As players from both sides stood near the centre circle and waited for the second half to begin, Don made four substitutions in one go. Four players wearing the Nottingham Forest yellow away shirt stood on the sidelines, lining up to enter.

Kompany replaced the aging Ayala, Akinfeev replaced Van der Sar, and Lennon replaced David. David Beckham, George. Wood replaces Sun Jihai.

Beckham's dismissal left fans unhappy with Donn, and boos continued to be directed at him.

"They're not booing you, David." Don laughed as Beckham walked down to shake Donn's hand. "You're booing me, complaining that I replaced you too early."

"I understand, sir."

"Well, wipe the water dry." He personally handed over the towel.

Wood took the captain's armband from David Beckham, tied himself up and ran onto the pitch. At halftime, he didn't say anything about how the first half would be, but Don knew that the kid must be holding back his breath.

At half-time, Donn asked his team to step up their long-range shots and remain down the middle. In addition to the players' fear of injury and the referee's whistle, the inability to open the game in the first half was also related to Donn's request for the team to attack the middle. But he didn't like to change that in the second half, and apart from the fact that it was a difficult opportunity to practice, Donn didn't think Nottingham Forest's ability to play in the middle would be impossible to play.

In fact, even if the main players didn't make trouble at halftime, Don had a way to turn the situation back in the second half. So he specifically left the bench for the second half, and these players who usually play less games and are very eager to prove that their players are sometimes more powerful than the main players, let them play the half, and then make the FA leaders look good, the plan that Donn prepared from the beginning.

That's right, he didn't want to listen to Allen from the beginning and save any face for the Chinese Football Association. The face of the Chinese Football Association has nothing to do with him, and he didn't directly refuse at that time, but he just didn't want to quarrel directly with Allen. He has a short temper and a straightforward surname, which does not mean that he will not be clever.

When the players and most of the fans of the Chinese Olympic team were still in a dream in the first half, Van der Vaart's long-range shot hit the post and sounded the alarm bell.

In the fifth minute of the second half, less than a minute after Van der Vaart's long-range shot hit the post, Ribery dribbled the ball down the flank and suddenly cut inside, just when the Olympic players thought he was going to shoot from distance, he pushed a straight shot. Eastwood, who cut in diagonally, received the ball and turned to hit the goal, but the ball rolled past the unresponsive Olympic goalkeeper and crashed into the net.

Nottingham Forest pulled the score back.

So far, it is in line with the results that Xie Guanlong and Allen know.

But in Alan's mind, a very bad premonition has gradually emerged.

In the 11th minute, Li Weifeng, who was still rough in defense, pushed down Lennon who was about to force a breakthrough in front of the penalty area, and the referee blew him for a foul and awarded a free kick 27 meters from the goal to the Forest team.

Gareth. Bale stepped up to take the penalty, and the football drew a beautiful arc and hung in the dead corner!

Nottingham Forest took the lead in six minutes.

After that goal, Donn made another substitution. Scorer Bale was replaced by Barnes, Van der Vaart was replaced by Petrov and Ribery moved to the middle to play in central midfield.

Later, Petrov, who had just been substituted, used an unreasonable flank to break through his Chinese players with speed and send a cross to the goal, and Van Nistelrooy pressed Li Weifeng to push the ball into the goal. ：

In the blink of an eye, the score has changed from 1:2 to 4:2.

The smile on Xie Guanlong's face, who was sitting on the rostrum, was long gone, and his current face was infinitely close to today's Ningbo weather.

Alan sits at Evan. Next to Dogetty, a person in the past was Xie Guanlong, and he could feel the emotional changes that are taking place in the heart of the president of the Football Association at this moment. Because he was also a little annoyed.

Tony. Don put him on the table!

Generally speaking, this score remained until the end, which was acceptable to the hosts, after all, they scored two goals for the European championship and only allowed the opponent to score four. But Tang En had no intention of giving up, and he continued to send players who were full of hunger for the game, and let them attack the Chinese Olympic team, which had been beaten and had lost confidence.

Bendtner came on for Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arshavin for Eastwood. Raphinha was replaced by Zim Bonda, and Wes. Mogan replaces Pique, the current Olympic team is no threat to Nottingham Forest's defence, and most of the stumbling attack is in the hands of George. Wood stopped on the line. George. Wood looked comfortable defending.

In the final moments of the game, Nottingham Forest scored two more goals. Bendtner stabbed a goal from inside the box and then scored twice with a strong header.

By the time Forest scored their fifth goal, half of the crowd was already cheering and applauding every performance by the Forest players.

Under the backdrop of this situation, Xie Yalong's face turned black and pursed his lips, how ugly and ugly it was.

The players of the National Olympic team fought hard at the beginning, but in the end they found that the difference in strength between the two sides was too big, and even the idea of desperate was gone, their offense was completely unformed, and the defense was more like doing their best.

