Cal. In his column, Spike lashes out at Donn's new teaming policy, arguing that Donn's desire to run the world with a bunch of kids is a fantasy.

His views were echoed by the majority of the media, and a variety of critical voices emerged.

Some of the criticism was directed at him, some at the club, and some at the players.

"I don't trust Ni. What Donn has been able to achieve this season. ”

"The club paid for these youngsters and the facts will soon prove their investment wrong."

"Niklas. Milan? Sorry, I've never heard of that name......"

"Tony. Don whimsically thought that by bringing these young people with potential together, they would become very capable? The exact opposite is true. He wants to replicate Manchester United's Class of 92? In my eyes, this is simply a joke! ”

…… Even Nottingham Evening Post reporter Pierce, who has always supported Donn. Bruce has written about Donn's aggressive purchase of young people.

He thinks it's really reassuring to put the treasure on these seventeen to eighteen-year-old children. He wasn't worried about Donn's vision, but there was always a process to nurture young people. Maybe in a few seasons, they can see a group of talented teenagers maturing, but are these two seasons all about Forest's success?

His phrasing was as tactful as possible, and his tone was as tactful as possible.

But he still angered the king here.

He received a call from Donn, and scolding came to him like a tidal wave:

"What are you writing about? Mr. Reporter! Are you tearing down my desk? Thankfully, I didn't plan to publish my column in your newspaper, otherwise I would have been the biggest joke! The articles I scolded for the media appeared in the same issue of the newspaper as the articles you questioned me...... Uh-huh? ”

"But...... But, Mr. Donne. I was really worried about a Forest fan......"

"Forest fans? Did you go out on the street for a visit? Are those fans worried? Can you represent them? ”

"As far as I know...... That's right, Mr. Donn. They were all worried about a lineup that was too young......"

"They have reason to be worried! But you are not eligible to publish it! Do you know what I do every day in addition to training? I'm instilling in those young people the spirit of football in us at Nottingham Forest! I'm telling them that the media is talking bullshit, and they're much better than the reporters think! I kept instilling confidence in them...... You're tearing me down in the back? You have to understand where you stand, Mr. Journalist! You are the local media in Nottingham and you represent the voice of Nottingham! You can't block me like that! If we ourselves are all infighting, will we let those people outside see the jokes? ”

"But I'm telling the truth......

"See the facts! I just know this fact! You have to give them faith, faith, faith! I'm allowing you to get the exclusive news of the club, not for you to do it against me! Are you a Nottingham Forest fan? Do you really want Nottingham Forest to get better? Mr. Reporter! ”

"Of course I, of course I hope ......"

"Then just tell me that these young people are the best in the world! The best! Even if you blow them into the sky, don't worry they'll be fluttering, that's my job! Mr. Journalist. ”

Bruce felt aggrieved, but he couldn't continue arguing with Donn on the phone. As soon as he thought about Donne's heart attack, he feared that he would provoke Donn to the point of going back to the hospital.

"Okay...... I accept your suggestion, Mr. Donn. ”

Donn's tone softened a little: "Remember, Mr. Reporter. You are the voice that represents Nottingham and represents Nottingham Forest. No matter what happens, you're going to stand with us. I need a voice of support from you. The media outside is questioning my team, so it's even more important for you to stand up for us. What is the home atmosphere? Don't think it's only in the stands at City Stadium that you have a home atmosphere. What young people need is not media skepticism, but praise! Don't worry about other things, if you do, you're doing me a favor. ”

Two days later, there was an article in the Nottingham Evening Post. Bruce interviews the young players in the Forest squad. The interviews highlighted the children's strong fighting spirit and confidence. It shows the public a united, hopeful young group.

This is, of course, an act at the behest of Don. He didn't care about Pierce. What about the "position of a journalist" that Bruce muttered in his heart, he only knew what was good for him and what was not.

*※※ Don is completely forgivable for being so angry with Bruce's previous article.

