When Nottingham Forest arrived at Liverpool, many reporters tracked the hotel they were staying in, hoping to get some pre-match latest news at close range.   The local media of the host Liverpool naturally got the moon first.

They gathered outside the hotel, waiting to interview every Forest player who came out of it.

George Wood is obviously the most popular player. Recently, the media have crazily hyped up his grudges and revenge with Eastwood, and have turned out all the days when he was still in the youth team. Many media believe that George Wood should be responsible for Eastwood's retirement. They pretended to be very angry and scolded their teammates for retirement, but Eastwood did not even express anything at all. It really makes people wonder whether the atmosphere in Nottingham Forest is really as harmonious as that of Don Eun's promotion...

This time, many Liverpool reporters went directly to ask Wood about Eastwood's retirement. These Liverpool reporters obviously have plans to do this - they know what is the reason George Wood is in poor condition recently.

Since you have been injured here and the wound has not healed yet, we don’t mind stabbing your wound again and sprinkling salt…

In fact, it is not Tang En's exclusive patent to do anything to win.

"Wood, the media said that Eastwood's retirement is related to you, aren't you going to say something?"

"Hey, George. I heard that your relationship with Eastwood has always been very bad. Is it because of that?"

"The outside said that you two are not friends, how do you get along with each other?"

...

As long as he appears, a group of reporters will flock to raise such questions.

At this time, Wood had a gloomy face, opening his cold expression to the limit, and he didn't answer any questions.

No matter how the reporter harassed him, he just didn't speak.

As a member of the coaching staff, Eastwood also came with the team, and the media also ran to ask him similar questions. The gypsy who is a player is very popular with the media because he talks a lot and cooperates with the media to ask questions. But today Eastwood is like George Wood leaning over, with a dark face and keeping a speech. He turned a deaf ear to the reporters' questions.

Enough.

It is enough for those who deliberately make trouble to see this scene. They don’t really expect two people to stand in front of the microphone and talk. As long as they can photograph the expressions of two people when facing problems, it is enough for them to make a fuss.

Soon, news about the disagreement between George Wood and Eastwood appeared in the media. Wood and Eastwood's expressions were put together. Even if there was no copywriting, it was already clear.

After these media exaggerations, in the eyes of outsiders, Nottingham Forest seems to have become so internally strife that it is about to dissolve at any time.

At the press conference the day before the game, Tang En pointed at the nose of the media and scolded: "I know what you mean. But it's a pity, all you do is useless."

Moreover, in order to counter the rumors from the media, Tang En, who used to be released at the last moment, announced the starting lineup of the game a day in advance. The name of George Wood is listed.

He used this action to show his support for his captain.

He didn't know what the result of Eastwood talking to Wood, but he believed in Eastwood. And only he could do this. He also believed in George, and he could definitely come out of it, and he could wait for a Wood that was similar to a robot. He was the guarantee of the team's victory, he was the light that would never go out, and he was the Tower of Power.

"Coach Tony Donn insists on sending George Wood. But Wood's condition in recent games is really bad, and the team's performance has also been affected. This is obviously because Eastwood retired, and Carl Spike may be right this time."

Before the game, when introducing the starting list of both sides, the commentator analyzed for everyone.

"We all know that Tony Donne is a stubborn and self-centered person. He always insists on things others don't like. He used to be right, but will he still be right this time? You know, his opponent this time is Liverpool, who has won five consecutive victories in the league recently."

Meanwhile, Donn is making the final mobilization for the team in the locker room.

"Liverpool won five consecutive games in the last five times, and they ranked second in the league. This is a difficult opponent. And what about us. Only one win in six rounds of the league. "Donn scored the players with his fingers. "They ranked second in the league, and we are seventh in the league, which is far behind. They are very proud recently, and we are in poor condition recently... But what I want to say below has nothing to do with this."

