The next morning, before the start of the team's new day of training, Don called all the coaches of the team together for a meeting to discuss the tactical reform. Donn told the other coaches what he discussed with the two assistant coaches yesterday, and they were divided.

There is a perception that the Forest's previous tactics were successful and that there is no need to reform what has been successful. The defeat to Fulham was just an accident and a defeat in one game cannot be used as a reference. Others think that of course the change must be changed, but not now, after all, the team has just gone through a period of turmoil, and stability is the theme.

For these objections, Don naturally took them into account. He didn't use his position as the head of the athletic department to suppress his colleagues, he answered those questions one by one and explained his thoughts.

The loss of a game can be said to be accidental, but behind the accident must be inevitable, the appearance of every thing does not pop out of thin air for no reason, there must be a reason for its appearance, this is the so-called "existence is reasonable". Of course, the loss to Fulham was due to the pride of being the head coach Don and underestimating the enemy, but when Done was not underestimated, he realized that he did not crack another set of tactics of the opponent's tactics. Perhaps the next time they meet such an opponent, Don can make the team raise their vigilance, go all out, and rely on an overwhelming difference in strength to end the game. But what if you run into a team that is not much different from your own strength?

Sometimes, when we have to face it, we can't overcome it by being vigilant and going all out. The wisdom of the coach is not just used to remind everyone not to underestimate this.

As for the question of whether to change it now or later. Don thinks that since it is so turbulent now, he doesn't mind any more turbulence. That's what he thinks, and he'd rather let the bad things be huddled together. I don't want to come back and forth every once in a while. What's more, change does not necessarily have to be turbulent, there will definitely be small ups and downs, but as long as it is well controlled, it will not hurt the foundation of the team at all. It's just a tactical adjustment, not a squad purge.

Finally convinced everyone that everyone agreed that the team needed to change at the moment.

However, after discussing for a long time, how to reform it.

That's Donn's homework for the coaches.

"What we have is time, we can take our time, I'm not in a hurry." Donn said, "It's a big deal. In a hurry. I have a beautiful picture in my head right now, but I need everyone to work together to help me finish it! ”

The team's policy was decided. With a goal, things are easy to do. It's just a matter of how to achieve that goal.

Tang is a person with strong business ability, and with him, this kind of thing doesn't need Tang En to worry about. The team trained as usual every day, won a game and kept the morale of the guys high, the bad things were behind us and they believed the future was good. Even if the next game is against a strong team like Chelsea.

As for Donne, although the next game will be against Chelsea. But he didn't spend his days in the office studying his opponents. For Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, there is no need to specialize in it at all. It's not that Don is underestimated again, it's that this team is all too familiar to Donne, and I believe it is familiar to the rest of the opponents in the English League. Mourinho's insolent personality brought him career success at the same time. It also brings more attention. Everyone wants to beat this arrogant guy as much as they want to beat Tony. Done's team is the same. Another thing that sets Chelsea apart from Forest is that Chelsea are very, very rich. The hatred of the rich can be found everywhere. That's why every team is playing Chelsea. It's easy to see why Reading would be so crazy playing Chelsea in the world where Donn lived.

Downe's blessing, nothing came alive in the just-concluded Chelsea and Reading match, and Cech was very peaceful until the end of the game, and Chelsea won comfortably 3-1.

Instead of studying the opponent, Donn took the time to watch a reserve team game

George. After Wood's suspension, Donn put him on the reserves, ostensibly because Wood was impulsive and gave him a little punishment. In fact, it is so that he does not play and his form declines. He usually trains with the first team, and when it comes to the weekend when it comes time to play, he goes to the reserves.

Matches for the reserve team tend to be played a day earlier than the first team.

The day before the game against Chelsea, the squad had only trained for half a day. Don, who was fine in the afternoon, took Don to the City Stadium to watch this reserve team game.

In the first half of the game, Don Gen Wood was still honestly staying in the midfield position, doing his job ̄ ̄ defending.

In this game, the opponent of Forest Reserves is Chelsea Reserves.

At the reserve level, Forest are not as strong as Chelsea. However, thanks to Wood, there is little threat in the attack of Chelsea's development team.

But Don shook his head from the sidelines.

"It shouldn't be like this." He said to Don, who was standing next to him, "If Wood is to continue to do this kind of work, coming to the reserve team will not do anything at all......

"Are you going to tell McPalland?" Don pointed to the reserve coach who sat heavily in the coach's seat.

The two of them came to watch the game without telling the reserve coach or going straight to the dugout to watch the game, but chose the stands with a higher view.

There weren't many people who came to see the reserve team games, most of them were very, very hardcore fans. Don and Don stood in the corner of the stands, unobtrusive.

