Chapter 77: First Win

When England scored a goal that took the lead by luck, a huge boo sounded in the stands at the Crimson Stadium, which surprised the English players who were celebrating. It is logical that the national team will not be treated like this when playing at any domestic stadium. Why are they booed?

They made a mistake. It was not them who were booed, but the one who sat on the coach's seat, crossed his legs, expressionless... No, it can be said that Tony Donn was stern.

In fact, Bill knew why Don was indifferent to the fact that England was leading. After all, he was once the closest fan to Don, and he knew some of Don't know much about Don't want to further stimulate the majority of Nottingham Forest fans, nor did he want to stimulate Nottingham Forest players.

But because of this, Bill is even more angry.

He was angry at Tang En's behavior.

You have left, why do you still pretend to be good in front of us? Why can't you be a real bad guy? Let us vent our dissatisfaction and anger? You have left, why are you afraid of offending us? You have offended you very deeply, do you know? Tony! Do you still hope to return to the Nottingham Forest coaching seat one day? If you want to come back, then why did you leave us? We fans who follow you are in your eyes... No, what is it in your heart? Can you just throw away the toys you pick up?

Sorry, Tony. We are living people, and we have our own emotions. You let us have fun, but no amount of joy can compensate for the harm you caused to us this time. When you decide not to renew your contract and have fun in Brazil, have you ever known how we feel?

The sky is falling!

Bill led his companions in the stands to "dedicate" all the crazy booing to the man who once made them cheer and worship.

Amid the booing, Tang En lowered his head gently and looked at his toes intent.

Des Walker next to him looked at him with some concern. He seemed to be afraid that he would not be able to stand such stimulation.

This man is really against the whole world... In the past, there were fans of Nottingham Forest who supported him unconditionally. What about the future? When his performance was a little unsatisfactory, Walker could imagine that the media would definitely criticize him like a storm. Who else could support him at that time?

"Don't worry about me, Des. I'm just thinking about whether it's time to change to a new pair of shoes." Tang En, who lowered his head, suddenly said. Amid the booing in the sky, his voice was still clear.

Walker withdrew his gaze and looked at the court.

"Martin O'Neal will definitely not be willing to keep this result until the end of the game. He will make frequent substitutions next. Let's wait and see what adjustments he makes. Then decide how we adjust."

Tang En said this, Walker nodded, and he agreed to such an arrangement.

"Before here, let the team defend and fight back."

Done gave Walker the task he told the team the latest instructions, instead of going out and conveying it to the team himself. Obviously he was still a little concerned about the booing.

After booing for a while, the fans were tired and they focused again on the game.

Martin O'Neal is indeed very dissatisfied with this result. He feels that even if he is on the bench, the Nottingham Forest is stronger than the England third team of Donn. There is no reason to lose to such a team at home in his own home court.

At the same time, he also knew that Evan Dogerty on the rostrum would not want Nottingham Forest to lose, especially to Tony Donne, in the game celebrating the opening of the new stadium. He must win this game.

Although those players on the court are stronger than those on the bench, O'Neal decided to replace them all.

Pepe's foul suddenly made an idea come to his mind. If this idea was in normal times, he would only laugh it off. But today, in such a game, in such an environment, when facing such an opponent, he had to seriously consider whether those old players in Nottingham Forest are loyal to the Forests or Tony Don? If Tony Don had accepted the invitation from Manchester United, how many of these people would follow their mentors to Old Trafford from here?

This idea was like a poisonous snake biting his reason. Although he knew it was ridiculous, he was powerless to stop the idea from spreading.

He decided to replace those players who are suspected of "co-op" even if their level is superb.

Who will he rely on next?

Those substitutes, those young people drawn from the youth team. They don’t have much to do with Donn. They are eager to play and prove their abilities. They have the fighting spirit and desire to fight and reason than the main players. Such Nottingham Forest is the Nottingham Forest that Martin O’Neal needs.

