Chapter 75 The determination to win

More than 50,000 home fans "welcome" Tony Donne with booing has become a thing of the past. The referee has long blew the whistle to the start of the game. Fans have focused on cheering the Forests, and Tony Donne has no longer cared about it.

From the scene, Nottingham Forest, who plays at home, obviously has the upper hand. After all, they have played together for many years, and even if they change to the head coach, there is no loss of tacit understanding. And... even if they are facing the team led by the original leader, there is no need to let the water out in the game. Tang En has never taught them to let the water out in the face of old friends.

The locker room in Nottingham Forest was obviously divided into three factions. One was a loyal player who firmly supported Tony Donn, such as Pepe. The other was a player who was full of resentment towards Tony Donn. If you want to talk about the representative figures... Wood should be considered one. The other was a fence-riding party in the middle. They did not express their opinions clearly. They did not have a very obvious emotional tendency towards Tony Donn's departure like Pepe and Wood. Such people accounted for the majority.

In the game, this split was also reflected. George Wood was particularly excited. He shuttled and intercepted tirelessly in the midfield, and actively stepped forward to participate in the offense.

O'Neal gave up the 4231 formation that Donn originally worked and changed to 442. Wood was the only midfielder in the midfield, and Shahin played the front midfielder. The two full-backs were Fernandez and Bentley. The forwards were Alonmittchel and Abonrajo. The defenders were Gareth Bale, Pepe, Thiago Silva and Rafinia respectively from left to right. The goalkeeper was still Akinfeyev.

This lineup is no different from that of Don Eun at that time. It seems that O'Neal still intends to follow the main framework left by Don Eun. However, if what Pepe said is true, then O'Neal will soon worry about finding another central defender.

On the other hand, a group of temporary third-team teams have to be tacit and have no tacit understanding, have no skills and tactics, and are not very motivated in the away game. They are really lucky to have not been scored by Nottingham Forest in the first ten minutes.

Defender Jack Cook passed the football to Delphi in the midfield. This was originally an ordinary 15-meter diagonal pass, which was a technical move that any professional football player could do, but Cook missed the ball. Cook couldn't blame Cook, because Delphi also had to bear part of the responsibility.

The moment Cook passed the ball out, Delphi thought Cook wanted to drive the ball by himself, so he stood there without moving. The ball passed by Cook needed to make Delphi run and respond, so the football and Delphi passed by and rolled directly to Shahin's feet.

The fans in the stands gave Cook a burst of laughter.

After seeing this scene in the stands, Tang shook his head: "What a mob."

He said it right. This England is a mob. Some players who have rarely or even never selected into the national team before have been pieced together temporarily. I hope they can perform well? That's simply a fantasy.

Don Eun listened to the laughter of the forest fans on the court, neither annoyed nor anxious. Yes, these players were not of sufficient level or experience, but they had advantages that others had not noticed - compared with the English team that had big names, the team in front of him was more fighting spirit. Because they had reasons to work hard.

If you want to catch my eye, you have to show some hard work.

But the mob is the mob. After 25 minutes of this England resisted, the goal guarded by Chris Cockland was finally blown away by Alonmitchel with his head.

The cheers burst out at Crimson Stadium this time were even louder than when welcoming Forest players into the field. The deafening sound was like Niagara Falls pouring down in his ears, rumbling like continuous thunder rolling. It was stirring in everyone's heart.

This is the first time Tang En has experienced the power of a new stadium, and he is a little shocked - playing in such a stadium must be more enjoyable than playing in a city stadium.

"The goal scorer is Aaron--" The announcer on the stadium broadcast led the fans to shout.

"Mitcher!!!" the fans in the stands answered loudly.

"In the 26th minute, Alonmitchel scored the first record for Nottingham Forest! Beautiful wing cooperation. Grab the point in the middle! Mitchel's height and bounce advantage made David Whit and Anton Ferdinand helpless! Before the game, someone was worried that the Nottingham Forest would perform as if he had lost his soul when he left Tony Donne, but judging from this goal, this worry was unnecessary. The players of the Forest team quickly adapted to their new head coach and were not rude when facing Tony Donne... It seems that Tony Donne's first national team game is about to encounter Waterloo!" The commentator's tone was a little gloating. In fact, it is the wish of many people to see that Tony Donne, who has always been strong, was the wish of many people, and this commentator cannot be spared.

