Chelsea closed the gap on points with Manchester United and made the headlines the day after the Chelsea game. Jose Mourinho told the press that he had to win everything this season to win the title, and next to his words in this interview was a picture of Alex Ferguson blushing at his post-match press conference.

The English media have always handled this kind of thing very well, and readers can see at a glance the relationship and the story behind it.

Directing it all Donn was hiding in Forest's training Kewerford to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. The final sprint.

For him. The more chaotic Chelsea and Manchester United play, the better. He's going to win out of chaos.

There are still four days to go until the Champions Cup final. Don announced that the team has entered a closed training phase and that all training sessions will not be open to the media. Even people with good connections like Pierce & 8226: Bruce can't get permission to go into Wilford for interviews.

Of course, not everyone will do what Don wants, otherwise the world will be much easier for Don En.

For example, recently Tang En found that Tang Jing and Tang walked a little close...... It's really a thing that makes him touch his chin and smack his lips.

Breaks between trainings. The players are sitting on the sidelines to rest. They chatted about topics of interest to each other. The coaches of the coaching staff, too, talked the most about the Champions Cup semi-finals

Reached the semi-finals for two consecutive seasons. Even if they're all Nottingham Foresters. I still didn't expect this result, it seems that my head coach really has a mysterious aura?

Don didn't care what others thought of him, he walked straight to Don and leaned over and took out a bottle of water. Unscrewed and poured a large mouthful. Then he looked at the players on the field and said to Don, "What is that woman looking for you?"

Tang En was referring to Tang Jing, and he knew that Tang must be aware of it.

"It's nothing, let's talk about domestic topics...... Don is becoming more and more like a Chinese, and he used to be just an appearance. Now it's very Chinese from the outside in," he said, "talking about Chinese football." ”

Don almost choked on the water.

"Ahem! You two are so boring...... Ahem!"

Look at Donn's embarrassment. Don didn't have any expression.

"Talking about Chinese football...... Hey. It seems that when I will talk to you about Chinese football, see how you see this from the perspective of a foreigner......"

"Nothing. Didn't understand it before. Now they all understand. Don also found the topic boring. Reluctant to go deeper.

"She didn't try to find out what plans we had for the semi-finals of the Champions Cup?" Don tilted his head to look at Don.

"Inquiry." Don nodded.

"Oh? How did you deal with it?"

"No comment."

Tang En raised his head and thought about how Tang Jing looked when he faced Tang Jing, who had nothing to do...... It seems like a good fit.

"It's good, women are bad, especially curious women." Don nodded. "I don't want anything to go wrong."

"Tony. I didn't understand this. We know Chelsea very well and Chelsea know us very well. It seems that there is no need to engage in closed training......" Tang raised the question in his heart.

"Closed training is not all about keeping information secret." Donn pointed to the players. 'It also allows the players to put their minds on the game. Let them know physically and mentally what kind of game this is going to be, this is ...... A semi-final that you can't afford to lose. ”

Don looked at Don's back from behind, was silent for a moment, and opened his mouth. After some hesitation, he spoke again: "Will the pressure be too much?"

"Huh?"

"Give Demi the best farewell game. Another final for George. Unbeaten record against Jose Mourinho...... You put these things on yourself. No one asked you to do this, aren't you afraid that the pressure will be too great to hold on?"

Hearing Don say this, Don smiled and pointed to his heart, "I did it on purpose." I'm afraid that once this place is loosened, it will be difficult to tighten it again. ”

Face Don with a smiley face. Don also had nothing to say.

Throwing down and drinking half of the water, Donn walked over to Chris Lack. Pat him on the shoulder: "Whistle." Keep training. ”

With that, he put his sunglasses back on. stood in the shadows.

There are four days left until the semi-finals on the 26th.

※※※

April 25 is the first day of the Champions League semi-finals, with Manchester United hosting Azilan and Forest and Chelsea on the second day.

This year's Champions Cup semi-finals. With three English teams on the list, it's a great event for the English media to be well advertised. Once the "number one league in the world", the Italian Primera Division, has declined, and La Liga has been weak after a few years of strength. It's the Premier League!

The media in England are so optimistic. The three teams formed a siege of AC Milan, and it is very likely that England will win the championship and runner-up in the end.

The Bundesliga has declined, and Ligue 1 has long been kicked out of the "five major leagues". Serie A is on the wane. La Liga has been up and down and has been able to maintain a high standard for ten years The only league seems to be the Premier League. With this in mind, the English media began to report positively and optimistically on the Champions League semi-finals. They boast about Manchester United, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, but they forget about AC Milan entirely.

