The next day, Donn led the team to the away game.

Thirty-six rounds into League One, Forest are now down to seventh because of the last defeat, but they are only four points away from third, and the situation is not at the end of the road. The media scolding is still in his ears, and Donn is deaf to it, but contrary to himself, he will even read to the players after training the comments about the Forest team in the newspaper published that day, of course, he only picks and chooses the bad.

Walker didn't understand, and Donn told him he would know before the game.

Brighton are their opponents for this fixture, having finished fourth from bottom in the league and just one point away from the relegation zone. They desperately need a victory.

Others may think that this is a tough battle for Forest, away from home against a team that needs to be relegated, even those big teams cannot be guaranteed to win. But Donn thinks his team can do it.

If you think that Don En spends all his time on a woman these days, you are very wrong. He has carefully studied Brighton's results in the previous 11 rounds, with three draws, four defeats and four wins, and the results of these three games are separated by a few consecutive wins, which shows that this team is very inconsistent. They won at their home stadium in the last round of the league, but that doesn't mean that this team has a high home win rate, and they have won just five of their eighteen home games so far this season, scoring 23 goals and conceding 28.

At any point, Donn didn't believe his team should lose to such a team. But he learned to be good, and he described Brighton as terrible, saying that the away game is difficult to play and that Forest will face a strong challenge from Brighton and he has to be careful. In an interview, he said that Brighton could definitely get a satisfactory ranking at the end of the season, and also said that he was Steve when he was a child; Steve 'Coppell fans, Brighton must have a bright future ahead of Koper......

Actually? Donn had never seen this man kick a ball, and he didn't even know there was such a figure in United's history – he wasn't a die-hard United fan. As for the previous Tony; It's not clear whether Don has seen this man play. Former England team and Manchester United star Steve; Koper retired from injury in 1983 at the age of 28 and spent some of the darkest years in the club's history, when the Reds were still struggling in the Second Division. The winger scored 72 goals in 396 appearances for Manchester United and seven goals in 42 appearances for England. In his best moments, he was the only option on the right for Manchester United and England.

As for his achievements as a manager, his most glorious moment was in 1990 when he led Crystal Palace to the FA Cup final in the 89/90 season, but they lost to his former club Manchester United, and the following season he led Crystal Palace to third place in the English First Division (then the highest league in England), which was also the best result in Crystal Palace's history.

Although Manchester United can be regarded as the most successful team in England's history since the "Reds" Liverpool, the results of the outstanding players who have gone out to coach from this excellent team are often miserable. Manchester United has a tradition of developing great players, but not the soil for great coaches...... It's really strange that they have the greatest manager of English football in the last two decades, Alex; Sir Alex Ferguson, but the coach's disciples are not very competitive, and even his assistant does not perform well when he is in charge of the team alone. Far away is Brian, who was trusted by the Jazz at the beginning; Brian 'Kidd, in 1998, after seven years with Sir Alex Ferguson, made his first attempt at coaching the team, but after 44 games, he was removed from Blackburn's hierarchy. More recently, there is Portuguese Queiroz, who has been in charge of Real Madrid in a season that he and Real Madrid fans will never want to recall, and the first five-game losing streak in the club's 100-year history was born in the hands of this gentleman.

At the time of Donne's crossing, Roy, the former captain of Manchester United; Keane is in charge of Sunderland and is hopeful of being promoted to the super, and it is unclear if the Irishman can change that embarrassing history.

Donn's bluff was meant to make Koper and his team think that the Forest were scared of them, so he kept a low profile from the start of his trip. As soon as the media asked about his plans for this game, Donn said, "If I can get a point in such a tough away game, I will be very satisfied", which is the opposite of the confidence of the team when they won five in a row.

Then in the hotel room, Donn read to Walker the reports of the local media in Brighton.

"Brighton are full of confidence, they can't lose a point on the road to relegation!"

"Look at this again - Koper is not afraid of the best coaches...... Gee! ”

Walker sat on the couch and asked Donn, "What do you think?" Even the Nottingham media thought we had a bad game. ”

"It's my favorite situation to see, Des. I wish the whole world wasn't looking down on us...... Walker, you know now why I did that after training, right? Donn's "do that" means reading bad news in the newspaper to the players, and every time the players hear reporters and the media say bad things about them, they get angry.

Walker smiled and nodded, "You're so bad, Tony." ”

"If you are a good person in this world, you usually don't end well." The good guy card was given to the opponent's manager, and after the victory over him, he shook his hand and said, "You're such a nice guy, Coach Kopper." In order to strengthen the tone, you can also repeat the word "good person" again until the other person tears up.

Brighton, the 7,000-seat Victorian Stadium was packed. The color of Brighton's home jersey is blue and white, and at a glance, Don thought that he was at Argentina's home stadium, but there were a lot fewer people, but the fans' momentum was not inferior to the crazy South Americans.

"It's just 7,000 people, there's nothing to be afraid of." Amid the deafening noise, Donn muttered into the locker room, the players ready to go, just waiting for him to give the order.

"You are looked down upon by them, they devalue you to nothing, and the whole world doesn't believe you can win." Don shook the newspaper in his hand, "Tell me, guys, what are you going to do?" ”

Dawson took the lead and stood up, and he yelled, "Go and beat them!" Then everybody stood up and roared like that.

"Very good......" Donn laughed as well as Walker and Bowyer.

Ninety minutes later, the final whistle finally blew, and Pierce, an intern reporter for the Nottingham Evening Post, who had followed the team to cover the game; Bruce shook his head lightly: "Another game with a satisfying result, but a thrilling process......"

Brighton fans had a hundred reasons to be unhappy with the scoreline of this game, as their side might have a hundred reasons to win the game, but it turned out that the visiting Nottingham Forest took all three points.

1:0, Forest wins! David; Johansen, a Jamaican, scored three points in the 16th minute of the game.

Once he wins, Donn won't have to pretend to be his grandson in front of the media, and he was proud in his post-match press conference. There are very few words to answer, and the words are still very vague, so vague that many reporters can't hear clearly. Only in answer to Pierce; Bruce's question only said a few more words.

The two managers, one was unwilling to cooperate, and the other was a little frustrated because he lost, and he didn't talk much. The press conference ended hastily after only 10 minutes, and the media were a little dissatisfied, but what can be done? People don't want to say it, and you can't force them to say it......

As he said goodbye, Don suddenly went up and grabbed Koper's hand, and he could finally say the words that had been brewing for two days.

"You're a good man, good luck, Mr. Koper. Good! He shook his hand vigorously. After saying this, he threw down a confused Steve; Koper, he turned and disappeared from view.

The Forest, who won the game, are back in the promotion team, sixth in the league, and if that term is maintained until the end of the league, they will be guaranteed to qualify for the promotion play-offs. For Rookie Coach Tony, who took over halfway through the league; For Donn, this is a great achievement. So he said after the game that Koper is a good person, and when he needs a win the most and needs three points the most, the coach immediately offers it with both hands, what is not a good person?

And the result of this game also proves once again - playing a good game does not necessarily make a good manager, there is no direct relationship between the level of play and the level of coaching, at least at Old Trafford, there is never an equal sign between "famous players" and "famous coaches".
