Chapter 125 Volume 2 The Skies of Nottingham The Sturdy Millwall (Part 1) (Continue to Receive the Monthly Pass, Thank You.)

When the Millwall fans in the stands saw the Forest players running out in a hurry, they burst into laughter. This set the tone for the game - this is definitely not a friendly match of hello, me, hello, but a real knockout match!

Besides...the relationship between Forest fans and Millwall fans has been tense since the Gavin incident. So Millwall fans were happy to laugh at Forest, who were nearly late.

Tang En came out from the corridor, stopped on the sidelines and looked around the stands. Large expanses of blue, interspersed with white. The red is squeezed in a corner, jumping tenaciously in the blue and white surround...that is the arm of the Forest team fans waving.

away game? laugh? You guys will laugh later... Tang En hummed in his heart, then walked towards the coach's bench. On the field, Dawson, as the captain, was guessing with the opposing captain in front of the referee.

Millwall's captain was Dennis Wise, the little man who had previously played at Wimbledon and Chelsea.

Wise is an English player who impressed Twain very much. Because a long time ago, about nine or nine years ago, Twain had been a Chelsea fan for several years. At that time, Chelsea was not yet known as the Ruble Army, with Zola, Vialli, Gullit, Poyet, Wise, De Hooyer, Flo... and many other stars, they played what Gullit called "sexy football" and competed for several seasons in the Premier League representing the blue power and the red power Arsenal and Manchester United .

The first jersey Twain bought was also Chelsea's blue jersey. He especially liked the lion on the Chelsea team logo. Later, with the departure of Gullit, Vialli, Flo and others, as Zola got older, Twain gradually transformed into a "fraternity" fan who did not have the most favorite team. But that blue memory remained in Tang En's memory ever since.

Wise, who was the captain of Chelsea back then, was a player Dunn liked very much. He liked his fierce style and his courage to confront Keane and Vieira.

When he was cheering for this little man with fists clenched in front of the TV, he never thought that one day, he would lead the team and become his opponent and enemy.

If his player was violently tackled by him, he would probably still scold his mother, and cheering would be out of the question.

Tang En shook his head, shaking the previous memories out of his head. I am Tony Twain, I am the head coach of Nottingham Forest, and I am Millwall's enemy and rival! Either you die or I die today!

Winning the League Cup and qualifying to participate in the UEFA Cup next season, this is the most feasible one selected by Tang En from countless short-term plans to improve the team's reputation and rebuild the team.

The FA Cup schedule is too long, and the possibility of encountering a strong team is also the highest. This path was first abandoned by Tang En. The League Cup is the cup that is least valued by Premier League teams among the three major cups. Many teams even use the League Cup as a place for their youth teams and reserve teams to warm up and find their status. Moreover, the schedule of the League Cup is very short. The two semi-finals of the League Cup this season are in January and the final is in February. In other words, Twain could concentrate on maintaining the team's state within these three months, and strive for the championship. Then go all out to qualify for the Premier League.

Tang En had a team building plan in mind, and a list of players to buy. Since he traveled to this world, he had advantages that others couldn't match—for example, he would know some players who would become talents in the future, but are still unknown. Another example is that he knows the right time to buy someone in the future, when to make a move with the least money and the highest profit.

If the Forest team continues to hang around in the First Division, then the possibility of getting those players is very slim. At the very least, they must let their team rank among the top 20 teams in the Premier League, or qualify for European competitions.

When he was a fan, Twain didn't pay much attention to the UEFA Cup, thinking that he was just a vassal of the Champions Cup. But now he has a deep understanding of the role of the UEFA Cup.

This is the first coordinate of Nottingham Forest's re-start on the road!

So in this game, no matter how bad the situation was - traffic jams, encountering opposing fans on the subway, playing against a tough team... none of these could stop Tang En's belief in winning.

A crisp whistle sounded, followed by a huge din, overwhelming Tang En.

Looking around the stadium, looking at those crazy fans in the stands. He knows that the league match with Crystal Palace is just a warm-up, and the real match will only start now!

