Chapter 722 Volume [-] Crimson Eight Months!
On the plane flying back to the UK from Belarus, Dunn would occasionally think of the scenes that happened at the Dinamo Stadium in Minsk, and then he felt lingering fear, and his heart beat faster again.
When he replaced Zikic, it was already possible to guess how many media outlets in the distant UK had sharpened their knives and prepared to attack Nottingham Forest, which had lost the game.If he loses this game, there is no need to consider the pressure from the club's top management. The domestic public opinion alone can tear him apart.
Even if he succeeds in winning the game now, the debate about this game will not stop there.The Belarusian media shouted injustice, and slammed Nottingham Forest for their lack of sportsmanship, saying that the UK upholds fair play (the spirit of fair play), but Tony Twain, who is a British, has absolutely nothing to do with fair play the meaning of.In this game, he stole a three-pointer from Borisov, and he won without force.
Some people in the British media are ridiculing that Tang En has been reduced to the point where he has to rely on gangsters to ensure the group qualifying, which is really a pity.
He could foresee that in the not-too-distant future, the pressure on him would not be weakened in the slightest because of winning this game.He's still at the center of the vortex, and he's still unlikable.
In addition to trying to deal with the enemies on the court, he has to rack his brains to deal with the media.
The heavy pressure made him feel tired, and no matter how loud the plane was, he tilted his head and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
※ ※ ※
Recently, Dunn felt that he was not sleeping well, and every morning he woke up in a bad mood.As soon as he opened his eyes and saw the ceiling, the troubles that he had temporarily forgotten during sleep came one after another, making him suddenly feel that his life was lifeless-every day except for troubles or troubles, there was no time to relax his brows.
He forgot where he heard the saying "It is the mood you wake up that determines whether you feel good or bad for a day", and now he thinks this sentence is too true.He was in a bad mood after getting up every day, so he was in a bad mood all day.
During this period of time, he went to the forest bar more and more frequently, where he drank alcohol one after another, and never left his cigarettes.The big guys in the bar also knew that Tang En had been under a lot of pressure recently, and the team's performance was worrying. The weakest opponent in the Champions League group had to narrowly escape death.Carl Spike continued to attack Tang En in his column, just because he sent him [-] books and made him look ugly in public.And after his relationship with Shania was exposed, countless rumors hit him.
As a football head coach, the pressure is greater than usual, and there are so many things outside the football field that bother him.Apart from drinking and smoking, he really couldn't find any other way to relieve his psychological pressure.
John and the others just couldn't help them.No one else could help Tang En share this kind of pressure.
Do not……
Actually there is.
The fans chatted and laughed loudly with drinks in the bar, talking about some interesting things recently.It's not just about football-related topics here. The fans who often gather here know each other well and can talk about any topic.
Tang En was still sitting alone in the corner, drinking and smoking.
John leaned back, elbows bent on the bar.He looked at Tang En in the distance, and said to himself: "It's really not easy to see Tony like this. It's a pity that we can't help... We can't go up to play football and help him win good grades; Help him deal with the media; let alone help him raise money to buy someone in January next year..."
"Behind the glamor is great hard work..." Skinny Bill also sighed.
Tony Twain, as the leader of the new generation of head coaches, has attracted much attention and has many admirers and followers.Regardless of whether people like him or hate him, all they see is Tang En's arrogant and domineering appearance and his bright and dazzling grades. Who can see the current Tony Twain?
Burns wiped the glass and said calmly, "When I returned home exhausted all day, I faced a dark and cold room. No matter how small the pressure is, it will gradually accumulate and become bigger?"
John glanced back at him.
Burns held up his wine glass and looked at it under the light to see if there were any stains that had not been wiped clean. "Forty-year-old man, single, and working such a high-stress job. How many football coaches have you heard of being single?" He looked up at John and asked.
With a clatter, Tang En stood up and bumped into the glass placed on the table.He waved goodbye to Burns, John, and Bill, and walked out of the bar alone.
"Who's ever been in a bar all their life?" Burns said, looking at the swinging door.
※ ※ ※
Every day after get off work, I went to Burns' Forest Bar to get drunk and then fell asleep with my head covered.Woke up the next day and frowned and thought about it, and found that there was still nothing that could make him feel better in the new day.The international financial situation is deteriorating every day, and the club's finances can only shrink again and again. He is worried that Evan will come to him the next day and say that the club is unable to pay the high salaries of the big-name stars.The depleted physical fitness of the players does not mean that they can be fully recovered after a few days of sleep. There are always several names on the injury list. Sometimes one person leaves and one person comes.
This is Tang En's "happy life" near the end of the year.
Even so, even though he sat by the bed every morning and couldn't think of any good news that could make him feel happy, he still had to work hard and go to work in Wilford with a forced smile.
