"Congratulations to Nottingham Forest, they qualified for the UEFA Champions League final in the 2005-06 season! This is an amazing achievement and an inspiring result for the Forest team, who was still hang out in the English Champions League a year and a half ago.

Congratulations to them!”

Fireworks began in the night sky, and even the players celebrating on the stadium couldn't help but look up and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The game was over, but the fans did not leave the court. They were still celebrating this "great" victory with the team in the stands.

On the other hand, Arsenal players looked lonely, staring blankly at the Forest players celebrating wantonly.

They tried their best in this game to tie the total score in an unfavorable situation, then threatened the Forest's goal several times, and finally entered the penalty shootout... They have used all the means and methods they can use.

However, this time, luck did not stand on their side.

Wenger walked onto the court and comforted his men one by one. Not far from him was Tony, who raised his arms to celebrate the victory; Donne.

The man who was so embarrassed that he was talking to him in the rain and was soaked like a cock falling into a mess, now he has become the winner in the battle with him.

When Don En enjoyed the joy of his victory, he was surrounded by excited smiles. Eastwood, Anelka, Ribery, Ashley; Yang... and so on, everyone laughed wildly and shouted.

Don Eun laughed with them, until he saw George; Wood, and the smile on his face frozen.

The team won and lived the ticket to the finals. But one person was turned away, and this person was the one who put in the most effort and contribution to this victory.

Gareth lost the penalty; Bale still had shining tears on his face, but he laughed after all because the team successfully advanced to the finals. He did not become a sinner.

And George, in front of him, had a little bit of a smile on Wood's face, obviously it was squeezed out.

Tang En lowered his raised arms and suddenly he was in no mood to celebrate.

Just as he was about to go over to comfort Wood, Albertini walked out of the thorn. Donn saw Albertini hugging Wood's shoulders, then reached out to stroke his head.

The other teammates were still celebrating, singing and jumping from one end of the court to the other end.

Only this corner is lost.

Tang En turned and walked downwards, and he saw Wenger. So he took the initiative to walk over to shake hands.

But he didn't know what to say.

"It's really...a wonderful game, isn't it?"

Wenger forced a smile and said, "Yes."

Don En plans to comfort the other party: "You could have won...if Wood didn't foul..."

"He can't participate in the finals, right?"

Tang En nodded.

"That's a pity, your opponent must be happy to hear this news. Good luck, you really need some good luck..."

"Thank you." Tang En smiled.

"Goodbye, I'm going to comfort my people." Wenger pointed to the lost Arsenal players.

"Goodbye." Tang En waved goodbye to him, then turned around and walked towards the corridor.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter mentioned George; Wood was missing the final after receiving the third yellow card. He asked Wood if the absence of the game had a heavy blow to the Forest.

Donn admitted that Wood's absence would affect the team, but he did not admit that it was a "heavy blow". He said that no matter who the Forest's opponent was, he would not give up the game because of Wood's absence. Without Wood, they still have Albertini.

There are ten other teammates who have performed well, and the Forest is a team that is a whole, not someone.

Although Tang En's words make sense, Nottingham Forest's image in the outside world has always been a united team. But at this moment, looking at the expression on his face, the reporters sitting below all thought that he was stubborn and didn't want to admit it.

Whether it is Barcelona or AC Milan, their attack power is not weak. Without George, Wood ran and intercepted, tackled, and fouled wildly in the midfield, it would be too difficult for this Forest team to stop the opponent's attack.

This is not a "heavy blow" but a "fatal blow".

The Forest team reached the finals, but paid a heavy price. The team's captain and defensive core are still spiritual pillars, and in a sense, the people in the world will not be able to participate... Not only Tang En is not used to it, but his players will also find it awkward.

When the carnival crowd outside gradually calmed down from excitement and passion, when I thought that Wood could not play in the final, I believe many people would feel a little chill on their backs.

So Wood became the focus of this press conference. Although he was not here, almost all the questions thrown at Donne were about Wood. On the contrary, no one mentioned the Forest team's finals.

Donn regrets Wood's affairs. But if everyone only asks Wood, not caring about the team's performance, nor about others, including him..., he would be very angry.

"If you want to know about Wood, you can ask it alone, or I can hold a press conference attended by Wood to ask you casually, but I don't guarantee whether he is willing to answer these questions.

Now the Forests are entering the finals, I admit that George; Wood has contributed a lot and made great sacrifices.

But it's stumping that we can enter the finals and have nothing to do with the other ten people? George; Wood would rather take the cards and send the team to the finals, but you only care about the impact after he is missing... Why, are you planning to criticize George in tomorrow's report? Wood is so hot that he only cares about himself and ignores the team?" Tang En asked the noisy reporters off the court with a sinister face.

"Are you here to participate in this post-match press conference or to demolish me? I'll say again, I will refuse to answer any questions about George; Wood's absence from the final!"

