"Welcome to Wales! Welcome to Cardiff! The Sky TV reporter stood in the crowded square with a microphone in hand, and behind him was the Millennium Stadium, which was completed and put into use in 1999 and is currently the largest professional football stadium in the United Kingdom and one of the most modern football stadiums in Europe.

Middlesbrough fans walked past the camera, baring their teeth and claws and shouting: "The North will win!" Middlesbrough must win! ”

As soon as they walked over, a group of fans from Nottingham in red jerseys jumped out, stood in front of the camera lens, their faces were full of red light, raised their bottles high, and shouted in unison: "Forest Forest! We are the champions! After shouting, they burped and laughed and walked towards the entrance of the stadium.

"Welcome to the Millennium Stadium, where the final of the 03-04 English League Cup was held!"

Because the Millennium Stadium is located in the heart of Cardiff, traffic is restricted on several main roads in the city centre whenever there is a game, and no vehicles are allowed to pass except for the buses of the teams on both sides. So the fans had to walk to the stadium.

Gareth. Bale and his father were among those crowds that flocked to the pitch. Because the first team reached the League Cup final, the youth teams at all levels stopped training today. His dad decided to take Bale Jr. to see Forest's glory days, after all, he is now a Forest player and should cultivate his affection for Forest. Besides, Tony. Done was the one who gave Bale a chance, and he has been in excellent form at youth level, either at left wing-back or left midfield, as well as a beautiful free-kick. He has been promoted to the under-17 youth team, and his self-confidence has been greatly improved, which is due to Coach Donn.

Since the game is held in front of home, it is impossible to say that you don't come to see it and cheer for Don Enga.

After more than half a year of training and self-confidence, Bell is taller and stronger than before, and he often has a smile on his face when chatting with his father, and he is no longer the taciturn and drooping eyebrows he used to be.

As they lined up outside the stadium to check in for their tickets, buses from both teams arrived at the same time.

This caused a wave of excitement from fans on both sides outside the stadium, and everyone flocked to the bus of their supporter to cheer, sing, applaud and greet the team.

Because both teams' home jerseys are red, the colors of the buses on both teams look similar, and the way to tell them apart is by looking at their respective team's logos, as well as ...... Forest's red is darker than Middlesbrough's.

In the darker red bus, Donn was not seen, and the camera swept over the faces of the players one by one, not even the driver who drove the car, and still did not find the head coach of the team.

Tony. Where did Don go?

In fact, Don was in the car, but he hid in the back door of the car to change his clothes, which was not visible from the outside.

I didn't expect to arrive at the stadium at the same time as Middlesbrough, which made Done happy and hit the confidence of his opponents, from now on!

By the time Donn had changed his clothes, the Forest players in the carriage looked at the comically looking tall man reverently. Tony. Donn, the head coach of the English professional football team, has been transformed into a "feng shui master" wearing a "Taoist robe" and holding a compass! And...... Looking at his serious expression, who could have known that he was an impostor?

Apparently, Don deceived himself, and on the way to the stadium from the hotel, he was silent, silent, and kept hypnotizing himself, convincing himself that he was a feng shui master from China! In the eyes of the players, this is becoming more and more mysterious and profound, so the road in the carriage is exceptionally quiet.

When the two teams of buses stopped and then opened the doors, the camera cameras were aimed at the doors of the two teams of buses and switched to each other. The first to come down from Middlesbrough was their head coach Steve. McLaren, who later became the head coach of the England national team, was assisted by Venables. The media said of the two of them: "The best person to be an assistant coach became the head coach, and the best person to be the head coach became an assistant coach." ”

This sentence is a very incisive point out the aspects and abilities that McLaren is good at, and Done, he knows that he is still the best fit for the position of head coach, and he is the head coach of the first team.

It's a battle between a head coach and an assistant coach.

The Middlesbrough players then got off the bus one by one, but there was no movement on Nottingham Forest's side, with the crimson doors closed. Looking through the window, the Forest players stood up, looking in the same direction, but not moving.

