Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 24—Past and Present Twain

    “Do you want to change to a bigger stage?”

    A similar problem was previously asked by Tang Jing.  But the question is more straightforward, ask him if he wants to work in a small team like Noz County for a lifetime.

    Tang also considered that if Noz County can get a lot of money to support and have the ambition to stand in the English Premier League, then there is nothing left here. After all, he has coached this team for seven years. With feelings.

    But if Noz County has always been like this, satisfied with stability in the Champions League…Is it necessary for me to continue to follow the Noz County?

    Is he an ambitious person?

    Someone will say "No, coach Tang is a person who is comfortable with the status quo", but he knows himself, deep down, how deep his love for football is, how much he is eager to challenge.  After all, he and the Tony Twain sitting opposite are all the way.

    "Do you want me to do the Assistant Coach for you, Toni?"Tang asked with a smile.

    "No!  Look at your scores in the seven seasons in Noz County, and let you go to me as an Assistant Coach. It’s too much.  Killing chicken with a knife? ”Twain shook his head.

    "then you……"Tang confused.  To be honest, from the phone that received Twain last night, Tang thought that Twain must have advised himself to be his Assistant Coach. He thought for one night and thought that he could no longer be an Assistant Coach, even to Toni. Do, if Twain really wants to invite himself back to be an Assistant Coach, he must refuse it anyway.

    I didn't expect Twain's purpose to be this.

    Twain looked around and the nearest waiter was ten meters away. Apparently for this blatant criticism of their informal cuisine, there was no good feeling for the waiters and they were too lazy to serve.  What Twain wanted was this effect, and he continued to explore the body forward.  Depressed the voice and said to Tang: "I have not told anyone about you except for you. You know, I actually coach this half of the season.  ”

    Tang nodded, he knew the land, not only him, but everyone else knew it, reported in the news media.

    "So what do I do if I leave the Forest team? Continue to be like this now? I can't always come out as a firefighting coach when the team is in distress. ”

    Tang has already guessed what he will say, but he still thinks there is another solution: "You can continue to coach.  Toni.  ”

    Twain shook his head: "I don't say anything polite in front of you.  My body, I know for myself, I am very busy these days, I went to Spain to find Chen Jian, and ran to find you, and I will study the reports that David gave me.Do you know what I found? ”

    Tang did not know why he looked at each other.

    "I actually went to sleep halfway through the report! I feel that my energy is not as good as it used to be. This may be related to a four-month break between me…I have always been screaming for a long time.  To be right with the whole world.  But since I got the World Cup Champion, when the idea of ​​retirement is flashing in my mind, the strength is vented.  It is impossible to gather again now.  ”

    Twain licked his fist and then spread it out.

    "Half season is the time limit I have seriously considered.  I will try to keep the Forest team in the Premier League and then I will really retire.  This time is a complete retirement that will never come back again…"

    When I heard him say this, Tang smiled a little: "I always think that is impossible, Toni.  ”

    "Yes, it may not be possible before coming to you."  But it is different now.  Twain nodded, not even refuting Tang’s words.  "In the next season and beyond, I hope that you will succeed me as the Manager of Nottingham Forest FC.  ”

    Tang did not show how surprised he was, because he had already guessed this result just now.

    "Freddy and David are not the materials of the Manager.  And after seven years of tempering, you are fully qualified for the role of Manager.  ”

    Tang frowned and thought about it. He said his own thoughts: "We are different, Toni.  I am not a master like you, I am not a madman.  There is no way to share the attention of the media for the player…"

    "But you still took a group of young people to the British League.  ”

    "Knoz County and Nottingham Forest FC are two completely different teams, different types, and the Managers are different.  ”

    "I don't think you can make the team shine when you take over.  There should be a period of adaptation for a few years. At that time, the player who is familiar with my set should also retire. You have slowly built your team in the past few years, and slowly let the team adapt to your coaching style and thinking, slow. Slowly turn Nottingham Forest FC into a team that belongs to you personally.  Just like you did in Noz County.  Twain looked at the opposite Don.

    Tang did not respond to Twain's words, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

    Until the waiter brought the dish to the table.  Two talents have left this topic aside.  While eating vegetables, they talked about their lives.

    But most of the time Twain is saying.  And Tang is listening.  Originally, Tang was not a talker. In his days with Twain, he was always a listener of this person and very qualified.

    Teressa is very obedient, Teressa's English progress is very fast, Teressa must be very beautiful, and troubles Teressa is now very interested in the film performance, in case she wants to enter the entertainment circle, do this myself What should Dad do?

    More than two-thirds of the topics are on the Twain daughter Teressa.

    Tang listened to the corner of his mouth and curled up.  This man is a typical image of a happy father.

    He suddenly reacted, and he himself understood why Twain would say that he is not willing to do Manager for a long time.  He has a beautiful wife who loves him, and a beautiful and lovely obedient and intelligent daughter. His life is so beautiful and makes him feel happy, but he has gradually worn away his original ambition.

    Think of Tony Twain, fifteen years ago, and his own video of a research football game all night long, studying Tactics and researching opponents.  I don't know what fatigue is at all.  Full of brains is against the world, want to get all the Champion you can get, when you give an impassioned speech in the locker room, you must first boil the blood of his own touch, otherwise how can the players be infected by him? In the past, he thought that football is a war, not if you die or if I die.  In order to survive, he is more motivated than anyone else, in order to defeat those opponents who look down on him, in order to fan the slap in the face of those ignorant.  He rolled up his sleeve and succeeded in playing a demon and a bastard.

    What time do you prefer Tony Twain?

    Tony Twain overlapped in front of his eyes two times before and after, and it became a bit fuzzy.

    Each has its own benefits.

