In the last two rounds of the league against Nottingham Woodland, Donn Land is a half-main and half-substitute way to deal with the ground. On the one hand, you have to keep the players in shape, and on the other hand, you have to be careful not to have injuries, and at the same time, you have to win.

In the game with Middlesbrough, Donn replaced Sun Jihai, Lennon, Commons and others for rotation. George Wood didn't have to play in the Champions League final, so he didn't need to rest, and for the Champions League final, Donn brought Albertini on the final minute of the match to familiarise himself with the rhythm of the game and get back to his senses.

The scoreline pleased Donn as the team won 2-1 away at Middles

Even though United also won, the two sides are still separated by one point, and this point looks as insurmountable as a moat.

Then, in the final round of the league, Nottingham Forest traveled north to challenge Sunderland.

As Donn expected, Sunderland did not pose much of a threat to the morale-high Forest team, losing 3-3.

Donn used the match as a warm-up match for the Champions League final, looking at the form of the players and experimenting with new line-ups...... Georgelett Taldi partner. Among them Albertini is slightly more defensive and more often at the back. He only relies on his long passes and balls to participate in the attack. Mikel Arteta, on the other hand, was responsible for organising the attack concretely

He wanted to see how well the midfield set worked.

As a result, Sunderland is too weak. Completely unable to put any pressure on these two people. Led by two central midfielders, Forest went on the offensive and ended Sunderland's embarrassing league season with three goals.

In the final fifteen minutes of the game, Donn replaced George Jihai and replaced Zim Bonda. Replace Eastwood for Anelka. It's not a tactical change, it's just a way to keep more players in shape.

After the competition, the O5-O6 season in the English league also came to an end.

Everything is settled.

Chelsea defended their league title by a landslide and Mourinho's side have been virtually unbeatable this season and they are in excellent form in every aspect...... In addition to the Champions Cup on the ground regret.

Nottingham Forest continued their excellent performance last season and went up to the next level to finish second in the league. At the end of the season, the experts could not fail to mention them when commenting on the season. Even years later recalled the season. No one can ignore the existence of Nottingham Woodlands. The resurgence of this team broke the pattern of England's territory, and the traditional semi-final became a last-five. The question of concern now is whether Nottingham Woodlands will disappear like a meteor across the sky for the English League. Or do they continue to shine like stars, having their influence on the future direction of the league?

Membership transfer

No one knows the answer, not even Don himself.

Of course. As a competitor from other places, there aren't many people who want to see the Forest team perform like this all the time, right?

Third in the league was won by Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, who have had a lot of ups and downs in form over the past two seasons, and the team is also in a pivotal moment of alternating between the old and the new. The only thing that makes Ferguson happy is that Rooney and Cristiano are represented by the new Manchester United in the future, after all, back to the top.

Fourth in the league belongs to Arsenal. They didn't do very well in the first half of the season. Behind the start of the force. Arsene Wenger was hoping to make a breakthrough in the Champions Cup. However, in the semi-finals, Nottingham Forest was defeated on penalties. In the end, the league and the Champions Cup were empty-handed.

Liverpool may be the biggest sacrifice after Nottingham Forest's resurgence, the original traditional four of the English League: Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea. These four teams have basically qualified for the Champions Cup every season. But with Forest out of the box, last year's Champions Cup winners Liverpool have been knocked out of the top four and will have to go to the League Cup next season, with Benitez having a hard time......

Coincidentally, it seems that the rise of the Forest team will definitely be Liverpool if they are hurt. In Brian. The Lauf era, the most glorious moment at Nottingham Forest. Having beaten Liverpool three times in one year, Liverpool have been the stepping stone for Forest success in the league, League Cup and UEFA Champions League. It was Forest who interrupted the Reds' dream of dominating the domestic league and the UEFA Champions Cup.

But at the same time, the decline of the Forest team will inevitably be related to Liverpool, who broke Liverpool's monopoly on the championship land, and Liverpool then pulled the Forest team from the altar before they had time to sit firmly on the altar - the unbeaten record of 42 league games ended with Liverpool.

The Liverpool team's affection for Nottingham Forest also changed from liking it at first to fearing and hating it later - the first Liverpool fans liked the Forest team very much, because the jerseys of both teams were red, and the original Forest team played somewhat similarly to Liverpool. Later, after Forest's victory over Liverpool, stealing their league title and Champions Cup, the Liverpool team's feelings towards Forest changed.

These two teams are thus entangled. In many places are inseparable. Even a tragedy like the Heathborough tragedy was born when Liverpool played against Forest.

