Nottingham Forest are going through a change not seen in a decade and it is said that the next man who could be leaving the team is Ibisevic. That's what Flores asked. After all, now that the Forest team has a more mature Mitchel, Ibisevic's form will inevitably decline as he gets older, and he can make more money by selling it now.

But none of this has anything to do with Donn.

In the past, Donn felt that being the head coach of the national team must be easier than being the head coach of the club, because the national team rarely plays every year. But it was really when he sat in this position that he realized his mistake.

As he had just taken over the England squad and was not yet familiar with the players on the national team waiting list, he had to spare a lot of time every day to do his homework – watching the players in the games, familiarising himself with the strengths and weaknesses of each of them, and establishing their place in his mind.

Although he also played against the teams of these players when he was in charge of the Forest team, it is not the same as studying as an opponent as a subordinate. He also needs to get to know these players again. This knowledge is delicate and even includes what foods each person likes to eat.

Spending ten hours a day in front of a computer screen, Done's eyes were a little unbearable. When he was tired, he called Shania, and no matter what time it was, Shanya would definitely accompany him.

The separation lasted a little longer, and it was as if there was a lot to talk about between them. In fact, they are all trivial things in life, such as what I ate this morning and what you ate, both of you can mumble for a long time, and you can laugh for a while during the period.

Chatting with Shania is also a way for Don to reduce his pressure, so he never talks about work, even football.

This is how the rìzi passed. The new season of the English Premier League has finally kicked off.

As the defending champions, Nottingham Forest's home match against promoted Charlton Athletic is set to be the opener, which will be broadcast live to the world.

The day before the game, Nottingham Forest's official website posted the slogan for the new season:

New Stadium, New Season, New Glory!

This is also the voice of Evan Dogerty. After Tony Downe is gone, the best way to make people forget about the decorated coach is to reinvent the wheel. It's like the best solution after a broken love is not to drink to drown your sorrows, but to start a new relationship quickly.

Evan hopes Flores can get the team back in love. Flores has quality, he has brought Valencia to become a domestic powerhouse in Spain, and Evan has high hopes for him.

Ibisevic has left the team, and Alon Mitchel has completely secured the position of the team's number one striker. But he didn't have a good time with the Forest team, because his most trusted manager is gone, and a lot of things have happened in the team, if it weren't for the fact that he was the most die-hard Forest fan since he was a child, it's hard to say whether he would have followed the example of those players who left and left the Forest team.

In this opening match, Donn will once again go to the scene to watch the game. Choosing to watch Nottingham Forest's game twice in a row is a signal that Donn will form a new national team with Forest players as the core, while others think that it is just that Donn can't let go of the team he has coached for 11 years.

Perhaps only Donn himself knows what he thinks, and he has watched Nottingham Forest play twice in a week in a row. This must have caused displeasure from other clubs who felt that he had ignored the other nineteen clubs in the Premier League. However, Donn has always been a man who does his own thing, and the FA has no influence on the rule that he cannot watch the same team play in a row.

"I don't deny that I intend to build the squad with the players from Nottingham Forest at the core. Des. On the way to the court, Donn said to the assistant coach next to him. He needs to make his assistant coaches understand his thoughts so they can get along.

Walker didn't say anything, he knew his partner's temper. The comments of the media did not affect this person at all. He just has to worry about whether the Forest players can handle the pressure.

When the two of them came to the Crimson Stadium, there were already a lot of people in the stands. Players from both sides are warming up on the field. They didn't meet anyone on their way into the box, and naturally they weren't recognized by the fanatical fans.

Walker was still quipping Donn: "Why don't you wear sunglasses?" ”

Tang En glanced at him, "Today is yīn day. ”

Walker grinned, silent.

The last time Don was here, I still remember the scene of being booed by more than 50,000 fans, and it was not a pleasant experience. After more than half a month, the place has changed dramatically.

Pepe is gone, Shaheen is gone, Ibisevic is gone, Martin O'Neill is gone.

The Nottingham Forest team, which is warming up in front of them, is gradually becoming unfamiliar and will soon have nothing to do with Donn.

Donn and Walker sat down in their seats and waited quietly for the game to begin.

With five minutes to go before kick-off, the club's president, Evan Dogerty, appeared on the podium. The live broadcast also cut the camera to him. When the fans saw him appear on the big screen at the scene, they collectively booed, who had nothing to do.

