Don was awakened by the bright morning sun. The open glass window reflected the sunlight into the bedroom, which shone right on Donn's face, and he suddenly felt a light in his sleep, and then he opened his eyes to see the clock on the wall showing that it was 9:40 at the moment.

Wiping the saliva from the pillow and from his mouth, Donn sat up. His head still hurt a little, he pinched his temples and couldn't remember how he came back yesterday, and he was still lying naked in the bed. He only remembered that he drank wildly with the fans, and he couldn't remember exactly how much he drank. I dug through my wallet and found that all the cash in it was gone. He smiled bitterly, it seems that he really drank a lot yesterday.

Jumping out of bed, standing in front of the window in panties, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, and the bright sunshine. Don had a smile on his face. It rained for several days, but it finally cleared. His tactical theories are well received, and the next thing he needs to do is to get that idea to take root in training, in games, and the players, the fans, the coaches, the chairman.

It's not an easy job.

Don raised his hand and reached out to the white clouds in the sky, as if it were a silver trophy.

"For the sake of victory...... Good morning! ”

With the winter transfer window closing in just a few days, the Forest saw off one of their team-mates. This is also the first transaction that Donn has completed since becoming the head coach and general manager. Jack; Leicester made up his mind to leave Nottingham early on, his contract still has one year to expire, he has not negotiated a contract extension with the club, and has long had a showdown with the club to leave, so Nottingham Forest's marketing department has been looking for a buyer for Leicester during this time. It didn't go well, but that FA Cup game changed everything, Jack; Leicester scored a very beautiful turning volley in the game that caught the eye of quite a few teams. There are four clubs making offers to Forest. In the end, Sheffield United, who are also in League One, won two years of ownership of Leicester for 300,000.

Don didn't have any surprises about Lester's departure. He knew that this man would have to leave sooner or later. Leicester is quite kind, at least he informed the club in advance that he would not renew his contract, giving the club a buffer time. If he quietly goes to find a home and then waits for his contract to expire before leaving, the Forest will not get a penny. 300,000 pounds is not much, but for a Forest team that has just experienced an economic crisis, every penny needs to be taken seriously.

However, Lester went to the training ground to thank Don when he was leaving, which made him a little unexpected.

As always, Donn stood on the sidelines in sunglasses and watched the team practice, mostly silent. The players are used to Donn's style and don't see him like a zoo monkey anymore.

Leicester, who had just announced his departure, did not attend the team's training sessions and went to the dressing room to take some of his own little things, which he should have left directly. But he turned back again.

He walked straight up to Don and blocked Don from view.

Donn took off his sunglasses, looked at Lester and asked, "Jack, what's the matter?" ”

"I'm here to thank you."

"Huh?"

Lester wanted to get used to calling Don the boss by his last name, but he quickly realized that he was no longer a member of the Forest team, so the boss didn't need to be called again. 'Yes, I thank you for what you said to us at half-time against West Ham. You see, I listened to you, played for myself, and now I've got a decent contract. He spread his hands. If you hadn't reminded me, maybe I'd still be a fool of myself. ”

Tang En smiled: "That's good, are you still willing to listen to my words for you?" ”

Lesette nodded.

"No matter where you play in the future, remember: you're a professional and you have to be worthy of every penny you earn."

"Thank you, coach, I see."

"Uh-huh, let's go. Good luck, Jack. Don looked down and put his sunglasses back on.

"Good luck too, Coach." Lester turned and walked away.

Leicester's departure did not have any impact in the dressing room of the Forest team, everyone is a professional player, and there are a lot of things that have been divided, not to mention that the Forest dressing room has been so ushered in in the past two years, and I am used to it.

Lester walked like this, which was equivalent to helping Donne. It turns out that Leicester, Helewood, and Johansen all have a chance to play, and whoever plays less will have an opinion, Paul; Hart often messes up the three of them. Now Donn has confirmed that the team's main forward is David; Johansen and Malone; Hellwood, one with speed and explosiveness, the other with body and dribbling, is very close to the perfect forward match in Donn's mind. Although Johansen is not as technically as good as Leicester, Donn appreciates his professionalism, dedication and team spirit, and the kind of striker who can faithfully complete his tactical thinking on the pitch without being "out of the way".

