Chapter 71 The Forest Team and England

When Tang En learned that his opponent in the first game was Nottingham Forest, he felt very uneasy. Similarly, knowing that he was going to go against his former mentor, the people in Nottingham Forest were also in a certain way.

Freddy Eastwood still remembers how he reacted when he knew that his boss had stopped working. He was pouring coffee into his cup and looking at the newspaper on the table. When he saw the title "Tony Donn and Nottingham Forest's eleven-year love ended", he forgot what he was doing and couldn't wait to read the main text. He did not react until the hot coffee overflowed from the cup and dripped down the table onto his pants. He threw away the empty coffee pot, looked down at the wet patch of pants and the mess on the table, and his mood was like all this, messy.

He could not believe or accept the fact. The man who once smiled and said to himself, "You will become a legendary shooter, I will become a legendary coach" left the position he had held for eleven years.

Fortunately, he is no longer the person who needs a boss to help him overcome difficulties when encountering setbacks. He has his own will. He lives for himself, not for someone.

He accepted this fact faster, only a day later.

But his former teammates are not in a good condition.

Gareth Bale heard the news during her vacation, but she planned her trip to Hawaii with her girlfriend and kept complaining, saying that he didn't love him at all and was absent-minded when she went out to play. Her girlfriend also asked him whether she loved Tony Don or herself. Finally, her girlfriend proposed to break up with Bell and flew back to the UK alone. She stayed in Hawaii for another day before she went home.

After the team started training, Bale's condition was also worrying. After not seeing the cool boss wearing sunglasses on the side of the training ground, he didn't know what to do. He has always regarded Don Eun as his second father, and now his father has left and his backbone has left. He has no idea what to do next. His father, his agent, asked about his plans, but he just shook his head. Last season, Don Eun hosted the renewal of new contracts for most of the main players in the team. They improved their treatment and updated the contract years. Now Bale and the club have three years of contract. Should they leave the team before the contract expires, or should they stay here?

When he decided to stay, it was already July. He had feelings for his boss, but he also had feelings for Nottingham Forest. As a professional player, he had to figure out one thing - he was playing football for himself, not for a coach. Although this is a bit ruthless, this is the fact.

Pepe's reaction was quite strong among the players. The day after Don En left. After he learned the news, he notified his agent Mendes and told him clearly that if Don En wanted to coach at other clubs, he would follow him. Suddenly, he forgot his hatred for Ribery. Perhaps he hated Ribery not because he betrayed the team. But because he betrayed the leader.

Now that the boss has gone to coach the England national team, Pepe cannot follow him. He is very disappointed with the current Nottingham Forest. If there is a suitable opportunity, he will definitely choose to leave. Now he is also the player with the most "scandals". Many clubs are interested in introducing this world-class central defender. However, Martin O'Neal does not want to let the Portuguese international leave.

Fortunately, Don En did not leave silently and didn't even say hello. All the Nottingham Forest players received postcards from Don En from Brazil. The postcard did not say the reason why he chose not to renew his contract, nor did he ask the players to do whatever they wanted, except greetings or apologizing - sorry that he did not notify them as soon as possible and let them be kept in the dark.

Tang En did not say that there was something unspeakable about his doing this. He could not ask everyone to forgive him and understand him. This is not something he could do. If any of the players still resent him after seeing this postcard, he could only spread his hands. He was still like before. He was unwilling to let others easily enter their inner world, and unwilling to show others the other side of being strong and free. Even if he left, he wanted to give others a free and easy back.

After returning to the public eye, he never mentioned Nottingham Forest on any occasion. When a reporter asked about Nottingham Forest, he would choose to remain silent or talk about him. Some people think this is indifferent, so people like Bill are angry. They are full of resentment towards Don Eun. But in fact, this is just a clumsy way to hide their emotions. He doesn't want the players to miss him. .   Because that is not conducive to the work of the new coach, Nottingham Forest should not be "Tony Donn's Nottingham Forest".    Whether this is wishful thinking or not, he thought so when he was in a heart attack.   A mature team can maintain a high level even if the head coach changes, so that can be called a "big family", such as Barcelona.   If you rely solely on yourself, Nottingham Forest will never get rid of the despicable title of "nova" in your life.

He used silence to alienate the Nottingham Forest, although he often returned to the city court in his dreams and returned to the moment when tens of thousands of people shouted his name. But when he was awake, his indifference was disgusting.

Not everyone understands this man.

Des Walker suddenly thought of something interesting: "Tony, when you return to Nottingham Forest. Have you ever thought about what kind of treatment you will receive?"

Tang En curled his lips: "I don't have time to think about that now."

He didn't lie, now he has to consider that he is about to face twenty-three people.

Arsenal's Kearney training base was requisitioned for one day as a training base in England. Donne will meet his players for the first time here.

New England players are changing training clothes in the locker room, while talking about what their new head coach is.

Tony Donnn's roster doesn't even have a former Nottingham Forest player, and it's completely on the edge. These people don't know much about Donnn than those tabloid reporters, so there are a lot of rumors about this personality coach.

"Hey, I heard Ashley Young say that Tony Tangen is a vengeful person. Maybe you don't know when you did something and offended him, but he will definitely find a chance to get back." The person who said this was Michael Johnson, who had played for Manchester City, so he could know what Ashley Young thinks of Tangen.

"I still need to hear that? All England knows what kind of coach he is."

"To be honest, I hated him before... I didn't expect that I would be his player now..."

"Ha, Joe. Anyway, it's better to just make him the Chelsea head coach?"

"You think he hates it? But I think he is great. A team like Nottingham Forest can win so many championships under his leadership... It's not something that can be cursed by others, right?" Since some people hate him, naturally some people like him.

Tony Don't have a clear contradictory aspect even in the national team.

