Originally, there would be a press conference when the Forest team went to the Inonu Stadium to warm up, which was the last press conference attended by the coaches of both sides before the evening game, and reporters could ask some questions about the recent situation of the two teams and the evening game.

All the British and Turkish media have prepared a huge number of questions waiting to bombard the two managers.

As a result, at the end, they didn't wait for the Forest team to come to the stadium to warm up. The press conference had to be held as scheduled, and only Besiktas head coach Etugrul was invited to meet the deadline. In the presence of Zagrem (ertugrul_saglam), a press conference was held, which was a one-man show for the Besiktas manager.

Zagrem is Chinese New Year's Eve, one year younger than Donn, and was recruited by Besiktas to replace former famous French star and former Fulham manager Jean Brown because of his previous outstanding results in leading Kayseri. Tigana. Zagrem is one of the best young coaches in Turkey and is considered the future successor of the Turkish national team coach Trim.

Donn didn't know much about the man, and he didn't know much about the managers of the Premier League other than some of the most basic information.

While Zagrem was being interviewed by numerous reporters at the stadium, Don was in his room making the final tactical decisions. He had completely forgotten that there was also a press conference.

So when he received Pierce. Bruce's phone call, the surprise wasn't faked.

"What? Press conference? Don looked up at Don and saw that Don was looking at him too. It seems that both of them have forgotten.

"Ah...... As for why the team didn't warm up...... I put them all to sleep, and they couldn't sleep freely...... Hey, are you questioning me on behalf of the Turks, Mr. Journalist? No? If not, then don't ask such boring questions. The truth is that we didn't go. I don't plan to train either, I think it's more important to rest now than to get used to the field...... Hey, are you going to have a press conference on the phone? ”

Bruce on the other end of the line laughed, "Mr. Donn, I think that's a good statement. I'm alone with a press conference. ”

"Don't you have any questions for the other manager?"

"Everyone else has asked for me...... None of the journalists from England were in a very high mood, and not many people raised their hands to ask questions, mainly Turkish reporters were asking questions. ”

"Huh, why? Don't they always think that press conferences are short? ”

"If you're here today, they're going to be very enthusiastic. Mr. Donn. Bruce continued to laugh.

"Oh, I'm sorry that I'm too busy to come for an interview. Don glanced at Don and saw that he was continuing to study tactics again. He also wanted to end the call early, so he asked, "Do you have any questions, Mr. Reporter?" ”

"Ah...... Uh, I think ......" Bruce on the other end of the line hesitated. "Forget it, the questions are all sharp questions, and I can't even ask sharp questions. There may be problems after the game is over...... Then I won't bother you with your work, Mr. Donne. ”

"Hey, thank you. Good bye. Donn heard Bruce say this. I couldn't help but laugh.

Bruce is right, the questions that can excite reporters must be sharp questions for managers, and most managers don't like to answer them. But Don is a little different from them. He will use this as an opportunity to molest reporters, and the result will be that both the molested and the molested are satisfied.

Seeing that Tang En hung up the phone, Tang said without raising his head: "I forgot that there was a press conference in the morning......"

"It's fine. Don waved his hand, "That kind of press conference, it's okay not to go." ”

"What did you say when you were asked this question before the game that night?"

Don spread his hands: "What do you say?" Let's just say I forgot. It's not a big deal, forget it, forget it. Can they still not let us play? Come on, come on, let's keep ......"

'I don't know why Forest didn't come to acclimatise or why their manager didn't come to this press conference. "Zagrem was furious by such an idiotic question as a journalist. "I'm not the manager of Nottingham Forest, these issues have nothing to do with me, and even if I want to satisfy you, I can't do anything about it. ”

At first, the press conference was normal, because Donn didn't come, and the reporters asked some questions related to Besiktas, such as the formation at night, a certain player didn't play. Do you have confidence in winning the game......

It was supposed to be the head coaches of both teams in attendance. So the length of the press conference is also set according to the share of both managers. Now there is only one head coach, and everyone is ready to ask questions very quickly. Then the press conference began to move in a direction that Zagrem did not want to see...... Everyone asked him a little bit about the Forest team and their manager, Tony Toni. Donn's question.

Something like "Do you know Tony. Donn: "How do you think the Forest team is strong", "How does it feel to play against the defending champions"...... These kinds of questions are acceptable. Although Zagrem was a little unhappy that reporters began to rush him to ask him questions about the Forest team, he remained polite and graceful in answering.

