Chapter 468: Volume 4: Storm, New Future

"UEFA spokesperson William Gaillard said in an interview with the media this morning that the behavior of Nottingham Forest coach Tony Twain after accepting the award was very inappropriate and inappropriate. The day after the previous match, Tony Twain explained his actions through the media, and believed that after the medals were issued to him, they belonged to his personal belongings, and how to dispose of them was his private behavior and had nothing to do with UEFA. Mr. Gaillard expressed this Regrettably, he believes that medals represent a kind of honor, and it is not appropriate to give away medals so rashly. He hopes that Coach Twain can set a correct example for his players..."

"Stupid role model!" Amidst the furious scolding, Tang En turned off the TV. "I hope they themselves set the right example for the whole of European football!"

A piece of paper in the hands of Evan Dogetty Yang, sitting behind the boss's desk, "This is a fax from UEFA, your post-match fine for 'inappropriately evaluating the referee' - £80,000 .Tony, you may be the head coach who gets the most tickets..."

Tang En paced back and forth in the room, looking a little anxious. "But it can't be my fault... I told the truth, and the truth is often not liked by anyone."

"As for the evidence, you don't have evidence. Mourinho can also say that his men saw Barcelona officials walk into the referee's lounge... What did you see?" Evan criticized calmly.

Tang En remained silent. He really had no evidence. It seemed that his words were more like the complaints and unwillingness of a loser.

"Tony. I understand your actions. If I were you, I might do the same... It's just possible. But, you can't always think about venting yourself. You make it difficult for Allen to do so." He glanced at the sitting Alan Adams on the other side of the chairman's office.

Tang En stopped and looked at the marketing manager of the club who was sitting silently on the sofa.

He knew that because of that incident, Allen must have something against him in his heart. After all, one of his jobs is to maintain and shape the new image of the Forest team, and what he did and said at the award ceremony of the Champions League final just destroyed the image he worked so hard to maintain... Let it go On himself, he probably wouldn't be happy either.

This is not the time to be awkward, let alone all of them are our own people. He didn't need to show embarrassment to his own people. It was UEFA, not Nottingham Forest, who made him angry.

"Uh... sorry, Alan. I didn't think of that before." He scratched his head, apologizing to Alan Adams. "You know, I'm a little impulsive... Even though I've been trying my best to exercise restraint, sometimes I still can't control myself. I want you to apologize."

Allen stood up, smiled and shook his head: "Don't be so nervous, Tony. You did cause me a little trouble, but...my job is to deal with these troubles. If there is no trouble, I may not know what to do Don't take it to heart." He walked over and patted Tang En on the shoulder. "The next time we reach the final..."

Tang En accepted his words: "I will not give away the gold medal easily."

Allen was taken aback for a moment, but after realizing what Tang En meant, he burst out laughing.

"You can give it to me." He winked at Tang En.

"Think beautifully."

"Tony, this fine... is still the old rule. The club will pay it for you. Next time, remember, when you want to say something impulsively, go through your brain first." Evan Daugherty raised the fine in his hand and pointed point to his head.

Tang En raised his hands: "I know... I have already deeply reflected on myself."

"In the hotel room?" Evan looked at Tang En and asked.

"I assure you, Evan." Tang En looked past Evan Dalgety, who was sitting by the window, to the blue sky. "We're going to have a fresh start."

The day after UEFA announced the punishment of Twain, Nottingham Forest officials also held a press conference, officially announcing that they would renew the contract with the team's meritorious coach Tony Twain.

As a news personality, Tang En's contract renewal conference was crowded with reporters from all over the place.

This press conference is somewhat of a show, because the two parties will sign on the spot in front of many reporters, instead of signing and releasing the news.

Some media regarded the Forest team's decision to announce the contract extension at this time as a protest against UEFA's punishment of Twain. This is a bit of an injustice to Nottingham Forest. After all, Tang En's contract with the club was for three years and expired at the end of this year. It is normal to consider renewing the contract at this time. UEFA's punishment and the support of Nottingham Forest? That can only be said to be a coincidence.

When the two protagonists, Evan Dalgety and Tony Twain, appeared at the venue, the reporters fell silent.

"This is a contract that has been prepared a long time ago. Coach Twain is very satisfied with all aspects." Evan Dougherty cut to the chase and got straight to the point. "Before the Champions League final, we have already decided to give Coach Twain a new contract, no matter what the result of the game is." He said this, which was equivalent to answering the previous questions from the media about the announcement of the renewal of the contract with Twain at this time, and UEFA Punishment has nothing to do with it, it was decided long ago.

