Readers in England who like to peek at other people's gossip quickly discover that the newspaper reports are all nonsense, because the same newspaper about the same news is completely different today and yesterday.

Reporters also felt that it was too much of an exaggeration to make it up, and they had to wait for the press conference the day before the game. They were looking forward to the press conference so much that while the Forest were still working on acclimatisation at Old Trafford, the excited group of reporters were already waiting in the press conference hall.

When the team finished acclimatization and walked back to the locker room to shower, Donn walked straight from the court to the press room.

In the heat of a hallway, Donn almost collided with someone who came out of the corner. Seeing the white on the head of the figure opposite, Don reflexively went to the other party, he thought it was an old man with bad legs and feet. Unexpectedly, when he picked up the man, he was surprised to find that the person who almost collided with him turned out to be Manchester United manager Alex? Ferguson!

It was such an awkward meeting...... The managers of two teams that are about to play each other meet in such a situation.

Ferguson looked down and patted the dust left on his body by rubbing against the wall, and looked up to see Don in surprise.

The two looked at each other for a moment before Ferguson smiled and said, "You must be regretting why you just put your foot away, Mr. Donne." ”

"I regret it now that you reminded me of this, Sir Alex Ferguson." Donn replied.

"People say Tony? Don is a coach with a lot of kung fu, and today I finally believed it. The expression on Ferguson's face remained the same, and the amazing thing was that the smile that had been kind now felt like a mockery.

What Ferguson is best at is playing psychological battles with opposing managers before the game, which is what he is good at. Kevin, who had a smooth sailing at Newcastle? Keegan was crushed by this mental blow and thus surrendered the league title. Think of the poor man nervously shouting on TV at the time: "If we beat them (Manchester United), we'll fall in love with them, fall in love with them!" "Playing psychological warfare with Alex Ferguson, the former European Footballer of the Year is clearly not an opponent.

The long-standing tale of him and Frenchman Arsene Wenger has become a Premier League icon, and now he wants to use it against Donne.

But he seems to have found the wrong opponent.

Donne smiled and replied, "I am the opposite of you, Sir Alex Ferguson. I never doubted your lip service. ”

The two of them stood in the corridor, feeling like "chess opponents".

Ferguson heard Don answer and nodded, "Mind going out with me?" He pointed in one direction, and in that direction there was a small noise.

This was not a signal that Ferguson wanted to shake hands with Donn, and Donn would not shake his head in refusal, he nodded.

When the managers of both teams appeared at the press conference at the same time, it immediately attracted all the attention of the media. The flash filled the small room, and for a few seconds the press room was a miserable white—a flash of ...... Ferguson was used to such a scene, and he walked to his seat with his head held high. Don was still a little uncomfortable, he narrowed his eyes, frowned and walked over.

Once both managers were seated, the press officer announced that it was time to go.

As soon as the press release official finished speaking, all the reporters raised their hands, and half of the arms raised in the uproar were aimed at what had happened to the forest team in the past few days.

When Donn heard the first reporter ask, it was clear to him.

"Hello, Mr. Donn. I'm from The Sun. I would like to ask if the news that has been reported in the media recently is true? ”

Donn didn't answer the reporter, but said to the reporters below who were full of anticipation: "Who else wants to ask about the internal dynamics of the Forest team in the past few days?" Let's bring it up together, and I'll give a unified answer. ”

As soon as the reporters heard Don say this, they all thought that there was a play, so they stood up one after another and threw out the long-standing doubts in their hearts.

Donn sat in front of the microphone, listening intently to each question, sometimes nodding slightly, as if considering how to organize the answers.

When everyone was done asking, he looked up and asked, "No one, right?" I'm going to talk about no one. You've asked a lot of questions, and that's great, journalists, who always like to ask questions. Now I have a question that I would like you to explain to me -- I summarized your questions and found something that puzzled me: why do some of the questions that make you wonder are the inside messages that you wrote yourself? Well, can anyone tell me what the reason for this is? The Sun asked me if the news was true, and I would also like to ask The Sun, if it wasn't true, what are you doing in your own newspaper?! Is it a waste of page and paper by the way? ”

Don really wanted to scold the group of reporters just now, but fortunately he held back, otherwise the FA's punishment would definitely not be able to escape. Although he didn't say foul language, his tone was much heavier, and I believe that if the reporters didn't have a problem with their IQ, they could hear the anger hidden in the words of the Forest coach just now.

'Today is a press conference about tomorrow's game, not a press conference after the last UEFA Cup game, so please be clear about that. When you're so morbidly concerned about the situation in the Forest's dressing room, have you thought about the owners here? Donn looked at Ferguson, who was sitting next to him.

In the eyes of reporters, Donn did this as a sign of respect for his predecessor, Ferguson. Playing away from home, such a statement makes sense.

Donn then said, "So let's focus on tomorrow's game. Manchester United is a great team with many great players. Alex? Sir Alex Ferguson is also a great manager, look at what he's achieved......

Listen to his words, how much in line with everyone's psychological expectations...... That's what almost every manager would say to reporters after arriving at Old Trafford, with the exception of Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, of course.

But then Donn suddenly changed his words: "However, Nottingham Forest are not here to worship the great Manchester United, we are here to play. There is only one purpose in the game, and that is to win. ”

The words were already clear, and Don closed his mouth. "I'm done talking."

Ferguson glanced at Donn, then picked up his words: "Yes, football is all about winning, and I agree with Mr. Donn on that. ”

Donn looked at Ferguson and smiled, and the old Scottish man smiled at him in return.

The secret rivalry between the two of them is endless.
