Chapter 178: We are back (Part 1)

The most difficult schedule has come. Nottingham Forest's opponents in the remaining two rounds of the game are Charlton and Birmingham. If someone thinks that these two games are purely formalities, then he is very wrong. Forest has two rounds of league left, while Everton has three games left. The difference between the two teams is now four points. If Forest loses both rounds in the next two rounds and Everton wins, Forest will still lose the qualification to participate in the Champions League.

Tony Donn could not let it happen if he capsized in the gutter.

He warned the players not to give Everton any chance, that is, to not underestimate the remaining two opponents.

On May 7, the 37th round of the league, Nottingham Forest challenged Charlton away.

In this game, Forests was not affected by the last away loss to Arsenal, both in London and away. At the Valley Stadium, Forests won the game 2:0. At the same time, at Everton's home court, Goodison Park Stadium, Moyes's team defeated Bolton 3:2, and finally did not reveal the suspense in advance.

On May 12, the Forests had no game and Everton was going to London for a make-up match with Arsenal.

The game was held in the afternoon. So on this day, Tang En canceled the day two practices. After the morning training, he stayed at home and prepared to watch the game with Tang in the afternoon.

Tang watched Tang En take out a can of cold beer from the refrigerator before the game and put it on the table, then asked, "Do you need peanuts?"

Hearing Tang's question, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "I'm used to it. I basically keep drinking when watching football in China. Alcohol is the combustion aid for my inspiration."

Tang turned around and went to watch TV, muttering: "You won't say that if you are so stupid..."

Tang En shrugged and straddled his chair. “Hey. Tang. Guess what the outcome of this game will be?”

"I never guess the score or the outcome before the game."

"Tsk, it's so boring. Tell me about your situation in the youth team... Haven't you been promoted to the assistant coach of the youth team?"

Tang nodded, but was unwilling to talk about him more. He pointed to the TV screen: "The game has begun."

The two stopped chatting and focused on the game.

Twenty minutes later, Tang En drank the beer in his hand and sighed: "I don't think I need to watch it anymore. This game is all about it."

"It's only 2:0, Everton still has a chance." Tang's eyes were silent.

Tang En shook his head. Stand up from the chair. “There is no chance, Everton has no chance. We won, and the qualification for the Champions League is ours.”

After listening to Tang En's words, Tang turned around and looked at him: "Are you unhappy?"

"No, it's just... I have a sense of emptiness after reaching the goal. Are you still watching? I'll go out for a walk."

Tang nodded and said that he would continue watching, while Tang En went out shopping with his hands in his pockets.

Although there is one round of league left, for Don En, the season is over until today. No matter what the final round is played, it will not affect their performance.

European Champions League qualification.

European Champions League, powerful people, glory, money, stars... two weeks ago.  I just felt excited after thinking about it.  I didn’t expect that when all this really came, he suddenly couldn’t get excited.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

When everything comes naturally, the ecstasy will naturally be much less.

When reading novels, movies and comics, he always hopes to be more dramatic and more dramatic. But it is better to be safer if you really sit in this position. Otherwise, your heart will really not be able to stand it.

Tang En touched his left chest and felt the stimulation of speeding countless times here. It is said that the head coach is a profession with a high incidence of heart disease. It is true. He is very happy and sad, and he completes the conversion in an instant. Such things may be common for the head coach.

Tang En, who was full of random thoughts, walked unknowingly to a familiar signboard. Although he did not set a destination, the inertia of his legs still brought him to the forest bar.

Since he has been working hard to get the Champions League qualification next season, he has never come to this bar again. Now standing outside, you can still hear the noise from inside.

"Beautiful job! Arsenal!"

"In one more, one more!"

This group of people were also watching that game. Hearing such shouts, Tang En laughed. Although it was not a Forest team game. But this game decided that the Forest team's goal next season is the League Cup or the Champions League. Fans are paying so much attention to this game. It is equivalent to paying attention to their own team.

