When Tony. Donn and Carl. By the time Spike's war of words was over, the national team game had come to an end. The players are returning to their respective clubs to prepare for league and cup competitions.

On September 15, Nottingham Forest will travel to Manchester to challenge Manchester City.

On September 17, they returned to their home stadium to play the Champions Cup, against the Soviet Super League powerhouse Celtic.

The league with Manchester City is very eye-catching because of the feud between the two teams for more than two years.

Bendtner is now Manchester City's leading striker, and he is in the main position of the thunderbolt, and he is thriving in Manchester. Although the team's results have not improved, he has personally benefited from that transfer. The UAE owner can fire a coach, but not a striker who can score goals for no reason.

Ashley. Young has also mixed quite well at Manchester City, and is basically a mainstay on the wing, and despite leaving Forest, he still has the best assists per season. It can be described as an exemplary figure of "gold shines everywhere". The Manchester media once satirized Tony. Donn: "Such a good player said he would sell it, he really thought he was the king of Nottingham Forest? This paranoia! ”

The good performances of these players stand in stark contrast to Nottingham Forest's slump in results over the past two seasons. In Tony. In the season when Donn was recuperating for half a year due to a heart attack, some media "escaped" Bendtner and Ashley from hell at Nottingham Forest in time. Yang said he was glad.

But the feng shui took turns, and after those two seasons, Nottingham Forest was back in contention for the title. This time against Manchester City again, even if it's away, Toney. Don wasn't willing to lose, either.

Before the game, personal feuds about him and Bendtner were brought back to the table. Don felt that these media were very boring, what was the need to talk about these rotten sesame things again and again?

In his pre-match interview, Bendtner said: "Every time I play a team in red, I get the best of it. ”

Some people analyzed that he was currying favor with Manchester City fans, because Manchester United is in red. But in fact, more people believe that he is referring to Nottingham Forest. After all, he has already secured the position of the main striker in Manchester City, and if he wants to please the fans, he has just joined, so why should he show his loyalty at this time?

Don responded by silence. He felt that he couldn't afford to talk to a traitor who had left, that would be too shameful. Let's use the actual results of the game as a weapon to fight back.

It was his general, Gareth. Bale jumped out unhappily to hit back at Bendtner: "He should have figured out where he would be if he didn't have Nottingham Forest. Maybe playing as a substitute at Arsenal and then always clamoring for a move if you don't get a chance to play. ”

The irony is so profound, quite Tony. Donne's demeanor. Bell has followed Don for so many years, and he is good at talking kung fu, and he is no longer the one who followed Ashley at the beginning. Yang will be nervous when he goes to visit the kilns in the Netherlands.

George. Wood was not involved in the war of words between the two teams. He's busy talking to the club about a new contract.

After the AC Milan rebellion, Tony. Done recognises the need to negotiate a new contract with Wood to give the team and fans a sense of confidence at this time.

So he put Billy the last thing he wanted to face. Woolks tossed it to Alan. Adams, let the two foxes talk about a contract extension.

Allegedly, if the new contract is successfully signed, George. Wood will be with Nottingham Forest until 2015, when he will be 29 years old, and his retirement from the Forest team is just another new contract.

And this contract will also greatly enhance George. Wood's treatment in the team cemented his current position as the team's highest-paid man. Whether it's Allen this time. Adams is still Tony. Don is not going to skimp on his salary. What to say, George. Wood is also the main member of the fourth place in the World Cup, after the World Cup, his reputation is not what it used to be, if you don't spend money, how can you let Wood stay here, and how to reflect the extraordinary and unique value of this captain?

There is insider information that he will get a high contract with a salary of 130,000 pounds a week, which can be compared with Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Cristiano. Ronaldo, Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and other world-class stars are on par.

And his original goal of entering professional football has also been achieved - a weekly salary of 120,000, and the current contract is 10,000 more than his ideal.

There is no one in the Nottingham Forest squad against George. Wood disagrees with this contract. Everybody knows what Wood means to this team, and as the captain, the heart of the midfield, the bannerman, he deserves a contract that far exceeds the salary level of the rest of the team.

And everyone else knows it in their hearts. If you want to emulate George. If Wood were to sign a contract of this calibre, he might have put him up for sale after careful consideration......

George. Wood's contract extension talks have been in full swing since the AC Milan incident, Allen. Adams and Billy. The two foxes haggled for several rounds before finally finalizing the last word and punctuation on the contract.

Then in the first two days of the match against Manchester City, Nottingham Forest officially announced:

Nottingham Forest's captain George. Wood, after clearing up rumours that he is having an affair with AC Milan, has proudly signed his name on a new five-year contract this morning. He will remain with Nottingham Forest until 30 June 2015.

Followed by Wood and Tony. Don attended the press conference for his contract extension.

