Chapter 741 Volume Six The Crimson Future Belongs to Young People

Carl Spike slammed Dunn's new team formation policy in his column, thinking that it was a fantasy for Dunn to rely on a group of children to conquer the world.

His point of view was endorsed by most of the media, so all kinds of critical voices came out one after another.

Some of the criticism was directed at him, some at the club and some directly at the players.

"I don't believe that Tony Twain can achieve any good results this season."

"The club spent money on these youngsters and the facts will prove their investment wrong very quickly."

"Nichlas Milan? Sorry, I've never heard of this name..."

"Tony Twain's whimsy, thinking that if these young people with potential are gathered together, they will become very capable? The fact is completely opposite. He wants to copy Manchester United's class of 92? In my eyes, this is simply a joke !"

……

Even the "Nottingham Evening Post" reporter Pierce Bruce, who has always supported Tang En, wrote an article expressing concern about Tang En's large-scale buying of young people.

He thinks it is really worrying to put the treasure on these seventeen-year-old children.He wasn't worried about Tang En's vision, but training young people had to go through a process.Maybe after a few seasons, they can see a group of talented teenagers mature, but the results of the Forest team in the past two seasons are all due to these people?

His words were as tactful as possible, his tone as tactful as possible.

But he still angered the king here.

He received a call from Tang En, and curses flooded towards him like a tide:
"What the hell are you writing about? Mr. Reporter! Are you tearing down my station? Fortunately, I didn't plan to publish my column in your newspaper, otherwise I would be the biggest fucking joke! I scold those media The article appeared in the same issue of the newspaper as the one you questioned me about... huh?"

"But...but, Mr. Tang En. I am indeed worried by a Forest team fan..."

"Forest fans? Have you done interviews on the street? Are those fans worried? Can you represent them?"

"As far as I know...it's like this, Mr. Tang En. They are all worried about the too young lineup..."

"They have reason to worry! But you are not qualified to publish it! Do you know what I do every day besides training? I am instilling the football spirit of our Nottingham Forest in these young people! I am telling them what the media said. It's bullshit, they are much stronger than those reporters think! I keep instilling confidence in them... Are you fucking tearing me down from behind? You have to understand your position, Mr. Reporter! You are the local media in Nottingham, and you represent It’s the voice of Nottingham! You can’t block me like this! If we’re all fighting among ourselves, why don’t we let those people outside see the joke?”

"But what I said is the truth..."

"See the fucking facts! I just need to know this fact in my heart! You have to give them confidence, confidence, confidence! I allow you to get exclusive information about the club, not to make you and me confront each other! Are you Nottingham? Forest fans? Do you want Nottingham Forest to become better? Mr. Reporter!"

"Of course I, of course I hope..."

"Then just tell me that this group of young people is the best in the world! The best! Even if you blow them up to the sky, don't worry about them getting carried away. That's my job! Mr. Reporter."

Bruce felt aggrieved, but he couldn't continue arguing with Tang En on the phone.Thinking of Tang En's heart attack, he worried that he would stimulate Tang En to the hospital again.

"Alright...I accept your suggestion, Mr. Dunn."

Tang En's tone softened slightly: "Remember, Mr. Reporter. You represent Nottingham, the voice of Nottingham Forest. No matter what happens, you must stand by our side. I need information from you The voice of support. The outside media are questioning my team. At this time, you have to stand up and support us. What is the home atmosphere? Don’t think that the home atmosphere can only be found in the stands of the city stadium. What young people need is not The media questioned it, but praised it! Don’t worry about other things, if you care about it, it will be a disservice to me.”

Two days ago, an article was published in the "Nottingham Evening Post", which was Pierce Bruce's exclusive interview with those young players in the Forest team.The strong fighting spirit and confidence of these children were highlighted in the interview.A united and hopeful young group was presented to the public.

This is of course an act instructed by Tang En.He didn't care about the "journalist's position" that Pierce Bruce was muttering in his heart. He only knew what was good for him and what was not good for him.

Dunn was completely understandable for being so angry at Bruce's previous article.

