Chapter 127 Revisiting the past

Chapter 127 Relive the old things

Although Tang En made a statement that "if you lose the ball, you are not a man", he was still worried. Although he looks confident on the outside, his inner pressure is not less than that of anyone. You should know that if you lose the ball, the pressure of the players will only last from the court to home, and the pressure of the head coach may last for several days. So he is careless.

In addition to using words to motivate the players, he must think of other ways.

The entire Inter Milan team has arrived in Nottingham. Mourinho laughed at the interview at London Heathrow Airport and said that he didn't think he was playing away because there were too many things in England that he was familiar with. Mourinho in the TV screen looked relaxed and looked confident. And he didn't care about the reporters' two away goals in Nottingham Forest in front of him.

"I think this is a good thing for us. Yes, Nottingham Forest has two away goals, and they only have two away goals. And we are different, our away game has not started yet, why can't we score three goals at the city stadium?"

Look at his tone and expression, it really makes people suspect that it is not Tony Don't win the away goal advantage, but him...

"This is a psychological warfare." Don En snorted. "Murinho is really uninnovative. After staying in Italy for a long time, he has retreated. He used to be like a clever kitten."

In his office, Don Eun doesn't have to worry about the walls being heard, nor does he have to worry about the paparazzi putting micro cameras and microphones into his field, so he can ridicule Mourinho without any hesitation.

Hearing Donn's metaphor, Chris Lack laughed loudly. He had no likes and dislikes of Mourinho himself, but he obviously would not have any good feelings for "enemy Mourinho".

After commenting on his opponent, Tang En set his eyes on his assistant Tang.

"Dang, is the stuff ready?"

Tang nodded. He handed a disc to Tang En. Tang En did not put it in the disc machine, but held it in his hand and played with it repeatedly. His face reflected on the disc surface, which was a little blurred.

"I decided to show them this twenty minutes before the game started." He put the disc on his index finger and turned it.

"What is that?" Chris Lack was a little curious.

"It's not a good thing for us." Tang En glanced at Tang. In fact, it's not a good thing for Tang. That may be the biggest failure he has encountered since coaching Nottingham Forest alone. He wanted to give Tang some face, but was unwilling to say it too clearly.

"It was the 8th-finals of the Champions League season 2008 to 2009, Nottingham Forest's home game against Inter Milan." Tang introduced himself.

"Ah. That game..." Chris Lark was completely uncurious. That game was a painful memory, and if he could, he really didn't want to think of it again. "Tony, why...why do you... want them to see that?"

"Let them relive their old dreams." Tang En shrugged.

"That's a nightmare..." Chris Lack muttered.

"Reliving the beautiful dreams will only make them lose the motivation to move forward. I don't think it's enough."

Chris Lack knew that Don was the one who spoke the same thing. He squirmed for a moment and stopped talking. He just glanced at Tang with some sympathy. After all, the game was directed by Tang himself... He suddenly realized in an instant what exactly was "doing any means to win".

Tang had no objection: "Tony has consulted me, and I agree. I also think this is a good idea."

This CD was edited and burned by Tang himself. In order to meet Tang En's requirements, in order to make the picture more impactful, he needed to watch the game many times and select the best shots from it to edit it together. For Tang, it was equivalent to looking in the mirror and watching and savoring his most embarrassing moments repeatedly, and analyzing his shortcomings under a microscope. No one likes this feeling.

But for the team's needs, Tang must do such a job.

Chris Lack thinks it is really hard to be Tony's assistant, but fortunately it's Don who is busy with these things...

"That's all, everyone. Let's give Mourinho a lively welcome banquet!"

On the game day, there were crowds of people around the city stadium, and a large number of fans walked along the Trent River to the city stadium. Many fans had appeared in the stands. Among these people were Nottingham's most hard-core fans group, John and Bill from Forest Bar.

They arrived at the stadium in advance and were busy hanging banners.

“Welcome back to England, welcome to the city stadium, Jose!”

It seems that Mourinho is really friendly to them, but the following sentence exposes the hostile relationship between the two sides: "You won't win this time!"

