Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 31—Istanbul Night

    The media are still making various speculations about the conflicts between Chimbonda and Bendtner in training, hoping to get live video.  Because everyone knows that Dawson Lin team training has the habit of video recording within the team.

    Sometimes, they can get some training videos through insiders with better relationships.  But this time, all hit the wall.  Those who have a good relationship with the media told them that Twain got his hand after the videotape of the fight, and no one gave it. As for where he went, no one knows.

    Twain didn't want the media to continue to speculate on this past thing. The atmosphere of the team is not easy to get up. This situation must be maintained.  So he left behind the guesswork of the England media, leaving the team with England and going to Turkey.

    Nottingham Forest FC is going to face a very important game.  This game will be related to whether his team can take the first step in the group's qualifying and whether it can block the mouth of the media behind him.  As long as the results are not good, any contradiction will make paparazzi dig out three feet, but as long as the ball is won, then the contradiction is not contradictory, and there is no problem with any problems.

    This is the only truth in the competitive sports world – victory covers everything.

    Having said so many good words, in fact, this game is not good to play, or say…Quite not good to play.

    Besiktas is not a weak team that can be easily dealt with casually. Turkey's home atmosphere is even more famous in the world.  Britain and Turkey already have a feud in football, in the past few years Leeds umited FC fans in Istanbul was Turkey fans stabbed to death, England national team and Turkey national team competition When Beckham dropped a penalty by Turkey player Alpai provocation, after the game also led to two teams in locker room channel fight each other, stir up trouble Alpai even lost work for this-he was played by Aston Villa FC swept away.

    The media pulled out the old squad before the Forest team and the recent news of Chimbonda and Bendtner's fight to prove the internal conflicts of the Forest team.  People are worried, how is this trip to Turkey?

    Twain doesn't care.  What the outside world says is that as long as it does not affect your team, there is nothing.  and alsoFrom another point of view, he can't wait for the media in England to do so.  Because it will confuse the opponent of this game, the Turkey.

    Besiktas is a strong team in the Turkey league and a team that regularly participates in the Europe league.  In Turkey, they are in line with Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe SK. They are strong teams representing the strength of Turkey football.  At the same time, their landlord Stadium Cebeci İnönü Stadium is also the home of the Turkey National Team.  It is known as the "Devil's Home" of European Football.

    Istanbul is a city that spans two continents and has been called “Constantinople” by Westerners.  It is the capital of the Osman Turkey empire, which once brought blood and war to the continent of Europe. The biggest time they used the Mediterranean as their inner lake.  Let the European talk about the "yellow disaster", one of which was derived from the Osma Turkey Empire conquered Europe.

    The predecessor of this country planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of Westerners. The football atmosphere of this country also made Westerners feel fear.  In England, football hooligans may have changed because they drank too much.  But in Turkey, the fans here are crazy enough to drink.  The football circle describes a kind of Stadium atmosphere.  Generally use the "Devil's Home".  But for Turkey's Stadium, perhaps "Hell Home" will be more image.

    Nottingham Forest FC has fully felt the enthusiasm of the Turkey fans since the beginning of the landing –

    "Cry and go back, England hybrid!"

    This is a banner next to the highway that appears in the airport to the hotel, every other distance.  There is absolutely no need to worry about the fans of the Forest team not seeing it.  Turkey's radical fans are convinced that doing so can make the England team feel great psychological pressure to play a role in the game against their team.

    In fact, the players of the Forest team did see it, but whether their hearts really thought like the wishes of the Turkey fans.  Can not be recognized.

    Before departure, United Kingdom TV Station bbc made an album to introduce the style of Turkey fans, and solemnly warned those who want to follow the Forest team to Istanbul's Nottingham Forest FC fans, do not go out alone at night, it is best to go out with friends Don't, don't go to a crowded place, stay away from the Pub.  Finally, follow the team of the Forest Club organization.

