Volume 6 Crimson Chapter 127 Revisiting the Old Things

Although Don threw out the remark that "if you lose, you are not a man", he is still not at ease. Don't look at the confident look he looks on the outside, in fact, his inner pressure is no less than anyone else's. You know, the pressure on the players will only last until they get home from the pitch to the home, and the pressure on the manager can last for days. So he can't be sloppy.

In addition to motivating the players with words, he had to think of other ways.

Inter Milan had arrived in Nottingham and Jose Mourinho joked in an interview at London's Heathrow Airport that he didn't feel like he was playing away because England had so much to know him. Mourinho in the TV picture has a relaxed smile on his face, and he looks like he is in the chest. And he didn't care that reporters mentioned Nottingham Forest's two away goals in front of him.

"I think it's good for us. Yes, Nottingham Forest have had two away goals, while they have also managed two. We're different, our away game hasn't started yet, so why can't we score three goals at the City Stadium? ”

Looking at the tone and demeanor of his voice, it really makes one wonder that it was not Tony who got the away goal advantage. Donn, but he......

※※※

"It's psychological warfare." Don snorted. "Jose Mourinho really has nothing new, he has regressed after staying in Italy for a long time. He used to be like a kitten with sharp teeth. ”

In his office, Don doesn't have to worry about walls and ears or paparazzi sticking tiny cameras and microphones into his field, so he can taunt Mourinho without fear.

Hearing Donn's analogy, Chrislak laughed out loud. He has no liking for Mourinho himself, but he obviously doesn't have any liking for the "enemy Mourinho".

After commenting on his opponent, Don will look at his assistant Don.

"Don, are things ready?"

Don nodded, handing Don a disc to Don. Don didn't put it in the CD player, but held it in his hand and played with it repeatedly, and his face was reflected on the plate, which was a little blurry.

"I decided to show them this twenty minutes before the game." He put the disc on his index finger and spun it.

"What's that?" Chris Rac was a little curious.

"It's not a good thing for us." Don glanced at Don, but it wasn't really a good thing for Don. That was probably his biggest failure since taking charge of Nottingham Forest alone. He wanted to save some face for Don, and he didn't want to make it too obvious.

"It was the quarter-final of the Champions League in '08/09, Nottingham Forest's home game against Inter Milan." Don himself introduced.

"Ah, that game......" Chrislak was completely out of curiosity. That game was a painful memory, and he really wouldn't want to think about it if he could. "Tony, you...... Why do you want them to watch that? ”

"Let them relive old dreams." Don shrugged.

"That's a nightmare...... Chrislak muttered.

"Reliving their dreams will only make them lose their motivation to move forward. I don't think the stimulation is enough. ”

Chris Rac knew that Don was the one who said the same, and his mouth squirmed, and he stopped talking. just glanced at Tang with some sympathy, after all, the game was personally commanded by Tang...... Suddenly, in an instant, he realized what it meant to be "unscrupulous for victory."

Don had no objection: "Tony consulted with me, and I agreed. I also think it's a good idea. ”

In order to meet Don's requirements, and in order to make the picture more impactful, he needed to watch the game many times and select the best shots to edit together. For Don, it's like looking in the mirror and looking at his own most embarrassing moments over and over again, and putting his own shortcomings under the microscope to analyze. No one likes this feeling.

But for the sake of the team, Don has to do this kind of work.

Chris Rac felt that it was hard work to be Tony's assistant, but luckily it was Don who was busy with all this, not him......

"That's it, guys. Let's give Mourinho a lively welcome party! ”

※※※

On the day of the game, there was a huge crowd around the City Stadium, and a large number of fans walked along the banks of the Trent River to the City Stadium. There were already a lot of fans in the stands, including some of Nottingham's most die-hard fan groups, John and Bill from the Forest Bar.

They arrived at the stadium ahead of schedule and were busy hanging banners.

"Welcome back to England, welcome to City Stadium, Jose!"

