(Apology announcement: The decision to bring Ribery, who had been injured and left in England, to Turkey and to send him to the field due to the author's own negligence, was too cruel for the French, who could only walk on crutches.) People can't walk anymore, and they let him play. This is indeed my negligence and carelessness, and I am really sorry for causing such a ridiculous scene! Later chapters will be changed to Petrov. Thank you all for the reminder and correction, and apologize again! ）

The revelry of the home fans continued until the game resumed, and Don tried to speak to Don next to him, but with a mouth, he found that he couldn't even hear his own voice. Behind him, there was a huge noise in the stands, filling every corner of the stadium. Besiktas's players are playing with more and more ease under this noise, while Nottingham Forest's players are a bit tight, unable to perform at their usual 50 per cent level due to the hapless goal conceded and the frenzied atmosphere on the pitch.

It's a bit of a bad situation.

If it's just a goal, it's nothing to Donn. He has seen a lot of games that fell behind first, not to mention that it was only twelve minutes, and there is still a lot of time to catch up.

But if the team's overall performance is not normal, it will take a headache for the manager for a while.

The home of hell really lives up to its name......

He decided to step up and be on the sidelines to give the players confidence and encouragement and calm them down. If he was still sitting in the coach's seat with Erlang's legs crossed at this time, then it was not the opponent who felt bad, but his own people.

He leaned over and stood out.

As soon as he left the booth of the coach's box, Don saw a dark shadow flying from behind him and falling to the ground. He reflexively looked down and saw that it was a lighter......

Before he could look up, the second and third pieces flew in again. This time it was a coin and a ...... A mobile phone!

Don was frightened, not because the fans threw debris down, but because there were really fanatical fans who were so crazy that they threw their phones down! I used to think that throwing a pig's head was appalling enough. This dude is throwing ...... DON TOOK A LOOK AND FOUND THAT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY FAMOUS IPHONE, AND IT WAS A RED SHELL...... Maybe it was thrown down by a beautiful fan.

Don leaned over and picked up the phone, he wanted to dismantle the case of the machine, take out the phone card and throw it away. But in this case, he was obviously not allowed to look down and study this thing, and after a long time, he would be noticed. So he fumbled a little, but didn't find a way, so he threw his phone back to the coach's seat. He made a "put away" gesture to Don, who looked confused, and ignored the dense "raindrops" falling from behind him.

Need to make adjustments?

No, there is no need to adjust anything, and the psychological problems cannot be adjusted on such a noisy sideline.

Donn is here to hopefully give confidence and composure to the players on the pitch, to calm them down, so that they can turn their heads and see him and know that he's with his team at all times as a manager.

More and more debris fell at his feet, coins of various denominations and various types of lighters were the mainstream, in addition to mineral water bottles and caps.

Donn, on the other hand, stood on the sidelines, neither looking back at the Turkish fans who threw things and yelling, nor complained and complained to the fourth official. He hopes he does so to make it clear to his players that complaining about the home frenzy might be a good excuse for them to lose after the game, but it shouldn't have affected them.

※※※

Besiktas took advantage of the situation to attack wildly, hoping to take another city and kill the Forest team completely.

For a while, in the wild cheers of the Turkish fans, the Forest team was beaten in embarrassment and exhausted. The all-out defense is full of holes, not to mention the organization of the attack.

Besiktas's attacking style is characterized by playing short balls and concentrating in central midfield, with defenders penchanting to rush forward and forwards with a wide range of movement to pull the opposition defence and create scoring opportunities for their team-mates who come in behind. Therefore, Besiktas is not a team that relies on strikers to score, but on ...... Overall. They tend to put five or six players in front of the box in order to create scoring opportunities.

Because of the courage to invest troops in the attack, the courage to boldly press, coupled with the atmosphere of the scene, it gives people a feeling of "Besiktas's attack is endless, blooming more, and the momentum is like a rainbow", I believe that the players of the Forest team must also think so. They were dazzled by Besiktas's multi-point attacking strategy, one moment left, one moment right, and one moment in the middle, and they could do nothing but run back and forth to clear the siege. Offensive? Let's pray we don't concede any more goals!

