Chapter 10: Idiots and awesome

When the players of both sides stood near the center circle and waited for the start of the second half, Don Eun changed four people in one breath. Four players wearing Nottingham Forest yellow away jerseys stood on the sidelines, waiting in line to enter.

Kompany replaced the elderly Ayala, Akinfeev replaced Van der Sar, Lennon replaced David Beckham, and George Wood replaced Sun Jihai.

Beckham's outcome made fans very dissatisfied with Don Eun, and booed him constantly.

"They are not booing you, David." When Beckham walked down and shook hands with Done, Done smiled. "It is booing me, blaming me for replacing you too early."

"I can understand, boss."

"Well, dry the water." He handed the towel himself.

Wood took the captain's armband from Beckham, tied it up, and ran to the court. During the halftime break, he did not express his opinion on how to do the first half, but Tang En knew that this kid must have a sense of enthusiasm.

During the break, Tang En asked the team to strengthen long shots and still only go to the middle.   The situation was not started in the first half, in addition to the players' fear of injury and the referee's whistle blowing, it also has something to do with Tang En's request to the team to attack the middle.                                                                                       �

In fact, even if the main players didn't make trouble during the halftime break, Tang En had a way to make a comeback in the second half. So he specially left the substitute lineup in the second half. These players played few games in normal times and were very eager to prove that their players were sometimes more powerful than the main players, so that they could play the second half, and then called the leaders of the Football Association a good plan, which Tang En prepared from the beginning.

That's right, he didn't want to listen to Allen from the beginning. He left any face to the Chinese Football Association. The face of the Chinese Football Association has nothing to do with him. He didn't directly refuse at that time, just didn't want to argue with Allen directly. He had a bad temper and a straightforward personality, which does not mean that he wouldn't be clever.

When Chinese Olympic team players and most fans were still unconscious in their dreams of the first half, Van der Fate's long shot hit the post had already sounded the alarm for them.

In the fifth minute of the second half, less than a minute after Van der Fat hit the post, Ribery suddenly cut inside after dribbled the ball from the wing. Just when the national Olympic team players thought he was going to shoot from a long time, he pushed a straight line. Eastwood, who was diagonally inserted, turned around and shot the ball. The football rolled past the national Olympic goalkeeper who was unable to react and hit the net.

Nottingham Forest scored back.

So far, it is still in line with the results that Xie Guanlong and Allen know.

But in Allen's mind, a very bad premonition gradually emerged.

In the eleventh minute, Li Weifeng pushed down Lennon, who was planning to break through forcibly in front of the penalty area. The referee blew his foul and awarded the Forest a free kick twenty-seven meters away from the goal.

Gareth Bale stood up and took the penalty. The football drew a beautiful arc and hung straight on the dead corner!

Nottingham Forest completed the overtake in six minutes.

After this goal, Donn made another substitution. The goal-winning hero Bale was replaced by Barnes, Van der Fate was replaced by Petrov, and Ribery moved to the middle to play the midfield.

Then. Petrov, who had just replaced the court, used a brutal and unreasonable crossing on the wing, broke through the Chinese players who were defending him by speed and then sent a cross. Van Nistrouy beat Li Weifeng and pushed the ball into the goal.

In a blink of an eye, the score has changed from 1:2 to 4:2.

Xie Guanlong, who was sitting on the rostrum, had long disappeared. His face was infinitely close to the weather in Ningbo today.

Allen sat next to Evan Dogerty. In the past, he was Xie Guanlong. He could feel the emotional change that was happening in the heart of the Football Association Chairman at this moment. Because he was also a little annoyed.

Tony Donne put him in a row!

Generally speaking, the score is still acceptable to the hosts until the end of the game. After all, they scored two goals in the European Championship, allowing the opponent to score four goals. But Tang En did not want to give up. He continued to send players full of hunger at the game and let them attack the Chinese National Olympic Team, which had been beaten without confidence.

Bentner appeared to replace Van Nystruei, Al Shavin replaced Eastwood. Rafinia was replaced by Zimbonda, and Weis Morgan replaced Pique - the current national Olympic team cannot threaten the Nottingham Forest defense at all, and most of the stumbled offenses stopped on the line of George Wood. George Wood. George Wood looked very relaxed in defense.

At the last moment of the game, Nottingham Forest scored two more goals. Bentner scored a goal in the penalty area, and then headed the ball with his strong body.

When the Forest scored its fifth goal, half of the fans in the audience started cheering and applauding every performance by the Forest players.

Against this backdrop, Xie Yalong's face turned black. He pursed his lips tightly, how ugly it would be.

