Nottingham Forest's plane did not fly directly to Birmingham Airport, but landed at London Heathrow. In fact, not many players came back with the team this time, and most of the players who had national team play tasks parted ways with the team at Monaco.

Only five of the five who were named in the England squad returned to England with the squad. They then parted ways with the team in London and rushed to A.T. Kearney in North London. It was usually Arsenal's training base and is now dedicated to the national team.

As they parted ways at the airport, Flores looked at the five people who had come together and suddenly felt that he should try to expand his influence in the locker room. Now in the dressing room, the players prefer to talk about Toney. Donn, not himself. This made him a little surprised.

So he went up, tapped Bentley on the shoulder, and said to them in his not very good English, "Lads, be careful not to get hurt." ”

Such words of concern are not received in response with the kindness they deserve. The England internationals who were chatting looked back at their manager and didn't respond.

Even Wood looked at Flores with a blank face, a little impolite.

Or Joe. Mattok, the youngest international player, broke the embarrassment with a smile: "We'll take note, boss. ”

Then the group turned around and came together, muttering something unbelievable.

Flores, who felt embarrassed, was embarrassed to stand here if they were discussing some ** topic...... Standing here as a manager would be considered eavesdropping, which would be detrimental to managing the dressing room. The players have their own little secrets that they don't want the manager to know.

He walked away and went back to his side.

Chris Rac saw it all. In his heart, he felt that Flores was so pitiful. Because it was himself who had just inadvertently brought Flores and Tony. Don put it together for comparison. At the time, he was thinking that if it was Tony, then the group of players would be happy to let him join the discussion and joke unbridledly. provoked the attention of the surrounding people.

This was the norm for the Forest team before.

Now it's a distant memory. The current Forest team looks harmonious on the surface, because of the recent results, and the players have also said in interviews that Flores is a quality coach, and the team has received a lot less negative press than in the previous three months.

But the timing of the test is never easy, and if something goes wrong with the team's results, both Flores and the Forest will be under intense pressure. The media and fans who are ready to stir up will be happy to put Tony. Don summoned again, reminiscing about the glory days of the past.

Tony. While Donn fashioned himself as the king of the team, he also became a sword of Damocles over the team's head.

It's ironic.

Want to get the Forest team rid of Tony completely. Donn's influence. I'm afraid one season is not enough......

Once Flores was back in his seat, the players resumed their conversation. They were really talking about Donn, and everyone except Wood was looking forward to and excited about this reunion - after more than three months, he was finally able to play under the boss again!

"I'm going to give the boss a hug!" Aron. Mitchel couldn't wait to announce. Just like Pepe did in the dressing room. He still regrets letting Pepe steal the limelight in the first place. "As an apology! Apologize as I once doubted him! ”

"Alright, Aron. You don't have to shout so loudly, do you want the world to know that you were sorry for your boss? Bentley felt that Mitchel was like a kid at times.

Mitchel's voice was a little quieter, and he muttered, "I've got to give the boss a hug anyway." ”

"Speaking ......," Bentley touched his chin. "When the boss was still around, I didn't think it was a good thing to listen to him talk in the dressing room. But it's only been three months, and I suddenly miss him in the dressing room......"

"Hey, do you think the boss will take special care of us?" Joe. Mattok suddenly asked such a question, leaving everyone stunned.

Originally, Mattok was a fringe figure in the national team. In front of him was Ashley. Cole and Layton. Barnes and Lescott can also play at left-back. If not Ashley. Kerr didn't have a good injury, and he may not even be able to make the squad this time. Mattok feels that he was selected for the national team because of his identity as a "Forest player". It's good to be selected for the national team, but if it's for that reason...... I'm afraid that I will carry a heavy burden on my back.

"I don't think so. The boss is not the kind of manager who treats certain people specially. Bentley dismissed Mattok's idea. "Besides, if we are given special care, how will the media outside attack him?"

Abang Laho shrugged: "Not necessarily. The boss is a very special person, he never cares about what the media says, he even likes to work against the media. I think the leader is a person who loves and hates, and as long as we play well, I think we have a good chance of starting! ”

George. Wood didn't want to join the discussion because he found the topic too boring. But he was dragged in by Mitchel, who was still like a child.

"George. What do you think? ”

For a moment, the arguments were gone, and everyone turned their heads to look at him.

Against his agent, the media, and even the man, Wood can put on a stinky face that no one wants to deal with. But he can't do that to his teammates, to his teammates.

"I ...... I agree with David. Wood pointed to Bentley. Kicked the soccer ball back.

Everyone knows that Wood is not the kind of person who talks a lot. See that he gave his opinion. I didn't do much pestering.

The group chatted for a while and got ready to get in the car and set off.

Mitchel is still a little unsatisfied. He let out a long sigh: "Reunite with the leader in the national team." I never thought about it before......"

The remark touched the reality that Donn was no longer in the Forest team. Suddenly, everyone was not interested in continuing to talk.

So he didn't say a word all the way, and came to Kearney in silence.

A.T. Kearney is based in Hertfordshire, just a forty-five minute drive from Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. It is now the training base for the England national team. Arsenal's first team has three training grounds, all of which are now used by the national team. Those who do not have a national team to play in the first team train with the second team. Don't worry about what burden you're putting on the second-tier team. In a team like Arsenal, even the substitutes in the first team are internationals in their respective countries, so there are very few people left here, and there may only be players with injuries.