In the eyes of those proud English media, A. Narrower will not be able to stop Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Cristiano & 8226: Ronaldo. After all, "they have a Kaka, we have a Roonega and a Ronaldo!"

"A. Mulberry has flown to Manchester. Here they will challenge hosts Manchester United. It was the first leg of the Champions Cup semi-finals, and Kaka spoke about the opponent of this match when he was interviewed at the airport. He thinks Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are both great players and Manchester United are a strong team, but he is confident of reaching the final......

Earlier sports news was on the TV, and A. Mulley arrived in Manchester. Two days later, they will have a crucial game at this stadium.

As the number one star of the team. The heart of the midfield. Shine this season Brazilian midfielder Kaka has received everyone's attention. Countless microphones, flashes, and cameras surrounded him. It makes it seem difficult for him to even take a step forward.

"Kaka ......" in front of the TV Donn muttered that he was a Kaka fan before the crossing...... Since he has not landed in Europe yet, he is just a nobody who has made up the number of substitutes for the Brazilian national team. Just pay attention to this sunshine boy. He liked the kid's temperament, his technical style, his handsome appearance, his indomitable breakthrough speed, and his powerful long-range shots...... I really didn't expect to have the opportunity to become an opponent one day.

"Hey. Don, how nice it would be if Kaka could come to Forest...... That way we were in front of the midfield. Behind George is in the defence, Ashley & 8226: Young and Beckham on the right, Aaron & 8226: Ley, and Ribery and Petrov on the left...... It's invincible!" He said excitedly watching TV.

"Don't dream, this kind of person won't let go." Don was not in the slightest interested in such unrealistic fantasies.

Don was thinking if he had traveled a few years earlier. Then all this is not a dream......

What a pity. It still seems to be a dream now.

"Oh. By the way, patronizing the obscenity Kaka. Don pulled out a ticket from the inside pocket of his coat. Handed it to the side Don, "Tickets for Old Trafford on the twenty-fifth, you go with me." ”

Don didn't say anything. Take the ticket and put it away.

Don continued to turn his head to watch TV. The news has turned to Manchester United. Started reporting on Manchester United's preparations.

Ferguson on the screen had a solemn face, and the sky over Carrington's training base was cloudy. The army is overwhelmed.

There are three days left until the 26th semi-finals.

※※※

Don met Tang Jing at the Wilford training base in the morning. He and Don were preparing to enter the door. The security guard at the door looked at the woman standing in front of him - Tang Jing with a sad face.

It's obvious. Tang Jing wanted to go in. Security is because of their duties. Can't let her get her wish. So she spent it here with the security guards.

"Good morning. Reporter of Tang University. Don waved to her, good morning, Coach Donn." Tang Jing saw that Tang En and Tang were coming, so she left the poor security guard. Straight for the two of them.

"Trespassing is not right, reporter Tang University." Don teased the female reporter in front of him. Don stood behind him in silence.

"Do you have a 'Trespasser Kills' warning sign here?"

"If the Tang reporter likes it, I can immediately get the security guard to stand up and write in Chinese."

Tang Jing was angry with Tang En. She looked pleading at Don next to Don.

Don hesitated. "I think it's better to use Chinese and English." ”

Tang Jing rolled her eyes.

Don En laughed: "Don't waste your time. Reporter Tang Da, I will not let you media get the slightest news about the semi-final preparations. ”

"When did Mr. Donn, who likes to be in the limelight, also keep a low profile? Now the media is full of news and reports about the four teams preparing for the Champions League, but you are missing Nottingham Forest. ”

"So what? I'm not a clown who satisfies the audience's bad tastes. Don shrugged, "Something that involves you reporters, the result is not good." The Great War is current. I'm so sorry I had to err on the side of caution. ”

See the invalidity of the radical method. Tang Jing changed his strategy: "Look. Mr. Donn. I'm just a reporter for a Chinese media outlet thousands of miles away. Even if I know you guys train stuff. It's just that China's "" has arrived, and you don't have to worry about leaking secrets at all......"

"Don't be funny. Reporter Tang Da, now that we are in the Internet era, the news of all media in the world is that you turn me and I turn him. If you get it, someone else can get it. I wouldn't be so stupid. Again...... There's nothing to talk about, it's the same as you've seen before, we know each other very well with Chelsea, hehe. Don slyly laughed.

Tang Jing, who felt that she was being toyed with, was a little angry: "Then what are you still closed?"

