After Forest's erratic performance in the wake of Middlesbrough's defeat to Middlesbrough was revealed by the media, the first person to react was David Moyes.

He looked at the schedule of the Confederations Cup Forest team, and then it dawned on him.

The UEFA Cup winner is clearly more attractive.

Thinking about this, Moyes did not breathe a sigh of relief, but stepped up the training of the team, and he wanted to use this time to stretch the points of both teams to let Tony? Don couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.

Since losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup at the end of February, Everton have only one league goal left for the season. While the Forest team still has to deal with two fronts, they can get enough rest and be in the best fitness for the end of the league season.

Moyes, staring at Forest's schedule, shook his head and sighed. I really didn't expect that the young man I saw at the coach's reception a year ago who was at a loss for the future has become such a powerful character. It's funny to think that I let him coach the Championship team and give him a job...... At that reception, he also said that he was looking forward to meeting Tony? Don's showdown. David Moyes now believes that day won't have to wait long, as Nottingham Forest host Everton in the 31st round of the league on April 3. If they still can't get rid of the Forest team, this game is likely to be the final battle that will determine the final ranking of the two teams.

When it comes to Sporting Lisbon (sporting_club_de_portugal), Don Enco is no stranger to it - of course, only the name of the team is familiar, not all the players at Sporting Lisbon.

Don is not worried about Sporting Lisbon, he knows that Sporting Lisbon is no longer what it used to be, and it is gradually declining in Portugal, winning more domestic titles than Porto, and only winning one European Cup Winners' Cup in Europe, which was forty years ago.

Sporting Lisbon is no longer what it used to be, currently sitting fourth in the domestic league and without any big names in the team, seemingly just a normal Portuguese team.

The dream of Europe's highest honor made Donn's blood boil and he was fearless.

He doesn't feel at all a threat to the current Sporting Lisbon team. The only threats he may pose in Portugal are Porto, who still have Mourinho's squad, and Benfica.

But if Donn knows half as much about the UEFA Cup as he knows about the Champions League, he will know what Sporting Lisbon's final result in this season's UEFA Cup is - runners-up.

According to the UEFA Cup schedule, the first leg of the match between Nottingham Forest and Sporting Lisbon in the quarter-finals was played to Nottingham, and Forest will play home first and then away.

Such a schedule is the only thing Don worries. This kind of home-and-away turn-based game where the away goal advantage is calculated, and the away game at the end always doesn't feel very safe for Donn - he's more used to putting the worst first. If you play away first, even if there is any mistake, there will be room for maneuver at home in the end. There's no way to play the home game first...... When he wanted to devote himself to preparing for the match against Sporting Lisbon, he was annoyed by another thing. Ever since the media found out about George? After the "story" between Wood and Eastwood, they began to hype up the relationship between the two - are the two of them friend or foe?

In fact, careful people will always find that in the usual training, the optimistic Eastwood smiles at everyone, is very kind and easy to get along with, but when he is face-to-face with Wood, the expression on his face is a little cold.

After this discovery is amplified by the media, the effect is completely different. Unearthing the contradictions in a team's dressing room is something that excites countless journalists, and such gossip is better than reporting on Forest's performance.

Freddy? Will Eastwood be because of George? Did Wood break his own leg and hold a grudge?

George? Will Wood feel guilty for breaking Eastwood's leg? Or like Roy? Keane is so complacent about deposing Haaland? Aren't many people talking about George? Wood is the most like Roy in recent years? Keane's player?

But doesn't anyone think it's inconceivable that these two will be on the same team for a year?

It's not possible for everyone in a team to be very well on the same page, that's common sense. There will always be some misfits, so George? Who is Wood and Eastwood out of place?

No matter how you look at it, Eastwood is popular, but now it's clear that George? Wood is more popular with the club and manager Tony? Donn's favor. Which is more advantageous between players or high-level popularity, does it need to be said?

So after the "locker room turmoil" before the game against Manchester United, after three months, the Forest team made another "locker room turmoil". Some media outlets swore that they had inside information on a player from the Forest team, saying that George? Wood and Freddie? Eastwood didn't like each other in the dressing room, they never talked, they never joked, and they all tried to avoid facing each other in training...... It can be seen from this that the relationship between the two is very bad, and they are only one step away from turning their faces and denying people.

In fact, this time it's not that the media are making things up, those things are well documented, and careful people with a discerning eye can definitely see it. Just like every team has one or two players who don't have a good relationship, so people didn't pay attention to it before. Now the media is putting the story behind this -- George? Wood tackles Eastwood's leg - it explodes, and when everyone thinks about it, it feels like it's not as simple as they thought it would be.

They think it's like Roy? Keane and Haaland are unbelievably playing on the same team. Haaland used to laugh at Roy at the Manchester derby? Keane faked a fall and was an out-and-out liar. As a result, Keane held a grudge and finally gave him a chance to get revenge in another Manchester derby: when Haaland received the ball, Roy? Keane stomped on his knee from the side, kicking Haaland into the air at that time, and then Haaland announced his retirement directly because of this serious injury.

The hatred between the two of them is a household name throughout Britain.

Eastwood was also taken by George? Wood shoveled the almost retired. Although Wood never said on any occasion that he did it on purpose, no one ruled out that George would do so a few years later. Wood wrote his autobiography after he became famous, and then smugly announced that he did it on purpose...... Roy after all? Keane's example is erected in front of you, and the power of example is endless.

From the above, it can be concluded that this time the media is definitely not untargeted. But Donn just couldn't keep the slightest affection for the England paparazzi, because they had been so damn about the news...... At a time when Forest are about to face the challenge of Sporting Lisbon, the news media is keen to hype up the internal conflict in the Forest dressing room, doesn't this add chaos to Donn?

It's as if England's national team is preparing for an important moment like World Cup qualifying, while England's tabloids are hyping Eriksson's "Gate" incident. These sub-media outlets do not have the slightest journalistic ethics and quality to speak of, and they can do anything in pursuit of profits.

In some ways, Donn felt that the media in England had a lot in common with many of the media in China. In order to attract the reader's attention, he does not hesitate to exaggerate, sensationalize, fabricate, and even play pornographic marginalization...... Tang En thought of Sina Sports' King Kong Sect Master, that is really a god who needs to be worshipped, even if he has been in England for two years, he has never seen an English editor, reporter and columnist as talented as King Kong...... Off topic, anyway, when the media put "George? When the news broke that Wood and Eastwood were at loggerheads, Donn was very upset. However, for the sake of the team's current stability, he has been suppressing his anger and does not want to affect the players' preparation mood.

It's just that at the end of the routine press conference, Donn said in a bad tone to the group of reporters who wanted to find out some "hot insiders": "I'm disappointed that you didn't come up with something that made me feel bright, and you hyped George so much three months ago? Wood had a strained relationship with his teammates, and you're still like that three months later. I hope in three months' time you'll be able to come up with something new, or I'll get tired of it. People always have to learn to improve, don't they? ”

Although the journalists were taught a verbal lesson, the problem was not resolved.

Don also knows George? Wood and Eastwood don't have a good relationship, which he had anticipated when Eastwood first came into the squad. The media are at least right about one thing: if not handled well, it can indeed threaten the stability and results of the Forest team itself.
