Chapter 681 Volume [-] The Beginning of Crimson's Busy Summer

After this European Cup, Tang En once again confirmed one thing - besides being suitable as a head coach, there is another job that is very suitable for him.

Guest commentator for football games.

When Twain was just an ordinary Chinese fan, every time he watched a game broadcast on TV, he would hear those people who were wrong, unnutritive, incomprehensible, had neither professional knowledge nor professional attitude, and pulled from other industries. The commentators and guest commentators who come to play casually feel that what these people say is not as good as what I say.But, at that time, he couldn't change anything except for a slander in his heart.As long as he watched the game, he still had to endure such poor commentary and comments again and again, unless the TV sound was turned off, but he couldn't hear the shouts from the scene, so what's the point of watching the live broadcast of the game?
Well now, he doesn't have to put up with that noise anymore because...he can make it himself!

During the European Cup, some spectators called to protest Tony Twain's commentary style, thinking that his acrimonious language style was a kind of noise to him.

When Tang En was a fan, he didn't think that after he became a commentator, some people would think that what he said was rubbish.

But now he doesn't need to worry about the opinions of those audiences.John Mortensen revealed to him that the top brass of the BBC were very happy to see a "famous mouth" like Twain gossiping on live TV every game, because it attracted enough attention and made enough topics, earned enough advertising fees...

Tang En's comments were always very spicy, and sometimes Mortensen couldn't accept the spicy.He can mercilessly criticize those star players and coaches in the live broadcast of the game. What he said...is completely vicious.If the person he commented on heard him say that in person, he would definitely rush up and beat him to the ground without hesitation.

Some people hate it, and some people will naturally like it.Some people really, really like listening to Twain's commentary.They even left a message on the BBC website saying that if the BBC dared to change someone to comment, they would call every day to harass them until the BBC replaced the person.

In fact, it is not necessarily that Tang En's comments are more profound and unique than other experts. The key is that his language talent allows him to describe a game brilliantly, and he is very good at capturing interesting scenes in the game. Find a place to entertain people.Some people said that Twain turned a football game into a live talk show. This metaphor is really appropriate.

The BBC even seized the opportunity to sign a long-term contract with Twain during the European Cup.According to the contract, BBC-5 hired Tony Twain as a special guest commentator on the TV station. When the England national team played games, Twain would temporarily put down his position as the head coach of Nottingham Forest and become a TV commentator.The contractual relationship between the two parties will continue until the end of the 2010 World Cup and be renewed as appropriate.

In addition to endorsement for Armani, this is another income for Tang En outside of his job. It is not comparable to Armani's advertising endorsement fee, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.Being able to do a job you like and earn money, such a good job is hard to find with a lantern.

Going back to the European Cup itself, this year's cup made Dunn sigh again and again that football is round, and everything is possible on the football field.

The strong start of Italy and the Netherlands brought them an early exit; Russian football has signs of returning to its original glory. It just won the Netherlands, but it was immediately defeated by Spain; In fact, poor Ballack became the "King of Sanya" again after 2002 (Chelsea lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the English League Cup final and finished runner-up); in the end, Spain won the championship for what it deserved, a little accident nothing.Because looking at the entire cup, the only team that didn't make any mistakes, played steadily, and had a balanced defense and offense was Spain.There is no reason for such a team not to win the championship.Casillas continued his excellent form in Real Madrid. Although Villa was very unhappy in Valencia, he vented all his depression on the European Cup.With six victories, Spain once again ruled Europe after 44 years.

Although Italy was eliminated early, Tang En was very happy that Grosso's performance in the national team was indeed much better than that in the forest team. It seemed that his worth would drop, because this European Cup has a bullish trend. .While he was explaining the European Cup, French and Italian clubs had asked Nottingham Forest about whether Grosso could be sold.

Grosso is just a small surprise, and the biggest surprise comes from Russia's core player Arshavin.Due to a red card in the last game of the European Cup qualifiers, he did not play in the first two games of the European Cup group stage, and Russia's results were not satisfactory.Especially the 0:4 disastrous defeat to Spain, from which we can't see anything worthy of hope for this team.Twain, who was in charge of commenting on that match, could only shake his head as he watched Akinfeev pick up the ball from the net again and again.In this game, Nottingham Forest's No. [-] goalkeeper almost lost face. He is not responsible for conceding the goal as soon as possible, but people will only focus on the unlucky position of the goalkeeper.