    At that time Toni was happy because he was fighting for the ideals of his heart.  Now Toni is also happy because he has a new life.

    After dinner, Tang wants to go home, take a break, and then prepare for the second training session today at 5:00 pm.  And Twain has to go home to prepare for his official takeover of the Forest team.

    "My invitation, you can seriously consider it.  DonTwain said at the door and when he said goodbye to Tang.

    I didn't expect Tang to shake his head.  "I accept your invitation, Toni.  ”

    Twain was amazed at how quickly he made his decision. He felt that Don was not a decisive person. It was always a long time to make a decision if one thing was not done.  Has this character changed his character in the past seven years?

    "You think about it so soon? Don't go back and discuss with Tang Jing? ”

    "The football thing, I have the final say.  "Tang said this is a bit masculine."

    Twain looked at him and smiled.  The eyes are smashed into a seam.

    "How to say Nottingham Forest FC is also where I first started, I also want to…Prove yourself there again.  He is also embarrassed by the experience of a short-term coaching experience at Nottingham Forest FC…

    When he heard him say this, Twain was sure that Tang had taken over his invitation.

    He grew a sigh of relief and the last thing was done.  He can safely go to Nottingham Forest FC to coach.

    "Good luck, Toni.  The current Nottingham Forest FC is not your previous Nottingham Forest FC.  "When I left, Tang did not forget the good wishes Twain.

    Twain was driving the door, heard Tang's words, turned and looked at him and said very seriously: "They will soon find Tony Twain or the former Tony Twain.  ”

    In an instant, only this moment, Tang suddenly saw the look of Tony Twain from the old man in front of him.

    "Tony Twain wants to come back? AOn his own show, Karl Speck's face was disdainful.  So ask in reverse.  "I think he is still honestly staying in the United States of America."  Today's Nottingham Forest FC is no longer the former Nottingham Forest FC, and he is not a superman.  He thought he could be a savior? I think he is fifty years old, his mind should be clear, I didn't think I was wrong again…"

    Twain's comeback plan was greatly ridiculed on the show, and it seems that he does not want Twain to come back.  In fact, the opposite is true.  He wants Twain to come back.  Twain just retired for more than four months, and he already felt that he was soon forgotten, and even the ratings of his own programs began to fall.

    Twain was the most violent group of people attacking Twain when the National Team suffered a crisis of confidence.  His programs naturally followed suit.  At that time, he was the peak of his career.  But since the end of the World Cup in July.  Twain announced his retirement and his program lost its focus at once.

    it's good now.  After hearing that Twain and Forest Club reached an agreement and will re-teach the team, he immediately wants to change his personality. Every day, he is radiantly present in front of everyone, preparing for his new show, which is being played. The program, the theme is Twain back is it wrong or right?

    The three guests who came here are actually foiled, and regardless of their views, Speck is the protagonist.  The audience who came to see his show was directed at his fangs. He liked to listen to the things in his irony and those people. Of course, Twain is often ironic.

    "Now that Tony Twain's return to the Nottingham Forest FC coaching seat has become a reality, then I can assert that he will face a fiasco in his most familiar position and the most proud team. A Waterloo-style fiasco.  The reputation he has worked so hard to build will be defeated in this season! ”

    Finally, Speck made such an attribute.

    At the same time, BBC's "Today's Event" also talked about Twain's upcoming return after the end of the round.

    "The world is unpredictable. I really didn't expect Twain to choose to come back after retirement, and to be the firefighting coach of the Forest team.  It feels a little inconsistent with what he has achieved…"The guest, Alan Shearer, said.

    "This shows that he has a deep affection for the Forest team.  "Mark.Lauren Sen approached.

    Leinkel held his chin and smiled. "I feel very good. I am suddenly looking forward to the English Premier League league in the lower half of the season…"

“……I am full of expectations for the next English Premier League season, and we can see Tony Twain, the madman's wild side.  To be honest, the four months he retired to rest at home was the most difficult four months for me as a football reporter…I don't know what to do every day.  Now, I don't have to wrestle every weekend to think about how to write this week's commentator's article. Tony Twain is sure to give us countless topics.  For example, now, although he only said that he wants to come back, but has not really coached the Forest team, it has already triggered heated discussion among the media.  To know that Tony Twain's return is the headline news for more than half a month! ”Mark who wrote football reviews for The Sun.Heskey rejoiced in the return of Twain.

    “Tony Twain is a news person in the United Kingdom this year. Although this year is not over yet, I don’t think anyone can grab his limelight anymore.  Just returning to coach, you can make countless news media crazy, but there are few such people in the world. ……I think the return of Tony Twain is not only a football issue, but also a social issue worthy of our study…"The Times also wrote an editorial for a football coach to work again.

“……Losing Tony Twain's English Premier League is like a pool of stagnant water.  Sponsors must not want to see such an English Premier League league.  Now, he is back, bringing countless topics and eyeballs, newspaper sales are rising, TV program ratings are increasing, and many people rely on Twain to be able to eat and drink, and it is a miracle.  Now the miracle is back.  "The sky TV Station's website also commented on Twain's return to the Forest team coaching.

    "Evan.The most correct thing Doughty has done in recent years is to re-enter Tony Twain.  Look at the attention of the world media to this lonely team, he has already won.  Regardless of the final results of the Forest team, at least they returned to the center of the media…"

    The media are all looking forward to the return of Twain, but they are only looking forward to the benefits that his extremely exaggerated personality brings to them: rising sales, rising ratings, and increased sponsorship…

    But no one commented on what changes Twain would bring to the Forest team.  Obviously they are not optimistic about Twain's work in the competition, such a Forest team is struggling, even if Tony Twain is coming, I am afraid it will not be good…
