The Ukrainian Rebrov has been very depressed for the past week, frowning to train and returning to the hotel with a frown. After seeing the new manager's methods, he has no hope for his future in the team, and after this game, he plans to ask his agent to find his next foothold.

Head coach Mr. Donn talked to a number of people on the team individually, from Wess Brown, who had just been transferred to the first team. Mogan, to the outgoing Michael. Dawson and Andy. Reed, only he doesn't have his share.

He wondered if he had been abandoned by the manager.

Tomorrow is the game against Crystal Palace, and the team finished training after a brief 40-minute tactical drill from set-pieces. Rebrov frowned again and left Wilford disappointed.

Looking at his back as he walked towards the parking lot with his head down, Donn said to Walker, who was next to him: "Tomorrow's game, let's let the Ukrainian start the striker." ”

"Of course. You drove Taylor into the reserves, we only have three people left in the front line, and Westkal has limited ability to start Johansen and the Ukrainians. ”

Hearing Walker say this, Don chuckled dryly. He and Walker went to see the reserve team game yesterday, and Taylor started the game, scored a goal, and maintained his form well. However, he did not say that he wanted to recall Taylor to the first team, and he continued to train with the reserve team. His header is really an important means of scoring, and now the team's offense is weak, the striker is short, and Walker doesn't quite understand Donn's approach, and Donn has his own measure.

※※※Saturday night, outside the home stadium of Nottingham Forest. Some time ago, the team's results continued to be sluggish, which also affected the attendance of the stadium, and in the previous games, the average attendance of the city stadium was less than 20,000, and the large number of stands was empty, and the players did not have the heart to play in this environment.

But today is different, the city stadium has become a sea of red at night.

Reporters from local Nottingham television stations filmed fans arriving from far and wide waiting to enter the stadium outside the stadium. They gathered into several long red snakes, crowded with people, waving their arms, singing fan songs, and even fans chanting at the camera: "Tony! Tony! Tony! ”

Even the small vendors and vendors outside the stadium who sell all kinds of fan goods and souvenirs are booming again.

The reporter was in front of the camera lens, holding the microphone in one hand and pressing his ear with the other, trying to let his voice drown out the shouts of the fans behind him: "Do you see it? City Stadium is awake! Believe...... I believe that our forest team will also wake up from their slumber! ”

A reporter from BBC TV reported on the evening news on the other side of the fan formation: "Just a change of manager has inspired the fans!" I'm sure the people of Nottingham, who will miss what they saw today! In the second half of last season, Forest's home games were almost every game! Collymore's defeat has been left behind overnight, and fans have welcomed back the young manager Tony who led the team to the play-offs last season. Don ......"

As soon as he said this, a fat man suddenly jumped between him and the camera, then brought the fat face in front of the camera, first burped, then took a deep breath, stared at him and shouted: "Nottingham Forest will win!" Long live Tony! At night...... Hiccup...... Invite me to drink! ”

Before the reporter could react, the fat man jumped out of the frame amid the laughter of his companions, and the astute cameraman immediately pointed the camera at him and his companions, following their backs.

A group of fans wearing Forest's red jerseys walked side by side, waving their scarves and singing their own songs.

"Oooo Generous Tony! Oooooooo He invited us to drink and we loved him! He gives us victory, and we love Him! Forest Forest! Tony. Dawn! ”

The reporter wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to work, "uh...... It turns out that Tony. Coach Donn enjoys a high reputation among Forest fans...... "He caught a glimpse of a group of stunned fans walking crookedly behind the cameraman, and quickly finished the report: "This is BBC reporter Larry. Jackson's report from Nottingham City Stadium! Welcome to watch! Good bye! ”

※※※ Even with the door closed, the loud singing from the outside stands could be stopped. Compared to the excited Forest fans, the crowd in the dressing room was calmer...... Of course, on the face of it.

Assistant Coach Des. Walker is announcing the starting line-up for the game, and he starts with the goalkeeper.

"Darren. Wood, John. Thompson, Dave. Oyer, Michael. Dawson, Weiss. Mogan, Blanya. Gunelson, Jacob. Burns, Andy. Reid, Gareth. Williams, David. Johansen, as well as ......" finally called the last man.

