Chapter 87: A Sigh(2/2)

After the game started, the live footage cut several times to George Wood's face sitting on the bench. His expressionless face was interpreted by the commentator as "dissatisfied with Tony Don't". The commentator mentioned many times when commenting on the game: "If George Wood had reached an agreement with AC Miran, then Don't give him a minute to play before he left. This may be the last side we can see him in the city court."

"In the past, Tony Don and George Wood were combined with people in football. Their relationship was like Ferguson and Beckham, who were like father and son. Don turned Wood from a porter living in a slum into a big star living in a mansion. George Wood used his practical actions to help Tony Don win the championship honor he had always dreamed of. The two of them were the best partners in England. Now the best partners are about to break up. The inspiration of loyalty and honor cannot match the temptation of money... I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Tony Don..."

Tang En, who was sympathized with, was standing on the sidelines to command the game, and his expression was serious.   The team and Fulham were fighting on the court.   The score was 1:1, but from the scene, I had no idea who would win the game.

After sympathizing with Tang En, the commentator returned to work.

"Without George Wood, Nottingham Forest lacks some hardness in the midfield, and its control is reduced. Thiago and George Wood are not players of the same level, not to mention that he is older and his condition is declining every day. If I were Done, I sold him this summer. Shahin lacks protection and he always concedes the ball. How can he organize the offense?"

"Ibissevic has not fully integrated into the team. As a forward, he lacks some support in the frontcourt. Cohen performed well, but as an assist, he is too honest... Nottingham Forest needs an inspiration and a highlight. Maybe Don should replace the Chilean?"

The two sides 1:1 in the first half.   Don En did not make any statement in the second half and continued to use this lineup.

In the 67th minute, just three minutes before the commentator speculated that Done should make a substitution, Nottingham Forest took the lead. Eastwood suddenly shot coldly outside the penalty area, and Fulham goalkeeper Diego Penny caught him off guard. He never expected that Eastwood could shoot from a long shot on the spot without assisting. It was too late for him to jump and pounce again, so he could only watch the football flew into the goal behind him.

The city court heard the second time cheers. Cheers were cheering for Eastwood's goal.

"Beautiful goal! Eastwood continued his outstanding form last season.                                                       �

"Roney from Gypsy scored twice, and he helped Nottingham Forest lead again!"

Tang En, who had been tense on the court, finally had a reason to vent. He opened his arms and rushed out of the coaching area and hugged the people around him.

The TV camera cuts to Wood again. They want to see what the captain, who is in line with Nottingham Forest, will show.

Wood was standing on the sidelines and applauding with other substitutes.

What a harmonious scene, in the eyes of people with ulterior motives, becomes "the appearance is in harmony and separation"...

After Eastwood helped the team lead again, Donn finally replaced Cohen with Matthias Fernandez and replaced Shahin with Mostoke. The team's formation and tactics did not change much.

As the game was approaching the end of the game, Donn replaced Van Nistruei with a sloppy performance Ibissevic. Van Nistruei, who had been away from the court for a year and a half, received applause and cheer from all the fans as soon as he appeared. In fact, Donn was not dissatisfied with Ibissevic's performance, because he was unsure of what Van Nistruei could perform after he went up. It was purely to give Van Nistruei a debut ceremony at home. The next two league games in Nottingham Forest were away.

Ibisekic was a little dejected when he left the court. He held his energy in the game and wanted to score a goal in his debut to prove his strength and prove that Tony Donn had a right vision. However, it seems that there is indeed a big difference between the Premier League and the Bundesliga.

Tang En shook hands with him and said only: "It's not bad. Ibi."

Ibisevic was a little depressed and said nothing. He just shook hands and went to the bench to sit and breathe.

The boss bet with others that he could score twenty goals in a season. Now he played 80 minutes in the first round of the season and didn't score a single goal. He seemed very relaxed. I really don't know what he thought.

With Van Nystruey, Donn used up the last place he had, which also means that George Wood had absolutely no chance to play in this game.

The commentator kept chattering during the live broadcast: "It seems that the conflict between Donn and Wood has been completely public. He didn't even let Wood get up to warm up during the game. It seems that he didn't plan to give Wood a chance to play from the beginning! I suddenly thought that when Bentner and Donn had a conflict in the 2008-09 season, when Bentner and Donn were going to Manchester City, Donn expelled Bentner from the team's roster and let Bentner go home to watch TV in his home game. It was after that game that Bentner officially joined Manchester City. In this way, can we know the final result of this transfer rumor tomorrow?"

The reporters who watched this game in the newsroom had already begun to think in their minds how sensational titles they would have to prepare for in the next two days to attract readers.

"The Iron Warriors airborne in Milan!" "St. George bless Milan!" "Seven Years Itch! Tony Donn and George Wood officially broke up!" "In the past, they were like father and son, but now they have become enemies, and their warmth is no longer there. The tea is cold before people leave..."

