At half-time, the players heard another long-lost roar. Angry at the team's performance, Donn blushed his neck and spat at them:

In 3:1, you must have thought to yourself: What are you afraid of? We're two goals ahead! In 3:2, do you also say in your hearts, "What are you afraid of?" We're one goal ahead! If we were 3-3 with them in the second half, how would you feel? Did I get it wrong or did you get it wrong? It's a League Cup qualifier, not a fucking warm-up game! Put my mind right and be serious! If we lose to such a team, then when you go back, prepare a rope for each of you and hang yourself on the beam! ”

The words are a bit harsh, but how can this make those heartless little bunnies feel in danger? After winning a Chelsea game, I happily don't know what my surname is, how can I have a strong team style?

The Forest team in the second half was very different from the first. In terms of the strength of the two sides, Nottingham Forest is definitely stronger than Ostrafa, even if the home factor is added, there is no reason for the Forest team to be in trouble here.

Ostrafa, who had levelled the score at 3-2 on aggregate, seemed to see hope of reaching the main draw of the UEFA Cup and launched a storm of attacks on Forest's goal in the early stages of the second half. This time, however, it wasn't easy for them to get into the Forest penalty area, with Wood and Albertini erecting an impregnable wall in front of the centre-backs. Especially Wood, his and Albertini's positions are not completely parallel, but slightly misaligned, Albertini is in front, Wood is a little behind, and from this position you can also see the division of labor between the two of them on the field.

Albertini was not only responsible for attacking, but also for organising it. Wood, on the other hand, only needed to intercept the opposition's attack behind Albertini. For George, who is making rapid progress? For Wood, it's not a difficult task.

The Czechs soon found that the England side that they could have pinched casually in the first half had completely changed, their attack was completely incapable of playing, and their defence was still in jeopardy...... In the 68th minute, Niklas, who started the game because of a goal against Chelsea? Bendtner scored his second goal of the season, this time not with a header, but with a single shot past a defender.

Forest stretched the aggregate score to 4-2, but that clearly didn't satisfy Donn, who continued to roar off the pitch for his players to score, score, score more.

Crouch, who then replaced Eastwood, met Donn's request, extending the gap to 5-3 with an unconventional header, scoring two away goals to give the aggregate a 5-3 lead, and with 20 minutes remaining, Forest had already fully booked a place in the UEFA Cup main event.

Then, Ostrafa lost their fighting spirit, and Donn began to make frequent substitutions, giving players who rarely get a chance to play in the game get a familiar feeling.

Alan? Lennon replaces Ashley? Young, Ribery was replaced by Chris? Commons replaces.

By the end of the game, the score of 2:2 had not changed, and Nottingham Forest managed to qualify for the League Cup.

But Don didn't forget to rush to the court to celebrate the victory. For him, reaching the main draw of the League Cup is just the first step in a long journey, and when he gets carried away, how can he tell his players to stay calm?

So when the game was over, he turned around and walked directly to the home team's coach's box and took the initiative to shake hands with the opponent.

"Congratulations, the better side won the League Cup." Despite the loss, the opposing head coach still politely congratulated Donn.

"Thank you, you guys actually did a great job as well, but we had better luck." Don said polite words that he didn't believe, and a modest smile was piled up on his face. But after saying goodbye to the other party, he turned around and looked at the players who were still exchanging jerseys with their opponents, clenched his fists and waved them vigorously in front of his chest.

League Cup! Although it is not as much of a high-profile tournament as the Champions Cup, it is also a European event, and there will be many opportunities to meet strong teams in Europe, and playing against these strong players is what Don is looking forward to the most.

Champion?

I'm not dizzy yet. What are Nottingham Forest's goals in Europe this season? It's just to stir up the European powers!

Europe, here we come.

This time it's true.

※※※The news that the Forest team successfully broke into the main match of the League Cup made the English media pay more attention, because after all, this is another old team back in the spotlight. Most media outlets are cautious about Nottingham Forest's UEFA Cup prospects, though. They believe that Forest, who have been absent from European competitions for a long time, can no longer keep up with the pace, and they have also taken the trouble to move out of the 95-96 season, the bitter memory of Forest's 2-7 defeat to Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup to support their view that they are not optimistic about Forest.

Don chose to hit back at these suspicions in his column, but he didn't write any lengthy rebuttals to them. The latest issue of Donne's column has attracted a lot of attention because of his title and text.

The headline is: The League Cup is just the first step on the way to the Champions Cup throne.

The full text of the content is only two words: as the title.

Don's contract with Corriere della Sera stipulated that his manuscript would be paid by the number of words, so that Donn didn't actually get a penny for the manuscript, but it quadrupled the Corriere della Sera's sales, and all the readers rushed to the arrogant column, and they could almost see Donn holding his head high and staring at the crowd as he said this.

Even Lineker's online column the next day mentioned this incident, thinking that Donn's simple "as the question" is the perfect riposte, and it will not work if he says more.

Everybody's talking about this, everybody's talking about Tony? Donne, he may be the first manager to lead a promoted team and claim to win the Champions Cup.

Mourinho is crazy because he has won the League Cup, won the Champions Cup, and led Porto to win the treble of Portugal. He has the qualifications to be mad.

What about Donn? What does he have besides a chicken-ribbed League Cup title? It is really eye-opening that a person who has nothing can be so arrogant.

More and more people are interested in the Premier League's youngest manager.

When the next day the Foresters practiced, there were more media gathered around the training base than ever before. Dogetty was taken aback.

Parking the car in the parking lot, he saw Don who had just escaped from the entanglement of the reporters and walked outside, so he quickly stopped him: "Tony, what's going on?" He pointed to the door.

Don smiled and said, "Evan, don't you ever read the newspaper?" ”

"Of course, but what does it have to do with that...... Yes! I know! "Evan? Dogetty clapped his hands and laughed, "Is that the 'Ru Title'?" It feels good, I love it! ”

"Do you think I'm doing this on purpose to refute the media?" Donn asked.

Evan shrugged: "I don't know. ”

"Evan, do you remember when we were planning the future with Alan in the Indian restaurant?" Don glanced at the clear sky.

Evan smiled and nodded: "Of course I remember, how can I forget?" ”

"It's getting closer." Don affirmed.