Putting aside the relationship between Forest and Liverpool for the time being. Let's get the focus back on the Champions Cup.

As soon as the league ended, Forest shifted their entire focus to the Champions League final. This is the most important thing for Forest this season and nothing can get past the Champions League final in people's minds.

Evendogotti has been busy lately as there are many media outlets to interview him, but he still managed to make time to go to the training ground and announce the bonus plan. Because the Forest team reached the Champions Cup final, the TV broadcast fee alone can gain a lot. Evan decided to give some of it to the triumviries.

As long as the team can win the Champions Cup, each team will receive an additional prize of at least £10,000. The main players have 30,000 pounds. In addition, even if you don't win the Champions Cup, everyone will be rewarded with 5,000 to 10,000 land.

For a Forest team without the backing of the Russian rich, this reward is already very good. After all, the team is not rich yet.

After the announcement of this plan, it has brought a big boost to the morale of the team. Who wouldn't want to be able to make a little more money?

Of course, this reward can't be compared with clubs like Chelsea and Real Madrid, but it is also a part of the club's heart. It shows the club's concern for the team.

Don put all his energy into training for new tactics. With George absent, the team had to make changes to the tactics they had been playing for more than a season, with Albertini and Arteta partnering them in an attacking style. In the final round of the league. Don has already used Sunderland as an experimental subject, but Sunderland is too weak to pose any threat to the Forest team's backline, so whether this new set of tactics can resist Barcelona's attack, Don has no idea in his heart.

George was assiduous and serious...... Or more diligently and seriously than before.

The media thought it was Wood's frustration that he couldn't make it to the finals, and only Donn knew that it must have been his words to Wood at the bar that night.

- You've got only one year left, George.

Of course, Don can't focus all his attention on the team's preparation right now, he has a few other things to do. For example, sending tickets to friends in the past. Des. He was the first person in his coaching career to really bring him into this *** and give him countless helps. Ian

The member turned Bowyer, who had been misunderstood by him, but faithfully supported his old man.

I can't forget that there are also friends of Michael who have gone to the United States, and the closest friends. Don doesn't know how Michael is living in the United States. Whether he has been relieved from the grief of losing a child in middle age, and I don't know if he has changed himself to "never watch football again. Don't touch football" promised, but he still had to send this ticket. Whether he comes to see it or not, it's a promise he made to Michael, and he wants Michael to know that he never forgot and that he has fulfilled it.

In addition, he went to Gavin's grave and burned the ticket to him. Two were burned, one for him to see and one for him to keep.

There is one more important person. Shania.

"Shania. Where will you be on May 17th? During the weekly call, Don asked the little girl.

Shania rolled her eyes, and instead of answering immediately, she asked rhetorically, "Is there something wrong, Uncle Tony?" ”

"Hmm...... I want you to watch me play."

"I'm in Paris." Shania laughed.

This answer surprised Donn: "Really? That's great! The final was held in Paris...... It's amazing! Will you go, Shania? ”

Shania deliberately dragged out her voice: "Well, it depends on whether I'm free at that time."

Don was a little disappointed to hear Shania say this.

"Lie to you! I will definitely go to the ground and the work can be pushed off and picked up later. Uncle Tony's Champions Cup final is the only one time......"

Don coughed twice: "There will be land in the future!" ”

Shania giggled on the other end of the line.

"Then it's settled, we'll see you in Paris, Shania."

"See you then. Uncle Tony! ”

Everything is going according to plan. In the last days Don asked for Welford to be closed. No media will be entertained. The team needs a quiet environment to sprint. Of course, this decision will lead to dissatisfaction among the media, and Don doesn't care. The media did not give him money again, and he was not obliged to serve the media.

Just one day before the team left for Paris. Training is still going on. On the edge of the training ground, Don received a message from the goalkeeper Ian you."

"Ian, didn't I say that? Closed at Wilford and no one can come in. Nobody is seen! The approach of the big battle made Don a little nervous, and the tone of his voice soared unconsciously.

"But......" the old doorman hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Then Don heard a faint voice on the other end of the phone, and soon a clear female voice came: "Mr. Donn, are you missing your friend when you come?" ”

The voice was very familiar, and Tang En was stunned for a moment: "It's you?" ”

He knew who was coming.

Five minutes later. Rushing from the training ground to the gate, Donn met this "old friend" - Chris

This fashionable and modern girl is completely different from the professional image that Donn first sees, she is wearing a sexy and seductive low-cut suspender and short skirt, and a pair of huge sunglasses, reclining on a red BMW sports car. Next to it, the old janitor Ian. Donner stood in the doorway with some embarrassment.