Supervise training; formulate a weekly work plan; communicate with physical therapists and team doctors to understand the recovery status of the injured every day; communicate with physical coaches to understand the latest physical status of the team; observe the status of the players during training; occasionally To care about the players of the youth team and the reserve team; listen to the latest reports from scouts from all over the world; search for treasures from the player database specially made by SI for the Forest team, hoping to rely on SI's huge scout network all over the world Let him dig out one or two unknown demon Mavericks; continue to deal with all kinds of tricky questions from the media at the regular press conference; study the latest intelligence of the next opponent, and work out a detailed battle plan with Tang ...
Since the pressure is too great to resolve, then simply use crazier work and busyness to temporarily forget the pressure.
This is Tang En's "decompression" method in the face of pressure.
It can be said that this trick really works at work.He was so busy running around that he had no time to think about the pressure.Only at the end of the day's work will that feeling come to shore like a tide, and it will become stronger every time.
When he returned home after "relaxing" at the bar, he saw the huge black monster from the outside, and he had the urge not to go in and turn around and leave.
It's cold outside, it's just as cold at home...
Standing at the door of the dark house, after drinking, he was blown by the icy cold wind, and he was covered in cold sweat.

On November 29th, the No.15 round of the league.Nottingham Forest beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 at home.In several other games at the same time, Chelsea drew 2:2 with Arsenal at home, Liverpool beat West Ham United 2:0 at home, and Manchester United shook hands with Manchester City 1:1 away in the Manchester derby. .As a result, Liverpool surpassed Chelsea in the league standings with 38 points and ranked first, followed by Chelsea with 36 points, Nottingham Forest came third with 28 points, and Manchester United, who originally had the same points with them, fell to 27 points due to the draw. Ranked fourth, Arsenal ranked fifth with [-] points.
Nottingham Forest finally opened up the points with Manchester United and no longer shared the third place in the league with other teams.And Chelsea's winning streak was also held back by Arsenal, with 36 points and only six points behind the Forest team, allowing the Forest team to see the hope of catching up with the overtake again.
In the game against West Bromwich Albion, the team also showed a rare mental outlook in recent games and easily defeated their opponents 3:1.
It stands to reason that this is a good thing, but Tony Twain and the media obviously don't think so.
Ruud van Nistelrooy was injured and fell to the ground in the No.70 minute of the match against West Bromwich Albion, and was replaced by Zikic.
According to the preliminary diagnosis after the game, he needs to be injured for two months.
This number already made Tang En's frown even tighter.
Ruud van Nistelrooy knew what the boss was worrying about. When he was interviewed, he smiled relaxedly and said that he was no big deal, and relieved Dunn: "It's only eight weeks, just take it as a good rest. Two months. I will definitely come back!"
As a result, when he flew to the United States for further inspection, a big bad news came out.
The recovery plan for the previous two months did not include surgery as an option.The team doctors thought no surgery was needed, just rest.Of course, this is from the perspective of the club.After all, the team doctors all know how short the Forest team is now.Beckham and Eastwood have been injured all the time. Pepe was also injured in the game against Borisov and had to sit in the stands completely. Sun Jihai was also injured for a month.
In the case of the team's shortage of personnel, surgical treatment options will not be considered at all.
American doctors don't have this concern. Richard Steadman, the famous doctor who diagnosed Fonny, directly pointed out that the Dutch should undergo surgery immediately, and...
"Eight Months! ! "
The Sun ran this big, somewhat hideous black headline.
Eight months is Ruud van Nistelrooy's estimated time from surgery to recovery - eight to nine months.
When this news reached Nottingham from the United States, Tony Twain could hardly believe his ears.He thought the other party had mistaken "eight weeks" for "eight months".
How could it be wrong?
※ ※ ※
"...At least eight to nine months. This is just the time from surgery to recovery. It will take at least a year before he can play again!"

At such a sensitive time, how could Tony Twain's most loyal opponent, Mr. Carl Spike, be missing?He broke the news when accepting a TV talk show, which further pushed Tony Twain to the forefront.
"Under normal circumstances, a player needs at least one month of muscle training to recover from a serious injury. During this month, any intense exercise may cause the newly healed wound to recur. Van Nistelrooy's injury The knee meniscus is the part of the body that is most prone to collisions and relapses of old injuries. The most typical example is Ronaldo, who among you can count how many times that Brazilian alien has injured his knees?"
"No no, I'm not saying Ruud van Nistelrooy will definitely say goodbye to this season. I'm just saying that there is a 90.00% chance that the Dutchman will retire completely! The Dutchman prayed that the operation went well, and the recovery from the injury was also perfect. Then he started simple muscle strength training, and then gradually increased the volume, participated in the team's training, and practiced with the whole team. Slowly... he can play the game There is no twists and turns in the middle, and a year has passed." In the TV football program, he wrote and drew on the prompt board, talking about Ruud's serious injury. "Remember, there was nothing wrong with it, he recovered well, there was no recurrence in his right knee. And then he was 34 years old."
Spike spread his hands and smiled at the host: "You know what 34 years old means to a striker? In a fast-paced and fiercely confrontational league like the Premier League, a 34-year-old striker who has just suffered a serious knee injury... ...does anything? Will Nottingham Forest renew Ruud van Nistelrooy's contract? I don't believe Evan Dalgetty is a philanthropist in such a bad economy. That's why I say He has a 90.00% chance of retiring straight away!"
