Chapter 926 The Big Trouble of Twain at the Heart of the Seventh Lion King
The new season has already started. Nottingham Forest has played three league rounds, with two wins and one tie, which is not too bad.Although they changed two head coaches, the foundation laid by Tony Twain was very solid. After experiencing the turmoil in the summer, the team still maintained a relatively high standard.

After seeing the performance of the Forest team, the media also changed their caliber.Before, they were not optimistic about the Forest team that had experienced a personnel storm due to internal and external troubles.Some experts have analyzed that the goal of the Forest team this season should be to strive to enter the European arena next season, whether it is the Champions League or the UEFA Cup, not the defending champion.

Now they believe that as long as Flores can stabilize the team, the Forest team is still a strong contender for the championship.

The Forest team performed well, and the happiest person was Evan Dalgety.As the league progressed, the slurs he got were fading away.Although there will be some fans hanging slogans insulting him in the stands in every game, but after all, they are very few, and he selectively ignores them.

He began to look forward to the scene where the team successfully defended the league championship after the end of the season.At that time, everyone will completely forget about Tony Twain, and start to praise him as the most successful chairman in the history of the club, comparable to Real Madrid's Mr. Bernabeu.

The 30-year-old Ibisevic has been sold to Serie A newcomer Genoa, and the Forest team has reaped 2000 million pounds from this deal.I have to say that Allen Adams is a master of negotiating skills. The 30-year-old Ibisevic made him boast that he was in his prime, in the golden age of a striker, with efficient and stable goals, and even more incredible It is because you have the experience of winning many cups, and as the main scorer of the Triple Crown team, you only sold it to you for 2000 million pounds. You really made a lot of money!
In this way, Nottingham Forest sent away the last player to leave the team this summer.Aaron Mitchell was completely righted and became the team's leading shooter.Although Gareth Bell, George Wood, Fernando Gago, Akinfeev... and others that everyone predicted before did not transfer and leave.But the media believe that this is just because there is no agreement on the price for the time being, and the inability to leave this summer does not mean that they will not be able to leave next summer.As long as the forest team's performance this season is not satisfactory, the departure of those people is almost a certainty.

In this summer, Nottingham Forest only bought four people, but there was no large-scale cleaning.This is due to the sobriety and persistence of the two previous coaches, Martin O'Neill and Flores - under such circumstances, there is no more effective way than to maintain a stable lineup.

Thiago Silva, Michael Dawson and Mario Balotelli, and a Belgian attacking midfielder, Eden_Hazard.

The signings are not strong, and they have been entangled in the question of "who should be responsible for the current status of the team" all summer.No one is responsible for the team's preparations for the new season, and no one has a plan that has been implemented.Even Flores, when he took over the team, the new season has almost started.Trying to combine the cards in his hand is enough for him to have a headache, and he hardly thinks about such things as signings.

After three league rounds, Nottingham Forest is temporarily ranked fourth.They are about to fly to Monaco to participate in the UEFA Super Cup held there.As the winner of the European Champions Cup last season, they will compete with Alkmaar of the Netherlands, the UEFA Cup winner last season, for the king of kings in Europe.

Before that, a major event in English football was Tony Twain's release of his second squad for the national team.

As the media had guessed before, most of the 25-member roster are old faces.

Not many from the fringes of the first friendly made it to this list.This was Dunn's first official game leading the England team, and he was more cautious than outsiders imagined.

In the previous draw, England was assigned to the third group, which is Group C.The other six teams in their group are the Nordic powerhouses Denmark, Wales, Ireland, Serbia, Macedonia and Armenia.To be honest, this group is not considered the strongest group. Perhaps only Denmark and Serbia can pose a threat to the England team.But in Twain's heart, unfamiliar teams are more dangerous.It's the same with club games - you're likely to make mistakes against opponents you don't know well.

Tang En admitted that he didn't understand opponents like Macedonia at all.So during this period of time, when he didn't go to the Premier League to watch the game, he and his coaching staff were desperately collecting relevant information about Macedonia, analyzing tactics, and researching countermeasures.

