Being drawn to Inter Milan was just a good thing for Donne, and the bigger joy had nothing to do with football – Shania was finally back.

Donn, a bachelor, thinks that he only has football in his life and that he doesn't care about anything but football. He is crazy about football, no less than the most die-hard fan. So after he became the manager of Nottingham Forest, apart from going back to the bar for a drink, he was really no different from Don in other things. When you're not drinking, you can lock yourself up at home for a whole day, close the curtains and watch the video of the game, study the various notes left by Don, and you don't notice that time is passing and you can't even notice when you're hungry.

But when he got married, half of his love for football was given to his family and to his wife. Now he feels that there is one more thing in his life that is as important as football.

Shania was glad to be back, and when she returned home after a long day's work, there was no longer just an empty and lifeless concrete building.

Before he got married, Donn worked hard because he loved football and loved the job. After getting married, he worked hard because he had a responsibility on his shoulders - a man has to support his family...... Although Shania earns no less money than Tang En, as the most authentic Chinese, Tang En still has some traditional Chinese men's thinking in his bones, thinking that men should support their families, which is the purpose of work.

There is a high hall, there are children below, and there is a wife by your side, even if you work hard, you feel that it is worth it.

Shania didn't leave until May when she returned. They have four months to enjoy the world for two. Don had to make up for all the time he had owed.

One of the important programs is naturally the creation of people.

Don and Shania have both been married for almost two years, and both of them are working hard, but Shanya still hasn't responded. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard......

The first game after returning from the draw ceremony was the FA Cup, and some media asked about the draw before the game, worried that such a bad draw result would affect the performance of the Forest team. Donn denied it was a "bad" result, and he went on to lead his side to a 2-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup fourth round, proving that the media speculation was unfounded.

In the following league game in February, Nottingham Forest remained unbeaten with two wins and two draws, and remained third in the league. The gap between the top five in the league is not huge, and it doesn't look like a surprise that any of these five teams will win the title by the end of the season.

The reason for the two wins and two draws is that Donn's new tactics still need time to adjust and adapt, so the team's performance has also been up and down.

However, Don did not particularly attach importance to the league, and even the FA Cup was voluntarily abandoned in the fifth round. As the Champions League approached, he began to have reservations in the league.

After all, he has already said a lot of things in front of the media, and if he loses to Inter Milan next, this will be a big loss of face......

March 1 is the day of the away game against Inter Milan. For Tony. Don said that this was a "big talk".

The team departed from Nottingham three days early and arrived in Milan by plane. The city is no stranger to Donn, and to many of the current Forest team.

When Donn led the team here to play against Inter Milan, he also struggled to explain to Shania that there was nothing between him and Gronia. Now that I think about it, I realize that he has cared about Shania since then?

Among the Forest players, the midfield has changed the most, with Thiago, Shaheen, Cohen, Bentley and Fernandez all having experienced the last big game against Inter Milan.

The reason why the media is not optimistic about Nottingham Forest's Champions League prospects this season is because in the midfield, Nottingham Forest's strength has dropped too much......

The former Forest midfielder was definitely world-class, with George. Famous stars such as Wood, Van der Vaart, Ribery and many others. Today's Forest midfielders are much less star-studded and more civilian. Look at Tony. Donne's implementation of the double back and 4231 formation, even if they increase the number of midfielders, still can't get rid of the evaluation of "blue-collar midfielders".

In contrast, Inter Milan's midfield is much more luxurious. Cambiaso, Vieira, Muntari, Stankovic, Montolivo, Mancini Jr. and Quaresma, Mario. The midfielders of Balotelli and others are much more famous than Forest.

The comparison on the front line is even more pitiful......

Nottingham Forest don't even have a recognised world-class goalscorer, and Ruud van Nistelrooy is considered world-class, but he is not in Forest's Champions League squad and cannot be compared. Eastwood's fame is confined to the UK, and even if he once won the bronze boot in the Premier League's top scorer list, it doesn't mean much.

Ibisevic is just a bright shooting star, Abang Lajo is a typical rough guy who has no skills and can only rely on speed, and Eastwood's injury too many have affected his pace towards the world.

Then look at Inter Milan – Ibrahimovic, Adriano and Giuseppe, who moved from Villarreal this season for £15.25 million. Rossi, and Cruz who came off the bench to score goals.

Even in terms of Donne's proudest defensive line-up, Inter Milan are stronger than them.

Argentine "rocks" Samuel, Niklas. Burdisso, Ivan. Córdoba, Christian. Zivu, McConn, Maxwell, and Javier, the 38-year-old but still in good form. Zanetti.

Which of these people is not a well-known figure in international football?

In contrast, Nottingham Forest only have Pepe and Kompany who can handle it. Woodgate, Barnes are limited to domestic well-known. Raphinha has always been a fringe figure for the Brazilian national team, occasionally being selected and left out, but it comes down to a better option for Dunga at right-back. Not to mention Zim Bonda, Joe. Mattok and Nkuru are at best hopefuls and will need to prove their ability at a high level to be recognized.

It's no wonder that everyone is not optimistic about Nottingham Forest.

If Nottingham Forest have any advantage over Inter Milan, it is perhaps that their players are younger......

The foreign media are generally not optimistic about Nottingham Forest, but the local media in Nottingham are optimistic about Tony. Donn's side are confident. Their confidence comes from the "history" of the few seasons that have just passed.

