The Forest's red bus stopped at the designated place, and when Donn led the players down, he found that the fans gathered around him were all Forest fans in red jerseys, who had come here to support their team. Although the match only gave them about two thousand votes.

Donn saw Michael at a glance, the guy he hadn't seen since that FA Cup. He put his hand to his mouth and made a shushing gesture at Michael. Michael pretended not to see him with a straight face, and Don laughed and followed the players into the side door of the stadium. Behind him, the fans chanted: "Forest! forest！ nottinghamforest！！ ”

Amid the shouts and singing of fans on both sides, the team entered the locker room, ready to change clothes and warm up. Because Donn was out of ban, he couldn't take half a step on the pitch, so he had to stay in the dressing room for the team to warm up.

"You've only got twenty minutes!" Walker kicked the players out of the locker room like a shepherd. He looked back at Donn, who was sitting in front of the tactical board in thought, and then pulled the door open and went out.

Hearing the sound of the door shut, Don En came back to his senses from his contemplation. Walker must have thought he was thinking about tactics just now, but in fact what he was thinking had nothing to do with this game. Too many things have happened in the past half a month, one after another, as if a roaring train is coming towards him, so that he has no time to calm down and sort out. Now that there is no one in the dressing room, he can think about his situation and his future.

But just then, the door opened again. More recently, Ian; Boyd. Don was a little surprised that he showed up in the locker room, apparently the man hadn't come back to look for something.

"I have something to say to you, Tony."

"I have something to say to you, Ian."

The two immediately realized that they had thought of going together. Don smiled, then motioned for Bowyer to speak first.

"Well, I decided to leave the team at the end of the season." Bowyer's first words startled Donne.

"What?"

'Hereford 'United invited me to coach and I said yes.'

Don opened his mouth wide and looked at Bowyer standing in front of him with a surprised expression: "When did it happen?" ”

"A week ago."

Hearing this, Don En slammed up from his seat, "Ian, you can't do this...... The team needs you! "He also wanted this old man to assist him, but he didn't expect to hear this bad news." Your experience can lead them forward......"

Bowyer shook his head: "Wrong, it is you, not me, who can lead them." ”

"Uh, are you still mad about that?" Don asked cautiously.

The other party laughed: "Tony, you really broke your brain." ”

"Huh?"

"Do you know who I have the best relationship with in the team?"

"Who?"

"Paul, Paul; Hart. ”

Donn looked at Bowyer with the eyes of an alien.

"Paul often mentions you in front of me, and he really thinks highly of you. But I disagree with him about the decision to let you take over as first-team manager after the New Year. Bowyer was telling the story, but Don seemed to be listening to the story. I have to admit that I would love to be the manager of this team and I think I have what I have. But the most important reason is that I don't think you're ready. I know you very well, and neither does that little guy of Des. To be honest, if it were you before the New Year, I was adamantly against it. I don't think you're qualified enough to be the manager of this team. Your first game was a terrible one. ”

Donn thought of the scene when he was knocked to the ground by Johansen, and he felt ashamed in hindsight.

"But...... Your performance next was an eye-opener for me. "Done knew Bowyer was referring to halftime and the second half of that FA Cup game." Maybe it was God's arrangement to make you fall to the ground, and he gave us a completely different Tony than before; Dawn. I saw in that half-time break the qualities you have to be a good manager. You know, Paul always has a good eye for people, whether it's a player or a colleague, and he thinks you can be a good manager, and I always dismiss that. Now I believe it. You really can. ”

However, Ian ...... "No matter how much Bowyer tried to put his top hat on, Don was reluctant to let him go." Having an extra right-hand man by your side is better than being a bare-bones commander. Walker has just stepped down from being a player, and he can't be reassured as a coach, and he still has a long way to go to become a good coach. Think about the first half against West Ham, he didn't play well.

I can say that I have just arrived in a strange place, and such an experience is always insecure. And Bowyer can give him that sense of security. He needs someone by his side to remind him, teach him, maybe even criticize him, and in short, if he wants to be a real professional coach and not a tanuki substitute for the prince, he needs someone like Bowyer.

Bowyer is a very smart man. "I know what you're worried about, Tony. Rest assured, I'm going to wait until the end of the season before I leave. We have half a season before that. In addition, Des has a lot of experience and can help you mediate the atmosphere in the dressing room - although I think you are a master of mediating the atmosphere yourself. ”

Don looked at Bowyer and didn't speak.

