Chapter 47 George's Fans
On March 30, Nottingham Forest's No.[-] opponent in the eighth round was their rival Derby`County (Derby`County).

But when it comes to this opponent, many Nottingham Forest fans can be described as love-hate, with complicated feelings.In terms of club relationship, Forest and Derby County are hostile clubs, but a person who came out of Derby County Club is the most popular and respected in the history of Forest Club.That man was coach Brian`Clough, who created the most glorious chapter in Nottingham Forest's history.

Tang En didn't know much about past history, and he couldn't understand why Derby County and the Forest team became enemies.It was Walker who told him one of the reasons: "In 1898, Derby County reached the FA Cup final for the first time. At that time, their opponent was our forest. The score of that game was 3:1. We won them and we won To the first FA Cup in the club's history and Derby went home crying."

Tang En clicked his tongue. It has been more than 100 years, and he still can't forget the old enemy.It really is a century-old grievance... Sigh, when will the injustice be repaid?To be tolerant, to be harmonious...

Nine 10-minute games are over.Tang En looked at the score on the scoreboard and listened to the ear-piercing boos from the stands at Pride Park Stadium. Tang En knew that the century-old feud between Forest and Derby County had to continue.It is precisely because there are countless people like myself who pursue victory that this situation can last for a hundred years.

The score on the electronic scoreboard was 0:3.According to international general rules, the home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

The Forest team scored three goals and three points at home in Derby County, dropping No.20 Derby County by one place, only one place away from the relegation zone.

If Derby County is finally relegated this season, then the performance of the Forest team in this game will definitely be "remembered a big credit".

But Dunn never cared about his opponent's life or death. His team won the away game and won the game completely. This is the best thing.

Harewood scored two goals and Andy Reed scored the other.Harewood's performance in the second half of the season is completely different from the first half of the season. He even has a good chance to compete for the top scorer of the first division.

To say that the only shortcoming of this game is that the two main players in the defense will be absent in the next round.Michael Dawson was suspended due to accumulating yellow cards, while his central defender partner Jon-Olav`Hjelde was injured at the end of the game and was diagnosed by team doctor Fleming after the game , a sprained ankle, could be sidelined for two weeks.

Twain didn't take this situation to heart, he just gave the substitute players a chance to practice and let the main players rest, why not?Anyway, Hajjerd was not seriously injured.

Edwards was in good form against Wimbledon and is perfectly capable of starting. The 21-year-old Scottish defender Chris`Doig is actually not too weak.

But only 10 minutes after the training started the next afternoon, Tang En's personnel rotation plan was declared bankrupt.Doig fell painfully in a non-intense physical confrontation, his hands on his knees.

Tang En turned his head and glanced at Gary Fleming, the head of the team medical team who was not far away from him. He saw Fleming's brows furrowed together, and his heart tightened suddenly.

Fleming rushed up to check on Doig's injuries, then ran to Tang En's side and whispered to him, "Cruciate ligament, at least two months."

"Damn..." Tang En lowered his head and cursed in a low voice.Two months basically meant that Doig said goodbye to the season.The season ends in May, and today is March 21st. "Gary, take him to the infirmary and treat him well. Give him confidence."

Fleming nodded, called a stretcher, and carried the painful Doig off the court.

Because of his injury, the training was terminated. Twain signaled the team to continue training, and he had to go to the youth training base.The first team has run out of centre-backs available, so let's see how the kid fares after switching to a new position for the youth team.

The youth base is much quieter than the first-team base. Usually, there are not many fans who come here to watch the players train. Most of them are the young players' own family members.Only when youth competitions are held here, the popularity will be stronger.At that time, there will be many scouts from other teams who come here to watch the game.The Forest team's youth training is well-known in England, and it is normal for scouts to appear.

Twain didn't go around the fans viewing area outside the barbed wire, he directly took a shortcut - from the office area to the training ground.

When Chris Rack saw Tang En coming again, he went up to him and smiled, "Are you concerned about that young man you picked up from the street again?"

Tang En shook his head: "Not this time. I'm in trouble, David."

"Let's hear it. It's not easy to get our best coach in trouble."

Tang En smiled helplessly. Ever since he was awarded the best coach, many people in the club have ridiculed him for this. "There are five central defenders in the first team, one has been suspended for yellow cards, one has been absent for two weeks due to an ankle injury, and one has just suffered a cruciate ligament injury during training and will be absent for at least two months."

Chris Lark also frowned: "That's really troublesome. There are two more, enough for a game, where is Dawson?"

"It's him who accrues suspensions."

Chris Rack whistled.

"Give me recommendations, what can you use here?" Tang En spoke as if he was picking something in a domestic vegetable market.

"Exactly, there is a good guy. I also think he should go to a more advanced competition to train. But...you have to pick it yourself." Chris Lak winked at Tang En.

