Ibisevic is fully integrated into the team, he has no problem with his words, and now once he scores, his confidence is restored. He often jokes with his team-mates in training and in the dressing room, or tells everyone about his life of "upheaval...... The popularity is very good.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Don bought him - Ibisevic is definitely not the kind of player who will ruin the atmosphere in the dressing room, on the contrary, he plays a very important role in the cohesion of the team. When he was at Hoffenheim, although he was not yet a regular player, he helped the other two direct rivals, Obsi and Demba Ba, to integrate into life in Germany, and his selfless helping surname allowed him to not be abandoned by the team even though he scored only five goals in 35 appearances in his first season at Hoffenheim.

Now, this is a good thing that he has in the team, and Nottingham Forest, who have a better atmosphere in the team.

Donn also wants the team to have as many pistachios as possible.

With Ibisevic's problem solved, Don now has to think about how to solve Matthias. Fernandez's question......

This is much more troublesome than Ibisevic's problem.

First of all, Fernandez's English has been slow to improve, and he is more of an invisible man in the team's dressing room. In fact, he is not the kind of person with an introverted surname, but since he does not understand and cannot speak English, he simply chooses to keep his mouth shut and never participates in the conversations of his teammates. This gives him the impression of being "very unsociable" and "not easy to get along with".

His teammates also distanced themselves from him, consciously or unconsciously.

This further led to him not being supported by the team on the field.

Donn feels that if he doesn't address the issue, Fernandez may have to seriously consider whether his move to the UK is a good fit. Perhaps he thought about it and found that Britain had neither Spanish food, nor Spanish blue skies and sunshine, and decided that he must have chosen to move to Nottingham Forest on impulse. At that time, the whole mind is probably how to escape from this rainy country......

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

But a simple conversation that needs to be done with the help of a translator due to the language barrier may not be as effective as Ibisevic's. The more important reason is that you can't rely on talking every time to solve a problem. After all, not everything can be solved by a single conversation.

So I had to think of something else......

※※※

After finishing his shot with Donn by his side, George. Wood walked briskly to the locker room, he was now sweaty and just wanted to get a shower, change his clothes, and go home to be with his mom.

When he walked to the door of the dressing room, he spotted the team's head coach, Tony. Don was standing there, smiling and waving to himself, "Hi, George! It's a pleasure to meet you! ”

"You can see me every day." As soon as Wood saw Don smile so brightly, he reflexively felt that it was not a good thing, and he was on guard first.

"Haha!" Don touched his nose and laughed dryly. "What's that...... When did you die? ”

"April 1st. Don't you know? ”

"Uh......" Of course Tang En knew, how could he not remember the birth of his most proud disciple? What's more, this is so easy to remember - April Fool's Day! However, he asked for something else...... "Can I ask you to have another life in two days?" ”

Wood's eyes widened, and he heard something strange: "My birthday for the year is over. My mom gave me ......"

Tang En nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know." Actually, I just want you to be the convener and gather your teammates to your house for a little dinner......" he rubbed his hands together and smiled wider. "You can drink wine and eat meat, but you are not allowed to look for a girl, you can bring your girlfriend and wife...... I allow you to play until half past twelve at the latest. The next day's training I will agree that you will be an hour late, what do you think? ”

Wood no longer looks at Don with normal eyes, he has to look at aliens with his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that......" Donn waved his hand and shook his head, "Well, I'm telling the truth. Don't you think Matthias has been in a bad situation all along? ”

"Chileans?" Wood thought for a moment, then shook his head. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Fernandez.

"That's because you don't know what he used to be like." "Actually, he wasn't always so gloomy. He can also be gregarious and cheerful, but we have to create that for him. I think it's a good idea to get people together and have fun. You're the captain, and there's more to the captain's job than just leading his teammates to the game, George. ”

Wood thought about it seriously, then frowned: "But my life is indeed over, and they all know that this can't be hidden from anyone." ”

He is telling the truth. The truth of the banquet is known to a few people. There was no need to explain to them why the captain's birthday had not been taken on the first of April, but on the nineteenth of September. Fernández's problem is well known.

