Chapter 95: Reunion with Bell

Although Joe Matok is his substitute in Nottingham Forest, the little monkey envies him. Because this substitute left-back can get in close contact with the boss, listen to his teachings in the locker room, joke with him, and play football under him.

For Gareth Bell, these may be treatments that he will never enjoy in the future.

In the Nottingham Forest built by Don En, there are many players with Don En. But there are not many who have a good relationship with him that exceeds the boundaries between ordinary coaches and players. Gareth Bale is one of them. For him, being able to play professional football, winning so many championships and honors, and becoming a world-renowned left-back is all related to Tony Don En.

If the boss hadn't run to Southampton on a whim, he wouldn't have met his father, and there wouldn't have been the series of stories that followed. For Bell, the boss had the kindness of knowing and meeting him. In China, he was committed to "a scholar who died for his confidant". Although there was no such idiom in the UK, they also understood this principle.

For a professional player, meeting a head coach who knows himself and likes him is simply the greatest happiness in his career.

He has been happy for eleven years.

When the Forest internationals returned to the team, Bale was very happy to hear that Wood had reconciled with the boss, so he pestered Wood all day long and asked him to talk about things in the England national team, which was actually mainly about things related to the boss. Wood didn't tell him, so he went to find someone else.

Bentley was annoyed by him, so he took the "national interests" as a shield.

"The next game is for you, little monkey. Do you want to find out our tactical secrets?"

"Who wants it?" Bell said proudly, "Is there any secret in England to us Welsh people? I just want to know how the boss deals with those reporters."

"I didn't follow him to the press conference, how do I know? Go and ask Gerald!"

"You should hear some rumors or something?"

"Oh, you're so annoying, little monkey! You asked you to choose England. You didn't do it, you had to go to Wales. You couldn't even play the European Cup..."

"You have to worry!" Bell glared at Bentley fiercely, turned his head and walked away.

Bentley touched the back of his head, looked at Bell's walk away, and said to himself in confusion: "Have I said the wrong thing?"

Tony Donn has gone, and the team's England internationals still have a chance to reunite with him in the national team. And what about himself?

Bale has never regretted his choice to play for Wales, but he hopes that Don can coach Wales...

He really wanted to give him a hug after meeting the boss on the field like Pepe. But that game will definitely not work in a week. It was a match between countries. He represented Wales, not him personally.

So he likes the boss, and he will do his best to help his team defeat England in this game.

He also wants to participate in a World Championship...

England's away challenge to Wales is the third round of the European Cup qualifiers and the second match in this qualifier.

Wales has never been a strong team. Even Giggs was in his peak state, they were unable to compete with European powers. So the English didn't take this neighbor to heart. They were all talking about the next game, going away to challenge Serbia on October 20th. That was a tough battle.

Unlike Macedonia, Don did not avoid talking about this opponent. On the contrary, he mentioned several Welsh players in an interview, among which the main left-back Gareth Bale of Wales was highlighted.

"...I coached Bale, and that was a very beautiful memory. I understand his characteristics, and I also understand Wales' characteristics. After all, many of them play football in the Premier League, and I can observe them up close. This is different from Macedonia. Bale is an excellent player. There is no doubt about this when playing football under my hands. He also does a great job in Wales. He is alone in the entire Wales' left offense and defense. We will find ways to watch him..."

Then Tang En recalled a lot of details about the Forest team and Bale.

It looks very warm, right?

But Bell's mind was very clear, and he knew that the boss was having a psychological warfare again.   What did he want to do in the past? Isn't he just hoping to disturb my mood?

Bell doesn't eat this set.

When he had not yet gone to the Welsh national team to report, he was interviewed by reporters at the gate of Wilford. The media wanted to hear how he responded to the mentor's remarks.

"Although Flores is my current head coach, it's really a pleasant eleven years with Donn. But this won't be a barrier to the game next week. I will definitely go all out to win because he taught us - no matter what the situation is, I will prove that I haven't forgotten this."

Bell spoke very seriously, with no laughing expression on his face.

Bentley saw him being interviewed by the side and muttered, "Something wasn't right since that day...hat I was so excited?" Bell hadn't spoken to him since that incident.

"You idiot!" Matok patted his head from the side, "It's a pain in Gareth's heart that has never participated in the World Series. You have to expose his scars."

"I'm so annoyed by him..." Bentley thought about it now, and felt that his words were a little heavy at that time.

"I understand your misses for your boss very much, but..." Gago suddenly appeared behind them, shocking the two of them.

"But what?" Bentley asked.

Gago frowned: "The little monkey talked about how the leader is good in front of the media, and would not forget his teachings. What would you say that this voice would be like when you heard Mr. Flores' ears?"

The other two looked at each other and thought that Bell said this was really inappropriate.

They looked over there, and Bell was still talking about expectations for the game in front of the reporters.

In the last round of the league before the national team match day, Gareth Bale took the bench. Joe Matok was the one who replaced him.

