"The league has finished four rounds, and the next round will not be rekindled until September 12. Now we can summarize Tony well. Donn and his Boy Scouts' achievements in these four rounds of the league ...... "Carl. Spike continues his promising job as "Don Black" on a football talk show he hosts.

It is indeed "very promising", and his sharp rhetoric impresses people due to the fact that he has been sneering and laughing at Donn in his columns. So Sky TV approached him and asked him to host a talk show on football celebrities on the Premier League channel, called "Football Things......". Each issue invites one or a few guests to comment on the interesting things that have happened in English football recently, as long as they don't directly explode or make personal threats. Spike relied on his lip service to quickly make this new show soar all the way up the Sky TV ratings charts, and it was faintly about to become the trend of the new ace show...... When this show first aired, some people predicted that it was actually a game aimed at Tony. Donn's show. Because no matter what, as long as he gets involved with Don En, he can attract everyone's attention - who makes him always have so many stories around him?

But with the start of the new Premier League season, this show has been broadcast for four episodes, and this is the first time that Tony . Don came in to talk about it.

"Two losses and two draws, two points, second to last! Awesome! Spike clapped his hands vigorously, "The Crusaders handed over a satisfactory and unsurprising answer. What do you think, Andy? ”

The guest on this episode is the retired former Manchester United legendary goalscorer Andy Brown. Kerr, who is currently the second-highest scorer in Premier League history, is also a native of Nottingham, whose home team is Nottingham Forest. He was a Forest fan before he became Manchester United's goalscorer. Since we are going to talk about Nottingham Forest, it is natural to invite celebrity guests related to the Forest team.

"Well, if you say it's not an accident, I don't think it's a surprise...... To be honest, I have a lot of respect for Tony. Coach Donn, he's very capable. But at present, the strength of this team is too weak in any line. The league has started four rounds, and their opponents are not weak: a draw away from Middlesbrough in the first round, a home defeat to Chelsea in the second round, an away defeat to Everton in the third round, and a draw at home to Everton in the fourth...... The lads were very good on the pitch, but overall they weren't good enough. ”

Spike laughs, "yes, that's it!" What did I say before the league started? Mr. Donn, if you want to be in the middle of the league with your current squad, maybe not a problem, but if you're going to regain the league title or get back to the Champions Cup, that's the kind of guys? I really can't find a reason to be optimistic...... Now I'm going to correct my statement, just with the current team of Boy Scouts, let alone the middle of the league, they should be happy that they are still in the Premier League by the end of the season! ”

"The only good news is that after four rounds of the league, his team has finally scored. Against Everton, Eastwood scored their first goal of the new season. It's not easy! ”

"It reinforces my confidence that I'm not bullish on Nottingham Forest. Watching them play is like watching a swarm of headless flies crashing around the field. It's unbearable to witness. Spike grimaced, indicating that he really couldn't bear to see it. Young people lack sufficient experience. George. Wood's form has been consistent as always, but he can't bring consistency and experience to the team. What does this thing say about experience? It's not just the old players who can bring it out, they also need to go through the baptism of the game...... At least before Christmas, we won't be able to see the Nottingham Forest team that we once knew so well. ”

"Tony. Does Don regret it? The devil knows! ”

※※※Tony. Does Don regret it?

How can it be!

He doesn't have that kind of time to spare.

Of course he knows that the team has not been doing well lately, but it was expected by him. A team composed of almost half of the young players, with a lot of main players, and a certain change in the tactical style of play, how can it be possible to get good results when they come up?

Therefore, no matter how the outside media criticizes him and his team, he will not have the slightest doubt about his choice. On the contrary, he also wants this criticism to be louder and louder – he needs to use these things to stimulate the players.

