What made the media very disappointed was that Millwall did not make the response they hoped. Millwall's chairman and head coach kept silent about this matter. Maybe they knew they were in a disadvantage... But the media were very unhappy. What did they get after spending so much effort? It was just that an unknown head coach was popular!

Sometimes the media calm down and think about it, and they feel that they seem to be used by Tony Don...

Because who is the only one who has benefited in this matter? It is the big-mouthed Don. He not only led the team to sweep Millwall 7:1 at Newden Stadium and advanced to the League Cup semi-finals, but also successfully increased his popularity. The report on Pierce Bruce on the subway made Don't have a high popularity among the fans. Now almost all of the UK know that Nottingham Forest has a head coach who dared to confront football hooligans in order to protect the team, and those dangerous football hooligans were unexpectedly honest in front of Don't.

His only punishment was to receive a bill to compensate him for the broken plastic baffle next to the visiting seat of the Newden Stadium.

After the investigation, the FA believed that coach Don had no extreme behavior. As for the battle of words between Forest and Millwall, it was a personal grudge between the two clubs, and the FA would not intervene. Otherwise... Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, Manchester United and Bolton, Manchester City and Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton, West Ham and Millwall, Nottingham Forest and Nordsshire, Manchester United and Arsenal... If the FA had to take care of all the grudges between these clubs, they would not have thought about doing other things within a year.

The investigation report is quite unfavorable to Millwall's home fans. They believe that Millwall Club did not stop the fans' excessive behavior in time, which led to the fan riots in the stands. At the same time, after the incident, the chairman of Millwall Club's shirked responsibility and disappointed the FA. In view of the repeated troubles caused by Millwall fans in history, the FA fined Millwall Club for 15,000 pounds. And ordered Millwall Club to improve the home atmosphere, strengthen supervision of fans, and strictly prohibit similar fan riots from happening again.

Fortunately, no one died in this riot. If someone died, the punishment would definitely not be fined just a few dollars. London is preparing to bid for the right to host the 2012 Olympics, and a slight negative impact may cause immeasurable consequences. From this background, the FA has been quite light on its attacks...

Due to the influence of the League Cup schedule and Christmas, the 24th round of the League One League was postponed to February 27, 2004. So the Forest had nine days to prepare for the next league round after the League Cup, which gave Don En valuable time. Just like when he first took over the Forest first team, after playing the FA Cup, he also had fourteen days of training time.

Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it was a fateful arrangement. These two long-term preparations gave Tang En time to get familiar with the team and time to breathe a sigh of relief.

The media's hype did not affect the team's training because Don Eun conducted closed training and did not allow any media to get close to the training base.

Rebrov was basically fixed in the midfield by him. It seems that Don En played 451 and a single striker. But it is not that simple in fact. When watching the game, Don En held this view: formation is no longer the most important part of football. When talking about tactics, he first talked about the era of formation, and the era of sweeping the world football world for thousands of years has long passed. Submit it to the TV broadcaster before the game, and then the formation diagram on the screen has no meaning to the team. A real coach should make appropriate adjustments at any time according to the game situation, and formation is just a reference.

It seems that Nottingham Forest has abandoned last season and played 442 instead of 451, but it really takes a game. Sometimes the formation is still 442, but there are changes in some local areas. For example, Rebrov is still a forward, but his position is a hidden second forward. This not only avoids letting Rebrov fall into the opponent's siege, but also effectively plays his good skills and good at dribbling and passing balls. The threat of inserting in the back row is even greater.

A seemingly simple adjustment in position. But Rebrov scored goals in two consecutive games. Sometimes an excellent coach is like this. Very ordinary changes create great results. Don’t imagine football tactics so complicated. If it is too complicated, the coach will be dizzy first. Therefore, smart people often simplify things that seem very complicated.

For example, Brian Crowe is very good at doing this. He once said to Roy Keane, who made his debut in the Forest team: "Young man, don't think so much. You go up and pass the ball to someone in red (the traditional color of Nottingham Forest), and then run forward, it's that simple."

