Chapter 253 Three days later
Nottingham Forest brought back a goal from the away game, and the Forest team had already gained the psychological advantage in the second leg.
Of course, Don En still has the impression. In this season he remembered, Arsenal finally eliminated Villarreal with a total score of 1:0 in two rounds by defensive counterattack, and then entered the Champions League final. This was the first time in their club's history.
However, for his own interests, he had to cruelly erase the most brilliant Champions League results in Arsenal's history.
Nottingham Forest will definitely enter the finals!
However, before really entering the finals, there is one thing Tang En still needs to worry about.
"Tang, what are your main tasks in the youth team now?"
“Basic training.”
Hearing this answer, Tang En snapped his fingers: "That's great. Come to me after the training tomorrow?"
"What's the matter?"
"I plan to ask you to help me train a person, start from scratch, and start from the most basic part."
Don guessed who it was: "George Wood?"
"Yes, it's him."
"But..." Tang recalled Wood's performance in the youth team, "He has always had a good foundation."
"It depends on what the basics are. I want you to help me practice his shot. I won't mention whether he can score a goal. I hope he can hit at least seven of his ten shots within the range of the goal frame."
"Okay, but that's not a month or two..."
"It's okay, you'll be transferred to the first team next season, so just start working early."
Tang was a little surprised when he heard Tang En's words. Tang En had never told him that he would be transferred to the first team coaching team so soon.
"Ah... I forgot to tell you." Seeing Tang's expression, Tang En remembered and scratched his head, "I decided to transfer you to the first team coaching team next season. Help me.
We don’t have enough manpower, the team’s lineup is expanding day by day, and I need more coaches. What’s wrong?” Seeing that Tang didn’t say anything, Tang En asked.
"I didn't expect...that's it."
"What was it unexpected? Why did I find you in Chengdu for the first time? Isn't it just to let you come here to partner with me? There is no one in the world who can cooperate with me, only you, Tang."
Tang looked up at Tang En, "Do you really think so?"
Tang En nodded without hesitation.
"All right. "
Seeing Tang nodding, Tang En smiled.
"You are really concerned about Wood."
"I have a fate with him..."
After the training the next day, Donn kept Wood.
The players walked over Wood in groups of laughter and some people blinked at him. Everyone knew that Don Eun must be practicing more when he left Wood, which is not a "amateur activity" that everyone likes.
Wood stood there, looking at his teammates walking past him, with no discomfort on his face. Extra training was a really good "careful activity" for him.
After everyone was finished, Tang En took Tang to the stadium.
"You all know each other, I won't introduce you."
Wood didn't expect that the person who came to train for him was not Tang En, but Tang. He was stunned for a moment.
"What? I haven't met you for only half a month?" Don Eun joked with Wood.
"No...what are we practicing?" Wood shook his head.
"Well. Practice shooting." Tang En said the training subject, and Wood was stunned for a moment.
"George, do you know why your shot can be within the frame of the game against Arsenal?" Don asked.
Wood thought about it carefully and he no longer remembered the feeling when he shot. He only knew that he was very happy. Apart from that, there was nothing.
Tang En shrugged and turned his head to look at Tang.
"You don't know why you can shoot the football within the goal frame, George." Tang said. "You shoot again." He kicked the football over and pointed to the goal ahead.
Wood stopped the football, took a few steps back, then sprinted to run, swung his thighs, and kicked... and shot!
Tang En and Tang looked up at the football flying towards the sky, and the former had not forgotten to whistle.
"Okay, I firmly believe that the shot he shot in the game was purely lucky." Tang En patted Tang on the shoulder, "You can do it."
Tang walked forward and grabbed Wood: "George, shooting doesn't have to be done with all your body. In addition, why do you have to lift your toes? Do you still remember how you practice shooting in the youth team?"
Wood shook his head: "I didn't practice shooting in the youth team..."
Tang En explained to Tang: "When he came to the ground, he said he wanted to play the forward, so I put him on the front line, and the coaches also trained him as they did when training the forwards.
But I soon found out that he was not the material for playing forward at all. I asked him to play back midfielder instead, so they never let him get involved in shooting training. "
After listening to Tang En's explanation, Tang shook his head helplessly. "The head coach of the local youth team at that time was David Chris Lack?"