Pepe was replaced by the first one. When he left the court, he even received booing from the fans, but he still raised his hands to applaud the stands. Tang En quietly watched him perform his farewell ceremony in this way, feeling sad inside. But no expression on his face was visible.

The person who replaced him was Cameroonian Nkuru. He was 1.88 meters tall and could play right back or center back.

Then Gareth Bell was replaced by Joe Matok.

A minute later, Aaron Mitchel also got out of the game. The man who replaced him was Chilean striker Nicklas Milan.

Then, Rafinia was replaced by John Bostock, and O'Neal changed the formation. From 442 to a more aggressive 352.

For those fans who want to see the performances of the Earth Stars they are familiar with, such substitutions must not be satisfied. But O'Neal won't pay attention to what the fans think at this time. He doesn't want to lose to Tony Don, especially as the new head coach of Nottingham Forest.

Not long after O'Neal's substitution, Don't have a replacement. O'Neal believes that he does not lack players with fighting spirit and reason, but Tony Don't have a shortage of players. Every player he has replaced him will call him to the side and pat their shoulders and suggest that as long as he performs well, he may be selected for the next national team roster. At that time, it was not such a friendly match, but a real 2016 European Spanish Cup qualifier.

Of course these players know what that means, and there is no reason not to fight hard in this game. When the national team gathers next time, the league has only started for a month. It is difficult to rely on the outstanding state in the league to impress the head coach of the national team. The most convenient and fastest way is to perform well in this game. The national team head coach's eyelids are low and let him see his abilities clearly.

Perhaps some of them are not interested in this head coach who has many rumors outside. But as professional players, they all know one fact-regardless of what you think of this coach, he is your boss now, and he decides your fate in the national team. If you still want to play football in the national team, you have to please him.

O'Neal almost replaced all the starting lineups, and Tang En was almost the same.

Both sides are very fighting spirit, and when they collide, no one can do anything to each other.

By the last five minutes, O'Neal was always standing on the sidelines and staring at the stadium anxiously. He no longer had the luxury of "winning". He just hoped that the team could equalize the score and let himself "not lose".

But such a wish was not satisfied. Tang En used his decisive technique to replace all the main players, Nottingham Forest lacked experience. Facing such England, there was no way out. In the end, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game. It was also announced that Tony Tang En won the first game in coaching the national team.

The commentator was not very passionate when announcing this result, because the ending he hoped most did not appear - Tony Donn was defeated.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, booed again over the Crimson Field. Amid such booed, Tony Donn rose up and walked towards O'Neal, and his face still showed no joy because he won the ball.

"What a pity, you could have won." Don said after holding O'Neal's hand. If O'Neal had not replaced so many main players in one breath, the Forest could really equalize the score or even overtake. At least after Bale was out of the field. The Forest suddenly lost the frontcourt positioning penalty kicker, and England could foul tactics in dangerous areas without worrying about being blocked by the Welshman with one sword.

O'Neal might know what Don Eun was referring to, or he didn't know. Anyway, he didn't answer, just smiled, and was a little reluctant. Then he let go, turned and walked away.

Tang En looked up at the stands, and some people were leaving the stage. Some were still booing him. He didn't know what the people who booed him would think, but he didn't want to retaliately put some middle fingers. That was boring. A couple would be grateful for a hundred days. After all, he was worshipped by these people for a whole decade. It was nothing to be booed by them today.

After winning the ball, Don En found that he suddenly became much more open-minded and in a good mood. He no longer had to argue with the booing. And he knew that he had disturbed Evan Dogette's celebration, his little revenge was satisfied, and there was no need to continue to be mean.

However, the journalists were very dissatisfied. At the press conference, Tang En did not show his big mouth at all. He spoke like boiled water, except for polite words. Originally, the former Forest head coach returned to Nottingham, which was a very worthy of hype, but under Tang En's uncooperative attitude, nothing interesting was squeezed out.

