After winning a key victory in the Champions League semi-finals, the morale of the entire Nottingham Forest team was high. Although it was a double match in a week, everyone was in good shape.

Don Eun used the rotation system in the next league, replacing more than half of the starting lineup, and Wood also got a chance to rest - although he didn't need to rest at all, Don Eun considered giving other players more opportunities, so he still asked him to go to the stands to accompany his mother.

Sun Jihai appeared in the midfielder instead of Wood. The Chinese player has now completely confirmed his name as "Tianjin Oil".

In an interview with Chinese journalists, he once joked that he was "a brick of socialism and moved wherever he needed to."

On the front line, Anelka, who rarely appears, also got the opportunity to start, and he and Bentner formed a partner.

As the season approaches, rumors about Anelka's transfer fly every day, and many clubs have expressed strong interest in Anelka. It is said that the one who is currently walking is Juventus, who is about to return to Serie A. After Trezeguet leaves, they lack a striker with strength and experience.

Everyone believes that the French striker's life at the city stadium has been few days.

In the midfield, the Spanish midfielder Arteta is partnered with Sun Jihai in the middle, the left forward was replaced by Petrov, and the right forward was injured because of Ashley Yang. For a while, Allen Lennon will become the only choice here. Of course, Ribery can also occasionally make a guest appearance...

The central defender Wes Morgan also got the opportunity to start, and his partner was veteran Ayala. He could not play in the Champions League for the Forests, which was a bit cruel for Ayala. He could only use all his energy in the league field.

Since he came on loan, he has performed stably in the league and used his experience to help the forest stabilize the young defense line.

Gareth Bale, who scored a winning goal in the Champions League semi-finals, replaced Layton Barnes.

Such a big rotation is just because the Forest team's opponents are too weak in the league. Tang En doesn't want to hurt one or two more before the key game.

Forests' opponent in the 36th round of the game was Watford, and this team has been relegated early. Moreover, Forests are still playing at home, and Tang En is not worried that his team will lose the game at home.

The tactic he gave to the team in this game is offense, offense, and using offense to suppress the opponent.

Facts proved that he was right.

Amid the cheers of nearly 30,000 fans at the city stadium, Nottingham Forest beat Watford 4:0.

Poor Watford originally wanted to show his unyielding fighting spirit, and several attacks after the game started posed some threats to the absent-minded Forest team.

But their dying attitude angered Nottingham Forest. It turned out that the absent-minded players seemed to suddenly wake up.

In the 27th minute, Gareth Bale broke through the wing and made a cross. Bentner grabbed the point in the middle and made a strong rush to push the ball into Watford's goal. 1:0.

Watford, who was behind, still did not give up. They also wanted to use the Forests to press the crowd to counterattack.

Three minutes later, Watford, who wanted to play against the Forests, was counterattacked by the Forests.

While they were attacking, Arteta made a long pass in the backcourt in the frontcourt. After Anelka received the ball, he dribbled the ball and broke through alone, facing the attacking goalkeeper Watford. He still had the leisure to pass the opponent and then shot. The football rolled into the empty goal without any suspense.

2:0.

This goal completely destroyed Watford's fighting spirit and conceded two goals in three minutes. Watford players no longer had the confidence to equalize the score again. Now their idea is to "lose less and lose as a win."

During the halftime break, Tang En praised the team's performance and told them to continue working hard in the second half.

He is not satisfied with the 2:0 score. If he can score, just score. Don’t think about giving his opponent face such as boring things. Anyway, the opponent is going to be relegated to the team.

In the second half, the team attached importance to and implemented his words. They used a devastating offense to sieve Watford's defense line. Tang En was very happy to use this opportunity to let the team practice various offensive routines.

So his substitutions in the second half were all offensive adjustments. The defense line was not moved, and there was no intention to adjust the defense line at all.

The Forests relied on Bentner and Petrov to score one goal each in the second half, and finally locked the score at 4:0.

At the end of the game, huge cheers rang out at the city stadium, cheering for their heroes. After each home victory, this is a "reserved program" and there will be no difference between the score and the opponent's strength. In the eyes of these fans.

As long as it is victory, it is worth celebrating. They have been suppressed for twenty-four years, and the desire for victory cannot be released in just one or two wins.

The players of the Forest team ran to the stands hand in hand to thank the fans. This is also the team's "reserved program", which is stipulated by Tang En in the team rules and must be implemented after each home game.

The team and the fans have a harmonious relationship, so he has no worries.

The players thanked the fans in the stands, and Tang En also raised his arms and applauded in the stands. While applauding like this, he walked towards the corridor. At the entrance, he was stopped by Fatty John.

"Tony. Another victory!" John lay on the railing of the stands. He leaned out and waved to Tang En, "Four days later, is there another victory?"

"You're talking nonsense, John." Done grinned, "we..."

"Of course you will win!!" The fans of the earth in the stands took it in unison.

"The answer is right!" Tang En pointed at the cute fans and laughed.

