Chapter 264 Volume [-] Red Forest Wood's Struggle
The disastrous defeat to Liverpool seems to be just a small twist, because in the next fourth round of the English League Cup, Nottingham Forest won the game with an absolute advantage. They eliminated League One (formerly League Two) 4-0 away. ) team Colchester.
On November 13th, in the No.2 round of the league, Nottingham Forest defeated Middlesbrough 1:[-] at home and maintained a complete victory record in the confrontation with McLaren.
From an outsider's point of view, the Forest team has no problems at all and is moving forward on the right path.
But in the No.14 league round on November 0th, the Forest team lost 1:[-] away to Tottenham Hotspur.
The bad luck is not over yet. On November 25th, Villarreal's home stadium, Villarreal, Spain, lost 0:2 to Nottingham Forest in the third round of the UEFA Cup group stage.In front of Argentine midfielder Romain Riquelme, George Wood is really like a kid making his debut, completely powerless.Wood always felt awkward when defending Riquelme. The change in rhythm of the Argentine made him confused and he didn't know how to defend, so he was at a loss.
Later, Albertini went to help Wood, but there was no way to organize the attack.Nottingham Forest's four midfielders let Riquelme contain himself alone.After the game, the Spanish media gave Riquelme a high score of nine points, which he fully deserved, while George Wood was given a low score of three points. The media commented that this young man was completely incompetent in the game. Knowing what he should do, the failure of the Forest team is directly related to his poor performance.
After the game, when the reporters questioned Wood overwhelmingly, Twain dismissed it with the phrase "I never make any public comments on my players after the game".
In fact, to put it bluntly——if we win, it’s okay to hear good things from me. If I’m happy, you are also happy.But if I lose, I'm sorry, if I criticize my players, I will close the door of the locker room and whisper, why should I tell you reporters?

On the day the game ended, the Forest team flew home overnight to prepare for the league three days later.

On the plane flying back to England from Spain, Dunn paid special attention to Wood.This kid seemed very silent, usually he didn't talk too much, but at this moment he was almost dumb.
Although they lost a UEFA Cup group match, it was an away game after all, and the situation was not so serious that they would not be able to appear in the group match if they lost this game.Their next group match will be against Partizan Belgrade, which is not very strong, and they can qualify as long as they draw.
In fact, everyone is aware of this psychologically, so other players returned to normal after a short period of depression after the game.Even young players have a deeper understanding of football than George Wood. From the beginning of training to now, they have encountered more than one failure and learned how to face this situation.For a failure of this level, you don’t need to be sad and depressed for a few days, just a few hours. When you wake up, you will find that your life and the world have not changed much.
They were doing their own things on the plane, chatting, listening to music, watching movies, sleeping and resting...the same as after any away game.
Only Wood, a fool, is still affected by failure.
Tang En turned his head to look several times, and found that Wood had a stern face and his brows were deeply furrowed—he had always had this expression since the final whistle blew.At that time, everyone was in a bad mood, and their expressions were similar, but now he is the only one who looks a little different.
Tang En looked around, then got up from his seat, walked to Wood's seat, and patted Albertini on the shoulder: "Demy."
The Italian understood what the head coach was going to do, so he got up and exchanged seats with Twain.He sat next to assistant coach David Chrislake, and Dunn sat next to Wood.
Wood was so absorbed in his own space that he didn't notice that there was a new person around him.Tang En woke him up: "George."
Wood looked sideways at him.
"Have you called your mother yet?"
He nodded.
"Hmm..." Tang En adjusted his sitting posture, rested his head on the back of the seat, closed his eyes and fell asleep. "Did you talk about the game?"
He couldn't see Wood's expression and movements, and after a while he heard Wood's low voice: "Yes."
"What did your mother say?"
"She said... I played well."
The corners of Tang En's mouth raised into a smile. Sophia would never doubt her son's ability, and would never speak ill of his son.
"Look, someone still praises you. Why are you frowning?"
"Mom, she..."
"Do you want to say that you think your mother is lying to you?" Tang En blocked what George Wood was going to say in his throat.
Wood froze for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
Tang En smiled and opened his eyes: "George, how many years have you been playing? Do you know how long that Argentine has been playing? Your mother didn't lie to you. She said that you played well because she was better than those stupid reporters. Knowing you better, you played normally in this game. We lost not because you were bad, but because Riquelme, the number 10 was too good. It's as simple as that." He shrugged and spread his hands.
Wood looked at Tang En and didn't speak, but Tang En completely understood what he meant. He nodded: "Yes, don't think about it so complicated. There are hundreds of thousands of professional players in the world , There are always some people who are strong and some people are weak. Some people were strong before, but now they are weak. Some people are weak now, but they will be strong in the future. Riquelme is strong now, but you are weak now..."
"But, I'm not reconciled..." Wood suddenly interrupted Tang En's eloquence.
Tang En, who was interrupted, was not unhappy at all. Instead, he looked at Wood and asked, "I didn't hear what you just said."
"I said..." Wood gritted his teeth, "Even if he is better than me, I would not be willing to lose to him."
Tang En grinned and smiled silently. He realized that he was worthy of being someone he valued. His temper and personality were similar to his original self...
"I understand, I understand your thoughts completely. I don't want to lose to him. It's no use just sitting here and sulking. George, remember the first time I went to the youth team to watch your game?"
Wood nodded. The day he tackled Eastwood's leg couldn't have been worse.He thought that this was the end of his way of making money from football, but he didn't expect to be scolded by the man in front of him in the locker room, which made him persevere, and finally won a first-team contract through his own efforts.
"Your performance in that game was...horrible." Dunn shook his head and recalled, "At that time, you had only received systematic training for more than two months, and you had no idea what to do on the court. Think of yourself as an idiot."
In order not to disturb others, Tang En lowered his voice and said.
"And then...the FA Youth Cup with the Arsenal youth team, you remember?"
Wood continued to nod.
"You successfully defended the opponent's core midfielder and made him suffer in front of you. Do you know the origin of that kid you've been following back and forth?"
This time Wood shook his head.
"He only won the World Junior Football Championship half a year ago, the best player in that tournament. In other words, he is the best player in the world at that age. But he has no chance to be seen by you. No."
Facing Tang En's praise, the expression on Wood's face did not change at all.
"Later you got the chance to represent Forest's first team. Think about that game...I still remember your debut, which was impressive and perfect." Dunn closed his eyes and said intoxicatedly. He didn't exaggerate.When Ribery achieved success in the English league, he was not as excited as he was when he watched Wood become famous in the first battle.Because Twain knew that Ribéry would definitely succeed. Even if he wasn't in the Forest team, he would go to Marseille in one year, and two years later he would become the best player in Ligue [-], and then he would be brought to the World Cup in Germany by Domenech and become famous... …
It's like watching a movie full of suspense. Everyone else watched it with gusto, but Tang En himself knew the result long ago, so it became a bit dull.
George Wood is different. Twain has never heard of this name before, and there is no such a number one figure in international football. After he softened his heart and let Wood enter the youth team for training, he didn't know if this kid would be able to play in the end. What a name.It is the ignorance of the future that creates the suspense.When Tang En saw the dazzling George Wood in the match between Forest and Reading, a huge sense of accomplishment instantly filled his heart. been compared.
This is true, a player who has not been trained by relying on his advanced memory to take advantage of it.In a sense, George Wood's success represented Tony Twain's success.