After watching it for about five minutes, Donn's brows tightened more and more, and finally he stopped screwing and turned all this force into an angry roar: "George! What are you running around! Organize the defense for me! Don't run with the ball! Are you all booed! ”

It's no wonder Donn is so angry, Nottingham Forest are most proud of their defence, especially the overall defense. The overall defense of the Forest team that entered the state really wanted to be a dangerous jungle shrouded in layers of fog, and any opponent who came in would lose their sense of direction and fall into a quagmire from which they could not extricate themselves. The overall formation is maintained very well, the advance and retreat are orderly, no matter how the opponent dispatches, the defensive formation of the Forest team will not be chaotic, so there will naturally be fewer flaws.

But look at the Forest's defensive formation right now, completely disrupted by the opposition's multi-point flowering strategy, George. Wood had good stamina, running from left to right, running up and running down. But defense is not a one-man business, the Forest's defense has always been a whole defense, and no matter how good he is, he can't replace the other nine.

Besiktas' head coach was also inspired by the goal just now, allowing Delgado to run with Wood, but not to be the real attacking core, just to dangle and make space for his teammates to attack.

So Donn had to get his players to reorganize the defence.

As a result, as soon as his voice got up, it was drowned out by the boos of the huge home fans.

George. Wood relied on his perverted physicality to chase back a ball that didn't belong to the Forest team. Although he did not stop and rushed out of the sideline, he rubbed the ball back with the sole of his foot at the moment when the football was about to go out.

Forest then launched a fast attack, this time finally hitting Besiktas in the box, only for Ruud van Nistelrooy to shoot past opposition defender Gokhan. Zan's personal interference missed.

When the football flew out of the goalpost, the boos at the Inonu Stadium were slightly quieter, and many Besiktas fans held their breath because of this frightening moment, and naturally forgot to boo their opponents.

It was the quietest time in the stadium since the start of the game.

'It was twenty-seven minutes into the game before Nottingham Forest had their first shot on goal...... It's pathetic. Any team visiting Turkey will feel painful, trust Ni. Don felt it too. His side had no chance in front of the mighty home team and their fans, and this was the second time they had a shot on goal in the 30-metre area of the game. This was matched by Besiktas's seven shots on goal with four on target. The commentator smacked his lips, and such disparities in statistics don't really reflect how much advantage Besiktas had in this game.

Donn found that his shouting was ineffective in such a noisy environment, because the players on the pitch couldn't hear it at all, even if he shouted hoarsely. He couldn't go find a megaphone to shout.

"This is the fucking home field!" Don cursed. But he soon regained his composure, and now he can only take advantage of the football out of bounds or when the two sides foul and the game is suspended, so that he can pull the Forest players close to his side, and quickly give the opportunity to face to face, and then they will relay it to other teammates.

It's a bit of a strenuous, but it's a normal one. If you watch a football game, you can often see the head coach pulling his players on the sidelines and making deployments quickly, while the players nod their heads while drinking water. Take a few sips before heading back to the court. Sometimes it's for a single player, sometimes it's for everyone, like now.

By using the wide players as the microphones, Donn finally told everyone on the pitch what he thought.

Nottingham Forest's frantic offensive after Besiktas's goal has gradually stabilized. Because the score has not changed further, it shows that they are not as embarrassed and embarrassed as everyone thinks in terms of results.

It's only one goal behind, and there's still drama.

Forest's defensive system is in Van der Sar and George. Wood, as well as Ayala, re-established.

The rest of the game was boring.

Nottingham Forest defended solidly and would not press easily without a very good counter-attacking opportunity. Anyway, it's just to hold on, to defend, and then to defend. The highest goal is not to concede any more goals.

Besiktas was bent on scoring again, and the defenders and full-backs took turns to plug in, and it was lively to play more. But if you take a closer look, you can see that most of their attacks ended in front of the penalty area – either from distance or disrupted by the Forest defence. There were few opportunities to break into the Forest box and threaten Van der Sar directly.

What does this mean?

This shows that Besiktas's advantage is not as obvious as the statistics suggest, but it is just that the frenzied home advantage has injected a lot of water. So, in that case, there is still a lot to do in this game.

Don relieved himself and returned to the coach's box, and the "lighter rain" and "coin rain" outside gradually stopped.

