Chapter 689 Volume [-] Crimson Stupid and Awesome

When players from both sides stood near the center circle and waited for the second half to start, Tang En changed four players in one go.Four players wearing Nottingham Forest's yellow away jerseys stood on the sidelines, queuing up to enter the pitch.

Kompany replaced the aging Ayala, Akinfeev replaced Van der Sar, Lennon replaced David Beckham and George Wood replaced Sun Jihai.

Beckham's end made the fans very dissatisfied with Twain, booing him constantly.

"They're not booing you, David." When Beckham came down to shake hands with Tang En, Tang En laughed. "It's booing me, complaining that I replaced you too early."

"I understand, boss."

"Well, wipe off the water." He handed over the towel himself.

Wood took the captain's armband from Beckham, tied it on himself, and ran onto the pitch.During the halftime break, he didn't express his opinion on how the first half went, but Tang En knew that this kid must have a lot of energy in his heart.

During the intermission, Twain asked the team to strengthen their long-range shots and still only take the middle lane.The inability to start the game in the first half was not only due to the players' fear of injury and the referee blowing the whistle, it was also related to Tang En's request for the team to attack the middle.But in the second half, he didn't seem to change this point. Apart from the fact that this was a very difficult training opportunity, Twain also didn't think that if he played in the middle with Nottingham Forest's ability, he wouldn't be able to get in.

In fact, even if the main players didn't make trouble during the intermission, Twain still had a way to regain the situation in the second half.So he specially kept the substitute lineup in the second half. These players who usually play less games and are very eager to prove that their players are more powerful than the main players at certain times, let them play in the second half, and then call the Football Association. Tang En was ready from the beginning.

That's right, he didn't want to listen to Allen's words from the beginning, so as to save face for the Chinese Football Association.The face of the Chinese Football Association has nothing to do with him. He didn't directly refuse at that time, but he just didn't want to quarrel with Allen directly.Just because he has a bad temper and a straightforward personality doesn't mean he can't play tricks.

When the players of the Chinese Olympic team and most of the fans were still in the dream of the first half, Van der Vaart's long-range shot hit the goalpost, but it sounded the alarm for them.

In the 5th minute of the second half, less than 1 minute after Van der Vaart hit the goal post with a long shot, Ribery suddenly cut inside after dribbling the ball from the side. Just when the Olympic players thought he was going to take a long shot, he pushed A straight kick.After receiving the football, Eastwood turned around and hit the goal. The football rolled past the Olympic goalkeeper who was unable to react in time and hit the net.

Nottingham Forest pulled the score back.

So far, it is still in line with what Xie Guanlong and Alan know.

But in Allen's heart, a very bad premonition has gradually emerged.

No. In the 11th minute, Li Weifeng, whose defensive action was still rough, pushed down Lennon in front of the penalty area, who was about to break through forcibly. The referee called him a foul and awarded the Forest team a free kick 27 meters away from the goal.

Gareth Bale stepped up to take the penalty, and the football drew a beautiful arc and went straight to the dead corner!
Nottingham Forest completed the overtake in 6 minutes.

After this goal, Twain made another substitution.Goal hero Bale was replaced by Barnes, Van der Vaart was replaced by Petrov, and Ribery moved to the center to play in the midfield.

Subsequently, Petrov, who had just come on the field, used an unreasonable and unreasonable wing attack, broke through the Chinese players defending him with speed, and then sent a cross. Ruud van Nistelrooy overpowered Li Weifeng and pushed the football into the goal. :
In a blink of an eye, the score has changed from 1:2 to 4:2.

The smile on Xie Guanlong's face, who was sitting on the rostrum, had long since disappeared. His current expression was infinitely close to today's weather in Ningbo.

Allen sat next to Evan Dougherty. In the past, Xie Guanlong was alone. He could feel the great emotional change that was happening in the heart of the Football Association chairman at this moment.Because he was also a little annoyed.

Tony Twain put him together!

Generally speaking, this score is maintained until the end, which is acceptable to the hosts. After all, they scored two goals for the European champions and only allowed the opponent to score four goals.But Tang En didn't intend to stop there. He continued to send players who were full of hunger for the game, and asked them to attack the Chinese Olympic team who had already been beaten and lost confidence.

Bendtner replaced Van Nistelrooy and Arshavin replaced Eastwood.Rafinha was replaced by Chimbonda, Wes Morgan replaced by Piqué-now the Olympic team can't threaten Nottingham Forest's defense at all, most of the stumbled offense is on the line of George Wood Just stopped.George Wood defended them with ease.

At the end of the game, Nottingham Forest scored two more goals.Bendtner scored a goal with a poke shot in the penalty area, and then scored twice with a header relying on his strong body.

When the Forest team scored the fifth goal, half of the fans in the audience began to cheer and applaud for every performance of the Forest team players.

Against the backdrop of this situation, Xie Yalong's face turned black, and he pursed his lips tightly, as ugly as that could be.

