Chapter 144 Happy Christmas (Part 1)

When Tang En took Wood to the Youth Base to find Tang, he had just finished his day's work and was about to go home as planned.

"Don't go back, we have other arrangements tonight." Tang En said to him.

Tang looked at Wood who was with Tang En and nodded: "I understand. But..."

"but?"

"This won't work." Tang pointed at himself.

Tang En then noticed that Tang was wearing a somewhat bloated sports jacket. He was not used to wearing that thing himself. Even if he was training, he was wearing almost the same clothes as the gangster boss - a dark red suit, a white shirt, and a black tweed windbreaker representing the Forest Team.

He looked up and down and agreed with Don's opinion: "Indeed... let's go back." He turned to Wood and said, "George, you go back first, we'll go when we're ready."

Wood nodded and turned and left.

Tang En and Tang walked in another direction, closer to Branford Garden Street where they lived.

They walked through the youth team's training ground, and the young players were basically gone, and now only the turf maintenance personnel were left to water the training ground that they had just used.

Tang En stopped on the sidelines for a moment and looked around the empty training base. Tang asked him from behind: "What did you think of?"

"I've been here for half a season, too..." Tang En pointed to the training ground and said, "No, it's not even half a season. Although the time is short, what I learned during that time has been used until now. I have read all the notes and books you put on the bookshelf at home." He turned to Tang and said, "Your teacher is Paul Hart, and my teacher is you."

"Why are you thinking about this today?" Tang's face did not show a happy smile, and he continued to ask.

"It's nothing... Another year has passed, I feel a little bit emotional."

Standing behind Tang En, Tang opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But in the end he gave up this plan and continued to remain silent.

"A year ago, George was still training at this venue. I promised to transfer him to the first team after Christmas. At that time, I was still thinking about letting him train in the first team first, or to play in the youth team and reserve team, and occasionally to the first team's substitute list. I occasionally come on the bench at the last moment to experience the atmosphere of the official game, and then wait for a season, I can slowly try to make him play more games... Unexpectedly, the kid's performance far exceeded my plan..." Tang En looked up at the gloomy sky, "Now, Don, do you know? I have to be asked by several clubs almost every day, all about him."

Tang nodded: "When I was still in the Forest Youth Team, he was not the same person in the youth team." This means that this is a rookie discovered by Tang En himself, who will praise Tang En's ability to cultivate young players and discover talents.

Tang En turned around and smiled at him, thanking him for his praise. “Let’s go.”

When the two arrived at the side door of the youth team training base, they saw Gareth Bale and his father there, who was wearing a scarf for Gareth.

Old Bell faced the gate. Seeing two coaches walking side by side, he quickly waved his hand to say hello to them.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Tang En! Merry Christmas, Mr. Tang!"

"Merry Christmas. Mr. Bell. Why haven't you been back yet?" Tang En was a little surprised to be able to meet his first contract here.

"We are about to take the bus back."

Bale turned around and greeted and said hello to the two coaches.

He is stronger and more confident than when Tang En last met him. It seems that he is doing very well in the youth team.

Don, standing next to Don't say to Gareth Bell: "Bell, don't forget to come on the afternoon of the 29th."

Bell nodded happily.

Tang Shuodi is a Christmas awards ceremony held within Nottingham Forest Club on the afternoon of December 29. At that time, many awards selected by the club will be presented, such as Player of the Year, Coach of the Year. Young Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year... In addition to the first time, there are some interesting awards, such as the most popular coach of the year, the most popular player of the year, the most popular player of the year, the best turf maintainer of the year... and so on.

As head coach, Don Eun already knows the ownership of these awards, but the players themselves. They only know who is on the shortlist. Of course, whether they are nominated or not. They are coming on the 29th, which is also a Christmas party.

The Forest team's performance was ups and downs. It was once again in a trough. Faced with the economic crisis, the club had no intention of doing this. Now that Evan comes to power and the situation stabilizes, he will pick up this tradition again and then package it in a more modern way. This is also a great opportunity to win people's hearts, cultivate players' sense of belonging to the club, and re-establish Nottingham Forest's image.

