Lian is quite old, can he still eat?

Donn walked up to Wood, leaned down and asked him, "George, are you old?" Do you feel too old to run? ”

"Nope." Wood replied with a blank face.

"That's good." Donn slapped his face, "Your defensive task will be heavier in the second half. ”

Wood was a little surprised, he thought that Don would tell him to step up the offense, but he didn't expect it to be a defensive task.

"The manager of Nods County is not a 'one-to-zero' and we will definitely come back in the second half because I will not allow you to lose the game. But what will happen to Nods County in the face of our attack? I don't think they're going to defend right now, they're going to keep attacking and they're going to be quite aggressive. So at least in the first half of the second half, you don't have a lot of time to attack. George. Donn said to Wood.

The players were even more puzzled when they heard this. George is the offensive and defensive heart of the team, and if he focuses on defense, then who will organize the offense?

Donn tapped Wood on the shoulder, then walked over to Gargo next to him, "You're doing a good job, Fernando. But you'd better take a break in the second half, right? ”

Gago, of course, knew it was kind words, but in fact he contributed almost nothing in the first half. After all, when you are old, your physical strength and consciousness can't keep up.

But no one wants to be swapped like that.

Gago didn't nod in agreement, nor did he shake his head in disagreement. Don made a decision for him directly: "Thank you." ”

Now that Gago has been replaced, who will take over? Wood has to concentrate on defense, and Gago is not on the court, who will organize the offense?

Tang En turned around and looked at Chen Jian, who had been called back from outside.

"You go up in the second half, Chen Jian."

This decision really surprised everyone else, but Chen Jian didn't show a look of surprise, he just nodded.

He knew he was going to play in this game because Donn had told him about it. So don't be surprised. Otherwise, he would have the same expression as his teammates - he has only been in the team for four days, and he was sent on the field in this game, and it seems that Don really trusts this Chinese player...... "Your task is to organize the attack. I know you do this kind of work a lot in Spain, so it shouldn't be difficult for you, right? Don asked.

Chen Jian didn't answer him very simply, "It's not difficult". Instead, he frowned and asked his own question: "I've only been practicing with the team for three days, will it be ...... for me to organize the attack?"

"George will assist you." Don replied.

Wood nodded in agreement.

Chen Jian looked at his teammates present. Although it was only three days, he had been silently observing the team. Some people already have a general understanding of their characteristics, so I believe there shouldn't be much of a problem, right?

"Yes, sir." Chen Jian replied in English.

'It's going to be a big game at the start of the second half and we have to be in the same way – it's not something you can win just by taking it, it's a derby, guys! This is a city derby that can level out the huge difference in strength! If you still think that you can break through with the ball, pass the ball and score goals...... Then raise your hands and surrender as soon as possible. This is not your war. ”

Some of Donne's faces were red and their ears were hot. Because that's exactly what they thought in the first half, and from the second they stepped on the pitch, they thought they could easily beat their opponents, even if it was a derby. We're at home!

The result? After being used by the opponent to break the goal from a set-piece, they panicked and fought separately, and they were unable to equalize until the end of the first half, but instead allowed Norts County to get several good counter-attack opportunities, which surprised the Forest crowd at the scene to boo dissatisfied.

If they end up losing, it's a disgrace in the first half.

'So we counter-attacked in the second half and waited for Notts to press up. Balotelli is a little further back and connects the front and back. Our three lines must be compact and not allow our opponents to separate them. The two wings must dare to press when attacking, don't be afraid of being free behind you, if you can't press up, then you will be pressed and beaten by the other side. ”

'The simpler the attack, the better, and the Norts attack is complicated and beautiful, and we don't do it much. Playing with them will only fall into their trap and they certainly want the football to stay a little longer in our half. ”

Donn is giving the team a detailed explanation of the tactical arrangements for the second half. In fact, the tactical arrangement has not changed, but the players in the first half were contemptuous and did not implement tactical discipline at all, which led to such a situation. Now, after a terrible first half, coupled with Donn's criticism at half-time, these people have come to realize that the opponent in front of them really has to put away their contempt.

Done knows that Don's football is attacking football, and from the team he has built in Notts County, the best way to deal with this kind of football defensive counter-attack is to do so.

※※※Chen Jian stood on the sidelines, ready to play. Although Gago was already off the field, the substitution had to be completed, so he stood on the sidelines and waited for the fourth official to lift his number plate.

It will be his first competitive game for Nottingham Forest, but he doesn't feel much excited, both when he first heard that he might feature in the FA Cup or when Donn announced the decision in the dressing room, he was calm, and to say that cutting his nails was cold, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He wondered why he was so calm. Wasn't playing for Forest a long-time dream? Now that it's happening, why don't you feel excited and happy?

Isn't that my dream? Is it an illusion of self-deception?

The names of the players who are about to play are being broadcast on the radio.

"No. 14, Chen Jian!"

Some fans gave a standing ovation, and the fourth official behind him held up a sign, and Chen Jian ran up.

He felt so calm that he felt so calm that he felt that something was wrong. It was noisy, but his brain didn't heat up, and he told himself over and over again: this is Nottingham Forest's home stadium! I'm a member of Nottingham Forest!

It's useless, he just can't get excited. He began to wonder if he was out of shape...... ※※※ Tang saw Chen Jian running onto the field, and he glanced at Tang En next door. He could guess that Tang would let Chen Jian play in this match, so he wasn't surprised.

And speaking of which, he still has some expectations, wanting to see what Chen Jian can do in this game...... You must know that if he takes over the Forest team next season, then Chen Jian will become a member of his team.

But...... You can't just let him go for nothing.

