Volume 3 Red Forest Chapter 138 Three Days Later

If Dictingham Forest bring back a goal from away, Forest have the psychological upper hand for the second leg.

Donne, of course, still remembers this season, when Arsenal fought back to knock out Villarreal 1-0 on aggregate over two legs, and then broke into the Champions League for the first time in their club's history.

However, for his own interests, he had to brutally erase the most glorious Champions League result in the history of Arsenal clubs.

The final destination will definitely be Nottingham Forest!

But before he can actually make it to the finals, there is one thing that Don still needs to worry about.

"Don, what are you doing in the youth team right now?"

"Basic training."

Hear this answer. Don snapped his fingers, "Great. Will you come to me tomorrow after training? ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to ask you to train someone for me, from scratch. Start with the most basic parts. ”

Don guessed who it was: "George."

"Yes, it's him."

"But......" Don recalls Wood's performance on youth team, "he's always had a good foundation. ”

"It depends on what the basics are, and I want you to help me practice his shooting. Whether he can score or not, I hope he will have at least seven out of 10 shots on target. ”

"Okay, but that's not a month or two......"

"It's okay, you're going to be in the first team next season anyway. Just start working early. ”

Hearing Don's words, Don was a little surprised. Done hadn't previously told him he would be called into the first-team coaching staff so soon.

"Ah...... I forgot to tell you. Seeing Don Di's expression, Don remembered that he scratched his head, "I've decided to transfer you to the first-team coaching staff next season." Help me. We're running out of manpower, we're getting bigger and bigger, so I need more coaches. What's wrong? Seeing that Tang didn't say anything, Don asked a question.

"I didn't expect it...... Nothing more. ”

"What's wrong with that? Why did I find you in Chengdu in the first place? Isn't that just for you to come here and partner with me? There is no one in the world who can cooperate with me tacitly, only you, Don. ”

Don looked up at Don, "Do you really think so?" ”

Don nodded without hesitation.

"Okay."

Seeing Don nod, a smile appeared on Don's face.

"You're really interested in Wood."

"I have a relationship with him......"

After the next day's training, Donn left Wood behind.

The players walked past Wood in groups of three or five, laughing and laughing. Someone else winked at him. Everyone knows that Donn must have practiced when he left Wood, which is not a "leisure activity" that everyone likes.

Wood stood still, watching his teammates walk past him. There was not the slightest displeasure on his face. Extra training is really a good "leisure activity" for him.

Wait for everyone to finish. Don takes Don to the court.

"You all know each other. I won't introduce it. ”

Wood didn't expect it to be Donn, the man who came to train him. It was Don, he was stunned for a moment.

"What? I haven't seen each other for half a month, so I don't know each other? Donn joked with Wood.

"It's not...... What do we practice? Wood shook his head.

"Hmm. Practice shooting. Don said the training program. Wood was stunned again.

"George, do you know why you shot in the woodwork against Arsenal?" Donn asked.

Wood thought back to it, and he couldn't remember how he felt when he shot the goal. All he knew was that he was happy. Other than that, nothing.

Don shrugged and turned his head to look at Don.

"You don't know why you can shoot a ball in the frame yet, George." Don spoke. "You shoot again." He kicked a soccer ball and pointed to the Earth Gate in front of him.

Wood parked the football. Take a few steps back, then sprint to run, round your thighs, and kick ...... Volley!

Don and Don looked up at the soccer ball flying to the horizon, and they didn't forget to whistle before they did.

'Well, I'm convinced that his shot on goal last time out was pure luck.' Don patted Tang on the shoulder, "You've done it." ”

Don stepped forward and grabbed Wood: "George, you don't have to use all your strength to shoot. Also, why do you have to toe up? Do you remember how you practiced shooting on goal in the youth team? ”

Wood shook his head: "I didn't practice shooting in the youth team......"

Don explained to Don on the side: "When he first came to the land. When I said I wanted to play as a striker, I put him up front. The coaches also trained him the same way they trained a striker. But soon he didn't play as a striker at all, so I asked him to switch to a midfielder and they didn't let him get in touch with shooting training anymore. ”

After listening to Don's explanation, Don shook his head helplessly. "The head coach of the youth team at the time was David Crislack?"

Donn nodded.

Don didn't say anything, he turned to look at Wood. "Let's start from scratch. George, this training is very long, and it's boring, there are no shortcuts, are you sure you want to practice? ”

Wood turned his head to look at Don who was standing to the side, and then said to Don, "Demi wants me to be like him." ”

Without waiting for Tang to speak, Tang En spoke first: "Let's put aside other people's expectations first." George, what do you want to do yourself? Do you want to stay in the midfield engineer position, or do you want to ...... Make a difference? I'm not going to force you to do things you don't like. In fact, a simple midfielder is also very important for the team, and it is also remarkable to play to the extreme in this regard. ”

Wood looked down and thought for a moment. Then he looked up and said, "I want to ...... I like the feeling of shooting and being involved in the attack. ”

Don sighed, this should be what Woodland really thought.

"Good. From today onwards, you will practice shooting with Don for half an hour after training every day, and we will also practice other offensive aspects for you in our regular training. ”

Wood nodded in acceptance of the arrangement.

"Let's begin, Eun patted Don on the shoulder. Withdrew. He basically can't get involved in this kind of training, he is not a person who is good at doing these details of training, and in the first team these are the responsibility of the coaching staff. However, he could take this opportunity to observe Tang Dixun up close

practice, before transferring to the first team, there is also a more intuitive understanding. To know. It was the first time he had watched Don train a player up close.