Until a British reporter stood up and asked: "Do you think the Forest team didn't come to get used to the field, and Tony. Donn didn't show up at the press conference, is it an insult to your team", he finally broke out.

"Insults? What is Insult? Do you think not attending this press conference is an insult to me and my Earth team? I think this question is too incomprehensible, what does it matter to me what other people do? I'm the head coach of Besiktas and if there are questions about Besiktas, I'm happy to answer them. But the question with Nottingham Forest and their manager, I refuse to answer. ”

After he said this with a straight face, the atmosphere at the scene was suddenly a little awkward.

Later, the British journalists fell silent, and only a few Turkish journalists came out with some impromptu questions. The British media apparently don't care how the Turkish team is, they are only here because of Tony. Donn and Nottingham Forest, since Tony. Donn and Nottingham Forest didn't come. Naturally, there is no need to ask questions.

The press conference ended in the cold. Besiktas' head coach Zagrem was already a little nervous at the moment of the tournament, and being so troubled by the British media made him feel even worse. If you're in a bad mood and need to vent, there's a good way to divert your anger.

The British media is British, and Nottingham Forest is the English team. Then let's vent our anger by beating Nottingham Forest, who have been in poor form lately, in the evening. In addition, although he vehemently refuted the "insulting statement" of the British journalist at a press conference. But in reality he does think that the collective absence of Donn and the Forest team is a big-name show and lacks basic respect for the opposition.

The British have always been so arrogant and rude, do they still think that now is the era of the empire when the colonies are all over the world and the rice flag is always flying in the sun?

It's ridiculous, this time it's our home stadium, what qualifications do you have to play big in front of the home team, British!

At lunchtime. Don ate slowly in the dining room, observing the spirits and faces of the players coming in and out. This time the result was much more satisfying than the one in the morning. After a morning of catch-up sleep, everyone was physically and mentally restored, as evidenced by Chrislak's loud chat with the coach at the same table.

Had lunch. After a simple lunch break, Don asked the team to go to the gym in the hotel to exercise their bodies, so as not to overrest and not be able to move at that time.

Just when the team was warming up in the gym. Don saw quite a few reporters in the hotel lobby. He knew that these people were unwilling to be reconciled to the press conference in the morning, and came here to interview him. But he didn't have the heart to argue with reporters right now, so he waved his hand at the reporters who poured in, signaling that he would not be interviewed.

"There's only one problem!" A reporter shouted. "Mr. Donn, there's only one problem!"

Don pouted: "Don't." You have a problem, he has a problem, everyone has only one problem, and it's game time. There is a simple interview before the game is a problem. Let's ask when the time comes. Of course, I won't be absent from the post-match press conference. ”

When he said this, the British journalists burst into laughter.

"My players need quiet spaces, so I don't want to be disturbed by the media. We ask for your cooperation and don't disturb the other guests staying at this hotel. He made a gesture of please and went upstairs himself.

As for whether the hotel will find security guards to drive away this group of uninvited guests, and whether it will take the requirements of the staying guests as its service purpose, he doesn't care.

Dinner was minimal. Eat as much as you want. You can't eat too much because of strenuous exercise for a while. Eating too much affects the state and play.

After a simple dinner, the team boarded the bus en masse and set off for the Inonu Stadium to prepare for the later game.

Gareth. Bell still didn't feel awake, sitting at the end of the bus, keeping his head down and silent, that is, not listening to music or chatting with the people next to him. Seems to be asleep again.

Eastwood touched him: "Don't sleep, little monkey, cheer up!" If you let the boss see it like this, the starter will be gone! "Donn had already announced the starting line-up for the evening's game before he set off. Bale's name is in the eleven – he was a starter for the Forest team in this game.

"Ah...... I feel like I'm jet lag right now......" Bell replied listlessly, straightening his back slightly.

"Don't sleep, the more you sleep, the more you want to sleep. You need a little stimulation......" Eastwood reached out to tickle Bell's giggling socket, but before he could put his hand on it, Bell burst out laughing, causing a carload of people to look back at the two of them.

"Uh......" Eastwood raised his hands and explained innocently next to the laughing Bale, "I didn't do anything......"

"Alright...... Don't laugh! When everyone turned back, Eastwood pushed Bale to calm him down.

Bell laughed with tears in his eyes, wiped his eyes, and then said in amazement, "Hey, I'm not sleepy!" ”

"Thank you for tickling me, Freddie. He thanked Eastwood sincerely.

