Chapter 456 Volume [-] The Red Forest Drinks With Me
"Congratulations to Nottingham Forest, they have qualified for the 05-06 UEFA Champions League Final! For the Forest team who were still playing in the English Champions League a year ago, this is a great achievement and an inspiring result. Congratulations to them!"

A fireworks display began in the night sky, and even the players celebrating in the stadium couldn't help looking up and admiring the beauty.

The game was over, but the fans did not leave the stadium. They were still celebrating with the team in the stands, which can be called a "great" victory.

On the other side, the Arsenal players looked lonely, they stared blankly at the Forest players who were celebrating wantonly.

They tried their best in this game. They were able to equalize the total score in an unfavorable situation, then threatened the Forest team's gate several times, and finally entered the penalty shootout... They have used all available means and methods.However, this time luck was not on their side.

Wenger stepped onto the pitch, comforting his men one by one.Not far from him was Tony Twain who raised his arms high to celebrate the victory.

The man who talked to him in the rain and was drenched like a soaked rat had now become the winner in the contest with him.

Tang En was enjoying the joy after the victory, surrounded by excited smiling faces.Eastwood, Anelka, Franck Ribery, Ashley Young...etc, everyone laughed and shouted crazily.Tang En also laughed with them, until he saw George Wood, the smile on his face froze.

The team won and got a ticket to the final.But one person was shut out, and that person was the one who worked and contributed the most to this victory.

Gareth Bale, who missed a penalty kick, still had glistening tears on his face, but he smiled after all, because the team successfully advanced to the final, and he was not a sinner.

The smile on George Wood's face in front of him was a bit forced, obviously forced out.

Tang En lowered his raised arms, suddenly he was not in the mood to celebrate.

Just when he was about to go to comfort Wood, Albertini walked out quickly from the slanting stab.Tang En saw Albertini put his arms around Wood's shoulders, and then reached out to stroke his head.

The rest of the team was still celebrating, singing and bouncing from one end of the court to the other.

Only this corner is missing.

Tang En turned around and walked down. He saw Wenger, so he took the initiative to walk over to shake hands.

But he didn't know what to say.

"It was... a good game, wasn't it?"

Wenger forced a smile and said, "Yes."

Tang En planned to comfort the other party: "You could have won... If Wood didn't foul..."

"Final, he can't participate?"

Dunn nodded.

"That's a pity, your opponent must be very happy to hear this news. Good luck, you really need some luck..."

"Thank you." Tang En smiled.

"Goodbye, I have to comfort my people." Wenger pointed to those lost Arsenal players.

"Goodbye." Tang En waved him goodbye, then turned and walked towards the corridor.

※ ※ ※

At the press conference after the game, a reporter mentioned George Wood's absence from the final due to his third yellow card. He asked whether Wood's absence was a heavy blow to the Forest team.

Tang En admitted that Wood's absence would affect the team, but he did not admit that it was a "heavy blow". He said that no matter who the Forest team's opponent was, he would not give up the game because of Wood's absence.Without Wood, they have Albertini, and ten other team-mates who have performed well, Forest is a team, not just one man's team.

Although what Tang En said was very reasonable, the image of Nottingham Forest in the outside world has always been a united team.But at this moment, looking at the expression on his face, the reporters sitting below all thought that he was stubborn and didn't want to admit it.

Whether it is Barcelona or AC Milan, their offensive power is not weak. Without George Wood's crazy running and interceptions, tackles, and fouls in the midfield, this forest team wants to stop the opponent's attack It's just too difficult.

This is not a "heavy blow" at all, it is a "fatal blow".

The Forest team made it to the final, but paid a heavy price.The team's field captain, defensive core, and in a sense the spiritual pillar will not be able to participate... Not only is Dunn not used to it, but his players will also find it awkward.

When the carnival crowd outside gradually calmed down from the excitement and passion, I believe that many people would feel a little chill on their backs when they thought that Wood would not be able to play in the finals.

So Wood became the focus of this press conference. Even though he was not here, almost all the questions thrown to Twain were about Wood. On the contrary, no one was concerned about the fact that the Forest team reached the final. mentioned.

Tang En was very sorry about Wood's matter, but if everyone only asked about Wood and didn't care about the team's results or other people, including him...he would be very angry.

