Chapter 938 The End of the Season of Heart of the Seven Lion Kings
Lennon's performance still failed to impress himself because he got too little playing time.

After the game, Dunn and Lennon met.

Facing his mentor, Lennon poured out all his bitterness.

He was asked to buy by Mourinho, because Mourinho has a strong "winger complex", but after Zola came up, he was not optimistic about Lennon, an injured Englishman.If he can't play for a long time, he can't guarantee his state at all, so even if Dunn stays in Milan, he won't be able to see Lennon's best performance.

Tang En also told Lennon very seriously that if he still wanted to go to Spain, he had to work hard to get the chance to play.If you really can't get such an opportunity in Inter Milan, then you might as well choose to rent or transfer to leave.

If someone else had said this to him, then Lennon would have preferred to die rather than admit his failure in Italy.But facing Tang En, the former boss, he could only nod to accept this suggestion.Seriously consider whether you still want to waste your time in Inter Milan.

Maybe English players are really not suitable to play in Italy.Not only Italy, but other countries as well.After the English players went out of the country, there were only a handful of them who succeeded. Although the media always advocated them as one of the best stars in the world, this reality proved that at least his adaptability was not very good.

Think again about the only major international championship that the England team has achieved so far. The 1966 World Cup championship was held on British soil.Maybe even the national team is the same. Outside of England, I don’t know how to play football.

Tang En wants to break this fate, not because he has surging patriotic passion in his body, but because he wants to prove that he is a truly outstanding head coach who can lead such a bad team like England to win the championship.

※ ※ ※

Lennon didn't surprise Twain, but Twain's former assistant coach made him look with admiration.

Tang En spent Christmas with his assistant Des Walker on the plane.But he didn't feel depressed, because Nottingham Forest's performance made him in good spirits, and he had a lot more talk with Walker.

It wasn't just Dunn and Walker who talked about the new head coach of Nottingham Forest during the trip.Now the media all over England are paying attention to him.

When he took over the Forest team and became the team's transitional head coach, no one was optimistic about his future in this club.Some people even heard his full name for the first time... No way, who made Tony Twain's light so dazzling before?Being with him is like a star hidden behind the brilliant sun. Even if it is a first-class star, as long as it is close to the sun, human beings cannot observe its existence with the naked eye.

It is such a person who led the seemingly exhausted Nottingham Forest to three consecutive victories in the tightest devil's schedule on Christmas!

Moreover, the opponent they defeated was not a fish belly in the lower ranks, but a strong opponent in the middle and upper reaches.

The seemingly inconspicuous man pulled the forest team out of the mire that continued to slide, then washed off the dirt on his body, recalibrated his direction, and strode forward.

Even Dunn admitted in the conversation with Walker that Chris Lark's performance exceeded his expectations.His favorite colleague has always been the Chinese Tang. He didn't expect Chris Rack to grow so much silently.

When he directs the game, he is always restless, standing on the sidelines and constantly whistling and gesticulating. He looks like a passionate person, but when he is interviewed, he appears very humble.Thinking that the winning streak is the credit of the players, he just reawakened the players' desire to win.

To be honest, this Forest team has lost interest in winning after many trebles and too many twists and turns.For these people, as club players, they have all the honors they can get.So what reason is there to continue running as hard as before?They have already stood on top of the world, where are they going?
If Tang En was still there, he would tell them that although they had already stood on the top of the world, if they wanted to continue fighting forever, they needed to constantly defeat those challengers who climbed up from below and push them off the top.There are as many challengers as ants, and they can't be killed all, so they can't stop for a moment.

But Flores only wanted to get rid of Tang En's influence and reshape the glory.This kind of reason is too unconvincing. Everyone is already brilliant enough, shining golden light all over their bodies. If every champion wears rings, they already need to use their toes to wear all the rings... why? Do you still want to work desperately to rebuild the glory with you?
As an outsider, Flores was helpless in the face of the huddled Nottingham Forest dressing room. He could never really enter the core of this team.

