At that time, the immediate trigger was a 1: 1 draw with Fulham. The points gap with Chelsea and Arsenal had not narrowed. As a result, the scorer, Alan Smith, accused Ronaldo's playing style in the locker room of being too independent and not knowing how to cooperate with his teammates. The two men's quarrel developed into a fight. Following that, Ferguson announced that Ronaldo needed to return to his hometown in Portugal to rest for a while because he was not in good form.
Thinking of this, a smirk appeared on Tang En's face. Who knew if the real trigger was Nottingham Forest's 2: 2 draw with Manchester United?
How much of the experience he was familiar with had been changed by his own hands, and how much more would he change?
Because Ferguson had inadvertently diverted the media's attention in the post-match press conference, Ronaldo became the focus of everyone's discussion. Tang En was instead liberated. He was also happy to watch the show from the sidelines, and then he wondered if Ronaldo would return to Portugal earlier than he knew.
Having completely understood his own situation, Tang En now felt that it was very interesting to compare what he was currently experiencing with the period of history in his memory.

The next day, a large photo of Ronaldo being substituted off the field with a black face appeared in The Sun. Everyone was discussing Manchester United's internal problems, but they ignored Nottingham Forest.
More and more juicy news was dug out by these reporters who were born to be rats. Manchester United's internal department had been tolerating the Portuguese kid for a long time; van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo were not on good terms; Gary Neville criticized Ronaldo for not thinking about his teammates when he played … and so on.
These days, the British tabloids were bustling like they were celebrating a festival.
On the other hand, the local media in Nottingham did not care about the feud between Ronaldo and Manchester United. Their focus was on the Forest team and George Wood. "Genius", "Child prodigy", "Phenomenon" … All sorts of titles were given to him.
Originally, a guy like Wood had a very limited number of fans. Even Fat John and his group had almost no female fans.
As a result, on the first day that the Forest team returned to Nottingham and restarted training, Tang En saw several young female fans outside the training ground holding up photos of Wood, hoping for their idol's autograph.
These girls were young and full of youthful vigor. As long as Wood approached this side of the barbed wire fence, they would loudly call out his name.
As a result, this caused the team to whistle non-stop during training. After spending so much time with Wood, everyone no longer felt so unfamiliar with him. They all knew that although this kid didn't look very friendly, his character was still good. He wouldn't get angry even if they occasionally made harmless jokes like this.
"George, you even have a female fan!" Wes Morgan was probably the one who could talk to Wood the most because they were both from Nottingham Forest's youth team and they had worked together before. Taking advantage of the break between training sessions, the players sat together and joked about Wood.
"Are you jealous, Wes?" Ribéry asked.
"How is this possible? I already have a girlfriend … "Wes' retort made everyone laugh.
In the video room, Tang En and Kerslake finished analyzing the training from earlier. Due to the remarkable results of the video recording method that Dunn had implemented in the Youth Team, it had also been brought to the First Team by Tang En. The results were just as good. Looking at the players sitting together and chatting, Tang En and Kerslake looked at each other and smiled.
The atmosphere in the team was good. Even if there were ups and downs in the results, he had nothing to worry about as a bishop.
He walked over and stood outside the crowd, saying to Wood, "Hey, George. Aren't you going to give those beautiful girls your autographs? Can you bear to disappoint them? "
Hearing this, the players did not need to turn their heads to know that their "boss" had arrived.
"I …" Wood had never dealt with female fans before, much less such enthusiastic female fans. They waved at him from afar and screamed when they saw him looking over.
"What are you hesitating about? George, you're a star now. You can't do anything to disappoint the fans! "Tang En was egging Wood on." Go give them your autographs! This is part of the training! "
Wood turned his head to look at Tang En, who had a serious expression on his face. He got up from the ground and walked towards the few elated female fans. He did not look like he was going to give the fans his autographs. Instead, he looked like he was going to die.
Hence, some people laughed.
Tang En nodded and commented from behind, "Don't laugh, guys. I think those female fans will like him more. These days, ignorant girls like cool, handsome guys! "
The laughter grew louder.
Sure enough, as Tang En expected, Wood signed the girls' autographs with a straight face and satisfied their request for a group photo. In the end, not only did he not make them unhappy, but he also gained an even crazier pursuit.
After this battle, George Wood truly became famous. Tang En knew that such a scene would be indispensable in the future. For Wood, this might be a good opportunity to gradually change his character. Of course, he still had to push him from behind from time to time.
F * ck, Wood, are you born in the year of toothpaste? Nothing can be done without squeezing!

In the following league match, on the 4th of December, Nottingham Forest defeated Portsmouth in an away game with a score of 3: 2. The Forest team's defense became the focus of attention. Because they could not even move when facing Portsmouth, they could concede two goals. Tang En sat in the technical area and watched the match thrillingly.
The Forest team started off smoothly and quickly led by a goal. However, the defensive line's own mistakes gave the opponent a chance, and they tied the game. Following that, Portsmouth pressed on and won again. If Tang En had not adjusted his tactics in time during the halftime interval, they would probably have lost the game.
In the end, after turning defeat into victory and completing a great reversal, Tang En was not as excited as he was at Old Trafford.
On the 11th of December, Round 17 of the league tournament. Nottingham Forest lost 1: 2 to Charlton Athletic on their own home ground in a situation where the analysts were unanimously optimistic before the game.
Fortunately, on the 15th, in the final game of the UEFA Europa League group stage, the Forest team defeated Partizan Belgrade 3: 0 at home and successfully advanced from the group stage. It gave them a buffer.
However, having just obtained good news in the European competition, the Forest team lost to Birmingham City in an away game, 0: 2.
Tang En knew it was time to make a change.
