In the 89th minute, Andy Reed of the Forests planned an attack that might be their last threatening in the second half. A beautiful two-pass and one-on-one cooperation in the penalty area, David Johnson and Malone Halewood attracted the attention of almost all Greensby players. Eugen Pope unexpectedly inserted and appeared in the penalty area, and then he received a straight pass from Reed and faced the goalkeeper alone!

All the fans of the audience and all the Forests of Nottingham stood up, waiting for the miracle to happen!

Including Tang En, who was just like a puppet, also rushed down from the coaching board, hoping to celebrate the goal as it goes.

But...Eugen Pope's powerful shot missed the goal.

"Woo--!" The huge sigh could not conceal the disappointment of the fans.

Tang En even threw the suit he held in his hand to the ground, and he did not hide his anger and disappointment. Although this failure was largely caused by himself. The only thought in his heart now was that after I went back, I must let Pope practice shooting well!

The photographer on the sidelines was excited to see Tang En's impulsive performance. They were waiting for this moment. They pressed the shutter quickly again and put Tang En's ostentatious action into the camera.

"This is the best opportunity! But Eugen Pope wasted it! Listen to the sighs in the city court... The miracle didn't happen again, and the good luck of coach Tony Donn is over!"

The moment Tang En threw his clothes to the ground, the head coach of Greensby next door jumped up suddenly. His team had survived this catastrophe and the victory was near. Unexpectedly, he could score three points in this game. Perhaps this is the precious three-pointer that determines whether they will stay in Class A or relegate to Class B this season!

Pope, who missed the key goal, lay on the ground in disappointment, covering his face with his hands. He didn't even dare to look at the angry and disappointed eyes of the fans. For him, he lost a great opportunity to become a team hero and make all fans fall in love with him overnight. Such an opportunity will not appear in front of him, a defensive midfielder, next time.

As Pope missed the goal that was almost inevitable, the Forest team lost their fighting spirit and confidence. In the following game, they seemed absent-minded on the court, as if they were looking forward to the end of the game soon. Haierwood had his hands helplessly in the frontcourt, and no one passed the ball to him. Although he scored a goal in this game, he was unable to save the team's crisis.

Don Eun picked up his clothes from the ground, walked back to the coach's seat, and sat down.

"Des, do you know? Yesterday I just taught a ignorant boy here, warning him not to underestimate professional football, otherwise he will be punished. Now I have made the same mistake as him..." He said in a low voice and murmured in a low mood. "The responsibility for this game is entirely up to me, I lost... nothing to say."

Des patted Tangen on the shoulder and comforted: "Tony, it's good to win consecutively. But no one has never experienced failures, just look at it." At this moment, he seemed like an old coach who had been experienced in many battles, and Tangen was just a player who had just been substituted and was deeply disappointed with his performance.

A minute later, the referee on duty blew the whistle to the end of the game. He was highly expected before the game. Forest team, who was unanimously optimistic, lost 1:2 to the last league Greensby at his home court. For outsiders who don't know Don't know Don't, this is not his first defeat in coaching the Forest's first team, but for Don himself, this is his first defeat - the FA Cup match against West Ham. He still insists that he won the game, but lost to the referee.

Hearing the whistle, Tang En got up from his seat, the players lowered their heads and walked into the player corridor from beside him. Walker was comforting these people one by one, that their disaster had ended, and that his own... had just begun.

He looked at the media around the sides of the corridor. It was a difficult "match", and he had to cheer up to deal with the sarcastic media. Those people were waiting to see him joke.

After the game, the press room of the city court.

This is not the first time Tang En has come to such a place. Some reporters who interviewed him have been able to recognize him from the crowd. For example, he saw Pierce Bruce again.

Sitting next to Donne is his opponent in this game, Greensby head coach, 37-year-old Paul Grovis, who is three years older than himself. He led the team to win the ball, and was in a very good mood. He accepted the reporters' questions with a smile on his face. But he was not the protagonist of this press conference.

After answering a few very common questions, he was neglected. Almost everyone's firepower was concentrated on Tony Donn's side.

"Coach Tony Donn, who agreed before the game that he would win easily, but ended in failure, do you have anything to say?" The most dissatisfied with this game was the local media in Nottingham, so the questions they raised were sharp and unkind. Don't look at him praising Donnn as the best coach before, and as long as he loses the ball, he will turn against others.

Don Eun glanced at the reporter who asked the question and said, "But it was the local media in Nottingham, because the reporter's English accent had a strong Nottingham flavor. "I have nothing to say, if I lose, I lose. Greensby's head coach did a good job, and his team deserved to win."

This perfunctory answer obviously cannot satisfy the media, so someone stood up and asked: "But before the game, you and your players were full of confidence, and some people guaranteed that the team would win a winning streak when they were interviewed..."