He couldn't let Matthias know what he was doing, he didn't want to put any more pressure on the Chilean. He wanted Fernandez to think it was a simple feast, and through this feast, he began to take the first step towards drinking with his strange teammates, and they welcomed him very warmly, and then he found that the team was so cute and amazing, so the bad weather and food in England didn't matter at all! He loved Nottingham Forest, he loved every plant and tree here, and he decided to swear allegiance to ......

But with George. Wood's approach to life doesn't work anymore. So what excuses should you make?

The two of them sat at the door of the locker room, meditating.

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

"Ah, that's it......" Don saw his partner coming, and told Don everything about it.

Don thought it was strange: "What's there to worry about?" Didn't George just renew his contract with the club? ”

At this point, Don already understood. "Ha, that's a great idea!" He clapped his hands and laughed, "George, let's gather everyone in this name and have a lively party!" ”

Wood didn't have any objections, although he felt it was a bit ...... to have a big party to celebrate just because he had renewed his contract It's not low-key enough, but it's much more normal than postponing your 24-year-old birth on September 22, or your 25-year-old birth earlier.

※※※

September 22 is the date chosen by Donn, and this day is in the middle of the week, with neither the Champions League group stage to play nor the league to deal with, it is a good time to relax and have fun. And God is very face-giving, from the morning it has been sunny until the evening.

"The weather forecast says it won't rain tonight." Don was in the car and said to Don, who was sitting next to him, with a sigh of relief.

Tang frowned: "They are partying, why are we coming?" What's more, you said during the day that you wouldn't be attending this party, just so that everyone could let go of the fun......"

George. Wood announced his decision to hold a party in his back garden the day before, hoping that everyone would come and cheer. At first, Eastwood heard that it was Wood's private party and wanted to refuse, but was persuaded by Bell and Lennon to decide not to give Wood face, but to give everyone face - because almost everyone in the team who was okay went.

At this time, according to the written "script", Wood pretended to invite Don and Don and Chris Rac to participate.

Chrislac, the rectum, was so happy that he opened his mouth to say yes. Don suddenly coughed next to him, interrupting his attempt to speak, and then Don didn't give Chris Rac time to react, and "politely declined" Wood's kindness by hiding his ears from Thunderbolt. He said that as coaches, appearing on such an occasion would make everyone unhappy, so a few of us won't go! You can play boldly, have fun, and have fun! Tomorrow's training will allow you to be an hour late!

The players cheered with joy when they heard Donn say that they could be an hour late for training the next day. Even if this matter is settled, everyone is happy. Only Chrislak smacked his lips on the sidelines, looking a little frustrated - he actually wanted to go, but who cares how he feels?

In this way, the whole Nottingham Forest team went home to change their clothes after training, and then went to captain George. Meet at Wood's house.

Donn's white jeep was parked in a dark corner of the corner street lamp that was out of sight, unobtrusive. Nottingham Forest's No.1 and No.2 are sitting in the two dark cars at this moment.

"Stupid, I said we weren't going, it was just a nice scene. If I don't come, why should I go to the trouble of organizing this event for them? Don refuted Don's ignorance.

'You can totally hear how Wood and the rest of the players react to this party tomorrow.' Don dismisses Done's claims.

"As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing." Don shook his finger, then pulled open the door, lifted a black backpack from the back seat, and beckoned to Don.

Tang reluctantly followed and got out of the car, what he actually couldn't understand the most was why he had to follow this kind of thing?

"I got them a South American band, and when the time comes, sing them 'Song of the Eagles' (el_condor_pasa)! This is the real soundtrack, not Paul. Simon's adaptation into English! He will definitely succeed in mobilizing Matthias's emotions and allowing him to find a native voice in distant England! On the way to Wood's house, Don excitedly told Don about his "clever arrangement."

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

"Peru?" Don was a little surprised, he really didn't pay attention, but ...... "Whatever!" Isn't Peru Chile next to each other? It's all the same! South Americans can sing and dance, and I believe that with good wine and music, Matthias's emotions will be aroused. Chinese pay attention to drinking wine and doing things, this is the truth, and it is true everywhere! Ha! Don smirked.

Don was not interested in his lofty remarks, he kept his head down and was silent, just walking.

