Chapter 40: What Has Happened and Will Happen(1/2)
Chapter 40 What has happened and is about to happen
Mourinho said after the game that he felt very regretful that Nottingham Forest did not lose, and there was some reason. Don En said that he was very dissatisfied with not winning this game, but he felt a little stubborn.
In this situation, it is actually a good result to draw at home. After all, they have to focus more on the Champions League.
After the league with Chelsea, Nottingham Forest ranked sixth in the league with 18 points. Immediately afterwards, another Champions League group stage.
At the city stadium, the Forest will usher in Bordeaux in France.
This is not a powerful opponent, not to mention that it is at the home court of the Forests.
Don En expected that as a visiting team, Bordeaux would definitely shrink his defense at the city stadium and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. So he took this opportunity to see how he emphasized how to play the ball.
The Champions League group stage was used to serve as a warm-up match for training. If the opponent knew about this, Bordeaux would definitely think he was humiliated...
The game was well guessed by Donn. Bordeaux did shrink at the Forest's home court, and it was obvious that the defense counterattack, while the Forest's possession rate was as high as 68%.
The ball possession rate has increased, but the opportunities created have not increased. He attacked around the opponent, but still could not find the opportunity to send the football to a dangerous area to form a shot.
Nottingham Forest players have become accustomed to the game mode of attacking others and defending and counterattacking themselves. It is difficult for them to correct it for a while.
It is impossible to become a reality as imagined.
Tang En sighed on the coaching seat, it seemed that he and the coaching staff still had a long way to go.
In the end, Forests only defeated Bordeaux 1-0 at home, and the goalkeeper Van Nisstruy. If he insisted on his previous tactics, he would win at least two goals.
When training resumed the next day, Tang En gathered the teams as usual and watched the video of yesterday's game together. At the same time, he and Tang analyzed every detail of the game for everyone.
The Forest team rarely tried the way to control the ball in the past. Now that they have to decide to take this path, Tang En naturally wants everyone to see what path they are going to take.
Tang is a master of tactics. With him explaining, everyone re-analyzing the game from the perspective of bystanders. They can clearly know where they are doing well and where they are not.
Where is the problem, what is the specific problem, and how should it be avoided?
After each game, there will be a "training" to solve problems by watching videos and revisiting the game. Since Tang was promoted to the first team, he has done the specific analysis work, and Tang En is only responsible for supplementing.
All of the whole morning was spent watching the game video repeatedly. No one thought it was a waste of time, because in the game, players often only knew to act according to their instincts, and now they used the bystanders to re-watch the games they played.
In addition, Tang analyzed next to him that as long as he is not a fool, he will feel that he will benefit a lot.
This training mode was rarely done before, so I watched the game video. But if I insisted on becoming a separate training mode, Tang En might be the first.
Tang En's idea is very simple: football is not just a physical exercise, but also a brain-based exercise.
After experiencing setbacks and troughs in the previous period, Nottingham Forest entered a stable period in the league. The game results are neither good nor bad. However, compared with the Forest team's consecutive victories in the early stage of the league last season, the difference is still very obvious.
After the game against Chelsea, Forests first defeated Newcastle 1-0 away and then defeated Bolton 2-0 at home. Next, when everyone thought Forests were going to move forward at high speed, they lost to Manchester United 1-2 at their home court.
Although he lost the ball, Tang En was not unhappy at all.
Because George; Wood is back.
The eight bans ended, as if the demons returned from hell. George; Wood returned to the top league with his cold expression.
"What did you learn from the reserve team?" Donn asked George, who walked out of the locker room with a smile, and Wood.
"The coach asked me to attack." Wood answered honestly.
Don Eun smiled, it seemed that McPalland completed his explanation very well.
"How do you feel?"
"Progress...not very fast." Unexpectedly, Wood frowned and shook his head, not satisfied with his performance.
"Oh? Why?"
"The opponent is too weak..."
Don laughed.
"You'll be despised of the reserve team's game so soon?" He tilted his head and looked at Wood, his eyes full of smiles. "But it doesn't matter, you can come back to compete at a high level now.
At that time, show what you have learned in front of those powerful opponents, and you will surely startle them! But...of course. Don't be so impulsive anymore. Look. You are fined and the team's performance is unstable. You have not gained any benefits either."
However, the team's performance is unstable, but it is not entirely because Wood was suspended. Done said this, just hopes that Wood will consider the cost of doing this before doing anything in the future, whether it matches the profit.
Wood nodded: "I get it, boss."
"Go to train." Tang En waved to the training ground and Wood ran up.
"Hey, George! How do you feel after eight games?!" Ribery shouted loudly, causing laughter from his teammates around him.
George didn't answer, and ran up and slapped Ribery, slapped Ribery on the shoulder. Ribery also cooperated and grinned and lowered: "Hey, be gentle!"
Don Eun was happy to see Wood get along with everyone, although he still seemed a little reserved. But this was much better than when he first appeared in the first team.