Donn, who walked back to the dugout, did not forget to pick up a few Turkish coins and lighters from the ground, which he kept in his hand and played with repeatedly.

Chris Rac thought it was strange: "What are you picking up these things for, Tony?" ”

"Free souvenir of your trip to Turkey, don't be in vain." A coin worth one lira in his hand. "And this, the official souvenir of the Besiktas club...... "He picked up a metal lighter with the Besiktas logo embossed on the surface.

CHRISLAK COULDN'T HELP BUT SMILE WRYLY WHEN HE SAW HIM LIKE THIS: "WE'RE ALL LAGGING BEHIND, YOU STILL HAVE THE HEART TO COLLECT SOUVENIRS......" HE STOPPED BEFORE HE FINISHED SPEAKING, BECAUSE HE SAW DON HAND A RED IPHONE TO DON, "...... This is also a souvenir? ”

Don took it and nodded to Chrislak, "Sort of." ”

Chrislak glanced back at the stands behind him: "Why didn't anyone throw gold watches and diamond rings......"

"Don't think about good things, David." Donn smiled and punched Chris Lak before pointing at the court. "We're lagging behind, but I'm not worried at all. Because I found out that Besiktas is just a paper tiger, and all reactionaries are paper tigers, and there is nothing to be afraid of. But it's so noisy right now that I can't talk about a lot of things, and I'll tell them all about my plans in the dressing room at halftime. ”

In the deafening cheers of the Turkish fans, the referee's half-time whistle was almost drowned out, and it was still by looking at his gestures that everyone knew that the first half was over. With a one-point lead, the home team walked off the pitch contented, holding their heads up and receiving the cheers of their supporters.

The Nottingham Forest players ran down the tunnel with their heads down, dodging the debris that could be thrown from the stands at any moment, and on the other hand, they wanted to go back as soon as possible and get as far away from hell as possible. Don was the last to enter the corridor, and he stood on the sidelines, watching everyone return to the locker room under the sparse "rain of debris" before getting up to leave. At Yongdaokou, he met the opposing head coach Zagrem.

The other party said something to him in Turkish, but Don didn't understand a word, just smiled and remained polite. With these words, Zagrem turned and walked into the corridor, and Don followed him. He doesn't really need to know Turkish, and he has a rough idea of what the other person is talking about.

Because of that expression, he was familiar with it - and often on his own face.

Show off your might, in your home stadium, there are so many people shouting and cheering, and it is understandable that they are in the limelight.

But there is an old Chinese saying that the best laugh is the last laugh, and this gentleman must not know.

There are still 45 minutes to go, and it's not certain who wins and who loses.

Don guessed eight or nine is not far from ten, after meeting Donn by chance, Zagrem suddenly thought of the insult he received at the press conference the day before the game, plus the team was ahead, and on a whim, he ridiculed Donn a few words. He didn't expect Don to understand his own Turkish, just to vent.

Aren't you playing big names, British? Who is leading now? It's us Besiktas!

※※※

The door to the locker room was opened, and the noise outside poured in, followed and disappeared again - the door was shut.

The players were startled by the change in voice, and they looked up at the man standing in the doorway, their backbone, Tony, the true spiritual leader of this team. Dawn.

At this moment, the expression on this person's face was not friendly.

"You've let me down so much. The atmosphere at the City Stadium is also notoriously frenetic in England, so could Nottingham Forest, who have been trained in this atmosphere, be so vulnerable? "Donn's opening remarks are concise and straight to the point." Look at your performance in the first half, it's not much different from shit, the only difference is...... Shit doesn't run around. ”

Tang En really wants to scold people, but he is ruthless, whether it is scolding the reporter's opponent or his own people. It is bitter and harsh, and it makes people feel that there is a dull pain in their bones. So the only way not to be scolded is to always stand by him.