This was England's first match in the European Championship qualifiers, and Twain was very concerned about this first match.He hopes that the team can get a "good start", so that future games will be easier to play.Another non-superstitious factor is that Macedonia is not a strong team. If England cannot win Macedonia at home, then it will lose a chance to grab points in vain.

In the 26-man roster announced by Tang En, none of them came from non-English Premier League teams.

The Arsenal team has two players selected, both from the midfield, namely Walcott (Theo_Walcott) and Wilshere (Jack_Wilshere).

Aston Villa two selected, goalkeeper Stuart Taylor (Stuart_Taylor) and right back Glen Johnson (Glen_Johnson).

Blackburn alone, old goalkeeper Paul Robinson (Paul_Robinson).

Chelsea three, central defender John Terry (John_Terry), midfielder Joe Cole (Joe_Cole), midfielder James Milner (James_Milner).

Manchester City three, midfielder Gareth_Barry (Gareth_Barry), central defender Curtis Davies (Curtis_Davies), defender Stephen Taylor (Steven_Taylor).

Manchester United three, central defender Rio Ferdinand (Rio_Ferdinand), striker Wayne Rooney (Wayne_Rooney), midfielder Michael Carrick (Michael_Carrick).

Liverpool two.Midfielders Steven Gerrard and Nigel Reo-Coker.

Middlesbrough alone.Midfielder Stewart Downing (Stewart_Downing).

Leeds United alone.Fabian Delph (Fabian_Delph) in midfield.

Everton three.Defender Joleon Lescott (Joleon_Lescott), left back Leighton Barnes (Leighton_Baines), forward James Vaughan (James_Vaughan).

Next is Nottingham Forest, which has the largest number of selected national teams this time, with five of them selected.Left back Joe_Mattock, midfielder David_Bentley, forwards Aaron_Mitchell and Gabriel_Agbonlahor, and their Captain, midfielder George Wood (George_Wood).

"Tony Twain fulfilled what he said at the inauguration press conference: 'If the players from Nottingham Forest are doing well, why not choose them?' Looking at such a big list, we realize once again that The fact that Tony Twain only coached in Nottingham Forest before he became England's head coach. He is most familiar with this team..."

The media commented on his big list like this.

In terms of talent selection, they were quite satisfactory, and the only ones with a strong "Tony Twain style" were the five Forest players.

"Nottingham Forest's players were unaffected by that tumultuous summer and will carry a lot of responsibility in the New England squad."

"Tony Twain's cronyism may cause dissatisfaction among other clubs."

"Bullshit dissatisfaction." Tang En threw aside the newspapers that habitually said bad things about him. "I don't recruit their players, those coaches can't wait. Des, did you see the expression on Benitez's face when I wanted to recruit Gerrard who had just returned from injury? It was like I robbed his wife .”

Walker laughed beside him.

Today is August 29th, and all the players who appear on this list have flown from various places to London to report.Only the five players from Nottingham Forest have not yet arrived, and they will report after they have finished participating in the UEFA Super Cup.

Dunn and Walker were waiting in front of the TV to watch the game.

After changing his identity, Tang En found that his thinking and mentality had also changed.In the past, under such circumstances, he hated the national team's recruitment of players before important games, because this would somewhat cause the players to have thoughts in their hearts, worrying about being injured during the game and not being able to play for the country.For the head coach of the club, such thinking may sometimes cause him to lose the victory, so he must try his best to avoid this situation.

Not so now.He is now standing in a trench with the players, worrying that the players are too hard in the club game, causing injuries, or breaking out of their form in advance, but they will not be able to find their form and lose their energy when they arrive at the national team.

But it is impossible to hope that the Forest team will lose the game because of this.

Alkmaar is not a strong team, and it shouldn't be a problem for Nottingham Forest to win this game.Twain only hoped that Flores would save himself some face and replace the main players ahead of schedule when the victory was already secured.

The rosters for both sides of the game were displayed on the TV screen.

