Tiff. Mr. Koper has been promoted from the team to the upper division for a day.

Two years later, he could finally fight Donn again.

In the summer of 2oo4, Donn's Nottingham Forest ~ Match) fought a bloody way and returned to the English league after a long absence, and since then has embarked on a broad road. Tony. Donn and Nottingham Forest are famous all over the world.

And what is Koper doing at this time? He is still trying his courage in lying on his salary, reforming the team, and aiming for it. 94b941

Two seasons on, Koper has transformed Reading into a tougher, more brutal and tenacious style of play that is better suited to fighting in the Championship. The team is united and strives for the goal. Finally, in the summer of 2oo6, the dream came true and Reading made it to England!

Reading's players are all tall and tall, and Koper has taken that advantage to the extreme. His team treats every game as if it were a war.

Koppel may not admit it, but his transformation was indeed influenced by Tony. Some of Donn's influences.

While Donn was afraid that the current Reading team was too rough, did he ever think that this could be caused by him? The influence he brought to the world after crossing over, as he became active, became more and more like silk threads, and then became entangled with each other, becoming more and more deeply rooted.

Tang Xian Tang En's brows have been slightly furrowed since he boarded the bus at the hotel.

"What's on your mind?" He asked. 94b941

Don looked at his partner, he did have something on his mind, but he couldn't tell anyone about it. 'I'm thinking about playing against Arsenal.' Don forced a smile.

"Let's think about the opponent in front of you. Reading is not easy to deal with. ”

These words happened to Tang En's thoughts, and he was stunned for a moment.

"I guess you're underestimating, Tony?"

The roster of the team has not yet been announced, but the coaches already know about it. In this game, Donn rotated in several positions. The main goalkeeper Van der Sar substituted, Paul. Girard got it. Ribery on the bench, Petrov on. Bendtner replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Nicolas Anelka, who had not had much of an opportunity to play, also came on.

"Rotation is normal for the Forest team right now." Don shrugged.

"But why did you, who never rotate the main goalkeeper, let Paul this time?"

This kid's eyes are really poisonous. Don sighed in his heart, but said on his lips: "Aren't you complaining that the substitute goalkeeper has too few opportunities to play, it is difficult to maintain his form, and his level cannot be improved? Now's your chance. ”

This answer is not leaky. Don couldn't find any problems. But there is still a faint strangeness in my heart. He stopped talking.

"I've played Koper a lot of times in the First Division, so I know him and his team. This game ......"

Images of Cech and Cudicini unconscious suddenly flashed through Don's mind, and his words froze.

“…… There won't be any problems. ”94b941

'I'm glad we can get back to this stadium and face this opponent. In the Championship, we played them a lot. But not once has it been defeated. It's a different situation now, and this is our opportunity. ”

Koper has never hidden his 'unique interest' in Nottingham Forest's opponents in front of his players, so everyone in the squad knows how much the manager is looking forward to this game.

"Nottingham Forest are a strong team right now, and the Donn guy said before the season that they were aiming for the Champions Cup this season. They aim big. It's no longer disdainful of wallowing in the mud with a team like ours. So, this game we're going to let them relive their old dreams! Fulham set a good example, but I don't think they were thorough enough. The game...... In our usual style! ”

He didn't say anything later, but everyone knew what it meant. Reading doesn't care about fouls, as long as they can kick the opponent out of reach, they can pay whatever it takes. Victory is the only law in this world.

Meanwhile, Don was inside the locker room. Over and over again, the players were reminded of rough fouls and told not to take any risks if there were balls that they didn't have to fight.

His words provoked a burst of laughter in the locker room.

"Boss, have you had surgery?" Ribery asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Don didn't understand what he meant.

"Usually you always scold us girls, why do I think you are more girls today?"

As soon as Ribery finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Usually this joke, Don smiled and passed. Don couldn't laugh today anyway.

He stared at Ribery for a moment until everyone stopped laughing.

But he didn't say anything to Ribery, just bowed his head and continued to analyze the tactics of the Reading team for everyone.

