Volume 6 Crimson Chapter 29 Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back

Because of a series of injuries, the squad is not complete, the league suffered two rounds of winless, and in the Champions Cup, it also won a bit of thrills. They won 2-1 at home against Belarusian Bolisov.

The only good news for Donn is that Nottingham Forest's injury situation has finally recovered after this game. There are no major injuries at the moment, and those who have suffered minor injuries before are all okay and can play.

It's been more than a month since the league started, and Don can finally come up with a relatively complete squad to play the game.

In the fifth round of the league, Nottingham Forest challenged Tottenham Hotspur away, and Done sent the strongest lineup.

Van der Sar, Pepe, Kompany, Gareth. Bell, Raphinha, George. Wood, Van der Vaart, Ribery, David. David Beckham, Arshavin, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Tottenham are second in the Premier League for spending money on people this summer, but after four league games, they are bottom of the table with one draw and three defeats.

Juander. Ramos has a very bad time, and it is said that if he can't win Nottingham Forest at home, he will be sacked.

Don will not pity others at such a time, because he pities Ramos, who will pity him? Nottingham Forest's morale is now low and he desperately needs a hearty win to regain his spirits. Then Tottenham Hotspur, which has a bad year, is naturally the best target.

Don and the coaching staff prepared for the game and told the players that nothing could make everyone happier than winning an uncontested game at this time. Not only to win, but to win without any suspense!

The final score was 3-0, with Nottingham Forest beating Tottenham Hotspur, who were more demoralised and in a more difficult situation than them. After this match, Juande. Ramos was sacked by Levy due to poor results, becoming the first manager in the Premier League to be dismissed in the new season.

The week is not over yet and Nottingham Forest must keep up for the challenge.

On September 25, Nottingham Forest went to play the English League Cup away, and Done sent a squad dominated by second-tier players to challenge Ipswich, and the result was a 4-1 victory.

These two complete victories finally swept away the bad luck caused by the predicament some time ago.

Donn gave everyone a shout-out in the dressing room, and the team headed straight home from the pitch.

"Yo." On the bus back to Nottingham, Chris Lack, who was studying the schedule, suddenly let out a low voice, and then handed the schedule in his hand to Donne, who was sitting in the back, "Look at the opponent in the next round." ”

Donn took it and found the match for the sixth round of the league - Manchester City.

Even Don laughed beside him.

"The media are happy." Chrislak said.

Don shrugged and didn't say anything about it.

※※※ Bendtner can already feel the pressure from the outside. After the move to Manchester City, life was not much easier at Nottingham Forest.

At Nottingham Forest, the pressure on him comes from the manager who has absolute authority, Tony. Dawn. At Manchester City, the pressure comes from the skeptical gaze of the media and fans.

His first league game at Manchester City was at home to Chelsea, and Bendtner was left on the bench until the second half was already lost. Robinho scored a free-kick in that game, but City lost 3-1 to Chelsea.

The blame for the defeat was not on Bendtner, who only got five minutes of playing time and didn't score and no one blamed him. But in the second game it was different.

In the fifth round of the league, Manchester City hosted Portsmouth. The match was a feast for Manchester City fans as they beat Pompeii by six goals at home. Bendtner started the game, but the six goals had nothing to do with his penny.

No assists, no goals, he seems to be outside of City's tactical system.

Robinho scored a hat-trick in the game and scored in a back-to-back row since joining to win the hearts of Manchester City fans. Bendtner, who also joined at the last minute, was caught in a sea of doubts.

After the game, a reporter blocked Bendtner in the mixed zone and asked him why he was sleepwalking on the court. Bendtner put the blame on the newcomers, and the team-mates were not working well enough.

The reporter asked why Robinho, who was also new to the team, performed so well.

Bendtner could only tell the reporter that Robinho was a midfielder and that he had more chances to get the ball and therefore more chances to score. He is a centre-forward and needs support from midfield.

Originally, this meant that the effect would be different depending on the location. But when it came to reporters, Bendtner's meaning changed to "the Danish striker complains about his lack of team-mate support".

Manchester City fans who don't know the truth are in an uproar, and during the two days of training, there will be fans outside the stadium who booed Bentner when he got the ball. And the eyes in the dressing room were not friendly to him.