In terms of staffing, Donn abandoned French right-back Matthew; Louis Jean. He couldn't tolerate the man's poor defensive performance on the right flank, and if it weren't for him, Done would have had his first win at Coventry. He took the twenty-year-old Irishman John; Thompson is right-back, and as a full-back, he is impeccable in all aspects except for his low throw-in level and physical weakness. Throw-ins can be thrown by others, and this kid's advantage in headers also allows him to return to the middle to supplement the central defenders, and if necessary, he can also go up to the midfield, which is simply very useful.

With the exception of right-back, Don has remained the same. That's what the lineup is, the formation is the traditional British parallel position 442. Donn originally wanted to switch to diamond midfielder 442, no matter what generation of football manager games he played before, the team he coached was in this formation, focusing on attacking from the flanks and inserting the midfield. However, the effect of this formation in training was not ideal, and the players seemed to be a little confused, they had been playing for a long, long time in a parallel position 442, and suddenly switched to a diamond midfielder, and they didn't know how to run. What's more, the team currently does not have the forward midfielder who meets the requirements of Donne's diamond-shaped midfielder, and Donne originally thought that Ian; Jace could, but he didn't know what to do when he got too close to the opposition box in training. Andy; Reed's problem is that he himself prefers to play wide.

Don sighed and gave up on the idea. This was a relief to the entire team. The British have been fighting for decades in parallel 442, and some things have long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and blood, and they cannot be changed overnight.

If they can't change the formation, Donn will change their perception of tactics, just like they did with Walker and Burns.

In practice, Donn divided the midfielders into two teams, led by Walker and Bowyer, to practise quick passes on each half of a pitch, requiring them to start from the centre circle and make no more than five passes into the box. This was the focus of training during this time, and Donn was watching off the pitch and keeping in mind all the issues that had been reflected in the training. I'll think about the solution when I go back. He doesn't expect the whole team to fully grasp his tactical intentions in a week and be comfortable on the field. But he wants to see change.

On February 1, Nottingham Forest will host their opponent in the thirtieth round of the league - Wimbledon (Wimbledon). Donn is going to see some changes in this game, and more importantly, he'll need a win to solidify his tactical thinking and prove himself right.

Defeat destroys everything, while victory saves everything.

Victory or defeat? That's really a problem......

When Donn hadn't crossed over, he used to play a game called "CM" (Championship'Manager), Wimbledon in CM4 despite being in League One, but they were a team with a few shemales, and if the outcome of the game was decided by the quality of their players, they should be back in the Premier League after one season.

But the reality is ...... At present, after 29 rounds of the 02-03 English Football League 1 season, they have accumulated 35 points with two fewer games and are ranked 17th.

In fact, Donn didn't know it. There is a difference between Wimbledon, which has excellent stats in the game, and Wimbledon in reality. In reality, this Wimbledon team can no longer be regarded as a "crazy gang" in the strict sense, at least the Wimbledon fans in their hometown of London will not recognize their status. The team had just moved out of Wimbledon, the neighbourhood they had spent 97 years in, to Milton'Keynes, a satellite town in north London, and two seasons later they simply changed their name to Milton Keynes' Dons.

The heir to the "mad gang" that is truly recognized by the public is AFC Wimbledon (AFC'Wimbledon), which has just been established for more than half a year, which is an amateur club spontaneously established by Wimbledon fans, who followed the logo and uniform colors of the glorious Wimbledon team to compete in the amateur league. The company SI, which makes the CM series of games, sponsored the club, with their company logo printed on the chest. I believe that many old CM players remember that the cover of the CM4 game is a goalkeeper who jumps into the air, and he has the logo of SI Company on the chest of his jersey, and this person is the goalkeeper of the AFC Wimbledon team...... It is precisely because the SI company sponsors AFC Wimbledon that Wimbledon in the game will have those cow shemales. To give two examples, Wimbledon fifteen-year-old Serge, who is known as the "dribbling genius" in CM4; Serge 'Makofo, in reality, is nothing more than an ordinary ordinary player, that is, there is no speed of 20, there is no dribbling of 20, and there is explosiveness of 20. Another left-sided demon, Lionel'an, even retired as a coach at the age of twenty-one.

Don didn't know any of this, and of course these things weren't of much use to him right now. He just needs to know that this Wimbledon is doing badly right now. Perhaps this has something to do with the forced removal from Wimbledon.

The last four league games have been very good, they are unbeaten in four rounds, but they are also winless in four rounds, the 23rd, 24th, 28th and 29th rounds are all drawn, and the 26th and 27th rounds of matches have been postponed, which also affects their ranking somewhat.
