Chapter 1040

Shania also noticed the recent media reports.She is neither blind nor deaf. She also knows what the fans are doing in the stands and on the sidelines of the training ground. If you want to ask her own thoughts, it is of course selfish to hope that Twain will stay by her side.But after being with her husband for more than ten years, she also knows that the final decision can only be made by her husband.So she obediently chose to remain silent.

At this time, she can only choose to trust her husband.

"In a few days, I have to hold a press conference to announce whether to stay or not." During the dinner, Tang En said suddenly, which surprised Shania a little.You must know that when the media was making a fuss about it a few days ago, Tang En kept his mouth shut at home.

She was keenly aware of something.

"It's time to understand all of this." Tang En said.

She was right.

But Shania didn't ask "what is your decision?"She just nodded and said nothing.

Tang En was not surprised by Shania's reaction, so he didn't take the initiative to explain what he would say at the press conference.

There is such a tacit understanding between the two people.

The question of Twain's future obviously affected the team's performance.Nottingham Forest came close to losing at home to Fulham in their away game at the weekend.Fortunately, at the last moment, Balotte used a beautiful free kick to break through Fulham's gate and tied the score at 1:1, saving a point for the team.Also because of the tie in this game, their ranking did not continue to rise, but remained at seventh.

In this game, the Forest team can finally draw with Fulham, it all depends on their luck.No matter in terms of technical statistics or the actual scene, Nottingham Forest is at a comprehensive disadvantage. If Fulham's forwards were not too wasteful of opportunities, even if Balotelli scored a goal, they would just fail.

Perhaps the Fulham people did not expect Nottingham Forest to be so sluggish, and they were a little too excited.

For example, there was once a goal that was almost empty. It was more difficult to score such a goal than to score it. However, the Fulham forward volleyed vigorously with excitement, and directly pumped the football into the stands behind...

After the game, Dunn admitted in an interview that he and his team had "very, very, very good luck" today. These were his exact words, and he used three "very" in a row.

However, he did not criticize the team's performance.

Because he knows that the abnormal performance of the team has something to do with him.If the crew of a fleet does not know whether their most beloved captain will stay after this adventure and continue to lead them in the rivers and lakes, then they will be suspicious and waver in their hearts, which will naturally affect their hearts in battle. fighting power.

Tang En originally thought that by keeping silent, this effect could be minimized.It turns out he was wrong.He has to give his crew a decision about what the future really holds.

A reporter asked: "I heard that you promised to give an answer to the fans who wanted you to stay at the training ground?"

Tang En did not deny it, but nodded: "Yes. When I return to Nottingham, I will announce this matter at the press conference."

The reporter did not expect Tang En's answer to be so straightforward. He was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he quickly asked again: "You mean to announce your stay after the end of the season when you return to Nottingham?"

Tang En nodded and did not continue to say anything.But this was enough. The media were all excited because of Tang En's answer. As for the competition...who cares?

※ ※ ※

On the car back to Nottingham from London, Tang En discovered that Evan Dalgety was there, and he even took the initiative to find him.

"David..." He looked at the assistant coach Chris Lack who was sitting with Tang En.

Chris Lark is a smart person, and from this look, he knew that Evan must have something to talk to Dunn about, and it was related to the question of whether Tang En would stay or not.So he got up and gave his seat to Mr. Chairman, and he took the back seat, next to Eastwood.

During the process of Chris Lark giving up his seat, Tang En didn't say a word, but just looked up at the two people who exchanged seats.

When Evan sat down, he was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Have you made a decision, Tony?"

Dunn nodded.

"I guess it must not be a good decision for me. Can I persuade you to take it back?"

Tang En shook his head: "If you still want my friendship, Evan, you shouldn't do that."

Evan Dalgety looked forward with some disappointment.

Seeing Evan Dalgety so disappointed, Dunn couldn't bear to be so indifferent, so he comforted him: "In China, there is a saying: 'If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come'. To the Forest team It's the same with you. If I, an old guy, don't leave, how can you have new surprises?"

Evan Dalgety doesn't care about Eastern proverbs, he only cares about one thing: "But I can't think of any new surprises after you, an old guy, are gone. I have been looking for it for more than four years, but I haven't found it."

Tang En smiled. It seemed that it was very simple for Evan to accept the fact that he had left. All he had to do was find a suitable heir for him.

"Of course, I have a candidate who is very suitable to be the new head coach of Nottingham Forest. I am very, very optimistic about him. He can definitely bring the Forest team back on the road."

Evan Dalgety was intimidated by Tang En's evaluation, because the rebellious Tang En rarely used such explicit and flattering words to describe a person, so his mind turned to those world-class marshals Find.

"Could it be Mourinho?"

This was the only answer he could come up with, because he had a similar temperament, and maybe there was only one person that Tang En could be optimistic about.

Unexpectedly, Tang En shook his head.

"Not really."

He didn't explain to Evan why Mourinho was not, he just said his candidate.

"It's Don."

The name stunned Evan for a moment. He wasn't surprised, but...he had no idea who this "Don" was at all.

Tang En saw the doubt in his eyes, but it didn't mean anything.An assistant coach who left the team eight years ago, it is normal for the club chairman not to remember.At that time, Evan was in high spirits, and he didn't care about the people and things around him.

