Chapter 226: Volume 3: Red Forest, This Is My Team (Part 2)
After saying this to Wood, Dunn turned around and watched the other players in the room spread their hands: "Guys, please remember, this is a Premier League, home game. We must win the game that we should win , if you don't want to roll back to the Championship after one season. So this game we will not let the north Londoners get what they want. And I hope you also know that no matter what we think of this game, Arsenal will take this game Incorporating their own plans—it’s their celebration of a new record. It’s not my style to have the enemy celebrate their success on our turf.” He shrugged. I have told you all, and I believe that each of you knows what you should do."
Everyone nodded, expressing that they really knew their responsibilities on the field at that time.
Tang En propped his hands on the table where the tactical board was placed, and stared at the players. Some of them were even older than him... He never doubted that his ability could not lead the team, even after finding After the original "Tony Twain", he was not worried that his position would be taken away.
This is all his own team. He wants to instill his philosophy, his understanding of football, his obsession with victory, his aversion to failure, his greed for championships... all into this team. Let this Nottingham Forest imprint his personal stamp, just like the old man Clough, people will mention him when they mention the Red Forest that once swept Europe and English football.
I hope that in a few years, people will also mention Tony Twain and his Nottingham Forest in this way.
"Guys, please remember one thing: Nottingham Forest is not afraid of any opponent, whether it is the Liverpool team that won three European titles in the past five years, or this Arsenal team that has gone 42 consecutive league games unbeaten ... go and kill them !"

Cesc Fabregas is standing among the visiting team waiting to enter the field, beside him is the home team Nottingham Forest. I don’t know if this young Spanish guy who has just come to the UK for less than a year has memorized the 20 teams in the Premier League, but I believe that the name "Nottingham Forest" will be the most memorable in his playing career.
When he quickly became the main core of the Arsenal youth team, it was Nottingham Forest who pulled him from the cloud of happiness into the quagmire, telling him that English football is not as easy to deal with as he imagined. He will remember that youth team FA Cup game on a muddy field and in heavy rain for a lifetime.
There is another person, I am afraid it is not so easy to forget.
Although the Forest team had his Spanish compatriot Hierro in the starting lineup of this game, Fabregas' eyes did not stop on him, and he didn't even have the heart to say hello to the senior. He stood in the middle of the team, staring closely at the Forest player standing obliquely in front of him.
The man was wearing a red Forest jersey with his number and name printed on the back: 13, G.Wood.
After that defeat, he made a wish in his heart-one day, he must compete with the player named "Wood". I didn't expect this day to come so soon. In less than a year, they played against each other for the second time. The difference is that this time it is not a low-level event like the FA Youth Cup, but in the Premier League, the highest level league in England!
Cesc Fabregas was not surprised at all to see the "old enemy" in the Forest team's starting lineup. Because after that fight, he knew that this silent kid was definitely not mediocre. In this "underdog", young people are more likely to stand out. Didn't Piqué tell him? Choosing the Forest team is aimed at getting more playing opportunities and getting more exercise, otherwise why doesn't he go to Manchester United and Arsenal?
By the way, Herald is still on the substitute list. This kid has already become the main player... George Wood, how much better are you than last time?
Staring at Wood in a daze, Fabregas suddenly heard someone calling his name in Spanish, he froze for a moment, and then realized.
Hierro from the Forest team is greeting him with a smile. Being able to meet the Spaniard here is also a kind of fate, not to mention that they were still sworn enemies from the domestic league?
"What are you looking at? Cesc." Hierro followed the gaze that Fabregas had not had time to look back, and then found his teammate in front of him - George Wood. He smiled knowingly. After the schedule was arranged to play against Arsenal in the third round of the league, Wes Morgan told them how George Wood managed to freeze Cesc Fabregas all by himself." story", so he somewhat understands some of the grievances between these two young people.
Although Real Madrid and Barcelona are mortal enemies in Spain, they are both Spaniards, and Hierro still knows some young Barcelona players, such as Francesc Fabregas in front of him. It is said that he was once regarded as the successor of Guardiola and Harvey. Even if he has never seen Fabregas play football, Guardiola always knows very well. If the young man in front of him is really that good, then what should George Wood who can successfully freeze him be called? Human successor?
In order not to embarrass Fabregas, Hierro cleverly changed the subject: "Are you looking for Piqué? He is not in the starting lineup."
Fabregas nodded: "It's a pity, I found out too."
Now that they are no longer playing for their old club, even if they are opponents, they don't feel so tense. Hierro also joked: "Look, you are from Barcelona and I am from Real Madrid. But in Spain we We haven't played against each other. We're still rivals here..."
Mentioning those two teams, Fabregas also laughed: "But I booed you, brother Hierro...in the stands."
There were always hot scenes in the "Game of the Century" with Hierro in the past. This Spanish iron guard wearing a white jersey on the field will mercilessly overthrow any Barcelona player who dares to break through in front of him. For this he has received The boos were perhaps the most. But that is already a memory of several years ago.
"Haha, what a coincidence. Piqué also told me what you said..."
The two stood chatting in the player tunnel, and it seemed that there was no atmosphere of a big battle. On the contrary, George Wood kept standing upright, staring at the exit in front of him, and was not at all interested in the conversations happening around him.
Hierro is a veteran who has experienced such important occasions countless times, and he knows how to adjust his psychology and state. As for Wood, as long as it was Tony Twain, he would obey it.
Coach Twain said: Arsenal is our enemy! We are going to beat them!
Wood will regard the people around him as enemies, refuse to communicate with them, and be full of thoughts of defeating them.
It looks a bit brainy, but I have to say that Tang En just likes his brain.
The three referees standing at the front of the line looked back at the two teams and signaled to them that it was time to go out. Immediately Hierro nodded to Fabregas and terminated the chat between them, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant. The atmosphere of that crucial game returned to this tunnel in an instant.
There was no more noise or whispering.
"Let's welcome the teams Arsenal and Forest -!" shouted the loudspeaker from the stadium outside.
"Okay, let's go!"
"It's time to play!"
The captains of both sides roared loudly and took the lead to walk out.
Cheers roared from the stands, hitting everyone's high faces.
