Chapter 30: Target: Super League (Part II)

"The game is about to enter the final ten minutes and the visiting Nottingham Forest are now 3-3 drawn. The score was also due to Ipswich's centre-back Richard; Caused by Richard Naylor's own goal in the 33rd minute. Both teams played like crazy today, scoring a total of five goals in the first half! It took 66 minutes for Ipswich to pull the score back. ”

'There's news that is not good for Forest, the news of the goal from RotherhamUnited. It was the visitors Wolves who scored the goal and the dull game finally showed signs of deciding the winner. But that's definitely bad news for Donn. If that score is maintained until the end, then Forest will be opened five points away by Wolves, who are fifth in the league. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let's see what happens...... Oh! The ball is in! Malone; Hailewood! It was his first goal of the game and his twenty-first of the season! This ball must have made Tony; Don let out a sigh! In the 79th minute, his team once again took the lead over the home team Ipswich! ”

"It's over! Nottingham Forest got their fourth consecutive win away from home! Donn and his team are on the right path! ”

April 5, the 41st round of the league. Downe led his side to a hard-fought 4-3 win away at their most direct rivals, Ipswich Town, with Haylewood's goal securing three valuable points.

On April 9, the 40th round of the league was played. Nottingham Forest lost by a narrow goal away to second-placed Leicester City. It was a planned failure. Don had reservations, so he was happy that his team had only lost by one goal and was more of a winner in the game. Leicester City have 80 points, 11 points ahead of third-placed Sheffield United, and with five league games remaining, they and 83-point Portsmouth have essentially secured two places for direct promotion to the Premier League, with the remaining teams fighting for a third place decided by the play-offs.

With seventh-placed Ipswich losing games and moving further and further away from sixth place, Donn is not worried about being overtaken. So he simply reserved his strength to deal with the next opponent - Wolverhamptonwanderers.

This is a direct dialogue between the sixth and fifth in the league. If Donn wins, Forest will be level on points with Wolves, and then rely on goal difference to hold Wolves under him and replace them. If it fails, the gap will be further widened.

While third to sixth in the league are eligible for the play-offs. However, according to FA rules, the play-offs are played over two legs, with the semi-finals being home and away, and the final being decided at a gravity venue. The two sides are played by the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. Therefore, the higher the ranking, the weaker the opponents you can meet. That's why Done is looking for a way to beat Wolves and finish fifth in the league.

Because this is a game about the play-off opponents, Donn thinks so, and the Wolves manager will naturally think so. Both sides played their main forces and made the best tactical arrangements, and it was a head-on collision with no tricks. Both managers have used up the three substitutions and have made all the changes they can make.

Just nine minutes into the game, Wolves were led by their striker Nathan; Nathanblake took the lead.

In the 26th minute, Wolves midfielder Colin; Colincameron sprinkled a handful of salt on Forest's wounds, 0:2! There was a dead silence at the City Stadium.

It was David who stepped up to save the team at the crucial moment; Johnson. His goal in the 40th minute gave Forest fans hope.

In the second half, the two sides deployed their troops, and the two head coaches used the green field as a chessboard and played a high-level chess game.

Finally, in the seventy-third minute, Donn's desperate tactics paid off. Michael, the captain who was pushed to the front line by Donn for the second time; Dawson scored his third goal of the season. The City Stadium exploded in an instant, and the stands erupted in such cheers that Don couldn't even hear his own applause.

In the next game, despite Donn's best efforts, and despite the Forest's players running to cramps, there was no way to bring the fans a victory. They reluctantly shook hands with Wolves at home.

The draw in this game did not change the pattern of the standings, and the top six were still the same names as before, and even the order did not change.

Donn's bad mood vanished when he woke up the next morning. Because this night is the time for Yang Yan to give herself a lesson. He feels that there are two things to look forward to in his current life, one is the victory in every game, and the other is the Chinese class with Yang Yan.

Every time Yang Yan saw Tang En again, he had to get used to the exclamation of his surname, because he was the fastest foreigner he had ever seen learning Chinese and Chinese, as well as Chinese culture!

Every time I heard Yang Yan praise seriously, she added: "I'm definitely not complimenting you." Don would nod vigorously in agreement. Because he is a Chinese who can speak and write Chinese, and has been born and raised in China for 26 years.

What Chinese class to take is just an excuse to get close to Yang Yan.

He just wanted to hear Yang Yan's voice, see her smile, be in the same room as her, breathe the same air, and talk about the same topics.

Basically, the first half of a class is Yang Yan giving a lecture to Tang En, and the second half is Tang En's football lesson to Yang Yan.

But neither of them felt that there was anything wrong with doing so. Yang Yan gradually became a fan of Forest, and what about Donne...... His Chinese level has also "gone a thousand miles", which makes Yang Yan feel a sense of achievement.

Every time he saw his old classmates full of achievements, Don felt funny. But he couldn't tell him who he really wasβ€”on the one hand, he realized that he might never go back to the life he used to have; On the other hand, he liked the feeling of being a coach, and even if he was a replacement, he didn't want to give it back.

As for Yang Yan...... That's the only person who can keep him in touch with his previous life, which doesn't really have much to remember Don En for, except for this girl. Occasionally, he can remember that he once went to school in China and met some people......

In a sense, Yang Yan is his first love. However, first love also mostly means that there is no result. Don doesn't plan to tell those old things, just let them rot in the bottom of his heart. Remain the same. I didn't know you before, you didn't know me before, and now that we know, there can be no more stories.

Tang En's excitement after seeing Yang Yan was more of the contrast between the present and the past, and the side effects of the intersection of reality and fantasy......

Now, that role has faded, and he's able to see each other with a more equanimous mind.

Let it pass, let it pass......
