The Sun decided to expose the conflict between Donn and Wood in order to get ahead of the increasingly intense news war. The media at Stamford Bridge are more concerned about whether their John Terry can keep the captain's armband for the England national team.

As is customary, every new head coach will announce the captain when the team is officially assembled. Some coaches will choose to continue the captain and vice captain of the previous national team in order to stabilize the team, but there are also many coaches who will re-choose the captain they prefer, or think it is more suitable.

For example, after David Beckham stepped down, John Beckham. John Terry captained England and Steven Gerrard became vice-captain.

Liverpool's media are also concerned about who will wear the captain's armband. They hoped that Don would correct Gerald.

Nottingham Forest's local media are working for George. Wood shouted.

In fact, in terms of seniority and influence, Wood is the least advantageous candidate, and most neutral media believe that Terry and Gerrard should continue to serve as captains and vice-captains of the team. After all, if Donn wants to keep his team stable, then the sensitive role of captain shouldn't change.

In fact, Donn is indeed very cautious about the captaincy, Terry and Gerrard are both influential figures in English football, and if you are not careful, it can cause a big mess.

He decided to talk to Terry and Gerrard.

John Terry and Steven Gerrard both spoke to Don about their desire to continue captaining the team, believing it a great honour to wear the captain's armband for the national team.

Don understands this idea, but he can't support it.

Because after he came to power, he had to completely tear down and rebuild, and the previous England national team could not be used - including the captain.

In other words, in the national team, it is time for "time to change the dynasty".

If Don wants to re-establish an order, then changing the captain is the first step.

He told the two men what he had envisioned. Frankly admitting that the two of them are a little old, and he needs a local man who can be the captain of the team for a long time.

John Terry and Steven Gerrard both know what the new manager is up to.

Being removed from the captain's armband will definitely make them unhappy. However, in England, there is a long-standing tradition that the manager is the biggest, and no one dares to go against the manager, not even the national team. It is not uncommon to see players rallying around the manager and going against the English FA.

If it had been in another country, Donn's series of actions would have caused him to fall into the quagmire of repeated dismissals. Not to mention any team achievements, let alone coach the national team.

Donn hopes that John Terry and Steven Gerrard, as veteran national team players, can serve as role models for the stability of the team.

It's all on this, what if you don't accept it? Quitting the national team in a fit of rage? Although it has not been a few years since they said goodbye to the national team in terms of age, it is clear that neither man wants to leave in such a disgraceful way. Tony. Donn does have the ability to win titles, while the England national team has won nothing for years. They also hope to follow the coach who is destined for the championship trophy and has a long-cherished wish.

Twelve trophies in eleven years, Tony. Don does deserve to be strong in front of them.

So both said they would follow the manager's arrangement.

The biggest obstacle was over, and Don let out a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the stability of the team, he wouldn't have been in such trouble. As for what the media says about him, it doesn't matter, as long as the players understand him. It is enough to know what is going on.

The afternoon training session was the first full-time training session in England, and before the start of training, Donn was to announce the team's new captain.

Terry and Gerald's expressions were a little out of sorts. His eyes flickered, as if he was hiding from someone else. They already knew in advance that the captain's armband would not be kept.

And George, who didn't know anything about it. After Wood finished his warm-up, he was called up by the assistant coach to take Donn out for a lecture.

It was a sunny afternoon, and Done appeared wearing his Ray-Ban sunglasses.

"Good afternoon, guys. I hope you all got a good nap. Because training in the afternoon is not easy. Don raised his hand to greet everyone, and then he stepped into the crowd and stood in the middle of the circle.

"As is customary, we have to announce the new captain and vice-captain of the national team. ”

The Chelsea players turned their heads to look at John Terry. Liverpool looked at Steven Gerrard, with Forest naturally looking at Wood.

