Don's life has taken two turns in just one and a half years, and this kind of drastic change is not comparable to the divorce of his parents in childhood. After a year and a half, he had long since stopped thinking about nonsense questions like "who am I", "where am I from", "where am I going", and he felt that he had nothing to lose by going to China for some reason.

That's right, he loves football, and that used to be all he had. But compared to having a warm home, football is not something that cannot be abandoned.

He even thought it was good, he should have been this ordinary person born in the Chinese countryside. And before that, there must have been something wrong with God who put him in England. He didn't like it there...... All. What did his son in England leave him? Nightmare.

So he decided to leave everything in the UK behind and start a new life in China. I am Tang, Chinese Tang, I am not British Tony . Donn, his past, present, and future have nothing to do with me!

This happened until he and Don inadvertently met on the streets of Chengdu.

Can this be called "fate"?

Now he was sitting in the chairman's office at Nottingham Forest, silently watching Donn and Evan arguing over him. He didn't care about the content or outcome of their argument, but looked at the furnishings in the room.

Here he remembers very well, Paul. Hart, his teacher when he was about to leave the Forest team, asked the club president Nigel. Mr. Dogetty recommended himself. The proposal was not opposed by the board, so he, a young coach trained by the Forest team themselves, became the caretaker manager of Nottingham Forest.

It's just that his managerial career lasted only half a game before it came to an end.

In his daily chats with him, he also learned how Donn of Nottingham Forest had done after him.

Now that there are a lot of new facilities in this room that he couldn't see before, it seems that the history of the century-old team is much less heavy and more modern.

The original chairman, Nigel. Dogetty also left because of his physical willingness, and the current Forest team feels a little strange to him. Like this new chairman, he looks very casual in front of Don and doesn't want Nigel. Mr. Dogetty is so serious.

Now he was sitting in the corner of the table, and he just kept shaking his head in the face of Donn's gushing statements.

"Tony. I know you're a bit out of the ordinary, but you're playing too big this time...... You put someone who has never coached before, who has never been exposed to professional football, and who is still studying to prepare for the England coaching license to be an assistant coach of the Forest team!? Nottingham Forest are now a Premier League team, so you can't play like that. ”

"You think I'm playing? Evan. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would play on this? That's right, I'll admit that Don doesn't have anything yet, but we can give him a chance to prove himself, it won't take much time......"

"Tony!" Evan raised his voice slightly, "Use the results of the first team to prove to a newcomer that we are promoted and we still have the luxury to this extent!" ”

Seeing Evan's rare face, Don was stunned for a moment, and then pouted: "You said that the team is under my control." ”

Evan sighed, "Tony. I don't know how you know that Chinese......" He glanced at Don, and found that the man's attention was not on his conversation with Don, and he didn't have the nervousness and anxiety of ordinary people at such a time. “…… Well, maybe he has something to do with that beautiful Chinese teacher of yours. If you're going to give him a place in the club, there's no problem. You can ask him to work as a turf builder, an equipment manager, a restaurant waiter...... Something, but not an assistant coach in the first team. That's a great location......"

"If you know the location is important, why did you agree to let Walker go in the first place?" Don snorted.

"Uh......" Evan didn't know what to say, he scratched his head, then jumped off the table and turned to the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind his seat, looking at the busy training ground below, where the workers were hurrying to prepare for the upcoming training camp. Tony, it's my problem to let Walker go. At that time, I didn't know a lot about the team, and I thought that as long as the team had a good manager, everything would be solved...... My dad also told me how important it is to have a good assistant coach in a team. Because I know now, he can't be an assistant coach of the team......"

