After this European Championship, Donn has once again confirmed one thing - in addition to being suitable as a manager, there is also a job that suits him well.

Guest commentator on football matches.

When Tang En was just an ordinary Chinese football fan, every time he watched the TV station broadcast a game, he listened to the commentaries and commentators who had no professional knowledge or professional attitude, and who brought in casual cameos from other industries to make guest appearances, and felt that what these people said was not as good as what they said. However, at that time, he couldn't change anything except a slander in his heart. As long as he watches the game, he still has to endure such inferior commentary and comments again and again, unless the TV sound is turned off, but he can't hear the shouts from the scene, what's the point of watching the live broadcast of the game?

Well, now he doesn't have to put up with that noise anymore, because ...... He can make his own noise!

During the European Championship, a spectator called Tony. Donn's style of commentary protests, arguing that his vitriolic style of language is a noise to himself.

When Don was a fan, he didn't think that after he actually became a commentator, some people would think that what he said was rubbish.

But now he doesn't have to worry about the opinions of those viewers. John. Mortenson revealed to him that the BBC hierarchy was happy to see a "celebrity" like Donn spray on live TV every game, because it attracted enough eyeballs, created enough topics, and earned enough advertising money...... Donn's comments are always spicy, so spicy that Mortenson sometimes can't take them. He can be merciless in criticizing the star players and coaches during the live broadcast of the game, that is ...... It's completely vicious. If the subject of his comment hears him say this in person, he will definitely pounce on him without hesitation and beat him to the ground.

Someone hates it, and naturally someone likes it. Some people are very, very fond of listening to Donne's commentary. They even left a message on the BBC website saying that if the BBC dared to change people, they would call and disturb them every day until the BBC replaced them.

It's not necessarily that Donn's commentary is more profound and unique than other experts, but the point is that his linguistic talent allows him to tell a game about a good story, and he is very good at catching interesting scenes in a game, and always makes people find something to entertain. Some say that Donn turned a football game into a live talk show, and that's a fitting metaphor.

The BBC seized the opportunity to sign Donn on a long-term contract during the European Championships. In the contract, BBC-5 hired Tony. Donn is a guest commentator on TV, and when the England national team has a game, he will temporarily put aside his role as Nottingham Forest manager and become a TV commentator. The contractual relationship between the two parties will continue until the end of the 2010 World Cup, which will be renewed as appropriate.

In addition to advertising and endorsing Armani, this is another income for Don outside of his job, which is not as good as Armani's advertising endorsement fee, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. Not only can you do the job you like, but also make money, such a good thing, it's hard to find it with a lantern.

Returning to the European Championship itself, this cup made Donn sigh again and again that football is round, and everything is possible on the football field.

Italy and the Netherlands' strong start led to an early exit; Russian football has shown signs of returning to its original glory, having just beaten the Netherlands and then lost to Spain; The German tank was as steady as ever but lost without passion, and poor Ballack became the 'King of Sanya' again after 2002 (Chelsea lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the English League Cup final and finished runners-up); In the end, Spain deserved to win the championship, and there was no surprise at all. Because throughout the Cup, the only team that has not made any mistakes, has been consistent in performance, and is very balanced in both defense and attack is Spain. If such a team doesn't win the championship, there will be no heavenly reason. Casillas continued his excellent form at Real Madrid, while Villa, despite being unhappy at Valencia, took all their frustration out on the European Championships. Winning all six battles, Spain reigned in Europe for the first time in 44 years.

Although Italy went out early, Donn was happy that Grosso's performance in the national team was much better than his performance in the Forest team, and it looked like his value was going to fall, because this European Championship has a bullish trend. Even during his commentary on the European Championships, clubs in France and Italy had already asked Nottingham Forest about whether Grosso could be sold.

Grosso was just a small surprise, and the biggest surprise came from Russia's core player Arshavin. He did not play in the first two games of the group stage of the European Championship due to a red card in the last game of the European Championship qualifiers, and Russia's results were not ideal. Especially the 4-0 defeat to Spain, which showed nothing to hope for in this team. Donn, who was in charge of commenting on the game, could only shake his head as he watched Akinfeev pick up the ball from the net again and again. The game made Nottingham Forest's No.2 goalkeeper almost lose face, and the responsibility for conceding the goal as soon as possible was not on him, but all eyes will be on the unlucky position of the goalkeeper.

