Chapter 1035
The Notts County players must be disappointed because they still haven't won the derby.But Tang En's words after the game might make them feel better.

In the post-match press conference, Tang En praised the head coach of Notts County, Tang, saying that he caused a lot of trouble for himself, and he himself hadn't felt trouble for a long time...

This evaluation is quite high.In fact, Tang En did this intentionally. He wanted to let the supporters of the Forest team gradually get acquainted with and accept the future new head coach from now on.Some people think that Tang's ability is insufficient and his reputation is not great?This is not a problem, he is looking for his successor, not a beauty pageant.Tang's ability is not a problem at all. You must know that Tang En was "taught" by Tang - in the beginning, I just read the notes left by Tang at home day and night.Fame?When he took over the Forest team, he was also unknown.Anyway, Evan has now given up his unrealistic "rich dream", why must he invite a world-class coach to be his successor?Moreover, world-class coaches still don't want to live in Twain's shadow. They are always compared with Twain. How many proud coaches can stand it?
Moreover, Tang himself is also a coach from Nottingham Forest. He is familiar with the Forest team and has feelings for the Forest team.

Taking all factors into consideration, Tang is the most suitable successor, and someone the Forest team can rely on for decades to come.

Just like Moyes, he is not very famous, but he has worked in Everton until now, and he has become a name that cannot be forgotten in the history of the Everton team.In fact, Dunn's time in the Forest team was really not that long. He only worked for 12 years in total. For England's managers, this coaching time would not even rank in the top [-].

If Twain hadn't been able to win so many championships, with his 12 years of coaching time, he would hardly have left anything in the world football world.

England's managers coach the team and have different plans depending on the length of the coaching time.Short-term plan, medium-term plan, long-term plan.Twain could at most put it in the mid-term plan, but what the Forest team needed was a long-term plan.In any case, Nottingham Forest's current foundation is still shallow. This foundation does not mean that winning five European Champions Cups is considered solid, but that no matter how many championships they win, it will not work.The foundation needs time to accumulate. If you can guarantee to be in the ranks of the championship every season for 20 years, even if you have a little foundation, 100 years later, it is estimated that you will become a force that cannot be ignored in world football. It can be compared with those giant clubs.

But Tang En just didn't have the time to slowly lay a solid foundation for the Forest team. It was just right to leave this kind of thing to the young and healthy Tang.All he did was to create a glorious history for the Forest team, and this history will become the spiritual force that inspires every Forester in the years to come.It can be said that Tang En created spiritual wealth, while Tang focused on the material level. The spirit and material complement each other to make the forest team gradually stronger.Instead of going through a short period of glory like Clough's time, as Clough gets old, he is like a shooting star in the sky, streaking across the sky and disappearing.

Twain would definitely not wish to see the Forest team slipping into the abyss in the low-level league when he grows old in the future.

It is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.Those who fight the country are not the same as the ones who defend the country. Tang En does not think he is a talent for defending the country. Fighting the country can be done with his drive, but defending the country requires a steady and calm person. This is more suitable for Tang than himself.

That's why he went to Tang.

In this derby, many people who lacked an intuitive understanding of Tang saw Tang's ability with their own eyes. A team like Notts County can regain its brilliance under his hands.Wouldn't it be great to switch to Nottingham Forest with a higher level?
Tang En hasn't told Evan his idea yet, because he knows that Evan's mind is full of the idea of ​​how to persuade himself to stay and work for a few more years.At this time, even if he told him about his successor, he would not take it seriously.Tang En is not worried that his recommendation will not be approved in the future. He knows his influence in the club, and because of this temporary firefighting action, it will be even higher. He has always had a very high reputation among Forest team fans. .So as long as he nodded, no one would not agree.

As for Tang's character not as domineering as his own?Don't be kidding, if everyone in the world is carved out of the same mold as Tang En, then the end of the world will come...

It was precisely because of this "selfishness" that Tang En hardly mentioned his victory at the press conference. Apart from praising the team's performance, he kept praising Tang.This made the Chinese media overjoyed. They could brag to the domestic audience and fans again. This time, they would definitely not be scolded as "headline gangsters", because Tang En's original words were more disgusting than their headlines!
Tang was almost embarrassed by Tang En's words, so he tried his best to be humble. As a result, such modesty became another reason to praise him in the eyes of caring people.

In this way, this derby war, which only comes once in 14 years, ended in a harmonious atmosphere of "Hello, Hello, Everyone".

※ ※ ※

After the derby, Tang En didn't contact Tang. Everyone was an adult and knew what to do.Don continues to coach in his Notts County, but he has already begun to develop successors.Tang En, on the other hand, acted like a normal person, no longer thinking about his successor.

January belongs to the winter transfer window, and it is at this time that the major teams need to make up for it.It can be used to make up for the lack of summer transfers, or to completely correct the mistakes of summer transfers.But Nottingham Forest has nothing to say.Twain knew that he would only stay in this club for another half a season, and that Tang would take over from next season. From the perspective of long-term consideration and for the good of the team, don't buy anyone during the winter transfer period and keep it as it is. it's the best.

Otherwise, the players that Tang En likes may not be suitable for Tang's tactical system. Forcibly buying the players will not only delay the players, but also not benefit the team's reconstruction work.

There was only one Chen Jian, which Tang En bought because he thought it would not interfere with Tang's tactical system.

If you don't buy people, it doesn't mean you won't sell people.

