Chapter 28 What happened?(1/2)
Chapter 28 What's going on?
The loss to Fulham away was considered an unpopular by Nottingham's media, and the media in other places, especially London, do not see this way.
They believe that the gap between Fulham and Nottingham Forest is not as big as the victory, but they also admit that Fulham defeated Nottingham Forest was not expected before the game.
One day after Donn's team lost the game, Manchester United also defeated Watford 2-1 away. So far, they are the only team that has maintained a three-round victory, so they naturally continue to firmly sit in the top spot in the league.
Tony; Done still didn't taste the first place in the league...
After losing this game, the Forests' ranking dropped from the original second to the fifth, with teams like Portsmouth and Aston Villa ahead of them. The only thing that deserves Don En's gratitude is that they still pressed against Chelsea.
For Tang, the only good thing this week was that the filming team of the Chinese TV station finally left and his private life could return to normal. But since he had moved out of Tang En, he had no reason to move back.
In fact, this is good. Everyone has their own private life, and even people living under the same roof will be no exception. If Xianya comes to play with Tang En, even if the two of them don’t think there is something wrong.
Tang himself will not feel uncomfortable when he is a light bulb.
In September, in the fourth round of the league, Nottingham Forest defeated Blackburn 2:1 at home, with three wins and one loss, ranking fourth with nine points, continuing to put Chelsea under.
It seems that everything is normal except for a little setback.
The results of the Champions League group draw have come out. It’s time to focus on the Champions League.
Speaking of this lottery ceremony, Tang En also went there, and the situation was different from a year ago.
A year ago, Donn was an unknown man on the European Champions League field. He also sat alone in the corner when he came to attend the lottery ceremony. Only a few English coaches came to say hello. Neither the media nor the head coaches from other countries cared about this somewhat gloomy young man.
What about this time? He had just gotten out of the car and was photographed by the media who had been waiting for a long time. The flashes were connected, almost turning the night in this small place at the entrance of the hotel into daylight.
Following Tang Enlai was AC Milan head coach Ancelotti. Fatty An, who was used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, was also shocked and thought something big had happened.
When he saw clearly that the riot caused by Tang En in front of him was just the one who caused it, he curled his lips and walked around the other party.
Donn turned his head to look at Ancelotti, then waved to the media and walked in.
After entering the venue, it became a luxury for him to have a quiet rest. Coaches kept coming to chat with him, and they would come over to chat or not... and they would come over to chat. Tang En also enjoyed the feeling of being a core figure among coaches.
Of course, most of the people who come here are head coaches of non-hero teams. The rich teams also have the reserve of the rich teams.
For example, the head coach of the Italian Milan two-roster did not want to be friendly with Donne, especially Inter Milan coach Mancini, who was eliminated by Forest last season.
He saw that Tang En couldn't really feel good about it when he saw so proudly now.
Another person who dislikes Don En, is Barcelona coach Rijcard.
Everyone still remembers what happened after the final of the Champions League last season. Although on the surface, Don En gave the silver medal to the caddie without giving UEFA face, in fact, as the champion who defeated the Forests, Barcelona was also implicated.
Don Eun's face was shown to UEFA and Barcelona at the same time.
Rijke Calder criticized Done unceremoniously in an interview, saying that he "had never seen such a decent head coach." "Britain always calls himself a gentleman. Is this a gentleman's performance?" "If my opponent wins, I'll just congratulate you, and I will never do such an indecent thing."... It can be seen that he is very resentful.
Of course, Rijcard was reason to be angry. Donne's performance made people feel as if the Barcelona champion came in an inappropriate way. This is an insult to Barcelona.
Not to mention Rijcard's dissatisfaction, Barcelona's senior executives and ordinary fans were very dissatisfied with Don Eun - what are you? Do you dare to point fingers at us like this? If you lose, you lose. If you can't afford to lose, don't play!
So at this draw ceremony, Barcelona coach Rijkaard and Nottingham Forest coach Tony; Don did not meet at all.
These were the highlights of this lottery ceremony, but unfortunately, no stories happened in the venue, which disappointed the media.
Before the draw, there is another highlight. As the UEFA Tony, who has a slight face after the Champions League final, will his team be secretly "revenge" by UEFA in the new season? Of course. UEFA will not admit that there is a saying of "revenge".
Does anyone believe their statement? It is said that the draw of lots is fair, fair and open. Why did Chelsea, led by Mourinho, who is regarded as a disaster by UEFA, encounter Barcelona repeatedly?
Now, there is another number of people who are regarded as a flood by UEFA and cannot be tamed - Tony; Donn and his Nottingham Forest.
Johnson would definitely complain, why are there such troublesome people in England?
But except for the football environment like England that gives the head coach great power, it is unlikely that such a self-centered head coach will be produced elsewhere.
The media speculated that UEFA will use some tricks to put Nottingham Forest in the group draw in this group so that even their group can't get out of the line.
After all, even if they won the second place last season, the Forest team is not a seed team. They are arranged in the third-level team and the probability of encountering the death group is very high.
Even the club chairman Evan Dogette reminded Don to be prepared for the worst.
"Didn't Allen go to open the joint?" Tang En had a question.
"Public relations work is not that simple. You have to know that dealing with those people is not easy and difficult." Evan said to the UEFA official sitting on the table. "So, no matter how well Alan is doing his job.
You must also make the worst plan."
Tang En stared at the group of officials who should have been called "politicians" and nodded: "I understand."
The two of them stopped talking, had their own thoughts, and quietly watched how fate's hands fiddled with the ball in the box.
As soon as the lottery result came out, everyone was shocked, including Donn and Evan.
