Chapter 37 After the Derby
Chapter 37 After the Derby
The Nords County players must be disappointed because they still did not win the derby. But Don't say anything after the game may make them feel better.
At the post-match press conference, Don praised Nords County coach Don, saying that he had caused great trouble for himself, and that he hadn't felt troubled for a long time...
This evaluation is quite high. In fact, Tang En did it on purpose. He wanted to let the supporters of the Forest team slowly get familiar with and accept the future new head coach from now on. Some people think that Tang is not capable enough and not famous? This is not a problem. He is looking for his own successor, not beauty pageant. Tang's ability is absolutely fine. You must know that Tang En was "teached" by Tang - the beginning of his entry was to read the notes left by Tang day and night at home. Fame? He was also unfamous when he took over the Forest team. Anyway, Evan has given up his unrealistic "dream of a wealthy family". Why did he have to invite a world-class coach to be the successor? Moreover, world-class coaches are not willing to live in the shadow of Tang En, and they are always compared with Tang En. How many arrogant coaches can bear it?
Moreover, Tang himself is also a coach from Nottingham Forest. He is familiar with the Forest Team and has feelings for the Forest Team.
Based on all factors, Tang is the most suitable successor and the person the Forest team can rely on for decades to come.
Just like Moyes, he is not very famous, but he has been working in Everton until now and has become an unforgettable name in the history of Everton. In fact, Donne has not been in the Forest for a long time. He has only worked for twelve years in total. For England managers, this coaching time is probably not even in the top 20.
If Tang En hadn't been able to win so many championships, with his twelve years of coaching, he would have almost never left anything in the world football world.
The managers in England will have different plans depending on the length of coaching time. Short-term plans, medium-term plans, and long-term plans. Don't at most can be classified into the medium-term plans. The Forest team needs long-term plans. No matter what, Nottingham Forest has a shallow foundation now. This foundation does not mean that even if you win five European Champions Leagues, it will not work no matter how many championships you win. The foundation requires time to accumulate. If you can guarantee that every season will last for twenty years in the ranks of championships, even if you have a little foundation, in a hundred years, you will probably become a force that cannot be ignored in the world football world. It can be compared with those wealthy clubs.
But Tang En didn't have time to slowly lay a solid foundation for the Forest Team. It would be just right to leave this kind of thing to the young and healthy Tang. What he did was just creating a brilliant history for the Forest Team, which would become the spiritual force that inspires every Forester in the years to come. It can be said that Tang En created spiritual wealth, while Tang focused on the material level, and spirit and matter complement each other, so that the Forest Team gradually became stronger. Instead of going through a brief glory like the Clauve era, as Clauve grew older. It was like a meteor in the sky, passing through the sky and disappearing.
Tang En would never hope to get old in the future, but he saw the Forest team slip into the abyss in the low-level league.
It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. The quality required by those who fight the country is different from the land. Tang En believes that he is not a talent to guard the country, and he can rely on his impetus to fight the country. To defend the country, it is better to need a steady and calm person to do it. Tang is much more suitable for this than himself.
That's why he went to look for Tang.
This derby battle has allowed many people who lacked intuitive understanding of Don to see Don't have their own eyes. A team like Nottingham can shine again under his command. Wouldn't it be a big deal if it was a higher level Nottingham Forest?
Tang En has not told Evan his idea yet, because he knows that Evan is full of thoughts of staying and working for a few more years. �
As for Tang's personality is not as domineering as himself? Don't joke. If everyone in the world carved it out of the same mold as Tang En, then the end of the world will come...
It is precisely with such "selfishness" that Tang En almost never mentioned his victory at the press conference. In addition to praising the team's performance, he has always praised Tang. This made the Chinese media overjoyed. They can boast about domestic audiences and fans. This time, they will definitely not be scolded as "title party", because Tang En's original words are more numb than their titles!
Tang almost said Tang En was embarrassed. So he tried his best to be modest, and this humility became another reason to praise him in the eyes of those who are interested.
In this way, this derby battle that only happened once every fourteen years ended in a harmonious atmosphere of "Hello, I, Hello, everyone."
After the end of the Derby War, Tang En did not contact Tang. Everyone was adults and knew what to do. Tang continued to coach in his Nords County, but he had already begun to train successors. Tang En was like a ok person and no longer considered the successors.
January is a winter transfer window, and major teams need to make up for the sum. It can be used to make up for the shortcomings of summer transfers or to completely correct the mistakes of summer transfers. But Nottingham Forest has nothing to mean to make up for. Tang En knew that he would only stay in this club for another half a season, and Tang would take over from the beginning of next season. From a long-term perspective and a good point for the team, don’t buy anyone during the winter transfer period, keeping it the same is the best.
Otherwise, the players Tang En likes may not be suitable for Tang's tactical system. Forcibly buying them will not only delay the players, but will also be of no benefit to the team's reconstruction work.
There is only one Chen Jian who was bought by Tang En who thought it would not interfere with Tang’s tactical system.
Not buying into someone does not mean that you will not be able to sell someone.
As soon as Chen Jian came, he had at least four people in the middle of the midfield. The team did not have multiple combat tasks. It was useless to have so many people in the same position. Gago is old. Although Don Eun is happy to return, the Nottingham Derby made him realize the reality - his role in this team is getting smaller and smaller. If the boss really doesn't continue to do it next season, it's useless to stay. The new head coach will probably not entrust him with important responsibilities. Since this is the case, it's better to go back to Argentina to find a team to retire.
