Chapter 19 Dunn's mockery
Chapter 19 Tang En's ridicule
Since Don En asked the security guards to drive away the journalists around the training ground, the players did not know what happened from the apology of the three teammates until the end of the training. Looking at the head coach Don En's gloomy expression, they did not dare to whistle.
Because the team will go to Amsterdam to challenge the first opponent Porto in the invitational tournament the next day, half a day after today's training, Tang En announced tomorrow's roster after the three people publicly apologized.
Because it is a warm-up match, the restrictions on substitution quotas are relatively relaxed. Both sides can change five players in one game. So, in fact, this roster is not very meaningful, and almost the entire team can go to the arena.
However, today Tang En announced this list specifically, which was to give three people who made mistakes a public warning, and also to kill chickens and give monkeys a trick to show them.
In the big roster he announced, there were no names of Ashley Young, Allen Lennon and Gareth Bale. The three parties had known about it in advance and had no reaction to it. The reactions of the other people on the team made Tang En very satisfied.
"Although you can't play games, you can still watch the game on site." After reading the roster, Tang En said to the three people standing outside the team. "Sometimes, watching games in the stands is also a kind of training."
Handing the notebook to Chris Lack, Donn took another assistant coach, Don, out of the training ground and walked towards the temporary press conference hall.
There were already crowds of impatient journalists.
Before Don't come, this small "press conference hall" was already overcrowded, and media from England, the Netherlands, and elsewhere flocked to them because they received Don't's promise to answer all questions after training.
But what else can there be a problem? All you want to ask is only one question - the news that the three players in Nottingham Forest are suspected of hiring prostitutes.
As a new high in European football, isn’t it very interesting to have such a scandal? What’s more, these three players are all very young.
Pierce Bruce was also in the crowd. He came early, so he seized the advantageous terrain - at the front, there were chairs to sit.
The small room was filled with crowds and buzzing. Everyone was discussing the incident at the red light district of Amsterdam last night, and speculating how Coach Donn would face this embarrassing scandal at the press conference later.
"I know what kind of person Tony Tangen is, so he likes to go against us." An obese middle-aged man was talking big in the crowd. "We talked about one, but he talked about two. We talked about yes. He insisted on answering no.
He always doesn't seem to want us to work more easily... But this time, I want to see what he has to say. The photos are real here!" He patted a stack of newspapers in his hand.
"We can post more photos as long as I want!"
Bruce glanced at it and the words "The Sun" placed on the newspaper were very eye-catching. It turned out to be a reporter from the Sun...
"You'll post it and see." Tang En's voice suddenly rang out from the back door, and everyone stopped talking and turned their eyes to Tony Tang En, the head coach of the Forest Team who appeared in the venue.
"Sir. Your voice is so loud. The room is so noisy that I can accurately find you, a unique person outside from a bunch of fly-by sounds." Tang En pointed to the fat man who seemed very abrupt in the crowd.
Bruce held back his smile.
But someone couldn't hold it in, and a burst of laughter came from the scene. Amid the laughter, the reporter of the Sun newspaper blushed and was about to sit down.
"Don't sit down. Mr. Reporter. Let's start with you." Tang En pointed to the reporter who was about to sit down, "Didn't you just say you want to publish more photos? Very well, I'm very looking forward to seeing more fresh and interesting photos.
I suggest that the Sun newspaper make a special issue and put the photos in your hands. All of them will not be too enchanting. You know, if you consider this issue from the perspective of readers... it is absolutely not comfortable to read the entire series."
After saying this, he looked at the other party: "Do you have any questions to ask, Mr. Sun reporter?"
The fat man coughed, sorted out his mood, and decided to fight back. "Of course, Coach Tangen. We want to know what you think of the three players appearing there at night? Tomorrow is the game. And your men went to the brothel..."
"I think it's normal." Tang En replied expressionlessly. "If you are a man, you have that kind of physiological needs. It's normal for a reporter from the newspaper to go shopping in the kiln at night. The reporters and gentlemen of the newspaper have all got married, right?"
