Chapter 173: The time for sprinting is here (Part 2)

In midfield, Albertini had long retired from the Italian national team. George Wood was not selected for Eriksen's England team. Although Ribery performed well in the Premier League this season, it did not attract the attention of French coach Domeneck. Ashley Young and Allen Lennon were just playing for the English youth team. Arteta, a player who has been wandering abroad for a long time, has never been selected for the Spanish national team.

Forward. Viduka is still the main scorer of the Australian national team, but Australia basically has no opponent in the Oceania region. It is better to go back for vacation than to go back to play. Nick Lasbentner was summoned by the Danish national team, but it is hard to say whether he can play. Maybe he just sat on the bench for two games? Pitt Crouch attracted Eriksen's idea, and the media also reported it. But he did not appear on the national team's roster in this game.

By doing this, only Van der Sar and Viduka actually left the training base of Vilford. The Forest team's lineup was kept very complete, giving Tang En sufficient conditions to practice formation tactics and make targeted arrangements. Compared with the other two competitors, the Forest team suffered the least losses.

You know, when the league starts again on April 3, the Forests will welcome their direct competitor Everton at home. That won’t be an easy game…

Because Eastwood was injured and absent, Donne arranged a new front-line combination. Unfortunately, four people on the front line were injured, two left, and only one Crouch. Donne could not train and cooperate fully in these twelve days, and could only rely on the tacit understanding they accumulated in their daily training. Although Bentner was very happy to be selected for the Denmark national team at such a young age. He was eager to try the Denmark team. Before leaving, Donne also encouraged Bentner and hoped he would perform well, but in fact? Donne would not let Bentner sit on the bench for two games, so when the national team event ended, he could still get a healthy Bentner. The Forest team had only three players left on the front line and could never afford to hurt again.

In the game against Everton, Donn will let healthy Ben Turner and healthy Crouch start. Viduca sits on the bench depending on the situation.

In Donn's opinion, Bentner can completely replace Viduca and play the role of a strong center in the team. And what about Crouch? Although he is the tallest, he is not the type of a strong center. He has good foot skills, which is particularly important for a striker who is two meters tall.

The midfield arrangement, the two full-back candidates remain unchanged, and they are the team's main players Ribery and Ashley Young. In the middle of the midfield, Donn made a change from the League Cup - Albertini who played continuously. George Wood, who had been suspended for more than half a month, returned to the starting lineup. He partnered with Mikel Arteta, who played the first starter in the last League Cup game.

Tang En played this arrangement a little - he used the Everton midfield core in his memory to deal with Everton now. He believed that this must be a very interesting thing. But Tang En didn't know whether Moyes would find it interesting...

Wood's mission is very simple. When Albertini was there before, he was responsible for protecting the captain behind him. This time it was replaced by Arteta. His mission remained unchanged and he was still protecting Arteta behind him. He stepped forward to support Arteta when necessary.

On the back line. Yero was rotated, Matthew Epson and Pique partnered, and the two full-back candidates remained unchanged.

During these twelve days, the Forest team has used this formation to practice repeatedly. And it is not only to deal with this game between Everton, but also the more important purpose is that in the next eight rounds of the league this season, the Forest team will use this lineup to complete this season. It will only make fine adjustments in some small parts.

During these twelve days, Tang En and the Forest team coaching team used all the land, time and all the means they could be used.   As the day after losing the game, before going to the airport, Tang En held a simple coaching team meeting in the hotel room.   At the meeting, he generously admitted his strategic mistakes.   The league gave up, but the League Cup did not achieve any good results as expected. For Tang En, the League Cup runner-up and the League Cup top 16 are of the same level, as long as he did not win the championship, they are not considered "good results".

Then, Tang En told the coaching team that the team's goal had changed. Return to the league again. The team is still based on the league. It has to be said that the coaching team of Nottingham Forest may be able to rank in the middle of the league, but everyone is very good. But no one laughed at Tang En for taking it on his own, and no one has any complaints about going around in the League Cup. For them, the team's collective performance is far more important than the honor of someone. As long as it is good for the Forest, they will do whatever they want.

Tang En knew what kind of people these coaches were, but unfortunately... it’s not the time to say thank you, after all, their goals have not been achieved yet.

During the day at the team training base, Tang En and all members of the coaching team led the team to train, study how to arrange tactics, ensure the health of the players, and pay attention to their physical fitness... There are special people responsible for countless small details, and Tang En only needs to coordinate and plan. However, when he lost a few games just now, his role as a head coach may not be reflected in the team's specific training, but in psychological adjustment.

He needs to make everyone believe that these failures are just small slopes and small obstacles. As long as they use a little force, they will step over it. It's no big deal. For Tang En, this may be his best job...

Tang En was not idle when he returned home in the evening, and he was completely out of the bar. He went home from dinner to study every opponent in the remaining eight rounds of the league, and did not miss any details. Tang’s training task in the youth team was not heavy, after all, the youth team and the first team were still very different. So he would help Tang En collect a lot of video information of his competitors. After dinner, the two would sit in front of the TV and watch videos of the team’s games over and over again.

Although Tang is not the first team coach, he is doing the work that anyone in the first team coaching staff should do.

If you lose the League Cup, if you don’t want to get nothing this season, then everyone will have to work hard and fight with all their might. Now there is no way out to retreat.