Hello...... Miss Gronia. I didn't expect to meet for the third time so soon. Don walked up." What are you here to shoot again? He looked at Gronia, who was almost unrecognizable, and was a little surprised.

"No. I came alone, without a working group." Gronia took off her sunglasses and spread her hands. And I'm also an independent producer now. I don't work for UEFA."

"Let's go in and talk......" he motioned for MacDonald to open the door.

Unexpectedly, Gronia shook her head and refused the invitation: "No need, I'm just stopping by to send you something, and I'm going to leave soon."

Don En looked surprised.

"Aren't you supposed to be very busy right now, how can you have time to go in with me for tea and chat?" Gronia laughed and looked down to take a disc from her handbag. Where the interview was filmed...... Unlike what you see on TV, this is another version that hasn't been aired yet, and I'll leave it for you as a souvenir. Hope you enjoy it."

Don took the CD. said politely: "Thank you for the gift, but you don't have to be in such a hurry...... Time always has a place to say a few words."

"Are you reluctant to let me go?" Gronia winked at Don with a grin.

For this open pungent female. Don always wouldn't cope, he was a little embarrassed: "What should I say......"

Gronia laughed happily, "By the way, that caused you a lot of trouble...... Did you solve it? Did you see her? ”

She was referring to the land in Italy at that time.

"Hmm. Solved. She later went to the stadium to watch Forest play against Inter Milan.

"Mind me...... Let me know who she is? ”

Don hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "I don't know if you know each other. A model. Judy

When Don announced the name, Gronia was also surprised: "It's her!" ”

"You know?"

"There aren't many people who don't know her as a media, right? One of the most popular models of the year, everyone is optimistic about her future on the catwalk." After a brief introduction, Gronia looked at Don with reluctance, "You have such a good relationship with her...... You're getting more and more incomprehensible to me, Mr. Donne."

"Well, that's a long story...... Don couldn't tell her these untold stories.

Gronia nodded and smiled in understanding, and she looked down at her watch. It's almost time. I have to go. I'm so sorry. I can't go there and watch you play, but I still want to wish you victory."

"Thank you. Where are you going? Looks like it's in such a hurry......"

"United States."

This answer was really unexpected by Donn.

"Los Angeles, Hollywood, talk about film collaborations." Seeing the doubt in Donn's eyes, Gronia simply explained it herself.

"Aren't you the host......"

"I'm an independent producer, and hosting shows is just my hobby." Gronia smirked a little. She put her sunglasses back on.

"Goodbye. Mr. Donne. Hopefully, the next time we meet, you'll be European champions." She pulled open the door and slipped inside. Then he leaned out and waved to Don.

"Thank you. Goodbye, Miss Gronia." Donn stood in the doorway and watched the red sports car leave.

Turn around. See the funny look on MacDonald's face. Tang Encai realized that there was a third person here just now......

"Uh, Ian, she and I are not what you think we are."

The old man smiled happily, "I know, Tony. Just friends in general."

Don knew that the old man must not believe it, but he didn't want to explain it, and the more he explained similar problems, the more chaotic it became.

He fumbled his jacket pocket.

"Originally, I wanted to surprise you after the training was over, but now it's the same...... Ian, you're going to retire after the Champions Cup final, right? ”

I don't know what Don is going to say. MacDonald just nodded. It's the ground."

"You see, I don't have any gifts for you...... That's all there is to it." He pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to MacDonald. Both Chairman Dogetty and I would like to express our gratitude to you for your 14 years of loyal service to the club."

MacDonald took the envelope and opened it, revealing that it was three round-trip tickets from London to Paris on May 17. And three tickets to the UEFA Champions League final!

"When you arrive in Paris, the club pays for everything you need."

Holding the envelope, his hand trembled, and MacDonald said to Don in a trembling voice, "Actually, you don't have to do this...... It's very satisfying for the team to reach the final again."

Don smiled: "After you came to the club. It's always been the darkest days for the team, relegation and promotion, promotion and relegation...... I hope to see some of the things you've ever wanted to see before you leave. Thank you. Ian, thank you for everything you've done for the team and for the club for 14 years."

McDonald looked down at the UEFA logo ticket: "It's me who says thank you, Tony...... I'm just a gatekeeper ......."

Don patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to stop talking, "Haven't you been to the scene to watch the game for a long time?" When the time comes, bring your family and children and go to the game live."

Old Ian nodded vigorously.
