The final match of the sixth round of the 2008-2009 English Premier League season kicks off at 3 p.m. local time in the UK.

At lunchtime, fans from all over the world are already pouring into the City Stadium on the banks of the River Trent.

Those who come early don't have to be afraid to come, and there is nothing to do. Outside the stadium is a huge football theme park, where people eat, drink, play football by the river, sell small goods, and travel and sightseeing...... There's something for everyone, so don't be afraid you won't find fun here.

The city stadium for the home game is lively like the "bull market" more than 100 years ago. Although the "bull market" is still there now, the excitement of people flocking to the country more than 100 years ago can be compared with the fanatical enthusiasm of fans following the team.

Manchester City fans were the first to come, and most of them came together in groups, wearing light blue jerseys, holding light blue City flags and waving light blue scarves.

But compared to these guests, the hosts are a little loose. Because the real die-hard fan groups have not yet appeared, they are the main force that creates noise in the stadium stands.

Although the two teams have been somewhat hostile to each other in recent times. For most fans, though, that doesn't stop them from getting together and chatting. Of course, each side is supporting each other, Manchester City fans excitedly announced that Manchester City will win this game by two goals, while Nottingham Forest fans shook their heads and denied his claim, claiming that Nottingham Forest will win by two goals.

Then the two groups gathered together for a drink and continued to talk.

After two o'clock, more and more media came to the stadium, and before the team showed up, the fans gathered here became the center of attention. Reporters who haven't started their work yet are in the mood to watch the excitement, while others are busy interviewing fans and preparing first-hand material.

At 2:15, Fat John and Thin Bill appeared outside the stadium with a bundled white banner, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. Everyone is a fan of Forest, and the city knows which fan teams know each other, plus John and Beal were quite famous when they used to play football hooligans with Michael. At this time, naturally, many veteran fans stepped forward to say hello, and those who were a little farther away also sat on the stool and raised their wine glasses to say hello.

The white rolls of cloth they were carrying attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, fatty. What are you struggling to carry? A middle-aged man stepped up to say hello.

"Good stuff." John, who was carrying something, crooked his neck and smiled.

The banner was long, and there was a place on the ground between him and Bill when it was displayed in the bar last night. Now it is completely unwound and rolled up, folded in half from it, and then tied up with rope, and it is a little difficult for four strong men to carry it.

"Don't be mysterious, let's be honest, what's in there?"

"You knew it when you played, but now it's boring. And......" John pointed to the journalists and television media who wandered around. "We're going to give Manchester City a big one!"

The man stopped following and watched John and his party enter the court through the ticket gates. Carrying such a big guy, they were asked to open it for inspection, John came forward to call the other party over, and then lifted a corner, mysteriously let the other party take a look.

I saw that the man was smiling happily and waved his hand to let him go.

In this way, there was a view from the stands for a while...... ※※※At half past two, very punctually, the buses of the two teams drove into the special parking area outside the city stadium one after the other. They were greeted warmly by the fans as they passed.

Ashley. Young has a year of experience and doesn't have any special feelings about returning to Nottingham Forest's home game. Bendtner is different. He initially regarded the fans in red jerseys outside as his supporters, and as soon as he raised his hand to wave in greeting, he saw several fans pouting - to boo him. He realized that blue was his color now.

What will the fans who once cheered for his goal now greet themselves with?

Bendtner wasn't dismayed by the attitude of those fans. On the contrary, he is looking forward to the upcoming game even more, even if the whole court is constantly booing himself, he has to prove Tony with practical actions. What a serious mistake it was for Don not to pay attention to himself in the first place!

In the words of Julius Caesar, that is - I came, I saw, I conquered, I left, and you regret going!

Well...... Did Caesar say his last word? But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I conquered you.

Ashley. Young saw that Bendtner was wandering and touched him: "What do you think?" Worried about what they do to you? He pointed out the window. Don't be afraid, shhhhh......h When we played at Forest, did we get booed by the fans of other teams? ”

Bendtner shook his head and said, "No, I'm not worried about them booing me. ”

"Then you're ......"

"I'm fantasizing about how I'm going to do in a game later."

