Volume 4 The Storm Chapter 1 A New Future

UEFA press spokesman William Gaillard said in an interview with a body this morning that it was very inappropriate and inappropriate to say that Nottingham Forest manager Tony Downe's behaviour after receiving the award was very inappropriate. The day after the game, Tony Downe explained what he did through the media, believing that after the medal was given to him, it belonged to his personal belongings, and how to dispose of it was his private behavior and had nothing to do with UEFA. Mr. Gaillard expressed regret that he believed that the place of representation of the medal was an honour and that it would not be appropriate to give it away so lightly. He hopes that Coach Donn will set the right example for his players......"

"Bullshit role model!" Amid the rage, Don turned off the TV. I wish they had set the right example for the whole of European football! ”

Sitting behind the boss's desk, Evan Dogertyian raised a piece of paper in his hand, which is a fax from UEFA, and fined you 80,000 for your behavior of 'inappropriately evaluating the referee on duty' after the game. Tony, you're probably the manager with the most fines......"

Don paced back and forth in the room, looking a little agitated. But I can't be blamed for that...... I'm telling the truth, and the truth is often not liked by anyone."

"What about the evidence. You don't have proof. Mourinho can also say that his men saw Barcelona officials walk into the referee's lounge...... What do you see? Evan quietly criticized.

Don was silent, he really had no evidence, and it seemed that his words were more like a failed grumble and unwillingness.

"Tony. I understand your actions, and if I were you, I would probably do the same...... It's just possible. But, you can't always think about venting yourself, you're making it very difficult for Alan to do that." He glanced at Allen, who was sitting on the other side of the chairman's office

Don stopped and looked at the club's marketing manager, who was sitting silently on the sand.

He knew that because of that incident, Alan must have an opinion about himself in his heart. After all. He has a job to maintain and shape the new image of the Forest team, and what he did and said at the Champions League final medal ceremony just ruined the image that he worked so hard to maintain...... Put it on yourself, I guess he won't be happy either.

This is not the time to make an awkward scene, not to mention that they are all their own people. He doesn't need to give himself a look at his face, and it is UEFA that makes him angry, not Nottingham Forest.

"Uh...... I'm sorry, Alan. I hadn't thought of that before." He scratched his head and kept restraint at Allen, but sometimes he couldn't control himself. I want you to apologize."

Alan stood up, smiled and shook his head, "Don't be so nervous, Tony. You've caused me a bit of trouble, though...... It's my job to deal with these troubles. If it weren't for the trouble, I probably wouldn't know what to do yet. Don't take it personally." He walked over and patted Don on the shoulder. Next time I will reach the final......"

Don took over his words: "I'm not going to give away the gold medal easily."

Alan was stunned for a moment, but after understanding what Tang Grace meant, he laughed out loud.

"You can give it to me." He winked at Donn.

"Think beautifully."

"Tony, this fine...... It's still the old rule, the club handed it over for you. The next time you remember to say something impulsively, go through your brain first." Evan was ticketed and pointed to his head.

Don raised his hands: "I see...... I've already done a lot of self-reflection."

"In a hotel room?" Evan looked at Don and asked.

"I promise you. Evan." Donn's gaze went over Evan Dogetty, who was sitting in front of the window, to the clear blue sky." We're going to have a fresh start."

Just the day after UEFA announced the punishment of Don Endi, Nottingham Forest officials also held a press conference to officially announce that they will be with the team's meritorious coach Tony as a news figure. The site of the contract renewal conference was packed with local chronicles from all over the world.

This press conference is somewhat showy, because the two sides will be on the spot, in front of many people, instead of signing and distributing the news.

Some media have seen Forest's choice of this time to announce the contract extension as a protest against UEFA's punishment of Dond. This is a bit of a wrongful Nottingham Forest, after all, Don signed a three-year contract with the club, which expires at the end of this year, and it is normal to consider renewing the contract at this time. UEFA penalties and Nottingham Forest support? That can only be described as a coincidence.

When the two protagonists, Evan Dogetty and Tony Towne, appeared in the venue, the reporters fell silent.

