David. David Moyes, who was the first candidate to reject the FA, said he was happy with staying at Everton and that it didn't feel like working in a different environment. What's more, being the head coach of the England national team is too tiring, being watched by reporters 365 days a year, not being idle 24 hours a day, and beware of those tabloids framing them, such as Chiefsmen and the like.

He didn't like that kind of life. So he openly rejected the FA. Subsequently, Everton also issued a statement on the official website, clarifying some previous rumors, saying that Moyes would continue to stay at Everton.

The FA has offered the new manager an annual salary of up to £8.5 million, which seems to make the position a coveted bait, but in fact it is a hot potato. £8.5 million is the annual salary to lead the team to win the European Cup, plus other rewards of one kind or another, the new manager of England can earn up to more than 10 million pounds a year. But all coaches are aware of how difficult it is for England to sit in this position.

Not only do you need to be famous enough to be able to hold down the big-name stars who have been spoiled by the media; You also need to have real talent and real learning, and stand up to the doubts of experts; In addition, you have to have the consciousness of an entertainment star, and you can't complain about being focused by the media with a magnifying glass all day long.

Stuart. Pierce also decided to give up the high-paying job after hesitating for a while, and in response to questions from journalists, he said that he would prefer to continue working in the Under-21 youth team, and that developing young players is the way out for English football.

The two men announced their withdrawal one after the other, leaving the FA in an awkward position - within the scope of local coaches, it is estimated that no one will take over the job.

They can only look overseas.

There are many excellent coaches overseas, such as Scolari, Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Hiddink, etc......

However, FA executive Sean. Barclays is still looking for a good coach in England. Foreign coaches are not easy to manage, and if they don't produce results in the end, the FA will be scolded "just because they chose foreign coaches". The local coach is much more obedient.

But Moyes and Pierce didn't appreciate it. In particular, Pierce, who was cultivated by the FA, retreated from the formation, and did not have the ruthlessness he had when he was a player. Much to Barclays' disappointment.

Just when I was bothered about it. He was surprised to receive a phone call.

"I'm in London now, I think we can talk about it in more detail......" said the man who said it. Dawn.

Don En was really tempted, and the FA was difficult to ride a tiger this time......

The English FA is struggling with a new manager, and so is Nottingham Forest. They had made an invitation to Mourinho, but Mourinho was not interested in them. It's not that the Nottingham Forest Miao can't keep his big Buddha. Jose Mourinho himself is a coach with a very unique personality, so he doesn't like to go to a team where another person has left a strong imprint, it would be too difficult to get off to that start. He had no interest in being anyone's second, and he didn't want to live in Tony. In Donn's shadows.

I found a circle of successful coaches outside. No one wants to come to Nottingham Forest. Hiddink agreed to coach the Forest, but he offered to let Evan Murphy take over. Dogotti couldn't accept that this amazing coach of the Netherlands should also serve as the head coach of the Dutch national team. Evan wasn't hiring a temporary worker, and he wouldn't allow two boats to be on this line, so Hiddink passed by Nottingham Forest.

There are other coaches who are interested in the Forest's place and are interested in that annual salary figure, but the Forest team is not interested in them. These people are generally second-rate coaches. Evan doesn't think they can handle the championship team they are now.

In the end, Nottingham Forest went into July and went through a lot of hard work to recruit Manchester United manager Martin Brown. O'neill. The former manager who came through Nottingham Forest is the most suitable candidate for the Forest team in all respects. Martin. O'Neill is capable. It also has a certain place reputation. And most importantly, he's more tempered than Tony. Don is much gentler, such a person is easy to discipline.

O'Neill's departure set off a chain reaction, and Manchester United stepped up their pursuit of Mourinho after losing O'Neal, and finally succeeded in convincing Mourinho to jump ship. Left Inter Milan and joined Manchester United. His arrival is officially considered by Manchester United to be the starting point for the Red Devils to rebuild their glory, and he will be signed with Liverpool Shankly, Manchester United with Alex Ferguson, and Nottingham Forest with Toney. Don is on a par.

Inter Milan had nothing to do but express regret. Manchester United were so desperate for talent that they even helped to pay Mourinho's liquidated damages. It seems that missing out on the title for several years in a row has made Manchester United, who are used to winning the cup in the Ferguson era, a little panicked. In order to get a good captain, they will do whatever it takes. Unscrupulous.

Inter Milan thought about going to the coach at this time, and they contacted Toney. It's a pity that Done has already made an agreement with the English FA - he is going to officially coach the England national team.

Now it is just a matter of waiting for the FA to officially announce the matter.

Talks with Barclay, and the two sides negotiated terms. Although the English FA is similar to the Chinese Football Association in some places, they will not interfere with the work of the head coach, which Don En is most satisfied with, and he doesn't care much about the rest. Some people are afraid of being watched all day long after becoming England manager. Don is not afraid. He felt that fighting with the sky and the earth was no better than fighting with people. Because fighting with people is endless fun.

