Chapter 90: What are you running?

George Wood has been escaping. He had good conditions when he was in the club - as long as he didn't want to see Tang En, then Tang En would not be able to see him. But now, he has no way to escape. He is already in the national team. Tang En is his head coach and Tang En is a player of Tang En. How can he escape? Just like today, he can only circle around the training ground one-to-one with the court.

This day has come anyway.

"Run away from your uncle!" Tang En, who was so tired that he was out of breath, lay down and rested for a while, and finally breathed evenly. The first thing he said was to swear.

Wood couldn't understand this sentence, but he knew that whenever Tang En was speaking at this time, he must have spoken Chinese. He took a quick step forward: "What did you say?"

"Ahh, you are finally willing to talk to me. What you scold you... But don't worry, it has nothing to do with your mother, it has something to do with your uncle. Hello, have you ever seen your uncle?" Tang En responded with a breath.

"I don't know who my grandfather is."

"Okay, don't worry about your damn uncle. I'll ask you, what did you run away just now?"

Tang En's hands left his knees, his back was still a little hunched, and he was still tired. He was so confused that he came up with this idea when he was running against George Wood.

Wood's lips squirmed a few times before saying, "I don't know..."

"You don't know you run away!" Tang En was angry when he heard this answer. "I'm so tired... I'll tell you, George. If I have a cardiac arrest, you have to be fully responsible!" Although he was very angry, Tang En was still laughing in his heart. At least Wood had a chat with him unknowingly. Tang En was quite confident in his mouth. As long as Wood was willing to talk to him, no problem would be called a problem.

Wood took two more steps up, and the distance was too far, he couldn't hear what Tang En was saying.

Tang En still felt tired. He had not exercised as vigorously as before for a long time. His heart was beating rapidly in his chest, making him feel tired. He simply lay down and didn't look at Wood. "I am the head coach of England. You are the captain of England. We need to cooperate. Don't do it as good as seeing the enemy who killed his father?"

Unexpectedly, Wood's answer almost made Tang En vomit blood: "Kill the enemy of his father? If someone really can kill him, I'm very happy."

"You..." Tang En knew that he had used the wrong metaphor. "Okay. Don't fight with me, George. I apologize to you, can't I apologize to you?"

"Why do you want to apologize to me?"

Tang En suddenly turned over and sat up, looking up at Wood standing in front. "Do you have to let me say it?" he said gritting his teeth.

Wood didn't answer the conversation, just looked at him quietly.

Tang En was stared at this look for a while and then defeated. He lowered his head and muttered, "I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye, George. I...uh, I don't know how to tell you. But I hope you believe in leaving you. I have no choice."

"I have coached for eleven years in the Forest team. If I can, I want to coach there all the time, and even watch you retire. I heard from me that you can play until you are forty at least. There are still twelve years left. But that's the reality - it's becoming increasingly impossible to coach in a team for more than twenty years. Today's Premier League is different from the past, and the power of the head coach is gradually weakening... I miss the English football world in the last century... Ha, what do I do to tell you about this?" Don Eun laughed, "Anyway, you just need to know I'm sorry." He looked up at Wood.

Wood, who hadn't spoken, suddenly asked a question: "Will you go back to the forest?"

"I won't go back for at least two years." Tang En replied frankly.

"What should we do?" Wood continued.

Tang En smiled bitterly. This question was so childish.

"You are not children anymore, George. You have the freedom to choose which path to go, why should you ask me?"

Wood thought Done's words made sense, but he didn't want to admit it.

"Will you leave the forest, George?" asked Don.

In fact, he has always been very conflicted inside. He hopes that Evan and Allen will learn a lesson, and at the same time, he does not want the team to be really broken.

"I don't." Wood replied.

"Why?"

"I don't want to leave."

This answer is very idealistic. It is meaningless to have to investigate the reason. Don Eun just smiled. "To say a little selfish, George. I don't want the club to affect your condition. I don't want you to be in the Brazil World Cup, I don't want to see you again."

"No... I'm a little uncomfortable with you..." Wood suddenly became embarrassed, and he stuttered with a twisted face.

Tang En looked at Wood in the dusk, and the expression on his face was no longer visible, only the outline was still very clear. The lines were as hard as if they were made of steel.

"How is your mom okay, George?" Tang En suddenly changed his question.

Wood was stunned for a moment before he realized.

"It's okay... it's right." Wood was not sure. Tang En knew that Sophia's physical condition must be getting worse and worse. In fact, this mother's vitality is already very tenacious. Since he saw her eleven years ago, he thought she might leave Wood at any time. Unexpectedly, she persisted for so long.

"When I got home, I said hello to her.                                                                                                                        

"She knows you're very busy."

How could this be a normal conversation between the head coach and the new captain? It was clearly a conversation between two old friends.

"How is the little monkey?"

"very good. "

"Where are other people? I know my sudden departure must have had a bad impact on them..."

"After seeing your open letter, it's all very good."

Tang En smiled proudly. The players he trained were indeed towards him. It was not a failure to leave such a little thing in eleven years.

"How is the new coach?"

"It's okay, it's a little bit like you. But..." Wood suddenly changed his tone, "Now the grades are good, everything is fine. If..."

"I'll talk about the future." Tang En interrupted his guess.

He stood up from the ground and patted his butt. After sitting for a long time, his butt was wet, and he had to regain his pants after he got back.

