Chapter 191: Volume 2: Sky of Nottingham, Footsteps of the Premier League (Part 1)
The madness of celebrating Nottingham Forest's return to England's top competition lasted for three full days in the ancient city of Nottingham, and the town hall square in the city center was full of people. The media have written that this is reminiscent of the moment when the Forest team won the European Champions Cup for the first time in 1979. At that time, Nottingham was empty, and the celebration crowd extended from Birmingham Airport to Nottingham. team fans.
Of course, the Forest team, which only won the second place in the league, did not need to take a bus to parade, which would be a bit smug.
Nevertheless, on the night of the game, the Forest team held a small internal celebratory dinner. Evan Dalgety fulfilled his previous promise and invited all the players and staff of the team to the most famous Chinese restaurant in Nottingham at his own expense. All the rules at the banquet are gone, the wine can be drunk openly, and no one will blame them for getting drunk.
Evan Dalgety was also very excited, but he was the chairman of the club, and everyone couldn't have fun with him present. He also congratulated the players in a simple and witty manner, then sent out the promised bonus, and left with an excuse. Of course, he also had his own celebration, but the people who attended that party were completely different from the players who are now shouting. It was a very small dinner party, but everyone who should have come came. The guests were well-dressed and behaved politely. These people may not be fans, and their purpose of going is not to celebrate Forest's return to the Super League. There are more attractive things waiting for them.
After Evan and Alan left, Twain led the players to play wild. He himself was drunk by at least fifteen people. In the end, he didn't know how many bottles of beer he drank. In short, the wine glass in his hand seemed to be never empty... Therefore, when he woke up the next day, his temples were still bulging and painful .
On the following day, there were all kinds of phone calls, all of which were congratulations and thanks. There was a special call from Yang Yan, and there was also a call from Kenny Burns... On the night of the game, his stomach was dedicated to the team , This evening, he went to the Forest Bar to participate in the free event organized by Burns to celebrate the Forest team's return to the Super League. At the same time, he would also like to thank those fans who have always supported him and the team.
All in all, another dark hangover. Drinking it for two days made his complexion look ugly, and his spirit was also affected. He didn't have that kind of ecstasy, but rather collapsed.
Thinking that the team will have the last assembly of the season this morning, he will also speak at that time. He dedicated half an hour to the shower, trying not to look like an alcoholic.
On May 11th, it was a beautiful morning with bright sunshine and gentle breeze. Faced with such weather, Tang En's spirit finally recovered.
This may be the first time Twain came later than the players. When he arrived at the training ground, there were already players in twos and threes on it, and they gathered together and chatted relaxedly. This is not a training day, so no one went to the locker room to change their training clothes. They wore casual T-shirts and shirts, and there was no tension on their faces. Crouch is the most exaggerated, he even brought a large suitcase to the training base, wearing a fancy plaid shirt and shorts.
Tang En looked him up and down for a long time, and Crouch was so embarrassed that he frowned and muttered: "Damn it, Pete. You must have gone to the wrong place. This is Wilford, not Hawaii."
Amidst the laughter, Crouch said embarrassedly: "Boss...Actually, I bought a ticket to Barcelona at 12:00 noon...I think I will go directly to Birmingham airport from here."
Tang En raised his eyebrows: "So I'm going to make a long story short, otherwise you won't be able to catch the plane, and if you can't catch the plane, you won't be able to enjoy the sunny beaches and celestial baths in Spain! Ah! Those enthusiastic Spanish girls have already opened their hearts. Waiting for you! But if you don't get on the plane, it's all over...you're going to be sad, aren't you, Pete?"
The people around were almost lying on the ground laughing, and they all liked to see Tang En making serious jokes with acrimony. This is his unique skill to liven up the atmosphere.
"No... I didn't mean that, boss..." Crouch didn't know how to explain, he was worried that the head coach was really angry.
"Okay, I won't waste too much of your time. Compared with the chattering of a middle-aged man like me, a Spanish beauty wearing nothing is more attractive, I know." Dunn sighed deliberately disappointed , the laughter around was a little smaller-those people had no strength to laugh out loud. "Actually, you can completely understand it as the jealousy of an old man who can't find a girlfriend until now..."
Speaking of this, Tang En himself laughed, he could no longer maintain a stern expression, especially when he saw Crouch with a flushed face.
"Is everyone here?" He glanced at it, and Walker replied in a tacit understanding: "Everyone is here, Tony."
"Very good. In order not to delay the courtship trip of the tall and handsome Mr. Peter Crouch to Spain, let's start." Hearing what Tang En said, everyone gathered together while laughing.
"The weather is fine." Tang En stood in the middle of the circle, squinting his eyes and looking up at the sun in the sky. Walker beside him was empty-handed and didn't hold anything like a tactical board. "I'm in a good mood. I believe that when you woke up yesterday morning, no matter what the first thing you saw when you opened your eyes, or who was lying next to you, the first thing you did was touch your wallet, and then let out a long breath: Virgin Mary, the prize money is still there!"
The players let out a burst of laughter.
"I said guys, you finally don't have to worry about being punished for being late for training. Even if you sleep until midnight, you won't receive a love call from the club: Hello! Baby, lazybones, you should Wake up! I'm going to be late for school..." Tang En tilted his head and imitated his mother's voice as if making a phone call, and then he suddenly screamed. "No! You're already late, you little rascal, what did you do last night?!"
There was a louder laugh. Since Twain returned to the city stadium, he has formulated a series of team rules on restraining players, including this one: If you are half an hour late for training, the coaching staff will call directly to "condolences" and ask the players what they have Things lead to not coming to training yet.
After making jokes and cheering up those who hadn't woken up, Tang En decided to say something serious. He turned to look at the entire coaching staff standing behind him, and then said to the players: "For us this season, there has been a bad first half that couldn't be worse, and another one that I can no longer expect. Fantastic second half. I would like to thank my coaching staff, the team doctor... for all the people who work for the team. I would not have been able to lead the team without your support. The team is going to win."
There was applause from both sides.
