Chapter 66
Anyone else remember the game on May [-]th?This week, everyone has been shrouded in clouds, players, coaches, team doctors, and even Ian, who is watching the gate; McDonald.Do they still know what kind of opponent they are facing now and what kind of game it is?

Tang En was sitting on the coaching bench of the home team at the city stadium, staring blankly at the match going on on the field. His mind was in a mess, and he didn't know which corner to squat in for a long time since he was proud of his on-the-spot command ability. up.

The team is at a disadvantage, being defeated by the visiting Sheffield United, and can't organize effective defense and offense at all.

It won't work like this.A voice spoke to Dunn deep in his heart, but it sounded like it was echoing in a far away place, illusory.

In the past week, the team has not conducted any targeted training, and there are even a handful of systematic training.

Tang En, the coach, didn't study his opponents in the playoffs carefully, and he couldn't even tell the players how to deal with the team in front of them.

Gavin's death entangled these people like a nightmare, everyone was out of shape, and the game seemed to be suffering for them.

Nearly 0% of the stands at the city stadium had an attendance rate, but the score did not satisfy them. 1:[-], this is the score after half of the game, Nottingham Forest is behind.

"Tony, we should do something to save the situation!" Walker was one of the few people who returned to normal, he reminded Dunn anxiously.

"Yes, you are right, Des. We should do something..." After saying this, Dunn sat motionless on the chair.He was just repeating Walker's words mechanically.

Seeing Tang En's appearance, Walker sighed helplessly.

Evan Dougherty, who was sitting in the VIP box, glanced at the field, then turned to his father and said, "Do you really think about him?"

Nigel; Daugherty nodded: "I've never been disappointed by Hart's favorites."

Evan shook his head: "I don't like him. Maybe he performed very well in the regular season, but what's the use of winning a hundred games in insignificant games but losing the most crucial games?"

"Evan." The old man said with emphasis, "Pay attention to your wording. There is no such thing as 'regular season' here, don't bring basketball to the UK. You're going to lead a club in the future, say something like that The media will laugh at us."

"Oh, sorry, Dad."

"Don't you like Tang En?"

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Evan looked at the TV, and there happened to be a close-up shot of Dunn sitting on the coach's bench with a dead expression on his face.For the current situation of the team, he can't come up with a better way. "Privately, Tony and I have been to London together, I think he is very interesting. But I think he is not stable enough. I can't figure out his temperament and preferences, I don't know him, sometimes he is very good, sometimes He was terrible at times, like now..."

Nigel was a little surprised at his son's eloquence. He turned his head and glanced at Evan: "Have you put in a lot of effort since you went back to the United States?"

Evan shrugged: "Your son is also a top student at Harvard, don't always look at me with such surprises. Besides, Allen drew up a very detailed plan for me. In the plan, he also thinks that we should start over again. Considering head coaching candidates."

"Alan? Allen; Adams? Why are you still with him?"

"Dad, he's my financial advisor." Evan's voice was a little annoyed. "My company can achieve what it is today, and Allen has helped me a lot."

"Whatever you want." Nigel shrugged slightly, "Anyway, I don't like that greasy Yankee." He suddenly asked as if remembering something: "Does Carly still disagree?"

Evan nodded: "She doesn't like the weather and food in England. She will live with Ben in the United States. But don't worry, I will go back to see them often."

Nigel murmured: "You, your wife, your son... are all Americans now through and through."

Although the Forest team pulled a goal back in the second half, Sheffield United scored a goal before the end of the game. The final score was 1:2, and Nottingham Forest lost at home.When Sheffield United left the City Stadium with a satisfied smile on their faces, all the Forest fans frowned tightly.

Home court advantage is gone, so six days later on May [-]th, what fate will be waiting for them at Balamore Lane, the home ground of Sheffield United?
At the press conference, the forest team's sudden downturn became the focus of many media's attention, but Tang En refused to express any opinions or explanations for it. No matter how the reporters bombarded him indiscriminately, he always used "no comment". to answer.As for the loss of the game, he took all the responsibility on himself.

Pierce; Bruce originally didn't want to put another stone on the poor head coach, but he found that there was a question that everyone didn't ask, and they were all entangled in such trivial matters as why the forest team's state suddenly slumped.The professional attitude of a journalist made him decide to throw this embarrassing question to Tang En.

"Coach Twain...after the home defeat, have you ever thought about the possibility that we will remain in the First Division at the end of this season?"

Tang En stared at Bruce for a long time, and the young man looked at him without flinching.In this silent contest, none of them can defeat the other.

In the end, Tang En left the press conference without saying a word.

"I'm not going to let that happen."

"...Although Tony; Coach Twain announced at the press conference that his team will win the final victory and successfully advance to the Super League. But to be honest, I am not optimistic about his team. He was defeated by Sheffield United at his home court. The team scored two away goals, and with the current state of the two teams, it is really difficult to guarantee that they will beat Sheffield United away."

The BBC's "Today's Game" column is being broadcast on TV, which is a bit similar to the "World Football" that Tang En watched all the time in China, but "Today's Game" is more like a talk show, and it is the highest-rated show in England's history Football programs.The current head is Gary, the "green gentleman" who was once famous in the world football; Gary`Lineker, his gold medal partner is the two former Liverpool's strongest central defender combination-Alan; Hansen ( Alan`Hansen) and Mark; Lawrenson (Mark`Lawrenson).

The person who said that just now was Mark, who rarely appeared on the show; Laurenson, he has a pair of gray eyes and a signature beard.

Hansen and Lawrensen have the opposite views. He thinks that Coach Twain is a trustworthy person. If he says he can, then he will definitely be able to.

Lawrenson thinks that Hansen's point of view has no basis at all, and he cannot convince himself that it is too idealistic.

Then the two began to bicker routinely, and neither could convince the other.At this time, Lineker, who was watching the show with a smile on the side, jumped out to be the mediator. He made a suggestion:
"Since the two of you don't agree with the other, I think it's okay to bet."

"Good idea, Gary." Both men agreed.

So Lineker looked at Laurenson's face and smiled maliciously: "Mark, you started this topic, and you have to be responsible to the end."

Lawrenson touched his lips, and then made up his mind: "Okay! If Tang En's team is promoted to the Super League after the play-offs this season, I will shave off this beard!"

Lineker and Hansen whistled at the same time, and Hansen applauded excitedly: "Mark, don't try to deny it. This is a live broadcast. All British audiences are acting as notaries."

"I'm never dead on my bills," Laurence said, eyes puffed up, blowing the mustache on his lips when he spoke loudly.It really feels like "blowing beard and staring".

Lineker next to him suddenly said: "Very good, Mark. In fact, I have long thought that your beard is not pleasing to the eye..."

Seeing Laurensen's unexpected expression, Hansen laughed out loud in the show.

The laughter resounded through the television set and filled Burns' bar.Everyone else looked up at the laughing TV, but Tang En, who was eating in the corner, was not interested in the commentators' conversations.He buried himself in the rice grains wrapped in sauce on the plate with a spoon.

After eating, he put the money on the table and walked out of the bar.Turn a blind eye to those who want to greet him next to him.

Burns looked at Tang En's back and shook his head slightly.
