Chapter 11: The tiger's butt can't be touched

Tony Tangen, in public, December 12 may be a memorable day. Because this is the day when he returned to the position of the Forest team's head coach and began to lead the team for ten consecutive years. However, Tony Tangen has two identities, so in fact, January 1 is probably the day that he can remember forever.

January 1, 2014, was the eleventh year he traveled through time... This day probably cannot be regarded as an "anniversary"?

No matter what the result is later, it is not worth remembering. Because it means that although you have gained a lot of things, you have permanently lost something else. What you get may not feel precious, and what you lose will never be redeemable.

So on January 1st, Don En is still busy working to prepare for the FA Cup in these three days. This is the first round of the Premier League team this season.

In Tang En's heart, he has won basically all the championships he can win, but there is still a regret - as the oldest and most important event in England, his championship coach's performance in the FA Cup is blank, which is really inconsistent with his current status and identity.

So he made himself a New Year wish for Lyon on January 1st. One of them is: No matter how the results of other events this season, he must win the FA Cup in England!

Another one is - I hope to have a child in the new year.

She has been married to Shania for four and a half years. As long as they have the chance to be together, the most important thing must be to "create people". Although once they are pregnant, it will definitely affect Shania's career, Shania herself does not care about such things. However, in the past year, Shania rarely mentions "children", but instead concentrates on her work.

In fact, Tang En knew in his heart that Xianya's desire for children had not really decreased. She seemed to just not want to put pressure on herself... If her wife was infertile, most of the time it was the man. Tang En had an impulse more than once and wanted to go to the hospital to check on herself. But when things were about to come, he retreated again. This kind of thing was really... it would be better to have fantasies. It must be not a problem with her, it must be just a bad luck. I haven't encountered such a thing as off-targeting? When the military training of high school started, he went to the shooting range to shoot ten shots, and the guy next to him shot ten shots, one hundred and one rings - he still shot ten shots, but he just went to the next door...

Sometimes Tang En also wanted to call Tang, who was in the same city, and inquire about whether he had any convenient disease before. Or family genetic history. But in the end he just thought about it. He can only hypnotize himself now: "It must not be my problem, it must be just bad luck..."

If the FA Cup is also won, I wonder if the wish of "having a child" can be realized...

On this day, Tang En did something strange to outsiders. He found a piece of paper and wrote on it: "I want a child, both boys and girls can do it, as long as he/she is healthy. No matter which immortal, please help me if you see it!"

Then he carefully folded the note and put it in a small glass bottle. He buried it under a tree in his garden. When he was buried, he muttered something in his mouth: "In spring, I plant a seed, and in autumn, I can harvest a child..."

Fortunately, Xianya is not here, otherwise she would be furious by Tang En's actions - she has time to "plant children". It's better to "work" with me.

I'm so anxious to seek medical treatment...

Tang En just thinks about children occasionally, and he will not be able to stand it if he thinks about it every day. It is completely different from having a child and winning the championship. Getting a championship is a goal. Then the whole team just needs to work towards the goal. Having a child is not necessarily effective. Countless young couples accidentally won the bid without wearing a condom that day, and those couples who long to have children may not have any results after working hard for many years...

Nottingham Forest's first opponent in the FA Cup was the Championship team Leeds United. The "Youth Guards" were no longer as good as before. Now the finances are in a mess, and the results are fluctuating. Last season, the English Championship was almost downgraded to the A-level. The FA Cup was a misfortune for Nottingham Forest in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, this is one of the opponents Leeds United most hoped to meet - this game was held at Leeds United's home court, and the ticket revenue was Leeds United. Nottingham Forest is now a star team. Just a Tony Don is enough to attract popularity, not to mention those well-known stars, they are all guaranteed box office. For Bates, who is not a monetary, a pound is also money, and he will never throw what he deserves to make.

The opponent in this game was not strong, and Tang En sent half of the first team and half of the youth team to arrange the land, and ended up easily defeating Leeds United 3:0 away.

Adriano Mok was named the best on the spot after the game. He contributed a goal. Two assists, all three goals of the Forest team were related to him. His sharp breakthroughs and dazzling skills on the wings made the opponent unable to defend, and also made the audience feel excited.

Although Lennon's departure made Tang En a little unhappy, Mok was very committed and grew up very quickly. It seemed that the years of wandering outside had helped him a lot. Tang En believed that hardships made people grow, so he deliberately made Mok's career not so smooth. Now it seems that his efforts were finally in vain. It's time to harvest... I just hope that Lennon can have a happy life in AC Milan.

The FA Cup is the first game played by the Forest team in the New Year. Don En attaches great importance to this good start, 3:0, and still wins completely. The opponent has not scored a goal, which seems to indicate a good sign in the new year.

The following month also confirmed his premonition. Eastwood and George Wood made up their past grudges, and the team's atmosphere returned to a happy state, with high morale and united.

In four league games in January, Nottingham Forest achieved impressive record in four consecutive victories.    Donn was later named the coach of the month. Nottingham Forest was awarded the team of the month, and George Wood won the player of the month.      The Forest team also returned to the No. 1 Group and ranked fourth.

When February entered, another important event also kicked off. The European Champions League rekindled the battle, and Nottingham Forest, as a member of the top 16, will face Eindhoven in the quarterfinals. This opponent is the weakest opponent in the first round of the Champions League knockout in recent years.

Does UEFA seem to be particularly favorable?

Eindhoven played at home first. They tied Nottingham Forest very tenaciously at home and successfully failed to score the Forest team. A group of powerful shooters such as Aaron Mitcher and Ibissevic who were arrogant in the Premier League did not break through Eindhoven's goal, which made Done very angry. He roared at a group of players in the locker room for five minutes, scolding everyone until they dared not look up.