"Do you still remember the first time I brought him to the club and hoped that you would give him a job?" Tang En slowly told Evan the story. Anyway, it takes nearly two hours to drive from London to Nottingham, and he has plenty of time. .The road is boring, and it is also very interesting to tell stories.

Only then did Evan remember: "That Chinese youth?"

Tang En nodded: "He started as an ordinary coach of the youth team, and worked as a youth team director, first-team coach, and first-team assistant coach. He left the club seven and a half years ago and went to Notts County as the head coach. Now Notts County are mid-table in the Championship."

When he heard the name "Nods County", Evan frowned.When he heard that it was only a mid-level team in the English Championship, his brows became more and more frowned.

Evan's reaction naturally fell into Tang En's eyes.

"Tony, this man..."

"Do you think he is not well-known and his resume is not good-looking?"

Evan nodded, that's what he thought.He deeply feels that the unknown head coach can't control the locker room.Among the coaches recruited before, how many of them can control the big-name players in the locker room?There are almost none, and the locker room cannot be closed, so there are many factions in the locker room, and the team is falling apart. What fighting power is there?An unsightly resume means that there are no brilliant achievements. This cannot convince the public, and there is no way to convince myself that the team can have a brilliant future under his hands.What's more, the lack of brilliant results also means that they have insufficient experience in dealing with big scenes.Nottingham Forest is a Premier League team, and its goal is Europe. Can a head coach of a mid-level Championship team be able to handle such a level of competition?

"Not all head coaches need to rely on their own fame to manage the locker room. It doesn't matter if the resume is not good, because it is easier to draw on a blank sheet of paper." Tang En said so. "Before I got my first championship trophy, my resume was not as good-looking as Tang's."

This is the truth. Tang En's resume was really not good when he debuted.He lost the team's hopes of qualifying for the Premier League in the most crucial game, and then he was dismissed and returned to coaching with the youth team.Then when he became Forest's first-team coach again, he only had half a season of first-team coaching experience.But such a person has created the most glorious 11 years in the history of Nottingham Forest Club.

If Evan kicked Tang En out because he was not well-known and his resume was not good at that time, I am afraid that Nottingham Forest would never have such glory.

"And Tang has enough strength, what he lacks is a better stage than Notts County. Think about the Nottingham Derby in January, his team performed well, at least 45 minutes ahead of us. I believe as long as Give him time, and he will definitely draw a wonderful picture for you."

"A Chinese..." Evan was still a little worried, or he was unwilling to be persuaded by Tang En just like this.

"Is there any problem?" Tang En raised his eyebrows. "Chen Jian is also Chinese, but he is our main force now." In fact, Tang En seemed to say to Evan:
Lao Tzu is the real Chinese, Tang is pure British.If you don't believe in the Chinese, you just don't believe in me?But I have won so many championships...

Of course, it was impossible to say such words, and Tang En just said a few words in his heart.Disdain for Evan's superficial views.

Then Evan fell into a long silence. The car was driving fast and smoothly on the highway. The players and coaches in the car were all doing their own things. Some of them listened to music with headphones on, and some of them closed their eyes and took a nap. , and some people are playing handheld game consoles and mobile phones.

Tang En adjusted the angle of the back of the chair a little, and lay back, intending to sleep in the car.As he said, he is prone to drowsiness now, in order to keep his mind clear, so he took the opportunity to rest.

Evan didn't seem to notice Tang En, and continued to remain silent.Tang En didn't care that Mr. Chairman of the club was by his side, he just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When the bus arrived in Nottingham, Dunn also woke up.He found that Evan Daugherty was still sitting next to him, and he looked like he was waiting for him to wake up.

"What were you thinking, Evan?" he asked.

Hearing Tang En's question, Evan seemed to have just woken up from deep thought, and turned to look at Tang En: "I was wondering if the heir you recommended would be willing or under your shadow..."

Dunn grinned, it's not like he didn't think about this question.For Tang, his arrangement may be a bit domineering, arrogant and unreasonable, because he always considers the problem from his own point of view, but he doesn't seem to think about it from Tang's point of view—a young man with no impressive resume. The coach suddenly wanted to be Tony Twain's successor, and that kind of pressure was enough to overwhelm many ordinary people with poor mental quality.

But after being in touch with Tang for so long and having the same ulterior secret, Tang En firmly believed that Tang was not an ordinary person.

"In the first few years, there might be such an impact..." Tang En murmured. "But take your time. Take your time, Evan. The Forest team still has a long, long way to go..."

Evan sighed, feeling that he couldn't convince the stubborn person around him.

"Well, when is the best time for me to go to him?"

"Let's wait until the end of the season. It's too early and the rumors from the media may cause things to change." Tang En was very happy that Evan finally decided to accept Tang, and half of his heart was relieved.

What about the other half?

When the bus drove into Wilford, Evan patted Dunn on the shoulder before getting out of the car: "When do you think the press conference is better, Tony? The club can arrange it for you."

"Uh..." Tang En opened his mouth and looked at the back of Evan Dalgety getting out of the car, thinking that he must be very proud because he scored a goal...

Thinking of the expectant eyes of those fans and the slogans flying in the stands, Tang En felt that dealing with the fans was much more difficult than dealing with the boss...

This is also the truth, you have to be emotional when you treat fans...