Next, Russia narrowly defeated Greece 1-0 in the second round of the group stage, finally retaining the hope of qualifying from the group and leaving the seeds for Arshavin's comeback.

Arshavin made a comeback in the third game of the group stage, leading Russia to a clean 2-0 victory over the Nordic powerhouse Sweden. Russia's performance in this game was nothing short of earth-shaking compared to their heavy defeat to Spain in the first game. The lineup is almost the same, only because of the addition of Arshavin, Russia's attack is more threatening, and the ability to move forward is stronger.

After entering the knockout round, the 3-1 elimination of the Netherlands was almost a one-man performance for Arshavin, and the Dutch Army, which dominated the group stage, was helpless in the face of the small man Arshavin. The defenders couldn't keep Arshavin off on either flank, and his pace and skill meant the Dutchman had to let him go unless he fouled him.

The game had Donn raised his eyebrows, and the performance of his players was a testament to his vision of bringing in Arshavin a year ago.

The match was dubbed the "Nottingham Forest Derby" by the local Nottingham media, with the Russian duo and the Dutch all appearing in the starting line-up. In addition to the outstanding performances of Arshavin and Akinfeev, Van Nistelrooy also received an assist from Van der Vaart in the game and scored the equaliser in the final moments, dragging the suspense of the game into extra-time. Only poor Edwin van der Sar fell victim to the fact that he picked up the ball from the goal on three occasions and conceded two goals in extra-time in particular to completely crush the Dutchman's fighting spirit.

Regardless of who emerges victorious, this game made Donn happy because it proved to the world that Nottingham Forest's players are the best and that this season's Double is definitely not a matter of shit.

Our players have that quality!

※※※ Here Don is pointing out the country in BBC-5, and the work of Don and Chris Rac over there has also come to fruition. Don and his team of scouts eventually put together a squad of 30 players, not just by name, but with the most detailed information about each player, and even a video of his game at the tournament.

Don doesn't need to do any other work, just look at this report and get a full picture of all the information about these players and their performances at the European Championships.

Among them, Benzema may be the most famous player recently. Don was also optimistic about the French centre-forward's abilities, but he was first ruled out of Donne's selection list. It's not that he doesn't look down on his quality, but for a very simple reason - he is a Lyon player. Lyon's owners are notoriously miserly in European football, and they are best at selling their players for high prices. Now that the big clubs all over Europe are watching Benzema, Aulas will not accept an offer of less than 50 million euros in this regard. And what Nottingham Forest lack most at the moment is precisely money...... There is also Huntelaar who has a reason with him, and Don will not consider it. In addition, Donn feels that the team's current configuration of four forwards is very reasonable, and he can't think of any need to add new forwards. Even if they do, it's just to bring in very young strikers and put them in the youth team for training, or go out on loan for training. The first team does not need to bring in any strikers at the moment.

In fact, the position of Nottingham Forest to introduce new players in the new season is mainly in the second half. If he can find the right person in the midfield position, Don will not ignore it. Sidwell's agent had already called Donn during the European Championship to ask the club to agree to Sidwell's new owner. After some false retention, Don agreed in principle to Sidwell's change of court, but the price had to satisfy him.

If Sidwell leaves, then give George . The question of Wood's search for a replacement will be brought back to the table.

Sun Jihai is indeed a panacea, but he is too old, his state is declining very quickly, he may barely be able to play fullback, and Tang En is not at ease with such an important position in the back that is handed over to him.

For a number of well-known reasons, George. Wood's replacements are very hard to find. However, Donn is already thinking about a solution - next season's goal is still to fight on multiple fronts, and this time, Donn intends to try to touch the FA Cup, which he has never won, which means that Nottingham Forest will face a tough situation on three fronts from January next year. That rotation system is even more indispensable, and this time Don plans to put Wood in the rotation system as well. After all, it is very dangerous to put such an important position as the back on Wood's shoulders alone. What if Wood is suspended? If there is a good midfielder who can share this pressure, Don will be much more comfortable in the face of multi-front battles.

