Chapter 80: 0.1 and 100%
It was almost eleven o'clock when I returned to the hotel where I was staying in the evening. Tang En, who had been tired for a day, took a cool shower and fell asleep on the bed.
Next door, separated by a wall from him, Tang also took a shower after returning to the room, but after taking a shower, he did not fall to bed and fall asleep immediately because after washing his hair, he had to wait until his hair was dry before he could go to bed.
Taking this opportunity, Tang turned on his laptop and connected to the Internet. There was a problem that has been circling in his mind since it was on the bus, bothering him. If he didn't figure it out, he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.
Open the official Premier League website and click directly to the page of this season's schedule. Looking at the schedule on the screen, Tang fell into deep thought.
The situation seems to be different from what Tang En predicted...
In the 37th round, Manchester United challenged Manchester City away and Chelsea challenged Arsenal.
Two city derby...
The next morning, Tang En was woken up by a knock on the door. He turned over and picked up the watch on the nightstand, and it was only eight o'clock.
He didn't want to pay attention, but the knock on the door kept ringing.
"I don't need service!" Tang En shouted.
"Tony." Tang's voice came from outside the door.
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then jumped out of bed, put on a pair of underwear and went to open the door.
It was indeed Tang who knocked on the door. He was already dressed neatly and seemed to have had some time to look up.
"No training this morning-hehe..." Tang En yawned and walked towards the bed.
"Aren't you going to Mr. Chairman's house?"
"That's about 9:30. It's only eight o'clock now, and I can sleep at least an hour." As he said that, Tang En really turned over and lay on the bed, ready to go to bed.
"I discovered something interesting last night. I want to tell you that maybe it will be of some help to you when you go to see the chairman in the morning."
"What? Say it...hehe--" Tang En yawned again.
"Do you know who the opponents of Chelsea and Manchester United are in the remaining two rounds?"
Tang En, who was half asleep and half awake, shook his head. He murmured weakly: "Who remembers other people's schedule? It would be nice if I could remember the Forest team's schedule..."
"In the 37th round, Chelsea challenged Arsenal away, Manchester United challenged Manchester City away. In the 38th round, Chelsea faced Everton at home..."
Before Tang could finish speaking, Tang En sat up from the bed. He looked at Tang, and Tang nodded: "Two cities derby."
At this time, Tang En's sleepiness disappeared and he sat on the bed. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the bright sunshine outside the window blankly.
"How could this happen..." He murmured for a while.
“Is this good news or bad news?”
Tang En started to wear clothes, and now even if he was letting him lie on the bed, he couldn't sleep. "I don't know. It's good news to handle it well, but it's bad news to handle it well."
He set up a plan himself, but unexpectedly, he got himself in the end because of an accident.
Just as he told Tang, this matter was done with a perfect ending. Maybe it would be a waste of money.
"I also want to be an outsider who sits in the mountains and watches tiger fights. Tang. It's much better to watch a show than to go on and perform it in person..."
"I don't believe you don't want to win this championship."
"Of course I want to. But I don't know if this will become a sweet trap.
"Don En's vague voice came from the bathroom, "We once put the same trap for Chelsea and Manchester United, which led to their performance in the first leg of the semi-finals not being good enough. So I know the danger of this trap."
After the sound of water, Tang En walked out of the bathroom. He wiped his face and continued to say to Tang: "If this is not a trap, I will not be willing to let a champion go for nothing. So now hesitation and contradictory."
"Anyway, there are only two rounds left. Grip your teeth and persevere."
Tang En did not express his opinion, and now he didn't know what to say. This sudden accident disrupted all his plans, and he could not calm his mood for a while.
"Anyway... let's talk about it after you meet Evan." Tang En put on his coat and opened the door, "Let's go and have breakfast together."
The players who had used up breakfast had left the hotel one after another and had fun. They had half a day to rest, and the team had to continue training in the afternoon. Prepare for the second leg of the mid-week Champions League semi-finals.
There was a pile of newspapers stacked on Donn's seat, and Chris Lak was sitting next to them.
"Tony, look at the newspaper." He pointed to the newspaper and said to the landed Don.
"Reading newspapers while eating is bad for the stomach." Despite this, Tang En still spread out the newspaper.
Regarding the Forests’ match yesterday, Nottingham media was full of praise, saying that Don Eun once again allowed the fans to enjoy the joy of winning.
This is not something Don En is concerned about. He took a quick look and found news about the other two league games yesterday in the newspaper.
Manchester United and Chelsea were tied by their opponents. The result was beyond the expectations of many media. Because pre-match experts analyzed that the probability of these two teams tied at the same time was the lowest, but they did not expect that they did it...
Because of the chain reaction brought by these two draws, it is naturally within the scope of media attention.
