Chapter 71 Still Unbeaten
Chapter 71 Still undefeated
The Champions League has entered the semi-finals for three consecutive years. This is a very amazing result. Even if he cannot win the Champions League in the end of this season, Tony Donn also let his name be engraved in the history of the Champions League. His prestige in Nottingham Forest is at its peak. Outside England, when people mention "Nottingham Forest", they only say that Tony Donn is a team alone, but they don't know who the real boss of this club is. He became the image spokesperson of Nottingham Forest. When it comes to Tony Donn, they will naturally think of Nottingham Forest. When it comes to Nottingham Forest, the first person they think of Tony Donn, not those stars.
He was proud on the court, and Donn was also the winner outside the court. Just after the Champions League match, Armani announced that Tony Donn became their national advertising spokesperson in the UK. A large photo of Tony Donn wearing an Armani windbreaker appeared in stores in major shopping malls.
This was a matter that had been decided long ago, but it had not been made public. Armani Company has been looking for a suitable opportunity to announce that it is obviously a good opportunity to advance to the semi-finals in the Champions League. Before that, Tang En took the time to take a few sets of photos, and then used it. It made Tang En feel ashamed. Although this matter had been willing a year ago, it was only recently that Shania, who was far away in the United States, was completely caused by Shania who was far away in the United States. This is his own business, Shania is more concerned than him...
Speaking of Xianya, the little girl lives in the United States. Because she had some friends in the entertainment industry before, she is not a rookie who first went to Hollywood. She has many people to take care of her wherever she is. Don't worry about this - he can't worry about it even if he wants to, and the entertainment industry is not his field.
Shania likes movies very much. She likes it very much. She doesn't have much resistance to busy work like she walks the show. She is in Hollywood. In addition to sometimes flying around the world to promote fashion products for herself, she has been living in Hollywood for more time and making contact with famous movie stars. Another very important task is to take classes - the performance class arranged by her agent Mr. Fassar. Since she decided to try the movie industry, necessary homework is always indispensable.
Shania was very enthusiastic, and she was not in a low mood during the phone chat with Tang En. This was the thing that made Tang En most relieved. He was afraid that this little girl would play with a childish temper. Fasar was difficult to deal with.
The only shame is that for the sake of career convenience, Shania will settle in the United States for a period of time and will not be able to return to the UK.
After Shania settled in the United States, the happiest person was Beckham's wife Victoria. Although her husband chose to go back to the UK rather than to the United States in the last moment against her wishes, she temporarily compromised, but in fact she never stopped thinking about the United States. She wanted to go to a colorful world like Hollywood, which was no longer news. Beckham didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, she had a career and her wife also had a career.
Sometimes Victoria would fly to the United States to find Shania, and then lead her to meet other Hollywood stars.
At this time, Beckham became a lonely man, and he was sympathetic and sympathetic like Tang En.
The Champions League has entered the semi-finals, and the next game will be until the end of April. Tony Donne has nearly a month to conduct league strategy. The competition for league championships has entered a white-hot spot:
After the 33rd round of the league on April 5th, Nottingham Forest ranked second with 76 points, Manchester United ranked first with 77 points, and Arsenal ranked third with 70 points. These three teams are basically the most promising to win the league championship.
Although Chelsea has changed its head coach, it seems that their results in the league have not improved at all. Now they are being pushed out of the top four by Liverpool. Their league goal is no longer to win the league championship, but to strive to qualify for the Champions League next season...
The winner of the league championship for two consecutive years has fallen to such a level. It makes people sigh. But this is how professional football is. There is no permanent general in the world, and there will always be a tide when the tide goes up and down.
Compared with the league's results, Chelsea was surprisingly firm in the Champions League.
Originally, after Mourinho was dismissed, everyone thought that Chelsea would face a complete collapse and a major defeat in the league and the Champions League. Even if they have already qualified in the group, they will definitely not go far in the knockout stage.
Tony Tangen just thinks so. Of course, he thinks so with some of his own subjective emotions...
But he is really not optimistic about Grant's coaching ability. The unstable performance in the league confirms this. The firmness in the cup has overturned this view.
Three teams from the Premier League in this Champions League are from Tony Donndi Nottingham Forest. The other team is Manchester United from Ferguson, and the remaining team is Chelsea led by Grant.
They all led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Tony Donn was praised, while the voice surrounding Grant was still "skeptical". It was simple. The opponent that Forest defeated in the quarterfinals was the powerful Real Madrid, while Chelsea's opponent was a team like Fenerbahce. Putting aside the home factor, this team's strength was the last among the eight teams.
Therefore, Chelsea's victory cannot be convinced. And there is a saying that is popular among the media and fans that Grant's achievements are based on Mourinho, so there is nothing to praise. Because the lineups Grant is using are basically the same as Mourinho, and Shepchenko is still sitting on the bench. Judging from the game, there is also a strong Mourinho style. The team's training may still be based on Mourinho's arrangement when he was in office...
You said, how could any achievements achieved in such a context be convincing?
So Grant has a very bad relationship with the English media. Although Mourinho has had many disputes with the media, in general, the media likes Mourinho as a topic, and Grant cannot create any topics for the media. He is always taciturn, does not trigger a war of words with other coaches, and is not handsome. He is not an idol of middle-aged and elderly women. He is an ordinary team head coach. Such a person inherits Mourinho's position. Compared with the two, Grant is indeed disappointing...
