Chapter 707 Volume [-] Crimson Remnant Soldier
In the end, Dunn didn't approach Lisa Ariel to ask them to withdraw the report, and then publicly apologized.It's not that he forgot, but now he doesn't know what he should be.Regardless of whether he agrees or not, Shania can indeed be counted as his rumored girlfriend, because she confessed to herself.Then this article is not a fabrication.

In addition, he didn't want to go to that tabloid again, because he didn't want to give the media an opportunity to spread this matter to everyone.He is still not sure about his inner feelings, and he doesn't want to cause trouble - he is not afraid of troubles in football, and he hopes to have as few troubles as possible when it comes to feelings and women, and nothing is the best.

The actual situation was similar to Tang En's hope. The influence of the newspaper that Lisa Ariel worked for was really limited.In addition, there have been several news about Tang En's rumored girlfriend in the past few years. At the beginning, when Chris Glonia appeared, everyone was excited, but when it came to the Turkish beauty, no one responded at all.The above two "Gossip Girls" still have photos as proof.As for the scandal between Tony Twain and Shania, this newspaper couldn't even show a single photo, so what "shock" is there to talk about?Could it be that just because they knew that the two of them were friends, they made up these shocking news at will?He is also "willing to use his personality to guarantee the authenticity". These days, who doesn't know that the personality of these entertainment gossip reporters is for sale.Few people believed that Shania was Tang En's secret girlfriend.

At this time, it might be more sensational if Tang En's secret boyfriend is not China Tang, but David Chrislake or David Beckham...

※ ※ ※

Since that incident, except for writing an email, Tang En has never contacted Shania again.Now he really doesn't know how to face the little fairy, he feels a little embarrassed, so he simply doesn't think about it.

Thankfully he still has work to distract him.

The grouping situation and schedule of the new season's Champions League group stage have all been lined up.As a team that successfully defended the Champions League, Nottingham Forest has received unprecedented attention, and the Forest team, which is listed as a seeded team, has also been favored by experts.There was even a voice like this: "No matter which group Nottingham Forest is assigned to, and no matter who the other three teams are in that group, Tony Twain's team will definitely qualify. Nine is first in the group. The only option for the other three teams is to fight for second in the group."

The final result was that Nottingham Forest was assigned to the last group.

In addition to the seeded team Nottingham Forest in Group H, there is also Juventus, a veteran team that only returned to Serie A last season and broke into the Champions League this season.Ukrainian traditional powerhouse Dynamo Kyiv and Belarusian team Borisov.

Only Dynamo Kyiv still has the ability to spoil the game, and Borisov has been identified as the belly of the other three teams to earn goal difference.If nothing else, the two leading teams in this group should be Nottingham Forest and Juventus.

The national team's game has temporarily come to an end, and the players have returned to the team one after another.George Wood has had his happiest two weeks with the national team since he was part of the England squad.In the two games on the 4th and 1th, he started all the games, repaying Capello's trust in him with practical actions.England beat Andorra by two goals in the away game, and swept the enemy Croatia [-]:[-] in the away game, avenging their elimination from the European Championship finals. George Wood's defense in the midfield played a vital role.

Capello, who seldom praised a single player, told the media after the game against Croatia: "With Wood, our offensive efficiency is even higher."

Why is it higher?Because there is no need to always worry about the need to quickly return to the defense after losing the ball.

George Wood used his tireless running and ferocious defense to block every attack from Croatia.In the middle of the midfield, Croatia can't penetrate at all, so they can only find ways to go sideways.Croatia's new midfield star, Modlic, who played for Tottenham Hotspur, was successfully frozen by Wood and was replaced after only 65 minutes.

Tang En was very happy with Wood's performance, and he greatly complimented Capello in his column.It is said that Capello is a gold medal coach with real talents. Under his leadership, England will definitely go further...

Of course, he didn't forget to praise Wood's performance, after all, his proud disciple didn't embarrass him. "...I have said a long time ago that George is the best midfielder in England. It is a pity that he was always not reused for one reason or another. Now I am very happy that he has met a head coach who really understands his talent. I It can even be said that the England team will usher in the 'George Wood era' soon!"

Tang En was not at all afraid that boasting George Wood to the sky would "kill" him.Because he knew very well that George Wood was not the kind of person who would be smug because of honor. His life experience made him calmer than most people and could withstand waves of honor and disgrace.

George Wood's outstanding performance was one of the few good news Twain received on the national team match day, other than that was the injury report.

Franck Ribery was injured in the No. 2 minute of the French team's 1:707 victory over Serbia and needed a week of recuperation.

Martin Petrov was injured in Bulgaria's 2-2 draw with Montenegro and required a [-]-day truce.

After Eastwood played against Russia on behalf of Wales, he was physically exhausted. The physical coach advised him not to participate in the league three days later.

In addition, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is still on the injury list, and Van der Vaart, who has just returned from injury, cannot be guaranteed, nor can he be injured soon.There are very few people Tang En can use now.

Even though it was at home and the opponent was Sunderland, Twain didn't feel relaxed.

The aftereffects of the summer spent in the air appeared frequently, and he would be a ghost if he could still feel relaxed.

※ ※ ※

"Because we have the Champions League in the middle of next week, use rotation...Eastwood does not recommend him, Bale should also be rotated, Beckham needs to rest, Fleming advises not to let Van der Vaart play against the team. Sunderland because he was worried that rough Sunderland would injure Raphael again..." Chris Lacker was reading from the report.

Tang En interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Just tell me who are allowed to play, right? There is no one on the left side, and there are only two defensive midfielders in the middle. The striker can't even find a substitute."

