Chapter 145 New Sponsor·Spokesperson (Part 1)

Perhaps it was because of that happy Christmas dinner that George Wood was in a surprisingly good condition. The voices of questioning him a few weeks ago had not completely disappeared, but he used his stable performance to slap those doubters again and again.

The next day, the Forests defeated Southampton 2-1 at home, and although their goal continued to concede, they finally won.

On December 28, Forests challenged Manchester City away. In this game, Donn made up his mind to rectify his defense. At Maine Road Stadium, he arranged a defensive counterattack strategy. In the end, under Manchester City's fierce attack, the counterattack was not made, and the defense was fully tested. In this game, George Wood, who was partnering with Gunnarson, received unanimous praise from the post-match. When Manchester City defeated Forests in half, it was his outstanding performance that helped Darren Ward, who was obviously unable to do so, resolved the danger in front of the goal several times, which allowed Forests to take a point away from the away game.

Kevin Keegan told reporters indignantly at the post-match press conference: "It's not fair, we are eleven people playing, and Nottingham Forest has twelve people!"

Of course, he was not saying that Forest team got a point with the help of the referee. In fact, the referee in this game was biased towards the home team Manchester City, which is also very normal - there will be no referee who is biased towards the away team, right?

The twelfth man Keegan said was George Wood.                                                                                                                        

He is very good at using his body to make up for his lack of skills and experience.

No wonder Keegan feels depressed. His words are similar to the previous football comments about Brazilian right-back Kafu being a "three-pulmonary man".

Since not only successfully defending Cristiano Ronaldo in the game against Manchester United, but also scored an equalizer at the last moment of the game, George Wood has a vague trend of becoming a hot rookie in the Premier League.

Recently, there have been more topics about Wood. Of course, the difference between the past is that it used to be doubtful, but now it is flattering.

However, Tang En was not worried that such uncontrollable praising would make Wood lose his normal mind and ruin the kid's future. He knew who Wood was. He didn't take these praises at all, and he still couldn't recognize what benefits this false reputation would bring to him.

One day after the game, at an internal Christmas party held by Nottingham Forest Club, various awards were presented to reward those in all aspects of the Forest team who performed outstandingly in all aspects over the past year. The selection method is to vote internally, propose candidates, and then everyone voted secretly. That is to say, if someone can be elected as the best, then he must have been recognized by everyone.

Freddy Eastwood has won the honor of the team's Player of the Year for his outstanding and stable performance and repeated goals at critical moments since joining the team.

The team's trophy for the best newcomer of the year was no surprise and was picked up by George Wood.

According to convention, everyone who wins the award must go on stage to deliver a speech on the award. Eastwood is very clever, and this improvisational speech is like a pediatrician to him. It makes everyone laugh easily, and the atmosphere reaches a climax.

George Wood never stood on the stage like this, facing so many people talking. Don't know which one would make Wood more difficult to deal with such a scene and let him and Roy Keane fight again.

When he read "The winner of the New Year's Best Newcomer is George Wood", there was warm applause on the court, and some people whistled excitedly.

Wood sat next to his mother, still a little surprised by the result announced by Don En. He turned his head and looked at his teammates who were cheering and whistling for him, as if he couldn't believe that his popularity would be so good.

Tang En stood on the stage, holding a transparent trophy in his hand and shook at Wood: "George, if you don't come up to receive the prize, I'll take this back to my own home!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Amid laughter, Sophia sorted out the collar of the shirt in her suit for her son. She said to Wood proudly and lovingly: "Go, George. It's impolite to let someone wait."

Wood then got up and walked onto the stage, took the trophy from Don En's collection, held it in his hand, and the coolness came from the cup, calming him down.

"Say something, George." Don handed Wood a microphone.

Wood held the microphone in his hand. He looked at the expectant eyes below and bit his lip.

What should I say?

While he was still working as a porter, even though the men around him were football fans, they would discuss yesterday's football match in their spare time. Most of them were supporters of Nottingham Forest. At that time, he never thought that he would become a Nottingham Forest player and the center of their discussions at work. He felt that the world was too far away from him until one day he "rammed" someone on the street and everything changed.

"I..." After a long time of stalemate, Wood finally spoke. "I have never thought before... I have thought that I would become a professional player."

Is it really a long talk? Tang En was secretly happy.

"I won't say anything..."

The hall was quiet, and everyone was holding their breath. They knew that Wood would not say anything, because they rarely heard this person say a lot in one breath. It was once a lifetime to let him stand in front of everyone like this.

"I don't know what to say... It's harder than letting me score another goal with Manchester United..." Wood said seriously, but the audience laughed in a mess, and even Don En, who was standing behind him, chuckled.

"So I can only thank everyone..." He bowed slightly to the audience. Then he walked down.

The applause also rang out.

Although he still said too little, Tang En did not ask him to say a few more words. This is already a great progress for a boy who rarely communicates with others. Growth is a long process, and you can't ask for more.

When Wood returned to his seat, he received his mother's encouragement kiss, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

Next was awarded the Youth Team Player of the Year Award. The winner was Gareth Bale, whom Done brought from Southampton. Although he was only fifteen years old, he had been transferred to the 18-year-old youth team. Now Done is waiting for him to be sixteen years old. Then he signed a professional contract with him to tie his future here.

After the highlights were awarded, the atmosphere was very relaxed, and there were inexplicably awards. Tang En is a master of adjusting the atmosphere, whether in the locker room, on the side of the football field, or here. He always makes everyone laugh.

After half a season of continuous competition, whether it is the coaches or the players, everyone can finally put aside their damn opponents, the damn standings, the damn season goals... relax.

After the award ceremony, the cocktail party was held, and Tang En became the busiest person. He pulled Shania to play with her wine glass and looked for someone to sign...

If they didn't tell them about Shania's real age, I'm afraid no one would think she was a child, right?

Everyone nodded and smiled and signed the autograph for Shania, while gossiping in their hearts: Oh—it turned out that the girl who went out for dinner with the boss that night was her!

Of course, Tang En knew what these kids were thinking, but he pretended not to see it. He led Xianya to say hello one by one, introduce him, and ask for an autograph. He turned from here to the other side, turned back, and was almost dizzy.

When he led Shania to Evan and Allen, he didn't pay attention, "They are..." He just started to find something was wrong, and looked up and saw the club chairman and marketing manager who were smiling at him.

"Tony, do we need an autograph, too?" they laughed.

"Uh..." Tang En scratched his head embarrassedly.   After introducing Shania to the two of them.   "Judy Shania Jordanna.  "

Evan nodded: "I know you, Miss Jordanna. I met you at a fashion show last week."

Shaniya's eyes widened and she was a little surprised, let alone Tang En. However, Shaniya was surprised that the chairman of the club in front of her would know the launch conference of the small brand with little influence. Tang En was surprised that she had already started walking the catwalk at such a young age?

"Yeah." Evan looked at Shania, who was dressed casually now, "You are completely different from you now on the T-shaped stage. I didn't recognize it at once, but I remembered it when Tony introduced your name."

Shania raised her face, raised her head slightly, and looked at Donn beside her and said to Evan Doggety, "Is that true?"

Evan smiled: "That's right. That's what it feels like."

Shania's expression returned to normal again. She stuck out her tongue, "I don't like this. But the model..."