The players of the Olympic team fought hard at the beginning, but in the end they found that the strength gap between the two sides was too great. They even lost the idea of ​​fighting hard. Their offense was completely out of shape, and their defense seemed to be doing their best.

Seeing this scene, Tang En shook his head from below: "Just like that, the goal set by the Football Association for them is to enter the semi-finals of the men's football competition in the Olympics..."

"Are they crazy?" Don asked.

"It's not crazy, this is their normal attitude. If one day you hear the Football Association say that we should keep our feet on the ground and do something for Chinese football, you can call the mental hospital and ask them to send a car to the Football Association to pull people."

Tang was amused by Tang En's words.

But Tang En glanced at him: "Is it ridiculous? Shouldn't you feel sad and angry when you encounter this kind of thing? But the Chinese fans don't even have the strength to be angry and scold mothers. Express emotions in a sarcastic way. You see..." He pointed to the stands, "Now almost everyone is booing the Olympic team, this is how they express their emotions. It's not that they are forced to see it at all It's hopeful, who wants to vent in such an extreme way? Booing the team with the national flag on its chest...It's so sad, so pathetic." He murmured.

Tang stopped laughing and fell silent.His understanding and affection for Chinese football are far behind that of the "British man" beside him, but he can imagine Tang En's attitude towards Chinese football in the past. Maybe he cried, laughed, scolded, looked forward to and hoped for it, but now, he is Here, he tells about other people's affairs in a cold tone.

How sad, how pitiful?
What a pity!

This commercial match ended with Nottingham Forest's 6:2 rout of the Chinese Olympic team.After the game, all the players of the Forest team held hands and went to the front of the stage to thank the fans. This was their tradition, and it was something Tang En asked them to do.

Originally these people thought that after slaughtering their home country's team so shamelessly, those who booed them in the first half must be booing even more now.But what surprised and moved them was that Chinese fans stood in the stands and applauded the Nottingham Forest players who played seriously and went all out in the game.

"Actually, they know football very well..." Sun Jihai muttered as he thanked the fans with his teammates.

The people on the other side felt uncomfortable. Xie Guanlong had to stand on the rostrum and applaud out of courtesy.Fans who couldn't wait rushed to make a new slogan and lifted it to the stands under the rostrum to show it to the officials on the rostrum.

"Xie Guanlong is an idiot! The Football Association is an idiot!"

Just such a sentence expressed the hearts of all the fans present.

※ ※ ※

The post-match press conference was lively.Because since China has a commercial football game, Nottingham Forest is the first team that dares to beat the host. .

According to the traditional thinking of the Chinese, when a guest comes to the host, he must take care of the host’s face. It’s just a matter of winning. If you win less, everyone’s face looks good...

But Tony Twain and his Nottingham Forest didn't recognize this.

Tang En's first sentence surprised all the Chinese reporters present: "I'm not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. We deserve to score a few more goals. But the current score makes me feel good about it." Satisfied, we showed the strength of the European champions in the second half."

Tang En knew that some Chinese media would feel uncomfortable, but he had his own way of blocking their mouths.

"Before the game, some media worried that the Forest team who came to play commercial games would not work hard, which would greatly reduce the excitement of the game. But now I think everyone can let go of this worry. We are a professional team and we abide by professional ethics. I am very happy to dedicate such a wonderful game to the Chinese fans!" He smiled and opened his arms very proudly. "After the game, the Chinese fans stood up and applauded my team. I was deeply moved, and it also shows that we have won the recognition and recognition of the fans with our practical actions! Chinese fans..." He gave a thumbs up and spoke authentically In Mandarin, "Awesome!"

This passage and this performance left the media who were ready to attack completely speechless.

Only Tang Jing was snickering below, this was Tony Twain.You don't know whether you should like him, or hate him and hate him... But no matter whether you like him or hate him, he is so real in front of you, and if you have a bad heart, you might really make him mad .

I used to fight against him when I was young, but now I can't get angry at anything except laughing.Because he is not targeting you at all... Maybe he is targeting the whole world?
Mr. Puppet Dujkovic has nothing to say. This game has nothing to do with him, but he has to stand up after the game and accept everyone's scolding.The salary given by the Chinese Football Association is really hard to get..."They played very well, we tried our best. But the gap in strength is too big, we can't do anything..." He rubbed his temples and answered the reporter's question weakly, as if muttering mumbling to himself.

Tang En glanced at him, but he didn't feel how pitiful this old man was.

If it was him, how could he endure such humiliation?He scolded the Football Association a long time ago, then got up and left.Whoever you like to play with, I will not accompany you!

※ ※ ※

After finishing their last assignment in China, the players got a night's rest and were free to go outside until 11:30.

And Tony Twain was once again invited to his room by Allen.Some things, they have to make it clear.

Unlike last time, this time the club chairman, Evan Dalgety, was also sitting in the room.

