At Eastwood's farewell match, all the players of Nottingham Forest were stimulated by Eastwood's tears on the pitch, as if they were collectively doping, they beat rival Arsenal 2-1 at their home stadium, which was regarded as a parting gift for Eastwood.

But no one cares much about the outcome of this game. In the post-match press conference, reporters asked more questions about Eastwood.

Rumours have it that Nottingham Forest have given Eastwood a staff contract and that he will remain in the Forest squad. Journalists asked to confirm whether the news was true.

Donn told them it was and Eastwood would remain part of the first-team coaching staff.

There are also reporters who are concerned about whether the loss of a leading scorer in the middle of the season will have a bad impact on the team's prospects. After all, the team's current results are not ideal, it is almost December, and Nottingham Forest are sixth in the league.

Done has denied the claim, and while Eastwood's departure is a big blow to him, it hasn't been enough to put his plans in ruin for the entire season.

The atmosphere in the venue was not bad, and Don En was not angry with the reporters because he lost his favorite general. He tried his best to answer everyone's questions, and his attitude was surprisingly good.

But if it keeps going like this, it's not Tony. Don was at the press conference.

Finally someone stood up and asked a question that made Donn furious.

"Mr. Donn. Do you agree with the view that Eastwood's retirement today was decided before he joined Nottingham Forest? If it weren't for George. Wood's ferocious and brutal foul will extend the gypsy's career until at least the age of thirty-four. The person who stood up to ask the question had a smile on his face, but his face was extremely ugly in Tang Endi's eyes.

The person who asked such a vicious question was Donn's old nemesis, Carl, who is still bareheaded. Spike.

Some media have mentioned this matter before, and they believe that Eastwood chose to retire so early, and the culprit is George. Wood. And not in Michael. Dawson. They turned to Eastwood's CV when he played for West Ham's youth team to prove that they were right.

Although Donn does not blame Dawson for killing Eastwood's career, he also firmly disagrees with the claim that Wood is the culprit. The reason why he uncharacteristically did not engage in a war of words with other media in the column and refute this issue was not because he was weak-hearted, but because he didn't want to fall for the media's tricks, and this matter was hyped up to Wood and Eastwood. It's not even good for the Forest team as a whole.

But now, apparently, some people are no longer happy to see Donn's silence.

If you don't say it, I'll force you to say it in front of the public!

There was some commotion among the reporters after hearing Spike ask such a question. This kind of question is actually what many people want to ask, but they know what Donne's bottom line is, this question is really difficult to ask, and if it is asked, it will definitely not be answered. It's not good for yourself at all.

Now the "hero" in their hearts has appeared! Cal. Spike apparently doesn't expect Donn's answer, and he asks this question for the simple reason that he wants to make Donn angry, and that's where all his news feed comes from. He didn't care if Don answered the question, as long as Don reacted, "Those Things About Football" at night would be good.

Don glared at Spike. He was tempted to smash the microphone in front of him at the other side, then get up and grab the chair and pounce on the other person to the ground and slap him hard - he did have the urge to kill the other person.

In the end, he held back and didn't really do it. He just stood up slowly and pointed at Spike. Speak slowly to try to make it as clear as possible for the questioner and the others: "There's one thing I agree with, Carl. Mr. Spike. ”

"What is it?" Spike asks with a smile and waits for Don to answer.

"You're a stinking bastard who deserves hell!"

After Tang En cursed this, he turned around and left the press conference.

His answer made the reporters present very excited, and Wenger, who was sitting next to him, smiled wryly. In the campaign between the reporters and Donn, he became a complete foil......

Hearing Donn grit his teeth and curse that expletive, Carl. Spike is not angry, but happy. He clenched his fists and said happily, "Excellent! Then he turned back to look at the cameraman of his show: "Did you record it?" ”

The videographer nodded.

Spike gives his partner a thumbs up. He got the results he wanted, and the press conference was not in vain.

Eastwood's retirement is a pain in the hearts of Forest fans, but even the most die-hard fans can't deny the fact – who caused the promising Gypsy goalscorer's early retirement? It was none other than their beloved captain George. Wood. "In the evening show, Carl. Spike chatting in front of the camera. Perhaps the biggest thing he regrets right now is that Donn didn't punch him in the nose on the spot, so he could silently accuse Tony to the audience with a bold band-aid. Don is a dangerous violent person too.

"Am I talking nonsense? Let's look at the evidence. ”

The scene cuts to the press conference at the City Stadium in the afternoon. Cal. Spike appears polite in the camera, and when he asks that question, he is answered by Donn's vicious face and the expletive. The images of the two people are really different.

