The above is the final list of Nottingham Forest this season, with their own jersey numbers in brackets.When the list was announced, people's eyes were all on Franck Ribery.This young man who couldn't even play in the French third division and was in danger of unemployment, actually wore the No. 7 jersey in Nottingham Forest!
You must know that the smaller the number in the team, the closer it is to the main position.What does it mean for Twain to give the number 7 to Ribery?It means that he attaches great importance to this French scar face.Tony Twain's vision of seeing people has never disappointed anyone, so is there anything special about Ribery?
The outside world's doubts about Ribery stem from the fact that they still don't understand Ribery's ability, but the team has no objection to the arrangement of this number.Because from the first day he came to this team, Ribery has shown his ability on the wing in training. His dribbling and speed are all weapons that allow him to gallop on the wing. In addition, his shooting is also very good.
Even his direct competitor, Chris Commons, had to admit that the Frenchman was better than himself after a week of training contact: "Is this the level of the French third division?"
Tang En replied with a smile: "No, Frank is an exception."
When Scarface first entered the team, he was taciturn and didn't like to talk. He seemed to be always worried that his teammates would laugh at his looks.In fact, while the players did marvel at Ribéry's shocking scar, no one mocked and humiliated him for it.This kind of thing will not happen to Tony Twain's team.
Tang En intentionally asked Ribery to explain the origin of his scar in the locker room, and everyone sympathized with him.
Finding that his teammates did not look down on him because of this, Ribery finally let go of his nervous heart.He gradually became more talkative, and soon recovered his lively nature.Although he can't speak English yet, he is studying hard and hopes to integrate into the team as quickly as possible.
He knows how difficult it is for him to get the job now.With only 150 euros a month in subsidies, and the days when you can't even pay the rent, not everyone can be "fortunately" experienced.He knows how difficult his life was before, so that he has a special affection for money.Now his weekly salary in Nottingham Forest is [-] pounds. In the team, this is not a high salary, at most it is a mid-range level, but for the poor and frightened Ribery, this is comparable to any of his previous clubs. He made a lot of money playing football, and he knew that as long as he performed well, better treatment would come sooner or later. The better he performed on the court, the sooner that day would come.
The head coach valued him, he was satisfied with the treatment, the relationship with the teammates was good, a brand new environment, a brand new league... What else did he have to worry about?He just wants to start the Premier League as soon as possible and prove to everyone that Frank Ribery is from the French third division, but he is worthy of the salary given by the team and the trust of the head coach!
Dunn didn't know what Ribery was thinking, but he could tell that the French kid was working very hard in training.He had seen such vigor in George Wood before.For those who have been poor, they will cherish the opportunity to make money now, and they are not qualified to slack off.
There are many successful people, but they all have one thing in common - the winners work a thousand times harder than the losers.Regardless of whether this effort is voluntary or forced by life.
George Wood has succeeded, and his debut is still impressive.Twain believes that Ribery can also succeed... Just kidding!During the World Cup in Germany, Domenech, the head coach of the French national team, will definitely call someone from me!With the degree of development of the British media, Ribery will definitely become famous earlier than when he played in France.Now I just hope that Ribery will not forget his current heart after becoming famous.

After confirming the lineup of the first team, Twain cleaned up some people that the team didn't need. They either went to the reserve team, or chose to be loaned or sold to other interested clubs.
Unlike the sense of accomplishment of buying someone, Twain still has a lot of affection for the team he has led for half a year. Seeing that those who were still fighting for the championship and promotion spots together last season had to leave, he had no choice. .If the team wants to develop, those who can't keep up will have no choice but to be eliminated.Many people in the original Forest team lineup can no longer adapt to the Premier League. Their strength is limited. It is impossible for the Forest team to give them free salaries and let them dawdle in the team.
Although professional football has a warm side, it is still very cruel in general.If you fail to meet the requirements, you will be eliminated. At this time, no one will sympathize with you, because that is the reason why you are not strong enough.
Fortunately, everyone knows this, and no one has illusions about being able to stay in the team.After seeing the signings of the Forest team this summer, many people understand their situation-the Forest team has no place for you. At this time, there are still people who remember themselves, so let's find another way out.
