Chapter 66: Meet new friends and encounter old enemies

Tang En suddenly became a busy man again, Piaotianwen. As the coach who led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive years, he deserved this treatment.

Last season, Don En led the team to the finals of the Champions League last season and could be regarded as a dark horse. Perhaps some people disdained that they had "lucky luck".

This year, he has reached the semi-finals and eliminated defending champion Barcelona. I'm afraid those who think that Don Eun is "lucky" have nothing to say.

Once by chance, twice by chance?

There are only a handful of excellent head coaches in England's history, and more outstanding head coaches come from Scotland.

In the early days of modern football, the Scots first carried out innovation in football tactics. At that time, football had almost no tactics. The offense was to let the forward run towards the goal with the ball and kick the football in.

It's no different from the rookies who can't play football now.

It was the Scots who changed all this, and they reformed this tactic like a headless fly to pushing through continuous passing. It seems simple now, but just like what the American astronaut Armstrong said when he landed on the moon: My small step is a big step for humans.

A simple change broadened the horizons of people engaged in football, and passing has become an indispensable technique and tactic in football in the future.

As a pioneer in football tactical reform, Scotland has not produced any outstanding players who are famous all over the world, but has produced a large number of world-class coaches. Now Manchester United's head coach Ferguson is the Scotsman.

Compared with the northern neighbors, the English have limited achievements in this regard. Although there are great men like Chapman, they are still behind the Scots in terms of overall number.

Moreover, since the 1966 World Cup, England has basically not seen a real world-class head coach.

For example, the current head coach of England, McLaren, is the product of the general in the short.

Because of the ridiculous stubbornness of the FA and the public, they are more willing to find Englishmen. They believe that only their own people will devote themselves to their own teams and will have so-called loyalty.

Foreigners like Erikson are full of money, which is really unreliable.

"Tony Don is now the most popular head coach in England, the Nottingham Forest coach, after taking over the team three seasons ago. He took the team to the Premier League for a season and won the Premier League Cup.

In the second season, he led the team to the Champions League qualification, and in the third season, he led the team to the Champions League finals, almost winning the championship with one less person.

Don N was lying on the sofa happily watching the TV program about himself. This program has compared him with the four head coaches of Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez and Mourinho. Although he only won one League Cup championship, he led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive years, and it is not possible for any coach to do it.

Argentine coach Cooper once led Valencia to the Champions League final for two consecutive years. Although he did not win a single championship in the end, he still established his position in world football.

Of course, Don't have the goal of reaching the finals like Cooper. This time, no matter which team is waiting for him in the final, he will win.

"What interested us is that Coach Tony Done, who achieved such achievements, was even less than forty years old.

Although European football is now the world of young coaches, he is still too young compared to Van Basten, Rijcard, Deschamps and Ancelotti. Moreover, this young head coach always seems to be shrouded in a mysterious halo.

Peter Hilton once commented that his mentor Brian Crowe had a mysterious X gene. I think Tony Done might have the same gene. An unexpected incident on the sidelines of the court created this young and promising head coach…”

The scene of Tang En standing on the sidelines and directing the game with rich body language appeared on the TV screen, which made Tang En very happy. An ordinary little fan at the time has now become a celebrity specially introduced by TV. Who doesn’t want to become famous?

Just as Tang En was intoxicated by the appreciation of himself on TV, he beeped and the screen in front of him turned black.

Lying on the sofa, he looked up at Shania standing behind him: "Hey, Shania. Give me the remote control..."

"Stop hey, Uncle Tony. I've changed my clothes, are you still lying on the sofa in a T-shirt watching TV?" Shania threw the remote control onto the sofa a little far away, and Toto's cat immediately rushed over and pressed the remote control under her.

Tang En screamed strangely when he saw this scene. "Did this damn cat already have such a tacit understanding with you?"

Shania raised her head proudly, then sternly said to Tang En: "Okay, Uncle Tony, go and change your clothes!"

"What's the best thing to change for men? Isn't it just a suit?" Tang En mumbled and got up from the sofa and went upstairs to change his clothes.

After seeing him going upstairs, Shania grabbed Toto, took out the remote control, and turned on the TV secretly. The show continued. She looked at the energetic Uncle Tony on the screen and laughed.

Today is the day off after League Day. Armani Company had a dinner in London in the evening. As the endorsement model of the Armani brand, Shania was naturally invited and she planned to bring Don with her.

Didn’t I tell Tang En some time ago that he would improve his image and make him look farther from the image of a "landbuster". Shania thinks this dinner is an opportunity.

As Nottingham Forest's performance increases, Uncle Tony's popularity in the celebrity circle is getting bigger and bigger. When everyone talks about football together, they will ask Shania about her "Uncle Tony".

Everyone knows that there is such a young, arrogant, handsome and promising head coach in Nottingham, England. Because of his personal relationship with Judy Shania Jordanna, Chris Gronia and Beckham, he has a relatively close relationship with the fashion entertainment industry...

"Sinia!" Tang En's voice came from the upper floor, "Wear a tie or a bow tie?"

"Bow tie!" Xianya shouted. "I'll put it on your bed!"

