Don Eun is indeed in crisis.

The first half was about to end, and his team fell behind 0:1 at home. The old man Scolari was different from his two exes, perhaps because of the personal wishes of his boss Abramovich. After Scolari came on stage, he emphasized ball control and so-called "beautiful football". As the new head coach, it is natural to please the club chairman.

But for Donn, his understanding of Chelsea will be overturned and started again.

At the beginning of this game, Chelsea launched a very fierce offensive away, and the fierceness completely exceeded the expectations of Nottingham Forest players.

Even if Chelsea replaces many head coaches, as long as the players are still these players, the hatred between them and Nottingham Forest will not fade in the slightest. It has just three months since the end of the European Champions League final, and it has not been long enough to make them forget who the opponent who lost the championship is.

The fierce offensive brought a goal.   The opening game was only thirteen minutes, and Chelsea, who played away, took the lead.

At this time, Nottingham Forest still didn't even shoot once in the opponent's fierce offensive round after round.

"Whose home court is this?" John Motterson asked such a question.

This is also Tang En's question.

When he met Chelsea, who had changed his new coach, he felt a little strange. Scolari's personality was as arrogant as any of his exes, but he was very honest before this game. Don En felt that he was trying to think of bad ideas.

It was just one first half, and the psychological advantages accumulated from the previous matchup with Chelsea are slowly disappearing. Donne thinks he should reevaluate the opponent in front of him. Because this Chelsea is no longer Mourinho's Chelsea, but "Big Phil". Chelsea in the Grant era still embraced Mourinho's style. As soon as Scolari came on stage, Mourinho's logo disappeared.

For example... with such a positive attitude towards the game, the way of seeking goals is indeed better than when Mourinho...

Abramovich wanted to watch beautiful football, so he fired Mourinho and Grant, who led the team to the finals of the Champions League. Scolari, who was born in Brazil, was invited. But... based on Donn's understanding of the Scolari in his memory, how long can such a scene last?

Now what Tang En is facing is a difficult problem. When he coached the Forest team, as long as the Forest team scored the first goal, the probability of winning in the end was as high as 87%. This is very consistent with the tactical characteristics of Nottingham Forest - scoring first, then defending and counterattacking. The goal can be scored will expand the lead, and you won’t lose the goal if you can’t score. 1:0 is also an acceptable good result.

And their opponents have only two choices in this situation - either becoming more and more anxious or waiting to die at will.

Now. Tang En is in the situation of his previous opponents. Which path should he choose?

During the break, he roared at the team, telling them that they must not lose to Chelsea at home, and asked them to play firmly on the wing. In addition, he asked Eastwood not to always run out of the penalty area to catch the ball. There are five people in the midfield and they will definitely pass the ball to his feet. If he is always too far away from the goal, how can he directly threaten Chelsea's goal?

Eastwood also has his own grievances in this regard. In the past, he always partnered with powerful centers like Van Nistruei, Bentner and Viduka. These centers are all about attracting the opponent's defensive firepower. Without much defensive pressure, he can attack freely near the penalty area, which naturally increases the threat.

Now? He has become the center, an arrowhead, and is being taken care of by the opponent's defender. He is pressing close to the powerful defender such as Terry. He has already spent almost all his energy to ensure that the football is not lost at his feet. How can he still shoot and score? What's more, his figure is not the material for the powerful center, and he often loses the ball when pressing at the opponent.

Don’t Tang En know about his grievances? Of course, Tang En knows, but now he has no choice. Who told him to put the Danish boy out of the big list in order to punish Bentner?

Even if he doesn't mention the grudge between himself and Chelsea, he will not allow the team to lose to Chelsea, because that would be equivalent to telling Bentner that his team would be unable to play if he lost him.

"I know you have difficulties, Freddy. We don't let you do an attacking point. As long as you can control the ball, you will leave the next work to..." He pointed at Ribery and Van der Fate, "You two actively stepped forward and shot more."

It is to let Eastwood create opportunities for the teammates who are in the back.

The Gypsy nodded, but he didn't know if he could accomplish the role of this "center". To be honest, he had no idea...

"Be patient and you will definitely find the gap in their defense. I think Scolari will continue to strengthen the offense in the second half, and there will definitely be problems with their defense line."

Chelsea did continue to attack in the second half, and there were loopholes in their defense. But similarly, the Nottingham Forest defense line, which is eager to equalize the score, also had problems.

