Chapter 17: The night is getting dark

"It's lively than I thought." This is the first thing Don said after arriving at Warrendan.

Indeed, he thought this was a secluded fishing village with no one, and he could hear it clearly when he crowed and barked chickens.

The small fishing village is pretty good, but it is already a tourist destination.

There are usually many tourists from all over the world here. Those who travel to Amsterdam will also choose to visit this small town, which is a 30-minute drive from the Dutch capital, because it is a famous wedding outdoor spot in Europe.

When Chris Lak heard Donn say this, he thought he was dissatisfied with it, but he didn't expect to follow him and said: "This is not bad, a lively town... Those kids don't have to go to Amsterdam to relieve their boredom at night."

The team members in the car were also curious and were in a large number of strange towns outside the car.

When they walked around outside the town, they saw several floats, all of whom were preparing to take wedding photos.

"What a romantic town." Ribery whistled.

The Forests certainly won't live in the town of Warrendan, and their goal is a professional team here - Warren Dam.

Although Warrendam is still struggling in the Dutch second division, their training facilities are complete and there is no problem with the training camp.

When the team was able to see the sparkling Lake Ethur in the distance in the car, they were approaching the gate of Warrendham Training Base.

The car drove straight through a row of lush forests, and the red steeple bungalows were hidden behind the woods, where they stayed.

"Here." Captain Albertini stood up and greeted his teammates to get off the car.

After the car stopped, Don, Don, and Chris Lack got off the car first, and there were already officials from the Warren Dam Club waiting under the car.

A simple welcome, after a greeting, the Warrendam Club took the team to their residence, and someone helped them carry their luggage. They just needed to bring small bags with them.

The weather in the Netherlands is good today, with sunshine, and Tang En is in a good mood and joked with the opponent: "Don't you know that there are two Chinese players in your club who have played for?"

The other party was stunned and didn't understand what Tang En was talking about.

Tang En didn't expect any answer, he laughed: "Just kidding. The conditions here... are very good." He looked around the training ground.

This is a bit exaggerated, but it is not as good as "very good". After all, the other party is not a Zhiming Club and the financial situation is not good.

The person in charge of talking to them about the rental of the training ground this time was Allen Adams. He seized the favorable factors of the opponent's poor financial situation and won the best interests of the Forest Team - to do things with the least amount of money.

Tang En had to admit that he was not a business person, and he was prone to emotional work. For example, if Warren Dam was replaced by him, he would negotiate with the other party.

He may have felt intimacy from seeing the name in a certain online novel and did not bargain at all.

While Donn was having fun with the opponent, Chris Lack played the role of a "bad guy" at the door of the player's dormitory.

"Hurry up! Half an hour of rest and tidy up the time, then train, and end before supper!" His loud voice rang over the strange training ground.

Of course, there is also a media specifically responsible for reporting the forest team - a reporter from Nottingham Evening Post. Pierce Bruce, a tracking and reporting team: only two people. One is responsible for interviews and the other is responsible for taking photos.

As for the other English media... they all lived in the town, which is different from the Nottingham Evening Post, the "official external publicity media" of Nottingham Forest. These paparazzi are not qualified to travel with the Forest.

As a large number of reporters come to report on the summer training camp in Nottingham Forest, this small club, which had been in European football for more than ten years, is about to become lively.

"I thought they were going to have a break today, or attend some social activities... aren't they tired?" Mark Wise, the photojournalist who was in charge of taking pictures, muttered and set up a camera.

"How tired can it be to fly from England to the Netherlands?" Bruce stood beside him with his arms folded and observed what was happening here.

This is one of the reasons why the Forest team was able to rise in a short period of time. He was watching Tony Tangen's transformation from an unknown man to a famous European coach. It's no longer surprising.

Half an hour later, the team had already changed into training clothes in the locker room and reappeared on the training ground. The bus drove away. Warren Dam's club staff were also leaving together, and the people in Nottingham Forest are still here.

Donn stood in the afternoon sun, put on his sunglasses, the whistle and roar of assistant coach Chris Lack, the coaching staff members performed their duties, and the players ran and smuggled on the sunny court... Everything was no different from their training base in Nottingham.

The training life in the town is very peaceful. Although the town of Warrendan is a lively tourist destination, the excitement cannot affect the training ground located in the eastern suburbs of the town.

The training ground surrounded by lush woods and Lake Ethus is like a paradise... Of course. It is not true. Because there will not be so many journalists in the paradise...

As the runner-up of the Champions League last season and the runner-up of the league, they do have the qualities to attract many media. This is of course a reason, and another reason is their head coach Tony Don.

"This is a person who can become the focus no matter wherever he goes." - The general consensus among the media.

Everyone knows that as long as you follow Tang En, you will never have to worry about news.

But this time, they were disappointed.

Nottingham Forest's training camp in Warrendan is usually like any other team. Apart from daily training, focusing on a certain player's condition and injuries, and two teaching warm-up matches with Warrendam, the "host" team, there is no good news... Of course, this kind of news is not what most media that followers hope to get.

Tang En naturally knew this very well.

"So many media, do you really think they are all trying to observe the status of new players such as Van der Fatch van der sar, Petrov, or report on the preparations for the Forest team at the first time?" Tang En said to his assistant coach Tang, "Damn it, imperialism is so heartless to perish..." He said this sentence in Chinese.

"David!" he shouted loudly, and when the latter turned his eyes to him, he waved outside the training ground: "Tell those reporters. The shooting time is up!"