※※※

Now that it has been said that the coaches will not attend this party that belongs entirely to the players, it is certainly impossible for Don and Don to ring the doorbell in front of the door and walk in openly.

To put it bluntly, this time Don and Don are here to peep. It's understandable why Don was so disgusted by this...... He felt a lot like a voyeur.

Don and Don are no strangers to the surroundings of the Wood family, and they come at least once a year.

Initially, the mother and son lived in an apartment that the club offered rent. Then Wood moved again, still not far from Wilford, but in a better place – with no one to disturb him. Close to the Trent River, fresh air and the house surrounded by lush greenery, perfect for Sophia to recuperate.

There were many large trees around Wood's house, some of which were just outside the garden behind his house, and the dense branches would reach into the garden, leaving a shade in the summer. The destination of Donn's trip was the stout trees.

Tang En took Don without saying a word to go around the courtyard for most of the time and finally locked on the target, but when he looked up, he found a person lying on his stomach in the dark! This discovery startled him. After he saw who it was, he whispered angrily, "You really think you're James." Bond, Mr. Bruce? ”

Pierce. Bruce was so frightened that he almost fell off the tree. He turned his head to look down, just in time for Donn to be eye to eye.

"Get down!" Don pointed hard at his feet. "Otherwise, I'll call the police, Mr. Reporter!"

Tony. Don bumps into him, and Bruce has no choice but to admit himself unlucky. He swooped down from the tree with a sad face, still justifying himself: "I just went up and didn't see anything......"

"Why are you here?" Don didn't listen to his arguments.

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

Don smiled: "What a good reporter who is dedicated." But where did you hear this from? ”

Bruce pursed his lips and shook his head.

"You're really righteous!"

If Donn knew who told Bruce the news, he wouldn't fire that person, but a criticism would certainly be indispensable. For the sake of himself and for the sake of the "informant", Bruce was right to choose silence.

Don no longer pays attention to Bruce, he doesn't care at all about who gives Bruce news, anyway, everyone knows that Bruce is the team's "queen reporter", so it doesn't hurt to reveal some painless "inside information" to him. He began to carry the backpack he was carrying on his back and began to warm up.

"But Mr. Donne...... And Mr. Tang, why are you here? That's when Bruce realized something wasn't right — he had met the team's top two men outside Wood's house at the same time.

Don first spat at his hands before replying, "Do what you did!" With that, he kicked up the tree with both feet......

Then Bruce watched dumbfounded as Don climbed up the tree with his hands and feet, and lay on the branch he had just laid. After settling himself, he beckoned to Don below, "This is a good position, Don." The scenery is very good. ”

Tang clasped his hands to his chest and stood in place to refuse Tang En's warm invitation: "I don't want it." ”

Don shrugged his shoulders in the tree, and no longer persuading, he pulled out an object 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 by Donn's gesture and where the thing was placed, it should have been a pair of telescopes......

"They don't have a call, it's all their girlfriends or wives...... Bruce feels compelled to do justice to the players on his team. Looking at this posture, Donn obviously intends to follow Ferguson's example and arrest the current situation, and is now collecting evidence.

"Shut up! Come up if you want to see it! Don kept his eyes off the binoculars.

Illuminated by small starry lights, a large garden is surrounded by an open-air swimming pool, and a lively party is getting into full swing. The guests were chatting and dining with great interest. A temporary wooden platform was erected near the corner of the room, on which a group of bands dressed in a South American style sang and cheered.

Don searched through the crowd, and he found his target.

Mathias. Fernández was intrigued by the South American-style band, and stood in front of the band with a wine glass in his hand. Due to the distance and the cacophony of voices, Donn couldn't hear what the band was singing, but he was satisfied with knowing that Fernandez was interested in it.

Liu Bang used embattled to break the morale of Xiang Yu's army, and he used it to help Fernandez find a familiar voice in distant Britain.

However, Fernández did not enjoy Peruvian folk songs for long, and Donn saw George. Wood took the initiative to come over and start a conversation with Fernandez.

Do they speak the same language? Don was taken aback for a moment, then reacted. Spanish and Portuguese also seem to be able to barely communicate......