    The schedule of the cheering group organized by the Nottingham Forest FC Club for fans is this:

    On the morning of the match, I arrived in Istanbul by plane from London and ate together.  Unify the action, watch the game at night, and fly back to London.

    This did not give fans time to stay overnight in Turkey, which greatly improved security.  However, many fans who like to take free time to watch the ball as a tourist destination feel that they are a limitation of personal freedom. They can't do anything but watch the game.

    Not just Nottingham Forest FC Club, all other England Clubs do this.  On the one hand, from the perspective of cost savings, on the one hand, the safety of the fans – the England fans have become the target of criticism in foreign countries, and repeated fan conflicts and riots.  Let a lot of Clubs have to think about the safety of their supporters.

    This is actually a general contradiction.  Fans want to be more free, so they don't want to go abroad on airplanes and buses.  Clubs are not willing to bring trouble to themselves because of any negative events.  In addition, such an arrangement can really save a lot of money for Club…

    Considering the particularity of the place in Turkey, before the departure, Twain also published an open letter to the fans on the official website of the Club, suggesting that fans who want to go to Turkey to dispel this idea and act with the cheering group of the Club. .

“……I fully understand your feelings, but for football or travel, life is obviously more important.  I and the players don't want to hear bad news from supporters after winning the game.  Gavin .Bernard's business should not be repeated in Nottingham Forest FC fans.  Therefore, I sincerely hope that the fans can follow the Club organization cheering group to come to Turkey…Don't worry if the team that arrives in Istanbul in advance doesn't have the support of your own people. I want to tell everyone.  Our players are completely unaffected by those messy things…So, please come to Istanbul and pay attention to safety! ”

    He said this is quite sincere, so many people finally gave up their plans to come to Turkey, and chose to follow the Club's cheering group in the game when Genius came to Istanbul.  After all , Gavin .Bernard's business is almost a household tragedy in Nottingham, and no one wants his child or himself to be the protagonist of the next tragedy.

    As a result, Nottingham Forest FC arrived in Istanbul for a day and a half, in addition to the media journal of the event and a few Forest fans.  I have never seen Britain again.

    However, I fully appreciate what is called "the enthusiasm of the host."

    They were arranged to stay in the downtown area of ​​Istanbul, and at night they could hear the sound of the night outside the fans.  This is obviously dedicated to stimulating the Forest team and disturbing their rest.  Everything is for the team that supports them to win in the next day's game.

    Chrislake once negotiated with the person in charge of the hotel, but the other party shared their hands: "The private actions of the fans, our hotel can't help, let alone they are on the street outside the hotel…We don't want to manage it.  ”

    The team called to warn these people to disturb the people.  As a result, the gang ran out before the police came.  After the police came, they turned around in a pretentious manner and then said to the people in the Forest team: "There are no people who saw you."  "I will withdraw."  It didn't take long.  The group returned, and sang the songs in the Turkey language below, which sounded like fans playing for Besiktas.  Of course, the middle is naturally mixed with the insult and middle finger of the Forest team.

    Twain was lying in bed and couldn't sleep with the noise of the song downstairs.  He got up and walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked down.

    The glazing has been completely closed, but it still can't stop the noise that this group of lunatic intentionally made.

    The group of people lit a fireworks.  Waving the black and white flag on behalf of Besiktas, singing loudly, singing tired, screaming, and constantly pointing to the hotel than the middle finger, if you see which window lights up, these fans will send out The cheers of victory, then the more exciting.  Twain clearly saw the bottles that had been scattered all over the streetlights and the fireworks in their hands.

    Really worthy of Turkey…

    He has a side head.  I can't see the situation of the room next to me.  But he knows that this level of noise will definitely have a certain impact on the team.  Some people are born with slow nerves, thunder can sleep, and some people are nervous, and a little bit of noise can make them wake up from their sleep.

    The Forest team has both kinds of people.

