Volume 4 The Storm Chapter 19 Donn's Taunt
Yu Tangen asked the security guards to drive away the reporters who were gathered outside the training ground, and it was not until the end of the training that they knew what happened from the apologies of the three teammates, and they didn't dare to whistle looking at the gloomy expression of the head coach Tangen.
Because the team will go to Amsterdam to challenge Porto, the first opponent in the invitational tournament the next day, so half a day after today's training, Don announced tomorrow's squad after the three of them publicly apologized.
Because it is a warm-up match, the restrictions on the number of substitutions are relatively relaxed, and both sides can change five players each in a game. So, in fact, this squad doesn't mean much, almost the whole team can go to the field.
However, today Tang En specially announced this list, which is to give a public warning to the three people who made mistakes, and at the same time, it is also a trick to kill chickens and monkeys.
In the list he announced, there is no Ashley. Yang, Aaron. Lennon and Gareth. Bell's name, the three parties had known it in advance, and there was no reaction to it. The rest of the team reacted to Donn's satisfaction.
"You can't play, but you can still go and watch the game." After reading the squad, Donn said to the three people standing outside the team. "Sometimes, watching a game from the stands is also a kind of training."
Handing the notebook to Chris Lak, Don left the training ground with another assistant coach, Don, and walked towards the makeshift press conference hall.
There, it was already crowded with impatient journalists.
Don hasn't come yet. The tiny "press conference hall" was already packed, with media from England, the Netherlands and elsewhere flocking to the venue because they had been promised by Donn that he would answer all questions after training.
But what else could be the problem? There is only one question that everyone wants to ask - the news that three Nottingham Forest players are suspected of *.
As an upstart in European football, isn't it interesting to have such a scandal? What's more, all three players are young.
Pierce. Bruce was also in the crowd, and he came early, so he took advantage of the favorable terrain - at the front. There are also chairs to sit on.
The small room was packed with people and buzzing. There was a lot of talk about what happened in Amsterdam's red light district last night, and speculation about how Coach Donn would deal with the embarrassing scandal at the press conference.
"I know Tony. What kind of person Don is, he likes to go against us. "An obese middle-aged man is talking in the crowd." We say one, and he says two. We say yes. He had to say no. He always didn't seem to want to make our work easier...... But this time, I'd like to see what else he has to say. The photos are here, and the real deal! He patted the stack of newspapers in his hand. We can post more photos as long as I want! ”
Bruce glanced at it, and the words "The Sun" on the newspaper were very eye-catching, and it turned out to be the Sun's notebook......
"You'd rather come out and take a look." Donn's voice suddenly sounded from the back door, and everyone immediately stopped talking and turned their eyes to Tony, the head coach of the Forest team who appeared at the venue. Dawn.
"This gentleman, you have such a loud voice. It's so noisy inside this room, I can still find your unusual one in the sound of a large number of flies flying outside. Donn pointed to the fat man standing in the crowd looking very abrupt.
Bruce stifled a laugh.
But someone didn't hold back. There was a burst of laughter. In the midst of the laughter, the Sun's reporter was red-faced. Get ready to sit down.
"Don't sit down, Mr. Ji. Let's start with you. Donn gestured as he was about to sit down. Didn't you just say that you were going to publish more photos? Great, I'm really looking forward to seeing more new and interesting photos. I suggest that the Sun do a special issue, and put out all the photos in your hands, so as not to irritate people. You know, if you think about it from a reading perspective...... Watching the serials is definitely not as comfortable as reading the whole book. ”
After saying this, he looked at the other party: "Do you have any questions to ask, Mr. Sun Newspaper?" ”
The fat man coughed. Get in your mood and decide to fight back. "Of course. Coach Donn. We wanted to know what you thought about the three players showing up there at night? Tomorrow is the game, and your men are going to the brothel......"
"I think it's normal." Don replied with a blank face. "It's a man who has that kind of physiological need, just like the newspaper notes that it's normal to go to the kiln at night. Those gentlemen in your newspaper are all married, right? ”
Laughter resumed.
