Although Tony. Don didn't really take off his pants, but he did get checked by the two overseers. His entire body was turned over to prove that he really didn't have any communication equipment, and the battery of his mobile phone was removed in front of him. While unloading the battery, Donn's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration. He wants to ask someone to buy him a copycat mobile phone in China next time, and it can still be used after removing the battery, and he must tell those foreigners who don't know anything to be careful!

Don was amused by the thought of himself.

The two overseers next to him had black faces.

"Looks like you're in a good mood, Mr. Donn, aren't you worried about the game at all?" One of them beat around the bush to pick Donn's thorn.

"I don't have to worry about anything about the winner." Donn shrugged, "Is the check done?" ”

"It's okay, no problem, you can go to the stand." The two made a gesture. They won't follow Don in the stands, their place is in the box, and Nottingham Forest treat them well.

Don turned around and left, not even saying "goodbye".

The two overseers are still resentful of how they have been treated.

"When it's time for the game, see if you're still rampant!"

They said viciously to Donn's back.

※※※

There were more and more fans in the stands, and all kinds of singing and shouting rang out over the city stadium.

Tony. Donn climbed the stairs and walked to a stand.

"Hey, guys!" He greeted the fans who were standing in front of him with their backs to him.

"Forest Forest! Nottingham Forest!! When the group finished singing the last verse, the fat man in the lead laughed: "Look who's coming, guys!" You poor wretch who was sent to the stands - Tony! Welcome to the Robin Hood Grandstand! ”

Fat John gave Tony. Don gave a warm bear hug, and the enthusiasm almost made Don breathless.

After John had finished hugging, the others came up to him one by one and hugged him to welcome him.

With his suit off and a Red Forest shirt and a scarf around his neck, he looks no different from an ordinary fan, and it is not easy to find it once he enters the fans.

"Tony, what's going on with the stadium?" Skinny Bill gestured to the pitch below the stands.

Don glanced at it, then laughed. Isaksen did a good job, visually identical to Wilford's No. 3 training ground.

"Are our turf maintenance workers sleeping? How do you play in such a venue? ”

Someone in the crowd chimed in.

Don smiled and said, "Looks shocking, right?" It's good to see what the game has in a while! ”

"Ahh Bill reacted, pointed at Don and said, "You scoundrel! ”

"Badass! Bad apple! Tony is a badass! The fans next to him immediately shouted slogans, just like they were cheering for the team during the game.

"I made a small gift for Barcelona, I hope they like it."

A crowd burst out laughing.

"But this kind of venue, our people are not suitable for it......" Some people still have doubts.

"Hah! What do you think we're doing with a week of closed training? This time it wasn't Don's turn to give him a solution, and John laughed first. He's got it.

Don watched the excitement of the crowd of fans and stood to the side laughing without saying a word. To be honest, it's a shame not to be able to stand on the sidelines and see the look on Mr Guardiola's face when he sees this piece of pitch......

When everyone was done laughing, he asked, "The club didn't tell me the exact location, it just said to sit with you." So...... Where is my location? ”

John pointed to the middle, "Center!" Among us. ”

"Good!"

※※※

Chris Lack's loud voice rang out in the home team's dressing room: "Warm up! Warm up! Warm up well! Remember the condition of the pitch for this game, you have to warm up more seriously than any previous game! You can get tackled on the pitch, but I don't want you to hurt your ankle while running! Think about what you've been doing for the past week, how could something like that happen to you again? ”

Chris Rac walked around the locker room, but everyone just thought he was the background music. Someone else asked Don, "Where will the leader be during the game?" ”

"North Stand." Don replied.

The North Stand, as Fat John called the "Robin Hood Stand", is the area where Nottingham Forest's most hardcore and fanatical fans gather, and every club's home stadium will have such a stand, some are North Stand, and some are South Stand. The North Stand of City Stadium is located next to the River Trent and across the river from Mad's Lane, home of their rivals Norts County.

"There, the head must be like a fish in water."

"Hehe, that's right. He's Nottingham Forest's number one fanatic die-hard fan! ”

Don had the feeling that the atmosphere that had been a little restless because of Chrislack's constant noise slowly eased after knowing Tony's location. The head coach is really the backbone of a team, no matter how good the assistant coach is, he can't steal the light of the head coach......

※※※

The first to warm up was the Barcelona team, and Donn could tell from the size of the boos that rang out from the scene. So he got up and left his seat, stood up and looked down.

