In the second half of the game, Don made a substitution, after all, it was only a friendly match, and the substitutions in such a game were not three people in the regular game, but were decided by negotiation between the two sides. According to the results previously agreed by both parties, a maximum of eleven substitutions can be made in this match.

Even in England's third-tier squad, few of the players who have been allowed to go by the club can play the whole game, and Downe has hardly recruited a single player to promise the opposing club that the player will only play half a game at most. As a newcomer to the national team, Donn, who has just taken charge of the national team and has achieved a blank slate in terms of national team, is now very humble. Even in the media, there are no provocative remarks.

After halftime, Donn made four substitutions in one go, James. Milner replaces Joe. Cole, Michael. Johnson replaces Mark. Noble, Paul. Pepper replaces Ashley, who has just returned from injury. Cole, James. Vaughn replaces Darren. Bent.

Unlike the large substitutions on Donne's side, the second half was five minutes into the game, Martin. O'Neill, for his part, stood still. He didn't make any substitutions.

"It looks like O'Neill wants to win this game." Donn muttered to himself in the dugout.

O'Neill's idea is actually quite simple, Forest's strongest squad will definitely have to stay on the pitch for a while longer, as his plan is to storm England's penalty area at the start of the second half and try to score goals. If you make a substitution at the beginning of the second half, how can you attack?

So when the score was still 1-0 five minutes into the second half, he looked a little nervous. He got up from his seat and paced back and forth on the sidelines. At the same time, my mind was quickly thinking about the possibilities and countermeasures in the future.

If they can't blast England away after another 10 minutes, then they will have to replace most of their main players and give them plenty of rest, while shrinking the formation, switching to the defence and facing England. O'Neill has the confidence that with the quality of that England team, it will not be easy to break through the door of his own team. Even if you win this game 1:0, you can be considered to be able to make a difference, at least you win.

What if England equalised? Then replace a small number of main players, maintain enough strength, and continue to attack. Strive to take the lead again.

And Martin, who was a little distracted. O'Neill is different, Tony. Tang En has been sitting firmly in the Diaoyu Tai. He crossed his legs in the leather chair. England recycled the defence as he said, compressing the space and time for Nottingham Forest to move in front of their penalty area, which made Nottingham Forest a little uncomfortable. O'Neill wanted the team to play a little better, so there were a lot of short passes, especially in the middle.

This was unnecessary in Don's opinion, but perhaps O'Neill chose to do so in order to deliberately separate himself from Done.

After another ten minutes, Nottingham Forest still couldn't find a good chance to get into the England penalty area, and they had to rely more on long-range shots to try and score. However, this also caused a bit of trouble for England - at half-time Donn asked the team to take advantage of the gap left by Forest's two wide assists, but fifteen minutes into the second half, Forest's two full-backs did not provide very active assists, which also seemed to be O'Neal's intention. Gareth Bale and Raphinha only crossed the halfway line once England had retreated to the 30-metre zone.

In this way, Donn's side counterattack could not be played.

Fifteen minutes passed, O'Neill saw that his side did not score, and the attack on Donne's side was not very sharp, so he decided to make a substitution.

He replaced Fernandez with Cohen, Bentley with Mock, Shaheen with Gago and Abbonlaho with Ibisevic. There were also four changes, but not a single one at the back moved. He was still careful not to give Don the slightest chance.

Don saw O'Neal make a substitution, and he knew his chance had come.

So he got up from his seat for the first time in the second half and walked to the sidelines.

Seeing him get up and walk out, there was a wave of boos in the stands against him. Don turned a deaf ear, just shouting the names of the players on the field, waving his hand to signal that they could press it out a little.

O'Neill has George. Wood is on his radar, so he wants to build Nottingham Forest into a team that can play good football, which is a far cry from the fast passage through midfield that Donn emphasised in the past. His efforts have paid off slightly, and now this is the Forest team's performance in midfield is indeed much more beautiful than the previous one, and the layered style of play, the team's passing, cutting and running coordination, make the Forest's attack seem to be as smooth as a cloud.

However, his set did not play its due role in the face of England, which had to be defended before.

O'Neill has also decided to make some adjustments.