Then a very eye-catching slogan appeared on the stand opposite the rostrum, which was written in black sè paint:

FUCK_YOU，MR. Doughty！！！

This sentence is the best thing to say to all Forest fans.

Don couldn't help but laugh when he saw this sign in the box. It seems that these fans already know who is responsible for all this, and he doesn't have to bear the blame for it anymore.

The director in charge of the live broadcast of this game was a smart man, and fifteen cameras on the scene captured every corner of the stadium. There were fifteen monitor screens in front of him, and Evan Dogerty was captured on camera number five, and as a director, he was well aware of what had happened to Nottingham Forest recently, so he deliberately broadcast this footage.

He was pleased with the reaction of the fans at the scene, and the first gimmick of the game had already been generated.

At this time, the No. 15 machine swept over the area of the box, and the director, who had sharp eyes, felt that something was wrong.

He motioned for his men to cut back the image they had just swept. Then he saw a familiar face on it.

He laughed, "Aha, let me get you, baby...... Give a close-up! Ten seconds at least! ”

The man in the picture is Tony Donn.

※ ※ ※

When Tony Towne and Deswalker appeared on the big screen at the scene, the fans who were booing Evan Dogetty in the stands were stunned, then stopped booing the club president and began to stand up collectively and applaud the man on the big screen.

Someone else whistled, but it wasn't booing him.

On the screen, Don is talking to Walker, not noticing that the character on the big screen has changed to him. Walker, who was listening to him, saw it and hurriedly gestured to Donne.

So Don also looked up at the big screen.

When he raised his head, the applause from the audience was non-stop, and there were huge cheers. Many fans whistled and waved the red sè scarves in their hands at him, and some were shouting something with their mouths open, but sporadically and inaudible in the noisy environment.

Walker smiled and said to a stunned Donn, "It's a very different treatment than last time, Tony." How does it feel? ”

To be honest, Don was indeed intimidated by the actions of these fans. Although he thought that after the truth was revealed, he should not be booed by the fans again, but he also did not expect that he would still get such a welcome......

When he came back to his senses, he was a little moved.

Fans in the stands, no matter where they were, got up and twisted to the VIP box on the left side of the podium, and waved their scarves or whatever they could in their hands.

The shouts grew louder and louder, eventually converging into a torrent of voices that swept across the rostrum and rushed towards the VIP box.

Now the sound didn't need to be listened to to be heard, it was so clear that it reached Donn's ears, and even the thick double-glazed soundproof glass didn't work at all.

The more than 50,000 fans in the stadium were all chanting the name of one person.

"Tony! Tony! Tony!! ”

The sound swept through the audience, rampage and raged to the fullest.

※ ※ ※

"Push closer! Features! Close-up of the face! "The director in charge of broadcasting the game directs the cameras. It was the best play before the game.

※ ※ ※

In the zoomed-in close-up of his face, one can clearly see Donn's eyes moistened as he stood up and looked at the stands.

Originally, he was sitting, but when the cries of the fans grew louder, he could no longer sit calmly, so he stood up.

Standing in the VIP box, against a huge glass wall, he watched the fans below as they fanned a storm.

※ ※ ※

Bill, the thin man in the stands, whistled and applauded vigorously, clapped a few times, and then waved the scarf in his hand, facing the VIP box. Behind him, quite a few people are like him.

These people had scolded and booed Donn in the same place, but now they gave the same people their heartfelt applause and cheers.

"Tony!!" Bill roared hoarsely, as if his vocal cords were going to break.

John watched from the sidelines, not applauding, as he and his companions were pulling a banner facing the VIP box.

That banner Donn is no stranger to, when he led his team here half a month ago, the banner was here, and said to him:

Welcome home, Tony!

The tsunami-like cheers continued for a full minute, and there was no sign of stopping. What was supposed to be a ten-second close-up became a minute, then two minutes......

The commentators and commentators, who were doing pre-match analysis, looked at the scene and exclaimed, "This is really a king's treatment......

"Perhaps the FA should consider changing England's home stadium from the new Wembley Stadium to the Crimson Stadium. Here, Tony Downe's side will definitely get the warmest unconditional support. ”

※ ※ ※

Both teams have finished their preparations in the dressing room, and the players are appearing in the tunnel one after another, waiting to play.

Then they heard a burst of enthusiastic cheers and applause, sounding without warning. Especially since the voice was still followed by the boos, and no one could figure out what was going on outside.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know......"

Just when a group of people were confused about this, Flores walked out of the field accompanied by Chris Lack.

