Chapter 74 Winter Transfer (Part 1)

Sunderland, who was behind at home, was unwilling to lose. They pushed the ball in the last ten minutes of the game, hoping to equalize the score. Donne removed the exhausted Rebrov and allowed Australian midfielder Jacob Burns to play. This was not a substitution for the defensive midfielder to replace the offensive midfielder, but a substitution for the offensive midfielder. Donne, who led the lead, changed his passiveness to be suppressed by the home team in 770 minutes, and used offense to make Sunderland dare not push the ball across the board. Jacob Burns' pass organization was better than Rebrov. With him on the court, the Forest's midfielder was better controlled.

As time goes by, Sunderland's team became more and more impatient, and the gap in the backcourt was almost catching up with the Crater on the Moon. Tang En knew that as long as he scored another goal, he would win.

Soon, his wish was fulfilled.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's heavy pressure, the Forest successfully intercepted the ball at the front of the penalty area and then made a quick counterattack. Burns made a wonderful pass from the midfield, Eastwood inserted from the wing, and after receiving the ball, he was one-on-one with the opponent's goalkeeper. Then calmly and calmly hit the ball into the lower right corner.

At this time, the time on the big screen was frozen for ninety minutes. The Light Stadium was dead silent and there was no sound again.

Donn turned his head to look at Walker, and a smile appeared on his face: "Des, we won again."

Walker waved his fist at the stadium and said to Don Eun: "That's right, I can't wait to see what the media are going to say tomorrow!"

"Freddy Eastwood! He is the star of this game!" Motson shouted excitedly in the commentary seat. It was so good to see a dull player who achieved success and fame with his own eyes!

This ball completely destroyed the fighting spirit and confidence of Sunderland's counterattack. They were defeated by an amateur player who had been playing for the first time and had a broken leg.

The final score of this game was 2:0. Nottingham Forest defeated fourth-ranked Sunderland in the away game with Eastwood, who emerged from nowhere and scored a valuable three-pointer.

That night. After the last game, the latest rankings of the league also came out.

Sunderland still accumulated 44 points because of losing to Nottingham Forest, but what worries the fans of the "Black Cats" is that the gap between them and the teams behind them is getting closer and closer. Preston won the ball, his points rose from 40 to 43, and his ranking also reached fifth in the league.

Because the teams ranked sixth in the league and seventh in the league tied, the gap between the seventh and fourth places in the league is only one point. Three forty-three. One forty-four...

Such close points are the result that Tang En likes to see except for his own team winning.

Because Nottingham Forest won the ball, its points went from 31 to 34, and its ranking also rose from 18th to 15th. It was only one point behind Walshar, who ranked 14th. The teams on the Forest team's points were from low to high, from 35, 36, 37, and 38th...

Of course, the Forest team's own position may not be solid, because below them, three teams have accumulated 33 points, and the other one has accumulated 32 points.

Such a point ranking. It only takes one round of the league to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Seven days later, Don't have a team that will usher in the 28th round of the league at home, Reading, who ranks tenth with 39 points, is also in the category of "must win".

Five days after the game, on January 22nd. Nottingham Forest continued to be at home, but this time it was a real fierce battle - the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals. Their opponent was Premier League team Bolton, who had last Premier League round. They just narrowly defeated Blackburn 4:3.

After playing home game, the Forest team was away from the Reebok Stadium on January 28th. This is the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

The schedule is not intensive, basically one week game. But these three games are a bad battle for the Forest team. Tang En is unwilling to join the First Division next season, and he personally promised the qualification of the League Cup.

Such a question has troubled him, and he has been wondering for two consecutive days - whether to give up a league game, let the competitors catch up with him again, and then compete for the league cup that is very accidental?

Because the latest schedule of the League Cup has come out, the league's schedule will also be adjusted. The 29th round of the league, originally scheduled to be held on January 31, Nottingham Forest's away challenge to Cardiff City was postponed to April 7.

