Chapter 194: Role Model (Part 1)

Anelka's goal made both coaches smash their fists on the sidelines. It was just Nottingham Forest's head coach Tony; Don was excited to smash, while Villarreal head coach Pellegrini was angry.

With fifteen minutes left before the game, Nottingham Forest led two goals at home, and this game can basically be claimed.

Villarreal just adjusted his tactics and was ready to defend, but he was scored a goal, which was a heavy blow to their morale. Even if they wanted to get a goal back, they probably wouldn't have that chance.

Another person who is angry about losing the ball is Riquelme. Although he rarely reveals his expression directly on his face, anyone can see the unwillingness from his now-blocked face.

If the head coach insisted on attacking, maybe they would have equalized the game before the Forests scored the second goal, and the situation on the court would be different at that time.

Now, I gave up the attack and gave up the power to win. This retribution comes so quickly.

The game has ended early.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the score displayed on the electronic scoreboard made Forest fans cheer. 2:0! A brilliant home victory.

This is the first Champions League victory that the City Stadium has won twenty-four years later, laying a solid foundation for the Forest to enter the Champions League main match.

Pellegrini thought the Forests performed better than their team at a post-match press conference, and they were right to win.

The Chilean hurriedly left with the team, while the Forest stayed in the square outside the stadium to receive cheers from all the fans.

Twenty-seven thousand people gathered from the city stadium to outside. They blocked the Forest Team's bus and sang the Forest Team's songs over and over again.

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

Looking at the red outside the car, it felt as if the Forest team had already won the Champions League. But this was just a qualifying match win...

The Nottingham Foresters have been eager for the Champions League for too long. In the hearts of many people, they may have forgotten that the team they support was once a strong team that participated in the Champions League, and once a strong team that won the cup twice in a row.

Now Tang En lets them feel it again, or feel such happiness for the first time.

They don’t have to stand in front of the TV to watch the Champions League performances of other teams. They can look forward to their own team’s Champions League, talk about their team’s performances in the just-concluded Champions League game, and go to the scene in person to watch the Champions League game at the city stadium and cheer for their team.

Think farther away. They can follow their team's footsteps, set foot on the European continent, and show off their power at the stadiums of those giant teams.

A little further away... Maybe we can step onto the European Champions League final again?

Who said it was impossible? When Nottingham Forest just advanced from the second division to the first division, who would have thought that Brian would be able to lead the Forest to win the European Champions League one year later and defend the Champions League two years later?

Things are done by people. Two years ago, when Forests were struggling in the bottom four in the English Championship, who would have thought that today they could beat Villarreal at home in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers?

David; Chris Lack was lying on the car window like a child. Looking at the red ocean outside, a happy smile appeared on his face. This was the first time he had seen such a scene since he entered Nottingham Forest Club.

"Isn't it good? There will be such scenes in the future." Tang En, who was sitting next to him, laughed.

The next day, the media in Nottingham were occupied by yesterday's games, newspapers, television stations, radio, streets and alleys... talked about that game everywhere.

Nicklas scored goals; Bentner's popularity soared. Even Anelka has received support and acceptance from fans. Nothing can please them better than scoring goals in games that fans think are the most important.

Of course, the fans were still discussing the game with great interest, but they won such a wonderful game. The players of the Forest team did not get even half a day of rest.

It's not head coach Tony; Don Eun is ruthless, but because the curtain of the new Premier League season has slowly opened.

The Premier League is the first game with the beginning, the last, and the most intensive schedule among the five major European leagues. There is no winter break yet. In the words of Tang Endi, it is "inhumanity and tragic," which is a double torture for the players' physical and psychological torture.

When the family reunites on Christmas or goes out for vacation, they are having fun. The Premier League players have to play double games and three games a week. In the cold winter, the chance of injury is greatly increased."

On August 10, Nottingham Forest won the match against Villarreal in the first leg of the European Champions League qualifying match, giving the 2005-06 season a good start. As far as the club's senior management.

