Chapter 96 Tony's Little Ways

Ibissevic has been fully integrated into the team. His language is fine, but now he scores a goal and his confidence has recovered. During training, he often jokes with his teammates in the locker room, or tells everyone that he has been "displaced" in his life... He has a very good popularity.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Don En bought him - Ibisek is definitely not the kind of player who will destroy the atmosphere in the locker room. On the contrary, he plays a very important role in the team's cohesion. When he was at Hoffenheim, although he had not yet played as the main player, he provided great help to the other two direct competitors, Obasi and Dembaba, to integrate into Germany's life. His selfless character of helping others made him not abandoned by the team even if he played 35 times in Hoffenheim's first season.

Now his advantage has been developed in Nottingham Forest, which has a better atmosphere in the team.

Tang En also hopes that the more pistachios the team has, the better.

Having solved Ibisevic's problem, Donn now has to consider how to solve the problem of Mathias Fernandez...

This is much more troublesome than Ibisevic's problem.

First of all, Fernandez's English proficiency has improved slowly. He is taciturn in the team's locker room and looks more like an invisible person. In fact, he is not the kind of introverted person, but because he doesn't understand or speaks English, he simply chooses to shut up and never participate in the conversations of his teammates. This gives him the impression of being "very unsociable" and "not easy to get along with".

The teammates also alienated him intentionally or unintentionally.

This further led to his lack of support from the team on the court.

Don En felt that if he didn't solve this problem, Fernandez might have to seriously consider whether it was appropriate to transfer to the UK. Maybe he thought about it carefully and found that there was neither Spanish food nor Spanish blue sky, white clouds and sunshine, so he believed that he must have chosen to transfer to the Nottingham Forest on impulse. At that time, his mind was probably how to escape from this rainy country...

This won't work. He bought someone to send him away.

However, because simple conversations are not able to be completed with translation, the effect may not be as good as Ibicevic. The more important reason is that we cannot rely on conversations to solve problems every time. After all, not all problems can be solved by individual conversations.

So I have to think of another way...

After practicing and shooting with Don En's company, George Wood quickly walked to the locker room. He was sweating all over now and just wanted to take a shower, change his clothes, and go home to be with his mother.

When he walked to the door of the locker room, he found that the team's head coach Tony Don was standing there, waving to himself with a smile: "Hi, George! I'm so happy to see you!"

"You can see me every day." When Wood saw Tang En smile so brightly, he reflexively felt that it was not a good thing, so he started to be wary of it.

"Haha!" Tang En touched his nose and laughed dryly. "What...when will you celebrate your birthday?"

"April 1. Don't you know?"

"Uh..." Tang En knew of course. How could he not remember the birthday of his most proud disciple? What's more, this day is so easy to remember - April Fool's Day! But he asked this because he had something else... "Can you ask you to celebrate your birthday again in two days?"

Wood widened his eyes and heard something strange: "My birthday this year is over. My mom gives it to me..."

Tang En nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know. Actually, I just want you to be the convener and call your teammates to have a small dinner party..." He rubbed his hands and smiled even brighter. "You can drink and eat meat. But don't find prostitutes, you can bring your girlfriend's wife... I allow you to play until twelve:30 at the latest. I will agree to you for an hour late for the next day for training. What do you think?"

Wood no longer looked at Don En with a normal look, he had to look at the aliens.

"Don't look at me with such eyes..." Tang En waved his hand and shook his head, "Okay. I'm telling the truth. Don't you think that Matthias's situation has always been wrong?"

"Chile?" Wood thought about it seriously and shook his head. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Fernandez.

"That's because you don't know what he was like before." Tang En explained, "In fact, he is not always so gloomy. He can also become very sociable and cheerful, but we have to create such conditions for him. I think it's a good idea to get everyone together and have fun. You are the captain, and the captain's job is not just to lead his teammates to play, George."

Wood thought it seriously, then frowned and said, "But my birthday is indeed over, and they all know that I can't hide it from anyone."

What he said was the truth. Just a few people knew the truth about the banquet. There was no need to move the captain's birthday to September 19 to make everyone know the problem of Mathias Fernandez known in order to explain to them why the captain's birthday did not pass April 1, but to September 19.

He couldn't let Matthias know what he did. He didn't want to put any pressure on the Chilean. He hoped that Fernandez thought it was a simple banquet. Then through this banquet, he began to take the first step of drinking with his strange teammates, and everyone accepted him very enthusiastically. Then he found that the team was so cute and wonderful, so the bad weather and food in the UK were not important at all! He liked Nottingham Forest, he loved the land of every tree and grass, and he decided to swear allegiance to death...