"It's only the last ten minutes, and you're doing a little bit like that. But that's not enough, if you want to get out of this damn place with three points, it's not enough. Don stretched out his right index finger and shook it, and he jerked up his voice. And even better! I was standing on the sidelines, behind me, and above my head all the stuff that the Turkish mongrels had thrown at me. He pulled coins and lighters out of his pocket and showed them to the players. If you let this thing hit the back of your head, your head will bleed. "But I'm just standing there, completely ignoring such provocations and demonstrations! What's the big deal! If you can win, even if those idiots tear down the stadium stands, I'm not going to hide! You have to show that courage! The enemy wants us to be scared and then raise their hands and surrender so that they can defeat us without much effort and then humiliate us again. But it also exposes their weaknesses - in fact Besiktas are not as good as they are, you think they are tricky and difficult to deal with because of the illusion of the fans! ”

"They can't even get into our penalty area, except for the long-range shot that is destroyed by us, this kind of attack is too weak! What is there to be afraid of! Why are they so rampant? It's not that our defense isn't good enough, it can't really be better...... It's because our offense is more *** weaker than theirs! Donn started to draw the formation of the two sides on the tactical board, and then he pulled all the circles representing the Besiktas defenders straight up front. Their defenders are very fond of pressing and getting involved in attack, whether they are full-backs or centre-backs. And they don't have a winger, once the two full-backs get into our defensive third, they choose to cut inside and break into the box from the ribs, or pass the ball to the middle, which will press our defence back into the middle and give the two full-backs to the assist to create enough space. ”

"But, in the meantime?" Donn circled a big circle with his pen in the second half of Besiktas and then pressed hard. "Theirs here...... A blank slate! Vast areas of no-man's land, countless defensive holes, as long as our offense can be beaten, it is a golden opportunity! Unfortunately, in the first half I barely saw a decent attack that we could exploit the empty space. Don tossed the marker and clapped his hands. You're only thinking about how to defend against the opponent's offense, but you're not thinking about how you can use their offense to help our defense – offense is the best defense. You're tired of hearing that, aren't you? Ordinary fans will hang on their lips, but do you know the real meaning of this sentence! As long as we add a fire to the attack, one or two threatening attacks, we can make them restrain and greatly reduce the pressure on the backcourt, so that our attack can dare to press and dare to invest troops. That's 'offense is the best defense'! ”

"If you want to shut up the 20,000 idiots out there, you have to step up your attack in the second half, you have to be resolute, you have to do everything you can to get the football to the front, whether it's a pass or a personal breakthrough. Also, in the face of so much pressure, everyone should be clear-headed, and I don't want to see those unnecessary mistakes anymore. With that, Donn glanced at Lennon. If it weren't for the kid's hot-headedness in the first half, how could the Forest team be caught off guard by their opponents?

If it's 0-0 now, it should be Besiktas, not Nottingham Forest, who will be down in despair.

Lennon also knew that Donn must be talking about himself, and he kept his head down and said nothing.

"Why are we using a 4141 formation? Why should I put two attacking midfielders in the middle instead of two defensive midfielders playing 4231? Although this is a defensive counterattack, the real key is not 'defending', but 'counter-attacking'. In the first half we were pressed to defend, and in the second half we had to fight back! I don't believe that you can still be angry in your heart when you are beaten like this? Do you want to see the Turks say after the race: 'The European champions are also rubbed under our feet'? I don't want to! ”

Don waved his hand, then looked at his watch: "There are still a few minutes, rest and rest." You can listen to soothing soft music, think of a warm home, a beautiful wife and a lover, to soothe that frightened heart in the first half. He waved his arms and circled in the air, as if that way the players would be relieved. Feed...... Are you really scared? Is psychological intervention needed? He asked, glaring. Oh...... No way? We're not playing in *** Iraq! ”

The exaggerated expressions and contrasting words made the people in the locker room laugh for a while.

"Nobody is afraid, chief!"

Don nodded: "It's good if you're not afraid...... If, anyway, when you get back on the pitch and you hear the deafening boos, you feel a little weak in your legs. You think, if we lose this game, there are countless people waiting to divide our corpses, and no one will sympathize with us, they will only laugh and ridicule us. And we don't even have the right to refute! Because we're losers! Underdog...... There are no human rights! ”

※※※

When the Forest players returned to the pitch, the banner that read "Welcome to Hell" was still hanging in the stands across the road, but no one looked at it again.

Because the Nottingham Forest players suddenly remembered something that they forgot in the first half because the game was too intense.

If hell is here...... Their leaders are creatures known as "devils" and "demons."