Of course, Inter Milan fans are not to be outdone, and they also have their way to fight back.

A group of Inter Milan fans hang a banner with scores written on them below the stands, with the scores above being 2:0 and 3:0. 2:0 is Inter Milan's score at home, and 3:0 is the record they wrote at the city stadium.

Since Nottingham Forest entered the Tony Dun era, no team has ever scored three goals at the city stadium and left Nottingham Forest without a single goal. Mourinho did it.

This incident was not worth mentioning, but due to Tony Donn's repeated provocations, Inter Milan fans simply wrote it in bloody colors to stimulate Nottingham Forest fans as a fight against their constant provocations.

These two games, especially the home score, can indeed be regarded as "a painful memory" for Nottingham Forest fans.

Five goals were scored by the opponent at home and away. He didn't score a single goal. In the game of the city stadium, the players of the Forest team were holding on. They wanted to give Inter a little color to the game after returning to home. Who would have thought that Inter Milan would seize the opportunity of Forest team's rush to attack and make a sneak attack. After being led by three goals, Inter Milan became more and more relaxed, while Nottingham Forest was more and more anxious. The whole team was counting on their acting head coach Tang to stand up and turn the tide. Tang looked at the stadium helplessly, not knowing what to do. He was usually prepared to be full of football skills and tactics, but at this moment he couldn't get any use.

In the end, the team became more and more chaotic. Inter Milan seized the opportunity to score continuously, completely defeating the players of Nottingham Forest 3-0. The game then entered garbage time.

After the game, local media in Nottingham angrily said that judging from the performance of the game, if Inter Milan scores another goal, Nottingham Forest players will collectively raise their hands and kneel down and beg for mercy.

Even the Forest fans who almost never booed their team in the stands of the stadium could not help but booed.

After that game, countless Nottingham Forest fans gathered in major bars to talk about the same issue-

What would it look like if Tony was still there?

Now they have a chance to know the answer.

The buses of the players on both sides had already arrived at the stadium for warm-up before the game. However, the players from Nottingham Forest came earlier. When they entered the stadium to warm up, only about a quarter of the people were sitting in the stands, while the players from Inter Milan had just set off from the hotel they were staying.

When the bus that the Inter Milan players took came to the stadium at normal times to warm up, they found that the Nottingham Forest players were preparing to leave.

This surprised some people because, as usual, everyone came out to warm up together. Why did the Nottingham Forest players end the warm-up so early? More than half an hour before the game started, what are they doing now in the locker room? Do you take a shower and go to bed?

Nottingham Forest players passed by Inter Milan players.  Don't care about the confusing gazes of Inter Milan players.

Of course, all this was arranged by the leader. He asked the team to use the benefits of the home team to enter the city stadium in advance, start warming up, and then go back to the locker room. He has a mysterious and exciting thing to show everyone...

Everyone was guessing that the boss suddenly tried to play "movies" to everyone half an hour before the start of the competition. Who still has the intention to watch the movie at this time?

Tang En smiled and didn't speak. After everyone entered the locker room, he turned off the lights. He turned on the DVD projector and the TV.

After a brief black screen, a voice rang out in the small space of the locker room:

"Ibrahimovic!! Ibrahimovic!! Beautiful turn and volley! Just three minutes into the game, Inter Milan took the lead incredible! Now Inter Milan has led Nottingham Forest with a total score of 3:0! Poor Nottingham Forest... Of course, they hope to defeat Inter Milan at home, but they did not expect to concede another goal. This game is not difficult to play..."

Many Forest players in the locker room had a look. They may have made many speculations, but no one expected that the leader showed them this... Players who experienced that game would not easily forget that kind of humiliation - the home team fans in the game were actually booing the team they originally supported, and they were obviously strong but couldn't do it, so they could only run around behind the opponent's butt. The rhythm of the game was in control by Inter Milan from the beginning. They didn't even have the power to fight back.

Even if you haven't experienced this game, the Forest players don't have to worry. Tang's excellent editing is enough to let them experience the 0:3 game in the past.

