Chapter 164 Wood and Eastwood (Part 1)

After the Forests lost to Middlesbrough, Donn's abnormal performance was announced by the media, the first person to react was Moyes.

He found the League Cup Forest team's schedule and then suddenly realized.

The League Cup champion is obviously more attractive.

Thinking about this, Moyes did not breathe a sigh of relief, but instead stepped up training for the team. He wanted to take advantage of this time to pull the points of the two teams away so that Tony Don could not catch up even if he wanted to.

Since Everton lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup at the end of February, they only have one goal in the league this season. When Forests still have to deal with two fronts, they can get enough rest and use their best physical condition to welcome the league to the end.

Moyes, staring at the Forest team's schedule, shook his head and sighed. I really didn't expect that the young man who was confused about the future he saw at the coaching party a year ago had become such a powerful character. It was funny to remember that he asked him to coach the Championship team and wanted to arrange a job for him like a gift...

At that cocktail party, he also said that he was looking forward to the showdown with Tony Donne. Now Moyes believes that he won’t have to wait too long this day. On April 3rd, the 31st round of the league, Nottingham Forest will face Everton at home. If the Forest still cannot be left behind, this game will likely be the final battle that determines the ranking of the two teams in the end.

Speaking of Sporting_club_de_portugal, Don Eun is not unfamiliar with it - of course, what is familiar with is the name of this team, not all Sporting Lisbon players.

Donn is not worried about Sporting Lisbon. He knows that Sporting Lisbon is no longer the same as before. It is declining in Portugal, and has won more than Porto's domestic championships. He has only won one European Cup of Winners in the European arena. That was already forty years ago.

Now this Sporting Lisbon team is no longer as brave as it was. They are currently ranked fourth in the domestic league. There are no big-name stars in the team. It seems to be just an ordinary Portuguese team.

The dream of the highest honor in Europe made Tang En's blood boil and fearless.

He didn't think that the current Sporting Lisbon skills would pose to him. Perhaps the only ones that could pose to him in Portugal were Porto, who still had Mourinho's team, and Benfica.

But if Donn knew half of the UEFA Cup, he would know what Sporting Lisbon’s final result was in this season’s UEFA Cup - runner-up.

According to the League Cup schedule, the quarterfinals. Nottingham Forest and Sporting Lisbon were put in Nottingham in the first round, and the Forest will play home first and then away.

This kind of schedule is the only thing Tang En is worried about. This home and away round-based game that requires calculation of away goals, and playing away games in the end always makes Tang En feel that it is not very safe - he is more accustomed to putting the worst situation at the front. If you play away first, even if you have any mistakes, you will have room for maneuver at home. There is no way to play home first...

When he wanted to devote himself to preparing for the battle with Sporting Lisbon, he was a little annoyed by another thing. Since the media discovered the "story" between George Wood and Eastwood, they have started to hype the relationship between the two - are they enemies or friends?

In fact, careful people will always find that during training. Eastwood is optimistically smiling at everyone, very kind and easy to get along with, but when he faces Wood, his face is a little cold.

The effect of this discovery is completely different after being magnified by the media. Exploring the contradictions inside a team's locker room is what makes countless reporters excited. Such gossip can attract people's attention more than unchanging reports on how the Forest team's performance is.

Will Freddy Eastwood hold a grudge for George Wood breaking his leg?

Will George Wood feel guilty for tackle Eastwood's leg? Or is he as complacent as Roy Keane deposed Haaland? Not many people are saying that George Wood is the most Roy Keane-like player in recent years?

But doesn't anyone think it's incredible that these two people will be together for a year in peace with the same team?

It is impossible for everyone in a team to have a very good relationship, which is common sense that everyone knows. There will always be some people who are not sociable, so who are George Wood and Eastwood?

No matter how you look at it, Eastwood is very popular, but now it is obvious that George Wood is more favored by the club and head coach Tony Donne. The popularity among players and the popularity among senior executives. Which one is more advantageous? Is it still worth mentioning?

So after the "dressing room storm" before the match against Manchester United, after three months, the Forests started another "dressing room storm". Some media swore that they had received internal news from a player of the Forests, saying that George Wood and Freddy Eastwood didn't like each other in the locker room. They never talked, never joked, and tried to avoid being face to face together during training... From this we can see that the relationship between the two is very bad, and they are only one step away from turning against each other.

In fact, this time it was not the media's random fabrication. Those things are well documented, and careful discerning people can see them. Just as there are one or two players in each team that are not very good, so everyone didn't take it seriously before. Now the media has exploded the story behind this - George Wood tackles Eastwood's legs. When everyone thinks about it this way, they feel that things are not as simple as they think.

They felt that this was as unbelievable as Roy Keane and Haaland played in the same team. Haaland once laughed at Roy Keane for pretending to fall during the Manchester derby, and was an absolute liar. As a result, Keane kept holding a grudge. Finally, he seized the opportunity to retaliate in another Manchester derby: when Haaland was receiving the ball, Roy Keane stomped on his knee from the side, and his feet were so fierce. He kicked Haaland at that time, and flipped around in the air before falling down. Then Haaland announced his retirement due to serious injuries this time.

Their hatred is well-known in the UK.

Eastwood was almost retired by George Wood. Although Wood never said on any occasion that he did it on purpose, no one ruled out that George Wood had succeeded a few years later and wrote an autobiography after he became famous, and then he smugly announced that he did it on purpose... After all, Roy Keane's role model is standing up in front, so you must know that the power of role models is infinite.

From the above, we can see that the media is definitely not aimless this time. But Don just can't maintain any favorability for these paparazzi in England because the timing of their hype of this news is so fucking...

While the Forest team was about to face the challenge of Sporting Lisbon, the news media was keen to hype the internal conflicts in the Forest team's locker room. Isn't this causing trouble for Don En?

Just like the important moment of the England national team preparing for the World Cup qualifiers, England's tabloids are hyping Erixon's "Chief's Gate" incident. These sub-media have no news morality or quality at all. In order to pursue interests, they can do anything.

In some ways, Tang En felt that the English media had many similarities with many Chinese media. In order to attract readers' attention, he did not hesitate to exaggerate, sensational, fabricate, and even played erotic games... Tang En thought of the King Kong leader of Sina Sports. He was really a god who needed to worship. Even after staying in the UK for two years, he had never seen any English editor, reporter and columnist as talented as Lord King Kong...

It's off topic. Anyway, when the media broke the news that "George Wood and Eastwood are in a bad mood" before the 8th final of the League Cup, Done was very upset. However, for the team's current stability, he kept his anger and did not want to affect the players' preparations.

But at the end of the routine press conference, Tang En said in a bad tone to the group of reporters who wanted to find out some "explosive insider": "I'm very disappointed because you didn't show anything that made me feel bright. Three months ago, you hyped George Wood and his teammates so much, and you still have the same thing in three months. I hope that in another three months, you can come up with something fresh, otherwise I will get tired of it. People always have to learn to improve, right?"

Although he verbally taught the reporters, the problem was not solved.
