Chapter 6 My legend is still here (Part 2)(1/2)
Chapter 6: My legend still exists here (Part 2)
In fact, the game is not exciting, not at all. McCallister is the head coach who has just joined the team this summer, and he is not a good coach. The new tactics designed for the Forest team are still in the running-in test stage - this cannot be blamed entirely. Evan Dogette has not collected the lineup he wants, so his tactical training has never been carried out normally.
Speaking of Nottingham Forest's new coach Gary McCaulist, Done has a lot of relationship with him. When Done first became the head coach and coached Nottingham Forest, it was in January 2003. At that time, Forest was just eliminated by West Ham United in the FA Cup. Done made a big fuss at the post-match press conference, criticizing the referee and the FA, so he was suspended. In the next League One (now the Championship) league, Forests challenged Coventry away, and the head coach of Coventry was this guy.
At that time, Donn was still an absolute rookie and was sent to the stands. McCallister was not much better. He was both a head coach and a player on the court. In that game, he finally relied on McCallister's free kick, and Coventry tied Nottingham Forest at home. The two men's first and only confrontation was not decided.
Later, Don En didn't care about this opponent who met once. McCallister has been in the low-level league for many years and has coached the Premier League for a short time, but has never achieved any good results. His most brilliant result was that he led the Wolves back to the Premier League last season, and then was poached by Evan Dogerty to the Forest.
After more than ten years of training, his coaching level has improved a lot compared to when he first played against Tang En, but it is not enough to manage Nottingham Forest...
Nottingham Forest does not have a mature tactic, and its performance on the court is more about relying on individuals rather than overall. The offense is a bit like playing wherever it thinks, and it is out of order. Even if the ball possession rate is high, it is impossible to make people feel at ease. On the contrary, Everton has several offensives threatened the Forest's goal. Moyes, who has been in operation for 20 years, is indeed extraordinary. If Everton had not had financial resources, he might have achieved great success...
Tang En shook his head and found that he was distracted again. Why was he still thinking about tactics? It seems that he has not completely gotten rid of his identity as a head coach. Occupational disease, occupational disease.
If someone else laughed at American Evan Dogette for not understanding football, he would definitely not be convinced. Although he could not be as professional as a head coach, he could also see that the game being played is boring.
I didn't get any advantage in my team, but I had to worry about the opponent's counterattack. This is the result of McCallist's practice for more than a month...
"A plate of loose sand..." Evan Dogette, who was sitting on the rostrum, hummed.
Alan Adams, who was sitting next to him, kept silent.
In front of the two of them, there was the Robin Hood stand where the most hardcore fans of the Forest team gathered. As usual, there were slogans of criticism and insults Evan Dogerty and Allen Adams.
"Get back to the United States and eat shit!"
"This is not a team for both of you, this is a team for all of us!"
"fuck_you! Evan Dogette Allen Adams!"
"You two gay guys!"
...
Of course, the most slogans are like this: "Give me Tony back!" "We want Tony!!" "No one can replace Tony. Done!"
Although four years have passed and Nottingham Forest has replaced countless head coaches, fans here still cannot forget Tony Donne. Even. Every time they change a head coach, they can only miss the former boss, now the England head coach.
At the eleventh minute of the game, the fixed program of Crimson Field began. The home fans stood up from their seats and then faced the rostrum. There was no conductor or early rehearsal, and the chorus began with a tacit understanding:
"Tony Don won the championship for us, but he left. Evan Dogette only knows how to sell people for money, and he still keeps it. Evan is a big fool! Big fool! Oh la la! If you agree, stamp your feet with me!"
Rumbled, a sound of stomping feet spread throughout the court, and the stands on the crimson court seemed to be shaking, like a small earthquake.
"Evan is a big fool!!"
When Tang En heard such explicit swear words, he felt amused and laughed. In fact, if you have any dissatisfaction with Evan Dogerty and Alan Adams, it has long disappeared in the past four years. They are just disagreeing with ideas. The so-called different ways and unconspiring with each other is not considered a personal grudge, so there is no need to bother. But for the fans, Evan Dogerty and Alan Adams join forces to drive away Donne, which is absolutely unforgivable.