This is good news for Don En, because he can make up for the league that he has not played after sprinting to the League Cup. Even if he temporarily lags behind other teams, it is because he has one less game. It is like putting victory and three-pointers in advance and getting it out after the time.

Donne returned from Sunderland with three points and heard good news from the transfer market. Forests won the main central defender of Odham Odham for 300,000 pounds. But Donne was still worried about the defense line. After Dawson left, only Wes Mogan was the real central defender of the team. Chris Doyg, who is currently partnering with him, is not a pure central defender. The central defender is obviously unsafe to rely on Mogan and the newly joined Di Hill. Donne may be able to settle in other positions, but on the defense line. He will never be careless.

This time he put his thoughts on Chelsea.

With the Russian boss joining, Chelsea inevitably has the temperament of a nouveau riche after becoming rich. Ranieri is not an independent and personal coach. Chelsea has crazily bought nine new players this summer. In the central defender position, veteran Deselli is in charge, young player Terry is becoming more mature, and William Garras, who can play anywhere in the defense line, and even Glen Johnson, have been put into the central defender by Ranieri for several games, not to mention players like Gremy and Melchiot who must be a thriving player in order to play. As a pot-making maker Ranieri really needs to play any position.

Therefore, in such a competitive environment, the German young player, Robert Huth, who is only 18 years old, can only play with the reserve team in the club. Don En originally wanted to buy it directly, and it should be able to handle it with more than 2 million pounds, but Chelsea attaches great importance to Huth and believes that he will become the main force of the club's future central defender and teamed up with Terry, and is not willing to let him go. So Don En could only settle for the next best - loan.

Ranieli believes that it is a good idea to go out for exercise on loan to Hut. Chelsea, who is rich and powerful, will not require Forest to pay the players' salary like Leeds. This time, Done can get the future main substitute central defender of the German national team without spending a penny.

After winning Clint Hill and Robert Hutter in succession, the central defender vacancy left by Michael Dawson was finally filled.

Don't give Evan the requirement that the team's signing work must be basically completed before the start of the League Cup semi-finals, so that he can have a complete team, formulate complete tactics, and achieve the whole team's joint training.

So the Forest accelerated its work in the transfer market. After winning Clint Hill, Moore brought Donn news that satisfies him. Chris Commons' level fully meets the requirements of the Forest, and he himself is happy to join the Forest. Although he is a player trained by Stoke City, his favorite team is Nottingham Forest coached by Donn. The player is happy, and the Forest also expressed enough sincerity in the opening price. In the end, the deal was sold for 300,000 pounds. For a young player who just played in the first team, the price of Forest Folio is already very generous.

However, the team paid 300,000 yuan to buy Commons, but became "stingy" in terms of loaning Steve McFair. The Forests proposed to loan Leeds United. Leeds insisted that the Forests pay 90% of the weekly salary for the player. Both Donn, Evan, or Alan Adams, who is more "stingy" than them, disagree with this plan.

At this time, the benefits of the team buying Commons first were reflected. Donne began to speak frequently in front of the media, claiming that he was very satisfied with the joining of Commons. "Although Reed left the team, we have Commons, and fans can look forward to Commons' performance as they look forward to Eastwood." After the team won consecutively, Donne also lifted the ban on the media. As the relationship eased, Commons' performance on the training ground was naturally spread through the media.

This 1.68-meter-long little man has the most classic height on the football field. Although speed is not his specialty, his excellent skills make up for his physical shortcomings. Whether it is passing or shooting, he proved that the Forest team spent the 300,000 pounds unfairly.

Then Allen, who is in charge of player transfer negotiations, told Leeds at the negotiating table: See? Forest is also excellent for the newly signed left midfielder, and we don’t have to pay so much money to rent your people. Forest is only responsible for McPhil’s salary for fifty percent, this is the last offer. If the club disagrees, then forget it. Anyway, we have Chris Commons.
