Although Raul's form is not as good as before, and although Ronaldo is already fat and insincere, these two people are the kind of superstars who can decide the outcome of a match if they are given three seconds of time and space. There are no such players in the Forest team, and Donn can't guarantee that his players will keep an eye on Ronaldo and Raul every second of the 90 minutes of the game.

Not to mention, Forest's centre-back duo in this game rarely played together.

With the in-depth analysis, Donn felt more and more that it would be too difficult to beat Real Madrid with the current state of the Forest team, even if it was at his home stadium.

He went home every day and sat with Don to study the footage of Real Madrid's game, hoping to identify weaknesses that they could exploit.

'I don't think Real Madrid are invincible, but only if we have to score first.' Don said to Donne, "If you let Real Madrid score first, just wait to lose the game." ”

"Scoring first will guarantee the victory?"

"Of course not, but it can increase your win rate by ......," Don thought carefully for a moment and said, "Twelve percent." ”

"It's a frustrating analysis. Come on, I don't care about this mess. Regardless of whether you can win or not, or what the winning rate is, at least try your best in the game......"

Tang expressed a different opinion on this: "If you know that the winning rate is not high, you still have to spend so much energy to invest so much in this game, what are you going to do in this game? It's not a knockout round, there are still a lot of games in the group stage, and if you lose too much in this game, it will affect the ...... in the future."

Donn interrupted him: "This question cannot be considered simply in terms of the results of the game and the schedule...... In other words, it can't be considered simply from the football game itself. Do you know what this Nottingham Forest team has relied on in the past two and a half years from the Championship to the Premier League, from the League Cup to the Champions Cup? Strength? Of course we have the strength, but we're not at the point where we can do this kind of rocket-like ascension. Luck? Maybe, we don't have a lot of injuries and we're lucky. But the most important thing is that this Forest team has a spirit - the spirit of not admitting defeat. It is this spirit that has allowed the Forest team to achieve many things that no one else could have imagined. We are not afraid of any team, we will not admit defeat. Do you think I don't know the priorities of the event? Of course I know, but as a manager I have to be consistent, I have to keep that spirit for the team. ”

"There are some games where we don't have any hope of winning, and even at times like this, I want to rush my players: we can win, and we want to make those who swear that we are going to lose lick back their spit!" Don clenched his fists, and his forest team did nothing less than that. "And even if it's true that we can't win the game, we will be the winner in the end. I'm not going to insist on spiritual invincibility, but if a team doesn't even have that spirit...... Then Forest is no different from those teams who are struggling in the bottom of the league and only thinking about relegation. ”

'There's absolutely no way I'm going to tell my players – give up on this game and rest and prepare for the next game. Maybe that's true, but I can't tell. Because saying it means that I agree with this attitude, and when the game is in trouble, when we need to fight hard, my players will think of it, and then they will say that since there has been a precedent, then it's okay to give up this time, anyway, we have games to play in the future, and the manager will definitely agree with our approach...... It's a terrible thought that spreads like a plague. Don opened his arms and waved, "Then it will invisibly erode the fighting spirit and competitiveness of the players, and at that time this team will be finished, no matter how high the manager's technical and tactical level is, there is no way to take such a team." ”

"A team has to have a soul, and the soul of the Forest team is – knowing what you can't do...... And for it. ”

Tang En ended his speech, Tang looked up at him and was stunned for a long time, and then said slowly: "You do ...... ...... than me Fit...... Be the head coach. ”

As analyzed before the game, Real Madrid is still difficult to deal with even if it is full of internal contradictions. But Don was right about one thing – Forest scored first.

At the beginning of the game, the Forest team put on an unexpected all-attacking stance, which Real Madrid manager Brazilian Luxemberg did not expect at all. He thought that the Forest team would defend first against the mighty Real Madrid. Unexpectedly, the Forest team stunned Real Madrid with three boards in the opening game.

Real Madrid's superstars were a little overwhelmed by the aggressive attack of Forest's youngsters.

As a result, Casillas' goal was lost in the seventh minute. Ribery's goal set the pitch in the mood and Donn looked excited, as if he had seen the light of day.

