Chapter 175: Left Behind (Part 1)

During the halftime break, Donne praised the whole team and focused on Crouch, but he did not praise Crouch for lifting up his clothes and dedicating the goal to Eastwood. Instead, he praised Crouch's keen sense of smell... As for the players' friendship with Eastwood, Donne knew it in his heart. Donne felt that it was a bit artificial when he made a big fuss.

He didn't know if Eastwood was watching this game. Thanks to his teammates for saying this, so he would keep him and return to the team and tell him to Crouch and the others.

The Forest's ground offensive tactics were beyond Everton's expectations, and he scored a goal at the end of the first half. Donne affirmed this tactical style and praised Arteta. He knew very well that the Spaniard urgently needed praise now, so he was not stingy. Arteta did a good job, so why not say something he hoped to hear?

In the second half, Donn asked the team to continue to stick to this style of play. He was bullying Everton now without Arteta, while Forests had it.

After the game began, the Forest continued to suppress the midfield. Arteta used offense to suppress, while George Wood completely frozen Everton's most threatening player Tim Cahill. He made the back shot that he was best at was unable to play at all. With him, Arteta could fully utilize his offensive talent and sort out the Forest's midfield and frontcourt in an orderly manner.

Everton does not have Arteta so he seems very chaotic in organizing the offense. They know they can't afford to lose in this game, but there is no good way. After Cahill gets the ball, he often has to choose to shoot long shots, and the offensive efficiency can be imagined to be low.

And what about Nottingham Forest? Continue to walk at your own pace, no matter how slow you are, everything is controlled by Arteta.

Twelve days are not in vain. During these twelve days, Donn told the players very clearly. Arteta is the core of the team, and all tactics revolve around him. The same is true for the game. You all have to listen to him and follow his rhythm. Arteta's rhythm is the rhythm of Nottingham Forest.

Now, the results of the twelve-day training have been well verified on the field.

Although the score has not changed, it is still 1:0, but Everton cannot take advantage of the slightest advantage in the scene. They can only be fooled by the Forest team. Looking at this scene, Tang En is full of confidence in the performance of the Forest team next season.

"Look, look at this Spaniard. Coach Tony Donn's vision of people is amazing. Mikel Arteta's performance at Real Sociedad was terrible. During the winter transfer period, only two clubs were interested in him - now they are all on this court. Moyes is still a little hesitant, hoping to examine Arteta's ability through loan, while Tony Donn directly quoted Real Sociedad and took away this player not favored. Now. Arteta has repaid coach Donn's trust in him. His performance is really outstanding!"

Andy Grey briefly introduced the relationship between Mikel Arteta and the two teams now. He can bet that Moyes has never regretted it as much as he is now.

Gray guessed well, Arteta's performance made Tony Donn feel relieved, and David Moyes next door felt like he was on pins and needles.

As time passed, Everton's scene still did not improve. Moyes sat on the coach's seat. He held his hands together and looked at the court coldly. No one knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps... now he knows that the indecisiveness of the team's board of directors has not only caused him to lose an excellent player. He will also lose more and more...

In the second half of the second half, Nottingham Forest launched an offensive against Everton's goal again and again under Arteta's continuous instigation. Finally, in the 77th minute of the game, Ribery received Arteta's wonderful pass and won another goal.

What's worse than the 2:0 score is that Everton has no way to get back control of the game. They have two defensive midfielders in the midfield, but no one has a clear idea and does not know how to play the offense. Everyone wants to equalize the score as soon as possible. But some people want to pass the long pass directly from the backcourt and get a quick and direct one. Some people think that they should advance layer by layer, play steadily, and control the ball rights under their feet to have an offense.

If your thinking is not unified, you will be able to play well in the game.

On the contrary, the Forest team played more and more relaxed under the leadership of Arteta. They fully grasped the situation on the court.

Amid the cheers of Forest fans, the game finally came to an end. Everton lost 0:2 to Nottingham Forest away.

When the final whistle sounded, Moyes raised his head and sighed. The rain had stopped. Then he strode towards the home team coach's seat. He took the initiative to shake hands with Don En.

"It's still one point away, Tony. I won't let you do it."

"Then you have to be careful!" Tang En, who won the ball, was in a good mood and replied with a smile.

The two shook hands, Moyes turned around and left the court first, while Tang En continued to stand on the sidelines, quietly watching the players thank the fans for their support. After winning this critical game, Tang En did not feel relieved. Because he knew that he did not have the skills in the season, in the next seven rounds of the league, any opponent needed to make them do their best to ensure that they would not fall behind.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and the four strong teams all collided in the last seven league rounds.

If you win Everton, you will breathe a sigh of relief and think you can lie down and rest, then the Forests' results will end here.

Moyes was not too frustrated when shaking hands with Donne, considering this. Judging from the schedule, Everton, who is one more point than the Forest, still has an advantage. Their opponents in the last seven rounds of the league are definitely not as difficult as those of Forest.

Although Everton now ranks higher than the Forest, their strategy is no longer to try hard to get rid of their opponents. Instead, they play their own game and then wait quietly for the Forest to make a mistake.

Moyes doesn't believe that Don't make mistakes, these four opponents are too strong. Don't make mistakes! He will definitely make mistakes! He will definitely fail to withstand the pressure and collapse. At that time, he didn't need to exert force, and he could easily pull Nottingham Forest far away.

Not only can Tang En not breathe a sigh of relief, but he also has to tighten the string in his heart. But he can't show it, and no clue can make the players feel it.   The boys did a pretty job in this game, and he should praise and encourage them, instead of telling them nervously with a stern face: the difficult moment has just begun.

Tang En didn't know how other head coaches in the world did it - he actually had no formal training. His experience of becoming a head coach also seemed a bit "legendary". The so-called "legendary" actually means that his path is not so orthodox and is a wild path. Therefore, sometimes when he considers some issues, he is a habitual thinking not from the perspective of a professional football coach, but from other angles.

Tang En is used to holding all the pressure on his shoulders because he is the team's head coach, that is, the boss of a team. What do you do as the boss? It's not that I take the credit for me alone, and I have to respect me for good things. Instead, take the blame for my subordinates and wipe my butts. If someone bullies me, the person who stands in front of me must be the boss. No matter how bad my people are, it's not your turn to talk to you and others, and close the door of the locker room. How can I teach them a lesson and scold them? That's my business.

This may sound like a big shot in Hong Kong gangster movies, but that's what Tang En thought. He changed the football team to a club, and the head coach and the boss mean the same thing. It is precisely because he has been in contact with the team for a shorter time than other coaches that he uses his own idea to manage the team. What is the actual effect? ​​Very good. Nottingham Forest has not had a scandal with conclusive evidence so far, and there is no intensified conflict in the locker room. Why? It is because the team has such a ruffian "boss".

The way he manages the team is rarely seen before in English football. He can joke with any player at the training ground, no matter what jokes, vulgarity, vulgarity, vulgarity..., and the players can also joke with him, without sternly resisting people just because he is the head coach. The players have difficulties, even if it is a trouble that has nothing to do with the game or football, he will definitely solve it, instead of pretending not to know. When the Japanese media speaks loudly about their players, he is like scolding himself, and can't wait to jump out and give the media the most fierce counterattack.

Mourinho is very similar to Don Eun in this regard, but it is still different. Mourinho still has some sense of superiority. Don Eun does not, he does not have a sense of superiority.

The players of the Forest team finally thanked the fans and walked down the court one by one. When they walked past Tang En, Tang En smiled and patted their shoulders: "You're doing a pretty job, hurry up and take a shower and change clothes, be careful of a cold."