The other media out there scolding his players, Donn is really just feigning anger, but actually secretly rejoicing in his heart - he can use this as an opportunity to bring young people together, boost their morale and help them build confidence. Because these young people are all at the age of rebellion. Just tell them "Gee, the outside world isn't looking at you guys right now, guys" and channel their emotions to the opposite side of the media, and then tell them I'm Tony. Don is with you, and I will always believe in you, you are the best!

Then, the group of young people would scream and can't wait to prove their abilities.

Next up is Donn's femdom ability. Whether facing defeat or victory, he is not worried that these young people will get out of his control.

But Bruce jumped out to show that he was more sober than others, standing tall and looking farther. All along, the Nottingham Evening Post has been known as Tony. Don's identity as the royal spokesperson appeared in front of the public. People outside Nottingham would scold the newspaper for being completely unprincipled in its treatment of the Forest team. But Nottingham Forest fans don't see it that way, they just like to see newspaper articles praising Forest. The Nottingham Forest players themselves will be following Corriere della Sera's report. No one likes to hear bad things.

It is indeed uncomfortable for people to say questioning things in the media that have always supported them.

※※※Before the new season, Nottingham Forest did not go to Asia to pan for gold, nor did they go on any North American tours. They didn't even come out of the UK. I trained locally and then warmed up with a few teams from the UK. With more warm-up games scheduled this summer than in previous years, Donn hopes to consolidate the squad with more games and allow the new youngsters to adapt to the team's style of play more quickly.

By the way, observe which players can actually get into the team's plans. After all, you can't see it only by training, and you have to rely on actual combat to test the strength of players.

In the warm-up games that have been played, Don believes that Adriano, who has been highly recommended by Greenwood, has been highly recommended by Greenwood. Mock's performance disappointed him.

His injury-prone physique puts him at a disadvantage when his opponent is physically due, and he is good at dribbling and passing but can't play physical against his opponent, so how can he do it? There is no football game in the world that does not involve physical contact. If you are not good at physical confrontation, no matter how good the skills of such a player are, Donn will not want it.

It's the humble Chris who had been in the reserve team for a few years. Cohen made Donn's eyes light up. His performance on the left side was remarkable. His speed and technique are not as outstanding as Mock, but he is more well-rounded than Mock, and it is important to note that unlike Mock, who always likes to go it alone, he prefers teamwork. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that he is not fast and explosive, and he can't easily open up the situation by relying on personal breakthroughs. He also made a couple of dangerous passes in the warm-up games, as well as crosses from the flanks.

Donn has decided to focus on developing this Cohen in the new season.

As for Mock...... Lease it out, or sell it outright.

Bostoke and Milan have met Donn's expectations, and they have played in the youth team as well. Milan already had a record of playing for the first team at the age of 14, so playing in the first team is not new to them.

Shahin's performance is also remarkable. At least in the warm-up game, he showed his superior ability. His skills are outstanding for an English player, and Donne's return to the team seems to have strengthened his confidence.

Left-back Joe. Mattok's performance was average, with the occasional few flashes of light, but most of the time he didn't show to be able to overtake Leighton. Barnes and Gareth. Bell's side. Donn thinks it's a bit hard for him to play in the Premier League after playing in England's third tier. Mattok may be talented, but it will take time to hone it.

Victor. Moses was not bad, and his body and speed gave him an advantage in the race. Forcing a break with speed and leaning on a defender in front of goal to shoot are both done quite well and can be included in the rotation.

If nothing else, Nottingham Forest's forward roster for the new season includes Kic, Eastwood, Abonlaho and Niklas. Milan and Victor. Moses. The first three are the players that Donn mainly relies on, while the latter two will wander through the reserves and first team, gaining experience and improving through the game. What position they can ultimately occupy in Forest's first team will depend on their own performances.

Abang Lajo, who spent Donn's most money this summer, didn't disappoint him, and the speed and impact of this kid's forward line is indeed a very sharp dagger. He started all four warm-up games and played a full game. A total of six goals were scored. In addition to this, Donn also tried to make him a winger, and as a result, he also delivered an answer sheet that Tangen was satisfied with in this position. Whether it's a break, a cross, or a shot, it's great.