"I heard that he would swear loudly in the locker room. I don't like being scolded anyway."

"Ferguson will do it, too. I don't think the Manchester United people are disgusted." The speaker glanced at Frazier Campbell.

When Campbell talked about Manchester United, he had to say a few words: "Although the Jazz has a little irritable temper, everyone thinks it's normal. He has so many honors, what's the temper almost? Anyway, I don't think it's bad, as long as you've made no mistakes, he won't scold you. I don't know if Coach Tang En is the same... It's a pity that we don't have a Forest team here."

"Ha, I'll be competing with them the day after tomorrow. How could their people appear here?"

"Stop guessing, guys." Ashley Cole, the oldest person here, coughed, "If we don't go out again, I promise we will be scolded to death." He reminded everyone to pay attention to time. If nothing unexpected happens, he will wear the captain's armband in this exhibition match. He entered the role early.

None of the people in the land expressed doubts about this after hearing this. Some of them shrank their necks and began to speed up the change of clothes.

Ashley Cole was the first player to run out of the locker room and enter the training ground. As he expected, he saw the entire coaching staff on the sidelines, including the legendary Tony Donn.

Tang En wore sunglasses and stood on the sunny green field, standout among the crowd, making him see at a glance.

When he saw Ashley Cole running out and looking here, the corners of his mouth curled up. Ashley Cole was not sure if the person was laughing because he couldn't see the person's eyes.

"They must have changed their training suits in the locker room while discussing what kind of person their new head coach is. Otherwise, the first person would not have come out until now." Des Walker was joking with Donn next to him.

Tang En raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

This action made Ashley Cole feel lucky - fortunately he came out first, and if he was late, he believed that this devil coach would not let them go easily.

In fact, he didn't know when he would be late, because the time was not fixed when the national team was training.

Tang En kept looking at the watch, and more and more players ran out of the locker room and stepped onto the training ground. After seeing Tang En's move, they all accelerated their pace.

When the last player ran onto the training ground, Tang En finally put his arm down. Then he grinned at the players standing in front of him, revealing his white teeth.

"It's great. You all appeared just before the time came." He said this with a smile, but someone felt a chill in his back. What would happen if they didn't arrive on time?

"Introduce yourself. Tony Donne. Your head coaches for the next two years - if nothing unexpected happens."

Some players lowered their heads and laughed. They all knew what Tang En meant. Poor record or running a train in his mouth would cause him to be dismissed.

"I know you talked about me in the locker room just now, and I don't mind you talking about what kind of person I am in private. Actually, I'm easy to get along with, really." Speaking of this, Tang En took off his sunglasses and gave everyone a smile that was brighter than the sun.

This time, no one laughed. It seems that due to too many rumors outside, everyone is still a little cautious about the head coach.

However, Tang En did not force these people to accept him. Anyway, they are all marginal figures, and whether they can become pillars of the England team in the future needs to be observed.

"No matter what you think in your heart now, in short, I have become your head coach. The day after tomorrow game is just an exhibition game for your opponents to celebrate their new stadium, but I hope you know one thing - for you, it is not an irrelevant exhibition game. You should know why I didn't call the main players of the national team this time, right?" Tang En stood in front of the players and began to show his verbal skills to these strange players for the first time.

"Let me tell you. You are the so-called marginal figures of the national team. Some of you are very capable, but there is no chance to go up to the next level. What does it feel to watch England lose to Brazil at home? Have you ever thought that if you are there, the tragedy will be avoided? Now the opportunity is here. I am a new coach. I know nothing about England before and don't want to know anything. My eyes are looking forward, otherwise why don't they grow on the back of the head? The day after tomorrow is this opportunity. Good performance, you will have your status in my future England team. I don't mind building a team of big stars in England, as long as you really have the ability. You don't have to worry about what the media says, your job is very simple. It's just play the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, Tang En waved his hand, "Go and warm up, don't get hurt."

After listening to the head coach's promise, some people rekindled hope and felt full of motivation. But more people were skeptical. In particular, Don Ng actually said, "I don't mind building an English team that even a big star doesn't have." Such words are simply hypocritical. Who has the ability to do this? That's against all England, not only the media, but also the FA and fans cannot allow such willful behavior. Even if he is Tony. So what about Don Ng? If he goes against the whole world, he will definitely die miserably.

While warming up for a run, a group of people gathered together and muttered in a low voice: "Do you want to make a bet? I don't think Coach Tangen can do it for a long time."

"Look at his big mouth, it's weird that he is so capable. I won't bet with you."

"Sure enough, he is arrogant... what he said outside is really right."

"Actually, I always thought that Mr. Donn was a miracle to be able to survive in England... He was too different from an Englishman."

"What's there to be surprised about? What era is this."

"Ahem. He is watching us..."

Donn was observing the players, and he knew that it was not easy to completely conquer this team and become the master of England. Let’s lay the foundation with a victory first.

Walker said from the side, "You really do it?"

"What?"

“Nottingham Forest.”

Donn turned his head and glanced at Walker.

"After all, I've been there for eleven years?" Walker continued to ask.

Tang En shrugged: "It's very simple. I used to stand with them, but now I'm standing opposite them."

"I suddenly became a little curious..." Walker said to the players who were warming up. "Will you roar at them in the locker room before the game and ask them to tear the Nottingham Forest into pieces. You always call your opponent that."

Tang En's brow jumped.

After a while, he murmured: "It's just a friendly match..."

After leaving Nottingham Forest for a month and twenty-seven days, he is finally going back. But this time, he is as an opponent. How will the locals there welcome him? He will not put on the red carpet and shout "Long live His Majesty the King". He brought the team and fans out with one hand. He knows them too well.

Treating comrades as warm as the spring breeze, and treating enemies as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
