The noses of the media are very sensitive, and although the FA has not officially announced that they have reached an agreement with Tony Towne, the Sun has already shaken the news out in advance.

It's just that they used the question: "The new leader of the Three Lions?" ”

The large caption is accompanied by a picture of Tony Towne.

When Don saw the news, the first thing he did was turn off his phone. Otherwise, he would have been harassed to death by countless phone calls on this day.

Anyway, the FA has a press conference the next day, and if there are any questions, we will ask them later.

The next day, at Soho Square in London, the headquarters of the FA England, the FA and Don held a press conference here, at which the news of Donn's appointment will be officially announced.

Media from all over the world gathered as a witness.

Although he has been the head coach of the club for eleven years, this is the first time that a big girl has been in a sedan chair as the head coach of the national team. He deliberately wore a new suit today, and he also wore a rare tie.

When he walked into the venue and didn't say anything, the venue was already full of flashing lights. Shook the FA executive Sean Barclay, who had followed him in.

After the two were seated, Barclays announced in the name of the FA official that Tony Downe was officially appointed as the head coach of the England national team.

"We are delighted to have Mr Tony Downe as head coach in England. Among the many candidates, Tony Downe's results are the key to his standout. We are pleased and reassured by his achievements at Nottingham Forest and we are confident that England can take a new look under Mr Tony Towne. ”

Donn signed a two-year contract with the FA with the goal of the European Championship, and then looked at the results of the European Championship before deciding whether to renew his contract to the World Cup.

Don then made a brief inaugural declaration.

"Coaching England is a new challenge for me. And I love a challenge. ”

After saying this, Donn leaned back, signaling that the reporters were free to ask questions.

Sure enough, it's very brief......

The first journalist to stand up and ask a question was from The Times. His question was fairly decent: "Mr. Donn." Your predecessor coach Fabio Capello led the team to a fourth-place finish at the World Cup, do you have a specific goal? ”

Donn was about to answer, but Barclay suddenly interjected next to him: "Our goal is to win the European Championship." ”

Don glanced at him, then nodded: "Yes, the short-term goal is the European Cup." ”

The question that follows is getting farther and farther away.

Journalists are clearly more interested in why Donn resigned from Nottingham Forest, and Tony Downe has yet to give an explanation. The Forest club also did not reveal any further information.

The Sun reporter stood up and asked: "May I ask Mr. Tony Towne, what was your motivation for choosing to resign from Nottingham Forest at the most glorious time?" ”

Donn looked at Barclays. The FA's executive was also embarrassed.

So Donn spread his hands: "I'm sorry, this is the FA's press conference on the selection of the England manager, not the press conference of Nottingham Forest. You're in the wrong place, Mr. Reporter from The Sun. ”

The scene is finally here. Journalists were extremely excited. I haven't seen him for more than a month, and Don still hasn't given a good face when facing reporters. When he was at the club, he didn't have a good relationship with the media, so don't expect him to come to the England squad and be able to understand each other and work together.

The media gained more attention and readers by provoking Donn. Donn, on the other hand, sees working against the media as a pleasure. Coaches are under a lot of pressure, and there must always be a way to vent, and scolding the media is also a way.

The reporter from The Sun was still reluctant to give up, but Barclay finally interjected: "Mr. Reporter, you would better ask questions related to this topic. Otherwise, we have the right to refuse to answer. ”

"Yes, Mr. Barclay. I just have a question for you. The reporter smiled and nodded, "As the English FA, Mr. Tony Towne was chosen to be the coach of the England team." Naturally, I took a fancy to his team's achievements. So is the FA worried that Mr Donne's big mouth will cause some unnecessary problems for the team and the FA? ”

"This ......," Barclay secretly scolded his mother, "we trust that Mr. Tony Towne will pay attention to his words and deeds." ”

Donn grabbed the conversation: "Don't worry, I won't cause any problems for the FA or the England team." In fact, I only fight back when someone else is provocative. I also hope that in the days to come, we can all be safe. At this, he glanced meaningfully at the reporter of the Sun.