Flores explained that this was "the normal rotation of the team". But it was about to be a two-week league quit. What did he rotate at this time? Will the national team rotate? When did it start? The club's head coach also understands the work of the national team's head coach? The media are not fools. It's okay if the Forest team won this game, but if they lose, the reporters prepared a truck of questions to bomb Flores, a foreigner who has not yet learned to speak English.

Perhaps only Flores himself and Nottingham Forest players understand why the stable main left-back suddenly came on the bench.

To eliminate Tony Donn's influence, sometimes it takes a little toughness.

Bell sat silently on the bench, and the TV camera swept over him several times. He seemed to be worried.

Perhaps after this game, the news that he and the head coach would be spread in conflict. Who made him publicly express his nostalgia and love for the former head coach during an interview? Isn’t this clearly not giving face to the current head coach?

When Bale was in a daze on the bench, his team was led by Arsenal 2:0 at Emirates Stadium.

After all, Joe Matok is far from Bale in terms of personal abilities. Arsenal regards him as the target of his key strike. One of the two goals comes directly from the wing, and the other is indirect.

Tony Donn and Des Walker watched the game in the stands box at Emirates Stadium. They wanted to inspect the performance of the two teams in China. In addition, he also wanted to see Bale's performance and whether it was affected by his previous remarks. Unexpectedly, Flores did not give face, and Bale did not go there at all.

"It's just a fool." Don Eun complained, "He still does this in a game like Arsenal. It's simply a desperate situation."

"Didn't you declare that you don't care about what's going on in Nottingham Forest?" Walker teased.

"I'm worried that Flores will lose all the international players in this way. He can attack Bale today. Who knows if he will target Wood, Bentley, Mitcher and the others in the future?"

Walker also felt that Don Eun was right, and he didn't say anything.

George Wood scored a goal with a long shot near the end of the game, but it was just a goal to save face. Arsenal easily defeated Nottingham Forest at home 3-1, which was also the second consecutive defeat by Flores coaching the team.

"Bentley's performance is not good either... it is far worse than Walcott..." After the game, Don stood up and said to Walker next to him, "If nothing unexpected happens, Bentley will not start in the game with Wales."

"Matok is still a little bit versus his ability, and he shouldn't have his name on this big roster."

He commented on the performance of those people on the observation list bit by bit.

"Wilshere is great. Maybe I should consider giving him a chance?"

"There are only four people in the midfield, how do you arrange it?" Walker asked.

"Gerard is a substitute." Tang En answered as if nothing had happened.

"Aren't you afraid that the Liverpool media will tear you?" Walker laughed.

"I'm only responsible for the team, the media? Who cares what they think. "Donn turned around and walked out. "Besides, Gerald's performance in this round of league is very average, and I think it's reasonable to start for Will Shell, who performed better. And Wood's performance in this game was also excellent. If he scored after the game, he should be the highest scorer in the entire Nottingham Forest."

"George is our core now. His status and role are just like Gerald in England a few years ago." Don said to Walker, "A midfielder with both offense and defense is in a stable state and rarely gets injured. If he doesn't need to be the core, then there must be something wrong with my head."

He walked out and Walker followed closely.

Below the stands, Flores was shaking hands with Wenger, and the smile on his face was very reluctant. The reporters kept slapping him. Someone even threw out the question without waiting for the press conference: "Mr. Flores, can you explain why you didn't go to Gareth. Bell? He had no injuries before. He was in a stable state..."

Flores pretended not to hear it and walked straight to the corridor.

The next day, news of Gareth Bale and Flores' disagreement appeared on the newspapers and the Internet. The picture shows Flores anxiously directing the game on the sidelines and Bale sitting on the bench behind him in a daze.

But the reporters received no further news, and they could not interview Bell. Because Bell had left Wilford and returned to Cardiff. He had always lived in Nottingham, but Cardiff was actually his home.

As the number one star of the Wales national team, since Eastwood retired early due to injury, he has become the most popular player in Wales. At his doorstep, he was blocked by reporters again, hoping that he would respond to the recent rumors in the media.

Only a fool would say that he had a conflict with the head coach, unless he made up his mind to leave.

Bale denied that he had any conflict with Flores. As for why he didn't get even a minute chance to play against Arsenal, he said: "...I have no problem with my condition and physical fitness, and I will prove this in the national team's game. But Flores said he hoped to rotate, so I accepted his proposal. That's it. I don't think things are as complicated as you think."

No press conference believed his words. They were waiting to collect new evidence and must expose the discord in the Nottingham Forest locker room!

Wales' head coach John Tosak stood up to support his main player: "I don't know why he was rotated alone, but I'm glad Bale got a valuable rest opportunity. This is good news for us to face England. I think Bale is the best left-back in the world, and this time we will go to Spain to compete in the European Cup. England? They know us very well, and we know them very well. I already have the tactics to curb their 'double German' midfield..."

Toshaq is full of confidence, Gareth Bell is also full of fighting spirit. He must prove in front of his mentor that his original teachings are still in mind.

It seems that this trip to Wales in England will not be smooth sailing?
