Chapter 155 The season ends

The media were still hyping up Don Eun’s hearing in the following days. Everyone wanted to know what he said to UEFA officials at the hearing, so that UEFA, who was determined to kill him, finally let him go.

Don Eun just said that even if Bruce called him and wanted to get some "internal news", he didn't say a word. This incident was destined to be a secret that would never be told. Maybe people can look forward to one day Tang Eun retreating from his coaching position and revealing some when he came out of his autobiography.

No one in UEFA mentioned this again, as if nothing had happened.

The Catalan media is still a little unhappy, but what can they do? Apart from a few yelling in their own three-point field, they have no influence. This time they lost to Tony Donne on and off the court.   I couldn't swallow that anger for a long time, so I had to allow others to vent on their own media.

But they did not get nothing. At least a calm Catalan reporter still analyzed that even Nottingham Forest successfully eliminated Barcelona, ​​it also surpassed the hurdle of UEFA. But they paid a very heavy price:

In the first round, Tony Donn was suspended for four games because he insulted the referee, so he stopped one game, and there were three games left. If the Forest team had good luck to the final, they would also face a final without the command of the head coach. At that time, Tony Donnn did not have 27,000 home team fans on the spot to serve as a soundtrack for him.

Pepe received a red card in the first round and was suspended for two games, with one game left.

George Wood was suspended for two games in the second round for violent behavior on the court, and the two semi-finals will be absent. The importance of him and Pepe to the team is self-evident. Their absence is a heavy blow to the Forests' defense.

In addition, Lennon was injured by Yaya and Toure in the second round. After the game, he was checked and confirmed that he would miss all the remaining games of the season. The two-dollar player in Nottingham Forest suffered a serious injury this season. Luck is really a bit back.

These four factors determine that their semi-finals will be very difficult to play.

Moreover, Barcelona media analysts believe that the most deadly things are two points, Wood's suspension and Don't's suspension. Tony Don't's tricks to deal with Barcelona have been exposed, and he cannot use them for the second time. And this time, UEFA's supervisor will definitely stay with him all the way to prevent him from using fans as a soundtrack to convey his latest instructions - I have to admit that he is a genius idea of ​​using fans and the team at home...

The opponent of Forest in the semi-finals is from Bayern Munich, Germany, which is a difficult bone to crack. The German team has always been tenacious and tenacious, and Donn's "spiritual motivation method" may not work for Bayern Munich. Without his on-the-spot command, Forest's strength will be reduced by at least half a level. In addition, George Wood cannot play...

Wood has always been the midfield barrier of Nottingham Forest, and his role needs no further explanation. Most people may not be able to see his role when players of his type are on the court. But once he is gone, the effect will be obvious. People who know the ball know how important the midfielder of a team is, especially the Forest team, which is based on defense and settle down.

If Wood is not present, the opponent's offense will directly threaten the forest's back line. Thiago is obviously not suitable for Wood's job. He has limited ability and physical fitness. And another very serious problem that has been intentionally or unintentionally ignored in the past has also surfaced - after searching for so many years, George Wood's qualified substitute has not been found. Now he has been suspended for two games. The Forest's midfielder can never find a defensive player. Thiago is not a pure midfield engineer. Many times he still needs to participate in the offense. When Wood is present, there is no problem with him occasionally playing a defensive midfielder because Wood is protecting him. The risk is not great. When Wood is not without Wood, his shortcomings will be magnified.

After this analysis, Nottingham Forest will not be happy for long.

As soon as the article was released in this way, it was ridiculed by Nottingham Forest fans as "the self-psychological comfort of Barcelona."

But the facts proved the foresight of this article soon...

"The match ends! Nottingham Forest lost 0:2 to Bayern Munich away.   was eliminated with a total score of 1:3!!"

With the referee's three whistles, the Allianz Stadium was filled with joy.

Bayern Munich coaches and substitutes rushed to the court, hugging the players on the court.

On the other side, the Forest players stood on the court, dejected.