The players of the National Olympic Team still fought at the beginning. In the end, they found that the gap in strength between the two sides was too big, and even the idea of ​​fighting was gone. Their offense was completely out of shape, and their defense was more like doing their best.

Seeing this scene, Tang En shook his head below: "In this way, the goal set by the Football Association for them was to reach the semi-finals of the Olympic men's football match..."

"Are they crazy?" Tang asked.

"No, this is their normal attitude. If one day you hear the Football Association say that we should be down-to-earth and do something practical for Chinese football, you can call the mental hospital and ask them to send a car to the Football Association to pick up people."

Tang was amused by Tang En's words.

Tang En glanced at him: "Is it ridiculous? Shouldn't you feel sad and angry when encountering such a thing? But Chinese fans have no strength to be angry and scolded. They can only express their emotions in this way that seems ironic. Look..." He pointed to the stands, "Now almost everyone is starting to drink the national Olympic team's lottery, this is how they express their emotions. It's not that they are forced to see no hope at all. Who would want to vent in this extreme way? The team with their own national flag on their chests... It's so sad, so pitiful." He murmured.

Tang stopped laughing and was silent. His understanding and feelings about Chinese football were far from keeping up with the "British man" around him. But he could imagine what Tang En had to do with Chinese football in the past. Maybe he had cried, laughed, scolded, longed for and hoped, but now, he is here to tell other people's affairs in a cold tone.

How sad and pitiful?

How lamentable!

The commercial game ended with Nottingham Forest's 6-2 victory over the Chinese Olympic team. After the game, all the players of the Forest team went hand in hand to the stands to thank the fans. This is their tradition and something that Don En asked them to do.

Originally, these people thought that after slaughtering their motherland team so unpretentiously, these people who booed them in the first half must boo even more. But what surprised and moved them was that Chinese fans stood in the stands to applaud the Nottingham Forest players who played seriously and were doing their best in the game.

"Actually, they understand football very much..." Sun Jihai murmured while thanking the fans with his teammates.

The other side was feeling uncomfortable, and Xie Guanlong stood on the rostrum out of etiquette to applaud. A fan who could not wait to make a new slogan and put it on the stand below the rostrum, specifically displayed for the officials on the rostrum.

"Thank you Guanlong's idiot! Football Association idiot!"

Just one sentence expresses the thoughts of all the fans present.

The press conference after the game was very lively.                                                                                                                          

According to the traditional Chinese thinking, when the guest comes to the host, he must take care of his master's face. Just win the game. If you win a few fewer people, everyone will look good on their faces...

But Tony Donn and his Nottingham Forest disregard this.

The first sentence Tang En said surprised the Chinese reporters present: "I am not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, so we should have scored a few more goals. But now this score makes me quite satisfied. We showed the strength of the European champion team in the second half."

Tang En knew that some Chinese media would feel unhappy, but he had his own way to block them.

"Before the game, some media were worried that the Forest team would not work hard in the commercial game, which would greatly reduce the excitement of the game. But now I think everyone can let go of this worry. We are a professional team. We abide by professional ethics. I am very happy to have such a wonderful game for the Chinese fans!" He smiled and opened his arms, looking very proud. "After the game, the Chinese fans stood up and applauded my team. I was deeply moved, which also shows that we have won the recognition and recognition of the fans with practical actions! Chinese fans..." He gave a thumbs up and spoke authentic Mandarin, "Awesome!"

This passage and this performance left the media ready to attack speechless.

Only Tang Jing laughed below, this is Tony Tang En. You don’t know if you should like him or hate him and hate him... But whether you like him or hate him. He lives in front of you so truly, and if you have a bad heart, he might really make him angry.

In the past, I would fight him with young people, but now I can’t get angry at him except for laughing. Because he is not targeting you alone... Maybe he targets the whole world?

Puppet Mr. Duikovic had nothing to say. This game had nothing to do with him, but he had to stand up and accept everyone's scolding after the game. The Chinese Football Association is really hard to get... "They played very well, we tried our best. But the gap in strength is too big and we can do nothing..." He rubbed his temples and answered the reporter's questions weakly. It seemed as if he was muttering to himself.

Tang En glanced at him.  I don't think this old man was so pitiful.

If it were him, how could he endure such humiliation? He would have scolded the Football Association for a long time. Then he got up and left. Who do you like to play with, I won’t accompany you!

The last mission in China ended. The players were given a night's rest time, and before 11:30, they could go out for free.

And Tony Donn was once again invited to his room by Allen. Some things must be explained clearly.

Unlike last time, there was also club chairman Evan Dogette sitting in the room this time.

"The atmosphere is not right." He did not rush in, but instead leaned over the door frame and leaned in and looked at the two of them and asked tentatively.

