Chapter 208: The War between the Two People 2 (Part 1)

"...Chelsea is in good shape, Nottingham Forest is in good shape... Although it's still a little early, I still want to say it - everyone, welcome to the 11th round of the English Premier League, Nottingham Forest will play Chelsea at home! I am John; Mortson, and today I am Gary; Reinkell who comments on the game for us.

Gary, what do you think of today’s game?”

"In fact, Mourinho is not a head coach who pursues the artistic football path. He once publicly claimed that he was a admirer of Capello. From this we can see what kind of coach he is.

He values ​​results over scenes and results over process, so his Chelsea has a sharp attacking lineup, but he plays very cautiously. I think '1:0ism' is the best interpretation of him... But, I believe that Mourinho will not stick to his '1:0ism' away game in this game."

"Because his opponent is Tony; Don?"

“Yes, this is the only head coach he hasn’t beat last season.

We don't know what their relationship is in private - Mourinho also attended a labor certificate hearing for Forest player Pepe, and before the UEFA lottery ceremony, Mourinho took the initiative to talk to Donn... But I think on the football field, the two of them are enemies.

Mourinho will not allow himself to lose to Don Eun, and Don Eun will not be willing to lose to Mourinho. While both head coaches pay attention to the results, they will definitely use the "most convincing" way of winning - offense.

So, this game will definitely be very intense and beautiful..."

With one hour left before the start of the game, the two people on the live broadcast stage were already busy.

In fact, as long as half a day before the start of the game, various media from England had gathered in Nottingham.

Although there is a North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham today, the game held in Nottingham is the highlight of the country's attention.

As the media advocated it, most of the people who are following this game are not Chelsea fans or Forest fans, but many neutral fans... in the post-match statistics.

There are still many women among the people who are following this game! They may not care which team wins, they just want to see if it is Mourinho, Tony and Don.

The Sun is right, this is a "war between two people"...

With forty-five minutes left before the start of the game, the stands of the city stadium were basically full and divided into two very obvious parts - the red square that had an absolute advantage and the blue square concentrated in the visiting team stands.

In English football, red and blue are two traditional colors, and most teams' home uniforms are red or blue. Although there is no conclusive evidence.

However, in the book "Football Manual" published by Routledge in 1867, it should be the first to recommend that the team wear different colors to play, and the two colors are divided into red and blue for everyone to choose from.

"If you can arrange it in advance, one of them wears a sweatshirt of some color, such as red, and the other party wears a sweatshirt of another color, such as blue. This will avoid confusion and bad attempts to be grabbed by someone.

I often see this kind of situation and I keep hearing such a sorry: ‘I’m sorry. I thought you were the same group of them…’”

This should be the earliest reason why most teams in English football wear red or blue jerseys today. So in English football, there is a so-called traditional "red and blue war", and most of the mortal enemies in the city are red and blue.

For example, Liverpool City's two teams, Liverpool (red) and Everton (blue), Manchester City's two teams, Manchester United (red) and Manchester City (blue), as well as Arsenal (red) and Chelsea (blue), who have only recently become enemies.

Now, Forest and Chelsea are also trapped in the whirlpool of the "red and blue war"...

Before the team appeared, fans of both sides had already started a full-scale battle in the stands.

Forest fans used their singing to mock Chelsea today as a ruble corps and a group of mercenaries, which had long lost the traditional spirit of English football. They became the toy of the Russian boss.

Chelsea fans sang loudly "We are rich" (we_are_rich!) to fight back against the provocation of Nottingham Forest fans, and even Chelsea fans held up slogans and wrote, "Do we want to pay for you to buy a stadium?" to mock Nottingham Forest for a poor stadium that can only accommodate only 27,000 people.

The Nottingham police were facing a great enemy, fearing that fans of both sides would have conflicts and bloodshed before the game, so they set up three rows of blank isolation belts across the stands in the middle of the stands of the two teams.

There were two rows of riot police standing back to back, fully armed, wearing steel helmets, tempered glass shields and batons. They stared at the fans with red faces and thick necks with vigilant faces.

