Chapter 261: Go and watch the football live

In the last two rounds of Nottingham Forest's league, Donn used the method of half-main and half-substitute to deal with it. On the one hand, the players should be kept in the form of the game, and on the other hand, they should be careful not to have any injuries, and they must also win.

In the game with Middlesbrough, Donn replaced Sun Jihai, Lennon, Commons and others for rotation. George Wood does not have to participate in the Champions League final, so he does not need to rest.

At the same time, in order to consider the final of the Champions League, Donn let Albertini make his debut at the last moment of this game, familiarizing himself with the rhythm of the game and regaining his physical feeling.

The score satisfies Donn, and the team won Middlesbrough 2:1 away.

Although Manchester United also won the ball, the two sides were still one point apart, and this point seemed as insurmountable as a natural barrier.

Then, in the last round of the league, Nottingham Forest went north to challenge Sunderland.

Everything was as expected by Donn. Sunderland did not pose any threat to the highly motivated Forest team and lost 0:3.

Donne regards this game as a warm-up match for the Champions League final, inspects the player's status and tests the new lineup... George Wood did not start, Donne arranges Albertini and Arteta's partner in the midfield.

Among them, Albertini is slightly defensive and is often in the backcourt, relying solely on his long passes and passes to participate in the offense. Arteta is responsible for the specific organization of offensive affairs.

He wanted to see how this midfield match worked.

As a result, Sunderland was too weak to put any pressure on these two people. Led by two central defenders, Forests was on the tide of offensive and ended Sunderland's awkward Super League journey this season with three goals.

In the last fifteen minutes of the game, Donn replaced George Wood and replaced Albertini. Swap Sun Jihai and replaced Zimbonda. Swap Eastwood and replaced Anelka.

This is not a tactical adjustment, it is just a side method to keep more players in shape.

After the game, the English Premier League in the 2005-06 season also ended.

Everything is settled.

Chelsea defended the league championship with an absolute advantage. This season, Mourinho's team is almost invincible, and they are in good condition in all aspects... Except for the regrets in the Champions League.

Nottingham Forest continued his outstanding performance last season and went to a higher level. He won second place in the league.

After the season ended, experts could not ignore them when commenting on this season. Even when recalling this season several years later, no one could ignore the existence of Nottingham Forest.

The re-emergence of this team broke the inherent pattern of the Premier League, and the traditional semi-finals became the semi-finals.

The topic of concern to people now is - for the Premier League, is the emergence of Nottingham Forest disappearing like a meteor, or does it continue to shine like a star, which has an impact on the future direction of the league?

No one knows this answer. Don En himself doesn't know it.

Of course, as his competitors, few people want to see the Forest team performing so well, right?

The third place in the league was won by Ferguson's Manchester United. Their condition has been very ups and downs in the past two seasons, and the team is also at a critical moment of alternating between old and new. The only thing that makes Ferguson feels gratified is the maturity of Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.

I believe that as long as they continue to perform like this, the new Manchester United represented by them will return to their peak in the future.

The fourth place in the league is Arsenal. They did not perform well in the first half of this season and began to make efforts later. Wenger originally hoped to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

However, he lost to Nottingham Forest in the semi-final penalty, and in the end the league and the Champions League were empty.

Liverpool may be the biggest victim of Nottingham Forest's resurgence. It turns out that the traditional semi-finals of the Premier League: Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea. These four teams basically qualify for the Champions League every season.

However, with the emergence of Forests, the winner of the last Champions League, Liverpool was squeezed out of the top four. They can only participate in the League Cup next season, and life in Benitez is not easy...

It seems that Liverpool will definitely be hurt by the rise of the Forest team. In the Brian Crowe era.

In the most glorious moment of Nottingham Forest, he defeated Liverpool three times in a year. In the league, League Cup and European Champions League, Liverpool successfully pedaled as the Forest.

It was the Forest team that interrupted the Reds' dream of dominating the domestic league and the European Champions League.

But at the same time, the decline of Forests will inevitably be related to Liverpool. Forests broke Liverpool's monopoly on the championship, and Liverpool then pulled Forests from the altar where they had not yet had time to sit firmly - the record of unbeaten in the 42-round league ended at Liverpool.

The Liverpool team's feelings for Nottingham Forest also went from initially to fear and disgusting later - Liverpool fans first liked Forest because the jerseys of both teams were red. And the Forest team's playing style was somewhat similar to Liverpool.

Later, after Forests defeated Liverpool and snatched their league championship and Champions League championship, Liverpool's feelings for Forests changed.

These two teams were entangled together. In many cases, many places are inseparable. Even tragedies like the Heathborough tragedy occurred during Liverpool and Forest.

Putting aside the connection between Forests and Liverpool for the time being, let the focus return to the Champions League.

As soon as the league ended, Forest team moved all their work centers to the Champions League final. This is the most important thing for Forest team this season, and nothing can surpass the position of the Champions League final in people's minds.

Evan Dogerty has been very busy recently because many media have to interview him, but he still took the time to go to the training ground to announce the bonus plan. Because the Forest team reached the finals of the Champions League, the TV broadcast fee alone can gain a lot.