"Even though I've been playing for the team for a long time, even though I'm respected by them...... But now I may not be a good fit for the Forest team right now. The closer Des is to them, the more harmonious the relationship between them will be. I'm a little out of date...... And you and Des are the ones who can lead them. Also, Herford gave me a chance to be a manager, and I would love to come back to Edgar; Sterrett Field. ”

Don still didn't speak.

"Okay, do you have anything to say to me?"

Don sighed, "I originally wanted you to stay...... There's no need to say it now. ”

"It's not that bad, at least half a season." Bowyer patted Don on the shoulder, then turned and walked out.

Looking at Bowyer's back as he went out, Donn muttered, "What a bastard, after half a season, the devil knows that I'm still not here......"

※※※

Twenty minutes later, the team was back and ready for the rest of the game. The pre-game tactical arrangements were still led by Walker, with Bowyer helping out and Donn remaining silent. Bowyer glanced at Don a few times, thinking he was still unhappy about his departure.

How did he know that Don was just taking this opportunity to study silently. He's told Walker everything he needs to say, and Walker will tell the team about it. When Donn feels like he can, he'll replace Walker himself as the real head coach. But not right now.

After studying their opponents, the coaching staff decided not to make any special arrangements for the game and to play with the team's usual tactical line-up. After listening to this arrangement, Don didn't say anything, and acquiesced to the work of this coaching staff. In fact, he doesn't know what he should say, the members of the coaching staff are professional coaches, what are they?

He decided to watch the half-time first, as he did against West Ham, and then make adjustments at half-time. From that match, Donn not only gained a lot of confidence, but also discovered a strong point in himself, and he was better at directing on the spot than in the pre-match arrangement. He likes to kill the other person by surprise.

The pre-game preparation time passed quickly, and Walker wanted Donn, as the head coach, to make a final remark that he meant to make it clear to the players who was the real leader. But Don looked at these expectant eyes, a little stupid, what should he say?

He suddenly thought of the game on the fourth day, the warm atmosphere in the stadium, and the fighting spirit of the players on the field.

"Remember the last FA Cup game, right?"

The players all smiled and nodded, and some even clenched their fists.

Don opened his arms, "What else do I need to say?" Just like that, go to the game! ”

※※※

When the players had all run out of the dressing room, Don was the last to walk out. When I went out, I saw two well-dressed men standing at the door, "Mr. Donne?" ”

"Ah, it's me." There's something strange about Donn.

"We are the ...... of the FA Disciplinary Committee"

Hearing such a long list of names, Don moved his head closer. "Is there such an agency?" Seeing that the other party was not good, he hurriedly laughed, "Just kidding! Of course I knew there was such an institution! What are you looking for from me? ”

These words stunned the other party, and Tang En quickly laughed again: "Just kidding, of course I know what you are looking for me!" I'm not going to go to the pitch with them......" Donn said, pointing to the players who ran out.

The two nodded, "We're in charge of overseeing your ban, so we're sorry you watched this game with us." ”

Don screamed. "Isn't there a beautiful staff member of the Disciplinary Committee?" He thought of Faria; Alam, although he didn't think that woman was beautiful at the time, at least she was better than the two big men now. "Of course, that's a joke too. I'll be with you guys......"

He patted them on the shoulder, signaling that he was friendly and didn't need to be too nervous. "Let's go."

"First of all, sir. You need to turn off all communication tools such as your mobile phone. ”

Don pulled his phone out of his arms, removed the battery very simply, and showed it to the two of them until they nodded.

"BP machine?"

"Dude, it's the twenty-first century." Don shook his head impatiently.

"Walkie-talkie?"

"Listen man, I'm a football coach, not James; Bond. If you were to ask me if I had a wireless Bluetooth walkie-talkie, a pinhole microphone, a phone disguised as a lavalier, sunglasses that were actually a microcomputer, leather shoes that could be used as a pistol, or a pen...... Something, my answer is: not even any! Don was annoyed by the inquiring attitude of the other side, and he shook off the two FA men and walked straight to the stadium stands.

Behind him, two FA staff members dressed as "men in black" looked at each other, then shrugged their shoulders and quickly followed.
