Chapter 111 The curtain of the Premier League (Part 1)

When time passed July and August, Nottingham Forest quietly withdrew from transfers frequently. When the media were still guessing who Tony Don't have the next target, the Forest had already integrated the team and fixed the lineup. All of this next time will be spent preparing for the opponents in the new season.

For this reason, in addition to his usual training, he did not go to the bar to drink every night. Instead, he watched videos of all their opponents in the Premier League game with Tang Wu at home, and studied the summer transfer information of all nineteen Premier League teams except the Forest team itself, and learned whether these opponents have been strengthened or weakened.

Tang En's perception of being ahead of the world for three years played an important role at this time. Everyone actually couldn't see through the transfer this summer - they didn't know whether someone bought by a certain team deserved his value, whether an unknown boy would perform beyond people's expectations, and they didn't know which characters were worth it after a season and who became untrue parallels.

But Tang En knew that he knew who bought the right one after a season and who lost money.

When discussing the Premier League with Tang, he would also mention some people's names, but he would not say it too clearly - he was afraid of arousing Tang's suspicion. After all, he came from the future, and Tang was just possessed in parallel.

Even if they have the same experience, they can have an extraordinary tacit understanding. But there will still be secrets that belong only to each other. Tang En will not tell Tang, and I am afraid Tang will not want Tang En to know.

If we look at the score, the new Forest team that Tony Donn spent more than 12 million pounds was obviously not satisfactory.

The results of the five warm-up matches were two draws and two losses. The biggest problem exposed was not the lack of coordination and lack of ideal physical strength recovery... and other conventional problems, but he found that the team did not have many ways to switch from defense to offense, and lacked the most efficient means when attacking. Albertini is the core of the Forest's midfield, but he has not yet fully adapted to the style of English football - summarizing this style in one word is "fast". The offense is fast, the defense is fast, the defense is fast, and the attack is fast, and the attack is fast. It is also difficult for Albertini, who is used to Italian football.

But Don En gave him full trust, even if it was obvious that his performance was not good, the team lost. He would not criticize the Italian veteran at the post-match press conference. If the reporters insisted on this issue, he would be stern and say that Albertini was still in the running-in period with the team, and it was normal for him to be unstable and unsatisfactory.

He did not doubt Albertini's ability and professional ethics. The only problem was adapting to football style, which took time. And he believed that at Albertini's age, there was no need for the head coach to spur anything. The players themselves wanted to prove themselves more urgently than anyone else.

As a veteran, Yero did a good job in defense. However, due to his age, he has completely abandoned his offensive ability and focused on defense.

In the warm-up match that only joined the team this summer, perhaps the most satisfying one is Australian striker Viduka. After all, whether it is adapting to the Premier League or its experience, age, and technical characteristics, they are very good at playing with the Forest. Compared with the 2002-03 season, Viduka's performance in the last season at Leeds United has slightly declined because of the impact of the club crisis - to be honest, there were not many players who were still interested in playing football at that time - despite this. He played 30 times in the league and scored eleven goals.

Viduca scored three goals in five warm-up matches, the team scored the most goals in the warm-up matches.                                                                                                                �

Nicklas Bentner and Pitt Crouch will be substitutes on the front line. If necessary, Donne will consider rotating. In addition, if he cannot start the game, he will replace Crouch with very distinctive technical characteristics, and Bentner, who has excellent heading, is also a good choice. After all, Premier League opponents are more familiar with Viduka and are the most unfamiliar with Bentner.

The biggest advantage of the Forest team is not that they are young, but that they are too unfamiliar to their Premier League opponents. Half of the team are rookies, while others are people who have never played in the Premier League. They need to adapt to the Premier League, and Premier League teams also need to be familiar with them.

The Premier League will be held in four rounds in August. The schedule of Forests is that the opponent is weak at the beginning. The more you go, the harder it will be. In the first round, Forests will challenge Blackburn away. In the second round. Back to home to face Aston Villa, the opponent's strength has begun to improve. In the third round, the real tough battle - facing defending champion Arsenal at home! In the fourth round, challenge Everton away.