Evan decided to take out some of it to reward the three armies.

As long as the team can win the Champions League, each person will receive an additional reward of at least 10,000 pounds, and the main players will receive an additional reward of 30,000 pounds. In addition, even if they do not win the Champions League, each person will receive a reward of 5,000 to 10,000.

For the Forest team, which is not supported by Russian rich people, this reward is already very good. After all, the team is not rich.

After this plan was announced, it brought a great improvement to the team's morale. Who doesn't want to make more money?

Of course, this reward cannot be compared with clubs like Chelsea and Real Madrid, but at least it is the club's heart. It expresses the club's concern for the team.

Tang En devoted all his energy to training in new tactics. Because George

With Wood's absence, the team must make adjustments to their tactics that have been playing for more than a season, so that Albertini and Arteta's partnership is actually a more offensive style.

In the last round of the league, Donne had already used Sunderland as an experimental subject, but Sunderland was too weak to pose any threat to the Forest's defense line, so can this new tactic resist Barcelona's offensive?

Tang En had no idea.

George Wood doesn't have to participate in the finals, but he is still training with the team and is still hardworking and serious as ever...or more hardworking and serious than before.

The media thinks that Wood is venting the depression that he cannot participate in the finals, and only Donn knows that what he said to Wood must have worked in the bar that night.

——You have only one year, George.

For Tony Don now, he only has ten days.

Of course, now Tang En can't focus on preparing for the team. He has other things to be busy with. For example, sending tickets to his former friends. Des

Walker was the first person in his coaching career to truly bring him into this circle and give him countless help. Ian Bowyer, an old man who was misunderstood by him but faithfully supported him.

I can't forget that Michael Bernard, who has already gone to the United States, is his first friend here and his closest friend.

Done didn't know how Michael lived in the United States, whether he had been freed from the grief of losing his son in middle age, nor did he know if he had changed his promise of "never watch football again and not touching football", but he still wanted to send this ticket.

Whether he doesn't come to see it, this is his promise to Michael that he will let Michael know that he has never forgotten and has fulfilled it.

In addition, he went to Gavin's grave and burned him the ticket. He burned two, one for him to see and the other for him to keep as a souvenir.

Another important person is Xianya.

"Sinia, where will you be on May 17?" During the weekly routine call, Tang En asked the little girl.

Shania rolled her eyes and did not answer immediately, but asked back: "Is there anything wrong, Uncle Tony?"

"Well...I want you to watch my game."

"I'm in Paris." Shania smiled.

This answer gave Don Eun a surprise: "Really? That's great! The final is going to be in Paris... It's amazing! Will you go, Shania?"

Shania deliberately delayed her voice: "Well, it depends on whether I have time or not at that time."

Tang En was a little disappointed when she heard Shania say this.

"I'm lying to you! I'll definitely go there. I can turn off the job and then take it over. Uncle Tony's Champions League final is only this time..."

Tang En coughed twice: "There will be something in the future!"

Shania's hilarious laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Then let's make up that. See you in Paris then, Shania."

"See you then. Uncle Tony!"

Everything was proceeding step by step. In the last few days, Done asked Wilford to be closed and not receive any media. The team needed a quiet environment to sprint. This decision of course would lead to dissatisfaction among the media, so Done ignored it.

The media did not give him money, and he was not obliged to serve the media.

Just the day before the team set out for Paris, the training was still going on. Donne on the side of the training ground received a call from goalkeeper Ian McDonald. "Tony, someone asked to see you."

"Ian, didn't I say it? I can't close Vilford, no one can come in. No one can see anyone!" The war was approaching and Tang En was a little nervous, and his tone of voice was unknowingly rising.

"But..." The old guard was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Then Tang En heard a vague voice from the other end of the phone, and soon a clear female voice came: "Mr. Tang En, will your friend not see you when you come?"

The voice was very familiar, and Tang En was stunned for a moment: "It's you?"

He knew who the visitor was.

Five minutes later, Don Eun, who rushed to the gate from the training ground, met this "old friend" - Chris Gronia.

This modern girl dressed in time is completely different from Tang En's professional image for the first time. She wore a sexy and seductive low-cut suspender suit and miniskirt, and a pair of huge sunglasses, leaning against a red BMW sports car. Next to her, the old guard Ian, was wearing a sexy and seductive low-cut suspender suit and a miniskirt, and she was wearing a pair of huge sunglasses.

MacDonald stood at the door awkwardly.

"hello, Mr. Done." Gronia waved and said hello.

"Hello... Miss Gronia. I didn't expect to meet for the third time so soon." Tang En walked up. "Are you here to prepare for shooting again this time?" He looked at Gronia who was almost unrecognizable, a little surprised.

"No, I'm here alone. I didn't bring the working group." Gronia took off her sunglasses and spread her hands. "And I am an independent producer now and I don't work for UEFA."

"Let's go in and talk..." He motioned MacDonald to open the door.

Unexpectedly, Gronia shook her head and rejected the invitation: "No, I just came to send you something, and I'm leaving soon."

Tang En looked surprised.
