Chapter 126: Slothing after the game

The reporters gathered in the mixed area have dispersed, and no players are staying there waiting for reporters to interview. The focus at this time is no longer on them.

In the press room of San Siro Stadium, a press conference with special significance is being held.

Inter Milan's head coach Mourinho sat on the left, Nottingham Forest head coach Tony Done sat on the right. The English media hasn't seen this scene for more than three years, so they seemed a little excited, but the Italian media felt that this was just an ordinary press conference.

Don and Mourinho soon showed them what kind of press conference this was...

Reality, a reporter from "Milan Sports" raised his hand to ask Mourinho to express his views on this game.

Mourinho snorted: "We are not very lucky and we were unable to win in the end. I am not very satisfied with the two goals conceded, but football is like this, you can only accept it..."

Then he said some nonsense that said something equals not saying it.

The same reporter threw this question at Don En again, and Don En smiled and said, "Murinho said they were not lucky? I think they were too lucky. Otherwise, we should take three points away from here instead of just one point. The game is over, and I don't want to evaluate the referee's work anymore..." In fact, he no longer causes any trouble for himself. "But I think Mr. Mourinho should really thank God for allowing them to get this point."

The smell of gunpowder has appeared.

Don En took the initiative to provoke, and Mourinho refused to let go.

The press conference was able to continue.

This time, another reporter from England asked a question. He was obviously much clearer about the story between Don and Mourinho than his Italian counterparts: "Mr. Mourinho. You never seemed to have defeated Tony Don when you led the team. Don't this time, do you think this matter has become a vicious cycle?"

Mourinho has answered many questions like this in England during his years in England. He has long been tired of asking such questions. So he decided not to answer.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Tang En next to him raised his hand and smiled and saved the scene: "I can answer your question. Mr. Reporter."

Mourinho knew that Don't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth, so he glanced at Don't win with his eyes.

"It's like this. Mr. Mourinho and I never care about this kind of record." Surprisingly, Don N's first words were to help Mourinho speak. "Because this doesn't mean anything. After all, I have nineteen opponents in the league. Even if I can win every time I meet Mr. Mourinho's team, it's only six points. What's the point? Nothing can do. So, for Mourinho's record of unbeaten, I care more about the championship."

Speaking of this, it’s all pretty normal.

But then Tang En changed his voice.

"However, although I don't particularly value Mourinho's unbeaten record, I don't want to lose for no reason. No head coach wants to lose. So I will not treat Mourinho's team alone, but try to win as any opponent. So the result is... what you see!"

At the end, Tang En smiled a little proudly.

Everyone understood that Tang En was a cheap man and was acting obedient!

This practice is so annoying!

Mourinho wanted to shut up Done. Because he could not refute this matter. What did he say? He said, "Actually, I don't care about that bullshit record, I only care about the result"? But the result was that he did not win the game against Tony Done, and the team was in a deadlock on the road to promotion to the Champions League. Or, "Although we didn't win this time, I promise to win next time!" This is a bit boring. It's really not a good idea to say such words. It's like a gambler who was so angry that he swears to ask someone to borrow money. Mourinho absolutely can't say such words.

Mourinho wanted to leave with a dark face, but he couldn't. Because his boss Moratti has warned him more than once that this is Italy, not England, and he must pay attention to his image. His image is also the image of Inter Milan.

The problem is a little normal next time. I hope the head coaches will comment on the performance of the players in the game. Mourinho highly praised Quaresma for his goal and performance. His words spread through the media will definitely make Quaresma ecstatic. And Don E praised the whole team, and he did not praise anyone alone, even if George Wood's performance shines throughout the game. But... Don E is indeed a reincarnation of a mad dog. Such questions can make him speak with gunpowder.

"...I don't praise any player alone, not because they performed poorly. On the contrary, their performance was so outstanding. I can't praise some players alone. If I really want to name them, I will call out all the names of all the Forest players on the court. I am very satisfied with the team's performance tonight. Although we tied this game, we won two away goals, which was the result of everyone working together. In contrast, only a few people in Inter Milan performed normally..." The implication is that why Mourinho praised Quaresma alone? Because there is no one who can praise him except this.

Mourinho is not a fool, but he can only pretend to be mute at this time. Who made himself lose to Don En? At his home court, the draw means losing.

This result made him too frustrated. What’s even more frustrating is that if the referee had not given the extra gratitude at the last moment, he might have faced the result of a home defeat.

Pierce Bruce stood up and asked Done. Is the away draw in Inter Milan avenged the revenge of Inter Milan's elimination of the Forest team in the first two seasons.

But Don Eun shook his head and corrected the Bruce problem: "First of all, it wasn't that we tied Inter Milan away, but Inter Milan tied us at home. Secondly, I don't think this is a successful revenge, it's just a draw. We still haven't played in one game. After that game is finished, I may be able to say as you asked."

Mourinho finally found a counterattack opportunity: "Don't talk too early. Mr. Don. I don't think you can win Inter Milan when you return to home. Since you can score two goals in our home court, why can't Inter Milan score at least two goals in your home court?"

Don Ha said, "Well said, Mr. Mourinho. No matter what we say here, it is useless. I think football is based on foot, not on mouth. I am looking forward to the game then."

"I'm looking forward to it too." Mourinho responded with a cold face.

