Chapter 26 The Taste of Celebrity

The layers of fog that enveloped Tang was pushed away - at least on the surface - After answering the questions of many reporters at the press conference, everyone learned what kind of person Tang was, the story behind his coming to Nottingham Forest...and so on.

These materials are enough for Chinese media to report continuously for a week without any duplication.

However, there are fewer journalists outside the Wilford training base than before. The British and other foreign media have left, and only the Chinese media are left.

Sun Jihai's popularity in the field of Chinese overseas players on Piao Astronomy Station is also very low because most of the players are not doing well outside.

Sun Jihai may be the most glorious one now, because he is not an indispensable absolute main force in the most glorious team, Nottingham Forest.

If you make a big splash about Sun Jihai's little thing, you are somewhat suspicious of deceiving yourself.

"Chinese coach studying abroad" is a new propaganda point. No one has done this before. A large amount of freshness fills the hearts of domestic readers and pays great attention to the coach's words and deeds.

Although Tang was unwilling to be exposed to the media and the spotlight, he just wanted to be a coach and study football, and he didn't have to worry about anything else. Now he couldn't help.

For example, three days after the press conference, Nottingham Forest Club received a fax from Beijing, China.

CCTV5 hopes to go to the UK to shoot a special film related to Tang Dynasty.

Looking at Tang's frowning look, Tang En gloatedly agreed to the other party's request.

Of course, he was not deliberately embarrassed by Tang. Tang En considered that this was a good opportunity to make Tang more open to the opportunity.

Tang's personality is a bit like toothpaste and cannot be squeezed out. If there was no pressure from the outside world on him, he might have been living like that and would not have changed at all. It was like not going through time.

Tang may have been living in a solid shell like this, being a loser in Nottingham Forest, and was dismissed shortly after being an agent head coach, returning to the youth team... and then working for the rest of his life until he retired.

If he hadn't met Tang En, and without the person who had been nagging and trying every means to talk to him, he wouldn't have become what he is now.

Tang En is an external force that changed Tang. Tang still needs more external force. This media exposure for Tang, although it makes him uncomfortable, it may be a good thing.

Don't want to? Don't like it? This is not an excuse. You have to face these problems and try to solve them with an attitude you have never thought about, instead of negatively hudging into the shell and thinking that the whole world is no longer important.

So, Tang En forced Tang to this point, and he accepted the CCTV5 interview request.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. Tang. They are just reporters and will not eat you." Looking at Tang, who has been drooping his eyebrows all day since he learned the news, Tang En comforted with a smirk.

"I know this...I just don't know what to do..."

"What should I do? Do I need to do it? Is it very clear here?" Tang En pointed to a stack of paper in his hand. Just like Gronia came to shoot, Tony Tang En asked CCTV5 to also present a more detailed and specific shooting plan.

He nodded and the matter was finally concluded. "Just follow you to pat your daily life and training work, and if possible, you have to shoot another game."

Tang Yiran frowned: "I'm not used to putting my life in front of the public..."

Tang En patted his shoulder: "Sooner or later you have to get used to it, and you have to get used to it with me."

Tang looked up at him: "You public figure..."

"Ah haha!" Tang En finally stopped laughing secretly, this time he laughed happily.

"I'm not used to exposing my life to others' eyes. And letting others judge others, I'm not used to..."

"Tang. You have to reach the state of 'going your own way and let others say it'. No matter how others evaluate you, their evaluation will not affect your own life, nor will it make you lose a hair.

You are still you, and you won’t change just how others view you. If you are a person who cares about other people’s opinions so much...will you live like that for more than 30 years?" Tang En pointed to Tang before traveling through time.

After hearing Tang En's words, Tang was silent for a while, and then said, "But their intention to come here is to report a real Chinese coach. Am I?"

Tang En was also silent for a while. Sometimes they felt uncomfortable when they talked about the messy identities themselves.

"Uh, this... Actually, this question is very simple. You are a Chinese, completely, like a Chinese who is fake."

"What about you?" Tang looked up and asked Tang En.

In the dim room, Tang En's eyes flashed. "Me?" He pointed to the twilight sky outside the window. "Have you noticed the clouds floating in the sky? I am that thing."

Tang followed Tang En's hand and looked out the window. The sky was full of red clouds.

He understood what Tang En thought.

He could not go back to his home, but his biological parents were still alive. But he could only pretend that Tang's friend recognized his godfather and could only call him "Dad" and "Mom" openly.

Clouds are rootless things...

After Tang En agreed to the CCTV5 shooting plan, the other party acted quickly and arrived in Nottingham three days later.

They are unwilling to let go of such topics of concern to the current society, so that other media can be more beautiful than before. They have an advantage with those print media, that is, others report on text or pictures, but they can do video reports.

The moving picture is obviously more attractive to the audience than the unmovable picture.

After the other team came, Tang En, as the head coach of the team, went over and said hello, and acted as the master, and ignored them. He left all the reception matters to Tang.

Introduce the team's situation and tell them what to pay attention to during the filming... Tang will do all these things. Apart from that, Tang De's work has not changed much. He is still responsible for team training.

As for life shooting... Because Tang En and Tang live together, both of them think it is a bit bad if they are photographed, and they don't want to be on the cover of a gay magazine in the UK.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang took the initiative to move out. He didn't move too far... it was next door.

It doesn't prevent them from getting together to study game videotapes and tactical things, it just allows the media to see that there is no unexplained relationship between them.

Cctv5's shooting team can of course follow Tang to Tang En's house at night to shoot, shooting the scene where the two of them watched the game video and discussed tactics together. There is no problem with this. If Tang doesn't move out.

