Chapter 30: The atmosphere is normal

In Don't have three players standing side by side, just like students doing something wrong, ready to accept the anger of the person on the other side.

On the training ground not far away, the rest of the team that was undergoing training seemed very absent-minded.                                                 �

Tang En ignored the three people standing in front of him. He was lowering his head and fiddling with the dv machine in his hand. The small screen of the machine was equipped with the video of him being watered by Ribery just now. The sound of a group of people laughing from the recordings included, and he even recognized several people from the familiar voices.

So he turned his head and looked out the training ground outside the window.

"It's so lively, everyone is dispatched." He said.

In Wilford, no one can challenge Tony Donn's authority, even club chairman Evan Dogerty, can't do it. Now the leader can fully understand this matter as a provocation to his authority.

Ribery looked at Tang En, who was fiddling with the dv, and didn't care about the punishment he would receive next. Of course, he was not on a whim and wanted to spoof the head coach. He had his own deep meaning, but can the boss understand it?

George Wood was as wooden as ever, and it was impossible to tell whether he was afraid or not. In comparison, Eastwood seemed the most worried among these three people.

The gypsy Meow Wood glanced at Ribery again and found that everyone was calm, so he stopped looking around. Anyway, since he decided to tease the boss, he knew what possible consequences might be. And with two other people accompanying him, he didn't have to worry about anything. Even if he was sent to the reserve team, there would be three people together, and Zimbonda and Bentener who were already there, it was still lively.

Tang En fiddled with the dv for a long time.   It was so long that it made people wonder if he was studying how to delete the video above.

"Ah, I studied it for a long time and found a problem..." Tang En raised the dv machine in his hand and said to the three people standing in front of him, "From the perspective of the bystander, it was really funny just now."

He said this to Eastwood, and his expression quickly showed a "surprise". It was Ribery's hippie smile as usual. George Wood... still had a expressionless face.

Tang En looked at the three people, his gaze flashed through the three faces one after another. Finally, he stopped on the hippie Ribery.

"Frank, you came up with this idea?"

Ribery didn't answer immediately, and he asked back: "Why do you think it's me, boss?"

"George, the wooden man, would definitely not come up with such a crazy idea, Freddy..." Donn turned his head to look at Eastwood, "his expression was just like an uninformed accomplice. But you, Frank, you are too confident."

Ribery smiled and said, "I am really worthy of being the leader. It was my idea." He admitted openly.

Ribery had no intention of hiding at all, otherwise he could have splashed water from above without showing up and evacuated in the chaos. But not only did he respond, he also poked his head out to let Tang En see that he would splash water again. After the water was poured, he continued to poke his head out and look with Wood. Let Tang En catch the current situation.

Eastwood is the person in charge of the DVD filming. He was arrested because the onlookers behind him made huge laughs, exposing the target.

So, the forest first team. Except for two people sent to the reserve team and one seriously injured Pepe, all the other twenty-three people were arrested. But Tang En only called the three people in the lead to the office, and the others returned to the training ground to continue training. But everyone was uneasy. When they asked them to watch the show, they didn't say that they would be caught by the boss... Now after the training is over, they will be angry. What a terrifying ticket will the boss issue?

After confirming that it was Ribery's mastermind, Tang En did not continue to speak, and he looked down at the video on the dv again.

The laughter came from the speakers that came with it. The sound quality was not very good, but it was heard clearly enough.

The expressions of the people behind Eastwood were not seen at this moment, but they could be imagined from the laughter.

Such unbridled and crazy laughter had disappeared in Wilford for some time.

Don En thought he understood what Ribery was meant to do this.

He raised the dv in his hand: "I'll keep this thing temporarily."

This decision was not unexpected, and none of the three of them were surprised at all.

"Okay, you can go back." He waved his hand. This made people feel strange.

Eastwood couldn't wait to ask, "You...uh, don't you punish us, boss?"

Don En smiled: "You like being punished so much... Of course you have to. But after the next game. We play Besiktas away in the Champions League group stage. If you lose, the whole team will be punished."

"What about now..."