"Alright. First of all, we need to answer the question - why Tony. Mr. Donn, after hearing my question. Will it be so angry? If he doesn't have a ghost in his heart, does anyone believe it? Apparently. Deep down, he thinks I'm right, and he absolutely agrees with me. That's why he reacted so violently – we all know Tony. Mr. Donn is a good-looking, self-respecting man, and there are some things he agrees with, but he won't express them. For example, this one. ”

Spike smirked. He felt like he was throwing a dart that hit the bull's-eye. The screen is a very timely replay of Donn's expletives at the press conference.

"Of course, we'll have to look at things separately. George. The foul that Wood committed when he was still on the youth team did lead to Eastwood's early retirement, but without him, Eastwood might not have had such a successful career - he may not have met Tony on any other team. Donn, can't come to Nottingham Forest......"

It seems that Spike is working for George. Wood exonerates, but in reality this is just a ploy he uses to present himself as an "impartial and objective commentator." When he needs to demean a person. He does this a lot.

Like what:

"So-and-so's performance on the field is so terrible, I wonder if he went to a nightclub last night. Of course, it is normal for young people to vent, after all, playing in a big team is a very hard thing, whether it is physical or psychological, you need to find a way to relieve the accumulated pressure......"

You see, there wasn't a word that mentioned sensitive words, and it sounded like it was for the sake of this player. But the "rumors" that so-and-so went out on the eve of the game were confirmed.

So now he says so. It's about making "Wood the culprit responsible for his teammate's retirement" a fait accompli.

He never hides his love for Tony. Don's disgust, as has a deep Tony. Donn's branded Forest team, naturally, does not please Karl. Mr. Spike's like. If his words and this episode can send the Forest team into chaos, then he is happy to do so.

"You've fallen for his tricks again, Uncle Tony. Shania, who was watching TV at home, curled up on the couch. Grumbling to Donn.

"I did it on purpose. Don shrugged.

"How can anyone deliberately fall for it?"

"Because I was afraid of being used by him, I didn't dare to scold him on the spot, which was too embarrassing for me. Of course, I have to scold, so I didn't lose money. As for his tricks. I have my own way. Don said it for granted.

Shania pouted. She knew that it was Uncle Tony's hard mouth, what could he do, he just cared about the pleasure at the time. Counting from the time she was not married, she had lived with Uncle Tony for ten years, and she couldn't be more familiar with the man next to her.

Don doesn't want to listen to Spike's rampage in the public media, so he pulls out his remote control and changes the channel.

"I still don't think I'm scolding enough now, and now I can at least come up with fifteen ways to scold him without repeating it. ”

"You're still like a little kid, Uncle Tony. Shania heard him say that. laughed. "What are you angry with him?"

In terms of dealing with the media, the younger Shania is more mature than Done, perhaps because she has been trained by her model mother since she was a child. No one can be loved by everyone in the world, and there are people who don't like her as a star with a personality like Shania, and when these people make nonsense about her in the media, she always ignores her and continues to go her own way.

Don didn't answer, after a Q&A with Shania. He's going to start thinking about ways to reduce the impact of Spike's episode on the team.

He knew Spike wasn't talking nonsense. That's because Wood's performance has fluctuated lately. It was as if he would never come out, and there would never be a pool of stagnant water that would come in. Now there are frequent ripples.

Hopefully this is not a sign of an earthquake......

"Uncle Tony?"

"Huh?"

"What is the relationship between Freddie and George?" Shania suddenly cares about the team, which surprises Don a little.

Shania has always eaten the vinegar of football, and although she is Brazilian, she does not like football very much because it has stolen Uncle Tony's love. Naturally, for her husband's team, the level of concern is also very superficial, limited to knowing whether the results are good or bad.

Don thought about it for a moment, because he was also wondering what the relationship between the two men was. On the inside, George. Wood rarely speaks and is a man of action, except for the duty he has to do as a captain. Eastwood, on the other hand, has a lot to say. It's a pistachio in the locker room, and the popularity is very good. However, the two of them rarely talk alone, and if they have to say something, it has something to do with the team.

Don knew that Eastwood had a knot in his heart, and he was reluctant to smile at Wood. He also knew what kind of personality Wood was, and because of his background, his taciturn seemed to be a shell of his fragile self-esteem, so he appeared a little arrogant. It's better to call it "pride". So don't expect Wood to reach out to Eastwood and reach out to him and say, "Hey, Freddy. That accident was my fault, I'm sorry and sorry...... But now that we're teammates, I hope we can still get along well......"

Such a thing that is both inferior and proud, sensitive and wooden. Wood would never have done it. Since Eastwood made it clear that he didn't like him, he wouldn't salivate over it.

Therefore, the two of them are in the forest team, which is known for its harmonious atmosphere within the team. It's like an anomaly. Fortunately, both of them are people who focus on the overall situation and will not deliberately find each other's faults in the team.

