Chapter 746 Volume 2009 The Last Time of Crimson in [-]

After shaking hands with Manchester United at home, the scouts of Nottingham Forest were greatly encouraged. In the next game, they used their actual actions to keep slapping those doubters.

On September 27, in the eighth round, they beat Newcastle 1-0 in an away game.

On October 2rd, in the ninth round, Hull City, the big dark horse of last season, took a 0-[-] home victory over Hull City.

On October 2th, the tenth round, they beat Portsmouth 1:[-] at home.

On October 25th, the No.11 round drew Manchester City 3:3 away.

Starting from the fourth round of the league on August [-]th, Tony Twain's boy scouts had been unbeaten for eight consecutive rounds.The ranking also jumped from the penultimate to the positive seventh.

For a time, the Premier League slapped the ears endlessly.

Now, except for Carl Spike, who is not optimistic about Nottingham Forest as always, everyone else has silenced.

The performance of several first-year students has also been recognized by the public.

Chris Cohen has never been famous, but his several key performances so far this season have brought the team a minimum of seven league points.He belongs to the kind of non-star player who doesn't shine on the football field and doesn't attract too many people's attention, but is very practical.Compared with Mo Ke, who was relegated to the reserve team, his talent is not outstanding, his speed is not fast, his extraordinary ability is average, but he is more comprehensive.He has comprehensive skills and a relatively comprehensive position. He can play as a left midfielder or a central midfielder. He is quite good at passing and crossing.He was also very honest. Tang En did what he said, no matter whether he was a substitute or not on the roster, he never complained.

Chris Commons has been sold by Tang En for 200 million pounds, and now there are only Petrov and Cohen on the left midfielder position.While Petrov is aging, Cohen can become a stable member of the Forest team in the next few years.He will be luckier than Commons, because the Forest team may not have much transfer funds to buy those famous stars in the next few years, so he will get more opportunities to play.Unlike Commons, who can only play in the League Cup, FA Cup and some garbage time.

Cohen's performance also attracted some people's attention. The league hadn't even finished halfway, and there were already rumors that a certain club was interested in Cohen.A wide player who is willing to chase back and defend, and has a precise cross is indeed the favorite of many teams.

Victor Moses' performance is also remarkable. So far he has played a total of 340 minutes, scoring two goals and assisting three times.This result is considered qualified for a talented first-year Premier League student.

And it's only been half a season. As long as Twain continues to give him opportunities, I believe he will continue to repay Twain.

He embodies the quality expected of a player of African descent, the only problem now is inconsistent performance.Both of his goals and three assists came in three games.However, instability cannot be regarded as a shortcoming of young players, which is normal.All Tang En has to do is to give him patience and encouragement,
Niklas Milan is also a striker, but he has a lot of playing time, because besides a striker, he can also play as a full-back. The technical characteristics of South American players are fully displayed in him.With his delicate skills, he is a different kind of scenery in the Premier League.His speed and technique ensure that he can walk among the tall defenders in the Premier League. This has one of the most obvious advantages-he can always win the frontcourt for the team, and then Gareth Bale can play. There is room.

Of course, he also brought himself some bad reputation by doing so, such as: "Chilean who is prone to falling" and "Dipping Kid".Every time opponents and the media criticize Milan in this way, Twain will scold those people face to face in his column or when he is interviewed by other media—"If the referee says it is a foul, then it is a foul. If you are not convinced, please go Question the referee's judgment standard, and stop talking about my players!"

Although Milan has only scored one goal so far, his skills have indeed enriched the Forest team's frontcourt offensive routines.

His biggest problem now is that his body is slightly thin.Although it is possible to create set pieces for the team.But no coach wants his forwards to play for the sole purpose of winning free-kicks and penalties for themselves.If he still wants to have greater development, he should work hard to improve his confrontation ability.In the Premier League, if the body is not strong enough, no matter how good the technique is, it will not be able to survive.

Even so, Nicholas Milan's performance is worthy of the title of "boy genius".In Chile, his reputation is growing day by day.Because of him, many Chileans have become fans of Nottingham Forest. Every time there is a Nottingham Forest game, they look forward to coach Tony Twain's "treasure".

Of all the freshmen, only Joe Mattock played the fewest minutes.Of course, it didn't mean Tang En treated them differently.In fact, the back line is a very important position, and the original configuration cannot be easily changed.Giving young people a chance is only considered when there is really a shortage of people in the back line.

Tang En was worried about what Matok would think, so he went to chat with him a few days and told him that the current situation of the team is that the defense line must be stable, while those on the offensive line can play freely.So as a guard, Joe Mattock's playing opportunities are indeed less than several other first-year teammates.

But Dunn assured Mattok that he was still in his own plan.It's just that he hopes that Martok can try a few more positions, such as central defender and right back.

In the Forest team, if you want to get a chance to play, players who can play multiple positions at the same time have a slight advantage over players who specialize in one position.

Joe Mattock accepted Twain's advice and is trying to adapt to the position of right back.

The reason why he worked so hard was because everything he saw at Nottingham Forest told himself that Tony Twain was indeed a head coach worth entrusting to the future. Coach Pierce did not deceive himself, and that Nottingham Forest is currently the most suitable for him. team.

Although they have achieved eight unbeaten rounds, it does not mean that the league is going smoothly.

In the next No.12 league round, Nottingham Forest challenged Arsenal away.

This game was considered by some English media as a "contest between young people".In the end, Arsenal came out on top, defeating Nottingham Forest 3:2 by virtue of their home advantage.Ended Forest's eight-round unbeaten run.

