Chapter 88 The national team has been assembled

The Nottingham Forest plane did not fly directly to Birmingham Airport, but landed at London Heathrow Airport. In fact, there were not many players back with the team this time, and most of the players with national team competition tasks parted ways with the team in Monaco.

Only five people who were selected into the English national team roster followed the team back to the UK. Then they broke up with the team in London and rushed to Kearney in North London. It was usually Arsenal's training base, but now it has become a national team exclusive.

When we parted at the airport, Flores looked at the five people who got together and suddenly felt that he should work hard to expand his influence in the locker room. Now in the locker room, the players are more willing to talk about Tony Donn rather than himself. This makes him feel a little savory.

So he walked up, patted Bentley on the shoulder, and said to them in less skillful English: "Young men, be careful not to get hurt."

Such caring words did not receive the kind response they deserved. The England internationals who were chatting looked back at their head coaches without responding.

Even Wood looked at Flores expressionlessly, a little rude.

It was still Joe Matok, as the youngest international player in his seniority, who broke the embarrassment with a smile: "We will pay attention, boss."

Then the group of people turned around and got together and didn't know what they were muttering.

Flores, who felt embarrassed, was embarrassed to stand here. If they were discussing some privacy topics... As the head coach, he would be considered to be deliberately eavesdropping, which would be very unfavorable to managing the locker room. The players all have their own little secrets and do not want the head coach to know.

He left in disappointment and returned to his side.

Chris Lack saw all this scene. He felt that Flores was so pitiful in his heart. Because it was him who accidentally compared Flores with Tony and Tony Don just now. At that time, he was thinking that if Tony was going up, then the group of players would be very happy to let him join the discussion and joke unscrupulously. The people around him looked at him.

This was the norm for the Forest team in the past.

Now it has become a distant memory. The Forest team now looks harmonious on the surface, because of its good recent results. The players also said in interviews that Flores is a skilled coach, and the team's negative news has been much less than in the previous three months.

But when the time to test people and places is never smooth, once the team's performance goes wrong, Flores and the Forest will have to bear tremendous pressure. The media and fans who are ready to move will be happy to resummon Tony Don and recall their glorious years.

While Tony Donn portrayed himself as the King of the team, he also became a sword of Damocles on the head of the team.

This is really ironic.

If you want the Forest team to completely get rid of Tony Don't have the influence. A season is probably not enough...

After Flores walked back to his seat, the players started their conversation again. They were indeed talking about Donne. Except for Wood, everyone was looking forward to and excited about this reunion - after more than three months, they were finally able to play football under the boss again!

"I want to give the boss a hug!" Aaron Mitcher couldn't wait to announce. Just like Pepe did in the locker room. He still regrets that he had let Pepe steal the limelight alone at the beginning. "As an apology! As a person I once suspected him!"

"Okay, Aaron. You don't have to shout so loudly. Do you want the whole world to know that you were sorry for you?" Bentley felt that Mitcher was sometimes like a child.

Mitcher's voice was a little lowered, and he muttered, "I have to give my boss a hug anyway."

"Speaking of it..." Bentley touched his chin. "When the boss was still there, I felt that it was nothing to hear him speak in the locker room. But three months have passed, and I suddenly missed him in the locker room..."

"Hey, do you think the boss will take special care of us?" Joe Matok suddenly asked this question, which made everyone stunned.

Originally, Matok was the marginal figure of the national team. In front of him, there were Ashley Cole and Leiden Barnes, and Lescott could also play left-back. If it weren't for Ashley Cole's injury, he might not have been selected for the roster this time. Matok felt that he was selected for the national team because of the "Forest Team Player". It would be better to be selected for the national team, but if he was joining the national team for this reason... he would probably be burdened with a heavy burden.

"I don't think so. The boss is not a head coach who treats some people in particular." Bentley denied Matok's idea. "Besides, if we take special care of us, how will the media outside criticize him?"

Abang Laho shrugged: "That's not necessarily. The head is a very special person. He never cares about the media's remarks, and he even likes to fight against the media. I think the head is a person with a clear distinction between love and hate. As long as we perform well, I think we have a great chance of starting the show!"

George Wood didn't want to join their discussion because he thought the topic was too boring. But he was dragged in by Mitcher, who was still a child.

"George. What do you think?"

For a moment, the argument disappeared, and everyone turned their heads to look at him.

When dealing with his agent, media, and even that man, Wood can put on a bad face and no one wants to pay attention to him. But he can't do this when dealing with his teammates and playing side by side with his field partners.

"I...I agree with David." Wood pointed at Bentley and kicked the football back.

Everyone knows that Wood is not a person who talks a lot. Seeing that he expressed his opinions, he didn't bother him much.

The group of people chatted for a while and then prepared to get in the bus and set off.

Mitcher was still feeling a little unsatisfied. He sighed: "I met the boss again in the national team. I never thought about it before..."

This touched the reality that Tang En was no longer in the Forest Team. Everyone suddenly had no interest in continuing to talk.

So he came to Kearney in silence all the way.

Kearney training base is in Hertfordshire, only a forty-five minutes drive from Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. This is now the training base for the England national team. Arsenal’s first team has three training grounds, and they are now used by the national team. Those first team players in those places where there is no national team game task will follow the second team to train. Don’t worry about the burden on the second team. A team like Arsenal, even the substitute players in the first team are international players in their respective countries, so in fact, there are very few people who stay here, and there may only be injured players left.

