One week had already passed since Tang En had gone to look for Storey-Moore and Des Walker. In that period, the youth team played a youth league match in the fourth group. Compared to the previous match, Tang En had given George Wood the chance to play for half the match and his performance remained rather good. In fact, it was even better than the previous match. Kerslake felt that it had to be attributed to Wood's extremely sturdy psychological quality.
"Oh gosh, Tony. This kid doesn't seem to know the meaning of the word 'nervous'!" Kerslake exclaimed.
Tang En laughed out loud and said, "That is because he always played truant during his lessons!"
Of course this was a joke. Tang En did not tell Kerslake that aside from Wood's psychological quality, there was another very important reason for Wood's good performance for two consecutive matches. That it was his mother, Sophia, who had been watching him play from the side of the field.