It seemed to be specifically about embarrassing him. At this time, an English reporter spoke and asked: "I lost two goals at home, and the situation of the team's promotion is very serious. Mr. Mourinho, what do you think about the current situation?"

"I admit the game will be tough. But I have confidence. We have eliminated them once, and this time is no exception."

Tang En curled his lips, but he didn't say "That's because I'm not here."

It is certainly a great thing to win in a quarrel with Mourinho. But this may in turn hurt the relationship between coaches such as Don and Chris Lack. Because it indirectly shows that his assistants are incompetent...

The press conference ended in a lukewarm and awkward atmosphere. Mourinho hurriedly left the scene without even shaking hands with Tony Don. Don.                                                                                                           

He scored two goals away from home, which made Mourinho lose his temper at the press conference. These two things made him feel very good.

Although Donn did not name George Wood at the post-match press conference, Wood's outstanding performance in the game has attracted a lot of attention. The opponents of Nottingham Forest are terrified to discover that the fool who used to be the silly boy who only ran around the defense and ran like a headless fly has now grown into a very deterrent offensive weapon in Nottingham Forest formation.

"He can freeze the opponent's midfield core one-on-one. His excellent physical fitness and perverted physique that never hurts him to worry about attendance. He has long shots like a world wave. Now he can even dribble from the backcourt and pass several people to the opponent's penalty area... Can you ask for more? Tony Donn has been focusing on developing Wood's offensive ability since this season. He intends to build George Wood into the team's double core - Wood used to be a spiritual core, and now he has signs of moving closer to the tactical core. He can intercept directly in the midfield. Then he can deliver shells to his teammates, and in some cases he can also create opportunities for his own way of driving the ball. Such a midfielder is a dream for any head coach."

The media have a good comment. George Wood is in good shape now. His physical fitness is also in an upward period and his position in the national team is becoming more and more important. Although Lampard has not announced his withdrawal from the national team, it is impossible for him to shake George Wood's main position in the national team.

The person who partnered with Wood was sometimes Gerald, sometimes Barry, and sometimes it was Joe Cole, and only Wood was invincible. Capello liked this serious boy very much. The only thing that needed a headache was that Wood took yellow cards a lot, and although he didn't take red cards much, he was still very depressed if he had cumulative yellow cards suspended.

After Nottingham Forest returned to England, it was welcomed by many fans. They scored two goals away from home, and now the public is unanimously optimistic about them. The local media in Nottingham can't wait to start to care about the battle between Forest and Barcelona. Poor Mourinho was thrown aside...

Even the Forest players were very satisfied with this result in the interview and expressed optimism about the team's prospects for promotion.

Someone took the initiative to talk about their next opponent Barcelona during an interview. If someone who is not aware of the inside story would have thought that the game that just ended was the second round between Nottingham Forest and Inter Milan...

This optimism continued to the league, with Nottingham Forest defeating Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 at home in the Premier League. For a time, the media praised Nottingham Forest as an invincible battleship.

So they met Bolton with this idea in the 28th round of the Premier League, which was Nottingham Forest's home court. Everyone thought that the Forest team, who was in good shape, defeated Bolton, who ranked 16th in the league, was no problem.

But……

Nathan Wolfe, who is nearly 21 years old, scored twice in the game, helping his team defeat the powerful Nottingham Forest. The score of that game was 1:2. The home team was in front and the away team was in the back.

When the game ended, Don Eun, who was sitting in the coach's seat, did not express his anger at this. He neither threw a suit nor kicked a water bottle, nor even made endless swearing words. He just stood up and shook hands with Bolton's head coach Phil Brown, expressionless.

Some people think that Don Eun must be angry because he is out of trouble, so he will not express his opinion at all. The players in Nottingham Forest also think so. The loss to Bolton, a weak team on the edge of the relegation zone, isn’t this result enough to make the boss furious? So after they hurriedly thanked the fans on the scene, they hurriedly lowered their heads and walked into the locker room, and everyone was waiting with fear to bear the boss’s anger.

But the facts were beyond their expectations.

Tang En told them with a smile that "losed well".

"Do you know why I say that? I'm definitely not talking sarcastically, so you don't have to worry about me squirting your saliva. I'm not confused by being angry and talking nonsense. I'm very awake. I've seen your previous performances. I didn't remind you that you just feel that saying that kind of words is not very convincing enough when you are enthusiastic. But now it's different. " He spreads his hands, "You just lost a game, and the one who lost is the weak Bolton. I think it must be very convincing to say it now, and no one will whisper in his heart: 'The boss always speaks alarmist'. Now I will tell you--if you continue to face Inter Milan with this mentality, you will lose even your underwear!"

"Am I exaggerating? Let's take a look at the game that just ended. I bet you must think that Bolton will soon fall into the relegation circle before the game, so the opponent who will soon fall into the relegation circle can win without any effort, right?"

No one said anything, but everyone knew in their hearts that the boss was right... Facing the team ranked fourth from the bottom, few people could be interested, especially when an important championship cup was about to usher in.

"A team like Bolton will lose the game because of underestimating the opponent for a while. Do you think Inter Milan is not as good as Bolton? So this game is really timely. If you have to lose a game because of your pride, I would rather lose an ordinary league than a Champions League. So I am laughing now because I know I will not lose the Champions League. Will I?"

"No, boss." Someone answered him.

"This is what you said." Tang En pointed at the players, "Men must keep their word. If they lose, you are not men."