"Now?" Tang En pointed to the training ground behind him. "Go back and continue training for me. As for Frank, your punishment... I will talk about it after you recover from injury."

Ribery smiled at Tang En, saying nothing.

The three of them said goodbye to Tang En, turned around and left.

Tang En stayed to continue studying this video. He had to admit that the moment when the cold water poured on him, his earth-fire suddenly got up. When he caught the whole team, his anger was still burning. He caught the mastermind and two important accomplices in the office, and he planned to scold the office. But on the way, his excitement gradually calmed down, and his reason made him start to think about the reason why the players did this suddenly.

You know, in Wilford, he Tony Tangen is the best-known king. No one dares to provoke his authority. He doesn't think there are new players in this team that are so idiotic that they can provoke him at will. What's more, the old players involved in this matter are all old players, so he feels very strange and starts to think about why.

While watching the video repeatedly, he almost got laughed at his funny face in front of the three people on the ground. The word "drinks" can vividly describe him. So in this feeling of wanting to laugh, he suddenly understood the true meaning of this matter to him.

Think about it again when I came this morning, Chris Lack looked at him in the mirror and let him relax himself first. He understood.

Frank Ribery just wanted to make the atmosphere of the team normal, so he used slightly extreme measures. The atmosphere of the team was very relaxed in the past. The laughter and joy were always constant. These days it was too dull. This was abnormal. There were problems in many places, but the core was Tony Don himself. If he always had a stern face, the atmosphere of the team would not be good anyway.

He felt that he had been a bit too strict during this period, although he used heavy sanctions in troubled times. But now it is not a chaotic world, with a little ups and downs. There is no need to be so nervous. What should we do in normal times? If you are worried that there will be any bad voices in the media, let them spread that since the rise of Nottingham Forest, have you heard less such voices?

So he did not give any punishment to the team. Although he was teased by this group of people, he didn't care and thought it was a good thing. Because from the laughter of these players, he could tell that everyone's mood was getting better.

The atmosphere of the team is normal. Only by uniting one's heart can one defeat the outside enemies. In his opinion, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is not as terrible as internal conflicts. This is the deepest idea that Tang En, who grew up in socialist China, experienced - Chairman Mao said that fortresses are most easily broken from the inside. An empire. A dynasty is stable and must be based on internal unity.

So, if this can make the team's atmosphere normal, then he doesn't mind being a clown at all.

The players waited until the morning training ended. Tang En did not announce any punishment, as if nothing had happened.

The three people who went back told everyone that there would be no punishment at present, but that if they could not win the Champions League group stage and Besiktas, the boss said that they would punish the entire team.

This way everyone was relieved.

The players can be carefree and heartless. As the head coach, Tony Don, is not good. Internal conflicts have been resolved, and external provocations are waiting for him.

At the regular press conference in the afternoon, Donn brought Eastwood to attend.                                                                                                                       

After Tang En simply looked forward to the Champions League group stage that was about to begin, it was the reporter's turn to ask questions, and everyone couldn't wait to raise their heads as soon as possible.

Tang En frowned, and the questions in his heart became even more serious. When did these reporters be so positive?

He casually clicked a reporter who was admirable to ask questions.

As soon as the reporter opened his mouth, Tang En suddenly realized.

"Mr. Done, we didn't see Zimbonda and Bentner in the morning's training. What happened to them?"

Tang En did not rush to answer. He carefully observed the others. He found that the questions this group of people should have been asked one. Obviously, these reporters also found that the number of first-team players was not up to par, so...

Tang En did not make up any excuses to make excuses this time. Because he understood that since these reporters decided to ask this question, they obviously already knew something.

"Ah, they are in the reserve team, are there any problems?" Tang En still pretended to be stupid.

The reporter continued to ask: "Is there no problem? The two first-team players suddenly went to the reserve team..."

"Because they played better than the third team, I asked them to go to the second team. Is there any problem?" Tang En pretended to be crazy and didn't answer the questions directly.

This answer made many people present laugh and cry. But obviously the reporters came prepared this time and would not be scared away by Tang En's pretending to be crazy and stupid. Another person raised his hand: "Mr. Tang En, don't you think this is strange? They are first-team fixed players. Why do they play football in the reserve team without any reason? What's more, Bentner just had a hat trick..."

