Amount of

    Allen gave Twain a Christmas gift or a great gift package. Twain didn't even think about working with Si Company. I didn't expect Allen to do it.  This not only brought a new sponsor to Club, but also made Twain himself the image spokesperson for the game.

    Of course, the announcement of cooperation with Si needs to wait until Christmas is over, and then there are more things to do.  At the press conference, the production of new covers for game packaging, the shooting of game promotion print ads…etc.

    The England league is not the same as the other leagues in Europe. There is no winter break, although the Eriksson of the England National Team has proposed a winter break in the past few years, but the FA has not adopted it.  Not only is there no winter break, but Christmas is the most intensive moment of the English Premier League tournament. Think of the Forest team playing two games on the 26th and 28th. This arrangement is available every year at this time. .

    The Christmas party inside the Forest team passed, and the calendar has turned over the new year.  Time has come to 2005. In a blink of an eye, Twain has been here for two years. The two years are not too long and not too short. Now Twain and Twain on January 3, 2003 can be completely different.  At that time he was a fake coach and now he has grown into a qualified manager.

    At first, he didn't understand anything. He just played football game games, watched various football-related news reports, and his own fantasy. He was the team manager because he had better luck. With a little talent, he did not go to school halfway, and lived on the streets.

    Now he doesn't think of himself as a counterfeit that he doesn't understand. He believes in his ability and believes he can lead the Forest team to success.

    On January 1st, before the Forest team played against Bolton Wanderers FC, the Forest team introduced the first player in the Winter Transfer period, Goalkeeper Van Der Sar.  Twain attended the press conference with him.  Of course, before going to the media, Toni Twain, a team manager, had an exchange with Van Der Sar in his office.

    Van Der Sar was brought by his agent, and Twain saw the Dutchman from London at the door of the office, exactly the same as his impression, tall, very low-key and steady.

    “Welcome to Sherwood Forest in Nottingham and welcome to join us at The Reds' robber gang.  I am Toni Twain, the boss of this band of robbers, you can call me.  Also call me Boss, Toni…Or whatever else, as you like.  "Twain's self-introduction made Van Der Sar refreshed. He has been to many teams in his career. He has never seen a team's Manager introduce their team and welcome newcomers."

    Dutchman was a little surprised and didn't respond.  Next to Assistant Coach David Chrislake smiled: "This is his style, just get used to it.  ”

    Van Der Sar, I just took Twain’s outstretched hand. “Hello, Boss…”Call a person who is only one year older than himself to be "Boss."  Dutchman is really a bit uncomfortable.

    "I am very happy that you can choose Forest, Edwin (edwin_van_der_sar).  I believe that you are not coming here with the idea of ​​raising a pension? ”After shaking hands with Van Der Sar, Twain opened the door.

    Van Der Sar nodded: "Of course.  If it is for the elderly, I can go to AFC Ajax.  ”

    When he heard Van Der Sar's answer, Twain nodded.  Then pointed out the door: "Yes, I think so."  We all know why your choice is.  There are a lot of media out there now. Have you seen it? The parking lot is full.  ”

    Van Der Sar nodded and said.

    “Many of those people questioned the transfer between us. They said that the Forest team would only spend money on old guys who had no one to ask for.  Or Edwin Van Der Sar is preparing for his life after retirement…Wait a minute, they seem to say something.  We only need to prove to them in the future competitions that they are wrong.  I am an ambitious coach, what about you, Edwin? ”

    Van Der Sar smiled and said, "Me too, Boss.  ”

    "Very good, we will cooperate very tacitly! I will take you to meet teammate in a while, and the press conference will be short.  I will not arrange to meet the fans. At the end of the conference, you can go to the locker room and get to know everyone, then…Do you need to go back to the hotel to rest? ”

    Van Der Sar shook his head. "No, I can train directly.  He thinks this is a small test of Twain's new player. If you want to make a good impression on the new coach, you have to work hard.

    Sure enough, Twain was very happy with Van Der Sar's answer. He clap his hands: "So let's go to the press conference first.  Let the group of journalist urgency wait.  Who knows what they will write in the newspaper when they arrive.  ”

    Van Der Sar found that this Manager is really different from any of the coaches he has been exposed to before, very funny.  And very young, only two years older than himself.

