Chapter 265: Volume 3: Red Forest, Wood's Struggle (Part 2)

"George, think about it, from when you stood on my doorstep and said: 'I think you should sign the best player in England', to now you are the main player of the Forest team and have played all the seasons. Competition. What has changed in you? You are stronger, countless times stronger than that silly boy back then. It has been almost two years, time flies, but your progress is faster. If you are not willing to lose to Li Kerme, you have no power to fight back, so don't sit here and sulk. You should work harder. If you want to beat your opponent earlier, you have to work a hundred times harder than usual! Do you understand what I mean? "

Wood nodded: "Understood."

Tang En smiled: "That's right. The game that has already been lost, let it go, don't put on such a dead face to make everyone depressed with you. If you are not reconciled, just fill your belly with resentment Vent on the training ground. Demi is a very experienced midfielder, you can learn a lot from him, and these things are enough for you to retire."

"I know, he... is amazing." The arrogant Wood rarely admired someone, but the Italian who always put a smile on his face convinced him.

Hearing Wood's two words in one breath, Tang En knew that Wood's mood had improved, so he rubbed his hands and stretched out two fingers: "Just before I came to talk to you, about the next game , I have two choices in my mind. A, let you rest for a round of the league and tell the outside media that you are exhausted and need to be rotated; B, continue to let you start the game, but I will not express any opinion on the media.”

"I have no problem with my physical strength." Wood said, he had already helped Tang En make a choice.

"I think so too, George." Tang En nodded, "If I said that you were resting due to injury or physical reasons, first of all I would not believe it myself. So now I only have a choice of 'B'. But stay You don't have much time, you don't have the opportunity to work hard on the training ground and we're going to Old Trafford in three days, we're playing Manchester United. You're ready to start those early tomorrow mornings Has the person who questioned you shut up?"

Tang En looked at Wood and asked, and Wood also looked at Tang En, but he didn't rush to answer. After a while, he asked back: "Is Manchester United very good?"

It's not like Wood is playing dumb on purpose, he doesn't have that sense of humor yet.

Before he was promoted to the Premier League, George Wood never cared about the situation of the English Premier League, and he never cared about the situation of English football before playing football. The beginning of this season was originally a low period for Manchester United. It is normal for him not to know that the Red Devils are strong.

Tang En laughed: "Have you never read newspapers, news or TV? Villarreal only has Riquelme, but Manchester United has several players like Riquelme."

Hearing what Tang En said, Wood's eyes lit up.

Tang En was right. When they woke up overnight and opened their eyes, most of the comments about the forest team's game yesterday were almost related to Wood. Ninety-nine percent of those related to Wood were criticizing his performance yesterday.

It is not a criticism to say that he is young and inexperienced. The English media are already harsh and don't pay attention to "good morals" at all. Some commentary articles directly said that George Wood was as stupid as a pig in front of the Argentines.

"Riquelme's tempo is slow enough, George Wood's reaction is slower than him!"

"...Yes, the Spaniards work very late, but please note that the kick-off time of this game is not twelve midnight, and there is no late night snacks for the fans to satisfy their hunger at the Ballad Stadium. George Wood is on the court like an early In the middle of the night, drowsy!"

"Seeing him being played around by the Argentines, I couldn't help but turn off the TV..."

"Why not use a more experienced Brenya Gunnarsson? George Wood's résumé is so clean it's unbelievably clean. Why bother playing against a player like Riquelme away? Let such a child defend? The two of them are not at the same level of players!"

"We all know that Tony Twain's tactic is to let George Wood protect the space behind Albertini, so that he can free up his hands to organize the attack. Nottingham Forest is a guest at the Ballad Stadium, and the defensive counterattack requires the Italian's precise long pass. But that idiot Wood didn't complete his task at all, and in the end he asked Albertini to give up his offense to help him defend..."

"...To put it bluntly, Coach Twain has a kind of paranoid trust in George Wood that ordinary people can't understand. Let's take a look at the appearance records of Nottingham Forest players since the beginning of this season. Except for No. 1 goalkeeper Darren Ward In addition, who has played all the games, leagues, cups...and never missed a minute-George Wood. Well, the problem is clear, so how to solve it?"

...

The "George Wood Criticism Conference" is almost one-sided. If the players who are criticized are weak in psychological quality, they will probably be drowned in the spitting stars by this group of unscrupulous media.

But what they met was a professional player who never watched the news and didn't care about what happened in this circle.

The Villarreal game ended on the evening of November 25th, and the away game against Manchester United on the 28th left only two days for the Forest team. In a war of words, it's too stupid.

There were still many reporters around the gate of Wilford's training base, but they couldn't possibly interview any Forest player. Tony Twain also refused to accept any interviews. And under his instruction, the club canceled the routine press conference on the 26th.

When the British media fired up the topic, the Forest team closed the door to them. Nobody knows what's going on in the team.

Even after arriving in Manchester by car from Nottingham, Twain didn't open his mouth to utter a single word in front of the hotel where the team was staying. The disappointed media could only wait for the press conference held the day before the game after adapting to the venue. At that time, the head coaches of both sides will be present, and they will not be able to pry Twain's mouth away.

In order to satisfy the public’s voyeuristic desire, the media that can’t get the news can only write based on their imagination, each of which begins with “According to a player of the Forest Team” and “According to a senior person of the Forest Club”

What a riot broke out in the locker room, Gunnarson accused George Wood of being sleepwalking, hoping to get a chance to start. Why are the club executives very dissatisfied with Coach Twain's stubborn employment? What George Wood broke out with Albertini in training, punching and kicking...

As bizarre as the readers want, these reports are as bizarre as they are written, fully satisfying the readers' expectations.

So when Ferguson saw his assistant Queiroz holding a newspaper with Twain's photo in his hand at Old Trafford, reading it with gusto, he said disdainfully: "What are you looking at? Collecting information from our opponents. The latest developments? Don’t believe anything the media says, sometimes you can’t even believe what you tell them yourself.”

Queiroz smiled and raised his head to the old Scottish man and said, "No, boss. I'm reading a novel."
