Chapter 289: Volume 3: Red Forest Derby (Part 2)

As an outsider, Tang En didn't know much about the grievances between these two teams for nearly a century and a half. He preferred to immediately turn this confrontation into Notts County's jealousy of Nottingham Forest's achievements. After all, the Forest team had won They have won the highest honor of European clubs twice, and have been in the first group in the domestic league for a long time. They have won more honors than Notts County.

In Nottingham, Notts County has always represented the lower class people, black and white jerseys, club finances that have never gotten rid of the economic crisis, and playing in low-level leagues... These are very in line with the image of those down-and-out miners. Just like the two teams in the Spanish capital Madrid-Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Nottingham Forest represents the rich middle class in Nottingham, and Notts County is the spiritual support of the poor and the poor.

Once football is sublimated to the level of class struggle, then the hot scenes during the game are completely conceivable and understandable to Twain...

Facts proved his conjecture.

The tickets for the competition had already been sold out, not to mention buying on the same day, even if you came two days in advance, there were no tickets. When Notts County reached the third round of the FA Cup and were scheduled to meet Nottingham Forest according to the schedule, all the tickets were sold out.

For Notts County, it doesn't matter whether they can finally win the FA Cup. Even if they lose to a team worse than them in the next round, there is nothing to complain about-provided this They have to beat Nottingham Forest in this game.

As for Nottingham Forest, their obsession with this game was not strong. If it wasn't for the consideration of the fans, Twain would have wanted to use a combination of the youth team and the reserve team. Few of these Nottingham Forest players have a deep hatred for Notts County. Most of them are "migrant workers". They really have no interest in this kind of derby where the two teams are not at the same level of strength.

The pre-match preparations were as usual, and the players didn't care about their opponents. For them, the league is more important, and the UEFA Cup is more important.

As a result, five minutes into the game, Notts County gave the Forest team a big blow, and they hit the goal post with a long shot!

When it comes to the enthusiasm for the "derby", England fans rank among the top three fans in the world. At the beginning of the game, as long as Notts County had the ball, there was a booing at the City Stadium, but now there are two seconds of silence in the stands of the stadium. For the current Forest fans, the victory in this game is a matter of course, and there will be no accidents.

As a result, Notts County's first shot almost scored a goal for the Forest team, and they were a little unresponsive.

Newcastle played at home in the last round of the league with black and white swords. At that time, the fans regarded that game as a rehearsal and rehearsal for today's game.

But that trick doesn't seem to be working for Notts County.

In the first half, Notts County did not lose at all, and they were on par with the Forest team. Their players were not as strong as the Forest team, and their overall strength was not as good as the Forest team, but they were obviously more fighting than the Forest team players. More willing to run, willing to fight. This hard work makes up for their various disadvantages.

0:0 in the first half, the two sides played a boring battle for 45 minutes. There was no technical content, but it was very effective for Notts County.

During the break, Tang En warned his subordinates not to regard this game as an ordinary match against a low-level league team. I believe he does not need to introduce the meaning of "derby". They must face up to their opponents, especially their rivals in the same city...

The Forest players who returned to the court with the idea of ​​​​"this is a very important game, we have to go all out" are not something that Notts County can resist.

At the beginning of the second half, Notts County persisted for less than ten minutes, and the goal finally lost.

Albertini took a direct free kick from 28 meters outside the penalty area, which went beautifully into the Notts County goal. The goal ignited the city stadium and knocked down the invisible wall between the two teams.

More often in football games, it is still necessary to rely on strength to speak. Spirit can control a certain moment, but it cannot control all games. Notts County is not reconciled to failure, but the strength gap between them and the current Forest team is too great.

When they fell behind by one goal, they were still struggling to counterattack and planned to equalize the score.

But five minutes later, the relentless Forest scored another goal. Ribery finally scored his first goal in the Forest team - in terms of his ability, this goal came a bit late. The price is that his assists rank first in the Forest team.

Facing Notts County players whose strength was obviously weaker than his own, Ribéry staged a good show of passing five passes and six players on the wing. The football is shot into the opponent's goal.

The difference between 2:0 and 1:0 is not just a ball difference, and then Notts County collapsed.

Tang En has been standing on the sidelines since the start of the second half. The players of the Forest team thought it was the coach supervising the game, so they would not dare to slack off. As a result, when the 90-minute game ended, the score on the electronic scoreboard was fixed at 6:0. A fierce derby finally turned into a one-sided massacre. Twain was the biggest "behind the scenes hero".

Looking at the middle fingers raised by the Notts County fans in the stands, Twain knew that during his coaching period of the Forest team, the conflict between the two teams would intensify. Maybe we won't have the chance to meet on the court again, but this 6:0 is enough for them to remember for a lifetime...

He shrugged, shook his head and smiled, turned and walked towards the press conference.

It feels good to be hated by the enemy.

"...we played a very good game and I'm proud of my players' performance. They didn't underestimate the opponent because they were weaker. Our performance was in the spirit of sports. I believe, the fans of Notts County I will also agree with this point, and they will not have any regrets when they are defeated by an opponent who is going all out..."

"Shit! Who likes to be beaten by you?!" A Notts County fan cursed angrily and threw the "Nottingham Evening Post" on the ground. "We'd rather you send the youth team up to lose to us!" He looked at the head coach of the Forest team, Tony Twain, who was smiling happily in the newspaper, and stepped on it. Afterwards, it wasn't enough, and he spit again. It happened to spit on Tang En's face...