The relaxed atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became a little awkward.

Don watched Don quietly from the side.

In the end, Don didn't remind everyone to pay attention to the opponent's rough fouls and small gestures. He seems to have accepted Ribery's opinion. 94b941

The time for the game is approaching. Don also ended the pre-match set-up. Then he didn't make any agitative speeches, just waved his hand and let everyone out.

Substitute goalkeeper Paul. Gerrard was excited to be on the pitch and he didn't forget to reach out and pat the top of the door frame as he went out.

Don watched him from behind, but didn't know what to do. He hoped that all his worries were false alarms, the result of his own cranky thoughts.

"Nottingham Forest and Reading, Tony. Donn and Steve. Koppel, an old acquaintance. The commentator introduced the situation of the two sides to the audience, "There will be a lot to see in this game...... There will definitely be! ”94b941

Don sat in the dugout, quietly waiting for the game to begin.

It wasn't quite in line with his habits, and he rarely had such quiet moments.

Just five minutes into the game, Donn jumped up from his seat, and he was finally active again.

Nottingham Forest scored.

As analysed by the media before the game, Donn's aggressive use of rotation in this game is not entirely underestimated, but Nottingham Forest and Reading are far apart, and arranging rotation before facing old rivals Arsenal is also the best way to avoid physical exhaustion and injury to the players.

"Nicholas. Anelka! "The name of the goal was shouted over the live radio. It's a name that hasn't been heard for Forest home fans for a while. After the new season, Anelka sat on the cold bench, let alone scored, and the playing time was gone.

I didn't expect to play for the first time now, and score a goal for the team in five minutes.

Donn jumped up and applauded, and sat down again, not as excited as he had been. But at this time he wasn't worried about the boorish Redding, he just didn't want Anelka to be too proud.

"Anelka." The assistant coach next to him, Chrislak, shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that this strength ......"

Don snorted, and Chrislak was silent. he

Hikari was back on the pitch, Anelka was still celebrating the goal, he had a head, and it seemed that he was able to score in front of Donn, which was very relieving.

It's a different story, Anelka. No matter how well you perform in front of me now, don't think about any more chances.

Forest scored and Koper's face changed instantly. Originally, he still had a lot of expectations for this game, but he was hit in the first five minutes.

Before the game, they told them that everyone who has to die against the opponent should be fouled, and you are welcome. But how did you concede the ball just now? After Anelka forced a breakthrough, none of his own people fouled! Just watch him burst into the box and score!

These bastard boys!

He got up from his seat.

"Songk!" He shouted the names of the centre-backs, effectively to all the Reading players, "Look what are you doing?" Why do you let the opponent score so easily? Forgot what I told you before the game? Do you want to win? ”

After Koper yelled like this, the Reading team woke up like a dream. The Nottingham Forest players soon realized that it was not so easy for them to get the ball, and almost as soon as their feet touched the ball, the opponent pounced on them viciously, and used their hands and feet together to break the ball. What's even more dissatisfying for the Forest players is that the referee on duty, Riley, turned a blind eye to the Reading team's approach, and some of the Forest players were pushed down from behind, so that the ball was successfully tackled, but the referee acquiesced. 94b941

This made the Forest players particularly angry. There were also several boos from the stands against referee Riley.

Donn sat in the coach's seat. This kind of game is quite normal in his opinion, after all, kicking the leg and kicking the head are completely two different concepts.

However, he clearly had a sneer on his face, and this smile was given to the referee on duty, Riley.

"UEFA is not yin to us, our own people are yin?" He muttered to himself.

The game officially entered the 'hand-to-hand phase', with Reading furious by the goal conceded and Nottingham Forest furious by their gross foul. Both sides are a little bigger.

You push me, I push yours, it's all normal physical contact in this game.

Riley's weakness led to Reading's move getting bigger, and it was only then that the Forest players remembered that they had warned them to beware of the opponent's rude fouls, and then that the next league game was the highlight of the game against Arsenal, and no one wanted to lose the opportunity to appear in an important game. Suddenly, the Forest team was playing a little bit back.