Maybe it's time to take a picture of two people going upstairs together...

When they knew they could go to Tony Don't shoot at home, the crew was very excited. Because they conducted an investigation, they found that no media had been allowed to enter the home of the character coach so far.

And they, CCTV5 from China, will be the first media to be brought into Tang En's private home.

Tang En didn't care that a Chinese media came to his home to shoot. There was nothing to do anyway. Tang's private life was perfect and impeccable after he was not yet drunk. He had nothing to criticize the media except for drinking.

Moreover, alcoholism is a social phenomenon in the UK, and it is normal for a British person to drink alcohol. The media will not make a fuss about it.

Seeing the excited expressions of those Chinese journalists, he felt that the people of CCTV5 would soon be tired of shooting Tangdi's life scenes, because this person's life was so simple and boring that it made people desperate.

Even when I live with myself, I always study videotapes on the TV screen.

Chinese audiences would not want to see the back of a hero who could save the Chinese football team in their minds, facing the TV screen without moving for two hours, right?

After dealing with all these issues, Tang En devoted himself to leading the team to train and prepare for the next round of the league. While he was struggling with Tang's affairs, the second round of the league had passed.

Nottingham Forest was commented by the media as "strong" to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 away.

The league started two rounds and Nottingham Forest won two consecutive victories.

They are also two teams that currently maintain a complete victory, ranking second with a small number of goals.

Chelsea, led by Mourinho, another madman coach who claimed to defend the league championship before the season, encountered some minor trouble - the start of the league two rounds, and Chelsea's results were only one win and one loss.

In the first round of the league, they defeated Manchester City at home, but in the second round, they lost to Middlesbrough in an unexpected situation.

It is worth mentioning that the person who scored the overtake score for Middlesbrough and the final decision-making goal was Mark Viduka, who transferred from Nottingham Forest.

bbc's comment on this is "Tony Donn relies on the former Forest player to continue his victory record against Mourinho on another battlefield."

This comment certainly won't satisfy Chelsea supporters, and Mourinho also thinks it's too nonsense: "If the performance of a player playing football on a new team can be recorded in the records of the former team, then the world is too stupid."

Tony Donn later expressed his own views on the series of remarks. This time he and Mourinho stood aside.

“…Viduka is an excellent player. I knew this very well when he played in Nottingham Forest.

I am very happy to see his success in Middlesbrough... However, the grudge between me and coach Mourinho still needs to be resolved in person... What, I said the grudge? Haha, how is it possible! You must have heard it wrong! I mean, coach Mourinho and I are now the head coaches of Nottingham Forest and Chelsea respectively, so the game between us must be the match between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.

You all know what I said, right?"

After being asked about this at a regular press conference, Tang En said so.

Of course, the media all understood. Isn’t it just the two of them that the matter between him and Mourinho? Others are not allowed to intervene. It’s just that the words are more tactful.

The reporters of CCTV5 were also on the scene. They felt the special appearance of Tony Tangen, the head coach with personality, and those who had evaluated the person's actions before. What they said was not false - it was really hard to simply draw a conclusion to him.

Just now, everyone heard him say "gratitude and grudges" in person, but he completely refused to admit it in less than ten seconds. And when he did this, his face was not blushing or breathing, as if he was just talking casually.

To put it bluntly... how can a person's skin be so thick?

To put it nicely...uh, is there any better statement?

These puzzled Chinese journalists decided to ask Tang, Tony Tang En, who is the head coach who combines two extreme evaluations? After all, Tang is the person who has the most contact with him.

As a result, Tang's answer disappointed them.

"I don't know what kind of person he is."

After the reporter "successfully tempted" for a long time, he said again: "You cannot simply use 'good' and 'bad' to evaluate him... or you cannot simply use the secular 'good' to evaluate him."

Nottingham Forest is no longer accusing of media tracking and shooting. When Gronia first came, she was a beauty, and everyone was still interested. Now, all the big men in this crew are all over the filming team, who cares?

What's more, people in the forest are no longer simple players, but should be called "stars".

They have long been accustomed to training under the spotlight and the media. After the new season begins, more and more reporters come here every day to interview. Of course, this is all due to their success last season.

Even if they go to the away game, they will follow a lot of media. It’s like a shark behind a whaling ship. Some people will enjoy the feeling of becoming famous, while others may not like this - just like Don.

Now no matter where he goes, a four-person filming team will follow him. When everyone pays attention to the reporters from Dongfang Kong, they will follow him. This is not the life he wants.

But he is not a person who complains about something unpleasant. So no matter how disliked this kind of life, he still works hard to cooperate with the other person's work - this is also his job.

His attitude towards work is to not refer to personal emotions at all, work is work. There is some difference between him and Tang En. Tang En often brings personal emotions into work, and it has become his unique style...

Fortunately, Tang's life like "Trueman's World" is about to end. Two days before the third round of the league began, CCTV5 people told Tang that after filming the game, they were about to leave Nottingham and return to China.

The third round of Nottingham Forest vs. Fulham will be the last.

This made Tang breathe a long sigh. There was always a kind of inexplicable pressure when he was stared at him, which made him feel a little breathless.

Although Tang En told him, "It's nothing, you will work and live the same way as you work and live on the other hand", how could you really think that these people around you are the same? This will definitely affect your work...

So, under such circumstances, the third round of the league is getting closer.

Nottingham Forest in the third round of the league is away again, and the opponent is not strong this time - Fulham, who was only ranked 18th in the previous loss and draw. CCTV5 chose this game to shoot, which was the result of careful selection.
Chapter completed!