From players and ordinary fans, they can welcome the first round of the Premier League three days later with a relaxed and pleasant mood.

August 13th. The English Premier League in the 2005-06 season kicked off in full swing, with Chelsea fighting the newly promoted Sunderland away.

Nottingham Forest will welcome another promoted team at home, and was previously the media became the "Notingham Forest's second" place in Wigan Athletics.

This nickname was given by Wigan Athletics during the English Championship.

Because the style and some characteristics of this team are very similar to that of the Forest team, for example, they emphasize the full-game press, the rapid assault on both sides, the unyielding spirit of losing, and the simple and unpretentious style of blue-collar workers, all of which made people vaguely see Nottingham Forest, who successfully advanced to the Premier League in half a season in the English Championship.

After Tang En learned about this, he felt a little amused.

Of course he knew how deeply it had left for the first Premier League season in Wigan. If the media knew the future, they would definitely be complacent about the nickname they gave in advance.

In fact, Wigan Athletics' first Premier League season was as eye-catching as the Forests last season, but their final ranking was not that high.

From this perspective, it is true that it is called "Nottingham Forest No. 2".

Tang En felt amused and laughed at that he had become someone else's role model.

In an interview before the game, Wigan Athletics performed very low-key. Their head coach Paul and Jewell admitted frankly that his team was able to be promoted to the Premier League. He learned a lot from Tony and Done, and Done's Forest team gave him a lot of inspiration.

This confirms the title of "Nottingham Forest No. 2".

Finally, Jewell also said: "... Of course we still remember the outstanding performance of the new team Nottingham Forest in the Premier League last season. They were impressive. I think Tony; Coach Donn is the best of England's local coach Zhong... No, I'm not a touting... Wigan Athletics' goal this season is to relegate, but I hope the team can still be called "Nottingham Forest No. 2" by the end of the league, but this time it's not because of the style of playing, but the results.

”

Hearing these words, Tang En felt it was quite mysterious. His time traveling became a role model for the head coach who actually exists in this world.

So he wanted to laugh very much. This kind of laughter is not proud, but absurd. But he couldn't laugh because this matter itself was not happy.

The era when Sky Radio monopoly on Premier League broadcasting is about to end. Europe recently forced Sky TV to allocate part of the Premier League broadcasting rights they monopoly to BBC public TV channels and other TV stations. This season's Premier League is a trial period for purchasing new broadcasting rights, and BBC and Independent TV stations have obtained some of the Premier League games.

Although this will cause economic losses to most small clubs, for Forest fans, what makes them happy is that the commentator John Mortson is back.

Nottingham Forest's home match against Wigan Athletics was the first Premier League match broadcast by BBC TV. Naturally, their ace commentators John, Motson, Alan, and Hansen were also commented.

However, after twenty minutes of the game, Motson did not say a few good things to the long-lost Forest team.

"Now, I really want to replay what Coach Jewell said in an interview before the game." Motson's style is that he is not stingy with praise when he praises, and his tone is so sarcastic when he criticizes.

"Forest fans must be starting to doubt now. What is the motivation for Jewell to say that? I think it is more likely to confuse Forest. Tony; is Coach Don angry at this time?"

Alan; Hansen, who was next to him, interjected and asked, "Why did he feel angry?"

"Because he was fooled!" Motson burst into laughter. He knew Tang En, so he said that. Tang En must have a feeling of being deceived. With Tang En's personality, it is impossible not to get angry.

At this moment, Tony, sitting on the coach's seat; Donne was indeed very angry, but the more the reason was not because of Jewell's words, but because of his team's poor performance.

This is too big a contrast!

Three days ago, on the same stadium, Forest team won Villarreal cleanly, and the scene after the victory of that game remains in the memories of Forest team players and fans.

Three days later, the Forest team is now facing Wigan Athletic's iron barrel formation and quick counterattack.
