On December 12, 2003, one of the greatest managers in Nottingham Forest's history, Toney. After a six-month hiatus, Donn returned to his best position and appeared in the dugout at the City Stadium. When he returned, there was absolutely no talk of his hapless predecessor, Collymore, as if that place at City Stadium was for Tony. Don and the book built the same.

It was a normal English First Division (there was no English Championship at the time, so the First Division was a second division), and Nottingham Forest hosted them one place lower than them after six consecutive defeats, but were aggressive enough to eat their Crystal Palace. Nottingham Forest fell behind and then came back from behind, ending an embarrassing six-game losing streak.

Since that game, he hasn't left the position. Tony. Donn has been the manager of Nottingham Forest and this team has been branded with his arrogant and unruly mark. Even in the six months that he has been recuperating due to heart disease, the team has never lacked his influence. He led his Forest side across Europe, winning two European Cups and two Premier League titles.

Nottingham Forest, one of the world's first professional football clubs, has had two of its most glorious eras in its history so far. The first glorious era was in Brian. After Clough arrived at Nottingham Forest, under the leadership of the most famous coach in English football, the originally unknown Nottingham Forest soared to the sky, winning one English top flight title, two European Champions Cups, a European Super Cup, and a 42-game unbeaten unbeaten record in the English top flight, a record that was not surpassed by Arsene Wenger's Arsenal until 26 years later with a new record of 49 games.

The second glorious era will undoubtedly begin on December 12, 2003. Tony. Donn, a former nobody, has led Forest to a whirlwind of red at the City Stadium, and so far they have won two Premier League titles, two UEFA Champions Cups, two UEFA Super Cups, one World Club Cup, two English Community Shields and an English League Cup. But in terms of the number of titles, he has surpassed his predecessor Brian. Croft. And Clough has made an old, Tony. Tang En is only forty-five years old, which is still a young age as a coach. There is still a long, long road under his feet, and it is believed that under his leadership, the Forest team can continue to be glorious and create the most glorious forest dynasty in history.

Ten years have passed.

As the only one in the history of the club can be with Brian. Clough is a head coach on par, and his 10th anniversary in charge must be celebrated. The club has decided to present Donn with a commemorative trophy, but unfortunately on December 12, the Forest team did not play at home, so the trophy could not be handed out in front of tens of thousands of spectators before the game.

On December 12, 2013, in the 17th round of the English Premier League, Nottingham Forest challenged Liverpool away.

It was a game for a full decade since Donn officially took charge of Forest's first team. Although he became the acting head coach of the Forest team as early as January 1, 2003, it was "acting", plus he was also replaced by Evan halfway through. Dogetty was dismissed, but it didn't count towards his official coaching career. Even Donn was reluctant to divide that failed half season into his own decade, even though that half season occupied a very important place in his life and left countless precious memories.

Local media such as the Nottingham Evening Post have set up special issues to review Tony. Done's 10-year thematic project. For the people of Nottingham, there is so much to remember in the past ten years, and it was as if they had a wonderful, long dream. Ten years ago, if someone had said to them, "Your team can get back to the top," they would have thought that they were here to mock and satirize them. But now those honors are quietly placed in the club's honor room, telling them that this is not a dream, this is reality.

All this thanks to the forty-five-year-old man. As a coach, he is only forty-five years old, very young, and the accolades he has won have already made many coaches older than him jealous. However, as a man, forty-five is already middle-aged. Hopefully he can continue to do it for as long as possible, that's the biggest wish of all Forest to the fans.

A publisher approached Don with the hope of publishing an autobiography of him in what would last a few years. Donn's writing was not bad, he often wrote columns in newspapers, but writing books was too time-consuming for him. A manager of a Premier League club is already busy enough, how can he still have time to write a book? So he handed it over to Pierce, the journalist who knew him best. Bruce. It is said that he dictated it, Bruce took notes, but in fact he didn't do anything, it was all Bruce who used the information he had recorded in the past ten years to compose the whole book. The only thing that might be considered an original by Donn is the name of the book.

Ten Years.

Well...... Strictly speaking, even the title of the book is not original to him, and when the publisher asked him to think about the title of the book, the title of the song Eason Chan popped up in his head. He felt that this was a kind of fate, so he used it.

At first, the publisher thought the name was unimposing and understated. and Tony. Donn's "madman status" is completely unworthy. I want Donn to change one, such as "The Great Forest Emperor", "The Heart of the Lion King", "Godfather of Champions", "We Are the Champions", ...... This kind of straightforward and popular name can be known at a glance.

But Don refused.

"Since I'm a madman, I can't even stick to the title of my own book, what kind of madman am I?" He left the publisher speechless. Sure enough......

"Tony, I thought about it. Or do you have a press conference in Nottingham the day before the game and give you the trophy? "Three days before the game, the president of the club, Evan. Dogotty finds Donn.

"Why?" Donn thought it strange because the original plan was to be awarded after the tournament was over.

"Well, I'm worried that if you lose that game, you'll not be in the mood to accept the award in front of the media......"

Don laughed.

"Don't laugh, Tony. We always have to prepare for both, don't we? ”

Don continued to laugh: "Hah! If you give me that crystal cup before the game, then what else is there to prepare? Some of the media have plan A and plan B before some important games, but they don't announce the team's defeat in advance of the game. You can rest assured. Donn patted Evan on the shoulder, "The situation you're worried about won't come up because we're not going to lose at all." I don't want to lose to claim this award. ”

"Liverpool's home stadium is a difficult ......"

