Chapter 31 Before the tick whistle sounds

The last game of the sixth round of the 2008-2009 English Football Premier League kicked off on time at 3 o'clock local time in the afternoon.

At lunch time, fans from all over the world have already poured into the city stadium on the Trent River.

Those who come early don’t have to worry about having nothing to do when they come.  On the game day stadium is a huge football theme park, with people eating, drinking, playing football by the river, selling small commodities, traveling and sightseeing... There are all kinds of people, so don’t be afraid that they won’t find fun here.

The city stadium on home game day was bustling like a "bull market" more than a hundred years ago. Although the "bull market" is still there, the bustling crowds of people from all over the countryside more than a hundred years ago was comparable to the fan enthusiasm of fans following the team.

Manchester City fans were the earliest group of people. Most of them were in groups, wearing light blue jerseys, holding light blue Manchester City flags, and waving light blue scarves. They gathered together to make a lot of noise.

But compared with these guests, the hosts are a little loose.                                                        �

Although the two teams have been somewhat hostile to each other recently, for most fans, this does not affect them chatting together. Of course, they support each other. Manchester City fans excitedly announced that Manchester City will win two goals in this game, while Nottingham Forest fans shook their heads to deny his statement, claiming that Nottingham Forest will definitely win two goals.

Then, the two gangs gathered together to have a drink and continued to talk to each other.

After two o'clock, more and more media came to the stadium. Before the team appeared, the fans gathered here became the focus of their attention. The reporters who had not started working were watching the fun, while others were busy interviewing the fans. Prepare for first-hand materials.

At 2:15, Fatty John and the Skinny Bill appeared outside the stadium carrying tied white banners, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

They carried the white cloth rolls on the floor to attract everyone's attention.

"Hey, fat man. What do you have to carry this thing?" A middle-aged man came forward to say hello.

"Good thing." John, who was carrying the thing, smiled with a crooked neck.

The banner is very long. Last night when he was displayed in the bar, there was a piece of land hanging between him and Bill on the ground. Now it is completely pulled open and rolled up, folded it in half, and tied it up with a rope, asking the four strong men to carry it.

"Don't be mysterious, just say it, what's inside?"

"You will know during the game, and now you will be bored if you say it. And..." John pointed to the reporters and TV media who were wandering nearby. "We want to give Manchester City a big land!"

The man stopped following and watched John and his group enter the stadium from the wicket gate. They were asked to open the inspection with such a big guy. John came forward and called the other party over, then opened a corner, and mysteriously let the other party take a look.

I saw that man laughing happily and waved his hand to let go.

It seems that there will be a view on the stands later...

At 2:30.   It was very punctual, and the buses of the two teams drove into the dedicated parking area outside the city stadium.    When passing by the fans, they were all warmly welcomed.

Ashley Young has a year of experience and has no special feeling about returning to Nottingham Forest to play at home. Bentner is different. He initially treated the fans wearing red jerseys outside as his supporters. Just as he raised his hand to wave it, he saw several fans pouting their mouths - to boo him. He realized that blue is his color now.

What will fans who once cheered for his goals now use to greet themselves?

Bentner was not depressed by the attitude of those fans. On the contrary, he was looking forward to the upcoming game even more. Even if the whole game kept booing him, he had to prove with practical actions that Tony. Tang En did not pay attention to him at the beginning, which was such a serious mistake!

In the words of Caesar, that is—

I'm here. I see, I'm conquering, I'm leaving, you guys will regret it!

Well... Has Caesar said the last sentence? But that doesn't matter. What matters is that I have conquered you.

When Ashley Young saw Bentner distracted, he touched him: "What are you thinking? Are you worried about how they treat you?" He pointed out the window. "Don't be afraid, just shush, it's the same for the first time I came here. Later, I thought about it and it was just that... When we played football in the Forests, were there still fewer booing by fans of other teams?"

Bentner shook his head and said, "No, I'm not worried that they're booing me."

"Then you are..."