It was something he had never encountered before at Nottingham Forest. When I used to be in the Forest team, there was Tony. Donn has attracted the firepower of reporters who like to make things difficult for their players, and the atmosphere in the dressing room is very congenial and candid. He doesn't need to worry about how to beware of journalists, there is Tony. Don is here, and no one is going to be interested in asking themselves questions.

Right now...... I've been in Manchester City for half a month, except for Ashley, who used to play for Forest. Yang, who has not yet made a real friend, has not communicated more than to meet and say hello and say goodbye when he leaves, unlike Robinho, a Brazilian with a lively and cheerful surname, Bendtner seems a little lonely.

Although he has left Nottingham Forest, when he goes to read sports news, he is always used to looking for news about Nottingham Forest first. This habit made him cry and laugh, and he was very helpless. Habitual surnames are terrible...... Therefore, he knows more or less about the current situation of the Forest team. I'm stressed, Tony. The burden on Don's shoulders wasn't easy either.

He sat alone in the dressing room at Manchester City's Carrington training base and with the players gone, he insisted on staying and practising his shots. Only now go back to the locker room to get ready to take a shower and change clothes.

It's also a habit that has been developed in the Forest team, Tony. Donn doesn't take matters into training personally, but he is very focused on training. Being lazy in training and being caught by him will be taught a hard lesson, and because of George. With Wood as a role model, it seems that training has become a practice for many young players to attract the appreciation of the head coach and fight for their own playing opportunities.

Now at Manchester City, Marc. Hughes didn't say that he would be able to start with extra practice, and Bendtner still came in the same way as he did with Forest.

Naked out of the shower room, Bendtner was getting dressed when the door to the locker room was opened.

"Ah......" The person who came in was a little surprised, it was the head coach Mark . Hughes. "Niklas, you're not gone yet? Got more shots on goal? ”

Bendtner nodded, "Yes, boss." ”

"It just so happens that I have something I want to talk to you about. You're busy with your ......," he motioned for Bendtner to continue changing, and his pants didn't look good when they hung there halfway through. "About the interview......

"The reporter misinterpreted what I meant, boss. I just wanted to say that the location is different and should not be measured by one standard......"

Mark. Hughes nodded to show that he understood, "By my observation, you're not that kind of person. The atmosphere in the dressing room isn't good for you though, and I think you should take the initiative to explain it to them instead of being silent. You can care nothing about what the media says, but you can't care less about what your teammates think of you. You're right, you're a central striker and you need support from midfield. If they have a bad opinion of you, you can't get their fullest support...... Do you understand what I mean? ”

"I understand, boss. I'll apologize to them before training tomorrow. ”

Mark. Hughes smiled: "It's not a big deal not to score in a game, don't listen to the media calls, they can't catch the reader's eye if they don't exaggerate." Keep playing at your own pace and don't get distracted by others. ”

It was a promise to Bendtner, who was worried about being criticized by the manager, but now he can put his mind at ease. Hughes still thinks highly of his ...... In fact, Hughes doesn't value him anymore. This is the only centre-forward City have brought in this summer and there is no other way to rely on him. Hughes is putting the treasure on Bendtner now. He is optimistic about Bendtner's strength, but now he has not adapted to Manchester City's football, and he does not have a tacit understanding with his teammates, so it affects his performance. He believes all critics can shut up as long as the Dane returns to the level he was at Nottingham Forest last season.

"That's right. What do you think...... Tony. What kind of coach is Donn? Hughes, who was about to turn away, suddenly changed his mind and asked back.

The question stopped Bendtner.

Tony. What kind of coach is Donn?

Good? Bad? Not good or bad?

Bendtner shook his head: "I don't know, I can't tell......"

Hughes nodded, this was also the doubt in his heart.

"You're still starting the next game." With that, Hughes turned around again and left the locker room.

Bendtner wasn't going to be excited to continue to start, he came to Manchester City and said he was going to be reused here, starting for sure. He glanced at the bracket plastered on the other wall and found a familiar name behind the "sixth round of the league":

Nottingham Forest!