Tang En nodded.
Don said nothing. He turned his head to look at Wood. "Let's start from scratch. George, this training is very long. It's boring. There are no shortcuts. Are you sure you want to practice?"
Wood turned his head and looked at Done who was standing aside, and then said to Don: "Dimi hopes I can become a player like him."
Before Tang could speak, Tang En spoke first: "Let us put other people's expectations aside.
George, what do you want to do? Do you want to continue working as a midfield engineer, or... make some changes? I won't force you to do things you don't like. In fact, a simple midfield engineer is also very important to the team, and it is also amazing to play to the extreme in this regard.
”
Wood lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up and said, "I think...I like the feeling of shooting and participating in the offense."
Donn sighed, this should be Wood's true thought.
"Okay. Starting today, after the training every day, you will practice half an hour of shooting with Tang. In normal training, we will also practice other offensive practices on you."
Wood nodded and accepted the arrangement.
"Start, Tang." Tang En patted Tang on the shoulder and retreated. He was basically unable to get involved in this kind of training. He was not good at training these details. He was responsible for the coaching team in the first team.
However, he could take this opportunity to observe Tang's training up close, and he also had a more intuitive understanding before being transferred to the first team. You know, this is the first time he has watched Tang's training players close.
Wood cooperated with Tang very much. He was no longer as stubborn as when he first came here. Tang was also very patient, more patient than ordinary people. No matter how outrageous Wood shot the ball. He did not show any impatientness at all.
He repeatedly explained the key points to Wood that need to be paid attention to when shooting, and then broke down the simplest and most basic shooting action and demonstrated it to Wood little by little. Just over and over again until the sun sets.
"Okay! Time is over!" Tang En raised his finger and pointed at the test. He didn't pay attention to the time and just watched the training. In fact, the training process was very boring and monotonous, but Tang En just looked at it very stunningly.
In the setting sun, George Wood simply took off his shirt and shot the football at the goal again and again with his bare arms. Repeating the simplest movement, the whistle sound from the whistle in Tang's mouth rang out again, but he scolded loudly without sounding.
Tang En couldn't do this, he was not a very patient person. Seeing Wood like this, he probably had already sweared and scolded him - why are you so stupid? This is the simplest and most basic.
Actions that are so simple that they cannot be simple, but so basic that they cannot be basic!
But Tang didn't. He couldn't even hear any emotional fluctuations from the sound of his speech, without disappointment or joy.
Hearing Tang En's call, Tang stopped training, and he calmly said to the breathless Wood: "Let's go ahead tomorrow, George."
"Okay... OK." Wood answered with a breath of breath.
"Go back, George. Say hello to your mother on my behalf." Tang En and Tang said goodbye to Wood at the gate, and each walked in different directions.
"The first time I saw Wood gasping for breath after training. I don't think the training volume is too much..." On the way home, Tang En asked Tang.
"Doing the same action repeatedly will give people a very tired feeling."
"It's really only one action?"
Tang nodded.
"Yes, practice that kid well. Try to practice him every day! By the way, do you feel that he has talent in that aspect?"
Tang shook his head: "Not so far."
"Well..." Tang En pondered for a while, "Take it slow, there is still one more year."
"One year? Oh, Albertini."
"I have to prepare for both..."
The two walked away side by side.
Wood's training plan is underway every day, regardless of rain or shine. It's not that Tang En deliberately wants to connect Wood into a devil's muscle man, but he doesn't have much time.
Albertini should retire next season, if Wood had no results at that time. His performance on the court was as awkward as in the previous two games.
Don En would cut off this idea and concentrate on finding candidates in the summer transfer market who could replace Albertini.
But at that time. Whether you can find the right person is another matter. Tang En doesn’t think so many now, there is still about a year before that.
As the game approaches, more and more media gather in Nottingham are gathering. Some people want to see if Arsenal can reach the Champions League final for the first time, while others want to see if Nottingham Forest, the dark horse of this competition, can be darkened to the end.
This is the civil war in England, but it has attracted the attention of media in other countries outside England.
The media in Catalonia and Western Naya want to see which team Barcelona is in the final, and the media in Italy and Milan also want to know who AC Milan's final opponent is as soon as possible.