After the goal, the fans reacted enthusiastically, while the goalkeepers had no intention of celebrating. On the one hand, this was just a friendly match. Not even a warm-up match of quality, and there was no pride in scoring a goal. On the other hand, it was because they were facing Tony Donne, the boss. The person Mitcher should thank for the most in his career in this life was Tony Donne. If it weren't for him, he would have been playing the centre-back with no prospects all his life, and was abandoned by the Forest team, and spent his days in a low-level league team, and finally retired silently. He was standing on the side with Pepe.

After scoring the goal, Dimitcher didn't even wave to respond to the fans' cheers for him. He turned around and ran back. Occasionally he shook his head. He felt that the people he picked were too weak...

Those who are truly happy with the goal are Martin O'Neal and Evan Doggety. The former is because of the possibility of defeating Tony Donne. Although a friendly match cannot explain too much. But it can certainly get rid of Tony Donne's shadow for the time being. People don't always say "Tony Donne's successor" when they mention him, such a long and complicated title.

The latter's happiness was because he heard the cheers burst out from the stands. The hearts of the people are still on his side...

Tang En expressed his dissatisfaction with the goal. He shook his head on the coach's seat and said to Walker: "The defense is not tacit enough... I shouldn't give Bentley a chance to cross."

Walker nodded: "There's nothing to do, Tony. They have only been practicing together for a long time. I think we should not care about the result of this game..."

"No." Tang En refused Walker's proposal firmly. "This game must be won."

Walker didn't continue. He could vaguely guess why Tang En had to win this game. The reason was very complicated. In addition to establishing his authority, he was probably also stimulated by the booings when he entered the court. When did Tony Tang En admit defeat? He gave in? If others boo him, then he would have to prove his strength. Simply put, he just likes to fight against others. No wonder such a person with strong personality offends so many people.

Walker felt that perhaps he was really the most suitable candidate for being an assistant coach in England.   If someone else was to be Tang En's assistant, I'm afraid that a three-minute disagreement would make him quarrel.     Only someone who knows Tang En so well can play the role of a lubricant.

Think about it carefully, the person who can be an assistant coach for Tang En must be a good-tempered and good-natured gentleman. For example, he, David Chris Lack, and the Chinese Don. No wonder Roy Keane rejected the invitation of Tang En to be an assistant coach twice. If the Irishman came, they might not even be able to make friends...

Nottingham Forest fans are optimistic about the outcome of the game, especially after Mitchel scored. In their opinion, winning is not a problem, the problem is that the team can win several goals of the England third team. If they win in the end, they will be worth it this afternoon.

Tang En observed off the court for a while. He decided to make adjustments. Taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, he called Ashley Cole, the captain close to him. He gave this advice.

After returning to the court, Ashley Cole conveyed Donn's latest instructions to his teammates, and then England shrank its formation and began to enter the defensive stage.

Don't see that Nottingham Forest is rising in the cheering of fans one after another. Look at O'Neal's excitement on the sidelines, you can guess that Forest will take advantage of the situation to attack in the future.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  �

So he chose to retreat, and he retreated in a very ugly way.

The commentator laughed: "We saw Tony Donn's signature skill again. Compared to him, Nottingham Forest's new head coach Martin O'Neal is obviously more active. He is directing the team to press the attack and strive to score another goal."

After paying the price of ugly and being ridiculed, Donn's team successfully defended the score of 0:1 to the halftime break. No matter how bombarded Nottingham Forest, England's goal was not over. This made the fans in the stands very bored - the opponent was a temporary piece of England third team, and almost all the main players were on the field, but they still couldn't do anything about them.

It’s very simple to stick to it. Everyone just needs to clamp up and make sure what they are going to do.

The only half-day training time. Tang En asked the team to practice land and defend. Everyone felt strange at that time. Now they understood the head coach's good intentions...

When the whistle sounded at the intermission, Tang En was the first to get up from his seat. He walked towards the corridor first. When the camera thought of giving Tang En another close-up, he could only take a picture of his back in the corridor.

"A very boring first half. As long as Tony Donne is there, the game will not be good. Martin O'Neal brought a touch of fresh air to Nottingham Forest, and Tony Donne brought what he is good at in the Forest to England. We don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. But as Donne himself said, victory is the only criterion for testing whether a head coach is successful. As long as he can lead the team to win, those voices questioning him will disappear."