He made a gesture, "No matter how good their results are, does it have anything to do with this game? There is no. Every game is separate. Arsenal, who has been unbeaten in forty-nine games, still lost in the 50th game, so Liverpool won five rounds in a row, may not necessarily win six rounds in a row. Gerrard is their key figure. George. Your task in this game is to freeze Gerrard for me and take into account the offense. "

Wood did not nod or shook his head. He did not show any expression. The others turned their heads to look at him, as if they were worried.

After Donn dismissed Wood's mission, he turned to Gago.

"Fernando, your task is either defense or offense."

Gago was stunned for a moment. He thought the leader would let him assist Wood in defense. After all, Wood has been in a bad state recently. Once Wood has a problem, the opponent's offense will face the defense directly. In the previous six games, such situations have occurred a lot.

Tang En saw that he was worried, but he didn't explain anything, but just continued to assign tasks: "Put your strengths and keep running. Don't be afraid that the ball will be cut off, and leave everything behind George. You just keep in mind the attack, do you understand?"

"Uh...I understand, boss..." Gago replied hesitantly. Is this really okay to arrange it?

This arrangement is really bold enough. If Wood is in excellent condition, it is understandable to do so. But no one knows what Wood can behave now. What is the difference between this arrangement and suicide?

Seeing Gago's hesitation, Tang En added: "Attack, offense, offense, offense... You only need to have an attack in your mind now, Fernando. Don't think about anything, even if you make a mistake, it's not your responsibility."

Gago nodded. “Okay, boss…”

In fact, he was still muttering...

I believe that at this time, he must be more than one of them muttering in his heart.

After assigning other people's tasks, Tang En clapped his hands: "Okay guys. Everyone knows what they should do. But that's not enough. If you want to win the game, you just know what you should do is far from being able to do. You have to trust your teammates. Football is a sport of eleven people, and no one can be missing. Now in the locker room, I can tell you tactics and tell you what to do and what not to go. But on the court, the situation changes rapidly, who can you count on? Anyway, it's not me sitting below." Tang En spread his hands, "It's your teammates. Partners. Look at their eyes, you are comrades in the same trench, you can only choose to believe each other. Do you understand what I mean? I know some people are worried that George's condition will affect the whole team, but even so, you must believe him. Because you can only believe him on the court. "

This is a bit unreasonable. It is also Tang En's style. Everyone got used to it, so everyone nodded.

"Come on the stage."

The players got up and walked out. George Wood dragged behind again.

Tang En looked at him and smiled at him, and he also looked at Tang En. The two of them said nothing.

When Wood also left, Eastwood took the initiative to find Done, as if he wanted to say something: "Boss, I..."

Donn interrupted him: "Leave me some suspense." He winked at Eastwood.

Eastwood understood what Donn meant, nodded and left.

"The players on both sides have appeared! George Wood is at the front of the team, and he is still wearing the captain's armband. Tony Donn trusts Wood like a paranoid, but in the first few games Wood did not repay him with trust, and his performance was terrible. So in this important game, will Donnn's trust be rewarded?"

In the press room, Bascombe listened to the commentary from the TV above his head, while typing today's manuscript on his laptop - he was already writing the post-match press release in advance.

"…Don En chose to continue to trust Wood, which is great. We don't have to feel guilty about disturbing Tang En's anniversary - this was what he asked for..."

He looked up at the TV, and a close-up of Wood's face appeared on the screen.

"Look at his dead fish face, it seems like the Forest team has lost the ball. Haha!" He pointed to the TV screen and smiled at the people around him.

Wood and Gerald shook hands and stood beside the referee to guess the coins.

"This is a direct conversation between the two best midfielders in English football today. This game will definitely be very interesting. Of course. Wood is in poor condition recently, and Gerald may take advantage of it."

When guessing the coin, Wood lost to Gerald.

"Gerard won the game first, ha!" Bascombe smiled when he saw this scene.

