After the afternoon's game, the media focused on the league game, with Nottingham Forest hosting Chelsea. It's not just because Forest, who are thirteenth in the league, defeated second-placed Chelsea, or because Chelsea, who had won four and drawn two without a defeat, finally lost, and it wasn't because of the Danish genius Niklas. Bendtner, or Paul. Ferreira's red card...... It can even be said that the media covered the game with such fanfare, and it had nothing to do with the players of both sides at all, but because of the managers of both teams.

The official English Premier League website updated its homepage half an hour after the match. They put a picture that took up almost half of the screen -- Mourinho and Toney. The scene of Donn's confrontation on the sidelines was brought up as it was, and then the following is the title of one word:

Enemy.

Very apt note.

And "Today's Event", which was broadcast live later in the evening, even invited lip language experts to interpret for the audience what the two head coaches said when they confronted each other on the sidelines. The result was not much different from the real situation, watching the conversation between the two managers, the sharp-toothed Lineker was speechless at the time, and he didn't seem to know how to evaluate the performance of the two managers.

Of course, such a thing is just a gimmick, Nottingham Forest wants to gain an important position in the league, and it is not possible to rely on Donn to jump up and down alone, and scold each other on the sidelines with the opposing manager without swearing words. They need to show what they can do, and the win came at the right time. While it was inevitable that the public would perceive Donn's words in the press conference as a bit arrogant, Forest fans supported Tony more than ever. Dawn.

Those who are still nostalgic for Brian. Old fans of the Clough era, new fans who have not experienced it but have heard the legend of Coach Clough countless times, now claim that they have found Brian. The real successor of Clough is not José from Portugal. Jose Mourinho, and it is Tony who has repeatedly declared that he has no intention of doing anything to succeed Clough. Dawn. They didn't care what Don thought of it, they made their expectations public like this.

At the end of the game, when the Forest players had completed the fans' autograph requests and stepped on the bus, Donn was the last to walk out of the stadium, and he found a gray-haired fan in the cheering crowd along the way, who must have lived through the Forest's most glorious years. He stood next to the Forest bus, not dancing, singing and dancing like the other excited Forest fans, just standing there with a cardboard in his hand that read:

Forget Robin Hood and remember Clough. Now, we have a second Clough.

Don passed by him, caught by the words on his sign, and then he looked up at the other person, and the old fans also looked at him, saying nothing, neither asking for an autograph nor asking for a group photo. Don shook his head slightly, turned and stepped onto the bus.

He knows what the fans expect from him, but he still doesn't know what to say. Is it true that I can't get rid of the influence of the boss? No matter how successful you are in the future, others will just say, "Tony. Don is Brian. Clough second! ”

Thinking of this, Don smiled bitterly. Although the leader is very optimistic about himself, he is trying to downplay his influence on himself, but he didn't expect things to develop like this.

Is the last name Coach Ge?

He didn't mean to imitate the boss's style, he was such a person.

Just ten minutes before Forest's bus left the City Stadium, Chelsea's blue bus had just left. Mourinho refused all interviews with reporters, and as a loser, he left in a hurry with his team, thinking that he would come and take revenge.

A BBC TV reporter stood in the square of the city stadium and said into the camera lens: "Brian. Clough may be gone, but the subject is left with a topic that we can talk about for a long time - who is his real successor? Jose. Mourinho or Toney. Dawn? I think the battle between these two will be an indispensable part of the league for a long time to come. The league is going to be a good sight......"

※※※ As for who is Clough's real successor, the debate continued the next day. The local media in Nottingham certainly favoured Donne, while the media in London were not interested in the title, but the media in other regions followed suit, and Mourinho was indeed closer to one of England's most successful homegrown coaches in terms of achievements.

Don had no interest in such arguments, and he didn't even update his column at such times. To the disappointment of the owner of the Nottingham Evening Post, it would have been a good topic to draw attention to, and if more readers could have participated in the interactive discussion, the newspaper's sales would have climbed...... It's a pity to see such an opportunity slip away from his eyes, and the boss of the Corriere della Sera can't do anything yet.

Such a coach with the surname Ge is not something he can command - I am afraid that the person who can command Don in this world has not yet been born.

What's more, when the two parties signed the contract, there was no mandatory number of submissions for Donne, and Don had full freedom in terms of whether to write a column or not, and when to write a column.

On the second day of the game, the team has a full day off, and the players don't have to train, so they have plenty of time to rest at home or hang out with friends.

Don got up and frowned when he saw Don watching the video again.

