Chapter 502 Volume [-] Storm Reserve Team

In the morning of the next day, before the team's new training day started, Tang En called all the team's coaches together for a meeting to discuss the tactical reform.Dunn told the other coaches what he discussed with the two assistant coaches yesterday, and everyone had different opinions.

Some people think that the previous tactics of the Forest team were very successful, and there is no need to reform the successful things.The loss to Fulham was just an accident, and the loss of a game cannot be used as a reference.Others think that changes must be made of course, but not now. After all, the team has just gone through a period of shocks, and stability is the theme.

Dunn naturally took these objections into consideration.He didn't use his status as the head of the sports department to overwhelm his colleagues. He answered those questions one by one and explained his thoughts.

The loss of a game can be said to be accidental, but there must be an inevitability behind the accidental, and everything does not just pop out out of thin air for no reason, there must be a reason for it to appear, this is the so-called "existence is reasonable".Of course, the loss to Fulham was due to the pride and underestimation of the head coach Tang En, but when Tang En stopped underestimating the enemy, he realized that he did not have another set of tactics to break the opponent's tactics.Perhaps the next time they meet such an opponent, Twain can make the team more vigilant, go all out, and end the game with an overwhelming gap in strength.But what if you encounter a team whose strength is almost the same as your own?

Sometimes, when you have to face it, you can't overcome it by raising your vigilance and going all out.The wisdom of the coach is not only used to remind everyone not to underestimate the enemy.

As for the question of whether to change now or later.Tang En thought that since it was already so turbulent, he didn't mind a little more turmoil.That's what he thought, he would rather let the bad things be crowded together than happen every now and then.What's more, change does not necessarily require turbulence, there will definitely be small ups and downs, but as long as it is well controlled, it will not hurt the foundation of the team at all.This is just a tactical adjustment, not a lineup cleanup.

Finally, everyone was convinced, and everyone agreed that the team needs to change at present.

However, after discussing for a long time, how to reform specifically.

This is the homework Dunn gave to the coaches.

"We have plenty of time, we can take our time, I'm not in a hurry." Tang En said, "This is a big deal, there's no rush. I have a beautiful painting in my mind, but I still need everyone to work together to help me complete it! "

※ ※ ※

The policy for the team to change is determined in this way. With the goal, things can be done easily. Everyone's job is just how to achieve this goal.

Tang is a person with strong professional ability. With him around, Tang En doesn't need to worry about such things.The team trains as usual every day, and everyone's morale is high after winning a game. The previous bad situation has passed, and they believe that the future is bright.Even if the opponent in the next game is against a strong team like Chelsea at home.

As for Twain, although the next match was against Chelsea, he didn't spend all his time studying his opponent in the office.For Mourinho's Chelsea, there is no need to specialize at all.It's not that Tang En underestimated the enemy again, but that this team is too familiar to Tang En, and I believe it is familiar to other opponents in the Premier League.Mourinho's arrogant character, while bringing him success in his career, also brought more attention.Everyone wanted to beat this arrogant guy, just like everyone wanted to beat Tony Twain's team.Another point is that Chelsea is different from the Forest team, that is, Chelsea is very, very rich, and the hatred of the rich is everywhere.So every team is very excited to play Chelsea.From this convenience, it is not difficult to understand why in the world Twain lived in, it would be so crazy for the Reading team to play against Chelsea.

Thanks to Twain, nothing happened in the just-concluded match between Chelsea and Reading. Petr Cech stayed peacefully until the end of the match. Chelsea won 3-1 easily.

Tang En did not study the opponent, but took the time to watch a game of the reserve team

After George Wood was suspended, Twain put him in the reserve team. On the surface, it was because of Wood's impulse to give him a little punishment.In fact, it is to prevent him from not playing games and causing his state to decline.Usually he trains with the first team, and when he needs to play on weekends, he goes to the reserve team.

Reserve team games are often played a day earlier than first team games.

The day before the game against Chelsea, the team only trained for half a day.Tang En, who was fine in the afternoon, took Tang to the city stadium to watch the reserve team match.

In the first half of the game, Dunn found that Wood was still obediently staying in the midfielder position, doing his own job - defending.

In this game, the forest reserve team's opponent is the Chelsea reserve team.

At the level of the reserve team, the Forest team is not as strong as Chelsea.But because of Wood, there is no threat to Chelsea's reserve team's offense.

But Tang En shook his head watching from the sidelines.

"It shouldn't be like this." He said to Tang who was standing next to him, "If Wood is to continue to do this kind of work, coming to the reserve team will have no effect at all..."

"Are you going to tell McParland?" Tang pointed to the reserve team coach sitting heavily on the coach's bench.

