Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 40 leaves? This is really a problem…

    BirrShankley was the greatest football coach of his time, and he brought the previously unknown Liverpool FC into a Champion team.  He has left a lot of famous football sayings that have been known to the public. The most famous one is of course the phrase "Soccer has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death".

    But he suddenly announced his resignation at the most glorious moment of his coaching career, and shocked England football at the time.  The reason given by Shankley is that he has to spend more time with his wife, and seven years later he died of a heart attack.

    Twain wasn't at Shankley at the time, and he didn't know if Shankley made the decision to accompany his wife.  But from a peer perspective, he felt that he could understand Shankley's original move.  Aside from the idea of ​​health and caring for the wife, considering the issue from the team, Shankley's departure is a good thing for Liverpool FC.

    Because if he does not leave, how can the obscure Pasley be born? Before you know, Paisley is just an ordinary player, and he has never proved himself in the coaching position.  And Pasley and Shankley can be considered the opposite type of coach. Shankley likes to give encouragement and encouragement to the team through the media. Twain is quite similar to him.  Pasley is more pragmatic and lower, and Tang and he are very similar.

    This is a coincidence, but it seems to be the same in heaven.

    Twain and Don are like the original Shankley and Paisley.

    BirrShankley took Liverpool FC from the second division to the then top league in England, the England Football League.  On the number of Champions obtained, he is certainly not as good as his successor Bob.Pasley's, but he is indeed the founder of Paisley, he made Liverpool FC a force that can not be ignored in the England football.  On the basis of him, Paisley created the great achievements of the "Nineteen Nineteen Crowns".  But you can't simply attribute these achievements to the reason why Shankley has laid the foundation.  To know that Shankley's reputation was not good at the time, his influence at Liverpool FC was like that of Busby at Manchester United FC, no matter who he was his successor.  The pressure is very huge.  But Paisley, a low-key successor, has always placed himself in the position of "transitional coach", but led Liverpool FC to take care of Shankley's influence and complete what Shankley did not do at the beginning.

    Will it be like this after Tang? Leading Nottingham Forest FC to get rid of the influence of Tony Twain and create his Forest dynasty?

    Twain is very much looking forward to seeing this day.

    He chose to set the successor as Tang. Naturally, after considering it all, his confidence in Tang is definitely not the result of impulsiveness.

    Shankley's story is a household name in England.  If Evan really knows about football, he should know the story.  But is he clear about the story behind this story?

    Twain didn't know.

    Once again, Evan refused to invite himself to stay, and Twain led the team back to Nottingham to continue their league journey.  In the FA Cup, after the pass of Tang, Twain simply gave up the event.  Almost all of the Nottingham Forest FC, consisting of the second team and the Youth Team player, lost to Everton FC in the next round.

    For many Forest supporters, this defeat makes them very sorry.  Because they think this is the only chance that Nottingham Forest FC will be able to return to Europe, the Forest team will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to revitalize.  However, the team actually lost the game.  And from the game point of view, Twain does not care about the FA Cup victory.

    After the failure of this game, there were some minor "objections" in the media.  They think that Twain must still think that the FA Cup is insignificant, but I don't know that the FA Cup is the last straw for the current Forest team.

    However, as the team's ranking in the league climbed.  The voice of this criticism slowly disappeared.  Because they saw Twain's intentions – he didn't expect to rely on the FA Cup's Champion for the team to get a ticket to the Europe game.  The FA Cup cup is too contingent, and has long been known as the "hotbed of unpopularity", and Twain is not willing to gamble.  In comparison, the long league season is more suitable for today's Nottingham Forest FC.

    Decisively give up the FA Cup.  They also got enough physical strength for the Forest team to ensure that they will not fight for the double line, but in the end both collapse, the bamboo baskets are empty.

    The team also agrees with Twain's strategy.  Looking at the rising ranks, they are also full of confidence in this "fire-fighting coach."

    Evan .Doughty hasn't come to Twain since that day, talking about the topic he wants to stay.

    Twain didn't know if Evan was dead. Anyway, he was determined to decide, and he didn't care how others persuaded him.

    It was on the stage of the home league of the round.  Twain unexpectedly heard the voices from the fans.