Rebrov is gone, Ian Jess is gone, Gareth Taylor is gone, Chris Doig is gone, Matthew Louis-Jean is gone, George Robertson is gone, Danny Sauna was rented out, and Gareth Williams also left... The team that Twain took over at the beginning is completely different from what it is now.
Those who should come have come, and those who should have gone have left.Faced with a stable team, Twain and David Chrislake could finally devote themselves to the team's tactical training.
He realized his idea in the European Championship.
The success of the Greek team touched him a lot. Although the Forest team looked very high-profile in the transfer market, Twain knew that defense was the key to gaining a firm foothold in the first Premier League season.If there is no accident, the Forest team will maintain the configuration of last season in the midfield-two defensive midfielders, and two full-backs with outstanding personal abilities.The main task of the defensive midfielder is to defend, build a wall in front of the defense line, and the task of attacking is not heavy.Twain had relatively high requirements for the two full-backs. They were required not only to actively return to defense, but also to be able to jump in and participate in the offense in a timely manner. In addition, they often had to fight each other alone, so personal skills were extremely important. They not only It is a winger who can pass the ball and assist, and he must be a winger who can score goals by himself to solve the battle.
Tang En believes that Chris Commons, Frank Ribery, Ashley Young and Alan Lennon can fully meet his requirements, otherwise there is no need to buy them.
Unlike the League Cup final against Middlesbrough, Twain's defense emphasized the importance of midfield control. It would not easily give the midfield to the opponent and let the opponent siege their own goal. That would be too dangerous.
Regardless of whether the Forest team is attacking or defending, the midfield is where Twain must win. The chain reaction of losing control in the midfield is terrifying.This is why he has worked far more in the midfield than in the striker.
George Wood and Albertini should occupy the two starting midfield positions. Wood is young and has outstanding physical strength, so the defense can be handed over to him, while Albertini assists Wood in defense, mainly relying on his own experience and passing to dispatch the center operation of the field.He did this job when he was in the Italian national team and AC Milan, and Dunn believed that he would have no problems in the Forest team.
On the defensive line, Hierro is a sure candidate for the main position.Even though he was 36 years old, Tang En believed that he was completely qualified for this position.His experience is what the team needs most on the field. As for shortcomings such as slow turning, with Wood here...what are you afraid of?
Hierro's partner should be Matthew Epson, Wes Morgan and Piqué are still too young, and Clint Hill's defensive position makes him only a substitute.The good news for Piqué is... Although the central defender cannot be the main force, Twain intends to let him try to be a right back - in the history in his memory, when Piqué was loaned to Zaragoza , At the beginning, he couldn't play at all. Later, Diogo was injured, and he was arranged by the head coach to play as a guest right back. As a result, he did well in his new position.At the beginning of that season, in order to make up for Piqué's [-]-game rule, Zaragoza made Piqué a jack-of-all-trades, playing as a central defender, a full-back, and even a defensive midfielder.Moreover, Pikui did a good job in these positions, and Tang En also realized the comprehensiveness of this kid Pikui. Although he would not deliberately train Pikui to be a jack-of-all-trades in order to fulfill his previous promise, which coach would not How many comprehensive players do you like in the team?
When the team is reduced due to injuries, one more all-around player will have one more choice and buffer time.Of course, Twain still had to focus on training Piqué to play central defender, which was also his favorite and best position.

During the summer training camp, the Forest team played several warm-up matches, and most of their opponents were local English teams.The reputation of the Forest team has not yet allowed overseas clubs to invite them to play warm-up matches.
There were winners and losers in the results of the competition, and Dunn didn't pay much attention to the results at this time.The warm-up match is not set up for the pursuit of victory. For the coaches, the warm-up match generally has two main functions:
One, let the team coach inspect the competitive state and physical condition of the players who have returned to the team after a vacation and started training, and solve problems in a timely manner.
Second, let the coaches investigate the running-in of new and old players, test the actual effects of various tactics in training, find the most suitable one for the team's current staffing, and continue.