Rebrov wanted to show off his individual skills in front of the Millwall players, but he just pushed the ball away when Wise knocked it out. The referee's whistle sounded, which immediately caused a burst of dissatisfied boos from the stands.

Looking at Wise, who was gnashing his teeth with a ferocious face, and listening to the endless boos and insults in the stands, Rebrov knew that today's game was far more difficult than he imagined.

Tang En, who saw this scene on the sidelines on the bench, said to himself: "Sturdy Wise, tough Millwall team, tough Millwall fans..." He is getting more and more serious now. I feel how bad it is that I can't arrange specific tactics for the team because I met opposing fans on the subway.

If football could be timed out like basketball, he'd change that now. Unfortunately, he can only wait until half-time, and then hope that the opponent did not score in the first half.

Defensive counterattack... Two defensive midfielders are the key. I hope Eugene Pope and Gunnarsson can hold it.

"Fifteen minutes to go! The game is going on at a hundred miles an hour, football whizzing over the players' heads. Millwall players led by their captain 'Roaring Rat' Dennis Wise Then they launched a frenzied press and attack against the Forest team, and any idea of ​​playing tricks was wiped out by the 'Double Lions' pressing like a wolf and a tiger!" Mortensen said this about the 15-minute game In a staged summary, what he said was not bad at all, and it was very vivid.

In the first half of the season, under the leadership of the new head coach Collymore who was a forward, the Forest team returned to the tradition of paying attention to controlling the scene and liking to play delicate cooperation. While tactical reasons played a very small part in Collymore's failed managerial career, they cannot be ignored.

He asked the players to cooperate more on the ground, even in front of the penalty area, they should try their best to pass the football into the goal area before shooting. At that time, the commentator commented on the Forest team's football-"Collymore hopes that his striker can pass the opponent's goalkeeper, and then face the empty goal and then shoot."

This style of play is beautiful, but it is too cumbersome and it is difficult to win the ball.

Millwall's head coach Alan McLeary (Alan` McLeary) specially formulated a tactic for the team to press the whole field in response to the characteristics of the Forest team. So far, he's been quite successful.

The aura shown by the Millwall players at the home stadium completely overwhelmed them. They changed to take the subway because of the traffic jam, and then ran into a group of fierce-looking fans. The exhausted Nottingham Forest player who was tossed and tossed by Mi hurriedly changed his equipment and appeared on the court three minutes before the start of the game.

Yes, this is the situation of the game now, and the Forest team is gradually losing the wind. It is almost impossible to say that the bad things encountered before the game have no impact on the team, but what can Twain do? This is luck. He only hopes that the team can survive this period of time. At halftime, he has enough time to adjust the team. He believes that there is no problem in defeating Millwall.

The whole point is that the Forest team must hold on to Millwall's current wave after wave of offensive.

The situation is not good, Gunnarsson and Eugene Pope are going crazy. Michael Dawson and Wes Morgan were also under a lot of pressure.

In Millwall's formation, apart from Dennis Wise, there was another person Twain knew before crossing - the Australian who wore the No. 4 jersey and appeared in the offensive midfielder position. Tim` Cahill.

Tang En knew him through the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Australia's wonderful last-minute reversal against Japan, Cahill scored two goals alone and became a hero. It was also from that game that Twain became a fan of Australia during the World Cup. Unfortunately, they lost to Italy in the end.

Today's Cahill is not as mature as in the World Cup, but his offensive ability is enough to give Tang En a headache.

Nottingham Forest managed to get a chance to counterattack. The ball just passed to the feet of David Johansen in front, but it was intercepted by Millwall's Australian central defender Kevin` Muscat with a fierce tackle. .

"Foul!" Tang En, who was sitting on the coach's bench, jumped up suddenly. This was a tackle from behind!

But the referee ignored his yelling, David Johnson fell to the ground in pain, and Muscat kicked the football to the captain Wise who came back to respond, and then Wise organized the attack.

"Bastard! You don't want to shovel anyone behind your back!" Tang En swore while waving his fists. But after the fourth official paid him a little attention, no one paid attention to his complaints.
