Chapter 120: Victory is needed (Part 2)

When everyone gradually stopped laughing, Tang En looked at these people and said seriously: "Although we did not defeat Arsenal in the end, I think you all saw it... How embarrassed are we forcing the defending champion? I said the Forest team is not afraid of any opponents, aren't they lying, right?"

"No!" the players replied loudly.

"Next time, as long as we are lucky, we will be able to defeat them. The same is true for facing other opponents. Although the Forest team is a team that has just been upgraded, we are both on the same starting line as them... Does anyone have doubts about our future because of the draw the day before yesterday?"

Everyone shook their heads at the same time.

"Very good, I don't." Tang En nodded vigorously, then patted his hands, "Go out and warm up, let me do some recovery training!"

When Tang En took the lead in pushing the door open and walked out, he was shocked. There were many fans around the training ground, and the number was several times higher than usual. These people did not make noise. They cheered when they saw Tang En and the players coming out.

Although generally speaking, the training on the first day after the game is completely open, because this day is basically a recovery training and there is nothing to keep from the media confidentiality, it is the first time that Tang En has met so many fans on the training ground of the Forest Team.

Don Eun knew what they were doing. He looked back at the players who were still surprised and said, "The training was cancelled this morning. Guys, go and sign them, don't refuse their requests." He pointed to the cute and enthusiastic fans.

BBC5 reporter in the corner smiled at the camera: "It seems that the team that set a new record seems to be Tony Donn's team."

It is certainly a big deal for Arsenal to set a new record of unbeaten, but for Donn, the whole thing had nothing to do with him as soon as the game ended.

I no longer care whether Arsenal will really continue the unbeaten record to forty-nine games according to the history in my memory, and then end it by Manchester United.

There is not much time left for him to care for others, on the 28th. Nottingham Forest is a visit to Goodison Park Stadium, where he challenged the Everton team coached by Moyes.

Tang En still remembers how he met and talked to Moyes at the Coach Association's cocktail party. Although he was both a young coach, Moyes was not only young but also good at that time, while Tang En had nothing, just an unknown man who had just lost his job as a head coach.

It's different now. Don Eun led the team to win the League Cup last season. He entered the European arena and led the team to the Super League. Although he only led the team to play for half a season, he was named the best coach of the League One season after the end of last season. He is also young and promising.

This is a contest between two young men. After winning the award last season, Moyes also called Don Eun to congratulate him. He may be Don Eun's best relationship among Premier League coaches. But there is no friendship in football games.

Everton League started three rounds, with one round less, ranking 13th in the ranking of one win and one loss. The second round of the game was a match with Manchester United - this game was pushed to August 30 after the fourth round. Moyes focused all his energy on preparing for the game with Manchester United, and despite this, Don did not think the team could score three points at Everton's home court.

Duncan Ferguson of Everton scored two goals alone and was the hero of the team. The two goals on the Forest team were completed by two different people. The forward Viduca scored the first goal of the team. In the last game with Arsenal, he wasted a one-on-one opportunity. In this game, under the opponent's close control, he scored a beautiful header. The person who scored the second goal of the team was veteran Yero, who got the penalty kick. Yero was the first candidate for the team's penalty kick. He scored 2:2 in one go.

The score remained until the end of the game, and there was another draw.

The result of the game is 2:2.

Judging from this result, it seems to be a satisfactory result to tie Everton away. But thinking of the Forests having tied three rounds in a row, it feels uncomfortable... It is obviously just a layer of paper to win, but it can't be broken. The average newly promoted team has just started four rounds of the season. Three points were scored and only lost one game, which seems good. But for Don En, a draw is useless, he needs a victory. And he firmly believes that as long as the first victory comes, more victory will follow.

The question is...when will victory come for the first time?

At the post-match press conference, facing the reporter's questions. Tang En expressed his trust and support for the players as always. He praised the team's performance and made a big announcement that he was very satisfied with his current results. As a newly promoted team, he was very content to lose only one game...

The media were all deceived, and they commented in their own articles:

Tony Donn is very satisfied with his team's performance!

The Forest team still has a long way to go, but they are doing very well now!

Nottingham Forest's goal this season should be relegation!

The Premier League and the Championship are completely different leagues, and Coach Tony Donn felt tremendous pressure!

...

And so on.

Such comments made Tang En find it funny when he saw it, but he couldn't hope it. Why? Because this can confuse his opponent in the next round...

Due to the national team's day-to-local competition, the four-round league in August will be closed for twelve days after the end of the local league. The Premier League will only rekindle on September 11th.

Tang En knew very well what his team needed now.

victory.

He needs a victory to consolidate the confidence and morale of the players, and also a victory to relieve pressure on himself. Otherwise, no matter how nice the mouth is, if you don’t win continuously, the players will have ideas in their hearts. He is now a newly formed team, why do the players gather together? Of course, it will not be love for this team. But because Don Eun promised them the victory that he promised to them is glorious when he recruits them. If they always draw a draw... Even if they learn from Arsenal, they will have unbeaten forty-four rounds in a row - all draws - what's the use?
