The English media described the FA as "rape gate" of Don Eun - the name given by the British media to this incident. Don Eun described it as "unimaginative" because it sounded like he had really raped someone - the punishment seemed to tickle Don Eun, which only made Don Eun more comfortable. The FA didn't care about Don Eun cursing West Ham's relegation. Rhodes jumped up and down for a long time and didn't get any comments. He was angry and accused the FA of not doing anything. As a result, the FA responded very quickly, and they immediately fined the poor West Ham's acting head coach 5,000 pounds.

Another victim, Winter, the referee on duty in the FA Cup game, seemed helpless about this, but he did not make any statement and refused to accept interviews from any media. At this point, he was much smarter than Rhodes.

Don En was not severely punished, which became the focus of the discussion in the subsequent episode of "Today's Game". When host Reinkell talked about this issue with Mark Hansen, Hansen sarcastically speculated whether Don En was Palios' brother-in-law. After the show was broadcast, the BBC received a letter of protest from the FA, but they ignored it.

As the person involved in the entire incident, Tang En has been out of the matter. The media likes to hype it is their business. Tang En now focuses on training. The team's daily training affairs are still hosted by Des Walker and Ian Bowyer. Tang En stands on the training ground with sunglasses every day, but he has to continue learning. What makes Tang En happiest is that Baoer seems to have given up on his past grudges with him. Although he still doesn't communicate much, he does not make things difficult for himself in his daily work. On the contrary, he is very cooperative.

It turned out that Don Eun was worried that Bowyer would become the last straw that broke the Forest team. Now it seems that he was over-concerned. When drinking at the Forest Bar in Burns that day, Walker once talked about Bowyer. Don Eun then learned how glorious this 51-year-old man had had. He was the main hero of the Forest team's European Championship twice!

His experience will surely be the greatest help to him. Tang En decided to have a good relationship with this person.

The next game of the Forests is on the afternoon of January 18th. There has been a round of the League One between them. The Forests has postponed the 28th round of the league to play the FA Cup. This also gives them a fourteen-day rest period. On the 18th, they will go to the away game to challenge Coventry. This is a tough battle. First of all, the team's head coach is in a suspended period and will not be able to direct the game on the coach's seat. Secondly,

Coventry is now ranked sixth in the league standings. Since they lost 1:2 to Preston at home, they have maintained seven unbeaten rounds of the league. The team is currently in a strong morale, and it is also home... What makes Tang En even more trouble is the style of this team. This team is a team with a tenacious style and has a hard temperament. It is this temperament that has made them unbeaten for seven consecutive league rounds. This record may have been terminated several times, but they have been saved by themselves.

Don Eun hates such a team because he has this style. This game is completely different from the FA Cup. West Ham will not let go of his figure and fight to the death, but Coventry will, because it will be related to whether they stay in the League One or to advance to the Premier League after the season is over. These days he has not gone to the Forest Bar in Burns, as if he has returned to the Puritan life. Every day after the team is trained, he always has to bring his work home. He must study the team thoroughly before the game and know every player they are. If possible, he even hopes to see all the unbeaten games. Unfortunately, the Forest's intelligence work cannot meet his requirements.

"Sorry, Tony. Our only video of Coventry was when they visited the city stadium in the first half of the season, and we won them 1:0." Looking at the sorry Walker, Donn felt that maybe he should have a scout to observe the opponents in each next game of the team, and put all the information he could learn about the opponents on his desk in time before the game for his reference. Just like he played FM2007.

However, the team currently has only three full-time scouts, two of whom are away for a long time, looking for talented children across the UK, and then trying their best to bring them to the youth training camp in Wilford. The other one is mainly responsible for the player inspection work in Nottingham area. It is impossible to help him complete that job.

