Volume 3 Red Forest Chapter 116 Promotion (II)

Eastwood's return has given Donn a great deal of confidence. What faith? It's about going further in the Champions Cup with confidence.

Now the team is basically free of ground injuries and has a full staff. This season, Donn can finally line up regardless of injuries.

Following the away win over Glasgow Rangers, Done met with the coaching staff to recalibrate his goal for the season – to keep the league title out of contention and for Chelsea to defend their title. As long as the Forest team can maintain their current position, they will be able to concentrate on the Champions League. As for the FA Cup...... Their next round against Chelsea was Downe and Donne decided to send a player who usually doesn't make many appearances to play this game, regardless of the outcome. If he can knock out Chelsea, that's fine, and if he can't, he's not upset.

Where is the best stage to make a name for yourself? It's not a domestic league, it's not the "oldest cup" like chicken ribs, it's the UEFA Champions League, which is favored by TV broadcasters!

Of course, as a former Chinese fan, Tang En is still a bit of a "Champions Cup complex".

This goal is in line with Evan Dogetty's, so when Donn told him where the team was going, he was supportive. Nottingham Forest don't need to prove anything in the domestic league anymore. Now everyone recognizes the strength of the forest team's domestic first-class team, and Donn needs to prove that the object is abroad, it is the big 6 in Europe, it is the whole world, through the Champions Cup, let everyone know Nottingham Forest, let what AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus...... Let these big teams know. From now on, they have a strong opponent to rob them of their money and girls...... Well, Robin Hood is here to rob them of their money and honor!

So, despite the fact that there is still one round to go, the outcome of Rangers has been decided in advance......

Forest lost away to Everton in a league game ahead of the second leg against Rangers, but no one was surprised. Because Don Xue hid most of the main team, even the main goalkeeper Van der Sar, who had been playing in the league before, was on the bench for this game. Everyone knows what Don is thinking.

Eastwood, who scored the winning goal in their last game, did not and continued to sit on the bench to watch the game.

Don gave him fifteen minutes in this game and he played decently. The Gypsy striker still lacks a tacit understanding with this team, but he doesn't have to prove himself with goals anymore, he has proven it in the last round of the league, and now no one doubts that he is no longer good.

David Moyes' side fielded the strongest squad against half of their main team, and Everton may never forget that it was Nottingham Forest who overcame them late last season to become the fourth team to represent England in the Champions League.

Looking at the current situation of the Forest, the Everton people will inevitably think - if it is their own place. It's the same scenery!

So the game against Nottingham Forest has some special significance, they lost away to Forest in the first half of the season, and this time back at home, Moyes doesn't want to lose again.

He got his wish, the final score of the game was 1:0, the home team Everton won against Nottingham Forest, although this is a deliberately reserved strength of Nottingham Forest, but three points are three points, real three points. Nothing could be more important than this.

After the game. Moyes was also in a good mood after the win, and as a friend, he still wished Forest a good result on the other field when he shook hands with Donn.

'I think the best outcome would be for Everton to finish second in the league at the end of the season and you win the Champions Cup.

Hearing this, Don burst out laughing, not showing the slightest frustration of losing. You're so unambitious. David. If that were to me – the best would be that we would be league champions and you would be Champions Cup winners. Everybody is happy."

Moyes laughed too: "No, it's not your style, Tony."

"Isn't it?"

"Well, that's how you do it." Moyes lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice, "The best outcome is that at the end of the season we win the league and we win the Champions Cup."

Don scratched his head. That is still a long way off, and as much as he would love to say so, neither he nor the Forest team have the confidence at the moment.

The defeat to Everton, while Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 away in the same league game, narrowed the gap between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United from nine to six. Ferguson's team is in a rage, and Donn has no time to take care of it now.

Three days later, at the City Stadium, Nottingham Forest fans waited for their quarter-final opponents, Scottish League side Glasgow Rangers.

Nottingham Forest, home stadium, is at ease, with morale high and Glasgow Rangers under pressure. This game is very difficult for the Koh team to play as they not only have to win against Forest. And to win by a big score.

Nottingham Woodland's three away goals were like three mountains over the Scotsman's head.

Worse still, that's not all.

The game was just three minutes and forty-one seconds into the home team's goal.

This time it was Mikel Arteta who scored the goal. His long-range shot went through the Glasgow Rangers goalkeeper.

The city stadium suddenly fell into a frenzy, and the 27,000 people seemed to cheer 270,000.

4-2 Nottingham Forest extended their lead to two goals and Rangers are now in a difficult situation, before Arteta can score this goal, they need to win this game by two goals for Forest, and now they need to score three goals without allowing Forest to continue to score! But looking at the form and momentum that Nottingham Forest is showing, I think it's an 'impossible task.'"

The ball greatly shook the confidence of the Rangers players because it came so quickly that they were completely unprepared.

For the next few dozen minutes, the visitors were desperate to find a goal as they continued to attack the Forest penalty area. But there is no order, and the Scottish team plays simply and roughly, that is, long passes. In front of defenders like George Wood, Quey and Pepe, they are the least afraid of this kind of physical attack.

In fact, the Rovers players may be asking themselves in their minds when attacking the ground: Is it possible to score three goals and not let the home team score? We can't do it!

So, they really can't do it......

Ten minutes into the second half, the game was in full swing with Nottingham Woodland, with the home team passing around the pitch and the Rangers players grabbing fiercely and to no avail. The players of the Forest team have played their form and can play any kind of combination.

In the 79th minute of the game, Makviduka scored the second goal of the game in a positional battle to seal the win.

The Rangers players gave up on the belief that they would continue to resist, and the game then went into garbage time.

The score of 5-2 is completely insurmountable in the hearts of the away players.

In the last ten minutes of the game, the strong smell of gunpowder suddenly disappeared, and when Nottingham Forest were in possession of the ball, the Rangers players did not come forward to grab it much.

In the stands, the Nottingham Forest fans had already started to celebrate early.

Twenty-four years later, we returned to the European Champions Cup and reached the quarterfinals in one fell swoop, which is a remarkable result!

Television cameras began to give frequent close-ups of Tony Donn, and it was the man who created it all, and the Nottingham Forest resurgence began in earnest from the day he took the Forest's head coach position.

"It's over! The biggest dark horse of this European Champions Cup has been born - Nottingham Forest eliminated Glasgow Rangers and advanced to the quarterfinals! Twenty-four years ago, it seems to have appeared before our eyes again: when the small team led by Clough appeared in the middle of the Champions League for the first time, did anyone cast a special eye on them? Does anyone take them for the same thing? Did anyone think they would threaten their team? What is the final result*** Book City? From now on, European giants will have to seriously consider this issue!
