Chapter 49: The league reopens

England's elimination made the British media on the next day feel sad and messy.

Some people angrily accused McLaren of ruining the best England in history - in the eyes of the English, their team is the strongest in history at any time.

Some lament the arrival of the end of the world.

Others say that the European Cup is incomplete without England, because Britain is the birthplace of modern football.

Another actor calmly analyzed the reasons for this failure, analyzed it and finally came to the conclusion that our players had no problems, and McLaren had the problem, so they asked the FA to start preparing to choose the new coach.

Don Eun didn't go to join in the fun. He finished what he wanted to say before the game. Now he said it was just copying and pasting it, and there was no new idea. McLaren had many problems in selecting people and tactical arrangements. He was born to be an assistant coach, not a head coach. Don Eun had said this countless times since McLaren came on stage, but no one listened to it. Now the group of people in England have finally been retribution, and Don Eun was too lazy to take advantage of the situation.

The two weeks of no league did not make Don En bored because a lot of things happened in the middle. Mourinho left, and he impulsively scolded Abramovich and offended Chelsea club... I wonder if he would feel like "this is a new season" when the league starts again?

Tang has returned, two days later than expected to come back. Tang said that because of Tang Jing, he was taken to have dinner with her father and played in China for another day, which wasted time. Hearing this, Tang En really wanted to tease Tang and even saw the other party’s parents. But he still didn’t say it out.

Tang brought a gift to Xianya with a handkerchief, and the gift she brought to Tang En was a box of CDs.

Tang En found it strange.

"All videos of that talent show.  including those played on the TV and those that were not played on the ground.   " Tang explained.

Tang En was even more surprised: "I didn't ask you to bring these things back, I'm not very interested in that talent show..."

Tang interrupted him: "Just watch it when you are bored and see what a football draft would look like."

Tang En thought how could it be bored? With Xianya by her side, she would always find something to do.

Within two days after he thought about this, Xianya packed up and said goodbye.

Two days after England lost next summer, Shania also left Nottingham. Christmas is approaching and her busiest moment of the year has begun.

This is not the first time that Tang En and Shania have parted. Since Shania became a first-line supermodel, they have never spent Christmas together. Every Christmas, Tang En would send a large chinchilla doll to Shania far away as a Christmas gift, and never stopped. The two chatted on the phone, even if they had spent Christmas together.

But this time, when Shania was packing her luggage in her room, Tang En stood at the door and looked at her busy back.

"There will be very busy next year, right? Walking on catwalks, shooting advertisements, endorsements... and making movies."

"Well. Good days are over." Shania stretched, then she suddenly turned around and looked at Tang En. "Don't you bear to leave, Uncle Tony?"

Tang En was a little helpless when asked this question. He hmmed for a long time before saying, "You're leaving... no one will help me cook."

Shania smiled: "It's a bad excuse.  The food I cook is not delicious."

"Actually... it's okay if you're used to eating." Tang En scratched his head.

Shania didn't say anything anymore. She smiled and continued to pack up her things.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up. No matter where she goes, she only needs to bring some clothes and small toys, and she can hold all of them in a small suitcase. However, Xianya always thinks that the clothes are not neat enough and there will be wrinkles that should not be there, so she put them in and took them out, spread them out and folded them again. This has delayed some time.

Until they all heard the sound of car horns coming from outside.

"It's Mr. Fasar." Shania walked to the bed, opened the curtains, and looked down.

"Go away quickly, don't miss the plane." Tang En made way open to the door.

Shania lifted her suitcase and walked to Tang En. Tang En took it from her hands. “I’ll send you out.”

Shania did not refuse and followed Tang En downstairs.

"When will it be the next time I come back?" Standing in front of the gate, Tang En asked Xianya who was criticizing her coat.

"Next March," said Shania. According to the work schedule arranged by her agent Fasal, she will only have a period of rest in March, ten days, and then go to Los Angeles, USA to prepare for a movie. Although there are only a few shots and no line, because she wants to develop here, it is necessary to stay longer. She needs to enter that circle a little. At that time, Tom Cruise and Chris Gronia will introduce more people to her, in Hollywood. Multiple friends are equivalent to having more paths.

