Chapter 615 Volume 5 Red Cell Phone

Nottingham Forest left Istanbul, and the war of words between the media in England and Turkey has just begun. After the game, Twain revealed to the English media that the Besiktas fans caroused all night outside the hotel where the Forest team stayed. These off-court gimmicks have always been very popular with the media.

The English media accused the Turkish fans of having no quality. This method of interfering with opponent players' rest is too low-handed. Of course, some English media also criticized Besiktas for their poor home discipline. Objects were always thrown from the stands during the game, and the police did not see any substantive actions to stop this unsportsmanlike spirit.

These are all well-documented things. Besiktas fans carnivaled all night under the hotel, making noise to disturb the Forest team, and the photos provided by the Forest team as evidence.

It seems that the Turkish media can only bear the infamy.

But they soon found a weapon to fight back.

There are photos from the scene that Tang En picked up a red mobile phone from the ground when he walked out of the coach's bench to direct the game, and threw the phone back to the coach's bench. He probably took it for himself in the end.

Coupled with the red card that sent Zagram to the stands that caused controversy during the game, the Turkish media accused Tony Twain of being a thief, pointing out with a pun that Twain not only stole a mobile phone, but Stole the victory that should have belonged to Besiktas from the Inonu Stadium.

With the hype from the media, the mobile phone Tang En picked up during the game has also become one of the focuses of everyone's attention.

After some media magnified the photo of the scene several times, they found that it was a red Apple IPHONE mobile phone, and the Apple mobile phone took the opportunity to make a free advertisement.

Some media went to interview Tang En and asked him if he had really "stolen" this fashionable mobile phone. Dunn shook his head in denial: "No, I'm just keeping it temporarily. I've already talked to the owner of this phone and promised to return it to her when she comes to England to watch an away game."

The interviewing reporter noticed that Tang En used "She" instead of "He", and he asked gossipingly, "A beautiful woman?"

Tang En was taken aback by the question, and then looked at the other party with the eyes of an alien: "Mr. Reporter, you can tell what the other party looks like just by the voice on the phone, but I can't."

The reporter also realized that he was too idiotic to ask. But Tang En didn't say that it doesn't matter if it's a beauty or not. He was keenly aware that this was a gimmick that could be hyped up.

When it comes to the story behind this phone, it's a bit more interesting than a football game.

On the night of the game, Nottingham Forest did not stay overnight in the hotel, but chose to fly back to the UK directly at night. Because Tang En turned off his mobile phone on the court, and then he didn't let him turn on his mobile phone when he went to the plane. He didn't remember to turn it on until he arrived in London by plane.

As a result, as soon as I turned it on, I received a call.

Tang En was hesitant to answer the call. After all, it wasn't his cell phone. After the game, he was busy celebrating the victory and forgot about it. He didn't expect it to be brought directly to England.

When Tang En was hesitating, the ringtone of the phone disappeared, and it seemed that the other party hung up impatiently. In the end, before Tang En could breathe a sigh of relief, the terrible bell rang again.

This time, a somewhat annoyed Tang En picked up the phone: "Hello..."

"Give me back my phone!" A female voice came from over there, speaking in broken English.

Tang En was overwhelmed by these words, but was happy instead: "Shouldn't you be more polite and use honorifics when you ask for something? This lady."

"Have you ever seen someone use honorifics to a thief, sir!" The female voice pushed back without showing any weakness. Although he is not fluent in English, he expresses this emotion very clearly - anger.

"Hey, dear lady, if this is your mobile phone, then you threw it to me yourself, how can you say I stole it?"

"I..." The female voice was at a loss for words.

It was indeed thrown down by herself. She wanted to hit Tang En, but she missed it a little bit. And what she didn't expect at the time was that Tang En would lean over, pick up the phone and throw it back to the coach's bench, taking it for himself!

At that time, she threw her mobile phone because she was dazed by the atmosphere of the scene, and wanted to show off to the opponent's coach and warn him. The people next to me are throwing coins and lighters. She doesn't smoke, so she doesn't have a lighter, and she never carries coins with her. The only thing she can throw out is this Apple phone that she just bought, so she was excited... …

When she calmed down after the game, she regretted her original actions very much. She doesn't feel bad about throwing away other things. This mobile phone was bought with great difficulty. The IPHONE has not officially landed in Turkey at this time... Naturally, it will take several times of effort to buy it and try it out.

She thought of calling her cell phone, negotiating, and getting her phone back. Unexpectedly, after calling countless times, all of them turned off. The more she dialed, the angrier she became. When Tang En finally picked up the call, she naturally wouldn't talk to the other party.

