Chapter 645 Volume 5 Red Likes and Dislikes

Due to Tang En's sudden outburst in the locker room yesterday, the atmosphere on today's training ground was somewhat dull. Chris Rack thought that Tang En would apologize on the spot when the players arrived, but he didn't expect Tang En to just wave his hand to let the team start normal training, and he stood aside without saying a word, putting on his sunglasses so that no one could see His eyes are gone.

This made him a little dissatisfied - why should he go back on what he said was good?

But now he has to lead the team for training, and he knows that he must save face for Tang En in front of everyone, so let's talk about it in private.

Dunn didn't give him this chance. Once practice was over, he called the team together and made a formal apology.

"I have to apologize to you," he said, with surprise on the faces of some of the players.

"I know I got angry yesterday a bit too much... After thinking about it, I think some words are really ugly. I can't treat you like this, because you are all my players. The scolding is bloody." Tang En said, the expressions of surprise on the faces of those people became more and more intense.

Tang stood behind Tang En with a blank expression on his face. This passage was very familiar to him. Tang En recited it to him no less than ten times yesterday, and finally he was able to recite it so smoothly.

"I know that my mouth has caused me a lot of trouble, but it is definitely not my intention to cause trouble for you."

Tang En didn't expect Chris Rack to have such a low profile. He thought it was "I'm sorry for what happened yesterday" at most, but he didn't expect him to say so much.

"So I formally apologize to you here. Let this matter go like this... But, even though I was wrong to swear, losing is definitely not a good thing. In the next round of the league, I don't want to lose again..." The last sentence fully showed that Dunn was still a little unwilling.

In short, because of his voluntary apology, a small disturbance passed like this. The team returned to normal, and there was more laughter during training. Dunn was still joking with the people around him, and he looked the same as before.

Tang En didn't say that he got angry because of too much pressure. Although he was indeed angry because of it, he couldn't tell the players. He doesn't want to take the initiative to admit that he lost his composure due to pressure. In that case, what will the players think of him... Will some people think that their head coach is actually a coward who is strong on the outside but on the inside? Would they be disappointed and lose their trust in him and stop listening to everything he said?

Tang En didn't dare to make this bet with the people's hearts, so he still had to act like "I am not afraid of anything" to appease the hearts of the soldiers.

On March 29th, the last league game before the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Nottingham Forest easily defeated the revenge Portsmouth 2-0 at home.

Perhaps encouraged by Blackburn's victory over Nottingham Forest in the last round, Portsmouth also wanted to take three points from the away game. However, they ignored the factor that the Forest team valued this game.

The Forest team, which values ​​their opponents, will be very strong, so there is no suspense for them to lose. The entire game was under the control of the Forest team, and Portsmouth lost the game without the slightest chance.

After the game, the old Redknapp said helplessly: "...There is nothing to say, the two teams are not at the same level..."

is not that right? With Forest all aiming for the title, Portsmouth's highest aim may simply be qualifying for the UEFA Cup.

The two teams are not a heavyweight rivalry at all...

The victory over Portsmouth stopped the pressure on Tang En from increasing. Now Nottingham Forest is ranked second in the league, only three points away from Manchester United, which is number one in the league. The next thing the Forest team can do is to ensure that they do not make mistakes, and at the same time patiently wait for Manchester United to make mistakes-two times in a row.

It's a little less likely...

Tang En sighed, put aside the troubles of the league for the time being, and prepared for the Champions Cup match.

Opponents Real Madrid, this time it's away first, then host, Tang En's favorite schedule.

※ ※ ※

After playing the league, Nottingham Forest flew directly to Madrid, the capital of Spain, to prepare for the game here.

To Tony Twain, the Bernabéu was no stranger to him. In fact, there are only a few European giants, and they can always be encountered again and again, but he does have a relationship with La Liga giants Real Madrid.

The first time I met Shania and took her to travel in Spain, I came to the Bernabéu Stadium. Later, he led the team to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League and other competitions many times. In addition, last summer, he also got David Beckham for free from Real Madrid.

That's right, this time in Madrid, Beckham surpassed Tony Twain and became the focus of the media's most attention.

During the adaptation training at the Bernabéu Stadium, countless media crowded around the sidelines, waiting to interview Beckham. When Tang En announced that the training was over and it was time for free interviews, a group of people rushed forward and surrounded David Beckham.

In the stands, there were even many fans wearing Real Madrid jerseys holding Beckham's portrait and jerseys to welcome the Englishman.

"I am grateful to the Real Madrid fans who still remember me. The four years at Real Madrid were amazing and I am proud of the fact that I played for this great team." The interview was at the training ground while proceeding. Beckham, who had just finished training, still had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead, and the training clothes on his body were also soaked in sweat. Because of the high intensity of training, he was still panting slightly when speaking, but he still showed Charming smile, without the slightest impatience. The sun shone on his face, and that smile seemed to be so warm that it could melt people's hearts. Suddenly, there was a scream beside him.

Tang En educated Wood from the side: "George, look at David Beckham, he is a star. He speaks well, pleases everyone, and does not offend anyone... Your image gives others a sense of rejection." I don’t think it’s very good to feel like a thousand miles away.”

George retorted: "You've offended everyone you can, aren't you still a star?"

"Uh..." Tang En was at a loss for words for a moment, and couldn't find the words to counterattack. He looked at the smiling Beckham surrounded by the crowd, and asked Wood: "Then do you want to be liked or hated?"

"I don't know." Wood answered quickly.