But Chris Lack is different. He can arouse the players' desire for victory because he is a Forester himself, and it is easier to gain the trust of the players.He is familiar with these players and knows what they want.They don't necessarily want to reshape the glory, but they want to keep it.No one wants to be a joke that won the Triple Crown last season and won't even be able to participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

Chris Lark was right when he was interviewed.At present, the main framework of this team is still there, and its strength should not be underestimated.Consecutive losses are not due to lack of strength, but psychological problems.After following Tang En for so many years, he has seen and understood Tang En's psychological adjustment, and it can be used in the forest team immediately.

While watching the game in other places, Dunn was also asked by the reporters what he thought of the recent performance of the Forest team.

Although he used to treat the forest team like gold, but now his former assistant has become the acting head coach of the forest team, and he has performed quite well. Twain still has to praise Chris Lack.

"He's done a great job. I hope he stays on for a long time and not just as an 'acting manager'. He has the ability to take Forest out of a tough situation...that's how I see it. David is a humble man , good grades are the best reward for him..." Of course, Tang En did not forget his current identity, so that people would not feel that his concern for the Forest team was too naked, he added: "I am also very happy The Forest internationals can play in a stable environment which will help them maintain their form."

Even though he said so, the media still know that among all the Premier League teams, he pays the most attention to Nottingham Forest, from the fact that he went to watch the Forest team's games many times...

This man is a crony, and if what he does can bring honor to the England team, so be it.If the England team misses the European Cup, he will become the target of public criticism, and Nottingham Forest's England internationals will be buried with him.

It's really unpredictable. He used to always appear in front of everyone as a "protector of the calf". He never passed the pressure on to the players, but chose to bear it alone. For this reason, he was tired and had a heart attack. .Why when he became the head coach of the national team, what he did and said all pushed the Forest team's international players to the forefront?
All prosperity, one loss all loss?

What a crazy idea.

※ ※ ※

The significance of Christmas and New Year to Tang En has become less and less. Anyway, every day is work, and there are more work during these two holidays.With Shania not around, it's meaningless to have a holiday or not. It's better to use crazy work to dilute the loneliness caused by this kind of missing.

time flies.It was already June of 2015 when Dunn finally established a three-dimensional and complete information about the Premier League in his mind.

During this period, the national team played three more games, a friendly match against Israel and two European Cup qualifiers.

England have achieved a record of victory.

3:0 home win against Israel.

2:0 away win against Ireland.

A 4:0 home victory over Armenia, the weakest city in this group.

Tony Twain's England has not lost a game since its inception, and the halo of "Triple Crown" and "Godfather of Champions" is shining brightly on his head, making the media feel ashamed because of his arrogance. The bad feelings produced are much less.

This is the reality of the football world. If you have achievements, you are a god, and if you don't, you are not even considered human.

Of course, there are people who disagree with this.Tony Twain's staunch opponent, Mr. Carl Spike, questioned Tang En's current achievements in his program——

"Macedonia, Armenia, Australia, Ireland, Israel, and Wales are not strong teams, and they are all classified as 'weak teams'. Serbia and Denmark, which Twain considers to be strong teams, are nothing more than that in my opinion. .Our draw in the qualifiers was very good. Although this group has the most matches in all groups, our opponents are very weak. Isn't it normal to win the game easily against a weak team? Why? Will there still be so many people cheering for Twain? If he can't even win against such a team, then he should be on the front page. If I say, if Tony Twain will lead the England team to glory now, wait. Let’s talk about him meeting a really strong team..."

What is a real strong team?
"...at least teams like France, Spain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina..."

June is a season of harvest. The major leagues are coming to an end. Clubs who have worked hard for a season should already know their ultimate fate at this time.Teams fighting for the title, hoping to qualify for next season's European competition, fighting for survival... June is the month of sentencing.

In the past, this time was often the time when Tang En was most stressed, busiest and most tired.Now he can sit on the stands with his hands folded and watch the tigers fight.The league titles, cup titles, and relegation places that countless people have won bloody battles are not worth mentioning in his opinion now.He enjoys the climax of each season's drama with the mood of watching a drama.

David Chris Lacker has proven that he can be a good manager. Nottingham Forest won the league title under his leadership, but returned to the European Champions Cup.Thinking about what the Forest team was doing in the summer before this season, this is already a remarkable achievement.

