The confrontation between the two head coaches on the sidelines became the most talked about topic in the future, and the TV broadcast repeatedly replayed the original situation, giving the whole process of the incident from different angles and different positions to satisfy the curiosity of the audience.

The game continues, but the protagonist has changed from the star players on the field to Tony. Don and Jose. Jose Mourinho has two managers.

"The manager stole the limelight from the players. We can say that as long as Mourinho and Don are in the game, they are the center of attention. It's a good game like this, we can enjoy beautiful goals and we can see the duel between the two managers with passion and blood...... Hahahaha! ”

The first half ended to the laughter of the commentators as Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 with Chelsea for the time being. If you take into account the comparison of the strength of the two teams, this score can make the home team Nottingham Forest feel satisfied, but considering the number of both sides, and then think about the first half of the game, Don Enke will not feel anything to be satisfied with.

※※※ The goal was conceded at the end of the first half, and the blow to the Forest players could be seen from the breathing after they sat down, heavy and rapid.

Donn stood in the locker room, watching the players silently change their jerseys.

'I remember the days before the game I was telling you what kind of team Chelsea are right now. I said if we were ahead, we had to watch out for their counter-attack. Now my words have been confirmed and we were equalised by Chelsea, who were playing away with one man less. It looks like the goal was conceded because Wood didn't guard Drogba, or because Piquay went off injured, leaving us with one less person to target Drogba, but in reality? Donn spread his hands, "We were pressed by them for twenty-five minutes before conceding the goal!" Helpless! If they're a little more lucky in those 25 minutes, they'll score at any time, and then it's definitely not a draw now...... We're completely limited by them, aren't we? Attack, can't attack. Guard, guard is difficult. ”

The players didn't speak, obviously they felt that way. Chelsea are really strong and we only know that after talking to them directly, it's no wonder they can keep the pressure on leaders Arsenal in the league.

"That's it!" Don suddenly raised the volume of his speech, "Don't keep your head down!" Let's look at it from another angle, conceding late in the first half wasn't necessarily a bad thing, at least we had more time to make adjustments, and their rhythm was interrupted by a fifteen-minute break. It was just a draw, do you think our goal in the first half was luck? Ferreira was sent off and we were lucky? Chelsea are not invincible and they have a number of weaknesses. Frank, why did the second half of the first half look like missing? ”

He called Ribery's name.

"I ...... Uh, I'm back defending......" Ribery's English has improved very quickly compared to when he first arrived at Nottingham, and there are no major problems in listening or speaking.

"Well, you remember the second half: keep playing in the first half of the first half. Our offense is mainly on the wings if you and Ashley. Yang is missing, how can we fight back? You two listen, this is how we played on the wings in the second half......" Donn turned back and drew on the tactical board, "Your task is not to get a low cross from outside the penalty area, get the ball and try to ......cut inside from here," he drew two diagonal arrows into the box on both corners of the penalty area. 'Push the Chelsea defenders into the box, try to hold the ball and try to break them once you're in the box! Just be bold in the penalty area and watch out for your opponents. ”

Ribery and Ashley. Yang nodded at the same time.

Don turned to look at George again. Wood: "George, would you mind telling us about your one-on-one relationship with Drogba?" ”

Wood looked at Don and then spat out a phrase, "He's strong." ”

"Of course, £24 million is not just talking." Don shrugged, "Your task in the second half is the same, and Piqui is the two people who defend Drogba, don't give him too many chances, if he has the ball with his back, don't give him space to turn, be careful of his long-range shots." If he passes back, leave him alone, let him pass, but never let him take the ball and face the goal. Don't underestimate this big black guy with rough technology, do you understand when I say that? ”

Wood nodded.

Assigned individual tasks, Donn began to talk about the team's tactics: "Guys, you all saw it. Chelsea pressed very hard at the back and that was the key to their ability to attack continuously. So in the second half, I ask you to be a little more concise. Be fast in your catches, fast in your runs, and fast in your passing! We can't give Chelsea the chance to steal the ball from our feet. It's very dangerous to keep the football spinning around in our second half. If you can't find a suitable pick-up teammate for a while, you can drive the ball to the front, see? Crouch is so tall that if you shave your hair again, it will be a beacon to show you the way forward in the fog! ”

Donn patted Crouch the shoulder, and his teammates laughed.