    In the Robin Hood stand, there are fans hanging banners that read: "We hope that Season can still see you, Toni.  ”

    Although only this one, it was seen by Twain.  He but don't worry about this is Evan.Doughty is instructed.  Club Chairman Mr.
The status of the fans is very low, even if he wants the fans to do so, they will not get a match.

    This must be the spontaneous action of the fans.

    It's no secret that he only has half a season in the Forest team.  The media have reported it.  Only then did many people doubt whether they could lead the Forest team out of the woods again.  So even if you only have half a season, no one thinks something is wrong.  They may also think "Tony Twain has no confidence in himself.  So I chose to sign only half of the Season's Contract…"

    Fans naturally know that Twain only has half a season's contract.  However, they always hoped that Twain would stay. They said this from the beginning of the interview. Now, as the season of the season is approaching, they simply put this emotion into action and express it directly.

    So Twain saw the slogan of retaining him at the home stadium.

    Two days later, at Wilford Lane, Twain saw this slogan again.  Twain saw the people who slogan, not John.  But another group of people, they should belong to another fan group, and Twain has no personal friendship with them.

    The banner was hung outside the barbed wire fence, but it attracted a lot of attention.  The media took pictures of this banner before leaving, and the players trained on the field would look at the banner from time to time.  Even the colleagues in the coaching staff will study the banners in the distance with great interest during the break.

    "I think if I am a fan, I will do the same…"Freddy .Eastwood looked at the banner that swayed in the wind in the distance.

    His words were endorsed by most people.  Twain is the isolated minority.

    "It seems that you don't want me to go?"

    "It’s fun to ask this question, Toni.  Who wants you to go? ”David Chrislake took the call.

    Twain looked at the eyes of his colleagues.  Know that they are not lying.  But I have to go.

    He didn't want to continue on this topic, so he had to bow his head and smile.

    Everyone knows that Twain also has his reasons, so he did not continue to discuss this topic.

    Twain looked up again and looked at the banner in the distance.

    At the weekend, Nottingham Forest FC was still at home, and Twain saw more similar slogans in the stands, all of which he wanted to stay.

    Even the live broadcast cameras noticed that in the live broadcast, several banners were displayed on the stands.

    In this game.  Nottingham Forest FC achieved the final victory.  The ranking continues to rise and has reached the seventh.

    This result has made the fans more reluctant to let Twain go.

    After the game, there were already fans who spontaneously formed a group that advised Twain to stay. The name was called "Toni stayed."  They quickly established the official website of the organization and called on more fans to join in the online.  Form a force that cannot be ignored to retain Twain.

    Later, both the training ground and the stadium were able to see the slogan of retaining Twain. Twain chose silence when facing the voices of the fans and the media.

    The journalists hope that he will comment on this.  Twain rejected their questions on the grounds that "I just want to concentrate on the team now."

    If he does not speak, he does not mean that the media have nothing to say.  What does the media do? They can let the dead speak, not to mention a big living person.

    The next day, there was such a title in the press, "Tony Twain is silent to call the fans, hesitating."

    If you don't talk, just find a hat and buckle first. The more silent you are, the easier it will be.  Even if they are dead, they have a way to let him speak.

    As expected…

    "It’s impossible to go on like this…Toni.  "Wilford Lane has a large number of fans outside the training ground. They hold the portrait of Twain and keep his slogan.  It has completely interfered with the normal training order.  Looking at these people, Assistant Coach David Chrislake said helplessly to Twain.

    The players looked at these enthusiastic fans and felt that they were at a loss.  They certainly know that this is the reason for the head. But they can't say that, they can only secretly turn their eyes to Tony Twain, with fear on his face.

    Twain looked at the more and more fans, and frowned.  From a few days ago, the number of fans gathered outside the training ground was much more obvious. They came here only for one purpose – to change their decision to leave the team after the season.

    However, I did not expect that only the fans spontaneously organized activities.  It is possible to get the response of so many people.

    I should be happy for my charm.  Still feeling a headache for this?

    Twain thinks so in my heart.

    "You continue to train, I will talk to them.  Twain waved his hand.  Let the team continue to train, and then turned to walk to the training ground.