That's the case at Nottingham Forest, with the England national team, it's pretty much the same.

The FA's thinking is that they have already said that they must find an English coach to lead LinkedIn Gran this time, and since Donn has taken the initiative to show favor, they have no reason to turn a blind eye or refuse. As long as everyone can agree, then let Don be the head coach.

The two sides hit it off, and as a result, the winner who had previously been the least favored by the media was chosen, and he came together with the English FA.

Two days later, the English FA will play Tony. Don held a press conference together to make the announcement official. At that time, this news will definitely make many people fall through their glasses.

Today it's Martin. O'Neill's first day at Nottingham Forest will see his team once. It was an ordinary meeting, but O'Neill was a little nervous and even uneasy. It's all because the first head coach of this team is really ...... The light is too much.

He and Don were not close to each other. But they are also friends. Because he has never spoken ill of Don in public, this is enough for people like Don to see it as a friendship. You know, I don't know how many people curse and insult Don every day.

Now he has to deal with the enormous influence left by his friends. He is also a successful coach, so he is naturally unwilling to live in the shadow of others.

Perhaps it can be explained from another angle. How difficult O'Neill's job is.

While waiting for the arrival of the new manager, the Forest players changed in the dressing room, but it was Tony who was still discussing. Dawn.

"I read yesterday's news that a reporter photographed the head with the old man at Barclays, you said the head didn't really want to coach the England team, right?" Bell asked.

"Who knows, I don't think it's likely. The FA hates the FA so much......" Mitchel said with a frown.

"Hey, what do you do so much...... I think we should think about the new Martin. What is the difference between Mr. O'Neill and the chief? ”

"What's the difference? That could be said to be a day and a night. The boss is the most special one. All-England ...... No, there is no second man like him in all of Europe, not even Jose Mourinho! ”

"Why did you say the boss left......" Bell asked again.

Now the chatter is gone. Someone even sighed softly. This is a question that has plagued many of Forest's players. They thought about many reasons, such as the boss's poor health, the boss's family problems, the boss's discord with the club's management, the boss's tired of coaching the same team for eleven years in a row, or the boss's betrayal of them......

Don has never explained the reason for his sudden resignation in the media, and there are a lot of rumours outside, some of which are still close to the players' speculation, making them all feel confused and don't know who to believe.

Tony. The effects of Donn's abrupt resignation are still felt today. Some of them still don't understand why the leader chose to leave suddenly at that time, but they can clearly feel that once the leader leaves, the team seems to have lost something very important, and it is not easy to gather together.

Before O'Neill came to Forest. Kompany had already been sold to Italy by Allen. Without Donn's obstruction, Alan can sell whoever he wants, as long as the other party can afford to make him feel excited.

Immediately after being sold was Layton. Barnes, he went to Everton in the Premier League.

These two people are Alan. Adams brought in £27 million. If Don is here. He's bound to be Alan. Adams scolded the bloody dog, but no one could stop the merchant now.

There is frustration within the Forest squad with the top brass for ousting the head and selling two of their team-mates, and there is already a growing loss of faith in the team. Ironically, just two months ago, when the team won the great treble, becoming the only player in European football for 15 years, they must have thought they could continue to make great achievements. Become the strongest team in a united Europe. If football also learns that the NBA has championship rings, when everyone retires, ten fingers are definitely not, and even toes are not enough...... What a wonderful future that is!

Rome wasn't built in a day, but if it collapsed, one night would be enough.

The dull atmosphere in the locker room was broken by one person.

"Don't grind, don't let the new coach think you're all professional players who like to be late. "Talking George. Wood, he's changed into his training clothes. Standing at the door of the locker room, he looked coldly around the room, his teammates.

He seems to have recovered from the blow of the leader's departure. Poor performances at the World Cup are a thing of the past. He's still the hardest working guy in training, and he's talking more now than before. It's just the expression on the face...... Growing apathy.

No one dares to compete with George like this. Wood was against him, not even looking at each other. A group of people hurriedly lowered their heads and hurriedly changed their clothes and sneakers. Some of them had already changed their shoelaces and tied them again, as if they could tighten them a little tighter.

Then the players rushed out and walked to the training ground in twos and threes.

Over there. David. Chris Rac is playing against Martin. O'Neill explained the basics. He's trying to avoid mentioning Tony. Donn's name, he didn't want the new head coach to have any superfluous ideas.

“…… We sold Kompany and Barnes before, but thankfully, they are no longer the absolute mainstays of the team. Pepe and Woodgate could be the main centre-back pairing, with Gareth at left-back. Bell and Joe. Mattok. Bale can attack and defend well, and Mattok is younger and has more potential...... Although our backline is the best in England, I think it would be nice to have another quality substitute goalkeeper...... Thiago is a little old. The decline in form is fast, and he didn't get many opportunities to play last season. Toney has said that if the team wants him...... Belch. He stopped suddenly, as he realized that he had inadvertently mentioned the man's name.