"You're such a weirdo!"

"Boss...... Doesn't Don have a saying that always comes to his lips? The boos and insults of the enemy are the best praise and acknowledgment of you. I think I understand the meaning of that sentence now. Bendtner pointed to the men in the red jerseys outside and said, "They're all my enemies." ”

Ashley. Yang was stunned. When he came to the City Stadium for the first time, he was intimidated by the boos and couldn't play at all, so he was substituted early. I really don't adapt to this sudden change in role. Unexpectedly, Bendtner had already completed this role reversal, and behaved as if he had been a loyal veteran of Manchester City for 20 years...... He wanted to be amazed.

It's really a big world, and everyone has it...... ※※※ The first to arrive was the Manchester City bus. Once they were all in the dressing room, Nottingham Forest's car came in as if it had been calculated.

In the parking lot, Donn jumped out of the car first, facing the microphones with a serious face as the cheers and reporters flocked to him.

'I don't have much to say, it's just a normal league.

Someone among the reporters whispered a boo on him. Only a fool would believe this man's words.

The players who got off the bus afterwards did not mean to be interviewed by reporters, and ran into the special passage with their heads down.

The surrounding Forest fans gathered to chant slogans like 'Nottingham Forest must win'. The atmosphere was very hot, and it didn't look like an "ordinary league" at all.

After all the players were gone, Don waved to the reporters who were still waiting: "See you after the game, everyone." If I'm in a good mood, I can answer any questions you have. ”

※※※ Fat John They are already standing in their own stands, and they are preparing for the upcoming game. The bundled banner was thrown at his feet, and no one paid attention to it for the time being.

Players from both sides are warming up on the field. There were already sporadic boos, and the target, of course, was Bendtner, who was wearing a vest emblazoned with the Manchester City logo.

Looking at his performance, he didn't care and did his own warm-up.

In the past four years, he has followed Tang En, and his rich experience in foreign struggles tells him. In the face of those who booed themselves, if you really burst into a rage, you will lose.

So at this moment, his mind is as calm as water.

When will it be possible to explode and vent this sullen breath to the fullest? When he scores a goal in the game, he will make the people who booed him look good.

You are going to ...... Take its toll!

※※※ "Look at that kid's okay appearance, I don't feel comfortable seeing it!" Bill, who was in the stands, pointed at Bendtner and said unpleasantly.

John glanced at him and smiled: "When he's still around, you can call him the happiest when he scores." Say 'the future of Nottingham Forest depends on him'. ”

Bill's expression was uncomfortable: "It's because I once had high hopes for him, so I can't tolerate his betrayal!" ”

John stretched: "I don't feel much about him leaving the Forest team. Anyway, every summer, there are always some people leaving, some people coming, and I'm tired of watching it for decades. What about the most talented players? No one can guarantee that they will be kept here for the rest of their lives. Let's go, anyway, I don't think as long as Tony's bastard is around, no matter how many people in Nottingham Forest go, they won't die. Then he pressed his hands on the railing, overlooking the court below. What I don't like is that he shouldn't say anything like 'at least two goals against Forest'. What does he think he is? What did he think Nottingham Forest's defense was? ”

"Actually, I think Tony's lungs must have been blown up by now."

"I think so. How could he tolerate such disregard for others? ”

"No, there is no 'him' in sight."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"This game, wait to see what it looks like."

※※※ In the locker room, after Don repeated yesterday's tactics, Don came on the stage.

"Pepe." He called the names of the main centre-backs.

Pepe stood up, a little confused.

"I forgot a word yesterday." Don raised his left index finger. He was referring to explaining to Pepe and the rest of the defenders about his response to Bendtner.

"I believe very, very much in the defensive quality of my team, you are one of the best in Europe. But ......" he pointed to the captain of the team. "George."

Wood also stood up.

"If you let Manchester City score two goals in this game, all the players in charge of defending will run back to Wilford from here!"

Someone's face changed, but Wood nodded calmly: "Okay." ”

Pepe shrugged with a grin: "What if they don't score a single goal?" ”

"You'll have an extra half-day off tomorrow."

