Chapter 214 Goodbye, Ian (Part 1)

"Arrogant Englishman"

After the game, the Portuguese media gave Tony; Donne such a title. The Englishmen were very happy that they liked the title and accepted it on behalf of Donne.

"...I believe Benfica will still remember Tony, Donne, the 'arrogant Englishman' for a long time."

Back in England, the hype about Bell continued. Donn decided to pay close attention but did not interfere too much. He believed that Bell must be very clear in his heart what should be done if he wanted to succeed and not what should be done.

He knows Bale, who likes to play football with his brain. If he can play football with his brain on the court, he must know how to deal with things that come one after another outside the court...

What's more, he has a good father.

Due to the continuous fierce battles, the Forest team's physical fitness coach reminded Tang En players that their physical fitness is consumed greatly in a short period of time, and injuries are prone to occur in this case.

Of course, Tang En knew this.

So in the 12th round of the Premier League on November 5, Forest sent a second lineup. Among all the starting lineups, except George Wood, goalkeeper Van der Sar and forward Anelka, everyone else was rotated.

Wes; Morgan and Matthew; Epson formed the centre-back partner, with the left back being the young Gareth; Bale and the right back are Chinese player Sun Jihai, with the left forward being Chris; Commons, the right forward is better than Gareth; Bale, one year older than Darren; Lennon, the two centre-backs are captains Albertini and George; Wood, the forwards are Anelka and Bentner.

Among them, Sun Jihai's starting lineup made Chinese media very excited. Tang En released the team's starting lineup in advance the day before the game. Chinese media flocked to him.

Although this is the away game of the Forest team, there are still many yellow-skinned and dark-haired Chinese people coming.

With the re-emergence of the Forest team in the Champions League, it has attracted more and more attention from the East. Since Sun Jihai joined the team, he has not had too many opportunities to play. Because the team has good results, there is no need for Tang En to change the stable starting lineup.

So Sun Jihai could only serve as a substitute for Zimbonda.

This time, Sun Jihai's start-up stimulated Chinese fans' attention to the Forest Team. The Forest Team's popularity in China is rising steadily...

In fact, Tang En was also helpless. When he bought Sun Jihai, he said that Sun Jihai was not a substitute when he came, but who would have thought that the team would play so well at the beginning of the season, and he had no reason to change the team's main lineup.

So he had to play in the domestic cup and some unimportant leagues. Fortunately, Sun Jihai has not had any conflicts with Tang En because of his few games. He still trains hard every day, waiting for the opportunity.

In addition, he has a good relationship with other teammates, and everyone likes this Chinese very much.

The atmosphere of the team is very good. Even Anelka, who is terrifyingly scattered by the outside world, doesn't feel that it's difficult to get along with. This may be one of the reasons why he stays in the Forest Team with peace of mind.

In this game, Forest team challenged Birmingham away, and the opponent was not strong. Tang En sent such a lineup to underestimate the opponent.

However, if he could know the result of another league game in advance, he would definitely regret it and would rather send all the main players to win this game.

Since Chelsea lost to Manchester United and Forests tied Birmingham, the gap between the two sides has now narrowed to only two. Chelsea has accumulated 28 points after the twelve rounds of the league, while Forests has followed one game less with 26 points.

The team ranked third in the league was unexpected by many people, except Tony and Don.

After Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, the third team is called Wigan Athletics.

This team lost to Nottingham Forest in the first game of the league, but then relied on the unique tenacity and unyielding of the grassroots team, they won seven wins, two draws and two losses in the twelve rounds of the league - they played one less game like Forest - with 23 points, surpassing Manchester United with 21 points and Arsenal with 20 points.

Media exclaimed that Wigan Athletics was replicating the "dark horse miracle" of Nottingham Forest last season.

Since nottingham Forest was involved, the media pulled Don out again, wanting him to talk about his views on Wigan Athletics.

Don En didn't give the media any face, he said: "You go and read through the words I said at the press conference after the first round of the league this season, and then post it again.

I said it two and a half months ago, and now I don’t want to repeat it again.”

He is still worried that he did not win Birmingham away.

After the match against Birmingham, the league was suspended to make way for the national team competition.

Today, many players from the Forest team have been summoned to their respective national teams. From a certain perspective, the strength of this team can be seen from the number of national team players in a team. Although the club's head coach is always unhappy to have so many people under him go their separate ways on national team match days.

The first team training base in Wilford suddenly became empty.

Tang En still arrived at the training base early in the morning, but he did not go in.

"The team won't train today, Tony." Old Ian was a little surprised when he saw Don An standing at the door.

Tang En turned his head and looked at the old man and laughed. He suddenly felt that this scene seemed to be the first time he came here.

"I know, Ian. I'm waiting for Evan here."

"Sir, Chairman...whether are you going to attend any event?"

"Well, a commercial promotion." Tang En refers to the agreement between them and their partner company Si. As the image spokesperson of the FM series of games, Tang En must advertise every FM game of Si during the contract period.

Today they are going to participate in the promotional activities of fm06.
