Chapter 1: New Future

"UEFA spokesman William Gaillard said in an interview with the media this morning that the behavior of Nottingham Forest coach Tony Donn after accepting the award was very inappropriate and inappropriate.

The day after the game, Tony Donn explained his actions through the media, believing that after the medal was given to him, it was his personal belongings, and how to deal with it was his private behavior and had nothing to do with UEFA.

Mr. Gaillard expressed regret for this. He believed that the medal represents an honor, and it was not appropriate to transfer the medal so recklessly. He hoped that Coach Don could set the right example for his players…”

"Bad role model!" Amidst the angrily cursing, Don turned off the TV. "I hope they set the right example for the entire European football world!"

Evan Dogette, sitting behind the boss's desk, was a piece of paper in his hand, "This is a UEFA fax, fine for your "inappropriate evaluation of the referee on duty" after the game - 80,000 pounds.

Tony, you may be the head coach who takes the most fines…”

Tang En paced back and forth in the room, looking a little anxious. "But you can't blame me... I told the truth, but no one liked to hear the truth."

"What about the evidence, you have no evidence. Mourinho can also say that his subordinates saw Barcelona officials walking into the referee's lounge... What did you see?" Evan made a criticism calmly.

Tang Enmo kept silent. He really had no evidence. His words seemed to be more like the complaints and reluctance of a loser.

"Tony. I understand your behavior. If I were you, I might do that...it's just possible. But you can't always think about venting yourself. It's hard for Allen to do this." He glanced at Allen sitting on the other side of the chairman's office.

Adams.

Don Eun stopped and looked at the club marketing manager who was silent on the sofa.

He knew that because of that incident, Allen must have an objection to him. After all.

His work involves maintaining and shaping the new image of the Forest Team. His actions and words at the Champions League final ceremony just made him work hard to maintain the image and ruin it... if he put it on himself, he probably wouldn't be happy.

This is not the time to have a quarrel, let alone the fact that they are all their own people. There is no need for him to look at his own people. It is UEFA, not the people from Nottingham Forest who are so angry that he is UEFA.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Alan. I didn't think of those before." He scratched his head and apologized to Alan Adams. "You know.

I have a little impulsive personality... Although I have been trying hard to keep restrained, sometimes I still can't control myself. I want you to apologize."

Allen stood up and shook his head with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, Tony. You did cause me a little trouble, but... my job is to deal with these troubles. If there is no trouble, I may not know what to do. Don't take it to heart.

"He walked over and patted Tang En on the shoulder. "Go to the final next time..."

Tang En took his words: "I won't give the gold medal easily."

Allen was stunned at first, and after understanding the meaning of Tang En over, he burst into laughter.

"You can give it to me." He blinked at Tang En.

"I think beautifully."

"Tony, this fine...is still the same rule, the club will pay it for you. Next time I remember, when I want to say something impulsively, pass through my brain first." Evan Dogette raised the ticket in his hand and pointed to his head.

Tang En raised his hands: "I understand... I have reflected on myself deeply."

"In the hotel room?" Evan asked as he looked at Donn.

"I promise you, Evan." Donn's eyes passed over Evan Doggetty sitting in front of the window and threw himself into the blue sky. "We will have a brand new beginning."

Just the day after UEFA announced the punishment for Don Eun, Nottingham Forest official also held a press conference. It officially announced that they will renew their contract with the team's meritorious coach Tony Don Eun.

As a news figure, Tang En's contract renewal conference was crowded with reporters from all over the country.

This press conference is somewhat of a show-off, because both parties will sign the letters in front of many reporters on the spot, rather than signing the letters and posting the message.

Some media regarded the Forest team's choice to release the renewal news at this time, as a protest against UEFA's punishment of Don En.

This is a bit unfair to Nottingham Forest. After all, Tang En signed a three-year contract with the club and expired at the end of this year. It is normal to consider renewing the contract at this time.

What is UEFA's punishment and Nottingham Forest's support? That's all a coincidence.

When the two protagonists, Evan Dogerty and Tony Donn, appeared at the venue, the reporters calmed down.

"This is a contract that has been prepared for a long time, and Coach Donn is very satisfied in all aspects." Evan Dogette got straight to the point and got straight to the topic.

“We decided to give coach Done a new contract before the Champions League final, regardless of the outcome of the game.

"He said this to answer the media's previous questions about announcing the renewal of the contract with Don En at this time, which has nothing to do with UEFA's punishment, and this has been decided long ago.

"The club is very happy to see Coach Donn accept this contract. After all, from me personally to ordinary stadium workers, everyone thinks that Coach Tony Donn is the most suitable candidate to lead this team. He has brought freshmen to this ancient team.

Reappearing glory, he is the pride of this city…”

Tang En sat aside. He listened quietly to Evan's praise for him, without any embarrassment on his face.

