Chapter 282: Volume 3: Red Forest, Merry Christmas (Part 1)

When Tang En took Wood to the youth base to find Tang, he had just finished his day's work and was about to go home as planned.

"Don't go back, we have other arrangements tonight." Tang En said to him.

Tang looked at Wood who was with Tang En, and nodded: "I understand. But..."

"but?"

"That's not okay." Tang pointed at himself.

It was only then that Tang En noticed that Tang was still wearing a somewhat bloated sports jacket. He himself is not very used to wearing that thing, even in normal training, he still dresses similarly to the gang boss - a dark red suit representing the forest team, a white shirt, and a black woolen trench coat.

He looked up and down, and agreed with Tang's opinion: "Indeed... let's go back." He turned to Wood and said, "George, you go back first, we will go there when we are ready."

Wood nodded and turned away.

Tang En and Tang walked from another direction, which was closer to Branford Garden Street where they lived.

They walked through the youth team's training ground. The young players were basically gone, and now only the turf maintenance staff were left to water the training ground they had just used.

Dunn paused on the sidelines for a while, looking around the empty training base. Tang asked him from behind: "What do you think of?"

"I also stayed here for half a season..." Dunn pointed to the training ground and said, "No, it doesn't even count as half a season. Although the time was short, what I learned during that time, Let me use it until now. I have read all the notes and books you put on the bookshelf at home." He turned back and said to Tang. "Your teacher is Paul Hart, and mine is you."

"Why are you thinking about this today?" Tang didn't have a happy smile on his face, and he continued to ask.

"It's nothing... Another year has passed, and I feel a little bit emotional."

Tang, who was standing behind Tang En, opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he gave up on this plan and continued to remain silent.

"A year ago, George was still training in this field. I promised to transfer him to the first team after Christmas. At that time, I was still thinking, let him train in the first team first, and the game will return to the youth team and the reserve team. Playing, occasionally entering the first team's substitute list, and occasionally coming off the bench at the last moment to feel the atmosphere of the official game, and then after a season, I can slowly try to let him play more games... Unexpectedly, That kid's performance far exceeded my plan..." Tang En looked up at the gloomy sky, "Now, Don, do you know? I get inquiries from several clubs almost every day, all about him of."

Tang nodded: "When I was still in the forest youth team, he didn't exist in the youth team." It meant that this was a rookie discovered by Tang En himself, and he turned a corner and praised Tang En for cultivating young players and discovering talents Ability.

Tang En turned his head and smiled at him, thanking him for his compliment. "let's go."

When the two came to the side entrance of the youth team's training base, they saw Gareth Bell and his father there. The old Bell was putting a scarf on Gareth.

Facing the gate, Old Bell saw two coaches walking side by side, and quickly waved his hand to greet them.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Tang En! Merry Christmas, Mr. Tang!"

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Bell. Why haven't you returned yet?" Twain was a little surprised to meet his first signing here.

"We're getting ready to drive back."

Bell turned around and greeted the two coaches.

He was stronger and more confident than the last time Tang En saw him. It seemed that he was doing very well in the youth team.

Tang standing beside Tang En said to Gareth Bell: "Bell, don't forget to come on the afternoon of the 29th."

Bell nodded happily.

What Tang was talking about was a Christmas awards ceremony held inside the Nottingham Forest Club on the afternoon of December 29th. At that time, many awards selected by the club will be awarded, such as the best player of the year, the best coach of the year, the The best youth player, the best rookie of the year... In addition to the first time, there are some very interesting awards, such as the most popular coach of the year, the most popular player of the teammate of the year, the best turf maintainer of the year...etc. .

As the head coach, Twain already knew who these awards belonged to, but the players themselves only knew who had entered the shortlist. Of course, no matter whether they are nominated or not, they will all come on the 29th. This is also a Christmas reception in itself.

In the past, the performance of the Forest team had ups and downs, and then fell into a trough. Facing the economic crisis, the club had no intention of doing these things. Now that Evan has come to power and the situation has stabilized, he will pick up this tradition again and package it in a more modern way. This is also a great opportunity to win over people's hearts, cultivate a sense of belonging to the players and clubs, and re-establish Nottingham Forest's image.