Forest's only goal in the first half came from a cross from the wing, and it looked like they were going to get back on the wings. He gestured from the sidelines to get Bale and Raphinha back into attack.

This is the signal that Bale and Raphinha want to see the most, and for them who are stronger in attack than in defense, only attacking can give them a sense of achievement.

After Balle passed the ball to Cohen, he didn't wait to see the situation in the back and decide whether to plug it in like he had done in the previous times, but this time he was very determined to step forward and overtake Cohen.

As teammates who have worked together for several seasons, Chris. Cohen also knew what Bell meant. Now that the coach has relaxed the restrictions on full-backs' assists, coupled with his trust in Bale's attacking ability, Cohen has passed the ball through.

It must be said that the national team that Donn put together temporarily has a big gap with Nottingham Forest in terms of strength, Jack. Cook alone couldn't stop Bale's assault, and because of the lack of tacit understanding, Ferdinand didn't come up to fill in at the first time. The two of them just let Bell rush past them.

There were loud cheers from the stands, cheering for Bale's breakthrough. They are eager to see Forest score another goal, the score of 1:0 is not enough, to know what level of team Forest is against - England third-tier team!

Seeing Bell break through, Don became a little nervous. He knew Bell, this little monkey usually looked harmless to humans and animals, but when it came to the competition, he denied his six relatives, and showed a calm that did not match his age. This is the point that Don valued him at the beginning, but now it has become the point that worries Don the most.

Mitchel is still waiting inside, as long as he gets the ball in......

Don involuntarily clenched his fists.

Bale did pass a high ball, and this time it was Whit who saved England and also Donne. David is 1.96 meters tall. Whitt got stuck in position and Mitchel couldn't fight for the ball, and then he jumped to his feet and pushed the ball out.

The cheers in the stands suddenly dispersed into sighs.

Donn's fist didn't let go, because he saw another scene that had made him wait for ten minutes.

The ball that Whitt topped didn't fall to the feet of the Forest players, but to Delphi. And Delphi was right on Bell's side. Bale had just assisted and hadn't had time to get back into the defense......

"Fight back!" Don couldn't help but yell from the sidelines. For a moment, he forgot that he was on the Crimson Stadium, and that his opponent was Nottingham Forest, which he had coached for eleven years. All he wanted in his mind was to make the boos from the stands disappear for a moment, and the phrase in the corridor of the Crimson Stadium resurfaced.

In addition to victory, it is still victory.

I'm Tony. That's how Done's coaching career has been, even if it's a different team......

Delphi also noticed this, and he didn't run forward with the ball himself, after all, no matter how fast a person runs, he can't compete with a soccer ball flying in the air.

He passed the football to James, who only came on in the second half. Vaughn, Everton's leading goalscorer, has also been pulled to the wing at this moment. Although they hadn't practiced together for a long time before, as a professional player, so many years of tactical literacy have at least known that they have to find the opponent's space to take advantage of when attacking.

That's something he thought of with Delphi.

As soon as he pulled to the side, Delphi's ball was passed.

The full-backs are empty, and the centre-backs and midfielders have to come and fill in the positions.

George. Wood was as fierce as ever, and he rushed up to cut off Vaughn's ball. As a veteran rival in the Premier League, Vaughn certainly knows what Wood is capable of, and he doesn't have the arrogance to think that he can get away with Wood's pressing, and the smartest thing to do is to get the ball out before he pounces......

Wood knocked Vaughn down, but instead of blowing the whistle for a foul on Forest, the referee reached out with his hands in the direction of the attack - the attack was advantageous and the game continued!

Vaughn got ahead of Wood and passed the ball to his junior brother Joseph, an Everton team-mate who had come in from midfield. Baxter.

The Nottingham Forest centre-back is still keeping an eye on another striker, Frazier. Campbell, plus he had just put in an attack, the defense was underwhelming, except for the two central defenders, it was George. Wood too.

Baxter equals a man who has no defenders at all.

Pepe and Thiago. Silva made another mistake in the combination at this point - it stands to reason that one of them should go up to defend Baxter, and the other should stay behind and watch Campbell, only to see Baxter get the ball and rush up at the same time.