At the end, he said viciously: "You'd better pray that you won't be another draw when you return to the home court, and it's a draw!"

This 0-0 battle made many people gloat. Tony Donn is too arrogant in European football. Everyone wants to see him unlucky. He was tied by the "weak team" Eindhoven away and has not yet obtained the away goal he valued most. The Dutch media also made an optimistic prediction that Eindhoven eliminated the Forest team and advanced to the quarterfinals. It is not impossible for Eindhoven to eliminate the Forest team and advance to the quarterfinals. How unpopular and unexpected in the football world, it is not necessarily a victory. Didn't Nottingham Forest also make a fortune from a dark horse? What's more, Eindhoven is a powerful player and is not considered a dark horse.

"Target:Female Eight!"

Before Eindhoven set out for Nottingham, local Dutch media posted such a striking title.

Don Eun responded in Nottingham: "The target is only the quarterfinals? It's really a waste of time..."

Be harder on your mouth, and the preparations under your hands are not careless. Don Eun gave up the previous league for this game, and his team finally stopped winning streaks in the league. Of course, those who blacked Don Eun will regard this as "Nottingham Forest has been unfavorable in recent years and has suffered a setback in the Champions League. The momentum of winning streaks in the league has also stopped, and it seems that they are in poor condition recently..."

Tang En ignored it. He was in good condition recently. Wouldn't you know if you came here to try it?

Before the game, Donn instilled a belief in winning in his players.

"If you are eliminated by Eindhoven at home, you can imagine what the consequences will be."

This sentence is much more effective than roaring at them a thousand times, "We will definitely win, because the other party is stinky shit!"

The fear that cannot be seen is the real fear.

No one wants to be scolded by the boss in the locker room for five minutes or longer, and no one wants to be ridiculed by the outside world after losing to Eindhoven. No one wants to lose the game and the championship. This Nottingham Forest is a team with a tradition of victory and championship. They have long been used to victory and honor, failure? They hate failure.

Eindhoven's head coach Hooper Stevens is still clear-headed and he is not inspired by the media. He still lined up the defensive counterattack lineup at home on the away game. He expected that Don Eun would be eager to attack because he wanted to advance, so he only needed to defend and counterattack to get a ball. He made a profit. He had such confidence because his team successfully held the game for 90 minutes at home.

As expected, Donn had a fierce attack at home, Mitcher, Ibissevic, Bentley, Fernandez, and Shahin. Donnndi 442, only one defensive midfielder, Gago and Thiago did not play in this game, Wood led the midfielder to fight Eindhoven's counterattack alone.

When he saw this starter, Stevens was still laughing. But within ten minutes, he couldn't laugh.

Nottingham Forest already shot two shots on the goal frame. The Eindhoven defenders who performed well in the first round could not defend against the attacks of Nottingham Forest offensive players.

Amid the constant singing of the home fans, Nottingham Forest finally broke open Eindhoven's gate in the 27th minute. The goal was Ibisevic, who headed the ball open to Sweden's national goal and Isaxon guarded the goal.

It was as if a hole had collapsed from a thousand-mile dike. The subsequent defeat of Eindhoven was like a mountain and was destroyed by the Nottingham Forest's attack like a flood.

In fact, the lineup is not much different from the first round, but the Nottingham Forest, who is unwilling to lose to Eindhoven, eindhoven unexpectedly, as if it was a nuclear bomb explosion, and the shock waves flooded them, and they were not alive...

In the 40th minute, Mitcher headed the ball. 2:0! The forest team's high-altitude bombing tactics were quite successful in this game. Eindhoven's defenders had no choice but to face Ibisekic, who was 1.88 meters tall and Mitcher, who was 2.02 meters tall.

Stevens was restless and anxious on the sidelines. It would be difficult to play two goals behind... Eindhoven needed to score two goals... But look at the Forest's posture, if you save it and attack them, you can score the goal, and what's the use of conceiving the ball in the back?

In the second half, the Forest team continued to maintain the fierce offensive in the first half, without any intention of letting Eindhoven take a breath. It seems that Tang En was obviously stimulated by comments from outside media, and he must let everyone see if the tiger's butt is touched or not.

In the 51st minute, Nottingham Forest won another goal. The person who scored this time was Bale, who scored a direct free kick.

This goal completely defeated Eindhoven's fighting spirit.

It seems that the tiger's butt is really invisible...

Then Eindhoven completely lost the initiative on the court. They tried to fight back, but only provided the Forest with more opportunities to be counterattacked.

At the last moment, the Forest team scored into the penalty area after a team cooperation. The defender made a header and made a mistake in clearing the ball, and the pie fell from the sky. Mitchel was not polite and poked the ball into it, locking the victory of the game 4:0.

"Look at the performance of the Eindhoven players, they probably only have one thing in their minds now, that is, escape from this noisy stadium as soon as possible!"

Although they already had a big lead, the Forest fans in the stands of the City Stadium did not want to let go of the Eindhoven players. Whenever the visiting team players took the ball, they would wait for a burst of violent booing. Unless the football was on the Forest team, they would not have any room for breathing.

When the referee was very considerate in the three-minute injury time ended in one and a half minutes, Eindhoven's entire team was relieved. After this battle, I'm afraid their disgust towards Tony Tangen and this team became even more intense...

In an interview after the game, Tang En was very cool and he was very proud of his words. When someone saw the victory of this game, he only said: "I'm so sorry, I disappointed some people!"