Donn wants to let the team try to make a move for the Spaniard de la Red. He is optimistic about De LaRed's ability to control the offensive tempo and can be used against George. Wood forms a beneficial complement. In this European Championship, De La Rede cleverly seized his opportunity, scoring a key goal in his first game for the Spanish national team, and his performance was remarkable. Of course, De La Reid is just an option, and if you want to be a little more defensive, there is also a midfielder who is "tied to the same goal" as him - Xavi. Garcia.

One of the two Real Madrid outcasts could move to Nottingham Forest in the summer – just a possibility, mind you. Whether Real Madrid and Getafe are willing to let go of Donn is completely uncertain. Real Madrid are not blind either, and the excellent performances of these two young players last season are well known.

There is also a midfielder who has excelled at the European Championships to consider. That is the Swiss 24-year-old international who plays for Udinese, Inle, who has a strong sense of the big picture, delicate skills, and his defensive strength. Wood's location. And he didn't suddenly become famous at one European Cup, Don don't have to worry that he's just a shooting star. Because the authoritative Italian media "Milan Sports Newspaper" once selected Inler as "the most cost-effective summer reinforcement in Serie A".

Chiellini's tackle on Cannavaro turned out to be an opportunity to make the difference, and his performance at the European Championship was arguably the biggest discovery of the tournament for the Italian national team. But...... Given Grosso's example, Donn is no longer in agreement with the Italian and will not consider bringing in Giorgio Chiellini, although the Italian can play at centre-back and left-back.

Right-back Zimbonda will definitely go, and even if he doesn't want to, Donn will make it clear that the black Frenchman is not in his plans. Then relying on Raphinha and Sun Jihai, who is in great decline, is obviously not enough to meet the team's requirements in the right-back position when fighting on multiple fronts. The search for a good right-back is imminent.

Donn already has a target in mind – the Portuguese national team, as well as Porto's main right-back Bosingwa. Of course, in the war for Bosingwa, Nottingham Forest will face tough rivals Chelsea and Manchester United. For this reason, Donn even did not hesitate to use his entire transfer budget this summer to acquire Bosingwa. Without the addition of right-backs, Nottingham Forest's right side will be planted with a ticking time bomb that will explode at an unknown moment.

At left-back, Togroso's poor performance was blessed, and Don reacquainted himself with Leighton. Barnes, in his opinion, is still very useful in a purely defensive task, and he doesn't need to be purged out of the team so quickly. So the club intends to offer Barnes a new contract extension until 2011.

At centre-back, Nottingham Forest are full of talent and don't need to make any reinforcements.

Pepe has been consistent with the Portuguese national team, and his goal after a long run in the first game was impressive, and he will definitely not let it go.

Pique's selection for the Spanish national team just didn't get a chance to play, but witnessing a major tournament and winning a title has only done him good and not bad. The only trouble is...... It is said that Barcelona intend to focus on revamping their backline and learning from their arch-rivals Real Madrid after two seasons of pain. And their target is Gerard, who has Barcelona blood – and is very pure – . Pique. Don wouldn't have agreed to Pique's departure, but ...... Donn is a little worried about Pique's own thoughts, after all, he came from La Masia, and it's hard to say if he still feels that playing for Barcelona is the only goal of his career...... Kompany was a substitute for Pepe or Piqui at Forest, but he has improved significantly and has the talent to play as a backfielder, and Donn also values the youngster. In case of...... Even if Pique insists on answering Barcelona's call, Don shouldn't worry too much because he still has Kompany.

As for Ayala, his experience is still what the team needs most...... Of course, if there is a team interested in him and want to pay for him, Donn will not force him to stay, after all, Ayala can contribute to the Forest team There are not many opportunities.

As for Wes. A player like Mogan doesn't need to be given too many opportunities to play, and it is enough to make an appearance once in a while. His main task is not to help the team achieve victory on the pitch, but to maintain balance in the dressing room, to guarantee the purity of the Nottingham Forest bloodline, and...... Help teams successfully register for Champions Cup qualification before each season.

Basically, this is the program that Donn brought in this summer, and basically all kinds of transfer activities in and out will be based on this plan. Maintaining the main framework of the team, tinkering and adjusting in some small details, not only ensures the tacit understanding of the team, but also adds fresh blood and strengthens the strength.

The new season of Nottingham Forest will be worth looking forward to......
