Although in the Nottingham Forest team, Joe. Mattok was his replacement, but the little monkey envied him. Because the substitute left-back was able to get up close and personal with the head, listen to him in the dressing room, joke with him and play under him.

For Gareth. For Bale, these may be things he will never get in the future.

In Nottingham Forest, which Downe single-handedly built, there are many players who have a good relationship with Downe. But there aren't many relationships that are so good that they go beyond the boundaries of ordinary coaches and players. Gareth. Bell is one of them. For him, he can play professional football, he can win so many championships, he can become the world-famous left-back, and he can be Toney. Don about.

If it weren't for the leader who went to Southampton on a whim, he wouldn't have met his father, and there would have been no later series of stories. For Bell, the head has the grace of knowing. In China, "the soldier dies for his confidant", although the British do not have this idiom, but they also understand this truth.

For a professional footballer, meeting a manager who knows and likes him is simply the greatest happiness in his career.

He was happy for eleven years.

When the Forest internationals returned to the team, Bale was so happy to hear that Wood had reconciled with the leader, so he pestered Wood all day long, asking him to talk about his time in the England national team, but mainly about the leader. Wood wouldn't tell him, so he went to someone else.

Bentley was annoyed by him, so he took up the "national interest" as a shield.

"The next one is against you, little monkey. Do you want to find out the secrets of our tactics? ”

"Who is rare?" "Does England have any secrets for us Welshmen?" said proudly, "Is England still a secret to us Welshmen?" I just want to know how the boss dealt with those reporters. ”

"I didn't go to the press conference, how do I know? Ask Gerald! ”

"You should have heard some rumors or something, right?"

"Oh, you're so annoying, little monkey! When you were asked to choose England, you didn't do it, you had to go to Wales. I can't even play the European Championship......"

"You have to take care of it!" Bell glared at Bentley fiercely, turned his head and walked away.

Bentley touched the back of his head, looked at Bell's back as he walked away, and muttered to himself with some confusion: "Did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Tony. Donn is gone, and the England internationals have a chance to reunite with him in the national team. And what about yourself?

Bale has not regretted his choice to play for Wales, but he would love Done to coach Wales......

He'd love to be like Pepe and give him a hug after meeting him in the ring. But the game a week later was definitely not going to work. It was a nation-to-nation game and he represented Wales, not him personally.

So he will do his best to help his team beat England in this game.

He'd love to go to a world competition......

※※※

England's away game against Wales is the third round of European Championship qualifiers and England's second game of the tournament.

Wales have never been a strong team, and even in the years when Ryan Giggs was at his peak, they could not compete with the European powers. So the English did not take this neighbor to heart. They are all talking about the next game, which is to take on Serbia away on October 20. That's an uphill battle.

Unlike Macedonia, Donn did not shy away from talking about this opponent, instead he mentioned several Welsh players in interviews, with Wales' main left-back Gareth highlighted. Bel.

“…… I coached Bale and it was a great memory. I know his characteristics and I know the characteristics of Wales. After all, they have a lot of them playing in the Premier League and I can watch them up close. This is not the same as Macedonia. Bale is a good player, that was a problem when I played under him. He's done a great job in Wales as well, and he's done the whole of Wales on the left. We'll find a way to keep an eye on his ......."

Donn then recalled a lot of details about his time with Bale at Forest.

Looks like a heartwarming scene, right?

But Bell's mind was clear, and he knew that the boss was fighting psychological warfare again. What did he want to do when he mentioned the old days? Don't you just want to disturb my mood?

Bell doesn't eat this set.

While he had not yet reported to the Welsh national team, he spoke to reporters at Wilford in front of the media, who wanted to hear what he had to say about the mentor.

"Even though Flores is my current manager, the eleven years I've been with Don have been really enjoyable. But that won't be an obstacle next week. I'm going to give it my all to win, because he taught us – no matter what the situation, we have to go all out. I will prove that I have not forgotten this. ”

Bell said it seriously, with no playful expression on his face.

Bentley watched him being interviewed and muttered, "Something hasn't been right since that day...... Am I stimulated? "Bell hasn't spoken to him since that incident.

"You idiot!" Mattok patted him on the head next to him, "It's a pain in Gareth's heart that he hasn't competed in the World Series, and you have to expose his scars." ”

"I'm annoyed by him......" Bentley thought about it now, and felt that his words were a little heavier at the time.

"I understand how much you miss your boss, but ......" Gago's sudden appearance behind them startled the two of them.

"But what?" Bentley asked.

Gage frowned: "The little monkey talks a lot about how good the boss is in front of the media, and he won't forget the leader's teachings." What would it be like for you to say that the voice reached Mr. Flores' ears? ”

The other two looked at each other, and both felt that it was really inappropriate for Bell to say this.

They looked over there, and Bale was still talking about his expectations for the game in front of reporters.

※※※

In the last round of the league before the national team match, Gareth. Bale was on the bench and it was Joe who started in his place. Mattok.