This is the characteristic of the press conference with Don present, although I remember a lot, but there will never be such a person to ask questions, more people come to see how Don confronts the media, his expressions, his words, his actions...... It feels like you're watching a good show.
Therefore, not all media are on the opposite side of Donne, and some media are actually on Donn's side with the mentality of watching the excitement.
The Fat Man of the Sun was dumbfounded by Donne's rebuttal. That's right, this news was first disclosed by their newspaper, and it also has photos, which can be described as conclusive evidence, and Don can't deny it even if he wants to. Unexpectedly, Don didn't want to deny it at all, and after generously admitting it, he kicked the ball back to the Sun - my player went to *** last night, so what did the people from your newspaper run for?
"Alright. ' Nottingham Forest's three young players*' – that's what you guys say. Now it's my turn to ask......" Hearing Don say this, the notes here came to their senses. Tape recorders, microphones, notebooks, mobile phones, ...... All of them are in working condition.
"You say my people*, what about the evidence?"
Donn's rhetorical question stunned the Sun for a moment.
"Evidence? Aren't these photos true? He pointed to the newspaper in his hand.
Don smiled and smiled happily: "Catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, catch the traitor and catch the double." You say my people*, then please publish the pictures of them in bed* with prostitutes. ”
"This ......" The Sun newspaper reporter never imagined that Don would come back and deny the incident from this point of view. Who would follow them into a brothel and squat on the edge of the bed to take a sneak peek? Only one person is allowed to enter at a time, and the people in the back have to line up outside. No matter how good their memory is, they can't break through.
Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Don began to do his best to ridicule him.
"Alas, didn't the powerful Sun install camera cameras in every brothel in Amsterdam's red light district? It's a shame! He shook his head and sighed, as if he really felt sorry for it. The Sun, I was so disappointed! ”
There was a lot of laughter below.
Bruce wasn't worried about the impact of this incident anymore, and now he sat in his best place with his legs crossed and happily watching a movie - such as
Coke with popcorn is even better.
Of course, the opponent would not be so willing to humiliate Donn, and the fat man quickly found an angle to counterattack: "Nottingham Forest is a successful team, and the players are role models for young people in society, won't Mr. Donn worry about any bad effects caused by this incident?" ”
There is a lot of truth to that. Football stars are teenage idols, children like to imitate their idols' words and deeds and dress up, and idols do the right thing for better or worse. Stars do have an obligation to pay attention to the various effects of their words and actions on their fans, which is a social responsibility.
Unexpectedly, Don En was dismissive of this, he waved his hand: "Don't be kidding, going to the red light district for sightseeing will cause a bad impact?" So the country of the Netherlands can still exist in this world, Mr. Ji, will you be very angry? ”
"This ......" the other party again did not know how to respond.
"I want you to know something, Mr. Ji. Except for training and games, the rest of the time is for the players, and I don't have the right to interfere with what they want to do, and neither do you. If they go to that kind of place and have a bad impact, then where do you put your social responsibility by secretly filming and hyping it? "Don has been reading the Sun newspaper very unpleasantly, as long as possible, he will not let go of the opportunity to verbally humiliate the other party." Nobody wants this kind of thing to be made public, it's personal*. The Sun is very handy with the kind of thing that violates others*, and is also complacent. Do you want to seriously consider what kind of bad effect your practice has brought to thousands of suns? At the very least, I think my players are healthier than the third page girl of your newspaper, and they will have less bad influence on society. ”
Everyone can see that Don is determined to defend his players in front of the public, and even does not hesitate to say such heavy words, which is related to social responsibility and moral reflection.
In fact, this is a matter of knowing that the three Nottingham Forest players go to that kind of place is definitely not as simple as "sightseeing", but Donn just doesn't allow others to dictate his players. Gossip.
To criticize, to scold, he has already done it behind closed doors. It's not the turn of outsiders to take over.
