Chapter 22 Tangning?! Beg for the Moon
Chapter 22 Tang Ning?! (First update, please give me a monthly ticket!)
He did not tell Chen Xing what Nian wanted to talk to Daglish. Chen Xing was not only the chairman of the club, he also had other positions and jobs. It was impossible for him to be eight hours a day, and he was in charge of the team five days a week. So many times, the person who had the final say in the club was actually Nian.
When communicating with the head coach such a small matter, Nian naturally doesn’t have to call Chen Xing to report it, prepare a case or something.
He went straight to Daglish's office to find it.
"Hey, Kenny. Are you free now?" He walked in and asked after knocking on the door of Darglish's office.
"I'm about to get off work." Daglish shrugged. "Is there anything, road?"
"Actually, there is nothing to do. We rarely talk to you, right?"
Daglish smiled: "That's right, we rarely talk so alone. But I think you came to me to discuss what to eat tonight, right?"
Nian also smiled: "Of course. What do you think of the hero?"
"He? He is a very outstanding center forward. I think he can become the next Alan Shearer." Compared with Chen Yingxiong to the next Alan Shearer, Daglish's evaluation of Chen Yingxiong was quite high. Why did Daglish win the championship when coached in Blackburn has a lot to do with him using Hiller well.
"His header is excellent, isn't he?" Nion asked knowingly.
"certainly."
"So... don't you think we should consider introducing wide players?" Nian didn't have the patience to deal with Daglish, and he spoke out his thoughts directly.
After hearing his words, Daglish slapped his face: "Ha! I'm about to tell you, road! I have a goal, I think he will definitely improve our wing offensive ability significantly after he comes."
Nian was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Daglish was really prepared to introduce wing players. If this is true, he would have wronged him...
He was interested in the goal that Daglish values: "Who is that?"
Daglish reported a name: "Downing!"
Nian was stunned after hearing the name: "Who?"
"Stuart Downing!" Dalglish repeated.
Nian was strange: "Why?"
"Why?" Daglish also had a strange reaction to the team's general manager.
"Yes, why is it Tangning?" Nion asked.
"Why can't it be Downing?" Dalglish spread his hands and shrugged and asked.
"I don't think he's good..." Nian said.
Daglish frowned: "He has good speed and technology, and is relatively comprehensive. I think he is the talent we need, road." In fact, he still has subtext, that is - you, an Italian, know how much do you know about our English players? Just say that they are not very good!
When Nian heard that Daglish was planning to buy Tangning, he was furious. He had decided that he would definitely stop the transfer transaction no matter what.
He was telling the truth. He really thought that Tangning was not very good, his speed was not fast, and his skills were average. He was really amazing when he was in Middlesbrough, but after so many years, he did not play, but instead he still regressed. The most important thing is that he believed that Tangning would not use his brain to play football and his ball quotient was not high. Such a player would only bury his head on the wing. When it came to the bottom line, he couldn't take it and then crossed. As for the quality of the cross... then he didn't care.
Relying on such a person to transport shells to Chen Yingxiong? Go dreaming!
Although Downing was the best player in Aston Villa last season, so what? Here is Liverpool!
Moreover, as a young and famous English player, Downing has been hyped up as a genius by the English media, and now he is incredibly inflated.
"His ball deal is very bad, Kenny. I think he may not help us much in the team..." He tried to convince Darglish.
But Daglish waved his hand and interrupted: "I've been following him for a long time, road. I think he's very threatening on the wing. Most importantly, he's an English player."
"So what?" Nian no longer spoke politely.
"UFA's new policy requires that the starting lineup of each game must have at least six local players. Downing is a local player, and buying him can solve this problem." Daglish explained, but he expressed doubts about the general manager's business ability. He didn't even know the famous "6+5", what club manager he is?
Daglish always believed that Nian was promoted by his relationship with his boss Chen Xing. Otherwise, with that person's ability, he would definitely not be able to take the position of general manager.
"We can buy another English player, but there is no need to buy Downing," said Nian. "I don't think he can help the team when he comes... To be honest, he was really good when he debuted, but in recent years he has played more and more back, and has made no progress at all. And he is better than him, and there are more and more wing forwards than him. There is no need to keep staring at Downing."
Daglish saw Nian questioning the person he liked repeatedly, and he was a little annoyed and decided to give Nian some strong evidence.
He turned on the TV and the video recorder.
"Look at this," he said to Nian, pointing to the TV screen.
As the screen lights up, Nian saw Downing wearing Aston Villa training suit. He faces the camera. There are three trash cans lined up on the training ground in the distance, and there are three footballs under his feet.
Tang Ning turned around and gave a thumbs up at the camera, then kicked the ball.
He played three balls in one go, and the three footballs flew into their respective trash cans accurately, and the lid of the trash cans was also locked down!