The reporters tried their best, but they could not take out any valuable words from Tang En's closed mouth.

A reporter asked Tang En to evaluate his opponent's performance in this game. This was a very normal question, but in fact the reporter's plan was to let Tang En talk about Nottingham Forest.

Tang En was not fooled. He simply said: "They are very strong, and it is a bit unlucky for them to not win." Then he might feel that saying this is a bit unfair to the team he is coaching, so he added: "Of course, we perform better. Victory should belong to the team that performs better."

This is the first time he mentioned Nottingham Forest in front of the media. Although it was just to answer a very ordinary question, the reporters were encouraged. Another person stood up and asked: "George Wood was in a bad state during the World Cup, and you defended him. So how do you think he performed in this game?"

Donn looked at the reporter, glanced at Martin O'Neal, sitting next to him. He laughed: "You should ask Mr. Martin O'Neal, this reporter. George Wood was his player in today's game."

O'Neal also felt a little embarrassed. He was the current head coach of Nottingham Forest sitting here, but the reporters would rather ask Tony, the resigned person.

The reporter looked at O'Neal and sat down again. This made O'Neal very angry, but his cultivation was better than Tang En, and he forced the fire in his heart.

Next, whenever a reporter stood up and asked Donn about Nottingham Forest, he would all push him to O'Neal. O'Neal is really well cultivated. If those reporters ask him again, he would also answer patiently with a smile, without any displeasure in it.

After the press conference, Don Eun grabbed O'Neal and shook hands with him again. He pulled him as a shield for a long time, Don Eun was also a little sad.

"Sorry, Martin." Don apologized to O'Neal.

O'Neal and Donn are not bad. So he can't snort coldly like McLaren and then leave. He can only smile bitterly: "You are such a person, and you will encounter this situation with you. I've been mentally prepared for a long time."

Is this a joke?

Tang En grinned and laughed as if he was self-deprecating.                                                      

After O'Neal got in touch with Evan Dogette, he vaguely guessed why Don had decided not to renew his contract. Even he himself was not sure how long he could still work in this team. He smiled and said, "I'll do my best, Tony. If you can't let it go, you might as well come back and do it yourself."

Tang En laughed this time, said nothing, reached out and patted O'Neal on the shoulder twice, turned around and left.

The news that Nottingham Forest lost to England at the Crimson Stadium was not a big deal. Except for some Forest fans who were more determined to hate Done because of this defeat, the results of the warm-up match were nothing to be astonished.   The only thing that interested people was Tony Done returned to Nottingham’s treatment. The scenes and reports of him booing on the court appeared repeatedly in various media for several days, which sparked discussions.   The people who hated Tony Done were very happy to see that even his most loyal supporters left him.   The people who liked him were indignant about Done’s experience, but... When Nottingham Forest fans all started to turn against him, how many people would really be indignant about his fate?

Tang En doesn't care about these things. After the team is over, the league will be about to start again with half a month left. The coaching team has been formed and there will be no national team competitions this month. Tang En can take this opportunity to rest. When the league starts, he will have to be busy running around like a dog. Go to watch the game.

At this moment, he saw this message in the Sun:

Pepe personally admitted that he planned to leave Nottingham Forest!

"...Since he was brought from Portugal to Nottingham Forest in 2005-06, Brazilian Pepe has become the core and pillar of the team's defense. No matter who his partner is, he is the main central defender under Don't be able to play. Now, ten years have passed, and Pepe is finally tired of everything in Nottingham Forest. When he was interviewed by our reporter, he personally admitted that he planned to leave the team... After selling Ves Morgan, Thiago Mendes, Kompany, and Leiden Barnes one after another, he was the first main player, or even the core player to decide to leave the Forest team... We don't know what kind of impact his statement will bring to Forest Club, please pay attention to our follow-up reports..."

Tang En looked at the photo of Pepe in the newspaper and was speechless.
Chapter completed!
