Chapter 13: Losing the game and losing money

No matter how loud the slogan is, no matter how hard Tangen's mouth is. Carlspike's analysis is not unreasonable.

With eight rounds left in the league, Nottingham Forest has to fight on the third line, which is really difficult.

Physical fitness will definitely have an impact, and the state will also fluctuate. Physical difficulties can only make the team grit their teeth and persist, and the adjustment of the state depends on the coaches' level. It has to be said that the psychologists that Tang En hired for Shahin a few years ago are very effective at this time. Many players will chat with beautiful and gentle psychologists after the training to relax their nervous nerves after the training.

On March 22, the 31st round of the league. Nottingham Forest challenged Aston Villa away, the final score was 3:2. Nottingham Forest won, but it was very difficult to win. The Forest team fell behind 0:2 in the first half and overtook 3:2 in the second half. All three goals were scored in the last ten minutes. This game was the most exciting game in the Premier League in the round. Both sides scored a total of five goals, and one of them was blown away by the referee, and there was a red card and six yellow cards. The offense and defense were very fast. The two sides made many active mistakes, and the scene looked very lively. But for Don't, it was not "exciting"... If he lost to an opponent like Aston Villa away, he wouldn't have to talk about the bold statement of winning the championship at the end of the season.

So when Cohen forced a breakthrough at the last moment and made a cross and assisted Shahin to score a goal, Tang En did not jump from the coach's seat and celebrated wildly. Instead, he collapsed in a chair, closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. His heart was beating very, very fast just now... making him think that his nuclear-powered heart was about to collapse.

Eastwood was hugging and celebrating with his teammates at first, and then he found that there was one missing person next to him. He turned around and found that the lesser person was still sitting in the chair and did not get up. He saw something wrong with Tang En's expression, lazy and tired, and was not excited at all, so he hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you? Boss? Is your heart?"

Tang En shook his head and smiled, "Hehe."

"What does 'hehe' mean?"

"I'm so happy, we finally won..." Donn stretched out his hand to Eastwood, who pulled him up, and Donn gave him a hug.

"Just win, Freddy."

Eastwood's eyes rolled, and he thought of the bet between the boss and Spike - such gambling, the words that are not very good if you lose... "Why are you? The boss? He insists on making that kind of bet with others. You said it when eating the table... Actually, I can't understand why you like to bet with someone who is beaten, which makes it embarrassing to lose?"

"I'm very lazy, Freddy. Don't put any pressure on yourself, afraid that you can't walk." Done patted Eastwood on the back and let go of him.

Then he clenched his fists and spread his arms to face the others.

"Ah, David! Come! Let's have a warm hug! Cohen and Shahin did awesome!"

Eastwood looked behind her back at the head who had suddenly recovered all his firepower and shook his head.

"Tony Donn escaped... His luck is always so good. In the game, Aston Villa scored a goal by the referee. Because they were offside. If the ball was not offside... the final result is hard to say. He made a bold statement a few days ago that he wanted to compete for the league championship and if he lost, he would eat the table. Now he has forced himself into a dead end and can't afford to lose a game... No, let alone lose. Even if he loses, he can't afford to tie."

The football commentator on TV analyzed the just-concluded Premier League round for the audience. He said this when talking about the match between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.

"But the hard winning of this game makes people worry whether his team has the ability to always reverse like this. I can say that the victory in this game is entirely because Don Eun is lucky, so what about the next game? The next game against Chelsea. Can Tony Don Eun have good luck?"

"Rijkaard's Chelsea have played beautiful football in recent years. I think they are a unique landscape in the Premier League, just like Wenger's Arsenal. But so beautiful football never wins the championship... I think Mr. Abramovich must be very confused. What? What do you ask me about? Imagine a person dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding a job made of gold and went out to beg for food..."

Don En fired the first shot at Chelsea's psychological warfare in the media again.

Familiar with whom Tang En was, Jacardi ignored him. Seeing that the other party refused to respond, Tang En fired a second shot in the media.