The warm-up match is a typical "process is more important than the result" game.During the warm-up match, Twain paid attention to the performance of several new players, to see if their integration into the team was optimistic, so as to decide whether to give them more opportunities at the beginning of the league.
Although the forest team is fighting on multiple fronts, Tang En does not intend to use the rotation system.The stability of the lineup is more important than anything else, not to mention that his team is not yet luxurious enough to rotate.He needs to determine the main lineup for the new season through the warm-up match, and then fine-tune it.
It is impossible for Hierro to persist for a full season. At the beginning of the season, he will be the main force. However, Dunn will gradually increase Piqué's playing opportunities later on. In the future, it will be young people who can rely on him.
Albertini's situation is different. Judging from his age and competitive status, it is not a big problem for him to be the main midfielder for a season...unless he is injured.Twain intends to be stable in the middle of the midfield. George Wood is partnered with Albertini. He has been cultivating the tacit understanding between the two since training. Although one speaks Italian and the other speaks English, they still have some The common language "football".
The feedback from training gave Tang En full of confidence in his plan. Albertini and Hierro are very, very good players, and they are also very, very good big brothers. Tang En hoped that they would teach the children in the team , they will try their best to do a good job.
Although Piqué is from Barcelona and Hierro is from Real Madrid, they are all players wearing red Forest jerseys in the Forest team. Many times, Twain saw Hierro take the initiative to stay and lead Pique to practice more, and shared with this young man. From his own successful experience, tell him when to grab, when to delay, how to get stuck...
And Albertini and George Wood are almost a match made in heaven.George Wood is a man who is somewhat silent, but also somewhat arrogant due to inferiority complex. This kind of person is generally not likable.But Albertini was able to get along with such a withdrawn Wood.Dunn even asked Albertini in private, pretending to be casual, what he thought of his little partner in the midfield. Albertini liked Wood very much, and the reason was that he was serious, hardworking, and not lazy.
Albertini was not a high-profile person when he was playing cards in the AC Milan team. He was approachable and helpful, which earned him the respect of his teammates.Otherwise, how could he become AC Milan's vice-captain?
So Tang En, who knew about this, handed over the captain's armband to Albertini the day after he joined the team.The media found it unbelievable to have a player captain the team who had just arrived on the second day and could not speak English.
Tang En insisted on his own opinion, and... the effect was really good.
Albertini's performance after wearing the captain's armband is more active. He always takes the initiative to help other people in the team, whether it is an old player or a newcomer who has just entered the Forest team.I didn't feel at all that it was not good to do this kind of thing when I first came to the team.Maybe this is someone who is born to be a leader.
When Dunn asked Wood to learn from Albertini, Wood asked him, "What exactly?"
In the beginning, Tang En wanted to list many of Albertini's advantages and let Wood pay attention to study, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that it would be too much trouble to list them one by one, because the Italians have a lot of advantages.So he simply said: "Learn everything about him, both on and off the court."
Tony Twain said so, and George Wood naturally did so.
Tang En himself didn't expect that he was just looking for an experienced veteran for the team to strengthen the staffing of the midfield, but he didn't expect to find a very good teacher for Wood instead.Now that's all right, he decided to intentionally cultivate George Wood's leadership skills.
As the head coach, he also needs to cultivate his direct descendants among the players. Otherwise, when he is in deep crisis in the future, who will be willing to take the initiative to stand up for him?
George Wood, who was brought into professional football by himself, is the best candidate.

While Tang En was leading the first team to make final preparations for the upcoming new season, Tang's work in the youth team was slowly getting on the right track.Unlike Tang En, when Tang joined the forest youth team at the beginning, none of his colleagues seemed to trust him too much.But soon Tang used his own efforts to impress others. After all, for him, these jobs are all familiar.
He can speak fluent English, he is familiar with everything in this country, he is familiar with the forest team as if he is familiar with his own home, and he can call out almost all the youth team members at once... When he was brought back to Nottingham Forest by Tang En, he felt The memory that had been sleeping deep in my heart began to wake up.
For him, being brought back to the forest team by Twain was an opportunity.His passion for football and his pursuit of becoming an excellent coach have never died.
The youth team is just his first step.
