Godfather Of Champions

Pepe's statement set off a storm in Nottingham and even England. No one had thought that the most loyal fighter in Nottingham Forest would take the initiative to request a transfer. You know, when he was banned by UEFA, the club stood behind him to support him.

But those who are familiar with the relationship between Pepe and Dunn will understand after a little thought. Peppa's object of allegiance is Tony Dunn, not Evan Daugherty. Now that Dunn has left the forest team, there is no need for Pepe to stay here. For him, there must be a problem in a club that can't even retain a meritorious coach. He doesn't have to play for such a team.

His choice to leave was natural.

But Nottingham Forest fans don't think so.

They think this is another betrayal that cannot be tolerated after Tony Dunn.

For several days, when Pepe went to training, he would see banners scolding him around the training ground.

"Go to Real Madrid! Traitor!"

"Think about who gave you all this today? It's Nottingham Forest!!"

Such a slogan was held by the fans, very eye-catching.

Even some people in the team couldn't understand his decision.

Of course, in fact, the most dissatisfied is the aloof Evan Daggerty.

When Pepe publicly announced that he wanted to leave the team in an interview, it was tantamount to slapping him in the face.

He called O'Neal to his office, nominally he wanted to hear what the head coach said, but in fact he had made a decision, and O'Neal was just here to hear the result.

"Real Madrid, Milan, and Manchester United... all really gave us Pepe's offer." Dogatti sat in his boss chair, a bit condescending. "I didn't want to think about it before, but things are different now, Martin."

It is different from when Dunn first met him. Today, Daugherty is one of the most successful club presidents in England. When Dunn left the position of head coach, his exposure rate increased greatly. Now the world Everyone knows that the leader of Nottingham Forest turned out to be such a man.

Just last week, during the opening of the club’s new stadium, he frequently accepted interviews from five television media, three magazines, newspapers, and media. His smiling photos appeared frequently in various media. He is touted by those media as the leader behind the previous glory of Nottingham Forest, and the soul figure who wants to continue to be a brilliant future for Nottingham Forest. He frequently published his football philosophy, team building policy, and showed his ambitions.

"I hope that in another five years, Nottingham Forest can truly become a world-class giants team. With the opening of this new stadium as an opportunity, we will also plan to build a new training base. Vilford is too old and too Small, it will continue to function as Nottingham Forest Football School in the future..."

He said so in the media. Let alone whether he has the money to carry out these magnificent plans, this blueprint alone scared many people. Vilford has only been put into use since the early 1990s, and it has only been more than two decades now. It is too old... as expected.

As a successful club chairman, Evan Daugherty, who frequently goes to high-end parties, now he is naturally unable to put his arms around the head coach's shoulders and make intimacy like a newcomer. He had to keep the distance between himself and the people below. The second Tony Dunn would never appear under his hands.

O'Neal was horrified by Daugherty's words: "We can't sell Pepe, he is the most important part of the team's defense..."

Dogty shook his head, not paying attention to the head coach's protest. "It's not that we want to sell him, but he asks to leave. Forcibly staying may not have good results, Martin. In addition, I remind you that Pepe is thirty-one years old. As a central defender, if If you don’t sell it at this time, you won’t be able to sell it at any good price.”

His tone seemed to be discussing international crude oil prices or gold futures.

O'Neal does not intend to give in. The people who sold before were all substitutes and marginal figures. He didn't care if he sold it. But the team has sold two central defenders in a row. If Pepe is sold again, where can I find a suitable candidate to take this position? The defensive line is unstable. How can we maintain this year's results? You must know that the goal given to him by Evan Daugherty is to ensure that he will enter the championship lap next season.

"I can talk to him. I believe he must have been affected by Tony Dunn's resignation, and he couldn't accept it for a while. This is just childish..."

"Thirty-one-year-old child?" Evan's sneer interrupted O'Neill.

O'Neill didn’t care about Mr. Chairman’s sarcasm. He continued to state his opinion: "Pepe is the core of our defense. If he goes, the entire defense will experience major turbulence. And we cannot withstand such turmoil now. Yes, Mr. Chairman. The team’s internal forces are unstable when the head coach is changed. If you sell people frequently, such a team will not even have the basic cohesion... The new season is about to start, I think I should try to keep it A stable lineup is better."

