Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, the capital of Wales. What happened here this afternoon, Donn will remember every detail vividly years from now. Because it was his first championship and the starting point of his glorious journey.

He stood on the sidelines stunned, no one around him - all the Foresters rushed onto the pitch to celebrate the victory with eleven other players. He felt like his whole being had been hollowed out, and he was exhausted, and he couldn't go up and celebrate the victory with them. What does he want to do most now? It must be to find a quiet place where no one is around, then sit down and enjoy the joy of victory by yourself.

But apparently now he can't. There were loud cheers everywhere, and the stadium radio was announcing the winner of this season's English League Cup in a very loud voice. Each time, it elicited loud echoes from the Forest fans in the stands.

"The winner of the English League Cup in '03-04 is—"

"Forest Forest! We are the champions!! ”

While Donn was still stunned on the sidelines, his players and coaches ran off the pitch and lifted him off the ground and lifted him high above his head. The victory belonged to Forest, but without Tony. All the hard work that Donn has put into this game, then maybe now they will have to watch others cheer and celebrate. So who should be most thankful for a win? It's clear to everybody.

The people standing on the periphery couldn't squeeze in, so they could only sprinkle Tony, who hadn't finished drinking the water into the air. Don, his suit was drenched in rags. But he didn't care, it was a time to enjoy himself.

"The Forest players used this way to express their gratitude to manager Toney. Donn's thanks. Before Coach Donn took over, it was a team with no hope at all, sitting fourth from bottom in the league, losing six games in a row and being demoralized. But now...... They are League Cup winners! Congratulations to them, congratulations to them, Tony. Coach Donn has brought out a team that is extremely combative. It was something that his predecessor, Collymore, failed to do until he left, and it was a watershed moment in the fate of both coaches. ”

"Fourteen years ago, in the 1990 League Cup final, Nottingham Forest were in the final of their legendary coach Bryan Brown. Clough won the last trophy under his leadership. Now, under the leadership of another young coach, they have regained the Carabao Cup title after 14 years. Nottingham Forest fans have reason to expect more, and at Tony. Under the leadership of Coach Donn, this Forest team has a refreshing feeling. The First Division team defeated the super team, and they broke the upset! If Forest stay in the First Division at the end of the season, we will be lucky enough to see a team in the second division play in Europe next season! ”

"Martin, why aren't the Forest promoted to the Super League at the end of the season? It doesn't matter if you go straight up or through the play-offs...... After watching today's game, I'm sure the Forest team will be able to do it. "Andy. Gray seems to have become Tony. Donn's staunch supporters, "because they have a very different manager. ”

He thought of John. What Mortenson said to him: "Coach Donn is a very interesting guy, interesting in every way. ”

Sure enough, it's fun!

※※※ No one cares about the fate of the losers, and their mood at the moment. McLaren shook Donn's hand in a routine manner and walked back to the locker room. By the time the tournament organisers set up the winner's podium in the middle of the pitch, his team had already changed their clothes and reappeared on the sidelines.

At this time, Forest's celebration continued on the other side of the pitch near the Forest fans' stands. They were so excited that they didn't care about their opponent's psychological feelings at this time, and let go of the joy in their hearts. Television reporters followed them with cameras on their shoulders. And Tony. Don wasn't with them, and he was blocked by more reporters on the sidelines, taking questions from countless people. Pierce. Bruce is among them.

It's a treat that only a winner can enjoy, and Donn loves it.

“…… Yes yes! We are now champions! The spell of the South Locker Room is useless to us! Why? Because I'm broken! I'm not afraid of any spell, it turns out everything...... Popular? No, no, it's not an unpopular! Any team that reaches the final has the quality to win the title, I don't think the Premier League team is necessarily better than the League One team, that's nonsense! Who is better than whom? Whoever defeats who is stronger than whom! Don was so excited that he opened his mouth like this, and the reporters around him laughed. How long has it been since they have seen this kind of manager who does not give face to losers and opponents? How arrogant...... But we love it!

Not arrogant, no surname, where is the news? If we don't come to the news, what do we rely on to eat? While making a coach popular, he also fed countless news reporters, so why not do it in one fell swoop?

The Forest's celebration was quickly confined to a small area. Because the awards ceremony has begun. In order to show enough respect to their opponents, no matter how happy they are, they must wait on the side of the podium for the runners-up to receive their medals. At this time, you have to suppress your emotions a little.

The runners-up accepted the silver medal in a low-key manner to the applause of the Middlesbrough fans and walked off the stage in a gloomy mood. Then came the exciting time!

The stadium radio shouted: "Let's welcome...... Winner - Nottingham Forest!! ”

"Forest Forest!"

One by one, the Forest players walked to the makeshift podium to the cheers of their supporters and received the gold medal from the chairman of the league committee, Sir Mossiné, under a background sign that read "League Cup Champion 03/04". It's a moment that many people never dreamed of – they would win the English League Cup and play in the UEFA Cup next season!

When the first half of the season was still gloomy about their future, did they ever think about this day?

Who brought them such a glorious moment?

When Tony. As Don stepped onto the podium, the stands erupted in louder cheers than they had ever done before. All Forest fans know who has made such a difference to this team, and they thank him and adore him.

Don walked up to Sir Moses, and the old sir took his hand and smiled, "Well done, Mr. Donne." You have raised the image of the First Division in the eyes of the public! Congratulations, Coach Champion! ”

This is a very useful remark for Donn, especially the last sentence of the title of "champion coach".

"Thank you, Sir Mosesne." Don leaned over and asked the other party to hang the gold medal around his neck. Looking down, he saw a flash of golden light in his eyes, and his neck sank. This is a real honor, and it hangs around my neck!

I've got a title too!

The people who came out behind Donn to accept the gold medal were members of the coaching staff who worked hard to win the championship and they also had a share of the gold medal.

After the members of the coaching staff, it was George who walked up. Wood, Donn applauded him below, and watched with interest as he stood in front of Jazz at a loss. The other party took his hand and said something to him, but he didn't know what expression to use to answer, and he looked a little embarrassed. After all, he's still a bit of a shy big boy! Ha ha!

Then Wood lowered his head and asked the old knight to hang the gold medal around his neck, and he was quickly replaced by Wes. Mogan pulled in the excitement of his teammates.

That's good, Don smiled.

The last person to take the stage to receive the award was the team's current captain, goalkeeper Darren. Ward. When he took over the elaborate League Cup trophy from the Jazz, the atmosphere at Millennium Stadium was at its best. Red confetti and streamers were sprayed from behind the background template, flying all over the sky, and the classic "We Are the Champions" played in the stadium.

It's the song that Donn's favorite band sings to make him the most.

We are the champions!

"Congratulations to Nottingham Forest! They were the winners of the English League Cup in 03/04! They deserve it! ”

Donn and Ward alone grabbed the handle of the trophy and held it high!

It was a fantastic afternoon......
