Chapter 73 Going Home
Chapter 73 Going home
Some media used "Tony Go Home" as the title for this game.
Don't have his home in Nottingham. He has been busy with national teams recently. He has been living in a hotel in London and hasn't really been home much.
Xianya is not here, and there is no need to go back to that deserted home.
go home……
Tang En murmured. He knew in his heart that Nottingham is probably not going to be his own home now.
When Donn arrived in Nottingham by bus with his team, he was besieged by the media. These days he was either hiding in the hotel to tinker with the roster or hiding in the Kearney base, and the media couldn't reach him at all. Now, he has nowhere to escape in Nottingham. This time he must ask for some very exciting news.
The team will stay in the hotel in Nottingham to prepare for the next day's game. The bus just heard about it, and the reporters waiting at the gate flocked to the road between the car door and the hotel gate.
When Tang En jumped out of the car, he stepped over everyone's heads with a long pole microphone and reached above Tang En. The camera and camera were all facing him, and the security guards and police at the scene were facing a great enemy.
The other players couldn't help but whistle when they saw this scene.
A group of people gathered together and whispered.
"I thought these people were here to interview us... This scene is more glorious than the main force."
"Stop dreaming, these people are all coming for the boss."
"It's indeed the focus of the news."
"Have the coach's big mouth said something recently?"
"Nothing said."
"Nothing said anything will attract so many journalists?"
"Idiot, this is Nottingham. He is back to home court."
The scene was noisy, and Tang En didn't hear the whispers of the players. He was busy dealing with the reporters.
"Coach Done, Coach Done! How does it feel to go back to Nottingham again?"
"It feels good." Tang En answered expressionlessly, and it was obvious at a glance that he did not answer the question seriously.
"Can you explain why you chose not to renew your contract with Nottingham Forest Club?" This question is always the most interesting thing for journalists. Although there are many rumors, they have not been confirmed. They still want to hear the real answer from the person involved.
"This is nothing to talk about." Tang En refused to answer. He didn't want to talk about his conflict with the club. He just didn't want to completely break up the relationship with the club. After all, he had an eleven year relationship with the club. Some things would just become a complete secret.
"Some people say you have conflicts with the club's senior management..."
"It's nothing." Tang En's lies opened his mouth, not even a stumbling block.
"So is it because..."
"Sorry, I refuse to answer all questions about Nottingham Forest." Tang En's face was not very good. It was time for these reporters to know that they were moving forward and retreating.
"But Mr. Tangen, your team is going to play against Nottingham Forest, which is also a problem related to Nottingham Forest. You won't answer..." A reporter smiled and picked up the logical error in Don En's words.
"I mean I don't answer any questions." Tang En glanced at him and squeezed into the hotel lobby under the dual protection of security and police.
The reporter who wanted to tease Tang En just now was choked and stood there, with a stiff expression on his face.
"Wow--" Some players whistled. "It's so cool!"
Carl Spike saw this scene in the crowd but kept laughing. He turned to the camera and said, "Tony Don't really come back." He felt completely relieved. The arrogant and unruly Tang En is back, and he doesn't have to worry that Tang En, who had been dormant for two months, would become a toothless tiger under the control of the FA. That way, it would be no fun.
Tang En returned to the Piaotianyi network, wearing a black suit and sunglasses, he really looked like a gangster godfather.
Burns held the newspaper and looked at Donn on it in a daze.
How does it feel to go home?
He really wanted to ask Tang En this question. But Tang En probably wouldn't come to his bar again. After becoming the head coach of England, he was stared at by the media for twenty-four hours every day. He had no time to come here to chat with his friends. Besides, it's another matter if he can find someone to chat here.
"He still looks so cool." The fat man John next to him came up to take a look at the photo.
Bill's group is gone, so I guess he's discussing making banners and slogans.
"But he offended the media. When he left the Forest Team, few media were saying good things for him." Burns responded.
"Hehe." John laughed, "If Tony cares about what others think, it's not Tony."
"That may not be." Burns shook his head, "Tony will definitely care about the Crimson Field tomorrow."
This also hit John's mind, and the smile on his face disappeared. He remained silent. He just picked up the wine glass and drank the wine.
It is rare for Tang to announce that he will have a day off tomorrow after training, so that the players can rest well. He has no reason. The players have no other ideas except strangeness. Holidays are a good thing, and they can't ask for them.
Tang held up tomorrow's tickets, but he didn't explain.
Originally, there was no value to watch such a game. But he was interested in Tang En, so he wanted to go to the scene to see what trouble Tang En would do here.
Although this was a friendly match, Tang En held a tactical meeting in the evening.
Since the team only has one day to practice together, it is basically impossible to practice any tactics, so Tang En did not arrange any too complicated tactics. He used a parallel position of 442 to fight the wing. These tactics are the most basic and simplest. Even if there is no tacit understanding, players can cooperate, because they have received this kind of training since childhood.
At the meeting, Donn reiterated the significance of the game to those players. It was implied that they would have good results by giving their all.
