Chapter 86: The Wizard Tang En (Part 1)

"Welcome to Wales! Welcome to Cardiff!" A reporter from Sky TV stood in the crowded square with a microphone. Behind him was the largest professional football stadium in the UK and one of the most modern football stadiums in Europe - the Millennium Stadium.

Middlesbrough fans walked past the camera and shouted with fangs and claws: "The north will win! Middlesbrough will win!"

They had just walked over and a group of fans from Nottingham wearing red jerseys jumped out, stood in front of the camera camera, with red faces, raised the bottle in their hands high, and shouted in unison: "Forest Forest! We are the champions!" After shouting, they burped and laughed toward the entrance of the stadium.

"Welcome to the final of the 2003-04 England League Cup, the Millennium Stadium!"

Because the Millennium Stadium is located in the center of Cardiff, whenever there is a game, traffic control will be implemented in several main roads in the city center. Except for the team buses of both parties, no vehicles are allowed to pass. Therefore, fans have to walk to the stadium.

Gareth Bale and his father were among the crowds that flocked to the stadium. Because the first team reached the League Cup final, youth teams at all levels stopped training today. His father decided to take Bale to see the glorious moments of Forest. After all, he is a player of the Forest team now, and he should cultivate his feelings for the Forest team. Besides, Tony Donn is the one who gave Bale the chance. Now Bale has performed well in the youth team. He can be competent for both the left back and the left forward, and has a beautiful free kick. He has been promoted to the under-17 youth team by crossing the level, and his self-confidence has been greatly improved. This is all the credit for coach Donnn.

Since the competition is held at the doorstep, it is not reasonable to not come to see it or cheer for Tang En.

After more than half a year of training and self-confidence, Bell has become taller and stronger than before. He often smiles on his face when chatting with his father, and he no longer has the same silent and drooping eyebrows as before.

While they were queuing outside the stadium for ticket checking, buses from both sides arrived at the same time.

This caused a commotion among fans on both sides outside the court, and everyone rushed to the bus of the team they supported. He cheered loudly, sang, applauded, and greeted the team.

Because the home jerseys of both teams are red, the bus colors of the teams of both sides also look very similar. The way to distinguish them is to look at the logos of their respective teams, and... The red of the Forest team is darker than the red of Middlesbrough.

In the deeper red bus, everyone did not see Tang En. The camera swept the players' faces one by one, and even the driver was not spared. The team's head coach was still not found.

Where has Tony Donn gone?

In fact, Tang En was in the car, but he hid at the back door of the car to change his clothes, which was invisible from outside.

Unexpectedly, he was able to arrive at the stadium at the same time as Middlesbrough, which made Donne very happy and hit his opponent's confidence. From now on!

After Tang En changed his clothes, the players of the mainland forest team looked at the tall man with a funny look devoutly. Tony Tang En, the head coach of the English professional football team, transformed into a "Feng Shui master" wearing a "Tao robe" and holding a compass! And... Looking at his serious expression on his face, who knows that he is a fake?

Obviously, Tang En deceived himself. On the way to the stadium from the hotel, he remained silent, said nothing, and kept hypnotizing himself. He believed that he was a Feng Shui master from China! In the eyes of the players, this became more mysterious and profound, so the road in the car was particularly quiet.

When the buses of the two teams stopped and opened the door, the camera shots pointed at the doors of the buses of the two teams and switched to each other. The first one to walk down from Middlesbrough was their head coach Steve McLaren, who later became the head coach of the England national team, and Venables was the one who worked as an assistant coach. The media commented on them like this: "The person who is most suitable for an assistant coach was the head coach. The person who is most suitable for an assistant coach was the assistant coach."

This sentence incisively points out McLaren's expertise. As for Don Eun, he knows that he is the most suitable position as the head coach. And he is the first team head coach.

This is a battle between a head coach and an assistant coach.

Next, Middlesbrough players got off the bus one after another, but there was no movement on Nottingham Forest yet, and the crimson bus door was closed. Looking inside through the window, the Forest players stood up, looked in the same direction, but did not move.