We must admit that as a journalist, your imagination must be rich enough. Otherwise, you will not be able to survive in this industry.

In the first game of the new season, Nottingham Forest relied on Eastwood to score one goal in the first and second half, narrowly defeating Fulham with a score of 2:1, winning a good start.

At the post-match press conference, many reporters gathered together, cramming the small city stadium press hall. They were not concerned about the outcome of the game. Roy Hodgson, the head coach of Forests' opponent, was simply air in their eyes.

During the free questioning stage, reporters raised their hands enthusiastically, all wanting to ask Done that he pressed George Wood firmly on the bench in this game, which means that the relationship between the two has officially broken down and George Wood is about to fly to Milan.

An unexpected scene occurred to everyone, including the press officers on the scene.

Tang En looked at his arms like a forest below and snatched the job of the press officer. He picked up the microphone casually and looked at the man below and smiled and said, "I must announce one thing before you ask a question - I will not accept any other media except for a media outlet in Nottingham Evening Post. If you don't want to lift your hands, it's better to let it go now. Otherwise, even if you are in the press officer's spot, I will just pretend that I didn't hear it. I'm very clear, right? OK, Mr. Bruce. What's your problem?"

Pierce Bruce did not stand up and asked questions, as he was as shocked by Donn's decision as other colleagues.

Tony Donn wants to ban almost all media. Does he know what it means to go against the national media?

After Tang En finished saying that, the reporters below were in a panic. The scene was buzzing in chaos.

Tang En stood up and shrugged: "No one seems to have any problems, so goodbye to everyone." Of course, when he left, he did not forget to be stunned and had no idea what happened. He was implicated in the middle of Tang En and reporter Enqiu, and shook hands and said goodbye.

He turned around casually, just like the reporters who played with him two days ago.

Seeing his back disappearing outside the door, someone among the reporter shook his head: "This Tony Don... is here again!"

"Who did he think he was?!" someone shouted angrily. "Why should we treat us like this!"

"Don't be stupid, young man." The older reporter taught the indignant man a lesson, "He doesn't need us to pay him a salary, so he can treat us like this. As long as the club's senior management still trusts him, he has the confidence to do so. On the contrary, it's our poorest thing, we have to rely on him to make a living..."

When he said this, there was a sigh around him.

Tony Tangen is an absolute news figure. He can always play with the media in his hands, making the media hate him to the core, but he can't live without him at all times. No matter where he goes, he is controversial. But this will not weaken his charm at all.

For journalists who are used to being arrogant in England, it is so sad to meet such a person... They are just "uncrowned kings", Tony Donn is the "king" officially crowned at the city stadium.

The news conference was a mess, but the reporters were not worried about not writing it. In addition to hyping up Don En's rude behavior at the press conference, they naturally advocated the "facts" of the breakup between George Wood and Don En.

If a reader only cares about Nottingham Forest in the media these two days, it is very likely that George Wood and Tony Don already have a grudge against killing their father and taking their wife. It is no exaggeration to describe it as "deep blood hatred".

In the Italian media, the Italian "Milan Sports" can't wait to post a photo of George Wood wearing an AC Milan red and black sword shirt, indicating that George Wood is already in Galliani's possession.

The old fox Galliani expressed caution and optimism in the face of such a clear advantage. He said, "We admit that we are interested in George Wood, but whether he can come or not depends on us, it depends on Tony Donn and Nottingham Forest Club. If he really comes? Of course it will be the best. He is a great player. I believe he can achieve the same success in San Siro... no, it is more successful."

Compared with his "humility and prudence" that is more obvious. Ancelotti's prudence is really cautious: "I don't know, I'm not responsible for his transfer. If the club can sign him, I'm very welcome. His arrival can increase our strength to a higher level... I hope he can come, but I can't say anything before he comes."

Kaka, the player representative, expressed her welcome to George Wood: "The dressing room in Milan is like a big family, everyone has a harmonious atmosphere, and everyone is as happy as their family. I believe George will fall in love here soon. Don't know how to speak Italian? It doesn't matter, I can communicate with him in Portuguese, and I can even be his free translator." Speaking of this, he laughed. "I admire him very much. George is the best midfielder in the world now, and we need such a player. To be honest, I have the same view as Fabregas, and the last opponent I want to meet in the game is George Wood."

However, it is said that George Wood is particularly fond of his number "13". In AC Milan, this number belongs to veteran player defender Nesta.

Of course Nesta would not give up his number, but he also mentioned this in an interview: "I like number 13, but I'm thirty-four years old. I think after I retire, I'll be happy to see it worn on George Wood."

So as long as George Wood endures for two seasons, he will almost certainly get the No. 13 he likes.

There were a lot of beautiful words, and it seemed that AC Milan, from the club's top management to the players' locker room, was ready to welcome George Wood to Milan.