If Mourinho's Chelsea and his arch rival Barcelona were nakedly separated by UEFA again - being in Group A, causing a lot of noise in the venue, it would be the first good show today.
Then the next scene was beyond everyone's expectations.
Nottingham Forest was actually assigned to an incredibly weak group!
“Group C: Eindhoven, Bordeaux, Nottingham Forest, Galatasaray.”
Not to mention the media that followed the lottery draw, even the coaches of the teams present did not expect this to be the result.
Before each draw, the head coach of each team must have his own small plan, hoping to avoid strong enemies and meet weak teams to qualify smoothly.
Many people hope that the difficult Nottingham Forest will be assigned to the death group and fight with the strong team. No matter which two teams qualify in the end, it will inevitably be a situation where both sides will suffer losses.
Unexpectedly... UEFA not only did not secretly punish Nottingham Forest, but instead helped Tony; Don Eun was very busy!
The strength of this group can almost be regarded as the weakest among the eight groups, if nothing unexpected happens. Nottingham Forest has no problem qualifying.
How could this happen? Mourinho has been secretly suppressed by Tony and Don instead take advantage of it.
Everyone turned their doubtful eyes to UEFA President Johnson on the stage, but no one could get the answer they wanted from that smiling fat face.
"It seems that Allen succeeded." Tang En said to Evan next to him with a smile.
Although I felt something was strange, Evan still responded with a smile: "That's fine. We don't have to spend too much energy in the group stage."
"I have to thank him when I go back."
"Don't cause trouble for him anymore, he'll thank God." Evan smiled helplessly.
Tang En laughed loudly, no matter what gaze the people next to him looked at him, he did not hide his complacency or excitement at all.
"The draw ceremony for the Champions League group stage is over. I think no one will have any objections to the biggest winner in this draw - there is no doubt that it is Nottingham Forest head coach Tony; Donne.
His team drew a lottery that was too good to be better. In Group C, which is recognized as the weakest, Nottingham Forest has a bright future for qualifying.
"Most of the subsequent sports news reported this way, and the matching scene was the scene where Tang En smiled brightly in the venue.
The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast. Mr. Tang En, please be sure to grasp the reins...
The Champions League draw ceremony was a big win, and Nottingham Forest seemed to prove to the world that they are indeed capable of competing for the Champions League championship this season. In the next Champions League group stage game.
Nottingham Forest defeated Eindhoven, the strongest in the group, 1-0 away.
The poor playing of the game is in line with Tang En's consistent principle of "only pursuing must be scored, not pursuing the scene."
Eindhoven lost depressedly. Judging from the scene, their chances were no less than those of the Forest team, but they just failed to seize them. Van Nisstruy scored a goal in total three shots in the whole game.
Perhaps it is related to Don't have to mobilize before the season, Nottingham Forest does not need Don't have to mobilize before the game to play in the Champions League. The players are very excited.
There is no problem with player status, team physical fitness, and coaching tactics. Don Eun is full of confidence in the prospects of the Champions League.
He just got the glory in the Champions League and returned to the league. Nottingham Forest will face the newly promoted team of Reading this season at home.
Before the time travel, Donn knew almost nothing about Reading, and until after that famous game, Reading's name was engraved in his mind and could not be removed.
Because he was a Chelsea fan for a while, Don still has a good impression of the Chelsea team - of course, now he is the head coach, and the fans' thinking is about to be thrown into Java, and Chelsea is now his opponent.
In that famous battle, Reading defeated two Chelsea goalkeepers. The main goalkeeper Cech made Reading player Hunter hit his knee and broke his skull with his knee, and he was unconscious, even making Mourinho worried whether he could survive.
Then one minute before the end of the game, Cudicini, who came on the bench, made Reading defender Songko fall into a coma. In desperation, Mourinho could only use captain Terry to put on the goalkeeper's jersey and play a guest goalkeeper.
This game caused an uproar in international football, and the violence on the English football field was once again recognized by the world.
Tang En, who was an ordinary Chinese fan at that time, also remembered Reading, and their blue horizontal jersey similar to the prison uniform.
Tang En didn't know if the influence of his time travel would bring this game. After all, after the time travel, his team fought with Reading many times, and he and the head coach had personal grudges.
It is almost impossible to play peacefully tomorrow's game. He knows Koper, and that person will not miss any chance to avenge himself. If he can defeat Forest at home, it will be perfect for Koper.
Because of this consideration, Tang En had this kind of worry. According to his memory, the match between Reading and Chelsea took place this season. Will the risk be passed on to the Forests now? After all, Reading and Chelsea have no grudges or grudges.
Will Cech and Kudicini escape?
Don Eun doesn't know these things now, only one thing he understands very well: that is, Reading's wild style of play has not been changed by his time travel. When he was playing in the League One, Don Eun had fully understood Reading's style.
Now that they have been promoted to the Super League, their style has become more and more powerful in order to survive in this cruel league.
The league has only been held for four rounds, and the newly promoted Ma Reading has made people fully understand what the football they play looks like - in the four rounds of the league, some players received red cards.
Tang En was very worried about this. Now his team is no longer the one in the A League that is not afraid of anything if you take off your shoes and roll up your sleeves and dares to fight against any opponents, not considering tomorrow's small team. Erlangzi Reading can afford to fight, they are not afraid of anything.
There is nothing to lose. We have to fight on multiple fronts, and at the same time, the first team has only 23 people, but we can't afford it...
If you hurt someone, you will lose a strong combat power.
During the training day before this game, Tang En kept frowning, making everyone think he was not satisfied with the training situation.
To be continued...