It's just September, and the players in the team who have national team play tasks have been transferred. Even those young people have their own national youth team competitions. These two weeks are two precious weeks for Nottingham Forest, and a winless streak is not a good thing for whatever reason, and they can use it to recalibrate, both tactically and mentally...... In Donne's mind, the goal this season is not to win any title, but to return to Europe next season, whether it's the UEFA Cup or the Champions Cup...... As long as they can return to Europe, the club's financial situation will improve and the team will be able to return to the first group.

While the club's players were playing for the national team, Don spent their first life since their marriage with Shania by his side.

In the back garden, they threw a small party, invited some of their colleagues who worked in the club, had a simple dinner, and then dispersed. During the dinner, they chatted about the current situation of the team and how to solve it. It's a party, but it's probably more like a work meal. The party of the middle-aged is not like those young players, who have to call the young lady over after eating and drinking.

After seeing off his colleagues, Don stood at the gate of the courtyard with his arms around Shania and sighed.

"Unhappy in life? Is it because of the team's recent results? Shania looked at him.

"How could that kind of thing make me sigh?" Don turned his head to look at Shania who was snuggled up to him. "I just lamented that I was a year older...... You know what, Shania. When I was your age, my daily wish was to grow up quickly, read quickly, and become an 'adult'. Now I regret it...... The son who was with you was missing for twenty-two years for no reason. ”

Shania hugged Uncle Tony hard and didn't say anything.

"You won't have to give me a life in the future, Shania. Just when I ...... Forty years old forever. ”

If possible, he really wanted to say "just be forever eighteen years old" and "forever twenty years old", but now he can only say "forever forty years old", which is really helpless.

"Then you won't give me a life, just let me be eighteen years old forever!"

Tang En smiled: "Okay, we are all immortal, and our youth will last forever." With his arms around Shania, he walked back to the house, about to start a new round of their "man-making movement".

※※※After giving Don a birthday, Shania flew to Los Angeles again. Tom. Cruise is very interesting to leave a role for Shania in the new film he made. This time the role is a little more important than the last time the vase trick was played. has a lot of lines, and he is playing against the protagonist again.

Shania is gearing up and ready to make a big splash in the play. At this time, the "man-making movement" will naturally drag on.

The team's players also returned, and two days before the start of the league, everyone returned to the team. Whether it was Raphinha, who was far away in Brazil, or Sun Jihai, who returned to China to compete, they all returned on time. After a brief day of training, Nottingham Forest depart for London to take on Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. On the 15th, they will continue their road trip in London, this time against Fulham.

For Nottingham Forest's trip to London, the media is generally not optimistic. In addition to the level of performance of the teams in the first four rounds of the league, it is natural that the national team will be followed by two matches in a week, and given the team's physical distribution and the ups and downs in the form of the players, the two games for the Forest team are considered to be unlucky.

On the way to London, the TV in the bus played Donne's elaborate pastime for the players. Spike mocks Nottingham Forest's "Boy Scouts" on a TV show.

"What can a bunch of kids do with their milk? Ha ha! They can't do anything! Look at how they did in the game, if I were Tony. Don, I'm going to tell them all to get home. Some simply don't have the level to get a foothold at Nottingham Forest. Tony. Did Don buy these people to receive kickbacks? ”

“…… Yes, yes, but I think Andy you're still being too kind. If I were Tony. Don, I'll scold even harder, they're just useless...... I believe Tony. That Donn, too, would agree with me. ”

"That's the way it is – Tony. Donn counted on a group of boy scouts to conquer Europe. I'm going to make it one of the top 10 funniest things of the year, and it might even challenge for the title. You can imagine this kind of scene and you can see how funny it is. Hitler roared at a group of babies with pacifiers in their mouths: 'You're going to level France, and you're going to stand on the edge of the English Channel, pull out that thing in your crotch, and pee on those Brits!' Let all of Europe tremble under our iron hooves and beg for mercy! ’”

Cal. Spike slaps the table at the end and laughs.

There was silence in the car, save for laughter on the TV.

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously and went their separate ways, but then they found out that things were not so simple. So one by one, I opened my sleepy eyes, took off my headphones, and looked away from my phone screen or PSP screen.

