Chapter 207: The War between the Two People 1 (Part 1)
Albertini's comeback is not just because the team has one more person, but more importantly, it has boosted the team's morale.
Next on October 15th, Forest will challenge Tottenham Hotspur away. After a fierce battle, Forest will defeat its opponent 1:0.
Before he knew it, Nottingham Forest, which had one less game, has ranked second in the league standings with 19 points. Chelsea is still the first place. Mourinho's team started nine games and won nine games in the new season, ranking first with 27 points.
But now Don't value the league, but the Champions League game.
On October 19th, on the Champions League Day, Forests faced Benfica at home. Donn adjusted the team's lineup, Arteta was replaced by Albertini, ending George's suspension period; Wood returned to the starting lineup, and Forests' waist suddenly stood up.
What are the consequences of raising your waist?
The Forest finally ushered in its first Champions League victory at its home court.
2:1, Nottingham Forest defeated last season's Portuguese League champion Benfica!
Before the game, someone suspected that Wood, who missed two Champions League games, would not be able to keep up with the team's pace, but Wood's performance seemed to be no different from usual.
The reason was that before the game, Done told Wood that it would be right to treat the Champions League as a normal game, and it was all football games, and there was no difference.
Before the game, Benfica thought of pinching Nottingham Forest as a soft persimmon, but he didn't expect that he would break his teeth after biting it.
In fact, in the first two group matches, Nottingham Forest's performance has not been considered bad, but because of one reason or another, they have not won.
In the first group match, Forest team advanced to Real Madrid's goal and was overtaken by Real Madrid at the last moment. In the second group match, it was not easy for Forest team to be able to tie Lille away.
In this game, no personnel were absent, the physical condition was good, the mentality was good, and the Forest team, who played at home finally burst out with their true strength. Benfica, who underestimated the Forest team, became the first victim.
After the game, the Portuguese media used "Forest Team to be upset" to describe this game, while the English media took it as a matter of course for Forest Team to defeat Benfica.
The Sun ridiculed the Portuguese media's "upset theory" like this: "Will the second place in the Premier League defeat the fourth place in the Portuguese Premier League be called "unpopular"?"
There is no detailed comparison and analysis of strength in this sentence. It makes people see how absurd that "sudden speech" is. Although Tang En doesn't like The Sun very much, this time they still make Tang En feel very happy when they speak for the Forest Team.
In another group match held on the same day, Real Madrid easily defeated Lille 2-0 at home.
As a result, the situation in Group D became that Real Madrid ranked first with two wins and one draw and seven points, while Nottingham Forest, the fourth-level team, originally ranked last because they won Benfica.
He suddenly became the second in the group with four points, and his brother who lost in this round of the game - Lille and Benfica ranked third and fourth with two points.
After winning Benfica, everyone's vision of the Forest Team was different. No one dared to underestimate this team with tenacious combat effectiveness anymore.
The latest issue of UEFA's UEFA Champions League TV magazine introduced the game as follows: "...The youngest team led by the Champions League head coach won the first victory in the Champions League. Let's see what other results Tony; Donn can create..."
The youngest... is such a hype gimmick.
As time entered the end of October, Forest team won consecutive victories in the league. It always followed Chelsea's footsteps, putting strong teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool under its feet, and won its first victory in the Champions League.
It seems that Tang En is now in a pride.
However, he still had a trouble and didn't tell anyone about it.
On October 24th, the first day after the 10th round of the Premier League, Donn came to the Royal Medical College of Nottingham to visit his player Freddy; Eastwood.
After the first operation, the doctors found that the situation had not improved, so they performed a second operation on Eastwood's right knee, and the Gypsy's comeback time was repeatedly pushed.
It has been seven months since he was injured in the game against Sporting Lisbon, and it is a desperate seven months...
After surgery, recovery, the situation has not improved, surgery and recovery will occur again.
I can't see hope at all. I don't know if there will be any problems with this leg after recovery.
Tang En still remembers that he made a generous speech to Eastwood in the ward of this hospital, telling him that fate is a big net composed of one choice after another. People always have to face one or another choice, but no matter what choice they make, they cannot stand still and stagnate.