How could the two people sitting on the rostrum not feel such a vibrating shock? What's more, after repeated lyrics, it's no secret that the specific meaning of such lyrics is long gone. Every time you hear such a song, Evan Doggetti's face is quite ugly - tens of thousands of people call him "idiots" in person. The face of the person who can still be as if nothing is done is thicker than the earth's crust. Unfortunately, Evan Doggetti cannot cultivate to that level. But today's Doggetti is a bit abnormal and he is not angry. Or you can't tell whether he is angry from the surface. He sat in his seat and looked at the court below, as if he was distracted.
The singing lasted for a minute before stopping, and the fans also sat back on their seats and returned to the game mode.
It’s a pity that the team’s performance has not improved.
Allen was not interested in this kind of game with no aesthetic sense and no hope of winning. He began to turn his head and chat with two guests sitting next to him. These two guests were Middle Eastern Arabs, with white robes and headscarves very prominent. Their appearance here shows that the club seems to be in contact with a consortium from Middle Eastern.
In fact, most of the guests sitting on the rostrum are not interested in the game. They are just taking advantage of the opportunity of football games to engage in social activities. For example, talk about the gains in the stock market and futures market, talk about the fact that their chain stores are about to open new stores. Talk about an investment project they are optimistic about, and win over people around them...
It's like a social dance party moved to the stands of the football field.
Evan Doggetti came to his senses and found that there were buzzing discussions everywhere behind him, and the topic they were discussing had nothing to do with football. The sound of countless fly flying in his ears made him very annoyed, but he couldn't stand up and scold them, asking them all to "shut_up". These people were easily offended by sponsors...
Evan, who couldn't find anyone to speak, turned his attention to the court again, and the score was still 0:0. However, Everton already took the initiative. Nottingham Forest can only get beaten. The Forest team is indeed in contact with a consortium from the UAE, and this time they are invited to watch the Forest team's first game of the new season. The club hopes that the team can use outstanding results to increase their value in front of the Arabians.
But the team's performance is so bad...
McCallister is just a stopgap measure, just a transitional coach. If you want to revive the Forest team, you still need to find a head coach with a level and reputation that can suppress the locker room. But this way, there are not many head coaches in today's football today, where should you find them?
Evan Dogette glanced at the slogans in the Robin Hood's stands.
"No one can replace Tony Donne!!"
Tang En really wanted to yawn, but he held it back. The game was so boring, Teresa was very interested in everything, watching everywhere, and feeling very uneasy in his arms. He didn't have to worry about nothing to do...
The Everton player was getting the ball on the court, and the fans around him were putting pressure on the Everton player with booing. It was a common thing to raise the middle finger. He regretted bringing his daughter to him because Teresa had asked him three times what "supering the middle finger" means...
In order to divert attention, Tang En could only try every means to let his daughter pay attention to the football game itself. The way to coax her was "Look at your brother Wood playing football!" "Look at your brother Wood fell down!" (actually, it was a tackle) "Look at your brother Wood..."
Finally, my little daughter became a little interested in the game.
However, Brother Wood did not touch the ball. The person who took the ball on the court is Everton's player.
Belgian midfielder Marouane_fellaini is in control of the ball. He is a tall midfielder, Everton's stabilizing needle, and the main midfielder of the national team. Because he is at the back, no one from the Forest team went up to press, Fellaini was able to control the ball calmly. In the end, he passed the football to James Vaughan, who was retreating and responding.
Vaughan and his ground forward partner Polish Lewandowsky (robert_lewww.piaotian.come_hennessey) rolled over and crossed the goal line...
"Beautiful long shot! James Vaughan! Everton led Nottingham Forest 1:0 away!"
The blue fans in the stands opposite jumped up and cheered loudly. The Nottingham Forest fell into silence. Many fans around Tang En hugged their heads with their hands, looking helplessly at the Everton player running wildly on the court to celebrate.
In fact, they have become accustomed to facing such scenes over the past four years, so they did not boo the team and just chose to remain silent.
This silence seemed more like numbness in Tang En's eyes. The former Forest fans would immediately boo as soon as the team lost the ball. They would hit the goal side with overwhelming booing. They still wanted to avoid being booed after scoring the ball at our home court? Dreaming about you!
After a while, finally a boo came from another direction. It was the most radical group of fans. But whether they were booing Everton or Nottingham Forest. That was unknown.
The goal on the court finally interrupted the conversation between the guests on the rostrum. A group of people turned their attention to the stadium. After discovering that Everton scored, they soon returned to their respective topics.
"I know there is a project that guarantees to make a lot of money..."