"Who's that idiot?" Finally someone called out.

"Carl. Spike! He's always targeting the boss and us. Did the boss cuckold him......" someone explained in a whisper.

"What kind of bullshit is he playing?"

Although Carl. Spike was talking about the young Foresters, but as a group, his teammates were scolded and everyone else felt the same way. What's more, this forest team is indeed very young...... "Such a person can also be on TV to host a show?" I'm getting more confident about my life after I retire......" Eastwood groaned as he touched his chin.

"It's too early to think about retiring, Freddie." Donn stood up, leaned on the back of his seat, and said to Eastwood, who was sitting in the back.

"This is the latest installment of ...... Football Things. I'm worried that some of you haven't seen it, so I recorded it and showed it to you on the road. Want to know why I did it? Guys. Because it's almost all out there now, I think you've all heard it, but you just don't want to pay attention to it. But ......" he raised his voice and spoke to the players in the aisle in the middle of the station. "It's not our way to ignore it. Any idea why I didn't write in my column to fight back against those who questioned us? Because football is not made by words, if we want to fight back against those idiotic statements, the best way is definitely not to explode in interviews, but to win! Slap them in the face with victory! Until they get their faces pumped to the point where they don't even know their old mothers! ”

"I never told you that I was angry that we were in second from bottom with only two points, and that was because I didn't want to put too much pressure on you. But now I have to let you know how I really feel - that is, I'm fucking angry! He shook his fist vigorously. It's a bit like Carl. Spike said that a madman warmonger Adolf. Hitler.

"I tell you, being young and inexperienced is definitely not an excuse for you. I don't want anyone to use the media rhetoric as a reason for failure. There is only one reason for failure, and that is that you are not good enough! I'm giving you a month to get used to this goddamn new season, and I think you're done getting used and ready to win. Are you ready? ”

"That's right, sir! We're ready! The people in the car roared.

"Yes, you have to be ready. If you're not ready, I'll ask him to get out of the car and run back to Nottingham! I need a madman who believes Nottingham Forest will win at all times, not a coward who thinks we might lose! You have to remember that the opponent of this game is definitely not Tottenham Hotspur, but the media who look down on us, ridicule us as Boy Scouts, and say that you are not weaned yet! ”

"Prove to them with victory...... Who hasn't weaned! ”

"I don't think Nottingham Forest is as vulnerable as the media portrays it to be. My team is ready. I believe Tony. Don must have been prepared, too. I would shake his hand before the game and congratulate him on his return to the pitch after overcoming his heart attack. But when it's time to play, he'd better forget what I just said. It's going to be a tough game......"

In a pre-game interview, Redknapp said.

It was indeed a tight race.

Donn fielded a double midfielder in the game, George. Wood and Thiago formed a wall in front of the centre-backs, using their tireless running and interception ability to stifle Tottenham's attack in midfield. Then, taking advantage of their ability to pass the ball and attack, they attack on the spot as soon as they break the ball. Playing Tottenham was caught off guard.

Shaheen sat on the bench and watched his team-mates attack from the back again and again, threatening the opposition defence with long balls.

Petrov and Lennon pinned down the opposition defence on the flanks, forcing Tottenham's defence to stretch horizontally, revealing many gaps. If Tottenham's defenders shrink down the middle, then turn the attack to the wings. All these changes are completely in the hands of the two midfielders.

Abonlaho's pace allows him to raid the Tottenham defence through the middle of the pitch through the backcourt, while Kic, who has the height, header and body, is responsible for receiving covers. His presence ensures that Forest's long-pass attacks are not easily finished. As soon as the defender or striker gets the ball up front and takes control of the situation, Forest starts pressing. Two full-backs Gareth. Gareth Bale and Raphinha put the pressure on Tottenham from the flanks with their best wide assists.