Looking at the first sentence, it seems that Mourinho and they are really friendly, but the next sentence exposes the hostile relationship between the two sides: "You won't win this time!" ”

Not to be outdone, Inter Milan fans are certainly not to be outdone, and they have their way of fighting back.

A group of Inter Milan fans hung a banner with the score under the stands, on which the scores were 2:0 and 3:0, with 2:0 being Inter's home score and 3:0 being their record at the City Stadium.

Since Nottingham Forest entered Tony. No team has scored three goals at the City Stadium since the Don era and kept Nottingham Forest out of the line. Mourinho did it.

This matter was not worth mentioning, but because of Tony. Donn's repeated provocations, Inter Milan fans simply wrote in bloody colors to stimulate Nottingham Forest fans, as a kind of response to their constant provocations.

These two games, especially the home scoreline, are indeed "painful memories" for Nottingham Forest fans.

The opponent scored five goals at home and away, and did not score a goal himself. In the game at the City Stadium, the Forest players were holding back their energy and wanted to give Inter Milan a little color when they returned to their home stadium. Who would have wanted to open the game for Inter Milan to take advantage of Forest's rush to press the attacking goal and sneak up on it. After being led by three goals, Inter Milan relaxed more and more, while Nottingham Forest played more and more anxiously. When the whole team was counting on their acting head coach Don to stand up and turn the tide, Don looked at the field helplessly, not knowing what to do at all.

In the end, the team became more and more chaotic, and Inter Milan seized consecutive opportunities to score goals, and completely defeated the fighting spirit of the Nottingham Forest players 3:0. Then the game went into garbage time.

After the game, some local Nottingham media angrily said that judging from the performance of the game, if Inter Milan scored another goal, the Nottingham Forest players would collectively raise their hands and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy.

Even the Forest fans, who almost never boo their own team from the stands, couldn't help but let out a shrill boo.

After that game, countless Nottingham Forest fans gathered in major pubs to talk about the same issue -

What would that guy look like if Tony's guy was still around?

Now they have a chance to know the answer.

※※※

The buses of the players from both sides had already arrived at the stadium for the pre-match warm-up. However, the Nottingham Forest players arrived a little earlier, and when they entered the stadium to warm up, there were only about a quarter of the people in the stands, and the Inter Milan players had just departed from their hotels.

When the Inter Milan players arrived at the stadium at the usual time to warm up, they found that the Nottingham Forest players were preparing to leave.

This is surprising to some because as is customary, everyone comes out to warm up, so why did the Nottingham Forest players end their warm-up so early? With just over half an hour to go, what are they going into the locker room now? Take a shower and go to bed?

The Nottingham Forest players rubbed shoulders with the Inter Milan players and didn't care about the puzzled stares of the Inter Milan players.

Of course, all this is arranged by the boss. He asked the team to take advantage of the home team's early entry into the City Stadium to start warming up and then go back to the dressing room. He has something mysterious and wonderful to show everyone......

Everyone was guessing what it meant to suddenly play a "movie" half an hour before the game started. Who still has the heart to watch a movie at this time?

Don smiled and didn't speak. Once everyone had entered the locker room, he turned off the lights and turned on the DVD projector and TV.

After a brief black screen, a voice rang out in the small space of the locker room:

"Ibrahimovic!! Ibrahimovic!! Nice turn and volley! Just three minutes into the game, Inter Milan took an incredible lead! Now Inter Milan is 3-0 ahead of Nottingham Forest on aggregate! Poor Nottingham Forest...... Of course, they wanted to bring down Inter Milan at home, but they didn't expect to concede another goal, so it wasn't a bad game......

Many Forest players in the dressing room looked moved. They may have made a lot of guesses, but none of them expected that the leader would show them this...... Players who have experienced that game will not easily forget the humiliation - the home fans in the stadium were booing the team they originally supported, but they couldn't do it, they could only run around behind the opponent's ass, and the rhythm of the game was in Inter's hands from the beginning. They didn't even have the power to fight back.

Even Forest players who haven't experienced this game don't have to worry. Tang's excellent editing is enough for them to feel the original 0:3 scene.