※※※ "Bendtner finally had a chance to get revenge in person, but I thought, Tony. Done won't let go of the humiliating game between Manchester City and Bendtner easily...... One can imagine what a wonderful story this game will be. Sky TV's 'Soccer 90' is analysing the matchups for each of the new league games. Nottingham Forest's home game against Manchester City is the final match of the sixth round of league fixtures, which was chosen by Sky TV to be broadcast nationally.

"Our correspondent spoke to Tony today at Wilford about the game. Dawn. ”

The scene cuts to outside the Forest's training base, where Donn is surrounded by a group of reporters, the microphones reaching out to him.

'You're right, he doesn't have a match with my style of football, that's what he said to me. Now I'm excited to see the style of football he's pursuing......" Donn said as he squeezed out.

The scene cuts to Manchester City again, and Bendtner looks at the camera with a straight face and says: "It's just a normal game. ”

Ashley. Yang stood next to him and nodded: "Yes, an ordinary league, I think you guys are making a big fuss." ”

Don pointed to the TV and said to Don next to him, "Do you believe the words of the two of them?" ”

"I believe in Young, not Bendtner."

"I don't even believe Yang. It's strange that he doesn't want to take revenge on me. Last season, he didn't get a bargain in two meetings, and with Bendtner this time, he must be even more motivated. The people I drove away hold a grudge against me. I still have this self-knowledge. Donn laughed.

"But Bendtner wasn't driven away by you. He took the initiative ......"

"So it's even more hateful. I will not allow the team to lose this game! Don clenched his fists.

※※※ After explaining the interview to his teammates in the locker room, Bendtner was once again welcomed by his teammates. On the last day of training before leaving for Nottingham, Robinho also patted Bendtner on the back and told him he would give him a pass during the game to help him break down the Forest goal.

"Dude, we're all the way!" He said to Bendtner in a very unfamiliar English.

He was right, they were all fallen people who didn't get the attention they deserved.

Bendtner thanked Coach Hughes for his advice, and now he feels like he's fitting in, and there's something called "chemistry" growing in training, and he's starting to have some impatience for the game against the Forest to come sooner.

In the squad announced by Hughes after the end of training, Ashley. Young and Bendtner are among them. And if nothing else, both will get a chance to start the game. Hughes just wanted to use the two players who knew the Forest team well to cause problems for Donn.

Ashley. Young's breakaway cross from the wing and Bendtner's powerful center-forward...... Tony. Don must regret it, right?

Back in the locker room, Ashley. Young leaned over to Bendtner and stabbed him with his hand: "You didn't think you'd be up against the Forest so soon, did you?" Not used to it, right? It's okay, you'll feel good in no time! Actually, it's good to be an opponent, and I love seeing the look on his face when he loses. You say this man is strange...... In the past, when I was on a team, it was cool to watch him satirize reporters and opponents after winning a game, but now that I have the opposite side, I feel unhappy to see him like that again......"

Bendtner meets Ashley. Young had to interrupt him as he continued: "I can't wait to play Forest, Young. And I bet with you that I'm going to score a goal in this game! ”

Ashley. Yang glanced at him with a little surprise, then stood up and excitedly announced loudly: "Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet!" ”

Everyone stopped their business when they heard his shouts and turned their heads to look at him.

"You don't have any bad ideas, Ashley." Someone looked at him with a grin.

"Niklas says he's betting he's going to score against Forest!" Young pointed at Bendtner and shouted. "If he does score a goal, how about he invite us to drink?"

"What's the case of a treat when you win a bet, Ashley?" There was opposition.

"Then add a number...... Ashley. Yang looked at Bendtner sitting on the stool with a grin, as if encouraging and provoking.

Bendtner noticed that a room full of people were looking at him, some grinning, some puzzled, his blood suddenly surged to his head, and he stretched out two fingers: "At least two balls." I'm going to score at least two goals against Forest! I'll just score one goal and I'll invite everyone to drink! ”

A crowd applauded him and whistled and heckled.

Seeing everyone like this, Bendtner felt that he had been completely accepted by these people. Against Nottingham Forest, he has nothing to worry about.

and Tony. Donn's game, come early......