Tang En knew that he couldn't escape today, this group of damn reporters!

He interrupted the other party's question and pretended to be enlightened and said, "Oh, are you talking about the reason? The reason is that they had some conflicts during training. So I asked them to go to the reserve team to calm down. Is there any problem with this?"

The people below finally heard the answer they wanted to hear the most, and excitedly spoke in the press room.

"Since you have nothing to do with it, today's press conference ends here..." Tang En stood up and was about to leave. The Eastwood he brought to him was completely a background decoration...

Seeing that he was really leaving and he couldn't care about the procedures, several reporters raised their hands and stood up.

"Mr. Tang En, can this conflict be regarded as the impact of recent... results? Also, do you think this conflict will have any bad impact on the team?" The reporter threw out his two questions in one breath. He did not give Tang En the opportunity to interrupt him in the middle.

After hearing this question, Tang En shrugged: "How could it be? I don't think it will have any bad effects on the team. This knowledgeable journalist friend, do you dare to say that other teams don't even have a little friction during their daily training? You are all fussing about such a normal thing... Hello, you guys are all interns who have just graduated from college, right?"

Eastwood was listening to his boss's sarcasm to the media and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh in front of many media, and it was very hard to hold it in his hands.

"The key to the problem is that Nottingham Forest is not a hype of internal solidarity..."

Don Eun interrupted the reporter's question again rudely. "There is no key problem. I'm very happy to see the players showing their manly side during training, which shows that our training content is very quality and competitive. Don't you media like to guess the story behind the miraculous rise of Nottingham Forest all day long? This is the story behind it. Because our players treat daily training as a final, we will always do better than the people of other teams in real games."

Eastwood thought of the content that Tang En said when he was giving them a lecture, and then listened to the words Tang En said to the reporters now. The two completely opposite meanings he said were not blushing at all, and he was confident. He could only let him continue to laugh...

"Of course. The team rules stipulate that such things are not allowed to happen, so although they are all very men, they still have to go to the reserve team to receive punishment because they violate the team rules. The rewards and punishments are clear. It is also one of the reasons why a team can continue to move forward... You see, this is normal. So I don't understand what you are all making a fuss about."

Some reporters didn't give up and raised their hands to stand up: "So the forest team is currently in good internal atmosphere?"

Tang En glanced at him, without answering him with a long speech, only using one word: "Nonsense."

The reporter didn't expect to get such an answer, and was stunned and was a little at a loss. Tang En obviously did not intend to continue explaining to these dissatisfied reporters, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Fortunately, Eastwood took the opportunity to smooth things over and took on this question: "The atmosphere of the team is normal. We also joked with the boss this morning, and I didn't think anything abnormal is wrong. Oh..." He thought for a while, "It should be you who are abnormal, always thinking about finding some news reports on internal conflicts between the Forest Team..."

Unexpectedly, Eastwood also said such sarcastic words, which did not expect that the reporters present would.

The scene was a little messy, and Tang En hurriedly came out to make the final statement: "I don't mind what you wrote in the newspaper the next day, that's your freedom. But if you want to report the facts... Nottingham Forest is a united team and will keep winning. This is the fact. That's it. Thank you, goodbye."

He and Eastwood walked out of the hall one after another.

"Boss. The Turkish team is difficult to deal with, let alone playing at their home court..." On the way back, Eastwood expressed his concerns. "You said so much just now, don't be afraid of losing..."

Tang En glanced at him: "If you lose the ball, you will be unlucky."

"The media..."

Done grinned: "I'll deal with the media, you just think about the game, Freddy. Although I'm very grateful for helping me out at the press conference just now, I hope you don't do this next time. I'll do this, you're only responsible for serious training and competition. Do you know?"

Eastwood knew that Donn was for his own good, which was also a kind of protection. Although Nottingham Forest was always at the forefront, those who were players were rarely harassed by the media. Of course, these were all the credits of Tony Donn.

He nodded. "Okay, boss. We win, and you can scold you with confidence."
