Volume 7 The Heart of the Lion King Chapter 77 The First Victory
When England scored a goal with some luck, there was a huge boo from the stands on the Crimson Stadium, which surprised the English players who were celebrating. It stands to reason that the national team will not be treated like this when playing in any of its home stadiums. Why are they being booed?
They were mistaken, it was not them who were booed, but the one who was sitting in the coach's seat, with Erlang's legs crossed and expressionless...... No, it can be said that Tony with a straight face. Dawn.
In fact, Beal knew why Done was indifferent to the fact that England was ahead, after all, he used to be the closest fan to Donn, and he knew some of Donn's personality and character. He knew that Don didn't want to further irritate the Nottingham Forest fans and the Nottingham Forest players.
But because of this, Bill was even angrier.
He was angry at Donn's behavior.
You're gone, why are you pretending to be a good person in front of us? Why can't you just be a real badass once? So that we can vent our frustration and anger to our heart's content? You're gone, why are you afraid of offending us? You've been offended a lot, do you know? Tony! Do you want to return to the Nottingham Forest dugout one day? If you're coming back, why did you leave us in the first place? We, the fans who follow you, are in your eyes...... No, what exactly is in your heart? Can I just throw away toys and pick them up?
I'm sorry, Tony. We are living beings, and we also have our own emotions. You have made us happy, but no amount of joy can compensate for the damage you have done to us this time. When you decided not to renew your contract and have fun in Brazil, did you know how we felt?
The sky is falling!
Beal led his mates in the stands to "dedicate" all the frenzied boos to the man who had cheered and worshipped them.
Amid the boos, Donn lowered his head slightly, watching his toes wander.
Next to Des. Walker looked at him with some concern. It seems that he is afraid that he will not be able to stand such stimulation.
This man is really against the whole world...... In the past, there were Nottingham Forest fans who supported him unconditionally, but what about in the future? When his results are slightly unsatisfactory, Walker can imagine that the media will definitely make a storm of verbal criticism against him, and who else can support him behind him at that time?
"Don't worry about me, Des. I'm just thinking about whether it's time for a new pair of shoes. Don, who lowered his head, said suddenly. In the midst of the boos, his voice was still clear.
Walker withdrew his gaze and looked at the court.
"Martin. O'Neill must not have been willing to let this result remain until the end. He will make frequent substitutions in the future. We'll wait and see what adjustments he makes. Then decide how we adjust. ”
Donn said this, and Walker nodded, and he agreed to the arrangement.
'Until here, keep the team on the counter-attack. ”
Donn gave Walker the task of telling the team the latest instructions, rather than going out himself and delivering it to the team with a roar. Apparently he still had some scruples about those boos.
After a while of booing, the fans got tired and they refocused on the game.
Martin. O'Neill was indeed unhappy with the result. He feels that the current Nottingham Forest, even if he is on the bench, is stronger than Donn's England third-tier team. There's no reason to lose to such a team at home on your own home.
At the same time, he was also aware of the Evan. Dogetty must not want Nottingham Forest to lose in a game celebrating the opening of the new stadium, especially to Toney. Dawn. This is a game he has to win.
Although the players on the field were better than the substitutes, O'Neill decided to replace them all.
Pepe's foul made a thought pop into his head, if it had been left in normal times. He would just laugh it off. But today, in a game like this, in an environment like this, when facing such an opponent. He can't help but seriously consider whether those veteran Nottingham Forest players are loyal to the Forest team or Tony. What about Donn? If Tony. Donn had accepted Manchester United's offer, but how many of those men would follow their mentor from here to Old Trafford?
The idea was like a poisonous snake biting at his reason, and although he knew it was ridiculous, he was powerless to stop it from spreading.
He decided to replace players who were suspected of "collaborating", no matter how good they were.
And then on whom does he depend?
The substitutes, the youngsters who came from the youth team. They don't have much to do with Donn, they are eager to play, they are eager to prove their ability, they have fighting spirit and reason to fight more than those main players. Such Nottingham Forest is Martin. Nottingham Forest that O'Neill needs.
