champion godfather

Chapter 1037 Juan Yayun calmly finds the heart of the champion (ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month~)

Twain never thought that as long as he returned to the coaching bench of Nottingham Forest, even if he did nothing, the team's performance would be immediately improved, winning consecutive victories and finally regaining the league championship.Children can fantasize about such things in their minds to their heart's content, but he can only treat them as nonsense.

The current facts have proved his wisdom-although Nottingham Forest has won a few games today, there are still many problems that need to be solved.For example, restoring the team's arrogance was in front of Tang En's eyes, and it was imminent.

If a team does not have the confidence to win, there is no way to defeat a strong enemy.Some weak teams, when facing strong opponents, have the belief of not admitting defeat, which often allows them to create miracles and create classic battles where the weak win the strong.

At the beginning, Nottingham Forest rose to the top of English football as a newly promoted team, relying on that unstoppable drive.

At that time, Nottingham Forest hardly knew what "fear" was. Whether it was facing a strong domestic enemy or a European giant, there was only one thought - "win"!
now...

"For four seasons, you've been complaining about losing the title, losing the Champions League, and now you're about to lose the Europa League ... but I say it doesn't matter."

Dunn looked at the players who bowed their heads and said nothing.

"There is one thing that you will never get back if you don't get it back. Do you want to know what it is?"

Tang En patted his heart: "Put your hands here and feel your heartbeat. When I said that I want to beat Arsenal, is it beating faster?"

Some people really put their hands on it, and some people are a little confused and don't know what to do.

Tang En didn't expect that he would be able to enlighten everyone with a single speech, but he had to plant the seeds.Maybe it will bloom and bear fruit when it meets the right time.

"The game against Arsenal is an opportunity to prove that you are not dead. This time it is not for the outside media to watch, but for yourself!"

※ ※ ※

Arsene Wenger is 69 years old, and his goal is to retire after fulfilling his contract with the club, and there are still three years left in his contract with the club.That is to say, he will work until he is at least 72 years old.What is the biggest regret in his coaching career?That is, they have not won the European Champions Cup.

There was a season when he was very close to that trophy, but was blocked by a person in the final.

That person is now in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

"Long time no see, Professor."

At the press conference before the match, Dunn and Wenger met.Although one person has just finished his part, the other is just getting ready to appear.

"It's only half a year, Tony." Yes, since Tang En won the World Cup, he disappeared from people's sight.
Tang En shook his head, he didn't mean that.

"I mean, it's been a long time since I met you in this situation."

Tang En pointed to the press conference hall behind him, where the reporters were waiting for Wenger to come in.

Wenger understood immediately.As opponents, they really haven't seen each other for a long time.

"I heard your team is going to beat my team?" Wenger asked.

Tang En smiled: "If you don't even have the heart to win, it's even more impossible to win." He didn't just nod and said, it's better not to be so rampant in front of this old friend and old opponent.

In fact, the same is true of his mind.Whether he can beat Arsenal, to be honest, he has no idea.Although he has made a lot of tactical preparations, this Nottingham Forest team is not the one four years ago after all, and he has not [-]% control it.

The reason why he said he wants to win is just like what Tang En said to his subordinates - if you don't want to win, how can you play the game?

Wenger shrugged and didn't say much. The reporters were all waiting for him. Now is not a good time to chat.

He reached out his hand to shake hands with Twain, but unexpectedly Twain patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go first, Professor. I'll see you at the game tomorrow night."

Wenger watched Tang En's back disappear at the end of the aisle before turning around and entering the press conference hall.

As soon as the ass was seated, the reporter asked a question: "What do you think about Tony Twain saying that he will definitely win against Arsenal, Mr. Wenger?"

Wenger smiled.It's really a topical character that can't be thrown away anywhere.

"Of course I believe he has that ability." Wenger said "he", not "they".He played a little trick on the text, I don't know if anyone with a heart can see it. "But this is our home court."

That's right, it's Arsenal's home court, and Wenger won't give up the victory easily.

※ ※ ※

"Let's talk big, guys."

In the sports news later in the day, the news about Arsenal's home game against Nottingham Forest became the mainstream, and the footage of Twain and Wenger at the pre-match press conference appeared the most.Tang En's words: "Yes, I repeat, we will beat the home team at the Emirates Stadium" was also mentioned repeatedly.

In the last tactical lesson of the evening, after turning off the TV, Dunn said to his players.

"If we don't win, you and I will be the laughing stock of the whole of the UK. I don't want to be the laughing stock of the whole country because it would be too embarrassing."

Twain never said something like "In terms of strength, we deserve to beat Arsenal", so when he said it was a "big talk", no one expressed any objection.As long as anyone is sane, they know that it is very, very difficult to beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

But precisely because this was a big talk, the Forest team was forced to a dead end.

Because just like Tang En said - they were all driven to a dead end by this big talk.If you lose this game, then all the bad words will be overwhelming.

No one wants to be someone else's joke, to be talked about with disdain.

Let alone a professional player?

"Arsenal play as gorgeously and complexly as ever. They will certainly continue to play like that at home. This is our chance."

Tang En began to explain to the team in detail the tactics they will use in tomorrow's game. In fact, the players can generally guess it, because it is obvious to all that the team has been focusing on training for more than a week.For more than a week, the coaching staff has worked hard on the offensive training of set kicks.From this point, it should be possible to see what tactics the team will use at that time.

