On March 20, Nottingham Forest's 38th round opponent was their arch-rival Derby`County.

However, when it comes to this opponent, many Nottingham Forest fans are in love and hate and have complex feelings. In terms of club relationships, Forest and Derby County are rival clubs, but the person who came out of the Derby County Club is the most popular and respected in the history of Forest Club. That person is coach Brian`Clough, who created the most glorious chapter in the history of Nottingham Forest Club.

Donn knew very little about past history, and he couldn't understand why Derby County became enemies with the Forest. It was Walker who told him one of the reasons: "In 1898, Derby County reached the FA Cup final for the first time, and their opponent was our Forest. The score of that game was 3:1, we won them, we won the first FA Cup championship in club history, and the Derby County people went home crying."

Tang En smacked his tongue. It's been more than a hundred years, and he still misses his old grudges. It's really a hundred years of grudges... sigh, when will the revenge be repaid? We must be tolerant and harmonious...

※※※

The ninety-minute game ended. Tang En looked at the scoreboard and listened to the harsh booing from the stands of Pride Park Stadium. Tang En knew that the century-old grudge between the Forest and Derby County had to continue. It was precisely because of countless people who pursued victory like himself that this situation could last for a hundred years.

The score on the electronic scoreboard is 0:3. According to international common rules, the home team is in front and the away team is in back.

The Forests scored three goals and three points at Derby County at home, reducing Derby County, the 20th ranked one, only one away from the relegation zone.

If Derby County is finally relegated this season, then the Forests' performance in this game will definitely "remember a great contribution".

But Don Eun never cares about his opponent's life or death. His team won the game away and won completely, which is the best thing.

Hailewood scored two goals, the other goal was scored by Andy Reed. Hailewood's performance in the second half of the season is completely different from the first half of the season, and he even has a chance to compete for the best scorer in the League One.

The only shortcoming of this game is that both main players in the defense will be absent in the next round. Michael Dawson was suspended for accumulating yellow cards, while his central defender partner Jon Olav Hjelde was injured at the last moment of the game. After the game, according to team doctor Fleming's diagnosis, an ankle sprain may take two weeks off.

Tang En didn't take this situation seriously, and it just gave the substitutes the opportunity to go on the court to exercise, and also gave the main players a rest. Why not? Anyway, Hagerd was not seriously injured.

Edwards performed very well against Wimbledon and was fully qualified to start. The 21-year-old Scottish defender Chirs`Doig was actually not too weak.

But the training began twenty minutes the next afternoon, when Don't En's personnel rotation plan was declared bankrupt. Doig fell in pain during a not-fever physical confrontation, pressing his hands on his knees.

Tang En turned his head and looked at Gary Fleming, the team leader not far away next to him. He saw Fleming's brows flirting together, so his heart tightened.

Fleming rushed up to check for Doig's injury, then ran to Donn and whispered to him: "Crusade ligament, at least two months."

"What a fuck..." Done lowered his head and cursed in a low voice. Two months basically meant that Doig had bid farewell to this season. The season will end in May, and today it is March 21st. "Gary, take him to the medical room and treat him well. Give him confidence."

Fleming nodded, called a stretcher, and carried the painful Doig off the field.

Because of his injury and training was terminated, Tang En signaled the team to continue training and he had to go to the youth training base. There were no available central defenders in the first team, so let's see how the kid performed after the youth team changed to a new position.

※※※

The youth base is much quieter than the first team base. There are not many fans who come here to watch players' training, and most of them are their own families. Only when youth competitions are held here will the popularity be more popular. At that time, there will be many scouts from other teams who come here to watch the game. The youth training of the Forest team is well-known throughout England, and it is normal to have scouts.

Tang En did not go around the fan viewing area outside the barbed wire, so he took the shortcut directly - directly into the training ground from the office area.

When Chris Lack saw Donn coming again, he greeted him and smiled, "Come on the guy you picked up from the street again?"

Tang En shook his head: "Not this time. I'm in trouble, David."

"Let's say it. It's not easy to get our best coach into trouble."

Tang En smiled helplessly. Since he won a best coach, many people in the club have teased him. "The first team has five central defenders, one of them has accumulated yellow cards, one has an ankle injury and a two-week absence, and one has just suffered a cruciate ligament injury during training, and is absent for at least two months."

Chris Lack also frowned: "That's really troublesome. There are two more, enough to hold on to a game, where is Dawson?"

"He is the one who has accumulated a suspension."

Chris Lark whistled.

"Suggest me, what can you use here?" Tang En spoke as if he was picking things in the domestic vegetable market.

"It just so happens that there is a guy who is very good. I think he should go to a more advanced game to exercise. But... you have to choose it yourself." Chris Lack winked at Donne.