After dressing, Shania stood at the door. She did not open the door, but turned around and looked at Tang En.

"Can you hug me, Uncle Tony? Just treat it as if you are leaving..." She opened her arms, and before she could finish her words, Tang En hugged her.

"Goodbye, Shania."

"Goodbye, Uncle Tony."

The two separated, Tang En opened the door and walked out with the box first. Fasar came forward to take the suitcase and put it in the trunk of the car. Shania followed her out, opened the car door and went in.

"Goodbye again, Uncle Tony." She sat in the car and waved to Don En.

Done waved to her too, and then he turned around and whispered to Fasar: "Please, Mr. Fasar."

Fasar smiled: "Please rest assured, Mr. Tang En."

The two shook hands and said goodbye. Don Eun stood by the street and watched the car that Sinia was riding disappeared around the corner before returning home.

Just as he was about to enter the door, he heard the door of the house next to him ring, and Tang pushed the door out.

"Shania is gone?"

"You've been...why don't you come out and say some parting?"

Tang shook his head: "Forget it, I'll come out... it's not good."

Tang En glared at him. The Tang now is too far from the Tang he met from his memory when he traveled through time...

I've become much cheerful...

He decided to take revenge. “You and Tang Jing…”

"By the way, I have something to do." Tang retreated and closed the door without waiting for Tang En to say it.

"Hey!" Tang En stood outside alone and rolled his eyes.

When Shania left, Tang En sometimes felt a little lonely. But this was only a feeling that only came back home. After Tang returned home from the training base, he opened the door and saw the empty room. No one jumped out and smiled and told him that he would have a delicious meal tonight. He was a little uncomfortable at first.

No wonder he was the time that Shaniya and Tang En stayed alone for the longest time. He was used to the days when someone was waiting for him every day. He could not return to his previous single life for a while.

There were several times when he and Tang opened their own doors separately. Tang went in, and Tang En stood in the door in a daze. Because it was pitch black inside and there was no one, he thought he had opened the wrong door.

In the first few days, this symptoms were very frequent and prominent. Later, as time passed, it gradually improved. Sometimes he would go to Kenny Burns' bar to solve dinner and drink some wine to chat. Of course, Tang still didn't drink alcohol, only drink water. Sometimes, they went to a fast food restaurant on the way home to buy some takeout. Sometimes, when they were in a good mood and had plenty of time, they chose to go home to make it themselves.

In fact, the bachelor is used to it...it is still easy to adapt to it again.

Just two days after Shania left, Forests also ushered in a new round of league games. On November 24, Nottingham Forest challenged Arsenal away.

Since they had just played in the national team, a large number of players in both teams were exhausted and were excluded from the starting list or even the big list.

For example, Beckham did not appear in the starting lineup.

England was eliminated, which made him feel less emotional and his condition seemed to be affected. Donne was worried that Beckham's foot injury would relapse, so he did not let him start.

The starter of Beckham was also selected for England. But Lennon was sitting on the bench for 90 minutes. Ribery did not appear in the starting lineup on the left. In order to consider the more intensive schedule, Don Ng had to allow some more important players to get a break at this time, even if doing so would affect the team's current performance.

George Wood started and formed the middle lane with Van der Fate. Bentner started again on the front line and partnered with Eastwood. There was no big change in other positions.

Arsenal has set up the strongest lineup that can be set up in his home court, except for injuries that cannot be played.

Wenger doesn't want to lose to Forest at home, and now Arsenal is temporarily ranked first. But Manchester United scored the same points as them. If they lose to Forest, they will temporarily lose in the league championship competition.

Don En also doesn't want to lose to Arsenal. The lineup he arranged on the away game is still the Forest's best defensive counterattack. He just needs to stabilize the defense and then wait for an opportunity to sneak a goal to drag the game into their most familiar rhythm.

But how can everything be as good as you wish and luck is always so good?

In the first fourteen minutes of the game, Arsenal scored the first goal, and Fabregas's long shot pierced the goal guarded by Van der Sar.