Redknapp also has a countermeasure. He saw the characteristics of Donn playing on the wings, and whenever Bale and Raphinha pressed up, Tottenham would focus their attacks firmly on Forest's two flanks - Darren Darren, who stayed in front. Bent is not in the middle, but will pull up to the flank to receive the ball and then break through the Forest defence from the flank to pose a threat to Akinfeev's goal. Also Modlic and Doss. Santos will also follow in time and be responsible for picking up or covering Darren. Bent.

The pace of the offensive and defensive transfers between the two sides is very fast, but in general, it is Tottenham who cannot be slowed down by the fast pace of Forest. Bale, Raphinha, Petrov, Lennon, Abonlaho, these are all fast players, every time the Forest team launches an attack, the midfielder does not fall to the feet, and the direct long pass, that is these people and the speed of football. Tottenham will have to follow suit if they don't want their defence to collapse.

After a long time, Tottenham's fitness has dropped significantly, not to mention, their speed has not been able to keep up with Nottingham Forest. The exhausted defensive line was pulled by the Foresters, and the cracks grew bigger and bigger...... Towards the end of the first half, Kicic received a cross from Abang Lajo on the wing. King's defensive header smashed the ball into the door guarded by England international Robinson.

The Airlord made his debut in the new season, Ridley. Kim was as thin as a bamboo pole in front of him!

In the second half, Tottenham had a set-piece chance played by Darren Hotspur. Bent pulled a goal back.

But the game has thoroughly entered the rhythm of Nottingham Forest. Donn took full advantage of the team's young people, good physical fitness and fast speed, dragging Tottenham to play fast-paced offensive and defensive battles with them. The TV commentator has said on more than one occasion that "it is only a matter of time before Nottingham Forest score again".

In the 21st minute of the second half, Nottingham Forest scored their second goal.

Thiago had a physical confrontation with Modlic near midfield, and the two fell to the ground almost at the same time, but it was Modelic who was fouled when he was cut off and hooked Thiago. But George. Wood struck through the slash and snatched the ball out of control. The referee, who was going to blow the whistle and pause the game, immediately raised his hands and pointed forward - the attack is favorable, and the game continues!

Wood didn't dribble much of the ball, he saw Abonlaho cruising diagonally in front of him, and decisively pushed a through ball.

Abonlaho used his speed to shake off defenders in an instant and cut diagonally behind Tottenham defenders, not offside! He then burst into the box with the ball and fired a diagonal shot into the net against the onrushing Robinson.

"Abang Lajo's speed with which he broke through with the ball was simply breathtaking...... George. Wood rushed up from five metres out to steal the ball with a speed that the Spurs players did not expect...... This goal, and even this game, really put Tony. Donn's constant 'speed' is a very good interpretation. The commentator lamented the lightning-fast goal, which took just 15 seconds from Modlic's dribbling to Abanglajo's shot.

Having scored the goal, Abang Lajo ran back and hugged the captain who gave him the assist. Wood, looking very excited. Because it was his first competitive goal since joining Nottingham Forest.

Donn, who saw this scene from the sidelines, touched his chin and pondered. George. Wood is getting more and more like Albertini...... The timing, the force, the accuracy of the pass, and the prediction of Abang Laho's path were impeccable. If he can maintain this kind of performance, rather than the occasional flash of inspiration, then he will not have to worry about the team's playmaker...... which ended with Nottingham Forest's 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur. Donn's side enjoyed their first win of the new season. And Carl. Spike said on his show that the result of a game can't say anything, it's normal for young people to do well once in a while, and the league is a long season of 38 rounds, who knows how long this Scout will last?

So, ah, he continues to insist on not being bullish on Nottingham Forest. Feel free to criticize.

Donn didn't respond to Spike's criticism in any way, but he knew that the whole Nottingham Forest team was suffocating because of the man's clamour. He knew that as long as he won game after game until the end of the season, this dear Mr. Spike would be going to add back to his face.

He was looking forward to that day. When the time comes, he will not mind laughing at dear Mr. Spike with the most vicious and unsympathetic words.