In this game, Jack Wilshere, who scored one goal and assisted two goals, was elected the best player in the game. The brilliance of this 17-year-old genius almost overwhelmed the entire Nottingham Forest team.The commentator kept chanting his name during the game, as if he had become a fan of Wilshere.Every time he took the ball, there were thunderous cheers at the Emirates Stadium.

In the game, he even overwhelmed captain Cesc Fabregas.

Shaheen, John Bostock, Niklas Milan and Cohen, and then Victor Moses, who came off the bench, were nothing compared to Wilshere's performance.

"He is a true genius!"

"Jack was born! Capello was sitting in the box at the Emirates Stadium. He must have remembered all of Wilshere's performances in his heart. Maybe we can see the 17-year-old in the next England training list. name..."

"He is another treasure that Arsenal has given us!"

"When Walcott is still on the bench, we can already start to look forward to the day when Wilshere becomes the leader of England's Premier League!"

……

After the game, all kinds of compliments flew to Jack Wilshere. Although this was not his first season in the Premier League, he was selected as the best player in this game. He was born when he played against Nottingham Forest, and became famous in the first battle.

In the minds of Arsenal fans, what a suitable stage this game is - Nottingham Forest, which has been rampant in recent years, has become the backing of Wilshere alone, and it is really an excellent opponent.

But Tang En has a different opinion on this.

When he was interviewed the second day after the game, a reporter asked him to comment on Wilshere, who was active in yesterday's game.He smiled and said: "I think Jack Wilshere is a well-deserved talent. I started to pay attention to him a year ago, when I wanted to loan to Wenger. Unfortunately, he refused. He is very happy. Talented and capable. I have no doubts that he will be successful in the future. But..." Tang En shrugged his shoulders, "A player who performed well in a game and suddenly became famous in one game, that's It doesn't surprise me that something like that happened to Wilshere. But it's a pity it's against us and it's a bit of a fluke in my opinion...You know, George didn't play yesterday."

The subtext of his words is "If George Wood is on, whether Wilshere can become the focus of the game against the Forest team, then it is not certain."

It's sure to upset Arsenal fans when he says that.But what he said was also true.

George Wood had been suspended for one game prior to this game for accumulating five yellow cards.Just missed the match against Arsenal.George Wood's defensive ability in England no longer needs to be said by Twain, everyone knows it.So if George Wood hadn't been suspended, would Wilshere, who was in the opposite position, still be able to perform so well?
You know, in the game, Wilshere almost seemed to be in no one's land, and Thiago couldn't keep up with the kid's rhythm at all.It looks like the younger ones are bullying the older ones...

But many people believe that if Thiago is replaced by George Wood.Wilshere would be honest in the first 15 minutes because of the repeated violations by Wood.

In fact, Wenger also officially took a fancy to George Wood's suspension, so he arranged for Wilshere to start in this game, and boldly handed over the responsibility of frontcourt organization to him.

His gamble paid off and both Arsenal and Wilshere succeeded.

Only Tang En was a little depressed.He wanted to comfort his first-year students after the game, telling them that winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, and losing to Arsenal is not an unacceptable result... Then he used words to run on George Wood in training: "Look, George. You are not in a game, and even underage children can make their heads."

So George Wood would use his usual tone and say very seriously: "I hope that person will still start the game in the next match."

Tang En was giggling beside him - he lost the game, but he wasn't angry.Unlike the previous two seasons when he had to lose a game, his mentality seems to be a little more relaxed now.

Yes, he led a group of players with an average age of no more than 25 years old, including a few freshmen who were not optimistic. The club's financial situation was not very good, and life was tight, but there was no pressure.

The days of gritting your teeth every day last season seem to be a distant memory.

Even losing is normal nowadays. It takes time for a team to mature again, and it is not something that can be done in a day from first-year students to second-year students.

In addition, Tang En himself didn't want to put too much load on his heart - he was mainly worried that Shania would not be able to bear it, but he himself had nothing to do with it.

He quit smoking and drinking, and the way to relieve stress is to go shopping with Shania. In this era of tense economic environment, many stores are having big sales, and discounts and promotions are changing. Now is a good time to shop .Or go to the forest bar to order a glass of juice and chat with the old buddies.Otherwise, it's a spat with Carl Spike in the media, spraying it every day is beneficial to the body and mind.

Anyway, life is very comfortable.

Allen was flying around outside all day, busy getting sponsorship money for the new stadium construction plan, but this one thing was enough to make him burnt out.And Dunn can automatically block all these annoying things leisurely, leaving Evan and Allen to worry about it.He just leads the team to play games, and doesn't even think about buying anyone for the time being.As long as the club can still afford everyone's salary, he doesn't have to worry about it.

In this way, under his leadership, the team occasionally wins and sometimes does not win. The performance fluctuates, but it is slowly making progress towards the new year.

Half of the season is about to pass, and it is another year of Christmas.

※ ※ ※

On the first Christmas of the newlyweds, Shania spent it on T-stages all over the world as usual.As usual, Tang En also finished Christmas Eve dinner with Tang at Wood's house.Every winter, Sophia's face would be extraordinarily pale.Tang En knew that cold winter was the most difficult time for people with physical illness to survive.After the spring blossoms next year, his body should gradually get better—at least he believed so.

In 2009, he spent almost half a year in the shadow of heart disease, but reaped the love of his life.Although his career has encountered a trough, it seems interesting now-he can make a comeback.When he appears in Europe again, I don't know if the red color will be stronger...