The players from other clubs are not very interested in this, and it will definitely not fall on them anyway. Everyone tacitly assumes that these three are the most qualified to be captains. John Terry is a veteran captain of England, having captained him for eight years since 2006, and his results are in the eyes of everyone. Steven Gerrard has also been vice-captain, wearing the captain's armband in John Terry's absence, and is widely regarded as the most leading England player. Liverpool's media have always considered him more qualified than John Terry to be the captain. George. Wood has captained England's most successful domestic team in recent years. He is also widely regarded as the most masculine English player and is a model for all English professional players.

But George. Wood's advantage is that he's younger. Twenty-eight years old this year, which is the golden age.

Don looked at everyone's reactions, and they were all expected by him. If he doesn't get Terry and Gerrard in the first place, then he'll be at risk once the results are announced. It's okay now, he knows that the two of them are supporting him, and he has nothing to fear.

"George. Wood and John. John Terry will serve as the team's vice-captain. "Don was very simple but very clear to throw out the candidates.

There was a small commotion in the team. There was a palpable look of disappointment on Liverpool's faces and there was some surprise in the Chelsea camp as their captain turned into vice-captain.

It was Nottingham Forest that was the first to burst into applause congratulating the new captain.

Then, regardless of what everyone was thinking at the moment, everyone applauded and congratulated George. Wood and John. Terry.

Gerrard was a little disappointed because he didn't even keep the vice-captain. But who made him the oldest of the three? He was thirty-four years old, and Terry wouldn't turn thirty-four until the end of the year. Centre-backs are always more likely to play longer than midfielders. Even if they can't run, the manager still wants to rely on the experience of an old centre-back. How long has Cannavaro been in Italy? At the age of thirty-seven, he is still representing Italy in the World Cup in South Africa! And it's really hard for each team's midfielder to find a veteran over the age of 35.

Gerrard is trying to stay in shape, he just doesn't want to be sidelined from the national team too early. Because he knew that there was a large group of good players chasing after him, George. Wood is one of them.

Truth be told, Gerrard wasn't jealous of Wood getting the captain's armband. It is normal for two people to have a "sympathetic" relationship in the Premier League confrontation for many years, not to mention that Wood is indeed excellent.

To the astonishment, it was Wood himself. There was a rare change in expression on his face - his eyes widened and his mouth opened, looking at Don in disbelief.

Don looked at him with a smile. For the first time in a long time, he had seen Wood's true emotions unfold, if only in surprise. He was delighted.

"George. He called Wood's name and motioned for him to come forward and accept the captain's armband.

Wood walked out of the crowd a little sloppily, and he hadn't reacted yet. The Forest players slapped hard in the back and whistled and cheered.

Donne pulled Woodra to his side and said to the players: "I have to explain to you why I chose George. In the summer transfer period that just passed, there was a lot of talk about George. Wood has the most transfer rumours in all of England. The Forest team is in a quagmire, and their standard-bearers are being seduced by countless giants. But in the end, what we saw was that George chose to stay with the Forest team. It has proved with practical actions that in today's football, there is still 'loyalty'. ”

Speaking of the Nottingham Woodlands affair, Donn's tone is calm now, as if he is talking about a team that has nothing to do with him.

'As a captain of Nottingham Forest for seven years, I think he is fully capable and qualified to captain England. I am grateful to John and Stephen for all they have contributed and for understanding this decision. He looked at Terry and Gerrard again. As a result, the players of Chelsea and Liverpool understood that Donn had taken them alone.

The two of them forced a smile. The captain's armband was lifted in this way. Who let Wood spend the most time with Donn? Who made Done just bullish Wood? People say Tony. Don is George. Wood's father, his own father became the head coach of the national team, how could his son not have some special treatment?

In fact, Don is putting pressure on Woodland - everyone knows about his intimate relationship with himself, even if there are recent rumors that the two have fallen out. He couldn't stop speculation that Wood had become captain of the Three Lions because of his special concern for himself.

But Donn believes in Wood's ability to handle the pressure. The pressure at Nottingham Forest is no less than in England. And Wood is also known as "St. George" by England fans, which is a condition in Wood's captaincy.