    Then Twain introduced Chrislake to Dutchman and took him to the press conference.

    Although it is the New Year, the media is still quite a lot, because this is the transfer of the most famous player in the England football team so far in the winter transfer period.  The 34-year-old Netherlands has not chosen Manchester United FC, but has gone to Nottingham Forest FC. Nothing can be said in any way.

    Sure enough, as Twain said, most media's decision to change a club when Van Der Sar was 34 was the focus of the question of the journalists.

    Van Der Sar replied to Twain's expectations – saying something nonsense that was superficially good but didn't actually say anything.  I don’t want to give the media what they like to do nothing to tamper with others’ speeches.

    Twain sat with a smile on his face, and now the most troublesome Goalkeeper problem has been solved. He can't think of anything to worry about.

    There is a stable Viduka and Eastwood partner on the Striker line. Although Bendtner and Crouch can only serve as a substitute for both of them, everyone in Twain's eyes has the strength to start.

    Not to mention the strength of the midfield, George Wood is now red, Albertini is always strong, and Ribéry, Ashley Young, Alan Lennon…Perhaps the weaker strength here is Cris Commons and Branca Gunalsen.

    Defender has a veteran Hierro online, although his number of appearances has slowly decreased, but his experience is still the team's most valuable asset.  Pique is gradually growing into the main force of Defender. Twain has complied with his promise when he signed with him, giving him the opportunity to play, and Pique quickly grasped these opportunities and slowly showed his strength.

    Now that Goalkeeper is also a strong supporter, Van Der Sar doesn't look like he is 34 years old, and his status is still very good. In two to three years, Twain no longer has to worry about Goalkeeper.

    Ending this journalist meeting, Twain led Van Der Sar to the locker room, and the players who participated in today's training are coming.  While walking on the road, Twain introduced Van Der Sar to the team and player: "…In general, everyone is very easy to get along with. Have you heard any negative news from the Forest team locker room? ”He looked at Van Der Sar and hesitated, knowing what Dutchman had thought of. "That was just a story compiled by the media.  You will know when you get there, and I promise that you will soon like this team.  ”

    Before they reached the door of the locker room, the two heard the loud laughter coming from inside.

    Twain smiled at Van Der Sar and then opened the door and appeared in front of everyone.

    "Guys, introduce you to a new partner – Edwin Van Der Sar.  Twain waved and gestured to Van Der Sar to come up and greet everyone.

    Hi there.  Van Der Sar said very generously to the new teammate.  Albertini was the first to stand up as Captain and he smiled. He laughed: "I didn't expect us to be a teammate, Edwin.  ”

    Van Der Sar has played for the Serie A Juventus team for a while and has not played against Albertini's acMilan.  Although it has been rumored that Juventus and acMilan are the sacred alliances of Italy's football, there is no alliance between the two sides in the fight for Champion.

    Van Der Sar is also very happy to be able to meet the familiar "old friends" here, even if they didn't count them before.

    It is clear that Albertini is responsible for bringing new people into this group, which is obviously much better than Twain.  So when everyone came up to greet Van Der Sar, he quietly retired.

    The atmosphere was good, except for Ward, who was replaced by a position, politely coming up and Van Der Sar shook hands and then retreated to the corner.

    As for the depressed Darren Ward, Twain also has plans.  During the winter break, see if any Club will be interested in him…

    Twain hasn't waited for the quote for Club, which is interested in Darrenwald, but waits for a lot of price quotes related to George Wood.

    In the twenty-first round of the England Premier League, which ended on January 2nd, Nottingham Forest FC beat Portsmouth FC at 1:0 at home.  Wood's play is still stable. In fact, his play has always been the same, but a goal against the Manchester United FC team changed all of this, which caused him to attract more people's attention.

    This is ironic…A defensive player has done his job seriously and no one has praised it. Instead, there are many spurs.  But when he scored a goal, he immediately got praise from all sides, almost blowing him into the sky.  Defending the player depends on the goal to prove his ability, because most people think that football is only the most exciting goal.