    Twain feels that he really has no way to face such a situation.  Even if he knocks on the door in a room, let the players ignore the noise outside and sleep peacefully.  It does not help.  The one who can't sleep can't sleep.  It may have been awakened by him if he fell asleep.  Feeding sleeping pills? Not even better, in case the urine check out what is not good for the Forest team after the game.  You told people that this is because you can't sleep at night and eat some tranquilizers. Do people listen?

    So…Turkey fans This move is really poisonous and it makes the opponent helpless.

    Twain stood in front of the window and looked at it for a while. His whole process was expressionless from beginning to end. From the expression, others could not see whether he was angry or helpless at this moment.

    The fans in Turkey are still tossing, and Twain decided not to play with them.  Their purpose is to make the people of the Forest team unable to sleep, and if they stand here and they are doing it, they will be the traitors of these people.

    Twain went back to the bed, stuffed the ipod's earphones into his ear and listened to the music falling asleep.

    He is between the nerve strip and the neurasthenia.

    The next day, when eating breakfast, Twain was always observing the mental state of the players. The yawning does not mean that there is no rest at night. Maybe it is just getting out of bed, and the spirit has not recovered.  People who didn't sleep well were awkward and their eyes were black.  Twain noticed a few people who were wondering if the night game would allow several of these people to start.

    Gareth Bale is clearly one of these people.  When he had breakfast, he lowered his head and was languid. He didn't seem to have any appetite. Some mechanical forks pulled the fruit salad in the dish.

    There are several like him, including…Team Assistant Coach David Chrislake.

    "Good morning, Toni…"David Chrislake carried the plate and was awkward at the special table of the coaching staff.

    "You didn't sleep well at night.  Twain glanced at his plate and there was very little food on it. It seems that Chrislake has no appetite for food.

    "Don't you sleep well?"

    Just so so  Twain shrugged. "I listened to the music and fell asleep later."  ”

    Hearing Twain, Chrislake sighed: "You can still sleep in your ear…I can't have a bit of other sounds, otherwise it's like this.  He opened his eyelids and let Twain see the bloodshot eye.

    "very pitiful.  Twain grinned.  "What is our plan for the morning?"

    “Go to Stadium for the last time to adapt to the training of the venue.  "Tang next to him answered him."

    Cancel  Twain waved his fork, "Let the team go to sleep."  During the day, the group of idiots should not come here to argue? ”

    "The daytime was very noisy, here is the downtown area.  "Tang reminded him.

    "But our players must have enough sleep, otherwise they will be insane in the evening game.  Moreover, I feel that the night sounds noisy because the idiots deliberately created a lot of noise, and those voices are clear in the silent night.  But during the day…Everyone is used to this level of sound, and may not feel how noisy it is now.  People who didn't sleep well at night were not mentally motivated. I felt that they would fall asleep when they fell on the bed, so they wouldn't be outside.  I feel that I can't sleep. It should be that I sleep a good night.  Twain blinked at Chrislake as if to show off his ability to fall asleep in such a noisy environment.  "You have to go to sleep too.  ”

    ButWe have already said in advance to the people of Besiktas Club that they will open the Stadium in the morning for us to adapt to training…"

    Twain waved his hand: "Let them open the Stadium and wait.  My team has the biggest thing, their thing…Well, I can't manage it.  ”

    He has some wayward clappers.  To say that it was tossed for one night, there was no ignition, it was an inflatable doll.  Twain naturally has a fire in his heart, and it is not small. He just wants to be too excited in front of his own people, otherwise he will be self-defeating.  But there is a chance to retaliate against the Turkey who doesn't care.  Although last night's things may have nothing to do with the Besiktas Club, it doesn't matter to the poor Stadium Administrator.  But Twain equated all the Turkey people at this moment.

    So when the journalists gathered at Cebeci İnönü Stadium and prepared to shoot the Forest team for field adaptation training, the Forest team's player slept in their hotel room.  The poor journalists waited for half an hour and had not waited for the arrival of Nottingham Forest FC.

    Dozens of journeylists were aired by Twain for a morning, the day was sunny, and the heat was surprisingly late in October…