"Nottingham Evening Post" local reporter Pierce; Bruce sighed when he saw this scene in the press room: "It's hard to believe that these two teams will have no hatred in the past 100 years..."

The developed media and the two head coaches with the same personalities have rebellious personality. Together, they have created a rapid confrontation between the two teams.

It is impossible for Bruce to not know this, but he is unwilling to admit that he is a member of the fuel. Sometimes he still thinks that he is not the same type of people as the paparazzi who randomly fabricated news and sensationalism, and his original idealism remains in his heart.

With thirty minutes left before the start of the game, players from both sides appeared on the stadium to warm up. The fans' attacks in the stands finally stopped, and everyone's attention was shifted to cheering for the players who supported the team.

From the players who came out to warm up, it can be seen that both sides are sending out elites. There is no intention to preserve their strength at all. Although three days later, Chelsea will go to challenge Real Betis away, and four days later.

The Forest team is going to Portugal to challenge Benfica...

"It really fits the personalities of the two of them - no one wants to admit defeat in front of a mortal enemy." Motson counted the players who warmed up on the court, and then compared them with the list of appearances he had just obtained. Sure enough, there were quite a few main players.

Chelsea sent all the main players they could, and the Forest team was the same.

Leinkell laughed at the side: "Isn't this very interesting? Their personality is exactly what we expect. We were worried about Alex before; after Sir Ferguson retired, what else is worth looking forward to in the Premier League?

No need to worry now...We have Mourinho and Tony; Don!"

With fifteen minutes left before the game, the warm-up on the court ended, and the players on both sides entered the corridor and returned to their respective locker rooms. Everyone didn't know what would happen there, but they were interested.

At the same time, in the gradually deserted city court square, a dark red Audi A6 came.

"Are you late?" A sharp voice came from the car.

"No, Mr. Dogerty asked to come here specifically at this time. There are too many people talking, and we are worried that we will hurt you." Another voice rang out.

The car door opened, and the first one came out was a man in a black suit. He walked around and opened the rear door. The first one came out was a woman - Freddy; Eastwood's wife, holding a baby in her arms.

The one who jumped out of the car was a little boy.

The man waited for them to leave the car. He leaned in and helped out the Gypsy Eastwood.

"Okay, thank you, but..." Freddy saw that the other party seemed to be trying to help him into the stands box, so he waved his hand to stop him. "I can leave, but it will be a little slow."

Serim gently patted the baby sleeping soundly in his arms while saying to the man: "Let him go by himself."

The man was a little embarrassed: "But your legs, and Mr. Dogerty specifically told us..."

"Chairman Dogerty also wants to see a healthy Eastwood?" said the Gipsea striker. "I'll walk up, no problem." After that, he took a step towards the dedicated passage leading to the main stand.

The man hesitated behind him for a moment, quickly stepped up, and followed him.

"Let's go, baby." Serim waved his hand to the little boy looking around.

While Eastwood was slowly but hard at climbing the dozen steps, Donn was making the final mobilization of his players in the locker room.

The tactical board has been scratched in a mess. But this doesn't matter. No one looks at that thing, and the real tactics have long been imprinted in their minds.

"Guys." Don Eun looked at the players who had changed their numbers and sat in their respective positions. "Last season, the Premier League champion was our opponent in this game. So far this season, they have not lost a single game.

It ranks first. No matter what I personally think of this team. I have to admit that it is a very powerful, powerful and combat-oriented team."

Speaking of this, he stopped to look at the somewhat confused team members.

"Look at each other's expressions... Are you wondering why I praised our opponents before the game? Do anyone think I'm joking to liven up the atmosphere?" Tang En shook his finger, "No, I'm not kidding, I'm talking about what I'm saying.

Chelsea are indeed very strong, very strong. They almost won the championship with an unbeaten record last season, almost tied with Arsenal in the 2003-04 season. But!" He suddenly changed his mind and everyone was also excited.

"Why should I say 'almost'? Because they still lost one game in the league! Can anyone tell me who they lost to??"

It was this moment when everyone in the locker room shouted in unison: "We!!"

"Almost all teams in England have to bow down to Mourinho's Chelsea, but there is only one team that is not afraid of them! Tell me, who is that!?"