The two of them came here to watch the game and didn't tell the coach of the reserve team, nor did they go straight to the coach's bench to watch the game, but chose the stand with a higher viewing angle.

There are not many people who come to the reserve team game, most of them are very, very hardcore fans.Tang En and Tang were standing in a corner of the stands, unobtrusive.

"Say, going on like this is a waste of Wood's training opportunity."

During the intermission, Tang En and Tang walked out of the stands and came to the locker room, and then he called the reserve team coach McParland out.

"You guys are here, Tony?" McParland didn't expect Twain to come back to watch the game, because Twain didn't greet him in advance.

"Looked at halftime." Tang En nodded. "Ian, in the second half, push George up a bit so that he has more opportunities to participate in the offense. Then tell him that he doesn't need to defend."

Ian McParland was a little surprised: "Don't let him defend?"

Don added alongside: "Tony wants to see what George does offensively."

McParland understood, and he asked again: "Is it the same in the next three games?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I understand. Uh, do you want to go in and say a few words?" The reserve team coach pointed to the locker room.

Tang En smiled and shook his head: "No need. Now you are the master here."

McParland was very happy to hear Dunn say that, and he warmly invited: "Then let's go to the coach's bench to see it later?"

This time Tang shook his head and refused: "The view from the stands is also very good, thank you Ian."

"Go and do your work, Ian." Tang En asked him to go back to the locker room, and he and Tang returned to the stadium stands.

But this time, they were recognized by some fans in the stands, and everyone surrounded them for autographs.Tony Twain is a well-deserved star, there is nothing wrong with Tang here, he sneaked out by himself.

"I really want to know what Coach Tang is thinking now..." Suddenly, a woman's voice appeared behind him.

Without looking back, Tang also knew who the voice was.Speaking Chinese, she is still a woman, and there is no one else besides the reporter Tang Jing.

"Why did Miss Tang come to watch a reserve team match?" Tang turned his head and asked.

Tang Jing stood in front of him and said with a smile, "Because you are here."

"How did you know we'd be here?"

"Because George Wood is here." She pointed to the court below. "Everyone on Earth knows how much Coach Tony Twain cares about his favorite general. The announcement is an impulse to punish George Wood. In fact, he is afraid that he will not play for eight consecutive rounds and his state will decline, right?"

"Now is not the time for an interview, Miss Tang."

"Can't you just chat casually?" Tang Jing spread her hands, "Look, I didn't bring anything. Press card, recording pen, camera, notebook... I bought a ticket to come in." She took out a bag from her pocket. The ball ticket dangled.

Facing this kind of stalker, Tang couldn't scare her off even if he deliberately put on a cold face.So he asked helplessly, "Why are you so curious about Tang En?"

"Coach Tang, I'm wrong, I'm not interested in him."

Don looked up at her.

"I'm right to you." Tang Jing pointed at Tang who was a little surprised, and smiled smugly.

Tang decided to keep silent, this topic is not easy to discuss.

Tang Jing was not intimidated by Tang's silence, she continued: "Although the club held a press conference specially for you to answer the questions that everyone cares about. But why do I still feel that things are not as simple as you said? ? An ordinary Chinese, just because he met an English professional coach by chance on the Internet, he quickly became a member of the team's coaching staff? I'm curious..."

"Curiosity will kill the cat." Tang En's voice suddenly sounded, which really scared Tang Jing's shoulders.

"Are you threatening me, Mr. Tony Twain?" Tang Jing, who had reacted, was a little annoyed by the shock just now, and she frowned and asked back.

Tang En smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, don't get me wrong, Miss Tang. This is not the gangster movie "The Godfather". A woman's intuition is really scary, isn't it Don?" Tang En looked at Tang and said.The fans around him have dispersed, and now there are only three of them here.

Tang couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Tang En's gourd, so he kept silent.

"You are right, Ms. Tang. This person Tang does have a secret, and it is a big secret." Tang En said to Tang Jing mysteriously, "But this matter should not be publicized. Come here, I whispered Tell you."

Although it was strange that there was no one here at all, why did she lean over, but curiosity prompted Tang Jing to obediently tilt her head to Tang En's mouth.

"Head & Shoulders..." Dunn took a deep breath and said.

"You!" Tang Jing became furious when she found out that she had been cheated, and she jumped back.

Tang En, the scoundrel, laughed even more happily: "I said that curiosity will kill the cat. If I'm really a scoundrel, it's not as simple as smelling it. Miss Tang is such a simple woman who is easy to trust people..."

"Mr. Tony Twain, please pay attention to your image!" Tang Jing spoke with integrity.

"Is there any image of me?" Tang En shrugged and spread his hands, "Didn't your media always say that I am a horned head, tail and wings on the back, sharp teeth, vicious words, and a bastard devil with no grace? "

Tang Jing was taken aback when she heard what Tang En said. "That... is just the evaluation of the English media, not me..."

