Chapter 222 Volume [-] Red Forest Records

One week after the Community Shield, the 04-05 English Premier League officially kicked off.
目前全英格兰都在关心的球队是阿森纳。他们距离那个尘封了25年的纪录只有两场联赛之遥了——从2003年5月7日，02-03赛季一场补赛主场6：1狂胜南安普顿开始，法国人温格的球队正在不断刷新着英格兰足球的各项纪录：普雷斯顿在1888-89赛季保持不败，尽管那时候一个赛季只有22场比赛，但在当时仍然是难以触及的成功；伯恩利在1920-21赛季连续三十场不败，他们只在联赛开始的时候输了三场，接下来重振士气的他们将不败战绩保持到了赛季结束，从而夺取了俱乐部历史上的首个联赛冠军；利兹联队，在1973-74赛季的29场连续不败；利物浦在1987-88赛季的连续29场不败。
新赛季开始的时候，阿森纳已经取得了连续四十轮联赛不败的骄人战绩。如今，还横在他们面前的只剩一项纪录：布莱恩•克劳夫所率领的诺丁汉森林在1977-78赛季至1978-79赛季间创造的连续42场联赛不败纪录！
As long as they win the two league rounds at the beginning of this season, Arsenal will tie this record.After that, without losing a game, they set a new record of unbeaten streak.
The current Arsenal state is very good. Even if they are going to challenge Everton away in the first round of the league, not many people will worry about it.
As expected, Arsenal beat Everton 4:1 in the away game, unbeaten in 41 consecutive games!
On the other side, Tony Twain's Forest team seemed to be in some trouble...

※ ※ ※
During the summer transfer period, Nottingham Forest made frequent moves. In the transfer market, they were on par with the rich Russian Chelsea.This made people look forward to Tang En's team, and the local media in Nottingham were also very optimistic about this new Forest team.
In the first round of the league, the Forest team challenged Blackburn away.Before the game, Twain put a lot of effort into researching their first opponent, the team, players, and coaches. He did research and analysis.He thought he was already familiar with Blackburn Rovers, so as usual, he led his team to the Ewood Park Stadium of the Blackburn Rovers with confidence.
After nine 10 minutes, the Forest team, which was full of hope for the new season before the game, lost 0:1 to the home team Blackburn.
Judging from the score, it is not bad for a newly promoted team to lose only one goal against a traditional Premier League team.But the process of the game is not like this at all, and the score cannot always faithfully reflect the gap between the two sides.
In this game, Tang En selected the 442 formation that had been practiced the most during training, and sent eleven people in the best condition in his opinion: the goalkeeper was Darren Ward, and the central defenders were respectively Hierro and Matthew E. Posen, the right back is the French teenager Chimbonda, whose performance in training has completely surpassed John Thompson.The left back is Leighton Barnes, who has been firmly in the main position in the second half of last season.The midfielders stand in parallel positions. There is no doubt that the Frenchman Frank Ribery is on the left, Ashley Young is on the right, and George Wood and Albertini are guarding the center.Partnering up front are Freddie Eastwood and Mark Viduka.
Also on the bench are goalkeeper Paul Gerrard, defenders Wes Morgan and Gerard Piqué, midfielder Chris Commons and striker Pete Crouch.
This lineup can already be regarded as the strongest lineup Twain can produce. In the pre-season training, it was also a stable starting lineup.Dunn didn't think it would be much worse than Blackburn.
But Blackburn, who was ranked No.15 in the league at the end of last season, taught the Forest team a good lesson: Don’t think that buying a lot of players in the summer can be regarded as a strong Premier League team. The Premier League and the British Championship are completely different. Two worlds!
Still playing in the Premier League with the mentality of playing in the English Championship (formerly League One), failure is inevitable.
The unsatisfactory performance of many newly promoted horses after promotion is not only due to insufficient investment in the transfer market, but also has a lot to do with their mentality.
Judging from the scene of the game, the problem of the Forest team lies in the transition from defense to offense. Albertini is obviously not very adapted to the fast and intense style of English football, and he is slow in controlling the rhythm.As for Wood...don't expect him to do anything other than defend for a while.