After seeing off Gareth and his son, Tang En and Tang went back to clean up and prepare for the appointment.

The two walked slowly back to No. 13 Branford Garden Street, but Tang En saw a person sitting in front of his house from a long distance away. He wondered who would be sitting on the steps of the door, and when he approached, he was even more surprised: "Shania!"

Hearing Tang En's voice, Judy Shania Jordana, who was sitting at the door with her head down and dozed off, suddenly raised her head. When she saw that the person standing in front of her was indeed Tony Dunn, her face showed With a happy smile: "Merry Christmas, Uncle Tony!"

"Uh, Merry Christmas, Shania... why are you here?"

Seeing Tang En's question, Shania pursed her lips: "Did you forget? I said I would come and spend Christmas with you!"

"No, that's not what I mean...I mean...haven't you been with your aunt and the others tonight?" Tang En knew that Shania had misunderstood, so he quickly explained.

"I spent Christmas Eve with them, and I'm here today. I didn't call you specifically, just to surprise you, aren't you welcome?" Shania still pouted.

"How could you not be welcome?" Tang En opened the door, "Come in, little girl."

Shania lifted the large backpack that was placed on the ground that was seriously out of proportion to her body, and smiled at Tang who was standing beside her: "Merry Christmas, Uncle Tang! I won't bother you, will I?"

Tang shook his head: "No, Tony told me already. He will clean your room himself every week..."

Tang En coughed beside him.

Shania glanced sideways at Tang En, and finally showed a naughty smile on her face. Then he walked in with his head held high. Tang En waited for Tang to come up from behind, and complained in a low voice: "Why are you talking so much today?"

"Didn't you tell me to be more outgoing after meeting people?" Tang asked back, and Tang En suddenly lost his words. Yep, I'm stuck in a cocoon.

"Hey, you guys haven't come in yet, what are you talking about outside?" Shania turned her head and found Tang En and Tang standing outside the door.

"Ah, no, nothing..." Tang En walked in first, and after entering the room, Tang went straight to his room upstairs to shower and change.

Shania wanted to be at her own home even more, went straight upstairs and opened her bedroom door. Sure enough, it is exactly the same as Xia Tian, ​​the room is very tidy, it seems Tang is right. Uncle Tony does clean this unoccupied room every week. She let out a cry of excitement, then left her backpack at the door, flew onto the bed, hugged the big Totoro doll, buried her face in the furry Totoro's stomach, and rubbed it back and forth. He yelled non-stop.

At this time, Tang En was thinking about another problem in the living room.

Sophia originally invited herself and Tang to her house for the holiday, but now there is an extra Shania. It is certainly impossible for him to leave the little girl here alone, and then go to the appointment with Tang. And he could also say that he rejected Sophia's invitation and stayed with Shania. The only way now is to take Shania to Sophia's house.

It's just that I don't know if Xia Yatou agrees to such an arrangement?

Thinking of this, Tang En went upstairs to ask Shania for advice: "Shania?"

"Huh?" Shania sat up from the bed when Tang En called her.

"are you hungry?"

Shania shook her head: "Not hungry!"

"Uh, are you tired?"

Shania continued to shake her head: "Not tired!"

"Then... let's go out for an appointment in a while."

"Appointment?"

"Well... do you know George Wood?"

Shania nodded: "Of course I know, as a Forest team fan, even Wood doesn't know, it's too shameful!"

Tang En giggled, the little girl's serious expression was so cute. "His mother invited us to dinner tonight."

"Great, I'm going too!"

"Of course, how could it be possible to leave Shania alone in a cold and dark home? Put on your most beautiful clothes, little angel." Dunn winked at Shania, and then backed out. Forgot to bring it to the door.

Don was already dressed and sitting on the sofa when he came downstairs. He was wearing a dark blue jacket with a turtleneck over it, and he didn't look like Don Ke, the football coach who wore a sports jacket all day long.

Seeing Tang En walking down, Tang said to him: "I admit..."

"Um?"

"The current Tony Twain has a much richer life than the former Tony Twain."

Tang En laughed: "Isn't this very good?"

Tang nodded and murmured, "That's right...it's good..."