Ranked fourth in the league, last season's European champions need to fight for Champions League qualification this summer.But no one felt that this was an insult to them, and the local media in Nottingham were all grateful for this result.

A turbulent Forest team has endured an unforgettable season.They changed coaches midway, both the FA Cup and the League Cup were eliminated early, the league once ranked outside the top ten, and the Champions League barely reached the top [-] before being eliminated. Under such circumstances, Chris Luck can still lead the team. The team reached fourth in the league, which is enough to prove his ability.

Evan Dalgety is said to be considering giving Chris Lack a long-term deal.In Twain's view, this was the only correct decision he made after being confused for a season.

Chris Lack does not have a prominent past record and reputation to support him, but as a Nottingham Forest family member, he needs to use these false names to manage the dressing room. He has his own set of methods, and he can easily compete with most The players bonded together, they knew each other well, there were no barriers in communication.

For Evan Dalgetty, Chris Lack is also a very suitable candidate.Now he must regret why he didn't notice such an outstanding talent right under his nose?People who always look far away, of course, don't care about the stones under their feet, so it's only natural for them to be stumbled and bitten by a dog.

Chris Lacker is not the type of head coach with an endless supply of unique personalities who will always contradict his boss, even when he throws a tantrum at him.Just look at how he served Tony Twain, and you will know what kind of temper he is. "Good old man" Chris Lack naturally will not make irresponsible remarks on the interference of the club chairman, which is his greatest advantage.He loved the Forest team more than Tony Twain. Even if he was treated unfairly, he would not give up like Twain did.It is said that Dunn once wanted to recruit him to be an assistant coach in England, but he refused.Such a loyal and obedient head coach who can lead the team to victory is hard to find even with a lantern.

The chairman has regained his confidence after experiencing successive setbacks - as long as there is one more season, the fans of Nottingham Forest will surely forget Tony Twain's name. He used Manchester United as his example 11 years ago, but now his idea is out of date.His new idol is the club chairman of Real Madrid, who can cover the sky with one hand, and is known as the "Godfather of Real Madrid" Mr. Perez Florentino.

In Evan's eyes, being the president of the club does his part to be considered a success.

Now he has long forgotten the cold eyes and insults he suffered at the Bernabeu a year ago.Because even if they lost the Champions League at their own door, Real Madrid is still the most influential team in the world. Their various transfer news can always easily grab the front pages of major media, attracting people from all over the world. The eyes of the fans.Wherever they go, they will set off turbulent waves, become the object of pursuit of thousands of people, and can make a country crazy about it.

This kind of influence is the realm that Evan Dalgety dreamed of.

After Twain left the Forest team, Evan Dougherty once reflected on why his team won so many championships, but their worldwide influence was not as good as Arsenal's.In the end, he thought that it was Tony Twain who caused the team to have few world superstars. Because the biggest star was himself, how could he allow others to steal his own glory?Whenever Evan hoped that the team would buy one or two influential stars in the transfer market, Twain always said that his team structure was perfect, and there was no need for those superstars to come in and ruin the team's locker room atmosphere. .Now that I think about how many opportunities he lost...

Looking at Real Madrid's crazy "grab" for money in Asia, Evan Dalgety can only sigh.What if they can't win the championship?People are rich and powerful!
The Forest team finally found their new captain, and Manchester United regained the league title lost for many years under the leadership of Jose Mourinho.Mourinho is also using his achievements to prove that he is not that poor Tony Twain. He is also a coach who can bring the team championships.

The European Champions Cup also came to an end in Milan, Italy. Real Madrid, which lost to Nottingham Forest last season, finally defeated Serie A giants Juventus at the San Siro Stadium and won their tenth European Champions Cup in history.

For this Champions League, the Real Madrid people waited for 13 years. From "nine" to "ten", they also completed the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change.The ten champions in the European Champions Cup, they have accomplished an unprecedented feat.

Now they are no longer the rich and powerful team without a championship in Evan Dougherty's mind, but a galaxy battleship with a championship and money.
