Chapter 231: Call Me Chrissy (Part I)

Although it is said that Chris;; The filming schedule given by Gronia is very detailed, but it is actually very simple, it is impossible for a film crew of so many people to stay in the forest team for a long time, and Donn will not give them too much time. The shooting took place for only five days.

Gronia's plan was to shoot a few days of training and then shoot a game for Forest, so that the training and the game were all filmed.

The training part was all about those things, only the game made Gronia look forward to it, and the only thing she was worried about was ......

"The newspapers say your team is in trouble right now, Mr. Donn." Gronia took a copy of The Sun and flipped to the sports section.

Nottingham Forest have not won their last two league games, losing away to Everton in the 28th round of the league and drawing away to Manchester City in the 29th round, so there is such a voice in the media that the Forest team is not doing well.

Don scoffed at this.

"I don't think much of it, Miss Gronia. I think it's another way of proving that the Forest team is strong. ”

"Oh?" Gronia was intrigued by what Donn said.

"We just didn't win two league games and the media started shouting at Forest. Don't you think that just shows that they are used to seeing Forest win? ”

Gronia smiled, her eyes crooked into crescent moons.

The day's training was over, and the players came out of the locker room and walked to the parking lot. Their work is over. The members of the film crew were also busy packing up the machines, and their work for the day was over.

Gronia followed Donn to his office to discuss the day's game shoot, as it involved getting into the locker room to shoot.

"Alright, let's get down to business, Miss Gronia. Generally speaking, the team is absolutely not allowed to enter the dressing room. Not to mention the media that resists the camera. ”

Gronia nodded her head to indicate that she knew the routine.

"But what...... I used to put a big crowd of fans in the dressing room at half-time to help me teach the players, so it wasn't a big deal to put a bunch of media with cameras in there.

Don said as she sat down in her place, and Gronia sat on the couch opposite him and watched him. It's just that you can't shoot the whole thing, so I can only give you a few minutes. ”

Hearing Don say this, Gronia tilted her head, "A few minutes? Mr. Donn, this is too short, and the time is almost up by the time we set up the machine. ”

"You can go in early and set up the machine. In fact, the preparation time before a game and the half-time break itself are not long. You can't shoot anything even if you shoot it all over the city...... Besides, there are some things I can't say in front of the TV camera. ”

When filming training, although Donn said before that the club must cooperate throughout the whole process, in fact? Physical recovery training, physical training, technical training, etc., allow the film crew to shoot the whole process, and once it comes to tactical drills, the film crew must be invited out of the training ground.

So Gronia also knew.

"Okay. I understand, Mr. Donn. She sighed with feigned regret. It's a pity we couldn't get the best picture......"

"The most exciting?"

'I've heard a lot of stories about you yelling at your opponents in the dressing room to boost the morale of the players.

Tang En scratched his head: "Then I can't let you shoot, this is the ** story of the locker room." ”

Gronia raised her hands: "Yes, chief!" ”

These days, I follow the team to shoot and train. She also learned what the players called Donn.

Don was stunned for a moment when he heard Gronia suddenly call him that.

Looking at the look of surprise on Donn's face, Gronia laughed mischievously.

In the midst of laughter, Gronia stood up and walked over to Donn.

Stretched out her hand: "We're going to leave Nottingham after filming the day after tomorrow, I think at that time we were busy packing all kinds of equipment and luggage, and Mr. Donn, you definitely have to be with the team, everyone doesn't have much time."

So, I want to invite Mr. Don to have dinner with me tonight, I wonder if you have time, Mr. Donn? ”

Don looked up at Glonia, who was standing in front of him, what a beauty......

He looked down again at the small, white hand.

"Beautiful women invited. That's my pleasure. Don reached out and gently took Gronia's small hand.

Let Tang solve the dinner alone......

Although Gronia said that she was in for a treat, as a host, as a man, how could she let a woman guest be treated? So this meal is still Don En's please.

Since it was Don Eun who invited him, it was up to Don to decide where to eat. Don wasn't very interested in Western food, and if he was interested at first, he didn't have any ideas after eating it for a few more years.