"To say, it's a waste of Wood's opportunity to exercise."

At half-time, Donn and Don walked out of the stands to the locker room, where he called out reserve coach McPalland.

"You're here, Tony?" McPalland didn't expect Donn to come back to watch this game because Donn didn't greet him in advance.

"Came to see the half." Donn nodded, "Ian, push George up a bit in the second half." Give him more opportunities to get involved in the attack. Then tell him that there is no need to defend. ”

Ian. McPalland was a little surprised: "Don't let him defend? ”

Don added on the side: "Tony wants to see how George does offensively. ”

McPalland understood, and he asked, "Will it be the same for the next three games?" ”

"Hmm."

"Well, I see. Uh, would you like to go in and say a few words? The reserve coach pointed to the locker room.

Don smiled and shook his head: "No need. Now you're the master here. ”

McPalland was pleased to hear Donn say this, and he warmly invited: "Then let's go to the dugout later, right?" ”

This time, it was Tang who shook his head and refused: "The view from the stands is also very good, thank you Ian." ”

"Go ahead, Ian." Don told him back to the locker room, and he and Don went back to the stadium stands.

This time, though, they were recognised by some fans in the stands. Everyone gathered around to get autographs. Tony. Don En is a well-deserved star, and there is nothing Tang doing here. He crept out on his own.

"I really want to know what Coach Tang thinks now......" Caught off guard, a woman's voice appeared behind him.

No need to look back. Don also knew who the person who made this voice was. Speaking Chinese, she is still a woman, who else is there besides Tang Jing.

"Why did Miss Tang come to see a reserve team game?" Don asked, turning his head.

Tang Jing stood in front of him and said with a smile: "Because you are here." ”

"How did you know we were here?"

"Because George. Wood is here. She gestured to the court below. Everyone on earth knows Tony. How much Coach Donn cares about his men. It was announced to the public that it was a punishment for George. Wood's impulse is actually afraid that he will not play in eight consecutive rounds and his form will decline, right? ”

"Now is not the time for an interview, Miss Tang."

"Can't you just talk?" Tang Jing spread his hands. "You see, I didn't bring anything. Proofreading, voice recorders, cameras, notebooks...... I bought a ticket to come in. She pulled a ticket out of her pocket and shook it.

In the face of this kind of stalker, Tang deliberately put on a cold face and couldn't scare her away. So he asked helplessly, "Why are you so curious about Donne?" ”

"Coach Don. No, I'm not interested in him. ”

Don looked up at her.

"I'm right to you." Tang Jing pointed at Tang, who was a little surprised, and smiled proudly.

Don decided to remain silent. It's a difficult topic to discuss.

Tang Jing was not deterred by Tang Di's silence, she continued: "Although it is said that the club has held a press conference for you to answer those questions that everyone is concerned about. But why do I still think things are not as simple as you say? An ordinary Chinese quickly became a member of the coaching staff of this team just because he met the English professional coach like a big luck on the Internet? I'm curious......"

"Curiosity kills cats." Tang En's voice suddenly sounded, which really scared Tang Jing's shoulders.

"Are you threatening me, Tony. Mr. Donn? Tang Jing, who reacted, was a little annoyed because of the tremor just now, and she frowned and asked.

Tang En smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, don't get me wrong, Miss Tang." This is not the gangster movie series "The Godfather". A woman's intuition is terrifying, isn't it? Don looked at Don and said. The fans around him have dispersed, and now there are just three of them.

Tang couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Tang En's gourd, so he was silent.

"You're right, Miss Tang. Tang, this person, does have a secret, and it is a big secret. Tang En said to Tang Jing mysteriously, "But this matter can't be publicized, you come here, I'll whisper to you." ”

Although it was strange that there was no one here at all, why did he still lean over, but curiosity prompted Tang Jing to obediently tilt his head to Tang En's mouth.

"Head & Shoulders......" Donn said with a deep breath.

"You!" Now that she was deceived, Tang Jing was annoyed and angry, and she jumped back suddenly.

Donne, the scoundrel, laughed even more happily: "I said curiosity kills cats. If I'm a hooligan, it's not as simple as sniffing it. Miss Tang is really a simple woman who easily trusts people......"

"Tony. Mr. Donn, please pay attention to your own image! Tang Jing's words were righteous and strict.

"Do I have any other image?" Don shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "You media don't say that I have horns on my head all the time. With a tail and wings on his back, sharp teeth, mean and vicious words, and a bastard demon without grace? ”

Tang Jing was stunned for a moment when she heard Tang En say this. "That'...... It's just the assessment of the English media, not my ......"