"As I said just now, there will be no one more suitable to lead Nottingham Forest than him. So the club has provided him with an eight-year contract."

This caused a stir at the scene, and no one expected Nottingham Forest to offer such a long contract.

Eight years, after the expiration, it will be 2014! Although coaching is a long-lived profession and has been coaching for a team for more than 20 years in England, today's football world, talent flow accelerates and interests first make loyalty a joke.

A contract lasts eight years. Nottingham Forest Club is really so confident in Don Eun?

Amid the noise, Tang En stood up, everyone calmed down and waited for him to speak.

"I want to thank the club chairman for his trust in me. I love this team and this club. I can't think of where I can go if I leave here. If possible, I hope that in eight years, I can sign with the Chairman for another eight years.

Eight years later, eight years, until I can’t do it anymore. Yes, I hope so much.”

At such a contract renewal conference, Tang En also put away his usual teasing tone and casual expression. He looked very serious, wearing a black suit and a red tie that symbolized the Forest Team. Tang En rarely wears it so formally.

"I feel honored to be able to devote my entire coaching career to this great team."

The reporters here rarely hear Tang En speak like this. He feels uncomfortable when facing the reporter without sarcastic words. Seeing him dressed so formally, he speaks very touchingly, and the reporters always feel a little awkward...

After saying this, Don sat down and spread out the contract text with Evan Dogette under the flash, lowered his head to sign.

"... At that time, I said in the newspaper that this scene will surely be a time to be recalled in the future Forest Team history. People mention today in history. They will definitely say that Nottingham Forest and Tony this day.

Donn renewed his contract for eight years, just like Liverpool signed Bill Shankley, this was a great contract extension. At that time, I was ridiculed as comparing great men and clowns as a sign of lack of common sense..." Later, the famous reporter and biographer Pierce

Bruce wrote in the autobiographical novel "Red Memory". "Time proves that I am right."

After signing the name, the two stood up and held their hands together in front of the media.

"There is a news that makes the head coaches of all Premier League teams very unhappy is that Tony Donn has renewed his contract with Nottingham Forest for eight years, and he will also fight with his team for eight years.

"In sports news in the evening, bbc5 reported on this contract renewal.

"England national team coach Erikson submitted a large roster for England's national team to FIFA this morning. There is one special thing about this list, and there is a person who is both unexpected and not surprising to be selected for the national team. Nottingham Woodland Captain, George

Wood was selected on the roster by Eriksen and will be brought to Germany. George Wood had no experience in being selected for the national team before. Although he performed well in the club, he did not play for the national team for a minute..."

"Nottingham Forest has two players selected for the England national team. They are right-hand assist Ashley Young and defensive midfielder George Wood. Originally Freddy

Eastwood may also be on this list, but the Gypsy rejected the call from the FA and chose to play for Wales because his grandfather was born in Wales…”

There is no reply from Don Endi in the TV news, and now people's focus is on the World Cup.

The Three Lions will embark on the journey again with the hopes of countless Englishmen. The media naturally declared Erikson's team to be the strongest England team in thirty years. Of course, they also said so at the Japan and South Korea World Cup four years ago...

When Wood saw this news at home, he received a congratulatory call from Tony Donn.

"Boy. Congratulations. You are now an official member of the England national team!"

"Thank you." Wood's answer surprised Tang En, because his tone sounded calm. He was not happy nor excited.

"I'm not in a high mood, why? This is something you didn't think about when you decided to play football."

"Should I be happy?" Wood asked back.

"Uh...theory...yes. Those who are selected for the national team for the first time will regard this day as the most important day in their lives, at least in their autobiography, that's what they say..."

"Will I be the main player?"

"You have to ask Erikson this." Done shrugged, "I don't have the final say, he is the head coach of the national team. But... do you want to listen to my advice, George?"

"Um. "

"No matter whether you are the main force or not, this is not a problem you are worried about. You just need to train hard. If you are given a chance to play, don't think about anything. Performance well. Remember, don't think about the question of "I am the main force or not."

Do you remember the first time you played a formal game for the Forest first team?”

"Remember. "

“That’s it.”

Wood was silent for a while.

Don't think that Wood was not in high spirits might have another reason: "Hey, aren't you still thinking about the Champions League final?"

Wood defaulted.

"Ahem... this is the case with football matches. There is no general who wins. There are always times when there is a failure... Do you remember what I said to you in the locker room when you smashed the youth team game and wanted to quit?"

Wood thought for a while and nodded: "I still remember."

"What you lose here can win back there. What you lose in this game can win back in the next game. If you feel unwilling to give up, try to win back in the future."

"I see. "

"A last piece of advice: no matter when, remember that you walked out of Nottingham Forest, don't embarrass me."

After finishing the call with Donn, my mother walked into Wood's bedroom.

"Mr. Tang En called?"

Wood nodded and put his phone back on the desk.