Seven months passed, and Don felt that he had no shame to say that in front of Eastwood again. He was waiting a little desperate. Every time there was a little unfavorable news from the hospital, his heart sank a little.
Donn did not ask where Eastwood's ward was in the lobby below. He walked straight up. The number needed to be asked, and he had long remembered it.
But he pushed open the ward door. What he saw was just an empty room. Tang En thought he had found the wrong room, so he pushed it out and looked up at the ward number. Yes, it was Eastwood's ward.
He stood at the door and thought for a while. It was impossible for Eastwood to move out of the hospital and he didn't know it. Professor Constantine would tell him everything about Eastwood in time.
Tang En walked in and the ward was very neat. A bouquet of flowers was inserted into the vase on the bedside table. He looked carefully and saw water droplets on the petals and leaves. He touched the bed again, and there was still a little warmth.
It seems that Eastwood did not move out, but...Don, standing at the window, leaned down and looked down, and soon he found his target.
Freddy was walking slowly in the garden with his wife's help; Eastwood looked at Donn who appeared in front of him in surprise.
"Boss? Why are you here?" His voice sounded very pleasantly.
"I'll see you, Freddy." Donn shook the bouquet in his hand, and then he smiled at Freddy's wife and said, "Hello, Serim."
"Hello, boss." The Gypsy woman followed her husband to call Tangen.
Three people sat down on a bench beside the stone road.
"Yesterday's game was really exciting!" Eastwood took the initiative to mention football.
He was talking about the just-concluded 10th round of the league. Forests vs. Middlesbrough at home, because of the grudge between Donn and Middlesbrough head coach McLaren, the game attracted much attention.
The final score was 4:2, and the two sides fought against each other. The Forest team won Middlesbrough with its sharper offense and better defense, allowing McLaren's record of no victory at the City Stadium to continue.
Tang En scratched his head: "You watched live TV? Didn't the doctor say it's better not to watch the Forests game?"
This is not a joke, although when he first heard this suggestion, Don did think it was a joke... Stephen, who was the chief surgery for Eastwood; Professor Albert warned Eastwood very seriously and seriously after the second operation that in order for him to recover as soon as possible, it is best not to watch the Forests game, so as not to hurt his fragile knee again under excitement.
When watching football, people will inevitably have some physical movements that are excited. If the movement is large, it is not strange to hurt the knee that has just undergone surgery.
Eastwood smiled and Serim next to him pointed at him and said, "He didn't let go of the Forest team game, and he watched it all live."
"It won't work if I don't let me watch the football game." Eastwood said, "I can't play football now. If I don't even let me watch it, I don't know how to pass the time."
Tang En glanced at his right knee, hesitated for a moment before asking, "How is it recovering this time?"
"I think it's good!" The Gipsy answered very simply, sure. "I think I'll be back to the training ground in two months."
Unlike what Tang Enlai thought before, Freddy in front of him; Eastwood was full of hope for the future and had no intention of giving up.
The recovery period of seven months, even longer, did not defeat him, and he was still as optimistic as before.
"That's great, Freddy. We're all waiting for you." Tang En felt that he was worrying for nothing. It would be the best. "Oh, by the way. In the next round of league, you should not watch live TV. Come to the city stadium and watch it on the spot.
”
Eastwood was stunned for a moment.
"Why? Can't you leave?" Tang En asked.
"No, boss. No problem, even if you walk from here to the city court."
"Who told you to go there!" Tang En laughed. "I asked you to watch the football live, but you have to be careful with my knees."
"Don't worry, boss. I want to recover earlier than you! But... boss, who will our opponent in the next round of the league?"
"Chelsea." Don replied.
Eastwood whistled. "That Chelsea who won nine wins and one draw but did not lose one game?"
"Yes, Chelsea is now ranked first in the league, with 28 points in the ten rounds of the league. Why, are you afraid, Freddy?"
"Just kidding! What am I afraid of?" Freddy retorted loudly, then muttered in a low voice, "It's not me who's going to play..."