"Even if I still got it myself, I didn't intend to throw it away! It's just...just because of a moment of excitement...so, if you take it without my consent, it's stealing!" The female voice paused for a while, and finally came up with an idea. rhetoric.

Tang En smiled even more happily. Because he found that the person on the other end of the phone had no fighting power at all, and if he seriously lost, it would be himself. So he said in a mocking tone: "Hey, lady, you were trying to hit me on the head with this thing. You know what it means to be hit on the head by such a big thing, right?"

There was silence again. The silence was a bit long this time, so long that Tang En thought that the phone signal had failed.

"Okay..." the female voice said with some reluctance, "I apologize to you for my impulsive and reckless behavior at that time, Mr. Tang En...you can return the phone to me now!"

"Ah, although your apology is not very sincere...but it's not important, I can accept it. But, lady, I don't think I can return the phone to you now." Tang En said with a smile.

"Why? I've already apologized, what are you going to do!" The one who apologized just now whispered and was chased away by the scream.

Tang En held the phone a little further away from his ears. The boos and roars of the 20,000 crazy Turkish fans at the Inonu Stadium didn't deafen his ears, but this one was really terrible.

"Well... because I'm in England, lady."

As soon as he said that, there was silence for the third time. After a while, the woman said, "You can send it to me by courier."

Tang En shook his head like a rattle: "No way. Your apology just now was too insincere. I can return your phone, but I don't want to be tricked. I like sincerity, and your apology is not sincere enough."

"You just said it was acceptable..." the woman protested.

"I've changed my mind again." Dunn looked rascal. "I need an apology with enough sincerity to consider giving you the phone back."

Seeing the silence over there, Tang En said: "Well, doesn't Besiktas still have an away game? On November 6th, since you are a Besiktas fan, you will come Did you watch the game away?"

Tang En waited here for a while, but there was still no sound on the other side. It really made people wonder if there was no one on the other end of the phone.

"When you come to Nottingham, use this mobile phone. We will meet before the game. If you apologize in person, I will give you the mobile phone. I promise that there will be no media at that time. What do you think of this idea?" As for why not choose After the game, Twain was afraid that something would change after Besiktas lost, and it was not appropriate for the two to meet. Just put it before the game, and even if the Forest team wins Besiktas by eight goals, he can only cheer and celebrate his team's victory, and he doesn't have to worry about meeting a Besiktas fan Would this be an embarrassing question?

"Okay... okay." The voice finally came from the other end of the phone, although it was a bit reluctant. "Anyway, I will definitely come to cheer for the team...but I hope you keep your promise, Mr. Tang En."

Tang En nodded: "Men count what they say, and those who don't count are not men."

This woman was so weak that Tang En couldn't even arouse his interest in continuing to fight with her. If another person insisted on letting Tang En express it to Turkey, Tang En could do nothing about it. If he didn't return it, he would be illegally occupying other people's property.

After solving the mobile phone problem, Tang En didn't worry about it anymore. Anyway, when she called, he would go to see her and return the mobile phone by himself. There were still two weeks before the start of the second round of the Champions Cup group stage. Tang En was afraid that the phone would run out of battery, so he turned it off and threw it at home.

Due to the accidental appearance of a small thing like a mobile phone, everyone's attention on the Forest team's game was shifted from the game itself to gossip outside the field. Few people care about the result of the game - except for the Forest fans themselves.

Only the "Nottingham Evening Post" was penned by Pierce Bruce, who wrote a commentary, praising Twain's team for successfully surviving the crisis of consecutive victories and team fights, and responded to all the previous waiting with an away victory. Boring people watching Forest jokes. Taking into account the enthusiasm of the opponent's home court atmosphere, it is not easy to get these three points. It also proved the strength of the Forest team from another aspect.

As a result, Dunn's team didn't give Bruce any face and lost again in the league.

Back in England, the Forest team has carried out a full rotation in the league. The continuous campaign has made many people feel tired and their state is not very stable. In the end, in this strong dialogue, the Forest team lost 0:1 away to Liverpool. The Liverpool people finally let out a sigh of relief. Tang En was also a little upset, but he couldn't help it. The team fights continuously, the opponents are all strong teams, and there is no chance to breathe. He must use rotation to sacrifice immediate interests to ensure long-term interests later. This result was something he had mentally prepared for before going to Liverpool.