Reading took advantage of the situation to attack the heart of the Forest side in the hope of equalising before half-time.

If Sidwell's memory isn't bad. He will definitely not take the ball to the middle and force a breakthrough. But it doesn't matter, soon his memory will be better.

Reading midfielder and England under-21 national team member Steve Brown. Sidwell, after receiving a pass from his teammate, decided to go in the middle, after all, this is the route that most threatens the opponent's goal, and it is also the most direct.

The most direct is the most effective!

Sidwell intends to burst through the middle. It seemed that he had forgotten someone. This attitude made the person a little unhappy.

Steve. Sidwell confirmed that there were no Forest players on the line in the middle before he broke through, but just as he knocked the ball out, suddenly a red figure flashed out and quickly turned and cut in!

When the red figure turned his back to him, he finally saw clearly—

Sidwell, who had just been added, couldn't stop the car and crashed head-on, and he felt that Wood didn't even shake, so he was separated from the football.

At this moment, Sidwell's memory suddenly improved. He remembered that in the game against the Forest team two years ago, he suffered a big loss with such a kid. But at that time, this kid was still wearing No. 33......

Wood, George. Wood. England's hottest defensive midfielder at the moment. How did I forget about him?

Sidwell regretted that it was too late, the ball had already been conceded.

"George. Wood! Nice card slots! In the face of George. Wood's midfield rush? Sidwell's mind is really confused......"

The boos against the referee finally stopped from the stands, and the home fans gave their captain a round of applause.

At critical moments, the captain is always trustworthy.

Wood relied on his individual performances to defuse a crisis for the Forest, but he was not a team alone. The predicament facing the Forest team has not been resolved.

Reading bullied Forest, and played more brutally and openly.

Donn was right, and Koper was right.

Today's Nottingham Forest don't dare to fight with the brutal Reading team, they have too many things to worry about, the next round of the league against Arsenal, the Champions League group stage. A long journey throughout the season, the goal of the championship...... Wait a minute. These are the reasons for them to hold back.

The man in front of him shrunk, goalkeeper Paul. Steven Gerrard was extra busy, picking up high and low and trying not to let the opposition break his goal. Of course, he didn't expect to be able to snatch the position of the main goalkeeper from Van der Sar, and he didn't know why the head of the game suddenly rotated the goalkeeper position, he only knew one thing - the leader let himself play, and he had to be worthy of these 90 minutes. 94b941

"Reading's through pass...... It's big, but Hunter is chasing! ”

South Korean midfielder Kim Doo-hyun tore through the Forest defence with a surprising through ball from the middle. Originally, the Forest defenders didn't take this seriously because, as the commentator said, the ball was a bit too big. 94b941

But when they all relaxed, they saw that Hunt, the striker of the Reading team, did not give up, but chased!

Piquee looked back and was nervous when he saw Hunter's figure, but he saw Paul. Gerrard was already on the punch and ready to fall to the ground to catch the ball, and his heart went back to him.

Although Hunter is still chasing, he will definitely not be able to get the ball anymore.

Paul. Gerrard slid to the ground towards the ball, and he hooked his hands on the ball. One of Reading's attacks ended. 94b941

Hunter is still rushing forward, and at this time the striker should generally jump up to avoid the attacking goalkeeper, right? Stephen. Hunter didn't, he went straight up and then hit Paul with his knee. Gerald's Head ......

Everyone – in front of the TV or in the audience – saw it clearly. Paul holding the ball. Gerrard suddenly raised his head and rolled over, going from lying on his stomach to lying on his back with the ball still clutched, but things didn't look right.

Hunt didn't notice all this from Paul. Jera's head ran in front of him, ran off the line, and now the football is still in the goalkeeper's hands. So he stopped, spread his hands, and smiled casually in the direction of the camera.

Just as he finished laughing and turned around, a huge fist suddenly appeared in front of him. Then, before he could react, he felt as if he had been hit by a high-moving heavy truck, flew upside down, and fell on a billboard near the bottom line! This time, referee Riley's whistle finally sounded.