In the opening three minutes, Ibrahimovic scored a goal.

Then Sandton scored another goal at the start of the second half. By this time, Inter Milan had a 4-0 lead over Nottingham Forest and had two away goals. Nottingham Forest will need to score at least five goals in the remaining 40 minutes if they want to progress, and they can't afford to keep their opponents on the scoresheet. This is an impossible task for such a forest team.

Finally, some fans in the stands couldn't stand the torment of such a scene and let out a piercing boo. Then the sporadic boos continued to form and finally became the unstoppable mainstream voice. The narrator's voice was even more shrill in the boo: "Since Tony. Haven has never seen a game like this since he became the head coach of this team. The Premier League's most loyal fans booed their home team...... I don't even know what to say...... The Nottingham Forest players are really bad! ”

The players who played in that game felt like they had gone back to that day, and experienced that scene that made them all bow their heads, not wanting to look at the TV screen anymore, and even wanting to cover their ears if possible. The boos were so harsh that it was as if a needle had been pricked in their hearts.

And those players who joined the team later also understood after watching such a game - for Nottingham Forest, who was still the defending champion at that time, and Nottingham Forest, who were once unafraid of the infinite scenery and thought that the whole world was in their hands, this blow was too heavy......

Amid the shrill boos, the commentator's shout for the goal rang out again: "Third goal! Who is it this time? Samuel! In the chaos in front of the goal, Samuel got the ball, and there was not a single Nottingham Forest player next to him! It's incredible! …… 3:0! Inter Milan leads Nottingham Forest 5-0 on aggregate! Twenty minutes remaining, but I would like to say ...... Looking at the performance of the Nottingham Forest players, the game has gone into garbage time. ”

No one could stare at the screen indifferently after hearing such words, except Tony. Dawn.

The coaches, including Don and Chris Lack, looked away from their TV screens, and they didn't want to relive the nightmares of the past.

Don is such a demon that forces them to recall such a cruel game. And he's still smiling - the light from the TV screen is reflected on Don's face, and that expression is supposed to be a smile!

Instead of turning on the lights immediately after the game video clip was played, Donn used his hoarse voice in the dark to tell everyone what he was doing so.

In this environment, his voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, hoarse, sometimes low, sometimes sharp, and uncomfortable to listen to.

"Is anyone still speculating why I'm showing you something like this? I know that game is definitely not a 'good memory' for some people. I just want you to know that some failures can be passed with a smile, and some failures must never be forgotten! What will you do if the enemy wants to humiliate you? Honestly crawling under his crotch? No! That's not our style! You should put your head on their testicles as you climb under his crotch! Knock them to the ground and then step on them with your feet! Go stomp! Go grind! Until the yolk comes out!! If you don't want this to happen to you again, if you don't want your supporters to turn against you and cheer on your opponents, if you don't want your enemies to tease you for being a bunch of thong-wearing after they've defeated you, then remember this game for me! We lost 0:3! It's like being crushed by eleven strong men, and there is no power to fight back! Do you like to be annihilated? I don't like it anyway! I feel sick! ”

Don said this before turning on the lights in the locker room.

The instant return to light made many people still a little uncomfortable, and they covered their faces with their hands and squinted their eyes to hide in the shadows.

"How does it feel to be back to reality?" Tony. When Tang En spoke again, his tone and emphasis took a 180-degree turn, completely devoid of his previous harshness and reprimand, and his squinting eyes and smiling look were really harmless to humans and animals. But those who know him know that the more Tony is like this. The more dangerous Don is. "Many of you must have breathed a sigh of relief in your hearts - luckily it was just a dream, wasn't it? Dreams and reality are closely linked, and now Inter Milan has opened the door, is this a dream? If you're not careful, the nightmare will come back! I don't want to hear boos from the home fans in my stadium, for the rest of my life, never! You know what to do, right? ”

"Yes, Chief!" And will a fool say "I don't know"?

Don slapped his face, "That's good. Remember how you felt in the dark, and never forget, guys! That's one of the most valuable assets of your career......"
