Chapter 118: Looking for revenge for thousands of miles

Being drawn with Inter Milan is just a good thing for Don En, and a bigger happy event has nothing to do with football - Shania is finally back.

Bachelor Tang En believes that he only has football in his life, and he doesn't care about anything except football. He is crazy about football, no less than the most hardcore fan. So after he became the head coach of Nottingham Forest, except going back to the bar to drink, other things are really no different from Tang. When he doesn't drink, he can lock himself at home for a whole day, pull up the curtains to watch the game video, and study the various notes left by Tang. He doesn't realize that time is flowing, and he can't even notice it when he is hungry.

But when he got married, his love for football was divided into half of his love for the family and his wife. Now he felt that in his life, there was finally another thing that was as important as football.

He was very happy that Shania was able to come back. After a day of work, she returned home and no longer had an empty and lifeless cement building.

Before getting married, Tang En worked hard because he liked football and this job. After getting married, he worked hard because he had responsibilities on his shoulders - men should support their families... Although Xianya earned no less money than Tang En, as the most authentic Chinese, Tang En still has some traditional Chinese men's mind in his bones, thinking that men should support their families, and this is the purpose of work.

There is a high hall above, children below, and a beautiful wife around you. No matter how hard the work is, it feels worth it.

Shania will not leave until May when she comes back. They have four months to enjoy the world of two people. Tang En wants to make up for all the time she owed before.

One of the important programs is naturally creating humans.

Tang En and Shaniya have been married for almost two years. Both of them work hard, but Shaniya still has no response. The revolution has not been successful yet, and comrades still need to work hard...

The first game after returning from the draw ceremony was the FA Cup. Before the game, some media asked about the draw results, worried that such a bad draw result would affect the performance of the Forest team. Don Neng denied that this was a "bad" result, and then led the team to defeat West Bromvic 2-0 at home in the fourth round of the FA Cup. It proved that the unreasonable speculations of those media were unreliable.

In the next February league, Nottingham Forest won two wins and tied with two draws and remained unbeaten, continuing to rank third in the league. The points gap between the top five in the league is not big. It seems that by the end of the season, any of these five teams won the championship is not an unexpected event.

The reason for two wins and two draws is that Tang Endi's new tactics still require time to adjust and adapt, so the team's performance also fluctuates with the ups and downs.

However, Don Eun does not attach great importance to the league, and even the FA Cup gave up in the fifth round. As the Champions League approaches, he begins to retain some in the league.

After all, he has already said the big talk in front of the media, and if he loses to Inter Milan next, this face will be a big loss...

March 1st is the day to play against Inter Milan away.   For Tony Donne, this is a "big day".

The team set off from Nottingham three days in advance and arrived at Milan City by plane. This city is not unfamiliar to Donn, but it is unfamiliar to many of the people in this forest team today.

When Tang En led his team here to fight Inter Milan, he tried his best to explain to Shania that there was actually nothing between him and Gronia. Now when he remembered it, he realized that he had cared about Shania since then?

Among the Forest players, the midfield is the most changeable. Thiago, Shaheen, Cohen, Bentley, and Fernandez have never experienced the last battle with Inter Milan.

The reason why the media are not optimistic about Nottingham Forest’s future in the Champions League this season is because it is in the midfield. Nottingham Forest’s strength has declined too much...

The Forest midfielder in the past can definitely be called a world-class place, with famous stars such as George Wood, Van der Fate, and Ribery. Today, the Forest midfielder's star taste has become much weaker and more popular. Look at the double midfielder and 4231 formation promoted by Tony Donn. Even if they increase the number of midfielders, they still cannot get rid of the evaluation of "blue-collar midfielder".

In comparison, Inter Milan's midfielder is much more luxurious. The midfielder composed of Cambiaso, Vieira, Montari, Stankovic, Montolivo, Mancini Jr., Quaresma, Mario Balotelli and others is much more famous than the Forest.

The comparison on the front line is even more pitiful...

Nottingham Forest does not even have a recognized world-class scorer. Van Nistroy is considered world-class, but he is not on the Forests' Champions League roster and cannot be compared. Eastwood's fame is limited to the UK. Even if he has won the bronze boots in the Premier League Scorer list, it cannot be explained.

Ibisevic is just a bright meteor, and Abanglaho is a typical rough guy who has no skills and can only rely on speed. Eastwood has too many injuries that have affected his pace toward world class.

Let's take a look at Inter Milan's side - Ibrahimovic, Adriano, and Giuseppe Rossi who transferred from Villarreal for 15.25 million pounds this season, and Cruz who came on the bench to score goals.

Even in terms of the defensive lineup that Don En is most proud of, Inter Milan is stronger than them.

Argentina's "rock" Samuel, Nickras Burdiso, Ivan Cordoba, Christian Ziwu, Macon, Marxville, and Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti, who is already thirty-eight years old but still in good condition.

Which of these people is not a local figure in international football?

In contrast, only Pepe and Kompani can make a move in Nottingham Forest. Woodgate and Barnes are limited to well-known domestically. Rafinia has always been a marginal figure in the Brazilian national team. She was occasionally selected several times and was excluded. In the final analysis, Dunga has a better choice for Macon in the right-back position. Not to mention Zimbonda, Joe Matok and Nkuru are currently the stars of hope at most, and they also need to prove their abilities continuously in high-level competitions before they can be recognized.

No wonder everyone is optimistic about Nottingham Forest.

If you have to say what advantages Nottingham Forest has compared to Inter Milan, maybe their players are younger, which is one...