Chris Lack nodded, raised his face and walked towards the barbed wire wall.

"So much media attention is just a pre-season training camp..." Lennon looked at the media that surrounded the training ground, most of whom were familiar with it, from England...

Gareth Bell next to him nodded in agreement. In his memory, even in Nottingham, he would not have seen so much media. Of course, what he didn't know was that in Wilford.

Tang En is the king, so many media he doesn't like are directly blocked from the door, and it is impossible to get close to the training ground. It's different here, and he can't control many things anymore.

"We are now a strong team and a big star, so we will naturally attract the attention of the media." Ashley Yang shrugged with an expression like "I am a veteran."

He joined the team half a year earlier than Lennon, and since joining the team, he has been the main force of the right forward. He does have the qualification of "old man" in front of Lennon.

Ashley Yang stretched. "Training, competition, returning to the dormitory to play the game console... It's so boring like this-heh..."

"But this is what the boss asked us to do." Bell retorted.

Ashley Yang looked at Bell, who was still childish, and laughed: "Little Monkey, you are still young. There are some things you don't understand... Do you want to go to the heaven of experience?"

Lennon patted Bell on the shoulder and said to Ashley Young: "Don't treat Gareth as a three-year-old, do you want to go to the red light district, right?"

Ashley Yang, who was discovered, scratched his head awkwardly: "Oh, it's a pity that I won't go and see it since I'm here." He looked at the head coach Tang En in the distance.

Then he came over and laughed and said, "Anyway, the boss won't know. He is studying videos with Chinese assistants in the room all night... It's so boring!"

"But this is..." Bell wanted to move Tangen out, but Ashley Yang directly covered his mouth.

“It’s no big deal just to look at it.

We have been in this ghost place for eleven days, and in two days it will be the Amsterdam Invitational. After the game, we will return home... What did we do in the Netherlands? After you go back, your friend asked you: 'Hey, Allen, Gareth.

Is there anything fun when you go to Amsterdam?’ Do you want to say, ‘No, we have been in a primeval forest for more than ten days’?”

"I went out to buy a lot of clogs the night before yesterday...ah!"

Ashley Yang, who was so disappointed this time, knocked Bell on his head.

"That kind of cliché is something that people who come to the Netherlands want to buy, and you can also give it a try? It's sold in England... although it's a copy.

Okay, if you want to go, go see something that is really unique. Is there any other place except Amsterdam, the Netherlands?"

Lennon thought for a while: "It seems that there is really nothing... Leeds has it, but it won't come out so openly..."

"That's it. This is the characteristic! It's a national culture. Do you know the culture?" Ashley Yang Xunshi was very good at seducing two teammates.

"The open culture of the Netherlands... is so enviable! We are not really going to do anything, we just go to visit. Just take a look. The invitational race is about to begin. Do I still dare to mess around?"

"Don't worry..." Seeing Bell frowning and hesitating, he continued, "I won't let the boss know. We promise to come back before eleven o'clock. It's only thirty minutes from here to Amsterdam.

We said we would go to the town to play, no one would care...How is it, how is it? Let's go after dinner!"

Ashley Yang originally wanted to do this kind of thing alone, but Van der Fate's words reminded him that who knows what will happen in that kind of place at night? It's better to bring two more people and let everyone take care of it together.

But no matter how many people know about this, will anyone report it to the boss?

To be honest, Lennon and Bell are both young people who are curious and full of longing for sex. It must be a lie to say that they have no interest in the red light district in Amsterdam. Now there is someone who takes the lead, inspires and is also moved.

Anyway, if they really came back before eleven o'clock, the boss would definitely not know. He wouldn't ask if everyone went to the town to play these nights. Just as Ashley Yang said, they just went to see what was going on, and it wasn't really going on.

There should be no problem...

"Okay, I'll go!" Lennon made up his mind and looked at Bell.

Bell and Lennon were good friends when they were in the youth team. Later, they were transferred to the first team one after another, and their friendship continued from the youth team to the adult team. If Lennon wanted to go, Bell would not not go, although he was still a little afraid of Don Eun.

As Lennon and Ashley Young watched, Bell finally nodded.

Ashley Yang smiled and said, "Listen. This is a little secret between the three of us. No one can tell me. If they ask, they will say we are going to play in the town. Have you heard it clearly?"

"Yeah!" The two of them focused their attention. Even if Ashley and Yang didn't remind them, they knew that of course they couldn't tell them. Just say it...

Although the boss can usually joke with everyone, he will immediately transform into a terrible person when he gets angry.

Chris Lak came out again and blew the whistle in his mouth. "The rest time is over. The boys!"

Ashley Young blinked at Lennon and Bell, turned around and ran back to the training ground.

After the day's training, Don An asked Don and Chris Lak to take a walk by Lake Ethel, and discussed various plans for the new season. Before leaving, he had not forgotten to remind the players who were preparing to go out for dinner and not to play too late.

As soon as the coaches left, Ashley Young asked Lennon and Bell to leave the training base gate and ran towards their "paradise" under the setting sun...

Forty-five minutes later, three young men dressed in casual appearance on the streets of the red light district.

The sky has become dark. The lights by the canal are bright. A sexy body is reflected in the human flesh window under the neon light, shaking the eyes of three young people.

"Handsome guy, come in and have a look!"

Half-naked prostitutes pose at the people passing by the store door and solicit business. There are even many women among the crowds in these "sightseeing" places.

"We were deserted and deserted during the day, but now it is so lively..." Ashley Yang sighed.
