Chapter 123 Let’s go crazy together!

There was a little noisy in the locker room, and everyone was talking about the first half, expressing their opinions, or suggesting how other teammates would do better. Only Fernandez sat in his own position, lowering his head and playing with the towel in his hand, as if he was back to the initial unsociable appearance of joining the team.

He is still regretting that he missed the Egg Knife in the first half.

All the players came in, and Don En was the last to enter the locker room, the door closed behind him, and the noise outside disappeared in an instant.

Hearing that the locker room suddenly became quiet, Fernandez knew who was coming, so he buried his head lower. After more than half a season of getting along, he had already figured out his temper. The team had the chance to lead the first half, but he accepted the draw because of his own mistake. The King of Nottingham Forest will definitely be very dissatisfied, and a storm-like scolding cannot be escaped.

As a player, Fernandez is not a person who likes to talk back to the head coach, so he can only choose to bear this reprimand by himself silently.

After Tang En entered the house, the expression on his face told others that he was going to curse.

His eyes swept around the locker room and finally fell on the boy who lowered his head and kept fiddling with the towel in his hand.

In fact, when Fernandez lost the football, he just felt a pity, but when he saw Fernandez didn't choose to continue running to shoot, he stood there and was upset, and his heart suddenly became annoyed.

I can allow you to be poor in ejaculation or have bad luck, but I don’t want to see you as a tragic appearance as a dog who falls into the water.

Therefore, he admired Ibisevic's actions afterwards - rushing up and roaring at Fernandez, who bowed his head and said nothing, fully expressing his dissatisfaction.

Don En would not think that this behavior would affect the harmony of the team. On the contrary, he felt that if everyone in the team was like Ibisekic, the atmosphere in the locker room would be so harmonious that it would not be harmonious anymore.

I need a team that is eager to pursue victory, not a team that sacrifices some of the most precious things for harmony.

Donn walked straight towards Fernandez, stopped in front of him, and hugged him in his own shadow.

"Matias. You seem to be upset, what are you upset?" He was not afraid that Fernandez would not understand. He has been in the UK for more than half a year. Although he is not fluent in English, there is no problem with listening.

The boss had to answer the question, and Fernandez lowered his head and replied in simple English: "That ball... didn't go..."

“Is that just that?”

Fernandez didn't know what the boss was talking about. He had the only chance to be upset in the first half. Other times, his performance was average and he did not make any mistakes.

"Actually, I don't care whether the ball has scored or not." Tang En shook his head, "I really don't care, after all, we have an away goal now."

As his voice rang out in the locker room, the others' attention was turned to him and Fernandez.

"Your performance disappointed me, Matthias." Done stood and Fernandez sat. He did not lean down and said this to Fernandez, but stood up and looked down at the other party. "I don't care whether the goal is scored. What I care about is the attitude you showed... Look at what you did after you missed your first shot? Stand in place! Hold your head with your hands! Have you been attacked by terrorists??"

Tang En suddenly raised his voice, despite being mentally prepared. Everyone in the locker room couldn't help but his heart hopped. It was like a car driving on a bumpy mountain road. With a slam, everyone in the car hit his head.

Donn stared at Fernandez with gritted teeth, and even flames could be emitted in his eyes.

"As long as the ball has not yet gone out of bounds, you have to rush up and shoot for me! Even if you kick the ball into outer space with one kick, I won't be dissatisfied. If the opponent gets the ball first, you can kick him into outer space with one shot!"

Fernandez's head was buried even lower by the bad temper.

Tang En couldn't stand this kind of virtue. He stretched out his hands and pulled Fernandez out of his seat. "Raise your head! It's just that you didn't score a goal. What's so great about it? No matter when you have to be full of fighting spirit! Fighting spirit! What is fighting spirit? Fighting spirit means not to admit defeat! If others say you are trash, you have to rush up and suck them! Just don't lower your head and say nothing!!"

Tang was a little worried about Tang En's heart, so he coughed from the side. Unexpectedly, Tang En turned around and glared at him: "Did you have a cold? Tang?"

"Uh...no." Tang knew that it would be better for him not to speak at this time.

"Yes... sorry, boss..." Fernandez quickly apologized.

"Shou shalt do this! What do you do when you say sorry to me? Fighting is not that others scold you, and you kneel down and beg for mercy! What should you do? What should you do?"

Although Fernandez hadn't stayed in Nottingham Forest for a long time, he also understood a little bit what he should do. So he raised his head: "I will try my best to make up for this mistake in the second half, boss."

Don Eun let go of Fernandez's shoulder and patted him, his face as if it was June, and it instantly turned into a clear sun. "Very good. It seems you understand."

Although Tang En was ruthless when she scolded others. But from another perspective. If you don’t treat this as a “swear”, you may not be so uncomfortable - he is actually explaining you the truth. But his tone is more intense, his movements are more exaggerated, his emotions are richer, and his methods are more extreme...

After "speaking the truth" to Fernandez, Don turned around and looked at the others in the locker room.

"In general, you did a good job in the first half. We scored a away goal, that one lost the goal..." He glanced at George Wood. "It's not any of you're the fault." He noticed that Wood's facial muscles moved for a moment, and he was happy.

"But we need to make some adjustments. It seems that Quaresma is in good shape today. If Mourinho is a smart person, he will definitely make great use of the ground in the second half. We need to pay attention to his guard. George, I remember you are on the right, right?"

