Chapter 144 Volume [-] The Sky of Nottingham This is Eastwood!
Chapter 33 This is Eastwood!

The two woods, Eastwood and George Wood, met on the training ground on this day.Since the teammates had seen the demeanor of their new teammates at the gate, they were not so unfamiliar with each other, and those who were able to play would make jokes about Eastwood with the horse.The gypsy always had a very pleasant smile on his face, and he didn't care about the jokes.

The smile on his face disappeared only when he saw the silent George Wood.He didn't greet Wood, shake hands, or make any other friendly gestures, and Wood didn't.But don't think that Wood is the same as the other party because of grudges, it's just that he usually has this expression when he sees strangers.He had long forgotten what the player whose leg was tackled after his first reckless foul looked like and what his name was.

Tang En saw this scene from the side, and he didn't "kindly" remind George that his new teammate had had his leg broken by him.The personal grievances of the players need to be resolved at the right time.

Now... let's do this.

Eastwood is naturally extroverted, optimistic and cheerful, which can be seen in his ability to continue to play football and keep a smile after he broke his leg.Twain wasn't worried about his integration into the team at all.

But...will he be allowed to play in the FA Cup?
Nottingham Forest's opponent in the third round of the FA Cup is West Bromwich (West_Bromwich), who are also in the First Division.West Bromwich Albion currently ranks well in the league, ranking second with 26 points after 47 rounds, five points behind Norwich, which is the league leader.But the gap with the following teams is very close, from sixth to second in the league is only five points away.One piece of news that is very beneficial to Tang En's goal of surpassing this season is that there is only a two-point gap between No. 18 and No. 14 in the league, and only a three-point gap between No. 12 and No. 12 in the league. point gap.The gap between the mid-range teams is not that big. Three teams share 33 points, two teams share 35 points, and two teams share 36 points.

As long as the Forest team wins a few key games and doesn't make any big mistakes in the league, they can steadily improve their ranking and return to the first group.When the ranking rises to within ten, he can officially launch a sprint towards the promotion qualification.

Now Nottingham Forest has 31 points, ranking No.18 in the league.

It is precisely because of such close points that Twain dared to say the "big talk" of returning to the Super League after the end of this season.This is not an incredible miracle. Those who think it is a miracle just lack sufficient understanding and analysis of the situation.

For Twain, January and February are the most critical months. If the team loses the chain at this time, basically they really have to count on "miracles" if they want to catch up.

Twain must win two consecutive League Cup finals at the end of January.

After thinking about it this way, Twain still decided to give up the FA Cup.He hopes that West Bromwich Albion will go farther and farther on the road to the FA Cup, and if possible, please go directly to the final... That will distract the second-ranked team more and let Forest Bring it down...and then West Bromwich Albion, which reached the final of the FA Cup, please create a magnificent "remarkable record" of a second-tier league team entering the UEFA Cup!As for the places in the English Premier League, let our Forest team "reluctantly" replace you!
Tang En, who made this plan, told the coaching staff that the training arrangement was mainly for Nottingham Forest's next opponent in the league—Sunderland.This is an away game and Sunderland are fourth in the league.

For Twain, this belongs to the category of "a game that must be won no matter what, no matter what method is used".And this category includes all the teams currently ranked in front of Nottingham Forest.

In the away game, Twain still insisted on a defensive-oriented strategy. Sunderland's results at home were quite good, with seven wins, five draws and only one loss.It is indeed difficult to challenge such an opponent.The only thing Twain can take advantage of is that the team's defense is terrible. They have conceded the most goals among the top six - 38 goals.You must know that Bradford, ranked second to last, only conceded 39 goals...

So the coaching staff continued to use the league training plan, with Rebrov in midfield and Gareth Taylor at the front.These two spent the team's biggest investment this season, and no coach would rashly put them on the bench. Dunn drove Taylor to the reserve team to play two games, and that was enough personality.If you run into a good-natured head coach like Ranieri, no one dares to offend, and the team will be in chaos.Because of this, Chelsea's performance this season has made the new boss Abramovich a little bit embarrassed.

Off topic.

The person Tang En focused on during the training was the newcomer Freddie Eastwood.After two days of training, all members of the coaching staff were completely relieved of the player who had broken his leg, and he had no problems in terms of ability.