In fact, the "weak" mentioned above is relative. Tang En looked at it and didn't think that any of these four opponents was "weak". After entering the Premier League, for the Forests, any opponent can be better than them. Gone are the days when teams in the middle and lower levels of the English League One rankings play casually...

On August 8, Donn announced that the team had a day off, and then he pulled David Chris Lack to Cardiff, the capital of Wales, and watched a game at the Millennium Stadium, the lucky Millennium Stadium - the English Community Shield Cup in the 2004-05 season. He is not a fan of the participating parties, he is to observe and understand the two opponents of the Forest this season at a closer distance.

Don't dare to do such a promise as a league champion now. The Premier League and the League One are completely different events with different concepts, and can almost be regarded as two worlds.

Last season, Arsenal led by Wenger set a great result of 38 consecutive unbeaten league championships. Although this is not a continuous unbeaten record in England's top league, it is not easy to remain unbeaten in a season today when competition and confrontation are more intense. With such Arsenal, will Don't dare to say that he won the league championship this season?

Arrogance does not mean idiots. He knows what to be crazy and when to keep a low profile.

Arsenal and Manchester United are the biggest couple of enemies in the Premier League since its establishment. In the past, Manchester United and Arsenal may have had such tension in the past decade. The person who changed all this was the Gunners head coach Arthur Wenger. After winning the first two consecutive seasons of the Premier League, Ferguson began to look forward to his dynasty dominance in the Premier League. Blackburn's usurpation in the middle of the throne was generally regarded as a flash in the pan of the nouveau riche and could not pose any threat to Manchester United, because in the following season, Manchester United successfully overtook Blackburn.

In the first five years of the Premier League, Manchester United won four championships. The light belongs to Ferguson completely, his Manchester United team. Just as Ferguson has laid the foundation for his Manchester United dynasty and continued to consolidate, Frenchman Wenger came. Wenger, who is still coaching the team in Japan, is unknown. No one knows his name and ability, and some even laugh at the Frenchman - Britain and France have always been disagreeable.

What happened? Wenger won the league championship in his first season when he came to Arsenal. They also called the double champion of the season and won the FA Cup championship. Wenger gave the proud Ferguson a blow, which also made the two head coaches and two teams ever since.

As of the end of the 2003-04 season, in the next six years, the Premier League will basically be a situation where Manchester United and Arsenal compete for the top two. They win and lose each other, Liverpool has completely fallen, and Chelsea is not stable enough. The two traditional giants, two head coaches full of unique personal charm, and the teams that have been deeply stamped with their personal marks, the grudges between the two sides have run through most of the Premier League.

So as long as these two teams meet, the scene will be hot, playing from the field to the outside, and the audience and the media will be excited, which will make the FA feel a headache.

Even a mere Community Shield is a battlefield for them to compete for. Tang En watched the game carefully on the court, greedily absorbing everything he could learn - the on-the-spot substitutions of the two veteran coaches, the starting lineup, the actual tactics in the game... etc. The victory or defeat of the game is the most important.

It was not until the end of this game that Don En remembered that this result did not deviate from the history he remembered - Arsenal defeated Manchester United 3-1 and won the first championship trophy of the season. Even the players who scored the goal were not bad at all: Arsenal's Gilberto scored the first record for Arsenal, and then rejected Forest this summer, and Alan, who turned to Manchester United, scored his first official game goal after joining the Red Devils, helping the team tie the score. Then Spanish teenager Reyes helped Arsenal lead again, and finally Manchester United's Sylvester became Arsenal's "meanor" and his own goal helped Arsenal secure the victory.

After the game, Arsenal players excitedly picked up a silver prize plate to celebrate the first championship they won this season. Manchester United players were early on the court and were unwilling to serve as a background for their opponents' celebration banquets, setting off their joy with their own loss.

Donn was also not interested in Arsenal's championship celebrations, and he and David Chrislack were planning to return to Nottingham as the crowds surged out of the court.

Arsenal fans are still unwilling to part in the stadium and accompany their team to celebrate the victory. Almost all those who appear now are dejected Manchester United fans. All around Donn are fans wearing Manchester United jerseys. Some of them are silent, frustrated and just bow their heads to rush forward, while others are still unwilling to lose and are constantly arguing with the people around them about the game that just ended.