After the start of this season, the performance of several young men in the wealthy teams is shocking.

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer the "Mavericks" who only knew how to dodge and play tricks. This season, Ferguson used him as Manchester United's offensive core and even sacrificed Rooney in order to make him burst out with greater energy. Sure enough... the top scorer list in the league is not any forward in the front, but the midfielder.

Liverpool's newly introduced Spanish "golden boy" Torres this season is not as uncomfortable as he is in the Premier League. He can score goals when he comes or scores consecutive goals. Now he ranks second in the league scorer list.

As for Arsenal, Henry's departure from Barcelona before the season surprised many people and made them not optimistic about Arsenal's prospects for the new season. Unexpectedly, when people questioned Arsenal's ability to strike, their midfielder Fabregas stood up. The young man who was staring at Wood in the Youth FA Cup and suffered a lot has become fully mature. He can not only rely on his own passes to create opportunities for the team's offense, but also rely on his own shot to attack the team.

Just like this game. Donn's defenders defended Adebayo, and George Wood's misplaced Fabregas found an opportunity to shoot. The football flew straight into the upper corner of the goal. Van der Sar tried his best but still couldn't stop Arsenal from leading.

This forced Donne to attack from Arsenal because Arsenal is different from other opponents. If Arsenal is allowed to score this goal advantage, it is thankless for the Forests to continue to insist on defensive counterattacks - Arsenal may not score any more goals, but in order to cope with their offense, Forests needs to sacrifice their offense. The final result is that Forests are so unwilling to lose the game.

Don Eun chose to fight Arsenal. Of course he knew what this decision meant, but Don Eun did not think that if he played against Arsenal with his team's offensive strength, he would definitely lose.

So, the next game will be a blessing for the fans...

The two sides fought against each other at the Emirates Stadium, and they were fighting back and forth. The attack was very lively.

Arsenal is a team that is good at attacking. They have rich and diverse offensive routines, and their attacks are as smooth as the heart. The tacit cooperation between several people makes people pleasing to the eye and can be called "art football".

The Nottingham Forest's offense is not as artistic as Arsenal. It doesn't pay much attention to the exquisite cooperation between several people. They pay more attention to speed and directness and are more aggressive. Speed ​​and strength are important elements that trigger the audience's passion. Petrov and Lennon rely on speed to force breakthroughs on both sides to create a huge wave of shouting in the stands every time. Whether it is cheering or booing, it sounds quite lively.

To sum up, Arsenal's offense is full of beauty and refreshing. The Forest's offense lacks exquisite and delicate beauty, but it is quite grand. This has a lot to do with the personal style of the head coaches of the two teams.

"Professor" Wenger is a gentle person who is most of the time. Even if he loses his temper, he just shuts the door and doesn't eat. Tang En is different. The team he trains are naturally a bit arrogant.

In the 37th minute, Nottingham Forest's offense made unremitting efforts. Finally, he knocked on Arsenal's goal.

Bentner's header was fast and fierce. Amunia couldn't react in time and could only block the football with her chest, without having time to hold it. At that time, there was a mess in front of Arsenal's goal, and it was impossible to see anything from outside. The football that popped up was followed by Eastwood and stabbed it first, and the football slowly rolled in the chaos...

The two sides tied, and the score continued until the midfield.

During the intermission, Tang En adjusted a little, so he allowed Van der Fate's position to be more free.

The second half of the game began. The two teams did not make any personnel adjustments. Even the tactical arrangements were not changed. It seems that Wenger made up his mind to use Arsenal's best offense to defeat Nottingham Forest at his home court.

Tony Donn was thinking that way. He glanced at Wenger and grinned at him.

In the 59th minute of the game, Arsenal went to lead again. The goal this time was their captain William Galas. He headed the ball with a corner kick.

Five minutes later, Arsenal scored the third goal. The person who scored this time was Eduardo da Silva, who had just helped the team defeat England in the last game of the European Cup qualifiers. Wenger replaced him three minutes ago and he scored the goal.
To be continued...