"It's just to keep my ears clean." Don plucked out his ears. "At times like this, I wish I could use it for three days a day. How can you still have the leisure to deal with the news media?"

looked at Tang Jing with an unwilling expression. Don was about to turn around and leave. He paused again, "Don't hang around here. When the sun comes out, it's still a little tanned, beautiful Ladies don't have a tan on their skin, so go back. According to the usual practice, there is a press conference before the game, if you have any questions, ask the reporter of Tang University. ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Jing suddenly shook his head: "I don't have any doubts." Can I talk to Mr. Tang alone?"

Don looked at her. Tilted his head to look at Don again. "Why do you ask me, he is him, I am me, and I can't restrict his personal freedom. If he wants to talk to you. You can talk. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left first.

Tang Ke didn't expect Tang En to leave so simply, he wanted to refuse Tang Jing, to be honest, the two of them really have nothing to talk about together. But now that Don is gone, it makes it difficult for him.

Tang Jing smiled beside him and said, "Mr. Tang, can we talk?"

Helpless, Tang had no choice but to turn around and look at her: "What are you talking about?" If it's about the Forest ...... I can't tell you anything. ”

"Of course, I understand Mr. Tang. Work with those weird-tempered people. It's a headache, isn't it?"

Don shook his head. "Nope. We work together. ”

Tang Jing had a disbelieving expression. Tang didn't bother to explain how tacit understanding there was between them, even if he explained Tang Jing, he wouldn't believe it, you would believe that one person told you that you swapped bodies with another person. Love?

"Let's talk about something else. It has nothing to do with football, things ......," Tang Jing smiled at Tang Yanran. Gently brushed away a strand of hair blocking his forehead.

Chris Rac saw the players arrive at the training ground one after another, but never saw Don. This time. It was probably when the coaching staff met for a small preparation meeting for the new day's training, and he remembered that Don always came with Don. So he went to Donn's office to look for him.

As a result, he only saw Don in the office.

Hey? What about Don?"

!! Tang En didn't raise his head: "Fallen into the gentle township, right?"

Gentle Township? What's that?"

The devil knows.

"Uh......"

"David, today's training plan is to focus on set-piece tactics, right?" Don asked, looking up.

Chrislak nodded.

"Well, that's it, Don leave him alone for now. Let's go to the training ground, it's time for the players to be there. "Finished. Donn took the door and was confused Chris Rac went out the door and headed straight for the training ground.

Training base at the door, come to train the players are all Chilong watching their Chinese assistant coach chatting with a Chinese woman. The woman seemed to be in high spirits, but the teaching assistant seemed a little absent-minded.

"It's a nice day. Mr. Tang. ”

“……，，

"How many years have you been in Nottingham? Are you used to living in the UK? At first I hated the weather in this country ......"

Speaking of which. Are you wandering around alone at such a young age, do you want to live home?"

“……，，

"I was going to write a detailed report on your past. In the end, I found that you were a lackluster person before you became the coach of Nottingham Forest...... Ah, I'm sorry I used that word, anyway. It's just boring. I haven't been in love once from elementary school to college...... By the way, do you have a girlfriend now? Two separations? Or exotic love? Is she pretty?"

There are two days left until the 26th semifinals.

※※※

There will be no training session this morning. The players can get a good night's sleep at home and then assemble at Wilford in the afternoon before taking the club's red bus to London. Stay at the hotel there. Prepare for the semi-finals the next day.

Don and Don didn't go to London with the team. They said goodbye to the team on the training base. Just drive to Manchester alone.

There is still some time left until the evening game. The stadium at Old Trafford was already crowded with people wearing red Manchester United shirts and red and black A blue shirts Fans were clearly separated and separated by police. Neither the Italian fans nor the English fans have a good reputation, and it is not known how the players on both sides will perform in this game, but the Manchester police are already on the verge of being a big enemy.

The Tang belt is very complete, DV, digital camera, mini laptop, traditional handwriting notebook, binoculars, ...... He mainly brings first-hand enemy intelligence to the team.

Don put his hands in his pockets and wore sunglasses, like a tourist.

The two men were sandwiched between the crowd of fans and slowly squeezed towards the gate.

The surrounding Milan fans kept shouting all kinds of slogans, and Don basically couldn't understand it, and the word that appeared most frequently in the Hitomi cut was "Kaka", which is a slump in performance this season. The league title is doomed, the Champions Cup is the only trophy they can hope to compete for, and Kaka's strong explosion this season is a guarantee of confidence for these people.

In Shepchenko he went to England. Gilardino is in shaky form, Inzaghi is frequently injured, Oliveira is showing signs of grey goods, and the entire Milan forward line is in a goal drought. It was Kaka who stepped up and took on most of the goalscoring loads. In the Champions Cup, he almost single-handedly brought A-Squint to the semi-finals.

