champion godfather

Chapter 775
Ibisevic has fully integrated into the team. He had no problem with the language, and now once he scores a goal, his confidence is restored.He often joked with his teammates in training and in the locker room, or told everyone about his "displaced" life...the popularity is very good.

In fact, this was one of the reasons Tang En bought him - Ibisevic was definitely not the kind of player who would spoil the atmosphere in the locker room, on the contrary, he played a very important role in the cohesion of the team.When he was in Hoffenheim, although he was not yet the main force, he helped the other two direct competitors Obasi and Demba Ba to integrate into life in Germany. His selfless character of helping others Even though he only scored five goals in 35 appearances in Hoffenheim's first season, he was not abandoned by the team.

Now his advantage has been carried forward in Nottingham Forest, which has a better atmosphere in the team.

Twain also hoped that the team would have as many pistachios as possible.

Now that Ibisevic's problem has been solved, Dunn now needs to consider how to solve Mathias Fernandez's problem...

This is much more troublesome than Ibisevic's problem.

First of all, Fernandez's English level has improved slowly, and he is more like an invisible man who is taciturn in the team's locker room.In fact, he is not the kind of introverted person, but because he can't understand or speak English, he simply chooses to shut up and never participates in the conversations of his teammates.This makes him give people the impression of being "very out of gregarious" and "difficult to get along with".

The teammates also alienated him intentionally or unintentionally.

This further led to his lack of support from the team on the court.

Tang En felt that if he did not solve this problem, Fernandez might have to seriously consider whether it was appropriate for him to transfer to the UK.Maybe he thought about it carefully and found that Britain had neither Spanish food nor the blue sky, white clouds and sunshine of Spain, so he decided that he must have chosen to transfer to Nottingham Forest on impulse.At that time, my mind is probably full of how to escape from this rainy country...

That's not okay, he didn't buy someone to send him away again.

However, due to the language barrier, a simple conversation needs to be completed with the help of a translator, and the effect may not be as good as Ibisevic.The more important reason is that you can't rely on talking every time to solve the problem.After all, not everything can be solved by talking alone.

So I have to think of another way...

※ ※ ※

After extra shooting practice with Tang En's company, George Wood quickly walked towards the locker room. He was covered in sweat, and he just wanted to take a shower, change his clothes, and go home to be with his mother.

When he walked to the door of the locker room, he found that the team's head coach Tony Twain was standing there, waving to himself with a smile on his face: "Hi, George! Nice to meet you!"

"You can see me every day." As soon as Wood saw Tang En smiling so brightly, he reflexively felt that it was not a good thing, so he first became wary.

"Haha!" Tang En rubbed his nose and laughed dryly. "Then what... when is your birthday?"

"April [-]st. Don't you know?"

"Uh..." Of course Tang En knew, how could he not remember the birthday of his most proud disciple?What's more, this day is really easy to remember - April Fool's Day!But he asked this because he wanted something else... "Can I ask you to have another birthday in two days?"

Wood's eyes widened, and he heard something very strange: "My birthday this year has passed. My mother gave me..."

Tang En nodded again and again: "I know, I know. In fact, I just want you to be the convener and call my teammates to your house to hold a small dinner..." He rubbed his hands and smiled even brighter. "You can drink and eat meat, but you are not allowed to find prostitutes. You can bring your girlfriend and wife... I will allow you to play until 12:30 at the latest. I will allow you to arrive an hour late for the next day's training. What do you think? Sample?"

Wood no longer looked at Tang En with the eyes of a normal person, he had to look at the boss with the eyes of an alien.

"Don't look at me like that..." Tang En waved his hands and shook his head, "Okay, I'm telling the truth. Don't you think that Matthias's situation is not right?"

"Chileans?" Wood thought about it seriously, then shook his head.He didn't see anything wrong with Fernandez.

"That's because you don't know what he was like before." Tang En explained, "In fact, he wasn't always so gloomy. He can also become very gregarious and cheerful, but we have to create such conditions for him I think it is a good way to get everyone together to have fun. You are the captain, and the job of the captain is not just to lead the teammates to the game, George."

Wood thought about it for a while, then frowned and said, "But my birthday is indeed over, and they all know that it can't be hidden from anyone."

What he said was true.It is enough for a few people to know the truth about the banquet.There is no need to make Mathias Fernandez's problem known to everyone in order to explain to them why the captain's birthday is not celebrated on April [-]st, but on September [-]th.

