Volume 5 Red Chapter 29 It's Just a Joke

When the Forest players saw Frank in the dressing room. When Ribery was in awe, he was amazed.

"Hey, Frank, are you ready to change your clothes?" Eastwood asked curiously.

Ribery raised the cane in his hand: "Of course not. ”

"And what are you doing here?"

"It's just boring, let's come and see everyone."

Everyone said "oh" and went about their jobs again, except Eastwood who accompanied Ribery to say a few words once in a while. Everyone else is silent and doing their own thing. After yesterday's clashes, everyone's mood was not good, and the atmosphere in the dressing room was even more dreary.

Donn's lecture didn't seem to have any effect?

The players gradually arrived, but the atmosphere in the locker room was not lively because there were more people, on the contrary, the more people there were, the more silent everyone became, as if they didn't want others to see their thoughts at this moment.

Ribery frowned, he didn't want this to last. He loves this team because it is this team that has given him a new lease of life, and he doesn't want this happy team to sink like this, so he has to find a way......

He coughed twice, then nodded the ground with his cane, making a noise that caught the attention of the others.

I said...... Guys, do you want to have some fun? He laughs.

Before going to the training base, Don stood at the door of his residence and waited for Don to come out.

The door he was staring at was closed, and he knew that Shania and Don must still be saying goodbye inside. Ah, maybe the supermodel Shania is putting Donn in a coat, just like a real wife would do. He had always found the relationship between these two people interesting, quite interesting......

"I'm leaving." The door opened, and Donn's voice rang out.

"Hmm. Goodbye, Uncle Tony. The voice of the little girl Shania followed. Come back for dinner at noon! ”

Then Donn's figure appeared in the doorway.

When Don walked up, Don asked, "How does it feel to have someone waiting to come home for dinner?" ”

Don raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to come and eat together?" ”

Tang hurriedly waved his hand: "I solved the ...... in the club restaurant"

The two walked together towards the Wilford training base. On the way, as soon as he remembered the current situation of the team, Don frowned again. He knew that once there was a fight within the team, there would be a crack in the team, and with such a crack it would not heal, it would always be there. Nottingham Forest is no longer an impregnable bunker on the outside and on the inside. How to deal with all kinds of things after the fight is what gives Don a headache.

People who didn't participate in the fight inevitably didn't have the same thoughts as Zim Bonda and Bendtner at the time, but they just lacked a reasonable excuse to vent out. And then reprimand yourself together, will it make the depressing atmosphere in the team even more depressing? This morning's training will start fifteen minutes, but there will be a lot of reporters to shoot the interview, if they see any bad signs, will they make a big deal of it in the media? Will the team's results be affected by this?

These questions swirled in Donn's mind, and the joy he had just had at home was gone.

The twenty-minute journey was quickly over, and Tang En saw a lot of media at the training base, who came here to interview and shoot as they did yesterday, hoping to get some "internal information" by the way. Fortunately, yesterday's clash took place at the end of the training session and the media were all gone, otherwise the number of journalists who came here today would have more than doubled as before. That's when he gets even more headaches......

Now, it's okay.

"Good morning, Mr. Donn!" Pierce. Bruce waved to Donne, but Don walked over as if he hadn't seen it.

Only Don was behind to help him wipe his butt: "Good morning, Mr. Bruce." ”

"Mr. Donn's ...... Not looking good? The observant Bruce asked, confused.

Tang just smiled: "I didn't wake up." ”

This excuse is really bad, it's half past nine now, and I haven't woken up yet...... Don rarely sleeps.

Bruce was keenly aware of something, but he looked at the reporters from the other media around him and said nothing.

Other familiar reporters greeted Donn, who also ignored them and walked in. However, everyone has long been accustomed to Donne's perverse surname, so it's not strange to see it. After all, now that the Forest team is winless in a row, it is understandable that as a head coach, the pressure is high, and the mood is almost high.

Don followed, and the two approached the manager's office, where they saw Chris Lak, who was already waiting there.

"Tony, do you need to adjust your training plan today?"

Don shook his head and leaned over to turn on the computer: "The plan was set a few days ago, and there is no need to adjust it." Why did you think to ask such a stupid question, David? ”

"Uh...... I just don't think the atmosphere in the team has been good these days......" Krislak stammered.

