Chapter 176: Good job (Part 1)

Liverpool tied the key game, which was great news for Nottingham Forest. Don N believed that there would be no fewer players watching TV at home and caring about the game last night, because before the training began the next morning, everyone was still discussing yesterday's game.

Tang En was also happy. When he summoned the players to prepare for training, the smile on his face did not disappear. Looking at the players with the same smile, his smile became stronger. In the end, he couldn't help but shout out loud: "Who watched yesterday's game?"

Raise almost half of his hands.

"Does anyone remember what I said before you played against Everton?" Done stood in front of the players with his hips, as if a general was talking, full of energy. "I said Liverpool will definitely fall behind, and I will definitely fall behind!" He waved his hand vigorously and pointed down. "I'm right, am I right?"

"right!"

"That's right!"

"Boss! Tell me the next lottery number!"

A burst of laughter rang out from the team.

Don Eun waved his hand: "Go away! It's not that I'm not sure, what does this mean? Liverpool's two-sided battles are certain to give up on one side. For them, the UEFA Champions League is much more important than the league. For us now, there is no more important thing than getting the top four in the league and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season. Some people say we are promoted teams, and they think that the goal of the first season of the new team should and can only be relegation, and the best result is just to relegation in advance. Now let's correct their wrong idea. Who said that the newly promoted teams cannot participate in the UEFA Champions League next season? We will show them this time!"

On April 10, the 32nd round of the league. Nottingham Forest challenged Bolton away. The highly morale Forest team fought against Bolton away. In this game, both sides scored a total of five goals, and the final score was 3:2, and the Forest team narrowly won away.

Everton beat Crystal Palace 4-0 at home in this round of the league. He still maintained a one-point lead against Forests.

Liverpool was tied by Newcastle in the make-up match three days ago. It was originally the same points as Everton - 51 points, and slightly higher than Forest. But in this round of the league, maybe they really planned to shift their end-of-season goals to the Champions League, and they lost to Manchester City 0:1 away.

After the 32nd round of the league, Everton scored 54 points, Forests scored 53 points, and Liverpool scored 51 points.

On April 17, the 33rd round of the league. Both Nottingham Forest and Everton will be postponed. Everton's away challenge to Newcastle was postponed to May 11. Nottingham Forest's away match against Chelsea was posted on April 26.

Liverpool's game was not postponed, but they still did not win. This time they were tied 2:2 by Tottenham Hotspur at home. With both Forest and Everton playing one less game, they still failed to surpass their points and rankings.

Starting from the 34th round of the league on April 21, the Forests' opponents are:

We face Manchester United at home, Chelsea away (33 rounds of make-up), Liverpool at home, Arsenal away, Charlton away, and Birmingham at home.

This is a real silly schedule.

This is also the biggest reason why Moyes also believes that Everton can keep fourth place.

The remaining six games. The Forest team can't afford to lose in one game.

The last day of training before the game ended, and the players got off the court, walked into the locker room, ready to take a shower and change clothes. The person walking in the front found that there was already someone in the locker room. Their head coach was busy inside.

Don En posted an enlarged schedule in the locker room, with all the opponents of Forest from the first round to the 38th round of the league. As of the 32nd round, the scores of Forest's matches were written in the middle of the two teams. There were wins, losses and draws. Starting from the 33rd round against Chelsea, the scores in the middle were all blank. Those opponents were all the ones they would face in the next half month.

After carefully sticking this huge matchup watch on the wall, Tang En jumped off the stool. He clapped his hands and turned around and saw the players huddled at the door.

"What are you doing?" Tang En asked while lowering his head and patting the white ash on his pants.

"Boss, you are..." The players were puzzled. They could recite such a schedule, so why bother to stick it in the locker room?

"The matchmaking table is magnified, is it very clear?" Tang En turned around and patted the matchmaking table on the wall.

"But... but we all know that the next opponent is..." Someone among the players asked.

"Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal... These are our opponents. You all know? That's great. I believe I don't need to say anything more..."