He couldn't let Mathias know what he had done, he didn't want to put any more pressure on the Chilean.He hoped that Fernandez thought it was just a simple banquet, and then through this banquet, he took the first step to have a drink with his strange teammates, and everyone accepted him very warmly, and then he found that This team is so lovely and awesome, so bad weather and food in the UK doesn't matter at all!He likes Nottingham Forest, he loves every plant and tree here, and he decides to swear allegiance to the death...

But celebrating George Wood's birthday doesn't work anymore.So what excuses do you have?

The two of them stood at the door of the locker room like this, deep in thought.

"What are you doing?" I didn't see Tang En in Tang En's office. I went to the parking lot to find his car was still there. Tang found the locker room all the way, but found that the person he was looking for and George Wood were standing in the locker room. In a daze outside.

"Ah, it's like this..." Seeing his partner coming, Tang En told Tang everything in detail.

Tang felt very strange: "What is there to worry about? Didn't George just renew his contract with the club?"

When he said this, Dunn already understood. "Ha, that's a great idea!" He clapped his hands and laughed, "George, let's call everyone in this name and have a lively party!"

Wood has no objection either, although he thinks it's not low-key enough to have a big party just because he renewed his contract, but it's still more normal than postponing his 22th birthday on September 24, or celebrating his 25th birthday earlier many.

※ ※ ※

September 22 was the day chosen by Tang En. This day was in the middle of the week. There was neither the Champions League group stage nor the league to deal with. It was a good time to relax and have fun.And God is very generous, it has been sunny from morning to night.

"The weather forecast says it won't rain tonight." Tang En said to Tang who was sitting next to him in the car, feeling quite relieved.

Tang Ze frowned: "They have a party, why should we come? What's more, you said during the day that you would not attend this party, just to let everyone relax..."

George Wood announced his decision to hold a party in the back garden of his home on the first day, hoping that everyone would come and join him.At first, Eastwood wanted to refuse when he heard that it was Wood’s private party, but he was persuaded by Bell and Lennon, and decided that it’s okay not to give Wood face, but to give everyone face—because the whole team only needs to be okay. Almost everyone goes.

At this time, according to the written "script", Wood falsely invited Tang En, Tang, and Chris Lark to participate.

Chris Rack, the straight-headed man, was so happy that he opened his mouth to say yes.Tang suddenly coughed next to him, interrupting his attempt to speak, and then Tang En did not give Chris Lak time to react, and "declined" Wood's kindness in a manner that could not be heard as quickly as thunder.He said that as coaches, appearing on such occasions will make everyone unhappy, so we will not go!You can rest assured to play boldly, have fun, have fun!You are allowed to be one hour late for tomorrow's training!
The players cheered happily when they heard Tang En say that they could be one hour late for training the next day.Even if this matter is settled, everyone is happy.Only Chris Rack smacked his lips, looking a little frustrated—he really wanted to go, but who cares about his feelings?
In this way, the Nottingham Forest team went home to change their clothes after training, and then went to the captain George Wood's house to gather.

Tang En's white jeep was parked in a dark corner where the street lights couldn't take care of it, unobtrusive.The No. [-] and No. [-] of the Nottingham Forest team are sitting in these two dark cars at this moment.

"Idiot, I said that we are not going, it's just a beautiful scene. If I don't come, why would I go to such lengths to organize this event for them?" Tang En refuted Tang's ignorance.

"You can totally listen to the reaction of Wood and other players to this party tomorrow." Tang didn't think much of Twain's statement.

"As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing." Tang En shook his finger, then opened the car door, lifted a black backpack from the back seat, and waved to Tang En.

Tang reluctantly followed to get out of the car. In fact, what he couldn't understand the most was why he had to follow this kind of thing?
"I found a South American band for them, and I will sing "Eagle Song" (El_condor_pasa) for them! This is the real soundtrack, not the one adapted by Paul Simon into English! It must be successfully mobilized Mathias' emotions allowed him to find his accent in far away England!" On the way to Wood's house, Tang En excitedly told Tang about his "ingenious arrangement".

"That's a Peruvian folk song, not Chilean." But Don poured cold water on him.

"Peru?" Tang En was a little surprised, he really didn't pay attention, but... "Whatever! Isn't Peru and Chile next to each other? They're all the same! South Americans can sing and dance well. I believe there is good wine and music. , Mathias' emotions can definitely be mobilized. Chinese people pay attention to drinking alcohol to do things well, this is the truth, and it applies everywhere! Ha!" Tang En laughed complacently.

Tang was not interested in his high-sounding remarks, he bowed his head in silence and just walked.

※ ※ ※

Now that it has been said that the coaches will not participate in this party that belongs entirely to the players, it is of course impossible for Tang En and Tang to ring the doorbell in front of the door and then walk in openly.

