Tony? Donn's words made George? Wood is once again on the cover. Some media have put the big hat of "the most valuable player in the world" on Wood's head, and of course, more media have nicknamed Wood "Mr. Two Trillion".

In the eyes of outsiders, after this press conference, regardless of Tony? One thing is certain whether Donn's words are true or false - George? Wood is indeed not for sale at Nottingham Forest.

Is there anyone in the world who can afford to be worth two trillion now? A player is almost the same as a country...... Since no one can afford this price, what is it that is not for sale?

Because of this background, Nottingham Forest's performance at home against Newcastle in the 22nd round of the league on January 5 has attracted much attention. Everyone wants to see if the performance of "Mr. Two Trillion" is worthy of his "worth", and they also want to see George? Will Wood be crushed by this pressure - some have criticized Donn for being irresponsible to his players, and asked if he has considered giving a young player the "world's No. 1 value" hat out of thin air, which would hurt him, after all, this kind of pressure is not something ordinary people can bear.

But Don didn't care about this kind of thing at all, and he knew that Wood didn't care about anything like "the world's first worth" or "two trillion". If it were a different player, he probably wouldn't have said that at the press conference, but George? Wood is different, this kid's psychological quality is better than that of his peers.

This match with Newcastle is also the first time that Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has played for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, and the goalkeeper also has problems with the team, mainly defensively. But Van der Sar is very experienced and he can minimise the ill effects of this run-in. Donn bought a world-class goalkeeper, apparently not to keep him on the bench, and the conditions did not allow him to continue to run in with the team on the training pitch.

Wearing the number 33 shirt, Van der Sar stepped onto the pitch and began the final performance of his career.

Donne's work to revamp Forest's defence continues, with Newcastle coming in on the road but they were aiming for the three points. For a home defeat to Tony? Done, Souness has always been obsessed, he fielded the strongest team on the road, but the result?

0：0。

The new goalkeeper and Mr. Two Trillion played flawlessly. No one dares to doubt the form and ability of the 34-year-old veteran Van der Sar anymore, and no one dares to doubt George? Wood would be overstressed with the hat of "Mr. Two Trillion".

Wood's performance in the game was no different from any of his previous games. The media was disappointed to find that he was neither depressed nor encouraged by the pressure...... Nothing. He's really like his name, wooden.

The media outside is very lively because of his worth, but he is like no one!

After the game, the players will be stopped by reporters as they pass through the complex for some interviews. George? Wood and Van der Sar were surrounded by the most people.

Van der Sar's most frequently asked question is the same old thing: Why Nottingham Forest? How did the first game feel? Do you work well with your teammates? What do you think of the manager? What do you think of the Forest fans...... Van der Sar is a comfortable question to deal with, and he knows how to answer them in order to please the fans and bring him closer to his team-mates.

More problems on Wood's side are from that "two trillion worth".

He stood in the crowd and waited for all the reporters to ask their questions before asking, "How much is two trillion?" ”

The reporters were suddenly stopped by such a rhetorical question, how to explain the concept of two trillion to the person in front of them?

"It's the GDP created in the UK last year...... which sounds bluffing, but for George, who doesn't know what "GDP" is? Wood still had no idea.

"A lot?"

"It is expected to reach more than two trillion dollars!"

"How much is two trillion?"

The problem is coming back to ...... Some of the reporters let out a wail, knowing that this topic was a piece of fat, but in the face of such a player, it gave them a sense of powerlessness that they had nowhere to speak.

Pierce? Bruce stood in the crowd, took out his mobile phone, turned on the calculator function, crackled and calculated, then raised his head and said to Wood: "George, at your current weekly salary, you need to work seven million six hundred and ninety-two thousand three hundred and seven years to earn two trillion." ”

Everyone threw a grateful glance at Bruce, a figure much more intuitive than the nihilistic "GDP concept". It's like if you tell someone who has never seen a yacht before that yachts are expensive, how expensive are they? You convert the money of a yacht into the food he knows best, and it becomes clear.

Then the reporter began to expect Wood to say something about it, but Wood only nodded when he heard the number: "Oh, I can't live more than seven million years, so two trillion doesn't mean anything to me." ”

Everyone was disappointed, except for one person. Bruce laughed silently in the back, and he knew Wood would say that because he knew George? What kind of person Wood is.

George? Wood loves money, and that's right. But that was when he needed a large sum of money to treat his mother. Now that his mother's illness is being treated by the club, his standard of living has improved more than a notch compared to before, living in a brand new apartment, living a life that he could only dream of or fantasize about, he has nothing to pursue. All that's left is to play well and be worthy of the salary the club pays him.

For him, earning two thousand five hundred pounds a week is a very high income, and he does not know how to spend it, and there is no difference between earning twenty-five thousand pounds a week and two thousand five hundred pounds, both are very high, and he does not know how to spend it. He and his mother's living needs are so high, and without having to pay for their own treatment, the extra money is saved - there is no place to spend it. He doesn't buy designer fashion, he doesn't buy high-end sports cars, he doesn't buy any luxury goods, he doesn't have girlfriends, he doesn't go out to high-end entertainment venues, and he doesn't have any hobbies that need to be maintained by spending a lot of money. No matter how much money he makes now, except that the quality of life is better than before, he and that porter George? Wood doesn't make any difference in essence.

Bruce knows why Donn values this silly boy so much, because he has a quality that many young players don't have these days, and that quality can ensure that he doesn't go down the wrong path and lose his way, and he doesn't fall from a shining new type of meteor to a meteor.

Bruce's experience in watching football for more than 20 years has reduced the number of talented prodigies who died prematurely, often not because of their own lack of strength, but because they did not withstand the temptation from outside the football field.

It's obviously better to pin your hopes on players like this than on those playboys.

George? Wood didn't have a high degree or training in professionalism, but he had a very simple philosophy that his mother had instilled in him since he was a child — that if you take someone's money, you have to do your best to help them. Washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown is the same, and so is being a professional player who looks well-dressed, because washing dishes is no different from a professional player, and both are a job for Wood.

While the group of reporters was stunned by Wood's answer, he turned and left the mixed zone. He rarely gives interviews, and he wasn't the biggest player in the Forest squad before, and he didn't pay much attention to a youngster who would only do the dirty work on the football pitch. It's different now, he scored, so he became a genius overnight, everybody started to pay attention to him, even the commander's handsome became a reason for a genius, and now almost every game there will be reporters waiting in the mixed area to block him. He didn't want to say anything in front of so many people, but when Donn told him he had to, he did, but what he could say in one sentence in an interview would never be expressed in two sentences, and if he could use only one word, he would never use two words.

He's not like Ashley? Young is so wordy, the mantra of "you know" will be repeated twenty times in an interview...... although it was only a draw with Newcastle at home, Donn is still very satisfied with the performance of his players, because it was originally to examine the run-in between Van der Sar and the team, and the result of not conceding a goal is perfect, and it also proves that the run-in between Van der Sar and the team is going well.

Next up is a very special match...... In the third round of the English FA Cup, Nottingham Forest hosted their city rivals - Nods County.

The Nottingham derby may be considered the oldest city derby in the history of world football, or "one of the oldest". However, in recent decades, with Nods County lingering in the lower leagues, the two teams have rarely met each other. So-called rivals rarely compete on the pitch, but that doesn't affect the hostility between the two teams.

Notts County fans insist on calling City Stadium a "place full of sin", calling Nottingham Forest fans "the_f", and "f" is the first letter of "**", which is probably the same meaning as calling "stupid cunt" in China.
