Chapter 18 The Power of the Strong
Chapter 18: The Aura of the Strong
As another party involved, Van Nystruey was also harassed a lot. When he was surrounded by many reporters, he kept showing his position: "I will not leave the Nottingham Forest. I am very satisfied with everything here. If possible, I even hope to play here until retirement."
The boss refuses to sell and the players refuse to come. What else can I discuss?
Manchester City club then announced that they would no longer be interested in Van Nisstruy.
The fact that Don En was able to fight Manchester City here was endlessly fun actually shows another problem - Van der Fate is fine.
In the first round of the league, Van der Fate left the game with injuries ten minutes at the beginning. At that time, he was very worried when he saw his painful appearance. After the game, the results of the hospital's examination made him breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't hurt his muscles and bones, he was cured after two weeks of rest. You know, originally, Tang En thought he couldn't get it without four months.
If this weren't the case, Don Eun wouldn't be in the mood to play like this with Manchester City, so he simply refused.
Of course, in the past two days, the English media and audiences have not been able to appreciate such a good show.
A lot of interesting things happened this week. English fans found that as long as Tony and Don were there, they would never feel that time passed slowly. The big mouth at the post-match press conference and the head-on conflict with Manchester City and the UAE consortium behind it made everyone enjoy watching it.
Just when these stories were not settled, the second round of the Premier League had already begun.
In the second round of the league, Nottingham Forest continued their away trip. Head to Kingston upon Hull (Hull City) in Yorkshire, where they will meet a new opponent, Hull City.
This team, which has been established in 104 years, competed for the first time in the English Football League. Previously, they were more famous here in rugby. The team's home court, the Kingston Communications Stadium, is both a football field and an International Rugby League stadium.
Since Don Eun was banned from the FA for one game in this game, he could only watch the game in the stands. The command was handed over to the two assistant coaches, who were responsible for on-the-spot dispatch. The FA also knew that Tony Don Eun was not an honest man, so he sent two men in black to follow Don Eun, one left and one right, and sat next to him when watching the game. It was to prevent him from using any advanced communication tools to contact the coach seat below.
When Tang En set up specific tactics for the team in the locker room, he was happy when he saw the two men in black waiting at the door: "Long time no see, two of you."
These two people officially came to supervise him when he was suspended in the League One.
Because it was not the first time we met, we were not unfamiliar with each other. The two of them also smiled and said, "We can often see you. Mr. Tang En."
Although he is not unfamiliar with him, he is not a friend who can chat with him. So Tang En didn't talk nonsense and pointed at the stands: "Let's go."
Tang En in the stands was much more honest than when they first met. He had no wrong ideas, no intention to change seats, and no intention to contact the lower level. He was like an ordinary fan, sitting in the stands with beer in soft plastic cups and watching the game. If the Forest team had a good performance, he would applaud and cheer like other Forest team fans. If Hull City had the upper hand, he would also scold and boo.
This was really funny to the two men in black next to him.
Which head coach is like him?
In fact, Tang En's idea is very simple. Anyway, he will definitely not be able to direct the game in the stands. Since that's the case, it's better to just start a new game like a pure fan. This kind of experience is valuable to him now.
Hull City is a newly promoted team, and they were considered the favorite team for relegation this season as soon as they started. However, it took only five years for this team to go from the lowest level of the English Professional League to the top level, and this time was third in England. They cannot be underestimated from this point.
The first round of the league. Hull City defeated Fulham 2:1 at home, and the whole city was full of joy. They were also very motivated in this game. If they were not careful, the European champion would capsize like last season's double champion.
Hull City's head coach is Phil Brown. Maybe Done is a little unfamiliar with Hull City, but Done is not unfamiliar with Brown. This person used to be the assistant coach of Allardyce and stayed in Bolton for seven years, so his tactical preferences are obvious...
Boateng, who relied on strength to play, was naturally well aware of it. According to the team's new aid Boateng, the team started a lot of physical training before the season and competed with the Premier League's strength. Boateng happened to be such a kind of strange fate. Captain Ashby was even more popular with fans because of his aggressiveness on the court. In addition, the starting center back Turner, who started in this game, was over 1.9 meters tall, and Gardner was also strong on loan.
Judging from this lineup, it is clear what tactics Hull City will adopt in this game.
Traditional English football and physical confrontation-oriented fighting style.
The natural enemies of the technical team are such a team. Do you still remember the "crazy gang" Wimbledon, who was once glorious in the 1980s? European overlord Liverpool has to bow down at their home court.
But it's a pity that the Nottingham Forest today is not the Liverpool they used to be. They have never been proud of their skills. In terms of strength, fighting spirit, and spirit... Nottingham Forest is not inferior to this newly promoted team.
Before the game. Faced with the characteristics of the opponent. Dang'en's tactic is to fight them head-on in the midfield, and then rely on sharp attacks on the wing to get the key points.
And like most newly promoted teams, Hull City's focus on changing the offense rather than defense during the summer transfer period is their offense. It's not because their defense is strong enough, but because their offensive strength is worse. So most of the people introduced during the transfer period are attacking players. As for defense... it's still the old partner who plays in the English Championship.
Generally speaking, in the head coach's opinion, offense can be adjusted at will, but defense must be stable. Unless it is necessary, they trust the elderly who already have a tacit understanding. Instead of newcomers who may have better strength.
Don En seized this and gave up the defensive counterattack. At the beginning of the game, Nottingham Forest launched a comprehensive offensive away, putting huge pressure on Hull City, whether on the wing or the middle.
He doesn't believe that a Champions League-level defense line can block the European Champions League-level attack line.