Seeing this scene, Don shook his head below: "In this way, the goal set by the Football Association for them is to reach the semi-finals of the Olympic men's football competition......"

"Are they crazy?" Don asked.

"It's not crazy, it's their normal posture. If one day you hear the Football Association say that we have to be down-to-earth and do something practical for Chinese football, you can call the psychiatric hospital and ask them to send a car to the Football Association to pull people. ”

Don was amused by Donn's words.

Don glanced at him, "Isn't it ridiculous?" Shouldn't we feel sad and angry when we encounter such a thing? But Chinese fans don't even have the strength to be angry and scolding their mothers, and they can only express their emotions in this seemingly ironic way. You see......" he pointed to the stands, "and now almost everyone is starting to cheer the Olympic team, and that's how they express their emotions." It's not that I'm forced to see no hope at all, who wants to vent in such an extreme way? Shh......h It's pathetic, it's pathetic. He muttered.

Don stopped laughing and fell silent. His understanding and feelings for Chinese football are far from catching up with the "Englishman" around him, but he can imagine what Tang En's attitude towards Chinese football was in the past, maybe he cried, laughed, scolded, longed and hoped, but now, he is here to tell other people's affairs in a cold tone.

How pathetic, how pitiful?

What a pity!

※※※This commercial match ended with Nottingham Forest's 6:2 victory over the Chinese Olympic team. After the game, all the Foresters held hands and went to the front of the stand to thank the fans, it was their tradition and it was something Donn asked them to do.

Originally, these people thought that after such a faceless slaughter of their motherland's team, these people who booed them in the first half must now be even more booed. But to their surprise and touch, the Chinese fans stood in the stands and applauded the Nottingham Forest players who were playing seriously and giving their best.

"Actually......, they know how to play well," Sun Jihai muttered as he thanked the fans with his teammates.

The people on the other side were uncomfortable, and Xie Guanlong wanted to stand on the rostrum and applaud out of etiquette. Fans who couldn't wait to make new slogans and hold them up to the stands below the rostrum to show them to the officials on the rostrum.

"Xie Guanlong is stupid! Football Association stupid! ”

Just one sentence said the hearts of all the fans present.

※※※ The post-match press conference was lively. Because since there was a commercial football match in China, Nottingham Forest was the first team to dare to beat the hosts, and this game set the record for the highest single-game goal score and goal difference for a foreign team to beat a Chinese team.

According to the traditional thinking of Chinese, when the guest comes to the host's side, he must take care of the host's face...... Ke Tony. Donn and his Nottingham Forest disagreed.

The first thing Tang En said surprised the Chinese reporters present: "I wasn't happy enough with the team's performance in the first half, we deserved to score a few more goals." But now I'm happy with the scoreline and in the second half we showed the quality of the European champions. ”

Tang knew that some Chinese media would be upset, but he had his own way of silencing them.

"Before the game, some media were worried that the Forest team, which came to play the commercial game, could not work hard, which led to a big reduction in the excitement of the game. But now I think you can let go of that worry, we're a professional team and we've had a work ethic. I am very happy to have given such a wonderful game to the Chinese fans! He smiled and spread his arms, looking very proud. After the game, the Chinese fans collectively stood up and applauded my team, which deeply touched me and showed that we have won the recognition and recognition of the fans with our practical actions! Chinese fans ......" he gave a thumbs up and spoke in authentic Mandarin, "Awesome!" ”

This passage and the performance left the media completely speechless.

Only Tang Jing snickered below, this is Tony. Donne. You don't know if you should like him or hate him...... But whether you like him or hate him, he lives in front of you so truly, a bad heart may really make him angry.

I used to fight with him when I was young, but now I see that he can't be angry except for laughing. Because he's not targeting you alone at all...... Maybe he's targeting the whole world?

Mr. Dujkovic also has nothing to say, this game has nothing to do with him, but he has to stand up after the game and accept everyone's scolding. The salary given by the Chinese Football Association is really not easy to get...... "They played very well, we tried our best. But the difference in strength is too great to do anything about it......" he rubbed his temples and weakly answered the reporter's question, as if muttering to himself.

Don glanced at him, not thinking how pitiful the old man was.

If it were him, how could he endure such humiliation? He had already scolded the Football Association, and then got up and left. You like to play with whoever you like, I won't accompany you!

After their last assignment in China, the players were given a night's rest, and until half past eleven, they were free to go out.

And Tony. Don was once again invited to his room by Alan. There are some things that they have to make clear.

Unlike last time, this time the room was also occupied by the club's president, Evan Brown. Dogety.

"The atmosphere wasn't quite right." He didn't rush in, but leaned at the door frame, probed in and looked at the two people tentatively asked.

