Chapter 29 Just a joke

When the Forest players met Frank Ribery in the locker room, they were all surprised.

"Hey, Frank, can you change clothes and train?" Eastwood asked strangely.

Ribery raised the crutch in his hand: "Of course not."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Just bored, let's see everyone."

Everyone said "oh" and was busy with their own things. Only Eastwood also accompanied Ribery to say a few words occasionally. Everyone was silently doing their own things. After yesterday's conflict, everyone was in a bad mood and the atmosphere in the locker room became even more dull.

Tang En's speech doesn't seem to work?

The team members gradually came, but the atmosphere in the locker room was not active because there were too many people. On the contrary, the more people, the more silent everyone became, and it seemed that they didn't want others to see what they thought at this moment.

Ribery frowned. He didn't want the atmosphere to continue. He loved this team because it was this team that gave him a freshman. He didn't want this happy team to sink. He always had to think of some solutions...

He coughed twice, then used his cane to point it, making a sound that attracted the attention of others.

"I said... guys, do you want to have some fun?" he smiled.

Before going to the training base, Tang stood at the door of his residence waiting for Tang En to come out.

The door he was watching was closed tightly, and he knew that Shania and Tang En must still say goodbye inside. Ah, maybe Shania, the supermodel Shania is putting on Tang En's coat, just like a real wife should do. He always thought the relationship between these two people was very interesting, quite interesting...

"I'm leaving." The door was opened and Tang En's voice came out.

"Well. Uncle Tony goodbye." The voice of the little girl Shaniya came out. "Come back for lunch!"

Then Tang En's figure appeared at the door.

When Tang En walked up to him, Tang asked, "How is someone waiting to go home for a meal?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to eat together so much?"

Tang quickly waved his hand: "I solved it in the club restaurant..."

The two walked towards the Wilford training base together. When they thought of the current situation of the team on the road, Tang En frowned again. He knew that once a fight occurred in the team, there would be cracks inside the team, and such cracks would not heal, and it would be there all the time. Nottingham Forest is no longer an indestructible bunker outside. How to deal with various things after the fight is the reason why Tang En has a headache.

People who did not participate in the fight would inevitably have the same idea as Zimbonda and Bentner at that time, but they lacked a reasonable excuse to vent. Then they scolded themselves, would the depressed atmosphere in the team be even more depressed? Fifteen minutes into the training this morning, but many reporters will come to film the interview. If they see any bad signs, will they exaggerate in the media? Will the team's performance be affected?

These questions circling in Tang En's mind, leaving him with the joy he had just been at home.

The twenty-minute journey was quickly completed. Tang En really saw a lot of media at the training base. They came here to interview and shoot like yesterday, and hoped to get some "internal reports". Fortunately, the conflict happened yesterday at the end of the training and the media had all finished it, otherwise the number of reporters coming here today would be more than twice as many as before. He would have a headache at that time...

Now.  It's okay.

"Good morning, Mr. Donne!" Pierce Bruce waved to greet Donne, but Donne walked straight over as if he hadn't seen it.

Only Tang was behind to help him wipe his butt: "Good morning, Mr. Bruce."

"Mr. Tangen's... doesn't look very good?" asked Bruce, who was observing carefully, in confusion.

Tang just smiled and said, "Don't wake up."

This excuse is really bad. It’s already 9:30 now. I haven’t woken up yet... Tang En rarely sleeps in.

Bruce was keenly aware of something, but he looked at the reporters from other media around him and said nothing.

There were other familiar reporters who greeted Tang En, but he ignored him. He walked in like this. But everyone has long been accustomed to Tang En's perverse character, so it's not surprising that he saw it. After all, the Forest team has been unable to win for a long time, and as the head coach, it is almost understandable that it is under a lot of pressure.

Don followed, and the two approached the head coach's office, and they saw Chris Lack who was already waiting there.

"Tony, does today's training plan need to be adjusted?"

Tang En shook his head and leaned over to turn on the computer: "The plan was decided a few days ago. No adjustment is needed. Why do you think of asking such a stupid question, David?"

"Uh...I just think the atmosphere in the team has not been very good these days..." Chris Lak stuttered.

"That's a psychological problem. You just need to be responsible for training, and I will solve the psychological problems of the players."

Chris Lack nodded: "You are right, Tony. But I think you have to normalize your mind first." After that, he handed over a mirror.

Tang En in the mirror still had a stern expression, which was no different from yesterday and the day before yesterday.

Chris Lack moved away without shaking the mirror, and Don was also staring at himself in the mirror.

"Tony, we all think you are the well-deserved core of this team. So if you can't get up by yourself, then this team will not get up by this team." Chris Lak said.

Don Eun took the mirror from him: "Thank you for the mirror. David."

"Then I'll go and do my business." Say goodbye to the two of you. Chris Lark walked out.

Tang looked at Tang En, then looked at the door. Then he also stood up: "I'm going to work too."

Tang En did not try to keep him, he nodded.

Turn on the computer and call up today's training plan document. Tang En glanced at it and took a rough look. Then he went online to browse the sports news. He found no reports about the team's internal fight yesterday. It seemed that no one had spread the news, and he was relieved.

After doing all this, he got up and went to the training ground to prepare to start work in the morning.