In fact, when Nottingham Forest's two most glorious seasons, their squad was basically like this, they were not superior to any of the big teams, but why did they win the European Champions Cup instead of AC Milan and Chelsea? On the way to the title, they have beaten Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Arsenal...... and other strong teams, is it all the other party deliberately releasing water?

Nottingham Forest fans are like those fanatical religious believers, believing that nothing as long as Tony is able to stump him. The person in this world who can make him surrender and admit defeat has not yet been born. As long as the person sitting in the dugout at Nottingham Forest is him Tony. Donn, then no matter how strong the opponent is, Nottingham Forest will not lose.

With two days to go, the Nottingham media are already hyping up the concept of 'revenge'.

No Nottingham Forest fan will ever forget that game two seasons ago, Toney. Donn was forced to leave his coaching position due to a heart attack, and Nottingham Forest was suddenly left without a leader. Don, the acting head coach, has already exhausted all his energy just to stabilize the team in the league, and he has no heart to think about the team's future in the Champions League.

In those two games, Nottingham Forest lost to Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan in both the result and the pitch.

Mourinho is like an infatuated man who has been waiting hard for the bride to marry, but when he lifts the red hijab, he finds that the bride sitting on the edge of the bed is not the beautiful lady he thinks, but someone else. So the surprise turned into humiliation, and the humiliation turned into anger, and he vented this anger on poor Don......

Those two games have not been mentioned by most Forest fans until now, because they were too embarrassing and embarrassing...... The spirits were completely lost, and the players' performances on the pitch made people believe that they must have been waiting for the whistle to blow from the first second.

If Don had been there, he would have scolded his team in the locker room, like a gangster who stripped off his clothes and pressed under him, and forcibly annihilated him, and did not forget to take the initiative to cater to the woman who enjoyed the pleasure. Then maybe another heart attack will just hang up......

Fortunately, he was carefully cared for by Shania at that time, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the team's mess.

But afterwards, in order to test the extent to which his heart had recovered, Don specially found the video footage of the two games at that time. After reading it, although my body was fine, I was really angry. Mourinho really didn't save face at all, a 2:0, a 3:0, and a total score of 5:0 swept the defending champion. The biggest defeat since Donn took charge came to Jose Mourinho.

How could such a shame be as if it had never happened? Laughing and grudging when you meet? That's not Tony. Donn's style. His style is - even if you turn to ashes, I know you!

Therefore, this time, Don did not mind the media hyping up the concept of "revenge", and he was not afraid of bringing psychological pressure to the players. He even wished that the players were under pressure, and that they wouldn't be able to play the game without pressure......

At the first press conference in Milan, Donn clearly agreed with the "revenge theory" of the local media in Nottingham: "Yes, we are here to seek revenge. Please tell Mourinho in the Italian media - the Tony he can't win. Don is here again! ”

His smile is full of confidence, and his attitude is extremely arrogant. He wants to let the Italians, who have been tossed by a Mourinho, know that the masters from England are not easy to serve!

At the press conference, Donn and the reporters exchanged words against those who were not optimistic about him, trying to prove that his team was the best team of the week, and there was no one.

If the media still didn't believe it, he spread his hands: "After the game, you will know if I am telling the big story or the truth." ”

After the "Big Truth" was released, Don En naturally had to be prepared.

This time, Don intends to continue using the 4231, but differently than before. The "2" is no longer two central midfielders, but a double midfielder. "3" is not a line standing on the top of the 30-meter line, except for the "1" in the middle to continue to play the role of the front midfielder, the attacking full-backs on both sides retreat to become full-backs, so that the formation is more layered, and several lines are not too far apart, resulting in disconnect.

With such an adjustment, although the attack power is not as good as before, the defense is definitely much more stable. There was a problem with the previous 4231 - George. There was too much space behind Wood and Thiago and there was always the opposition who took the opportunity to face the defence directly and conceded goals. Inter Milan's midfield strength should not be underestimated, and the fewer such openings, the better.

Now, Wood and Thiago are back in the back position, closer to their own back line, and although they are far away from the front midfield, there are two wing-backs in tandem in the middle, which are actually one. It can really be attacked, retreated, and defended.

With Wood and Thiago more defensively focused, the task of organising the attack falls to the midfielders. This time, Donn did not choose to use the more scoring ability of Fernandez as the striker, but decided to start Shaheen. Fernandez moved to the left as a wing-back, but he was a bit freer than Bentley on the right, somewhat similar to Franck Franck Ribery who became World Footballer of the Year at Nottingham Forest. After all, Fernandez and Ribery also have similar characteristics, and it is a bit wasteful to simply fix on the wing. The recent rounds of the tournament have been excellent, and there are already British media calling Fernandez "Ribery II".

Unlike Fernandez, who can pass and shoot on the left, Bentley on the right is more of a pure passer, tasked with dropping back and passing the ball forward to deliver the ball to the opposition goal.

At the top of the arrowhead figure is Ibisevic, who has been in good form lately and has no problem with his health. He's a striker with a lot of range of movement, and he's visible in almost the entire frontcourt, so it's perfect to be a lone arrow, because it's not easy to be killed by opposing defenders.

The team is in great shape, there are no major injuries and the morale of the players is high. Although facing Inter Milan, who had slaughtered them with an aggregate score of 5:0, this time there is a leader, and there is nothing to worry about!

This time, we're on the side of the media – that's right! We're here to smash the field and seek revenge!
