Chapter 138 Volume II Nottingham Sky Merry Christmas, Tony
Dunn thought about it for a long time. These days, there are a lot of excellent forwards and frontcourt players, but there are very few good central defenders.The defenders he is familiar with, with the current league ranking, prestige and financial resources of the Forest team, it is impossible to buy them.

It can only be excavated from Forest's opponents in League One.Tang En sighed, he missed the scouting tool in FM... After all, manpower is limited, it is not as convenient and quick as the computer system.Thinking of this, Tang En suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind - why can't he imitate FM and CM and build a scouting data system by himself?Enter the player information inspected by club scouts into the computer system, detailing player names, ages, native places, positions, clubs they play for, technical characteristics, game videos, media reports...all of them are included.It is updated once a year. When the coach needs a player in a certain position, he can directly find it in the computer system.Isn't this much more convenient?It can also save a lot of manpower and material resources.

Thinking about it this way, Tang En decided to raise this plan with Evan another day, spend money to entrust those program companies to make such a system, and apply for a patent... If the effect is good, it may be promoted to other clubs, and then earn money A little money is always okay.

The training was fully under the responsibility of Walker and the conscientious coaching staff. Apart from meeting with the coaching staff every morning and having a meeting to review today's training schedule, Twain basically interfered with the team's training.

At the beginning, those players who just joined the team this season were still a little uncomfortable. How could the head coach of the team not care about training?But soon the old players who were in the Forest team last season told them: the boss is such a head coach, as long as he can win, it doesn't matter whether he comes up to practice in person during training, or is he in a suit and tie watching from the field?
That's right, there are many types of head coaches. Some head coaches don't like to practice the team themselves. They usually formulate a training plan systematically and then hand it over to the assistant coaches.Such as the former Barcelona coach Van Gaal of the Netherlands.There are also some coaches who don’t have any training plans, prefer to participate in them personally, and may adjust their training ideas at any time, such as the former Barcelona head coach and current Newcastle head coach Bobby Robson.

Twain is obviously somewhere between them, but as his experience grows, his approach to training should gradually approach Van Gaal, even though he himself doesn't really like this Dutch coach...

The days when the sun can be seen in the sky are gradually decreasing, and it is always wet and rainy on weekdays, and the sky is wet and the ground is wet.When I opened my mouth to talk and breathe, there was already obvious white air coming out, and the temperature dropped day by day like this, and the feeling of the end of the year became stronger and stronger.

Christmas is coming, which is the most important festival in the West, equivalent to the Spring Festival in China.A strong festive atmosphere permeated the city of Nottingham.There are lights and festoons everywhere, and a Christmas tree more than ten meters high has been erected in front of the Victoria shopping mall in the city center. Almost half of the sky was illuminated, and such a scene would only appear in the ancient city of Nottingham at Christmas.

A small Christmas tree is also placed in the club's training base, under which are piled with small gifts prepared by the club for the players.Dunn didn't know if the Forest Club had such a tradition before, but judging from the surprise performance of the players, it is estimated that this is also part of the "team public relations" that Allen Adams called.

The names of the players are on the outer packaging of each gift, and there is something for everyone from the first team to the youth team.The gifts of the coaches were delivered directly to their offices and placed on their desks.

In the lobby of Building No. [-] of the training base, the players are happily rummaging around the Christmas tree for their presents. Whenever someone finds them, they will raise them up and give a cheer, and then eagerly unwrap them.There are not many types of gifts, basically a greeting card with a small gadget, which is not very valuable.But the club's sincerity still makes many people feel warm in their hearts.

Tang En looked at these "Chinese New Year" players and stood at the gate with a smile, not urging them to go to the training ground.No matter how much their weekly salary is, most people are still children after all, and sometimes they should relax when they should relax.

Today is December 24th, the last day before Christmas, Christmas Eve.The team only trains in the morning, and will have a half-day holiday in the afternoon. The team will continue to have a holiday on Christmas morning the next day, and the players will not come back until the afternoon to gather, and then prepare to go to play Norwich away. That is the No.20 fifth round of League One of a game.