Tang En watched the players enter in the locker room. He closed the door when everyone was there. The sound insulation of the new stadium was much better than that of the city stadium. Once the door was closed, the noise outside was almost inaudible.

"I have to praise you for your good performance in the second half of the first half. You defended the offense of the Triple Crown team. Consider that you only had one day to form a team and could only concede one goal. I have nothing to complain about. "Tang En first gave the group a candied date. Then...

"But.  " He changed his subject.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        �

He smiled. “From now on, I am the head coach of England, you must remember this. I am a person who likes victory and hates failure, and my team must also like victory and hates failure.”

The players looked at him quietly.

"Does anyone like failure?" he asked.

Someone shook his head.

"Look. We now have a common language and a common goal." Tang En spread his hands, "In the second half of the defensive counterattack, they will definitely use the wings to threaten our goal. We will in turn use the space behind the two of them. "

Don't know much about Nottingham Forest. Even though he has changed his head coach now, Don't still finds through observations in the first half that Forest team has not changed much. At least, the wing offense that is best at is well maintained. Isn't the only goal of the Forest team the goal initiated by the wing offense?

"Stop passing too much in the midfield, play over the top more, and try to pass long. "Tang En talks about the long-term British pass that was sneered by countless people in the past. However, it is good to deal with the increasingly delicate Nottingham Forest.

Martin O'Neal instilled a kind of beauty in Nottingham Forest, football is refreshing and his work for more than a month has not been in vain. But what he didn't notice was that the most important thing is slowly losing in Nottingham Forest.

"Your attitude towards playing football is a little tougher, don't be afraid of being injured! How can you be injured? It's you who take the initiative. It's not them. Only passive will be injured. So you are afraid that you will be injured more likely. Let go of your hands and feet and do nothing!"

"Shahin has good passing skills, but has been seriously injured and is still a little concerned about physical contact. You can seize this point. Use more close-fitting presses on him, and small movements must not be missing, so that he cannot pass the ball comfortably. Mitcher's skills and heading are good. But don't look at his height. His physical ability is very weak, and his physical strength is his weakness. Force him to run and fight him, so that he can use all his strength to this point. The more he goes to the back, he will be less threatening.

The speed is fast, but the shooting skills are rough, and there is nothing to worry about. Don't let him kick from the wing. Stop Mitcher is equivalent to blocking Abanglaho..." Donn analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of all the players in Nottingham Forest and told them how to deal with it. Except for those new players who have only joined the team this summer, he almost told everyone. He is very familiar with Nottingham Forest, and he doesn't have to do his homework in advance. He can tell as much as he wants.

Then he talked about George Wood.

He was stuck.

He didn't know what to say. He knew Wood very well, but he couldn't tell how to deal with this kid. He waved his hand and could only say nothing, which made the players who were already full of expectations a little disappointed and confused.

Martin O'Neal was not very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half because he sent all the main lineups to score 1:0. You should know that their opponent is England's third team.

If Tony Done was here, he would definitely curse and tell them that he would only lead the first half with one goal. But O'Neal couldn't do this. If he really did, his approval rating in the locker room would definitely drop sharply.

It's just that unfair. The more Tang En scolds, the more charming it becomes, while others have to serve them carefully.

After O'Neal expressed his dissatisfaction in a tactful manner, he re-arranged the tactics. He believed that Don En would insist on defending counterattack in the second half. For someone who has studied him thoroughly, guessing this is not difficult. Generally speaking, defensive counterattacks will only be used when they are leading, but Don En always uses this when they are behind one goal. On the one hand, he ensures that he will not continue to concede the ball, and on the other hand, he relies on sneak attacks to equalize the score and disrupt the opponent's arrangement. What's hateful is that he has succeeded repeatedly and has been tried and tested.

O'Neal's order to the Forests was to win the first goal at the beginning. If the situation was wrong, then shrink the defense line and deal with Donne in the midfield. Anyway, if you compete in the midfield, Nottingham Forest will definitely win.

After talking about the tactics, O'Neal repeated his request: "You must win this game!"

The players looked at each other and suddenly felt that this was not as simple as a friendly match to celebrate the launch of the Crimson Field...
Chapter completed!