Roy Keane always kept this sentence in mind throughout his career. He faithfully implemented the tactical command given to him by the old man. He played from Notting Woodlands all the way to the Irish national team and the Red Devils Manchester United. He became the captain of the Irishland and the leader of Manchester United.

Keanedi football is that simple, he succeeded.

Tang En also hopes that his players will understand tactics more simply, and thinking too much on the court will backfire. For example, his request to Taylor is to compete for the first point, then either shoot or pass the ball, and don’t think too much about other things.

The request for Rebrov is to follow Taylor near him and pay attention to the second point, whether to pass or shoot after catching the ball, or pass by him, is up to him to judge.

The head coach cannot play football on behalf of the player, so it is impossible to explain every move of the player clearly. More importantly, the players need to understand it themselves.

This is why we say: first-class players play football with their brains, second-class players play football with their bodies, third-class players... can't play football.

Solskjaer is called a "super substitute" because he can always contribute the most important role to the team in his limited playing time. Ferguson praised him as a player who "can read games off the court and has super high comprehension ability." You should know that substitutes are often more difficult than starting players, because they are usually not given much time, and it is impossible to spend dozens of minutes to enter the rhythm of the game. When they need to play on the court, they must be effective quickly, so they are required to enter the game as quickly as possible and understand the situation on the court immediately... These are basically impossible tasks if people who don't know how to play with their brains. Therefore, why are there so many substitutes and few people called "super substitutes".

In addition to the team's tactical exercises and the adaptation of players' new positions, Tang En also has a task.

When the league reopened, it was already after Christmas, and he had to start considering the choice to replace Dawson and Reed from now on. No one in the Forest team except Reed could play as the left midfielder. Don En found that he was really lucky. Reed had not suffered any injuries in this year and participated in all games. Then he had to search for the left forwards everywhere. The net worth should not be too high, and his ability should not be bad. Don En looked down on him because he didn't want to buy players for the Super League. He had a bigger goal waiting for him in advance.

For Donn, there is good news. Leeds United's performance continues to decline, and the stock price has fallen again and again. The team is now in panic. Around Elland Road Stadium (Leeds United's home elland_road), rumors spread that "Once the team finally falls into Class A, the club will declare bankruptcy and all players will be listed for sale."

Tang En knew in his heart that this was not a rumor. His opportunity came. So he once again "in his personal capacity" to invite old scouts, Mr. Ian Sturay Moore, to Leeds, to go to Leeds, focusing on lobbying for not yet signing a professional contract with Leeds United. Aaron_lennon of the youth team, hoped that he would switch to Nottingham Forest. Tang En's opinion to Mor was "must convince Lennon. If he couldn't convince himself, he would also convince his parents and family.

If necessary, buy it with money. In short, he cannot sign a contract with Leeds United. Tell him the current situation of Leeds United, let him seriously consider his professional future, and promise him that Forest will definitely be promoted to the Super League this season. If the final promise is not fulfilled, Forest voluntarily waives his ownership and he can go to any team he is willing to go to. This condition can be written into the contract. If Forest does not comply, Lennon can sue the club and Don himself."

Of course, if Lennon's whole family is a staunch Leeds fan and is loyal to the club, the team also attaches great importance to Lennon and prepares a generous contract for him, resulting in the unsuccessful purchase. Don't have a backup plan, but it just needs to spend more money. He believes that in Leeds United, which is deeply in the financial crisis and on the verge of bankruptcy, no one can't buy it. The 8 million pounds earned by selling Dawson and Reed makes Don't have the right to look forward to the players who can only see and not touch before.

In fact, in terms of offensive players, there are a long list of names on the shortlist of Don't have. Today's football team has far more offensive talents than defensive talents. Even if Reed leaves, it will not have much impact on the team. The biggest influence is actually the departure of the team captain Michael Dawson.

Don N always believes that Tottenham Hotspur is willing to pay 8 million pounds mainly to buy Dawson, and Reed is just a "give-up" or half-sell half-get-out. Because there are too few excellent defenders now.