Tang En saw George Wood's figure on the periphery of the crowd. Since he returned to the first team, he has not had time to visit the youth team.But he still felt very relieved to see Wood, who was much more mature than before in every aspect.Chris Lark valued Wood as much as he did. With him taking care of him, he shouldn't have to worry about the kid not having the ball.

George Wood didn't squeeze with those people, but waited outside, looking around as if looking for someone.

Tang En felt that he must be looking for him, and sure enough, Wood saw him and walked straight over.

"Hi, Merry Christmas, George." Tang En took the initiative to wave hello.

"Merry Christmas..." Wood wore a winter sports jacket issued by the club, which was thickly put on his body, but he didn't feel bloated at all. On the contrary, his height of 1.8 meters [-] and a year of professional training made him look hole-in-the-wall Powerful - he doesn't just "look" like a pro anymore. "Are you busy tonight?"

Tang En spread his hands: "No. I'm alone, what can happen."

"...My mother invited you to dinner at home." Wood hesitated for a while, but still told his purpose of looking for Tang En.

Sophia?Hearing this news, Tang En immediately thought of that night alone with Sophia.He immediately smiled and said: "Okay, tell your mother, I will go tonight."

But Wood didn't walk away immediately, but stood in front of Tang En and continued to look at him.

"Is there anything else, George?" Dunn asked him.

Only then did Wood turn around and go back under the Christmas tree. There were not many people there, and he found his gift easily.Then he took his Christmas present, turned around and left, and went back to the youth team training base.

Tang En looked at his back, shrugged, and walked to his office.

After opening the door, he was startled by what he saw.The table was filled with gifts of all kinds, big and small...even a Christmas tree potted plant with a ribbon!

Seeing this scene, Dun En was honestly moved.For a head coach, besides the sense of self-satisfaction that results can give him, what else can make him feel that everything he has done is worthwhile, and what is it that makes him feel gratified?There is only an acknowledgment, the players, the fans, the club to themselves: you carry all our hopes, you are the head coach of Nottingham Forest, not some unknown kid who came out of nowhere!
Looking at the table full of gifts, Dunn knew that he, the "new" coach who had only led the team for two games, had already gained the trust and support of the entire team.Is this just because of leading the team to win two consecutive victories?No, on the subway in London, when he faced the drunk Millwall fans and stood in front of everyone on the team, Twain didn't know what kind of eyes the players looked at him. back view.

Abandoning players for their own future is not uncommon in the cruel world of professional football.Coaches are always used to sacrificing players for their own benefit.Tang En, on the other hand, chose to bravely stand up and protect his players when faced with a possible life-threatening situation.Maybe he only made this move because of Gavin's death, but in the eyes of the players, this man is worth everything they give to help him win and help him become a head coach.If he said: "Guys, I need you to win this game." Then no matter how strong the opponent is, they will fight with confidence.

The pile of gifts comes from players, coaches, team doctors, club presidents and marketing managers who have not yet taken office but have actually started working.Most of them were just cards, but Dunn still took them apart one by one to look at them.It's as happy as receiving a greeting card from the girl you like when you were in school.

Sergey Rybrov: Thank you sir, you let me regain my confidence.I used to regret coming here, thinking I was just constantly wasting my time.But now I'm glad I'm playing under you.Merry Christmas, I wish you a good mood every day.

Des Walker: Merry Christmas, Tony!Although I will be leaving the team after this season, I think the experience of working with you has been a valuable experience for me, and I have learned a lot from you.I hope that one day we can still work together.Remember, we are the best partners!

Evan Dougherty: Tony?Don't forget about our plans!victory!victory!We will be the best club presidents and managers.Also, Merry Christmas!

Alan Adams: Merry Christmas, Tony.Hopefully by this time next year, we will be over in England.By the way, your suggestion of building a player database system got Evan and I excited and it was a nice Christmas present.I'll be flying back to the States after Christmas to do this.

Looking at these cards, a layer of water vapor appeared in Tang En's eyes.He rubbed his eyes and continued to look.On this gloomy winter morning, the door of the office was wide open, and the cold wind from the corridor poured in, but Tang En felt that the room was like a warm spring day.
