The European Super Cup is a traditional event held since 1972.

It has been said before that Nottingham Forest is the European champion because they are the European Champions League winners. But at Liverpool, Liverpool fans also think they are the European Champions League because their team has just won the UEFA Cup.

In this way, there are two more European champions, but there must be only one champion, and there can only be one. What should I do? Then there is a game between the champions of these two events to determine the final winner. This method has a bit of the meaning of "king among kings". Everyone is the king, but which king is stronger? I believe many fans will be very interested in the answer to this question.

Initially, Europe had three major cup matches, the European Champions League, the European Cup, and the European League Cup.

As the name suggests, the European Champions League is a cup competition that only national league champions can participate in. This is the most valuable champion and the honor that countless wealthy teams have always dreamed of.

The European Winners Cup is participated by the champions of various countries, second to the Champions League.

The League Cup has the shortest history. Its predecessor is the "Expo Cup". Participating teams is neither a league champion nor a cup champion, but a few teams other than cup champions and league champions. The last quota of each national league is different.

The European Super Cup was originally a match between the Champions League and the Champions League of the Winners League. Later, when entering the 21st century, UEFA believed that as weak teams from various leagues squeezed into the Champions League, the level of the Champions League of Nations had decreased and the attractiveness was reduced, and it could no longer attract richer sponsors. So it carried out a cup reform, merged the Champions League of Nations and the Champions League, and canceled the Champions League of Nations Cup, a 38-year-old cup. Instead, the Champions League of Nations Cup was replaced.

Nowadays, the two participating teams in the European Super Cup have become Champions League champions and League Cup champions. The Super Cup competition system has also changed from home and away games to a single game decisive victory in the previous two rounds. The venue of the game has been held in Monaco since 1998.

Monaco is indeed a beautiful country, with blue seas and blue skies, and there are always various luxury yachts parked in the port. Only real rich people are qualified to enjoy it. For people like Donn, he has no money to raise a yacht, and even Shania is not enough. Among the people he knows. Perhaps only Wood's agent Billy Woods is most likely to own a private yacht.

Monaco is most famous for motorsports, and Monte Carlo is the famous F1 track. Before becoming the head coach, Donn's understanding of Monaco came from two aspects, one was racing and the other was football.

Monaco also has its own professional football club and participates in the French Football League. It is not a force that can be ignored in French football. The one that Donn impressed them the most was that former Real Madrid striker Morientes was loaned to Monaco. Then in the knockout match of the European Champions League, he scored a goal to complete the revenge of Real Madrid who abandoned him - his goal helped Monaco eliminate Real Madrid.

After the game, Morientes comforted his good friend Raul's shot made Done unforgettable.

It was a legendary Champions League. The two teams that entered the finals were not the most famous and powerful teams in Europe at that time. That cup made two young coaches - Monaco's head coach Frenchman Deschamps and Portugal's land head coach Mourinho. In the end, Mourinho laughed to the end. After winning the Champions League, he himself completed the triple jump from the league championship to the League Cup, and then to the European Champions League, becoming the hottest head coach in Europe. Everyone knows the story after that.

The same thing happened to Donn last season. Donn, who led the team to complete a triple jump from the First Division to the Super League, and then to the Champions League championship, also completed a triple jump that was no less than Mourinho. Considering that he was in the more competitive and stronger Premier League, it might be more difficult than Mourinho at that time. Today, Tony Donn has become the hottest young head coach in Europe. It is nothing strange for a head coach with high achievements. This industry depends on experience and wisdom, and wisdom and experience rely on time-age-change land. The older head coaches have more experience and wisdom. Think about Ferguson, Wenger, Capello, Scolari, Bosque, Aragones... Which one is not up at the age of fifty, and their white hair makes them look more wise.

In the coaching circle, in their forties, they are considered young coaches, and if they are players, they may be called "old". Mourinho was over forty years old when he won the Champions League, but Tang En was under forty years old. It is difficult to not attract attention without anyone's attention. The young coaches succeeded. It means that they have more glorious years to look forward to than the old man. The old man will always grow old, and by then this football world will be the world of young people. Tang En doesn't mind using his age advantage to dominate the world for another 30 to 40 years...