Rebrov sat down in his chair with his head bowed, without expecting anything. Then he heard Walker say, "...... Sergei. Rebrov. That's the eleven! ”

He raised his head suddenly, and he was actually in the starting lineup again?! But when he thought about it, he understood - the top scorer Gareth. Taylor was relegated to the reserves, and now that the team is short of strikers, it is only natural that he can be in the starting lineup.

After announcing the starting list, the locker room resounded with the sound of everyone's discussion. Walker patted the tactics board hard and signaled to the players that the manager had something to say.

When the dressing room was quiet again, Donn said loudly: "Crystal Palace is third from the bottom, and we are fourth from the bottom!" What does this game mean? I don't want you to think, 'Ah, it's not that bad,' I want you to know, 'Fuck, it's just that bad'! In 22 rounds, we only won four games and lost thirteen games! This is a miserable result! We had lost six games in a row before this game, I don't care what you guys think, anyway I've lost enough and I don't want to lose again! If any of you don't mind continuing to lose, put your hands up! He waved his arms, but no one obediently raised his hand.

"Excellent! It looks like none of you want to lose anymore. Donn nodded, lowered his arm, and then glanced at Rebrov with his head down, "I'm a new coach, I don't care how you performed before, and I don't care if that coach promised you anything......

Rebrov tilted his head, he was listening attentively.

"I'm just going to see how all of you perform from today's game. Good performance, starters! Bad performance, subs! It's as simple as that. If you want to fight, tighten the clockwork on the back of your butts for me! Don made a twisting gesture, and everyone suddenly felt their backs tighten...... Wearing a suit and tie, Dogerty sat in the box more formally than she wore to work, ready to watch the game. His financial advisor, Allen. Adams has flown back to the United States to deal with the purchase of the Forest team's shares, and there is nothing for him to do for the time being, and Evan's business in the United States also needs to be taken care of.

In fact, Evan hated to go to the box to watch the game, because all English stadiums have a rule: anyone who enters the box to watch the game must wear a tie. This is a dead rule, and even if the president of the United States comes, he must abide by it.

Evan doesn't like to wear ties, which has something to do with his experiences as a child. He hates everything that ties his neck...... But he's the president of the club now and he has to be there for the home games. Not to mention when the team's results are not good and morale is low.

He could only tie his tie as loosely as possible, which would make him feel better.

The middle-aged man sitting next to him was the chairman of Forest's opponent in this game, Crystal Palace. Jordan (Simon'Jordan).

Unlike Evan, his tie was tightly tied around his neck. A crisp suit, meticulously dressed.

When the two shook hands with each other before, Chairman Jordan was a little unsightly at Evan's attire and spoke arrogantly. Although his team is ranked lower than Forest, it did not prevent the man from saying in a pre-match interview that his team could definitely beat Forest, and then took the opportunity to go ashore. He also tactfully satirized Evan. Dogerty thinks that the Yankees, who don't understand football, shouldn't come to get involved in English football.

Evan reacted with these words by laughing them off. But who knows the fire in his heart...... , Tony! Be sure to win this game! Absolutely never lose to this bastard who sells mobile phones!

※※※ When the manager of the Crystal Palace team, Steve. Steve Kember laughed when he saw that the Forest striker standing in the centre circle was the incompetent Ukrainian Rebrov, and then told his assistant coach Terry. Terry 'Bullivant said: "Terry, we don't have to worry about defending this game today. ”

After almost half a season in the league, Forest's poor performance has told the managers of League One teams a fact, that is, the once highly-anticipated "Premier League goalscorer" Sergei Lee. Rebrov is a complete parallel import!

As long as he is on the pitch, Forest's opponents can press boldly and attack with confidence, as the 29-year-old striker can no longer find where to find the goal on the field.

The course of the game proved to be the case, with Rebrov up front facing the close marking of England's tall defenders and couldn't find the feeling to shoot at all.

Donn shook his head in the coach's box: "The Ukrainians have completely lost confidence...... He didn't even dare to shoot the door. ”

Walker nodded in agreement.

Many professional players have lost confidence due to consecutive poor performances, and thus went to failure. Rebrov was walking on that path to darkness at this moment. If no one pulls him along, then he will continue to sink.

It's none of my business if you sink...... But the outcome of this game will be affected. What I need is victory, and you, Rebrov, are the key ones!