The TV broadcast immediately gave a shot in a corner of the stands. Tony Donn appeared in the picture with an expressionless face. He was surrounded by a group of somewhat lost Nottingham Forest fans. This time he could no longer use his home advantage to cause trouble for his opponents, and his good luck seemed to have come to an end.

Less than five minutes into the game, the Forest team conceded a goal first. This unexpected blow disrupted all the team's previous deployment, and the subsequent game gradually broke out of Tang En's control. He was powerless in the stands in the stands.

The excited cheers of Bayern Munich fans were all in his ears. He lowered his head and turned around and left the stands with a group of fans.

"Tony Don finally lowered his proud head!" This was how the commentator interpreted this action. He then joked, "Nottingham Forest eliminated Inter Milan and Barcelona, ​​which happened to be both the European Champions League in the last two seasons. For a time, the English media called Nottingham Forest the 'Champion Killer'. This name sounds really cool, but they were unlucky because of such a name. Bayern Munich has not won the Champions League in recent years... So the magical Nottingham Forest seemed to have some motivation when facing Bayern Munich, who is not a champion. This directly led to their elimination..."

This explanation seems to make some sense.

When Tang En heard this statement after the game, he could only smile bitterly. It seems that there is really God's will in the dark?

But this can be considered a behind-the-scenes look of this game.

After the game, Tang En entered the locker room. He did not criticize the team, nor did he curse everyone, and scold everyone. He just expressed regret for the team's results when the team was eliminated. Then he praised the team's performance and said that they had tried their best and there was nothing to regret. We can only look forward to coming again next year.

At the end, he joked: "It's good that way, we've embarrassed UEFA too many times. Guys, think about it, if we really make it to the finals and win the championship... a team sitting in the stands won the cup in the end, how embarrassing it would be for UEFA? We have to give people some face."

When he said this, everyone burst into laughter. The feeling of depression that had been a little before gradually disappeared.

Tang En felt relieved when he saw everyone getting better. The Champions League has been eliminated, and it is meaningless to get involved in this past. It is better to restore the team to the league as soon as possible. This season, the Forest team must ensure that they can enter the Champions League main match next season, which is the top priority.

"Okay, guys, go home!"

Tang En clapped his hands. The speech ended. The players stood up one after another and began to pack their luggage.

Tang En, who walked out of the locker room, was soon discovered by reporters with a keen sense of smell and surrounded.

Countless microphones reached into his mouth, and they were almost stuck in. Tang En had to lean his head and lean back, trying to avoid the bad luck of "kissing" the microphone.

"Hey! Hey! Stay away from my mouth!"

"Mr. Done. Do you have anything to say about the team being eliminated?"

"I have nothing to say, winning or losing is normal. I wish Bayern Munich the final championship, just like that..."

"Mr. Done! Do you admit that being banned has a great impact on the team? The team's final elimination has a direct connection with your hot temper..."

"Nonsense! My team is a whole. I will never do anything because of losing someone. My temper is hot? I am not wrong at all. UEFA agrees with that. "Since the hearing, whenever a reporter intends to use his grudges with Barcelona to provoke trouble, he will use the golden signboard of UEFA to smash the other party, and the other party will fight back. This is shameless, but no one can touch him. "I am just protecting my legitimate rights and interests."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were indeed a killer weapon, and many reporters shut up.

"Okay. Please give in, don't block the door, okay?" Tang En stretched out his hands and pulled them out in the crowd, intending to find a way out.

"Mr. Tang En, I have another question..."

"Stay waiting for it to blossom and bear fruit!"

"Mr. Tang En, Mr. Tang En!"

Regardless of the "reluctant" attempt to keep a word from many reporters, Tang En opened a bloody road and rushed out.

Bayern Munich head coach Chrisman, who accidentally encountered this scene next to him, saw that Don Eun was surrounded by reporters and intercepted, and he laughed: "I am still the focus of the gala after being sent to the stands. I am really worthy of being a star coach."