Next, Russia narrowly defeated Greece 1-0 in the second round of the group stage, which finally kept the hope of qualifying for the group stage and also gave Arshavin the seeds for his comeback.

Arshavin came back in the third game of the group stage and led Russia to a clean 2-0 victory over the Nordic powerhouse Sweden.Russia's performance in this game and their disastrous defeat to Spain in the first game can be said to have been turned upside down.The lineup is almost the same, but because of the addition of Arshavin, Russia's offense is more threatening and its ability to move forward is stronger.

After entering the knockout round, the 3:1 elimination of the Netherlands was almost a performance by Arshavin alone. The Dutch Legion, which dominated the group stage, was helpless against the little Arshavin.The defenders couldn't prevent Arshavin's assault on the two sides. His speed and technique made the Dutchman only let him pass unless he fouled.

This game made Twain feel elated. The performance of his players shows that he strongly advocated the introduction of Arshavin a year ago.

The game was dubbed the "Nottingham Forest Derby" by Nottingham's local media. Two players from Russia and three players from the Netherlands appeared in the starting lineup.In addition to Arshavin and Akinfeev who performed well, Ruud van Nistelrooy also received Van der Vaart's assist and scored an equalizer goal at the last moment in the game, dragging the suspense of the game into overtime.Only the poor van der Sar became a victim. He picked up the ball from the goal three times, especially the two conceded goals in overtime completely defeated the Dutchman's fighting spirit.

No matter who is the final victor, this match made Twain very happy, because it proved to the whole world that Nottingham Forest's players are the best, and this season's double crown is definitely not just luck.

Our players have this strength!

Here, Tang En is pointing out the country on BBC-5, while Tang and Chris Lark's work has also come to fruition.Tang and the scouting team led by him finally counted a list of as many as 30 people, not only the name, but also the most detailed information of each player, and even his game video in this European Cup. .

Tang En didn't need to do other work, as long as he read this report, he could get a comprehensive understanding of all the information of these players and their performance in the European Cup.

Among them, Benzema may be the most famous player recently.Tang En was also very optimistic about the ability of the French center forward, but he was first excluded from Tang En's selection list.It's not that Tang En doesn't like his strength, but a very simple reason - he is a Lyon player.Lyon's boss is a well-known miser in European football, and he is best at selling his players at high prices.Now all the giant clubs in Europe are observing Benzema, just for this point, Aulas will not accept the offer negotiation of less than 5000 million euros.What Nottingham Forest currently lacks the most is money...

There is also Huntelaar who agrees with him, and Tang En will not consider it.In addition, Tang En felt that the team's current configuration of four forwards was very reasonable, and he couldn't think of any need to add new forwards.Even if you really want to introduce, it is just to introduce those very young forwards, put them in the youth team for training, or go out on loan for training.The first team does not currently need to bring in any forwards.

In fact, in the new season, Nottingham Forest will introduce new players mainly in the second half.If there is a suitable candidate for the midfielder position, Twain will not ignore it.Sidwell's agent had already called Tang En during the European Cup, hoping that the club would agree with Sidwell to find another new owner.After Tang En made a false attempt to retain him, he agreed in principle to Sidwell to change his family, but the price must satisfy him.

If Sidwell leaves, the issue of finding a replacement for George Wood will be put on the agenda again.

Sun Jihai was indeed a jack of all trades, but he was too old and his condition was declining very quickly. He might be able to play as a full-back. Tang En was worried about entrusting him with such an important position as a midfielder.

Due to some well-known reasons, it is very difficult to find a substitute for George Wood.However, Twain is already thinking about a solution—the team's goal next season is still to fight on multiple fronts. This time, Twain intends to try to touch the FA Cup, which he has never won, which means next year. Beginning this month, Nottingham Forest will face the grim situation of fighting on the third front.Such a rotation system is even more indispensable. This time Dunn plans to put Wood in the rotation system.After all, it is very dangerous to put such an important position of the midfielder on Wood's shoulders alone.What if Wood is suspended?If there is an excellent midfielder who can share the pressure, Twain will be able to handle multi-line battles with ease.