"If you want to know something about Wood, you can ask it alone, or I can hold a special press conference attended by Wood and let you ask whatever you want, but I don't guarantee whether he is willing to answer these questions. Now it is Forest The team entered the final, I admit that George Wood contributed a lot of strength and made great sacrifices. But it is difficult for us to enter the final, and it has nothing to do with the other ten people? George Wood would rather take the card, all You want to send the team to the finals, but you only care about the impact of his absence... What, are you going to criticize George Wood in tomorrow's report for being hot-headed and only caring about yourself and the team?" Tang En said with a sullen face. Ask the noisy reporters off the field. "Are you here for this post-match press conference, or are you just here to tear me down? I repeat, I will refuse to answer any questions about George Wood's absence from the final!"

Tang En played his "big card" again, and he did it with ease.He is not afraid of offending the media, because he is very clear that he did not ask the media to interview him, but the media begged him to be interviewed.Now that he is the most beautiful person, he is not afraid of offending others.

The press conference fell into embarrassment for a while, but it was Pierce Bruce who came to the rescue. He stood up and asked a few questions about the game evaluation, and finally got Dunn to speak again.

※ ※ ※

When Twain lost his temper because of the endless questions about Five at the press conference, the Nottingham Forest players had already returned from the pitch to the locker room.

At this time, after everyone gradually calmed down, they discovered a very serious problem.

"George, is that the third yellow card you got in overtime?" As soon as Ribery said this, the locker room, which was still lively just now, suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their heads to look at Wood.

"Yeah." Wood nodded.

"Then... the final..."

This question hardly needs an answer, everyone knows what it means to get three yellow cards in the Champions League.

Silence quickly spread throughout the locker room.

Albertini clapped his hands to break the awkward atmosphere. "Why are you depressed? Didn't we make it to the final? George paid the price, just want to see you like this? What do we usually look like after we win?"

In the past, after the Forest team won, the locker room would become a mess, like a small-scale party, the music kept playing, and everyone was naked, fighting from the bathroom to the locker room.It's enough to make a fuss, or until the head coach Twain reminded him, he restrained himself.

"Today we won not just an ordinary game, it was the Champions League semi-final! Do you know how important it is? How amazing? We can go to the Champions Cup final, which countless people can't go! Look at you now, it seems I don't want to go to the same... Hey, don't waste George's efforts, don't let George's yellow card go for nothing!"

Franck Ribery stood up with his arms held high. He started the conversation and had to finish it. "OK, although it's a pity that George can't participate, but I don't think we have little chance in the final. I don't care what our opponent is Barcelona or AC Milan, I want to show them how good I am! I want to break through They can't find North—"

Ashley Young whistled: "Be careful not to let someone suddenly find you—"

Ribery stared: "How is it possible? I am from the French national team..."

Before he could finish speaking, Eastwood imitated Twain's voice and said, "Substitute."

Hearing Tang En's voice, Franck Ribery was startled: "Boss! You're back so soon?" He turned his back to the gate and couldn't see what was going on there.He didn't hear Tang En's answer, but there was a huge burst of laughter in the locker room.

"Freddy!" Franck Ribery became furious and rushed towards Eastwood. "I knew it was you... you bastard!"

After being disturbed by two people, the atmosphere finally became lively.

Albertini turned his head to look at Wood, this kid was still pretending to be cool with a blank face.

Just when the two were having a good time, the door of the dressing room was pushed open, and Tang En appeared at the door with a bad expression on his face.

"Franck Ribery, what are you doing?" Seeing the Frenchman jumping up and down after Eastwood, Tang En asked.

"Don't try to lie to me, gypsy kid!" Ribery didn't look back.There was another burst of laughter in the locker room, and Gareth Bell even knelt on the ground laughing.

"What are you calling?" Tang En frowned.

At this time, Eastwood, who was in front of Ribery, shrugged at him and made a gesture of shutting up.Only then did he realize that it wasn't Eastwood who spoke to him just now, but the real Tony Dunn.

"Boss..." He stopped and turned to look at Tang En who was standing at the door with embarrassment.

"I thought a 120-minute game would be enough for you all to get down on the ground, but I didn't expect that you still have the energy left. Do you want to run back to the hotel from here?" Tang En said with a sneer.

"Uh, no...no need." Ribery obediently returned to his seat.Franck Ribery has nothing but respect for the coach who personally excavated him from the French low-level league and trained him as a member of the French national team.

"Guys, we're in the final, it's amazing, I want to congratulate you all. Have fun tonight, but don't play too late... Training is back tomorrow afternoon, the season is not over, it's not time to celebrate Time. Remember, we still have two league games and a Champions League final! Now is not the time to relax!"

Although Tang En's words were very reasonable, but in the eyes of the people below, they always felt that something was wrong with their boss.

Why on earth is something wrong... Maybe it's because of the yellow card?
"Okay, get back in the car. I bet you don't want to have a meaningful evening in the locker room, do you?"