To put it bluntly, Tang En and Tang came here to spy.This can also understand why Tang is so disgusted with this matter... He feels like a voyeur.

Dunn and Tang were no strangers to the environment around Wood's house, and they would visit it at least once a year.

Initially the mother and son lived in an apartment rented out by the club.Later, Wood moved again, still not far from Wilford, but the environment was better - a detached house, no one bothered.Close to the Trent River, the air is fresh and the house is surrounded by lush greenery, which is very suitable for Sophia to recuperate her body.

There are many large trees around Wood's house, some of which are just outside his back garden, and their dense branches will reach into the garden, and in summer, they will leave a deep shade for people to enjoy the shade.The destination of Tang En's trip was those thick and big trees.

Tang En led the silent Tang around half a circle outside the yard and finally locked on the target, but when he looked up, he found a person lying on the ground in the dark!This discovery startled him.After he saw clearly who it was, he shouted angrily, "You really think you are James Bond, Mr. Bruce?"

Pierce Bruce was so frightened that he almost fell from the tree.He turned his head and looked down, meeting Tang En's eyes.

"Come down!" Tang En pointed hard at his feet. "Otherwise, I'll call the police, Mr. Reporter!"

Being bumped into by Tony Twain, Bruce had no choice but to consider himself unlucky.He shuttled down the tree with a sad face, still defending himself: "I just went up, and I didn't see anything..."

"Why are you here?" Dunn didn't listen to his excuse.

"I heard that the Forest team had an internal party, but the media didn't know about it before. I thought there might be some good news..." Bruce said with his head down, feeling aggrieved.

Tang En smiled and said, "He is really a good and dedicated reporter. But where did you hear this news from?"

Bruce pursed his lips and shook his head.

"You really have a sense of loyalty!"

If Tang En knew who told Bruce the news, although that person would not be fired, a criticism would definitely be inevitable.For the sake of himself and that "informant", Bruce was right to choose silence.

Dunn no longer paid attention to Bruce. He didn't care about who gave Bruce information. Anyway, everyone knew that Bruce was the team's "Queen Reporter", so it was okay to disclose some innocuous "inside information" to him. Harmless.He began to carry the backpack on his back and started warming up.

"But Mr. Tang En...and Mr. Tang, why are you here?" Only then did Bruce realize that something was wrong - he unexpectedly met the top two players of the team at the same time outside Wood's house.

Tang En spat on his hands first, and then replied: "Do what you did!" After speaking, he kicked his feet up the tree with a run-up...

Then Bruce stared dumbfounded at Tang En's hands and feet, and quickly climbed up the tree, lying on the branch he had just walked over.After settling himself down, he waved to Tang below: "This location is good, Don. The scenery is very good."

Tang En folded his arms and stood on the spot, rejecting Tang En's warm invitation: "I don't want it."

Tang En shrugged at the tree, and stopped persuading him, but took out a thing from his backpack and put it in front of his face.Under the dense tree trunks in the night, Bruce couldn't see clearly, but judging from Tang En's gesture and the position of the thing, it should be a pair of binoculars...

"They didn't hire prostitutes, they were all their girlfriends or wives..." Bruce felt the need to speak for the team's players.Judging from this posture, Dunn obviously intends to follow Ferguson's example and catch the current situation, and is now collecting evidence.

"Shut up! Come up if you want to see it!" Tang En kept his eyes on the telescope.

Illuminated by the small lanterns like stars, a lively party is getting better and better around an open-air swimming pool in the large garden.The guests were chatting and eating happily.A wooden platform was temporarily set up near the corner of the room, on which a group of bands dressed in South American style were singing to add to the fun.

Tang En searched among the crowd, and he found his target.

Mathias Fernandez was very interested in this South American-style band, and stood in front of this group of bands with a glass of wine in a daze.Due to the distance and the noisy voices, Dunn couldn't hear what the band was singing, but as long as he knew that Fernandez was interested in this, he would be satisfied.

Liu Bang used the embattled enemy to destroy the morale of Xiang Yu's army, and he used it to help Fernandez find a familiar voice in the far away England.

However, Fernandez didn't appreciate Peruvian folk songs for too long. Tang En saw George Wood walking over and chatting with Fernandez.

Do they speak the same language?Tang En was surprised for a moment, and then realized.Spanish and Portuguese also seem to be able to barely communicate...

Dunn was on the tree, and through the binoculars, he watched with great interest how George Wood, a man who was not good at words, chatted with Fernandez—they both used a lot of body language, and it was estimated that half of them depended on guessing. Half of it was just talk, but they were able to chat for several minutes like this, and Tang En couldn't help but admire George.

