Chapter 38 The Lost Champion Heart

The hustle and bustle in the transfer market have nothing to do with the Forest team. The media were looking forward to Tang En returning to the Forest team and calling the wind and rain in the transfer market. As a result, he bought Chen Jian and let Silva go for the sake of maintaining the status quo.

The team's score in January was two wins, two draws and one loss. This result was not outstanding, but it was not bad either.

This is the current situation of the Forest team. Tang En's return has stabilized the morale of the army, but the team's performance did not immediately jump to the first group like the Rockets soared. The team is still hovering in the middle and lower reaches, although it has left the relegation zone.

The media generally believe that Tang En's return is effective because the Forest team immediately stayed away from the relegation zone. But this is not the result that Tang En wants. His goal has not been told to the public. It doesn't matter whether the media knows it, because the media can't control him, but he must find a suitable opportunity to tell the players his goal. If the players don't know what he thinks, it will be impossible for the generals and coaches to achieve this goal.

Why choose a suitable opportunity? Because this goal is a bit far away for the current Forest team, and rashly speaking, you may not necessarily receive the results you want. After all, these people are not the former Forest team players, and he doesn't know how much response to Tang En's goal.

What made Tang En happiest in January was that Chen Jian integrated into the team very quickly.

Perhaps because Chen Jian once played football for the Forest, he and the Forest seem to have no inconsistency. Or because his technical characteristics are similar to Wood, they are naturally similar to Nottingham Forest’s tactical style. They can run quickly without any adjustment.

At the same time, Chen Jian could speak fluent English. He lived in Nottingham for three years and would not feel unfamiliar with the environment here. He would not feel uncomfortable due to language barriers or unfamiliar environments.

After staying in the hotel for a week, he moved out from there because his agent Xia Yang found a house for him in the city. After buying it under Chen Jian's name, he moved in directly.

With the house in hand, Xia Yang lives here temporarily to cook for Chen Jian and take care of his daily life. At the same time, he handles Chen Jian's affairs to bring his parents to Nottingham. When Chen Jian's parents come, he will be liberated.

"You will definitely not find the second agent like me in the world, Ajian!" While making dinner for Chen Jian, Xia Yang emphasized his importance to Chen Jian who was sitting in the restaurant playing with his mobile phone. "Help you make money, buy you houses, cars, and furniture, and wash your hands and make soup... Tsk tsk, I am simply your nanny. Your uncle Xia is a big agent who manages hundreds of Chinese players!"

Chen Jian was sending a flirting text message to a girl he met when he returned to China last year. He heard Xia Yang say this. He raised his head and said, "The agent is originally a nanny. Have you never heard of this song, Uncle Xia?"

"What song?"

"Being her driver is her courier and also as her cash machine." Chen Jian snorted.

"Hey!" Xia Yang rolled his eyes. "Is that girl asking you so?"

But just as Chen Jian said, Xia Yang couldn't guess Tang En.

Not to mention Xia Yang and Chen Jian, even the media can't guess Tony Tang En.

This weekend is the match between Nottingham Forest and Arsenal. The match between Old Wenger and Tony Donn is another match. This game has attracted much attention, otherwise Xia Yang would not have asked Chen Jian if he could start at dinner, because the game will be broadcast live in China, which is a great opportunity to consolidate Chen Jian's China's number one star.

Before this game, the media finally saw a long-lost scene - Tang En took the initiative to provoke a war of words.

In an interview, he claimed that although Arsenal is now ranked third, his team is fully confident of defeating Arsenal away.

The current situation is that everyone knows that Nottingham Forest's strength and performance are not good. The Forest team was humiliated 1:4 at home in his own home court in the first half of the season, which is the real difference between the two teams.

"We all know that Don En wants to take revenge, but this revenge is really hard to take..." The media said. "Arsenal is not Middlesbrough, and it is very difficult for the Forest to defeat."

"This scene has been a long time ago, but I also know what tricks Don Eun is playing. He just wanted to anger Arsenal and make the opponent lose his calm judgment, so that he can make profits. But now this is not working, Wenger is scheming and scheming. He will not be fooled like this."