Nottingham Forest lost the semifinals, which is not unexpectedly unpopular. After all, Bayern Munich is also the leader of the Bundesliga, and the Forest team's recent situation is indeed very bad, with many players suspended and injured. So it was already a very good result to the semifinals.

Some Forest fans even believe that the two games with Barcelona are already the finals of the Champions League this season. As long as they win Barcelona, ​​they will have nothing to ask for this season...

Such statements will naturally make Barcelona fans sneer at it and satirize Nottingham Forest for not pursuing it.

But no matter how you say that Forest also won Barcelona, ​​they are indeed qualified to be so "not pursuing"...

Nottingham Forest lost the Champions League, which is not good news for other opponents in the Premier League. No matter how much Don En feels like, he will definitely not be able to say "I hope the Forest team will be eliminated."

Because Don En's wolf pack is eliminated, it means that they will shift their entire focus to the league. The Forest team is currently ranked fourth in the league. If they do their best to deal with the league, it is not impossible to reach the second in the league. You should know that the gap between the second and fifth in the league is very small...

The opponents of the Forest team hope that Nottingham Forest will go further in the Champions League, the better. Of course, perhaps only Manchester United coach Ferguson doesn't think so, because his team once again made it to the final... His wish should be Nottingham Forest enters the final and then lose to Manchester United. The rebellious Tony Don lowered his pride in front of the old coach Ferguson and bowed his head to surrender. Next summer, he announced his transfer to Manchester United, taking over Ferguson's class, and leading the Red Devils Manchester United to continue sweeping England and Europe... This is really the perfect end of his coaching career.

So after Manchester United advanced to the final, he said: "I think it's a pity. If I can choose an opponent, I would rather meet Tony Don in the final. Of course, the premise is that he can't be in the stands..."

His words aroused the dissatisfaction of Bayern Munich clubs, and the Bundesliga giants thought they were insulted. Ferguson quickly came out to explain: "I am not targeting Bayern Munich. It is a great team, and of course I also think it is a great thing to be able to meet them in the finals. I will take any opponent seriously... I just hope to choose my opponent freely in the last game of my coaching career." After explanation, it sounds like I look down on Bayern Munich.

Some media said that Ferguson was so confused that he became darker the more he described it.

But maybe this is the psychological warfare used by the old fox Ferguson against his younger generation Klinsman?

At least Tang En didn't get involved. He might be one of the people who understand Ferguson's mind - this must be a psychological warfare. It seems that the old man is bound to win the last Champions League championship in his coaching career.

His response was: "I may go back to watch the game live, but this is not a question I care about. Now all I care about is the league. We will make a comeback next season."

In the end, Nottingham Forest won the third place in the league and successfully advanced to the main match of the European Champions League next season. Arsenal led by Wenger successfully reversed and devoted more attention to Manchester United in the Champions League final and ascended the Premier League throne. Not achieving a double championship may be Ferguson's regret and a concentrated reflection of his and Wenger's grudges for more than ten years.

At Schalke 04's home court, he has announced that he will officially retire after the end of this season. Alex Ferguson, a generation godfather of Manchester United, led his Red Devils to defeat Bundesliga king Bayern Munich with a score of 2:1, and laughed to the end in this strong match. He fulfilled his promise many years ago:

I will retire if I win another European Champions League.

At one of the best stadiums in Europe, he held up a trophy that symbolized the highest honor of European clubs. But the expression on his face did not look like a professional head coach, but more like an elder who enjoyed his old age. The passion had faded, but he felt a sense of ease of lifting his burden. At this moment, he seemed to have been ten years old, and even the redness of the Scottish countryside on his face faded.

Tony Donn saw this scene in the stands at Aofuschalke Stadium. He suddenly felt that Ferguson was too far away from him at this moment. It was not the distance from the stands to the stadium, but across the European continent.

He stood up and applauded Ferguson's curtain call like others, feeling a little happy and lonely.

From now on, there is one less powerful opponent and one less good opponent...
