Although they lost a Champions League group stage, it did not affect the morale of the Forest team, and when they returned to the league, the Forest team defeated Portsmouth 2:O at the City Stadium, and in five league rounds, except for the third round was postponed, the Forest team won three and lost one, accumulated nine points, and was still in the first group.

The most surprising thing this season so far has not been Forest, and no matter how good the Dondee team is now, they can't surprise people because they all know that Forest have the quality.

However, Charlton's performance did not surprise many people - after five rounds of the league, Charlton won four games and won four games with one less game, ranking second in the league with 12 points, followed by Chelsea in the first place.

Surprisingly, Liverpool and Arsenal are two traditional powerhouses who sit outside the top eight after the start of the new season. Arsenal is ninth with six points from two wins and two losses in one less game, while Liverpool is in eleventh place with only five points from two games less, one win and two draws.

The impact of the Champions League on the multi-front battle has gradually become prominent, which is also a difficulty that Don needs to learn to deal with.

Forest's luck had just been to defeat Real Madrid when they bumped into a fish belly in the league and gave them time to breathe. Otherwise, the next intensive schedule will definitely make the Forest team suffer.

The fifth round of the league on August 19.

On August 22, in the sixth round of the league, Forest hosted Everton. David Moyes' side have been in poor form recently and Done doesn't mind falling down at this time.

Next. On August 25, in the seventh round of the league, Forest challenged Arsenal away. This is also the highlight of this round of the league.

Don noticed that Anelka had been very positive in recent training, and he thought it was strange at first, but then he saw the schedule and it became clear at once.

On August 25, in the seventh round of the league, Nottingham Forest played Arsenal away.

What exactly does Arsenal stand for in Anelcardi's career. Don didn't know. But he knew he must have made a deep impression on Anelka.

Looking at Anelka's desperate expression on the training ground, Donn smiled in his heart: It turns out that money is not the only motivation for you to play......

It is naturally impossible for the English media to give up hyping up this topic - what will happen when the Gunslinger returns to Highbury? The feud between master and apprentice, the mixed emotions of the fans, and what will Anelka do with Arsenal? Who's revenge on whom?

Asked at the team's weekly press briefing, Donn replied: "Of course I expect Nicolas Anelka to score, what coach doesn't want his striker to score?" Of course. I know Arsenal have a special meaning for Anelka and he would love to score in this game and I hope so. But...... I want you to pay attention to the ground opponent we are about to face, Everton......

Instead of listening to Donn, they are hyping up the feud between Arsenal and Nicolas Anelka, as if Forest's next league opponent is not Everton. It's the same with Arsenal.

On August 22, Forest welcomed their sixth-round opponents Everton at the City Stadium as scheduled.

It's no wonder that everyone ignores Everton so much, after the start of the new season, Everton has been unable to enter the state for a long time, and the blow of losing the Champions Cup qualification at the last moment of last season is a bit big for them, and a large number of newly acquired players have brought problems to the team's run-in, and the team has not been able to form a fighting force as a whole. Moyes had no choice but to watch as the league began, and Everton finished third from the bottom with one win and three losses, falling into the relegation zone!

This kind of poor performance. Let the fans of the Forest team think that there is no suspense in this game, and the Forest team will win easily. Sprinkle another handful of salt on Everton's wounds.

The truth is that Forest have been met with fierce resistance from Everton on their home turf.

Perhaps because they snatched their Champions League qualification last season, Everton was particularly motivated to see Forest. The whole court is pressed like crazy, and it is completely played at the expense of physical strength.

This was completely unexpected, as he did not expect Everton's previous performance to be so disastrous against Forest.

Everton's frantic pressing made the Forest players very uncomfortable, and even more uncomfortable with their psychology.

Forest players were scrambling by Everton and the formation was disrupted.

Eleven minutes into the game, Everton caught a mistake by the Forest player himself. Score the lead by one goal!