"Tony, Tony. What are you asking me to say about you? Alan shook his head and sighed. For this manager, there are times when he really loses his temper. When he was on the playing field, he was so angry that he immediately found Don and asked him what the hell he was doing. But now that I saw him like this, I didn't know where to run with the roar I was ready to go.

Tang En hurriedly smiled: "Don't, I know what you are looking for me." Actually, Alan, don't blame me for lying to you. If I had refused at the beginning, then the itinerary and various activities you arranged in the past few days would have been affected, you think about it calmly, isn't that so? ”

Alan doesn't need to think calmly to know that of course this is the case, the two most important departments in the team have a face-to-face conflict, and it is impossible to have no impact. If everyone is vindictive, maybe many of the scheduled events will have to be cancelled.

In order to come to China, he studied the fact that many European teams have come to China in recent years to pan for gold. For example, in the summer of 2005, Real Madrid visited China for the second time, and originally arranged for all the players to go to China's national television station to record the program with Real Madrid fans selected from all over the country. But because of the direct conflict between Real Madrid's commercial department and the athletic department. The athletic department strongly disagreed with the team to participate in the recording of a TV show while fatigued, and forcibly canceled the trip. The final result was that Real Madrid missed the recording scene, leaving a very bad image in the minds of Chinese fans all over China.

Real Madrid have a deep-rooted position in football and deep pockets, and they can ignore this small influence. But Nottingham Forest, which is new to the Chinese market, cannot afford to be careful.

"I'm not an impulsive person, I've thought about it all. That's why I promised you at the time because I didn't want to affect your other plans. But I really can't agree to this thing, it violates my bottom line. I don't know what you think, Alan. But for me, a person who cares about honor, this kind of thing is tantamount to making me betray the team. I can't do that and my players don't agree with it. You weren't in the dressing room at half-time, everybody thought we played badly in the first half and they didn't want to end the game like that......" he shrugged and said nothing more.

Alan stood there a little unsure of what to say.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Don continued: "Alan, you know this team. What kind of team Nottingham Forest is, the whole world probably knows. I don't blame you at all for deliberately going against you. But this request of the Chinese Football Association is too much, and I can't accept it. It's their fault, and none of us did anything wrong. If they don't follow the laws of football, then they have to pay the price and ask for their own hardships. I know better than you about the Chinese Football Association, they have become a habit of playing games and leagues in China, and now they think they can indulge us? ”

"But, Tony. We will open a football school in China, which is absolutely inseparable from the Chinese Football Association. You ...... now" Alan finally had the ability to think, and he still spoke harshly.

Don smiled, and laughed heartily. "You're worried that I'm going to anger the Football Association by doing this? No, it won't. Allan. You don't know enough about this institution. The only person I provoked was the chairman, don't worry. His term of office is approaching, at the end of this year...... I don't know what will happen with a new term, and it's too early to say what will happen. He blinked. The presidents of the Chinese Football Association are all transferred from other institutions to work for a few years and get enough political achievements to be promoted, so they don't care about Chinese football. ”

Evan was amazed at the sight, this kind of thing was really new to him.

Hearing Don say this, Alan softened his tone. "It's incredible."

"Ha, if you dig a little deeper into this institution, you'll find more incredible things. There are things that make you feel like they shouldn't be happening on Earth at all. ”

But Alan soon spotted a new problem: "Wait. If they come over with a new leader, then all my previous efforts have been in vain? ”

"The cooperation agreed with the agency should not be affected in any way, and the relationship should not be too stiff and we will not be stuck in other small places." Don thought for a moment before saying.

Evan, who had been watching quietly, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, Alan, the matter is settled." I said Tony must have had his considerations. To be honest, I thought it was silly for the suggestion made by the Chinese Football Association, but fortunately Tony didn't follow suit. ”

Alan feigned anger: "So it's all my problem for a long time?" ”

"Ahem......" Evan hurriedly covered up with a cough, "This trip to China was perfect, Alan." Originally, some people were worried that China's commercial football was already cold, but this time we hyped it up. I've heard that Chelsea are already considering an official visit to China...... That's the best affirmation for you. ”

Tang En was also beside him to help: "That's right. You're the best I've ever seen. ”

"You only deal with the managers, Tony." Alan stopped being angry, and he said to Donn, "Anyway, what you did today made me very un-'mianzi', yes, 'mianzi'. ”

Having spent some time in China, he can also understand what "face" is.

Don didn't know how to pretend he didn't understand: "What's that?" Noodles? ”

"Don't play dumb, Tony."

"Okay, okay, in order to make up for your 'face', I decided to treat you to noodles." Don raised his hand in surrender.

"Pasta? I'm going to vomit that thing......"

"No, it's Ramen!"
