...

Bill Shankley was the greatest football coach of his time. He led Liverpool, who had previously been unknown, into a championship team. He left behind many famous football quotes that are still well-known today. The most famous one is of course the saying "Football 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, which shocked the English football world at that time. Shankley gave the reason that he wanted to spend more time with his wife, and he died of a heart attack seven years later.

Donn was not with Shankley at the time, and he didn't know if Shankley made such a decision to accompany his wife. But from a peer perspective, he felt that he could understand Shankley's original actions. Putting aside the idea of ​​health and taking care of his wife and considering the problem from the team, Shankley's departure is actually a good thing for Liverpool.

Because if he didn't leave, how could the unknown Pasley come out of nowhere? You should know that before that, Pasley was just an ordinary player and had never proved himself in the coaching position at all. And Pasley and Shankley can be regarded as completely opposite types of coaches. Shankley likes to express motivation and encouragement to the team through the media, which is quite similar to him. Pasley is more pragmatic and low-key, and Tang is also very similar to him.

This is a coincidence, but it seems that there is God's will in the dark.

Tang En and Tang are like Shankley and Pasley.

Bill Shankley brought Liverpool from the second division to the English top league at that time - the English Football League One. In terms of the number of championships he won, he is definitely not as good as his successor Bob Passley, but he is indeed the founder of Passley. It was him who made Liverpool a force that cannot be ignored in English football. On his basis, Passley created great achievements in the "nine years and nineteen championships". But these achievements cannot be made.

It is simply attributed to the reason why Shankley has laid a solid foundation. You should know that Shankley's reputation was unparalleled at that time. His influence in Liverpool was like Busby at Manchester United, no matter who was his successor. The pressure was very huge. But Pasley, a low-key successor, has always placed himself as a "transition coach", but led Liverpool to ask Shankley to influence and accomplish what Shankley did not do at the time.

Will Tang be like this in the future? Lead Nottingham Forest to get rid of Tony Tang's influence and create his forest dynasty?

Tang En is looking forward to seeing this day.

His choice to define his successor as Tang was naturally considered after a thorough consideration. His confidence in Tang was definitely not the result of a momentary impulse.

Shankley's story is well-known in England. If Evan really learned about football, he should know the story. But is he clear about the story behind the story?

Tang En didn't know.

After once again rejecting Evan's invitation to stay, Don led the team back to Nottingham to continue their league journey.                                                                                                                 �

For many Forest supporters, this loss made them very sorry.   Because they believed that this was the only chance that Nottingham Forest could return to Europe, the Forest will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to revitalize.    But the team actually lost this game.                                                                                         

After the failure of this game, some slight "disputes" were circulated in the media. They believed that Don En must still think that the FA Cup was an insignificant game, but they did not know that for the current Forest team, the FA Cup was the last straw.

However, as the team's ranking in the league rose, this criticism gradually disappeared. Because they saw Don't want to rely on the FA Cup championship to get a ticket to the European game for the team. The FA Cup is too accidental and has always been called a "hotbed of unpopularity", and Don't want to gamble this. In comparison, the long schedule of the league is more suitable for the Nottingham Forest today.

He decisively gave up the FA Cup. He also gained enough physical fitness for the Forest team to ensure that they would not collapse in the end because of the two-line battles, and the bamboo basket was in vain.

The team also agreed with Don En's strategy. Seeing the rankings rise, they were also full of confidence in this "fire-fighting coach".

Evan Dogerty has not come to Done since that day to talk about the topic of asking him to stay.

Don Evan didn't know if he had given up. He had made up his mind anyway, so he didn't care how others persuaded him.

Just in the home league stands that round, Tang En unexpectedly heard the voices from the fans.

In the Robin Hood stands, fans hung up banners with them saying: "We hope to see you again next season, Tony."

Although this is the only one, he was seen by Don En. He was not worried that this was instructed by Evan Dogerty. The club chairman has a very low status in the minds of fans. Even if he wants the fans to do this, he will not be able to cooperate.

This must be the spontaneous action of the fans.

It's not a secret that he only played for half a season with the Forest. The media reported it at the beginning. But at that time, many people expressed doubts about whether they could lead the Forest out of the predicament again. So even if they only played for half a season, no one felt that something was wrong. They might still think, "Tony Tang En doesn't have confidence. So they chose to sign a contract that only lasted half a season..."

The fans naturally knew that Tang En had only made a promise for half a season. But they always wanted Tang En to stay. From the beginning of the interview, they said so, and now as the end of the season approaches, they simply put this emotion into action and expressed it directly.

So Tang En saw a slogan in the home stands to keep him.

Two days later, in Wilford, Don En saw the slogan again. Don En saw clearly that the person who called the slogan was not John and the others. But another group of people, they should belong to another fan group, and there was no private friendship between Don En and them.

The banner was hung alone outside the barbed wire fence, but attracted a lot of attention. Before leaving, the media took photos of the banner, and the players training on the court would turn their attention to the banner from time to time. Even colleagues in the coaching staff would study the banners in the distance with interest during rest.

"I think if I were a fan, I would do that too..." Freddy Eastwood said as he looked at the banner swaying in the wind in the distance.

His words were approved by most people. Tang En is the isolated minority.

"It seems that none of you want me to leave?"

"You're really interesting to ask, Tony. Who wants you to leave?" David Chris Lack continued.

Tang En looked into his colleagues' eyes. He knew they were not lying. But he had to leave.

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

Everyone knows that Tang En has his reasons, so he didn't continue to discuss this topic.

Tang En raised his head again and looked at the banner in the distance and was fascinated.

During the weekend's game, Nottingham Forest was still at home. This time, Don Eun saw more similar slogans in the stands, all of whom wanted him to stay.