"Bad!" Tang En suddenly sweared, and the audience was shocked. "Who did you say this? Who would you look for? I have never said on any occasion that we can win easily and win six consecutive victories. Are you an idiot?" Tang En stood up and leaned over and asked, "I haven't played the game yet, how could I know what the result is? How could I say something like winning streak? Do you understand football?"

The reporter didn't expect that Tang En would suddenly get angry. He stood there for a while, not knowing what to say or what to do. Tang En sat back, changed his seat, raised his legs and said, "Okay, next one."

Pierce Bruce followed Robson to interview Donn. Although he embarrassed himself twice, he still looked at the person in front of him fairly and objectively from the perspective of a journalist, which has advantages and disadvantages. As for swearing at the press conference, he believed that this was the reason why coach Donnn was too stressed after losing. Because he had interviewed him and believed that he knew his motivation better than others, Bruce decided to turn the embarrassing scene in front of him. So he stood up.

"Ah!" Donn spoke without waiting for Bruce to speak, "James Bond has something to say."

There was finally some laughter at the scene, and the embarrassment just now was wiped out.

Bruce didn't mind the nickname that Don En gave him An, and he asked with a smile: "Coach Don En, what impact will the team's plan for upgrading?"

This question is pretty normal, but Tang En likes this kind of problem now. He doesn't need to be irritated with reporters. "It will definitely have an impact, but it's not clear whether it's good or bad. Just like you don't know the final score before the game starts, the season is not over, and we don't know what specific impact this failure will bring."

Tang En was tired of the siege of this media. In fact, he didn't know what tricky questions he would be asked if he continued. He was not good at dealing with the media that fought in the group, so he kicked the football at the feet of the winner next to him.

"Everyone, I think you've made a mistake. The one who won this game was Greensby, not my Nottingham Forest. The winner should be the protagonist, right? So... if you have any questions, please ask Mr. Grovis! Sorry, I have to leave." After saying that, he turned around and walked off the stage despite everyone's surprise gazes, and quickly left the scene.

Bruce stood there, looking at Tang En's back as he hurriedly escaped, and shook his head with a wry smile.

When Tang En returned to the locker room, he found that the team was all there, no one left. Looking at the dejected player, Tang En smiled. His mood suddenly improved.

Think about the midnight break that lost to West Ham United two months ago. You can know why Tang En is happy. After losing the ball, the team and the players will have a future. On the contrary, if they still smile when they lose the ball, Tang En probably will have to pick up a chair and smash the locker room at this time.

"Okay, guys. Don't be so upset. We just lost one game. We didn't lose the whole season. When we lose this season, you guys will cry again." Tang En clapped his hands and signaled him to come back.

Michael Dawson stood up as the captain, and he wanted to apologize to the mastermind who trusted him for the failure. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Donn with gestures.

"The responsibility for the failure of this game is all about me. You have no problems. You have done a good job. That's all I want to say. Now go out and take a bus back to the hotel, take a hot shower, change your clothes, and go to do what you want." Seeing that no one moved, Tang En sighed, "Okay, no one is allowed to leave the hotel tonight. You will go to bed on time at 10 o'clock, and you will not have a holiday tomorrow. The team will be closed for one week until the next game... Oh no, until you win the ball."

"Oh, no!" The players finally responded, but they didn't expect that this would be the punishment.

Tang En laughed: "Since you don't want to do this, then get up and get in the car!"

A group of players quickly jumped out of their seats and quickly rushed out of the locker room. When Dawson passed by Don Eun, he wanted to apologize to the head coach, but he asked Don Eun to slap him out. "Put your apology, Michael. Have a good holiday and come back to train the game."

Soon, there were only three people left in the locker room.

Tony Donn, Des Walker and Ian Bower.

"Tony, I think you're in a better mood?" Walker cared about his partner. "Is there something going on at the press conference?"

Bowyer shook his head: "When he just stepped into this goal, I saw that his face was not very good. Are you because of the team, right?"

Don Neng nodded: "It's just a loss, I don't care about recording this kind of thing. The key is that I saw good phenomena in these players. This failure was just an accident. We didn't deviate from the track. The team was still driving at high speed on the road to the Super League. Let's go, don't think about the past game. Let's go to Burns' bar to have a drink and relax in the evening."

Locked the door and the three of them walked side by side towards the bus outside the court.

After five consecutive victories, the Forest suffered a defeat. But for Tang En himself, that was just the starting point for another five consecutive victories.

Some people will only complain about themselves when facing failure, or be depressed, and feel frightened as if the end of the world is coming. However, some people can find what they need from failure when facing failure. So what awaits the former will be one game after another, more failures, while what greets the latter is a new victory.