Wood is very cooperative with Don, he is no longer as stubborn as he was when he first came here. Don was also very patient, more patient than the average person, and no matter how outrageous Wood shot the earth, he didn't show any impatience at all. He repeatedly explained to Wood what to look out for when shooting. Then break down the simplest and most basic shooting action and show it to Wood little by little. And so on and so forth, until the sun went down.

"Okay! It's all time! Donn held up his finger and pointed at the watch. He didn't even pay attention to the time, and patronized to watch the training. In fact, the training process is very boring and monotonous, but Don is very engrossed.

Sunset. Soaked in sweat, George shot the ball at the goal again, repeating the simplest of movements. The whistle in Tang's mouth sounded again, but it was a loud scolding that did not sound.

Don couldn't do this to himself, he wasn't a very patient person. Seeing Wood like this, I guess I've already been swearing - why are you so stupid! This is the simplest and most basic, so simple that it can't be simpler, and it's so basic that it can't be more basic!

But Tang didn't, and he couldn't even hear the slightest emotional fluctuation in his voice, and there was no disappointment or joy.

Hearing Don shout, Don stopped training. He calmly said to panting Wood, "Go on tomorrow, George." ”

"Well... Tak replied with a heavy breath.

"Let's go back. George. Say hello to your mother on my behalf. Don and Don said goodbye to Wood at the gate, each going in a different direction.

"The first time I saw Wood gasp and talk after training. I don't think the amount of training is much...... "On the way home." Don asked Don.

"If you do the same thing over and over again, it will make you feel tired."

"Is there really only one movement?"

Don nodded.

"Yes, practice that kid well, and strive to practice him every day! That's right. Do you feel that he has that talent? ”

Tang shook his head: "Not yet. ”

"Well......" Donn muttered for a moment, "take your time." One year to go. ”

"A year? Oh, Albertini. ”

"I've got to prepare for both......"

The two walked away side by side.

The Woodland training program is going on every day. Come rain come shine. It's not that Don is intent on connecting Wood into a devil's muscleman, it's just that he doesn't have much time. Albertini should retire by this time next season, and if Wood doesn't have any results by then, he will still be as jerky on the pitch as he was in the first two games. Donn would have given up on that and would concentrate on finding an alternative to Albertini in the summer transfer market.

It's just that at that time, whether you can find the right person is another matter. Don doesn't want to do that much now, and it's still a year or so before then.

As the venue of the tournament drew closer, more and more media gathered in Nottingham. Some people want to see if Arsenal can reach the Champions League final for the first time in history, while others want to see if Nottingham Forest, the dark horse of this tournament, can go all the way.

It was a civil war in England, but it attracted the attention of the media outside of England. Catalonia and Western Naya media want to see who Barcelona will face in the final, while Italian and Milan media also want to know first. Arsenal, or Nottingham Forest?

We'll see you in three days.

In the middle of these two Champions League ties, Forest host Manchester United. At this juncture, he ran into an opponent who was closely chasing him...... It's unfortunate.

"It's simple, nothing to be embarrassed about." Facing a sad Chris Lak, Donn told the coaching staff in his office about the next work plan. "Give up this game against Manchester United."

The members of the coaching staff were all looking at him.

"Some of you must think I've given up on the league, right?" No one answered, and even if they did, they couldn't have said it.

Donn smiled: "I'm glad we ran into Manchester United at this time, and not any other team. The reason is simple. For the Champions Cup, we couldn't give our best in this league between the semi-finals, it was almost a game that had to be abandoned. If you're destined to lose, I think it's better to lose to Manchester United than to lose to any other team. Now Manchester United are four points clear of us, and even if they win us, we are still one point ahead of them. Don cocked up his index finger,

'It's a big point, there are two rounds left in the league, who are we against?' He looked at Chrisrak.

As an assistant coach, this is the kind of question to be answered. 'Middlesbrough and Sunderland, both away.'

Hearing this answer, the coaches in the office laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Middlesbrough is the least worrying team for Nottingham Forest, Forest have a good game against Middlesbrough, and Middlesbrough seems to have a psychological shadow against Forest. The other opponents, Sunderland, are even more unthreatening - they have already been relegated early, and they have only accumulated 12 points from 35 league games, which is a miserable result, and the players are now unwilling to fight, just want to end the season early and go their separate ways.

Although both games were away from home, it was not difficult for Forest to take six points.

That's why Don said this, anyway, he will definitely be delayed for a game because of the preparation for the Champions Cup, so the delay in this game is just a match with Manchester United and only have to lose this one, don't worry about capsizing in the gutter because there is no time to be distracted, and then forced to fight to the death with Manchester United, that is really disadvantageous.

Everyone knew Tang Endi's thoughts in their hearts, so they didn't have any doubts about this arrangement.

"In this league, there are substitutes, and the main players are all rested. Prepare for the second leg of the Champions Cup semi-finals. Donn stood up, pressed his hands on his desk, looked at his colleagues, and said word by word, "We must make it to the final!" ”

Everything is in the Dundyne plan. Nottingham Forest blatantly began preparations for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester United, with almost all of their substitutes fielded and the vast majority of their main players given a rest.

Ferguson played the main force and was very clear about where he wanted to win away from home. He must also know that Donn will definitely give up this game, regardless of whether he can reverse the Forest team in the future, and the three points in this game must be in hand.

Ninety minutes later, Ferguson and Don got their wish.

Manchester United picked up the three points they wanted away from home, closing the gap on Nottingham Forest to just one point, a point they could hope for.

And Tony at this moment, for the highest goal in the hearts of all club managers, he can't care about that much.

After three days, will he be able to get what he really wants?