Donn didn't want to deny his intention to build a New England team with Wood as the core. Wood's new captain is just the first step, and he will be implementing those plans gradually in the coming games. Those familiar ground holes may slowly fade out, and the time for renewal has come.

He's going to build an England team that's all his own, clean up the legacy of his predecessor, and make this team completely listen to him and play for him. That's the only way. He is confident of winning the European Championship.

After explaining the reason, Donn personally put the captain's armband on Wood, and then patted his left arm, which was wearing the armband.

"But I warn you, George. The armband is not permanent. If you don't perform up to my expectations and can't take on the responsibility of a captain, I won't hesitate to take it off. He pointed to the armband.

Wood didn't answer him.

"Let's start training!"

Donn handed the stage to the assistant coach and the other coaches. He retreated to the sidelines.

Forest's team-mates stepped forward to congratulate Wood, who responded flatly. Terry and Gerald also stepped forward to congratulate him, and the others followed him and patted Wood on the shoulder and head. The atmosphere seems to be very congenial.

Done knew it was for himself and for Wood. It's a daunting challenge.

Wood captained the Forest. Thanks to Albertini's words and deeds, and his own attention. Thus establishing the fact that he was the captain of the Forest team step by step. After a long period of contact with his teammates, he was also infected by Wood's taciturn but action-oriented style, and truly accepted the captain.

The situation was different for England. As a national team, these people are all improvised, and it is impossible for them to get to know each other for a long time. Wood's most personal impression of the national team in the past was that he was not gregarious and rarely spoken. Such a man became the captain of the national team, and without any over-foreshadowing, he was forced to take the position by Donn, and he will need to prove that he is worthy of this captain with better performances than before.

But it doesn't seem like Wood is as happy as others think...... He has been accepting the congratulations of his teammates with a wooden face.

The mood after the training was not high.

Still, Donn noticed that he had always done the most serious and hard-working in every training subject, and he did better than he had done in the Forest team before.

Don curled the corners of his mouth.

After the afternoon training, Don stood in the crowd and analyzed the gains and shortcomings of the day's training, praised some people and criticized some people.

Then the team disbanded, and he asked Wood to stay alone.

It seems like a normal move and the new manager and the new captain have to communicate so that they can manage the team well.

But Wood himself knew what Donn had left him alone for—it was all his instincts.

When everyone was gone, the Kearney training base was plunged into twilight. The trees in the distance sway gently in the breeze, bringing coolness and reducing the heat of the day here.

The mood of the person seems to have become more relaxed with the coolness of this time.

It was quiet around the training grounds, with only the occasional birdsong in the distant woods.

Wood stood inside the arena and Donn stood on the sidelines, about twenty meters apart.

Donn took a step forward, and Wood took a step back.

Don thought it was a coincidence at first, so he paused and continued to walk forward, one step, two steps, three steps.

Wood also quickly stepped back, one step, two steps, three steps.

Don saw the clue, he stood still, spread his hands and asked loudly, "Are we homosexually repulsive?" ”

Wood stood on the training ground in the twilight, silent.

Don took a few more quick steps, and Wood took a few quick steps back. Donn started running, and Wood turned and fled.

The two men chased each other on the empty training ground. It looks like a life-and-death chase on the African savannah, and it stands to reason that the prey should be in front and the hunter behind. But no matter how you look at it, it looks like a prey is chasing the hunter...... The rabbit ran out of breath, and the cheetah still had the leisure to look back at how far away the other party was.

After only half the course, the forty-six-year-old Tang En couldn't hold on and was defeated. He pressed his hands on his knees and leaned over to gasp for air.

Seeing that he was no longer chasing, Wood stopped and looked at him from afar.

Don suddenly stood up, and Wood, thinking he was going to chase again, turned sideways and tried to run. Unexpectedly, Tang En just scolded: "Run away from your uncle!" ”