"The club is very happy to see Coach Twain accepting this contract. After all, from me personally to ordinary stadium workers, I think Coach Tony Twain is the most suitable person to lead this team. He brought this ancient team A new life came, he regained his glory, he is the pride of this city..."

Tang En sat at the side, quietly listening to Evan's praise, without any embarrassment on his face.

"As I said earlier - there is no one better suited to lead Nottingham Forest than him. So the club offered him an eight-year contract."

This remark caused a commotion at the scene, and no one expected that Nottingham Forest would offer such a long-term contract. Eight years, after the expiration is 2014! Although it is said that coaching is a long-lived profession, it is not uncommon to coach a team for more than 20 years in English football, but in today's football, the flow of talents is accelerating, and the supremacy of interests has long made loyalty a joke. A contract is eight years. Does Nottingham Forest Club really have so much confidence in Twain?

Amid the noise, Tang En stood up, and everyone consciously quieted down, waiting for him to speak.

"I would like to thank the chairman of the club for his confidence in me. I love this team and this club. I can't think of where else I can go if I leave here. If possible, I hope that after eight years, I can still Sign with Mr. Chairman for another eight years, and after eight years, another eight years, until I am too old to work. Yes, that is what I hope."

At such a contract renewal press conference, Tang En also put away his usual teasing tone and casual expression. He looked very serious, wearing a black suit with a red tie that symbolized the Forest team, Twain seldom dressed so formally.

"It has been an honor to dedicate my entire coaching career to this great team."

It was rare for the reporters present to hear Tang En speak like this. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't sneer at the reporters. Seeing him dressed so formally and speaking touching words, the reporters always felt a little awkward...

After saying this, Dunn sat down with Evan Dalgety under the flashing light, spread out the contract text, and bowed his head to sign.

"...At that time, I said in the newspaper that this scene will surely become a moment that will be remembered for a long time in the future history of the Forest team. When people refer to this day in history, they will definitely say that Nottingham Forest and Tony Twain renewed their contract for eight years. Like Liverpool signing Bill Shankly, this is a great renewal. At that time, I was ridiculed to compare the great man with the clown as a manifestation of no common sense..." Later, the famous reporter and biographer Pierce Bruce wrote in the autobiographical novel "Red Memory says so. "Time has proven me right."

After signing their names, the two stood up and held hands together in front of the media.

"There is a piece of news that makes the head coaches of the Premier League teams very unhappy - Tony Twain has renewed his contract with Nottingham Forest Club for eight years, and he will fight with his team for another eight years." Evening Sports News Here, BBC5 reported the renewal.

"England national team coach Eriksen submitted the England national team squad to FIFA this morning. There is something special about this list. There is a person who is both unexpected and not unexpected. Nottingham Forest's The captain, George Wood, was selected into the squad by Eriksson and will be taken to Germany. George Wood had never been selected for the national team before. Although he performed well at the club, he did not play a minute for the national team... ..."

"Nottingham Forest has two players in the England squad, right-wing assist Ashley Young and defensive midfielder George Wood. Freddie Eastwood could have been on that list too, but Gypsy He turned down a call from the FA and chose to play for Wales because his grandfather was born in Wales..."

There was no report about Twain on the TV news, and now the focus of people's attention was on the World Cup. The Three Lions will embark on the journey again with the hopes of countless English people. The media naturally declared Eriksson's team to be the strongest England team in 30 years. Of course, they were four years ago. It was also said in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea...

When Wood saw the news at home, he received a congratulatory call from Tony Twain.

"Congratulations, boy. You are now an official member of the England national team!"

"Thank you." Wood's answer surprised Dunn, because his tone sounded calm, neither happy nor excited.

"I'm not in a good mood, why? This is something you never thought about when you decided to play football."

"Should I be happy?" Wood asked rhetorically.

"Well...in theory...yes. People who are first-timers call it the most important day of their lives, at least in their autobiography..."

"Will I be the main player?"

"You have to ask Eriksson about that." Dunn shrugged. "I don't care. He is the head coach of the national team. But...do you want to listen to my advice, George?"

"Um."

"Whether you are the main player or not, this is not your concern. You just need to train hard. If you are given a chance to play, don't think about anything and perform well. Remember, don't think about 'I am the main player'. Question. Do you remember the first time you played an official game for the Forest first team?"