Don walked to the sidelines, hooked his hand and called out to his nearest Notts County player and told him to pass the word to the other players on the pitch to keep an eye on the No. 14 Forest player who was facing the east.

The Chinese reporters in the stands were excited for a while when they saw Chen Jian appear, but they soon stopped laughing. Because Chen Jian is always accompanied by a Notts player, sometimes even two ...... "I really can't figure out why the boss told us to pay attention to that Chinese kid. "Paul. Johnson shook his head and said to his teammates beside him. Now it's the dead ball, and they're going to have a chance to come together and say these things.

"Who knows." His teammates shrugged.

"Judging from the performance of these few minutes, it's very average......"

Of course, it's very ordinary, Chen Jian is still thinking about why he is so calm and didn't integrate into the game. The passing and receiving of the ball are all decent, with more return passes and fewer forward passes.

Not only the players in Notts County think that Chen Jian is very ordinary, but even the British commentators think that the Chinese midfielder that Don spent 9 million to buy is mediocre, but he thinks that there may be reasons why he does not cooperate with the team tacitly.

"Chen's performance is not right......" Chrislak said to Donn. After these three days of training, the assistant coach has somewhat recognized Chen Jian's level, so he also feels that Chen Jian's current performance is wrong.

Donn pinched his chin: "Who knows, maybe it's the first time I've played for the Forest team, and I'm too excited......"

※※※Chen Jian found that he was really calm, even if the opponent's two opponents came up to defend him, he could still think of observing the position of his teammates first. What would he do if it was hot-headed? Defend the ball, try to get past those two menacing guys, and show yourself in front of the home fans, right?

Forcing a breakthrough and then coming with a long-range shot?

Chen Jian shook his feet, and the football passed through the gap between the two people, and rolled right to the fullback Gareth, who was inserted in the back. Bell's feet!

"Beautiful!" The commentator in England shouted.

There was no one in this position before, but Chen Jian could think of it with Bale, and skillfully and decisively passed the ball through the gap, which is indeed worthy of a "beautiful".

Chen Jian suddenly remembered that when he played his first La Liga game for Espanyol, he seemed to be so "indifferent" when he won the best of the match as a Spaniard player for the first time...... He received the ball again, and Balotelli turned to signal him to pass, but he waved Balotelli forward. As soon as he saw Balotelli turn away, he immediately sent a through ball past the Nods County centre-back, who turned and slotted diagonally to receive the ball.

Calmly analysing the situation on the pitch is not something I have been able to rely on to be able to stand in La Liga?

I'm not in a bad state, I'm in a good state!

Don found that Chen Jian always got the ball out in the quickest time, which caused a lot of problems for the Notts County players who were defending him. If a player likes to dribble, then he must be the best to defend, but if a player likes to play the ball very quickly, it will be difficult to defend against him.

Chen Jian belongs to this type of player, his dribbling is not good, and his speed is not fast. Possession is limited to being able to control the ball at your feet when pressed, and you can't do that kind of fancy tricks. But there seems to be a natural acuity for passing.

Now he doesn't know whether he should be happy to have such a passer in the future, or worry about the outcome of this game...... Nods did step up their attack in the second half. But with Wood's defense and Chen Jian's passing organization, their offense was all invisible.

The Norts players lost their cool as the situation turned on the pitch. After all, they are young, and they are not as experienced as Nottingham Forest.

Don saw what Don was thinking, and he began to systematically shrink the line. Unexpectedly, this is actually Donn's real intention - once the defense line is contracted, how can a backline of Nottingham County's level withstand Nottingham Forest's stormy attack?

Seeing that Nods County contracted, he immediately changed his tactics, asking all the players to press over the halfway line and bombard the Nods County penalty area.

Tang didn't expect Tang En to have this hand, and he couldn't react for a while. Nottingham Forest seized the opportunity to score the equaliser, and three minutes later, Forest added a goal. Beat the score!

Although these two goals were not directly assisted by Chen Jian, he was involved. This debut was pretty good.

After 2:1, Donn didn't stop there, but continued to strengthen his attack, and he replaced Cohen with the more attacking Teixeira.

You must know that Don is not actually a "one-to-zero" person...... Before the end of the game, taking advantage of the opportunity of Notts County's eagerness to equalize and press the whole team, Donn finally sacrificed his "defensive counterattack" magic weapon, allowing Abanglajo, who was later substituted on the field, to sneak attack and freeze the score at 3:1.

Confident before the game, Nods County still lost the derby. They may have a lot of reluctance, but no one cares about it anymore.

When the two head coaches shook hands after the game, Don wanted to comfort Tang safely, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Tang.

"It's a shame that it only caused you forty-five minutes of trouble......"

In fact, Don was defeated by his lack of experience, after all, he has always led the team in the lower leagues. But Don En won't say this now, so he has to consider the feelings of the loser.

So he hey, hey, silly.

"Forty-five minutes is enough for some people to see your abilities clearly. Take your time, Don. ”

Tang shrugged, didn't say anything more, passed by Don, and walked towards Yongdao.

Before entering the corridor, he glanced back at the stadium again.

It was almost dusk after the game, and the golden rays of the setting sun could only reach the upper part of the roof, and most of Nottingham Forest's crest was hidden in shadows, and the whole stadium was shrouded in shadows.

Tony. Donne, his old friend, his brother who had the same pair of parents as him, another man with his body, the nightmare was embracing his men with open arms.

Taking over his team? It's the toughest challenge I've ever faced in my tenure.

But as Donn said, how can you progress without challenges? Didn't he challenge those unattainable champions one by one?

Now, he just wanted to say to his wife: Don, whom she liked, was back.

As if he had unloaded a thousand pounds of heavy burden, Tang exhaled a breath in his chest, retracted his gaze, and walked into the player's corridor.