"I'm fantasizing about what I will perform after a competition."

"You are such a weird person!"

"Boss...Don't Tang En always keeps sayings? The booing and insulting of the enemy are the best praise and recognition of you. I think I understand the meaning of his words now." Bentner pointed to the people wearing red jerseys outside and said. "They are all my enemies."

Ashley and Yang were stunned. When he first came to the city stadium to visit, he was so scared that he could not perform at all and was replaced early. He was really not used to this sudden change in roles. Unexpectedly, Ben Turner had already completed this role exchange, and he acted like a loyal veteran who had played for Manchester City for twenty years... He wanted to be amazed.

It's so big that everyone has...

The first one was Manchester City's bus. After they all entered the locker room, Nottingham Forest's car drove as if it had been calculated.

In the parking lot, Tang En jumped out of the car first, facing the microphones with a serious look on his face and the rush of cheers and reporters flocked to him.

"I have nothing to say, this is just an ordinary league game."

Someone among the reporters whispered to him. Only fools would believe this person's words.

The players who got off the bus then had no intention of accepting interviews with reporters, and they lowered their heads and ran into the dedicated passage quickly.

The fans of the forest team gathered together. They shouted the slogan "Nottingham Forest will win". The atmosphere on the scene was very hot, and it didn't look like a "ordinary league" at all.

After all the players left, Tang En waved to the reporters who were still waiting: "See you after the game is over. Everyone. If I am in a good mood, I can answer any of your questions."

Fatty John and the others have already stood in their own stands and are preparing for the upcoming game. The tied banner was thrown at their feet and no one has paid attention to it for the time being.

Players from both sides are warming up on the court. There have been sporadic booing, and the target is naturally Bon Turner, who is wearing a vest with the Manchester City logo printed on it.

Judging from his performance, he didn't care and did his own warm-up.

After following Tang En for four years, he has told him about his rich experience in external struggles. Facing those who boast, if you are really furious, you will lose.

So at this moment, his heart is as calm as water.

When can we explode and vent this suffocation? After he scored the goal in the game, he would call those people who booed him beautifully.

You have to... pay the price!

"Look at how that kid looks like he is alright, I feel uncomfortable when I see it!" Bill in the stands pointed at Bentner and said unhappy.

John glanced at him and laughed: "When he was still there, you can be the happiest thing when he scored. "What do you say, 'The future of Nottingham Forest depends on him'."

Bill's expression was uncomfortable: "It was because he had high expectations for him that he could not tolerate his betrayal!"

John stretched: "I don't feel anything about him leaving the Forest. Anyway, there are people who always leave and come to see some people every summer. I've been tired of seeing them for decades. So what about the talented players? No one can guarantee that they can tie them here for a lifetime. Just leave. Anyway, I think as long as there is Tony, that bastard. No one will die if he walks in Nottingham Forest." Then he pressed his hands on the railings and looked down at the court below. "What I'm not happy about is that he shouldn't say 's scoring at least two goals against the Forest.' What he thought he was? What was Nottingham Forest's defense?"

"Actually, I think Tony's lungs must be blown up now."

"I think so. How could he tolerate others being so arrogant?"

"No, he is arrogant."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"This game. I'll wait and see what's good."

In the locker room, after Don repeated yesterday's tactics again, Don En appeared.

"Pepe." He called the main central defender's name.

Pepe stood up, a little confused.

"I forgot something yesterday." Tang En raised his index finger with his left hand. He pointed to explaining his response to Bentner to Pepe and other defenders.

"I really believe in my team's defensive ability. You are the best defense line in Europe. But..." He pointed to the team's captain. "George."

Wood also stood up.

"If you let Manchester City score two goals in this game, all the players in charge of defense will run back to Wilford from here!"

Someone changed his face, but Wood nodded calmly: "Okay."

Pepe shrugged even more: "What if they didn't get a single ball into it?"

"You guys will have an extra half day holiday tomorrow."