"Someone who wants to criticize me here? I want to go back and tell your boss that I will talk about the third version of the girl after withdrawing it. ”
The Sun, of course, would not really follow Donn's "advice" and remove their pillar, the "third edition girl" with a fine tradition. By saying this, Don is telling The Sun that they are not qualified to be difficult in this matter.
It would have been a serious team crisis. stunned to let Don mix it up into a farce that made people laugh and cry.
Don appeared at the press conference with Don, but no one noticed him, and he sat next to Don all the time, never saying a word, not even making a sound, as if he were a sculpture.
He should be glad that what he feared turned out to be like this. But looking at Don's way of dealing with it, how can he not agree...... This man is passing on the bad influence that he can have on the team.
Now the media is all focused on Tony. At the top of the battle between Donn and The Sun, who cares about the "scandal" of the three Forest players last night?
He scolded and worked against the media. Provoke the opponent and reprimand the referee. and even turned against UEFA...... It's because I want to be famous, because I want to be a "news person". Do you enjoy the "honor" of being on the front page of the newspaper? No matter what people think, Don doesn't think so. The man next to him was just trying to turn the pressure on the players so that they could leave all their baggage behind and focus on training and playing.
But in doing so, the pressure on me can only increase......
Where is a manager doing that? It's just a job, can you afford it, Tony?
"Alright, Mr. Chronicle of The Sun, you can sit down now. It's nothing to do with you. Don waved his hand at the fat sweaty man and motioned for him to sit down. Then he looked at Bruce, who was sitting in the front row. "Who has any problems?"
The hint was obvious, and Bruce raised his hand to his feet and began to ask about tomorrow's game, the Forest's arrangements.
The two sang and harmonized, and the topic was successfully shifted.
The media were already satisfied after seeing the wonderful show of Donn vs. Sun. Really, it doesn't really matter whether those three people are prostitutes or not, that's what we want to see...... Has there ever been a head coach before Donn who has been so-for-tat with a media outlet with a wide reach? The ridicule and ridicule that don't give face at all, and the scolding that hides a knife in the smile without dirty words, is much more newsworthy than *.
After drinking a bottle of mineral water, the press conference ended. The satisfied expressions on the faces of the reporters dissipated, and the Warrendam training base in the deep twilight was gradually changing from bustle to desertion.
Club staff were removing chairs from the makeshift press room, while Don and Don sat on the table. Let others be busy around them, and there is no intention of getting up and leaving the place.
"Tired, aren't you?" Don asked.
Don shook his head: "No, how can it be...... Dealing with these paparazzi, Lao Tzu is the best at it and the most energetic. But the posture of leaning back in the chair had betrayed him.
Don grinned and didn't debunk it.
"Don't you believe it?" Tang En looked sideways at Don, "When I scolded that dead fat man, I had a great sense of accomplishment and pleasure!" Especially when I saw him speechless bear-like...... Ha ha! He laughed hoarsely.
"Well, tomorrow you will be in the Sun newspaper, and then you will be criticized. All of England will know what you've done. Don nodded in agreement.
"Who cares! They criticized me, and I had a lot of hairs, and I didn't make a penny. I'm not responsible for the perception of people I don't care about. Don had a dry mouth and wanted to drink water, but when he reached over the bottle, it was empty.
He threw the water bottle out, and the empty bottle fell into the trash can that the cleaner had pulled over.
"Let's go, let's eat, I'm hungry!" Don stood up.
Don really wanted to say to Don En, you have a sense of accomplishment when you look like a bear, and you have a lot of pleasure when you scold others. But maybe that's what the other party wants to see, and maybe the other party also has a sense of accomplishment when you scold with pleasure? Because he got the news that was exciting.
Looking at Don's back, he still didn't say anything, just stood up, and the two left here side by side.
"I was expecting you to be in a fit of rage and take Ashley. Yang sold it. ”
"Don, give young people room to make mistakes, you have to allow them to make mistakes. Who hasn't been young and impulsive? ”