Even the live camera noticed that during the live game, several shots of the banners in the stands were given to the live game.

In this game, Nottingham Forest won the final victory. The ranking continued to rise and reached seventh place.

Such results make fans more and more reluctant to leave.

After the game, fans spontaneously formed a group that persuaded Tang En to stay, the name was "Tony Stay". They quickly established the official website of the organization and called on more fans to join online. They formed a force that could not be ignored to keep Tang En.

Afterwards, slogans to keep Tang En were seen in the training ground and on the court. When facing the voices of fans and the attention of the media, Tang En chose to remain silent.

The reporters hoped that he would express his opinion on this. Tang En refused their questions on the grounds that "I just want to concentrate on the team now."

His not speaking does not mean that the media has nothing to say. What does the media do? They can let dead people speak, let alone a living person.

The next day, such a title appeared in the newspaper - "Tony Don't remained silent to the fans, hesitated."

If you don’t speak, just find a hat and put it on first. The more silent you are, the easier it is to deal with it. Even if it is a dead person, they have a way to make him speak.

really……

"It's not possible to continue like this... Tony." A large number of fans gathered outside the Wilford training ground. They held up portraits of Don Eun and slogans to keep him, with great momentum. They had completely interfered with the normal training order. Looking at these people, assistant coach David Chris Lack helped spread his hands and said to Don Eun.

The players also felt a little at a loss when they looked at these enthusiastic fans. Of course they knew that this was the reason, but they couldn't say that. They could only secretly turn their eyes to Tony Don, with worry written on their faces.

Tang En frowned as he looked at the fans who were gathering more and more. Since a few days ago, there have been more and more fans gathering outside the training ground. They have only one purpose here - to change their decision to leave the team after the season.

But I really didn't expect that it was just a spontaneous organization of activities by fans. It could actually get responses from so many people.

Should I be happy about my charm? Or should I feel a headache about it?

Tang En thought so in his heart.

"You guys continue training, I'll talk to them." Tang En waved his hand. He asked the team to continue training, but he turned around and walked towards the training ground.

Seeing Don En's back as he was gone, Eastwood spread his hands and sighed: "This is the worry of being too popular..."

The fans standing outside the court saw Tang En walking towards them, but instead of making noises loudly, they became quiet, watching Tang En walk to them quietly, looking at them through the barbed wire.

"What should I say, guys..." Tang En shook his head with a wry smile. "I thank you very much for looking down on me so much, but you did interfere with our normal training... I don't want to do any closed training anymore."

"Tony. We just hope you stay." Among them, the obvious leader stood up. Tang En noticed that the T-shirt he was wearing had his own avatar printed on it, and the avatar read "Leave" under it. And there were many people wearing this T-shirt, and it was indeed organized, and even the themed T-shirt was printed...

Although David Chris Lack whistle to continue training, the players on the court seemed a little absent-minded. Some of them would occasionally glance at the area where the fans gathered, and the leader was still talking to them.

"Hey, George. You said the boss will stay?"

Joe Matok took advantage of the group passing practice and asked Wood, who was in his group.

Wood hadn't answered yet, but the teammates next to him all raised their ears and waited for Wood to answer intently. Everyone knows that Wood and Donn are the closest relationship in the team. If you want to say who knows the boss best, then it must be Wood.

After receiving the pass from Matok, Wood did not pass it back immediately, but asked the football to adjust it twice under his feet. He took advantage of this short time to think. When he passed the football back, he shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

A sigh of regret and disappointment immediately sounded around them.

"Why not?" Matok passed the football again. "I think he enjoys work and football. Will he not change his mind at the last moment?"

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

"Intuition?" Matok continued to pass the ball to Wood.

"Well. Intuition." Wood sent it back to Matok.

This time, Matok did not pass the ball to Wood, but instead stepped on the ball and sighed.

"Why is the boss unwilling to do a few more seasons? I think his health is completely fine..."

No one answered his question this time, not even George Wood, and he was turning his head to look outside the training ground. Don Eun was still negotiating with the fans, and the sound from there was much smaller.

"Why don't you persuade him to stay? Are you not the captain?"

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

For this black Italian man, Tony Don conquered him in just a few months. Now he just wants to play for Don Eun. If he changes to other head coaches, he may not obey. Now that he hears that Don Eun will leave, how could he not care?

Wood withdrew his gaze and looked at Balotelli. Wood doesn't hate this person who has always despised his captain's authority, but he doesn't like it either.

"Everyone has his own life." He replied expressionlessly. "I have no right to interfere."

"Okay. Guys. In order to cooperate with the team's training, I hope you can leave and don't do such things again. As for your wishes, I will seriously consider it. Please give me a few days. Then I will hold a special press conference to inform you of the results of my consideration." Tang En said to his loyal fans through the barbed wire.

"Our team is in a very critical period now. Whether we can return to Europe next season depends on how we perform during this period. I don't want them to be disturbed... You see, they are not even thinking about training now." Tang En pointed to the training ground behind him.

Fans can also see the team's performance.                                                                                                                          

They also knew that they had interfered with the team's normal training, but they wanted to keep Tang En. They had to do extraordinary things.

"It's apart, guys. Thank you for your support for me and the team. I will definitely consider your request seriously."

After saying this, Tang En stood on the other end of the barbed wire and looked at the fans opposite him.

Under his gaze, the leader was the first to express his opinion: "Good land, Tony. We don't want to affect the team's training and performance. Thank you for coming here to talk to us, we know you are a busy person."

Then the leader waved his hand and turned around and left the first. The others followed him and left the training ground one after another. Of course, many of them did not forget to look back at Tang En who was standing on the sidelines. Tang En was still standing on the sidelines and watched them leave.

A voice asked in Tang En's heart: Will you really consider their request seriously?
