Chapter 12 We Were Raped

Tang En remembered Walker's words, and walked straight into the press conference hall from the player tunnel.Apart from the cameras set up, there were not many people at the small press conference.The host was a little surprised that Tang En came so early.

Seeing that his eyes were not right, Tang En asked, "Am I here too early?"

"Yes, sir. Most of the reporters are still interviewing the players in the mixed zone at this time."

Tang En looked at the table and sat down on the seat marked with his name: "Then I'll just wait here."

The moderator did not raise any objections.Tang En took this opportunity to carefully observe the scene of the press conference.He knew that at least he would show up here often for half a year.Ah, what a wonderful thing it is to speak in front of so many media outlets and then have those reporters put what they say into print...

But Tang En is not in the mood to think about those now.He is still brooding over the team's loss to "force majeure".

As he was so thoughtful, there were more and more people in the press hall unknowingly, and the noise became louder.When Tang En came back to his senses, he realized that most of the reporters had already appeared in the room, but very few of them sat in their seats, and they stood chatting together in twos and threes.

What are we talking about... about the game just now?

Next to the head coach of the visiting team is still vacant.A trace of anger welled up in Tang En's heart.You bastard Rhodes, you still have me waiting for you after you win the ball, you are so arrogant!
He knocked on the microphone, and an amplified knocking sound came from the speaker, and the reporters present all turned their heads to look at him.

"I'm announcing the official start of the press conference. If you have any questions, please ask them quickly." Tang En completely left the host aside and took on several roles by himself.

The reporters didn't expect the head coach to be short-tempered. They glanced at the host.The host also felt that it was okay to let one party accept the interview first, so he shrugged: "We can start now."

The reporters took their seats one after another and raised their hands to ask questions.Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is why the forest team has such a huge difference between the first half and the second half.

"About this question...it's very simple. During the intermission, I called a group of fans to the locker room." Dunn answered this question very briefly.The bottom exploded.

The reporters knew exactly where the locker room was.This mysterious place is completely closed to reporters. Many reporters have sharpened their heads to find out the secrets of a team's locker room, but they can't do so.Tony Twain let the fans walk into the locker room swaggeringly!
Countless hands were raised for a moment, and the scene became a little uncontrollable.The host didn't know what to do, so many reporters asked questions, who should they call?

It was Tang En who helped him out and slapped the table.With a bang, the scene fell silent.

Tang En said to the reporters below with a straight face: "I know what you want to ask. Maybe the locker room is sacred in the eyes of everyone, but not in my eyes. It's that simple. I refuse to answer all questions about the locker room. If you want to know what's going on, go find those fans yourself. Next question." He looked at his watch impatiently, it's been 10 minutes, and Glenn Reed hasn't come yet.Super coaches are different, they are very airy.If I don't take the initiative, I'm afraid I'm still waiting here like a fool.

The reporters looked at each other, the coach seemed to have a bad temper.In this way, there are very few coaches in the press, and only big-name managers are qualified to do so.Like Sir Alex Ferguson...

The venue was silent for a while, and Tang En thought that the reporters had no questions to ask, so he got up to leave.At this time, someone raised his hand: "Wait, Coach Tony Twain! I'm Pierce Bruce, a reporter from the Nottingham Evening Post. We had two goals disallowed in the second half. I want to hear your opinion. What do you think?" A fair young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up and asked.

Tang En thought of Glenn Lord when he saw this person, and he asked angrily: "What do you want to hear? I made the most appropriate tactical arrangements, and I replaced the best players. I thought I could reap the rewards." A beautiful victory. But when you find that no matter how hard you try, you can't fight against some 'irresistible factors', you will understand how I feel now." After a pause, he looked at the words that he said A poor speechless young man who seemed to be about his own age.Maybe a trainee reporter for a newspaper...

"You ask me what I think? My opinion is: We were raped by the referee."

Immediately there were boos and boos from below.Someone asked loudly: "Mr. Manager, did you mean 'rape'?"

Tang En nodded with certainty: "That's right, rape. It's not 'offensive', nor 'aggression', 'robbing', or 'insulting'. It's just 'rape'! Two unproblematic goals can be awarded Ineffective, this is not rape what is it?"

The host reminded him in a low voice beside him: "Coach Twain, I think you are aware of the consequences that saying this will bring to you..."

Tang En gave him a blank look: "Whatever you want." Then he pointed to the excited reporters and said, "You just write like this, as it is. I don't care! Goodbye, gentlemen!"

He put down the microphone, turned and walked off the stage, just as Rhodes turned out from behind the advertising board.Seeing this kid's face flushed, it was obvious that he had already celebrated his victory in the locker room.

Tang En took the initiative to extend his hand, and held Rhodes together under the reporter's flashlight.