Twain was aware of these problems, so he made the two full-backs more active during the game, took more balls and broke through, trying to open the situation from the side.At the same time, he asked the two forwards to change positions frequently during the game, constantly pulling them out to go up, attracting the attention of Blackburn's defense, and creating space for teammates who broke through from the side.
The idea is very good. In the first ten minutes or so, the Forest team's wing did create a lot of trouble for Blackburn.But Blackburn's head coach, Mark Hughes, quickly discovered Dunn's intentions. The forest team's biggest threat came from the wing. Due to their staffing, their center could not directly threaten Blackburn's goal. .So he simply arranged the defensive heavy troops on the side. In this way, Ribery and Ashley Young failed to break through several times, and even couldn't turn around after getting the ball with their backs. Misfiring.
The Forest team's offense mainly relied on two flanks. Tang En saw that Ribery and Ashley Young were being marked to death by the opponent, and agreed to start the second-tier offensive system - the full-back's assists.Chimbonda and Leighton Barnes are both full-backs who like to assist and are good at assisting. In normal training, Twain also consciously asked the two full-backs to actively participate in assisting, which made the Forest team's offense more layered.
The backs of the two full-backs reactivated the Forest team's offense. The two sides came and went on the court, and the offensive and defensive transfers were very lively.But the helpless score was 0:0.In the second half, after Mark Hughes became familiar with all the forest team's offensive routines, he also found a way to completely paralyze the forest team's wing - he asked the team to strengthen the offensive on the wing, and the forest team launched a two-way attack Confront head-on, attack against attack, and replace defense with offense.Inexperienced and incoherent, the two wings of the Forest team were gradually pressed back by the opponent, and then... Blackburn scored.
When the home team's veteran defender Craig_Short (Craig_Short) took advantage of the corner kick to score the only goal of the game, Ewood Park was boiling. Blackburn made a good start, but Forest suffered a bitter fruit.
Despite losing the first round of the league, Twain did not treat the players angrily like he gave the impression.In the press conference after the game, he admitted that his team did not perform well, but that was because "you can't expect a German team that replaced nearly half of its main players in the summer to immediately play amazing cooperation. , and a smooth attack. I only lost one goal in the away game, and I am very satisfied."
That's right, Twain didn't lose his temper with the players after the game, the loss was in his plan.Even if he paid the tuition fee for his first Premier League season, and if nothing else, the tuition fee will have to continue to be paid from time to time.Nottingham Forest is not Arsenal, and Tony Twain is not Wenger. They are not interested in carrying forward the record set by their team 25 years ago.If you want to be undefeated in a row, please continue to be undefeated. If you want to win the championship, please work hard towards the championship trophy. Tang En's goal is simple: to stand firm in the Premier League and survive.
Instead of blaming players who performed poorly after a loss, think about what else the team didn't do well.He still has a week to improve in training with the coaching staff.
After the first round of matches, the media commented on the performance of each team, and the evaluation of the Forest team was "disappointing".They think that the Forest team, which spent 1000 to [-] million pounds in the summer and bought [-] players, did not play anything impressive at all, and the monotonous and unchanging wing attack made themselves into a dead end.
Tang En insisted that the direction of attacking from the side is correct, and only need to solve the specific details such as the coordination and running position of the side during the attack.At the same time, I look forward to Albertini adapting to the Premier League as soon as possible. Even if he only plays half of his peak level in AC Milan, it will be enough to revitalize the Forest team's midfielder.
Seven days later, on August 22, the City Stadium ushered in the first home game of the Forest team this season. It was also four years later that the stadium hosted the Premier League again. For many Forest fans, this is memorable day.
On the day of the game, the city stadium, which can only accommodate 7000 people, was full of seats. Although the fans were disappointed that the team lost the first round, they still firmly supported this young team.From the beginning of entering the arena, the singing in the stadium has never stopped.
When Twain was still a fan, he often watched La Liga, mainly the matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona.Seeing this scene, he also had to lament the difference in football culture between England and Spain.It is the dream of almost all coaches to be able to coach games in such an environment.
In this game, for the sake of those loyal fans, nothing can be lost!