O'Neill smiled casually, "Tony is right. Some people don't have to stay in the Forest team all the time. Forest is the most united team in the Premier League and has the most harmonious atmosphere in the dressing room, but it doesn't mean that we are a nursing home, and it is also a public welfare nursing home. ”

Chris Lak mentally sighed that O'Neill seemed to get along very well, and continued to introduce it.

By this time, the players had all arrived on the pitch, and they gathered on the other side to do warm-up activities under the guidance of the physical trainer.

O'Neill was on the sidelines listening to the assistant coach's introduction. While quietly observing.

For the first time, a team that has swept across Europe and feared their enemies has a new captain, what gift will they give themselves? How long can you stay on this ship? O'Neill didn't even think about it. There's only one person in his head – Tony. Dawn. He was trying to get his mind as close to Don as possible, speculating about how Donn would lead the team, so that he could find the fastest way to integrate into the team and turn the team into Martin. O'Neal's team's approach.

Wait until the team is done warming up. O'Neill walked over and greeted them, "Hello, gentlemen. I'm your new coach, Martin. O'neill. I'm sure you've all heard my name, right? ”

One of the players burst into laughter. Others were muttering, "What did he call us?" 'Gentlemen'? ”

"It's awkward, I still like 'guys'. ”

"Shhhh Be careful not to let him hear ......"

In fact, O'Neill heard it all, and he had a smile on his face, but he made himself act as if he didn't hear it at all.

He had a joke on his face, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. It seems that there is no way to make this team its own......

The Forest players didn't yet know how the new manager differed from his predecessor in terms of personality and temperament, but they soon learned about Martin. Coach O'Neill and the leader are conveniently different in leading the team in training.

Donn always likes to leave the specifics to the rest of the coaching staff, he just stands by and observes. Come out once in a while and say a few words. He looks cool in a suit and leather shoes and sunglasses.

O'Neill, on the other hand, wore a tracksuit and demonstrated in person during training. It obviously has something to do with the fact that he used to be a great footballer. Judging by the training effect, O'Neill is better than Tony. Donn is outstanding, at least some players think so.

Among the Nottingham Forest players is the die-hard "Tony. Don faction", they will look down on people and coaches who are unexpected, although they don't make trouble for the new coach on the surface, but their hearts are full of contempt. Just waiting for the new coach to make a mistake. It also becomes a handle that they can cover.

The diehards were reluctant to admit that O'Neill was better than Donn in training, and they felt that O'Neal's on-the-spot command and mental ability must be inferior. Anyway, football ultimately depends on the outcome of the game. And not the training effect.

After the morning training, everyone left with their own hearts. Martin. O'Neill went to meet his immediate boss, club president Evan Brown. Dogety.

"How did it feel on your first day at work, Martin?" Evan asked with a smile.

'It's good, everybody's working together and it's a really good team. "O'Neill didn't tell the truth, he lied to cover up the trouble.

Evan smiled and shook his head, "Don't lie to me, Martin. I know the team, they're like Tony. Don's temper is the same, stinky and hard. He didn't show a look of disgust on his face, but smiled as if he were joking with an old friend. "I think some of them don't believe in you, but that's okay, they'll know if you win a few games. The Nottingham Woodlands tradition is simple – victory is ten million times stronger than sweet talk. ”

Martin. O'Neill muttered in his heart: It's ten million times harder than sweet words.

At this, Evan shrugged. It occurred to him that this tradition didn't last long, because it was Tony. Donn brought to Forest. Sure enough, this man's influence is really everywhere in Nottingham Forest...... Like the ghost of the castle, the ghost lingers. He was a little uncomfortable, changed his expression, smiled lightly, and said to O'Neill:

"You can draw up a list of purges, we have to rebuild the team, except for the core players, you can do whatever you want. ”

O'Neill was a little surprised to hear the club president say this. He looked up at the man in front of him, his eyes full of puzzlement.

'If you want a team that's all your own, I think a proper purge is necessary, Martin. It's time to reshuffle the deck. ”

O'Neill was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll give you a list when I observe for a while." Including people who need to be sold and bought, there's all there. ”

With that, O'Neill said goodbye to Evan. Dogety, left the chairman's office.

Standing outside in the sun, he suddenly understood that Tony. Why did Done leave Nottingham Forest at such a glorious time, there are few managers who have the energy to compete with the club president, and there are very few old monsters like Alex Ferguson. When the president of a club interferes too much in the affairs of the team, it means that the team is dangerous.

It's true at Manchester United, it's true at Nottingham Forest. It seems that successful club presidents feel good about themselves.

How long can he last in such an environment?

O'Neal doesn't know, he can only hope that he can use one victory after another to regain his own voice and regain his rightful place in this team.

Just like his predecessor did, one victory after another, keep running forward, there will be no chance for you to stop and catch your breath, no matter how tired you are, you have to grit your teeth and keep running.

Luckily, I don't have a heart attack.

O'Neill shook his head and walked to the parking lot.
