Chapter 450 Volume [-] Three Days After the Red Forest
Nottingham Forest brought back a goal from the away game. For the second leg of the game, the Forest team has the psychological advantage.

Twain certainly still had an impression. In the season he remembered, Arsenal finally eliminated Villarreal with a total score of 1:0 in two rounds with defensive counterattacks, and then reached the final of the Champions League. This was the first time in their club history. once.

However, for his own benefit, he had to cruelly obliterate the most glorious Champions League achievement in the history of the Arsenal club.

Nottingham Forest will definitely enter the final!

But before making it to the finals, there was one thing Twain still needed to worry about.

"Tang, what are you mainly responsible for in the youth team now?"

"Basic training."

Hearing this answer, Tang En snapped his fingers: "That's great. Come over to my side after training tomorrow?"

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to ask you to help me train a person, from scratch, from the most basic part."

Don guessed who it was: "George Wood?"

"Yes, it's him."

"But..." Tang recalled Wood's performance in the youth team, "His foundation has always been very good."

"That depends on what kind of foundation it is. I want you to help me practice his shooting. Whether he can score a goal or not, I hope that at least seven of his ten shots can hit the goal frame."

"Okay, but that's not a month or two..."

"It's okay, anyway, you will be transferred to the first team next season, so you should start working early."

Hearing what Tang En said, Tang En was a little surprised.Tang En hadn't told him before that he would be transferred to the first-team coaching staff so soon.

"Ah... I forgot to tell you." Seeing Tang's expression, Tang En remembered, he scratched his head, "I decided to transfer you to the coaching staff of the first team next season to help me. We are short of manpower, The team lineup is expanding day by day, and I need more coaches. What's wrong?" Seeing that Tang didn't express anything, Tang En asked.

"I didn't expect...that's all."

"What didn't I expect? Why did I find you in Chengdu? Wasn't it just to let you come here to partner with me? There is no one in the world who can cooperate with me tacitly, only you, Don."

Tang looked up at Tang En, "Do you really think so?"

Tang En nodded without hesitation.

"Ok."

Seeing Tang nodded, a smile appeared on Tang En's face.

"You really care about Wood."

"I have a relationship with him..."

※ ※ ※

After the training ended the next day, Tang En left Wood behind.

Players walked past Wood laughing and laughing in groups, and some winked at him.Everyone knew that Tang En's keeping Wood here must be for extra practice, this is not an "amateur activity" that everyone likes.

Wood stood where he was, looking at his teammates walking past him, without any discomfort on his face.Extra training is really a good "leisure activity" for him.

After everyone had left, Tang En brought Tang to the stadium.

"You all know each other, so I won't introduce you."

Wood didn't expect that the person who came to train him was not Tang En, but Tang, he was taken aback for a moment.

"What? You didn't know each other after half a month?" Tang En joked with Wood.

"No... what are we practicing?" Wood shook his head.

"En. Practice shooting." Dunn mentioned the training subjects, and Wood was stunned again.

"George, do you know that in the match against Arsenal, why did your shot hit the goal frame?" Tang En asked.

Wood thought about it carefully, and he couldn't remember the feeling when he shot the goal.All he knew was that he was happy, and nothing else.

Tang En shrugged and turned to look at Tang.

"You still don't know why you can shoot a football within the range of the goal frame, George." Don said. "You shoot again." He kicked a football over and pointed to the goal in front of him.

Wood stopped the football, took a few steps back, then sprinted for a run-up, rounded his thigh, and kicked... a volley!
Tang En and Tang looked up at the football flying towards the sky, and the former still hadn't forgotten to whistle.

"Well, I firmly believe that his shot in the last game was pure luck." Tang En patted Tang on the shoulder, "You can figure it out."

Tang stepped forward and grabbed Wood: "George, you don't have to use all your strength to shoot. Besides, why do you have to raise your toes? Do you remember how you practiced shooting in the youth team?" ?”