Laughing comes again.
This is the feature of the press conference with Tang En present. Although there are many reporters, there will definitely be no such person to ask questions. More people are looking at how Tang En confronts the media, his expressions and his words.
His actions...he felt like he was watching a wonderful show.
So. Not all media are opposite to Tang En. Some media actually stand on Tang En's side with the mentality of watching the excitement.
The fat reporter of the Sun was speechless by Tang En's refutation. That's right. This news was first disclosed by their newspapers, and it also contains photos. The evidence is conclusive. Tang En couldn't deny it even if he wanted to deny it.
Unexpectedly, Tang En didn't want to deny it at all. After admitting it openly, he kicked the ball back to the Sun. My player went to the Fengyue venue last night, so what did the people from the expensive newspaper do?
"Okay. 'Three young players from Nottingham Forest are visiting prostitutes' - this is your original words. Now it's my turn to ask..." Hearing Tang En say this, the reporters here were inspiration.
Recorders, microphones, shorthand notebooks, mobile phones... are all in working state.
"What about the evidence that my people are escorting prostitutes?"
Tang En's rebellious question stunned the Sun reporter for a moment.
"Evidence? Are these photos not?" he pointed to the newspaper in his hand.
Tang En smiled, smiling happily: "Catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, catch the evildoers and catch the two. You said that my people are visiting prostitutes, so please publish the photos of them having sex with prostitutes in the bed."
"This..." The Sun reporter never expected that Tang En would come back and deny this incident from this perspective.
Who would follow the brothel and squat on the bed and take photos secretly? Only one person is allowed to enter at a time, and the people behind have to line up outside. No matter how powerful their reporters are, they can't force themselves to break through.
Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Tang En began to sarcastically do his best.
"Oh, has the Earth Sun not installed a candid camera in every brothel in the red light district of Amsterdam? This is a pity!" He shook his head and sighed, as if he really felt sorry for it.
"The Sun, I'm so disappointed!"
Many laughters of hard work sounded below.
Bruce was not worried about the impact of this incident. Now he sat in the best position, crossed his legs, and watched the movie happily - it would be even better if there was Coke and popcorn.
Of course, the opponent would not be so willing to humiliate Tang En.
The fat man quickly found the angle of counterattack: "As a successful team, Nottingham Forest, players are all role models of youth in society. Wouldn't Mr. Tang En worry about the bad impact of this incident?"
This is very reasonable. The stars are all young idols. Children like to imitate their idols' words, deeds, and dress up. The idols do things correctly, no matter how good or bad they do.
Stars are indeed obliged to pay attention to the various impacts their words and deeds have on fans, which is social responsibility.
Unexpectedly, Tang En looked down on this and waved his hand: "Stop kidding, a sightseeing in the red light district will cause a bad impact? Then the Netherlands can still exist in this world. Will you be very angry, Mr. Reporter?"
"This..." The other party didn't know how to deal with it again.
"I want you to know a little bit, Mr. Journalist. Except for training and competition, other times belong to the players themselves. I have no right to interfere with what they want to do. You are the same.
If it is bad to say that they go to that kind of place, then where do you do this by taking photos and hyping up the public?” Tang En was disliked by the Sun all the time. As long as it is possible, he would not miss the opportunity to humiliate the other person verbally.
"No one wants this kind of thing to be made public. It's personal privacy.
The Sun is very comfortable in invading other people's privacy and is complacent. Do you want to think carefully about what adverse effects your approach has on millions of Sun readers? At least I think my players are healthier than the third edition of the National Girls in the 3rd edition of the National Daily and have a smaller bad impact on society.
”
Everyone can see that Tang En was determined to protect his players in public, and even said such heavy words, which involved social responsibility and moral reflection.