Tang En hopes that if possible, let the team try to manipulate the transfer of the Spanish teenager De La Reid.He is optimistic about De La Red's ability to control the offensive rhythm, which can form a useful supplement to George Wood.In this European Cup, De La Red seized the opportunity that belonged to him wisely. He scored a key goal when he represented the Spanish national team for the first time, and his performance was remarkable.Of course, De La Reid is just an option. If you want to focus on defense, there is also a defensive midfielder who is "from the same school" as him-Xavi Garcia.

One of the two Real Madrid abandoners may move to Nottingham Forest in the summer-note, it is only possible.Whether Real Madrid and Getafe are willing to let Twain go is completely uncertain.The Real Madrid people are not blind, and the outstanding performance of these two young players last season is well known.

There is also a midfielder who has performed well in the European Cup and can be considered.That is Inle, a 24-year-old Swiss international who plays for Udinese. He has a strong outlook on the overall situation, delicate skills, and his defense is his strong point. No matter how you look at it, he is an excellent midfielder and can replace George in some games. Wood's location.And he didn't suddenly become famous by one European Cup, Tang En didn't have to worry that he was just a shooting star.Because the authoritative Italian media "Gazzetta dello Sport" once selected Inle as "the most cost-effective signing in the summer of Serie A".

After Chiellini shoveled Cannavaro, it became a chance to stand out. His performance in the European Cup can be called the biggest discovery of the Italian national team in this cup.But...with the lessons learned by Grosso, Tang En no longer agrees with Italian players, and he will not consider introducing Chiellini, although the Italian teenager can play central defender and left back.

Right back Chimbonda will definitely leave. Even if he is unwilling to leave, Dunn will clearly inform that this black Frenchman is not in his plan.So relying solely on Rafinha and Sun Jihai, whose state has declined sharply, is obviously not enough to meet the team's requirements for the right back position in multi-line operations.The search for an outstanding right back is imminent.

Twain already had a target - the Portuguese national team, and Porto's main right back, Bosingwa.Of course, in the battle for Bosingwa, Nottingham Forest will face strong rivals Chelsea and Manchester United.For this reason, Twain even did not hesitate to use his entire transfer budget this summer to win Bosingwa.If the right back is not supplemented, the right flank of Nottingham Forest in the new season will be planted with an uncertain time bomb that will explode at an unknown time.

On the left back side, thanks to Togrosso's poor performance, Dunn got to know Leighton Barnes again, and thought that he was still very useful in purely defensive tasks, so there was no need to clear him out of the team so quickly. .So the club intends to provide Barnes with a new contract that will last until 2011.

In terms of central defenders, Nottingham Forest is full of talents and basically does not need any signings.

Pepe's performance in the Portuguese national team was very stable. In the first game, he scored a goal after a long-distance attack. Twain would definitely not let him go.

Piqué was selected for the Spanish national team, but he didn't get the chance to play, but he witnessed a major competition and won a championship, which is only good for his growth and not bad.The only trouble is... I heard that after two seasons of pain, Barcelona intends to focus on revamping their defense and learn from arch-rivals Real Madrid.And their goal is Gerald Piqué, who has Barcelona blood - and is very pure.Tang En will not agree with Piqué leaving, but... Dunn is a little worried about Piqué's own thoughts. After all, he came from La Masia. It is hard to say whether he still thinks that playing for Barcelona is the purpose of his career. The only goal...

Kompany was a substitute for Pepe or Piqué in the Forest team, but he has improved significantly, and he also has the talent to play as a midfielder. Twain also values ​​this young man very much.Just in case... even if Piqué insisted on responding to Barcelona's call, Dunn didn't have to worry too much, because he still had Kompany.

As for Ayala, his experience is still what the team needs most...Of course, if a team is interested in him and wants to pay for him, Twain will not force him to stay, after all, Ayala can provide for the forest. There are not many opportunities for the team to contribute.

As for players like Wes Morgan, there is no need to give him too many opportunities to play, and it is enough to show up occasionally.His main task is not to help the team win on the pitch, but to maintain the balance in the dressing room, to ensure the purity of Nottingham Forest's bloodline, and... to help the team successfully pass the Champions League qualification registration before each season.

Basically, this is Twain's plan for signings this summer, and generally all transfer activities will use this plan as a reference.Maintaining the main framework of the team and making repairs and adjustments in some small details not only ensure the tacit understanding of the team's cooperation, but also add fresh blood to strengthen the strength.

Nottingham Forest in the new season will be worth looking forward to...
