Chapter 34 The unique one

The atmospheres are very different from the two courts and four locker rooms.

In the locker room of the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal players were relaxing as they listened to the music. Everyone was excited to discuss how to celebrate the hard-won league championship after the game. Even Wenger didn't think the Forest could still create miracles, even though he just learned that Nottingham Forest was also leading 1:0 at home.

The state Manchester City showed in today's game did not surprise Wenger - there was no need for Manchester City to fight in this game. No one wants to be injured in the last round, right? Even if he knew that he was facing Arsenal, who was bound to win the league championship, and still gave his all, the injury would naturally be inevitable. It would be better to finish the game casually and go on vacation.

It's really good luck to meet such an opponent in the last round of the league. Look at the situation that Tony Donn encountered - a Sunderland who had to win the Forests before relegation.

In this situation, if Arsenal still cannot win the championship, Wenger really doesn't know what opportunity he can win the championship.

After two years, the league championship was regained from Nottingham Forest. Even if the Champions League was eliminated by them, there would be no regrets.

In the city stadium, Sunderland's locker room. Head coach Nelson was standing among the players, clenching his fists to deliver a passionate speech to them: "It's just a ball! Arsenal has already led two goals. The Forests must have known the news during the break. What does this mean for them? It means that their league championship has flew away! Their morale and confidence will be greatly affected. This is our opportunity... beat them and let us stay in the super!"

The players' eyes lit up by his words.  The boss didn't say what he said. Nottingham Forest will definitely be affected, and it will be his own chance.   Just catch one or two counterattacks... In order to stay in the Super League, I will fight for these forty-five minutes!

If you don’t fight at this time, when will you have to wait?

Arsenal's locker room is exciting and relaxed, while Sunderland's locker room is full of restlessness and hope. The Nottingham Forest is like the weather before the rainstorm.

All the players chased the coaches of the coaching staff and teammates on the bench to ask about the situation at another stadium. They heard two huge boos from the stands during the game, and they wanted to confirm whether this meant that Arsenal had a two-goal lead.

The answer is the same. Both the coaches and teammates told them the cruel facts with helpless eyes and nods.

For a moment, everyone fell silent and sat in the locker room. They didn't know what to say or do, so they could only mechanically wipe the sweat from their bodies.

Don Eun has been in the locker room and he doesn't say anything.

In fact, at this time, the players of the Forest team were all looking forward to the head saying something, even if it was a curse. Otherwise, they would have been silent. It would be too uncomfortable...

Bell opened his mouth and stopped talking. He turned around and looked around. He found that everyone was habitually lowering his head. He suddenly hated this action.

Do we just want to admit defeat like this? Even the people who have always been arrogant and unruly have agreed to this result?

This uncomfortable silence lasted for a full five minutes.

Brazilian samba music is played in the locker room. Manchester City clubs, which are mostly Brazilian players, are becoming more and more like a Brazilian team. Robinho, Ellano, Joe, Alex... These players from Brazil are twisting their waists in the locker room at this time, as if they are celebrating another carnival this year.

Some people are following and making excuses, and everyone's mind is no longer on the competition.

Only Bentner felt pain because the Samba music seemed to be a continuation of the laughter of Arsenal fans, and it always echoed in his ears. He felt his head was about to explode. He hated such a locker room atmosphere. He would rather everyone sit upright, and then head coach McLaren kicked the door and scolded them all.

He may feel more comfortable if he yells about "What kind of shit you played in the first half".

He covered his sweat-wiping towel over his head, leaned against the wall of the cabinet, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down.

Unfortunately, the noisy and fast-paced music made his efforts futile, and all kinds of strange thoughts emerged from his mind with the music.

Do you still have to continue playing like this in the second half?

Can I apply to my boss to be replaced in advance? Well... I guess it won't work? Then I'll find a chance to get two yellow cards, or hurt myself... Anyway, I don't want to play anymore.

What kind of game is this? We have lost our fighting spirit before the game. Is it a very proud and proud thing to watch others lift the championship trophy in front of us? Are these people who are still dancing in the locker room ashamed of the score in front of us? Do they hope to fail? Are we not playing football for victory and championship?

Bentner raised his head slightly and looked through the towel. He saw Ashley Young watching Robinho and others performing next to him, with a smile on his face. The smile looked very cold. At this moment, he suddenly envied Ashley Young because... he was finally relieved.

This thought came to Bentner's mind.

The embarrassing silence in the locker room lasted for five minutes, and Tony Don finally stood up from his seat. As he moved, everyone's eyes were on him.

"Everyone knows the situation in another arena. I won't introduce it. Is this result so depressing that you are very upset? We worked hard to lead our opponents in the first half. Arsenal easily led by two goals? I have to admit that this result is very unfavorable to us, and I have no way to ask you to compete for the championship. Because the fate of the championship is not in our hands." Tang En spread his hands.

"Now all we can do is play our own game. Forget the championship for the time being." Tang En said this, glanced at the players and found that everyone's reaction was not strong. He laughed, "Did I say this to you feel discouraged? Do you think I will stand up and wave my fists and shout loudly that victory belongs to us. Is it right?"

