At that time, the direct trigger was because of the 1:1 draw by Fulham, and the points gap with Chelsea and Arsenal did not narrow. Smith accused Ronaldo in the locker room of playing too alone and not knowing how to cooperate with his teammates, and the two developed from a verbal altercation to a direct action. Then Ferguson announced that Ronaldo needed to return to his hometown in Portugal for a period of rest because he was not in good shape.

Thinking of this, a wicked smile appeared on Donne's face, who knows if the real fuse will be because of Nottingham Forest's 2-2 draw with Manchester United?

How much has the experience he knew so much that he has changed by his own hands, and how much will it change?

In the post-match press conference, Ronaldo became the focus of discussion because Ferguson inadvertently diverted the attention of the media, and Don was liberated. He was also happy to watch the show from the sidelines, and then wondered if Ronaldo would return to Portugal sooner than he knew.

Donn, who had a complete and thorough understanding of his situation, now found it interesting to compare the history he was experiencing and the history he remembered.

The next day, a large photo of Ronaldo being substituted with a black face appeared in The Sun, and everyone was discussing the problems within Manchester United, ignoring Nottingham Forest.

More and more fierce information has been dug up by these reporters who are born rats, why Manchester United has long endured that Portuguese kid for a day or two; What a feud between Van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo; What Gary? Neville criticised Ronaldo for not thinking about his team-mates...... Wait a minute.

These days, the British tabloids are buzzing like a holiday.

However, the local media in Nottingham are unconcerned about the feud between Ronaldo and Manchester United, and their focus is on Forest and George? Wood, "genius", "prodigy", "phenomenon", ...... All titles have been put on him.

Originally, guys like Wood had very limited fans, that is, Fat John and a group of them, and female fans could hardly see them.

As a result, on the first day that the Forest team returned to Nottingham to resume training, Donn saw several young female fans holding up photos of Wood and hoping for their idols to sign autographs outside the training ground!

The girls were young and full of youthful energy, and whenever Wood was near the barbed wire, they called out his name.

As a result, the team whistled incessantly during training. After getting along with Wood for a long time, everyone didn't feel so strange at first, and they all knew that although this kid was not very kind, his character was still good. He won't get angry when he makes such innocuous jokes once in a while.

"George, you have a female fan!" Wes? Mogan is probably the most talkative of these guys to Wood, as they're both from the Nottingham youth team and they've worked together before. During the break in training, the players sat around and made Wood jokes.

"Are you jealous, Wes?" Ribery asked next to him.

"How is that possible? My girlfriends have ......," Wes's retort drew laughter.

Donn and Chris Lak walked out of the video room after analysing the training session they had just done - Don's training video method in the youth team was also introduced to the first team because of its great results. Looking at the players sitting together chatting and laughing, Donn and Krislak looked at each other and smiled.

The atmosphere in the team is good, even if there are ups and downs in the results, he has nothing to worry about as a manager.

He walked over and stood outside the crowd and said to Wood, "Hey, George. Aren't you going to sign autographs for those beautiful maidens? Can you bear to disappoint the girls? ”

Hearing this, the players don't have to look back to know that it is their "leader" who is coming.

"I ......" Wood had never dealt with a female fan, let alone such an enthusiastic female fan - waving at him from afar, and found that he looked like a scream...... "What are you hesitating about?" George, you're a star now, you can't do anything to disappoint the fans! Donn was urging Wood, "Go sign them!" It's a piece of training! ”

Wood turned his head to look at Donn, who had a serious expression, got up from the ground, and then walked towards the jubilant female fans, who were not going to sign autographs for the fans, but like they were going to die.

And someone laughed.

Don nodded in the back and commented, "Don't laugh, guys. I think those female fans will like him more, these days, ignorant girls like cold handsome guys! ”

The laughter was louder.

Sure enough, as Don expected, Wood signed several girls with a straight face throughout the whole process, and by the way, he met their request for a group photo, but instead of making the other party unhappy, he was more frantically sought after.

After this battle, George? Wood really became famous, and Done knew that such a scene would be necessary in the future, and for Wood, this might be a good opportunity to gradually change his surname...... Of course, I have to push two from time to time in the back.

×, Wood, are you a toothpaste? Don't squeeze it out!

※※※ In the next league game, on December 4, Nottingham Forest won 3-2 away to Portsmouth, and Forest's defense became the focus of attention. Because they conceded two goals against Portsmouth. In this game, Don sat in the coach's seat and watched the thrill.

Forest got off to a smooth start and quickly took a one-goal lead, but a mistake at the back gave them a chance to draw the game. Then Portsmouth went on to the next city. If it weren't for the timely adjustment of tactics by Donn at halftime, I am afraid this game would have been lost.

After the comeback in the end, Done was not as excited as he was at Old Trafford.

December 11, the seventeenth round of the league. In the pre-match analysis, Nottingham Forest lost 1-2 to Charlton Athletic at their home stadium.

Fortunately, in the next fifteen days, in the last game of the League Cup group stage, Forest defeated Partizan Belgrade 3-0 at home and successfully qualified from the group. Gave them a cushion.

However, they have just made a good win in the European schedule, and when they returned to the league competition, Forest lost away to Birmingham, 0:2.

Don knew it was time for a change.