The players left the locker room one after another and walked towards the bus parked outside the stadium. At this time, the fans singing from nearby could still be heard. For Forest players and Forest fans, today’s The wonderful time of the evening has just begun.

When Wood walked past Tang En, Tang En stopped him.

"Come with me for a drink."

Wood froze for a moment, he didn't expect Tang En to make such a request. "Professional players can't drink..."

"You drink juice, I drink. It's settled like this. When you arrive at the hotel, you follow me."

Wood didn't object.

In the car, on the way back to the hotel, Tang En announced a cheering news to his players: "You are free at night, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to go back to the hotel. But when I train tomorrow afternoon, I will Wilford sees every one of you here, don't be late!"

※ ※ ※

Back at the hotel, the team members put their things back in their rooms and dispersed in groups.Ribery wanted to go out to play with Wood and let him relieve his mood, but Wood refused.

Then Franck Ribery watched Wood and Tang En walk out of the hotel together and whistled.

"I thought it was a date with a beautiful woman, and I planned to follow her secretly...I didn't expect it to be with the boss...It's so boring."

Wood thought he was just drinking in the bar downstairs of the hotel, but Tang En dragged him into a taxi directly.

"Where are you going, Tony?" Randy James, the driver sitting in the front seat, asked without looking back.

“Old place to drink.”

"learn."

"Drinking can't be done anywhere?" Wood felt very strange.

"I'm not used to drinking in strange places." Tang En glanced at him.

Kenny Burns' Forest Bar is brightly lit inside and out, and the Forest team logo on the outer wall is particularly eye-catching at night and can be seen from afar.The game was over long ago, but more and more people came here. The gate opened and closed, closed and opened again, and people came in from outside one after another.

These people all came to the bar to drink and chat with friends after watching the game at home.The game that just ended was really exciting. If you don't come out for a few drinks and a few words, you won't be able to fall asleep at night.

Burns sat busy behind the bar, and all the waiters he hired were too busy, so he had to do it himself.But he was very busy. After seeing the Forest team knock out Arsenal with a penalty kick on TV just now, he was so excited that he shouted loudly with the others and raised his glass to drink.

Fortunately, he didn't say impulsively: "I'll treat you to tonight's drink!" Otherwise, he would have lost a lot...

"There are so many people!" Fat John squirmed, squeezed to the front of the bar with great effort, and reached out to ask Burns for a drink, "It's too exaggerated!"

"Come back from the stadium?" Burns asked as he brought him a drink.

"Yeah. As soon as the game was over, I rushed back with Bill and the others. I didn't expect there were so many people...Hey, Kenny, did you set a record for the number of people in your bar tonight?"

"Who has the leisure to count such figures?" Burns poured the wine into the glass and handed it to John. "But... it was really lively. Thanks to Tony, I have a good business today."

"Then buy me a drink for free!" Tang En's loud voice sounded not far away.

Both Burns and John were taken aback.

Tang En stood in the crowd with George Wood behind him, and the fans next to him patted Tang En on the shoulder to congratulate him, or thank him.Tang En was very used to their intimacy, and greeted the people around him with a smile.

"Tony!" John was a little surprised, "You haven't been here for a long time!"

"Busy, but busyness finally pays off." Tang En pulled Wood over.He didn't need to squeeze like John. Wherever he went, everyone stepped out of the way.

"Look, it's George Wood!"

"Hi George, hello! You had a great night!"

"Welcome Captain!"

Wood reacted somewhat unnaturally to the voices of the fans around him who were red-faced and still smelling of alcohol. He followed closely behind Tang En as if he was avoiding these people.

Burns saw the embarrassed boy behind Dunn, and he laughed: "Guys, what to do! Don't scare our hero!" Then he smiled at Wood, "Relax, George , would you like a drink?"

Wood shook his head: "The players don't drink..."

Tang En interrupted him: "Give him juice. Give me a glass of whiskey with ice."

Seeing John next to him, Tang En punched him in the stomach. "Went to watch the game?"

John rubbed his stomach and laughed: "Of course you have to watch this kind of competition live!"

Tang En smiled and said to Burns: "A glass of wine for everyone here, my treat."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of cheers in the bar.

Tang En turned around and raised his glass to those people: "Let me have a toast."

John raised his glass high, and raised his hands at the same time, and he shouted: "To the Champions League final, to Tony, to our new captain! To Nottingham Forest - Cheers!!"

"cheers--!!"

Holding the juice, Wood looked at this group of fanatical fans, they were even crazier than they were in the stadium stands...