"Remember."

"That's it."

Wood was silent for a while.

Tang En thought that there might be another reason for Wood's low mood: "Hey, you are still thinking about the Champions Cup final, right?"

Wood acquiesced.

"Ahem...that's how football games are, there are no generals who always win, and there are always times when you lose... Do you still remember what I said to you in the locker room when you messed up the youth team game and wanted to quit? "

Wood thought for a while, nodded: "I still remember."

"If you lose here, you can win it back there. If you lose this game, you can win it back in the next game. If you feel unwilling, try to win it back later."

"I see."

"One last piece of advice: whenever you do, remember that you walked out of Nottingham Forest, and don't embarrass me."

After finishing the call with Tang En, mother walked into Wood's bedroom.

"Mr. Dunn calling?"

Wood nodded and put the phone back on the table.

"Unexpected..." Sophia stood at the door, tilting her head and looking at her son. "My George will also become an England national team player one day."

Wood was a little embarrassed by the words, and looked out the window sideways.

He felt a pair of hands gently wrapping around his waist, and his mother's forehead was pressed against his back.

"It's a lot wider...George will be shy when he grows up."

"Mother……"

"Wherever you are, keep going, George."

"Um."

"Hey, Tang, we're going to change our schedule." After talking on the phone with Wood, Tang En went downstairs to find Tang.

"Go back to China first?"

Tang En nodded: "After the World Cup is over, we will be busy. I didn't expect this before. We will return to China first, and then go directly to Germany from China."

"when are we leaving?"

"In a few days, wait for my affairs to be finished."

Don nodded in agreement.

Twain's "things here" are also related to the World Cup.

Originally, according to the usual practice, he needed to write a ball commentary for the "Nottingham Evening Post" during the World Cup.

However, because he successfully "predicted" the major event that the Greek team won the championship during the European Cup, during this World Cup, he was targeted by larger media.

The BBC hopes to sign a short-term contract with Twain, and serve as a guest commentator for their broadcast matches during the World Cup. Twain likes this job very much. When he used to watch football games, he always scolded the commentators and commentators for being full of nonsense. He didn't make any mistakes, except for repeating the nonsense that everyone knew and presumptuously playing "inner monologues" for those players. "I don't know anything, and I can say it myself better than those so-called experts. Now I finally have a way to pass the addiction of being a commentator.

Since it is hired, it is natural to have to pay. But Twain didn't care about these little money. After renewing his contract with the club, his annual salary rose to 2.7 million pounds. Even though this figure didn't even make it into the top five in the Premier League's coaching income rankings, it was still very important for the coaches who traveled from China. For him in the UK, this is not a small amount. Not to mention the Chinese, many British people can't earn enough for Tang En's annual income in their entire lives.

His initial idea was that even if the BBC didn't pay him a penny, he would take the job. But after telling Shania, it caused Shania's criticism.

Shania's opinion is not only asking for money, but also raising the price with the BBC. Her reason was that Tang En was now considered a well-known coach. Although he could say that he didn't care about money, this salary was directly related to his status. Less money means that people don't value you, and the more money you have, the higher your status will be. This is the same as the model catwalk. The appearance fees of the world's supermodels must be much higher than those who have just debuted.

Twain accepted Shania's opinion. No matter what he said now, he was also the coach who led the team to the Champions Cup final, so he couldn't be dismissed casually.

Therefore, the main job these days is to negotiate specific contracts with people from the BBC.

Out of good intentions, Shania wanted her manager to help Tang En talk, but Tang En politely declined. He didn't want to find an agent for himself, even if it was temporary.

Because of George Wood's matter, he doesn't like the agent very much. Although he has no opinion on Shania's agent, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the agent.

The final negotiation went smoothly. The BBC expressed enough sincerity, and Tang En did not make things difficult for the other party. The two parties quickly signed the contract. Then the BBC announced that the famous coach Tony Twain would appear as a special guest in the live commentary during the World Cup.

Although he lost in the final of the Champions Cup, it seems that Twain has gained more things now... The club's new contract represents trust and encouragement, and the TV station's contract means a great reputation. George Wood, who was discovered and cultivated by him at the beginning The boy is now one of the twenty-three people in England, which proves his vision and coaching level from another angle.

The pain and frustration of failure has become yesterday, and it is gradually going away. Now he has to face a brand new future, and he is full of confidence. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in