It seems that he is very reluctant to prepare for this game. Seeing him like this, the player who had been half-believing and half-doubted about Tang En's thoughts had to take it seriously - tomorrow's game is really a great opportunity...
"They wouldn't guess that we would take this game seriously." Tang En thought about it. He affirmed his own statement. "This is just an ordinary game. Although the media is very aggressive in hype, the focus is not on the game. I hope you can seize such an opportunity."
He looked at the players, how much these people really trusted him. He would know after the game.
Of course, he didn't expect everyone to fight against Nottingham Forest. He doesn't have such a reputation in the national team, and the players are not obedient puppets. But all he needs is those who listen to him. People who have the fighting spirit and dare to fight. As for those who are unwilling to do this... I'm sorry, the door of the national team has been permanently closed to you.
This warm-up match is a good opportunity to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. Establishing authority is not just achieved through victory.
At the same time, on the other side, Martin O'Neal is also discussing countermeasures with David Chris Lack against England.
"What do you think England will perform tomorrow's game, David?" O'Neal asked.
Chris Lack knows Donn. When he was speculating on what Donnn would do, he was right to ask him.
Chris Lack was silent for a while, and then said: "The outside world thinks that the focus of this game is not on the game itself, but on the field. We have to use this game to test the team's lineup and the status of the new players after joining. England is all marginal figures. The strength is too weak. But my idea is exactly the opposite of them."
O'Neal looked at him with interest and signaled him to continue.
"Tony Donn is not a person who can follow common sense. This game was his first game, and it is very important. If he wants to make his future work a little easier. This game cannot be done in the formalities. I think he will ask his team to do his best." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, as if thinking about whether the words behind him were correct.
"Then... aim to defeat us." He still said this conclusion.
O'Neal did not object to his statement that seemed like a fantasy, but nodded in praise: "Same as I thought. Tony needs a victory in a game more than us, even if it's just an irrelevant friendly match. The media always stared at him, he was under great pressure, and even such a game requires victory to prove his ability."
O'Neal was very happy that Donn could also be under such pressure, so that he would not feel that he was the only one in the world like a fool.
"Although they will do their best, but we don't need to do it too. Don Eun doesn't have to worry about his subordinates getting hurt, we have to worry. So we still stick to our plans in this game - to inspect the team."
Chris Lark agrees with O'Neal's arrangement. Donne needs to win, and it is urgent. He can do anything to win, but Nottingham Forest does not need to accompany him crazy. This game is one aspect of examining the player's condition, and it is also important to avoid injuries.
In fact, deep down, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the Forest team losing to England. Anyway, the Forest team did not expect this friendly match to change anything, so that it would save itself. It gave Tang En the result he wanted. Everyone was happy.
But O'Neal's subsequent words interrupted his dream.
"Even so, I don't think his England three teams can beat my Nottingham Forest."
Chris Lack turned his head to look at the head coach in front of him. It's been so many days, he heard O'Neal say "My Nottingham Forest".
O'Neal would not say such words in front of other opponents. It seems that this person was also inspired to have a sense of crisis when facing the team's former head coach. It was like the Lion King protecting his territory. Even when facing the former Lion King's provocation, he was unwilling to retreat at all. Is it instinct or responsibility? Chris Lark doesn't know.
Donne did not want to lose this game in order to establish his position in the England team. Martin O'Neal was unwilling to live in Tony Donne's shadow and did not want to lose to Donne's England. It can be said that the former is for survival, while the latter is for honor.
The relationship between these two people is pretty good in private, but they will never show mercy because of this.
He suddenly looked forward to tomorrow's game.
What kind of scene will the Crimson Field be tomorrow?
The game was played in the afternoon, and the temperature in Nottingham was still very high at the end of July. The kick-off time of this game was 4:30 pm. The temperature dropped slightly at that time, but it was still very hot.
Despite the hot weather and the scorching sun, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans who came to watch the game. The special significance of this game attracted almost all Nottingham Forest fans to watch the game, and the media's broadcast car almost surrounded the Crimson Field.
Pepe saw this scene in the bus and smacked his lips and said, "It's been a UEFA Champions League final... It's so crazy."
"We're all here to see the boss?" Bale leaned over to the car window and looked at the fans below.
"Would you like him or shit him?" Gago also joined in the fun, but as soon as he spoke, everyone was silent.
"Uh..." Gago was a little embarrassed. "Okay, I didn't say anything."
He did express everyone's concerns.
"Don't think so much, prepare for the competition." Wood said from the side. He might be trying to make Gago stop thinking about it, but everyone felt that the atmosphere was colder...
When the English bus arrived at the stadium, most fans entered the stadium. However, when Donn got off the car, he still attracted everyone's attention. The media rushed here and he heard some sporadic booing.
He was not a fool, he knew who the booed were targeting. He could only pretend that he didn't hear it, lowered his head and walked quickly towards the corridor.
There was also a reporter asking behind his butt: "Coach Tang En, Coach Tang En! How does it feel to go home?"
This time, Tang En even saved the hypocritical answer. He pretended not to hear it and walked into the corridor and threw the reporter away.
go home?