After Tang En appeared in the coaching seat, several media gathered around him and blocked him in his seat, cameras and cameras kept taking pictures. He was the most eye-catching focus of this game. This was a day he had coached for ten years. In ten years, he had won eight championships, big and small, and was one of the most successful coaches in England. He ranked in the top 20 in the "Coach Hall of Fame" in the UK and ranked in the top 10 in the "Coach Hall of Fame" in England. The most important thing is not these honors, but he was only forty-five years old. As a coach, he is still a "young young coach". People have reason to believe that his legendary story is far from the time to write the "end".

Tang En sat in his position, enjoying the treatment of the stars as he swayed. This is his honor, and he does not have to be embarrassed at all.

The only regret is that this is not in the city stadium, otherwise he will have the opportunity to accept the club awards on site and enjoy the scene of tens of thousands of fans chanting his name and cheering for him. Maybe the Forest Club will have to put a unique crown on him. Put on a cloak and let him hold a scepter to receive the award.

When Tang En stood up from the coaching seat, the reporters also dispersed under the reminder of the security guards. The game began.

Liverpool took advantage of their home advantage to launch a strong attack on the Forests' hinterland from the beginning. They really didn't plan to give Tony Donn the chance to win the anniversary at Anfield Stadium. Since George Wood is in poor condition recently, use him to open the Forests' goal.

"Stephen Gerrard! A beautiful long shot!"

Akinfeyev tried hard to lift the powerful long shot from the crossbar. After getting up from the ground, he shouted loudly to ask his teammates to pay attention to the defense in the middle. Although he did not name it, everyone knew that the range where Gerald kicked was responsible for George Wood.

Gago couldn't stand it. Although the leader told him not to care about defense and to focus on attacking. But Gerald almost scored the goal with his long shot. How can he attack if he missed the ball?

He decided to help Wood before he got into shape.

Liverpool's corner kick did not directly pass the ball, but passed it outside. Gerald made another direct shot. Although it missed, it also means that he was very excited in this game. Gerald was definitely a dangerous person, and Nottingham Forest had to be careful.

"Be careful of Gerald!" Chris Lack couldn't sit off the court, and he ran to the sidelines to remind the players on the court. "Don't give him so many opportunities to shoot far!"

Liverpool made a comeback again. Gago hesitated for a moment. The sense of responsibility he cultivated at Real Madrid finally rushed to the middle and prepared to defend Gerald.

"If you move a little bigger, the Premier League is not La Liga. You can also foul if you need it..." He muttered and faced Gerald.

But there is someone who is faster than him.

George Wood rushed out of the slant. He rushed towards Gerald, and the two people collided together. Gerald was knocked and the football was thrown away. Wood was about to get the ball, but he heard the whistle of the referee.

"foul!"

Huge booing against Wood rang in the stands at Anfield Stadium.

Wood seemed to have not heard it. He ignored it. He turned around and made a downward gesture to Gago: "I'll do it here." He pointed to the front again, "You go up."

Seeing Wood's expression, Gago nodded. From the first day he came to the Forest, the leader told him to believe George and the captain in the game. He obediently did it, and he had a great time in the past two seasons. This time, it would be fine...

He just thought so when he heard a familiar voice shouting his name loudly: "Gago!Gago!"

He turned around and found that it was the boss.

"What are you doing? Have you forgotten what I said before?" Tang En waved his arm hard and shouted to him. "Your position is in front. Go up! Get up some!"

Gago gave Donn a thumbs up and said he knew.

"Don't be far behind George, or who should he pass the ball to?"

"I understand! Boss!" Gago had to answer loudly, otherwise he was really afraid that Boss would keep saying this.

Nottingham Forest's row in this game was not 451, but 442. Gago and George Wood were not on the same line. Wood was slightly behind, while Gago was staggered before and after the test. It was not a diamond midfielder. It was not a disc midfielder, nor a parallel midfielder.

This formation clearly explains the division of labor of the Forest team's midfield - Gago's main attacker. Wood is the main defense.

Benitez saw this. He didn't know why Donn dared to line up such a lineup away, but he was sure that this was an opportunity that could be taken advantage of by himself.
Chapter completed!
