Chapter 848 Happy [-]th Anniversary of Heart of the Lion King

"George Wood! GOAL! GOOAL! GOOOOAL!!" The commentator yelled, "Nottingham Forest is leading again! Ahh! This is an incredible goal! George Wood dribbled the ball from the midfield and went straight to Huanglong! Ladd and Mascherano and he still managed to score! The midfielder doesn't score often, let alone such a wonderful goal!"

Mascherano thumped the ground hard as Wood fired the football into the goal behind Reina.Now he regrets that he didn't push hard enough just now...

I don't know if Gerrard will regret that he didn't directly shovel Wood's foot just now.

After the goal, Wood froze for a moment, as if he forgot to celebrate.Then when Aaron Mitchell and Ibisevic rushed up to hug and celebrate with him, he pushed each other away and ran straight to the sidelines.

When Wood broke through the defense of Gerrard and Mascherano and entered the penalty area, Tang En had already stood up from his seat.He clenches his fists and waits to celebrate the goal.Now that he saw Wood running towards him again, he also rushed out of the coach's seat, opened his arms, and waited for a warm hug with Wood.

Wood saved his [-]th anniversary, and he has a lot to thank for it.

"Aha! Come on, George! Let me give you a warm hug!! You little baby!" Dunn posed in front of the crowd, waiting for Wood to bump into him.

But Wood passed by him like a gust of wind, without even looking at him, as if he was air...

"Hey……"

Eastwood was standing not far from Tang En, the team took the lead again, of course he was very happy, even though it was Wood who scored the goal.But he still got up from his seat and cheered and celebrated with his colleagues around him.At this moment, Wood rushed to his face and hugged him violently.

"Hey!"

"Wow!"

The people next to him scattered like birds disturbed by Wood.

Eastwood felt that Wood was hugging so hard, and still so hard, that he couldn't breathe.

"Woo... De..." Eastwood said with difficulty, "Do you...do you want... strangle me..."

Wood didn't intend to let go, he buried his head on Eastwood's shoulder, and seemed to be muttering something, but in such a noisy environment, Eastwood couldn't hear clearly even if it was right next to his ear.

What is he saying?What is he doing?
That's the question that's on Eastwood's mind right now.

Tang En put a hand from behind, patted Wood's head and shouted: "Okay, George! Are you going to murder your coach and former teammate?"

Sure enough, the words of the boss are the most useful.After he said that, Eastwood felt the pressure off him.Wood let go of him, then looked at him and said, "I'm sorry."

Then before Eastwood could recall the words, he turned and ran away.

He never gave a "warm" hug to the real protagonist of the game.But Tang En didn't take it to heart.

"Ten years late." Tang En stood in front of Eastwood and said with a smile, "But he is just so awkward."

Eastwood looked at Wood's back and nodded: "Yeah, awkward person..."

※ ※ ※

"After the goal, Wood ran over and hugged Eastwood. What a tender scene! The hug of the two of them shattered any previous rumors about cracks in Nottingham Forest, about George Wood causing Eastwood to retire early The rumors can stop..."

The narrator sighed after seeing this scene.

※ ※ ※

Just as Gerrard's world wave can boost the morale of Liverpool, George Wood's goal, and the hug between him and Eastwood after the goal also boosted the morale of Nottingham Forest.If everyone regards the forest team as their own big family, then the family members are all their friends. Even if friends quarrel and have conflicts, even if they have nothing to do with themselves, as a member of this big family, they will feel painful, depressed and disturbed .

Why the incident between Eastwood and George Wood will lead to the team's poor record in recent rounds is not just because of Wood's poor state.

So when everyone saw that Wood gave Eastwood a hug in person, the stone hanging in their hearts was put down.This is more obvious for the recovery of team morale than Gerrard's world wave.

In the ensuing game, the captain, who had regained the trust of the whole team, led Nottingham Forest to suppress Liverpool on the scene. Tony Twain made Wood's main attack adjustment in the second half completely beyond Benitez's expectations, and made him and Liverpool on the field even worse. What the players didn't expect was Wood's resoluteness in attacking, which was completely a kind of "do not break Loulan and vow not to pay back" momentum.Must score, must succeed, must win!
In the No.707 minute of the game, Nottingham Forest scored another goal.The man who scored this time was Aaron Mitchell.After receiving Wood's pass in the penalty area, he took advantage of his long legs to get rid of Skrtel's defense and then shot suddenly. The football hit Agger's leg and changed the line, which caught Reina by surprise.

3: 1!

However, such a score does not allow Dunn's butt to sit on the coach's bench.Everyone knows what kind of team Liverpool is. They are good at reversing when they are behind, not to mention that this is their home stadium - Anfield Stadium. More than 4 home fans will always be their strongest backing , and the No.12 player on the field.

As long as the game is not over, even if he leads by two goals, Twain cannot say that he has won the game.

Fortunately, the players on the field also knew what kind of team Liverpool was. They began to shrink and play their best defensive counterattacks, so that Liverpool did not dare to counterattack with all their strength.

This trick really made Liverpool uncomfortable.

It wasn't until the last 5 minutes that Liverpool got some good chances, and they couldn't care less about defense.Anyway, in the last 5 minutes, as long as you don't score, it's the same even if you let the opponent score ten.They pressed across the board and besieged the Forest team's goal frantically amidst the singing of "You'll Never Walk Alone".

They successfully scored a goal in the 89th minute. At that time, there was chaos in front of the Forest team. It was unknown whether someone kicked the ball or the ball touched someone. In short, the football flew in like that.Although Akinfeev made a save, he was still too late.