"On the contrary, Mr. O'Neal." Evan became impatient with this always rebellious head coach, and his name has changed from the cordial "Martin" to the indifferent "Mr. O'Neal." "I know who Peppa is toward, he doesn't listen to you. Leaving such a person in the locker room is the biggest threat to the stability of the team."

Evan was right. Although he never enters the locker room, there are some things that don't need to be in the locker room to understand. Pepe really doesn't convince the new coach very much, even if he is equally outstanding. But for Pepe, there is only one person in the world who can convince him, and no matter how powerful he is, no one else can replace that person's position in his heart.

O'Neal was silent for a while and wanted to struggle: "I still think that as long as I have an interview with him, any problem can be solved..."

Evan Daugherty laughed: "The results of interviews with him are the same many times. Peppa is determined to leave. So listen to me, Mr. O'Neill, give him up, let's go find a high level now. It’s not too late for the central defender to come. You still have time to run in the team. If you keep dragging on without making a decision, it will be too late when the league starts."

"I still have to talk to him once, I am the head coach. This is my responsibility." O'Neal stood up and left without saying goodbye.

Behind him, Evan Daugherty smiled disdainfully.

※※※

The result of the interview was not what Evan Daugherty expected, and it also made Martin O'Neill exhausted.

No matter what O'Neal says, Pepe just doesn't agree to stay in the team. Of course, he also said that he was not dissatisfied with coach O’Neal, but he told O’Neal bluntly that he was disappointed with the current club. Originally Tony Dunn’s Forest team was very human, but in the current team Can't see any warmth. He doesn't like playing in such an environment, it has nothing to do with which club pays high. He has the right to choose to play where he likes. He used to like to play in the Forest, but now he doesn't like it. It's that simple.

The players don't want to stay, the club chairman must step in and sell, but he can't do anything in the middle. Martin O'Neal feels that the two months with the Forest team are more tired than his season with Manchester United.

Finally, he nodded helplessly and agreed to Pepe's departure.

It was only one day, and it was only one day since he agreed to sell Pepe, and the official confirmation came from Milan, Italy.

AC Milan spent £30 million to bring in the 31-year-old world-class defender Pepe from Nottingham Forest. The deal was officially recognized by the two clubs.

O'Neill discovered a fact after seeing this news-even if he did not nod, Pepe could not escape the fact that he was sold. The Alan Adams who has been hiding must have flown to Milan long ago and signed all the agreements that should be signed. Even if he threatened Mr. Chairman by resigning at the club, he could not change this fait accompli.

The club's top management has done everything, but the head coach himself has been kept in the dark. He even felt that Pepe must have known the result of the negotiation in advance, only he wanted to persuade him to stay in the forest team like a fool...

※※※

When Peppa left Nottingham, no one would remember him well. No one ran to Birmingham Airport and smashed him with rotten eggs.

However, the media saw another thing worthy of fun from it-

Martin O'Neal said helplessly in the interview: "Pepe is an excellent central defender. Without him, my plan has to be rewritten..."

Obviously this transfer is not what the head coach wants to see, so it is the result of the forcible intervention of the club's top management. It seems that the once indestructible battleship Nottingham Forest is beginning to disintegrate a little bit from the inside. This is what the media are most interested in.

So they hyped up the news of Pepe’s transfer, and the whole Nottingham Forest was panicked. They don’t know who the next person will be sold.

After escaping from this vortex, Pepe raised AC Milan's red and black sword striped shirt at the Milan press conference, but smiled not brilliantly. Every child who runs away from home will occasionally remember the happy time at home in the dead of night?

In the future Champions League games, when his AC Milan and Nottingham Forest meet, that kind of memory may flood him like a flood. Of course, nothing may happen, as a professional player must get used to this separation.

"I...hope to...bring a championship trophy to Milan..." he said stumblingly in his unskilled Italian in front of the TV camera.