However, regarding the loss of this game, the media in England did not add insult to injury, mocking and criticizing their hated Tony Twain. It wasn't that they suddenly became merciful, but that there was something far worse than Twain's misfortune. During this time, most of the mainstream media in England were hyping up the crap about England's European Cup qualifiers.

During this period of time, English football was very lively, except for the "scandal" of players fighting in Nottingham Forest. In the European Cup qualifiers on October 17th, England lost 1:2 to Russia in an away game. McLaren's team has been cornered. Whether they can finally qualify is not in their own hands, but depends on the other people's faces. Before this game, the "scandal" of Ashley Young having sex with someone on the Internet broke out, coupled with the background of the away game loss, the public opinion was in an uproar. When my team is facing a life-and-death battle, the players on the team have sex with women on the Internet before the game... This is really unacceptable.

Fortunately, Ashley Young is no longer in the Forest team, otherwise the Wilford training base would be overcrowded again...

However, compared with the fights, fights, and rapes of teammates, the fact that the England team is facing the dilemma of not being able to get out of the line is the real biggest scandal.

McLaren has been under tremendous pressure during this period. Maybe Ashley Young, who is not up to date, can share some of the anger of the English people with him, but in the final analysis, it is because of him as the head coach that all these consequences are caused. inability.

When the team was in crisis in the first half of the year, he finally remembered Beckham, who performed well in Real Madrid, and recalled him to the team. Beckham was dropped by McLaren after helping England through with three assists in two games.

In the match against Russia, although McLaren called Beckham into the team, he went to take Moscow together. But he was not given enough time, and he was only sent on the field in the last eight minutes. At that time, England was already behind, and the team was in a mess, and a Beckham going up would have no effect at all. Beckham is not a god either, he can only watch helplessly as the team loses this battle of life and death. The next time he returned to the club, he was injured in training, and he could only be reduced to a guest in several consecutive games.

This made Dunn very angry. His point is, I have no problem with you playing for my country with my players because my players want to play for their country. But you took my man to Moscow, thousands of miles away, and you only gave him eight minutes to save the team. Not to mention being too demanding, my players flew back and forth for more than ten hours just for these eight minutes. In this place, the journey was exhausting, and he was injured during training, which was obviously caused by fatigue. In such a situation, who do I turn to for reasoning? If you don't trust my people and don't want to use them, then you don't take them at all, and you can let Beckham rest. You took them for several days and only let him play for eight minutes. What do you think of my players? up?

Twain bombarded McLaren for this issue in the media at the time, but McLaren wisely chose to remain silent. He had just lost a crucial game, so it was inappropriate to say anything at this time, and he could only let time to handle everything. Said to the outside world that he was concentrating on preparing for the last real life-and-death battle, and did not want to be disturbed by the media.

Tang En said: Prepare your shit, the FA might as well start preparing for the issue of choosing a successor.

In fact, despite Tang En's fierce rhetoric in the media, the emotional bombardment that McLaren ruined England, in fact, he was secretly happy. Because McLaren's poor performance proved that his previous tireless crusade was correct and prescient, and it was definitely not as simple as a simple personal grievance. Now, no one would say that Tang En is too annoying, chasing someone and biting him hard. Because the whole country is criticizing McLaren.

As for whether England was really ruined, Twain was not interested. He has absolutely no affection for this country, and his affection for football in this country is not much better. If England is ruined, it will be ruined. Anyway, if McLaren is allowed to lead the team, they will be lucky enough to enter the finals, and they will just lose a bigger person.

Twain may not care about the fate of the England team, but the English players in his team will definitely be affected.

George Wood was also brought to Moscow, but he was worse than Beckham. This midfield meat grinder who was always taciturn and unlovable in the national team did not even get a second of playing time. Gerrard and Lampard filled the center of the England midfielder, and there was no chance for George Wood to play.

The reason why George Wood has no chance in the England team is generally believed to be that he is not as comprehensive as Lampard and Gerrard. Wood, who knows nothing but defense, is not as competitive as Double Virtue.

Twain dismissed this view, but he is not the head coach of the England team now, and he can do nothing but scold McLaren in the media.

If England really can't even make it out of the qualifiers in the end, Tang En just regrets that Beckham cannot participate in the last international competition of his career, and that George Wood cannot be recognized by more people in the world.

The national team has little to do with him, scolding McLaren in the media can only be a pastime in the final analysis, and the results of the club team are his lifeblood. If the England team can't finally qualify, the English players in his team can easily spend a happy holiday next summer.

The two-game losing streak in the league and the ensuing "devil's schedule" were the real headaches and labor-intensive things for Tang En.