"Although the team will officially move to the new stadium next season, I still prefer this old stadium. Why? Because it is small enough to allow the fans' voices to reach the players on the field to the maximum extent, it will naturally bring huge psychological pressure to the visiting stadium. We have four home stadiums at the city stadium. I hope we can say goodbye to the city stadium with four victories and a championship trophy."

Rijkald still didn't express any opinion.

"I don't mind turning this game into a rugby game. Within the scope permitted by the rules, I will ask the team to try to put pressure on the opponent's players as much as possible.   Rough? No, no, I don't think.  This is just a normal tactic..."

The third shot.

Tang En is such an annoying person. He will always try to wander in front of your eyes, stimulate you, and annoy you. When you are really angry, he will win.

Before this game, Don Eun talked about what tactics he would use to deal with Chelsea. He was not afraid that this would make the opponent prepare in advance. He knew Rijkaard's characteristics, so even if he knew this, he was not afraid. Rijkaard would stick to his football style at the city stadium, and Don Eun would stick to his style.

As the saying goes, one thing is to defeat another, Tony Donn is the natural enemy of Jacard.

In the noisy city stadium, a fierce Premier League match is in progress.

"Forest Forest! Nottingham Forest! Lalalalala - we are invincible, we are invincible! We are the best team in the world! Lalalalalala-"

The city stadium stands can accommodate up to 30,000 people, and the Forest team fans wearing red jerseys are singing and cheering up their team.

The score displayed on the scoreboard is 0:0. Nottingham Forest and Chelsea are temporarily tied.

Tang En stood on the sidelines, observing every detail of the game with concentration and tension.

Wood just tackled Chelsea striker Obasi. He was verbally warned by the referee. Now he is making gestures to his teammates, indicating that everything is normal and continue to do what he said.

Tang En once studied the characteristics of the referee when he formulated tactics before the game. The referee who enforced the game in this game has enforced the law for nine Premier League games this season, showing a total of twenty yellow cards, not even a red card, and was a referee with a soft whistle. So he worked hard from this point and asked the whole team to move bigger.

Wood's foul was actually testing the referee's law enforcement standards in this game.

He shoveled Obasi on the front, but only received a verbal warning. Donne laughed below, and it seemed that this Dodd man was indeed very soft.

Then he would feel relieved.

The subsequent game officially entered the track of Nottingham Forest. Chelsea players conceded the ball in "physical contact" with Forest players many times, but the referee did not think it was a foul, but just a "reasonable collision". This made the Chelsea players a little dissatisfied and their mentality was unbalanced on the court. Even their head coach Rijkaard was angry at the referee's several penalty decisions. He rushed to the fourth official several times to protest the forest players' rough movements.

He even said: "Before the game, Tony Donn said that he would use rough tactics to deal with us, and now he has got what he wants! Don't you have any opinions?"

The fourth official shook his head and said that the referee was the only criterion for mastering the scale of this game. If he thought the players of the Forest team did not foul. Then there would be no foul.

It was not until the 31st minute of the game that the Forest team received a yellow card after a series of fierce fouls. Rijkald was so angry that he applauded the referee's penalty off the court, and he received a cordial greeting from the fourth official: "Mr. Rijkald, you'd better pay attention to your words and deeds."

Rijkald is not Tony Donn, he dares to fight the referees to the end. After being warned, he retracted his coaching seat and just punched the side baffle on the coaching seat with some anger. The result...

With a thud, the hard plastic baffle was smashed and fell off the frame and fell to the ground.

Rijkald didn't care. He was very angry now. What's the point of smashing a baffle? Or maybe he didn't see this scene at all. Anyway, he didn't look at the "accident" next to him, and continued to complain in the coach's seat.

When Tang En saw this scene, he clapped his hands and laughed: "Great! After the game, he sent a private bill to Mr. Rijkald in the name of the club, and asked him to be responsible for compensation."

Chris Lack nodded beside him, indicating that he remembered it.

Not long after this yellow card, Forest took the lead. Gago scored a long shot, but Cech could not save it. He could only sigh at the "ball".

"yes!" Tang En clenched his fists on the sidelines and shouted excitedly.