The gypsy said angrily, "I didn't touch you!" ”

"Hey, hey. Bell scratched his head a little embarrassed. "I'm afraid of itching, so I ......"

Eastwood smirked evilly, and suddenly reached out to Bell. This time it still didn't happen, and Bell laughed out loud again. The people in the hot car turned around en masse.

Eastwood hurriedly raised his hands: "I really didn't do anything......"

Chris Rac turned back to Donn, who was sitting next to him, and said: "It looks like the players are in good spirits. ”

Don nodded, grinning, "Of course. But I hope they will have the same spirit after seeing the enthusiasm of the Turkish fans. Otherwise, it's not going to be easy for us to win. ”

He glanced in front of him, behind the layers of buildings. The roof of the Inonu Stadium, the home of Besiktas, looms.

The Inonu Stadium is the main stadium of the Turkish national team, and its status is similar to that of Wembley to England and the Bernabeu to Spain.

There are three stadiums in Istanbul that are known in Europe for their terrifying atmosphere: Ali in Galatasaray. Samiyan Stadium, Fenerbahce's Sukuru. Sarakoglu Stadium and the Inonu Stadium, home of Besiktas.

For Turkey's enemies, this is a place they will never want to set foot in a second time, and the frenetic atmosphere and suffocating atmosphere have impressed all the away players who have played here.

At this stadium, Beckham has unpleasant memories. When he was captain of the England national team, he once kicked away a penalty kick under the huge boos and interference of the home fans, and then the players from both sides could not wait to clash on the pitch. The clashes and riots continued until the end of the game, with players from both sides fighting in the dressing room passages, along with coaches and stadium security guards.

So...... Will this competition be a repeat of the past?

This is Nottingham Forest's first time playing in Turkey. It was also the first time that Donn came to Turkey to direct the competition. How much trouble the home fans are going to cause the team, Donn doesn't have any idea right now.

Escorted by police cars, the bus finally arrived at the Inonu Stadium, the venue of the competition. Outside, in the square, the Forest team has already seen the enthusiasm of the Turkish fans. They were after seeing the Forest's bus coming. They all raised their middle fingers to the Forest players in the car window to "salute", and shouted loudly the "universal language" - "**".

Compared to the arrogance of the Turkish fans, the Forest fans who came from afar were surrounded by the Turkish police, waiting for the entrance. This is called "protecting the personal safety of the visiting fans", but in fact, it is not to let the Forest fans cheer for their team, so that the Forest team can fully feel the pressure exerted by the home team fans.

Many players were attracted by the Turkish fans outside and turned their heads to look. See them turn their heads. The Turkish fans outside were even more cheerful, and even in the closed carriage, they could still hear the shouting and scolding outside.

The square was full of people, and it took ten minutes to reach the parking area after just 200 meters of driving in just 200 meters.

It's a little quieter, and there aren't many unrelated people other than the reporters. But as soon as you get out of the car, the noise of Turkish fans in the distance and inside the stadium is still clearly audible. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

In such an environment. The coaches urged the players to hurry to the locker room to change clothes and warm up. Tang En simply returned to a few questions outside, and hurriedly left.

The players were still discussing the "enthusiastic performance" of the Turkish fans as they changed their clothes. Apparently there are people who have been on the battlefield for a long time and don't care about this kind of thing. But some people still take it to heart......

Don didn't stop them from discussing this kind of topic, but Chrislak kept urging them to change their clothes and go out to warm up.

Soon, all of these people were gone, and Don was the only one in the dressing room, and unlike the other managers, he didn't go out with the team to warm up, he just stayed in the dressing room, and no one knew where he was doing anything, maybe to vent his nerves, maybe he just closed his eyes and recuperates, or he didn't do anything. Some media have speculated that if you put a candid camera in the locker room, you might get something very interesting.

But today, the main character is not Donn.

The players walked out of the corridor in groups, but they only stepped out of the door, and the deafening boos and frenzied hostility came to their faces, and the psychological quality almost stopped directly at the door.

The Inonu Stadium can only hold 20,000 people, but the noise made by the Turkish fans made the Forest players think they were facing 200,000 people. All the heartbeats involuntarily followed their boos and sped up in frequency.

On the front stand of Yongdaokou, there is a huge banner, which is blamed under the stands. On the white background cloth, there is red English, and the undried paint slides down from top to bottom because of the banner hanging, pulling out red traces on the cloth, as if dripping with blood, with the content of this slogan, it is really shocking.

The white banner read, in red paint:

ee_to_hell。

Welcome to Hell.
