Chapter 66 Like and hate

Due to the sudden outbreak of Tang En in the locker room yesterday, the atmosphere on today's training ground was a little dull. Chris Lack originally thought that when the players arrived, Tang En would apologize on the spot, but he didn't expect that Tang En just waved his hand and asked the team to start training normally. He stood aside without saying a word, put on sunglasses, and no one could see his eyes.

This made him a little dissatisfied - why did he have to go back on his word?

But now he has to be responsible for leading the team training, and he knows that he must give Tang En face in front of everyone. If there is anything we have to say privately.

Tang En didn't give him this opportunity. As soon as the training ended, he gathered the team and made a formal apology.

"I have to apologize to you." He said, with some of the players showing a look of surprise on their faces.

"I know I got angry a little too much yesterday... Later, I thought about it and felt that some words were really ugly. I can't treat you like this, because you are all my players, we should share the same joys and sorrows, and we should not scold you because of losing a game." Tang En said, and the surprise on those people's faces became stronger and stronger.

Tang stood behind Tang En, expressionless. He was very familiar with this passage. Yesterday, Tang En recited it at him no less than ten times, and finally he could recite it so smoothly.

"I know that my mouth has caused me a lot of trouble, but it is definitely not my intention to cause trouble for you."

Don't expect that he called Chris Lack in such a low posture. He thought at most, "I'm sorry for what happened yesterday." He didn't expect that he would say so much.

"So I'm officially apologizing to you here. Let's just go through this... But, although I'm wrong in scolding, losing is definitely not a good thing. In the next round of the league, I don't want to lose again..." The last sentence fully demonstrates that Tang En is still a little unwilling.

Anyway. Due to his proactive apology, a small storm passed. The team returned to normal and there were more laughs in training. Tang En was still joking with the people around him, and it looked no different from before.

Tang En did not say that he got angry because of too much pressure. Although he was really angry because of this, he couldn't tell the players. He didn't want to take the initiative to admit that he was out of control because of pressure. In that case, what would the players think of him... Will some people think that their coach is actually a coward who is strong outside and does the trick? Will they feel disappointed, thus losing trust in him, and no longer obey everything he says?

Tang En dared not make this bet with the heart of the people, so he still had to act like "I am not afraid of heaven and earth" to calm the morale of the army.

On March 29, in the last league game before the Champions League quarter-finals, Nottingham Forest easily defeated Portsmouth who came to take revenge at home 2-0.

Perhaps encouraged by Blackburn's victory over Nottingham Forest in the last round, Portsmouth also wanted to take away three-pointers. However, they ignored the fact that the Forest team attached importance to this game.

The Forest team will be very strong when paying attention to their opponents. So they have no suspense about losing. The whole game was under the control of the Forest team, and Portsmouth had no chance at all, so they lost the game.

After the game, Old Redknapp said helplessly: "...Nothing is good to say, the two teams are not of the same level of strength..."

Isn't it? All the Forests' goals are champions, and Portsmouth's top goal may be just to qualify for the League Cup.

The two teams are not a heavyweight opponent at all...

The defeat of Portsmouth made the pressure above Donn's head not continue to increase. Now Nottingham Forest ranks second in the league, and is only three-pointer away from Manchester United, which is the first in the league. The next thing Forest can do is to ensure that it does not make mistakes, and at the same time wait patiently for Manchester United to make mistakes - making two consecutive mistakes.

This is a little low...

Tang En sighed and temporarily let go of the league's worries. Prepare for the Champions League match.

The opponent Real Madrid is the first to go and then to host this time, and Don En's favorite schedule.

Nottingham Forest, after playing the league, flew directly to Madrid, the capital of Spain, where pre-match preparations were made here.

Tony Donne, the Bernabeu is not unfamiliar with it. In fact, there are only a few European giants, and they can always be encountered repeatedly after torturing and turning, but he is indeed destined to be with the La Liga giants Real Madrid.

The first time he met Shania, he took her to Spain for a trip. He came to the Bernabeu Stadium. Later, he led the team to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League and other events many times. In addition, last summer, he also received David Beckham from Real Madrid for free.

Yes, this time when going to Madrid, Beckham surpassed Tony Don and became the focus of the media.

While doing adaptive training at the Bernabeu Stadium, countless media crowded on the sidelines, waiting to interview Beckham. When Donn announced the end of the training, he entered the free interview time. A group of people rushed forward and surrounded David Beckham.

There were even many fans wearing Real Madrid jerseys in the stands holding portraits and jerseys of Beckham. Welcome the Englishman.

"I am very grateful to Real Madrid fans for remembering me. The four years in Real Madrid were wonderful. I am proud that I have played for this great team. "The interview was held on the side of the training ground. Beckham, who had just finished training, still had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, and his training suit was soaked in sweat. Because of the low training intensity, he was still a little breathing when he spoke, but he still showed a charming smile without any impatientness. The sun shone on his face, and the smile seemed to be warm enough to melt people's hearts, and a scream suddenly sounded next to him.

Donn educated Wood next to him: "George, look at David Beckham, this is the star. He speaks very well, pleases everyone, and does not offend anyone... Your image gives others a feeling of keeping people from thousands of miles away, which I don't think is very good."

George retorted: "You offended everyone who can offend, aren't you still a star?"

"Uh..." Tang En was speechless for a moment. After not finding the words to fight back. He looked at Beckham, who was surrounded by everyone and smiled, and asked Wood: "Do you want to be liked or hated?"