"He must be talking big, but it doesn't necessarily have to defeat his opponents, but it brings confidence to his players."

"Just saying a few words can make you feel confident? This is ridiculous!"

In Villford, two days before the game, Donn is giving their players the last tactical lesson here. Tomorrow this lesson will be held at a hotel in North London.

Don't always talk about tactics in tactics classes.

"Does anyone have been puzzled these days?" Tang En asked looking at the players sitting below.

No one said "yes". But in fact they did have doubts, and they were not small. Since Tang En coached the team, they have never seen the boss provoke his opponent so actively.

In fact, those old players who have followed Tang En for a long time are not surprised.

"I explained in advance that I am definitely not bluffing. Or to add some bullshit confidence to you."

Tang En unconsciously swears again.

"I said I wanted to defeat Arsenal, then what I mean was to defeat Arsenal."

His words caused a big response among the players. Arsenal is now ranked third in the league, and only one point away from the second place, and only three-point gap between Manchester United and the first place. Nottingham Forest is ranked 13th, fifteen points away from Arsenal. The huge gap in ranking is actually the current difference in strength between Forest and Arsenal.

They just lost to Arsenal at home in the first half of the season. If you want to defeat this powerful enemy, these people really don’t have much confidence...

Tang En saw the hesitation and disconfidence in their eyes.

He grinned: "What? Just Arsenal has scared you out of your mind? Look at your promising prospects. Actually, since I took over the team, I have always had an idea, but I'm hesitating whether to tell you, or whether to make it a reality."

His words have already aroused the appetite of many people - what thoughts will make the boss so hesitate?

"When I came back, there was no press conference, so no one asked me what kind of future I would bring to the Forest team." Tang En saw that everyone was interested in his words and knew that the time was ripe. "But I think most people think it was a successful relegation, right?" He spread his hands. "If so. I think we have completed the task ahead of schedule now. So what else do we need to work hard for the next half season?"

After he said this, everyone thought it was the case. If it was just relegation, judging from the team's current performance, it should not be a problem.

"So actually my goal is not to relegation, not to relegation from the beginning. My goal is to return to Europe." Tang En said his real goal calmly, and the players below were not calm.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling of surprise in the room. Everyone did not expect that their landlord coach's ambition was so great!

In fact, it is not a long way to go back to Europe. In the first half of this season, they also participated in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Champions League in the past few seasons. But why do I feel that they have not appeared in Europe for a long time?

After the discussion became a little less, Don Eun continued: "So our lowest goal this season is the European League. Does anyone like to participate in European competitions?"

"No!" Many people answered this time.

"That's good, it seems we have found a common topic." Tang En laughed. "I like challenges and wins. It would be a bit boring if I just ended this season. I want to make sure something-" Tang En paused.

“How many people have such ambitions?”

After asking this, he looked directly at everyone present.

He should try to keep everyone's reactions in his eyes.

Some are excited, some are confused, and some are confused.

"Do you know why I said we can beat Arsenal?" Don said after observing everyone's reaction, he continued.

"If you still have doubts about this, then you will not be able to return to Europe. I want you to regain your long-lost confidence. This confidence is not the arrogant and arrogant face when facing Nords! It is the fearlessness that remains unchanged even when facing a strong enemy!"

Don Eun clenched his fists in front of the players.

"If you can only be arrogant when facing the fish belly and give up on yourself when facing a strong enemy, then this is not confidence, this is inferiority! It is inferiority in the bone marrow!"

"As soon as I said we were going to defeat Arsenal, some people were frightened. How could this work? You will go to Europe in the future and face many stronger opponents. So don't just play?" Don En looked at them and spread his hands. "This is really sad. Four years ago, Nottingham Forest dared to steal Real Madrid's Champions League in front of more than 80,000 home team fans at the Bernabeu Stadium. Do you have such courage now?"

No one answered him because too many of them had never experienced such a scene, but what they had experienced... At this time, their faces were red and their heads were lowered, how could they still speak?

Why is Nottingham Forest unable to recover? Every year is getting worse?
