Chapter 61: Tang En's Return (Part 1)

Ukrainian Rebrov has been very depressed this week, frowned and returned to the hotel with a frown. After seeing the new head coach's methods, he no longer has any hope for his future in the team. After this game, he plans to ask his agent to find a place for himself.

Head coach Mr. Tang En talked to many people in the team alone, from Wes Morgan who had just been transferred to the first team to Michael Dawson and Andy Reed who were about to leave the team, but they had no share of their own.

He was wondering if he had been abandoned by the head coach?

Tomorrow is the game against Crystal Palace. The team simply conducted forty minutes of set-piece tactics drills and ended the training. Rebrov frowned again and left Wilford in disappointment.

Looking at his back as he bowed his head and walked towards the parking lot, Don said to Walker beside him: "For tomorrow's game, let the Ukrainian start the striker."

"Of course. You drove Taylor to the reserve team. There are only three people who can use on our front line. Westkar has limited ability and can only start Johnson and the Ukrainians."

Hearing Walker say this, Tang En laughed dryly. He and Walker went to see the game of the reserve team yesterday. Taylor started and scored a goal, and maintained a good condition. However, he did not express his intention to recall Taylor back to the first team, and he still had to continue training with the reserve team. His header is indeed an important scoring method. Now the team's offense is weak and the forwards are short of people. Walker does not understand Tang En's approach very much. Tang En has his own sense of responsibility.

On Saturday night, Nottingham Forest was outside the home court. The team's performance continued to be sluggish some time ago, which also affected the attendance rate of the stadium. In previous games, the average attendance rate of the city stadium was less than 20,000 people, and the stands of the blockbusters were empty. The players did not have the heart to play in this environment.

But today is different. The city court under the night has become a red ocean.

A local Nottingham TV station reporter photographed fans coming from all directions outside the stadium and waiting for entry. They gathered together several long red snakes, crowded with people, constantly waving their arms, singing fan songs, and even some fans shouted to the camera: "Tony! Tony! Tony!"

Even the small vendors selling various fan supplies and souvenirs outside the stadium have become prosperous again.

The reporter held the microphone in front of the camera lens. He held the ear with one hand and tried to make his voice suppress the shouts of the fans behind him: "Did you see it? The city stadium has woken up! I believe... I believe our forest team will also wake up from the sleep!"

bbc TV reporters reported on the other side of the fan's long snake formation for the evening news: "Just changing a head coach has inspired the enthusiasm of the fans! I believe that the Nottingham people must miss the scene they saw today! In the second half of last season, the Forests' home games were almost every game! The failed Collimore has been thrown behind overnight, and the fans welcomed the young coach Tony Donn who led the team into the playoffs last season..."

He had just said this, a fat man suddenly jumped between him and the camera, then put his fat face in front of the camera, first burped. Then he took a deep breath, widened his eyes and shouted: "Long live Tony, Tonight... Hiccup... invite me to drink!"

Before the reporter could react, the fat man jumped out of the picture with his companions' laughter, and the agile cameraman immediately pointed the camera at him and his companions and followed them on their backs.

A group of fans wearing the Forest Team red jerseys walked side by side. They waved their scarves and sang their own songs loudly.

"Oh oh oh! Tony generously! Oh oh oh! He invites us to drink, we love him! He gives us victory, we love him! Forest forest! Tony Donne!"

While wiping the sweat on his forehead, the reporter continued to work, "Uh... it has proved that Coach Tony Donn enjoys a high reputation among the Forest fans..." He glanced at the cameraman's slanted and walked towards the cameraman, and quickly ended the report: "This is a report sent back by BBC reporter Larry Jackson from Nottingham City Stadium! Welcome to watch! Goodbye!"

The doors were closed tightly and could not stop the huge singing from the stands outside. Compared with the excited Forest fans, the people in the locker room were more calm... Of course, this seems to be the case on the surface.

Assistant coach Des Walker is releasing the starting list of the game, and he started from the goalkeeper.

"Darren Wood, John Thompson, David Oye, Michael Dawson, Weis Morgan, Blanya Gunnarson, Jacob Burns, Andy Reed, Gareth Williams, David Johnson, and..." Finally, the last person was called.