After Nottingham Forest won the Champions League, some Forest fans were worried that a mogul like Abramovich would poach their "leaders" with high salaries. Mourinho also relied on Porto to win the Champions League and jumped to the more advanced Premier League.

In response, Tang En once promised in front of more than 30,000 live fans and countless TV viewers during the celebration that night that night that he promised that he would not leave the forest. He did not say "I will not leave during the contract period" or "I will not leave for many years in the future", he said "I will never leave."

He has indeed received coaching invitations from some clubs, hoping to invite him to coaching in those teams.

The most famous of these is Real Madrid.

Chairman Calderon and Real Madrid fans both thought Capello's Real Madrid was too rigid and had no artistic football style. So after winning the league championship, he swept Capello out. So when Don En received this invitation, he felt ridiculous and terrifying. Can his football be better than Capello? Nottingham Forest has been criticized by European media for being ugly football and a representative of negative football. Letting a team like Nottingham Forest win the Champions League is simply a regression in modern football... Wait, how could Calderon fall in love with him?

So Don Eun used the invitation as a joke and did not reply to the other party at all. Shortly afterwards, he heard that Real Madrid finally took Shuster and they paid Getafe a penalty. Getafe agreed to release the person.

That's right. Shuster played pretty football when coaching a small team. He used to be a Real Madrid player, and he is the most suitable coach for Real Madrid. I, Don Eun, don't join in the fun...

Monaco is a very beautiful coastal city, but the Forest Team is not here for vacation. They came to Monaco two days in advance to do training to adapt to the venue. Their lives in these two days are hotels and stadiums at two points.

The hotel where Liverpool is staying is not far from the hotel where Forests is located, and it only takes twenty minutes to walk - Monaco is originally a pocket country. The narrowest place in the north and south is only 200 meters.

The residence is so close that you may encounter it even if you go out for a walk.   The teams of both sides are now at a strife after being hotly hyped by the media.                                                                                                      �

At this time, this person who has been scolded by countless Liverpool people billions of times was sitting in the hotel lobby, drinking coffee while accepting interviews from Chinese media groups, which seemed very leisurely.

Why is it called a "media group"? Because there are more than one media reporter. There are ten people around Tang En, all of them from Chinese journalists. Since the World Cup in Germany, Tang En and the newspapers where Tang Jing work have been writing contracts, so he and many Chinese media have known each other. During this year's Asian Cup, he scolded the Chinese team from the Football Association to the player, which caused a stir in China. But after all, it was only a response in China, and Tang En didn't take it seriously, and followed the media and fans.

This interview was made a good place since the Asian Cup. He was just fulfilling his promise.

The reporters asked a wide range of questions, including the Super Cup that will start tomorrow, the previous Asian Cup, and some private hobbies of Tang Endi...for example, why he likes Chinese culture so much.

Tang En answered their questions in Chinese very freely and lived up to the addiction of speaking "native language".

A Chinese reporter reminded him with great sincerity: "The competition is coming soon, Coach Tang En, aren't you worried about tomorrow's game?"

Tang En was a little amused and crying: "I am worried or not and it has nothing to do with me accepting your interview here, right?"

"As far as I know, Coach Benitez is busy studying opponent data at this time."

"That's just because you don't know when we are studying the opponent's place." Tang En's face became sluggish. He suspected that this unsightly reporter was here to deliberately smash the situation.

It was better for Tang Jing to come out quickly and smooth things over.

"Coach Don Eun, can you make a vision for tomorrow's game?"

Tang En stood up. This was the last question. He didn't spend so much time playing word games with reporters. "Optimization? What's the best thing to expect? Of course we will win." After saying that, he grinned and made a victory gesture. The photojournalists cooperated very much to press the camera shutter in their hands.

The interview ended. Tang En shook hands with the reporters and said goodbye. He was going back to his room to prepare for the evening tactical meeting.

"Tell me more good things in front of Chinese readers. I know that my reputation in China now doesn't seem to be very good." He said jokingly. It made all the reporters laugh. "Maybe I still have a chance to go to China in the future. Everyone should take care of you then!"

He clasped his fists and arched his hands and made a very Chinese-style move.

Then he turned around and left.

Is he talking about a joke? Some people think it is, some people think it is not, such as Tang Jing.