"Even Cambodia is almost hollowed out. Where else in the world has not been developed? Antarctica? Ha..."
"I plan to fly back to New York next weekend, where I still have some business to manage..."
"Ms. Nancy, you are so beautiful..."
"No, we have no problems now, and there are no difficulties in operation. I promise this is a deal that is beneficial to both parties..."
Only Evan Dogette stared at the Everton player celebrating on the court, feeling unwilling to accept it. Even someone who doesn't know much about football can feel that the team's morale has declined.
The game continued. The Forest fans in the stands were a little discouraged. At this time, it belonged to Everton fans. They sang in the stands and cheered for Everton, while the Forest fans were unable to get excited and fought against them.
It is impossible to always point the camera at the stadium during each game. There are often shots from other places, such as giving the coach's seat some shots, or when you find interesting slogans qualifying in the stands. The camera will also take special attention. In addition, when there are some celebrity places in the stands, you will also give a close-up shot.
The live footage of this game shaking in the stands, first aiming at the slogans, then suddenly changing. Cut to a certain stand.
Close-ups of live TV broadcasts can usually be seen on the large screen on the spot, so when watching live TV games, you can often see some fans appearing in the TV screen waving to the camera excitedly, and also looking at the large screen on the other side.
This is not new. But the fans of the Forest team are not in the mood to show up. Their team is behind. Whoever can laugh at the camera must be not a hardcore Forest team fan.
This close-up shot is not meant to let the fans there show up to the camera, they obviously have other opinions. The camera pushes closer and then pushes closer, and then sets the pattern on someone.
"Ahhh! Let's see who this is!" The game commentator laughed after seeing this person. "He's really like a spy..."
There is no doubt that the person who was betrayed by the live TV camera was Tony Tangen. Tangen didn't care at first. Because his mind was on the field, he didn't feel something was wrong until he found that the people around him looked different. Because everyone stopped watching the game, they turned their heads to look at him.
Before he could realize what was going on, a voice suddenly sounded on the live broadcast: "Let's welcome-"
A common voice sounded like a tsunami in the stands: "Tony Don!!!"
The sound scared Tang En, and he stood up reflexively. As a result, the cheers became louder.
"Tony! Tony! Tony!!"
Tang En reacted now. He knew that he had been exposed, so he simply said hello to everyone with Teresa's hand.
To be honest, he has been away from here for four years. He is a little proud of being able to get such cheers.
The sudden cheer also scared the players on the court. Mitcher heard the boundary when he was supposed to catch the pass, but no fans came to boo him. Instead, he shouted "Tony! Tony".
He raised his head and easily found the focus of the cheers. There was a man standing there on the upper stand. It seemed like a king was there to receive worship from all nations.
Not only him, many players were looking up, but not many people were stunned after seeing that person. After all, the old players of the Forest team were almost gone.
Mitcher was still stunned, and Wood came up and yelled at him: "What are you doing? Not going to defend yet?"
"Look there, George! Boss! It's the Boss!" Mitcher pointed to the stands and shouted excitedly.
Wood didn't turn his head, just glaring at Mitcher: "Are you going to let him see you sleepwalking on the field?"
It really woke up the dreamer. Mitcher ran to participate in the defense. This time it was Wood's turn to look back and look into the stands.
The cheers continued, Evan Dogette was initially startled by the cheers, and then he actually saw Tony Donn on the TV screen. This surprised him - they hadn't contacted each other again for a long time. He didn't expect Donn to come to watch the game on site. He thought Donn must hate him very much.
Behind him, the social symposium was also interrupted by the cheers of fans welcomed Tang En. They asked around in surprise, looking for the source of the cheers.
"what happened?"
"What are they shouting?"
"Tony? Which Tony? Tony. Donne? He's back?"
Alan also stopped talking to the Arabs and turned his eyes to the big screen. He indeed saw Don Eun and his daughter.
After four years of separation, I even had a child...
More than 40,000 Forest fans in the stands stretched out their hands and bent down to bow down. They were paying tribute to His Majesty the King, even if they had been away from the King for four years.
Tang En waved to his subjects and sat down again. If he continued to do so, he would not even watch the game.
The cheer lasted for a while before it gradually disappeared.
But the worship of the king was not over, and someone came up next to me: "Hey, I really didn't expect that the guy sitting next to me was Tony Don. Sign me a name, Tony!"
To be continued...
