Chapter 279: Volume 3: Red Forest: Wood Learning to Be a Star Player (Part 2)
The direct fuse at the time was that it was tied 1:1 by Fulham, and the point gap with Chelsea and Arsenal had not narrowed. As a result, the goal scorer Alan Smith accused Ronaldo of playing too much Alone, not knowing how to cooperate with teammates, the two developed from a quarrel to a direct fight. Next, Ferguson announced that Ronaldo needed to return to his hometown in Portugal to rest for a period of time because of his poor condition.
Thinking of this, a smirk appeared on Tang En's face. Who knew if the real trigger would be the 2:2 draw with Manchester United by Nottingham Forest?
How much has he changed the experience he is familiar with, and how much will he change?
In the post-match press conference, because Ferguson inadvertently diverted the media's attention, Ronaldo became the focus of everyone's discussion, and Twain was liberated instead. He was also happy to watch the show from the sidelines, and then wondered in his heart whether Ronaldo would return to Portugal earlier than he knew.
Tang En, who has fully understood his situation, now finds it very interesting to compare what he is going through with the history he remembers.

On the second day, a large photo of Ronaldo being substituted with a dark face appeared in the "Sun". Everyone was discussing the internal problems of Manchester United, but ignored Nottingham Forest.
More and more shocking stories were dug out by these journalists who are born rats. Why did the Manchester United team tolerate that Portuguese kid for a long time? It’s not a day or two; Neville criticized Ronaldo for not considering his teammates...wait.
The British tabloids are buzzing like a festival these days.
On the contrary, the local media in Nottingham didn't care about the grievances between Ronaldo and Manchester United. Their focus was on the Forest team and George Wood. "Genius", "prodigy", "phenomenon"... whatever titles were given to him .
Originally, guys like Wood had very limited fans, including Fat John and his group, and female fans could hardly see them.
As a result, on the first day the Forest team returned to Nottingham to resume training, Tang En saw several young female fans outside the training ground holding up pictures of Wood, hoping for their idols to sign their names!
These girls are young and full of youthful vigor. As long as Wood is close to this side of the barbed wire, they will call out his name loudly.
As a result, this led to non-stop whistles during the team's practice. After getting along with Wood for a long time, everyone didn't feel so strange at the beginning. They all knew that although this kid was not very friendly, his character was still good. He won't get angry when he makes such harmless jokes occasionally.
"George, you already have female fans!" Among these people, Wes Morgan is probably the one who is most compatible with Wood, because they are both from the Nottingham youth team, and they have worked together before. Taking advantage of the rest time between training, the players sat around and joked about Wood.
"Are you jealous, Wes?" Ribery asked from the side.
"How is it possible? I already have girlfriends..." Weiss' rebuttal drew laughter from everyone.
Tang En and Chris Lark analyzed the training just now in the video room - the training video method implemented by Tang in the youth team was very effective, and was also introduced by Tang En to the first team, and the effect was also very good - walked out . Seeing the players chatting and laughing together, Dunn and Chris Rack looked at each other and smiled.
The atmosphere in the team is good, even if there are ups and downs in performance, as the head coach, he has nothing to worry about.
He walked over and stood outside the crowd and said to Wood, "Hey, George. Aren't you going to sign autographs for those beautiful girls? Do you have the heart to let the girls down?"
Hearing this, the players knew that their "boss" was here without turning their heads.
"I..." Wood has never dealt with female fans, let alone such enthusiastic female fans-waving at him from a long distance, and I found him screaming...
"What are you hesitating about? George, you are a star now, you can't do something to disappoint the fans!" Dunn urged Wood, "Go and sign them! This is part of the training! "
Wood turned his head to look at Tang En with a serious expression, got up from the ground, and then walked towards the cheerful female fans. He didn't seem to be going to sign autographs for the fans, but rather to die.
Then someone laughed.
Tang En nodded in the back and commented: "Don't laugh, guys. I think those female fans will like him more. These days, ignorant girls like cold handsome guys!"
The laughter grew louder.
Sure enough, as Tang En expected, Wood signed autographs for several girls with a stern face throughout the process, and by the way, he satisfied their request for a group photo. As a result, instead of making the other party unhappy, he got even more frenzied pursuit.
After this battle, George Wood really became famous. Twain knew that such scenes would be indispensable in the future. For Wood, this might be a good opportunity to gradually change his character...Of course, he had to be behind him from time to time Push two.
×, Wood, are you in the category of toothpaste? You can't squeeze it!

In the next league game, on December 4th, Nottingham Forest defeated Portsmouth 3:2 away, and the defense of the Forest team became the focus of attention. Because they were able to concede two goals against Portsmouth. This match, Dunn sat in the coach's bench and watched thrillingly.
The Forest team started off very smoothly and quickly took the lead with one goal, but the defense's own mistakes gave the opponent a chance and tied the game. Next, Portsmouth went all out and made another victory. If Tang En hadn't adjusted his tactics in time during the halftime break, I'm afraid the game would have been lost.
After turning defeat into victory and completing the big reversal, Twain was not as excited as he was at Old Trafford.
December 11th, the seventeenth round of the league. Before the game, analysts were unanimously optimistic, but Nottingham Forest lost to Charlton 1:2 at home.
Fortunately, on the next 15 days, in the last game of the UEFA Cup group match, the Forest team defeated Partizan Belgrade 3-0 at home and successfully qualified from the group. Give them a buffer.
However, they have just achieved good news in the European fixtures. Back in the league, the Forest team lost to Birmingham in the away game, 0:2.
Dunn knew it was time to make a change.