Now, although the players on Middlesbrough's side are still fishing, the TV camera is firmly nailed to the team bus of the Forest team, and everyone has a question: Tony. Don wasn't in the car, so what were these players doing?

What are they doing? Of course, waiting for someone to get out of the car first.

Donn said to the players who were watching him in the car, "All right, guys. When you get out of the car, no matter what you see or hear, don't look surprised, it's business as usual. You know? It's no different from going to the dressing room at the City Stadium. ”

"Understood." The players replied with stiff faces.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Don nodded in satisfaction, and then he said to the driver, "Please open the door." ”

Because the Forest team has been slow to come out, people are suspicious, so there are more and more people outside their bus, and even Middlesbrough has players looking in this direction. Before the game even started, all the limelight was inadvertently stolen by the Foresters.

At this "time of all eyes", the door of the Forest team's team bus finally slowly opened, and everyone stretched their necks, hoping to see what the Forest team was like after such a delay. Unexpectedly, the first person to appear on the stage caused an uproar in the audience.

Tang En wore the Hanfu and held the compass in his hand, and walked down with square steps. It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present!

He became the real spotlight, the fans, the journalists, the TV cameras...... All of them were attracted to him and were firmly aimed at him.

And what about him? The silent crowd in front of him did not affect him in any way, as if he did not see these people and the camera, walking towards the court along the isolated passage as if no one was around, unhurried and calm, if it weren't for his unconventional dress, it would really be a bit of a "master style".

Just as serious as he was was the players who followed him, and it was clear that they were all bluffed by Donn's appearance. None of them dared to make any jokes at this time, talk and laugh loudly, listen to music, and text on their mobile phones. They honestly followed the manager, and the whole team walked to the stadium to the players' dressing room under the gaze of countless people.

McLaren was stunned by Donn's appearance, and he was stunned for a long time without reacting. Is this still a football game? Does the FA rule that coaches can wear this attire into the field?

In the midst of the uproar of the crowd, Gareth. Bell laughed. His father looked at him suspiciously, and he pointed to Donne, who was walking at the front of the line, and said, "Mr. Donn is very interesting!" I've never seen a manager like him, so I thought it would be exciting to walk in after him. So many people are watching them. He pointed to the Forest first-team players and then turned to his dad and said, "Dad, I really want to be in them now." I think it's going to be fun to play with him. Have you heard? They also used to take the subway to a game and then ran into football hooligans! ”

The son said excitedly in front of him, seemingly not afraid of the football hooligans at all. The father scratched his son lovingly, and then said, "If you continue to work hard in the youth team, I think this day will come soon, Gareth." ”

When the father and son looked up again, Don and his team had already walked into the corridor. Aside from the media, ordinary fans have no idea what's going to happen inside. But there were still a lot of people gathered around it, all expecting the media to come back with something that interested them, and then broadcast it on the evening news.

But maybe they're going to be disappointed. The TV station can only follow the door of the locker room and shoot inside the door, they have no right to enter the locker room to shoot.

The Forest team locked the door as soon as they entered the dressing room. And then no one else knew what was going to happen inside, or what was happening. Why did Don wear such clothes? Is it just for fun? To relieve pressure on the players? It can be seen that his players are more serious and nervous than usual...... And what is the one he is holding in his hand? Compass? There is no such a complicated compass...... It is engraved with square words and strange symbols...... Could this be Pierce. The "mysterious gift from the East" that Bruce mentions in the article?

He's going to use this thing to break the South Locker Room curse?!

McLaren, who was leading the team to the locker room, suddenly felt his brow jump, he stopped, turned his head to look outside the hallway, where a large number of fans and media had gathered, and they should all have dispersed at this point, either to enter or go to the bar to watch the game.

"What's wrong, Steve?" McLaren's assistant, Middlesbrough's assistant coach Harrison, saw him stop and turned to ask.

"Uh, nothing. Let's go......" McLaren shook his head.

Maybe I'm thinking too much, right?