He would love to see the faces of the Barcelona players as they look at the pitch, which is a little bit of a bad taste for him......

The Barcelona players came out of the alley, then stopped in unison on the first kick on the pitch, and then looked at the pitch in front of them with puzzled faces, and some even wanted to turn back.

"What are they thinking? I bet they must be thinking – it's weird, did we run the wrong course! "Sitting in the corner of the stands, an old man in his fifties and a man in his sixties was smiling." Yesterday, when I got used to the venue, it wasn't like this! Hahahaha-"

Glenn. Shervy patted Thompson. Isaksen's thigh almost fell to the ground. Isaacsen was also delighted to admire the masterpieces they had worked hard all night on.

Pep Guardiola and members of the coaching staff followed the players out, only to find them all standing on the sidelines, not warming up on the pitch.

Pep Guardiola's assistant, his assistant coach in Barcelona's second team, Vilanova, found it strange and asked: "What are you doing?" Why not warm up? ”

"Coach, this ......" Puyol stood up as captain to represent the team and negotiate with the coaches.

"What's wrong with the venue?"

"It's not the same as yesterday...... "Professional players are very sensitive to the field, and although yesterday's training ground was also terrible, it was still not as good as today's.

Guardiola didn't listen to them continue, but walked on the field and stepped on it, and experienced it for himself to have a say.

After only a few steps, his brow furrowed.

"Three indiscriminate!" He cursed under his breath.

"Josep, what's wrong?" Second assistant coach Eusebio (an assistant to former head coach Rijkaard, not the Portuguese star "Panther" Eusebio) noticed his strangeness and stepped forward to ask.

"They've changed the turf and the site has been given special treatments." Pep Guardiola glanced up at the home team's dugout and saw that it was empty, and that's when he remembered Toney. Don is banned for this game, so if you want to find it, you should look for it in the stands.

Eusebio was a little surprised: "There is such a thing? Wasn't it normal when we came to acclimatize to the venue yesterday? ”

"Maybe they changed after we warmed up and left...... An all-nighter. ”

Eusebio for Tony. Donn's shamelessness was shocked: "How could he do this!" ”

At this time, Nottingham Forest also came out to warm up, and Eusebio saw Don at a glance, who was always inseparable from Don, and he rushed up to ask him face to face: "Mr. Coach, would you like to explain what is going on in your stadium?" ”

Don looked confused: "Catalan? Spanish? Please speak English. ”

Eusebio saw Don's reaction and realized that he was not speaking the lingua franca of the world for a moment, and jumped directly into his hometown. He had no choice but to readjust his emotions, and once again angrily pointed to the turf of different colors on the court and questioned in English: "Such a bad turf, our players are bumpy when they step on it." Where is this venue for football matches? Don't you have anything to say? ”

Tang suddenly realized: "Oh, the city stadium has recently been maintaining the previous turf, so it has been replaced......"

"Just replace this patch of turf?" Eusebio was furious when he heard Don say this.

"Small club, finances tight, no spare good turf, I'm sorry." Tang bowed slightly, with a low posture, telling the people over there in Barcelona to lose their temper if they wanted to......

In fact, these were the answers that Donn had prepared for him to face Barcelona's questioning. Tang En expected that this kind of turf would definitely cause some people's ideas, so he prepared corresponding answers in advance, and it was naturally foolproof when the time came.

Moreover, Nottingham Forest did notify UEFA a few days in advance that they were going to maintain the turf. It's normal to change the turf, so UEFA didn't take it seriously, nodded and agreed: "You guys change it!" ”

As a result, Barcelona was stunned by such a piece of the strongest stadium in history that UEFA had never expected.

Even the two UEFA superintendents, who are used to seeing the world, were stunned for a long time when they saw this stadium. They thought they were on the other side of the river at Mad's Lane – a Premier League club that had been playing in the Champions League for a long time and had just won two trophies and a league title a few years ago, and it was ...... There is nothing to say.

Eusebio wanted to say something, but was pulled by Guardiola.

"We were yin by them, and there was nothing to say. It is impossible to change the land again, and since they are determined to maintain the turf, it means that they have taken everything into account. ”

Eusebio is upset: "We can react to UEFA'......"