Rijkald, not far away, was going to beat the baffle beside him again, but this time he beat the baffle and almost flashed to his waist. He noticed that the baffle beside him was gone. "Mom..." Looking at the empty frame beside him and the baffle beside him, he couldn't help but curse and swear.

The game commentator also noticed this small detail. Looking at Rijkald's expression of surprise and dissatisfaction, he laughed: "It seems that the city stadium, which has been in service for 115 years, is indeed due to retirement. Even the baffle of the visiting team's coaching seat is so unsolid. It was taken off by Rijkald's slight hit... Ha!"

The city courts were even louder after leading the way. Fans took turns singing songs they often sang in the stands. There was the Nottingham Forest team song "The World is in Our Hands". There was the George Wood song "He is Our St. George", the Tony Donn song "Long Live Tony". There was the Bell song "Little Monkey". There was the Mitcher song "Seven Foot Zidane" and the Ibissevic song "The Song"

Super Ibi, there is a praise of Gago, "He is our Redondo"... Of course, there is also the song of Eastwood "Robin Hood forever". Any popular player will have a song of fans. This is not a patent for Nottingham Forest, which is the characteristic of all English teams. So it depends on the status of a player in the Premier League club. Just listen to whether there are fans singing songs compiled for him during the game.

The Forest team gradually took the initiative on the field in the fans' concert and ran with Chel's nose.

Chelsea in Mourinho's era was a very tough team. At that time, Don N would not use the current tactics to deal with them, because it would only lead to both sides. But after Rijcard's "hard work" over the past few years, Chelsea has abandoned its former "blue-collar temperament" and transformed into a "senior white-collar worker". The new generation of Chelsea players are mainly skilled, and they play like Barcelona in the past, paying attention to controlling the ball and being able to play exquisite cooperation. The stars can also perform gorgeous performances that are amazing. But they have lost the "fighting spirit" that Mourinho has always emphasized.

This is also the reason why Rijkaard's Chelsea is the most beautiful team in the Premier League but always misses the championship - he can make Chelsea another Barcelona, ​​but the Premier League is not La Liga.

With no fighting spirit and only a glamorous appearance, Tony Donn is not afraid at all. In the second half, with Donn's halftime encouragement. The team continued to work hard and continued to use rough tactics to limit Chelsea's offense. The referee's whistle was indeed very soft. In the end, Nottingham Forest made 27 fouls in the whole game, but he only got four yellow cards. No red card was available.

Relying on rough fouls and fast and fierce counterattacks, the Forest team won another goal in the second half, and finally defeated their first strong opponent Chelsea on the way to win the championship with a score of 2:0.

After the game, Rijkaard was indignant about the failure of this game. He believed that the referee's multiple key decisions were beneficial to Nottingham Forest, which was a key factor in his loss of this game.

Tang En retorted: "I fully understand Mr. Rijkald's dissatisfaction because he knocked down our visiting coach's seat."

A burst of laughter came from the reporter. That incident became a tidbit of the game and was replayed many times during the live broadcast of the game.

"But I don't make any comments on the referee in this game. I believe that every penalty made by the referee has his reason. As a team, we just need to obey..."

When his team was treated unfairly by the referee, he would not say such things.

Rijkald wanted to refute something, but he suddenly remembered that the person sitting next to him was Tony Donn, not Wenger, Benitez or someone else, so he closed his mouth, which had just opened.

He thought he was unlucky...

A day later, just after Rijcard had led the team back to London, he found a bill from Nottingham Wilford in his mailbox.

That was sent to him by Nottingham Forest Club, asking him to compensate for the visiting coach's seat that was smashed during the game.

The bill also attached a short letter. The letter hopes that he can compensate for the losses. He spoke very respectfully. But Rijkaard gritted his teeth when he saw it - he led the team to lose to the Forest team, but he also had to pay for their visiting team coach's seat baffle... How could there be such an unlucky head coach like himself?

At that moment, he was angry and kneaded the bill in his hand into a ball. But then he unfolded it and looked it helplessly again.

He had to pay for this money because he did break someone's things...