In this game, Donn's double midfielder tactic was not successful in the midfield. George Wood's active range was as large as ever, but his running restricted Thiago's performance. With Wood doing everything himself, he was at a loss. This was the first time that the two of them appeared at the same time. It was understandable that they did not cooperate well enough.

So the performance of the two midfielders was not as good as setting a single midfielder.   Then Wood noticed the cooperation with Thiago coaching.    But a bigger problem came again - some balls that appeared between the two people, they would have a tacit understanding... They gave each other! They all thought that the ball was the opponent's.    Instead, they gave it to Chelsea players.

Chelsea are not polite either.

Drogba grabbed a misunderstanding between the two midfielders, made a single shot, easily broke through the thin defense line, and then successfully shot. In the 65th minute of the game, the visiting team Chelsea had already led the lead with two goals!

The Chelsea people celebrated on the court, and Scolari was also jumping off the court with his hands up like a monkey. And Tang En had a dark face.

Not long after conceding the ball, he made a substitution adjustment. Al Shavin replaced Thiago and returned to the single midfielder and the 442 configuration of a double striker. After returning to the familiar formation, the Forest team found the rhythm of the game again.

First Eastwood made the ball back to Van der Fate, and the Dutch followed up and shot directly and was saved by Cech's clone. Then the corner kick was taken and Pepe headed the ball on Ashley Cole who was standing on the goal line. The Nottingham Forest players raised their hands to signal the opponent's handball foul, but the referee did not see it and ignored the protests of the Forest players.

Don En pointed his eyes at the fourth official below to protest, which was useless. The referee could not stop the game in progress and award the Forest a penalty. And even if the TV cameras are played over and over again, it proves that Nottingham Forest suffered a loss. The referee will not change his penalty based on the TV camera, which is expressly prohibited by FIFA.

Without the high center forward, Tang En asked the team to take fewer high balls, play more ground to cooperate, and pass more balls behind him, so as to give full play to the speed advantage of several players in the team.

Scolari saw Donn's plan. At this time, he prompted the team to recover the formation - shrink the defense and not give Nottingham Forest a chance to play behind the scenes.

Nottingham Forest didn't care about defense anymore. Almost all the players pressed over and wanted to equalize the score.

But it was not until the 82nd minute that Nottingham Forest equalized the score with a free kick. The goal was Gareth Bale.

The Forests' counterattack became even more crazier, and Scolari had to dispatch troops to replace the forward. He replaced the defender in an attempt to defend this point advantage.

At this moment, he didn't care whether the scene was beautiful or not, and the most important thing was to score three points. From this point of view, Scolari is definitely not the kind of person who listens to the boss and plays "beautiful football" obediently.

Tang En sent Petrov to replace Ribery who could not run. This substitution was helpless... He originally wanted to replace a defender and play a third defender to continue to strengthen his attacking power. But Ribery was so tired that he couldn't run anymore - he fell to the ground and had a cramp in his left calf. This situation had never happened at the beginning of last season. It seemed that the negative impact of that busy summer was emerging...

The counter substitution did not bring any positive effects to the team's offense.

In the end, Nottingham Forest suffered its first defeat of the season in its first home game this season, losing to Chelsea 1:2. The unbeaten record against Chelsea since it was promoted to the Premier League has passed.

Tang En doesn't value the record. On the contrary, he thinks it's a good thing to break it. Otherwise, he will have to bear this inexplicable pressure every season when facing Chelsea.

But losing is definitely not a good thing. The first one in the league was lost, and the plan to start the home game this season was ruined. The most important thing was to lose face in front of Bentner. The failure of this game was equivalent to telling Bentner that the Forest team really couldn't play without him...

This is what annoyed Tang En the most.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter who deliberately made trouble deliberately asked why Bentner did not appear on the roster in this game, because according to his understanding, the Danish forward was neither injured nor in bad shape.

Tang En glanced at the female reporter with annoyance. He said, "He has hemorrhoids. Can you understand this?"

The female reporter teased Tang En but failed to tease him. She glared at Tang En with gritted teeth and sat down.

Leaving the city court. Donn called Allen Adams to inquire about Bentner's transfer.

In fact, if Forest wins this game, Done might change his mind and keep Bentner tough and show the high posture of a winner in front of him. But now that he loses the game, Bentner must leave, must leave. He can't tolerate a football player who laughs at him in his heart, his style stays under his nose, and he looks angry every day.

