Chapter 167 Volume 2 The Sky of Nottingham Goal: League Cup (Part 2)
Walker, who was born as a defender, is really good at training defenses. Even people like Eastwood have been trained by him to look like defensive midfielders, let alone George Wood, who is extremely talented in defense.
Even if Walker yelled at his ears, he would not frown or complain, just do what the coach said next time. Tang En likes Wood the most: he is willing to work hard, and he is willing to work hard for the future of himself and his mother. Compared with those "genius boys" who became famous at the age of eighteen, he will not give himself a chance to relax. Twain was also not worried that Wood would lose his way amidst fame and fortune, because his goals on the court and training ground were different from those of the wunderkinds. He seemed to always have a sense of crisis deep in his heart, and that sense of crisis was like a whip whipping him to keep moving forward.
Tang En thought that this might have something to do with the poor life he witnessed and tried his best when he was a child.
Sophia once told him that the house they lived in when they first met was already in the best condition, because Wood could make money. How bad did you live before? Whenever Sophia mentioned it again, Tang En didn't ask. The important thing is that they live well now. The club found a house for Wood to rent near the training base. The landlord is a die-hard Forest team fan. He heard that the new star of the Forest team wanted to live there, and the rent was reduced. in half.
It's not a million-pound mansion in Lace Market, but it's good enough for the Woods. Downstairs, there are no tenants who often come home late at night. There are two floors above and below. The space is spacious, the windows are bright and clean, and there are no children begging for money or men with unfriendly faces. Perfect for Sophia.
The mother's condition is stable, and when she doesn't have to worry about the problem of eating with two mouths for the family, Wood can devote herself to the sport of football. Although Tang En suggested that the Evan Club pay for Sophia's medical treatment, part of it was out of sympathy and concern for this kind and beautiful woman, and the other part was also out of "selfish" considerations. Wood, who had solved his worries, would grow up. What about?
Just like a month and a half ago, he asked himself "what can Wood do in his debut?"
This is so exciting...
As for Walker's future, Dunn never asked him to stay in front of Walker, even when joking, he didn't want to embarrass Walker.
Everyone has their own choice of road. As for whether this road is good or not, and whether the scenery ahead is beautiful, you have to walk to know. So whether it is right for Walker to choose to leave is his own business.
All Dunn can do is to say that when they are still working together, try to leave him with good memories, and in the future, if Walker wants to come back to help him again, he will open the door to welcome him.
The headache for him is - where can I find such an assistant coach who cooperates tacitly? Nowadays, the division of labor in football is very detailed, and the head coach leaves many specific affairs to the assistant coaches. Among the media and the public, they are unknown, but their role in the team is irreplaceable, and there are even players who only obey the assistant coach and not the head coach.
If the assistant coach is found and found correctly, it will be of great help to the head coach, and the team's ability will also be greatly improved. If you don't get it right...it's going to be bad. Therefore, the assistant coaches of many teams often have been in the team longer than the head coach, are more familiar with the team than the head coach, and can help the head coach get familiar with the team faster. They are often cultivated by the team themselves, the real "direct descendants".
This is especially the case with English teams. To give an example, if a team decides to change their head coach, their first choice must be the team's assistant coach, and their second choice is often the youth team head coach. This is why Glenn Lord was able to serve as the head coach of the first team of West Ham and Newcastle twice as the head coach of the youth team. English clubs are especially loyal, and those coaches who have played for the team for many years can gain the trust of fans and senior management, even if their own level is not good enough.
There is another position that embodies this kind of loyalty-the team doctor, professionally called "sports therapist". Even now, there are many English team doctors who are unlucky retired players or stadium turf workers, club goalkeepers, and even loyal friends of the head coach... These people have no professional license at all, and rely entirely on the most superficial common sense to treat injured players. They heal. It is not difficult to explain why many English players have suffered a major injury since the last century. For example, the brother of former Liverpool captain Jamie Redknapp, Mark Redknapp, was once a Bournemouth's star hopeful, as a defender, his future does not look worse than his younger brother. In a reserve game against Cardiff City, Mark was shoveled by his opponent and carried off the field. Because he received treatment from the team doctor, he could only walk with crutches. He later worked as another defender, Rio Ferdinand's agent. And his younger brother, Jamie Redknapp, because he was unwilling to be reduced to his elder brother, paid for his own private doctor to operate on him. Although he successfully returned to the stadium, he had to leave Liverpool because he " Breaking the rules."
English clubs are so faithful to these traditions, rightly or wrongly, from two centuries ago.
Therefore, when a player is injured, the Football Association of England would rather choose to cooperate with the Royal Medical Center of Nottingham University Affiliated Hospital in Nottingham than to find the team doctors of those Premier League clubs... who knows if the "magic sponge" will suggest that a person has a hernia (groin muscle tear) player to go to surgery to remove the pubic bone?
Of course, Twain was able to be directly promoted from the head coach of the youth team to the head coach of the first team, and he was able to quickly establish his reputation among the fans, thanks to this "tradition" - because he was trained by Forest Club himself, It is "our own people".
Walker is also "one of his own", but his departure can be said to be an exception. If it weren't for the team's dissatisfaction, Walker probably wouldn't want to quit. But who knows... He had just decided to leave when he heard the news that Twain was coming back. After being in a dilemma for a while, he still chose to keep his promise and leave the Forest team to help Ian Bow before the end of the season. yeah.
After deciding on the path to take in the future, Walker became more devoted to his work. During training, Dunn didn't speak much anymore, because Walker's voice was louder than him. He knew that it was his goal that inspired all the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of this man.
