Chapter 1047
"The game is over! 3:0! Nottingham Forest won the final victory!"

When the commentator yelled such a sentence, the TV camera did not continue to stay on the players on the field, and did not even show Balotelli, who scored twice in the game, but quickly cut to the coach's bench, showing A close-up shot of Nottingham Forest head coach Tony Twain.

In the camera, Twain just got up from his seat, and the assistant coach beside him, Chris Rucker, patted him on the shoulder, and then Twain turned around and walked towards Wolves coach Alan Pardew, wanting to shake hands with him. It's the etiquette after the game.

Since his team has already been relegated, Padew didn't have any complaints or dissatisfaction with the loss to Twain at home. On the contrary, when he held Twain's hand, he even chatted with Twain, telling him that he was also very unhappy. Hope he retires.

Tang En just smiled and didn't say anything.

During this period of time, he heard a lot of similar words, some from the heart, while others were just out of courtesy.Tang En didn't care which ones were sincere and which ones were courtesy.Anyway, there is one more game and he is about to say goodbye completely, so he doesn't care what others think.Now he will not roll up his sleeves to slap anyone.

After leaving Padew, Dunn returned to his team.

Oncoming is the smiling face of Chris Lark: "The latest news, Tony! Manchester City lost!"

Seeing his dancing, Tang En also laughed.This result means that they don't need to fight Manchester United in the last game, and they will enter the Europa League next season ahead of schedule.

"I don't care what the next game is like, Tony, even if it's a loss, haha!" In the noisy stadium, Chris Lack shouted excitedly.

"That's not acceptable, David." Tang En was shaking his head. "My coaching career cannot end in failure."

David Chrislake knew that this man's competitive spirit was still there, so he didn't say anything, just laughed.

Soon, the news of Manchester City losing the game spread throughout the Forest team, and even Wolves' home stadium, Molineux Stadium, broadcast the news on the live broadcast, which was regarded as congratulations to the Forest team.Only those who have already been relegated have such a state of mind to congratulate their opponents.

After hearing the news, the players of the Forest team embraced excitedly, which means that their hard work for half the season was not in vain.

But another assistant coach, Freddie Eastwood, had another worry.

"I am worried that if this continues, our people will lose their fighting spirit in the last round of the league."

He said so to Tang En.

His words also make sense.Because qualifying for the European competition is the highest goal of the Forest team in this half of the season, and the team has always been striving towards this goal.Once the goal is achieved and everyone loses energy, how will they play in the last round of the league?
Look at the Wolves in this game, that is simply the best "model".Having lost hope of relegation, the Wolves, who were relegated early, showed no fighting spirit in this game. Before the Forest team scored the first goal, they still symbolically resisted resistance. When Balotelli broke the Wolves with a free kick After entering the team's gate, their morale plummeted, and they handed in their guns and surrendered.

You must know that the opponent of the Forest team in the last game is not a team of the Wolves level, but Manchester United, which is currently ranked number one.

Tang En didn't care about Eastwood's worries.He can't always let the team walk on the single-plank bridge above the abyss, and keep the team under high pressure, which may not be a good thing.If there is no motivation, there is no motivation, and the team can't just rely on force to win.

Playing Manchester United, the carrot of "qualification to participate in European competitions" was not taken to encourage fighting spirit in the front.They practiced for two weeks and never put the background under "you must beat Manchester United to qualify for the Europa League".

However, the situation that Eastwood said is not completely impossible. In the next week, one of the jobs of Twain and the coaching staff is to prevent such a situation from happening.

"Don't worry, Freddie. No matter what problems you encounter, there is always a solution." Tang En patted Eastwood on the shoulder, "Now enjoy the joy of victory, don't frown .”

Eastwood glanced at Tang En: "You say this, I believe it." He was referring to Tang En's sentence "No matter what problem you encounter, there is always a solution." "But what about after you're gone?"

Eastwood still doesn't know what Tang is going to take over, even if he knows, he will probably have doubts about Tang's ability.

Apart from Tang En himself, there would probably be no one in this world who had hope for Tang.

"I'm not the only qualified head coach in this world." Twain replied to Eastwood.

Unexpectedly, Eastwood shook his head very seriously: "There is only one Tony Twain in the world."

※ ※ ※

"We have once again qualified to participate in European competitions next season. Compared with half a season ago, this result can only make us more reluctant to leave Tony Twain." In the "Nottingham Evening Post" issued later, Pierce Bruce wrote so.

"When we describe a certain star as very powerful, we always say that he has the ability to change the outcome of the game alone. Now I want to send this sentence to Tony Twain. He deserves it. Yes, today's Nottingham Forest and How did Nottingham Forest change half a season ago? There was one more Chen Jian, one more him, Chen Jian was brought by him, the victory and the sixth place in the league were also brought by him. It started a long time ago , we all know this fact—Tony Twain is someone who can bring victory and championships to the team, and he has the ability to change the results of a season by himself."

After the Wolves game ended, the commemorative activities for Tang En also increased.No one was willing to let Tang En go, so there were more and more voices to persuade him to stay, but they also knew that apart from making such voices, they could not change anything.

Tickets for Nottingham Forest's home game against Manchester United are sold out.Even so, there were still many people begging for tickets online, hoping to get a chance to see Tang En off on the spot.

The Nottingham Forest fans are proud to have had such a great manager.There are even some savvy merchants who launched a service project to take photos with Tony Twain. On the square outside the Crimson Stadium, some vendors put up a lifelike portrait of Twain, life-sized, for fans and tourists to take photos with Twain. Take a souvenir.Unexpectedly, the business is very prosperous. Many people come here to take photos with "Tony Twain" every day, and even see some black-haired, yellow-skinned visitors from afar.