Losing the game with a beautiful and vigorous confrontation, and winning the game with a tenacious and conservative defense, Twain would definitely choose the latter.But the risk of the latter is that you may lose the game in the last minute if you keep it for 89 minutes. People laughed.When faced with such a situation, many people would choose to attack a strong enemy beautifully, and even if they lost the game, they would have an explanation.

But such an idea is indeed the most undesirable.Because before the game started, they had already found a way out for themselves and thought of an excuse after losing.How can this kind of team beat a strong enemy?No wonder some fish bellies are always fish bellies.Typical timidity before fighting.

What does it mean to die and survive?What does it mean to fight with one's back against the wall?If you don't put yourself in the situation of "absolutely can't lose", how can you burst out with powerful energy?

"...On the basis of a solid defense, we must seize every opportunity to score goals. We don't have to worry about possession of the ball, ugly scenes, and fewer shots. As long as we are more patient than them, Seize the set ball and make a fuss, the final victory must be us!"

"We practiced set-piece tactics for over a week and I hope to see them in the game."

※ ※ ※

Dunn indeed saw his team painstakingly rehearse the set-piece offensive tactics for more than a week during the game.Because his team actually took the lead.

As soon as Arsenal came up, they assumed the posture of the home team and bombarded around the Forest team's penalty area.They cooperated skillfully, moved flexibly, and passed accurately. The Forest team played together as a whole could only shrink their defense. Unfortunately, they were short of a center with a bit of impact. Although the small lineup was flexible, it was not enough to face the Forest team's iron wall.

Therefore, although the Forest team had an ugly scene, they never conceded a goal.It wasn't until the No.307 minute that the Forest team got a good chance to attack.Chen Jian got the ball in the frontcourt and was knocked down by Arsenal players. Nottingham Forest got a free kick on the right side of the frontcourt.

Bell took a free kick with his left foot to the back of the goal, and Aaron Mitchell nodded the ball back to ferry the ball back, and then George Wood, who followed up in the middle, rushed to the top ahead of the others, throwing the football in chaos The army went in.

Nottingham Forest took the lead in the away game when they did not have an advantage in terms of ball possession rate and number of shots.This surprised many people.

But what surprised them was still behind.In the last minute before the end of the first half, Nottingham Forest won another free kick in the same position on the other side.Still Bell biography.This time Arsenal's defenders paid attention to the defense in the middle, and at the same time did not relax their marking on Mitchell.But Nottingham Forest changed tactics.

The football is still directly penalized backwards.Mitchell and Forest's central defender Sacco were still pressing back, and the opposing two defenders followed them back. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the run, Sacco suddenly stopped the brakes and turned around, then ran towards the football Go, jump high without marking!

He headed a rebound and the football bounced off the ground in front of the Arsenal keeper, who made a misjudgment.Soccer hits the net!
"It's unbelievable!" The narrator cried while holding his head. "At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home court, Nottingham Forest ended the first half with a two-goal lead! Tony Twain's fierce pressing, defensive counterattack, and tactics of scoring with set kicks completely restrained Arsenal's technical flow. Law……"

Wenger obviously also realized that if he continued to fight like this, he would only lose more and more.Some targeted changes must be made.So at the beginning of the second half, he replaced a striker who was not good at footwork but had a stronger impact in front of the goal.

The Forest team also relaxed after leading by two goals in the first half.One ebb and flow, the second half allowed Arsenal to pull back a goal.

Next, Arsenal's morale was boosted, and they launched a wave of offensives amidst the cheers of the home fans.Seeing this, Tang En quickly adjusted. Instead of strengthening his defense, he stepped up his counterattack.

Sure enough, this change of trick was very effective.Afraid of Nottingham Forest's sharp and quick counterattack, Arsenal's offensive suddenly restrained.The field is rebalanced.

This score has been maintained until the end.Despite the last five or six minutes, Arsenal went all out again.However, the Forest team's counterattack is also very active, which makes Arsenal very uncomfortable when attacking. They have to face the impenetrable defense in the front, and they have to beware of the Forest team's quick counterattack in the back, which makes him feel "powerful and unable to use it". .

In this way, the Forest team achieved a key victory.

After this game, some media believed that Tony Twain's Nottingham Forest had regained its true colors as "Arsenal's nemesis".

Wenger also admitted in the post-match press conference that Forest's tactics restrained him.This made him very helpless.

As for the victor, Twain didn't take advantage of it and acted like a good boy. He said that he was able to beat Arsenal just because of his luck.

It is absolutely impossible to say that the 50-year-old Twain has not changed at all from the previous Twain.For example, if it were the 40-year-old Twain now, he would unceremoniously declare their victory as a matter of course.

After standing up and shaking hands with Wenger, Dunn left the press conference.The team was waiting for him on the bus, and unlike the press conference, he had another set of words to say to his teammates.

"Guys, you guys did a great job! We got three points away and moved up two places. But what makes me happier than that is that I see in your performances the desire to win, and never give up. The heart of a champion!" Tang En said to the players in the car from his heart.

"I hope this game can remind you that a champion's heart that always pursues victory is more important than anything else. Now I somewhat believe that we can return to Europe." Dunn pointed to his players and said , "Because you all want to win. And I..."

He pointed to himself again, "Like working with people who want to win. Nottingham Forest football is winning football, and so am I." He looked at everyone and laughed.

In fact, he is still very arrogant, but he has discarded those elements of showmanship, removed those sensational things, and revealed his gleaming fangs.He is actually more terrifying...

Does anyone not believe it?Arsenal is a lesson from the past.