A group of people are silent, this situation is indeed too difficult.

In the end, Dunn's lineup was Akinfeev replacing Van der Sar as the main goalkeeper, with Leighton Barnes starting at the left back, Woodgate and Ayala at the center back, and Rafinha at the right back.

The central midfielders are Thiago and George Wood-this time there is a clear division of labor, Thiago is in charge of defense, and George Wood focuses on offense, which is tantamount to pushing George Wood down to the position of organizing offense.

The winger has Chris Commons on the left and Lennon on the right.

The striker had no choice, and Twain asked Zigic to partner with Arshavin.

After this arrangement, Tang En found that the seven people on the bench could not be arranged according to the position needs at all, and could only be arranged individually.

Van der Sar, Zimbunda, Kompany, Van der Vaart, Sun Jihai, Bale, Beckham.

The rest of the players were either injured, or their physical strength was not guaranteed, so they were unable to play.

Keane is obviously aware of the current predicament of Nottingham Forest. Although he and Tang En have a good personal relationship, now is not the time to talk about friendship.To deal with such a semi-disabled Nottingham Forest, Sunderland played [-] points, took out all the main lineup, and strived to spell out a result that Keane wanted in the away game.

Affected by the national team's competition, the Nottingham Forest players were in a sluggish state and lacked physical fitness.In the Sunderland team, from the backcourt to the frontcourt, they did not relax their active fighting, and they were completely at a disadvantage.Fleming's concerns were really justified. Sunderland's players moved a lot, almost rough, as long as they could grab the ball, they didn't care about the overwhelming boos from the stands.Fortunately, Van der Vaart did not take the risk of playing, otherwise no one can say that he will have to rest for a few months after this game.

Nottingham Forest scored at the start of the second half, but Sunderland snatched a chance up front with their tenacious pressing and equalized five minutes later.This ball hit the morale of the Forest team. Facing the fierce Sunderland, the fear of injury also made the players timid. They couldn't even perform at half of their usual level.

In the end, Nottingham Forest was tied 1:1 by Sunderland at their home court.The league ranking has slipped to fifth place, ranking with Aston Villa and Hull City, which they once beat by five goals.

Zigic's debut performance was definitely not a success.As the tallest player on the field, he still doesn't quite adapt to Forest's tactics.What's more, without van der Vaart and Ribery, the midfielder can give him very little support. He is not the kind of man who can rush forward after getting the ball by himself, pass five levels and kill six generals. Just the striker who takes out the entire defense and shoots the football into the empty goal.Despite his mediocre performance, Twain still kept him on the court and let him play the full 10 minutes of the game. On the one hand, it was because there was really no one to replace, and on the other hand, it was because he wanted Zikic Adapt to the team's tactics as soon as possible.After all, Dunn didn't buy him to sit on the bench to learn and observe, but to make him a part of the rotation right away.

After the game, everyone in the locker room was busy showering and changing clothes to leave the court.Being drawn by a team like Sunderland at home makes everyone unhappy, but there is no way, this is football, no one can guarantee victory in every game.What's more, the current team has more injuries, and everyone knows it.So Dunn didn't criticize the team's performance, he just hoped that the team would show a different look in the Champions League group stage next week.

On the second day of the match, Dunn informed Zikic through an interpreter that he wanted to talk to him alone.

The Serbs thought that Twain was going to criticize his performance yesterday. After the meeting, Twain's first words were: "Have you realized the difference between the Spanish league and the English league?"

Zikic nodded.Yesterday's game was indeed completely different from the La Liga he was used to.

"Can you tell me what's different?" Tang En asked.

"Speed ​​rhythm." Zikic blurted out.The offensive and defensive transition between the two sides of the game yesterday was very fast, and mistakes greatly accelerated this speed.Sometimes Zikic is just about to return to defense, and Nottingham Forest has successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and it is time to launch another counterattack.In such constant back and forth runs, Zikic consumed a lot of physical energy, which is also one of the reasons for his poor performance.

Tang En nodded approvingly. "Yes, although there are other differences, speed and rhythm determine everything. The speed and rhythm of the Premier League are faster than other leagues, so the physical requirements are relatively high, and you must be smart enough. You wasted a lot of energy yesterday... ...Did Coach Tang tell you? What does our center need to do?"

"Open the space, draw the attention of the opponent's defense, set the ball for teammates, and score goals."

"I think you were... well, how to put it, a little too humble yesterday. You are a center forward and you should put 'goal goals' at the top. If there is a chance to score, it will be given to someone else. Under what circumstances do you want to choose to pass the ball? When you are blocked by the opponent's defender and cannot turn around, when the position is not good, and when your teammates are more likely to score... At this time, passing the ball is the best choice. You Yesterday I was more passing the ball to my team-mates than shooting myself. Is it to win everyone's goodwill?"

Zikic was a little embarrassed by Tang En's words, and he nodded to acknowledge his original intention.

Tang En laughed. "It's useless. You're a center forward I hired you, not a winger. I do value your ability to play the ball, but you're a center forward. If you want them to accept you, like you, and recognize you, it's a matter of fact. It's simple - score goals and keep scoring goals. Then everyone likes you."

Dunn intends to focus on nurturing and supporting Zikic. If he doesn't adapt to the Premier League, try to make him adapt. If he can't score, try to give him a chance to score.He wants to re-establish a high center forward, and he wants to let those who are waiting to see his jokes know that leaving Bendtner has no loss for him, because he has Zikic!
Bendtner can pursue the football he wants and enjoy the superiority of being the main core of Manchester City.But his Tony Twain's team will continue to win and continue to win the championship.
