Volume 3 Red Forest Chapter 95 The War Between the Two 2 (I)
Chelsea are in good form and Nottingham Forest are in perfect form, although there is still time
It's early, but I'll say it again – welcome to the 11th round of the English Premier League, where Nottingham Forest host Chelsea! I'm John #8226; Mortenson, the venue for our review today is Gary #8226; Lineker. Gary, what do you think of today's game? ”
"Mourinho is not a manager who pursues the path of artistic football, he has publicly declared himself a Capello cult, so we can see what kind of coach he is. He values the results over the scenes, the results over the process, so he has a sharp attacking line-up for Chelsea, but he plays very carefully, and I think the '1:0' doctrine is the best interpretation for him, but I believe that in this game, Mourinho will not insist on his '1:0' away game."
"Because his opponent is Tony #8226; Dawn? ”
"Yes, this is the only one he hasn't beaten last season. We don't know what the relationship between the two of them is privately – Mourinho has also attended a labour certification hearing for Forest's Pepe, and Mourinho has approached Don to talk to him ahead of the UEFA draw...... But I think on the football field, the two of them are enemies. Jose Mourinho will not allow himself to lose to Donne, and Done will not be willing to lose to Mourinho, and both managers will definitely use the 'most convincing' way to win while focusing on results: attack. So, it's going to be a very intense game......"
There was still an hour before the start of the game, and the two people on the live broadcast stage were already busy.
In fact, as early as half a day before the start of the game, the English media had already gathered in Nottingham. Although there is a north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur today, it is the game in Nottingham that will attract the national attention even more.
As the media have been touting, most of the people watching this game are not Chelsea fans or Forest fans. It's quite a lot of neutral fans...... In the post-match statistics, there are still many women in the crowd who pay attention to this match! They probably don't care which team wins, they just want to see if it's Mourinho or Toni #8226 who has the last laugh; Dawn.
The Sun was not wrong at all, it was a "war between two people......
With forty-five minutes to go, the City Stadium stands were almost full, and were divided into two distinct sections – the dominant red square, and the blue squares concentrated on the visitors' stands.
Red and blue are traditionally two colours in English football, with most teams having their home kits red or blue. Although there is no conclusive evidence. But Routledge's 1867 book, The Football Handbook, was probably the first to suggest that the team should wear different colours to play, and that there were two colours to choose from, red and blue. If it can be arranged in advance, one of the parties wears a sweatshirt of a certain color, such as red, and the other party wears a sweatshirt of another color, such as blue. This way you can avoid confusion and indifference to bad intentions to get the ball away. I've seen this happen a lot, and I've been hearing apologies like, 'I'm sorry, I thought you were one of them......'"
This is probably the earliest reason why most teams in English football today wear red or blue shirts. So in English football. There is the so-called traditional "red and blue war", and the sworn enemies in the same city are mostly red and blue. For example, Liverpool's two teams, Liverpool and Everton, Manchester's Manchester United and Manchester City, and Arsenal and Chelsea, which have only recently become enemies.
Now, Forest and Chelsea are also caught in the maelstrom of "red and blue......
When the team is not out of the field. Fans of both sides are already in full swing in the stands.
Forest fans chanted that Chelsea were now a ruble army, a group of mercenaries, who had long lost the traditional spirit of English football and had become the toy of Russian bosses. Chelsea fans chanted "We are *** rich" to respond to the provocation of Nottingham Forest fans, and even Chelsea fans held up signs with the book "Do you want us to pay for you to buy a stadium?" "To mock Nottingham Forest, who can only accommodate a measly 27,000 people, on a measly small pitch.
The Nottingham police were afraid that the fans of both sides would cause clashes and bloodshed before the game, so they set up three rows of wide blank barriers between the two teams' grandstand squares. In the middle stood two rows of riot policemen back to back, heavily armed and wearing steel helmets. Holding tempered glass shields and batons, he stared vigilantly at the fans with blushing faces and thick necks.
Nottingham Evening Post, Pierce, #8226; Bruce saw this scene on the bench and exclaimed: "It's hard to believe that these two teams have not had any hatred for more than 100 years......"