After seeing off Gareth and his son, Tang Encai and Tang went back to clean up and prepared to go to the appointment.

The two walked slowly back to No. 13 Garden Street, Branford, but Tang En saw a man sitting at his door from a distance. He was wondering who would sit on the steps at the door. When he approached, he was even more surprised: "Shaniya!"

Hearing Tang En's voice, Judy Shania Jodana, who was sitting at the door, lowering her head and pretending to be asleep, suddenly raised her head. When she saw that the person standing in front of her was indeed Tony Tangen, a happy smile appeared on her face: "Merry Christmas, Uncle Tony!"

"Uh, Merry Christmas, Shania...why are you here?"

Seeing Tang En ask this, Shania pouted: "Did you forget? I said I'm here to spend Christmas with you!"

"No, I don't mean that... I mean... Haven't you been with your aunt and the others tonight?" Tang En knew that Xianya had misunderstood and quickly explained.

"I spent Christmas Eve with them, and I came today. I didn't call you specifically, just to surprise you. Isn't it welcome?" Xianya still pouted.

"How could it be that it is not welcome?" Tang En opened the door, "Please come in, little girl."

Xianya lifted up the big backpack that was placed on the ground that was seriously inconsistent with her body, and said to Tang Xiao, who was standing next to her: "Merry Christmas, Uncle Tang! I won't disturb you, right?"

Tang shook his head: "No, Tony has told me a long time ago. He cleans your room himself every week..."

Tang En coughed next to him.

Shania glanced at Tang En, and finally showed a naughty smile on her face. Then she walked in with her head held high and her chest raised. Tang En waited for Tang to come up behind her and whispered: "Why do you talk so much today?"

"Didn't you let me be more outgoing after seeing people?" Tang asked back, and Tang suddenly lost his words. He was so tired that he was tied up.

"Hey, you haven't come in yet, what are you talking about outside?" Xianya turned around and found that Tang En and Tang were standing outside the door.

"Ah, no, nothing..." Tang En walked in first, and after entering the house, Tang went straight to his room upstairs to shower and change his clothes.

Shania wanted to be like her own house, so she went straight upstairs and opened the door of her bedroom. As expected, it was exactly the same as Xia Tian. The room was very tidy. It seemed that Tang was right. Uncle Tony did clean this unoccupied room every week. She screamed in excitement, then she threw her backpack at the door, hugged the large chinchilla doll, buried her face in the furry chinchilla's belly, and kept screaming in her mouth.

At this time, Tang En was considering another issue in the living room.

Originally, Sophia invited him and Tang to celebrate the festival with her house, but now there is one more Shania. He definitely cannot leave the little girl here alone and then go to an appointment with Tang. And he can also say that he refuses Sophia's invitation and stay with Shania. The only way now is to take Shania to Sophia's house.

I just don’t know if my girl agrees with such an arrangement?

Thinking of this, Tang En went upstairs to ask for Shania's opinion: "Shania?"

"Hmm?" When Tang En called her, Shania sat up from the bed.

"are you hungry?"

Shania shook her head: "Don't be hungry!"

"Uh, are you tired?"

Shania continued to shake her head: "Not tired!"

"Then... let's go out for the appointment later."

"Go to the appointment?"

"Well... do you know George Wood?"

Shania nodded: "Of course I know, it's too unreasonable to be a Forest fan without even Wood!"

Tang En laughed, the little girl was so cute when she said this seriously. “His mother invited us to have dinner in the evening.”

"That's great, I'm going there too!"

"Of course, how could it be that it was possible to throw Shania alone in the cold and dark home? Change into your most beautiful clothes, little angel." Tang En blinked at Shania, then retreated, and had not forgotten to bring it to the door before leaving.

When he walked downstairs, Tang had already finished changing clothes and sat on the sofa. He was wearing a dark blue jacket and a turtleneck sweater inside, which looked nothing to do with the football coach Tang Ke who wore sports jackets all day long.

Seeing Tang En walk down, Tang said to him: "I admit..."

"Um?"

"Tony Donne is now much richer than the Tony Donne before."

Tang En laughed: "Isn't this good?"

Tang nodded and murmured: "That's right...it's good..."