This is actually what Paul Hart often asked his assistant coaches to do when he was in the youth team, letting them watch the team training themselves, and then telling what they have observed. He used this method to train Don and Chris Lack and others' observation skills and understanding of training classes. This game-like exercise lay a solid foundation for Don't later coach the youth team alone and to promote the team. Because others disdained this method, they believed that the players should be trained, not coaches. Only Don't be quiet at the time and was introverted at the time completed Hart's request meticulously. This is also one of the reasons why Hart values ​​Don't very much. Hart believes that "seriousness" is the basis for all success, which is his life creed. However, few people can do this, but Tony Don, an unsociable Eastwood man, did it.

Now Tang En no longer remembers these things. Many memories of the past disappeared with that collision. He didn't know the reason for Chris Lack to do this. He regarded this as a game between old friends, and he bet right.

The two head coaches stood on the sidelines, which gave great motivation to the young men training on the court. After that game, Tony Donn did not draw one person from the youth team, but this would not affect the confidence and vision of the youth players. All they could do was to show their best side on the court and attract the first-team head coach to keep his eyes on him.

After watching it for about ten minutes, Donn turned his head and amused Chris Lack in his first words.

"Why didn't you see George Wood?"

"You really came for him, Tony."

Amid Chris Lack's laughter, Donn scratched his head embarrassedly, and he just said it smoothly.

"I'm asking him to train alone in the second venue. Start with the most basic and simple exercises, the simplest...it's so simple that it can't be simpler."

"How is he doing?"

"I can't see it yet. But you're right, Tony. He's more suitable for those positions that require physical strength and physical collision. His good health makes people jealous. What did he eat when he was a child?"

Tang En thought of the situation at Wood's house and shrugged: "Who knows, maybe his mother couldn't even squeeze out a drop of milk at that time..." This kid was so strong, it must be because Sophia, who was a mother, poured everything... the most delicious and nutritious food, all her love, hope, and even the essence of life into the illegitimate child.

"Okay, let's go back to the topic... I've been off topic by you, David. I've found the person I want." Tang En did not point to the training ground, but his eyes were always on one person, a dark-skinned bald man. During more than ten minutes of training, he showed almost all the skills needed for an excellent central defender. "No. 6, I'm going to. Let him report with me to the first team now."

Chris Lack smiled and said, "Tony, you really deserve to be the person Hart values ​​the most. Yes, the one I want to recommend to you is him. Wes`Morgan, a 19-year-old guy. He is the captain of the youth team, and he is the class of Jermaine Jenas and Michael Dawson." After introducing the player, Chris Lack shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Wes! Come here!"

Then everyone watched the captain running towards the two head coaches with envious eyes.

"Others - keep training!" Chris Lack roared again, and the young men were honest. They knew that Coach Donn had achieved his goal of coming here.

Mogan ran to the two head coaches excitedly, "Sir, what's the matter?" In fact, he already knew what would be waiting for him.

Tang En looked up at him. His face looked more mature than his actual age, and seemed to be bigger than Dawson. "How tall are you, boy."

"Six feet and two inches, sir." Mogan spoke a little, as if he hadn't recovered from a cold. This sound really matched his appearance.

Tang En nodded, about 1.88 meters tall. He continued to ask: "Weight?"

"One hundred and ninety-eight pounds, sir."

About ninety kilograms. This figure... is like a heavy tank. Tang En is very satisfied. He wants such a player. Just looking at his appearance can cause psychological pressure to his opponent.

"Ok, Wes. I'm not a nonsense person. Starting today, you train with the first team and if you perform well, you'll get a first team contract, just like Michael Dawson and Andy Reed. Do you understand?"

Mogan nodded: "I understand, sir."

He didn't talk much, and he didn't get so excited about being promoted to the first team. Tang En liked this calm personality, which is one of the most important qualities of a defensive player.

"Very good, come with me...uh, you go to the locker room to get things first. Do you have something to put there?"

"Only a few clothes, sir."

"Go and get it, I'll give you three minutes."

Tang En just finished speaking, Mogan turned around and ran away.

Then Chris Lark spoke: "What do you think of him, Tony."

"Better than I thought before I came here. The strength, bounce, explosive power, and air control ability are excellent. But the first team is different from the youth team, you know... I came to find a firefighter. I think after these games, he will still become a substitute. Dawson and Hagerd's partner are already very tacit, and I can't break up theirs."

Chris Lack nodded in understanding: "If he doesn't have many opportunities to play at that time, lend me the Youth League."

"no problem."

While the two were talking, Mogan ran over with his clothes in his arms. "I'm ready, sir."

"let's go."

After saying goodbye to Chris Lack, Mogan followed Donn's footsteps. The two walked out of the training ground one after another.

The other players watched the lucky Morgan and Donn go out, but Chris Lak's roar immediately sounded: "Everything is given to me! Instead of enviing others, it's better to train yourself well!"
Chapter completed!