The huge cheers from the scene almost knocked him over.

His first reaction was: This is a cheer and applause for me!

So he held his head high, intending to accept this meeting gift.

Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw a close-up of Tony Downe on the big screen. His expression became awkward, and he understood who he was welcoming in this formation......

※ ※ ※

The more the fans cheered, the more ugly Evan Dogetti's face became on the podium. In his opinion, the fans' move is undoubtedly a slap in the face in the name of welcoming Donne.

And what made him even angrier was that he couldn't fight back......

※ ※ ※

"I see!" Bell snapped his fingers suddenly.

All the players in the Forest squad were looking at him.

Bell didn't release the answer directly, but asked in a vague way: "Who can be so popular here?" Who can make those fans outside cheer from the bottom of their hearts for two minutes? Who is eligible for such treatment? Who is it! ”

When Bale asked the first rhetorical question, the players guessed who he was talking about. Because in the whole of Nottingham, there will not be a second person who meets all of the above characteristics.

So before Bell could finish speaking, everyone shouted: "Boss!" ”

“YES！”

The sudden shouting of the Forest players startled the Charlton players next to them, and they leaned on the other side to watch the strange opponents curiously. They must not be able to comprehend the feelings that Nottingham Forest's veteran players have for Tony Downe, just as they cannot comprehend the cheers of the earth outside.

George Wood was the last to come out, and as soon as he walked here, he heard his teammates shouting, "Boss!!" ”

"What?" Wood asked.

Bell excitedly pointed to him and said, "The boss is back!" It's up there! ”

Wood glared at him, "What does it have to do with us?" Our task is to win this game. ”

Bell shrugged and ignored the awkward man.

※ ※ ※

Don stood in the VIP box. Fans are still chanting his name, waving towels, clapping, and whistling at him, expressing their love for Donne.

His mood finally stabilized.

Although it was a mistake for Yīn to appear here in the first place, he had never imagined that he would have anything to do with such a professional football club in England. But now Nottingham Forest has taken a very important place in his life.

He thought he would never be able to fall in love with a second team again in his life.

There are his ideals here, but also the harsh reality. There are years full of passion, and there are painful memories full of tears. There are eleven years of his entire life.

When he won 12 trophies for the team before leaving, he found that no amount of trophies could match the heartfelt support of the fans, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.

It is precisely because of these people in front of him that the championship trophy he desperately "grabbed" back has a shining meaning.

※ ※ ※

The players came out and the cheers continued.

Almost all of the players who have played under Donn will turn their heads and look up for Tony Down in the VIP box as they run out of the aisle. After learning the truth, the players who had been confused regained their faith, and they were delighted that the people they admired the most had not betrayed them.

As Bell ran out, he turned and saluted in the direction of the VIP box.

Walker knew what the action meant. He sighed beside him: "It's really painful to be your successor. ”

Still standing in front of the glass curtain wall, Donn responded, "Eleven years, if I can't even keep such a thing, I'm too much of a failure." ”

"You said Dogetty called you again and invited you back. Why did you refuse? Seeing Donn's reluctant look, Walker couldn't help but ask.

Evan was a jerk, but he was right - it was time to start the journey again. It's true for me and for Nottingham Forest. Donn turned to Walker.

The fans have turned their attention to the players on the pitch and every Forest player has been hailed as heroes.

The picture on the big screen at the scene also changed to the list of appearances of both sides, and Don finally withdrew from people's sight.

m.

In this opening game, Nottingham Forest, who occupied the advantage of the home field, was almost pulled down by promoted Charlton Athletic. Had it not been for the fact that they had scored two goals in the last five minutes, they would have lost 1-0 at home.

The Forest's players didn't want to perform too badly in front of the leader, but instead they were burdened with mental baggage.

A narrow win didn't satisfy the fans, but only made them miss Tony Towne sitting in the VIP box at this time. In the final ten minutes of the game, the fans took aim at Evan Dogetty on the podium. They give Evan a middle finger and insult Evan with a "FUCK" lip call, and then they chant Tony Donn's name to embarrass Evan by saying "FUCK".

Even the news media and commentators don't pay much attention to the outcome of this game...... Or rather, the results and the process have only sparked their interest in reporting on "Tony Downe's influence on this team".

For all the media in attendance, they witnessed the thrilling scene before the game began, and got a glimpse of what Tony Downe means to Nottingham Forest.

He's not the top leader of the club, but he's the king here.

Because—

He's not here, but there's a legend about him.
