"Think about it from the moment you stood in front of my home and told me, 'I think you should sign on the best player in all of England' to now. You have become Forest team's main player and played in all the matches of the season. What changes have occurred in you? You've become stronger – countless times – stronger than the silly lad you were then. It's been two years. Time passes quickly, but your improvement is even quicker. If you can't accept losing like this to Riquelme, being completely at his mercy, don't just sit here and stew. You need to work even harder. If you want to attain victory over your opponents, you need to work hundreds of times harder, even more than usual! Do you understand me?"
Wood nodded and said, "I understand."