Before Tang En finished speaking, he was interrupted by Albertini: "Boss, what are you going to say? Are you worried that we will not be able to perform because we are afraid of our opponents?"

Tang En scratched his head embarrassedly. Yes, he really thought so.

Seeing the head coach like this, Albertini knew it. He looked back at his teammates, and the big guy laughed.

"This provocation is useless." Ribery curled his lips. "We are completely immune."

Albertini also smiled and said, "Don't worry. Boss. We are more anxious than you if you want to qualify for the Champions League. You ask everyone. Who doesn't want to participate in the Champions League?"

"Yes, the captain is right!"

"Champions Cup! Just think about it and get excited!"

A group of young people began to look forward to what they would look like next season when they participated in the European Champions League.

"Hey, Matthew, what opponent do you think we will encounter then? AC Milan or Barcelona?"

"What do you do when you encounter a strong team? I would rather we meet weak teams, no one pays attention to us. We just made the weak teams all the way, reaching the top 16..."

"I really don't have the ambition! I hope to be in the same group as the strongest team in Europe. In that case, I can let the wealthy families see how powerful I am!" Bentner fiddled with his blonde hair and whistled.

Tang En shook his head with some amusement when he looked at the group of people who were discussing very enthusiastically.

"Okay, okay! Go take a shower, go take a shower! Don't catch a cold." Tang En waved his hand and interrupted their beautiful dreams.

When everyone rushed into the locker room and started to take off their clothes, Tang En turned around and walked out.

Although he was a little reserved on the surface, he was actually very happy. These kids were even better than he thought. He had nothing to worry about. Even if they were facing teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal, so what? If even these teams in the domestic league were afraid of worrying, even if they got the fourth place in the league as they wished and then qualified for the Champions League main tournament through the qualifying round, how should they face the European powerhouses? Do you plan to surrender just by hearing the names? In this case, it would be better to surrender now, so as not to be embarrassed to be thrown into the European continent next season.

Aren’t it just three teams ranked in the top three in the league? What’s the big deal? Fight!

Tang En suddenly punched the wall next to him. He looked grim, gritted his teeth, stared at the exit with a ferocious face that shone with a light in front of him, as if there was the road to glory to the Champions League...

"Hiss-" He glared for a long time before Tang En's mouth made a sound of breathing. "It hurts so much!... It's okay to hit the wall, I..." He suddenly withdrew his fist, hugged it in his arms and cursed in a low voice.

The next day is match day. As the league enters the final stage, the competition for various goals has also reached a fierce momentum. Tony Donn's team needs to compete for fourth place in the league, just for the qualification for a Champions League qualifier. Manchester United hopes to get the same Champions League qualification, and they are no longer able to win any league championship now.

Arsenal and Chelsea are for the purpose of the league championship. Although Chelsea is now 82 points and topped the list. Arsenal and Chelsea are 11 points apart, the league has not ended, and the score difference is not big enough to allow Chelsea to win the championship ahead of schedule. This round of the league is the key, Arsenal will play against Chelsea away. If you want to continue to maintain your hope of winning the championship, Arsenal must defeat Chelsea. If you lose, the points gap between the two teams is 14 points. When both teams have five games left (one of which is the 33rd round of the game), the 14-point gap means that Chelsea must lose all, while Arsenal will win all. This requirement is really too difficult...

So if Wenger still wants to defend the league championship, the most critical step is to win Chelsea away in today's game, narrowing the gap between the two teams to eight points. At the same time, defeating the opponent at home can also create huge psychological pressure for Chelsea.

Everton's opponent in this round of the league is Manchester City, and they also play away, so this opponent is not easy to deal with. Manchester City just defeated Liverpool. In order to participate in the League Cup, they don't mind defeating Liverpool's city rivals at all.

Liverpool played against Portsmouth at home in this game. If there was no surprise, these three-pointers had already been obtained.

If Forests loses to Manchester United at home, they may not only be widened by Everton to four points, but also be caught up by Liverpool. After all, they are only two points away now.

Even if they draw, the two teams will score 54 points together, and Liverpool will be ahead of Forests by relying on the advantage of goal difference.