'Well, if you look at the standings, we're not too bad at the moment, Chelsea are second, we're 13th, 11 places off. If we treat ourselves as ordinary promoted horses, this result can also be reversed, and there are many teams who have already made up their minds before they meet strong teams to win less losses. But we can't do that, why? Because we are not like them, we are no ordinary promotion horses. This season we are not aiming for relegation, we have bigger pursuits. We are at home in this game, so there is no reason to be satisfied with a draw. If we don't win the game, I promise you won't have a day off the next day. From this game, I want the guys to understand that if we can win then I must not accept a draw. If it's a game we can't win, I'm not going to accept defeat! ”

※※※ Don sat alone in his seat, it was halftime, and most of the fans took advantage of this time to go outside to drink some beer, eat something, and replenish their energy. He wasn't interested in any of this, because in the first half he didn't shout frantically, clap his hands and stomp his feet, and his physical exertion was almost zero, and his throat didn't hurt like those around him.

Nottingham is a city with a lot of international students, so it's not uncommon for fans with yellow skin and black hair to look at the Oriental-faced fan, and no one has given the Forest youth coach a second look.

Don is the head coach of the team, and he gets a certain share of the tickets before each home game, and he leaves one for Don every time, whether he goes to see it or not. Most of the time Don chooses to watch at home, while also being able to record and have clear replay and slow play, which can help him analyze the game.

But today, when it was raining, he chose to come to watch the game. Towards the end of the first half, he saw two managers go one-on-one. Such a scene, if he were to be the head coach of the Forest team, would never have happened. More than once he has thought about what he would do if he were the head coach of this team.

There are so many differences between him and Donne, who wants to be his assistant and manage the team with him, but he is thinking about whether his surname can work well with such a flamboyant person. Although we all live together, we are completely unfamiliar with the work because one is in charge of the first team and the other is coaching in the youth team.

Don always said that they must be able to cooperate well, cooperate well, just because they always get together at night to study all kinds of videos? Don always felt that he didn't know that person at all, and that the actions he sometimes made were completely incredible. For example, when he faced off against Jose Mourinho just now, wasn't he worried that it would anger Chelsea? You know, Chelsea are in second place, and they haven't lost a game since the first six rounds of the league!

The rain was still falling, and the number of people around me was gradually increasing, and the second half of the game was about to begin.

Don didn't know what Mourinho said to his players at half-time, but the Chelsea players looked scrappy and didn't feel at all bleak because of one man missing. But he wasn't worried, as his players were just as scrappy and didn't get frustrated by a ten-man equaliser.

Both teams are in good spirits, what about the two managers?

Naturally, the fighting spirit is also strong.

The two sides fought from the pre-game to the middle of the game, to this one, naturally no one wants to lose to anyone, otherwise...... Losing three points is a small thing, but losing face is a big thing!

Your boss is rich, you won the European championship, and you accept strong generals, am I going to be afraid of you?

No matter how rich the boss is, no matter how many championships he has won, no matter how famous the players are, it is useless to play the game, and the score speaks!

In the second half, we fought again!

Chelsea in the second half did not change much tactically compared to the second half of the first half, intensifying their pressing up front and then creating chaos for the Forest team and exploiting their mistakes.

It was this approach that Chelsea managed to equalise in the first half, and Jose Mourinho believes that the inexperienced Forest side will be helpless in the face of such a pressing defence like a wave, and then make a lot of mistakes that are not normally possible. But Mourinho is smart and Don is not a fool, so how could he not be caught off guard when Chelsea relied on that tactic to score the equaliser in the first half?

The Forest team began to consciously play long passes in attack, giving Crouch in front. And if the opponent is not pressing too hard, turn the ball to the wing and give it to Ribery or Ashley. Yang, it is up to them to decide the details of the attack. And what about Forest's backline? Everyone minimized the amount of time they spent on the ball, and the defenders even had to kick the ball forward with their big feet, regardless of whether Crouch could receive it.

With the Forest's players being so resolute in carrying out this tactic, ten minutes passed and Chelsea found that they were running and intercepting up front to little effect. Every time they saw a Forest player not far in front of him get the ball, he hurriedly pounced, but the opponent did not hesitate to kick the ball behind them...... It's really irritating to watch, Chelsea's pressing tactics have been curtailed, but at the same time Forest's attack has been too simplistic and crude, with a low success rate. The game was a stalemate, with neither side having too many chances, just a constant flow of mistakes and mistakes.