However, after taking the lead, the rhythm of the game slowly fell into the hands of Real Madrid. After all, Pepe is not an authentic midfielder, making it difficult for him to keep an eye on Zidane, and the Forest team can only rely on physical strength and the advantage of sincerity and benevolence in local defense, which comes at the cost of their lack of time to attack.

After taking the lead, the Forest team was pressed and beaten by Real Madrid, and they were embarrassed.

Real Madrid equalised just before half-time, and it wasn't Raul or Ronaldo who scored, but midfielder David? David Beckham, the free-kick of the Full Moon Scimitar with the iconic surname.

David Beckham's popularity in England is really high, and when he scored, the City Stadium could even hear applause from the home fans.

In the face of this kind of conceded goal, Don really has nothing to do, before the game emphasized that Real Madrid can not give too many free kick opportunities in front of the penalty area, and his players have also implemented it seriously, in the face of Real Madrid's tidal attack, 45 minutes only gave Real Madrid two free kicks in the danger zone, the first Beckham flew away, and the second time he scored......

It wasn't a tactical loss, it was a loss to the individual abilities of the stars.

"David? David Beckham! Impeccable goal! Van der Sar has no choice! ”

Watching Beckham hug and celebrate with his teammates on the field, Donn thought that two years later, such a man would end his career in the American soccer desert, for whatever purpose...... It's still a pity.

In the second half, things didn't get any better, Real Madrid continued to dominate both sides on the road, and usually everyone didn't feel anything, but when Wood was absent, everyone felt the difference - it's not a matter of one person missing, it's two people missing.

Pepe can't guard against Zidane at all, he is too different from Zidane, and the requirements of the midfield are different from those of the central defender, and he plays very awkwardly.

Donn ripped down Wes? Mogan, let Pepe return to the most familiar and good central defender position, and then replaced a striker - Bendtner. In this way, the Forest team switched to 433, basically abandoning the midfield defense completely, hoping to rely on a frantic attack to suppress Real Madrid's arrogance, and score goals again, so that the situation can be turned in their favor.

He was halfway there. The Forest team, which had just made a change, did show momentum that the Real Madrid players did not expect, and they pressed back the Real Madrid attack.

In the face of wave after wave of attacks from the Forest team, even Real Madrid cannot be careless, after all, their defense has never been reassuring. Luxemborg's side began to focus on defense, and for a long time, the score did not change in any way.

It looks like the game might end in a draw, and if that's the case, Don thinks it's good, at least not to drop points first.

What is the difference between a big club and an average team? It's not that they're going to have a great manager, it's not that they're better than the average team, it's that they're going to have some superstars who can decide a game on their own.

In the last five minutes of the game, Ronaldo, who had been scattered for 85 minutes, suddenly started, successfully reversed offside, received Beckham's long pass from the back and burst into the penalty area, and then easily shook off Van der Sar and pushed the empty goal, the score became 1:2, and the Forest team fell behind at home.

"Five minutes! It's not time to finish the eggs yet! Don waved his big hand and let the whole team press forward, anyway, losing one goal is losing, losing two goals, and losing three goals is still losing. It's not a knockout game now, there is no rule of "double goals away from home", and if you press the whole line, you may be able to equalize the score.

Donne's goal has become to win the game and turn into an equaliser......

The result did not give him the way he wanted, and the truth was cruel, Nottingham Forest lost 1-2 at their home stadium to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are off to a good start to their Champions League season, while Forest's prospects of qualification have been clouded.

In his post-match press conference, Donn was unconvinced, insisting that his side had lost to two men – David Beckham and Ronaldo – implying that Real Madrid did not beat Forest.

'I admit Wood's absence has caused us a lot of problems. I'll surprise you the next time I go to the Bernabeu. ”

This is very, very in line with Donn's consistent style of not losing a game, but how many people take it seriously?

Some of the journalists in Spain laughed, and some in the media in England laughed. The former laughs disdainfully, the latter...... This is more complicated, because Pierce? Bruce was in the midst of the laughing crowd, too.