The media were rushing in to the gate just now and set up machines outside the training ground to shoot. Then a sharp-eyed reporter discovered a problem - Nottingham Forest has started training, so why didn’t Zimbonda and Bentner see two people?

Someone told the people around him about this discovery, so the reporters quickly discussed this topic. Tony Tang En has always been very strict in the military. If they were late... then the late time was too long, right? Zimbonda and Bentner are not the main core of the team now. They dare to be so late during training. Don't they want to continue playing football under Tang En?

What's even more strange is that Tang En, who has strict requirements on the team's discipline, was not at all unhappy, as if he didn't care that there were two people late. The forest first team was not many, and there were only a few faces, and he had already known each other, so he had no reason to ignore the two people.

This is so strange. Is there something that we don’t know?

At this moment, Chris Lack came to inform the media. Their shooting time was over.

A group of media then packed up their equipment and retreated. No matter how many questions they had in their hearts, it was not the time to ask questions. Anyway, there would be a regular press conference after training in the afternoon. At that time, the team's head coach Tony Donn will definitely attend. The player who attended the event would be a captain George Wood. The player may be the vice captain Van der Sar, the most popular Beckham, or any ordinary player. They will answer questions raised by reporters about some of the recent events that have happened to the team. According to the different personality traits of each player attending the earth, some people will speak loudly. The reporters were very satisfied, some were cautious and unwilling to talk more, and some people simply refused to cooperate, which made the reporters very dissatisfied.

Now the reporters have their own plans in their minds. They took advantage of the past half day to find out where the missing Zimbonda and Bentner went, and then waited until the afternoon press conference to launch a concentrated bombardment on Tony Donn.

After the reporters left, the training ground suddenly became much quieter. Apart from the players' own shouts and the coaches' whistles, there were no other sounds.

Tang En was still wearing sunglasses and watching. He had special coaches responsible for the specific training subjects, and the two assistant coaches were responsible for coordinating. He was basically nothing.

The team's training is no different from usual. Tang En focused on the emotions of the players. He wanted to see how deeply the incident yesterday had had on the team. The players did not have much rich expressions on their faces, they all looked very focused on training, and it was not time to rest yet. I can't tell how everyone was in normal times.

He looked down at his watch.  It has been half an hour of training.

"David." He shouted.

Chris Lack looked back at him.

"Let them have a rest." Tang En pointed to the players on the court.

Chris Lark nodded, then blew the whistle in his mouth: "Stay fifteen minutes!"

The players walked out of the field with a strong breath. They gathered slowly and rested in the corner. This was no different from usual. The players always gathered together, and the coaches were all in their own way and did not interfere with each other. The players had topics of interest to the players, and the coaches also had their chat content.

Tang En looked at it for a while and felt that it was exactly the same as usual. As the head coach, it was not convenient for him to walk over and listen to what these people were talking about. So he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to observe and planned to chat with everyone to relieve his emotions. David Chris Lack was right, so he should not always be stern and keep people from moving.

Be harmonious and have love.

"Hey, he turned around... This is an opportunity!" Eastwood said to the people around him as he turned around.

"This... isn't that good? Are we really going to do this?" Van Nestroy frowned. "The boss is in a bad mood recently. What if he angers him..."

"What are you afraid of? Usually, the boss always scolds us. Don't you want to take the opportunity to take revenge?" Eastwood inspires other teammates. "Besides... If the boss gets angry, he will blame Frank, which is what he said. Anyway, the idea is that he will come out of the ground. The boss will never bother with a lame man, right?"

Eastwood said this. Everyone pinched their chins and looked up at the sky, falling into deep thought.

Finally someone beat his palm: "Don't it!" Petrov said. "Don't we put some ice cubes?" Not only did he agree to do it, he also added.

This suggestion has made many people excited.

But Eastwood shuddered: "Hey...will it be too much..."

A group of people turned around and glared at him: "Don't you want to take the opportunity to take revenge!"

Eastwood raised his hands and he was defeated.

Then everyone looked at George Wood, who had been sitting aside without saying a word. He didn't say anything, but his eyes had already shown their intentions very clearly.

Wood looked at everyone and said, "I'll be responsible for carrying him on."

Everyone laughed.

"That's all. But we have to find someone who trusts the most and is least likely to frame him to lead him out." Eastwood nodded, and after he finished speaking, everyone stared at Beckham at the same time.

Beckham raised his hands and said, "Okay, I know what I should do. But I always feel that it is very dangerous to pick and tease the boss at this time..."

Eastwood seemed very excited: "We don't do anything without risk, it's so boring, right, guys!"

His words were unanimously agreed. So Beckham stood up with everyone's expectations, patted his butt and walked towards Donn.

He had just turned around and was about to walk towards the coaches when he heard someone calling him behind him: "Boss, Boss!"

It's Beckham.

"Ah. David... Although I asked you to call this, I still feel a little uncomfortable every time I hear it..." Tang En turned around and asked. "Is there anything wrong?"

"Um...uh." Beckham looked back at his teammates, but everyone seemed to have not seen him resting on their own.

Tang En followed his gaze and saw nothing strange.

"What's wrong, David?"

"Uh... someone is looking for you." Beckham made up a reason casually.
To be continued...