But it’s no longer possible to use George Wood’s birthday to celebrate his or her birthday. So what excuses should I make?

The two of them stood at the door of the locker room. They pondered and pondered.

"What are you doing?" I didn't see Tang En in Tang's office.                                                                                                                      

"Ah, that's it..." Tang En told Tang everything about it when he saw his partner coming.

Don felt strange: "What's the point of worrying about this? Didn't George just renew his contract with the club?"

At this point, Tang En understood. “Ha. This is a really good idea!” He smiled, “George, let’s call everyone in this name for a lively party!”

Wood had no objection, although he felt that it was a bit too much to celebrate a party just because he renewed his contract... it wasn't low-key enough, but it was much more normal than postponing his 24th birthday on September 22 or celebrating his 25th birthday in advance.

September 22nd is the day Tang En chose, and this day is in the middle of the week. There is no Champions League group stage to play or the league to deal with, and it is a good time to relax and entertain. And God is very proud of his face, and it has been sunny from the morning until the evening.

"The weather forecast says it won't rain tonight." Tang En said to him sitting next to him in the car, feeling relieved.

Tang Ze frowned and said, "Why are we here for their party? What's more, you said during the day that you won't attend this party. It's just to let everyone go and play..."

George Wood announced the decision to hold a party in his back garden the day before, hoping that everyone would come and support him. At first, Eastwood wanted to refuse when he heard that it was Wood's private party, but Bell and Lennon joined forces to persuade him and decided not to give Wood a face. But he wanted to give everyone a face - because almost everyone in the team went as long as they were fine.

At this time, according to the written "script", Wood falsely invited Don, Don and Chris Lack to participate.

Chris Lack was very happy and opened his mouth to agree. But Tang suddenly coughed from the side, interrupting his attempt to speak. Then Tang refused to give Chris Lack time to react, and "rejected" Wood's kindness with the help of thunder and stealing bells. He said that as coaches, appearing in such an occasion will make everyone unhappy, so we won't go! Don't worry and play boldly, have fun, have fun! Tomorrow's training allows you to be an hour late!

When the players heard Tang En say that he could be an hour late for training the next day, they cheered happily. Even if this matter was settled, everyone was very happy. Only Chris Lack smacked his lips, looking a little disappointed - he actually wanted to go, but who cares about his feelings?

In this way, after training, the entire Nottingham Forest team went home to change clothes, and then gathered at the captain George Wood's home.

Donn's white jeep was parked in a dark corner that was not taken care of by street lights, and it was not noticeable. No. 1, No. 2, the No. 2, was sitting in these two dark cars at this moment.

"Idiot, I said we don't go. It's just beautiful and nice scenes. If I don't come, why should I try my best to organize this event for them?" Tang En refuted Tang's ignorance.

"You can definitely hear Wood and other players react to this party tomorrow." Tang disagreed with Tang En's statement.

"As the saying goes, hearing is false. Seeing is true." Tang En shook his finger, then opened the car door, lifted a black backpack from the back seat, waved to Tang.

Tang got out of the car helplessly. What he actually couldn't understand the most was why he had to follow such things?

"I found them a South American band and sang them a song "Eagle Song" (el_condor_pasa) at that time! This is the real soundtrack, not the one that Paul Simon adapted into English! It will definitely be able to successfully mobilize Matthias's emotions and allow him to find the local accent in distant England!" On the way to Wood's house, Tang En excitedly told Tang about his "clever arrangement".

"That's a Peruvian folk song, not Chile's." But Don poured him cold water.

"Peru?" Tang En was a little surprised. He didn't pay attention, but... "What if he doesn't matter! Isn't Peru and Chile next to each other? It's the same! South Americans can sing and dance well. I believe that with fine wine and music, Mathias's emotions will definitely be mobilized. The Chinese people pay attention to drinking wine and doing things. This is the truth, and it's all right! Ha!" Tang En laughed proudly.

Tang was not interested in his theory. He lowered his head and kept silent, just walking.

Since we have said that the coaches will not attend this party that belongs entirely to the players, of course, Tang En and Tang cannot go in openly by ringing the doorbell in front of the door.

To put it bluntly, this time Tang En and Tang came to peep. This can understand why Tang was so disgusted with this matter... He felt that he looked like a voyeur.

Tang En and Tang are no strangers to the environment around Wood's house. They have to come at least once a year.