Don in the tree, through the telescope, admiring George with interest. How Wood, a man of few words, had chatted with Fernandez—both of them had used a lot of body language, probably half guessing the other half to speak, but they could talk for minutes at the same time, and Don couldn't help but admire George.

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

Don knew that this was basically a success.

But he wasn't in a hurry to get down, he continued to watch.

Fernandez was busy greeting the ladies in the midst of his teammates, with more and more smiles on his face and less and less wine in his glass. In the end, he jumped on the stage, snatched the microphone from the lead singer of the band, and started singing!

Seeing this, Donn laughed out loud in the tree, which caused him to almost fall off it.

Seeing this, he finally completely relieved his mind and slipped off it.

Don was still standing below waiting for him, and Bruce, who was lying on another branch, saw Don coming down and slid down with him. Actually, he still doesn't know what's going on - it seems that George is hosting this party normally, they didn't spend tens of thousands of pounds to invite countless girls to come here for his teammates to 3p, 4p, group p. The atmosphere was lively but not chaotic, and everyone played some small games to help the fun, but it had something to do with football, such as who could kick a certain goal in the game. They made a bet on it, but it was supposed to be a small bet, and Don wouldn't object to it. What puzzled him even more was that when Fernandez ran up to sing, Don suddenly laughed.

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

Just when he was confused, Don had already walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Bond, you came at the right time. You've had the privilege of getting the scoop out of any other media out of the window—I'll allow you to write down what you've seen tonight and put it in the newspaper—and of course, don't write about my presence here. ”

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

"I think it won't be long before you find out, Mr. Reporter. If you're confident in your IQ, you might as well guess too, haha! He patted Bruce and told Don to leave.

Pierce. Bruce tilted his head and scratched, then frowned again at George. In the direction of Wood's yard, where the lights are bright and the party is in full swing.

※※※

"Hey, Don. I really didn't expect that Chilean to sing, and it's a big loss that you didn't go up to see this scene! On the way back to the parking lot, Don frowned and told Don all the interesting things he had seen. He looks like a microphone in KTV! I don't see any musical energy in him......"

"So, things are going well, aren't they?"

"Ah, it went well. I'd love to hear Matthias sing...... No, I've got an idea to have him sing in the locker room......"

"Actually, it's nothing to do with me, why do I have to come?" Tang was still haunted by the fact that Don had to pull himself in the first place.

"It's you who don't climb up to watch the show, if you climb up, you'll have your business, if you don't come up, of course you will run for nothing." Don puts all the blame on Don.

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

Donn scoffed at this statement, and he pouted: "What is a coach's way of doing things?" As long as you can achieve the goal, you can do anything. ”

"I think it should at least be a little more dignified...... Climbing trees to peep is not a good idea, and it would be too unimpressive to be caught. ”

"In front of them, of course, I am very dignified. But sometimes you need to use some shady little tricks to help you portray this 'very majestic' manager, Don. Don began to teach Don what he had learned over the years as a head coach – in fact, it was just one word: pretend!

"As long as Bruce doesn't say it, no one knows we're coming here tonight to peep. I'll of course ask George tomorrow how the party went, and I'll pretend to be interested in what they're talking about...... As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter what you do. The point is that Matthias is integrated into the team because of this, and it doesn't really matter that I acted like a paparazzi tonight. ”

Don realizes that he can't talk about Done, because it is—as long as Bruce doesn't say it, no one will know what they did tonight. And Bruce certainly wouldn't say that. His integrity can be seen from the fact that he refused to betray his inside information, and if the news of this matter leaked out, Donn would 100% know that it was Bruce who leaked it, and what would happen to King Villeford needless to say......

Although Tang felt that this was a bit deceptive, there seemed to be no other way.

Don smirked a little: "Don, being a head coach is actually a very interesting thing. Don't be a boss, just keep a face doesn't mean that you are very professional and majestic, it can only make others alienate you. Look at me! I thought it was fun and fun tonight, and it was just when we came out and relaxed for the night, no big deal! ”

He opened the door on the passenger side: "Let's go, I'll send you home!" ”

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

"Ha, you're right!" Don shamelessly took this as a compliment to him, and happily accepted it.

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

(To be continued)