It is not only the local media in England that are paying attention to this game, but also the media from all over the world.This game is positioned by the Premier League Committee as a live broadcast around the world.Now the Premier League broadcast has covered 250 six countries and regions, and the number of viewers has exceeded one billion.This decision is equivalent to allowing one billion fans around the world to witness Tony Twain's last game. As a head coach, this "farewell ceremony" is really high-standard.

So many countries began to advertise before this game, promoting how different this game is.

"The farewell battle of the most successful manager in England's history!"

"The grievances between Tony Twain and Mourinho, the two most personal coaches!"

"The ownership of the league championship trophy!"

There were several gimmicks in this game, one was Twain's retirement, the other was the feud between him and Mourinho that lasted for more than ten years, and the other was whether Manchester United could successfully win the league championship.Although Manchester United is now ranked first, they are only one point ahead of second-placed Arsenal.If they lost to Twain's Forest team in the final round and Arsenal defeated Fulham, Arsenal would replace them and become the league champions this season.

This is obviously not the result that Mourinho and Manchester United fans hope to see.

Therefore, the local media in Nottingham only care about Tony Twain, while the media in Manchester are concerned about whether Mourinho's team can successfully defend the title. They are very pessimistic about this - they think that in this game It is impossible to hope that Nottingham Forest will keep a hand, because their fans and the team will not want their legendary coach to bid farewell to his job with a defeat.

So those who think that Forest will lose motivation by qualifying for the Europa League one round early are stupid. This game will be a very serious test for Manchester United.

Mourinho thinks so too.When he was interviewed by reporters, his expression was very serious, and he didn't feel relaxed at all because his team is now ranked first.When talking about the game, he said: "...I don't like to predict the game, but I think my team will beat them (Nottingham Forest)..."

These words sound a bit forced, but they are more like boosting morale, rather than really confident.

But who would know that it wasn't Mourinho's arrogant strategy?

Eastwood's worries were not realized at all, and the lack of fighting spirit of the players could not be seen in daily training.On the contrary, they were full of fighting spirit, and it seemed that no one wanted to miss such an important game because of their poor performance in training.

This made Eastwood once again lament the huge influence of the boss, and at the same time made him more worried about who would be able to control these players after the boss left...

The hype outside was fierce, and the people around him were so worried, but Tang En didn't seem to care about anything. It was the same as every day for the past ten years. He handed over the specific training work to the coaching staff and left it alone. dispensers.

He himself is a bit like an old man whose retirement date is approaching. He goes to work every day to make a cup of tea and then walks around with birds.

He doesn't walk the birds or make tea, he just needs to stand on the sidelines, basically there is nothing he needs to do.In fact, he is too busy. The strategies and tactics needed to deal with Manchester United have been made before. That was when he was busy. Now it is just training and execution, and he is not needed much.On the day of the game, he was still busy.

All Twain needs to do now is to wear sunglasses, stand on the sidelines of the training ground, and watch the players train.

However, he has watched this kind of training for 16 years, and now sometimes he will be distracted.

When he first coached this team, who were the players, now he can't remember clearly.He doesn't know how to train the team, and he knows very little about the players.At that time, he did not expect that he would become the most successful head coach in the history of this country.

If someone knew that the real identity of the head coach is actually an ordinary Chinese fan who knows nothing, how would he feel?

This kind of secret is really going to be taken to the grave...

Tang En suddenly had an association, do there really exist traversers other than himself in this world?Those geniuses who have made many outstanding contributions, are there some guys from the future?
This question is really interesting. For example, why does Wenger see young players so accurately? Is he just a deeply hidden traveler?
When Tang En thought about it like this, he was thinking too far. After wandering around for a long time, he came back to his senses and found that the team's training was almost over.

Assistant coaches Chris Rucker and Eastwood called the players together, and at the end they still had to hear a few words from the head coach.

In fact, not every training session will have this procedure, but as Twain's departure is approaching, the players have strong demands, so Twain has to talk about it after every training session these days. A few words, whether it is to comment on training, or talk about other things.

As Gareth Bell said, "I just like hearing the voice of the boss".

Today is no exception.

Tang En saw Eastwood waving to him, so he walked over.

"Actually, I've finished what I should say in the past few days. I really can't think of anything else to say." Tang En spread his hands.But if you really don't say anything, you can't do it.

"There are still three days until the last round of the league. Looking at our training every day, I think we are ready. To be honest, I have no doubt that you have lost motivation after completing the season goals ahead of schedule. You lost Momentum?"

He looked at the players around him and asked.

"How is it possible, boss?" Gareth Bell answered first, and the others nodded in agreement. "We have another victory for you, boss!"

Tang En grinned his mouth wide and laughed happily.At the same time, he slapped his hands hard: "Isn't this the end? What else did I say? Disband!"

Seeing the astonished expressions of the players, Tang En laughed even more complacently.

He finally doesn't have to rack his brains for words to satisfy the players.When he was young, his blood was boiling, and he also liked to use impassioned words to motivate the players, and he thought it was so cool.Now that I am getting old, I don't like this kind of over-the-top expression. Instead, I prefer to be silent and use actions to show my strength.

Saying ten thousand words is not as good as one movement. If you really want to deal with the enemy, you can spend a long time cursing and scolding your mouth dry. It is better to roll up your sleeves and scratch your ears. It will be more effective.

Tang En is old, but his minions are still there.If anyone doesn't believe it, welcome to witness the Crimson Stadium on May [-].
