"Hurry up and forget the league championship three days ago, don't think that you can be satisfied with winning the league title." On the training ground for the new day, Donn is giving a lecture to the team.

After winning the league title, he sensed some slackness within the team. It's definitely about the league title, which makes some people feel that the task of a season has been accomplished, and no matter what they do, they will at least have a title in hand and have a good holiday.

Donn doesn't think so, and the league title is gratifying, but it's not a reason to relax in preparing for the Champions Cup.

"The league championship is delicious, but there are even bigger cakes waiting for us. Champions Cup winner – don't you want to try defending it? Donn waved his arms, painting a wonderful picture of the foreground for everyone. Don't let up! It's hard to tighten up after you loosen it. Now there are people outside saying that Nottingham Forest won the league and Chelsea won the Champions Cup. They're all farting! Why is it best to give the championship to someone else? Did we work all the way to the finals to do good things for others? Since you have entered the finals, you must win the championship, and the runner-up is considered a failure! ”

After the lecture, Don handed over the command of the training to Don and Chris Rac, and then returned to his office. Allan. Adams was already waiting there. They were to discuss plans to go to the Far East for gold in the summer.

Donn knows the impact of using his precious training time to fly halfway around the world to play commercial games in the summer, and he's seen a lot of precedents in this regard. But this time he had to obey the club's arrangement.

In previous seasons, when he needed to buy someone, the club's finances always tried to be satisfied. Now that the team has made a result, it is natural to repay the club's finances. And the club's finances are tight after the new stadium is built, and it needs to make some money from elsewhere to ease the tension. Going to Asia to play commercial games is the fastest way to get results.

Therefore, this time he could not say no to it.

"We've got in touch with them, and now we're in China, and we're in Thailand and Malaysia." Alan didn't say hello after seeing Donn, and went straight to the point.

"Four countries?"

Alan nodded: "Four countries, five regions, and one Hong Kong." Five games, let's use it as a pre-season warm-up game. He smiled at Don, who knew his disagreement with Don about it.

Don thought about it for a while, in this way, basically the whole season was these five games before, after a long flight, no matter how many games are played, I am afraid that the team will not be able to stand it physically.

"What else is there to do besides the competition?" Don knew that the team had traveled all the way to Asia, and it was impossible to come back after only five games, so Allen wouldn't be so honest.

"Well, there are three business events, a charity dinner. This is a group attendance, and Beckham has a number of specific business events on the agenda...... You know, he's always the most popular one. ”

"Sounds like a busy summer." Don shrugged.

After talking about Allen's work, Allen asked Don like a casual chatter: "Tony, the twenty-first Champions Cup......"

"You want to ask how sure the team is of winning?" Don guessed what he was thinking.

Alan nodded.

"The name of the double champion is more effective, right?"

Alan smiled, "You're smart, Tony. ”

"Ha, even if it's not for any commercial promotion, I must get this championship!" Don clenched his fists. "So don't worry about this, I said the double crown, and that is the double crown."

Alan glanced at the team that was training outside, stood up, and stretched out his hand to Donne: "Then Evan and I are waiting for your good news, Tony." ”

After shaking hands, Alan said goodbye, and Don went out and returned to the training ground to continue supervising the training.

※※※After the league is over, the media in England can focus on hyping up the Champions League final. Unlike last year, this year is the "civil war" in England, which has given the English media a lot more topics to hype.

And for these two head coaches, the media is determined to provoke a pre-match battle.

The Sun newspaper published a large photo of the two men on the sports page, and in the middle of the two photos was a sentence:

Grant? Who's that?

This was when Grant had just taken over as Chelsea manager. Don said something to show contempt. At the time, he was a marketable statement because it was widely believed that Grant was not capable of leading Chelsea, especially since his predecessor had such a strong name, which left a very deep mark on the team.

Even Donn himself didn't expect that Grant would lead Chelsea all the way to the Champions League final. This is the first time in the club's history that Chelsea FC has reached the final of the Champions League, and you must know that even a manager as good as Jose Mourinho has not done so. In a sense, the final hasn't been played yet, but Grant has already made club history.

With this contrast between the results before and after, the meaning of the Sun's re-moving of this sentence is obvious - to provoke a new round of war of words between the two head coaches, and taunt Donn, provoke him, and make him come out and make another shocking statement.

It's certainly not enough to rely on a headline, and The Suns also counts the grievances and head-to-head records of the two teams in recent years. Donne's side naturally had the upper hand, but it also provoked further hatred among Chelsea fans towards Nottingham Forest. Especially Tony. Tang En was complacent, and the arrogance that no one looked down on was rendered by the media and became more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. These media outlets are hoping that Chelsea fans now think that Donn feels that the final is no longer necessary because his side must win.

Supporters of both teams have not been idle these days and have come forward to express their thoughts on the game.

John. Writing in his own column on the BBC website, Mortenson claims to be more optimistic about Nottingham Forest's title defense. Donn and his team are used to doing wonders. And the match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United has shown the world how resilient this team is, so he believes the final victory must belong to Tony. Donne, belonging to Nottingham Forest.

Although Mourinho is far away in Portugal, he still has an eye on the teams he has coached. Although he is still dismissive of Grant, emotionally he supports Chelsea to win the title. His reasons are very good for his style - this is the team I left behind, I laid the foundation for this team for three years, and now Grant kid doesn't have to do anything, just follow my set, and it's time to reap the fruits. But I'm still proud of the lads at Chelsea. What the? Since Tony. Chelsea haven't won against Nottingham Forest since Donn came to power? That is not a problem, and on the night of 21 May, in Moscow, this embarrassing record will be officially put to rest...... With such a strong atmosphere of war, Grant finally couldn't hold back. In an interview with Sky TV, he talked about his personal feud with Donn. In fact, it is a big pour of bitter water plus a counteroffensive. First of all, he complained that he had never been recognized, and even after leading the team to the Champions League final, the media was still talking about whether he would leave at the end of the season.

