Three games in a row, three goals in a row. Anelka's performance caught the attention of the media. Although these media may not have a good impression of Anelka's two agent brothers, they can't ignore Anelka's swing. The return of a prodigal son is the most hyped topic in the English league lately.

So, on the sidelines of the Forest team's training ground, there were more reporters, and those flies flew back.

Looking at those reporters who were pestering Anelka, Don suddenly felt that Anelka's two brothers did a good job, 40,000 pounds for an interview, this price can indeed scare away many people. He rubbed his chin and wondered if he should set himself a price of 100,000 pounds to make his life quieter. With his success at the Forest team, more and more people are looking to interview and reach out to Donne.

Don doesn't reject media interviews, but if you want to chase him to his house and block the door of his house for interviews, he can't accept it.

That's all there is to Anelka, and Don doesn't plan to worry too much about anything. The French striker is a man who has been in professional football for many years, and there are some things he must know in his heart.

Anyway, I made it very clear - in my case, you have to work hard, and you have to work hard to get a lot of money. But if you don't want to work hard and want to leave, I will never force you to stay.

In fact, what he and Anelka said that day was to put it another way - I don't care if you leave or stay.

Anelka is different from other players, Don doesn't need this man to be loyal to him because he was never in his own plans, he doesn't need Anelka to like him, he just needs Anelka to score for him.

What made him even more concerned was the trouble of another person.

George Wood encountered the most important problem of his nineteen years of life.

He thinks he should be a little different from his old self, in training, in the dressing room, in games...... They should do something that they have never done before and have not paid attention to.

But he didn't know how.

Because he's the captain, even though he's only acting, he's also the captain.

Because he wore the captain's armband. He needs to be different.

To be honest, it was a bit difficult to ask him to do that......

When Albertini is on the ground, whether in training, in the dressing room or on the playing field, he makes his team-mates feel his presence as captain.

George Wood doesn't have that ability at all, training, dressing rooms, games, more often than not, they don't feel like they have a captain around.

Although no one openly complains about these. But Don could still see some signs of it, and he believed Wood could see that he wasn't stupid.

He felt he had to intervene in this matter. It was he who gave the captain's armband to Wood, and he was obliged to give Wood a hand when he was in trouble, otherwise he could have given the captain's armband to Van der Sar, or someone else.

While the team was training, Donn slipped back to his office and made a phone call to George Wood's home on his landline.

The person who received the call was Wood's mom Sophia, and she was pleasantly surprised to hear Donne's voice: "Mr. Donne! ”

Don always didn't know how to deal with Sophia, who was becoming more and more enthusiastic, so he rarely contacted her now. However, it may be better for Wood's affairs to be handled by his mother.

"Hello, ma'am, are you feeling better?"

"It's a lot better."

"That's great."

"Is there anything going on, Mr. Donn?" Sophia could hear that Don was at a loss for words, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Uh, ma'am. Did Wood come home recently and tell you about his situation on the team? ”

"I said, he said he was the captain." Sophia laughed. She is proud of her son.

"That's right, this new captain has been in a bit of trouble lately......" Donn said of the matter...... Wood listened to his mother the most, and he asked for your help. ”

Sophia was silent for a moment on the other side of the phone, then nodded, "Okay, I see." Rest assured. Mr. Donn. I know my son. I know what to do. ”

"Thank you so much, ma'am."

"Thank you to me, Mr. Donne. If you hadn't allowed him to train with the Forest team, how could George be where he is today? ”

Downe laughed as he recalled his first season in charge of Forest, when he met George Wood in the middle of the cold season, and the kid said to himself, "I think you should sign the best player in England", as if he were reciting lines. Wood himself must have known what England's best player was like at the time, but now he's getting closer to that goal.

After thanking me again. Don ended Sophia's call and returned to the training ground. Stand on the sidelines again and observe quietly.

Wood was working harder, harder than usual, and he seemed to want to do the training volume of two by himself. But this simple and crude method did not completely affect his teammates, because he has been working so hard, always working so hard, everyone has long been accustomed to it.

This kid is a bit of a no-brainer. Don shook his head secretly.

Let's see what Sophia can do.

The day's training was over, and Wood sulked back to the locker room to shower and change clothes, and then walked away alone.

He felt that today was as bad as any other day, that he had not accomplished anything, that this captain had failed too much. He even began to wonder what Don had decided to make him captain for, and he felt that he was completely unfit to be the captain. Although he admired Demi and learned something from Demy, he didn't think he could be a captain like Demy.

He wears a smile on his face all day long, and he treats everyone like an old friend who has known each other for many years...... It was too hard for George Wood.

Wood only smiles when he comes home to his mother's smiling face. Because his mother always smiled at him, watching him smile, it was difficult for him to make a straight face. In addition, the mother's smile is kind, without a trace of impurities, pure laughter. It wasn't the same as the smiling he'd seen outside. This kind of smile can make him completely at ease.

Mother and son were cooking dinner together in the kitchen, and Sophia seemed to suddenly remember something, and while she was busy with the work in her hands, she casually said, "That's right, George." When you come back from Spain, I'd like to invite someone to dinner. ”

Wood was a little surprised, his mother was not in good health, and except for the agent Woolks, who occasionally came to report to Wood about his work, and Donn, he didn't receive any guests at home. Today, his mother suddenly took the initiative to invite someone to dinner, and he couldn't help but be surprised, he turned his head to look at his mother.

Mom pointed to the soup pot: "Stir it." ”

Wood obediently picked up the spoon and stirred it in the soup.

"Well, aren't you the captain?" Mom smiled, "I think we have to thank a few people, so I want to invite your teacher to come to the house for dinner." ”

"Demi?" Wood didn't expect his mother to think of inviting him.

Sophia nodded: "He has helped you a lot, and I want to thank him in person." ”

Although I was surprised, what my mother said was also reasonable. Wood did not object.

"Also...... I'd also like to invite Mr. Donn to come along. ”

Wood turned his head to look at his mother again, and Sophia was busy with her work with her head down, as if she hadn't said anything before.

"Oh, good. I'll tell him. Wood nodded in agreement.