Don looked at Evan and didn't say a word, just looked at him like that, Evan looked at Don in the eyes and added, "Maybe he can in the future...... But not now. Whether he's capable or not, find another one, Tony. ”

The two looked at each other for a while, and then Don shook his head and poured bitter water: "I spent a summer from China to find the most suitable assistant coach for the team, and you now tell me that the club does not agree to this personnel appointment, and then let me change someone...... Evan, do you know what time it is now? The day after tomorrow, the team will start the pre-season training camp, and all plans must be worked out at that time, with temporary substitutions...... How to solve the problem of team familiarization? ”

Evan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "You can tune from within the team. I remember you also rose from the position of youth team director to the first team manager......"

The fish took the bait.

"You mean to let me go to David. Chris Lack? We've worked together at youth for a long time and he knows the team very well...... "Donn muses.

Hearing him say this, Evan nodded beside him, "You're smart, Tony." That's what I mean...... Isn't Walker also from our Forest team? Why do you have to go outside to find an assistant coach? ”

Don turned his head to look at Don, who was still looking around the office, and made a pensive look. "Chris Rac came to the first team to be my assistant, so who is in charge of the youth team? Evan, you have to know that youth training is the most important tradition for the Forest team. ”

"It's not a problem, we can promote a coach from the youth team coaches......

Donn shook his head and rejected Evan's offer: "I've been in the youth team for a long time, and I know my colleagues very well, and they all have a good level. But to put them in charge of the youth team, I don't think it's good for them to play to their strengths. It's a euphemism, and to put it bluntly, Donn told Evan that the youth coaches would do well when they put them in charge of a particular training session, but because they wanted them to be youth team directors - no way.

"This ......" Donn had worked with those people, and if he said that those people couldn't, it would certainly be more convincing than Evan had assumed. Evan ran out of ideas for a moment.

Donn felt it was time to throw out his true purpose: "Well, we seem to be ignoring one person. He looked at Don sitting on the couch and said.

"The twenty-five-year-old Chinese?" Evan frowned.

"Are you going to exercise your veto again, Evan?"

"Uh, Tony. You know better than I am, he can't coach our youth team without a coaching certificate, the FA won't agree to it......"

"He'll have it right away, albeit at the lowest level." Don shrugged, "You know, Evan, there's a proverb...... No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a meat ......"

"Where's this proverb?" Evan. Dogotti thought the proverb sounded fresh.

"Hell knows, maybe...... Uh, a proverb from a country I've traveled to...... Well, that's not the point. The key point is that we now have to decide on a youth team manager. After Chris Rac was transferred to the first team. I definitely won't let the first-team coach go to the youth team as a manager, and the youth team coaching team doesn't want to move. ”

Evan nodded, "I see what you mean, Tony." But have you ever wondered if it would be appropriate for Tang, your Chinese friend, to be the head coach of the youth team? ”

Don hadn't thought of this question before, because he was also the head coach of the youth team and the first team at a young age, and he got along well with the coaches of the coaching staff, and he didn't encounter any situations that disconvinced him. But his situation is indeed different from Don, and he can be accepted by other colleagues as soon as he takes the position, because of his previous person, Don, who has been in the Forest team for seven years and has risen step by step. And Don is now a newcomer with nothing, a blank slate, why should he go to the youth team to be the head coach?

Don found that he was thinking too simply, and he knew Don's ability, so did others believe it?

Evan trusts himself very much, and if he can't believe what he says about Donde, then don't expect others to believe it.

He suddenly felt that it was a very stupid thing for him to invite Don back to Nottingham on the spur of the moment. Not only did they lose their jobs, but they also might face the fate of being sent back.

Just when Don was a little depressed for a while, Don, who had been sitting on the sofa and was silent, stood up like an outsider. "I can start as a coach at the very beginning, Mr. President."

Hearing him say this, Evan looked at Don, and Don looked at Don to see what the man was thinking. Originally, he was brought to England to be an assistant coach for himself, and Done believes that they must be able to work well together, because they both have each other's flavor, they know what each other is thinking, and this tacit understanding is innate. Now, what's the point of Don going to be a general coach of the youth team?

But he didn't see the answer to this question from Don's face.
