Nicolas Anelka's goal sent both managers to their fists on the sidelines. Just Nottinghamson manager Tony? Done was excited to smash and Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini was furious.

With fifteen minutes to go, Nottingham Forest had a two-goal lead at home and the game was almost a winner.

Villarreal had just adjusted their tactics and prepared to defend when they were scored a goal, which was a heavy blow to their morale. Now, even if they want to pull a goal back, I'm afraid they won't have that chance.

Another person who is angry about conceding a goal is Riquelme, and although he rarely puts his expression directly on his face, anyone can see the reluctance on his blank face now.

If the manager had insisted on attacking, they might have equalised before Forest scored the second goal, and the situation on the pitch would have been different.

Well, now that you have given up the attack, you have given up the right to fight for victory, and this retribution is coming so quickly.

The game has ended early.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the score displayed on the electronic scoreboard sent the Forest fans cheering. 2:o A brilliant home win.

This is the first Champions League victory for the City Stadium after 24 years, laying a solid foundation for Forest to enter the Champions League.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Manuel Pellegrini felt that Forest had outperformed his own team and that they deserved to win.

The Chilean hurried away with his team, while the Forest stayed behind to receive the cheers of the crowd in the square outside the stadium. Twenty-seven thousand people gathered outside from inside the city stadium to block the Forest's bus and chant the Forest's anthem over and over again.

The world is in our hands, and the world is in our hands......

Looking at the red all over the car outside the car, it felt as if the Forest team had already won the championship and returned. But it's just a qualifying win......

Nottingham Foresters have been hungry for the Champions Cup for too long, in the minds of many. They may have forgotten that the local team they supported was once a strong team in the Champions Cup. It used to be a strong team that won the cup twice in a row. Now Don is making them feel this happiness again, or for the first time.

They don't have to watch other teams' Champions Cup performances in front of the TV, they can look forward to their own team's Champions League, they can talk about their team's performance in the Champions Cup match that has just ended, they can go to the stadium to watch the Champions Cup in person, they can go to the city stadium to watch the Champions Cup and cheer for their team.

Thinking a little further, they can follow in the footsteps of their own teams, set foot in the big 6 of Europe, and go to the stadiums of those big teams to show off their might.

A little further afield...... Maybe we can step back on the pitch in the final of the European Champions Cup?

Who says it's impossible? When Nottingham Forest had just been promoted from the second division to the first division. Who would have thought of Brian? Will Clough be able to lead Forest to the European Cup a year later and defend the trophy two years later?

Everything is done by people. Two years ago, when Forest were struggling to finish fourth from bottom in the Championship, who would have thought they would beat Villarreal at home in the Champions League qualifying round today?

David? Like a child, Chris Rac leaned on the window of the car, looking out at the sea of red and smiling happily. It was the first time he had seen such a scene since he entered Nottingham Forest.

"Not bad, right? There will be such scenes in the future. Don, who was sitting next to him, laughed.

The next day Nottingham's media was dominated by yesterday's game, newspapers, television, radio, streets...... It's talking about that game all over the place.

Niklas who scored the goal? Bendtner's popularity soared, and even Anelka was supported and accepted by the fans. There's nothing like scoring in what fans consider to be the most important game. It's even more flattering to them.

Of course, the fans were still talking about the game with great interest, but after winning such a wonderful game, the Forest players did not get even half a day's rest. Not Tony, the head coach? Don is ruthless, but because the curtain of the new season has slowly opened.

The English League is the oldest of Europe's top five leagues to start and the latest to finish. The most intense fixtures, without a winter break, are, in Donn's words, "dehumanizing, miserable, physically and mentally torturing the players, and having fun with the family at Christmas, or going on vacation." In the English League, the players have to play two or three games a week like rushing to the field, in the cold winter. The chance of injury is greatly increased."

On 10 August, Nottingham Forest got the O5-O6 season off to a good start by winning the first leg of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round against Villarreal

Players and ordinary fans can welcome the English league in three days with a relaxed and happy mood.

On 13 August, the O5-O6 season kicked off with last season's champions Chelsea travelling to promoted Sunderland. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, will welcome another promoted team at home, Wigan Athletic, who were previously known by the media as "Nottingham Forest's second".

The nickname was given by the media when Wigan Athletic was in the Championship. Because the style and some characteristics of this team are very similar to the Forest team, such as their emphasis on full-court pressing, fast assault on both wings, the momentum of never admitting defeat, and the unpretentious style of play like blue-collar workers, all of which make people vaguely see Nottingham Forest, which successfully rushed in half a season in the Championship that year.

After Don knew this, he felt a little crying and laughing. He certainly knows how impressive Wigan Athletic's first season has been, and if the media knew what the future holds, they would surely be complacent about the moniker they gave away in advance. In fact, Wigan Athletic's first season in England was just as impressive as Forest's last season, only they ended up less in the top of the table.

From this point of view, it is not wrong to be called "Nottingham Forest second".

Don felt that he had become a role model for others.

In the pre-match interview, Wigan Athletic kept a low profile, and their head coach Paul? Jewell has admitted that his team can be promoted to England, and he has learned from Tony? Donn learned a lot from him, and Donn's Forest team gave him a lot of inspiration.

This is even more solid to the name of "Nottingham Forest second".

Finally, Jewell added: "...... We all remember the promotion of Nottingham Forest last season in the English League, they were impressive, I think Tony? Coach Donn is one of England's homegrown coaches...... No, I'm not boasting...... Wigan Athletic are aiming for relegation this season, but I hope the team will be called 'Nottingham Forest second' by the end of the league, but this time it's not because of the style of play, it's the results. ”

Hearing these words, Don felt quite mysterious. This one of his own has become a model for the head coach who actually exists in this world.

So he wanted to laugh, not proudly, but absurdly. But he couldn't laugh because the thing itself was not happy.

As Sky nears the end of its monopoly on English broadcasting, Europe recently forced Sky to allocate a portion of its monopoly to the BBc, and this season in the English as a trial of a new rights purchase, both BBc and Independent Television have acquired the rights to broadcast a portion of the English league fixtures.

While this will cost most of the smaller clubs a lot of money, for Forest fans, what makes them happy is that the commentator John Brown, who has been a consistent supporter of Forest. Mortensen is back.

Nottingham Forest's home match against Wigan Athletic was the BBc English match, and naturally, it was also played by their ace commentator John Athletic. Mortenson and Alain? Hansen's partner comment.

However, with 20 minutes into the game, Mortensen did not say a few good words to the long-lost Forest.

"Now, I really want to replay Paul before the game? What coach Jewell said in an interview. "Mortenson's style is one in which he praises without hesitation and criticizes with an unbearable tone." Forest fans must be starting to wonder what Jewell's motive was for saying that. I think it's more likely to confuse Forest. Tony? Did Coach Donn feel angry at this time? ”

Next to Alain? Hansen interjected and asked, "Why is he angry?" ”

"Because he's been tricked!" Mortenson burst out laughing. He knew Done, that's why he said that. Don must have a feeling of being deceived, and with Don En's character, it is impossible not to be angry.

At this moment, Tony sitting in the dugout? Donn was angry, but more often than not, because of Jewell's words, but because of his team's poor performance.

That's a big contrast!

Three days earlier, at the same pitch, Forest had won Villarreal cleanly, and the aftermath of that victory will remain in the memories of the Forest players and fans alike.

And three days later, this game. Forest are now helpless against Wigan Athletic's bucket formation and quick counter-attacks.

Looking at the mess on the field, Don had to shake his head every once in a while.
