Chapter 99 Volume [-] Nottingham's sky let me play

Tang En stood on the sidelines of the No. [-] court of the youth training base, watching Andrew leader watering the court.Then he looked up again at the sky, which was overcast with no rain.
"Damn it, you can't trust the weather forecast at home and abroad!" Tang En cursed in a low voice. "Is this light to moderate rain?"
Tang En looked at his watch. There was still nearly an hour before the start of the game. He signaled to Andrew that they could stop watering.
"No more watering? Are you sure, Mr. Tang En?" Andrew asked loudly as he stood in the middle of the venue wearing a raincoat and wellies while holding a water pipe that was still bubbling out.
"I'm sure! Very sure! If you keep pouring water, we and Arsenal will switch to water polo!"
Andrew waved his hand when he heard Tang En's answer, and the staff packed up their tools and left the field.Tang En went up and stepped on it, and it was very slippery, as if it had just rained.He is very satisfied with Andrew's work.
Although before the mid-90s, especially in the Graham era, Arsenal had a tough and rough style of play and insisted on the boring "1:0 doctrine". Football was flying around in the air most of the time, which was not good-looking at all.But since the arrival of the Frenchman Arthur Wenger, this situation has changed drastically. The French have brought artistic football, emphasizing the enjoyment of football, paying attention to the coordination of short passes on the ground, and emphasizing the display of personal skills. Today's Arsenal is playing the most beautiful football in England and is praised by the world.
However, teams that like to play like this have higher requirements for the field. The wet, muddy, potholed football field is definitely not a suitable stage for Arsenal to perform.
Fat John and Thin Bill have already arrived, and there are quite a few people here. If these people were placed in the city stadium, they could almost fill a small stand.They stood in two rows outside the barbed wire, taking up most of the length of the court.Although not everyone wore the red forest team jersey like Fat John, they all wore red scarves, and some even made a slogan overnight and hung it on the barbed wire.There was a cartoon portrait of Tony Twain drawn on it. Although it didn't look like it, it still stood out - his messy hair because he hadn't taken care of it all the time.Next to the picture is written this sentence:
Hey Tony!Give us another win!
When the wind blows, the portrait floats up, looking like Tony Twain is roaring on the court.

Looking at these enthusiastic fans, Dunn shook his head with a smile, then walked over and chatted with them through the barbed wire.These people were all regulars at the Forest Bar, and Tang En knew very well that they were his most loyal supporters.Just like every player has a group of fans, an organization like a fan group, although Twain is not a player, he also has his own fans...

It feels so good to be loved and recognized...
They got together and chatted for more than 20 minutes. The youth team players came to the stadium one after another, and then went to the locker room to change their jerseys under the leadership of Chris Lack, and came out to warm up.John and the others began to cheer for this group of children.Although there are often loyal fans watching youth team games, the players are still surprised and excited by the large number today.

Just when these kids had just stepped onto the court to warm up, their opponents came.
With the sound of car horns, a red and white bus turned from the asphalt road next to the stadium.The logo of the Arsenal club is painted on the body, as well as the name.The bus passed the stadium and headed for the parking lot.Tang En took a glance, said goodbye to John and the others, turned around and returned to the home team's coaching bench - in fact, it was a few folding chairs for the coaches and long wooden benches for the players to sit on.
Soon, people from the Arsenal youth team walked in through the main entrance.Dunn saw a few familiar faces in the crowd - Francesc Fabregas, Gael` Clichy, Michael Papadopoulos, Felipe . Senderos (Philippe` Senderos).