In this game, Bentner did not show up in the stands to watch the game, as if he had been no longer a member of Nottingham Woodland since this time.

He packed his luggage in the apartment and waited for the phone call with some anxiety. He was like a daughter who was elopement with her parents on her back. He could not hide his excitement and his longing for a better future. The TV was on, and Nottingham Forest was playing at home against Chelsea. He just glanced at him occasionally, and was not in the mood to care who won and who lost on the field.

Shortly after Chelsea scored his second goal, Yulic called him: "They promised to take you away, Nicklas."

When Bentner heard his agent say this, he sat on the sofa and had the leisure to watch the games on TV. After all, he was wearing a red jersey that he had been wearing for four years.

Seeing his teammates attacking wildly on the court, he was a little as clueless like a headless fly. He really didn't know what he should be. He rarely saw Nottingham Forest in such a mess, and seemed to have no way to score goals, except for long shots and long shots. Ribery and Lennon were forcibly breaking through, but facing Chelsea's gradually shrinking defense line, they had no choice. After breaking through, they just gave the ball to the opponent.

If you are on the court at this time, then the midfield can send the football to your head and feet. Whether it is shooting or making goals for your teammates, the Forest's offense will instantly be alive.

The TV broadcast footage cut to Tang En, who was standing on the sidelines to direct the game. He waved his arms to show the team how far the long shot. But it looked like he was already in a state of madness.

The media once gave Tang En a nickname "Joker", which is different from Aimal, which is obviously insulting. But Bentner sat in front of the TV today and found that the nickname was really "appropriate".

He is such a clown...

Before the game ended, Nottingham Forest scored a goal. But it didn't help the result. Don Eun quickly left the court with a gloomy face, and Bentner also turned off the TV and continued to pack up his own things.

Now, how about Nottingham Forest?   How about Tony Donn, it has nothing to do with him.

"Allen, what does Manchester City mean?" Don't know the latest transfer progress.

“No reply yet.”

"I wonder...Alan, would they think the price is too high?"

"No, Tony. Just like your reporter friend said, buy a Forest team's main center for 30 million yuan for the next ten years, and the price is fair. Don't worry about the matter here, leave it to me. I lost the game. What a pity."

Done grinned. Alan was a vague reminder that he should focus more on team training and games, rather than intrigue with other clubs, agents, and a certain star's dad in the transfer market?

"We are on the same level as Chelsea, and it is normal for whoever wins and loses. As long as the final championship is ours."

Alan laughed over there: "Haha! OK, we're all waiting for the final championship, Tony."

After hanging up the phone, Tang En then left the empty locker room and got on the bus.

"Go back and rest. Guys. This game reminds us all of us - this is the new season. Last season's double crown has nothing to say." In the carriage, Tang En spread his hands and said. "Forget the double crown. Now we are going to start from scratch!"

The day after the end of this league round, news came out from Manchester City and Nottingham Forest clubs at the same time.

Nottingham Forest's young center Nicklas Bentner officially transferred to Manchester City, signed for four years, earning 120,000 pounds a weekly salary of 30 million pounds.

The soap opera finally ended. Some people got it, and some people lost it. The people who got it also lost something while they got it, and the people who lost it... got nothing.

Tony Donne refused to make any comments on the transfer, and he was silent in several media columns. For those spectators who were far away from the whirlpool of the club's team, no one knew what kind of mood he felt at this moment, who had lost Van Nistrue's successor.

Should he be glad that he left a disobedient badboy, or should he have been in vain for four years of sad efforts?

Some people speculate that this silence is a proof of his sadness. One of the players he values ​​most can betray him. How can he not be sad?

In fact, they were all wrong. Don Eun was upset. Two important things were placed in front of him, making him frown. How about there was no time to care about the Danish boy? Bentner left and left. Will the earth stop turning if he didn't leave? Will Not win the championship in Nottingham Forest? Does Tony Don Eun drink and smoke?

The mid-week Super Cup and the embarrassment of having 30 million euros in transfer funds but no one can buy them - damn it, the transfer window is about to end!

But to be honest, when he is free occasionally, he does feel that this past summer seems like a dream. The person who once listened to his teachings on a team has now put on the jerseys of other teams, and meeting again will be the enemy.

Pique, Bentner...and those who had left long ago, Anelka, Ashley Young, Arteta.

How will they view their days in Nottingham Forest in recent years, and how will they evaluate their head coach?