For Nottingham Forest, goalkeeper Akinfeev, center backs Michael Dawson and Thiago Silva partnered, left back Gareth Bale, right back Rafinha.Midfielders George Wood, Fernando Gago, Mathias Fernandez and David Bentley.Forwards Aaron Mitchell and Abang Raho.

Except that Joe Mattock was not in the starting lineup, everyone else was on.

Tang En can only hope that they will not be injured or have physical problems.

This UEFA Super Cup match ended with Nottingham Forest's victory.Apart from posing a little threat to the Forest team at the beginning of the game, Alkmaar quickly gave up control of the midfield.After George Wood and Gago firmly controlled the midfield, the Forest team began to counterattack.

It is worthy of being the team that won the Triple Crown last season, with a solid foundation.

Attack after attack threatened Alkmaar's gate.

Nottingham Forest's offensive frenzy paid off in the No.307 minute.

Mitchell assisted Abanglaho with his head and blasted the opponent's gate.

Seeing this goal, Walker was very excited. It seems that both of them are in good condition.

"The two of them can be used as the striker combination of the national team. Abanglahor and Mitchell have enough tacit understanding..." he suggested.

Tang En shook his head: "Managing the national team is not that simple, Des. You see, I just recruited a few more players from the Forest team, and I have already attracted condemnation from some local media. If the sick Rooney is put on the bench, the reporters in Manchester will definitely tear me apart. I have to balance the relationship between all parties. I don't want to form a 'Forest faction', 'Manchester United faction', 'Liverpool faction' in my team Gang', 'Chelsea Party', 'Gunners' ... these little messy groups."

Walker gave him a blank look: "Then you said in front of the reporters, 'If they perform well, use them'?"

"That's just a way to deal with reporters, and it also sends a signal to the players-I only recognize the status and not the person. It's just a management method. It can't be done so bluntly. There are many situations that are not here to talk about. It will be clear. Well, stop discussing this and continue watching the game..."

After Forest took the lead, Alkmaar tried to fight back, only to leave more space behind. Forest seized the opportunity to make another move and almost sealed the victory in the first half.

The next game is not interesting.Flores gave Twain enough face, and replaced Bentley and Mitchell, two players from the England national team, in the second half.George Wood, as the captain, still played the whole game.Twain had no objection to this point. Wood was a monster and a future fighter. He had no physical problems at all, and he played the whole game.

When the Forest team lost the Community Shield, people were worried that such a team would start to collapse in the new season and plummet.

At this time, Flores led the team to win the Super Bowl. This is very good news for the team, which stabilized the morale of the army and boosted their fighting spirit.

Look at Evan Daugherty on the rostrum, how bright his smile is.This was probably the happiest he had laughed in the past three months.

George Wood held the Super Bowl high, surrounded by his teammates laughing, and everyone raised their hands to touch the trophy.

The commentator said with enthusiasm: "Nottingham Forest successfully won the Super Cup! They became the best of the European kings this year! After a chaotic summer, they started again. Flores also got him Coaching the team's first championship, it seems that he is full of confidence in leading the team to replicate the glory of Tony Twain! Maybe it won't be long before he can successfully make the Forest fans forget about Tony Twain The presence……"

Walker glanced at Tang En next to him.

There was no sign of change on Tang En's face. He noticed that Walker was looking at him, so he glanced at him: "Don't look, prepare to face the biggest trouble."

"The biggest trouble?" Walker was stunned.He hadn't heard of such a thing, what trouble could it be?Could something be wrong?Trouble from Nottingham Forest?Aren't those people all direct descendants of Tang En? How could there be any trouble?

Dunn didn't explain, just staring at the TV screen.In fact, he was stimulated just now.Seeing George Wood's face, he suddenly remembered - the second time he went to the Crimson Stadium, he was cheered by the fans and saw the respect of the players, but George didn't seem to express much.He was at the front of the line, the first to walk out of the passage without even looking up.

Dunn didn't know what Wood was thinking and what he thought of himself.

How will he face George when he is in the national team?
This is really the biggest trouble...