Pepe looked at the other defenders and snapped his fingers: "No problem!"

"If you have no problem, come out. Give them some colors!"

"Welcome to watch the last game of the sixth round of the English Premier League season in 2008 to 2009! The two sides are the home team Nottingham Forest and the visiting Manchester City. Before the game, this game attracted widespread attention, and naturally it was because of Tony Donne. Almost all August, Donne was entangled with Manchester City. For this reason, he lost the young center Ben Turner who he valued very much at the last moment before the transfer window closed. This game is also the first time that Ben Turner returned to the city stadium as an opponent. What will be waiting for him? Hope it is not the pig head and lighter... Maybe Hughes can take this opportunity to take a good look at Ben Turner's psychological quality."

"The Danes made a vow to score at least two goals before the game. It also added a very big highlight to this game. We all know that Nottingham Forest's defense is famous in the Premier League. The past two seasons. Tony Don't's team relied on indestructible defense to win two consecutive European Champions League titles and last season's Premier League title. They rarely have they scored two goals by their opponents in a game. Not to mention being scored two goals by the same person. Although Tony Don said he believes Bentner can do it, I am sure that one thing - that is, Don't be very angry. "

"This game can be regarded as a revenge of the young men who were expelled from Wilford by Tony Donne. Ashley Young and Bentner both started in this game. Hughes obviously also hopes that the forest players who are familiar with Tony Donne's tactical thinking can become a sharp blade to kill Donne. But the effect is not easy to say. I still remember Manchester City's visit to the City Stadium last season. Ashley Young's poor performance. I wonder if he has made progress after a year?"

"Mark Hughes once angrily criticized Tony Donne in the transfer incident between Van Nistruei and Bentner. This junior of him is an absolute clown and an insatiable annoying person. Tony Donne will definitely hope to use this game to refute Hughes."

"Will the Manchester City club, which lost a big point in the blank check gate incident, use this game to win back what they lost?"

"It's hard to say... no matter who wins and loses in this game, there will always be people who feel angry and disappointed. So our dear media have a lot to do. Martin, before the game, this game is in line with the characteristics of everything that has become a classic battle. As for the game itself, we will know it right away."

The old partner of Sky TV appeared in the live commentary seat at the city stadium again.

Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.

One is wise and calm, the other is passionate and humorous. These two are Sky TV’s signature sports commentary partners.

Martin Taylor is even seen as representing the voice of the UK. The two of them came to broadcast the game and saw how much Sky TV attaches importance to this game.

As the two said, there are so many wonderful stories and highlights. How could this game be unfavorable?

Players on both sides have already appeared and all the ceremonies to be held before the game have been completed. Nottingham Forest has obtained the right to pick the side and serve the right to Manchester City.

Bentner stood in the middle circle in the center of the stadium, with Robinho standing next to him. He stepped on the football and waited for the referee to whistle.

The game has not started yet. The overwhelming booing sound has already sounded, pointing to Bentner alone. Just because... he touched the ball.

Robinho was a little puzzled by this sudden booing, and he glanced at Bentner.

Regardless of whether Robinho could understand his words, Bentner smiled and said, "The fans here... are the ones who have the most love and hate."

After hearing this booing, even Martin Taylor, who was in charge of the commentary on the game, smiled: "Bentner has received the warmest greetings from the Nottingham Forest fans. I hope he is still used to it."

"He will definitely get used to it. If he still wants to score at least two goals alone."

Amid the booing, Bentner did not take his foot off the football. He raised his head high and looked at the goal ahead, where his former teammate Van der Sar stood. There were many former teammates wearing red jerseys on the road from here to Van der Sar, and now they all have to defeat the enemy.

As I said before, step on their bodies and make yourself successful.

Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the Forest team coach's seat on the sidelines.

Tony Tangen wrapped his hands around his chest. He sat on the chair in the coach's seat with his legs crossed, as if he was also looking at himself.

——Then you can use your own trick to win the championship!

As you wish, start with this game.
Chapter completed!
