Chapter 93 Volume 2 The Sky of Nottingham I Will Be Back (Part 1)

When Twain was building his own youth team, Collymore and Evan Doughty were not idle either. Rebrov spent two-thirds of the Forest team's transfer budget this season, but fans are willing to believe that this "expensive" Ukrainian can become the new hero of the city stadium and lead the team back to the Super League.

Then, Collymore made a controversial decision. He sold Forest's top scorer last season and the Silver Boot of League One to West Ham, who were relegated from the Premier League. In fact, what makes everyone most dissatisfied is not that the main shooter is sold, but that Collymore is sold too cheaply. West Ham United offered 500,000, and he hastily sold Halewood. As if I was afraid that if I stayed for a few more days, it would depreciate in value.

Of course, there is also news that after a training session, Harewood bumped into Collymore on the way back to the locker room. The two developed from insulting each other to pushing and shoving... But it happened in a way that the media could not see. The story in the corner, who knows if it is true or not?

Then, the forest team introduced Danny Sonner (Danny` Sonner), a 31-year-old midfielder, from Walshall in a free transfer. This is the third team he has changed in three years. up.

At the end of July, the Forest team freely introduced Icelandic defensive midfielder Brynjar` Gunnarsson (Brynjar` Gunnarsson) from Stoke City. defender.

In the end, the Forest team introduced the Australian player Jacob` Burns (Jacob` Burns) for free from Leeds United, which was in economic crisis, and they defeated Barnsley, another club interested in Burns.

Some people come and others go. After Harewood left the team, last season's main central defender, Dawson's partner Joe-Olaf Hajjerd, after the contract expired, Collymore told him that his new season There was no place for him in the plan, so the Norwegian had no choice but to leave. He was transferred to a distant Asia - the Busan Hyundai team of South Korea's K-League. Another center back, Christian Edwards, whom Tang En admired very much, was loaned out by Collymore to the Oxford team in the third league. When Tang En heard the news, he sighed. Edwards is 26 years old this year, and now he is going to play in that level of league. Don't expect to make any progress.

Ricardo Smeca, the team's main defensive midfielder last season, also chose to leave after the expiration of his contract. Leicester City, which has just been promoted to the Premier League, is looking at him. Also leaving on a free transfer is Jim` Brennan (Jim` Brennan). His next stop is Norwich, who is also a League One team. Benjamin` Gavanon, who Forest team loaned from Marseille last season, has returned to France after his loan contract expired.

The young defender James Biggins, who scored Forest's own goal in the play-offs in the promotion season and caused the team to lose, was sold by Collymore to the Queen's Park Rangers in England's second division for a very cheap £100,000 (Q.P.R.). Poor young man, his career is almost over before it even begins...

Before the start of the English First Division, Collymore and the Forest team had the following gains in the transfer market:

The acquisition of Rebrov from Tottenham Hotspur cost £2 million, which is the most eye-catching transaction in the League One transfer market this summer. Danny Sauna was brought in on a free transfer. In terms of selling players, Marlon Hellwood joined West Ham United for 500,000 pounds, and James Biggins went to Queens Park Rangers in the League Two for 50,000 pounds. Hajjerd, Smeka, and Brinnan left Forest on free transfers.

There is no change in other aspects. The Forest team has received strong support on the basis of basically maintaining the team of last season. On this basis, there is still 1.65 million pounds left in the 3 million transfer budget.

The forest team's first-team roster for this season has also been basically determined.

The two goalkeepers are the 29-year-old Welshman Darren` Ward and the 21-year-old Irish teenager Barry` Roche. Whether Ward's main position is under Twain Or Collymore's men will not have any problems.

The defense is led by 20-year-old captain Michael` Dawson, 27-year-old Belgian left-back Davy` Oyen, 22-year-old central defender Chris Dawy Chris` Doig, 21-year-old right-back John` Thompson, 27-year-old French right-back Mathieu` Louis-Jean, 19-year-old Scottish left-back Guard George Robertson (Gregor` Robertson).

The midfield includes newly joined Brynjar` Gunnarsson, 20-year-old German teenager Eugen` Bopp, Danny` Sonner, 21 Gareth` Williams, 20, Brian` Cash, 20, Andy` Reid, 20, 32 Eoin` Jess.