Wood shook his head: "I didn't practice shooting in the youth team..."

Tang En explained to Tang on the side: "When he first came, he said he wanted to play as a striker, so I put him on the striker line, and the coaches also trained him as a striker. But soon found that he was not a striker at all. As a striker, I asked him to play as a defensive midfielder, and they never let him have any more shooting training."

After listening to Tang En's explanation, Tang shook his head helplessly. "The youth team coach at the time was David Chris Lacke?"

Tang En nodded.

Don didn't say anything, he turned to look at Wood. "Let's start from scratch. George, this training is very long and boring. There are no shortcuts. Are you sure you want to practice?"

Wood turned his head to look at Tang En who was standing on the side, and then said to Tang: "Demi hopes that I can become a player like him."

Before Tang could open his mouth, Tang En spoke first: "Let's put aside other people's expectations first. George, what do you hope for yourself? Do you want to continue working in the position of midfield engineer, or do you want to... do something Change? I'm not going to force you to do something you don't like, in fact, a pure midfield engineer is also very important for the team, and it is great to play to the extreme in this regard."

Wood looked down for a moment, then looked up and said, "I guess ... I like the feeling of shooting and participating in the offense."

Tang En sighed, this should be Wood's real thought.

"Okay. From today on, you will practice shooting with Tang for half an hour every day after training, and we will also conduct other offensive exercises for you during normal training."

Wood nodded to accept the arrangement.

"Let's get started, Don." Tang En patted Tang on the shoulder and backed out.He basically can't get involved in this kind of training. He is not good at doing these detailed training. In the first team, these are the responsibility of the coaching staff.However, he can take this opportunity to observe Tang's training at a close distance, and have a more intuitive understanding before being transferred to the first team.You know, this is the first time he has watched Tang train players at close range.

Wood is very cooperative with Tang, he is not as stubborn as when he first came here.Don was also very patient, more patient than the average person, and no matter how outrageous Wood's shots were, he never showed any impatience.He repeatedly explained to Wood the points that need to be paid attention to when shooting, and then broke down one of the simplest and most basic shooting movements, and demonstrated it to Wood a little bit.And so on over and over until the sun goes down.

"OK! The time is over!" Tang En raised his finger to point to the watch.He didn't even pay attention to the time and was too busy watching the training.In fact, the training process was very boring and monotonous, but Tang En just watched it very engrossed.

In the setting sun, George Wood, who was soaked in sweat, simply took off his shirt, and shot the football towards the goal again and again with his shirtless, repeating the simplest actions. The whistle from Tang’s mouth rang again, but there was no What sounded was loud scolding.

Tang En thought he couldn't do this, he was not a very patient person.Seeing Wood like this, he probably would have cursed at him a long time ago—why are you so fucking stupid!This is the simplest and most basic movement, so simple that it cannot be simpler, and so basic that it cannot be more basic!
But Tang didn't. From his voice, he couldn't even hear the slightest emotional fluctuation, neither disappointment nor joy.

Hearing Tang En's shout, Tang stopped the training, and he calmly said to the panting Wood: "Continue tomorrow, George."

"Okay...okay." Wood replied with a breath.

"Go back, George. Say hello to your mother for me." Tang En and Tang bid farewell to Wood at the gate, and walked in different directions.

"It's the first time I saw Wood talking heavily after training. I don't think the amount of training is too much..." Tang En asked Tang on the way home.

"If you keep doing the same movement over and over again, it will make you feel very tired."

"Is there really only one movement?"

Don nodded.

"That's right, train that kid well and try to get him down every day! By the way, do you feel that he has that talent?"

Tang shook his head: "Not yet."

"Hmm..." Tang En pondered for a while, "Take your time, there is still one year left."

"One year? Oh, Albertini."

"I have to make two preparations..."

The two walked away side by side.

