Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 143 New Goalkeeper (below)

    Fulham FC analyzed the situation and agreed to negotiate with the Forest team on Van Der Sar.  The Forest team offered for two million pounds for the first time. Fulham FC refused if he didn't even think about it. They thought that if the Forest team really wanted Van Der Sar, at least they should show enough sincerity.  So the Forest team raised the offer to 2.5 million. This time Fulham FC hesitated for a while and did not give a reply in time.

    Just as they hesitated, the Nottingham Evening Post published an interview with Twain. In the article, Twain talked about some things about the team, including the Goalkeeper issue.  He did not deny that the Forest team negotiated with Fulham FC, but he did not admit that Van Der Sar would come.  For Goalkeeper, he mentioned Frey in Parma, saying that he really appreciates Goalkeeper like Frey.  Reminiscent of the number of goals lost by the Forest team, and then look at the recent bad economic situation in Parma. Everyone thinks that Toni Twain has taken a fancy to Frey and hopes to bring him to England.

    The Forest team is now looking for Goalkeeper and Manchester United FC all over the world looking for Goalkeeper. It’s not news. After all, the first half of the Forest team’s goals are in the forefront. Everyone can see that Darren Ward is no good. .

    After considering it for a long time, Fulham FC finally agreed to the Forest team's offer, 2.5 million pounds.  Now Twain can talk directly to Van Der Sar.

    If it was half a season ago, the Forest team was almost unattractive for Van Der Sar, but the situation is different now.  Nottingham Forest FC successfully entered the UEFA Europa League semi-finals, ranking first in the English Premier League league, in addition to losing to Liverpool FC, and the strong team's Forest team to get the upper hand.  Fully showing the strength that is not in line with their newly promoted status, Van Der Sar is a smart person, Manchester United FC's promise is not yet there, there is a ready-made opportunity.  He also wanted to leave the half-dead Fulham FC.  At the end of my career, I can go to a club that has a pursuit. Isn't it good?

    Now he doesn't know that after he transferred to Manchester United FC next summer, he also helped Manchester United FC to take a League Title and become the most stable member of Manchester United FC.

    The Forest team promised that Van Der Sar's salary will remain the same, with a weekly salary of 40,000, and other bonuses if it performs well.  The contract is for two and a half years, and finally depends on his status to decide whether to contract renewal.  After two years, Van Der Sar is thirty-six years old, and no one knows how he can perform at that time.

    Van Der Sar is very happy with this contract.  He signed his name on it.

    Before Christmas, the Astronomical Station and several media reported that the Fulham FC's Netherlands Goalkeeper Van Der Sar signed the Forest team. The contract began on January 1, 2005 and ended on June 30, 2007. The specific salary was not announced.

    Twain is very happy Van Der Sar finally chose Forest.  For him, the Netherlands veteran is not the future plan of the Forest team, but his arrival can guarantee that the Forest will at least have a smooth transition for two years. This time is enough for Twain to continue to explore the young and excellent Goalkeeper in the Transfer market.  And Van Der Sar's experience is also the most needed for the Forest team's defense.  After all, Hierro is thirty-six years old. Due to age and injury, the number of appearances is not too much.

    Goalkeeper is a position that will not change easily once it is fixed. Van Der Sar is behind the defense and Twain is reassured.

    Toni Twain once again took the person he saw from Alex Ferguson.  The two men are estimated to be more and more divided.  He snatched away the main Goalkeeper that should have belonged to Manchester United FC, so who would Manchester United FC choose to reproduce their glory in the future? Twain can't think of it either…In addition, as to what Sir Alex Ferguson heard after Van Der Sar was snatched away by the Forest team in advance.  He is also unknown.

    It’s just that he vaguely feels that between himself and the English Premier League godfather’s Manager, I’m afraid I won’t say “I appreciate him” in front of the media.

    Why? It’s not that Ferguson looks down on Twain, nor is it Twain.  But because in the future, the two of them will become very competitive opponents.

    Before Christmas, the league played a total of 18 rounds. Nottingham Forest FC ranked eighth with seven wins, six draws, five losses and twenty-seven points. When they had the best results, they were ranked fourth.  If it is not the last few rounds of the league team lost consecutively.  Their ranking can be stabilized at the fifth.

    Twain felt a pity for two consecutive losses to the team of the middle and lower echleon.  Now they have signed Van Der Sar, hoping to improve the team's poor number of goals.

    On December 26th, the 19th round of the league, Nottingham Forest FC, who lost two games in a row, will face the second-lowest Southampton FC in the home game. This is to get the team out of the current situation. Great opportunity.

    One day before the game, the team only trained for half a day, when Twain saw a pot of Christmas trees in the hall of Building No. 1, and a gift piled under the tree.  He only remembered that Christmas is here.

    It’s been a year in a blink of an eye…

    He stood under the tree watching the players interested in looking at the box with their own name in the pile of gifts.  All this feeling is so familiar, except for some people.  It is almost the same as a year ago.

    Seeing that Wood didn't go to join in the fun, but came to him, he knew what was going on.

    "Merry Christmas, George.  ”

    "Merry Christmas, Mr..  ”

    "Is your mother still okay?"

    "Good, she asked me to ask you to go home for dinner at night.  "When I said this, Wood East looked at it. It seems that it is not very interesting."

    We provide comprehensive support

    "You and that…"Wood frowned and thought about it, then said, "Tang, Chinese.  ”

    Twain scratched his head and he forgot to have Tang…Is it not subconscious to have one more light bulb? This question is really hard to say clearly.

    "No problem. When you finish training, you should go with me to the Youth Team Base. I have to call him.  ”

    Wood nodded, but did not immediately turn away, but took a small box from the coat pocket and stuffed it into Twain's hand, then turned back to the Christmas tree to find his own gift.

    Twain unpacked the outer packaging and lay a quietly zippo lighter inside.  This thing is not expensive, it can't be worth a few dollars.  The lighter pressed down a small greeting card, which was slanted and written:

    Thank you, I wish you a Merry Christmas.

    Twain smiled.
