"Tony?" Evan asked.
Twain nodded. "That's a good idea. I have no objections." Although he felt that it was a waste of his talent, his words in the youth team could indeed shut many people's mouths. There were a few young coaches in Nottingham Forest's youth team, and it was not unusual for them to be in their twenties.
"That would be good for everyone …" Evan still thought that Twain was putting in so much effort to find a job for his friend in the club. Since the Chinese man had to be a coach, then it would be best to arrange for him to be the least important youth team coach.
The matter was settled. Dunn entered the Nottingham Forest youth team coaching team in a low-key manner. Following that, the club announced a personnel change. The youth team director, David Kerslake, was transferred to the First Team to serve as manager Tony Twain's assistant. Ian Greenwood, who had originally assisted David Kerslake in the youth team, was promoted to the youth team manager, in charge of everything in Nottingham Forest's youth department.
After handing over these matters, Twain was about to leave with Dunn, but Evan made him stay.
Twain could only ask Dunn to wait for him outside.
Closing the door, Evan whispered to Tony, "Tony, tell me what you're thinking … If he's your Chinese teacher's friend or younger brother, do you plan to get on the good side of that beautiful Chinese girl?"
Hearing Evan say this and seeing his smirk, Twain sighed in his heart. "He does have some relationship with my Chinese teacher, but it has nothing to do with this … Evan, have you ever doubted my judgment?"
Evan Doughty shook his head. "That's good. If Nottingham Forest can make it to the Champions League finals in the future, then the person sitting next to me will definitely be Dunn. "He pointed to the door, then bid farewell to Evan and walked out.

When Dunn and Twain stood at the youth team's training base that had yet to open, breathing the once familiar air, he felt the same as a year and a half ago. The last time he was here, he stayed for seven years. How long would it take this time?
"It won't take too long," Twain suddenly said beside him.
Dunn looked at him, and he looked back at Dunn, then shrugged. "I know what you're thinking. Don't forget what our relationship is. Don't you feel disappointed, Dunn? "
"Hmm?"
"I was the one who wanted you to come here to be an assistant manager for the First Team, but now you have to start as a youth team manager. Did you tell Mom and Dad that you're leaving your job in China? "
"I told them the company was sending me overseas," Dunn replied. "Three years."
"Three years … is enough. Let's go back. From tomorrow onwards, everyone will be busy. The new season is coming! "Twain waved his hand, then turned around and left.
Dunn took a look at the familiar training ground and followed behind Tang En.
The next day, the Nottingham Forest Football Club announced the change in the team's coaching personnel on its official website, allowing the Forest fans to be concerned about the selection of the assistant manager. No one doubted or expressed dissatisfaction with David Kerslake's appointment. Because, like Tony Twain, David Kerslake was also a direct descendant of the Forest team and was one of their own.
Tang En knew that it was almost impossible for him to challenge this tradition. He was only one person, and in front of him was more than 140 years of thick history.
Although it was not Tang En's original intention to let Dunn go to the Youth Team to be a normal coach, at least he stayed. When he received his professional coaching certificate at the end of August, things would be easier.
The coaching team had been decided, and Forest's preparation for the new season could be fully carried out.
The players returned to the team on time after their vacation.
On the morning of the first day of training, Tang En looked at the spirited players standing in front of him and was full of anticipation for the future.
"The sun is strong, and everyone's skin is tanned. How was your vacation? "he asked with a smile.
"Excellent!"
"Where did you go?"
"Paris!"
"Hawaii!"
Everyone rushed to report their vacation destination.
Tang En saw Crouch and suddenly asked, "Peter, how did your romantic trip to Spain go?"
Crouch's face immediately turned red.
"Looks like it went well."
The players roared with laughter.
Amidst the laughter, the red-faced Crouch also chuckled. It looked like Tang En was right.
When the laughter subsided, Tang En pointed to David Kerslake beside him and said, "This is your new assistant manager, Mr. David Kerslake. He's the head of the youth team and now manages the First Team with me. He's in charge of the specific training matters. If you have any questions during training, you can raise them to him at any time. "
Kerslake waved to everyone, and the players applauded him in return.
Then he called out the first two players to be dealt with during the summer transfer period from the back — Gerard Piqué and Nicklas Bendtner.
"These are your new teammates, the Spanish lad Gerard Piqué, the center back from Barcelona's youth team. And … Nicklas Bendtner, the center forward from Denmark's KB team. "
"Hello, everyone." The two greeted their teammates in not very fluent English. Piqué was a little shy, while Bendtner seemed to be very familiar with them.
Tang En patted them on the shoulder and motioned for them to stand with their teammates. These two new teammates were quickly welcomed by the other team members. During last season's winter transfer period, Tang En brought in almost all young players. The Forest players were used to having two seventeen or eighteen-year-old youngsters. Besides, almost half of the players in the team were in their early twenties. Everyone's temperament was similar, and they had the same hobbies, so it was easier to get along.
Seeing that Piqué and Bendtner were quickly accepted by the players, Tang En was relieved. He clapped his hands, reminding everyone to put their attention on him. "I believe that after a break during the holidays, you've all made sufficient preparations. Whether it's your bodies or your minds, you must be very eager to compete now, right?"
"Yes! Boss! "
"That's right, Boss!"
The teammates beside him answered Tang En's questions excitedly. The newly joined Piqué and Bendtner still did not quite understand — the relationship between the coach and the players seemed to be different from the simple relationship between the coach and the players.
"It's great to see you all so energetic. We're going to compete in the English Premier League this season. Guys, you know what the English Premier League is, right? That's England's top league. We'll be facing many stronger opponents than we've faced before. There's also the UEFA Europa League. The participants are all strong teams from various European leagues, the champions of the UEFA Europa League! How about it … Are you all scared now? "
"No!"
"The ones who should be scared are them! Not us! "
Piqué and Bendtner turned their heads to look in surprise at the cheering teammates around them. Nottingham Forest was just a newly promoted team. What made them so confident? Analyzing it with common sense, the two rookies could not figure it out.
"Every season in the English Premier League, it's the same few teams fighting for the title: Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool … I bet the audience must be tired of it. Now, let us be the troublemakers. Let them go from looking down on us to being afraid of us! We want the audience to give their applause and cheers to us, and not to anyone else! "
Tang En waved his hands forcefully.
"This season, we'll give them a big surprise!"