The players did not answer, but judging from their expressions, Tang En guessed it was almost the same.

"I just hope you put down your burden. I have been thinking about this issue just now. If we continue to bear the heavy expectations of the championship, we might lose to Sunderland in the second half... Don't show such unbelievable eyes." Don't point to several players and said, "You are full of Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal... You don't even know who our opponent is in this game, right? Newcastle? Tottenham Hotspur? Or... Real Madrid? Guys, when you look at the target in the distance, pay a little attention to your feet. If you tripped by a small stone, you will become the laughing stock of everyone. At that time, Arsenal not only won the league championship, but they can also laugh at our incompetence at will!"

"Yes, we are one point behind Arsenal at the moment. Arsenal is very easy to lead, which is also a fact. But this should not be a reason for us to give up on ourselves. Play the game against Sunderland and don't give our opponents any opportunity to take advantage of. Next..." Tang En paused at this point, what would he say next? Pray to God to God to the championship belongs to us? Are you waiting for the favor of the goddess of destiny?

"No.  " Don En shook his head.      Even if the whole world is not optimistic about us, we must be optimistic about ourselves.   Arsenal cannot declare victory and the championship belongs to them until the last second of this game! Similarly, you cannot declare that it will end! I tell you, I have not given up yet.   I have never given up! I have always believed that my team is the best team in the world and deserves all honors.   Someone is worried about me, if I lose the league championship, how can I eat the table?

I tell you... I have never considered this issue. Because I firmly believe that I will not lose!" Tang En waved his fists hard, and his tone suddenly became passionate. "If you don't have the same mentality as me, you will not be able to laugh at the end of this fierce competition! At any time, it is better to believe in yourself than to believe in others! I have said before, do you still remember who your opponent is in this game? I tell you, it's Sunderland! It's the unlucky guy who is destined to be relegated! Crush them to me!"

If he stuffed an apple into Tang En's hand at this time, he might be able to crush it directly.

Nelson was setting up the second half tactics for the team, and he was confident that he had found the loopholes in Nottingham Forest.

"They have an imbalanced mentality. One goal lead is not safe for Don Eun. This is Tony Don Eun's habit. He will definitely ask the team to press the attack. Then it will be our chance... In the first half, the forest team assisted on both sides very actively, and the second half will only be more active than the first half. Everyone says that Tony Don Eun is conservative, but he is a crazy person in his bones. He can continue to press the attack in the second half for victory. So I ask you to intercept the ball and launch a counterattack immediately, kick forward with big feet, and you can enter the penalty area once. That's all!"

The tactical board told him to draw a mess. He kept saying it, but a few of the players heard it clearly. He didn't have time to care. He had a thought in his mind now: I don't have much time, I have to let them all know what to do in the second half!

"Continue to press the whole game and continue to use foul tactics... Of course, the foul location is far away from our penalty area. Don't be afraid of losing your energy. I'll emphasize again - this is the last game of the season. If you don't fight, this is also your last game in the Premier League. Even if you run and cramp, you have to run for me! If you can't continue to create pressure on them, you are the ones who are unlucky!"

"Don't be afraid of mistakes. If you lose the ball, you will be robbed on the spot. You are a little more aggressive, and they will be afraid! Think about what mentality the Forest team is now? Their championship is gone!" Nelson also repeated the last sentence three times.

Nelson may not be an excellent tactician, otherwise Sunderland would not have fallen to this point - the consortium behind the Irishman Quinn is still somewhat financially powerful. But he is not an excellent orator, but under this special offer, what he said is quite inciting. Sunderland's players are red in their eyes and are ready to have a big fight in the second half.

Overturn the arrogant Nottingham Forest, break their dream of winning the championship, and keep yourself in the Super League. This season is perfect.

Samba music finally disappeared, but Ben Turner didn't feel that his torment was over. Because McLaren was arranging the tactics for the second half...

Robinho sat in the position and was still shaking his head gently, as if the music had not disappeared. He had been replaced. At the beginning of the second half, the main forward was replaced. He was the team's young forward. Jack Reed, who was only 20 years old, has only played five times in the league for the team this season, all of which are substitutes.

McLaren is already training new players for the team.

As the team's number one scorer, Bentner is still valued and will continue to play in the second half.

Bentner really didn't know whether this was a good or a bad thing for him. When McLaren announced that Jack Reed would replace Robinho, he secretly glanced at Ashley Young and found that the latter was also aiming at him, but what could not be hidden in his eyes was sympathy.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind:

The people who came out of Nottingham Forest are always out of place with the surrounding environment. Because that person is so unique, the team he brought out is so unique, and the people who came out of that team are naturally unique.

If Nottingham Forest encountered such a situation, maybe that person would scold everyone in the locker room. He could not tolerate failure, and he could not tolerate such failure without fighting spirit. It was very tiring to play football under him, really tiring, just like being driven forward by a mace all day, and he couldn't stop.

But one day they were allowed to stop and rest and take a breath, and suddenly looked up and found that they had already run to the top of the mountains. At that time, they could finally straighten their tired bodies, breathe a sigh of relief, and take a good look at the environment they are in.