"How is George doing in the reserve team, boss." Albertini's voice sounded behind him.
Tang En looked back at him. He had just changed his training clothes from the locker room.
"He's there, and the coach asked him to mainly participate in the offense. But... he said there was not much progress."
"Because the opponent is not strong enough?" Albertini quickly guessed the core of the problem.
Tang En nodded. “This kid has a pretty high vision.”
"A high-level game is a hotbed of progress for young players." Albertini said.
Tang En looked at this Italian veteran and felt that he was really a good helper, with the highest prestige among the players, and was responsible for the connection between the coaching staff and the locker room. He comforted the lost players and helped to promote new players... He was doing all these tasks.
He was a little reluctant to leave this person.
"Hey, Demi."
"What's the matter, boss?"
"You have performed very well in recent games."
"Thank you for your compliment, boss."
"Do you want to...reconsider the decision to retire?" Tang planned to persuade Abeltini to give up the idea of retiring after the end of this season. He knew that hope was slim, but he always had to give it a try.
Albertini shook his head without hesitation and rejected Donn's proposal: "Give me aside, boss. I was thirty-two when I first came to the Forest Team, and now I am thirty-five. I am old and tired."
"Please, please don't say that, Demi. Think about our original goal... Have you forgotten? I'll tell you that the Forest team has a big goal, and the League Cup is just a starting point." Tang En is still making his final efforts.
Albertini smiled and shook his head: "Of course I haven't forgotten, boss. I have never doubted your goal. Look at the current team, it is completely different from when I first came. They are all very good young men.
"He looked at his teammates playing and playing on the training ground. "The goal of the Forest team is the champion. But I don't think I can wait..."
He said halfway through and suddenly stopped talking. Maybe he thought it was not good to say that, did the Forest team take a long time to win the championship?
"Are you afraid you won't be able to wait for that day?" Tang En told him.
Albertini did not answer the silence, but silence was equivalent to default.
"Okay, Demi. I'll give up on your plan to persuade you to stay." Tang En spread his hands. "But I have to give you a farewell gift."
“What is it?”
"Keep confidential." Tang En started playing with children's things.
Albertini didn't expect Done to say this, and was stunned and laughed again. "Okay. Boss. I'm waiting for your gift."
After Wood returned, Nottingham Woodland's lineup was finally no longer incomplete. The team's performance in the league has also slowly and steadily rebounded.
George Wood even began to actively try to actively participate in offense in the game. Although the main task is defense, his contribution to offense is no longer zero.
The Champions League group stage... There is no suspense. After maintaining the victory, Forest team qualified early after 1-0 home victory over Bordeaux. With the remaining two group stages, Tang En rotated significantly and almost replaced the entire lineup.
He wants to give more players the opportunity to get into high-level events, and the day before the training will be used for a while.
That kind of situation last season can't happen again.
In a blink of an eye, time is getting closer and closer to the end of the year.
During this period, a lot of things happened in international football. Some things Tang En is very familiar with, which is not much different from what he knows, and some things should not be different because of Tang En's arrival.
Among these things, some Tang En didn’t care about them. Some Tang En was very concerned about them.
What kind of coach Capello is? He knows very well. What kind of team Real Madrid is, and Don also knows very well. When the rebellious superstars of Real Madrid meet Capello who is in charge of the iron fist.
Tang En knew exactly what the situation would be.
Ronaldo is on Capello's list of cleanings. It is said that he is very close to AC Milan. Some people say that Morati is thinking about his old love and wants Ronnie to return to Inter Milan... He was swept out by Real Madrid and Ronaldo is still a celebrity in the transfer market even if he is down.
Even Forests Marketing Manager Alan and Adams once asked Donnie excitedly whether to try to contact Real Madrid. Now they are in a hurry to sell Ronaldo, and Ronaldo is also in a hurry to escape from the Bernabeu hell, and the transfer fee should not be high.
Don En agreed to Allen's analysis of the price of the transfer, but he refused to introduce the Brazilian scorer. It's very simple, he doesn't like players who can't control it. Ronaldo is obviously not a good kid who can be obedient under his own hands.
So Don told Allen that no matter how famous Ronaldo is, no matter how talented he is, or how good he can score goals, he doesn't want it.
Is there a Ronaldo who competes with me for the boss? I feel so tired...
Another person, Don Eun, is David and Beckham. He was originally just a person who met once, because Shania, a little girl who is active in the modeling and fashion industry, became friends. The world is very wonderful.
After this relationship was added, Tang En cared more about this person.
Everything seemed to be developing according to the written script. No matter how hard Beckham worked in training, he would not get Capello's favor.
Capello has no good impression of those stars whose business influence is greater than football influence, such as Ronaldo. He believes that Beckham appears at Real Madrid just because he can help the club sell more jerseys.
Since Beckham took over the hot girl Victoria, more and more people in the world have seen him like this.