Da's media and both have the same personality as the unruly head coach. Taken together, these two teams are quickly opposed.
There's no way Bruce doesn't know this, but he doesn't want to admit he's a fan of the fuel — and sometimes he thinks he's not the same kind of people as the paparazzi who make up the news and sensationalize, and the idealism of the original is still in his mind.
Thirty minutes before the start of the game, players from both sides showed up on the pitch to warm up. The fans in the stands finally stopped attacking each other, and everyone's attention turned to cheering for the players who were supporting their team.
It can be seen from the warm-up players that both sides are elites, and there is no intention of preserving strength at all. Although in three days' time, Chelsea are away to Real Betis. Four days later, the Forest team will travel to Portugal to take on Benfica......
"Sure enough, it fits the two of them - neither wants to admit defeat in front of a sworn enemy." Mortensen counted the players who were warming up on the field. Then I compared it with the list of appearances I just got on the ground. Sure enough, there is no shortage of a main force.
Chelsea fielded all the main players they could, and so did Forest.
Lineker laughed next to him: "Isn't that funny? The two of them are exactly what we expect. Previously we would have been worried about Alex #8226; After Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, there is something else to look forward to in the English league. Now there is no need to worry...... We also have Mourinho and Toni #8226; Dawn! ”
With fifteen minutes left before the game, the warm-up on the field was over, and the players from both sides rushed into the corridor and returned to their respective locker rooms. There will be born what is unknown to all but are interested.
At the same time, the square outside the city stadium is gradually deserted. Here comes a dark red Audi A6.
"Late?" There was a somewhat shrill voice from inside the car.
"No, Mr. Dogetty has asked to come at this time. If there are too many people, we are also worried about squeezing you." Another voice rang out.
The door opened, and the first person who came out was a man in a black suit, he went around and opened the back door, and the first person who came down was a woman - Freddie #8226; Eastwood's wife with a baby in her arms. Then jumped out of the car was a little boy.
The man waited for them to leave the car and leaned in. Helping out the gypsy Eastwood.
"Okay, thank you, but ......" Freddie saw that the other party seemed to have the intention of helping him all the way to the stand box, and quickly waved his hand to stop it, "I can go. It's just going to be a little slow."
Serem gently patted the sleeping baby in his arms and said to the man, "Let him go by himself."
The man was a little embarrassed: "But you have a leg, and Mr. Dogetty has specially instructed us to ......"
"Chairman Doggty wants to see a healthy Eastwood too, right?" The gypsy striker said, "I'll go up, no problem." With that, he took a step towards the dedicated passage to the main stand.
The man hesitated behind him, walked up quickly, and followed.
"Gone, baby." Serem waved at the little boy who was looking around.
While Eastwood was slowly but hard climbing the dozen or so steps. Don is in the locker room making the final touches on his players.
The tactical board is already a mess, but it doesn't matter. No one looked at it, and the real tactics were already imprinted in their minds.
"Guys." Donn looked at the players who had changed their jerseys and sat in their respective positions, "Last season, the English League champion was our opponent in this game. This season, they haven't lost a game so far and are high on the charts. Regardless of what I personally think about this team, about Mourinho. I have to admit that this is a very strong and very effective team."
With that, he paused to look at the players, who were a little confused.
"Look at each other's faces...... Are you wondering why I praise our opponents before the game? Does anyone think I'm joking to liven up the atmosphere? Don shook his finger. No, no, I'm not kidding, I'm talking from my heart. Chelsea are really strong, very strong, they won the title last season almost unbeaten and almost drew Arsenal's unbeaten record in the 03-04 season. But! He suddenly changed his words, and everyone was in good spirits. Why do I say 'almost'? Because they still lost one game in the league! Can anyone tell me who they lost to!? ”
At this moment, everyone in the locker room yelled in unison: "We!! ”
"Almost all teams in England have to bow down to Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, but there is only one team that is not afraid of them! Tell me, who is that!? ”
"I-we!!" Almost everyone got up from their seats, craned their necks and roared, like wolves in the forest.
