champion godfather

Chapter 836 Volume [-] Crimson Goodbye, Friend
One week after the Champions League final, TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet... all major media were talking about Ferguson's retirement.This is indeed the most sensational event in world football recently.Although Ferguson has announced his retirement time in advance, when this day really comes, it still makes people feel sad.

Even Wenger, who has been a rival for many years, gave Ferguson his blessing for his retirement: "He created an era. This may be the only time I praise him. In the 25 years of Manchester United, he did a really good job. League Champion? You know, life always needs to have such and such flaws to be beautiful, doesn’t it?” Wenger smiled slyly.

Even Klinsmann, who was defeated by Ferguson in the Champions League final, did not have any bad comments because Manchester United robbed him of the championship: "He is a role model worthy of my study and a goal to pursue. I am proud of him. Happy to win another European Cup before retiring, Manchester United are doing better and they deserve it."

In an interview with the TV station, Ferguson once again talked about his successor, an issue that everyone is concerned about.

"There are many excellent coaches in the world. I believe the board will choose the most suitable coach for Manchester United. Note that I said 'most suitable' instead of 'best'. I will not do anything about the club's personnel work. What's the comment. Now I just want to go home and have a good time with my wife, you know... For the first time in years, I don't have to think about tomorrow's training plan and the weekend lineup, which is actually a very comfortable thing. "

He didn't name the specific candidates, apparently not wanting to cause trouble for the club's selection of coaches.Because if he had to say it, it must be "Tony Twain", but Tony Twain definitely couldn't come to Manchester United.It's better not to say something that would embarrass everyone.He called Tang En in private, and after confirming once again that Tang En had no desire to join Old Trafford, he sighed with some regret.

When Tang En was tired of the overwhelming media articles commemorating Ferguson, he finally heard a different piece of news.

After the league ended, the Forest team disbanded on the spot and entered the holiday.

Tang En also planned to take advantage of this holiday to fly to the United States, spend many good nights with his wife, and continue their great "artificial human project".

And Tang is going to take Tang Jing back to his hometown, probably to meet his parents this time...

Before leaving, he suddenly called Tang En and asked to come out and meet alone.

Tang En felt very strange, if Tang had something to ask him, if they were not together, he would talk about it on the phone.No matter how big the matter is, it's not worth making an appointment alone to call out facial paralysis.

Strange as it is, Tang En still went to the appointment.He still didn't forget to joke with Tang on the phone: "Are we that kind of date?"

Actually, Tang Yue's place has nothing to do with the "date" Tang En said, it's in Wilford training base.

When Tang En drove over, there used to be a lot of reporters crowded at the entrance of the training base, people coming and going, and the bustling entrance of the training base, but now the sound of birdsong from the distant woods could be heard quietly.

The security guards at the door were surprised by the sudden arrival of the head coach. Tang En smiled and greeted them and was let through.

Tang En parked the car in the parking lot, and when he got out of the car, he saw Tang waiting at the entrance of the building.

He raised his hand to say hello, but he didn't rush to walk over, but took a few steps in the parking lot under the sun.

"It's a nice day, nice and sunny." He was saying something that only the Don and he could tell what was funny.

But this time Tang Ke was not amused by Tang En. He stood in the shadow of the building with a blank expression on his face.

Tang En waved at him: "The sun is so bright today, don't you feel the wind is blowing around when you stand there? If you have something to say, let's talk while walking, how about going to the training ground?"

Don nodded in agreement.

But before none of them spoke, they just walked and walked.Until they inadvertently walked to the No. [-] training ground.Tang En laughed when he saw the training ground, which was still like a vegetable field: "If Guardiola sees this training ground, I don't know if he will make a piece of it for Barcelona's training base as well?"

Tang didn't answer, so Tang En turned his head and asked, "Is there something on your mind, Tang? Did Tang Jing force you to get married?"

Tang Bai gave him a look: "I do have something to tell you, but I don't know how to say it."

"Hey, which one of us is with whom! I'm a brother from my hometown in Sichuan. If you have anything to say, just tell me. You don't have to worry about the wedding gift."

Tang coughed: "It has nothing to do with marriage. Tony...um." He hesitated to speak.

Tang En frowned. It was rare for him to see such a mother-in-law as Tang En. "Bad news?"

"No...I don't know." Tang shook his head. "I... I intend to terminate the contract with the club early."

Tang En was startled, he thought he had heard wrong.Are the birds chirping too loud in the woods affecting your hearing?
Tang and the club's assistant coach contract has two years left.Tang En originally planned to give Tang a new contract after the start of next season and extend it for a longer period.Maybe it will be eight years if you sign like yourself, that would be the best.

Seeing Tang En looking at him with incredulous eyes, Tang explained: "I've thought about this question for a long time. I...uh..." He rubbed his hands, not knowing where to put them. "I don't want to be an assistant coach anymore."