After learning that Don was going to attend a press conference, Pierce Bruce was sent to London by the editor-in-chief, hoping to get some big news through his personal relationship with Donn. It's a pity that Don turned off his phone. He can only come to this press conference honestly.

He was hit by the moderator and stood up to ask questions. In fact, he wanted to imagine the Sun reporter asking Don why he wanted to leave the forest, but he knew that he would not get any answer to this question except to destroy the connection between him and Don.

"Can you tell us a little bit about your team-building policy, Mr. Donn?"

"All English players have the potential to be selected for the national team. I don't look at their fame, I don't even care what their names are, I just look at their state and attitude. Lazy people have no place for me. Don replied with an "iron fist", which was also expected by everyone. That's what he is. This is the case at Nottingham Forest. No one can object to questioning his opinion.

Bruce didn't continue to ask. He sat down. Another man stood up: "Mr. Donn, when you were at Nottingham Forest, you thought Forest was the best team in England. So will you build your squad around the English players in your Forest squad? ”

Done knew of course that the man was tactfully asking if he might be more partial to the English players at Nottingham Forest. He won't explain: "No, I'm not going to do that, I'm fair and just in choosing every player. "It's not in line with his personality and style.

He nodded: "If they're doing well, why not?" ”

Nepotism is a derogatory term, but there are also virtuous people who do not shy away from relatives. He is more familiar with Nottingham Forest's players than players from other teams, so the English players in the Forest team will naturally have to find some cheapness. Donn wasn't shy about talking about it, and in fact he was ready to do so.

If the media were going to scold him. Then the root cause must not be because he chose too many Forest players, but because he lost the game. So the national team is the same as the club, as long as you can win, then there is no problem.

Grasping the essence of the problem, things are much simpler.

The reporters took turns asking questions, and Don En coped with it with ease and no flaws. After more than a month of rest, it doesn't seem to affect his state. After the press conference. Barclay was pleased with Donn's performance – he didn't stab him at the press conference.

He just hoped it wasn't a flash in the pan.

After this press conference, the news that Tony Towne was officially appointed as the head coach of the England team appeared in major newspapers, television, radio and the Internet. Don became the focus of the news.

The newspapers were full of his pictures.

The BBC is planning to invite him to do an interview.

Chris Rac eats his breakfast while reading the freshly baked newspaper. He flipped straight to the sports version.

It was a large photograph of Donn that caught your eye. In the photo, he is dressed in a straight suit and tie, with a serious expression.

When I saw him, Chris Rac remembered that he had left the Forest team in the first place. There was no doubt that Donn had deceived him. He was the first to know what to say, but it was only when the outside media spread that he received a postcard from Donn from Brazil with a beautiful bikini printed with a tropical style, telling him that he was quitting.

The news was sudden. Chris Rac wasn't unprepared for it. Don and Allen don't have a good relationship, and he knows all too well as an assistant coach. However, he didn't expect Don to be willing to leave the team he had worked hard for eleven years for this reason. This person really has a lot of personality, and he can't do things with common sense......

In Chrislac's opinion, choosing to leave at such a glorious time was a difficult decision to make, but how did he know that Don had been thinking about this decision for a whole year, and he was still a little hesitant until the last moment. If it weren't for Evan's performances that completely disappointed him, maybe he would have stayed at Wilford. At first, he only retreated because of the conflict with Allen, and finally he found out that the smiling Evan was actually on the opposite side of himself. Then there is no need to struggle, just quit and be happy.

Holding the newspaper, Chris Rac sighed his fate, put the newspaper aside, and continued to eat. That's when his phone rang.

Looking at the phone number, it turned out to be Tony Don calling!

"Tony, you've finally called me. Are you here to apologize to me? ”

"I'm so sorry, David. I didn't expect the club to have a press conference so soon...... I'll write you a postcard as soon as I arrive in Brazil. Donn knew what Chris Lack meant by "apology." He does need to apologize to his partner. In addition, I have a request for him.

