Chapter 65 Provocation (Part 2)

"Des, I don't want this kind of mess to mess up my game."

"Um?"

"I want to turn the defeat into the victory in the remaining games! I want those fans who laughed at us and insulted us, and that idiot coach... deeply understand what the outcome of their doing so!" Tang En looked down at his watch, then walked towards the fourth official with sweat on his head.

"I suggest entering the intermission early." He pointed to the stadium and said to the fourth official, "Now it's only one minute before the end of the first half. It's not OK to let my players wait on the court. Who knows what those crazy fans will do? If they break through the police and run up to attack my players, can you bear the responsibility? Entering the stadium, we go back to the locker room and leave all the problems here to the police to deal with!" This made the sweat on the fourth official's forehead even more intense...

It just so happened that Millwall's head coach McClellie also came up and expressed the same opinion.

Tang En didn't think of standing in the same trench as the other party. When he saw McClary coming, he turned around and walked back. Because of what happened just now, he had no good feelings for this person.

Since the head coaches of both teams hoped to enter the midfield early, the fourth official called the referee and discussed it with him for a few words. Then the referee stood on the sidelines and blew the whistle to indicate the end of the midfield. The players on both sides began to run to the locker room. Obviously, they also felt that it was very dangerous to stay on the court... The fans riots, just leave them to the police to solve. They can't do anything to stay on the court.

Tang En saw the scene he wanted to see and followed him back to the locker room.

The first half of the third quarterfinals of the League Cup ended in such a farce and riot…

All the players entered the locker room, and even the substitute player who was supposed to warm up on the court during the halftime break, Walker called back together. He was still going to warm up at this time, just kidding...

Done stood at the door of the locker room and watched the players run in from him with their heads down.

Compared with the frustrated Forest players, the leading Millwall players were very excited. Even the riots of fans did not affect their mood much. There were even people who deliberately laughed and talked about Cahill's goals when passing by the Forest's locker room, such as Kevin Mascart, who is also an Australian centre-back.

Hearing the ugly laughter of the duck, Tang En glanced at him. After seeing that the other party successfully attracted Tang En's gaze, he shrugged proudly, and then walked away with his teammates with a smile.

Turning back, Tang En walked into the locker room and closed the door. Suddenly, the laughter and noise outside could not be heard.

Looking at the dejected players in the room, Tang En seemed to feel that time had gone back. This is so similar to the scene of him traveling here in January.

Of course there are some differences, such as Tang En at that time, he didn't know what his future was, and was at a loss, as if a drowning person was thrusting desperately in the water. He wanted to hold anything that could save his life in his hand, even if it was just a straw.

Now? He has a goal to strive for, and he knows what he should do and what he is doing.   Not confused.   No hesitation, no doubt… He is firm in his heart, and his feet are also a solid road. Every foot on it will leave his footprints, and these footprints accumulate.   Extend from here to the distance.

This is his path to honor, his path to championship.

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. The atmosphere in the locker room was particularly depressing. It was a hundred times more depressing than on the subway.

Walker wanted to say something. But after looking at Tang En and the players with a straight face, he didn't seem to know what to say. He said "We will definitely win"? Who would believe this unconvincing words? He said "Everyone cheer up", what is the effect of this kind of light and perfunctory encouragement?

At this moment, he hoped that Tang En could speak, no matter what he said, even if he made a little noise. It would be better than letting everyone continue to remain silent! The morale of the team... the morale of the team will die in this uncomfortable silence!

Tony!

Walker turned his head to look at Donn, and found that he was staring at the locker room wall, as if there was something very attractive there.

Finally, someone couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere and coughed. Then more players raised their heads and looked at the head coach strangely.

This movement finally brought back Donne's gaze. He looked at the curious players and smiled. "I'm so sorry, I just thought of something." Now the people in the team who have not coached by him last season include Rebrov, Gareth Taylor, Gunnarson, and Danny Sauna. He plans to review these people a little about this situation.