Rebrov lowered his head and sat in the chair without any expectation. Then he heard Walker say, "...Sergey Rebrov. It's these eleven people!"

He suddenly raised his head. He actually entered the starting lineup again?! But after thinking about it, he understood that the number one scorer Gareth Taylor was demoted to the reserve team. Now the team lacks people on the front line, so it is natural that he can enter the starting lineup.

After the starter list was announced, everyone's discussion sounded in the locker room. Walker patted the tactical board hard, indicating that the players' head coaches had something to say.

When the locker room calmed down again, Tang En shouted: "Crystal Palace was third to last, we were fourth to last! What does this game mean? I don't want you to feel 'ah. Things are not bad enough yet'. I hope you know 'this is bad enough'! Twenty-two rounds. We only won four games, but lost thirteen games! This result is terrible! We lost six games in a row before this game. I don't care what you think. In short, I lost enough and don't want to lose anymore! Whoever of you doesn't mind continuing to lose, raise your hand!" He waved his arms, but no one obediently raised his hand.

"Very good! It seems that you don't want to lose anymore." Don En nodded, lowered his arm, and glanced at Rebrov, who was lowering his head, "I am a new coach. I don't care whether the coach has promised you anything..."

Rebrov tilted his head, and he was listening carefully.

"I only look at the performance of all of you from today's game. Good performance, starter! Bad performance, substitute! It's that simple. If you want to play the game, just tighten the clockwork behind your butt!" Tang En made a twist gesture, and everyone suddenly felt that their backs tightened...

Evan Dogette was wearing a suit and tie, sitting in a private room more formally than at work, preparing to watch the game. His financial adviser Allen Adams had already flew back to the United States and had handled the acquisition of Forests' shares. He had nothing to do with him for the time being. Evan's business in the United States also needed someone to manage.

In fact, Evan hates watching football in the private rooms because all British stadiums have a rule: Anyone who enters the private rooms to watch football must wear a tie. This is a deadly rule, and even if the US president comes, he must abide by it.

Evan doesn't like to wear a tie, it's related to his childhood experience. He hates everything that ties his neck...

But he is now the club chairman, and he must come to the scene at home. Not to mention that when the team has poor performance and morale is low.

He could only try to tie his tie loosely, which would make him feel better.

The middle-aged man sitting next to him is the chairman of Crystal Palace, the opponent of Forests, the mobile phone dealer Simon Jordan (simon`jordan).

Unlike Evan, his tie was tightly tied around his neck. He was dressed meticulously.

Before, when the two shook hands and greeted each other, Chairman Jordan was a little overwhelmed by Evan's outfit and spoke arrogantly. Although his team ranked lower than the Forest, it did not prevent the man from saying in an interview before the game that his team could definitely beat the Forest and then take the opportunity to go ashore. He also tactfully mocked Evan Dogette, believing that Americans who don't understand football should not get involved in English football.

Faced with these words, Evan's reaction was just a laugh. But who knows the anger in his heart...

Tony! You must win this game! You must definitely not lose to this mobile phone bastard!

When Crystal Palace head coach Steve`kember saw that the Forest forward standing in the middle circle was the incompetent Ukrainian Rebrov, he laughed and said to his assistant coach Terry`bullivant: "Terry, we don't have to worry about defense in this game today."

The league has been going on for almost half a season, and the poor performance of the Forest team told the head coaches of the League One team a fact, that is, the "Premier Scoreman" Sergei Rebrov, who was once highly anticipated, is a complete parallel product!

As long as he comes on the court, the Forests' opponents can safely and boldly press forward to attack, because the 29-year-old striker can no longer find where the goal is on the court.

The progress of the game also proves this. Rebrov, on the front line, faced the close-up guards of England's tall defenders and could not find the feeling of shooting at all.

Don En shook his head on the coaching table: "The Ukrainian has completely lost confidence... He doesn't even dare to shoot the goal."

Walker nodded in agreement.

Many professional players have experienced losing confidence due to poor performances in succession and failing. Sergei Rebrov is currently walking on the road to darkness. If no one comes to pull him, he will continue to sink.
