Chapter 175: Left Behind (Part 2)
Crouch lowered his head and smiled, "It's very good, boss."
Tang En nodded: "You have seized this opportunity, and I hope you will be the same in the future. Go back and don't catch a cold."
Wood was the last Forest player to appear in front of Don En. Don En looked at the silent boy and coughed: "You knew about Crouch lifting his jersey to celebrate the goal, right?"
Wood nodded.
"Whose idea?"
"His own."
"Why don't you tell me in advance?"
"Crouch said... he doesn't know if he can score a goal then, but he is afraid... he will prepare in vain if he tells you but there is no golden ball."
Tang En grinned. “Why didn’t you go to celebrate with them at that time?”
Tang En's eyes were really visible to the lenses that the camera did not capture.
Wood hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't squeeze in."
Tang En suddenly raised his head and laughed. He was not pretending, he was really amused by Wood, and tears came out of his eyes. After laughing for a long time, Wood was not annoyed and stood there waiting for him to finish laughing.
At this time, there were no more people on the court, and reporters rushed to the mixed area to interview the players. Done and Wood did not have the idea of attracting many people when they stood on the sidelines.
The laughter finally stopped. Don Eun wiped his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, George. What's the point of asking me to say you? Could you please find a more reliable reason next time?"
Wood curled his lips.
"I know what you think." Don't worry, I won't force you to do what you don't want to do and say what you don't want to say. Just understand it in your heart."
Wood pursed his lips tightly and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, go, go back to the locker room to take a shower and change your clothes. Look at your wet body. It feels uncomfortable to stick. Let's go, let's go."
Done turned Wood's body halfway, letting him face the player's corridor, and then pushed him hard on the back.
Seeing Wood disappear under the flash of the corridor, Tang En shook his head gently, then turned and walked in another direction. There was a small door there that could lead directly to the press conference site.
The 31st round of the league was over, and both Forests and Liverpool won. After Everton lost to Forests, his ranking did not change, but the points gap between them and the two pursuers was only one point.
Three days later, Liverpool finally made up for one of their previous games. Donne watched the game in front of the TV. When he saw Liverpool equalized by Newcastle before the end of the game, he jumped up from the sofa happily.
"I said they will definitely fall behind! They will definitely fall behind! They will fall behind 100%! Only fools will give up the Champions League and compete with us for the league rankings... Go and win the championship, ah. The championship trophy in the distance is being summoned, hurry up and create miracles, Liverpool boys! You belong to the European arena! This season, you will definitely win the Champions League! Next season's Champions League qualification will be carried forward and given to us, thank you - thank you - ah!" He stood in the middle of the house as if no one was around. He pulled his neck and howled in Chinese, and he had no style as a head coach of a professional team, just like a happy child.
Tang looked at the smoky Tang En on the sofa and turned his head and smiled.
Tang En has been under a lot of pressure recently. He is very clear because he lives under the same roof. Although Tang En never told him, he can see that as a coach, he still has this kind of observation.
These pressures cannot be told to others, and Tang never asks about them.
But always holding it in, it’s not a solution. It’s better to be able to vent through this kind of joke.
After howling, Don turned his head and looked at Don with his head down. He clenched his fists hard: "I love Sonness! I love Newcastle! I will definitely not run him at the press conference next time!"
Tang raised his head and tried to hide his eyebrows and smile: "Are you so happy?"
"Of course! The sooner Liverpool withdraws, the less pressure the Forests will be. "Donn said seriously. "I am worried that they will be crushed by their own pressure before they reach the finish line. Now that Liverpool withdraws, I believe that confidence in them is a great stimulation. You can't always tell them how difficult the road ahead is, what a darkness or something. We have to give them some hope from time to time. Now there is a ready-made place." Donn pointed to the TV.
The Liverpool players on the screen were listless and exchanged jerseys with Newcastle players. Gerald was naked with his upper body and had a Newcastle jersey on his shoulders that he didn't know who it was. Maybe it was Hiller's... He looked a little depressed. He stood in a corner of the stadium and watched others stammer.
"Grading this game. Liverpool players all know in their hearts that they have slowly withdrawn from the competition for the top four in the league." The commentator's voice sounded, "Thirty-one games have accumulated forty-eight points, two points from Nottingham Forest, and three points from Everton, fourth in the league... Coach Benitez should put all his thoughts on the semi-finals of the Champions League."
Tang understood, but he still said: "Actually... it's easy for the Forest to keep the top six in the league..."
Tang En shook his head and interrupted him: "I don't want to play the League Cup anymore. I would rather have such a trophy in my honor room, than I want to play any League Cup anymore. People always have to go to a higher place, right?"
"You're right, Tony." Don nodded.
When the TV continued to broadcast the post-match press conference and interviewed Benitez, the Spaniard said in a vague English: "I don't think about the plan for next season, that's after the end of this season. Now I think we should get a trophy in one event."
"Are you talking about the European Champions League?" asked the reporter.
"What else can it be?" Benitez smiled.
The two were attracted by the interview, and Tang pointed to the TV and asked, "If one day... will you?"