"It's a contract that's been prepared for a long time and it's very satisfying for Coach Don in every way." Evan Dogetty got straight to the point, and we had already decided to give Coach Donn a new contract before the Champions Cup final, regardless of the outcome." He said this, which is equivalent to answering the previous media's question about the place where he announced the renewal of his contract with Donn at this time, and it has nothing to do with UEFA's punishment, which is a matter that has been decided a long time ago.

"The club is delighted to see Coach Don accept this contract. After all, everyone from me to the average field worker thinks that Coach Tony Towne is the best person to lead this team, he has brought new life and glory to this old team, and he is the pride of the city......"

Don sat on the sidelines, quietly listening to Evan raving about him, with no embarrassed expression on his face.

"As I said earlier – there is no one better suited to lead Nottingham Forest than him. So the club offered him an eight-year contract."

This caused a commotion at the scene, and everyone did not expect Nottingham Forest to offer such a long contract. Eight years, after which it will be 2014! Although coaching is a long profession, and it is not uncommon in English football to coach for 20 years in a team, in today's football, the flow of talent, and the supremacy of profit have long made loyalty a joke. With a contract of eight years, does Nottingham Forest really have such confidence in Donne?

In the midst of the noise, Don stood up, and everyone consciously quieted down, waiting for him to speak.

"I would like to thank the president of the club for believing in me, I love this team, this club. I can't think of where else I'm going to go without this. If possible, I hope that after eight years, I will be able to sign another eight years with Mr. President, and eight years after that, until I can no longer do my job. Yes the ground. That's how I hope."

At such a contract renewal meeting, Don also put away his usual teasing tone and nonchalan expression. He looked very serious, wearing a black suit and a red tie that symbolized the forest. Don rarely wears such a formal outfit.

"It's an honour to dedicate my entire coaching career to this great team." It was rare for anyone here to hear Donn speak like this, and he felt uncomfortable in the face of a few sarcastic words. Seeing him dressed so formally and speaking very touching words, the reporters always felt a little awkward......

After saying this, Donn sat down with Evan Dogetty under the flash, pushed away the contract text and bowed his head to sign.

“…… At the time, I said in the newspaper that this scene would be remembered for a long time in the history of the Foresters. People will say that Nottingham Forest and Tony Downe signed an eight-year contract extension on this day, just like Liverpool signed Bill Symkeley, which is a great contract extension. At that time, I was ridiculed for comparing great men with clowns for being uncommon-sense...... "Later, the famous journalist and biographer Pierce Ruth wrote in his autobiographical "Red Memory." Time will tell me right."

After signing their names, the two stood up and shook hands together in front of the media.

'The news that has made the managers of all teams in England unhappy is that Tony Downe has signed an eight-year contract extension at Nottingham Forest and will be fighting with other clubs for eight years. In the evening sports news, BBnetbsp; "England national team manager Christian Eriksen submitted his England squad to FIFA this morning. There is something special about this list. There was a person who was both unexpected and not surprising to be selected for the national team. Nottingham Forest captain, George Wood, was named in the squad by Eriksson and will be brought to Germany. George Wood has not been called up to the national team once before, and although he has performed well for the club, he has not played a single minute for the national team......

Nottingham Forest have two players named in the England squad: right-sided assist Ashley Young and defensive midfielder George Wood. Freddy Eastwood could have also been on the list, but the Roma turned down the English FA's call-up and opted to play for Wales. Because his grandfather was born in Wales......"

There's no talk of Don Die on the TV news anymore, and now the focus is on the World Cup. The Three Lions are looking forward to another journey with countless Englishmen, and it is only natural that the media have declared Eriksen the strongest England team in 30 years, as they did at the World Cup in Japan and South Korea four years ago......

Wood was at home when he saw the news when he received a message from Tony.

"Congratulations, boy. You are now an official member of the England national team! ”

"Thank you." Wood's reply surprised Donn a little, as his tone sounded calm, not happy or excited.

"It's not a good mood. How? It's something you didn't even think about when you decided where you wanted to play."

"Should I be happy?" Wood asked rhetorically.

"Uh...... Theoretically...... Yes the ground. Those who are selected for the national team for the first time will regard this day as the most important day of their lives, at least in their autobiographies......"

"Will I be the main player?"

"You'll have to ask Erikson about that." Donn shrugged, "I don't count, he's the head coach of the national team. But...... Do you want to listen to my advice, George? ”

"Hmm."