"Congratulations, but you'd better hope your team doesn't get relegated," he murmured before turning away.Rhodes looked at Tang En's back in surprise, thinking that he had heard wrongly, this was the first time he had seen such an unmannered opponent.But how did he know that Twain was just telling the truth, because after the end of this season, his West Ham United was really relegated... Although West Ham finally scored 41 points in the second half of the season, it was still to no avail.At that time, I don't know if Rhodes thought that it was Tang En's vicious curse that caused his team to score such a high score and be relegated...

Tang En didn't care about the noisy press conference behind him and the surprised Rhode. He was in a bad mood right now.He buried his head and walked back to the locker room, only to find that everyone was waiting for him.Standing at the door and glanced around, everyone was the same as him, with a very ugly face.

This is not good, he still depends on this team to win.He quickly showed a bright smile: "Don't take this matter to heart, you did a good job." The expressions of the players remained unchanged, "Although losing the game really makes people unhappy... But there is no way." Tang En Shrugging his shoulders, he felt that these words were too unconvincing, because he himself did not believe that these words could make people feel better.So he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Well, the game is lost, no matter what the reason is. You can't let that damn referee change the score with a frown. The most important thing is the next game, If we lose here, we will find it elsewhere! Disband!"

The players all returned to the bus.There are many loyal Forest fans around the parking lot, singing and cheering for the team's excellent performance in the second half.After the players began to enjoy this kind of game, many people also showed smiles on their faces.Even Tang En, who was standing outside the car, didn't get booed at all.He also didn't see Michael and the others in the crowd, and he felt a pity when he thought of not being able to drink the wine he was treating.

The point is not the drink, how much can a drink cost?Twain is now the head coach. Although he is still an agent, his salary is enough for countless meals.He actually wanted to see the expression on Michael's face when he invited him to drink.

It's all right now, if I can't drink alcohol, that wonderful expression is naturally gone.

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that there were two people missing from the car.Two assistant coaches.Des Walker and Ian Bowyer.

Bowyer is not familiar with it, but Walker is a very disciplined person, and it is impossible not to come out by now.

After telling the driver, he decided to go back and look for it.

The forest team's locker room is very small, but for the current situation where there are only two people, it can be described as empty.

Bowyer leaned against the wall, looked at the colleague in front of him, and said nothing.Instead, Walker looked angry, clenched his fists and glared at the other party.

The two looked at each other like this for a long time, and Bowyer finally surrendered first: "You asked me to stay just to make us stare? If it's okay, I'll go first..."

As soon as he got up, Walker rushed up and pressed him back.

"Where's the Ian Bowyer I like? Where's the Ian Bowyer I admire? Where's the Ian Bowyer I fought with?" Walker pointed at him like a hair dryer. Bowyer yelled.

Bowyer looked calm: "I'm sorry, Des. I don't think I understand what you are talking about."

"Don't you pretend to be confused! Where are you when the team is in a mess? Where are you when the team and I need you? Don't think I don't know what is going on in your heart? You have served the team so well Over the years, has your feeling for the team deteriorated?!"

In the face of Walker's anger, Bowyer remained silent.

Walker finished venting his anger, only to find that Bowyer was as unresponsive as a dead man.Walker suddenly didn't know what to say next, should he use the team honor to inspire him?He has won many more honors than himself, why haven't you seen such a big storm?Maybe he should be jealous of Twain. After all, he is the veteran and hero of the team. If it were him, he would think that Hart's position should belong to him.He couldn't understand what Bowyer was doing, but everyone has the freedom and power to choose, doesn't he?

He sighed suddenly, let go of Bowyer's collar, and walked out with his head bowed.

Just when he walked out, he saw Tony Twain with his ears pressed against the wall.He was taken aback and opened his mouth to say hello, but fortunately Tang En covered his mouth with quick eyesight and quick hands.Then he pointed to the locker room and motioned him to look.

Walker turned around, and the two of them saw Bowyer in the locker room bending down to pick out a red scarf from under the locker room through the half-closed door.He looked back at Tang En strangely, but Tang En didn't say anything, but motioned him to continue watching.

The red scarf was also thrown down by the Nottingham Forest fans, but it was definitely not the one that Dunn picked up and gave to Walker.It was forgotten in a corner, and only Bowyer found it.

Walker watched Bowyer pick up the scarf and dust it carefully.Then imitate Dawson and hold it up high, and put it under the light to look at it.At this moment, Tang En patted Walker lightly, indicating that it was time for him to get in the car.

The two walked back quietly.

"Des, accompany me to Burns' bar for a drink at night, and I'll treat you."

"Good idea, but why do you suddenly like to drink and smoke again? Ah, I got it! I forgot to thank God. Although Tony Twain used to not smoke or drink, he was humble and polite, but I still like the current one. Tony!"