"The atmosphere is not right." He didn't rush in, but grabbed the door frame, poked his head in and looked at the two people and asked tentatively.

"Tony, Tony. What do you want me to say about you?" Allen shook his head and sighed.For this head coach, sometimes he really loses his temper.When he was on the field, he was so angry that he wanted to find Tang En right away and ask him what the hell he was doing.But seeing him like this now, he didn't know where he was going to roar.

Tang En laughed quickly: "No, I know what you are looking for me for. Actually, Alan, don't blame me for lying to you. If I refused at the beginning, then your itinerary and various activities you have arranged for these few days will be affected. Just think about it calmly, isn't it?"

Allen didn't need to think about it calmly to know that it was of course the case. The two most important departments in the team clashed face to face, and it would be impossible to have no impact.If everyone is vindictive, many planned activities may have to be cancelled.

In order to come to China, he has studied the fact that many European teams have come to China to seek gold in recent years.For example, in the summer of 2005, when Real Madrid visited China for the second time, it was originally arranged for all players to go to China's national TV station to record a program with Real Madrid fans selected from all over the country.But because of the direct conflict between Real Madrid's commercial department and athletic department.The sports department firmly disagreed with the team's fatigue to participate in any TV program recording, and forcibly canceled the trip.The end result is that Real Madrid missed the recording site, which left a very bad image in the minds of Chinese fans.

Real Madrid's status in football is deep-rooted and they are rich and powerful. They can ignore this small impact.But Nottingham Forest, which is new to the Chinese market, cannot be careless.

"I'm not a person who acts impulsively. I've thought about it. So I promised you at the time because I didn't want to affect your other plans. But I really can't agree to this matter. It violated my bottom line. I don't know what you think, Allen. But something like this is like selling out the team to someone like me who cares about honor. I can't do it, and my players don't agree. You're not in the locker room at halftime, Everyone thought we played poorly in the first half, and they didn't want to end the game like this..." He shrugged and fell silent.

Allen stood there not knowing what to say.

Seeing that he was silent, Tang En continued: "Alan, you know this team well. The whole world probably knows what kind of team Nottingham Forest is. I don't blame you at all for intentionally arguing with you. It means being right. But the request of the Chinese Football Association is too much, and I can't accept it. It's their fault, none of us did anything wrong. If they don't follow the rules of football, then they have to pay the price and ask for trouble I know more about the Chinese Football Association than you do. They have become a habit of manipulating games and leagues in China, and now they think they can still manipulate us?"

"But, Tony. We are going to open a football school in China, which absolutely cannot bypass the Chinese Football Association. Now you..." Allen finally had the ability to think, and he still spoke very harshly.

Tang En smiled, and laughed happily. "Are you worried that I'll piss off the FA? No, no. Alan. You don't know enough about the institution. The only person I've pissed off is the chairman, don't worry. His term is coming up, at the end of the year... ...I don't know what will happen if another term comes in, it's too early to say anything." He blinked. "The chairmen of the Chinese Football Association are all transferred from other organizations and have earned enough political achievements for a few years before being promoted. They don't care how Chinese football is doing."

Evan was amazed at the side, this kind of thing was really new to him.

Hearing what Tang En said, Alan softened his tone. "It's incredible."

"Ha, if you learn more about this institution, you will find more incredible things. Some things will make you feel that they shouldn't have happened on Earth at all."

But Allen quickly discovered a new question: "Wait. If they change their leader, will all my previous efforts be in vain?"

"The cooperation negotiated with the organization should not be affected in general. If the relationship is not too rigid, we won't get stuck in other small places." Tang En said after thinking for a while.

Evan, who had been watching quietly, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, Alan, the matter has been resolved satisfactorily. I just said that Tony must have his consideration. To be honest, I think the suggestion made by the Chinese Football Association is stupid. Fortunately, Tony did not." Follow up."

Allen feigned anger: "So it's just my problem that has been going on for a long time?"

"Ahem..." Evan hurriedly coughed to cover up, "This trip to China is perfect, Alan. Some people were worried that China's commercial football field was already cold, but we made it very hot this time. I heard Said that Chelsea is already considering an official visit to China... These are the best affirmations for you."

Tang En also chimed in: "That's right. Your ability in this area is the best I've ever seen."

"You only deal with the head coaches, Tony." Allen stopped being angry, and he said to Dunn: "No matter what, what you did today made me very 'mianzi', yes, 'mianzi'."

After staying in China for a while, he can understand what "face" really is.

Tang En pretended not to understand: "What is that? Noodles?"

"Don't play dumb, Tony."

"Okay, okay, in order to make up for your 'face', I decided to treat you to noodles." Dunn raised his hand in surrender.

"Spaghetti? I'm going to throw up on that..."

"No, Japanese ramen!"

The second stop of the Nottingham Forest East Asia Gold Rush Plan - Tokyo, Japan.