Now, although Middlesbrough players are still coming out one after another, the TV camera is firmly nailed to the Forest team's bus. Everyone has a question: Tony Donn is not in the car, so what are these players doing?

What are they doing? Of course they are waiting for someone to get off the bus first.

Don Eun said to the players who looked at him in the car: "Okay, guys. When you get off the car, don't show a look of surprise no matter what you see or hear, everything is as usual. Do you know? This is no different from going to the locker room in the city court."

"I understand." The players replied with a tense face.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Tang En nodded to express satisfaction, and then he said to the driver: "Please open the car door."

Because the Forest team has not come out for a long time, it makes people suspicious, so more and more people are around their buses, and even Middlesbrough has players leaning over to look here. Before the game has begun, all the attention has been snatched by the Forest team inadvertently.

Just when the "highly anticipated" place, the bus door of the Forest team finally slowly opened. Everyone stretched their necks, hoping to see what the Forest team that came out after so much delay was. Unexpectedly, the first person to appear in the audience was in an uproar.

Tang En walked down in a square step in wearing that Hanfu, holding a compass. He immediately attracted the attention of everyone present!

He became the real focus, fans, journalists, TV cameras... were all attracted by him and pointed them firmly at him.

And what about him? The silent crowd in front of him did not have any impact on him. He seemed to see these people and cameras walking along the isolated passage along the pathway to the court, either slowly or calm. If it weren't for his unfamiliar outfit, he would have really had a "master style".

As serious as him, the players following him were obviously frightened by Tang En's appearance. None of them dared to make any jokes at this time, talking loudly, listening to music, calling on mobile phones and sending text messages. They followed the head coach honestly, and the whole team walked towards the corridor leading to the players' locker room under the gaze of countless people.

McLaren was stunned by Donne's appearance, and he stood there for a long time without reacting. Is this still a football game? Does the English Football Association stipulate that coaches can wear such outfits and enter the court?

In the uproar, Gareth Bale laughed. His father looked at him in confusion, and pointed at Tang En who was walking in front of the team and said, "Mr. Tang En is very interesting! I have never seen a head coach like him. I want to follow him in like this, which must be very exciting! So many people are watching them." He pointed to the first-team players of the Forest Team again, then turned to his father and said, "Dad, I really want to be in them now. I think it must be very interesting to play football with him. Have you heard of it? They also took the subway to play games and then met football hooligans!"

The son said excitedly in front of him, as if he was not afraid of those football hooligans. The father-in-law scratched his son with affection, and then said, "If you continue to do your best in the youth team, I think this day will come soon, Gareth."

When the father and son looked up again, Tang En and his team had already entered the corridor. Except for the media, ordinary fans had no idea what would happen inside. But there were still many people gathered there and did not disperse. They were all looking forward to the media bringing something that interests them and then broadcast it in the evening news.

But maybe they are going to be disappointed. The TV station's shooting can only follow the door of the locker room and then shoot inside outside the door. They have no right to go into the locker room to shoot.

After entering the locker room, the Forest locked the door. Then no one knew what would happen or what was happening inside. Why did Tang En wear such clothes? Just to make fun of it? To relieve the pressure on the players? But it seems that his players are more serious and nervous than usual...

What is the one in his hand? Is the compass? But there is no such complex compass... It is engraved with square characters and strange symbols... Could this be the "mysterious gift from the East" mentioned by Pierce Bruce in the article?

He intends to use this thing to break the Nan locker room curse?!

McLaren, who was leading the team to the locker room, suddenly felt his brow jumping. He stopped and turned his head to look outside the corridor where there were a large number of fans and media gathering. Originally, they should have all dispersed at this time, either entering the court or going to the bar to watch the game.

"What's wrong, Steve?" McLaren's assistant, Middlesbrough's assistant coach Harrison, saw him stop and turned around and asked.

"Uh, nothing. Let's go..." McLaren shook his head.