Let’s look at another person, Tony Don. For the English media, having Tony Don is like celebrating festivals every day. Real Madrid, which just sent away the war of words between the two countries, attracted Chelsea, which had always been resentful.
Do you still remember the series of storms caused by Mourinho's resignation? Tony Tang En, who had nothing to do with it, became the protagonist, but the media just liked it. While criticizing Tang En openly on their respective positions, he spoke without restraint. Without passing through his brain, he also looked at Tony Tang En's brain cramps several times so that they could have a circulation.
In the 34th round of the league, Nottingham Forest challenged Chelsea away. The media were excited like wild dogs in heat.
Grant was unwilling to talk more about his grudges with Don Endi. In fact, they had no grudges, just Tang En's words at that time, "Who is that?"
But the media refused to let Grant say something about it. The questions raised around him had nothing to do with the team. They were all like "How about Tony Done".
Later, Grant couldn't bear it anymore and roared at these media: "When I first took office, you always talked about Mourinho. Now you talked about Tony Donne. Are you here to interview me or those two people? I know you compare me with Mourinho, but I think I've done a good job - leading the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League! What does it have to do if I don't have the ideal ranking in the league?"
His sudden outbreak caused an uproar among the reporters.
Since it had already exploded, Grant simply finished saying: "Why are we not in a good position in the standings? What else can I explain? I can only do my job well. But in fact, when I accepted the team, we were already too many points behind the leader. After that, we had to chase other teams, which was quite difficult. What else do you want? You think Mourinho is not as good as me, so why is it me who is sitting here for interviews now? Instead of him?"
The smell of attacking Mourinho in this sentence is already very, very strong.
When the media had been criticizing Grant for not being as good as Mourinho, he did not see him refuting it. Unexpectedly, his first counterattack was so naked. He said this, aren’t he afraid of offending the power in the locker room? Everyone knows that his ability to manage the locker room is low and he can’t suppress the big names at all. Now he says this undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire. Could it be that just leading the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League, he has made his back hard?
After saying this, Grant stood up and left.
As soon as he left, Don Eun came in and watched Grant leave with a sarcastic smile on his face. He had heard Grant's whole process outside the door before. He thought Grant's words were ridiculous, and the way he shifted the blame to his ex was too technical.
He decided to infuriate the other party further.
"When I took over Nottingham Forest in the second half of the Championship, the team ranked fourth from the bottom, and we will return to the Premier League in half a season." He said with a smile, "I hope to use this story to encourage Coach Grant. "When I take over this team, which is the number one in this team? Only incompetent people will use it as an excuse... Ah, of course I am not saying that Mr. Grant is incompetent. Please don't distort my words anymore. You must know that you can lead the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League. But the amazing results... If I were Grant, I would give up the league. Focus on preparing for the Champions League, anyway, Chelsea will definitely not win the league this season."
Although what he said was true and his suggestions were very reasonable. But to Chelsea fans, anyone could say that, but Tony Don't do it. He said it was a naked provocation.
Whether Grant was further irritated was unknown before the game, because he was not interviewed and no one knew what he was thinking.
Until the game, Donn got the answer - Grant was furious and wanted to settle the score with Donn.
Chelsea tried their best to attack at home, intending to defeat Nottingham Forest. In fact, whether it angered their head coach or not, Chelsea would not let Nottingham Forest go in vain at home.
The two sides have accumulated deep enough grudges in recent years. What Tang En did was just to add firewood to the strong fire.
If Chelsea wants to attack, Nottingham Forest will defend. The defensive counterattack is what the Forests do well in doing. Done is still afraid that Chelsea will not attack. Now it's fine.
No matter how strong Chelsea's offensive is, Nottingham Forest, who is used to this kind of scene, is patiently dealing with Chelsea amid the booings of the sky. The defensive counterattack must be defended first. The Chelsea fans in the stands tried every means to insult and stimulate Nottingham Forest, but Don't be moved.
This game basically consists of Chelsea surrounding Forests' offense and defense at halftime. The score has always been 0:0.
At the end of the ten minutes, Grant suddenly figured it out - for the current Nottingham Forest, the only result they can accept is to win, because they bite very tightly with Manchester United, and if they don't win, they may lose hope of winning the championship. Then even a draw will probably be a failure for Don Eun. And I can accept the draw, since that's the case...
He decided to let the team stop attacking, and dealing with the Forest team, getting a point was enough to make Tang En furious. For this person who disrespects his opponent, the best revenge he can't get the result he wants the most.
Just to revenge on his opponent, Grant was already at a disadvantage in his realm.
At this moment, Donn replaced two attacking players in one breath, Alshaven and Petrov, replaced the exhausted full-back Rafinia and Leiden Barnes, and withdrew George Wood to play three central defenders with Pepe and Kompani. The Forest team changed the transformation of Qian and was beaten passively, and began to take the initiative to attack, and dared to invest troops when attacking - except for the three central defenders, everyone went up. It was no longer the pitiful way that only two or three people participated in a counterattack.
The defensive pressure was eased, and Nottingham Forest's offense began to show its strength.
This sudden change of formation was unexpected by Chelsea. Forest suddenly strengthened the offensive and made them unable to withstand it.
In the 87th minute, Chelsea, who had attacked for 80 minutes, became a backdoor.
1:0!
Arshavin shouted.
Chapter completed!