"It's not like we haven't defeated them at Anfield, and because it's my 10th anniversary, they've suddenly become the most difficult fortress in the world to conquer?"

"But the performance of our team lately has ...... And George. Wood's state ......"

Don shook his head to interrupt his questioning, "No problem. The team and him are fine. ”

Evan still had any questions, but told Don to push him out. "You trust me, Evan. It was my 10th anniversary, so how could I allow someone to make trouble? Friends come with wine, jackals come with only shotguns. ”

"Anfield is the home of the devil on the planet!" Chris a veteran reporter for The Liverpool Echo. In his column, Bas Combe predicted the game two days from now. 'We don't have a very good relationship with Nottingham Forest and there's no reason for us to have Toney at Anfield. Don enjoyed a memorial dinner of his own. ”

The dude once listed in his column the top 10 wishes for the 2009-2010 season, one of which was "Hope Tony." Donne said goodbye to Forest because of a heart attack", and he also wanted Roman Abramovich to go bankrupt, so Chelsea had no choice but to sell Frank Lampard to Barcelona and John Terry to Liverpool, so that "the Premier League can start a fair and reasonable competition".

It can be seen that he is a determined KOP, and at the same time, he does not like Chelsea and Tony very much. Dawn.

In fact, without him adding fuel to the fire in his column, few Liverpool fans will be interested in Nottingham Forest and Toney. Don had a good idea.

Liverpool could only play in the League Cup for several years in a row, and became the laughing stock of European powers. It's all thanks to Tony. Don and his Nottingham Forest. Go back a little further. Question: The Liverpool giants, who once dominated Europe, were defeated by the same opponent in a year, and the league, league cup and Champions Cup were eliminated three times?

Answer: Brian. Clough and his Nottingham Forest.

With this relationship, although both sides are the "red camp" in English football, every contest seems to be a derby. Liverpool want to prove with a league win that they are not weaker than Nottingham Forest, why they can play in the Champions Cup, and they can only go to the League Cup. And Nottingham Forest has always pursued the principle of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, since you see that I am not happy, I naturally have no need to be polite to you.

Also about Gerald and George. The debate over who is England's best midfielder at the moment has never stopped between supporters of both teams. There have been Chelsea fans who have been involved in supporting Frank Lampard. Later, as Frank Lampard grew older and lost his place in the national team, Chelsea fans were amused to quit the club.

Liverpool supporters believe that Gerrard is more well-rounded, immaculate, without any shortcomings, and is a well-deserved core player in both England and Liverpool, and certainly the best in England. And George. Although Wood is slightly better defensively than Gerrard, his offense is too far behind, and his scoring ability is simply different from Gerrard's, and there is no way to compare with Gerrard. George in England. Wood is more of a Gerard auxiliary.

Nottingham Forest supporters believe Wood's midfield is unrivalled defensively, his attacking progress has been rapid, he is younger and has plenty of room to improve. On the contrary, Gerrard has been stereotyped, coupled with Liverpool's always being held down by Nottingham Forest in the league, the team's results are not ideal, and Gerrard's achievements have basically been stereotyped. Conversely, Nottingham Forest is in Tony. Donn's leadership won the championship and got soft, George. Wood is also constantly breaking his honour roll, and he is sure to have more accolades and achievements in the future, and he can definitely reach a peak that Gerrard has not reached.

Anyway, the fans, experts, and journalists who support their respective teams have their own opinions, and often start such arguments with their surnames. However, this controversy has not affected the relationship between Gerrard and Wood, and there is no negative impact on the national team. Gerrard and Wood's 'double German' combination is clearly better than his previous 'double German' combination with Frank Lampard. Wood is a midfielder who can be paired with anyone, he can attack or defend, he can be a core or a support, and that's what Capello likes most about Wood. So although when he and Gerrard play at the same time, it must be him who assists Gerrard, but who can rotate in the national team, but Wood cannot. Gerrard sometimes needs to give up his place to someone else to partner with Wood, but I haven't heard of the media hype about "who is playing with Gerrard".

Wood is not a person who likes to fight for the fame of "who is the first brother in English football", and Gerrard obviously does not need to fight for the first place, his status has long been established.

Such an argument is nothing more than an after-dinner conversation among the fans and an excuse for the media to hype up the match between the two teams.

'Nottingham Forest haven't been in good shape lately and their core captain George. Something seems to be wrong with Wood. I made no secret of how happy I was to see it, and I just wanted my opponents to have problems on their own. Bascombe continued in his column, "The schedule is on Tony. Don said it was terrible. His 10th anniversary is supposed to be at the Devil's Stadium, and if he is at the City Stadium, he may even be able to receive the club's award before the game. That must have been a very glamorous thing, but it's a pity that now Coach Donn can only fantasize about it in his heart. ”

"The commemoration of this arrogant man is my biggest expectation for watching this game. I make no secret of my dislike for Nottingham Forest and my love for Liverpool. Every KOP who knows Liverpool's history in the late 70s and early 80s should agree with me. New hatred and old hatred, on the night of Anfield on December 12th, let's count it together! ”
