Chapter 255 The Red Forest (Part 2)

During the intermission, the players heard the long-lost roar again. Angry at the team's performance, Tang En spit at them with a red neck:

"When it was 3:1, you must be thinking in your heart: What are you afraid of? We are still two goals ahead! At 3:2, are you also thinking in your heart: What are you afraid of? We are still one goal ahead! If in the second half we It's 3-3 with them, how are you going to feel? Is it my mistake or yours? It's a UEFA Cup qualifier, not a fucking warm-up match! Set my mind right and be serious! If we If you lose to such a team, then when you go back, prepare a rope each and hang yourself on the beam!"

It's a bit harsh, but otherwise, how can you make those heartless little bastards feel the crisis? After winning a game against Chelsea, he was so elated that he didn't know his last name. How could he have the demeanor of a strong team?

The Forest team in the second half was really different from the performance in the first half. In terms of the strength comparison between the two sides, Nottingham Forest is definitely stronger than Ostrafa. Even if the home field factor is added, the Forest team has no reason to stumble here.

The home team Ostrafa, who tied the total score at 2:3, seemed to see hope of entering the UEFA Cup. At the beginning of the second half, they launched a stormy attack on Forest's goal. But this time, their offense was not so easy to enter the Forest team's penalty area. Wood and Albertini erected an impenetrable wall in front of the central defenders. Especially Wood, he and Albertini's positions are not completely parallel, but slightly misaligned. Albertini is forward, and Wood is a little behind. From this position, the division of labor between the two of them can also be seen.

Albertini not only had to attack, but was also responsible for organizing the attack. And Wood only needs to intercept the opponent's attack behind Albertini. For George Wood, who is improving rapidly, this is not a difficult task.

The Czechs quickly discovered that the England team they could pinch freely in the first half was completely different. Their offense could not get in at all, and their defense was still precarious...

In the 68th minute, Niklas Bendtner, who started the game because of scoring a goal against Chelsea, scored his second goal of the season. This time it was not a header, but After breaking through the opponent's defender single-handedly, he scored with an angry shot.

The Forest team extended the total score to 4:2, but this obviously still did not satisfy Tang En. He continued to roar off the court to let the players score, score, and score more goals.

Then Crouch, who replaced Eastwood, satisfied Dunn's request. He used an unconventional header to widen the score gap to 5:3. With two away goals, the total score was 5:3. With 20 minutes left in the game, the Forest team had already secured their place in the UEFA Cup.

Next, Ostrafa lost his fighting spirit, and Twain also began to change players frequently, giving those players who rarely get the chance to play a familiar feeling of the game.

Ashley Young was replaced by Aaron Lennon and Ribery by Chris Commons.

After the game ended, the score of 2:2 remained unchanged, and Nottingham Forest successfully won the UEFA Cup ticket.

But Tang En didn't forget to rush onto the field to celebrate the victory. For him, entering the UEFA Cup is just the first step in a long journey. At this time, he is so complacent, how can he tell his players to stay calm?

So when the game was over, he turned directly to the home team coach's bench and offered to shake hands.

"Congratulations, the team with the better performance won the UEFA Cup ticket." Despite the loss, the opponent's head coach still politely congratulated Tang En.

"Thank you. In fact, your performance is also very good. It's just that we have better luck." Tang En said polite words that he didn't even believe, with a modest smile on his face. But after saying goodbye to the opponent, he turned around and looked at the players who were still exchanging jerseys with their opponents, clenched his fists and waved them vigorously in front of his chest.

League Cup! Although it is not as high-profile as the Champions Cup, it is still a European competition, and there will be many opportunities to meet strong European teams. Fighting against these strong players is what Tang En looks forward to the most.

champion?

My head is not dizzy yet. What are Nottingham Forest's goals in Europe this season? It just made those European powers fall on their backs!

Europe, here we come.

This time it's real.

The news that the Forest team has successfully entered the UEFA Cup has attracted more attention from the English media, because after all, this is another old team returning to people's attention. However, most media are cautious about Nottingham Forest's UEFA Cup prospects. They think that the Forest team, which has been absent from European competitions for a long time, can no longer keep up with the rhythm. They also brought up the painful memory of the Forest team losing to Bayern Munich with a total score of 7:2 in the UEFA Cup quarter-finals in the 1995-96 season. , to support their view that they are not optimistic about the Forest team.

Regarding these doubts, Tang En chose to fight back in the column, but he did not write any long articles to refute them point by point. The latest issue of Tang En's column has attracted the attention of many people because of his title and text.

The headline is: The UEFA Cup is only the first step to the Champions League throne.

The full text of the content has only two words: such as the title.

The contract signed by Tang En and the Evening Post stipulated that his manuscript fee would be calculated according to the number of words, so Tang En actually did not get a penny for this manuscript, but it quadrupled the sales of the Evening Post, and all readers rushed After reading that arrogant column article, they could almost see Tang En looking up at everyone who said these words with his head held high.

Even Lineker mentioned this matter in his internet column the next day, thinking that Tang En's simple "like the title" was the perfect counterattack, and it wouldn't work if he said one more sentence.

Everyone was talking about this article, and everyone was talking about Tony Twain. He might be the first head coach who led a newly promoted team but declared that he wanted to win the Champions Cup.

Mourinho is crazy because he has won the UEFA Cup, won the Champions League, and led Porto to win the Portuguese Triple Crown. He has the right to be crazy.

What about Tang En? What else does he have besides a tasteless League Cup winner? It's really eye-opening that people with nothing can be so arrogant.

More and more people are interested in the youngest coach in the Premier League.

When the Forest team practiced on the second day, there were more media around the training base than ever before, which shocked the chairman Evan Dougherty who drove to the base.

After parking the car in the parking lot, he saw Tang En who had just gotten rid of the entanglement of the reporters and walked outside, so he quickly stopped him: "Tony, what's going on?" He pointed to the door.

Tang En smiled and said, "Evan, don't you ever read newspapers?"

"Of course, but what does it have to do with this...Ah! I know!" Evan Dalgety clapped his hands and laughed, "Is it that 'RuTi'? It feels very good, I like it very much!"

"Do you think I did this on purpose to refute those media?" Tang En asked.

Evan shrugged: "I don't know that."

"Evan, do you still remember the future we planned with Allen in the Indian restaurant?" Tang En glanced at the clear sky.

Evan nodded with a smile: "Of course I remember, how could I forget?"

"It's getting closer and closer." Dunn said with certainty.