"Why?" Tang En asked, he didn't want to express any opinions now, he just wanted to hear Tang's explanation.

"Tony, you may not know...at first, we...before that, I didn't think about being a head coach. Later you found me, and I also thought it would be fine to be an assistant coach. But after following you for so many years, I suddenly felt ... felt that I really wanted to try to be a head coach."

Tang En looked at him: "Continue talking."

"Hmm..." Tang pondered for a moment, thinking about where to start.He rarely said so many words in one breath, but this time it was related to his choice of future life path, so he had to say more.

"Honestly, Tony. I was the acting head coach while you were away with a heart attack, and it was me while you were suspended...but it's your team, not me Yes. I want to be not an 'acting' manager. I want to be a real manager, but I don't have that opportunity at Nottingham Forest."

"I'm not complaining, Tony. But the current Nottingham Forest is your Nottingham Forest, and you have a deep imprint on it. I can't change this imprint, so I have a hard time as an acting manager. You know what? , Tony? Sometimes when I want to say something to the players, I have to use your identity to say it, so that it will be effective."

Tang En just raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

"I told them—Tony thinks .

"Is this a compliment to me?" Tang En didn't smile. "Simply put, you want to be a manager, but at Nottingham Forest you can only be an assistant manager, right?"

Don nodded.

Tang En was silent for a while, and then said: "It seems that I really...haven't considered your feelings. I kept you by my side only because I thought you could help me a lot as an assistant coach... Should I be very big at this time? I said to you: "Go, go and pursue your life ideals"? But I still don't want you to go. I'm a bit selfish, but I can't help it. You have to go, my job is not easy to do .”

Tang shook his head: "You are looking for reasons for being lazy."

"Well, I want to be lazy." Tang En nodded and acknowledged Tang's "accusation". "But for whatever reason, don't you think we are a golden partner? Together, we are invincible! I hope you stay, Don."

In the past, when Tang En asked Tang to do something, he would always agree, whether he was willing or not.But this time, Tang En's trick didn't work. Tang seemed to have made up his mind: "It's useless, Tony. I've thought about it for a long time, and I think I should leave the forest and try another way."

"Has a club invited you?"

Tang didn't deny it, he nodded: "There is one family."

"Ha!" Tang En laughed dryly.

"A team from the English Second Division."

Tang En really laughed this time.He seems to have heard a very funny joke.Tang didn't stop him, and quietly watched Tang En laughing until he squatted on the ground.

"Ha... honestly, Don. Do you really think that leaving Nottingham Forest for a team like that would do your future any good? English Second Division, huh? A team in the fourth tier, the equivalent of what used to be Class C! Are you really going?"

Tang said seriously: "I really want to go."

"Are you sure?" Tang En, who was squatting on the ground, stopped smiling and squinted at him.
"I'm sure."

"Is that good for you?" Tang En asked angrily as he stood up.He really couldn't understand Tang's choice, so he would rather think that it was Tang's excuse to escape from him on purpose.

"I don't know, Tony. I don't know if it's good for me. But I want to try... Maybe I'm still a sucker, can't even lead a second-division team, and finally get fired. Who You know?" He said calmly about the terrible future. "But this idea keeps circling in my mind every day. I just want to try... Even if it doesn't work, at least I tried."

"Go and try to bring out a team with your stamp on it?"

"Yes. I envy you, Tony. I hope to achieve what you have accomplished someday."

Tang En did not express any joy at Tang's praise.He still had a straight face and was in a very bad mood.

"I decided to start from scratch. I am confident that I have learned a lot from you and should be able to help. But I don't have to be your type of head coach. I am still not good at talking to people."

"Such a team...with no fame or fortune..." Tang En still wanted to persuade Tang to give up this Arabian Nights idea.

"I don't care much about fame and fortune, Tony. I just want to see if I have what it takes to be a head coach."

Tang En still frowned, with a bad expression on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Tang sighed: "Do you still remember Chen Jian, Tony?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment, he didn't realize why Tang suddenly mentioned that Chinese kid. "Remember, what's wrong? He's still practicing in the youth team and the reserve team. I haven't seen him for a long time..."

"Do you remember how you talked to him on the phone about him coming to England? Do you remember how excited you were when you got off the phone? Do you remember the decision to use Wood's training program? When you came to train him, how did you answer my questions?"

Tang En was left speechless by Tang's three consecutive rhetorical questions.

"You ask me if I have a dream, you ask me if I have an impulse to do something. You also tell me: 'Men, there must be one thing in this life that they want to accomplish no matter what. '. Thank you, Tony. Now I have a dream, I have the urge to do something, and there is one thing in my life that I want to do no matter what."

Tang En was defeated by Tang with what he had said, and he lost his temper completely.

He looked at Tang Laobai, and then laughed: "You are getting more and more glib."

Seeing him laughing, Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "Where is it?"