Wood nodded: "It's the land."

Among the double midfielders, Wood is on the right and Thiago is on the left.

"In the second half, you can change positions with Thiago. Come to the left. When defending, help Barnes and Fernandez limit Quaresma to the wing."

This is the sentence Wood wants to hear the most. His answer was even loud: "Okay!"

Of course, Don En knew what Wood was thinking, so he added: "Try not to foul, and never be allowed to take cards."

Although Wood rarely eats those meaningless land cards now, Don En still has to give him a special reminder again. It is a double-edged sword to make Wood full of fighting spirit against Quaresma. If he accidentally scratches his finger, it will be more than worth the loss.

"Guys, Inter Milan wants to play against us to defend and counterattack. So you need to pay more attention to defense in the second half than in the first half. We defended first as soon as we got up and slowly grinded with Inter Milan in the midfield. The situation is good for us. As long as they can't score goals for a long time, they will become more impatient as the game time goes by, and they will be thrown aside by Mourinho's tactics. That's our chance."

Pepe stood up and asked, "Boss, are you talking about our defensive counterattack in the second half?"

Tang En snapped his fingers: "That's right!"

When Donn "reasoned" Fernandez in the locker room, Mourinho was busy telling the players about the tactical adjustments in the second half.

Although the score of 1:1 in the first half contained a certain accidental component. It can also explain the problem. Mourinho discovered one: if he still looked at Tony Don and his land Nottingham Forest with an old eye, then Inter Milan might suffer a big loss in this game.

What is your old vision? It means Tony Don and his team are not good at positional battles. When the opponent holds back and fights against the Forest, Tony Don and his players are at a loss and can only rely on some set pieces and luck to win the game. At least this habit has not been improved before Mourinho left England.

But from the first half, Nottingham Forest is now completely out of the problem of not being good at positional warfare. Don En, a special "Christmas tree", is the best choice for positional warfare. The first attack is often not important in positional warfare. What is important is second attack and three attacks... In this regard, Nottingham Forest can now be easily achieved in the midfield. The midfield has thickness, offense has levels, and defense has depth. It will neither be counterattacked by the opponent at the end of one attack, nor will the opponent break through one side after a little break. Look at them playing around Inter Milan in the first half, they really have the style of a strong team...

If Forest continues to play like this in the second half, Mourinho cannot guarantee whether Inter Milan can hold on, so a change must be made. He guessed that Don Eun would not insist on pressing Inter Milan in the second half. Think from the perspective of others, if Mourinho was in Don Eun's current situation, he would give up on continuing to siege Inter Milan. That would leave too much room behind him and allow the opponent to easily fight back.

"...The offensive of Nottingham Forest in the second half should not be as fierce as in the first half, so it was our turn to attack. Also, pay attention to our own back. You all see how sharp their counterattack is, right? You will see the ground frequently in the second half."

"We must pay attention to their two sides and their quick counterattacks. We must also strengthen the attack on the flank and use our attacks to suppress their attacks." At this point, he glanced at Quaresma.

The Portuguese fellow villager was listening to the coach's arrangement with a satisfied smile on his face.

Can a game change the fate of a player? Mourinho thinks this kind of thing is not reliable. But he really needs to rely on Quaresma's power in this game.

He said he should pay attention to the attack on the wing. Quaresma is also one of the two wings, and the implication is very obvious.

Quaresma is obviously excited about the meaning shown by the head coach. He has been marginal figures for several seasons in Inter Milan. He has a superb footwork but cannot be used to conquer the head coach, which disappoints him. Now this 8th-final match against Nottingham Forest may be a good opportunity, and Mancini's injury and absence may not be God's arrangement. As long as he maintains this state and momentum, even if the Brazilian returns from injury in the future, he will probably have to play a substitute for himself.

Quaresma was very excited about such a future, and he couldn't wait to hope that the second half would start soon.

However, Mourinho also made his own request to Quaresma: "Ricardo, don't limit your position to the wing. I know you like the feeling of dribbling on the wing. But you should be more flexible in this game. Both wings and middles are fine."

Quaresma nodded and said that he knew, and only a fool would shake his head and object.

After saying to Quaresma, Mourinho began to turn his attention to everyone. "The focus of this game is to try to score goals without continuing to concede the ball. You must remember that a score of 1:1 is absolutely not good, 2:2, 3:3 is not good! You must win, and you cannot let them score again. Otherwise, our home advantage is meaningless! Tony Don and his Nottingham Forest want to take revenge. No matter what he thinks or what others say, the current situation is not good for us. We have reached the edge of the cliff. If you are not careful, you will fall down. Be careful!"

Mourinho's last words were equivalent to tactfully admitting his previous mistakes. He once said that the players should not care whether this was a revenge battle in Nottingham Forest, just play it as an ordinary game. But now he found that this was impossible. If it was really considered an ordinary game, then his team would have lost. Because the game had been dragged into his track by Tony Donn since the pre-game battle.

Tony Donn seems to have a magic power that can make people he has been exposed to go crazy with him.

Now, Mourinho can only follow him crazy, letting the players realize that this game is different from those ordinary games in the past. Why is it different? It’s not because they once blew their heads two seasons ago, that’s just an excuse and a guise that Don En used to play psychological warfare. The reason for the difference is simple-