Best of all, Abang Laho has publicly stated on more than one occasion that he trusts Ni. Done's ability, he says he won't regret the move from Aston Villa to Nottingham Forest, and he believes that sooner or later he will be at the top with Donn.

Such a statement made Don very happy. The people who stay when the team has problems are the ones who deserve his attention, and the players who deliberately switch in when the team is in trouble need his attention.

※※※ In Wilford, this summer seems to be a summer for young people.

Just when Donn was preparing for the new season with the first team. North Wilford have also welcomed a new batch of Under-18 players.

Every summer, this group of selected players from all over the world is sent to North Wilford, where they will receive the most formal training with the aim of becoming a professional footballer or a first-team player for Nottingham Forest. There are mediocre and talented ones, but the difference in talent will not have any impact on their future except for a few more glances at the coaches. A lot of what determines whether a player can really succeed is not really about talent, but about hard work and training.

Each year, the Head of Academy gives the first-team manager an up-to-date list of young players, which highlights a few talented players to focus on. But how many of these players end up in the first team? It's pitiful. Nottingham Forest has produced young people, and few can play for Nottingham Forest in the end. Donne has brought four young players to the first team this season, and it has become a big topic of discussion at North Wilford.

The young people who trained in North Wilford see hope.

Greenwood saw the new arrivals on the training ground, some of whom had grown up in Nottingham and had been trained by teams of different ages to come up with a number of good seedlings from scouts from elsewhere who had agreed to join Forest's youth team and train at Nottingham.

The representative of the former and the goal of the effort is George. Wood. The latter was targeted by Gareth. Bel.

Most of the players from the last youth squad have left the club, with some joining the reserve squad and the lucky ones joining the Forest first team. The rest ...... Or they can be sold to teams in other leagues, or they can terminate their contracts with clubs and fend for themselves.

"First of all, welcome to North Wilford." Greenwood stood in front of the kids with the coaches of the youth team.

"Secondly, your goal is not to stay here for the rest of your life, your goal is to ...... south," he pointed south, "and that's the training ground for the Nottingham first team. The glorious division that has won the European Champions Cup four times awaits you! But, I want you to understand that the gates are not as easy to get in as they are here. Every year we knock out a lot of people, and just because you're in the reserve doesn't mean you're in the first team. Don't think about anything but train hard here and impress me and the first team manager with your best performances! ”

"I've read your resumes, and I know all of you. I'm sure you guys are the best of your age. But you still need to prove it to me with real actions! You're not here for a hobby, are you? I don't want to tell you about George. The story of Wood's success here has been told by the media. I just want you to understand the hard work behind his success! Starting today, you will have the privilege of experiencing this hardship for yourself! That won't be pleasant for you, but I promise that when you succeed, you'll find that what you're experiencing here is not meaningless! Greenwood waved his arms vigorously.

Chen Jian stood in the middle of this group of newcomers. Although he had already started training in the last youth team, he was still included in the new youth team. Starting today, he is an official member of the youth team, he is from China, and he is no longer the "visitor" who was pushed by the commercial draft to only participate in training, but has no right to play for the team. All the hard work he has put in has a clear goal, and his performance in the game will not become a useless work that cannot be changed by any result.

He's going to be a pro!

No matter how much sweat and hardship you pay, no matter how tortuous the road under your feet is. None of this goal will change. Bet everything, do everything you can, and become a professional player.

He is a pawn who crosses the river, and there is no way back. You can't even look back, you can only move forward...... In addition to moving forward, or moving forward.

Walk to the end...... Checkmate!

*※※ Done received a new squad from Greenwood for his youth team. Several of the names of the thirty people were marked with red pens.

That means that Greenwood is bullish and may have the potential to succeed, and the focus needs to be on the young people who are growing up.

Nottingham native Lee. Alexander (lee_alexander), Darren from Bishacliffe. Williams (darren_illiams), Glasgow, Scotland. McLeod (andre_mcleod) ...... and Chen Jian (chen_jian) from China, thousands of miles away.
