In fact, the subject of Chen Jian did not cause any sensation—not even the slightest ripple. A week later, after someone from the Nottingham Forest Football Club came in to help Chen Jian take care of all the procedures, he left the Tianjin Justice Jingguan School under the envious gazes of his classmates, and embarked on the journey to his dream in Nottingham.
There was no domestic media coverage of the matter. The Nottingham Forest Football Club was very low-key in its handling of it, and did not inform any media outlet. Allan Adams had wanted to hype it up in China so that the club could open up the Chinese market further. But Twain discouraged him, saying that it would not be too late to publicize it once Chen Jian had really made something of himself. Even if it was publicized now, it would not produce any effects. China's market was vast, but it would not be receptive to a young player whose future was unknown at the moment.