After chatting for a while, Fernandez turned around and walked towards the crowd with Wood.

Tang En knew that this matter was basically a success.

But he was not in a hurry to get down, he continued to watch.

Surrounded by his teammates, Fernandez was busy greeting those female relatives. The smiles on his face became more and more, while the wine in his glass became less and less.In the end, with a red face, he jumped onto the stage, grabbed the microphone from the lead singer of the band, and started singing!

Seeing this scene, Tang En burst into laughter on the tree, which caused him to almost fall from above.

Seeing this, he was finally completely relieved, and slid out from the top.

Tang was still standing below waiting for him, while Bruce, who was lying on another branch, saw Tang En coming down, and slid down along with him.In fact, he still doesn't know what happened - it seems that this party held by George is normal, they didn't spend tens of thousands of pounds to invite countless prostitutes here for his teammates 3P, 4P, group P.The atmosphere was lively but not chaotic. Everyone played some small games to add to the fun, but it was related to football, such as who could kick the football to a certain goal in the competition.They bet on this, but such a gamble should only be a small gamble, and Tang En would not object.What confused him even more was that when Fernandez ran up to sing, Tang En suddenly laughed.

He really didn't understand what this man was thinking...

Just when he was confused, Tang En came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Bond, you came at the right time. You are fortunate to have exclusive news that all other media cannot get - I allow you to Write down what you see tonight and put it in the newspaper—of course, don't write about me and Don appearing here."

Bruce didn't expect the pie in the sky to fall, he nodded quickly: "I know what to write and what not to write, Tony. But can you tell me why..."

"I don't think it will take long for you to find out, Mr. Reporter. If you have confidence in your IQ, you might as well guess it, haha!" He patted Bruce, and then called Tang to leave the place.

Pierce Bruce tilted his head and scratched his head, then frowned and looked in the direction of George Wood's courtyard, where the lights were brightly lit and the party was in full swing.

※ ※ ※

"Hey, Don. I really didn't expect that Chilean could sing. It's a big loss that you didn't go up to see this scene!" On the way back to the parking lot, Tang En beamed and told Tang what he saw. all the fun stuff. "The way he holds the microphone is just like Maiba in KTV! I have never seen that he has any musical skills..."

"So things are going well?"

"Ah, it went well. I really want to hear Mathias sing... No, I have an idea, let him sing a song in the locker room..."

"Actually, it's nothing to do with me. Why did I have to come?" Tang En was still brooding over the fact that Tang En insisted on dragging him to come here in the past.

"It's you who didn't climb up to watch the show. It's your business if you climb up. Of course, if you don't come up, it's a waste of time." Tang En put all the responsibility on Tang.

"I don't want to be like the paparazzi. This is not the coach's way of doing things..." Tang frowned.

Tang En scoffed at this statement, and curled his lips: "What is the coach's way of doing things? As long as it can achieve the goal, you can do whatever you want."

"I think it should be more majestic at the very least... It's not a good idea to climb a tree to peep, it's too shameful to be caught."

"In front of them, of course I am very majestic. But sometimes you need to use some shady tricks to help you create a 'very majestic' head coach image, Don." Tang En began to teach Tang that he can call the shots. The experience of the coach for many years-in fact, it is just one word: pretend!

"As long as Bruce doesn't say anything, no one will know that we came to spy on you tonight. Of course I will pretend to ask George how the party went tomorrow, and I will also pretend to be interested in what they are talking about... As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter. The point is that Mathias fits into the team because of it, and it doesn't matter that I behaved like a paparazzi tonight."

Tang found that he couldn't say anything about Tang En, because it was true—as long as Bruce didn't say anything, no one would know what they did tonight.And Bruce certainly wouldn't say it.His sincerity can be seen from the informant he refuses to sell him the inside information. In addition, if the news of this matter leaks out, Dunn will know [-]% that Bruce leaked it, and what will happen if he annoys King Wilford Needless to say, I know...

Although Tang felt that it was a bit deceptive to do so, it seemed that there was no other way.

Tang En smiled smugly: "Tang, being the head coach is actually a very interesting thing. Don't put a stern face on your boss. A stern face doesn't mean you are professional or dignified. It will only alienate others. You Look at me! I thought it was going to be fun and fun tonight, just let's just go out and relax for the night, no big deal!"

He opened the door on the side of the passenger seat: "Go, I'll take you home!"

Don muttered, "You're always right!" and got into the car.

"Ha, what you said is absolutely right!" Tang En shamelessly took this as a compliment to him, and happily accepted it.

He had had a good evening and was in a good mood, and Don was the icing on the cake.