"Look, Lu Tangning has such footwork and skills. Is there any problem with this?"
Nian was stunned - he was not shocked by Downing's excellent footwork, but was shocked by Daglish's use of this vague video as evidence of signing.
He now has great doubts about Daglish's insistence on introducing Downing.
Why did Dalglish insist on introducing Downing? Downing's current value is not low, it is very inflated, and its level is not very good. At least it does not meet Liverpool's requirements.
He also remembered that Daglish wanted to introduce young Jordan Henderson when he saw this, and even paid a high price of 15 million pounds.
There are some tricks here... Almost all the older generation of head coaches in English football have manipulated transfers and made profits from it. Why did Arsenal's legendary head coach Graham step down? Nottingham Forest's godfather Brian Crowe received kickbacks during Sheringham's transfer to Tottenham Hotspur. The other party to this matter is Venables, a poor reputation in English football. The coach Redknapp, who is currently active in Tottenham, was stormed with the commissions being charged from players' transfers. Even Manchester United's symbol Ferguson has been charged similar accusations - because a company whose son's agency almost monopolizes the transfers of many Manchester United players.
Daglish also had this kind of thing, but that was a long time ago.
If this is the case... Donning cannot be allowed to come to the team. Nian cannot allow the team's head coach to use the opportunity to manipulate player transfers to earn a lot of money for himself, which will damage the interests of the entire team and the club.
The conversation between the two did not continue. After showing Nian the video of Downing to Nian, Daglish said bluntly that he was going home and that he would talk about something tomorrow.
Nian didn't continue to get entangled. He thought the video tape was too weird, so he had to check it out.
Such videos often appear now. It seems that Nike used this method when he was promoting Ronaldinho. He kicked the crossbar several times in a row and then bounced back to continue shooting the crossbar. At that time, the video was released and it caused heated discussion around the world, and everyone was guessing whether it was true or fake.
Nian felt that even if the video of Tangning was real, it would not mean that Tangning had outstanding abilities, because even an ordinary player could still play such a ball after hundreds of experiments. It was nothing strange. Taking such a juggling video, or even recording videos repeatedly as evidence of signings, isn't Daglish too much?
※ ※ ※
After returning home, Nian spent the whole night studying this matter, looking for evidence and information.
It is not a matter of Darglish's interest in Downing. News, the whole of England knows, and he has been pursuing Downing since last season.
Although there are other candidates in the wing position, such as Manchester City's Adam Johnson, Darglish is only in love with Downing.
This kind of love seems inexplicably strange to Nian. If Liverpool is a relegation team, it is understandable to love Downing. However, Liverpool is a giant with a goal in the European game. Downing is a bit in a class for Liverpool.
Don't Daglish know? He is an old coach, and he doesn't understand such a reason? Then why does he like Tangning so much?
Not only did Nian find this strange, but even Liverpool's own fans can't understand it. In their opinion, Adam and Johnson are much better than Downing, but Darglish just likes Downing.
Another reporter asked Darglish a question like this. Darglish's answer was that Darglish was at a sufficient level. The most important thing was that Dargning himself hoped to come to Liverpool, which would reduce the pressure on the team to introduce players and would not be asked by the opponent to pay so much transfer fees in vain.
Liverpool fans accepted this explanation - it was true. Downing announced in public many times that he would go to Liverpool if he wanted to transfer. He is a Liverpool fan.
This can indeed win the favor of many Liverpool fans.
But the problem is that Downing is so eager to come to Liverpool, his value has not been reduced because of this...
20 million pounds! Aston Villa insisted that this number was not relaxed, and Downing himself did not make any move to cooperate with his beloved gifts, such as threatening the club and insisting on transfer. Look at how Charlie Adam transferred from Blackpool to Liverpool? He was in court with his old club!
If you want to buy Downing, it is not completely impossible, but Nian is completely unacceptable to paying 20 million pounds. 20 million pounds can be sold in England and even the entire Europe to a very good wing forward. Why pursue Downing?
What made him even more furious was that when collecting information, Nian also discovered the information about the video - this video was produced by Aston Villa's multimedia department. The producer personally admitted that the video was "made" by them using video tools! Just like the PS of the picture, the transplanted flowers and wood made Tangning's magical technique of shooting three consecutive balls into the trash can!
He was blown up at that time - if I really bought Tangning back, wouldn't he be foolish by Aston Villa's people? I cheated 20 million pounds from myself with a fake thing! Do you really think that Liverpool's money fell from the sky?!
※ ※ ※
ps, the matter about Downing's video is true. There are also rumors that Liverpool decided to buy Downing after watching this video. In addition, Darglish has always been very interested in Downing.
But I don’t know if there is any necessary connection here, but as a novelist, I can still make up the necessary fabrication.
Anyway, everything is needed for the plot~~