Pepe was the first to be substituted, and he was even booed by the fans when he came off the pitch, but he still raised his hands and applauded in the stands. Don watched quietly as he completed his farewell ceremony in this way, feeling sad in his heart. But there was no expression on his face.
He was replaced by Nkurou, a Cameroonian national. At 1.8 meters tall, he can play at right-back or centre-back.
And then Gareth. Bell was Joe. Mattok replaces.
After a minute, Aron. Mitchel was also off. He was replaced by Chilean striker Niklas. Milan.
Then Raphinha was taken by John. Bostock was replaced, and O'Neill changed formation by the way. From 442 to a more aggressive 352.
For fans who want to see the stars they are familiar with performing, such a substitution must not be satisfying. But O'Neal won't pay attention to what the fans think at this time, he doesn't want to lose to Tony. Donne, especially as Nottingham Forest's new manager, lost.
Not long after O'Neal's substitution, Donn's side also made a substitution. O'Neal believes he has no shortage of players who have the fighting spirit and the fighting spirit. There is no shortage on Donn's side. Every player he substituted on, he would call them aside and pat them on the shoulder, as long as they did well. It is possible to be selected for the next national team squad, when it will not be such a friendly match, but a real qualifier for Euro 2016 in Spain.
These players certainly know what that means and there's no reason why they shouldn't be desperate in this game. When the next time the national team is assembled, the league has only started for a month, and it is difficult to expect to impress the national team manager with excellent form in the league, and the most convenient and quick way is to perform well in this game, and let the national team manager see his ability clearly under the nose of the national team manager.
Perhaps some of them are not interested in the manager who has a lot of rumours from the outside world. But they all know one thing as professionals – no matter what you think of this coach, he is your boss now, he decides your fate in the national team, and if you still want to play in the national team, you have to please him.
O'Neal has changed almost all of his starting lineups, and Donn is about the same.
Both sides are very combative, and when they collide together, no one can help anyone.
By the last five minutes. O'Neill always stood on the sidelines, anxiously watching the pitch, he no longer expected to "win", he just hoped that the team could equalize and let himself "not lose".
But such a wish was not fulfilled either. Don sacrificed the stubborn **, replaced all the main players of Nottingham Forest's lack of experience, in the face of such England helpless, and finally the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Also announced Tony. Donn won his first game in charge of the national team.
The narrator was not very enthusiastic when announcing the result, as his most desired ending did not come to pass - Tony. Don was deflated.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, another boo rang out over the Crimson Court. In the midst of such boos, Tony. Don stood up and walked over to O'Neal, his face still not showing joy at winning.
"It's a shame, you could have won. Don said after shaking O'Neill's hand. If O'Neill hadn't replaced so many key players in one go, he might have allowed Forest to equalize or even overtake at the last minute. At least after Bale is down. Forest were suddenly without set-pieces and England were free to foul in dangerous areas without fear of being choked by the Welsh.
O'Neill may or may not know what Donn is referring to. Anyway, he didn't answer, just smiled, a little reluctantly. Then he let go of his hand, turned and walked away.
Don glanced up at the stands, where some people were leaving. Some were still booing him. He didn't know what the truth would be. What would those who booed him think, but he didn't want to give a retaliatory middle finger or something. That's so boring. One day husband and wife are still a hundred days, how can he say that he has also been worshiped by these people for a whole decade, and it is nothing to be booed by them today.
After the win, Don found himself suddenly much more open-minded and in a good mood, and he no longer bothered with those boos. And he knew he had messed up Evan. With Dogety's celebration, his little revenge has been satisfied, and there is no need to continue to be mean.
However, the reporters were very dissatisfied, and at the press conference later, Don did not show his big-mouth trait at all, and spoke like boiled water, except for polite words or polite words. Originally, the return of the former Forest manager to Nottingham was a very hyped news, but under Donn's uncooperative attitude, nothing interesting was squeezed out.
The reporters tried their best, but there was no way to extract anything of value from Donn's tightly closed mouth.