※ ※ ※

Wood's training program is going on every day, rain or shine.It's not that Tang En intends to make Wood into a devil and a muscular man, it's because he doesn't have much time.Albertini will be retiring at this time next season. If Wood doesn't achieve anything at that time and his performance on the field is still as jerky as in the previous two games, Twain will stop thinking about it and concentrate on transferring in the summer The market is looking for a replacement for Albertini.

It's just that at that time, whether you can find the right person is another matter.Dunn doesn't think so much now, and there is still about a year before that time.

As the game drew closer, more and more media gathered in Nottingham.Some people want to see if Arsenal can reach the Champions League final for the first time in history, and some people want to see if Nottingham Forest, the dark horse of this competition, can be blacked out to the end.

This is England's civil war, but it has attracted media attention from countries other than England.The Catalan and Western Naya media want to see which team Barcelona's opponent will be in the final, while the Italian and Milan media also want to know who AC Milan's opponent is in the final.

Arsenal, or Nottingham Forest?
See you in three days.

※ ※ ※

In the middle of the two Champions League games, Forest will host Manchester United.At this juncture, it is unfortunate to meet an opponent who is chasing him closely.

"It's very simple, there is nothing to embarrass." Facing the frowning Chris Lark, Dunn told the coaching staff in his office about the next work plan. "Give up this game against Manchester United."

The members of the coaching staff all looked at him.

"Some of you must think I've given up on the league, don't you?" No one answered, and even if they really thought so, they couldn't say it.

Tang En smiled: "I'm very glad that we met Manchester United at this time, not any other team. The reason is very simple. For the sake of the Champions League, we can't do our best in this league between the two semi-finals. It was almost a game that had to be dropped. If it was destined to lose, I think it is better to lose to Manchester United than to lose to any other team. Now Manchester United are four points away from us. Even if they win us, we are still ahead of them. One point." Tang En raised his index finger, "This point is very important, there are two rounds left in the league, who is our opponent?" He looked at Chris Lack.

As an assistant coach, this is the question to answer. "Middlesbrough and Sunderland, both are away."

Hearing this answer, the coaches in the office laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Middlesbrough is the team that Nottingham Forest is least worried about. The Forest team is very good at playing Middlesbrough, while Middlesbrough seems to have a psychological shadow on the Forest team.Another opponent, Sunderland, is even less threatening-they have already been relegated ahead of schedule, and only accumulated 35 points in [-] league rounds. .

Although these two games are away games, it is not difficult for the Forest team to score six points.

That's why Twain said that. Anyway, because of preparations for the Champions Cup, he will definitely be delayed by a game. Then the delayed game happens to be against Manchester United. Instead, he only needs to lose this one. Don't worry about capsizing in the gutter due to lack of time to distract. , and then forced to fight Manchester United to the death, that would be really unfavorable.

Everyone knew Tang En's thoughts in their hearts, so they didn't have any doubts about this arrangement.

"This league will send substitutes, and the main players will all be rested. We will fully prepare for the second round of the semi-finals of the Champions Cup." Tang En stood up, put his hands on the desk, looked at his colleagues, and said word by word: " We must make it to the final!"

※ ※ ※

Everything was within Twain's plan. For the match against Manchester United, Nottingham Forest blatantly began preparations for the second round of the Champions League semi-final. They sent almost all substitutes, giving most of the main players a chance to rest.

Ferguson is doing his best, and his plan to win the away game is very clear.He must also know that Tang En will definitely give up this game. Regardless of whether he can reverse the Forest team in the future, the three points of this game must be won.

Nine and 10 minutes later, Ferguson and Twain got their wish.

Manchester United got the three points they wanted in the away game and narrowed the point gap with Nottingham Forest to only one point. This point gap can make them look forward to a lot.

And Tony Twain got his much-needed rest time at the cost of losing a game.At this moment, for the highest goal in the hearts of all club coaches, he can no longer take care of that much.

After three days, can he get what he really wants?