Three minutes into the game, Ibrahimovic scored a goal.

Then Thornton scored another goal at the beginning of the second half. At this time, Inter Milan had already led Nottingham Forest 4-0 and scored two away goals. If Nottingham Forest wants to advance, it will need to score at least five goals in the remaining forty minutes, and the opponent cannot continue to score. This is an impossible task for such a Forest team.

In the stands, some fans could not bear the torment of such a scene and made a harsh boo. Then the sporadic booed together, and finally became an unstoppable mainstream voice. The commentator's voice was even more harsh in this boo: "Since Tony Donn became the head coach of this team, there has never been a game that can be seen in such a scene. The fans who claim to be the most loyal Premier League actually booed their home team... I don't know what to say... The players in Nottingham Forest performed so badly!"

The players who had played in that game seemed to be back on that day once. After that scene, they all lowered their heads. They didn't want to watch the TV screen anymore. If possible, they even wanted to cover their ears. The boo was too harsh, as if there was a needle piercing them.

And those players who later joined the team understood after watching this game - for Nottingham Forest, which was the defending champion at that time, once had a glorious glory and thought the whole world was in their hands, the blow was too heavy...

Amid the harsh booing, the commentator's shout for the goal sounded again: "The third ball! Who is this time? Samuel! In chaos in front of the goal, Samuel won the ball, and there was no Nottingham Forest player by his side! This is incredible!... 3:0! Inter Milan led Nottingham Forest with a total score of 5:0! The game has ended twenty minutes left, but I want to say... look at the performance of Nottingham Forest players. This game has entered garbage time in advance. "

No one could stare at the screen indifferently after hearing such words, except Tony Donne.

Coaches including Don and Chris Lack have all turned their eyes away from the TV screen, and they also don't want to relive the nightmare of the past.

Tang En is really a demon, forcing them to recall such a cruel competition. And he is still laughing - the light emitted from the TV fluorescent screen reflected on Tang En's face, and that expression should be a smile!

After the video clip of the game was played, Tang En did not turn on the light immediately, but instead used his hoarse voice to tell everyone about his purpose of doing this in the dark.

In this environment, his voice seemed to be coming from the depths of hell. It was hoarse, sometimes low, sometimes sharp, and very uncomfortable to hear.

"Is anyone still guessing why I'm showing you something like this? I know that that game is definitely not a 'good memory' for some people. I just hope you know that some failures can be over with a smile. Some failures are absolutely absolutely unforgettable! What should you do if the enemy wants you to be humiliated? Do you crawl honestly through his crotch? No! That's not our style! You should use their jj to top him when you climb under his crotch!

We will stomp on the ground, then step on it with our feet! Stomp! Grind! If you don't want such a game to happen to you again, if you don't want your supporters to turn against each other in the last round to cheer for your opponent. If you don't want the enemy to ridicule you as a group of women wearing underwear after defeating you, remember this game for me! We lost 0:3! It's like being raped by eleven strong men, and there is no power to fight back! Do you like it? I don't like it anyway! I feel disgusted!"

Tang En only turned on the locker room floor lamp after he said this.

The recovery of light in an instant made many people feel uncomfortable. They covered their faces with their hands and squinted their eyes and hid in the shadows.

"How does it feel to return to reality?" Tony Tangen spoke again and made a 180-degree turn, completely losing the sternness and reprimand as before. He narrowed his eyes and smiled and looked harmless. But those who know him know that the more like this, the more dangerous it is. "Many of you must be relieved - fortunately it was just a dream just now, right? Kemmo and reality are closely linked, and now Inter Milan has hit the goal. Is this a dream? If you are not careful, the nightmare just now will reappear! I don't want to hear the booing of the home fans on my own stadium, and I will never want to! Do you know what to do?"

"I know, boss!" Will there be any fools who say "I don't know"?

Tang En slapped, "It's great. Remember the feeling you felt in the dark just now, don't forget, guys! That's the most precious wealth in your career..."