"That's a psychological problem. You just take care of the training and I'll take care of the mental problems of the players. ”

Chris Rac nodded, "You're right, Tony. But I think first you have to make yourself mentally normal. With that, he handed over a mirror.

Don in the mirror still has a straight face, no different from yesterday and the day before yesterday.

Chrislak didn't shake the mirror away for a moment, and Don kept staring at himself in the mirror.

"Tony, we all think you're the centerpiece of this team. So if you can't get up on your own, then the team can't get right. Chrislak said.

Don took the mirror from his hand, "Thank you for the mirror, David. ”

"Then I'll go about my business." Saying goodbye to the two, Chrislak walked out.

Don looked at Don, then at the door, and then got up too: "I'm going to get busy too." ”

Don didn't hold back, he nodded.

Turning on the computer and bringing up today's training plan document, Don glanced at it and took a rough look. Then I went to the Internet and briefly browsed the sports news, and found no reports of yesterday's fights within the team. It seemed that no one had spread the news, and he was relieved.

After doing this, he got up and went to the training ground, ready to start the morning's work.

※※※

The media, who had been around the gate just a moment ago, have now poured in and set up machines outside the training ground to film. Then a sharp-eyed reporter found a question - Nottingham Forest has started training, so why didn't Zim Bonda and Bendtner be seen?

Someone told the people around him about this discovery, and the topic was quickly discussed in the group of reporters. Tony. Tang En's army has always been strict, if they are late...... So that's too long, isn't it? Neither Zim Bonda nor Bendtner are at the core of the team right now, and if they dare to be so late for training for so long, don't they want to continue playing under Donn?

And what is even more strange is that Donne, who is strict with the team's discipline, has no happiness on his face, as if he doesn't care that there are two people who are late. There are not many people in the first team of Forest, just a few faces, they are already familiar, and there is no reason for him to ignore two people.

It's weird. Is there something going on that we don't know about?

Just then, Chris Rac came over to inform the media that their filming time was over.

A group of media gathered their equipment and retreated. Now is not the time to ask more questions, anyway, there will be a regular press conference after training in the afternoon, when the team's head coach Tony. Donn will definitely be there, and he'll be followed by a player, probably captain George. Wood, who could be vice-captain Edwin van der Sar, could be the most popular Beckham, or he could be just a normal player. They will answer questions from reporters about some of the recent events in the team. According to the different surnames of each player present, some of them were very satisfied with what they said, some were cautious and reluctant to talk more, and some simply refused to cooperate, which made the reporters very dissatisfied.

Now the reporters have their own plans in mind, and they will take advantage of this half-day to find out where the missing Zim Bonda and Bendtner have gone, and then wait until the afternoon press conference to deal with Tony. Donn launched a concentrated bombardment.

※※※

After the reporters left, the training ground was quieter all of a sudden, and there was no sound other than the shouts of the players themselves and the whistles of the coaches.

Don is still wearing sunglasses and watching from the side, and the specific subjects of training are in charge of special coaches, and the two assistant coaches are responsible for coordination, basically nothing for him.

The team's training was no different than usual, with Don focusing on the mood of the players. He wanted to see how much that incident yesterday had affected the team. The players didn't have any big expressions on their faces, they looked like they were all focused on training, and it wasn't time to rest yet, so I couldn't tell what the mood was like on a regular basis.

He looked down at his watch, he had been training for half an hour.

"David." He screamed.

Chris Rac looked back at him.

"Let them rest." Donn said, pointing to the players on the field.

Chris Rak nodded, then blew the whistle in his mouth: "Fifteen minutes off!" ”

The players gasped and walked off the field, slowly gathering together to rest in one corner. It's the same as usual. The players are always together, and the coaches are in their own group, without interfering with each other. The players have topics that the players are interested in, and the coaches have chats with the coaches.

Don looked at it for a while, and felt that it was exactly the same as usual. As the head coach, it was not convenient for him to walk over and listen to what these people were talking about. So I gave up the idea of continuing to observe, and planned to chat with everyone to soothe my emotions. David. Chris Rac is right, don't always keep a straight face and reject people.

Be harmonious, be loving.

"Hey, he turned around...... Here's your chance! Eastwood said to the people around him as he looked at Don who had turned around.