Pepe looked at the other defenders and snapped his fingers: "No problem! ”

"It's okay to come out, give them some color and see!"

※※※ "Welcome to the final match of the sixth round of the English Premier League in the 08-09 season! The two sides are the home team Nottingham Forest and the away team Manchester City. Before the game, this game attracted a lot of attention, and naturally because of Tony. Dawn. For almost the entire month of August, Donn was locked up against Manchester City. For this reason, he lost the young centre-forward Bendtner, whom he highly valued in the final moments before the transfer window closed. And this game is also the first time that Bendtner has returned to the City Stadium as an opponent, what will be waiting for him? Hopefully not pigheads and lighters...... Perhaps Hughes could use this opportunity to take a good look at Bendtner's mental qualities. ”

"The Danes vowed to score at least two goals before the game, which also added a very big attraction to the game. As we all know, Nottingham Forest's defense is well-known in the Premier League. Over the past two seasons, Tony. Donne's side relied on their impregnable defence to win two consecutive European Cup titles and last season's Premier League title. It's not often that they've been conceded twice in a game, let alone by the same person. Although Tony. Donn said he believed Bendtner could do it, but I was sure of one thing — and that was that Donn must be angry. ”

"This game is also counted as two by Tony. Donn has expelled Wilford for the revenge of the young man. Ashley. Young and Bendtner both started this game. Hughes obviously wants to get acquainted with Tony as well. Donn's Tactical Ideas Forest veterans can be a sharp blade to kill Donn. But it's hard to say how effective it will be. I remember Manchester City visiting the City Stadium last season. Yang's botched performance. I wonder if he has improved after a year? ”

"Mark. Hughes has been angry with Tony during the transfer of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Bendtner. Don, the junior, is an out-and-out clown and an insatiable nasty. Tony. Donn will also be very keen to refute Hughes with a win in this game. ”

"Will Manchester City, who lost a big point in the blank chequegate incident, use this game to win back what they lost?"

"It's hard to say...... Anyway, no matter who wins or loses this game, there will always be people who feel angry and disappointed. So our dear media have a lot to do. Martin, pre-match, this match fits everything that characterizes what became a classic battle. As for the game itself, we'll find out right away. ”

Sky TV's old partner was back on the City Stadium's commentary bench.

Martin. Taylor and Andy. Gray.

One sagmerious and calm, the other passionate and humorous, these two men are Sky TV's signature sports commentary partners.

Martin. Taylor is seen as a voice that can represent the UK. The two of them came to broadcast the game and you can see how seriously Sky TV takes this game.

As the two said, with so many great stories and highlights, how could this game not be good?

※※※ Both players have already played and completed all the ceremonies to be performed before the game. Nottingham Forest won the right to pick the edge and gave the serve to Manchester City.

Bendtner stood in the centre circle in the centre of the pitch, and next to him stood Robinho. He put his foot on the football and waited for the referee to blow the whistle.

Before the game had even begun, the overwhelming boos were already ringing out, all pointing to Bendtner alone. Just because ...... He touched the ball.

Robinho was a little puzzled by the sudden boo, and he glanced at Bendtner.

Regardless of whether Robinho could understand him or not, Bendtner laughed: "The fans here ...... It's the most love-hate. ”

After hearing this boo, even Martin, who was in charge of commentating the game. Taylor laughed: "Bendtner has received the warmest greeting from the Nottingham Forest fans. Hopefully he'll get used to it. ”

"He's going to get used to it. If he still wants to score at least two goals alone. ”

Amid the boos, Bendtner didn't take his foot off the ball either. He held his head high and looked at the goal in front of him, where his former teammate Van der Sar stood. On the way from here to Van der Sar, there are also a number of former team-mates in red jerseys, who are now the enemies they must defeat.

As the previous leader said, step on their corpses and achieve yourself.

Thinking of this, he set his sights on the Forest coach's bench on the sidelines.

Tony. Don sat in the chair of the coach's seat with his hands crossed over his chest, and seemed to be looking at himself.

- Then you can use your own set to win the championship!

As you wish, start with this game.

The referee reached out in front of him and blew the whistle for the start of the match amid a huge boo.