Front: David` Johnson, 26, Craig` Westcarr, 18, and Sergey Rybrov, 29 (Serhiy`Rebrov).

In an interview, Evan Dalgety claimed that he was very satisfied with Collymore's job as coach, because he didn't squander three million pounds, and fully considered the club that had just come out of the financial crisis.

The media also took photos of Collymore demonstrating in person on the training ground. He was smiling and he was in a good mood. Maybe he is really ready to start a new life...

Of course, to evaluate how well a head coach is doing, there is usually only one indicator-how well he leads the team. If you buy someone to save your budget, you can be an accountant, and you can continue to be his player if you can demonstrate your actions in person. Collymore looks good now, but that doesn't mean it will be good in the future.

Bruce stared blankly at the photo of the new head coach of the Forest team for a while, then threw it aside, created a new folder on the laptop, and set it as hidden. Then he named this hidden folder - Collymore's get out of class countdown.

On August 9th, the 2003-04 season of the English Premier League officially kicked off. A day later, Collymore's Forest team ushered in their first opponent of the season at home, "Black Cat" Sunderland.

For Collymore, this is his first big test, and some of the previous warm-up matches were small fights.

The result of the game pleased Collymore and all Forest supporters.

In just 19 minutes of the game, Rebrov, the "king of the mark" of the Forest team's summer transfer, scored his first goal to join the Forest team, and the city stadium was thrown into jubilation.

Tang En, who was sitting in the auditorium, saw the Ukrainian hugging his teammates, and he knew that the future had been irreversibly changed, and this change was expanding little by little around Nottingham where he lived. As if throwing a stone into a calm lake, the ripples created would push the fallen leaves on the lake and scare away the fish under the water. After the ripples dissipated, the surface of the lake and the water were no longer what they used to be.

In his memory, Rebrov did come to play in England's second tier league, but it was West Ham United a year later, and after only one season, he would play for Dynamo Kyiv, Ukraine.

Tang En knew that this change must be due to his coming here, because it was all related to him. He was powerless to change this situation, he could only hope that it wouldn't change too much...or that his memories would still be available when he needed them.

Forty-one minutes, right back Frenchman Matthew Louis-Jean, who was thrown into the reserve team by Twain last season but reused by Collymore this season, scored his first goal for the Forest team.

Seeing this scene, Tang En shook his head. People who are not optimistic about themselves score goals under the hands of others, will the media think that Collymore is right to replace them?

Neither side scored a goal in the second half of the game, and the score of 2:0 was maintained until the end. Both Collymore and his Forest team got off to a good start.

The audience around Tang En talked enthusiastically about what kind of future the new coach could bring them at the end of the show, but Tang En was not interested in such topics. He squeezed his head out of the crowd and left the City Stadium without even thinking of looking back.

Three days later, Collymore's side beat home team Port` Vale away in the first round of the English League Cup. Although successfully advanced, the game was played very hard. Collymore did not expect that Nottingham Forest, located in the First Division, would allow a Second Division team to draw 0:0 within 120 minutes, and finally won with a penalty kick. No wonder the local media were unconvinced after the game and said that Nottingham Forest's promotion was just their luck.

Stan Collymore was given credit for his second win in a row, although the second race win wasn't quite as convincing. He has become a news figure in Nottingham. Fans and the media are looking forward to what kind of results he can do here. From the beginning, it should not be too bad.

The media changed the names of the eulogizing words used to praise Tang En and published them in the newspapers. But if someone thinks that Dunn hates being compared with Collymore, and hates seeing all the news reports about Collymore, then it is a big mistake.

Tang En not only made up his mind early on, he would go to every home game of the Forest team in the future, but also paid special attention to all news about the Forest team and Collymore, even if it was news about the top management of the board of directors, he would not let it go . He is preparing himself to return to that seat one day.

Just like what he said to Professor Constantine after being elected the best coach in February. I, Twain, belonged there by nature. I was born to be the head coach. I was born to pursue victory. The current dormancy is just for the future explosion...Evan is right about one thing, I am indeed not stable enough, I am not mature enough, otherwise I would not lose to that old guy Warnock in Sheffield .

But... just wait, when I reappear in front of you, I guarantee you will see a different Tony Twain.