"This ...... Not quite right? Are we really going to do that? Van Nistelrooy frowned, "The boss has been in a bad mood lately, in case you him off......"

"What are you afraid of! Usually the boss always shouts at us, don't you want to take the opportunity to take revenge! 'Eastwood is agitating the rest of his team-mates.' Besides...... If the boss gets angry and puts the blame on Frank, this is what he said, anyway, the idea is his, the boss will never deal with a lame person, right? ”

Eastwood said this, and everyone pinched their chins and looked up at the sky, lost in thought.

Finally, someone slapped his palm: "It's done!" "It was Petrov who spoke." Shall we put some more ice cubes? Not only did he agree to do it, he added.

This suggestion got a lot of people excited.

Eastwood shivered: "Hey...... Wouldn't it be too much......"

A group of people turned around and glared at him: "Don't you want to take the opportunity to take revenge!" ”

Eastwood raised his hands, he was defeated.

Then everyone looked at George, who had been sitting on the sidelines and had been silent. Wood. They didn't say anything, but their intentions were already evident in a pair of eyes.

Wood looked at the group and said, "I'll carry him up." ”

Everyone laughed.

"That's it. But we have to find the person who most trusts and is least likely to frame him to lure him out. Eastwood nodded, and as soon as he said this, everyone invariably set their eyes on Beckham.

David Beckham raised his hands: "Okay, I know what I'm going to do." But I always think it's dangerous to pick this time to tease the leader......"

Eastwood looked excited: "We don't do anything without risk, how boring is that, isn't it, guys!" ”

His words were unanimously agreed. So Beckham, carrying everyone's expectations, stood up, patted his ass and walked towards Donn.

※※※

He had just turned around and was about to walk towards the coaches when he heard someone behind him shouting to him: "Boss, boss!" ”

It's David Beckham.

"Ah, David...... Even though I asked you to call it that, it's still a little awkward every time I hear it......" Donn asked back. "What's the matter?"

"Hmm...... Belch. Beckham glanced back at his teammates, but everyone was resting as if they hadn't seen him.

Don followed his gaze and didn't see anything unusual.

"What's wrong, David?"

"Uh...... Someone is looking for you. Beckham made up a random reason.

"Who?" Don wondered why I didn't just come here.

"Frank." Beckham's name flashed through Ribery's mind and he said it casually. Anyway, this plan is what he came up with, so let's use him as a reason. "Uh, he's not very easy to walk, let you go out to meet him, he's in the parking lot."

And for good reason.

Don nodded, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

David Beckham completed his mission and watched Donn walk out of the training pitch before turning back to the players. He found George. Wood and Eastwood are gone.

"David, Freddie said that when you come back, let's all go to see a good show together."

A group of people glanced at the coaches who were resting

※※※

When Don walked out of the training ground, there were not many people in the huge training base, and most of the training ground was empty. When the media are not here, they seem deserted. He walked alone through the training ground, the office building, and came to the parking lot next to the indoor training hall.

The car park was equally quiet, full of players and staff's private cars, and Donn smiled when he saw Ribery's red Citroen inside. This kid is not honest when he is injured, and he comes to the training base all day long. The most normal mood of all people may be him.

But......

Didn't he have something to do with me? What about people?

Don stood in front of Ribery's car, and he leaned over to look in and found no one in the car. He got up again and looked around, but there was still no one. The entire parking lot was full of cars, and there wasn't a single vacant space, but there was just no one.

If Ribery wanted to play hide and seek with him, this would be the right place. But...... Why would he play such a childish game with himself?

The parking lot is next to the indoor training hall, and Ribery's car is parked right under the wall. Donn stood next to the red Citroen, looking around. "Frank!" He screamed, expecting Ribery, who didn't know where to go, to hear.

"I'm here, Chief!" His expectation was fulfilled, and a voice came from above his head...... Above the head?

Don looked up in surprise.

The indoor gymnasium has a second-floor terrace for stacking some sundries. Don looked up and saw the familiar scarred face, and he smiled heartily.

“oooo——”

A bucket of cold water fell from the sky, drenching Don unsuspectingly.

"Whoa—"

Don stood there stupidly for a few seconds before he could react, and when he looked up again, he saw Ribery's scarred face with an extraordinarily exaggerated smile. He was about to get angry when he suddenly saw George, who was poking his head out and looking down. Wood ......