The facts were as he thought. Hull City wanted to compete with the Forest at home, but lost four minutes later. This week, Van Nistruy, the focus was on the offside, successfully scored the first record against the offside due to the conflict between Manchester City and the Forest. The Kingston Communications Stadium was silent. These strong defenders were still a little immature when facing experienced shooter Van Nistruy...
Scoring so early completely interrupted Phil Brown's deployment and also disrupted the mood of Hull City players.
In the first round, they beat Fulham. I thought the Premier League could have a good start, so I was arrogant and wanted to win Nottingham Forest at home. Coach Brown's reason was that the strong team Nottingham Forest would definitely underestimate the opponent when facing a newly promoted team.
But he didn't know that the more he was promoted, the more he paid attention to it. On the one hand, it was related to his own experience, and on the other hand, he never missed the great opportunity to get points and win goals from the promoted team...
Poor Hull then rushed to organize a counterattack, but facing the two lines of defense led by George Wood, they did not have an advantage in physical terms, and their skills and experience were not as good as those in the game. The situation immediately took a sharp turn for the worse.
Eight minutes after the last goal, Nottingham Forest scored another goal. The person who scored this time was Eastwood. The sudden long shot at the top of the penalty area was very consistent with his style. The football drew an arc and flew directly into the far corner of the goal. 2:0!
After leading two goals, the Forest slowed down slightly. Hull City also recovered and began to try to counterattack.
The two sides were entangled on the court. During this period, Hull City won two very good opportunities, but once allowed Van der Sar to save the weapon. Another time allowed Pepe to clear the ball one-on-one with the opponent's forward.
Nottingham Forest also had a chance to score a goal. Ribery's shot hit the post and bounced out. Lennon, who followed up, wanted to make a comeback, but was kicked out by the opponent's captain Ashby.
In this game, Van der Fate was injured and could not play. Donne put Beckham in the middle and partnered with George Wood. The wing was the main one and the middle was the auxiliary one. Since Beckham had certain defensive ability, George Wood was instructed to actively participate in the offense with more forwards, striving to put more pressure on his opponents.
After scoring two goals in the first half, neither side scored another goal. The score was 2:0, and Nottingham Forest was the guest lead.
During the intermission, Tang En stood up and smiled at the two men in black: "Have the FA said he wouldn't let me go into the locker room during the intermission?"
The two looked at each other. One of them said alertly: "You can't enter the home team's locker room."
Tang En smiled even happier. “I’m not that stupid.”
Then he walked down with his head swaying.
During the break, Tang En asked the team not to satisfy the situation of leading by two goals. �
"It is appropriate to adjust the rhythm, but you can't let it go. If we face Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool, it's hard to say whether the two-goal advantage is still there. In the second half, if there is a chance to score a goal, don't let me go. Remember - wasting opportunities will be retribution!"
"What is retribution?" asked one of the team members.
"It's punishment." Tang En answered his question with a gloomy face.
In the second half, Forest team really accelerated the pace again. Just like at the beginning of the first half. Hull City originally wanted to use this time to fight back, but now they are all pressed in their own half. Poor that he can't even drive out his big feet.
Sixty-two, sixty-seven minutes. Van Nisstruy completed his first hat-trick this season. Nottingham Forest’s top scorer scored two goals in five minutes, rewriting the score to 4:0.
Hull City, nicknamed "Tiger", has also completely lost its fighting spirit.
Facing his strength has surpassed him more than one. Phil Brown is more serious about the game than himself, and he can only stand on the sidelines helplessly, and he is powerless to turn things around. He didn't expect Tony Don to be hungry for victory to the point where he won't even let go of the promotion... No, no one wants to lose. But after he has already led two goals, he still chased and beaten and never gave up. Brown looked a little cold on the sidelines. Now Nottingham Forest has led four goals, but Brown still has no intention of giving up and is still looking for every goal opportunity.
When playing against such a team, Brown felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making him breathless.
Is this the true face of Nottingham Forest, a miracle team that has swept Europe in the last three seasons...
The persistent pursuit of goals, victory, and championships has created this invincible and invincible steel force.
He habitually glanced at the visiting team coach's seat, trying to observe the head coach with many rumors up close. But looking at the empty head coach's seat, he was stunned for a moment before he realized that Tony Tangen was suspended again.
What an incomprehensible opponent...
In the 88th minute, everyone thought the game would end with this score, and Hull City was still struggling to score a goal to save face, Nottingham Forest scored another goal.
This time the goal was Beckham, the iconic free kick. When the football spun into the goal, Hull City's promotion hero was the best goalkeeper of the English Championship last season, Boaz Michel, still stood there and moved without moving.
Nottingham Forest swept Hull City 5:0 and won two consecutive victories in the new season!
Without leaving any face for the home team, Nottingham Forest won 5-0 away games.
After the last round of the league, some columnists were still criticizing Nottingham Forest's performance and believed that their league would be very difficult to start. In this round of league, Don't slapped them with practical actions.
After the game, Phil Brown lamented that this was the gap in strength - "We did our best, but unfortunately Nottingham Forest also did our best."
After two rounds of games, Nottingham Forest, who won two games in two games, ranked first in the league. They relied on their goal difference advantage to overwhelm Chelsea and Liverpool, who also won two consecutive games.
What interested Done is Chelsea's performance after Chelsea's new head coach Scolari came. It seems that although Mourinho has left, Chelsea will continue to become his excellent opponent.
The day after returning to Nottingham Forest, Tang En received another offer fax. As the double champion last season, it was normal for many players on the team to be favored by other teams. He didn't know how many similar things he received this summer.
But this time it's different.
This fax comes from Manchester City Club.
They weren't trying to keep pestering Van Nistruey.
This time, they changed their partner.
That person is... Nicklas Bentner.
Chapter completed!