AC Milan coach Marco Van Basten is very happy, because AC Milan's weak defense finally ushered in a qualified central defender who can re-plan to dominate Europe.

"We got the best central defender on the planet!" Excited, he even put the world's first hat on Pepe's head.

So on the other hand, Nottingham Forest lost one of the world's best central defenders...

※※※

Pepe's transfer is not just as simple as the departure of a player. Since Pepe, the core and main force of the defense, can be sold, can Gareth Bale sell? Is Aaron Mitchell for sale? George Wood... can you sell it?

Who else can't sell this Nottingham Forest?

All European teams are crazy. In the eyes of those shrewd or not so shrewd team managers, Nottingham Forest does not have a promising future just because it just won the Triple Crown and moved to a new stadium. On the contrary, this team The team is simply a large supermarket with good quality and low price.

Tony Dunn has spent eleven years collecting and training players. Everyone has their value. The main players are favored by the rich and the substitutes are also liked by mid-range teams. As long as Evan Daugherty is willing, his team can instantly bring him at least £500 million in transfer fee income.

George Wood alone is estimated to be worth at least 60 million pounds. If he is an offensive player, he can even reach 90 million.

Just renewing the contract with the club is not a reason to stop those suitors. The renewal is just to hide the price, we have money!

"George Wood is the best midfielder in the world, better than Gerrard." Mourinho greeted Wood and hit his old rival Liverpool by the way. He hopes that this steel midfielder can join Manchester United to help the team fight other strong players. In addition, he is also very interested in the goalkeeper of the Forest team: "I hope the team can introduce a high-level goalkeeper, this is the key to the championship. Akinfeev is great, I have been following him, in Nottingham He has gotten good exercise in the forest, but I think he should consider changing places..."

"Mitchel is the second Ibrahimovic, he should play in a giant like Inter Milan." Inter Milan's new coach Zola threw an olive branch to the little giant of the Forest team.

"Ribery is great, but he is old after all. Perhaps for Michel, now is the best time to correct Real Madrid's previous mistakes." "Aspen" reported that Real Madrid failed to pursue Pepe. The goal turned to Gago's news.

"Barcelona's tradition is offensive. We need a left back who is good at offensive. Bell just meets our needs. It's that simple." Guardiola said of the summer signings plan.

"Abangraho is very fast. In the past few years in the Forest team, he has made him more mature, and his shooting ability has been improved than before. He is the type of player we need..." Manchester City also wants to come in and share the cup. .

"Shaheen is a genius player. If Bayern wants to prove themselves in Europe again, such a genius player can't be let go." According to German media, Bayern Munich and the Turkish midfielder born in Germany are increasing. Getting closer.

There are also Chris Cohen, Adriano Mok, Niklas Milan, Joe Matoke, Rafinha... and so on. Players have more or less received invitations from other teams. The sale of Pepe is used as a signal throughout Europe:

My supermarket is always open and all players are easy to sell. As long as you can pay, I wish you a happy shopping.

A new wave of offers to the Forest team players hit the Nottingham Forest Club. Before going to bed every night, Martin O’Neal would worry about getting up early the next morning. He read the news and found that his main player was sold out by Alan Adams. He has no doubt about this, because Alan Adams is indeed a guy who has money in his eyes. Although he has only been together for two months, O'Neill inevitably hates this businessman.

When he was frustrated by these transfer rumors, he received a call from Pierce Bruce.

"Mr. O'Neill, do you remember? I'm Pierce Bruce, a reporter for the Nottingham Evening Post. For the interview tomorrow, you agreed to me a week ago." Bruce knew that O'Neill had a hard time recently, and he was a little worried that the other party would regret it. .

Only then did O'Neill remember that there was such a thing. At this time, he didn't want to accept any interviews.

But... when he thinks of the things that have happened these days, he suddenly has a desire to talk, eager to tell others, he doesn't care whether the audience is the media or his wife and children.

Anyway, he didn't spit out some words quickly, and he couldn't care about how they would respond.

"Okay, I didn't forget, Mr. Bruce. You will come to my office at 10:30 tomorrow morning, and I will be there waiting for you."