'Abramovich has just signed me a new three-year contract and we are now hopeful of winning the Champions Cup, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have not even reached the Champions League final. I don't admit that the league defeat has anything to do with me, I owe too much debt in the first half of the season and I've been paying it off since I took over the team, so I think it's good to get to this point. I don't understand why you're still talking about my successor......"

Then he spoke about the famous "who is that" incident. "Tony. Done is a very personal manager, and he always comments about people like that, and I think we're all used to it. But I'm glad that now I have the opportunity to prove 'who I am' in front of him." These words contained a great deal of resentment, and the anger that had obviously been teased by Don had been accumulating in Grant's heart, more and more, just waiting for an opportune moment to erupt.

The right time is for the Champions Cup final. And what could be better than beating the unbeatable Tony in the Champions Cup final. Donn and his team, and then winning the championship made Grant feel more revenge?

After Grant spoke, Tony. Don also jumped out to meet the fight. In his column, he wrote:

“…… I am glad that Mr. Grant finally understands his situation. He said he was glad to have the opportunity to prove 'who that is' in front of me, which shows that he himself understands that he needs to prove to me and that he will only know who he is until he has been acknowledged by me. ”

These words provoked Nottingham Forest's supporters to laugh, but it made Grant almost furious. Obviously, he was just thinking about how to defeat Donn, but he accidentally fell into Donn's language trap.

So he fought back again in the media, but Donn didn't fight this time: "I hate the act of using my mouth to get attention before a fight, so I'm not going to argue with Mr. Grant in the media." The championship trophy doesn't depend on who spits on the most, and I'm not going to get involved in this kind of boring hype anymore, I'm sorry. ”

Grant was choked speechless. I've never seen such a shameless person...... I had a very happy war of words with myself before, and I turned my face and denied it immediately after I got cheap, this excuse is high-sounding, but it really doesn't match his image at all!

※※※Although Don fully expressed his contempt and disdain for Grant in the war of words, he was not so stupid as to believe that Grant was such an unbearable opponent. Jose Mourinho's words are not credible, and it is not just possible to rely on the team left over from the previous one to take a team that has undergone a major personnel change mid-season to the Champions League final.

Don fully inherited the glorious tradition of the older generation of revolutionaries, treating the enemy first with strategic contempt and then tactically valuing him. He said disdainfully, "Who is Grant?" "In fact, since I found out that Grant's team is getting better and better in the Champions Cup, I have been on the lookout for this opponent. At the time, he didn't know if Grant's side would make it to the Champions League final, but treated him as a possible opponent in the future. Now it comes in handy.

Nottingham Forest's coaching staff is compiling the latest information on Chelsea, such as Ashley. Kerr was injured in training and Frank Lampard's mother died...... As long as there is information that may affect the game, it will be sorted out and placed on Don's desk.

Although he has dealt with Chelsea many times and is no stranger to each other, Done believes that this game on the evening of the 21st will be different from any previous game. Chelsea, who reach the Champions League final for the first time, will be like a pack of hungry wolves, without the encouragement of their manager Grant.

It's a tough opponent this time, and it's going to be an easy one. The psychological warfare has been fought, and the championship still depends on the performance of the last two sides on the court.

Spit on each other really doesn't decide who wins the championship.

In training, Nottingham Forest focused on strengthening the tactical drill of penetration in the middle, Nottingham Forest started with two wings, although the strength of the wing is still strong, but it has been thoroughly studied by the opponent, Chelsea will definitely be on guard at that time. So when they focused on defending the two wings, the Forest team unexpectedly played in the middle, and I believe it will work wonders.

In addition, set-pieces are always a good way to break the deadlock, and you can't go unpracticed. At the same time, Donn took into account the various scenarios that might arise and decided to let the team practice penalty kicks. He doesn't want the game to go that far, but he has to be prepared, right? If you do get dragged to the penalty shootout, it's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.

As the day draws closer, the war of words on all sides of the world is getting more and more intense, and the training grounds of the two teams are filled with journalists from all over the world. The two managers died down...... There is no direct war of words between two people, and when interviewed by reporters, they also avoid talking about this kind of personal grudge, just talking about the team's current training situation, the state of the players, and the prospect of the final...... These are non-nutritious topics.

Compared to the previous hot head coach duel, the players talked about this game much more peacefully, it was just a final.

In an interview with reporters, Beckham admitted that he did not expect his first season with Forest to be so wonderful, not to mention winning the league title, and now there is hope to win the Champions Cup again. He thought it was amazing and when he decided to move to Nottingham Forest, he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to stand at the top of Europe again. This also shows how correct and wise his decision was in the first place.

Naturally, the media touted it again.

While preparing for the Champions Cup, Donn found that he had suddenly developed a habit in a short period of time - like Chris Lack, he began to pay attention to the newspapers of the gossip stars. From those newspapers, he could always find news about Shania, and compared to the seclusion who had just gone to Los Angeles, Shania was much more active lately, frequently attending banquets and dances and business events.

Of course, most of the time, she will be accompanied by that Hollywood playboy Colin. Farrell. They seem to be very close.

Whenever he saw the news about Shania, Don would sense that deep down in his heart, something was growing that worried him, and he was afraid that one day he would suddenly burst out of his control, and he couldn't say what the consequences would be.

This emotion has an increasing impact on Donn as the Champions League final approaches, so much so that it is inevitable to think about it when one is quiet. Don felt that something was wrong, very wrong. If this continues, it will be extremely detrimental to the team's preparation and even the final final, and we have to find a way to solve it...... He looked at the phone in his hand.
