Tony Twain's team had a fantastic start in the new season. Champions League Qualifiers Round 1: Win! English Premier League Round 1: Win!
More than the results, what made Tang En happy were the conditions of the players. Naturally, there were also players for him to crack his head over, such as Anelka.
The better Anelka's performance was, the worse Tang En's headache became. This player, who was originally unincluded in his plans, was substituted twice in a row and scored each time. Such a performance made it incredibly hard to argue against letting him play as a starter.
But letting him play as a starter? Tang En was worried that Anelka would become overbearing.
Either way, it seemed problematic.