Although the weather outside today is not a sunny day, it is not good for Mr. Tang to stay at home like this and not contact people. He leaned over and found that Don was watching the youth team game tape - by the way, Don didn't have game tapes or training videos when he was on the youth team. But after Tang entered the youth team, when he chatted with Donne, he talked about why Ajax's youth training level is high, and it is related to the fact that they have to record it at any time during training so that they can review and analyze it later. That chat touched Donne, who took Don to Evan and proposed to him to add more modern settings to the academy and implement a more modern training model. Of course, he did not forget to emphasize many times that this set of ideas was proposed by the Chinese next to him. Evan agreed to Donn's suggestion, and the Forest's tradition of prioritizing youth development continued and flourished.

"Hey, Don, you otaku. Don't stay at home, go out with me! Don stood behind Don and said to Don as he washed his face.

"Otaku?" Don looked back at Don.

"You've been in China for so long and haven't you heard the word?"

Don shook his head, and Don reacted. In China in 2004, the word "home" was far less popular than it was in 2007. "Well, it means to focus too much on one thing, always stay at home, and don't go out and interact with people. It's not a healthy way to live...... You see, in addition to going to work at the training base, you watch these videos at home. He pointed to the pile of tapes scattered on the floor.

Before Tang came, Tang En's living room was always kept tidy because Yang Yan would come to class. It is now occupied by videos of various names: videos of the first team of Forest, videos of youth team training and games, videos of the matches of the English Premier League teams, videos of the Champions League, videos of the UEFA Cup games, videos of the national team games...... In short, you can see all the footage you can get your hands on here. Even Don En himself didn't know where these suddenly extra videotapes came from, and he had to sigh at Don's strength.

Tang turned his head to look at the TV screen, then pressed the pause button on the remote control, and continued, "What are you going out to buy?" ”

Don shrugged: "Don't buy anything." ”

"Why go out if you don't buy it?"

"Can't you go out without buying something? Go out for a breath of fresh air, go out and meet new people, you see how bright the sky is outside! Donn pointed to the gray sky outside the window and opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Tang Ke looked out the window obediently, and he looked at the TV screen again: "This is not in the plan. ”

Don strode over to the TV, and then turned off the power: "Write your life into the planner and follow it step by step, haven't you had enough of this?" If everything is planned, there will be a lot of surprises in life! Do you even have to plan for you to go to the toilet? Let's go, let's go. ”

In the end, Don finally succeeded in pulling the otaku Don out of the house.

"There is an old Chinese saying that you combine work and rest, haven't you ever heard it?" Don stood at the door and looked at Don coming out of the house and said happily.

Don was oblivious to Done's excitement, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Where are we going?" ”

"Lively place." Don opened his hand.

※※※ George. Wood, unlike the other boys, doesn't averse to shopping. He almost never slept and on the morning of the second day of the game, when the other players were still in bed and did not want to get up, he had already gone out shopping with his mother.

Because of Donn's relationship with Dr. Constantine, the Forest Club contacted the Royal College of Medicine of the University of Nottingham to treat Sophia. Now half a year has passed, I have undergone a major surgery, and then I have been in the stage of slowly recuperating and recuperating my body.

Don rarely bothered Sophia. He only heard some scattered news from Konstantin, and it was said that the effect of the operation was okay, but he still had to have several surgeries in the future to continue the treatment.

Don didn't know much about medicine, but Constantine was relieved to tell him that Sophia's health was slowly improving...... He really didn't want to attend his third funeral in England.

Although he has become the main defender of the Forest team, playing better and better game by game, Wood has not learned how to be a star. When he went out shopping with his mother, he wore ordinary clothes, neither sunglasses nor a hat with a low brim. He was dressed the way he used to be, and he still wears it now.

Nottingham Forest's main midfielder is no different from any normal boy.

So when he was recognized and surrounded by the Forest's die-hard fans in the heart of the downtown area, Wood, who had not yet learned how to be a star, seemed a little overwhelmed and even a little nervous, and he kept himself in front of his mother. Living in those chaotic places for a long time made him almost instinctive.

"Look, it's Wood!"

"Wood! Wood! ”

The more attentive these fans became, the more nervous Wood became. Sophia, who was behind him, smiled at the scene, and she gently stroked Wood's back and reminded her son softly, "Don't worry, George, they may just be showing affection for you." Laugh, smile at them. ”

It was hard to make Wood laugh in such a situation, but his body wasn't as stiff as it had been.

Some fans took out a pen and paper and asked Wood to sign for them, and at the reminder of his mother, Wood took the pen and wrote his name on the paper. Unlike other celebrities, his signature is not fancy at all, crooked, and looks like a child who has just learned to write.