Tang En stood at the door of the bar, feeling a little thirsty. He was attracted by the scent of the wine floating out of the crack of the door. But when he held his hand on the door handle, he hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of ​​pushing the door in.

At this time, he didn't want to be surrounded and asked questions about how to play next season.

He wanted to find a place alone and stay quiet for a while.

Tang En looked at the noisy bar behind him, turned around and took out his sunglasses and put them on. He remembered that he should go to a place.

Through the woods, a group of children were playing football happily, and the cemetery was still so quiet.

The tombstone had already accumulated dust, and Tang En seemed to have almost forgotten the place and the corner of his heart. Today he returned to this uninvited cemetery again. He took out a tissue and wiped off the ash on the tombstone. Then he squatted down and stared at the text on the monument.

The ones who are lying here are Michael Bernard and Fiona Bernard's most beloved son, Nottingham Forest's most loyal fan, and George Wood's eternal supporter - Gavin Bernard.

Every time he succeeds, Tang En always thinks: If Gavin is still there and sees the Forest team achieve good results, what expression will be on his face?

Hello, Gavin.   When you announced that you became a George Wood worshiper outside the youth team training ground, did you ever think that he would be as famous as he is now? He is really a star now, not a player.   He is a star, a star.   His first signature must be very valuable now...

Tang En sat down and leaned against the tombstone. He looked up from the lush branches and leaves to look at the blue sky.

If Gavin is still there, Michael is still there, and everyone is still there, just like when he first arrived in Nottingham, then will he feel more accomplished today?

——What are you talking about, Mr. Tang? Of course we like to win, and we also like the team to return to the Super League after this season.  We like to become the damn league champion next season, and we will be the king of Europe next season!

Although it was a little late, we have not deviated from the direction. Michael, can you really get used to the days without football?

——Coach Tony Donn, are you planning to go to the Sun's front page for intimidating children?

——So I admire him very much because he defeated me! I decided to become his fan!

——Sign him. George, he is your first fan, you can’t treat him so coldly. Squat down. Sign!

——Even if I don’t have the money to buy a new jersey, I won’t sell it!

——Crashing an innocent child and then stepping on him... This is what you call honor? This is your honor?! Do you think you are amazing? Do you think you are the heroes of this team? You...you bastards!

The past is like a movie, and scenes appear in the sky curtain in front of Tang En.

From January 2003 to May 2005, two and a half years passed in a flash. He. Don, Tony Don, completed the transition from an ordinary time travel fan to a professional football coach, but how many people who accompanied him along the way were left by his side?

Michael left. Gavin left, Walker left, Bower left, and the "head" left... and the players he encouraged and denounced, and fought together. Now the Land Forest team is no longer the Forest team two and a half years ago, with a hard drive. The flowing soldiers.

The ringtone of the cell phone in the pocket suddenly rang, and the picture in front of him was blown away in the air by the wind. Tang En took out his cell phone and pressed the answer button.

"Uncle Tony!" Shania's happy voice came from that side to Don't hear him.

"Shania?" Tang En was a little surprised.

"Congratulations, Uncle Tony!"

"Congratulations on me? What do I do?" Tang En's head did not turn around, and was still in the surprise of Shania suddenly calling him.

"Didn't the Forest team qualify for the European Champions League next season? Arsenal won Everton, just now... what's the score?"

"It's all over?" Tang En looked down at his watch, "I can't guess."

"7:0! Awesome?"

"Wow, so awesome!" In fact, Don Eun was not surprised. He knew that the result was normal. The gap in strength between Arsenal and Everton was not just the second and fifth in the league. Arsenal scored two goals at the eleven minutes of the game, and Don Eun knew what kind of big scores appeared behind him. Because he had been 2:0 after. Seeing that Everton's players were obviously confused and their dream of the Champions League was shattered, then the League Cup might also be a good choice. You should know that Everton could not even participate in the League Cup last season.

Losing fighting spirit and losing the goal, what else can I find in this game? Tang Encai came out early.
Chapter completed!