The training base covers 143 acres, 45 of which are forested. The environment is very good, there are no high-rise buildings around, the view is wide and the air is fresh. It's like a paradise in peace. Training in a place like this is a pleasure and compared to A.T. Kearney, Nottingham Forest's Wilford are a lot more stingy. And no wonder Evan. Dogotti plans to build a new training base. It seems that he intends to fully reach the "giant" level in hardware.

A.T. Kearney is the best training ground in the whole of the UK. Dogetty envisioned that if the new training base in Middle-earth were built, A.T. Kearney would be the runner-up. So far, no other training base has been able to shake its position.

Each of the 10 standard pitches is equipped with underground drainage and an automated sprinkler system, and two of them are also heated underground, so you don't have to worry about outdoor training even when it's snowing.

And because of this. The English Football Association has chosen A.T. Kearney as the designated training base for the England team.

By the time Wood's group of five arrived in Kearney, England had just finished their morning of training and the players were returning to the dressing room, with only a handful of people being stopped outside by the media for interviews.

Their presence attracted the attention of the media present. If it weren't for the fact that they were interviewing the players, they would have pounced.

It was at this time. Des. Walker appears somewhere in between, intercepting them.

"Tony wants to meet you. He said to Wood.

Bentley whistled in the back. said that he was seeing them, but in fact, he knew that he was just going to see Wood.

"Put your stuff in the dorm room and come here. ”

Wood didn't ask, "Where is the dorm?" Where is he?" is such an idiotic question, it is not the first time he has come to the national team to participate in a training camp. He grabbed his suitcase and turned away with his teammates.

The photojournalist chased after him and took more than a dozen photos before stopping.

"Now the national team is all in place. Hey, I have the inside information......" After the interview, several reporters got together to chat.

Hearing him say this, the others immediately became interested. Because this reporter is from The Sun.

"George. Wood and Tony. Don has contradictions! The reporter said mysteriously. He was afraid that these people would use it as his own inside information. Because the Sun has already decided to report the news in tomorrow's paper. It was sent out until Wood came to the national team, so that it would be more effective.

"Huh? Really? ”

"Wouldn't it? Didn't they say that they were like father and son? ”

"Wood was dug up by Donne, and it's said that Donn had an unclear relationship with his mother......"

The reporters were taken aback.

The response to the reporter was very satisfying.

"What's impossible? Didn't Cassano in Italy see Capello as his father at the beginning? The result? Isn't it a turn against each other? The Sun reporter slapped his face. "It's not good that in the national team, the relationship between Wood and Don will be a ticking time bomb. Now Wood is playing an increasingly important role in the team. It has become a barometer of the team's results. He's in good shape, and the team is doing well; He's not in good shape...... Capello is a case in point. ”

The Sun's reporter laughed.

Everybody understands his performance. Because Don and Sun Bao have a feud, the two sides don't like each other, and they have to spit on each other when they seize the opportunity.

Thinking of this relationship, some reporters suddenly felt that the Sun was deliberately having trouble with Donne this time, and the credibility of the rumor that Wood and Done were at odds suddenly dropped by fifty percent.

The Sun reporter could see that some people were suspicious of him. He didn't defend either, he just said, "Hey, we'll see!" ”

The journalists were kept in the dark. They have paparazzi all over England. Ensure that the materials obtained are the most authentic, fresh and confidential!

As soon as the newspaper comes out tomorrow, let Tony. Don look!

George. Wood led his teammates to knock on the door of Donn's makeshift office.

Donn and Chrislak were talking and laughing inside.

When five players from Nottingham Forest were seen in front of them. Don stood up from his seat and walked over to them with open arms.

"Welcome, guys. ”

Originally, Wood was at the front, and if they wanted to hug them, they would be the first to hug each other. But Aaron. Fearing that he would not be able to fulfill his promise, Mitchel suddenly struck out from behind and faced Donn with open arms.

"Boss!" He exclaimed excitedly, and hugged Donn.

Donn didn't let anyone see the change in the expression on his face - he had planned to take this opportunity to hug Wood and soften his attitude first, but he didn't expect Mitchel, an excited boy, to run out first. I had to make a mistake a mistake......

"Oh-tap, Aaron!" Don yelled. The excited Mitchel used his strength to hold Don in pain.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Chief! Mitchel quickly let go of his hands, a little panicked.

But Don looked at him with a smile as if he were looking at his own child.

"You're a little tired. He said.

"Not tired!" Mitchel shook his head vigorously.

Don smiled and didn't say anything. Patted him on the head, and then found a second person.

Bentley didn't give Don a hug like Mitchel did, just looked at Donne. "Long time no see, sir. ”

"You only saw me once half a month ago. ”

"It was ...... Opponent, this time is different. ”

The ones who greeted Bentley were Abang Lajo, Joe. Mattok.

Finally, it came to George. In front of Wood.

Donn's smile was gone, for there was no smile on Wood's face.

The atmosphere that had been harmonious just now suddenly became awkward.

The four teammates standing next to him tried not to look at the two of them, and their eyes were scurrying around to hide their embarrassment.

Don didn't know what to say. He reached out and just patted Wood on the shoulder, then let go.

Then he turned to the others: "There's a training session in the afternoon. Be careful not to get hurt. Go back and get some rest. ”

That's the end of the meeting.

After the players left, Chris Rac asked Donn a little strangely, "I thought you were going to leave George alone to say something." ”

"It's that big. Don was referring to the training base. "What news can be hidden? I don't want people to think I'm doing something special, it's not good for the team. ”

"Then George......" Walker was still worried that Wood would have other thoughts in mind.

"Of course I'll talk to him, but not now......"

Don muttered, his eyes wandering.