"Whether you're the main force or not, it's not something you worry about. You just have to train hard and if you are given a chance to play, don't think about anything and perform well. Remember, don't think about 'am I the main force?' Remember your first competitive game for Forest's first team? ”

"Remember."

That's it."

Wood was silent for a moment.

Donn thought that there might be another reason why Wood was not in a good mood: "Hey, you can't still be thinking about the Champions Cup final, right?" ”

Wood acquiesced.

"Ahem...... Football is like that, there is no winning general, there is always a time to lose...... Do you remember when you smashed the youth team game and wanted to quit the field, I spoke to you in the locker room? ”

Wood thought for a moment and nodded, "Remember."

"You lose ground here, you can win it back there. You lose the ground in this game and can win it back in the next game. If you feel unwilling, try to win it back in the future."

"I see."

"One last piece of advice: Whenever you go, remember that you are out of Nottingham Forest, and don't disgrace me."

After finishing the call with Don Dyndy, Mom walked into Wood's bedroom.

"Mr. Donn called?"

Wood nodded and put the phone back on the table.

"I can't believe it......," Sophia stood in the doorway, tilting her head to look at her son, "My George will also become a player in the England national team one day."

Wood was a little embarrassed and looked out the window. He felt a pair of hands gently wrap around his waist, and his mother's forehead rested on his back.

"This back is much wider...... George grew up. I'm going to be shy, too."

"Mom's ......"

"Wherever you are, keep it up, George."

"Hmm."

"Hey, Don, we're going to change our schedule." After talking to Wood on the phone, Don went downstairs to find Don.

"Will you go back to China first?"

Donn nodded: "We're going to be busy after the World Cup, I didn't think of that before. We'll go back to China first, and then we'll go straight from China to Germany."

"When are you leaving?"

"In a few days, I'll be done with the business."

Don nodded in agreement.

Donn's "here side of the matter" also has something to do with the World Cup. Originally, he was routinely required to write a football review for the Nottingham Evening Post during the World Cup.

However, because he successfully "predicted" the major event of the Greek team winning the championship during the European Cup, he was targeted by more media during this World Cup.

The BBc wants to sign Donn on a short-term contract to be a guest commentator for the duration of the World Cup. Don liked this errand very much, he used to scold the commentators and commentators for talking nonsense, bull's head is not right, except for repeating the nonsense that everyone knows and arguing for those players with "inner monologues", he will do nothing, and he will say it better than those so-called experts. Now I finally have a way to get through the addiction of commentators.

Since it is hired. Naturally there should be a pay. However, Don didn't care about the small money, and after renewing his contract with the club, his annual salary rose to £2.7 million. Although this number is not even in the top five in the ranking of coaches' earnings in the UK, it is a lot of money for him to travel from China to the UK. Not to mention the Chinese, many Britons do not earn enough for a year of Donne's income in a lifetime.

His initial idea was that even if the BBc told Shania, he would be criticized by Shania.

Shania's opinion is not only to make money, but also to raise the price with the BBc. Her reason was that Don was now a well-known leader. Although he can say that he doesn't care about money, this salary is directly related to his status. If you have less money, it means that people don't value you, and the more money you have, the higher your status. This is the same as the model catwalk, and the appearance fee of world-class supermodels must be more than those who have just debuted.

Don accepted Shania's advice, and he is now the coach who led the team to the Champions Cup final. You can't just hit it.

So, the main job these days is to work with BBnetbsp; Out of kindness, Shania wanted her agent to help Don negotiate. was politely declined by Tang En. He didn't want to find himself an agent, even temporarily.

Because the Georgians don't have any opinions. But he didn't want to have anything to do with his agent.

In the end, the negotiations went smoothly and the BBc showed enough sincerity. The other party and the two parties quickly signed the contract. The BBc then announced that the famous coach Tony would be a special guest on the commentary table.

Despite the defeat in the Champions Cup final, it seems that Donn has gained something more...... The club's new contract represents trust and encouragement, while the TV contract signifies a great reputation, and George is one of the people who proves his vision and coaching skills from another perspective.

The pain and frustration of defeat is a thing of yesterday, and now he is facing a new future, and he is full of confidence.
