Chapter 10 We were raped (1)
The singing in the city stadium stands continued, time passed by minute by minute. West Ham made a little counterattack in the final stage of the game, and they didn't want to end their trip to Nottingham in such a mess.
Unfortunately, West Ham, who replaced Defoe, lost the last offensive arrow and could only push Joe Cole up. Joe Cole is not a striker. He is so slap in the midfield that once he enters the penalty area, he is at a loss. Michael Dawson defends Joe Cole like this, so he doesn't need Done to worry about anything on the court.
On the contrary, West Ham, who was pressed out, gave the Forest more chance to counterattack. When Tang En saw the anxious Rhode constantly waving his arms to signal the team to press up, he sneered in his heart. It's now, what's the use of pressing up? Worrying that one ball is not enough? Why did you do it long ago?
Donne decided to use the second substitution slot in this game. He called David Johnson, who was warming up, signaled him to replace Leicester, and took turns to attack West Ham's defense line with Halewood. Because Donne found a problem. West Ham's central defender Gary Brynn played in the second half and actually dragged the backside in the field. He often dragged the backside all day long, which was obviously a good opportunity to use to make a quick counterattack. So Donne asked Johnson to come on the field and send a message to Reed: "Shit more straight passes. Don't be afraid of offside. Just seize one opportunity and you can kill them!"
The fourth official raised his sign again, and Johnson replaced Leicester.
When Lester walked to the sidelines, Donne took the initiative to extend his hand to him: "Beautiful job, Jack. Go to the locker room and take a shower."
Lester stretched out his hand but shook his head: "No, I don't want to go back to the locker room at this time, I have to be with everyone."
Tang En smiled and shook with him: "Then you can stay here."
By this time, Tang En was still full of confidence in winning the game. It was strange that no one told him that he would win this game. In his memory, he had never heard of this game. He didn't know what the final score was and what the result was, but he was so firmly convinced that they would win. Where did this confidence come from?
Maybe it was the fans singing constantly in the stands, maybe it was the players running hard on the court, maybe it was Des Walker who sat behind him, maybe... it was something else.
He closed his eyes slightly, and the mood that had been very excited before could finally calm down. Forty minutes before, he seemed to be in a dream, and he was not stepping on solid land, but white clouds. Did he really lead a Class A team to force the Premier League team into such a mess? I am not playing football manager games, right? Running on the court to execute his own orders is not rigid data, they are living people. He is not talking about war with a group of high-drinking fans in the tavern, all this has really come true, and his stuff can defeat the enemy.
Tang En felt that this was his greatest gain.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the full stands and the players running back and forth on the court, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Johnson's appearance reflects Donne's talent and talent in on-the-spot command. He just half a minute into the court, and got an excellent opportunity. Unfortunately, when facing James, the Jamaican missed the ball.
Watching the football rolling out against the post, the Forest fans sighed loudly, and there was little time left for the game. If the ball entered, then you can take advantage of this tone to win West Ham United. All Forest fans are looking forward to how to celebrate this victory at night.
Tang En was also very sorry. He squatted on the sidelines with his head held, sighing, like a fan, and did not have the calmness and calmness of being a head coach at all.
I stood up again and looked at the electronic scoreboard. There were three minutes left. The fourth official had not yet indicated how many minutes there would be in the injury time, but after Boye and Difoe made a fuss, I should have made up for five minutes. There were eight minutes left, and it seemed to be a bit difficult.
At this time, he resented the referee on the court again. If Dawson's ball was not blown out, they would be able to eliminate West Ham United with just one goal.
When he was upset about this, the Forest team got another excellent opportunity!
It was Reed again, another diagonal pass from the midfield, Johnson started beautifully, received the football in front of the penalty area, and then kicked the ball!
The football hit the ball net hard!
But this time without waiting for the Forest players and fans to celebrate, the lineman became the protagonist. He raised the flag and pointed to the far end, and the meaning was obvious - Johnson was offside.
Johnson was very confused about the penalty. He pointed at his "What" and "What" to ask the borderman. The borderman did not answer his questions, but just raised the flag and looked ahead. It seemed that Johnson standing in front of him was air.
Other Forest players also surrounded and questioned the linebacker's judgment. Huge booed in the stands. This time, it was no longer targeting their own team. The target of fans' dissatisfaction was the referee.
On the contrary, Tang En on the sidelines did not make any extreme statements.
Seeing that the ball was offside by the referee and the sideline referee, the fourth official on the sideline turned his head and looked at Tang En. The dangerous person did nothing. He just turned around and opened his arms to the coaching seat, shaking his head helplessly.
Even his partner Walker felt strange about Tang En's "meek" performance.
He saw Don Eun coming back and sat down beside him. "Tony, are you okay?"
"What can I do..." Tang En glanced at the players who were still arguing with the lineman, "Des, we lost this game. If you have such a referee, you have no choice."
Don Eun, who was sitting in the chair, buried his head in his arms, looking very frustrated.
Yes, I calculated the reaction of the opponent's coach, and I also calculated the performance of my own players. My tactics completely suppressed the opponent, and I inspired the confidence and fighting spirit of these players. But the only factor that did not count the referee was that there were always accidents on the football field. It was my turn today.
Walker saw Donne so frustrated, and didn't know what to say. They had a wonderful start in the second half, but they didn't expect to accept the defeat in the end. "Tony... I think you've done a great job. Who would have thought that we could see such a team before the halftime break? Some things are something we can't grasp..."

The referee insisted on his offside penalty for the ball. West Ham coach Rhode breathed a sigh of relief, and like him there were more than a thousand West Ham fans. They felt that today's game was an adventure in the dense jungle full of crisis, and they finally escaped from death.
This was the final result of this game. 2:3, the Forest lost to the Super League West Ham United at its home court.
When the referee blew the final whistle, the Forest players were obviously not willing to accept their results. Tang En even saw tears in Dawson's eyes on the sidelines. He worked so hard but did not get a victory for granted.
Rhode, who had celebrated his own victory, wanted to shake hands with Don Eun and say a few scenes, but he turned his head but did not find the home team's head coach in front of the coach's seat. Tony Don Eun had already walked towards the player corridor.
Des Walker was busy comforting the players, but found that Don had walked directly outside the court and did not shake hands with the opponent's head coach. He planned to stop him: "Tony, where are you going?"
"go back."
"You have to shake hands with the other person's head coach!"
"You helped me hold it." Tang En didn't look back and continued to walk in.
"But you still have to attend the press conference! I can't replace you anymore..."
Donn stopped, turned around and looked at Walker and nodded: "Okay, I'll go."