"Well. I thought of some things about what I just took over this team last season. "Tang En was not in a hurry to arrange tactics, he told the story. "The team's situation was worse than it is now. Yes. How bad is it... Financial crisis, no transfer fees, and all the money obtained from players' transactions had to be used to pay off their debts. The team ranked middle in the middle, and everyone wanted to escape from the city court. We lost several games in a row. In the first game of my coaching team, we lost the opponent 0:3 at home. I was knocked to the ground by David and made a big fool of myself." Speaking of this, Tang En pointed at Johnson, and the black guy lowered his head embarrassedly.

"The situation is very bad. The people in the team must have been very clear about it last season. And when it is worse, we will soon face the super team West Ham United in the FA Cup... Although they are already a Class A team like us, they were still very good at that time. That game..." Tang En raised his head, and that game was really unforgettable for him. "We were fed three goals by the opponent before the break. Is it really bad? It's so bad!"

Even though he said so, Tang En laughed.

The old players in the locker room also laughed, and only a few new guys looked at the people around him for some reason. Is it funny to be three goals behind?

"At that time, we had no way out, there was no way! If we didn't think of some solutions in the second half, we would lose more goals! But what happened? We scored four of them!" Tang En shouted, and the passion he felt at the city court that day came back, "Four! No one was optimistic about us before the game, we made the super team West Ham United lose face! In the end, we could only rely on the referee to escape! The damn referee blowed away our two goals. Although we lost to our opponents in terms of rules, I never regarded that as a failure." Tang En stood at the door of the locker room and told the players who were focused on listening to him.

"What now? The team ranked fourth from the bottom in the league. He just changed the head coach and his morale was low. Before this game, we encountered a lot of trouble. We were one goal behind in the game, and were stimulated by the bastards with singing. Fans riots... wait and see. Are we sure we lost? Don't joke!" Tang En waved his hand, "It's just one goal behind! We can win back three goals behind, let alone one goal!"

"Michael! Andy! And everyone else, have you heard the singing in the stands just now?" Tang En asked loudly.

"I heard it, boss." Andy replied in a low voice.

"What do you think?"

"I... I wish I could kill those bastards!" Dawson gritted his teeth, clenched his fists. Other players of the Forest team were also as indignant as him, who had experienced the pain of failing to upgrade last season.

"So too." Tang En nodded, "but we can't do that. We can teach them a lesson in another way."

The players all looked up at Don Eun. Actually they knew what the method was, but they all looked forward to saying that from the boss's mouth.

"They put salt on our wounds, hoping to anger us, make us lose our calmness, make us confused and overwhelmed, make us unwilling to fight, make us surrender! They thought they did it! We are now one goal behind and walked off the court dejectedly... The idiots in Millwall are waiting to see our jokes from fans to teams! I bet the home team's locker room must be full of laughter, just like you imagined!"

Don Eun punched the door with a loud bang.

"We are insulted by them!" Tang En poked his chest and said, "Our fans are insulted by them!" He pointed to the ceiling again, "Even the dead people will be taken out by those bastards to insult them!!"

"Bang!" Another punch hit the door.

"Yes! They succeeded! They angered us!"

"Bang!"

"But they will soon regret doing this! We want them to know what the outcome is to anger us!"

"Bang!"

In the small locker room, there was no other sound except the banging sound of Tang En's fist hitting the iron door. Everyone looked at the almost crazy head coach, and the loud noises seemed to hit their hearts. They told them over and over again: What is shame!

"In the second half... beat them with goals in the second half! Those bastards sang a few times, and we scored a few goals raised by their bitches! Sing once, one! Sing once, one! Until the bastards dare not open their mouths again! They didn't even say something—permit—permit!!”

"Bang—bang—bang!!"

Tang En's roar echoed in the room, his left fist seemed to be burned red iron ingots, and the iron door of the locker room trembled and let out a burst of wretched cry as he kept knocking.