Flores' explanation for this was "the normal rotation of the team". But with a two-week league break coming soon, what does he rotate at this time? Rotate the national team? Since then, when did the club's head coach be so considerate of the work of the national team manager? The media are not fools. It's okay if the Forest team wins this game, but if they lose, the reporters have prepared a truckload of questions to bomb Flores, a foreigner who has not yet learned to speak English.

Perhaps only Flores, and the Nottingham Forest players, understood why the main left-back, who had been playing consistently, was suddenly on the bench.

Eliminate Tony. Donn's influence sometimes requires a bit of a strong hand.

Bell sat silently on the bench, the TV camera sweeping over him a few times. He seemed preoccupied.

Perhaps after this game, the news of his conflict with the manager will be widely reported. Who made him openly express his nostalgia and love for his former head coach in an interview? Isn't this a clear indication of not giving face to the current manager?

While Bale was on the bench, his side were leading 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium by Arsenal.

Joe. After all, Mattok is not far behind Bale in terms of individual ability, and Arsenal have made him a key target here, with one of the two goals coming directly from this wing and the other indirectly.

Tony. Donn and Des. Walker watched the game from the grandstand box at the Emirates Stadium as they examined the performance of the two teams of Chinese footballers. In fact, he also wanted to see how Bale performed and whether he had been affected by his previous remarks. I didn't expect Flores to give face, and Bell didn't do it at all.

"Stupid." A disgruntled Donn complained, "It's killing himself to do this in a game like Arsenal. ”

"Didn't you declare that you didn't care what happened to Nottingham Forest?" Walker quipped.

"I'm worried that Flores is doing this and messing up my internationals. He can do it to Bell today, and who knows if he will target Wood, Bentley, Mitchel and them in the future? ”

Walker also felt that Donn was right, and he was silent.

George. Wood scored a goal from a long-range strike near the end of the pitch, but it was only a face-saving goal for Forest. Arsenal comfortably beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at home in a second consecutive defeat in Flores' side.

"Bentley didn't play well either...... It's a far ...... compared to Walcott," and after the game, Donn stood up and said to Walker, "If nothing else, Bentley won't start against Wales." ”

"Mattok is still poor in terms of ability, and his name should not be in the squad this time."

He commented on the performance of those on the watch list.

"Wilshere is great, maybe I should consider giving him a chance?"

"There are only four people in the midfield, how do you arrange it?" Walker asked.

"Gerrard is on the bench." Don replied casually.

"Aren't you afraid that the Liverpool media will tear you apart?" Walker laughed.

"I'm only responsible for the team, the media? Who cares what they think. Don turned and walked out. Besides, Gerrard's performance in this round of the league was very average, and I think it makes sense to start Wilshere, who is doing better. And Wood was also outstanding in this game, and if he were to score after the game, he should be the highest scorer in the whole of Nottingham Forest. ”

'George is at the heart of who we are now, he is what Steven Gerrard was to England a few years ago. Donn told Walker, "A midfielder who is both offensive and defensive, is in good form and rarely gets injured. If I don't have him as the core, then something must be wrong with my head. ”

He walked out, Walker following closely.

Beneath the stands, Flores was shaking hands with Arsene Wenger, a reluctant smile on his face. Reporters surrounded him and filmed non-stop, and some even threw out questions without waiting for the press conference: "Mr. Flores, can you explain why you didn't go to Gareth." Bell? He hasn't had any injuries and is in solid form......

Flores pretended not to hear and walked straight down the hallway.

※※※

The next day, Gareth appeared in the newspapers and on the Internet. News of Bell and Flores' feud. The accompanying picture shows Flores anxiously directing the game on the sidelines and Bale sitting on the bench behind him in a daze.

But the reporters received no further information, and they could not interview Bell. Because Bale has left Wilford and returned to Cardiff. He had always lived in Nottingham, but Cardiff was actually his home.

As the current number one star of the Welsh national team, Eastwood has been one of the most high-profile players in Wales since his early retirement due to injury. At the door of his house, he was blocked by reporters again, hoping that he would respond to the recent rumors in the media.

A fool would say he had a conflict with the manager, unless he was determined to leave.

Bale denied that he had any contradictions with Flores, and as for why he didn't get even a minute of playing against Arsenal, he had this to say: "...... I'm in good shape and I'm not in good shape and I'll show that in the national team. However, Flores said he wanted to rotate, so I accepted his offer. That's it. I don't think it's as complicated as you think. ”

No reporter would have believed him. They are waiting to gather new evidence and be sure to bring the feud in the Nottingham Forest dressing room to light!

Wales manager John. Toshak stepped up to support his main player: "I don't know why he was rotated alone, but I'm glad Bale got a precious rest. This is good news for us against England. I think Bale is the best left-back in the world and this time we're going to Spain for the European Championships. England? They know us well and we know them well. I already have the tactical ...... to contain their 'double German' midfield."

Toshak is confident, Gareth. Bell is also full of fighting spirit, and must prove in front of his mentor that his original teachings are still in his heart.

It seems that England's trip to Wales will not be smooth sailing?