"If you are so determined to go, I can't stop you. After all, you are not my personal belongings, and I have no right to interfere in your life. It doesn't matter what kind of road you want to take, and what kind of path you can take in the end." It has nothing to do with me." Tang En waved his hand and admitted defeat.He is indeed stubborn, but he is not unreasonable.

When Tang heard what he said, he suddenly smiled: "You are so heartless."

"You hurt me, of course I have to be more heartless." Tang En glared at him. "But... I said if, if, if you really can't get along anymore, come back. Wilford's door is always open to you."

"Like Queiroz?"

Tang En chuckled: "I don't think it's right for a good horse not to turn back. If you want to come back, just give me a call, and the position of assistant coach will be vacated for you."

Don said nothing.After telling Tang En the thoughts in his heart, he relaxed a lot.From today on, he can pursue his ideals.Although this was a bit cruel to Tang En, after all, the two of them got along day and night and cooperated tacitly at work. His sudden departure really caught Tang En by surprise.But in fact, if he hadn't considered minimizing this impact, he might have left in the season Twain came back.This season, the Forest team is on the right track, and a new group of young players such as Mitchell have also emerged, making him feel that the time is ripe and he can leave with confidence.

"Tony. Since I'm leaving, there's something I want to tell you... In fact, my leaving is a good thing for you."

"What good is that? I've lost a right-hand man."

"You always used your lack of familiarity with team training as an excuse before, and I arranged everything. But you have been in the team for eight years now, so you should see it? But I have been here , you will leave everything to me. I am leaving, you can’t find anyone, you have to do it yourself. I think this can further improve your own level. Don’t underestimate yourself, Tony, you have potential and don't live up to it, it's a waste. Waste is shameful."

Tang En continued to laugh: "You are considered to be someone who is about to leave. Are your words good?"

Tang did not continue to entangle with Tang En on this topic, he believed that Tang En had already listened. "After explaining the matter to you, I have nothing else to say." He planned to leave.

"By the way, can you tell me which team invited you to be the head coach?"

When Tang heard Tang En's question, an uncontrollable smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Tang En became even more curious: "Which team is it? If I need to help at that time, I can loan you the players of the Forest Youth Team. You can pick whoever you want, and you won't be charged for the loan..."

Tang couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Nods County."

Tang En's eyes widened, and he stopped in the middle of speaking. His mouth opened wide, as if he saw an alien.

"Damn! Did I hear you right?"

"I thought you'd be glad I didn't have to move from Nottingham."

"I'm happy about your size!" Tang En felt as if he had been tricked. "The sworn enemy of Nottingham Forest! I take back every word I said before! Want to loan players from me? No way! You go dream! Next time we meet, it must be a real match!"

"Ha! Do you finally feel like a city derby?" Tang smiled happily.

Dunn gritted his teeth and stared at him: "Are you still laughing? Did you do it on purpose? It's not good to pick any team, you pick Notts County!"

Tang spread his hands: "Other teams look down on me, only they found me. They don't think there is anything wrong with me being the assistant coach of the Forest team. Naturally, I can't reject them just because they are Notts County."

"You really...you really, are you doing anything to become the head coach?" Tang En lost his temper.

"The conditions they offer are also very tempting. Although the team's recent situation is not good, they promise that I will have the final say in the team, and I will also manage the youth training camp. I can build my team from scratch. According to my own philosophy. This is the best condition."

Tang En nodded vigorously: "Very good! I wish you to lead the team to complete the triple jump and appear in the Premier League. Then every season, I will have two chances to beat you bastard face to face!"

"I'm looking forward to that day." Tang Xiaoying replied.

After cursing, Tang En still stretched out his hand: "I can't survive in Notts County anymore, and I welcome you back if you want. Don't worry about the pressure from the fans, I believe that what I say still has weight."

Tang also stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Tony."

※ ※ ※

Two days later, some media reported that Nottingham Forest's first assistant coach, Chinese Tang, had terminated his contract with the club.Nottingham Forest took to their official website to thank him for all he has done for the team and wish him the best of luck elsewhere.

Three days later, Notts County officially announced the official signing of the former Nottingham Forest assistant coach Tang, as the team's new head coach, on a four-year contract.

But these two pieces of news were drowned in the overwhelming "Ferguson" news, not even a single wave was turned up.

The fans of Nottingham Forest and Notts County have noticed these two pieces of news. They have different opinions on this. Some people understand and some criticize, but no matter what, they can't interfere with the path Tang wants to take.

Bruce planned to interview Tang En. He wanted to know the news behind this personnel change, but Tang En, who had already flown to Los Angeles to spend time with his wife, simply turned off his phone. He could only sigh while holding the phone that was constantly busy.

After working with Tang En for five years, Tang chose to part ways.Whether this choice was a blessing or a curse for him and Dunn, no one knows now.The two of them chose two different paths. After a few years, will the two paths meet one day?
