Chapter 99 The end of the season
Chapter 99 The season ends
Lennon's performance still failed to impress himself because he gained too little playing time.
After the game, Donn and Lennon met.
Facing his mentor, Lennon poured out all the bitterness.
He was asked by Mourinho because Mourinho has a strong "windback complex", but after Zora came up, he was not optimistic about Lennon, the injured Englishman. If he could not play for a long time, he would not be able to guarantee his condition. Then, even if Donnon was in Milan, he would not see Lennon's best performance.
Don En also told Lennon seriously that if he still wants to go to Spain, he must work hard to get a chance to play. If he really can't get such an opportunity in Inter Milan, then it's better to choose to loan or transfer.
If someone else said this to him, then Lennon would rather die than admit his failure in Italy. But facing Don En, the former leader, he could only nod and accept this suggestion. He seriously considered whether he would waste his years in Inter Milan.
Perhaps English players are really not suitable to play football in Italy. Not only Italy, but other countries are the same. After England players left the country, there are only a handful of people who have achieved success. Although the media always advocated them as one of the best stars in the world, this reality proves that at least his adaptability is not very good.
Let’s think about the only major international championship that the England team has won so far. The 1966 World Cup championship was held in the UK. Perhaps even the national team is the same. If you leave England, you don’t know how to play football.
Don Eun wants to break this fate, not because he has a surging patriotic passion in his body, but because he wants to prove that he is a truly outstanding head coach who can lead such a bad team in England to win the championship.
Lennon did not surprise Tang En. But Tang En's former assistant coach made him look at him with admiration.
Donn spent Christmas with his assistant Des Walker on the plane. But he didn't feel depressed, because Nottingham Forest's performance made him very energetic and there was a lot of topics of conversation with Walker.
Not only Donn and Walker talked about the new head coach of Nottingham Forest during the trip. Now media across England are paying attention to him.
When he took over the Forests and became the transitional head coach of the team, no one was optimistic about his future in this club. Someone even heard of his complete name for the first time... There is no way, who made Tony Don't shine before? Being with him is like a star hidden behind the brilliant sun, even if it is a first-class star. As long as he gets close to the sun, humans cannot observe its existence with their naked eyes.
It was such a man who led the exhausted Nottingham Forest to win three straight wins in the most compact devil schedule for Christmas!
Moreover, the opponent they defeated was not the bottom of the fish, but the strong enemy in the middle and upper reaches.
The man who looked inconspicuous pulled the Forest team out of the quagmire that continued to slide, washed away the dirt on his body, re-calibrated the direction, and took big steps forward.
Even Don En admitted in a conversation with Walker that Chris Lack's performance was beyond his expectations. His most optimistic colleagues were Chinese Don. Unexpectedly, Chris Lack had grown up so much silently on the side.
He was always idle when directing the game, standing on the sidelines and whistling constantly, making gestures. He looked like a passionate person, but he seemed very modest when he was interviewed. He believed that winning streak was the credit of the players, and he just reawakened the players' desire for victory.
To be honest, this Forest team lost interest in victory after many triple-winning champions and after too many twists and turns. For these people, as club players, they have won all the honors they can get. So what reason should they continue to run forward desperately like before? They are already on the top of the world, where else do they have to go?
If Tang En is still there, he will tell them that although they are already on the top of the world, to fight forever, they need to constantly defeat the challengers who climbed from below and lift them off the peak. There are many challengers like ants, and they cannot kill them. So they cannot stop for a moment.
But Flores only wanted to get rid of the influence of Don En and reshape the glory. This reason is too unconvincing. Everyone is already brilliant enough, with golden light shining all over his body. If every champion had a ring, they now need to use their toes to put all the rings on... Why do they still have to fight to reshape the glory with you?
As an outsider, Flores was at a loss in the Nottingham Forest locker room, and he would never really get into the core of this team.
But Chris Lark is different. He can arouse the players' desire for victory. It is because he is a Forester himself and is more likely to gain the trust of the players. He is familiar with these players. He knows what they want. They may not want to reshape their glory, but they want to maintain this glory. No one wants to be the treble champion last season, and he will not even be able to participate in the League Cup next game.
Chris Lack said it right in an interview. The main framework of this team is still there, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
While watching the game elsewhere, Tang En was also asked by reporters about how the Forest team's recent performance was like this.
Although he used to be very generous to the Forest team, his former assistant has now become the acting head coach of the Forest team and performed quite well. Don Eun wants to praise Quarkris Lack.
"He did a great job. I hope he can work for a long time, not just as an 'acting head coach'. He has the ability to lead the Forest out of the predicament... That's what I think. David is a humble person, and good results are the best reward for him..." Of course, Tang En did not forget his current identity. In order not to make people feel that he is too naked for the Forest team, he added: "I am also very happy that Forest team internationals can play in a stable environment. This will help them stay in shape."
Despite his words, the media still know that among all Premier League teams, Donutingham Forest is the most concerned. He has known from the fact that he went to watch the Forest team's games on site many times...
This man is nepotism. If what he does can bring honor to England, then that's fine. If England fails in the European Cup, he will be the target of public criticism, and the England internationals from Nottingham Forest are buried with him.
It's really hard to guess. �
Will it be prosperous and both prosperous and both rich and lose?
What a crazy idea.
The significance of Christmas and New Year to Tang En is getting weaker and weaker. Anyway, I work every day, so I work more during these two holidays. Xianya is not around. It’s not interesting to have a holiday or not. It’s better to use crazy work to dilute the loneliness brought by this longing.
Time passed quickly. When Tang En finally established a three-dimensional and complete information about the Premier League in his mind, it was already June 2015.
