Chapter 91: Do you want to make a bet? (Part 2)

Forests won the League Cup, which is a big deal in Nottingham. Although there is a mortal enemy in the city, this does not prevent Forests fans from driving the Forests bus to Nottingham from driving from Cardiff to Nottingham.

This is a very grand welcome ceremony! You should know that the Forest team won the European Champions League that such a scene occurred when the fans spontaneously gathered outside the Derby County Airport and drove with the team's bus.

Now that the decline of Nottingham Forest has long forgotten the taste of the championship, and even the glory of the European champion has been gradually forgotten. At this time, Donn asked them to relive this classic moment, how could it not lead to crazy? So although it is only the lightest League Cup champion among the three English champions, Nottingham Foresters also gave enough enthusiasm.

Champion! No matter what the championship is, we only need to win now! Nottingham Foresters have had enough days without a championship!

Pierce Bruce published a passionate article outside the Nottingham Evening Post that afternoon. He wrote in it: "...only the champion can make us remember again - we were the kings of Europe! We were once glorious! But the difference is that now we don't have to linger in the dreams of the past, we have new pride - Coach Tony Donn and his Nottingham Forest!"

Almost all local media in Nottingham - except those who support Nordsshire - have reported on the front page about the grand occasion of the Forests' championship. For the Forests, which are still on the verge of relegation in the first half of the season, their fans are like a thrilling roller coaster, experiencing ups and downs, pain and joy.

Not only Nottingham's local media, because it became the first domestic champion in England this season, other media have attached great importance to it. Miss Barbara Lucy is almost too busy to maintain her professional smile... The Forest Club received interview requests from fifty-six media in just two days, including several overseas media.

If one family is queuing up, it is estimated that they will be queuing until the end of this season. Moreover, this celebration-related event will take too long, which will seriously affect the team's preparation for the league. After discussing with Allen Adams, Donn decided to hold a press conference collectively to meet all the requirements of the media.

The press conference was very effective, and the image of the Forest team has been further improved. The young and promising head coach and American-style boss are the focus of people's attention. In addition, the legendary experience of the Forest team so far this season - in England for a period of time. "The "football critic" who posted a commentary on the rise of the Piao Astronomy Station - Mr. Jon Carter. He spoke for Middlesbrough in his commentary after the game, believing that the Forest team won the championship in a very ugly way. They had no ambition in the game, played conservative and backward football, and even won the championship. This is a shame for the League Cup final. In the end, he also mocked the Forest team's ranking in the First Division:

"Who can imagine a team that is not playing in the top league of our country to represent a country in the UEFA Cup? What will other countries think about the local people in the country? They will definitely laugh at England for having no team that can make a move! Don't you believe it? Let's take a look!"

In addition, Mark Laurenson, who was not optimistic about Donn's Mark Laurenson in the final stage of last season, also talked about the prospects of the Forest team in the "Today's Game" program again. He is still not optimistic about the team being promoted to the Super League after the season ends. The reason seems to be very sufficient and convincing - because the Forest team has spent too much energy in the League Cup. The smart head coach will definitely give up on the league, after all, they have already qualified for the League Cup next season. UEFA did not say that teams in the second-level league of a certain country cannot participate in the League Cup.

The former, Jon Carter, and Don had never heard of this person's name before. He rarely went to espn websites, and traditional media did not have the name of this person. He felt that as a "champion coach", he was pointed at the nose and scolded by an unknown man. He was very unhappy. So he asked Pierce Bruce: "Where did the bastard come out?"

Bruce told him the answer - Joan Carter has no reputation in the English football comment circle. This may be his first time evaluating real football.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

His understanding of real football and his argument that he was seriously behind the times may all come from the information he got during the game of football. He then processed it with "taken for granted" and sold it.

Although Tang En is also a loyal player in various football games, this does not mean that he will feel intimate with strangers who have never met before. Tang En is now a little famous, and suddenly wants to vent his previous resentment from the media to the pitiful Carter player. So he wrote a complete collection of irony full of cold humor and exaggerated satirical words, as well as an open letter that made the British feel very novel and unaware of "Chinese English", which made Bruceden in the Nottingham Evening Post. As a counterattack against those guys who don't know anything and like to speak randomly, and snort when they see someone who doesn't fit their own ideas - he gave Mr. Carter a code name called "Troll".

Jon Carter, who was ridiculed by Don En, was naturally unwilling to be humiliated, so he also posted an article on espn to fight back. Don En was not in a hurry to reply, which seemed to be eager to fight with him. He threw a few hundred words in the Evening Post every now and then to continue to mock the "troll" who claimed that Nottingham Forest was playing football that was a century behind the world football world.

In fact, the reason why these two people talked in the media is boring. Whether they pursue good offensive football or utilitarian football that can bring championships is "a topic that has been talking about for half a century" in Tang En's own words. There is no need to continue the discussion at all. But Tang En's amazing rhetoric and humor in his reply feasted the audience. So this became another focus of the English football world for a period of time.

Because football players generally receive a low level of education. There are even many people who cannot speak fluent standard English. So head coaches like Tang En who can write sharp words by themselves and use various rhetoric techniques have been sought after by many people.

For example, the British Brief English Organization (plain_english_campaign) announced that English footballers should learn from Tony Donne because his metaphor is always just right and impressive. Because they often complain that many people in football are incomprehensible: "The 'philosophical words' of football people have always brought us great obstacles, and they are used to talking first and then thinking."

The two sides were fighting each other and the lively, and the president of the Nottingham Evening Post was also very clever to realize that this was an opportunity to make a big fuss. So he sent a invitation to open a column in their newspaper by Pierce Bruce. No fixed form, no fixed word count, no fixed time... When will Tang En have ideas about certain things or someone and want to say it to everyone, he can publish articles in his column. The newspaper paid Tang En's manuscript fee according to the word count. If the contract expires and the two parties feel that they can continue to cooperate, they can still renew it.

Tang En felt that this idea was very good, and he was eager to have a platform that could express his opinion. He needed to hold a press conference every time. How inefficient it was...

The two parties negotiated the contract term and treatment and immediately signed an agreement. In this way, Tang En had his own media column for the first time in his life and had royalties to get.

Tony Donn, who received the support of the Nottingham Evening Post's royalties, opened fire and Jon Carter quickly lost. So the origin was boring, just to unilaterally show Donn's ridicule level of verbal battle officially ended. Like on the football field, Donnn also won the war in the media.

Jon Carter is an unknown little character, with a slight slight word.   The other person, Don Ever has to deal with him in a different way.   He did not criticize Mark Laurenson's view of his team's prospects, but he clearly told Mark Laurenson in his column:

"... Just like many people once said that Nottingham Forest would not be able to win the League Cup, just like a few months ago that Nottingham Forest would definitely be relegated, now someone has come out and said, "Notingham Forest cannot be upgraded successfully.' Although I have always been dismissive of this statement, I don't want my players to feel that I am accusing of this nonsense. So I sincerely and seriously invite Mr. Mark Laurenson to make a bet with me - I bet my team will appear in the Premier League next season. If I win... Do you remember what Mr. Laurenson said last season? I would be happy to see him shaved off his beard. If I lose, I shaved off all my hair!"