There is a Chinese player in the Nottingham Forest, a Chinese assistant coach, and a head coach who loves Chinese culture and chooses to take vacations in China twice... How could such a team closely linked to China ignore China's "virgin land"?

Real Madrid has been to China, Barcelona has also been to it, Manchester United, Chelsea... The Premier League is even more loyal to the development of the Asian market. These teams have all come, so will the new European champion be far away?

She is looking forward to it.

Tang En did not go back to his room, he walked straight into Tang's room, where the coaches were all present, discussing related issues at the tactical meeting in the evening. Seeing Tang En come in, everyone just looked up and continued to work on their way, and no one cared about it.

Tang stood up to greet him.

“How is the interview?”

"It's much better to deal with than the British media." Donn glanced at the room, "I'm still discussing?"

"It's basically gone, there's just some divergent discussions." Tang introduced.

Divergent discussion refers to the issue not about this game, but is derived from this. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is "off topic", but this off topic is more professional...

The coaching staff believed that Benitez would choose a more modest tactic in this game. That is, not to focus on defense, nor to emphasize offense, but to patiently deal with the Forest team, even if it delays the penalty shootout. Then the topic begins and runs to Benitez, what he likes, what habits he has, and what impact does Spain have on the football tactics he chooses. After all, Spanish football philosophy is completely different from English football philosophy.

Then, he continued to run and came to the tradition of Liverpool's team, and the topic quickly changed again. This time, Don became the protagonist. Everyone was discussing that Don was alone and half of Liverpool City's population (meaning Liverpool fans) had a verbal battle.

This time, I saw Tang En sitting next to me, and everyone discussed and looked at Tang En and laughed.

Chris Lark is still making jokes about Donn, telling him not to travel to Liverpool for the rest of his life, otherwise there may be personal danger.

Done sat aside. Without joining their off-topic conference, his mind moved upstream with these people's discussions and stopped on the topic of Benitez.

As the head coach, studying a team will naturally start with his peers. He knows Benitez very well. Thanks to the developed information communication technology, he can easily know a lot of things he wants to know.

Like him, Benitez is a master of tactics and a head coach who is good at on-the-spot command. Do you still remember the 2004-2005 European Champions League final? Benitez took over Liverpool's first season. He created the Miracle Night in Istanbul.

After that, Don Eun is no longer the former Wuxia Amon, Nottingham Forest often wins against Liverpool, and the two sides are no longer the relationship between the strong and the newly promoted team.

The best thing about Tang En is that he is never infected with the "phobia" in the bad habits of Chinese football, so he will not have any boring psychological shadows just because he once lost to an opponent, and then he is always tripped by the same stone. He is a person who believes in the struggle philosophy of "if someone slapped me, I will slap back a hundred slaps". To put it nicely, it is "those who violate my power will be punished even if they are far away", and to put it bluntly, it is called "revengeful revenge"...

Benitez is a steady head coach, so before the game, Donne tried every means to provoke his verbal battle against Liverpool and dragged Espanyol into the water. But will Benitez really be affected?

He did not reply to Don En's provocations and insults to him in the media, and only talked about the competition and not the others when he was interviewed.

It seems that Tang En's psychological tactics are ineffective for him?

No, whether it is really ineffective will not be known until the competition.

Don Eun came back from his meditation and his coaches had already run the topic from Earth to Mars. A group of people are enthusiastically discussing a fat civilian star who has been very popular in the UK recently, Paul Potts, who made a big splash in the elective program of "British Genius".

"Okay, guys. If nothing is wrong, you should go back. Don't you think it's too crowded?" Done stood up and clapped his hands to interrupt their discussion. "After supper, inform the players to have a meeting." He said to Chris Lak.

Chris Lack nodded, he didn't leave immediately: "What else?"

"Remind them to take a break early today."

After explaining this, Chris Lark and other coaches walked out.

Then Tang stood in front of the sofa and looked at Tang En who was sitting down: "Don't you go back to your room?"

Tang En was stunned by the question, then he looked up and looked around, saying oh. "So this is your room..."

Tang was so amused that he pushed him out. “I will call you during dinner. You’d better take a break now. I see you are tired and confused.”

Tang En walked back to his room with "I'm used to living with you."
