As soon as Don entered the south dressing room, he saw the huge oil painting - you can't think about it, it almost takes up half of the wall, it is too eye-catching.

He has no appreciation for art or anything, and he can't say anything in the face of such an oil painting. But in the locker room of the football field, it always feels a little nondescript.

Since this is the only place in the south locker room that is different from the north locker room, and since it has been used for articles before, Don might as well do it again today.

He took out a neatly folded red cloth from his backpack, then opened it, and a huge team flag appeared in front of everyone, and someone in the locker room exclaimed at the sight of such a large team flag, but soon the sound died down. Donn motioned for Crouch and Ward, the two tallest players on the team, to hang on the painting. While the two men were busy, he explained to everyone: "Before me, there was a master who said that the wall was the root of all spells, and based on my field research, I think he was right. The original master suggested that the course have a huge oil painting to block out the bad smell, which proved successful at first. But...... The feng shui in this place is very poor! Very stubborn! If you want to change, you have to tear down the whole stadium and rebuild it......"

Some of the players gasped, and it seemed that they were all convinced of Donn's words.

"Masters can only choose to use oil painting to temporarily block it, so we will use the team flag today to cover the 'resentment' that has penetrated the oil painting! The Red Flag of the Forest Team is our lucky flag, which can break the spell and bring us good luck! Turning his head, he saw that the team flag had been hung high and pasted on the wall, just blocking the oil painting, "Very good!" Now for us, there is no 'South Locker Room Curse'! You don't have to worry about being cursed, but worry about our opponents, for we will overcome them! ”

Standing under the banner of the giant team, Don opened his arms and said loudly with confidence.

"The boss is right." Eastwood stood up, "When I set off from Nottingham the day before yesterday, my wife did a special divination, and the result of the prediction showed us was also our victory!" ”

Don looked at his disciple, he was turning his head to the team members to boast about how good his wife's divination skills were, and even the local councillor had to come and ask his wife how it turned out before the election...... Donn didn't know if the gypsy was true or not, but he did have something to thank him.

"Alright, guys!" Seeing that the matter was done, assistant coach Walker also spoke. "Now it's time for you to go out and warm up, we've been delayed long enough......"

Donn corrected him: "It's made those northerners wait long enough." ”

The dressing room erupted in happy and light-hearted laughter, and Donn knew his plan had succeeded. Pretending to be a ghost can also help the team build confidence.

While the team went out to warm up, Don was busy on the tactics board in the locker room. He may not know it yet, because he got out of the car and warmed up later than his opponents, and what happened in the dressing room of Nottingham Forest has become the focus of attention of many media and fans. There was a rumor that began to circulate among the reporters -- Tony. Coach Donn used the oriental feng shui he learned in the locker room to help his team break the spell in the south dressing room of the Millennium Stadium. If successful, then his team and Middlesbrough are on the same starting line!

It's a rumor that has the media excited, and if true, then Donn would be the first coach to help the team with such unnatural means. If the Forest team does win in the end, I wonder if McLaren will complain about his opponent's approach? If he doesn't complain, that's okay, we can take the conversation in that direction in the post-match press conference...... If Forest don't win the title, reporters can ask Coach Donn what he thinks of his pre-game "pretending" -- if he doesn't win, it's ineffective, and if he doesn't work, he's playing tricks -- and then ask him if he's putting too much thought into it rather than the team's tactics.

In short, no matter what happens in the end, no matter who will win the championship, the media has something to talk about.

There's a good show to watch!

※※※ Waiting for the Forest players to warm up and return, they saw Tony. Coach Donn has taken off that "road robe", wearing a dark red suit, the compass does not know where he put it, the starting lineups of both sides are drawn on the tactical board, the huge Nottingham Forest flag is on the wall, and everyone's towels are neatly placed in their respective positions.

It looks like a normal team dressing room. And they didn't even think about the "South Locker Room Curse", they only had one thought in their minds now - Middlesbrough, the final, the championship trophy!

Looking at the eyes of these people, Don was very satisfied with their mental state. These people have a determined gaze, not as erratic as they were two days ago, and they know at a glance that they are preoccupied and have no heart to prepare for the game.

Well, now his team is in top shape, and he's smart enough not to talk about that spell anymore.

After everyone was seated and the dressing room was quiet, Don spoke:

"Guys, the moment of truth has arrived. It's the final, and I hope you understand that. It's not a trivial pre-season game, it's not a league game where we lose and the next game, it's a League Cup final where we have to wait a fucking year if we lose! Cheer up and read aloud to me: this is the final of the national live broadcast! ”

"It's the final broadcast of the national broadcast!" At first, the sound was a little messy and not very neat, some were fast and some were slow, some were high and some were low, but soon everyone was in unison.

"This is my chance to make a name for myself!"

"This is my chance to make a name for myself!!"

"It's a great stage for everyone to see how good I am!"

"This is the perfect stage for everyone to see how good I am!!"

Don waved his arms vigorously, his exaggerated and powerful body language was his trademark, and the way he smashed his fists into the void always made the team members feel that an incomparably powerful force was being smashed into them with the boss's movements.

"Let's step on the corpse of Middlesbrough and go to Europe, in the name of the English League Cup winner!!"

"In the name of the champion-!!"

After venting, Don looked at the enthusiastic players and smiled: "Does anyone think I'm telling jokes that can't happen?" Does anyone doubt that we can beat the Premier League teams? Does anyone think that a superteam is stronger than a first-class team? Does anyone think we can't win? ”

This time, no one hesitated, and everyone immediately replied loudly: "No one!" ”

"Excellent! Do you believe me? Do you believe that I will lead you to victory? ”

"Believe!"

"Excellent! I also believe in you, and I believe that you can defeat your opponents and win the championship! We are one team, we are one. I believe in you, you believe in me. We can overcome all the opponents in front of us, because they are holding us back. What did we do for a week? Ever since you started to set foot in professional football and trained, you have been sweating, crying, and even bleeding and injured every day, for what? ”

He turned around and erased the starting lineups from the board, then wrote the big word "champion" on it.

"For the championship! Only a champion can repay everything we have put in, only a champion can make us feel satisfied and happy when we are hungry, and in addition to that...... "He waved his hand vigorously and made a knife cut. “…… We don't accept any results! ”
