Nottingham City, Wilford District, Forest Bar.

All the beer in the glass was spilled into the sky, and everyone raised their arms and clenched their fists and roared loudly. The sound on the television was drowned out by their roars, but no one wanted to hear the narrator clearly.

"Even though it's just a draw, from the point of view of the process, this point for the Forest team is as precious as three points! They drew away from Manchester United, which was not easy for a promoted team! George? Wood is undoubtedly the hero and protagonist of this evening! This ball is perfect both in terms of process and result! ”

※※※Manchester City, Old Trafford.

George? Wood stood where he was shooting, didn't run with open arms, didn't take off his jersey and threw it into the air, he didn't even make a punch. He stood there, turning to watch his excited teammates rushing towards him.

He's never been past the ball in a game and doesn't know how to celebrate after a goal, so should I yell and curse to vent my feelings at the moment?

"Well done!" Ashley? Yang rushed up, hugged him violently, and shouted in his ear, "Well done!" ”

Then more teammates rushed in to surround him, even goalkeeper Darren? Ward came rushing from the back, and the Forest players, who had just looked exhausted, were as energetic as if they had just come on.

Donn fell to one knee and slammed into the turf. Excited, Chrislak picked him up, "He did it!" He really did it! ”

There was a hug on the pitch and on the Forest bench, and the referee looked down at his watch and blew three whistles to mean the end of the game.

Manchester United continued their 'bad luck' of the season by giving Nottingham Forest an equaliser in the final dozen seconds at home.

Forest were the winners of a draw, celebrating Wood's late goal.

Looking at his players, Donn shook his fist and remembered that there was one more important thing to go. He turned and walked between the two dugouts, Manchester United manager Alex? Sir Alex Ferguson was waiting for him there.

"It was a good game." Despite the loss, Ferguson kept a smile on his face. It was not easy to get my expression back to normal in such a short period of time. "Your team is great, Mr. Donn."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sir Alex Ferguson." Don is not as bitter as before, after all, for him, a draw is a victory, and there is no need to get cheap and behave.

Ferguson nodded and took his leave. As soon as he turned around, the smile on the old Scottish man's face disappeared. Summer's question now has a clear answer in his mind.

――Are they a threat to us?

- Yes, they have threatened us.

Watching Ferguson leave, Donn stood on the sidelines, looking back at the players who were still celebrating. He saw George in the crowd? Wood, looking at his stunned look, a smile appeared on Donn's face.

He believes that if Wood is allowed to shoot the exact same shot now, there is a 99 percent chance that he will not go in.

In fact, it doesn't matter how the ball was scored, what matters is the result. Wood made a real superman, a hero, a the_one.

This game will probably be forgotten for him for a long time.

Well done, boy. Keep playing like this, your future is bright...... ※※※ Wood managed to break free from the embrace of his teammates, and everyone walked down the players' corridor and back to the dressing room. Wood was about to leave the field when he ran into Roy on the sidelines? Keane.

Clearly, the captain of Manchester United was waiting for him.

Seeing Wood coming over, Keane took off his jersey and handed it to Wood: "You did a good job, boy. ”

It was the first time Wood had encountered a situation where someone had offered to exchange jerseys with him, and he was a little overwhelmed. happened to be seen by Donn, and the communication between the players was nothing to do with the coach, but he still walked up and reminded Wood: "What are you doing in a daze?" Swap jerseys! ”

Wood heard Donn's voice and looked back at him. Don winked at him.

So Wood bowed his head and took off his shirt and changed Keane's No.16 shirt for Manchester United.

Keane felt that Wood's clothes were completely soaked with sweat, wet and heavy. This kid really didn't hesitate to run...... He thought about the last goal, and only a jersey like this deserves that kind of goal.

It was a chance to run out after 90 minutes.

In this young man, he saw the shadow of his former name. Wearing a Nottingham Forest shirt, he showed up at Anfield Stadium to play against the strongest team of the time and began his professional career.

Looking at Wood, he nodded, "We'll fight each other more often in the future, don't let me down, boy." "With that said, Roy? Keane turned and walked towards the corridor.

Wood didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say. Don patted him on the shoulder, "How are you feeling, George?" ”

Wood looked at Donn and said, "Good. ”

"You're not modest......"

"What's that?"

"No, nothing. That's good. Donn smiled, "Do you know who the person you swapped jerseys with?" ”

Wood nodded.

"It's not easy to get his appreciation and recognition...... Go ahead, go back to the locker room. Donn pointed to the left side of the road, which led to the visiting dressing room. Continue straight onto the press room, where Donn is headed.

"Also, George. That's when you should laugh. Don pointed to Wood's face as he left. You're doing a great job, so why don't you smile? Don grinned.

Wood grinned as well, and finally laughed...... Instead of saying he's laughing, he's imitating Tony? Donn's expression.

Don smiled even more happily when he saw Wood's strange smile.

"Remember, George. Don't be discouraged when you lose, and enjoy yourself when you win. Go ahead, we'll be back to Nottingham early tomorrow morning and enjoy the evening! ”

Patting Wood on the shoulder, Don walked straight to the press room.

At the post-match press conference, Donn opened his mouth to make the reporters laugh.

"Football is like life, it's really ups and downs!" He shrugged and smiled, "I'm very happy with the performance of the players, even though it was just a draw, I can't ask them to do more. It was perfect, United didn't lose at home and we didn't come home empty-handed. ”

Ferguson looked at Donn.

"I'm happy with the result, even more happy with George? Wood's performance. I think...... The reporters who were full of hyping up the internal contradictions of the Forest team in the days before the game, are they stupid now? After praising the team and talking about the game, Don changed his words, and his fighting style came again. Whoever thinks I have no reason to favor Wood, who else can say that I trust without reason after watching this game? ”

The reporters stopped laughing and were silent.

Looking at them, Donn laughed again: "So I said I'm very happy with the performance of my players in this game, very, very satisfied. ”

After saying this, Don stopped talking, leaned back in his chair and listened quietly to Ferguson's speech, with a relaxed smile on his face.

The thrill of revenge on the media was strong, and he was really afraid that he would laugh out loud when he continued to speak. If it hadn't been for Wood's last goal, he might have been in a different mood now. Journalists will be questioning him for his failures. As long as you lose, it doesn't matter how hard you try. The media has always been good at telling what seems normal to be the end of the world.

There was nothing special about Ferguson's speech, the two sides went back and forth before the game, and the needle was pointed at Maimang, but now his tone is much more relaxed. There was no sarcasm in Sarcasm's scolding, and Ferguson praised the Forest's performance in the game, and then focused on George? Wood's spirit of never giving up, and then tactfully criticized the performance of the Manchester United team, and did not name names, but said that someone did not think about the team in his heart, who he was referring to, I believe that as long as the people who watched the game know.

Now all the attention of the media has shifted to the infighting in Manchester United...... Is Ferguson criticising Cristiano? Ronaldo, Don glanced at him. The red light on the old man's face was even worse, and it was estimated that he had been blowing a lot of wind when he was in the locker room just now.

He sat there and thought about it, Cristiano? Ronaldo was temporarily expelled from Manchester United by Alex Ferguson and returned to Portugal to recuperate in mid-December 2004, and it is now November 28, which seems to be a few days away.