At the meeting, Wood expressed his loyalty to all Nottingham Forest fans very seriously: "I will play at Nottingham Forest until I retire, even if she is unfortunately relegated. ”

Don tapped him next to him, "Don't say anything unlucky, George. How is it possible for a forest to be downgraded? ”

The intimate behavior of the two caused the reporters present to laugh. The performance also shattered any rumors that Wood and Don were at odds.

Afterwards, Pierce. Commenting on the contract extension, Bruce wrote: "After a half-month wait, all Nottingham Forest fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief and get a good night's sleep – they don't have to worry about waking up to the newspapers only to find out that their captain has gone to faraway Italy. George. Wood promised he would play here until he retired, and he expressed his love for the team. The story of summer has become a farce, and we have reason to hope for George. The day Wood retired with Forest! ”

Donne's choice to announce the club's successful contract extension with Wood ahead of the Manchester City game was also deliberate.

He wants to send a message to all opponents, including Manchester City – Nottingham Forest are still united and the oppositionists don't want to take advantage of the situation. The renewal of the contract with the team until 2015 can greatly boost the morale and confidence of the team. No one will be bothered by gossip-hungry reporters after training, and all is on their minds about how to win the game.

Of course, Donn hasn't forgotten to continue the psychological warfare offensive that he does best — not against the little Bendtner, but against the team's head coach Kevin. Keegan:

"I'm really, really sympathetic to him. I used to think that being a manager of England football was the hardest thing to do. Now I realise my mistake – the manager of Manchester City is! Look at his predecessor, Mark. What was the first thing Hughes said after class? 'I can finally get a good night'! It's pathetic...... As a manager at Manchester City, I can't even sleep well. Actually, Kevin wanted to leave that place for a long time, right? He is now tug-of-war with Manchester City, and the rope that is being pulled back and forth is the Manchester City team...... Ah, who is the most pitiful person? I bet it's not Kevin. Keegan, who should I sympathize with? ”

Manchester City had a poor season last season, and at the start of the new season, they suffered another defeat in the Toto Cup and lost their qualification to play in European competitions this season. The empty-handed result is simply unforgivable for the Manchester City owner, who has invested at least $300 million in the transfer market over a two-year period.

With such results, if you change to any other team, the club will not hesitate to open the head coach. Or some managers themselves can't bear the pressure and resign voluntarily.

But at Manchester City, the situation is very special.

Keegan's refusal to resign has a lot to do with the contract City signed with him in the first place. Mark. After Hughes left, Kevin. Keegan made a high-profile return to Manchester City, and the club valued his prestige and coaching ability in English football, and offered him a valuable contract - an annual salary of £3.8 million! is already almost on an equal footing with Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, the two legendary managers of the Premier League.

The contract has been signed for four years, and now only a year has passed. If the club has to fire Keegan...... Very well, the remaining three years of 11.4 million pounds of salary will be compensated first.

Anyway, Keegan has a good temper and a good mentality, so he won't suddenly have a heart attack due to stress like some idiot and pass out on the sidelines......

So he just mixed in this position as a matter of course. When Manchester City FC can grit his teeth and pay the salary of more than 10 million pounds at once, he will leave immediately.

Keegan had this kind of calculation in his heart, how could others not know? However, everyone is an insider, and this kind of face-hurting words are basically not mentioned, as the saying goes, "hitting people doesn't slap their faces".

Tony. Don doesn't care. With a big mouth, everything that can be said and can't be said is like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and all the brains are squirting out......

So Kevin, who heard his words. Keegan's face immediately darkened.

A manager's loyalty to a team has a direct impact on the team's morale and morale, as well as performance. Tony. It's not that Don doesn't understand this truth, so he must have deliberately shouted about this kind of thing.

Anyone who is a coach knows that don't think too much of a professional player. As a coach, if you want to manage these players in the same way as adults, you will have a lot of headaches, and in the end you will find that it is still a paternalistic way of managing them, and it is most appropriate to discipline them as children.

Players often have a blind trust in the manager, and they are willing to believe the gestures and expressions that the manager usually makes, without considering whether such statements and practices are reasonable.

Kevin. Although Keegan's results are a mess, he relies on his good old man-style management style and popularity, although he has a bad relationship with the top, his prestige within the team is quite high. Large and small groups of players listened to him. Every time there is a media report that the club's top management is unhappy with Kevin. When Keegan was on the news, there were even players who came out in defence of their manager, saying that the club should be patient with a good manager. Keegan has long proven his quality in his previous coaching experience and all he needs now is time. A club that always changes managers frequently will not solve any problems......

Co-opting the dressing room is the most effective way for Keegan to compete with the club's hierarchy.

Now Donn's words are clearly intended to divide the cohesion between him and the players. This trick can not be described as evil......