As soon as Chen Jian came, there were at least four people in the middle of the midfield.The team also does not have multi-line combat missions, so it is useless to have so many people in the same position.Gago was getting old. Although Twain was very happy to return, the Nottingham Derby made him realize the reality—his role in this team has become smaller and smaller.If the boss really doesn't continue to work next season, I'm afraid it's useless to stay. The new head coach probably won't entrust him with important tasks. In this case, it's better to go back to Argentina and find a team to retire.

So Gago had a private conversation with Tang En, hoping to clarify whether the boss really only worked for this half of the season.

Tang En told him that he really only worked for half a season, and he would leave the team after the season ended.And he didn't persuade Gago to stay. He knew that Gago's departure would be a good thing for the team, because Tang would have less trouble cleaning up the lineup.

Although it is a bit unfeeling to say this, it is necessary to analyze the problem from a rational point of view.

Gago also thought of this problem, so he didn't express his dissatisfaction.Instead, he took the initiative to propose his idea of ​​​​moving to the Forest team after the end of the season.

Another familiar person was about to leave his sight, but Tang En was not as reluctant as before.Perhaps after getting used to too much separation and reunion, he has really become bearish.Or, in fact, it was because Gago hadn't been with him for a long time?

Gago wanted to leave, but Tang En didn't stay.The other person's situation was that he wanted to leave, but Tang En wanted to stay.

Jack Livermore originally competed with Gago for the center forward spot, but most of the time he couldn't compete with the experienced Gago.But he still thought about it, that is, after all, Gago is old, and he can gradually become the main force.Unexpectedly, on January [-]st, Tang En actually bought another Chinese to play in the same position as him, and even got the chance to play in the Nottingham Derby, performing well.

This immediately made him understand that his status in the team was lower than before.

Livermore was a smart man. He knew that the reason for his lowered status was that Dunn didn't like him, otherwise he wouldn't have hoarded four people in the central midfielder position.A wise man would not hit a rock with an egg. To Livermore, he was an egg, but Dunn was a rock.

The wise person's approach is to leave by himself, so that everyone will look good and have a good reputation.

So Livermore also had a private conversation with Twain. He wanted to confirm whether his position in Twain's heart was the bottom one among the five central midfielders.

Of course Tang En would not directly say: "Yes, you have the least status in my heart." Unless you are a fool, or deliberately want to make the other party angry.

In Tang En's plan, Livermore is not useless, at least he is very suitable as a substitute.

only……

"I can't accept the substitute arrangement, boss." Livermore was straightforward and frank.Tang En likes this kind of conversation attitude, everyone is not playing tricks, just say one thing, and say another thing, how good it is.

"I still hope you can think about it seriously, Jack. We need enough bench depth." So Dunn didn't lie to him, and told him directly that his position for him was to be a substitute.

"I'm sorry, boss. When Fernando and George were there, I was their backup. Now Fernando is old, but a Chinese came... I'm 29, boss, I don't want to be a backup until my career Career over."

Livermore looked at Tang En seriously.

It's also about pursuing his own interests. If he speaks out so frankly, Tang En won't feel disgusted.Because that's not a bad thing in itself.

Twain's reason for wanting Livermore to be a substitute is simple.In his plan, Wood and Chen Jian will be the main players in the second half of the season, and maybe they will be the main players next season.But after Gago left, the team only had three central midfielders, which was not safe.Although I don't know what kind of tactics Tang will arrange, it is absolutely impossible to not have a substitute in this position.

Livermore is what Tang En thinks is the best substitute.His strength to play the main force is slightly lacking, and he can't keep up with the requirements.But it's a pity to let it go in vain.So it's best to be a substitute with peace of mind.

It's a pity that the players are not cold data NPCs in the game. They have their own thoughts, and no one wants to be a substitute.Everyone hopes to be an assistant and a hero.However, in a football game, only 11 players can start, and someone must be a substitute.Such players are role players, they are not as dazzling as star players, but they may be the most indispensable type in the team.

But Livermore is clearly not such a person.

He simply rejected Tang En's request to stay.

Facing Livermore like this, Tang En was helpless.But it's easy to find a substitute, if it's really not possible, just transfer from the youth team.It is not Tang En who needs to consider this matter, but Tang.Fortunately, Tang En sold his favor to Livermore and readily agreed to his transfer application, but he hoped that Livermore would not leave during the winter transfer period and finish the season.In return for Tang En's willingness to leave, Livermore also agreed to his request.

In this way, Tang En finally left a relatively complete team for the team. In the second half of the season, on the premise of giving up the FA Cup and focusing on the league, basically there is no need to worry about the influence of factors such as extensive injuries and the transfer of the national team. To the integrity of the lineup.

Under such conditions, Twain must lead the team to successfully avoid relegation.But deep down in his heart, there is a bigger goal - to get the right to participate in the European competition.

Tang En suddenly thought of the first season he coached the Forest team, strictly speaking it was half a season.It took over after the new year, and the team's results were not good, just like today.It's just that the team's finances were on the verge of collapse at that time, and he couldn't even pay a penny for the transfer fee. He could only tap the potential internally and use the existing resources as much as possible.In the end, his team fell short before rushing to the finish line of the Super League.

It was from that time on that he had an unforgettable pain for failure, and he hated failure from the bottom of his heart.That is to say, from then on, he can do whatever it takes to win.

The current situation is similar to that of the past, except that the reason why he moves little in the transfer market is not that he has no money, but that he does not want to spend money.

Therefore, the similar desire to win has never changed.Tang En admitted that his temper is better now than before, but his competitive heart has never been old.If someone thinks that he has transformed into a "good man"... Twain really hopes that someone thinks so, then he can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger... But does anyone really think so?