The city stadium fell silent, and this result made the fans also unexpected: they originally thought that the soft persimmon was pinched casually to Everton. Suddenly mighty! And then they took the lead away from home! This, this, this...... What's going on?

In this way, Moyes was telling Forest, who didn't take them seriously before the game, that Everton were not to be messed with! When everyone was talking about Arsenal and Anelka, Everton pulled everyone back from their dreams with a goal and told them that the harsh reality is that now Forest are one goal behind! ”

The commentator was right, Everton's goal brought the Forest players back to reality, and after conceding another goal, the Forest players calmed down, they were not in a hurry, they knew how to win the game.

In terms of strength, Everton are no match for Forest throughout the season, and David Moyes knows that, with the Dondee side improving day by day. But he hopes to get a win in a local battle, which can be regarded as revenge for last season.

Moyes thought so, and Don wouldn't let him get his way.

Just before half-time, Forest equalised by Nicolas Anelka. The Frenchman has become the central striker of the Forest team, and the team's attacking tactics are all developed around him.

Donn did what he said he would, Anelka kept scoring goals, and he became the heart of Forest's attack.

Anelka, on the other hand, has repaid Dondy's trust with a consistent goal.

It looks like he's on his honeymoon with the manager.

At the start of the second half, Anelka received a yellow card for a foul, which was actually an unnecessary foul. The opponent took the ball to make a lateral transfer in the center circle, and Anelka was so excited that he rushed up to hook the ball and the ball had already been kicked by Everton player Tim Cahill.

The referee showed Anelka a yellow card and no one took it to heart. The probability of a striker getting a yellow card is not high, and a yellow card will not affect his future swing.

In the second half, David Moyes adjusted his tactics and let his team drop back, but the pressing remained the same, and Forest's attack was not very smooth. Mikel Arteta often faced two Everton players on his own, conceding the ball frequently. In this case, Anelka also had to withdraw from the box and take the initiative to return to the midfield to ask for the ball.

The time passed by minute by minute, and the score was fixed at 1:1.For Everton, who have lost consecutive games, it is not an unacceptable thing to draw with Forest away from home, but for the ambitious Donn, it is not a good thing to be held to a draw by Everton, who have not been in good form recently.

He pressed his team forward and increased his attack.

The more Anelka is active, the more he is on turf and the degree is a big problem for Everton.

The time is slowly approaching the end, and the singing in the stands of the City Stadium has not stopped, still cheering for the team. The Forest team did not give up attacking at all, and Everton stopped attacking at all and retreated with all their hands.

They were determined to hold on to the point.

Anelka won't let them get their way, and the thought of the next game against Arsenal fills him with endless motivation. One goal is not enough for him to be satisfied, he has to score more goals in this game, to demonstrate to Arsenal, to Arsene Wenger, to Arsenal vice-president Dane. With more more goals announced:

I, Nicolas Anelka, am back! It's back in Highbury! This time...... I'm here to get into your balls, into many, many earths!

"Anelka has the ball now and he suddenly starts to shake Karsley! Right in the goal! ”

There was a huge cheer from the stands as the fans knew Anelka was about to start dribbling the ball again, which was one of the things Forest fans were looking forward to the most.

Nigerian centre-back Jabbo didn't dare to make a rash move, so he could only follow Anelka's forward pace and try to block the angle of Anelka's shot, and then leave it for other teammates to come up and form a siege.

Anelka saw Yabo's thoughts, of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to force himself into an encirclement, so he suddenly started again, intending to rely on the degree to eat Yabo, he didn't dare to kick Yabo, because now they had entered the big forbidden area.

Just as the wind swept past Jabo's side, the Nigerian stepped in......

Anelka saw the ball roll over, but he tripped under his feet, he stumbled and tumbled.

"Penalty!!" More than 20,000 Forest fans in the stands let out a deafening roar.

Don jumped up from his seat with his fists clenched.

The referee's whistle sounded.