After a while, Tang En walked downstairs, wearing a black suit and a black bow tie tie on his white shirt collar. “I think I look stupid now. I have never tied a bow tie.

"He stood on several stairs, showing Shania with his arms open.

Shania stood up from the sofa, jumped up and went up and down, and looked up and down carefully. "Dress up a little, it will be much more like it." She nodded and commented.

"Like those waiters in Indian restaurants?" Tang En bent down slightly, "Do you want to order something, beautiful lady? The curry chicken nuggets here are so unpalatable. I suggest you try Kung Pao chicken in Chinese restaurants opposite the door."

Shania covered her mouth and laughed: "A waiter like you will be fired by the boss... We are going to go out. Uncle Tony. Mr. Fassar is about to arrive."

As soon as the words finished, the sound of car horns rang outside the door.

"I really have a tacit understanding." Tang En jumped out from above and reached out to Xianya. "Please."

Shania hugged Tang En with a smile and reached out her hand. The two of them opened the door and walked out.

Fasar's car was parked on the side of the road. When he heard the horn, Tang also opened the door and poked his head out. He saw Tang En and Xianya who were about to go out.

"Ah, Tang, have you recorded the program just now?" Tang En suddenly remembered this incident when he saw him.

Tang nodded.

"I did a pretty job. I knew you would record the video. Wait until I come back and show it to me."

Tang nodded again.

"Then...Shania and I are out." He pointed to the car parked at the door.

Tang continued to nod.

"Don't you want to say something?" Tang En was very dissatisfied with Tang's attitude of not saying anything but staring at him.

"Goodbye." After saying that, Tang retreated and closed the door again.

Tang En, who was unhappy, was dragged into the car by Shania with a smile.

"London is a colorful world..." Don muttered to himself in his car as he looked at the street scene in London outside. "Compared with such a noisy big city, I prefer a small city like Nottingham."

"The British have a rural complex." Fasal, who was driving in front, said with a smile. "I don't like big cities either. I have a manor in Scotland, and you can bring Shania to play during the holidays."

Tang En turned his head and looked at Shania. Then he said to Fasar: "Then thank you in advance."

While they were talking, they had arrived at the hotel where the dinner was held.

The parking lot was full of cars, and there were cars constantly stopping at the door. When the guests were invited, they drove the car to the designated parking lot.

On both sides of the entrance were crowded with media coming and star-chasers who were eagerly chasing.

"What a big battle." Tang En whistled.

"It's not as good as Armani's fame as young." Shania said.

Someone has come to open the car door for them. Tang En took the lead and then he stood outside and picked up Shania from the car.

When Tang En appeared in front of the public with Xianya, the flash that had just stopped was busy again and flashed into a circle.

Fortunately, Tang En and Shania are both "battle-standing" people, so they are not stunned by the sudden light. Shania also smiled and signaled to the media.

Tang En didn't have that leisure. He stood beside Shanya with a stern face, not like Shanya's companion. If he wears a pair of sunglasses, he would be more like her bodyguard.

After finally waiting for Shania to finish her look, the media took enough photos and prepared to leave, and another car came behind her. Tang En was a little interested in who would come next. He looked back and didn't expect that this look made him stop again.

The man who came out of the car was still his "old friend".

The person who appeared in front of Donn was nothing but Chelsea's head coach Jose Mourinho.

He turned around and saw Mourinho, and Mourinho looked up and saw him.

"Tsk. It's really a narrow road for enemies..." Tang En muttered in a low voice.

Shania saw this scene next to her. Her eyes turned and she understood. She said to Tang En: "He is also Armani's signed star, and she must be among the invitations."

"Mr. Armani's tastes are uneven..." Tang En said as he stretched out his hand and walked towards Mourinho on his own initiative.

"Aha, my friend, I really didn't expect to see you anywhere." He greeted him enthusiastically.

Mourinho seemed unprepared for Don En to appear here. He was stunned for a while before he realized, met Don En, shook hands with him.

Both sides smiled and greeted each other in front of the media, as if they were friends with good relationships.

Then, while shook hands, he whispered in a low voice with certain media that he couldn't hear it: "I can't imagine that I can see you here, Mr. Tang En."

"I'm here with Shania. What's so surprised?"

Mourinho's eyes passed over Don Eun, and saw Shania behind him, and greeted her with a smile. But when facing Don Eun, the smile quickly disappeared.

"Can I let go of my hand, Mr. Tangen?"

"Ah, of course..." Don En let go of Mourinho's hand and said goodbye to Mourinho with a smile: "Let's see you later, Mr. Mourinho."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Shania.

"Your warm greetings are true or false." Shania said to him, "You are not professional actors yet. I think those media are more happy to see you fighting in real life here."

Tang En smiled and stretched out his hand to her, let her hold it, and then said to her: "Murinho and I have at least one thing in common, that is, we don't want the media to do what we want."

Tang En was not interested in something like dinner. Instead, Shania pulled him and talked with Mr. Armani for a while.

As a fan, Armani is also very interested in the legend of the Rockets rising like the Nottingham Forest. Of course, he is more interested in the head coach who created this legend - Tony Donn.
