Not long after Eastwood scored a hat-trick, he seemed to have become Forest's striker and scorer. And George? Wood has just signed a new contract with the team and has been promoted by the Forest team as the next captain's successor. The two of them are at the heart of Forest's future, and Donn doesn't want any contradiction from his big men.

He felt that the current situation could be regarded as a small crisis, but it was also a great opportunity to deal with the relationship between the two that had been a headache for him for a long time.

After the last day of training before the competition, Donn gave a brief order for tomorrow's game, and Chris Rac, who was next to him, announced the end of training.

"Have a good night's rest, guys. Take it easy, I don't want to see someone on the pitch tomorrow with their calves still shaking. Donn added.

The team erupted in laughter, and the crowd dispersed.

"George, Freddy, you two stay." Don gestured to Wood and Eastwood, who were about to walk out.

The two parties were a little surprised by Donn's move, and the other players looked at them and were not surprised.

Even David? Chris Rac was gone, and when there were only three people left on the training ground, Donn, Wood, and Eastwood swept his gaze over the faces of the two people in front of him, Eastwood looked very uncomfortable, and he didn't know what to put on his usually smiling face now. George? Wood was silent and expressionless.

Eastwood doesn't like Wood for good reason, and Wood and Eastwood have a bad relationship probably because he feels that Eastwood's attitude towards him is too different from that of his teammates - he thinks that Eastwood looks down on him, and since others don't like him, he doesn't need to be cheeky and want others to like him. That's probably what Wood had in mind.

Don pondered in his heart, and then asked, "Do you know why I want to keep you two?" ”

No one answered this question, because whoever answered, whether they answered "know" or "don't know", would make them feel that they had lost face in front of the other person.

Don, who knew the thoughts of the two of them, smiled, no matter what, these two were just young people...... "Have you read the nearest newspaper, or surfed the Internet?" ”

Both shook their heads at the same time.

"Well, it's the same whether you see it or not, and you know a lot better about it anyway than the reporters who only know how to make things up. You must know in your hearts why I left just the two of you here, okay, let's not stand here and pose, there are no paparazzi around. I know, Freddy, you're still obsessed with George shoveling you, and I'm not the kind of person who asks people to forget personal grievances easily, but I also know you're not unreasonable, are you? ”

Eastwood kept his head down and didn't speak, and he didn't know how to answer such a question.

Donn turned to Wood again, "George, I'm sure you've known about Freddy's relationship with you. I ask you, did you apologize to him after you knew it? ”

Wood was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Sure enough, this stupid melon!

Tang En sighed in his heart, it seems that there will be no result today, knowing the original situation of the matter but not wanting to solve it, and not knowing the original situation of the matter so not thinking of a way to solve it, are completely different things.

George? Wood now knew what was the cause of the terrible relationship between him and Eastwood, but he did not do anything of kindness and friendship to make the victim Eastwood feel better.

This kid who can't be a man!

Looking down at his watch, Don waved his hand: "That's it for today, both of you will start tomorrow, I don't want you to let this affect the state of the game." Whatever grievances you have, don't bring me to the field. Go back and get some rest. ”

Looking at Wood's back, Don shook his head helplessly. It's really like my former self, I want to save face...... It's a very simple sentence, but I can't say anything.

When the bus of Sporting Lisbon and the bus of Nottingham Forest arrived at the city stadium at the same time, the fans gathered in the square became excited, and the fans of the home team sang the team song of the Forest team loudly, and they spontaneously stood on both sides of the road, playing signs in the form of high-fives, no one directed, but they were uniform, quite imposing. Most of them wore green and white Sporting Lisbon jerseys, waved the Lisbon flag, sang songs in Portuguese that the British could not understand, and the police officers around the stadium and in the middle of the square were vigilantly scanning every corner of the place. Although Portugal is not rich in football hooligans, England does ...... What's more, this kind of "life-and-death battle" related to which team can advance, the fans are more fierce and the police are expected, and all the flames that may lead to chaos must be directly extinguished.

Fortunately, everyone behaved sensibly and nothing unpleasant happened. It wasn't until the players of both teams got off the bus and entered their respective locker rooms that the fans gathered in the square entered the stadium one after another, and those who did not have tickets went to a nearby bar to pay for the game, and the police were relieved to see the crowd gradually thinning out in the square.

Since Tony? After Donn took over the Forest team, whenever there was a home game, these policemen were always the most tired, because the number of fans who returned to the city stadium to watch the game increased significantly, and the fans' enthusiasm and expectation for football and this red forest team returned, and the fanaticism naturally returned. But all this was not taken seriously by the police at first, after all, the Forest team has been in decline for a long time, the city stadium is not full at its most lively, and there are fewer and fewer football hooligans. Many times, the police officers in charge of stadium security are nothing more than routine.

But since that name called "Gavin?" Bernard's innocent young fans were killed by fan turmoil, everyone began to take security seriously, and the police had to re-examine how much Nottingham Forest can make waves in the city.

Following Forest's successful promotion to the Premier League, it has become routine to deploy a large number of police officers at home games again.

The crowd in the square thinned out, the singing in the stadium grew louder, and the police, who were patrolling outside, glanced at the high wall.

The game is about to start.