Tang En rubbed his temples. It seemed that the team still had many things to change, but unfortunately he didn't have the energy and dare not try it now. A head coach who doesn't know what he will be in the future naturally did not dare to try his plan. Tang En felt that he was a bit like Chelsea's head coach Ranieri now. The difference is that Ranieri repaired the team's tactics, while he did minor repairs to the entire team. He didn't dare to use any ideas, for fear that his front foot would set up his plan and would be kicked out because of his poor record. Then any efforts would be wasted.

Because he became the head coach, now Tang En looks at a team's information and is used to finding the team's head coach first. In a sense, a head coach greatly affects the style, tactics, temperament, and performance of a team... To understand a team, the best way to start by understanding the then head coach. Tang En looked at the current head coach of Coventry... He saw a somewhat familiar name: Gary`Mcallister.

Tang En looked at the English name for a long time, then hesitated to translate it into Chinese: Gary McCaulist.

McCallister?!

Donne almost jumped out of the chair. He remembers that this old guy was still at Liverpool last season? The 2000-01 season was the most brilliant moment in Liverpool in 14 years. Since becoming the triple-champion for the first time since 1984, McCallister scored a penalty in the League Cup final that year, and "assisted" Alaves player Gary scored an own goal in the last minute of overtime, achieving the most brilliant scene in the Liverpool Hollier era. That season they won a total of five championships.

In just two years, why did you come to the League One team Coventry?

The information shows that the Scots returned to Coventry after the end of the 2001-02 season, and his identity is the head coach and player.

Donn knew that as a player, McCallister was very good. His free kicks often helped Liverpool score goals, but he knew nothing about head coach McCallister.

Tang En stared at the name for a long time, and seemed to be able to see what he needed from the name. In fact, it was indeed the case. He laughed a little later.

"A player and head coach?"

※※※

Coventry was once one of the four major cities in the UK, with a history of one thousand years, but that was all the last. And for the Chinese, the so-called "big city" in Britain may be in China as a county-level city. This city was once devastatingly bombed by the Luftwaffe during World War II and almost all turned into ruins. Coventry, which was rebuilt after the war, became the center of the British automobile industry, where cars were specially supplied to the British royal family.

Tang En has almost zero understanding of the city, and he does not intend to focus on flipping the travel manual. For football coaches, understanding the history of a city is far less important and useful than understanding the history of a team in the city.

Although the Forest City, where the Forest is located, is only about thirty miles from Coventry, it can be reached in less than an hour by car. However, as a away game, the Forest still came to the city one day in advance to prepare for the next day's game.

Done sat on the team bus, looked at the gloomy sky outside and the newspapers blown into the air, turned his head and asked Walker who was sitting next to him: "What do you mean by the weather forecast?"

“There will be rain tomorrow and the temperature is very low.”

When Donn thought of Kenny's description of Britain, he couldn't help but swear. He hated playing in the rain, hated all the weather that was not conducive to the game, rain, snow, strong winds, hail and thunder strikes...if any.

At this time, outside the bus window, a cheese-colored building looked like the rising sun, slowly rising from behind the layers of houses on the street.

"Hayfield Road Stadium." Walker introduced to Donn, "Coventry's home court."

After hearing Walker said this, Donn couldn't help but take a look at the building where his team will play tomorrow. Most of the stadiums in the UK are very small, unlike Italy or Spain, and those in Germany look magnificent. Four low stands, barely covering the roof of the stands and a green lawn, are the entire stadium. The Forest's home city stadium can accommodate 30,000 people, and built by the river looks like an affiliated stadium of a middle school, and the same is true for Coventry.

The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, home stadium of Spanish giant Real Madrid, has six floors, which is equivalent to the height of a twenty-story residential building, and the stand is very steep. Donn has never been there, but he can tell from the TV broadcast what kind of momentum it is. When you stand at the top of the stand, you can't see the numbers and movements of the players on the field at all, but you have the illusion that you can fall down at any time. This shocking sense of oppression is rarely experienced in British stadiums. Most British stadiums are on the two or three floors. Manchester United's home stadium Old Trafford Stadium is currently the largest professional football stadium in England, and it only accommodates 60,000 people and has a third-floor stand.