"You don't know?" Tang En was a little surprised.

"Is it better to be liked or hated?" Wood asked.

Tang En blurted out: "Of course it's good to be liked."

"Then why do you seem to enjoy being disliked?"

Tang En was speechless again. He suddenly found that George Wood was getting sharper and sharper...

"Ah, uh, this... that... Actually..." Tang En groaned for a long time, and finally thought of an excuse, "When I hate certain people, I hope that the people I hate hate me too. When I like someone When I meet someone, I hope that the person I like also likes me... It sounds a bit awkward, but that's what it means anyway."

"Then don't you think it's a little wishful thinking?"

"Hey, George!" Tang En was a little annoyed. Although I know this is wishful thinking, but you can't say it so bluntly...

Wood didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction in Tang En's tone. He looked at Beckham and said to himself: "Wux said he wanted me to keep my true colors, but I don't know what my true colors are. Sometimes I wish everyone Hate me, sometimes I want everyone to like me... Mom said I should try to be liked by everyone, but I find it hard because sometimes to make others like you, you have to be yourself Things I don't like..."

"Hello, George."

"Um?"

"You are more wishful thinking than me."

"Maybe...Anyway, I think being a celebrity has to do a lot of things that I don't like. I'd rather not be a celebrity. In fact, I don't want to be a celebrity either, as long as I can make money."

"If you don't become a star, where will you make money?"

"It's fine now..."

"Aren't you a star now? People will ask for your signature wherever you go, and that old man Vox even signed a few business contracts for you. Do you know where those companies come from? They are all among the best in their respective industries." .When you go to those business events, do you like it?"

Wood didn't answer, just looked at Beckham in a daze.

After a while, he said: "Maybe I will hate it in the future..."

Tang En nodded, this is really honest. When people are not famous, they want to be famous, dreaming of becoming a big star, becoming the focus of everyone's attention, even if they fart, they will be noticed by the media, and they feel very awesome and amazing. But after you are really famous, you will slowly discover that being famous is such a painful thing... You have no privacy at all, and everything is exposed to the public. Even picking your nose at home and being caught on camera will be ridiculed and criticized, and those who mock and criticize you will take it for granted because "you are a public figure".

Tang En experienced such a mentality change. When he just crossed over, he especially wanted to be famous. Now, he began to feel that being famous is not a good thing. Going out to return the mobile phone of a Turkish female fan will be regarded by the media as a "tryst Gossip Girl". Fortunately, Shania knew the whole story, otherwise she didn't know how much to worry about.

He is relatively cautious about his private life, but if someone still criticizes this and uses "because you are a public figure" as an excuse, he thinks he will definitely say "fuck you public figure" to his face.

Wait...why do I feel that if Shania doesn't know the whole story, I will be in trouble...

Beckham finally got rid of those reporters. The smile on his face never disappeared from the beginning to the end. He seemed very patient, very kind and gentle, and won the favor of many people. After the media interviewed Beckham, they turned to interview Tang En. They suddenly felt that they had gone from sunny spring to cold and windy winter.

Tang En said with a straight face: "Don't ask me about the lineup, don't ask me about the tactics of the game, don't ask me how sure I am of winning..."

"Then what else do we have to ask?" Some of the reporters dissatisfied.

"Ah, we can talk about today's weather." A smile appeared on Tang En's face again. "Madrid is so sunny, I like sunshine. Madrid is a very nice city, what do you think..."

George Wood started to pack his things and leave here. Not everyone will be interviewed by reporters. Although he was the captain, he was too low-key. And even if someone came to interview him, he would just deal with it with a few words and dismiss it. He is not David Beckham or Tony Twain.

Beckham walked over and seemed to be leaving.

The two walked out side by side. When they reached the door, Beckham was stopped by a group of fans. They were lying on the railing of the stands, stretching their hands down, scrambling to get Beckham's autograph.

Beckham was not impatient at all, he stopped, took the pens handed by the fans with a smile on his face, and signed where they asked.

Because George Wood was with Beckham, he was also stopped and couldn't leave. He had to stand aside, waiting for Beckham's signature.

If the security guards hadn't come up in time, I'm afraid this kind of signing activity would be endless.

Walking into the aisle and getting rid of those enthusiastic fans, Beckham smiled apologetically at George Wood next to him: "Sorry, I made you wait there too..."

Wood shook his head, saying he didn't mind.

Yes, there was no sign of impatience on his face as he waited there either, for he just wandered off a little.

He thought of a person, that was the first person who asked him for an autograph, the first person who recognized him, even earlier than Tony Twain.

Where would it be now if that hadn't happened?

George Wood had never thought about such a boring question before, because the dead cannot be brought back to life. But when he saw Beckham surrounded by a group of fans asking for his autograph, he naturally thought of it.

— Sign him. George, he is your first fan, you can't treat him so coldly. Squat down and sign!

- Gavin Bernard, the most beloved son of Michael Bernard and Fiona Bernard, the most loyal fan of Nottingham Forest, and the eternal supporter of George Wood, is buried here.

——George, you must become a big star!

In that piece of white, will there be a little red?

"It's nice to sign autographs for fans, I don't feel impatient."

Beckham smiled: "It is said that you are vicious, a traditional English villain. They compare you with Vinnie Jones and Savage. Why don't you try to refute it? We all know that you are not."

Wood shook his head: "I hope the people I hate hate me."

"George..."

"What's up?"

"You and Tony...ah, no, boss, it's alike."

"..." Wood acquiesced...