Several different newspapers list the latest league standings. The names of Chelsea, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest are marked in bold, and their points are bold and eye-catching.
From below: 79, 80, 82.
This point really makes people think a lot and have many impulses.
Almost all media believe that these two draws have allowed Nottingham Forest, who had no hope of winning the championship, to suddenly enter the ranks of championship contenders. In order to confirm this statement, they also listed the schedules for the last two rounds and three teams.
Chelsea and Manchester United will face strong opponents in the 37th round. Arsenal and Manchester City are not ordinary people. With the background of the same city derby, these two games are difficult to play.
Nottingham Forest's opponent in the 37th round is Aston Vera, who is not strong. As long as those two teams make a mistake in this round, Nottingham Forest will take the opportunity to get on the position.
With the same points as Manchester United, he ranked first in the league with the goal difference.
This will be their first league seat this season.
"...I can say that the 37th round is likely to be the key to determining the final league championship." An expert said confidently.
Seeing this, Tang En put the newspaper aside.
You can know what comes next without looking at it.
"They seem to have forgotten that Chelsea and Manchester United have one less game." He said to the two assistant coaches while dining.
"Even if they lose the 37th round, so what? In the same spot, Chelsea won, Chelsea won first; Manchester United won.
Manchester United is the first; both sides draw, Manchester United is still the first... What is the point of analyzing these? Don, you just said that there are two rounds left, just grit your teeth and persevere.
But it is because we only have two rounds that we have little hope. The space of the two rounds is too small and there is no room for us to maneuver.”
"But if both teams lost in the last round..."
"Wake up, David." Don said disdainfully. "Our opponents in the last round are not weak - Liverpool. They are now ranked fourth, putting Arsenal underneath.
What's more, even if we can defeat Liverpool at home - no matter what the price is paid - we will defeat Liverpool and get the last three-pointer, and expect both teams to lose at the same time. Or Manchester United's chances of losing Chelsea are too low.
Chelsea's last round opponent is Everton, and he still has some strength. Manchester United finally faces West Ham at home. I don't believe that with Manchester United's strength and Ferguson's experience, they will capsize at home in the last round - that is only theoretically possible.
I think it may be too unreliable to pin my hopes on theory. Do you know how complicated our situation is now?"
Chris Lack didn't say anything. He murmured for a while: "Reality is so cruel..."
After breakfast, Tang En decided to drink coffee in the hotel to admire the beauty, and waited for Evan's driver to pick him up. Tang went home alone.
Before leaving, Tang asked him: "You have made a decision to give up the league?"
Tang En shook his head: "No, I didn't say I wanted to give up. It's just that I'm still thinking about it..."
"Hesitation is not very consistent with your personality."
"I can't be a qualified head coach by relying solely on impulse and passion."
Tang nodded: "Anyway, you are the one who makes the idea, so I just need to execute it."
After saying goodbye to Tang, Tang En sat alone in the hotel lobby, watching the pedestrians outside the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze. It was not until the familiar dark red Audi appeared in his sight that he came to his senses.
This was the first time that Donnen went to the club chairman's home. He had always thought that the Dogette family, which had a seat in Nottingham, had to buy luxury houses in the most luxurious area of the city. Unexpectedly, the car pulled him out of the city directly.
Go straight to the rural fields in the northwest border areas.
The final destination is a farmhouse, which looks no different from all farmhouses in England. A three-story joint building built by stone shows that the house is somewhat historical.
If it is cloudy, this gray building will remind people of bad things like "ancient castle ghost". Fortunately, it is sunny now, with white clouds above your head, blue sky and sunny.
Then this gray stone building located in a green field looks very suitable for humans to remember.
After the car passed through the high walls and iron gates, Tang En saw a large area of vast green fields and low bushes. This scenery was refreshing, but it was absolutely unavailable in the city.
Sitting in the car, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After getting off the car, Evan Doggetty came to greet him in person...or it looked more like a walk - he was pushing a wheelchair and was sitting in the wheelchair. An old man was sitting in the wheelchair.
Although he hadn't seen him for several years, Don Ever quickly recognized the man who was sitting in a wheelchair tilted. His head and hands were always shaking constantly, and the old man was former club chairman, Mr. Niger Doggetty.
This discovery surprised him a little.
But he still remembered the words that the old man, Mr. Chairman, patted his shoulder and said after he had just crossed over.
At that time, those simple words gave him great encouragement and comfort, and strengthened his belief that he would make some achievements in this field.
After reacting, Donne greeted Niger Doggety: "Good morning, Mr. Niger Doggety."
Sitting in a wheelchair, Di Niger Dogette had no expression on his face, and seemed to have not heard Donne's words, but his fingers and head kept shaking.
After a while, a vague voice came from the depths of his throat, as if answering Tang En's greeting... It should be...
To be continued...