However, this design of the English stadium also has great benefits. It makes fans closer to the stadium and is more conducive to developing a good relationship between fans and players. Therefore, there are two completely opposite feelings to play football in the stadium in England: the home team will think it is heaven, they can clearly hear the songs sung by the fans and support them, and can also rush to the sidelines after scoring the goal to celebrate with the audience; the away team will think it is hell, they will suffer from the booing and singing of the home team fans at all times, clearly hear every word that those people abuse themselves, and clearly see the high-rise middle fingers.

Although Tang En only experienced one game, he was also deeply touched. The FA Cup at the City Stadium made him deeply feel these two feelings. In the first half, he felt that he was away and returned to home in the second half.

I wonder if Coventry fans are friendly...

The game was held at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was difficult to find empty parking spaces at 1 o'clock in the parking lot outside the Highfield Road Stadium. The drizzle was floating in the gloomy sky, but this did not disturb the fans' interest. They waved the sky blue team flag of Coventry with wine, sang songs praising Coventry, gathered from the court from all directions. From the air, it looked like a large group of ants running towards the fragrant chunks of cheese.

The players of the Forest team are obviously accustomed to this. They are doing their own things in the car, listening to music, resting, or watching around. Tang En is still a little unable to adapt, and this is his first away game to lead the team. When he was at the city stadium eleven days ago, he did not think there was anything special about the atmosphere of the stadium. Now he really feels that he has been away: a completely unfamiliar city, a living fan, a strange stadium, a strange opponent...

Discovering that Don Eun's attention was all on the fans outside the car, Walker decided to say something to relieve the nervousness in the acting head coach's heart.

"Don't worry, Tony. Do you know Old Trafford?"

"Of course, it's a big name."

"Old Trafford Stadium has a dedicated security system. They will divide the safety levels of away fans based on historical data. Liverpool and Leeds fans are classified as C, requiring high security measures and a large number of police officers; Coventry is B, and only a small number of police officers are fine. So they are nothing scary." Walker said, pointing to the Coventry fans passing by the team bus outside.

Obviously Donn is more interested in the security system at Old Trafford Stadium: "So where are the fans who are designated A-level?"

“Wimbledon.”

Hearing Walker's answer, a guy's name flashed through Don't mind, and then he laughed: "It's so interesting. The fans with Winnie Jones' are the most civilized... The guys in Old Trafford counted the Wimbledon Open as footballers and entered the computer, right?"

Wimbledon, who defeated Liverpool in 1988, had the title of "crazy gang" in English football. Just look at this name, you can tell the style of this team. Not to mention that they had two crazy leaders at the time: the leader was the evil man Vinnie`Jones, the famous English football world, and the deputy leader was the same rough, tough and direct Dennis Wise.

More than ten minutes before the kickoff in the FA Cup final in 2019, the team's captain Winnie Jones led his men to yell at the big Liverpool players in the player channel. Then, less than a minute after the game began, Jones shoveled Liverpool scorer McMahon onto a stretcher. In the end, Wimbledon defeated the high-altitude Liverpool 1-0 in the game, creating a legend. Jones and his team were also recorded in history.

There are countless things like this before the FA Cup final in the "crazy gang". You should know that in the season when Wimbledon was just promoted to the top league, after Liverpool's game at Plough Lane at Wimbledon's home court, the proud Reds players almost ran back to the lounge in tears. After the game, they told the media: Wimbledon's fans are so terrible, this stadium is simply hell!

Hell is what other balls will think of Wimbledon and the fans.

How could a "hell demon"-like fan be a civilized audience with safety level A? Tang En found it too incredible.

"So... I don't believe in Old Trafford's security system now. I think it's better to experience it yourself instead of trusting the data summarized by the computer." Speaking of this, Tang En suddenly realized that Walker was talking to him and said to him with no words. He smiled and said to Walker, "Des, thank you for your kindness, but I have never been afraid of anyone."