"Isn't your newspaper okay to reprint foreign reports all day long?"

"I haven't done that! Every word I write is typed out by my own hand! The questioning of her professional ethics is unbearable for Tang Jing. She was always in an environment of suspicion, and when she entered the newspaper office, she was privately believed by others to rely on her father's relationship to come to England for permanent residence. is also felt to be relying on my father...... In short, she relies on her father for everything, and her own efforts and talents are completely invisible to others.

"Tony. Mr. Donn. If you're angry at me for being rude when we first met, I can apologize to you! But so grudge. Do you still have the demeanor of a man? After Tang Jing angrily accused Tang En, he turned around angrily and walked away.

Don finally spoke next to him, "Hey, Tony...... Isn't that good? No matter how she says it, she is also a woman......"

Don glanced at him, "You should thank me, I helped you out." ”

"That's another thing......"

"Yo, can't stand it?" Donn asked rhetorically, "Feeling compassionate?" Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? ”

Tang was not as good as his opponent in terms of kung fu, so he chose to be silent.

"Hey. Tang Dynasty. You should also think about love, right? ”

Don remained silent.

"If you don't speak, I'll acquiesce to you. But it's nothing, as the saying goes, which girl doesn't have spring, which teenager doesn't miss spring...... Even though you're past the age of a teenager......"

"I'm gone, too." Tang was about to leave, but Tang En hurriedly grabbed him.

"Alright, alright. I'm not happy, I won't say it. But I really don't hold a grudge against her, it's just that every time I see her triumphant face, I really want to say a few words to her. Let her not be arrogant in front of me...... Hey, Don, do you think I'm a very dark person? ”

"What's the use of you telling me. You tell her to go......"

Don smiled at Don.

Don also noticed that he was a little out of shape, he coughed and stopped talking.

"Actually, the woman ...... If you're not arrogant, you're pretty attractive......" Don touched his chin and smacked his lips.

"The second half began." Tang reminded coldly.

Neither of them talked about these non-nutritious topics and focused on the game.

※※※

George. Wood was pushed to the front of midfield in the second half, basically equivalent to a midfielder.

McPalland won't let him defend, and he's a little uncomfortable in that position. I don't know what I should do or how I should do it.

Many times he couldn't help but drop back to get involved in the defense, but he was soon yelled at by McPalland.

After a period of ten minutes of maladaptation, George. Wood finally realized that he had nothing else to do but get involved in the offense.

As a result, Donn was happy to see Wood in the stands trying to pass the ball to his teammate in front. Although the first kick was intercepted by the opponent in the middle of the game due to the obvious intention of the pass, it was a good sign.

McPalland shouted again from the sidelines, making Wood's pass a little more hidden. The second time, Wood delivered the ball to the striker's feet accurately. Direct pass, directly tear through the defense line!

It's a pity that such a good pass was wasted by a teammate.

Down there looked as if Wood had shot the ball.

'He's got the ability to pass forward.' Don said beside him.

Don nodded, "You noticed it too?" Two of his assists last season were the kind of sudden forward passes in the middle. I think it would be very uncomfortable for him to go to the wing, some people are naturally suited to show on the side, and some people have to be in a wider space to be free. George is the post...... Demi was right, this kid has an offensive talent, but it's hidden so deep that not only us, but even himself. ”

In the following games, Wood passed more and more forwards, but due to the dense number of people in the middle and the obvious intention of passing, his success rate was not high.

But Donn didn't care about that, he saw that Wood dared to take the initiative to pass forward, and if the kid didn't have that kind of confidence himself, don't expect him to play to his potential. It's good to think that way.

That's what Don wants to see the most. He didn't expect to see Wood today directing the pace of the game like Pirlo and Redondo.

Before the game was over, Don and Don left. After seeing what they want to see, there is still a fierce battle waiting for them tomorrow.

"George!" McPalland called out to Wood. "Well done!" He gave a thumbs up to the captain of this first team.

Wood wasn't so pleased with his performance, he frowned, "I don't think it's that good......"

"As long as you're willing to move forward, that's progress, George." Wood is the epitome of the team's youth level, and coaches at all levels have taken great care of this talented player.

"Rome wasn't built in a day. Our future midfield all-rounder is not something that can be shaped in a single game. McPalland patted Wood proudly on the shoulder.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is a glorious future for Nottingham Forest on its shoulders.

It's like AC Milan has Maldini and Real Madrid has Raul. Gonzalez, Barcelona have Messi, Liverpool have Gerrard, and hopefully Nottingham Forest can play a role for George in the future. Wood and proud.

You're our banner, George.

Ian. McPalland didn't say that, but he did think so.