It was a normal question for a reporter to ask Donn to comment on his opponent's performance in this game, but in fact the reporter's intention was to ask Donn to talk about Nottingham Forest.
Don was not fooled, he simply said: "They are strong, and it was a bit of bad luck for them not to win." He then perhaps felt that it was unfair to the team he was coaching, and he added: "Of course, we did better. Victory deserves to be the team that performs better. ”
It was the first time he had mentioned Nottingham Forest in front of the media, and although it was only to answer a very ordinary question, journalists were encouraged. Another person stood up and asked, "George during the World Cup. Woodland is not in good shape, and you have defended him. So how do you think he performed in this game? ”
Donn looked at the reporter and then glanced at Martin, who was sitting next to him. O'neill. Laughed: "You should have asked Martin. Mr. O'Neill, the journalist. In today's game, George. Wood is his player. ”
O'Neill also felt a little embarrassed, he, the current manager of Nottingham Forest, was sitting here, but those reporters would rather ask Tony. Don is the one who left the company.
The reporter looked at O'Neill and sat down again. This made O'Neill very angry, but his cultivation was better than Donn's, and he forced the fire in his heart to be suppressed.
The next thing is for a reporter to stand up and ask Donn about Nottingham Forest. He pushed it all to O'Neill. O'Neill is also really self-contained, if those reporters ask him again, he also answers patiently with a smile on his face, and he is not in the slightest unhappy.
After the press conference, Donn grabbed O'Neill again and shook hands with him again. dragged others as a shield for a long time, and Tang En was also a little reluctant.
"I'm sorry, Martin. Don apologized to O'Neal.
O'Neill and Don don't have a bad relationship. So he couldn't snort like McLaren and the like, and walk away. only smiled bitterly: "You are such a person, I will encounter this situation with you, I have long been mentally prepared." ”
That's kind of a joke, right?
Don grinned and laughed self-deprecatingly. Then he looked at each other, and his expression slowly became solemn: "Later." Forest...... I'll leave it to you......"
O'Neill in and Evan. After Dogotti came into contact, he had already vaguely guessed why Donn had decided not to renew his contract in the first place, and even he himself was now unsure how long he would be on this team. He smiled, "I'll do my best, Tony." If you can't put it down. You can just come back and do it yourself. ”
Don laughed this time, said no more, reached out and tapped O'Neill on the shoulder twice, and turned away.
The news of Nottingham Forest's defeat to England at Crimson Stadium was nothing of a big deal, and apart from the fact that some Forest fans were more determined to hate Tangndi because of the defeat, the result of the warm-up game was nothing to be surprised about. It's just Tony that gets people interested. Donne's treatment on his return to Nottingham was followed by a few days of images and reports of him being booed at the pitch that repeatedly appeared in various media outlets, sparking much discussion. Hate Tony. Donn's people were glad to see that even his most loyal supporters had left him. Those who like him are indignant at what happened to Donne, but they ...... When Nottingham Forest fans start to turn against him, how many people will be genuinely indignant about his fate?
Don didn't care about any of that. After the team is finished, there is still half a month left in the league to restart. After the coaching team is formed, there will be no more national team games this month, and Don can take this opportunity to rest. When the league starts, he's going to have to be busy like a dog. I went to watch the game.
It was at this time. He saw this message in the Sun:
Pepe personally admits his intention to leave Nottingham Forest!
“…… Since being brought to Nottingham Forest from Portugal by Donn in the 05-06 season, Brazilian Pepe has become the heart and pillar of the team's defense. It doesn't matter who his partner is. He is the main central defender under Donne. Now, ten years later, Pepe is finally tired of everything at Nottingham Forest, and he admitted in an interview with this reporter that he intends to leave the team...... After successively selling Wes. Mogan, Thiago. Mendes, Kompany, Leighton. After Barnes, he was the first key player to decide to leave Forest, even a key player...... We don't know what kind of impact his statement will have on the Forest Club, so stay tuned for our follow-up......"
Don looked at the photo of Pepedi in the newspaper and was silent.
The iron-clad battalion and the flowing soldiers, how can there be a feast in this world that will not be dispersed......
