Volume 3 Red Forest Chapter 100 Won (II)

At the post-match press conference, when many media were waiting to see the two managers have a war of words, Mourinho took the initiative to praise the performance of the Forest team, especially Ghareth Bale, who had an outstanding performance after being replaced.

However, he doesn't admit that his team is not doing well, he just thinks they are a little unlucky.

As if to prove his claims, Done also commented that Chelsea were excellent, and that their 10-game unbeaten run was not due to luck, but to be really strong.

But then, Donn shifted gears and said it was because of Chelsea's performance that he was even more proud of his players. Everybody did a great job.

He even went out of his way to name each player by name, saying "name and praise", but he did not praise Bale in particular, but stressed that it was not a single victory, but a team victory.

He's deliberately lowering blood pressure for Bell.

Some players are able to withstand the intense pressure from on the pitch but may not be able to cope with the expectations of praise from off the pitch. Bell is still young, and Donn wants to protect him.

Despite this, Donn was unable to organize the media to hype up the youngster after the game.

At the age of 16 and 105 days, he scored his first professional goal for the club, breaking the record for the youngest appearance in club and English history against Manchester City, and now setting a new record for the youngest goal in club and English league history – before that was set by Everton teenager James Vaughn in a match against Crystal Palace on 11 April this year, when Vaughn was just 16 years old and 271 years old.

Bale's goal revisited the evolution of the youngest goalscorer in the English League in recent years:

Wayne Rooney, who first came out on 19 October 2002 in the match between Everton and Arsenal, was only 16 years old and 361 years old when he scored the goal. Then, on December 26 of the same year, Leeds United youngster James Milner set a new record time of 16 years and 357 days. After a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, Everton is back in the time of 16 years and 271 years.

And now Bale's goal has advanced the record by 166 days.

Sixteen years and one hundred and five days. I'm afraid this achievement will not be able to be shaken for a long time.

Therefore, Donne's idea of wanting to protect Bale is a good place, but in fact, because of this goal, Bale has gained no less attention than Rooney.

The day after the race, the front page headlines in various newspapers were given to the young man. Don and Mourinho lost out to Gareth Bale.

The Welsh are hailing another talent and the English are rejoicing about a new record.

It seemed that everyone was happy, but Don looked at the overwhelming large photos of Ground Bell, crying and laughing.

Don comforted him: "It's gold that will shine sooner or later. Take him away from me. You should have thought of the day when you didn't trust his abilities."

"Is that a consolation to you?" Tang En glanced at Tang and sighed, "It's okay. On the other hand, this is also the ...... Bale has to go through"

As he spoke, Don's cell phone rang.

Looking down at the Di, Donn suddenly laughed: "The gypsies are coming to text the land. Tell me he watched the game against Chelsea and he can't wait to get back into the team. He also said he knew what I was worried about right now, because of Se

Rem has figured it out. He said if the last free kick was taken by him. The result is the same, but I don't have to worry about anything...... Ha ha! ”

After restarting training, Donn read a Gypsy text message in front of all the players. It also drew a lot of laughter.

"Finally, he asked me to thank all of you on his behalf. He loves you all."

The players whistled.

"Well done, guys. We won the league. Did anyone last night be so excited that they couldn't sleep? ”

Bell raised his hand.

Immediately attracted everyone's attention, and when everyone saw that it was young Bell, they all laughed.

"You still need to exercise, Gareth. It's just a game! If you win and you can't sleep with excitement, you're going to have to live with insomnia for the rest of your life."

Laughter is louder.

Bell's head hung lower.

Seeing this, Don coughed, "Okay. Listen to me, from now on I want you to forget about yesterday's game and plunge into a new land campaign, where our opponents are ......."

Everyone knew what match he was talking about, so they replied in unison: "Benfica!" ”

After shouting, everyone laughed. This is their defeat. There is no psychological pressure at all.

"It's good that we just won them a while ago. Now, we're going to win them again! ”

Due to an injury to Leighton Barnes, Donn brought young Gareth Bale on the pitch in Portugal.

Before coming on the pitch, Donn joked to Bale: "Now you may be the first player to play in the history of the Champions League, are you nervous?" ”

Bell shook his head, "It's alright, boss."

If Bell is sure to say "not nervous", Donn might have to worry a little more. Now he was relieved: "Go ahead, don't think about anything. It's just a game."

The boos of tens of thousands of Benfica fans at home did not make Bale's legs weak, and he is already a professional player who has been baptized by fierce battles. He's no longer the little kid who didn't have confidence because others laughed at his looks.

The match was played by Nottingham Forest away after a tough ninety minutes. Won 1-0 against rival Benfica in the group stage. The two-legged win over Benfica helped Forest secure their position – seven points, second in the group.

An away win against Lille and Real Madrid are very high in the table.

In this game, everyone in the Forest team continued the form of the game against Chelsea, and no matter what the difficulties they faced, they never gave up. In the most difficult situation of the team, they still gritted their teeth and persevered, did not let the opponent blast their goal, but on the contrary, when Benfica was deflated, a sneak attack was successful, and the situation on the field was completely reversed. Then the game entered the rhythm of Forest, with the leading Forest playing with ease, while Benfica became more and more impatient and finally swallowed the bitter pill of defeat.

At the post-match press conference, Don faced a room full of Portuguese media and said conceitedly: "Until now, I believe that many people here still doubt our strength, and they still think that Benfica's loss to Nottingham Forest in the last game was an upset and an accident. Now, we have proved it with practical actions and achievements...... If Benfica wins against us, it's an upset! ”