But the fact is that Billy Woods promised Galliani to help convince George Wood.   and asked AC Milan to wait for the news.                                                                                                            

Another day after the game passed, and rumors about whether George Wood would transfer and leave were getting worse. Although Bruce published an article interview with Tony Donald in the newspaper where he worked as the "spokesperson of Nottingham Forest", saying that George Wood would never go anywhere.

However, this article was interpreted by more people as "Tony Don't be stubborn".

He was just struggling to death. At that time, Bentner was going to Manchester City, and he didn't publicly say in the media that Bentner wouldn't go anywhere?

His performance was like a girl who had sex with a man for the first time. She was squeamish when she was having foreplay, and she whispered, "No", "No..." and "No..." in the end. Didn't she surrender and lie under the man's body and pant?

We have seen through him long ago!

So against this background, when George Wood's open letter appeared in the Nottingham Evening Post, the media that had previously hyped this matter collectively lost their voices after an uproar.

"I want to apologize to Nottingham Forest fans and my teammates for what happened during this period. I hope to use the Nottingham Evening News to reiterate my loyalty to this team to all Nottingham Forest fans - I will not go anywhere except Nottingham Forest. I am a player trained by the Forest team, and I belong here. I am the captain, and I will not leave.

Your captain: George Wood.

The whole text is so long.

He did not denounce the media's encouragement, nor did he show his feelings with all his emotions and express his feelings. He did not even mention the other party in the transfer incident. He would not even mention a word about AC Milan. If it were someone else, he would be happy and grateful for the attention of a giant team like AC Milan to him? No. He only talked about his own affairs and only said his own thoughts.

It is quite in line with George Wood's usual style of speaking, doing things and thinking.

The editors of the Nottingham Evening Post are very good at doing things, and beneath George Wood’s open letter is Tony Donn’s column in their newspaper.

In the column, Don Neng laughed at the media before saying, "George Wood has transferred to AC Milan. Just wait for the announcement of the clubs between both sides" and "Tony Don Neng and George Wood have finished their relationship with their master and apprenticeship, and they will be enemies forever after the breakup."

"... George and I have reached an agreement about staying in Nottingham Forest. He never thought of leaving here and just waiting for both of us to announce it....You really want to see George Wood break up? I know what you think, but I'm sorry... you're all being played! Ah hahahaha-"

The slap hit almost all English media in the face, and the crisp sound spread from the English Channel to Italy.

Galliani has to thank him for his habitual caution. Ancelotti dared not show that he "had known this result long ago". Nesta doesn't have to worry about retiring at the age of 36. Maybe he can play longer, and the most embarrassing thing is Kaka.

"...This is football. Before the last moment, you will never know what will happen in the next second. However, I feel a little regretful that I can't play football with him..." He replied with some disappointment in an interview with Italian media.

Perhaps what he should complain about now is not AC Milan Club, but the Brazilian Football Association.

At first, George Wood was just a rookie of the year. There was a competition for him about whether he chose to play for Brazil or Jamaica or England.

Jamaica is the most enthusiastic. Although Sophia's family does not recognize her daughter, the Jamaican Football Association recognizes her son. But after asking for advice from Don Eun, George Wood decisively said "no" to this country with no prospect in the world football world.

In the end, he chose England, not only because he was born in England, and knew England the most deeply, and took it for granted that he should play football for England, but there was another very important reason - the Brazilian Football Association was very cold about this matter.

I don’t know how many Brazilian or Brazilian players play around the world every year. Even players born and raised in Brazil may not be treated as selected for the Brazilian national team. Didn’t Elton clamor for Qatar’s nationality all day long? Has anyone ever taken care of him?

What's so great about a little rookie who played in the English Championship? We can't arrange it here. Who cares about you, a young boy with just a little Brazilian descent? And the skills are so rough that it's useless except for being a little stronger...

We in Brazil don't want such people.

Several years later, at the 2010 World Cup, Dunga led the Brazilian team to stop at the semi-finals and lost to his old rival Argentina. Dunga blamed it for not finding a player who could harden Brazil's waist in the past four years, whether it was Anderson, Lucas, Renato... there was always some gap between the "middleback" in his heart, while Argentina had Mascherano.

However, in the third and four finals against England, he found George Wood, who had once disappeared in the midfield wearing the England No. 13 jersey and was keeping Kaka in the middle of the game. He was very in line with his "Dunga Second" requirement.

Unfortunately, this guy who has Brazilian blood in his body and can speak Portuguese is already a complete Englishman.

After the game, Dunga summed up this World Cup and said with seven points of regret and three points of resentment: "If we had George Wood, we should have six stars on our chest now!"

Some Brazilian media have brought up old accounts and cursed Ricardo Teixeira, the chairman of the Brazilian Football Association, tortured.

But what's the use of saying this now?