"Uh...... They're not friends anyway. Don thought about it and didn't know how to explain it specifically. "They almost never say three words alone together. ”

Shania tilted her head to look at Donn, "Then why don't you create conditions for them to talk together alone?" ”

Don was stunned for a moment.

Oh, yes. All along, he thought that he couldn't embarrass the two of them and didn't intensify the conflict. So turn a blind eye and think that it doesn't endanger the internal atmosphere of the team anyway, just let it be, they are all sensible people anyway.

Obviously, we can't continue to do this......

George. Wood's ups and downs in form have affected the team's results. That's what Don doesn't want to see. In addition, if this continues, there may be people in the team who really think that - it was the captain who killed Eastwood. Because Eastwood is very popular, this kind of thinking can be scary once it spreads and shakes the team's unity foundation. When a captain can no longer have prestige in the hearts of his teammates, it has a bad ripple effect.

This matter must be resolved.

Shania has a great idea for him.

Don leaned over to Shania and leaned up.

Shania was a little wary: "What are you going to do, Uncle Tony?" ”

Don smiled, "Thank you." Shania! ”

Shania rolled her eyes, "Your lewd smile has betrayed you, Uncle Tony." You're thinking about that again, right? ”

Don put away his smile and looked serious: "I just suddenly became a little jealous of Freddy's two children after seeing him. I want a baby, Shania. ”

They have been married for five years, and no matter how hard they try, Shania's body just doesn't react at all. Although Don never showed it, Shania knew that he was anxious, and even had some bad worries. What can she do as a wife? I can only comfort my husband with my own tenderness and young and sexy **. When she was in the United States, she had secretly run to check. As a result, there was no problem with my body at all......

Uncle Tony suddenly mentions the child again. Apparently he was stimulated by Freddy's two children. Eastwood's son and daughter are really lovely, and everyone wants to have a child like that.

Hear Don say that. Shania looked up and offered a kiss. Two people linger on the sofa......

The next morning, when Donne drove to Wilford, Eastwood was already there waiting for him.

"You don't have to be so early, Freddie. Don looked at his watch, it was only half past eight. Usually he came relatively early, but he didn't expect Eastwood to come earlier.

"Hah, sir! On the first day of work, you always have to be positive, right? ”

Don En glared at him: "Don't call me the head, you are the same as me now, the coach of the team." ”

Eastwood shook his head nonchalantly: "Actually, when I was waiting for you here, I was thinking about the title. Later, I found out that it was better to call you 'Boss', and I got used to it. Aren't you used to hearing that, chief? ”

Tang En reluctantly acquiesced to this title, and no longer continued to dwell on such details.

"That, chief...... I'm a first-time coach, is there any work assigned to me? Or...... What do you think I can do? Eastwood clapped his hands, his new identity still made him a little awkward. "I was trained by the coaches every day, but I didn't know much about it. ”

If it weren't for his wife's suggestion yesterday, Donn's original plan would have been to let Eastwood work and study with other coaches, not be responsible for specific affairs, and then go to the coaching association to take coaching classes and prepare for a coaching license.

But now it was clear that there was an even more urgent job for him to do.

"Hmm...... That's right, Freddie. Are you interested in ...... What does George think? Tang En pondered for a moment and asked.

Eastwood was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why the boss was asking this question, but he knew that the leader was definitely not chatting with him. He thought about it for a moment and replied, "Not friends anyway." ”

Don laughed, remembering what he had said to Shania last night.

"Well, I can understand your thoughts. Freddy. But for now, I want you to do me a favor...... Or it's not a help, you're a coach now, then the players on the team are treated equally, and I want you to do something for the team as a coach......"

"Does it have anything to do with his recent poor form and restless performance?" Cal. After Spike bluntly raised that question at the press conference, the media began to follow suit. In their opinion, such gossip is clearly more entertaining and interesting than nostalgia for Eastwood's career.

"It's so easy to talk to smart people. Donn exclaimed. "That's it. Whatever you think of him, I want you to abandon this relationship, even temporarily...... Get that stable desperate wooden man back for the team. ”

This was an unexpected "mission". Eastwood has never worked as a "psychological counselor", let alone facing the "enemy" who has made him where he is today...... However, he also knows that his current identity is not allowed to play personal tempers, and the boss emphasizes teamwork, which is not only used to restrain the team, but also the coaching staff.

What a headache to do.

"Yes, sir. I promise. But...... You're going to have me think about how to do it. ”

Seeing that he agreed, Don let out a sigh of relief and laughed. "Yes, but don't think about it for too long. Our team's current position is not very optimistic. ”

"I know the boss. Rest assured, you won't be disappointed. ”

Eastwood said goodbye to Don and turned to leave.

Don stood in his office, thoughtful.