"I don't know." Wood answered very quickly.

"You don't know?" Tang En was a little surprised.

"It's better to be liked or to be hated?" Wood asked back.

Tang En blurted out: "Of course it's better to be liked by others."

"Then why do you seem to be happy to be hated?"

Tang En was speechless again, and he suddenly realized that George Wood was getting sharper and sharper...

"Ah, uh, this... that... Actually..." Tang En grunted for a long time. Finally, he thought of an excuse, "When I hate certain people, I hope that the people I hate also hate me. When I like certain people, I hope that the people I like also like me... It sounds a bit difficult to say, but that's what it means anyway."

"Then don't you think it's a bit wishful thinking?"

"Hey, George!" Tang En was a little annoyed. Although I know that this is wishful thinking, you can't say it so bluntly...

Wood seemed to not hear the dissatisfaction in Tangen's tone. He looked at Beckham. He said to himself: "Woocks said he hoped that I would maintain my true nature, but I don't know what true nature is. Sometimes I hope that everyone hates me, and sometimes I hope that everyone likes me... Mom said, I should try to make everyone like me, but I think it's difficult. Because sometimes to make others like you, you have to do something you don't like..."

"Hey, George."

"Um?"

"You are more wishful thinking than me."

"Maybe... Anyway, I think if a celebrity has to do a lot of things he doesn't like, I would rather not be a celebrity. Actually, I don't want to be a celebrity. As long as I have money, it's good to make money."

"Where can you make money if you don't become a celebrity?"

"It's good now..."

"Aren't you a star now? Wherever you go, someone will ask you to sign. The old man Wux also signed a few business contracts for you. Do you know what those companies are from? But they are all among the best in their respective industries. Do you like it when you attend those business events?"

Wood didn't answer, just watched Beckham get trance.

After a while, he said, "Maybe I will hate it in the future..."

Tang En nodded, this is really honest. When people are not famous, they want to become famous. They look forward to becoming a big star and becoming the focus of attention. If you fart, you will be watched in the media and think it is very awesome and amazing. But after you become really famous, you will slowly realize that being famous is such a painful thing... You have no privacy at all, and everything is exposed to the public. Even if you dig a nostril at home and are secretly photographed, you will be ridiculed and criticized, and those people who laugh and criticize you will take it for granted. Because "you are a public figure."

Tang En experienced this mentality change. When he just came here, he wanted to become famous. Now, he began to feel that becoming famous is not a good thing. When he went out to give a Turkish female fan's mobile phone, he would be regarded by the media as a "tricked girlfriend". Fortunately, Xianya knew the whole story, otherwise she would not know how much she would have to worry about.

He is quite cautious about his private life, but if someone else points to this and makes a reason for "because you are a public figure", he thinks he will definitely say "go to your mom public figure" in person.

Wait... Why do I think if Shania doesn't know the whole story, she will be in trouble...

Beckham finally got rid of those reporters. The smile on his face never disappeared from beginning to end. He looked very patient, very kind and gentle, and won the favor of many people. After the media interviewed Beckham, they turned to interview Don Eun. They suddenly felt that they had gone from the sunny spring to the howling winter with the cold wind.

Tang En said with a stern face: "Don't ask me the lineup, don't ask me about the game tactics, don't ask me how sure I am to win..."

"Then what else can we ask?" Some of the reporters said dissatisfied.

"Ah, we can talk about today's weather." A smile reappeared on Don En's face. "Madrid is so sunny, I like sunshine. Madrid is a very good city. What do you think..."

George Wood began to pack up his things and leave here, and not everyone would be interviewed by reporters. Although he was the captain, he was too low-key. And even if someone came to interview him, he would just deal with it and let it go. He was not David Beckham, nor Tony Don.

Beckham came over and seemed to be leaving.

The two walked side by side. When they reached the door, Beckham was stopped by a group of fans. They lay on the railing of the stands, poked their hands down, scrambling to get Beckham's signature.

Beckham was not impatient at all. He stopped and took the pen handed over by the fans with a smile, signing the autograph at the place where they asked for it.

Because George Wood and Beckham were together, he was stopped and could not leave. He had to stand aside and wait for Beckham to sign.

If the security guards hadn't come up in time, I'm afraid this signature activity would have ended.

Walking into the corridor and getting rid of those enthusiastic fans, Beckham smiled apologetically at George Wood next to him: "Sorry, let you wait there too..."

Wood shook his head, saying he didn't mind.

Yes, he also had no impatient expression on his face when he was waiting there, because he just walked away for a moment.

He thought of someone, who was the first person to ask him for an autograph, and the first person to admit him was earlier than Tony Don.

What would happen now if that didn't happen?

George Wood had never thought of such a boring problem before, because people could not be resurrected. But when he saw Beckham surrounded by a group of fans and asked for autographs, he naturally thought of it.

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

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

——George, you must become a big star!

In that piece of white, will there be a little red?

"It's good to sign an autograph for fans, I won't feel impatient."

Beckham smiled: "Everyone says you are very vicious, you are the kind of English traditional evil guy. They compare you with Winnie Jones and Savage. Why don't you try to refute it? We all know you are not."

Wood shook his head: "I hope the people I hate hate hate me."

"George..."

"What's up?"

"You and Tony...ah, no, boss, it's really like it."

"..." Wood defaulted...
