The day's rest time is short, and everyone seizes the time to enjoy this moment of peace. Because they will soon face two fierce championship battles.

On the day of training resumed, Tang En smiled and waited for the players in the training ground, greeted everyone, and observed their expressions. The result made him very satisfied. These players did not play crazy. When they relaxed, they still remembered that there were two key battles waiting for them.

From the 13th to the 17th, Nottingham Forest's training was not all aimed at Tottenham Hotspur. Don Eun is so familiar with this opponent in the FA Cup that he can't be familiar with. They have to fight at least twice a year. There is no secret between the two teams. The game at that time can be expected to be very intense, with a kind of stimulation from the punches to the flesh.

While preparing for the FA Cup, Don En thought more about the Champions League final.

The La Liga is not over yet, but it is undoubtedly true that Real Madrid won the league championship. Although they have no chance to win the Copa del Rey, it is still amazing to win the double championship.

Spanish media have already analyzed how likely it is to win the tenth European Champions League in the club's history. For this reason, they listed history to prove that Real Madrid is the true emperor of the Champions League this season. In 2000, Real Madrid eliminated Barcelona, ​​and in the end they defeated Valencia 3-0 in the final and successfully won the eighth European Champions League trophy in the club's history.

Of course, the English media are not to be outdone. The historical cases they have cited are also very convincing: in the era of Brian Clauve, Nottingham Forest successfully defended the European Champions League, which happened to be at the Bernabeu Stadium. It can be said that the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain is their blessed land.

It seems that everyone doesn't care much about the FA Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur is much simpler than the Forests. The only championship they can win this season is the FA Cup. If Nottingham Forest does not pay attention to it, it is still a good thing for them. They can concentrate on winning the FA Cup and thus qualify for the League Cup next season. They are not ideal in the league this season. If they want to earn more income and honors next season, only the FA Cup can still fight.

There are even Tottenham Hotspur fans who said they won the FA Cup and Nottingham Forest won the Champions League, which is the ideal ending.

But...How can the sparrow know the ambition of a swan?

The game will start a few days before it starts, and Don En is unwilling to be lonely and provokes a war of words. When he was interviewed by reporters, he kept talking about the Champions League, what about Real Madrid? What about the Bernabeu? But he never talked about the FA Cup or the FA Cup opponents.

Later, the reporter who interviewed him couldn't help it and asked: "What do you think of the FA Cup final that is about to start, Mr. Tang En?"

Don En asked strangely: "What do you need to look at? We can't be familiar with the opponents who meet at least twice a year. I don't think a FA Cup will transform them into a team of Arsenal's level. There is nothing to worry about." He smiled at the reporter, as if confident.

Such attitude and remarks naturally angered Tottenham Hotspur. Their fans must have regretted supporting Forests in the last round of the league to reverse Arsenal and win the championship.

Harry Redknapp is a veteran coach in English football and can be regarded as a celebrity. Now his team has been insulted by the juniors. He has to jump out and say something.

"Of course I hope Coach Tony Donn thinks so, because then we will have a greater chance of winning the championship. I even hope that Coach Tonn will continue to think so."

He expressed his dissatisfaction tactfully by actively showing weakness.

His men are not so well-educated.

Fabian Delphi, a former outstanding player trained by Leeds youth training camp, transferred to Tottenham two seasons ago. He has now become the main player of Tottenham. He told reporters: "I have always been looking forward to fighting with coach Don't be able to play in such an important game. I have not concealed my thoughts...I just want to defeat them!"

"A team of Arsenal is of the same level? A team of such level loses the league championship? Why do we become a team of that? Tottenham is Tottenham. We don't need to become anyone, we can also defeat Nottingham Forest." As a central defender who has been playing for the team so far, Ridley King not only refuted Don'tane's statement, but also mocked Arsenal who lost the league championship. He is truly a veteran of Tottenham and has a deeper hatred for the Gunners than anyone else.

"We once brought Arsenal down, but now we can still bring Nottingham Forest down!" Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez also hopes to win the first championship trophy he has come to Tottenham.

In fact, Tottenham and Forests still have some connections. Because in the current Tottenham Hotspur team, there are two former Forest players. One is center back Michael Dawson, and the other is Jermaine Jenas.

The latter has a very weak relationship with Nottingham Forest because he left the team long before Donn accepted the team.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  �

Jenas had no feelings for Don Eun, and he also played a small game in the battle of words. Dawson was grateful to Don Eun for fostering his affection and did not participate. He would not have such thoughts when he arrived at the game. He must have done his best to defeat Nottingham Forest.

After Don En disrupted Tottenham and became uneasy, he pulled away. Of course, his behavior in the interview was pretended. Not only did he not look down on Tottenham, he also attached great importance to Tottenham. In the past few days, the team has been doing targeted training about Tottenham.

If there is anything special about the FA Cup, it is because this is the final, and the opponent may burst out with more fighting spirit and energy than usual. This energy can make up for the gap in strength between the two teams. If the Forest team is not careful, it will also capsize in the gutter.

Since Tang En wanted to create a great achievement in the Triple Crown King, accidents like capsizing in the gutter are naturally absolutely not allowed to happen.

With two days left before the game, he asked the whole team to watch the video of Tottenham's last five games to get familiar with their opponents. He analyzed every detail for the players in front of the TV, including Tottenham's usual tactics, the technical characteristics and shortcomings of each player on the court. How to use these shortcomings in different situations, how to deal with them... and so on.