The owners of these names will occupy a place in international football in the future, and now their oldest and youngest are only 15 years old.After the players, stepping into the field are the coaches.
The head coach of Arsenal's youth team, Liam` Brady, walked towards Tony Twain and extended his hand to show his friendliness to his opponent.He is a famous Arsenal player. He once played for Arsenal from 1975 to 1980. He was the core of the team's midfielder and the brain on the field. Now he is the youth director of the Gunners.But Tang En didn't know this person, and what surprised him was the tall man standing not far behind Brady, with silver-gray hair and a big protruding nose, just like a serious bean Sir—this is the head coach of the Gunners, French professor Arthur Wenger.
How did the first-team manager come here?A trace of doubt flashed through Tang En's mind.
"Mr. Dunn, good afternoon. I hope the game to be played later will be a good one." Brady said the "three noes" greetings that were not nutritious, innovative or useful.He didn't take Tang En seriously, nor did he take the Forest team seriously.How about having one of the top youth facilities in the UK?Our Arsenal has the world's top youth training system.
"Hmm..." Tang En's mind was full of questions like "Why did Wenger come here?" "What's his intention for coming here?" He responded with a very cool politeness.
In the eyes of Arsenal's famous Mr. Brady, he would naturally not feel very happy. He thought that Tang En looked down on the Arsenal youth team and himself, so he didn't say much, turned around and walked back.Tang En's eyes were still on Wenger, and when he saw that there was another person beside Wenger, he realized that Mr. Brady had already gone back, did he say anything to himself just now?Ah, hell, looks like I've offended someone else...
Wenger was chatting with Brady, his eyes fixed on Cesc Fabregas on the field.Tang En understood that the French must have come to inspect the performance of several young people.
The French defender Clichy, who arrived from Cannes this summer, has already played for Arsenal's first team in the Premier League, but in limited numbers, and Wenger also made him play in the youth team in order to maintain his competitive form.The same situation with Clichy is the tall Swiss central defender Senderos.
Of course, Twain had reason to believe that the main purpose of Wenger's trip to Nottingham this time was to inspect the Spanish kid who had just been bought for a month - Francesc Fabregas.
Fabregas, who is a little thin, is warming up on the court. He looks very confident and not stage fright.And... he's only been here for a month and it looks like he's been at Arsenal for ten years.Obviously, he will be the core of this team, the key figure in this game.
Is there anyone in the Forest team who can guard him?Tang En looked at the Forest players who were warming up on the other side of the court and scratched his head.
The arrival of Wenger caused some commotion among the fans watching the game. This is a celebrity in the Premier League and a world-class head coach.John and some of them are not only supporting the Forest team, they are also fans of Arsenal, because Arsenal's games are very good-looking and very offensive.
Someone whistled excitedly: "Look! It's the Frenchman!"
"Why is he here?"
"What the hell! Maybe we can ask him for an autograph after the game..."
"Fool!" interrupted the lively discussion of these people, Fat John said with a grimace, "Now he is our enemy, don't be so enthusiastic! You really disgraced me! Come on, shout with me— — forest forest!"
"Forest! Forest!!" A group of men raised their arms high and roared at the top of their voices.
Mr. Brady wanted to go on the court to personally guide the team to warm up, but just as he stepped onto the court, he suddenly heard a roar from the fans outside the court. His heart trembled, his feet slipped, and he sat down on the ground!
"Damn it! Ah..." Brady, who was sitting on the ground feeling shameless, patted the ground angrily, and as a result, mud was thrown on his face, and his palm was covered with more Much sludge. "What kind of bad stadium is this?"
Wenger, who was standing next to him, saw Brady's foot slipping, and wanted to reach out to help him, but it was a step too late, and the youth team director fell to the ground in front of him in a funny way.Seeing the players on the field wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, Wenger showed a slight smile. "Liam, get up. The Forest team must have done this on purpose." He took out a clean towel and handed it to Brady. "Wipe your face first, then your butt."
In fact, Wenger has noticed the problem of the field for a long time. Look at the expressions and movements of the players warming up on the field, and look at the dirt and turf that is constantly being turned up... He also encountered such things in the Super League field. I've been there, but... no team seems to be doing as well as the Forest team - it seems that they are also warming up very uncomfortable.

After the warm-up was over, the two sides returned to their respective coaches to accept the final instructions from the coaches.