But the fans didn't care, and got Wood's autograph and left happily.

After satisfying several of the same demands, the crowd around Wood finally dispersed. The beads of sweat on Wood's forehead came out, and Sophia looked at her son and lovingly wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead. "You have to get used to it, George. You're a big star now. ”

Faced with his mother's compliment, Wood was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, a well-dressed middle-aged man appeared in front of Wood. He first bowed politely to Sophia. Although I don't know why, Sophia still changed the gift.

Next, the gentleman turned to Wood to the side, and showed a smile that was enough to make the eyes of the surrounding women starry, and he said, "Son, are you interested in entering the entertainment industry?" ”

If this is asked to any girl or handsome guy, you may be able to get an affirmative answer that you can't wait. But George. Wood and his mother, Sophia, reacted at first to think they had misheard.

*※※ Don and Don walked down the busy street, the former was in high spirits because he won Mourinho, and the latter felt that this meaningless and purposeless walk was a waste of time.

and George. Like Wood, Don doesn't like to disguise himself in public, so while he wears sunglasses in places, he never wears them when he's out playing. As a result, he will always be recognized, and George. Wood's fans are different, Donne's supporters are obviously older, and they are not as fanatical as young fans, and when they see Donn, they just raise their hands to say hello, and Donn will return the salute.

It's as if two friends met each other on the street.

"Look, Don, how nice that is." Don had just sent off a Forest fan when he turned to Don and said. "Have you ever heard of 'man in a suit'? You're almost like that. You want to communicate with all kinds of people, reach out to more people, do you want to be a good coach? This is an essential quality! ”

Don would always babble in front of Don, and Don had long been used to it, so he was always silent, that is, he didn't say anything good, nor did he say anything bad, and Don was also used to it, and he continued to chatter, and thought that Don would listen a little bit anyway.

As the saying goes, a little adds up...... Just in the chatter of Tony. As Don and the taciturn Don walked to the front of the Victoria shopping mall, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd...... No, two familiar figures.

George. Wood and Sophia, as well as a middle-aged man who was initially ignored by him, but quickly caught his eye.

With his back to Wood and Sophia, Don suddenly wanted to eavesdrop on what the three were saying. So he made a gesture to Don, and quietly leaned in.

Then, he heard the man across from him say to Wood, "You think your appearance and temperament are very suitable for the development of showbiz." Don't you want to think about it? ”

It turned out to be digging a corner!

"That's not going to work, sir." Don couldn't help but speak, but startled Sophia in front of him.

"Mr. Donn?!" The woman's voice was full of surprise.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry I haven't been visiting you, it seems that you are recovering well." Don greeted with a smile, and then he stepped forward and stood between the man and Wood.

"If you're looking for a handsome guy to star in a reality show, I suggest you change your goals. He's my man. Donn pointed at Wood, who frowned, but Wood didn't say anything.

Seeing someone sticking in a cross, the middle-aged man turned his gaze to Donne, and after seeing Donne's dress, he also frowned, and then turned to Wood: "Kid, I think you really have that potential, you can try it, if not......"

Don, who was completely ignored, grinded his teeth.

"Do you need me to remind you again, sir? He's my man. Donn took a step sideways, completely in front of Wood. He is a regular player in the Nottingham Forest football team, a professional player, not some sissy little white face. You're looking for the wrong person. ”

Now the middle-aged man could no longer ignore Donn, he frowned and said, "I don't think football players can't be movie stars and models." ”

"Maybe someone else can, but with me...... It just doesn't work! ”

The two of them got married.

"Maybe we should listen to this kid." The man seemed to know that the man standing in front of him was tough, so he decided to bypass him.

Donn was tempted to answer "I'm Wood's head coach and I have the right to decide this", but on second thought, let Wood answer that question, and he'd love to hear what the kid thinks about football.

Wood looked at his mother, who was staring intently at the head coach, then at Donn, who was in front of him, and then shook his head at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared: "I like to play football. ”

Hearing Wood say this, Donne, who turned his back to him and faced the middle-aged man, smiled: "Okay, this gentleman, you got the answer you wanted." ”

The man sighed: "What a pity...... I'm sorry to bother you. Goodbye ma'am. He didn't forget to say goodbye to Sophia, but Don waved at him: "Slow down and don't send it." ”

The other man glared at Donne, then handed Wood a business card: "This is my business card, if you change your mind, you are welcome to come to me at any time, kid." ”

Seeing Wood take the card, he turned to leave.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Donne, "I will not give up." ”

"That's not up to you." Don shrugged.