"I have no idea of ​​your opinion, so I appointed you as the captain. Do you have any ideas?"

Finally, we got to the point. Tang En looked at the sky, and the conversation should be over.

Wood shook his head: "I was a little surprised, I had no other ideas."

"Well..." Tang En pondered for a while, "But you are mentally prepared.   After this result is announced, it will definitely cause a lot of people to discuss.  You will be under a lot of pressure..."

"I know." Wood's answer was very simple, but Tang En heard the determination from it.

Tang En laughed: "Don't give them a chance.  In addition, you are a little more active in the team, don't be a stealthy person all day long.  You could do this before, but it won't work in the future.   There is no invisible captain here.  You have to let everyone understand your existence.  The better you perform, I can let go of my hands and feet to do what I want to do.   "

Wood nodded.

"Okay, hurry up and go to the locker room to take a shower and change your clothes. The evening breeze here is really cool." Tang En walked up and patted Wood on the shoulder. This time Wood did not turn around and escape.

Wood left obediently.

Tang En continued to stand in the training ground under the twilight.

It seemed that the misunderstanding between him and Wood had disappeared, and the largest stone in his heart fell to the ground safely. As long as Wood was still standing on his side, he would have nothing to worry about.

The next day, he took the new captain to meet the media. As for what the talkative media should say, he didn't care.

In fact, the media already knows the change of armbands of the national team captain.

What does the English media do? They listened to all directions and lie in ambush near the national team training base, inquiring about new news anytime and anywhere. This is not small news for the new national team captain, so how can they not know?

Liverpool media asked Gerald to speak up. Chris Basconby, a local columnist at the Liverpool Echo, took the lead in firing.

"...I can't understand what judgment did Mr. Tony Don make such a decision based on? Stephen's influence in the England national team cannot be ignored. As the spiritual leader of the Reds, he should continue to serve as captain in the new national team. But what do we see? The spiritual leader of the Reds did not even become the deputy captain! Is Tony Don't provoking Liverpool?...I don't know why Stephen accepted such an arrangement. If I were him, I would directly withdraw from the national team to protest!"

The media supporting Chelsea are also a little sour because they have Terry changed from a captain to a deputy captain. But these are far from being the anger of Liverpool people.

That night, Liverpool's local TV and radio stations held a big discussion on England's new captain. For them, Liverpool has not won honors for many years, and Gerrard is the only flag they can be proud of. Now this flag flying high above England has been pulled out by Donn. Think about how many painful memories Donnn brought them to the club era... It's like new and old hatreds are counted together.   Irreconcilable!

"Gerard is the spiritual symbol of English football! He deserves his own status in the national team!"

"I don't hate George Wood, but he's a little tender compared to Gerald!"

"Tony Done is nepotism, I am not optimistic about the prospects of this national team!"

"He must have made such a decision because his brain was burned out!"

...

For a moment, the audience called the radio station to express their opinions.

The guests on the TV show also supported Gerald as the captain and opposed Donn's "Foresting of Nottingham" in the England national team.

Liverpool fans even planned to yell slogans in the stands during the first England game. They raised slogans to criticize Donn. They claimed that this was a "war to defend Gerald".

Unlike Stamford Bridge and Liverpool's anger, Nottingham was filled with joy. Nottingham Forest fans called the local radio hotline. Congratulations to George Wood for becoming the captain of the new national team.

Some fans even said nakedly: "I knew Tony would prefer us! Who told him to go out from here?" They didn't seem to worry that Don Eun would be pushed to the forefront of the media, because they have seen such things too often, and if they can't even handle the new captain's candidate. Tony is not Tony.

"George should be the captain. He has been the captain of the Forest for eight years. The achievements of the Forest in these eight years are obvious to all! As the captain of the most successful team in the English football world in recent years, if he is not qualified to be the captain of the national team, that would be a big joke!"

"Don't worry about what the Liverpool people say, Gerald is good, but he is too old. Can he maintain his condition until the European Cup? He will be thirty-six years old in two years!"

"George was only the captain of the age of twenty-eight. I already thought it was too late!"

"In the late Capello era, George Wood was already the team's unstoppable core, and it was natural for him to be the captain."

George Wood's personal website also became a battlefield. Liverpool fans ran up and scolded him and Tony, and fought fiercely on the message forum of Piaotiansi Station, and finally ended with downing the website server.

In just one night, the replacement of the new captain caused a storm in England, and it was tomorrow. No one knows what kind of storm will be formed when most newspapers are published...

Billy Wood called Wood and briefly told him what was going on outside now, asking him to prepare in advance.

When the training began the next day, Tang En found that there were about twice as many reporters gathered outside than yesterday. He turned his eyes and knew what was the reason.

"It's like a shark behind a slave ship. The slightest smell of blood can attract their crazy scrambles." Tang En gave these reporters the most vivid evaluation. "Maybe we don't have to officially announce the replacement of the captain, they all know."

That's true. While everyone was having breakfast, various newspapers in the freshly released news that George Wood became the new captain of England had been published in a prominent position. The Liverpool media have already criticized and questioned Done. The Liverpool media believe that Done is an obvious "nepotism" and a symbol of injustice, and this behavior must be corrected.

There are even people who advised Gerald to withdraw from the national team like Bascombe to protest.