Even Walker had to express his admiration for Tang En's vision again.He really didn't know how Dunn found out about this person who had never played in any first team, was abandoned by his old club because of a broken leg, and then went to play in the amateur league...

Of course, Tang En couldn't tell him that he saw the video of him playing football three years later in 2007, and also used him in a football manager game.He simply didn't give any explanation, and let his colleagues look at him with admiration.This is actually very good, and it will help you continue to establish your status and authority.

Can't show everything, even if he is your best work partner and friend.Especially a head coach who needs charisma must have a sense of mystery that everyone cannot understand.Just like Brian Clough, Peter Shilton, England's national goalkeeper and the main player of Nottingham Forest's two European Cup wins, said: "Coaches like Shankly, Ramsey and Stern are all great. They have the aura and the magic, but Clough also has the mysterious X-factor."

Therefore, it turns out that maintaining a proper sense of mystery and inaccessibility in front of others can actually help to enhance one's prestige and prestige in the team.

On January [-]rd, at the City Stadium, the Forest team faced West Bromwich Albion in the third round of the FA Cup.Before the game, Twain had Eastwood appear in the middle of the field, wearing a Forest team jersey to meet the fans.The fans' reaction to this strange guy was a little cold, and there was no welcome scene such as cheers shaking the city stadium.

The meeting ceremony itself was also very simple. Eastwood went up and waved, holding a Nottingham Forest scarf and standing on the sidelines for reporters to take pictures. In less than 5 minutes, he came off the field, took off his jersey, sat in the box in the stands fully dressed and watched the game-he didn't even enter the squad for the game.

In this game, the Forest team lost 1:2 at home to West Bromwich Albion and were eliminated from the FA Cup.The fans were a little disappointed, but still applauded the team after the game.After all, the team has reached the semi-finals of the League Cup, so don't be too greedy.

But Eastwood, who appeared before the game, quickly became the focus of media attention.It's very simple, because some media discovered that Eastwood had just broken his leg and had been playing in amateur teams all the time, without any experience in the first team of professional teams.

Although this deal only cost the club [-] pounds, the media who like to make a fuss still exaggerate it.Many media questioned Tang En's vision of people, and at the same time questioned Eastwood's ability.

And the media somehow got the dramatic scene that happened after Eastwood just arrived in the Forest team that day. They exaggerated what happened that day, mocked Eastwood as much as they could, and finally mocked Eastwood The report asserted: “A gypsy who lives in a caravan and brings horses into the training base to report, as if living a primitive life, can only play in amateur teams after breaking his leg, and usually helps his father sell second-hand cars People... Tony Twain's sharp knife? The hope of Nottingham Forest? This world must be crazy!"

In fact, Bruce was also a little worried about this newcomer's ability, but out of trust in Tang En, he didn't publish any articles that were unfavorable to Eastwood in the newspaper, but cautiously expressed his pessimism about Eastwood's prospects. Be careful with your words.But other media can't control that much.The forest team and Millwall did not fight the war, they are a little bit reconciled.No, it was a good opportunity for them to catch, how could they let it go so easily?

“…I’ve seen pros working as painters, I’ve seen pros working as plumbers, I’ve seen pros working in restaurants...but I’ve never seen pros traveling with their families In the car, a professional player living a homeless life!"

"As far as we know, when Freddie Eastwood was playing for the West Ham youth team, he was severely violated by a player from Nottingham Forest in a youth league match and broke his leg. Could it be that Mr. Tony Twain was born Did you sign such a player who has never proven his abilities because of the mentality of paying off debts? Hey, Mr. Tang En, are you planning to change your job to become a philanthropist?"

"Charlton Club almost became the club played by Freddie Eastwood. At that time, Eastwood hoped to go to this south London team for trial training. But after the club knew that he had broken his leg, I rejected him without hesitation."

Of course, it wasn't all doubts, there were still people who stood up to help Twain and Eastwood, even though there was only one person - Stimson, the head coach of Eastwood's former team Grace Athletic. Sir, he is angry at the media mocking Eastwood, and he also thinks that the player he has persuaded to return to the court will surprise everyone with his performance. "When he was playing in my team, he often scored five to six goals in a game!" But who would care about the evaluation of an amateur team coach?His words were quickly used by the media as a new excuse for ridicule-"A player who has received formal youth training from a professional team, what is there to boast about scoring five or six goals in amateur games?"