At first, the mother and son lived in an apartment where the club provided rent. Later, Wood moved another home, which was still not far from Wilford, but the environment was better - a unique courtyard, no one disturbed him. Close to the Trent River, the air was fresh and the house was surrounded by greenery, which was very suitable for Sophia to take care of her body.

There are many big trees around Wood's house, some of which are outside the garden behind his house. The dense branches will reach into the garden, leaving a thick shade in summer to make people cool down. The destination of Tang En's trip is those stout trees.

Tang En walked around the outside of the yard for most of the time, and finally locked the target, but when he looked up, he found a man lying on it in black! This discovery scared him. After he saw who it was, he shouted in a bad mood: "Do you really think you are James Bond, Mr. Bruce?"

Pierce Bruce was so scared that he almost fell from the tree. He turned his head to look down and happened to meet Tang En's eyes.

"Down!" Tang En pointed hard at his feet. "Otherwise I will call the police, Mr. Reporter!"

Being hit by Tony Donne. Bruce had to admit his bad luck. He cried and rushed down the tree, still defending himself: "I just went up and saw nothing..."

"Why are you here?" Tang En didn't listen to his defense.

"I heard that the Forest team had an internal party, but the media didn't know it before. I thought there might be some good news..." Bruce said with a grievance, lowering his head.

Tang En smiled and said, "What a dedicated and good journalist. But who did you hear this news?"

Bruce shook his head with his lips pursed.

"You are really loyal!"

If Don En knew who told Bruce the news. Although he would not fire that person, a criticism would definitely be indispensable. For the sake of himself and the "informer", Bruce's choice of silence is correct.

Donne ignored Bruce anymore, and he didn't care about anyone who gave Bruce news at all. Anyway, everyone knows that Bruce is the team's "monetary reporter", so it's not harmful to reveal some "internal news" that is not painful to him. He began to carry his backpack on his body and started warm-up exercises.

"But Mr. Tang...and Mr. Tang, why are you here?" At this time, Bruce realized that something was wrong - he actually met the team's first two figures outside Wood's house at the same time.

Tang En first spitted in his hands before answering, "Do what you did!" After saying that, he kicked up the tree with his feet...

Then Bruce looked at Tang En's hands and feet in a daze and climbed up the tree very quickly, lying on the branch he had just lying over. After settling down, he waved to Tang below: "This is a good location. Tang. The scenery is very good."

Tang held his chest with his hands, stood there and refused Tang En's warm invitation: "I don't want it."

Tang En shrugged on the tree and stopped persuading him. Instead, he took out a thing from his backpack and placed it in front of his face. Bruce couldn't see clearly under the dense tree trunk in the night, but judging from Tang En's gesture and where the thing was placed, it should be a pair of telescopes...

"They didn't recruit prostitutes, they were all their girlfriends or wives..." Bruce felt that he needed to speak justice for the team's players. Judging from this situation, Tang En obviously planned to follow Ferguson. He came to catch the current situation and was collecting evidence now.

"Shut up! If you want to see it, come up!" Tang En's eyes kept moving away from the telescope.

Under the small star-like lights, a lively party is getting better in the wide garden, surrounded by an open-air swimming pool. The guests are chatting and dining happily. A wooden table is temporarily set up near a corner of the house, with a group of bands dressed in South American style singing to cheer them up.

Tang En searched in the crowd and found his goal.

Matthias Fernandez was very interested in this South American style band and stood in front of the band with a wine glass.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Liu Bang used the embattled people to dismantle the morale of Xiang Yu's army, and he used it to help Fernandez find familiar voices in the distant UK.

However, Fernandez did not appreciate Peruvian folk songs for too long. Don saw George Wood coming over and started chatting with Fernandez.

They communicate with each other? Don En was surprised and then reacted. Spanish and Portuguese seemed to be able to communicate with each other...

Tang En was in the tree, through the telescope, and was interested in how George Wood, a poor man, chatted with Fernandez. Both of them used a lot of body language, and probably half of them were guessing the other half before talking. In this way, they could chat for several minutes, and Tang En had to admire George.

After chatting for a while, Fernandez had turned around and walked towards the crowd with Wood.

Tang En knew that this matter was basically successful.

But he was not in a hurry to come down, he continued to watch.

Fernandez was busy greeting the women surrounded by his teammates. His smile grew more and more, and his glass was less and less. In the end, he had a red face and jumped onto the stage. He snatched the microphone from the band's lead singer and started singing!

When Tang En saw this scene, he burst into laughter in the tree, which caused him to almost fall from above.