Other media scolded his players outside, but Twain was actually just pretending to be angry, but actually secretly pleased - he could use this opportunity to integrate the young people, inspire their fighting spirit, and help them build up their confidence.Because these young people are exactly at the age of rebellion.Just tell them "Oh, the outside world is not optimistic about you, guys" and direct their emotions to the opposite side of the media, and then tell them that I, Tony Twain, stand with you, and I will always believe in you ,You guys are the best!

Then, the group of young people will scream and want to prove their abilities impatiently.

Next is Tang En's training ability.Whether in the face of defeat or victory, he is not worried that these young people will escape his control.

But Bruce jumped out to show that he was more awake than others, standing tall and looking far away.For a long time, "Nottingham Evening Post" has appeared in front of the public as Tony Twain's official spokesperson.People outside Nottingham will accuse the paper of being completely unprincipled in its treatment of Forest.But the fans of Nottingham Forest don't think so, they just like to read articles in the newspapers that praise the Forest team.The Nottingham Forest players themselves will follow the Evening Post report.No one likes to hear bad things.

It is really uncomfortable for the media, which has always supported me, to say something questionable.

※ ※ ※

Before the new season, Nottingham Forest did not go to Asia to seek gold, nor did they go on any trip to North America.They're not even out of the UK.Just train locally, and then warm up with several teams in the UK.This summer has arranged more warm-up games than in previous years. Twain hopes to integrate the team through more games, so that the new youngsters can adapt to the team's style of play faster.

By the way, watch some of the players who can actually enter the team's plan.After all, you can't tell by training alone, and you have to rely on actual combat to test the strength of players.

In the few warm-up matches that have been played, Twain felt that the performance of Adriano Mok, who has been highly recommended by Greenwood, disappointed him.

His easy-to-injury physique puts him at a disadvantage in physical confrontation with opponents. What if he is good at dribbling and dribbling but can't physically confront opponents?There is no football game in this world without physical contact.If he is not good at physical confrontation, no matter how good his skills are, Twain will not want such a player.

It was the inconspicuous Chris Cohen who had been in the reserve team for several years before that made Tang En's eyes shine.His performance on the left is remarkable.His speed and technique are not as outstanding as Mok, but he is more comprehensive than Mok. Another important point is that he is different from Mok who always likes to fight alone, he prefers teamwork.Perhaps this has something to do with his slow speed and explosive power, and his personal breakthrough cannot easily open the situation.In the warm-up match, he also made several threatening passes, and he was also quite threatening in the crossing from the wing.

Twain decided to focus on training this Cohen in the new season.

As for Mork... rent it out, or sell it directly.

The performance of Bostock and Milan met Dunn's expectations, and they played in the youth team.Milan even had a record of representing the first team at the age of 14, so playing first team games is not unfamiliar to them.

Shaheen's performance is also remarkable.At least he demonstrated his superior ability in the warm-up match.His skills are outstanding for England players, and Twain's return to the team seems to have strengthened his confidence.

Left-back Joe Mattock was average, with occasional moments of brilliance, but mostly he didn't show a side that could outshine Leighton Barnes and Gareth Bale.Tang En thinks that for him who has been playing in England's third tier league, playing in the Premier League is still a little bit reluctant.Mattok may have talent, but it will take time to hone in on it.

Victor Moses performed well, his body and speed gave him an advantage in the game.Relying on speed to forcibly break through and leaning on the defender in front of the goal to shoot, both have done quite well and can enter the rotation.

At that time, if there are no accidents, Nottingham Forest's striker list for the new season includes Zikic, Eastwood, Abanglahor, Niklas Milan and Victor Moses.The first three are the players Tang En mainly relies on, and the latter two will be in the reserve team and the first team, accumulating experience and making progress through competitions.What position they can eventually occupy in the Forest first team depends on their own performance.

Abang Lahuo, who spent the most money on Twain this summer, did not disappoint him. The speed and impact of this kid's striker is indeed a very sharp dagger.He started all four warm-up matches and played a full game.A total of six goals were scored.In addition, Tang En also tried to let him play as a winger, but he also handed in a satisfactory answer in this position.Whether it's a breakthrough, a cross, or a shot, it's great.