The training base covers an area of ​​143 acres, of which forty-five are forests. The environment is very good, there are no tall buildings around, the view is wide and the air is fresh. It is quiet like a paradise. Training in such a place is a pleasure. Compared with Kearney, Wilford in Nottingham Forest is much more stingy. No wonder Evan Doggety plans to build a new training base. It seems that he plans to fully achieve the "gift level" in hardware.

Kearney is the best training base in the UK. If the new training base in Evan Dogerty is built, Kearney will be second. So far, no other training base can shake its position.

Ten standard stadiums are equipped with underground drainage facilities and an automated sprinkler system. Two of the stadiums also have underground heating facilities. Even if it snows, there is no need to worry about outdoor training not being able to be carried out.

Therefore, the FA England chose Kearney as the designated training base for England team.

When Wood and his group of five arrived in Kearney, England had just finished their morning training and the players returned to the locker room one after another. Only a few were stopped by the media for interviews.

Their appearance attracted the attention of the media present. If they weren't interviewing the players, they would have pounced on it.

At this moment, Des Walker appeared between the two and intercepted them.

"Tony wants to meet you guys." He said to Wood.

Bentley whistled behind him. He said he was seeing them, but in fact he knew he was just to see Wood.

"Put things in the dormitory and come over."

Wood didn't ask idiotic questions like "Where is the dormitory? Where is he?" It was not the first time he came to the national team to participate in the training camp. He pulled up his suitcase and turned around and left with his teammates.

The photojournalist chased after him and took more than a dozen photos before he stopped.

"Now the national team is all here. Hello, I have insider information..." After the interview, several reporters gathered together to chat.

When others heard him say this, they immediately became interested. Because this reporter belongs to the Sun.

"George Wood and Tony Done have a conflict!" The reporter said mysteriously. He was afraid that these people would use it as his insider information. Because the Sun has decided to report this news in a newspaper tomorrow. He was waiting for Wood to come to the national team before publishing it, so that it would be more effective.

"Huh? It's true or false?"

"No way? Didn't they say they were like father and son?"

"Wood was dug by Tang En, and it is said that Tang En and his mother have a little unclear relationship..."

The reporters were startled.

Everyone's reaction satisfied the reporter.

"What's impossible? Didn't Casano in Italy regard Capello as his father? What's the result? Didn't he turn against him?" The Sun reporter clapped his face. "Maybe in the national team, the relationship between Wood and Donn will become a time bomb. Now Wood's role in the team is getting bigger and bigger. It has become a barometer of the team's performance. He is in good condition, and the team's performance is good; he is in bad condition... Capello is the lesson of the past."

The Sun reporter laughed.

Everyone understands his performance. Because Tang En and Sunjoy had a feud, both sides disliked each other and had to spit on each other when they seized the opportunity.

Thinking of this relationship, some reporters suddenly felt that the Sun was deliberately trying to get along with Tang En again, and the credibility of the rumors of Wood and Tang En's disagreement suddenly dropped by 50 percentage points.

The Sun reporter saw that someone was skeptical of him. He didn't defend himself, but just said, "Hey, let's wait and see!"

Those reporters were still kept in the dark. The Sun has paparazzi all over England. It is guaranteed that the materials you get are the most authentic, freshest and most confidential!

As soon as the newspaper comes out tomorrow, let Tony Donn take a good look!

George Wood led his teammates to knock on the door of Donn's temporary office.

Donn and Chris Lack were chatting and laughing inside.

When he saw five players from Nottingham Forest appear in front of him, Donn stood up from his seat and walked towards them step by step with his arms wide open.

"Welcome, guys."

Originally, Wood was standing at the front, and if they wanted to hug them, they would be the first to hug each other. But Aaron Mitcher was afraid that he would not be able to fulfill his promise, and suddenly came out from behind and opened his arms to meet Donne.

"Boss!" he shouted excitedly, and then hugged Tang En.

Don Eun didn't let anyone see the change in his expression - he originally planned to take this opportunity to hug Wood and soften his attitude first, but he didn't expect that Mitcher, the excited boy, ran out first. He had to make the mistake...

"Oh - be gentle, Aaron!" Tang En screamed. Mitcher exerted force and hurt Tang En.

"Ah, sorry, sorry...boss!" Mitcher quickly let go of his hands, a little frightened.

But Tang En looked at him with a smile, his eyes as if he was looking at his own child.

"You're a little tired." He said.

"Not tired!" Mitcher shook his head vigorously.

Tang En smiled and said nothing. He patted his head and then found a second person.

Bentley did not give Done a hug to Mitcher, but just looked at Done. “Long time no see, boss.”

"You only met me once half a month ago."

"It was...an opponent at that time, it was different this time."

Hey Bentley was Abanglaho, Joe Matok.

Finally, he came to George Wood.

But Tang En's smile disappeared because Wood had no intention of laughing on his face.

The atmosphere that was still very harmonious just now suddenly became awkward.

The four teammates standing next to them tried not to look at them, and their eyes were staring around to hide their embarrassment.

Tang En didn't know what he should say. He reached out and just patted Wood on the shoulder and let go.

Then he turned to the others: "There is a training class in the afternoon. Be careful not to get hurt. Go back and have a good rest."

The meeting ends here.

After the players left, Chris Lack asked Donn strangely: "I thought you were going to leave George alone and say something."

"It's so big here." Tang En pointed to the training base. "What news can be hidden? I don't want others to think that I'm specializing, which is not conducive to the team's unity."

"Then George..." Walker was still worried that Wood would have other thoughts.

"Of course I'll talk to him, but it's not now..."

Tang En murmured, his eyes wandering.
Chapter completed!