"Goodbye, everyone. See you at Athens then." Tang En waved his hand and walked towards the mixing area. Behind him were the fans shouting:

"Athens! Athens! Athens!"

Amid the fans' roar, Done walked to the mixed zone and waited for an interview.

"Coach Tang En, your status in the hearts of the fans is so high." Tang Jing, who had a reporter's certificate on her chest, appeared in front of Tang En.

Tang En didn't mean anything to be modest and polite about this compliment. He nodded: "This is because my team leader has good results. There is no free lunch in the world, so if they like it, there must be a reason."

Tang Jing got used to his shamelessness. She smiled and said, "Everyone said Nottingham Forest is a '1:0-ism' team, and Tony Tangen is a conservative coach, but in this game we saw the forest team constantly attacking.

”

"I don't care what tactics I use. As long as the team can win, it doesn't matter to me whether it's defensive and counterattack or full attack or defense."

"About Anelka, there are many rumors about his transfer now..."

"Ah...this. I still say the same thing, as long as there is a team that can offer a price that satisfies us, that's not a problem."

"So convenient to reveal what the price you can accept?"

"It depends on my mood." Tang En smiled sly. "Okay, I have to leave. Let's see you at Athens, the reporter of Tang Da."

"There is one round in the semi-finals!" Tang Jing shouted from behind.

Tang En looked back at her and said, "Do you want to make a bet?"

Tang Jing thought for a while and shook her head.

Don't laughed and walked away.

Not long after this game ended, news from the other two arenas came at the same time. Due to the influence of the Champions League, Chelsea and Manchester United's 35th league round was delayed to May 10, so the two teams are now playing one game less than the Forest.

In the 36th round of the game, both teams were tied by their respective opponents.

"Get out?" When Donn heard the news from Chris Lack, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the news he heard.

"That's right. A draw!" Chris Lark nodded with excitement. "Chelsea draws Newcastle 0:0 away, and Manchester United tied 1:1 at home by Middlesbrough! Neither team sent all the main players, and they rotated as much as us."

After getting the exact answer, Tang En was not happy at all. Instead, he frowned tightly.

For him, is this good news or bad news? It's not accurate now.

Want to know why Chris Lark is so excited?

Let’s look at the league standings so far.

After defeating Manchester United 2-0 in the 33rd round, Nottingham Forest accumulated 70 points, Chelsea accumulated 76 points, and Manchester United scored 78 points.

It was this game that made Manchester United feel that the league championship was in danger, and Chelsea saw the hope of defending the league championship again, which made Abramovich's heart begin to ripple.

This is a game that Don En set up desperately. The purpose is to make Chelsea and Manchester United fight for a league championship, so they have no time to take care of the Champions League. The so-called "crowns and clams fight, fisherman gains profit."

Judging from the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, he succeeded.

If the situation continues to develop like this, Nottingham Forest, the "fisherman" will not take long to reap the profits.

But...

Looking at the results of these two games, Don murmured: "Has Mourinho and Ferguson agreed on this?"

After 36 rounds, Chelsea and Manchester United play one less game, each with 80 points and 82 points. And Nottingham Forest has defeated Charlton, West Ham United and Watford one after another. Currently, it has 79 points...

Is "The Legend of the Two Cities" going to become "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

Originally, after the victory of this game, Liverpool and Arsenal, fourth, fifth, were nine points and eleven points away from Forests, and Don was preparing to be substituted in the last two rounds. Let the main players rest and prepare for the Champions League.

In this way... even if he still wants the team to rest, will the club's senior management, coaching staff, and the players themselves agree?

Chris Lack next to him was excitedly talking to the other coaches sitting next to him about the two games that had just ended, and the phone in Donn's pocket rang.

After looking at the name of the caller on the screen, Tang En sighed and answered the call.

"Mr. Chairman."

"What's wrong? It sounds like you're not too happy, Tony. Haha!" Evan Dogette's excited voice came from the other end. "Do you know the latest game result?"

Of course, Don En knew what game he was talking about. "I know, Chelsea and Manchester United were tied." He tried to keep his voice down and did not want to attract the attention of others in the car.

"We are only two points away from the first in the league. This is an unexpectedly good situation!"

"But Manchester United and Chelsea both play one less game than us, Mr. Chairman."

"Of course I know, but one of the fewer games they played was the fight between the two sides - Chelsea vs. Manchester United at home. The season finally started to be interesting at the end. Do you know what my first thought was after knowing this point situation?"

"League Champion." Tang En said the word in a very calm tone.

He heard Evan snap his fingers on the other end of the phone. "Yes! Tony, four seasons have been around, and we have never been as close to the league championship as we are today... Don't you want to do something?"

Don En looked at the people around him, and everyone was talking about the two games between Chelsea and Manchester United just ended. Even the players knew about it, and they were all dancing.

"Mr. Chairman, it's not convenient to say now. When I arrive in Nottingham, I will go to you specifically."

"Okay, come to my house tomorrow morning. At 9:30, I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Tang En found that Tang was sitting next to him at some point.

"The chairman hopes to win the league championship, right?" he asked.