"Tony, Tony. What do you want me to say about you?" Allen shook his head and sighed. Regarding this head coach. Sometimes he really has no temper. When he was on the court, he was so angry that he was eager to find Tang En to question him in person. But now seeing him like this, he didn't know where to go when he was ready to roar.

Tang En quickly laughed: "Don't, I know what you are asking me for. Actually, Alan, don't blame me for lying to you. If I refused at the beginning, then the itinerary and various activities you arranged in the past few days will be affected. Think calmly. Is that true?"

Allen doesn't have to calm down and knows that of course this is the case. Two of the most important departments in the team have conflicts in person, and it is a fantasy to have no impact. If everyone is fighting, maybe many arranged activities will be forced to be cancelled.

In order to come to China, he has studied the fact that many European teams came to China to find gold in recent years. For example, in the summer of 2005, Real Madrid visited China for the second time, and originally arranged all players to go to China's national TV stations to record the program with Real Madrid fans selected from the country. But it was because of the direct conflict between Real Madrid's Business Department and the Athletics Department. The Athletics Department firmly disagrees with the team's TV program recording when they are tired, and forcibly cancels the itinerary. The end result was that Real Madrid broke the appointment to record the recording site, leaving a very bad image in the minds of Chinese fans.

Real Madrid has a deep-rooted position in football. They are rich and powerful, so they can't take this little impact to heart. But Nottingham Forest, who is new to the Chinese market, cannot act carelessly.

"I'm not an impulsive person, I have considered it. So I promised you at that time, because I didn't want to affect your other plans. But I really couldn't agree to this matter, it violated my bottom line. I don't know what you think, Allen. But for me, who cares about honor, it's like making me betray the team. I can't do this, and my players don't agree. You're not in the locker room at the halftime. Everyone thinks we played badly in the first half, and they don't want to end the game like this..." He shrugged and said nothing more.

Allen stood there and didn't know what to say.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang En continued: "Allen, you know this team. The whole world probably knows what kind of team Nottingham Forest is. I have no intention of blaming you for deliberately trying to go against you. But the Chinese Football Association's requirement is too much and I can't accept it. The fault is that they are not doing anything wrong. They do not follow the rules of football. Then they have to pay the price. I know more about the Chinese Football Association organization than you. They have become a habit of manipulating games and leagues in China. Now they think they can still manipulate us?"

"But, Tony. We will open a football school in China, which is absolutely impossible to avoid the Chinese Football Association. You now..." Allen finally had the ability to think, and he still spoke very harshly.

Tang En smiled, and laughed happily. “Are you worried that I would anger the Football Association? No, no. Alan. You don’t know enough about this institution. The only person who is angry with me is the chairman, don’t worry. His term is about to arrive, and it’s at the end of this year... I don’t know what will happen if I change the term. Now it’s too early to assert everything.” He blinked. “The chairman of the Chinese Football Association has been transferred from other institutions to work for a few years and get enough political achievements. They don’t care about how Chinese football is like.”

Evan was amazed by the side, this kind of thing was indeed very new to him.

Only when Allen heard Tang En say this could he ease his tone. “This is incredible.”

"Ha, if you learn more about this institution, you will find more incredible things. Some things will make you feel that you shouldn't have happened on Earth at all."

But Allen soon discovered a new problem: "Wait. If they change leaders, then my efforts to do the first thing I did?"

"The cooperation agreed upon with the institutions should not be affected in major aspects. Don't have to be too stiff and you won't be stuck in other small places." Tang En thought for a while before saying.

Evan, who had been watching quietly, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, Allen, the matter has been resolved successfully. I said that Tony must have his considerations. To be honest, I think the suggestion put forward by the Chinese Football Association is very stupid, but fortunately Tony didn't follow it."

Allen pretended to be angry: "It's all my own problem after saying this for a long time?"

"Ahem..." Evan quickly covered up with a cough, "This trip to China is perfect, Allen. Originally, some people were worried that China's commercial football game would be cold, but we made it very hot this time. I heard that Chelsea is already considering an official visit to China... These are the best affirmations for you."

Tang En also spoke next to him: "That's right. You are the best in this aspect of your ability.  "

"You only deal with the head coaches, Tony." Allen was not angry, and he said to Done: "No matter what, you did this today and made me very lacking in 'mianzi', 'mianzi'."

After staying in China for a while, he could understand what "face" is.

Tang En pretended not to understand: "What is that? Is the noodles?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid, Tony."

"Okay okay, in order to make up for your 'face', I decided to invite you to have noodles." Tang En raised his hand and surrendered.

"Is pasta? I'm going to vomit that thing..."

"No, Japanese ramen!"
