Tony in public. Don, December 12 may be a memorable day. Because this is the time since he returned to the position of head coach of the Forest team and began to lead the team for ten consecutive years. Tony, though. Tang En has two identities, so in fact, the first day of January is probably the one that he will remember more permanently.

January 1, 2014, was the ...... he traveled through for 11 years. I'm afraid this can't be counted as a "commemorative story", right?

Crossing this kind of thing, no matter what the outcome may be, is not worth remembering. Because it means that you have gained a lot of things, but you have permanently lost something else. What you gain may not feel precious, and what you lose will never be recoverable.

So on January 1, Done was still busy preparing for the FA Cup three days later. This is the first round of the FA Cup of the season for Premier League teams.

In Donne's mind, he has won almost all the championships he can win, but there is still a regret - as England's oldest and most important competition, his championship coach has a blank result in the FA Cup, which is really inconsistent with his current status.

So on the first day of January, he made himself a New Year's wish for Leon. One of them is: no matter what the results of the other competitions this season are, he must win the FA Cup!

The other is that I want to have a baby in the new year.

I have been married to Shania for four and a half years, and as long as they have the opportunity to be together, then the most important thing must be to "make people". Although once she is pregnant, it will definitely affect Shania's career, but Shanya herself does not care about this kind of thing. However, in the past year, Shania has rarely mentioned "children" and has instead focused on her work.

In fact, Don knew in his heart that Shania's desire for children had not really decreased, and she just didn't seem to want to put pressure on herself...... If the wife is infertile, in most cases the responsibility lies with the man. On more than one occasion, Don had the urge to go to the hospital to check himself. But when it came to the end, he retreated, and this kind of thing was really ...... It's better to let yourself have illusions. It must not be your own problem, it must just be bad luck. Haven't I ever encountered such a thing as being off target? When I went to the shooting range to shoot at the beginning of military training in high school, I had ten shots and zero rings, and the guy next to me had ten shots and one hundred and one rings - I still shot a ten-ring, but I just missed the next door......

Don sometimes wanted to call Don, who was in the same city, to ask if he had any previous illnesses or family history. But in the end, I just think about it in my head. He can only hypnotize himself now: "It must not be my problem, it must be just bad luck......"

If the FA Cup is also won, I wonder if the wish of "having a child" can also be realized......

Don made a move on this day that would have seemed strange to outsiders. He found a piece of paper and wrote on it: "I want a child, boys and girls, as long as he/she is healthy." No matter which way the gods are, if you see it, help out! ”

Then he carefully folded the note, put it in a small glass bottle, and buried it under a tree in his garden. When I buried it, I still had words in my mouth: "In the spring, I plant a seed, and in the fall, I can harvest a child......"

It's a good thing that Shania isn't here, otherwise she would have been annoyed by Donn's move - if you have time to "plant children", it's better to "cultivate" with me.

It's really a rush to the doctor......

※※※

Don only thinks about the child's affairs occasionally, and if he thinks about it every day, he won't be able to stand it. There is no urgency in this matter, having a child and winning the championship are completely different things, taking the championship to set a goal, and then the whole team is working towards the goal. Having a baby doesn't necessarily work hard. Countless young couples won the bid without accidentally wearing a condom that day, and those couples who are eager to have children may not be fruitful after working hard for many years......

Nottingham Forest's first FA Cup opponent is Championship side Leeds United. The original "Young Guards" are no longer what they used to be, and now they are in a financial mess, their results are also up and down, and last season's Championship League was almost relegated back to the first division. The FA Cup meeting Nottingham Forest may seem unfortunate to outsiders, but it is actually one of Leeds United's most desirable opponents – the game is played at Leeds United's home stadium and ticket sales go to Leeds United. Nottingham Forest are now the star team, just a Tony. Don is enough to attract popularity, not to mention those well-known stars, who are all a guarantee of the box office. For Bates, who is not a big tycoon, a pound is money, and he will never throw it on the ground if he earns it himself.

The opponents in this game were not strong, and Don sent half of the first-team and half of the youth team, and the result was a 3-0 win away to Leeds United.

Adriano. Mock was named Man of the Match after the game, contributing one goal and two assists, with all three of Forest's goals linked to him. His sharp breakthroughs and dazzling skills on the flanks made opponents unguarded and addicted to the audience's dreams.

Although Lennon's departure made Donn a little unhappy, Mock was very competitive and grew up very quickly. It seems that the years of wandering outside have helped him a lot. Don believes in the saying that hardships make people grow, so he deliberately made Mork's career not so smooth, and now it seems that the original effort has not been in vain, and it is time for the harvest season...... I just hope Lennon has a good time at AC Milan.

The FA Cup was the first game played by the Forest team in the new year, and Donn valued this good start, 3-0, or a complete victory, and the opponent did not score a goal, which seemed to indicate a good omen for the new year.

The following month, his hunch was confirmed. Eastwood and George. Wood released his suspicions, and the atmosphere of the team returned to a happy state, with high morale and unity.

Nottingham Forest have won four straight league games in January. Donn was then named Coach of the Month, and Nottingham Forest was named Team of the Month, George. Wood won Player of the Month. In the league standings, Forest also returned to the first group, sitting fourth.

As we enter February, another important event kicks off. The UEFA Champions League is back in action, with Nottingham Forest taking on PSV Eindhoven in the quarter-finals as part of the round of 16. This opponent is the weakest opponent that the Forest team has faced in the first round of the Champions League knockout round in recent years.

Does it seem like UEFA is giving special treatment?