The training time on the field has been deliberately reduced in the past two days, and watching the game video has become a compulsory course for everyone.

Who dares to say that Tang En doesn't value his opponent? If his opponent really thinks so, then there will be a good show at that time.

Watching the video made everyone familiar with their opponent's situation and fully prepared.

Next, Nottingham Forest just wait for the game to start.

On May 15, the Forest team set off to leave Nottingham. The whole team took a car to London and moved into the hotel. Prepare for the 17th-day FA Cup final. This is the first time that the team has entered the FA Cup final since Donn led the team. The club attached great importance to it. The Chairman even put down other work and rushed to London to cheer up the team. He claimed that as long as he won the FA Cup, he would immediately cash out a prize.

The club chairman uses money to motivate the morale of the players, while Tang En uses discipline to ensure the players' condition. He requires everyone to go to bed before eleven o'clock, get up before 8 o'clock in the morning, and have an hour lunch break at noon. There is no pork during three meals, and there is no drink in these two days. And these regulations are not only used to restrain players, but all coaches also enjoy this "treatment". It is good to get up on time, and not allow those British men to drink, which is really more uncomfortable than killing them.

Tang En told them in the internal meeting of the coaching staff that there is nothing better than leading by example to manage a team. If you ask your subordinates to abide by your established regulations, then you must first abide by it, which is convincing. It is like Wood always trains the most hardworking. The person who is the most serious in the game, so even if he is not good at speaking, he has a very high prestige in the team. This is the power of "setting by example".

He attaches great importance to this FA Cup final, and he will not allow mistakes even in a small place.

This is also Tony Tangen's first time...

He has experienced many firsts in his life, but this first time has come late.

Even though he has won many championships, he is still a little nervous when facing the FA Cup. He is a little like a talented man who goes to Beijing to take the exam. He doesn't know if he will be on the list or fail in a day.

Another reason why he values ​​the FA Cup is very simple - this is the second champion of the Triple Crown. If he loses the FA Cup, he will lose the ideal of striving for it for a whole season. This is the same as the league. Failure is absolutely not allowed.

The day before the game, when the team went to Wembley to adapt to the venue, the head coaches of both sides sat together for a press conference.

Redknapp and Donn sat together and could not tell at all that they had just spitted each other in the media.

The two were polite, and Tang En maintained enough respect for the old seniors, and Redknapp also seemed to have forgotten that Tang En deliberately looked down on Tottenham before.

They only talk about themselves, not about their opponents. The reporters' meeting was as warm as water, which was very disappointing. The reporters who came from the news wanted to provoke them at the meeting, but the two foxes, one old and one young, were not fooled. You pulled yours, I pulled mine.

If a reporter insists on asking questions about Tang En's remarks a few days ago, Tang En would simply act like a scoundrel and not answer. Anyway, it is not the first time he has done this, and he is very familiar with it.

On May 17, light rain began to rise in London from the early morning. The temperature dropped four degrees yesterday and the weather was cool. The light rain should not have a big impact on the court, so Tang En asked the coaching staff to prepare two sets of shoe nails for the players.

When I went to the court in the afternoon, the rain was still falling. Tang En looked at the sky in the distance before getting on the car. The sky on the Wembley Stadium was shiny, and the rain seemed to be going to be a while later.

In the car, Tang En received a text message from his wife, reminding him not to get too much rain while directing the competition in the venue and be careful of a cold.

The players were relatively relaxed, and some people started playing poker behind them. Don Eun didn't care about them either. It would be beneficial to relax at this time.

Tang En just looked back at the player, then looked down at the text message on the phone screen.

If there is anything else that can calm his heart in such a tense moment when the war is about to break out, then it must be the concern of his wife.

When Wembley Stadium appeared in everyone's sight, the players in the car who played cards, closed their eyes, listened to music, and sent text messages all looked up at the iconic England stadium ahead.

This is their decisive battlefield.

Tang En also took his eyes off his phone and looked at the huge court under the dark sky outside the window.

This is not the first time he has fought at Wembley, but it is the first time he has played in the FA Cup final.   It should not feel different.

He closed his eyes and passed each opponent in his mind. He was sure that he and the team were ready, and the FA Cup must belong to them.

The bus is good in front of the dedicated passage, and the fans nearby have already rushed up to see the players' style as soon as possible.

Chris Lack was the first to jump out of the car and waved in the rain, "get out of the car!"

The players got off the bus in a row and were still leisurely responding to the fans' shouts.

Tang En got off the car last, and he was pulled by the reporters, so he must ask him to answer a few questions.

Tang En remembered Xianya's text message and he looked straight: "Don't ask about the prediction of the game, don't ask about the prediction of the score, don't ask about the tactical arrangements, don't ask about the starting list..."

"Then what else can we ask?" Someone among the reporter protested.

"Ah, is there no problem? Then I'll say goodbye first." Tang En turned around and left after playing tricks on the media. He was not in the mood to get wet with the reporters wearing raincoats and umbrellas here.

"Hello……"

"Mr. Tang En, please stay..."

"He was fooled by him again!" The reporter complained.

"Well, he'd better pray that his team won't lose the FA Cup, otherwise I won't let him go easily in the newspaper!"

"I think he'd better pray that his team will keep winning like this, otherwise we won't let him go..."

Tang En didn't hear the vicious curse of the reporters. He quickly walked into the corridor to avoid getting wet.

Even if he heard it, he didn't care. It was not that easy for those reporters to catch their own. He wouldn't give his opponents a chance easily.
Chapter completed!