Tang En acted as a "big name" again, and he did this with ease. He was not afraid of offending the media because he knew very well that it was not that he asked the media to interview him, but that the media asked him to accept interviews. Now he is the most glorious person.

He is not afraid of offending others.

The press conference was embarrassed for a while, but Pierce was still there; Bruce came out to save the venue, and he stood up and asked a few questions about the game evaluation, which finally made Don re-talk.

When Donn lost his temper over facing endless questions about Five at the press conference, Nottingham Forest players had already returned to the locker room from the court.

At this time, after everyone gradually calmed down, they discovered a very serious problem.

"George, the yellow card you got in overtime is the third one, right?" Ribery said this. The locker room, which was very lively just now, suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their heads to look at Wood.

"Yeah." Wood nodded.

"Then...finals..."

This question is almost unnecessary to answer, and everyone knows what it means to get three yellow cards in the Champions League.

Silence quickly spread throughout the locker room.

Albertini clapped his hands to break the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Why are we dejected? Didn't we reach the final? George paid the price just to see you like this? What do we usually look like after we win?"

In the past, after the Forest team won the game, the locker room would be in a mess, like a small party, with music constantly and everyone was naked. They played from the bathroom to the locker room.

After enough trouble, or it will not be restrained until head coach Tang En speaks out to remind him.

"Today we won a very ordinary game, it was the semi-finals of the Champions League! Do you know how important this is? Do you have a lot of greatness? We can go to the Champions League finals, and countless people can't go even if they want to! Look at you now.

It seems like I don’t want to go...Hey, don’t ruin George’s efforts, don’t let George’s yellow card be useless!”

Ribery stood up with his arms raised, and the topic was his beginning. He had to end. "Ok, although it's a pity that George can't participate, I don't think we have no chance in the final.

No matter what kind of opponent we are, Barcelona or AC Milan, I want them to see how powerful I am! I want to break through, they can't find North-"

Ashley; Yang whistled: "Be careful that you can't find Bei-"

Ribery glared: "How is it possible? I am from the French national team..."

Before he could finish speaking, Eastwood was beside him, imitating Don't say anything, "Substitute player."

Hearing Tang En's voice, Ribery was startled: "Boss! Are you back so soon?" He turned his back to the gate and couldn't see what was happening there. He didn't hear Tang En's answer. Instead, a huge burst of laughter rang out in the locker room.

"Freddy!" Ribery was so angry that she rushed towards Eastwood. "I knew it was you... you bastard!"

After being disturbed by the two of them, the atmosphere finally became lively.

Albertini turned his head to look at Wood. This kid was still pretending to be cool without expression.

Just as the two were having a good time, the door of the locker room was pushed open, and Tang En appeared at the door with a bad expression.

"Ribery, what are you doing?" asked Donn when he saw the Frenchman chasing Eastwood.

"Don't think of lying to me. Gypsy boy!" Ribery didn't look back. A burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the locker room. Gareth; Bell even laughed so hard that he knelt on the ground.

"What are you calling?" Tang En frowned.

At this time, Eastwood, in front of Ribery, shrugged at him and made a shut-up move. He realized that it was not Eastwood who was speaking to him just now, but the real Tony; Donn.

"Boss..." He stopped, turned his head and looked at Tang En who was standing at the door with an awkward look on his face.

"I thought the 120-minute game was enough to make you all fall down. I didn't expect you to have enough energy to run back to the hotel from here?" Tang En said with a sneer.

"Uh, no...no." Ribery honestly went back to his seat. Ribery had only respect for the coach who personally discovered him from the French low-level league and then trained him to become a member of the French national team.

"Guys. We've reached the finals, which is amazing, I want to congratulate you. Have fun tonight, but don't play too late... Training will resume tomorrow afternoon, the season is not over yet, and it's not the time to celebrate.

Remember, we still have two league games and one Champions League final! Now is not the time to relax!"

Although Tang En's words make sense, in the eyes of the people below, they always feel that something is wrong with their boss.

Why is something wrong... maybe it's because of that yellow card?

"Okay, go back to the car. I bet you guys don't want to spend this meaningful night in the locker room, right?"

The players left the locker room one after another and walked towards the bus parked outside the stadium. At this time, the singing of fans coming from nearby could be heard. For Forest players and Forest fans, the wonderful time tonight has just begun.

When Wood walked past Tang En, Tang En stopped him.

"Go to drink with me."

Wood was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Tang En would make such a request. "Professional players cannot drink..."

"You drink juice, I drink wine. It's just settled. After you arrive at the hotel, you follow me."

Wood did not refute.

In the car, on the way back to the hotel. Tang En announced a cheerful news to his players: "Enjoy freely at night, go whatever you want, and don't want to go back to the hotel.
To be continued...