Indian restaurants are popping up everywhere in Britain, but Donn hates Indian food. He couldn't stand the curry smell. Britain's own restaurants don't have much to eat in Donn's eyes. As for what kind of French dinner...... It's better to go to France and eat.

Of course, the most important point is that because Tang En crossed over from the Chinese. There is a preference for Chinese food. If you want to treat yourself, choose a Chinese restaurant. Although Chinese restaurants in Nottingham are expensive and not authentic, they are better than going to eat Indian food.

Anyway Chriss;; Gronia has never eaten authentic Chinese food, so she can't tell the difference between good and bad and authentic.

So Gronia had a great time eating, thinking that she had finally eaten the legendary food. Seeing this beautiful host's expression as satisfied as a little girl, Don En snickered in his heart.

Such "delicacies" can be made in China by almost every family...... Foreigners really don't know anything!

"I've read some of Mr. Tang's related materials, and it is said that Mr. Tangen likes Chinese culture very much, but I didn't expect you to know so much about Chinese food."

"I can also speak fluent Chinese...... But there's not much chance to say that here. ”

"Don't you have a Chinese player on your team...... Grandchild? ”

"Well, I never spoke Chinese to him.

"Don is telling the truth, since Sun Jihai came to the team, in the face of this Chinese player, whether it is arranging tactics in the team or chatting privately, he only speaks English, although both of them can speak Chinese, but they just don't need to.

There is only one situation in which Don doesn't speak English and speaks Chinese now, and that is when he goes home and talks to Tang. At first, Don wanted to come to England and should speak English, but Don told him to speak Chinese while the two of them were there.

Don felt that he had an oriental face, and then opened his mouth to speak it fluently in a non-native language, which made him a little unaccustomed.

Of course, as for whether Tang will think that whether he will not be used to speaking a non-native language as an old outsider, it is not within Tang's consideration......

"Why? If you can speak fluent Chinese, so will Sun, wouldn't it be more convenient to communicate that way? ”

"Of course, it's convenient. But it's not that Sun doesn't speak English, and it's not that he doesn't understand it.

In this case, I don't have to be an interpreter in the dressing room, everyone speaks English, whether it's Spaniards, French, Italians, the first thing I do when I come to Nottingham Forest is to learn the language, if I talk to Sun and I in Chinese, it will give people the illusion that 'he is not part of this team', which is not good.

Different languages are the main cause of communication barriers, and I don't want people to think that Chinese player Sun Jihai is a special one, the one who doesn't fit in with the team. Don shrugged.

'He's a Nottingham Forest player, it doesn't matter what his nationality or language is.

Hearing this, Gronia was silent for a while.

Seeing that he was a little cold, Donn decided to liven up the atmosphere by telling a joke: "Speaking of the language and nationality of the players, I have a joke in mind, do you want to listen to it, Miss Gronia. ”

Gronia withdrew her pensive gaze and smiled and nodded.

'We all know that Roman Abramovich's arrival at Chelsea has brought a lot of money to the club, allowing them to buy the best players in the world – whenever they want.

But in fact, before the Russian billionaire, Chelsea were a well-known multinational force in the Premier League, when Ruud Gullit set a record when he was in charge of the team - there was not a single English player in the starting eleven.

Donn told it in a serious way, and from now on, the joke wasn't funny at all, and it was more like he was telling Gronia a piece of football history.

'Then Chelsea came in with a new manager, Italian Claudio Ranieri, a coach who has been successful in both Spain and Italy, the Italian.

When he took over, the first problem he had to face was not the tactics, the line-up, the transfers, but the language.

Because Chelsea had too many foreign players, the media at that time laughed at Ranieri's poor English: when he wanted to explain the tactics to the main players, he usually told the assistant coach Wilkinson, who first told the English players in the team in English, and then Ranieri himself spoke to Zola in Italian, and then again in Spanish to the Spanish players, Argentine players and Uruguayan players.

As for the French players, Ranieri first told Desailly in Italian, and then the Frenchman who had played in Italy repeated it to his compatriots...... We have to say the same sentence many times, and no one knows what it will mean in the end...... Have you played that game, Miss Gronia? ”