This goal boosted Liverpool's morale and planned to make persistent efforts to equalize the score.But Nottingham Forest didn't give them another chance like this. The scene was very dangerous at one time, but the Forest team finally held on to the score.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game after 4 minutes of stoppage time, Tony Twain was booed from the stands—this bastard got another victory as he wished, and in his ten Dodged a bullet on the anniversary.

Tang En seemed very happy. He got up and shook hands and hugged everyone around him. Everyone was congratulating him on his victory in this commemorative game.

Then Tang En walked towards Benitez, and stretched out his hand to him from a long distance, with a smile on his face like a place full of peach blossoms.

Benitez really wanted to hide from Tang En at this time, but where could he hide under the eyes of everyone?
"Congratulations, Mr. Tang En." In desperation, Benitez had no choice but to shake hands with Tang En reluctantly.

"Ha, thank you. This is a good game. You guys did a great job." Tang En replied with a smile.

When two people's hands touch lightly, it is considered as a handshake.Benitez turned and left, while Twain went back and hugged the players on the field, thanking them for their dedication and making this a wonderful night for him.

He hooked Wood's neck, pulled Eastwood over, and said loudly to many reporters: "I'm sorry to disappoint you!"

"Hey, Tony! Is there anything to talk about about your ten years?" The reporters didn't care about Tang En's taunts. After dealing with him for a long time, they were used to his temper. He just liked to use his tongue.

Tang En looked at the host's Wood, then at Eastwood standing next to him, and said with some pride: "Look for yourself, I've been here for ten years."

A reporter came up to ask Wood what was going on with that hug. Wood regained his grim expression and said succinctly: "Celebrate the goal."

The reporter asked: "Why did you think of celebrating the goal by hugging Eastwood?"

"I ran over and saw him and hugged him."

Tang En heard Eastwood muttering softly beside him: "It's so awkward..."

He smiled.

Back in the locker room, Evan Dougherty and Alan Adams were already waiting there. They were going to present Dunn with a commemorative trophy.

"I'm sorry, Tony. We can't present you this award in front of so many people on the court." Evan handed the crystal cup in his hand to Dunn.

"That's not important, Mr. Chairman." In front of the team, his address was still very formal. "Winning the game has made me very satisfied. My team has given me the best trophy." He said to the whole team, and he was rewarded with warm cheers and applause from the players.

At this moment, Eastwood stood up and said to Twain, "Boss, the team still has a gift for you."

Because he was a player of this team not long ago, and his popularity is very good.Therefore, Eastwood's main job after becoming a coach is to be responsible for contacting the team and the coaching staff, acting as a bridge.Now he's being pushed out as the face of the team.

When Twain was puzzled, Eastwood snapped his fingers, and Bell and Pepe held out a large cake with a crown. There were ten rubies made of big cherries on the crown, representing Tony Twain's These ten seasons of the Forest team.In the center of the crown is written in red jam:

It's only been ten years, and it's just getting started.

"Boss, we hope you can work for another ten years, another ten years." Pepe held the cake and expressed the aspirations of the whole team.

Tang En's eyes were a little moist, this move was beyond his expectation.He thinks these players are too cute.

"Thank you." His voice was a little choked up.

"Okay, don't be so sad!" Chris Rack greeted loudly from the side, and he winked at a few people next to him.

Wood and Eastwood pressed Tang En from left to right, and then Pepe, who was still affectionate just now, suddenly pressed the cake in Tang En's face...

"Happy [-]th Anniversary, Boss! Haha!"

※ ※ ※

The reporters finally waited for the long overdue Nottingham Forest manager.But his appearance surprised everyone present, even Benitez who had been waiting impatiently...

Tang En's face was all white, only two eyes were exposed. Looking at it suddenly, everyone thought a skull had come in.His dark red suit was also covered with white and red paste, and his dyed black hair was graying again.

"These are cream." After taking his seat, Tang En explained calmly to the stunned crowd. "There was a little 'war' in the locker room just now... as revenge for them, I just came out and showed you how I was treated! You must put it in the manuscript , Help me scold them, this is the ironclad proof of disharmony in the Nottingham Forest dressing room!"

He said it solemnly above, and some reporters below couldn't help laughing.Even Benitez couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

But some reporters couldn't keep their faces off. Even a fool could hear the overtones of Tang En's last sentence.Before he satirized, he hyped the media who were not united within the Forest team.

BBC5's "Today's Game" used this footage as a special highlight of this week's league, and put it at the end of the program.Seeing Twain on the screen full of righteous indignation and complaining about the team's treatment of him, Lineker smiled happily.

"This is the tenth anniversary of Tony Twain. Nottingham Forest captured Anfield, the most difficult place to attack. George Wood and Eastwood seem to have settled down. He received the crystal trophy presented to him by the club. And the 'special gift' from the team... Ha!"

Bascombedon's writing in his column is nothing like what he wrote while enjoying football at Anfield, and he has deleted the one-stop writing on the pitch.In the manuscript that everyone can read now, he congratulated Tony Twain on his victory, and thought that it was reasonable for the Forest team to win.However, at the end, he still wrote a bit sourly: "Nottingham Forest is Tony Twain's team. With Tony Twain, they are invincible in the world. But if Tony Twain is gone... maybe Nottingham Forest should consider The most important thing is to get rid of 'Twain dependency' in the future..."

But the supporters of Nottingham Forest are obviously unwilling to think about this kind of issue. To them, Tony Twain will be like Ferguson, who will work in the city stadium for the rest of his life until he retires when he is too old to play anymore.Then everyone erected a life-size bronze statue of him outside the stadium. Even if he is no longer on the coaching bench, his influence is still in every corner of Nottingham Forest.

This is the last scene a forest king should have.

Everyone believed that ten years was just the first step of Tony Twain's legend in Nottingham Forest. He was only 45 years old, and he still had a second decade, a third decade, and even... a fourth ten years.