"Isn't your newspaper reprinting foreign reports all day long?"

"I've never done this before! Every word I write is typed by myself!" Tang Jing couldn't bear to question her professional ethics.She is always in an environment where people suspect her. When she joins the newspaper office, she is privately thought to be relying on her father's relationship. When she comes to England for a permanent residence, she is also considered to be relying on her father... In short, she relies on her father for everything. Yes, my hard work and talent are totally invisible to others.

"Mr. Tony Tang En, if you are angry because of my rudeness when we first met, I can apologize to you! But do you still have the demeanor of a man for holding grudges?" Tang Jing angrily accused Tang En , turned around angrily and walked away.

Tang beside him finally spoke: "Hey, Tony...isn't that good? She's also a woman..."

Tang En glanced at him: "You should thank me, I helped you out."

"That's another thing..."

"Yo yo, can't stand it anymore?" Tang En asked back, "I feel pity in my heart? Compassion and pity?"

Tang was not as good as his opponent in terms of lip service, so he chose to remain silent.

"Hey, Don. Shouldn't you be thinking about love too?"

Tang remained silent.

"If you don't talk, I will take it as your default. But it's nothing. As the saying goes, which girl does not cherish spring, which boy does not miss spring...Although you are already past the age of a teenager..."

"I'm leaving too." Tang En made a gesture to leave, but Tang En quickly grabbed him.

"Okay, okay. I won't say anything if I'm not happy. But I really don't hold her grudges, but every time I see her smug face, I really want to give her a few words so that she can't be arrogant in front of me. ...Hey, Tang, do you think I am a very dark person?"

"What's the use of telling me, you tell her..."

Tang En smiled at Tang En.

Tang also noticed that he was losing his composure. He coughed and fell silent.

"Actually, that woman...is quite attractive if she's not arrogant..." Tang En rubbed his chin and smacked his lips.

"The second half of the game has begun." Tang reminded coldly.

Both of them stopped talking about these meaningless topics and focused on the game.

※ ※ ※

George Wood was pushed to the front of the midfield in the second half, basically equivalent to a midfielder.

McParland doesn't let him defend, he's still a little uncomfortable in that position.I don't know what to do and how to do it.

Many times he couldn't help but drop back to participate in the defense, but was quickly yelled at by McParland.

After ten minutes of discomfort, George Wood finally realized that he had nothing else to do except participate in the offense.

So, Tang En was very happy to see Wood trying to pass the ball to his teammates in front of him in the stands.Although the first kick was intercepted by the opponent halfway because the intention of passing the ball was too obvious, it was a good sign.

McParland yelled from the sidelines again to make Wood's pass more concealed.The second time, Wood sent the football to the striker's feet accurately.Direct pass, directly tear through the line of defense!
It's a pity that such a good pass was wasted by his teammates.

From below, Dunn looked as regretful as if Wood had shot the ball away.

"He has the ability to pass the ball forward," Don said from the sidelines.

Tang En nodded: "Have you noticed that too? Last season, his two assists were sudden forward passes in the middle. I think it would be very uncomfortable for him to go to the side. Some people are naturally suitable for the side." Some people have to be placed in a wider space to be free. George is the latter... Demi is right, this kid has offensive talent, but it is hidden too deep, not only us, but also himself I just don’t know.”

In the next game, Wood passed more and more forwards, but due to the dense number of people in the middle and the obvious passing intention, his success rate was not high.

But Tang En didn't care about this. He saw that Wood dared to pass the ball forward. If this kid didn't have such confidence, don't expect him to realize his potential.It's a good thing to have that kind of thinking.

This was what Tang En wanted to see the most.He didn't expect to see Wood commanding the team's game rhythm like Pirlo and Redondo today, and coping with it freely.

Tang En and Tang left before the game ended.After seeing what they want to see, there is still a fierce battle waiting for them tomorrow.

"George!" McParland called to Wood. "Good job!" He gave the captain of the first team a thumbs up.

Wood was not so satisfied with his performance, he frowned: "I don't think it's that good..."

"As long as you are willing to move forward, this is progress, George." Wood is a representative of the team's youth training level, and coaches at all levels care about this talented player.

"Rome wasn't built in a day. Our future midfielders won't be built in a single game." McParland proudly patted Wood on the thick shoulder.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the glorious future of Nottingham Forest is on this shoulder.

Just like AC Milan has Maldini, Real Madrid has Raul Gonzalez, Barcelona has Messi, Liverpool has Steven Gerrard, I hope Nottingham Forest in the future can be proud of George Wood.

You are our flag, George.

Ian McParland did not say this, but he really thought so in his heart.