So Gago talked to Tangen once, hoping to make sure whether the boss was really only doing this half season.
Done told him that he had only been in half a season. He left the team after the season ended. And he did not persuade Gago to stay. He knew that Gago's departure was a good thing for the team, because Don would have less trouble when cleaning the lineup.
Although it is a bit heartless to say this, it is necessary to analyze the problem from a rational perspective.
Gago also thought of this problem, so he did not express his dissatisfaction. Instead, he took the initiative to propose the idea of transferring to leave the Forest after the end of the season.
Another familiar man is about to leave his vision, but Tang En is not as reluctant as before. Perhaps he has become used to too many breakups and reunions, he has really taken it lightly. Or maybe. Actually, it is because Gago has not had a long time with him?
Gago is leaving, but Tang En does not stay. The other person's situation is that people are leaving, but Tang En wants to stay.
Jack Livermore was originally competing for the centre-level quota with Gago, but most of the time he couldn't compete with the experienced Gago. But he still had the idea that Gago was old after all. He could slowly become the main force. Unexpectedly, on January 1, Tang En actually bought another Chinese to play in the same position as him, and could actually get a chance to play in the Nottingham derby. He performed well.
This immediately made him realize that his position in the team was lower than before.
Livermore is a smart man. He knows that the reason why his status has decreased is that Tang En doesn't like him, otherwise he wouldn't have hoarded four people in the central avant-garde position. The smart man will not hit stones with eggs. For Livermore, he is an egg, and Tang En is a stone.
The way for smart people is to leave by themselves, so that everyone can look good in appearance and have a good reputation.
So Livermore also talked with Don Eun alone, and he wanted to confirm whether his position in Don Eun's heart ranks last among the five central advanceers.
Of course, Tang En would not say directly: "Yes. You are the least in my mind." Unless you are a fool, or deliberately want to make the other party angry.
In Donn's plan, Livermore is not useless. At least it is appropriate for him to play a substitute.
only……
"I can't accept the arrangement of the substitute, boss." Livermore was very direct and confessed. Tang En liked this kind of attitude of talking, and everyone was not careful. There was one thing to say. There were two things to say. How great it was.
"I still hope you can think seriously about it, Jack. We need enough bench depth." So Tang En didn't use lies to make excuses him. He told him very directly that his positioning of him is a substitute.
"I'm sorry, boss. When Fernando and George were together, I was their substitute. Now Fernando is old, but there is a Chinese... I'm twenty-nine years old, boss, I don't want to keep playing as a substitute until the end of my career."
Livermore looked at Donne very seriously.
He also pursues his own interests, and if he speaks it so frankly, Tang En would not feel disgusted. Because this is not a bad thing in itself.
Don't want Livermore to be a substitute very simple. In his plan, Wood and Chen Jian will be the main players in the second half of the season, and maybe they will be the main players next season. But after Gago left, the team will only have three central defenders, which is very unsafe. Although I don't know what tactics Tang will arrange, it is absolutely impossible to have no substitute in this position.
Livermore is the best substitute in Donn. His strength is a bit lacking in the main force and he can't keep up with the requirements. But it's a pity to let it go in vain. So it's better to be a substitute with peace of mind.
Unfortunately, the players are not cold data NPCs in the game. They have their own ideas and no one is willing to be substitutes. Everyone hopes to be assistants and heroes. But one side of the football game can only start eleven people, and someone must be substitutes. Such players are role players. They don’t want star players to be so dazzling, but they may be the most indispensable type in the team.
But Livermore is obviously not such a person.
He simply refused Tang En's resentment.
Faced with Livermore like this, Don Evermore is powerless. But it is easy to find a substitute, and it is really impossible to draw from the youth team. It is not him, Don Evermore, who needs to consider this matter, but Don Evermore. Fortunately, Don Evermore gave Livermore personal favors and readily agreed to his transfer application, but he hoped that Livermore would not transfer and leave during the winter transfer period and play this season. In return for Tang Evermore's readily agreeing to leave, Livermore also agreed to his request.
In this way, Tang En finally left a relatively complete team for the team. In the second half of the season, without having to worry about large-scale injuries and national team draws affecting the integrity of the lineup.
Under such conditions, Tang En wanted to lead the team to successfully relegate. But deep down, he still had a bigger goal - to get the right to participate in the European competition.
Tang En suddenly thought of his first season when he coached the Forests, which was strictly half a season. He took over after the New Year, and the team's performance was not good, just like today. It was just that the team's finances were on the verge of collapse at that time, and he could not even get a penny transfer fee. He could only tap the potential internally and try his best to make use of existing resources. In the end, his team failed before rushing to the finish line of the Super League.
It was from that time that he had a deep pain for failure and hated failure from the bottom of his heart. It was from then on that time that he could do whatever he could do to win.
The current situation is similar to that of the past. Except that he is not because he has little money in the transfer market, but because he doesn't want to spend money.
Therefore, the similar desire to win has never changed. Tang En admitted that his temper is better now than before, but his competitive spirit has never been older. If someone thinks he has become a "good gentleman"... Tang En really hopes that someone will think so, so that he can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger... But will anyone really think so?