To put it more viciously, scold Tony. Don is despicable, shameless, and shameless, and not excessive.

As a peer, how can there be such a bad job for others?

But Donn didn't think so. He and Keegan are not relatives, nor are they friends, and Keegan's life or death is none of his business? For the sake of my victory, what is it to expose other people's scars? He didn't have any psychological burden at all.

As soon as these words were said, they really set off a wave in the media. Kevin. Keegan had to stand up and refute the rumors, saying that his stay at the club had nothing to do with the salary or anything, just because he loved Manchester City and wanted to lead the team out of trouble......

A reporter asked very unfamiliarly: "If your grades continue to decline, will you consider voluntarily resigning?" ”

Keegan frowned and thought about it for a moment, "I never think about things that haven't happened yet. I'm a firm believer in the future of the team, things haven't gotten that bad. ”

In the end, he did not say that he would resign voluntarily.

Donn's words made Keegan very embarrassed, Kevin. Keegan was on fire. Cal. Spike joked on the show, "I dare to fight Tony this time." Don made a bet that if Keegan appeared in front of him now, he would be beaten up! ”

They soon met.

※※※

In the fourth round of the league, Nottingham Forest challenged Manchester City away. Kevin. Keegan didn't have to beat Don in private, he now had a chance to beat Don in the open. In an interview before the game, he even repeated this sentence in a bit of a gaffe: "We will definitely win!" Certain! ”

Donn's response to this was calm, and he only said, "He's crazy." ”

What was the result of the competition?

Kevin, who is overwhelmed by Donn's psychological warfare. Keegan had no time to figure out how to deal with the Foresters, and the impact of Donn's words on Manchester City was like throwing a pebble into an otherwise calm lake – maybe not big enough, but the ripples and changes were already happening and spreading.

There were doubts within the team about their manager, and their performance in the game was a bit unfocused.

Tony. Donne's side seized the opportunity to chase Manchester City away from home. Bendtner tried hard to change that result with his own goals, but he was isolated and overly selfish with the split defence of the Forest defenders – he rarely passed the ball as long as it was at his feet.

Done seized Bendtner's eagerness for revenge to strip him from the entire Manchester City attacking system, and Bendtner's individual ability, which was too impatient and unbalanced, was simply not enough for the Forest backline.

As for Ashley. Poplar? He was the unluckiest ...... On the last day of training before the game, I sprained my ankle due to too much excitement, and I didn't even make the squad for this game.

In the end, Nottingham Forest beat Manchester City 2-0 away from home. Ibisevic was not named in the starting line-up for this game, and Donne, after confirming his return to form, gave the opportunity to other strikers who had sacrificed their starting places for him in previous games, such as Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Ruud van Nissterooy did not score in the game, but he did assist the team's second goal. His goal tally has declined as he has gotten older and more injured, but his all-round surname is unmatched by any of the Forest's strikers. With him, Nottingham Forest will have plenty of options once they get to the top 30 metres.

The two goals were scored by Shaheen and Kic, who replaced Eastwood in the second half. Donn used this aerial lord to blast Richards' defense, smashed the ball into the net in the air, and the always strong Richards was also knocked to the side. It looked like a really exciting goal!

At the post-game press conference, a reporter asked about the two coaches' pre-game war of words, and Donn made Kevin laugh. Keegan really wanted to look like Carl. Spike pounces on the bastard as he says and punches the bastard.

He said: "I feel like I've helped Keegan and Manchester City solve a common problem. ”

Two days later, Manchester City FC announced, and Kevin. Keegan was terminated from his contract and paid Keegan £11.4 million in wages for three years.

"We thank Kevin for the work he has done for the team over the past season and wish him the best of luck." Farewell to Keegan was such a simple sentence. After losing such a large amount of money, Manchester City FC didn't want to show any "warmth" and "favor", and drove Keegan out of the gate of Manchester City Stadium like a plague god.

Tony. Donn never tells a lie, and he did help Keegan and Manchester City solve their shared problems.

Someone counted it, and this was already after the game against Nottingham Forest, because of Tony. Don was the third head coach to step down.

The first unlucky guy was Real Madrid coach Brazilian Luxemburg, who voluntarily resigned the day after the game because he lost to the then little-known Nottingham Forest at the Bernabeu; The second unfortunate man was Jose Mourinho, who resigned due to a draw away from Nottingham Forest, continued to slump results, and a conflict with club president Roman Abramovich; The third is today's Manchester City manager Kevin. Keegan up.

But if you count Corymore, who was disgraced by leaving the Forest dugout at the beginning because he wanted to give way to Donn, and Toney, who was taken to the stage from the very beginning. Donn's constant curse of McLaren, who is "more suitable to be an assistant coach than a head coach", is as high as five......

"This guy is a peer killer!" The Sun commented half-seriously, half-jokingly.