During this period, the national team played three more games, one friendly match against Israel. Two European Cup qualifiers.
England all achieved complete victories.
3:0 home wins Israel.
2:0 away win against Ireland.
4:0 home win over Armenia, the weakest in the group city.
Tony Donne England has not lost a single game since its inception. The halo of "triple crown" and "champion godfather" on his head is shining, making the media feel much less disgusted because of his arrogance.
This is the reality in the world of football. If you have grades, you are a god. If you don’t have grades, you don’t even count people.
Of course, some people disagree with this. Mr. Carl Spike, a staunch opponent of Tony Don, questioning the achievements that he has made in his program.
"Macedonia, Armenia, Australia, Ireland, Israel and Wales are not considered strong teams, they all have to be included in the "weak team". Serbia and Denmark, which are considered strong by Donn, seem to be the case in my opinion. We draw very well in the qualifiers. Although this group has the most competitions among all groups, our opponents are very weak. Isn't it normal to win the game easily in the face of a weak team? Why are there so many people cheering for Donn? If he can't even win such a team, then he should be on the front page. If I want me to say, I'll blow Tony now. Donn will lead the England team to glory. I'll talk about it when he meets a real strong team..."
What is a real strong team?
"...At least it is France, Spain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina...a team like that..."
June is a harvest season, and major leagues are coming to an end. Clubs who have worked hard for a season should already know their final destiny at this time. Those who are striving to win the championship and hope to enter next season's European competitions, and are fighting for survival to survive... June is the month of verdict.
In the past, Tang En was often the most psychological pressure, the busiest and most tired. Now he can hold his hands in the stands and sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. The league championship, cup championship, and relegation quota that countless people compete for are not worth mentioning now. He appreciates the climax of each season's drama with the mood of watching the show.
David Chris Lark has proved that he can become an excellent head coach. Nottingham Forest did not win the league under his leadership. But he returned to the European Champions League. Think about the summer before the season. What the Forests are doing is already an amazing result.
Ranked fourth in the league. The European champions last season this summer need to fight for the qualification of the Champions League. But no one thinks this is an insult to them, and local media in Nottingham are grateful for the result.
The turbulent Forest team experienced an unforgettable season. They changed coaches in the middle. Both the FA Cup and the League Cup were eliminated early, and the league was once ranked outside the top ten. After barely reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League, they were eliminated. In this case, Chris Lark can still lead the team to fourth place in the league, which is enough to prove his ability.
It is said that Evan Dogerty is already considering giving Chris Lark a long-term contract. In Donn's opinion, this is the only correct decision he made after a season of confusion.
Chris Lark does not have a prominent past record and reputation to support him, but as a family member of Nottingham Forest, he needs to use these false names to manage the locker room. He has his own method. He can easily get along with most players. They are familiar with each other and there are no obstacles in communication.
For Evan Dogerty, Chris Lark is also a very suitable candidate. Now he must regret why such an outstanding talent is under his nose but he didn't notice it? He always turned his eyes to the distance, of course, he would not care about the stones under his feet, so it was natural to be tripped and chewed.
Chris Lack is not the kind of head coach with endless unique personalities. He will not always contradict his boss, even if his boss is furious at him. Look at how he serves Tony Donn, and you can know what his temper is. "Good man" Chris Lack will naturally not interfere with the club chairman, which is his greatest advantage. He loves the Forests more than Tony Donn, and even if he is treated unfairly, he will not quit like Donn. It is said that Donn once wanted to poach him to be an assistant coach in England, but he refused. Such a head coach who is loyal and obedient and can lead the team to win is hard to find a lantern.
The chairman has recovered his confidence after experiencing setbacks - fans of Nottingham Forest will forget the name of Tony Donne if they have another season. 11 years ago he used Manchester United as his role model. Now his idea can no longer keep up with the times. His new idol is the chairman of the club of Real Madrid, who can cover up the sky with one hand and is known as the "Godfather of Real Madrid".
In Evan's eyes, being the club chairman can only be considered successful if he is the one who is the club.
Now he has long forgotten the cold eyes and insults he suffered at the Bernabeu a year ago. Because even if he lost the Champions League at his doorstep, Real Madrid is still the most influential team in the world. Their various transfer news can always easily seize the front page of major media. It attracts the attention of fans from all over the world. They will set off storms wherever they go, becoming the target of thousands of people, and can make a country crazy.
Such influence is the realm of Evan Dogette's dream.
When Donn left the Forest, Evan Dogerty once reflected on why his team won so many championships, but his influence around the world was not as good as Arsenal. In the end, he thought it was Tony Donn that the team had few world superstars, because the biggest star was himself. How could he allow others to grab his own glory? Whenever Evan hoped that the team would buy one or two influential stars in the transfer market, Donn always said that his team structure was very perfect. Those superstars did not need to come in to destroy the team's locker room atmosphere. Now that I think about it, how many opportunities did he lose...
Seeing Real Madrid crazy "grabbing" money in Asia, Evan Dogerty can only sigh. What if they can't win the championship? They are rich and powerful!
The Forest finally found their new captain. Manchester United regained the lost league championship for many years under Mourinho's leadership. Mourinho is also using his results to prove that he is not the Tony. Done is a coach who can bring championships to the team.
The European Champions League also came to an end in Milan, Italy. Real Madrid, who lost to Nottingham Forest last season, finally defeated the Serie A giant Juventus at the San Siro Stadium, winning the tenth European Champions League in their history.
For this Champions League, Real Madrid people waited for thirteen years, from "nine" to "ten", and they also completed the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change. The ten champions in the European Champions League have accomplished unprecedented achievements.