Regardless of the pre-season rumours that he was once close to Real Madrid. At this time, he has become the core of the ace in the hearts of Amilan fans, and he is the hope of all those people.

The banner with Kaka's head fluttering in front of Don's eyes, and he muttered the name.

Old trafford. Manchester United people think that the Theatre of Dreams is the best football stadium. In this stadium, in this season's Champions Cup. Manchester United once beat Roma 7-1, shocking the world of football. Now. What will be the result of facing an Italian team again?

Ninety minutes later.

It was a really good game, from a purely neutral fan point of view. That's right, Donn had a great time watching from the stands. Don worked a lot harder. He's also in charge of recording.

The score was exactly the same as Donne's memory, Manchester United narrowly beat A 2-2 at home to get a valuable home victory, but compared to this scoreline, the course of the game was not the same as Donn's memory...... The process of the game and the score did not satisfy the Manchester United fans, and it was the guests who left the place, AC Milan.

United quickly took a two-goal lead. It looks like the tide is stacking in their favour, and United fans are even looking forward to the final in Athens.

But it was at this time that Kaka, who was considered by the media and pundits before the game to be the biggest threat of Ajilan, stepped up and attacked beautifully twice. Two beautiful goals cooled down the frenzied atmosphere of the Theater of Dreams. After seeing Kaka receive a long pass from the back, he got rid of Fletcher, Evra, and Heindi in succession, and passed his entire defense line alone, and then scored the ball. Ferguson finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and rushed down from the dugout.

The backline has been terrible, although Leo~#8226: Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic are out through injury for a reason. But there's no need for your own backline to behave so badly......

He suddenly thought of the last round of the league, Leo ~#8226: Ferdinand suffered a minor injury in that game. He was replaced on the safe side, and it was the defence that was dashed by the Forest's attacking line-up, with Ruud van Nistelrooy and Franck Ribery scoring a goal each. In later training. Leo~#8226: Rio Ferdinand will miss this game after being found to have an injury against Forest......

Damn it! Ferguson cursed in his heart.

Seeing Manchester United concede two goals in an instant. Donn laughed happily in the stands.

In the second half of the game, she consciously contracted the defensive line. Two away goals and a draw were enough for Carlo Ancelotti but a definite defeat for United, who pounced on AC Milan like crazy until injury time before Wayne Rooney scored twice. Seal the win.

In this match, although AC Milan lost, we can say that they are the winners. It was Carlo Ancelotti who had the last laugh, not Manchester United, who had a smooth start.

"On this night of the Theater of Dreams. Both teams gave us a good game. The 3:2 score leaves a lot of thought to come. There will be plenty to watch in the second leg between the two sides. Kaka and Wayne Rooney both scored twice in this game, and the best of the two youngsters, who will be the key to the fate of their team?"

Donn stretched in the stands. but did not stand up. He was waiting for the other fans to leave.

"How's intelligence gathering?"

Don is transferring the image from the DV to a mini laptop. "Kaka is the key player."

"It's nonsense."

"Milan are a very troublesome opponent, Andrea Pirlo, Seedorf, Inzaghi...... However, their defence is also a big problem, just like Manchester United. As soon as he talked about football, Tang's conversation box opened, "Aging, slow turning, and over-reliance on veterans are all out of the sequelae." Dida is in a very inconsistent form and is a ticking time bomb at the back, and if we put enough pressure on their defence, we can find more holes, so ......" Don looked up at Don. "I'm not in favor of playing a defensive counterattack with A-Slim."

Don did not respond to his offer. He muttered as if he hadn't heard: "The giants of the world are having a headache with defense...... Let's go, Don. ”

Get up Donn looked back at the court. "It was a great tournament. The main character is about to appear. ”

The semi-finals on the 26th are less than a day away. Volume 4 Storm Chapter 71 killed them

While everyone was still talking about last night's game, the Nottingham Forest players were already working on their morning acclimatisation at Stamford Bridge.

Don didn't let the team do anything in the training session, and reporters from all walks of life gathered at Stamford Bridge. Hopefully see what the hell the Forest are doing behind closed doors these days.

They were disappointed by the results. Of course, Donn would not engage in any tactical drills in such a public setting, except for simple shooting exercises. It's about letting the players run laps.

Of course. They also don't completely lose hope. Training was followed by a pre-match press conference attended by both managers at the same time. At the meeting. Done and Mourinho will both be available to answer questions from reporters, and when the time comes, they will be able to throw out any questions they may have, leaving the two unruly managers unapproachable.

It's different from coming to Chelsea to play in the league. The Forest players had a little more solemn on their faces. They all know what kind of game it was going to be. What an important game for them, for the coach, for the team they play, for themselves.