Don suddenly pricked up his ears next to him: "UEFA? ”

It was a sensitive moment, and the English media held on to the close relationship between Barcelona and UEFA a week before the game, and repeatedly hyped it up to prove that UEFA had a shady scene and that Barcelona's home victory was given by UEFA. Anyway, it's not a matter of a day or two for UEFA to be unhappy with English football, and the English media doesn't even give face to themselves, how can they give UEFA face? So "UEFA" almost became a forbidden word at this time. As long as Barcelona mentions UEFA, it will arouse other people's associations......

Eusebio turned back to him angrily and said, "Don't you understand Catalan!" ”

Don just put on an Oriental smile to him and didn't say anything.

Eusebio was really helpless against such a group of shameless people, and he could only follow Guardiola and avoid Don.

"It's useless to complain to UEFA, the game is about to start, and UEFA will reschedule the game because of such a small thing as turf? And it's not that the stadium can't be played...... We have to let our own players be careful. However, we will report the condition of the City Stadium to the fourth official after the game. Guardiola looked helpless. He's been thinking about Tony all week. Don returned to his home stadium and didn't expect Tony to have a strategy in the event that he couldn't command the game. Don didn't play according to the rules and played such a hand.

Making a fuss on the field, the planning before and after is well-arranged, and there is no omission, it is really "unscrupulous for victory"......

But with such a bad field, my team can't play, can your team play?

Just when he thought that the game might not be as bad as people thought, Guardiola suddenly remembered that Nottingham Forest had been training behind closed doors the week before the game, and even did not hesitate to offend the local media in his country to cancel their regular press conference, so no one knew what they were practicing......

Maybe, isn't it...... Are they training on a training ground with similar conditions?

When Guardiola woke up suddenly, he found that he was sweating behind his back, cold sweat.

This Tony. Dawn!

He unconsciously clenched his fists.

※※※

When the assistant coach was arguing with Don, the Barcelona players next to him were all huddling around and whispering. Someone else ran to ask Piqué because he was the only one of these people who had and Tony in public. Don is the one who has played football together.

Piqué could only honestly say, "That's the kind of guy he is...... In order to achieve his ends, all means can be used......"

"Wow, doesn't that feel bad to play under him?" Someone exclaimed.

Piquet heard them say that about Tony. Don smiled wryly and muttered, "It's okay......"

He then looked at the empty Nottingham Forest dugout. He can imagine how the Nottingham Forest players would feel – it must be cool!

Because when he was still at Nottingham Forest, whenever the boss made such a move against the enemy, it always resonated with everyone.

"We have to do everything that makes our opponent uncomfortable, and that can make us profitable."

This is what the leader once said, and it is really embarrassing to recall it in this scene at this moment. Because he has become the "opponent" in that sentence.

※※※

"Warm up!" Vilanova shouted from the sidelines, urging the players to warm up. "But be careful, don't get hurt, this is a terrible place, don't get hurt!"

As soon as he shouted this, all the Barcelona players who were warming up on the field became shrugged. Because no one wants to leave the game before the game with a warm-up injury, especially those who have already been put in the starting line-up......

On the contrary, when the Nottingham Forest players stepped on the pitch, they all had a look of surprise on their faces.

They felt familiar, too familiar...... Because this course feels exactly the same as Training Ground 3!

"Did they move Number Three here?" Akinfeev even leaned down and took off his gloves to touch the turf to get a taste of the real touch.

"I trained on it for a week and suddenly felt very familiar...... Hey, look at what the Barcelona players look like, haha! Pepe suddenly pointed to the other side and smiled.

Everyone looked at his hand and laughed. Barcelona's players seemed to be warming up in a minefield, tiptoeing as if they could fly so that they wouldn't have to suffer from such a terrible field.

"Look at the way they look, I think we've won this game!" Lennon shouted excitedly from the side.

George. Wood poured cold water on him: "Don't underestimate the enemy. ”

"Alright, guys! Chat time is over! Chrislak's loud voice chased him from the dressing room to the pitch, and a crowd ran up to it. As if to deliberately anger Barcelona, unlike the restrained movements of their opponents, they have powerful steps, agile and agile bodies, and high fighting spirit. Walk on the uneven pitch.

This is the result of their practice twice a week and the cost of three injuries.

It's a real home – no one in the world but them can adapt to the turf of the city's stadium right now.

Philosophers like to say: there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same.

Tonight's Nottingham Forest players will retort to him: No, there are indeed two identical leaves in the world, one at Wilford and one at the City Stadium.