"Forget it. Let the past be in the past. Do you have anything to do with me? "Chrislak doesn't want to dwell on this issue either, it's not interesting.

"That's right. David. You should know, right? I became England landlord manager. ”

"I'm reading the newspaper and your picture is taken too seriously. ”

"Hah!" Don En laughed, "I'm a bare-bones commander, and I don't even have a helper...... I intend to invite you to join the coaching staff in England. We're working together and it's absolutely fine! ”

Chrisrak stopped eating, and he was silent for a moment.

Don didn't rush either, he knew that the news was sudden. Give the other person a little time to think about it. "You don't have to rush to give me an answer, David. You can seriously consider calling me again in a few days......"

"No, I refuse, Tony. ”

"You can really think about it for a few days, David. ”

"I just thought about it. "Chrislak is so categorical that there is no room for negotiation at all.

"Okay...... Can you tell me your reasoning? Donn knew he couldn't convince Chrislak because he didn't like forcing people to do things they wouldn't want to do.

"I love the forest, Tony. The Forest team is a mess after you're gone. The new coach, Martin O'Neal, doesn't know anything about this team and I, who knows the team, have to stay and help him adapt to the team as quickly as possible. You go, I'll go, I don't know what this team will become......"

Donne's face turned a little red when he said this, and he kept forcing himself not to care about the news of the Forest team, just because he was afraid that it would hurt his heart to think about it - the championship division he had built up single-handedly had already sold two people, and it was said that he would continue to sell it. Wait for the start of the new season. How many old people are left of treble winners Nottingham Forest?

"If Don were still around, I might have promised you. By the way, why don't you ask Don? ”

Tang Enxin said that it is useless to ask, the answer must be the same as you. He wants to be the manager and he's doing a good job at Nods. Why should he leave the team he brought up and follow himself to England as an assistant coach?

"Sorry I couldn't help you, Tony. I wish you the best of luck. ”

Hanging up Donn's call, Chris Rac picked up the newspaper again. Looking at the photo of Don En above, I was stunned for a while.

"Whose phone call is early in the morning?" The wife came out of the bathroom with her hands rubbed, she had just given her little son a bath.

"An old friend. Chrislak put the newspaper down again and went on with his breakfast.

Donne is now struggling that he doesn't have the right coaching staff – and while he has a great set at the club, they don't want to come to England. When Capello took office, he brought a full set of Italian coaching teams, from assistant coaches to goalkeeper coaches and physical coaches, all of whom were Italians. These Italians also left England with Capello's departure. Nothing was left for Donn. Before he could build a team, he had to assemble his own coaching team.

He called Roy Keon again. We hope to invite him as an assistant coach in England. Without any suspense, Keane rejected him.

"I'm an Irishman, Tony. Keane smiled strangely, perhaps because he thought Done's invitation was so inexplicable. "How could I possibly go to England as an assistant coach. Have you ever seen an Argentine as an assistant coach in the Brazilian national team? ”

At this time, Don found that his popularity was not very good. Except for a few friends who had a good relationship, he couldn't find more people to work with. And those few people who have a good relationship are all at the head coach level, so let them leave their existing jobs to become assistant coaches for themselves? Unless they're crazy.

Although the FA recommended some candidates for him, Don still wanted to find it himself. Because only then can he find a coach who needs him and can work together. Multiplier.

Now he needs an assistant coach. A goalkeeper coach, a conditioning coach. There is also a psychologist. The most important thing is the assistant coach, and Dondy's coaching style dictates that he must have a competent assistant coach to assist him, so that he does not need to worry too much in training, and can focus more on tactical design and studying the opponent.

This assistant coach doesn't need to be famous, as long as he is capable and obedient. Because the suppression of the locker room is enough for Donn himself, the assistant coach has a mediocre personality, but can play a more active role.

Where to find such an assistant coach?