PSV Eindhoven played at home first, and they were very tenacious at home to draw against Nottingham Forest and managed not to let Forest score, Aaron. A group of Premier League goalscorers such as Mitchel and Ibisevic failed to find the back of the net for PSV Eindhoven, which angered Donn, who yelled at a group of players in the dressing room for five minutes, scolding everyone until they didn't dare to look up.

At the end he said viciously: "You better pray that there will not be another draw at home, and it will be a goal scored!" ”

This 0-0 battle has a lot of people gloating, Tony. Don is so arrogant in European football that everyone wants to see him unlucky. The away team was forced to draw by the "underdog" PSV Eindhoven, and he has not yet scored the away goal he values most. There are also optimistic predictions in the Netherlands, believing that it is not impossible for PSV Eindhoven to eliminate Forest and advance to the quarterfinals. Didn't Nottingham Forest also start as a dark horse in the first place? What's more, strictly speaking, PSV is a strong party, and it is not a dark horse.

"Goal: Quarterfinals!"

Before Eindhoven left for Nottingham, the local Dutch media posted such a striking headline.

Donn responded in Nottingham: "The goal is only the quarterfinals? It's really unproductive......"

The mouth should be a little harder, and the preparation under the hands should not be sloppy. Donn gave up his previous league game for this game, in which his team finally stopped their winning streak. Of course, the Black Donne's will see this as "Nottingham Forest have had a bad year lately, and after a setback in the Champions League, they have stopped their winning streak in the league and look like they haven't been in good form lately......

Don ignored it, it's not good lately, don't you know if you try it?

Before the game, Donn instilled in his players a winning belief.

'If you are knocked out at home to PSV Eindhoven, you can imagine for yourself what the consequences will be.

This sentence is compared to roaring at them a thousand times, "We will definitely win, because the other side is stinky shit!" "It worked.

The fear that you can't see is the real fear.

No one wants to be scolded by the boss in the dressing room for five minutes or more, and no one wants to be ridiculed after losing to PSV Eindhoven. And no one wants to lose the game and the championship. This Nottingham Forest team is a team with a tradition of winning and winning titles, they have long been accustomed to wins and honours, defeat? They hate failure.

PSV Eindhoven manager Hooper. Stevens was fairly clear-headed, and he was not encouraged by the media. He still has the same counter-attacking lineup he did at home. He expected that Don would be in a hurry to attack because he wanted to advance, so he only needed to defend and counterattack to draw a cold shot, and he earned it. He has that confidence because his team have managed to hold on for 90 minutes at home.

As he expected, Donn was in a furious attack at home, with Mitchel, Ibisevic, Bentley, Fernandez, and Shahin. Donne's 442 had only one defensive midfielder, Gago and Thiago did not play in this game, and Wood led the midfield to fight PSV Eindhoven's counter-attack on his own.

Stevens was still snickering when he saw the starter. But within ten minutes, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Nottingham Forest have already hit the woodwork with two shots. PSV Eindhoven's defenders, who performed well in the first leg, were unable to defend themselves against the onslaught of Nottingham Forest's attacking players.

Amid the incessant singing of the home fans, Nottingham Forest finally opened PSV Eindhoven's goal in the 27th minute. The scorer was Ibisevic, whose powerful header smashed past the goal of Sweden international Isaksen.

It was as if a hole had burst in the embankment, and the ensuing defeat of Eindhoven was swept away by the flood of Nottingham Forest.

In fact, the lineup is not much different from the first leg, but Nottingham Forest, which is unwilling to lose to PSV Eindhoven, bursts out with energy that Eindhoven did not expect, as if a nuclear bomb exploded, and the shock wave drowned them, and there was no life left......

In the 40th minute, Mitchel's header scored. 2：0！ The Forest's high-altitude bombing tactics were quite successful in this game. PSV Eindhoven's defenders were helpless against the one-meter-tall Ibisevic and the two-meter-tall Mitchel.

Stevens was restless and very anxious on the sidelines. With two goals behind, this game is not going to be good...... PSV Eindhoven need two goals to do it...... But look at the posture of the Forest team, if you pounce and attack them, the goal can be scored, and the goal will be conceded later, what's the use?

In the second half, Forest continued to play with the ferocity of the first half, and there was no intention of giving PSV Eindhoven a breather. It seems that Tang En was obviously stimulated by the comments of those outside media, and everyone must see whether this tiger's ass can be touched or not.

In the 51st minute, Nottingham Forest scored again. This time it was Bale who scored the goal, and he relied on a direct free-kick to score.

The goal completely crushed PSV Eindhoven's fighting spirit.

It seems that the tiger's ass is really untouchable......

PSV Eindhoven then completely lost the initiative on the pitch and they tried to counter-attack, only to give Forest more opportunities to be counter-attacked.

At the last moment, the Forest team entered the penalty area after a team cooperation, and the defender's header clearance error gave the football to Mitchel, and the pie fell from the sky, Mitchel was unceremonious, stretched out his foot and poked the football in, and sealed the victory of the game 4:0.

"Look at the performance of the PSV Eindhoven players, there is only one thing on their minds right now, and that is to get out of this noisy stadium as soon as possible!"

Despite taking a big lead, the Forest fans in the City Stadium stands were not trying to let the PSV Eindhoven players go, and every time the visitors picked up the ball, they were greeted with a loud boo, and unless the football was on Forest's side, they would not have the slightest room to breathe.

When the referee was very considerate to end the three-minute injury time at one and a half minutes, the whole Eindhoven team was relieved. After this battle, I'm afraid they will be against Tony. Donn's disgust and that of this team grew even greater......

In the post-match interview, Donn was very cool, he cherished words like gold. Someone how he saw the victory in this game, he only said: "I'm sorry to disappoint some people!" ”

Who are the "some"? Those who have ghosts in their hearts know it themselves.