At that moment, Baxter passed. He gave the ball to Campbell, who was waiting in front of him and was not offside.

When Campbell received the ball, he was behind the entire Forest backline, with no one around.

Silva raised his hand to signal for Campbell offside, but the referee and linesman did not react.

Only Pepe turned and pounced on Campbell.

It was too late for him to burst into the box and Pepe rushed over only to trip Campbell there.

This time the referee and the linesman finally reacted, the linesman raised the flag and kept waving, while the referee whistled and ran to the penalty spot in the penalty area!

"Penalty!" The narrator shouted.

O'Neal's eyes widened on the sidelines, barely in disbelief what he was seeing.

The commentator followed Pepe, who ridiculed the foul: "In the Champions Cup final, he also pushed a penalty to Real Madrid, and he gave a big gift again in this game." Could it be that Pepe really wants to help Tony. Donne? Think about that hug he and Don had before the game started, what did the two of them say when they hugged each other? ”

The stunned fans in the stands booed the decision. Some people may wonder if this is intentional on Pepe's part......

Anyway, England was awarded a "lucky" penalty. Vaughn took the penalty and made it a 1:1 draw.

Watching his team score, Don was not as excited as before to deliberately make those exciting celebrations on the sidelines, he didn't even slap the face, standing motionless on the sidelines like a marble statue.

It stands to reason that this is the time when he should make an excited look and gesture to get the England players to agree with him as the new manager. But Donn turned up the opportunity to get closer to his players, just because deep down he couldn't make that move against Forest.

For him, Nottingham Forest was not considered an enemy until now...... Not in the future. Because the England national team will hardly have the opportunity to play against Nottingham Forest in the future. They should be two parallel lines that do not interfere with each other, but they have crossed by accident today.

He wasn't ready to see Nottingham Forest again so soon......

Fans can boo him because they have reasons to hate him. He could also lead the team to beat Nottingham Forest here because he can't go against his work ethic. But at the very least, he could choose not to celebrate after his team's goal, which might make him and the fans feel better.

However, he could not let outsiders see that this was the reason why he did not celebrate. So he can only pretend to be cool with a straight face, as if he is not satisfied with the team for so long to get back the score. At least he managed to fool the narrator.

"Tony. Donn didn't seem to be very happy with the draw, and he kept a straight face after the team's goal. What a tough manager, I can almost see the big names in England under him, aha! ”

Skinny Bill was still on the side and led his die-hard fellows to boo the goal conceded, and Fat John didn't care about the outcome of the game at all. He came here to see Donne, and seeing Donn standing in place without even raising his hand and his posture unchanged, John thought of Tony, who was more eye-catching on the sidelines than the scorer when the Forest team scored. Dawn. He did somersaults, he slid on his knees, and he was crushed by the players......

I'm afraid I'll never see such a scene again, right?

John sighed softly, then turned away from his actions and walked towards the exit.

"John? Don't watch it? Someone nearby noticed his unusual behavior.

John shook his head, "Don't look at it." He slowly moved his fat body and disappeared into the exit.

※※※

Fat John left early, so he didn't see the scene in the 80th minute 20 minutes later, when Nottingham Forest's backfield pass error was seized by Vaughn to take the opportunity to go to the next city.

The huge Crimson Court was deadly silent, as if they had just lost the European Championship. The people who were waiting to see Donn's jokes and make Don look good were all stunned, their brains blanked, and they didn't know what to say. Even the likes of Beal didn't expect the mighty Nottingham Forest to fall behind an England third-tier side on their home turf......

The England players on the pitch hugged each other excitedly and celebrated their comeback goal. And Don sat in the coach's seat this time, still not saying anything. He stubbornly adheres to his inner "principle" – not to cheer and celebrate any of his team's goals against Forest.

But how many of the more than 50,000 people in the stands understood his ridiculous "principle"?

This Tony. Dawn! This abominable traitor! This shameless Judas!

You have betrayed us! You betrayed Nottingham Forest!

Now that you're ahead of us, it's unforgivable for you to put on such a casual and arrogant look! How do you feel about beating your old favourite Nottingham Forest? Feeling happy?

But we don't!!