"Okay, I made it clear earlier about the hapless Dutchman. Now let's see who caused all this, who is responsible for Ruud van Nistelrooy's tragic fate!" He saw the host's mouth open mouth shape, quickly stopped him with gestures, and continued to speak. "That's right, it's about to come out—Tony Twain!"
"From the beginning of the new season, Van Nistelrooy has been injured and his physical condition has always been poor. In the half of the league, he basically played a few games and took a rest. At the beginning of the season, Van Nistelrooy announced that Quit the Dutch national team and concentrate on playing for the Forest team. This made Twain overjoyed. After forcing Bendtner away, the only center forward he can rely on is Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Sevilla people are not used to the Premier League at all Football. The team's performance is not good, the state of the whole team fluctuates, and the club is affected by the financial crisis. Tony Twain knows that he must achieve good results. Under the huge pressure, he can only continue to rely on Ruud van Nistelrooy... ..."
Having said that, Carl Spike calmly leaned back in his chair with a mysterious smile on his face.
"I have inside information. Just before the match against West Bromwich Albion, Nottingham Forest's team doctor warned Twain that it would be best not to let Ruud van Nistelrooy play, otherwise he would be in danger of being injured. But Tony Tang En did not heed the team doctor's warning for his own coaching position, and forcibly sent the Dutchman. As a result, everyone has seen it? Some people might say that he is iron-blooded for such a head coach who disregards the health of his players for his own coaching. To rule the army, but I can only sneer at it!"
※ ※ ※
When Carl Spike's bombastic program was broadcast on the TV, Tang En was drinking in Burns' bar to relieve his boredom.Van Nistelrooy's serious injury was indeed a very heavy blow to Tang En.Zigic is still slowly adapting to the Premier League, Eastwood has minor injuries, and Arshavin is more like a winger than a scoring center.The only one who could have been trusted was the dedicated Ruud van Nistelrooy.As a result, the injury lasted for eight months... He had no idea how the team's scoring task for the remaining half of the season would be resolved.
When I was in trouble, I naturally came to the bar to drink and drink away my worries.
He was surrounded by John and Bill, all reassuring him.
Then he heard Carl Spike's smug and chattering revelations on TV.
At that time, he stood up staggeringly, clutching a thick beer glass in his hand, and was about to throw it at the TV.Fortunately, John and Bill were quick, one hugged him, and the other reached for the wine glass.But the wine in the cup was also poured all over Tang En.
"The bitch!" he cursed, fists clenched.
"What are you doing with that idiot, Tony? Drink, drink!" John gestured to Burns to continue drinking.
Tang En did not continue to drink, he just sat on the chair.Still thinking about what happened before that game.
Carl Spike was right about one thing.Fleming did warn him that Van Nistelrooy's body was on the verge of breaking down and he could no longer be used like this.So Twain decided to let Van Nistelrooy take a break and let Zikic, who is not yet used to the Premier League, start.Anyway, West Bromwich Albion is just a newly promoted team and can always handle it.Even if Beckham is injured, Eastwood is injured, Pepe is injured, Van der Vaart is injured...it can always be dealt with.
But Ruud found him and insisted on playing.He knows the current predicament of the team, and knows that the boss has no one available.
After thinking about it for a long time, Tang En nodded and agreed.
I just didn't expect to be afraid of something. Ruud van Nistelrooy really got injured during the game.And seriously injured for eight months!
It's really unlucky, drinking cold water will clog your teeth...
※ ※ ※
The next day, there were many reporters at the gate of Wilford, and they all wanted to come here to confirm whether what Carl Spike said on TV last night was true.
Tang En's hoarse voice seemed a bit small in front of these reporters. The troubles that have come up these days made him feel powerless even if he wanted to be tough.
"Stop guessing..." He waved his hand. "It was my decision to play Rudd and I'm not going to shirk responsibility for it. I'm sad and shocked that the team lost such an important striker, but the team will definitely stick to it. We are third and in good shape , It's normal to have injuries. I don't see what you call a crisis. That's it, bye everyone."
After speaking, he was about to turn around and walk in.
A group of reporters rushed forward one after another: "Mr. Tony Twain! I have another question!"
"Mr. Tang En, I heard that you forced Ruud van Nistelrooy to play as a closed player?"
Tang En stared back at the reporters, and said coldly: "I'm in a bad mood, don't bother me! If you're curious, ask Carl Spike, doesn't he claim to have inside information? Let him know all the inside information he knows Let me tell you!"
After striding forward to shake off those reporters, Tang En stopped and looked up at the hazy sky.
At least eight months...
After Ruud van Nistelrooy returns from injury, who knows what it will be like?
Is the global economic crisis over?do we have moneyCan I wave my checkbook and buy people all over the world?What will happen to the team's results?Can we win a third European Cup in a row?Can we still defend the league title?What kind of breakthrough can be made in the FA Cup?
A year later, what happened to Nottingham Forest and me...?