    Seeing Twain's far back, Eastwood spread his hand and sighed: "This is the trouble of being too popular…"

    And the fans who stood on the sidelines saw Twain coming to them, but they were loudly noisy, but they quieted down, and they all watched Twain quietly in front of them, only with the wire mesh and them. Vision.

    "What should I say, guys…"Twain smiled and shook his head.  "I am very grateful to you for being so able to see me, but you did interfere with our normal training…I don't want to do any closed training anymore.  ”

    "Toni.  We just hope that you stay.  "They are obviously the leaders who stood up."  Twain noticed the t-shirt he wore, with his avatar on it and a "left" under his head.  And there are a lot of people wearing this t-shirt, it really is organized, even the theme t-shirts are printed…

    Although David Chrislake blew the whistle of continuing training, the players on the court seemed a little absent-minded.  Some of them will sneak into the area where the fans gather from time to time, and the head is still talking to them.

    "Hey, George.  Do you say that the head will stay? ”

    JoeMatok squatted while doing group pass practice.  Ask Wood with his group.

    Wood hasn't answered yet, but the groupmates next to them have erected their ears and are waiting for Wood's answer.  Everyone knows that Wood and Twain are the closest in the team. If you want to know who knows the best, then it must be Wood.

    After Wood received the pass from Matok, there was no horse to upload it back, but the football was adjusted twice at the foot, and he was thinking about it for a short time.  When he passed the football back, he shook his head and said, "I don't think so."  ”

    There was a sigh of pity and disappointment immediately around them.

    "Why not?"Martok passed the football again.  "I think he enjoys work and football.  Will you not change your mind at the last moment? ”

    I don't know.  But this time I think he will not come back.  Wood also gave the football and the answer to Martock.

    IntuitionMatock continued to pass to Wood.

    "Yes.  Intuition  Wood returned to Martok.

    This time, Matok did not pass the ball to Wood, but sighed on the ball with one foot.

    “Why is the head unwilling to do more seasons? I think his body is completely ok…"

    No one answered his question this time, that is, George Wood did not. He was twisting his head and looking out of the training ground.  Twain is still negotiating with the fans, and the voice from there has been a lot smaller.

    "Why don't you advise him to stay, are you not Captain?"

    The person who asked was not Matok, but was next to Balotelli.

    For this Italy black.  Tony Twain conquered him in just a few months.  Now he just wants to play for Twain. If he changes to another Manager, he probably won't take it.  Now that I heard that Twain will go, how could he not care?

    Wood regained his gaze and looked at Balotelli.  For this person who has always despised his Captain authority, Wood can't talk about it, but he doesn't like it.

    "Everyone has their own life.  He replied blankly.  "I have no right to interfere.  ”

    All right.  guys.  In order to cooperate with the training of the team, I hope that you can leave and stop doing this kind of thing.  As for your wishes, I will seriously consider it. Please give me a few days. At that time, I will hold a special press conference to inform you of the results I have considered.  Twain said to his loyal fans across the barbed wire.

    "Our team is now in a very critical period, and if the season can return to Europe, it will look at the performance of this time.  I don't want them to be disturbed…You blame them for not even training now.  Twain pointed his finger at the training ground behind him.

    The team's performance fans are also coming to the ground.  It is true that they have appeared on the side of the training ground with great fanfare.  The bunch of players seemed a little absent-minded.  Some mistakes that will never happen in training begin to appear frequently.

    They also know that they interfere with the normal training of the team, but just want to leave Twain too.  Have to do very much.

    "Let's go, guys.  Thank you for your support of me and the team.  I will definitely consider your request seriously.  ”

    When Twain finished saying this, he stood at the end of the barbed wire and looked at the opposite fans.

    Under his gaze, the leader took the first statement: "Good, Toni.  We also don't want to influence the team's training and performance.  Thank you for coming here to talk to us. We know that you are a busy person.  ”

    Then the leader took the lead and turned and left.  Others followed him behind the training ground. Of course, many of them did not forget to look back at the Twain standing on the sidelines. Twain still stood on the sidelines and watched them leave.

    A voice asked in Twain's heart: Do you really think about their request seriously?

    Twain is speechless.