The best thing is that Abang Lahor has publicly stated more than once that he believes in Tony Twain's ability. He said that he will not regret switching from Aston Villa to Nottingham Forest. He believes that sooner or later he will Climb to the top with Tang En.

Such a statement made Dunn overjoyed.The people who stay when the team has problems are worthy of his attention, and the players who deliberately switch when the team is difficult need his attention even more.

In Wilford, this summer seems to belong to young people's summer.

Just when Twain was leading the first team to prepare for the new season.North Wilford also welcomed a new batch of U18 players.

Every summer, such a group of players selected from all over the country will be sent to North Wilford, where they will receive the most formal training, with the goal of becoming a professional player or a Nottingham Forest first-team player .Among them, there are mediocre and talented, but the difference in talent will not have any impact on their future except for the coaches to take a closer look.To determine whether a player can really succeed, to a large extent, it does not depend on talent, but on hard work and training.

Every year, the director of youth training will give the head coach of the first team an updated youth player list, which marks a few talented players who need to focus on.But how many of these players ended up in the first team?It is pitifully small.Few of the young people trained by Nottingham Forest were able to play for Nottingham Forest in the end.Twain has transferred four young players to the first team this season, and it has become a big event that everyone discusses all day long in North Wilford.

These young people who were training in North Wilford saw hope.

Greenwood saw this group of newcomers on the training ground. Some of them grew up locally in Nottingham and stood out after layers of training with teams of different age groups. Some were scouts poached from other places. Good guy, they agreed to join Forest's youth team and train in Nottingham.

The representative of the former and the goal of his efforts is George Wood.The target of the latter is Gareth Bell.

Most of the players from the previous youth team had left here, some joined the reserve team, and some were lucky enough to join the forest first team.The rest... were either sold to teams in other leagues, or terminated with the club to find their own way out.

"First of all, welcome to North Wilford." Greenwood led the coaches of the youth team to stand in front of these children.

"Secondly, your goal is not to stay here forever. Your goal is to the south..." He pointed south, "It's the training base of Nottingham's first team. The glorious team that won the European Cup four times is there Waiting for you! But, I hope you understand that the gate there is not as easy to enter as here. Every year we eliminate a lot of people, even if they enter the reserve team, it does not mean that they have entered the first team. Give your best to impress me and the first team manager, don't think about it!"

"I've read your bios, I know all of your profiles. I'm sure you're the best in your class. But you've got to prove it to me! You're not here as a hobby, yes No? I don't want to tell you the story of George Wood's success here, it's been told so badly by the media. I just want you to understand the hard work behind his success! Starting today, you will have the privilege of experiencing this for yourself Hard work! It won't make you happy, but I promise that when you succeed, you will find that everything you have experienced here is not meaningless!" Greenwood waved his arms vigorously.

Chen Jian stood among the newcomers.Although he had already started training in the previous youth team, he was still incorporated into the new youth team.Starting today, he is an official member of this youth team. He is from China, and he is no longer the "visitor" who was pushed by a commercial draft and can only participate in training, but has no right to represent the team in games.All his hard work has a clear purpose, and his performance in the game will not become a waste of nothing that will change the result.

He's going to be a pro!

No matter how much sweat and hardship you pay, no matter how tortuous the road under your feet is.None of this goal will change.Gamble everything, do everything, and become a professional player.

He is a pawn who has crossed the river and has no way out.You can't even look back, you can only go forward... In addition to going forward, you still go forward.

Go to the end...General!

Twain received the new roster for the youth team from Greenwood.Among the thirty people, several names were underlined in red pen.

That means that Greenwood is optimistic about young people who may have the potential to succeed and need to focus on their growth.

Lee_Alexander from Nottingham, Darren_Williams from Bishacliffe, Andrew_McLeod from Glasgow, Scotland...and Chen Jian from China thousands of miles away (Chen_Jian).
