Chapter 91: Do you want to make a bet? (Part 1)

The capital of Wales, Cardiff, Millennium Stadium. Everything that happened here this afternoon, Tang En will still remember every detail clearly after several years. Because this is his first champion and the starting point of his brilliant journey.

He stood blankly on the sidelines, and there was no one around him - all the Foresters rushed to the court and celebrated the victory of the game with eleven other players. He felt as if he had been hollowed out, exhausted and could not even be able to go up and celebrate the victory with them. What do he want to do most now? It must be to find a quiet place without anyone, then sit down, and slowly enjoy the joy of victory by himself.

But obviously he can't do it now.    There are huge cheers everywhere, and the stadium broadcast is still announcing the winner of the English League Cup this season in a very grand voice.   Every time it can cause the Forest fans in the stands to echo loudly.

"The winner of the English League Cup from 2003 to 2004 is—"

"Forest! We are the champions!!"

When Don Eun was still stunned on the sidelines, his players and coaches ran off the court, then raised him off guard and raised him high above his head. The victory belonged to the Forest team, but if Tony Don Eun had no efforts for this game, then maybe they would have to celebrate now when others cheered and celebrated. So who should be thanked the most after the victory? Everyone knows it very well.

The people standing outside couldn't squeeze in, so they could only sprinkle the water that had not yet been drunk on Tony Donn in the air. His suit was dripping into a rag. But he didn't care anymore, this was a time to enjoy it.

"The players of the Forest team used this method to express their gratitude to head coach Tony Donn.    Before Coach Donn took over the team, this was a team that had no hope at all, ranking fourth from the bottom of the league, losing six rounds in a row, and people were disintegrated.   But now... they are the League Cup champions! Congratulations.   Congratulations, Coach Tony Donn brought out a team with great combat effectiveness.   This is something his predecessor Collimore could not do even when he left, and it became a watershed in the fate of the two of their coaches.   "

"Fourteen years ago, in the 1990 League Cup final, Nottingham Forest won the last championship trophy under the leadership of their legendary coach Brian Crowe. Now, under the leadership of another young coach, they have regained the League Cup championship that has lost to fourteen years. Nottingham Forest fans have reason to look forward to more, and under the leadership of coach Tony Donne. This Forest team gives a refreshing feeling. The A-level team defeated the Super Team and they were unpopular! If the Forest team still stayed in the A-level team at the end of this season, then we will have the honor to see a team in the second level next season, playing in the European arena!"

"Martin, why won't the Forest team be promoted to the super level by the end of the season? It doesn't matter if you directly upgrade or pass the play-offs... After watching today's game, I believe the Forest team must be able to do it." Andy Gray seemed to have become a staunch supporter of Tony Donn, "because they have a very unique head coach."

He thought of John Mortson and said to him: "Coach Donn is a very interesting person. It's very interesting in all aspects."

It's really interesting!

No one cared about the fate of the losers and their mood at this moment. McLaren shook hands with Donne as a routine, and walked back to the locker room. When the organizer set up the championship podium in the center of the stadium, his team had already finished changing clothes and appeared on the sidelines.

At this time, the celebration of the Forest team was still approaching the other side of the stadium where the Forest team fans stands. They were so excited. They would not care about the opponent's psychological feelings at this time, and they released their inner joy. The TV reporters carried cameras and ran with them all over the field. And Tony Donn was not with them, he was blocked by more reporters and accepted interviews and questions from countless people. Pierce Bruce was also among them.

This is a treatment that only winners can enjoy. Tang En likes this treatment.

"...Yes, yes! We are the champions now! The curse of the Nan locker room is useless to us! Why? Because I broke it! I am not afraid of any curse. The facts have proved everything... Unpopular? No, not unpopular! Any team that reaches the finals has the strength and can win the championship. I don't think that the Premier League team must be stronger than the English League One team. This is nonsense! Whoever is stronger? Whoever defeats whoever is stronger than whoever!" Tang En was so excited that he opened his mouth wide, and the reporters around him laughed. How long has it been since they seen the head coach who does not give losers or opponents at all? It's so arrogant... but we like it!

Not arrogant. Without a personality, where does news come from? If we don’t come from news, how can we make a living? While making a coach famous, we also support countless journalists. Why not do it in one fell swoop?

The Forest team's celebration was quickly bound to a small area. Because the award ceremony has begun. In order to express enough respect to their opponents, no matter how happy they are, they must wait on the podium for the runner-up to receive the medal. At this time, we have to suppress our emotions a little.

There is nothing special about the runner-up award. They accepted the silver medal in a low-key manner amid the applause of Middlesbrough fans. Then they walked off the stage depressedly. Then finally came the exciting moment!

The stadium broadcast shouted: "Let us welcome...Champion - Nottingham Forest!!"

"Forest!"

The players of the Forest team walked onto the temporary podium amid the cheers of their supporters, and under the background card with the words "03/04 League Cup Champion". They took the gold medal from the chairman of the league committee Sir Mosine. This is a moment that many people would never dream of - they would become the champions of the League Cup in England and can also participate in the UEFA Cup next season!

When they were still feeling dark about their future in the first half of the season, have they ever thought about this day?

Who brought them such a brilliant moment?

When Tony Done stepped onto the podium, a cheer burst out from the stands that was even bigger than before. All Forest fans knew who brought earth-shaking changes to the team. They thanked him and admired him.

Done walked up to Sir Mosine, the old Sir held his hand and smiled: "Beautiful work, Mr. Done. You have improved the image of the First Division in the public eye! Congratulations to you, champion coach!"

This sentence made Tang En very useful, especially the last word "champion coach".

"Thank you, Sir Mosine." Tang En bowed and asked the other party to hang the gold medal around his neck. He looked down and saw a golden light flashing into his eyes, and his neck sank. This is a real honor, just hanging around his neck!

I also have a title!

The people who came out behind Tang En to receive the gold medal were members of the coaching staff, who worked hard to win the team, and they also had a gold medal.

After the coaching staff members, George Wood came up. Tang En applauded him below while watching him standing in front of the Jazz with interest. The other party held his hand and said something to him. He didn't know what expression to answer, and he seemed a little embarrassed. After all, he was still a little shy big boy! Haha!

Then Wood lowered his head and asked the old Jazz to hang the gold medal around his neck. When he walked off the stage, he was soon pulled into the excited teammates by Weis Morgan.

This is very good, Tang En smiled.

The last person to receive the prize on stage was the team's current captain, goalkeeper Darren Ward. When he took over the exquisite League Cup trophy from the Jazz, the atmosphere of the Millennium Stadium reached its climax. Red paper confetti and ribbons were sprayed out from the background template, flying all over the sky, and the classic song "We Are the Champions" was played on the stadium.

This is the song that Don't have loved the most sung by his favorite band.

We are the champions!

"Congratulations to Nottingham Forest! They are the winners of the 2003-04 England League Cup! They deserve it!"

Donn and Ward each held the trophy's handle and held it high!
Chapter completed!