In fact, this is something that I know. The three Nottingham Forest players went to that kind of place, which is definitely not just "sightseeing", but Tang En just doesn't allow others to point fingers at his players and talk a lot.
He has done it after criticizing or scolding him. It’s not the turn of outsiders to interfere in the business.
"Who wants to criticize me here? I want to go back and tell your boss and remove the third version of the girl before talking about it."
Of course, the Sun would not really follow Tang En's "suggestions" and remove their pillars and "three-page girls" with fine traditions. Tang En told the Sun that they are not qualified to attack in this matter.
It was originally a serious team crisis. It just made Tang En disruptively a farce that made people laugh and cry.
Tang appeared at the press conference with Tang En. But no one noticed him, and he kept sitting next to Tang En. He never said a word from beginning to end, and didn't even make a sound, just like a sculpture.
He should be happy that the thing he was worried about turned into this result. But looking at Tang En's handling method, he can't agree with it... This person passed on the bad impact that might have on the team to himself.
Now the media is focusing on Tony Tangen and Sun reporters' verbal battles. Who cares about the "scandal" of three Forest players who went out to have sex with prostitutes at night last night?
He scolded reporters, fought against the media, provoked opponents of the football match, scolded the referees, and even turned against UEFA... Is he trying to become famous, want to become a "news figure" and enjoy the "great" of being on the front page of the newspaper? No matter how people look at it, Tang doesn't think so.
The man next to him just wanted to transfer the pressure the players should have to bear on themselves so that they could leave all their burdens and concentrate on training and competition.
But if you do this, your pressure will only increase...
Which team head coach does this? It's just a job, do you blame it, Tony?
"Okay, Mr. Sun reporter, you can sit down now, you have nothing to do." Tang En waved to the sweaty fat man and signaled him to sit down. Then he looked at Bruce sitting in the front row, "Who has any questions?"
The hint was obvious, and Bruce raised his hand and stood up and began to ask about some arrangements for the Forest team tomorrow's game.
The two sang together and the topic was successfully changed.
After seeing the wonderful show of Don En vs. Sun, the media were already satisfied.
Really, it doesn’t matter whether those three people have sex or not. This is what we want to see... Before Tang En, has there been such a head coach with a media with a wide influence so much? The ridicule and ridicule that does not give any face, and the scolding that hides a knife in a smile without swearing is much more newsworthy than prostitutes.
After drinking a bottle of mineral water, the press conference ended. The reporters' satisfied expressions dissipated, and the Warrendam training base under the deep twilight was gradually becoming deserted from the bustle.
Club staff were moving the chairs from the temporary news hall, while Tang En and Tang sat on the stage without moving. They let others be busy by their side, and they had no intention of getting up and leaving.
"Are you very tired?" Tang asked.
Tang En shook his head: "No, how could it be... I am the best at dealing with these paparazzi and are the most motivated." But the posture of leaning on the back of the chair had betrayed him.
Tang grinned and did not expose it.
"Don't you believe it?" Tang En looked at Tang sideways, "When I scolded that fat man, I felt very accomplished and happy! Especially when I saw his speechless bear...haha!" He laughed in a hoarse voice.
"Well, you'll go to the Sun tomorrow and get criticized. All England will know what you did." Don nodded in agreement.
"Who cares! They criticized me, and I made a lot of money, and I have made a lot of money. I have no obligation to be responsible for the impression of those who I don't care." Tang En wanted to drink water when he reached out to the bottle and found that it was empty.
He threw the water bottle out, and the empty bottle fell into the trash can pulled by the cleaner.
"Let's go, eat, I'm hungry!" Tang En stood up.
Tang really wanted to say to Tang En, "You look like a bear, and you feel very accomplished when you scold others."
But maybe this is what the other party wants to see, maybe the other party feels fulfilled when you scold you very happily? Because he got the explosive news.
Looking at Tang En's back, he still didn't say it, but just stood up and the two left here side by side.
"I originally thought you would sell Ashley Young in anger."