Foreign media generally do not optimistic about Nottingham Forest. But local media in Nottingham are very confident about Tony Donn's team. Their confidence comes from the "history" that has just passed few seasons.

In fact, when Nottingham Forest's most glorious two seasons, their lineup was basically like this. They did not have an advantage compared to any giant team, but why was it them who won the European Cup final? Instead of AC Milan and Chelsea? On the way to win the championship, they defeated Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan, Arsenal... and other strong teams. Could it be that the opponent deliberately let the water?

The fans of Nottingham Forest are like those fanatical religious believers. I believe that as long as it is Tony, nothing can stump him. The person in this world who can make him surrender and admit defeat has not been born yet. As long as the person sitting on the coaching table of Nottingham Forest is him Tony Don, no matter how powerful the opponent he faces, Nottingham Forest will not lose.

The competition is still two days away, and the media in Nottingham have begun to hype the concept of "revenge".

No Nottingham Forest fan will forget the game two seasons ago, when Tony Donn was forced to leave his coaching position due to a heart attack, and Nottingham Forest was suddenly in a head-on. The acting head coach, Tang, just to stabilize the team's position in the league, had to exhaust all his energy, and he had no intention of considering the team's future in the Champions League.

Nottingham Forest lost to Mourinho's Inter Milan in the two games in the result and the scene.

Mourinho was like a loving man who worked hard to marry the bride. He lifted the red veil and found that the bride sitting beside the bed was not the beautiful lady in his mind, but someone else. So he turned surprise into humiliation, and humiliation into anger. He vented this anger on the pitiful Tang...

Those two games are still unwilling to be mentioned by most Forest fans because they lost too cowardly and too embarrassingly... Their spirit was completely beaten away. The players' performance on the court made people believe that they must have been waiting for the whistle to finish the game since the first second.

If Tang En was present at the time, he would have scolded himself in the locker room for a woman who was stripped of his clothes and pressed under his body. Then maybe he would die if he had another heart attack...

Fortunately, he was carefully cared for by Shania at that time. He had no time to pay attention to the team's mess.

But afterwards, in order to test how much his heart recovered, Tang En specially found the videos of the two games at that time. After watching it, although he was fine, he was really angry. Mourinho did not leave any face for Tang at that time. One game 2:0, the other game 3:0, and the total score was 5:0. The biggest score loss that Tang had never had since coached appeared in Mourinho.

How could such a great humiliation be considered as if it had never happened? A smile to eliminate grudges? That is not Tony Tang's style. His style is - even if you turn into ashes, I will recognize you!

Therefore, this time Tang En didn't mind the media hyping up the concept of "revenge". He was not afraid of bringing psychological pressure to the players. He even wanted the players to be under pressure. Without pressure, he couldn't play in this game...

At the first press conference in Milan, Don Eun clearly agreed with the "revenge statement" of the local media in Nottingham: "That's right. We are here to seek revenge. Please tell Mourinho that Tony Don Eun, who he cannot win, is here again!"

He smiled with confidence, and his attitude was extremely arrogant. He wanted the Italian who had been tossed by Mourinho to know that the masters from England were not easy to serve!

At the press conference, Tang En and the reporters verbally refuted the remarks that were not optimistic about him one by one, trying to prove that his team was the best team this week, no doubt about it.

If the media didn't believe it, he spread his hands: "After the game, you will know whether I'm talking big or the truth."

After the "big truth" is released, Tang En naturally needs to be prepared.

This time, Tang En plans to continue using 4231. However, it is different from before. "2" is not two central advanceers. It has become a double back midfielder. "3" is not a line standing on the 30-meter line, except for the "1" in the middle that continues to play the role of front midfielder. The attacking wing forwards on both sides retreat to become wing forwards, making the formation more layered, and the lines are not too far apart, causing disconnection.

With such an adjustment, although the attack power is not as good as before, the defense is definitely much more stable.   There was a problem with the previous 4231 - George Wood and Thiago are too big, and the opponent will seize the opportunity to face the defense directly, causing the goal conceded.   Inter Milan's midfield and frontcourt strength should not be underestimated, the less such a space, the better.

Now, Wood and Thiago returned to the midfielder position and were closer to their back line. Although they were far away from the midfielder, there were two wing forwards in the middle, which was actually one. You can attack and retreat or defend.

Since Wood and Thiago will focus more on defense, the task of organizing offense falls on the front midfielder. This time, Donn did not choose to let Fernandez, who has a stronger scoring ability, be the front midfielder, but decided to let Shahin start. Fernandez moved to the left to be the front midfielder, but compared with Bentley on the right, he is more freer, a bit similar to Ribery who became the world footballer in Nottingham Forest. After all, Fernandez and Ribery have a bit similar characteristics, and it is a waste to simply fix themselves on the wing. Recently, the performance of outstanding performance in several consecutive rounds of games has been made, and some British media have called Fernandez "Ribery II".

Unlike Fernandez, who can break through, pass and shoot on the left, Bentley on the right is more like a pure passer. His task is to retreat and respond, pass forward, and send the ball to the opponent's goal.

The person who is at the forefront is Ibisevic, who is in good condition and has no problems recently. He is a forward with a large range of activities and can be seen almost the entire frontcourt. It is perfect to be a single arrow because he will not be easily defended by the opponent's defender.

The team is in good shape now, and there are no major injuries. At the same time, the players are in high morale. Although they are facing Inter Milan, which once slaughtered them at a total score of 5:0, this time there is no need to worry about with the leader!