This is actually what Paul Hart often asked his assistant coaches to do when he was still in the youth team, let them watch the team training by themselves, and then say what they observed.He used this method to train the observation skills of Dunn, Chris Lark and others, as well as their understanding of the training sessions.This kind of game-like practice laid a solid foundation for Tang En to coach the youth team alone and promote the previous team.Because others are dismissive of this method, they think that it is the players who should be trained, not the coaches.Only Tang En, who was still very taciturn and withdrawn at the time, fulfilled Hart's request meticulously.This is also one of the reasons why Hart attaches great importance to Tang En. Hart believes that "seriousness" is the foundation of all success, which is his creed in life.But very few people can do this, and Tony Twain, a loner from Eastwood, managed to do it.

Today's Tang En no longer remembers these things, and many memories of the past have disappeared with that collision.He didn't know why Chris Rack did it, he thought it was a game between old friends, and he was right.

The two head coaches stood on the sidelines and gave great motivation to the boys training on the field.After that game, Tony Twain did not transfer anyone from the youth team, but this did not affect the youth players' confidence and vision for the future in the slightest. The first-team manager keeps his eyes on himself.

After watching for about ten minutes, Tang En turned his head and amused Chris Lak with his first sentence.

"Why didn't you see George Wood?"

"You really came for him, Tony."

Amidst Chris Lark's loud laughter, Dunn scratched his head in embarrassment, he just said it smoothly for a while.

"I'm letting him train alone on the second court. Start with the most basic and simplest exercises, the simplest...the exercises that are so simple that they can't be simpler."

"How is he doing?"

"Can't tell yet. But you're right, Tony. He's more suited to positions that require physical strength and physical impact, and his body is enviable. What did he eat when he was a kid?"

Thinking of the situation of Wood's family, Tang En shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows, maybe his mother couldn't even express a drop of milk at that time..." This kid's body is so strong, it must be because the mother Sophia put everything... The most delicious and nutritious food, all the love, hope, and even the essence of life were poured into the body of this illegitimate child.

"Okay, let's get back to the point... I was led off topic by you, David. I found the person I want." Tang En didn't point to the training ground, but his eyes stayed on one person, one With a dark skin and bald head, in more than ten minutes of training, he showed almost all the skills required by an excellent central defender. "No. 6, I want it. Now let him report to the first team with me."

Chris Lark smiled and said: "Tony, you really deserve to be Hart's most important person. Yes, he is the one I want to recommend to you. Wes`Morgan, a 19-year-old great guy. He But the captain of the youth team took over from Jermaine Jenas and Michael Dawson." After introducing this player, Chris Lack shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Wes! Come here!"

Then everyone watched the captain run towards the two head coaches with envious eyes.

"Others—continue training!" Chris Lack roared again, and the boys calmed down. They knew that Coach Twain had achieved his goal of coming here.

Morgan excitedly ran to the two head coaches, "Sir, what's the matter?" In fact, he already knew what was waiting for him.

Tang En looked up at him, his face was more mature than his actual age, and he seemed to be older than Dawson. "How tall are you, boy."

"Six foot two, sir." Morgan's voice was weak, as if he had a bad cold.The voice really matched his appearance.

Tang En nodded, it was about 1.8 meters eight.He continued to ask, "Weight?"

"190 eight pounds, sir."

About ninety kilograms.This figure... is simply a heavy tank.Tang En was very satisfied. What he wanted was this kind of player, who could put psychological pressure on the opponent just by looking at his appearance.

"Ok, Wes. I'm not one to talk nonsense. From today you train with the first team and if you perform well, you will get a first team contract, just like Michael Dawson and Andy Reid Same. Do you understand?"

Morgan nodded: "Understood, sir."

Not much to say, not too excited to be promoted to the first team.Twain likes this calm personality, which is one of the most important qualities of a defensive player.

"Very good, come with me... Uh, you go to the locker room to get something first, do you have anything there?"

"Only a few clothes, sir."

"Go get it, I'll give you 3 minutes."

Just as Tang En finished speaking, Morgan turned around and ran away.

Only then did Chris Lak speak: "What do you think of him, Tony."

"Better than I imagined before I came here. The strength, the jumping, the explosiveness, the aerial ability. But the first team is not the same as the youth team, you know... I'm here for the firefighters. I want to wait. After these few games, he will still be a substitute, Dawson and Hajjerd are already very good partners, I can't break them up."

Chris Lack nodded to express his understanding: "If he didn't have many chances to play in your time, lend me to play in the youth team league."

"no problem."

While the two were talking, Mo Gan had already run over holding his clothes. "I'm ready, sir."

"Let's go."

After saying goodbye to Chris Lak, Morgan followed in Tang En's footsteps.The two walked towards the outside of the training ground one after the other.

The other players watched the lucky Morgan and Twain go out, but Chris Rack's roar immediately rang out: "Train me! Instead of envying others, you should train yourself!"
