Chapter 237 Red Forest Victory
Chapter 237 Red Forest Victory
If the Premier League is divided into factions according to Chinese habits, then Tony Twain and Stuart Pierce are obviously in the same trench.Because they are all the descendants and apprentices of Brian Clough, and belong to the "Clough faction".
Stuart Pierce is a well-known tough guy in English football. He even got such a nickname because of his tough style and character - "Madman". This nickname has accompanied him almost throughout his career.The English media once described him as having the "heart of an oak tree", which is known for its hard wood.
Why was Pierce mentioned in the game against Manchester City?
Although the current head coach of Manchester City is still Kevin Keegan, Twain knows in his heart that after this year, Keegan will be dismissed from get out of class, and the person who will take over this position will be his assistant coach, Stuart, Keegan's most important T. Pierce.And not only Tang En paid attention to this person, but the local media in Nottingham also paid attention to him.
Because Pierce was, and still is, the God of Nottingham Forest fans.Played for the Forest team for 12 years, played 520 times twice, and scored 88 goals. As a left back, this statistic is terrifying.
Tony Twain has no one in the current Forest team who can achieve Pierce's current status and influence in the hearts of Forest team fans. This is achieved through time and loyalty.When the Forest team fell into the first division in 1992, other players including Keane left the team, but Pierce stayed. At that time, Manchester United and other powerful players hoped to recruit him, but he refused. With these invitations, the legendary captain led the Forest team back to the Premier League after a season.This story is comparable to Batistuta's experience in Florence, but in the world, Pierce's reputation is not as good as Batistuta's.
Twain met Pierce with him at Burns' bar in the first half of the year, at the reception celebrating Forest's 25th anniversary of winning the European Champions Cup. No deep talk.Even though he didn't have much contact with him, Dunn could roughly understand what kind of person Pierce was.Even when drinking and chatting, this person's eyes are very firm, rarely wavering.If he talks to you, he looks at you instead of glancing at the ceiling and down at his toes.
I don't have much contact with him, but Tang En has a good impression of this person, perhaps because of his sincere attitude.
This game is not the first time that Pierce has returned to the City Stadium after leaving the Forest Team. When he was still a player at Manchester City, Manchester City was relegated to the First Division (now the British Championship). He once visited the City Stadium and challenged the same relegation Nottingham Forest.Before the game started, Pierce stood on the sidelines and bowed to the Forest fans in the stands. After the game started, he still defended the Forest players ruthlessly, but he received the most applause from the home fans.
Four years later, Pierce once again set foot on the turf of the City Stadium, but this time he has taken off his jersey and put on a suit.
The game hadn't even started yet. Players from both sides were taking pictures on the sidelines. Twain stood in front of the coach's bench and watched as the reporters gathered at the visiting team's coach's bench. Their focus was on only one person, not the head coach Kevin Keegan, but Sitting next to him was Stuart Pierce.
Forest fans in the stands unfurled a giant sign saying, "Welcome home, madman!"
This is the highest treatment an opponent can enjoy.
Tang En was completely attracted by such a scene.He didn't know if he would stay in the forest team for the rest of his life, maybe not... Who can say what will happen in the future?If I leave this team and then return to this stadium as an opponent, can I see such a slogan-"Welcome home, Tony"?
It doesn't look like this is a league that anyone wants to win, but rather a memorial game for someone to go home.
Cheers erupted from the stands, they shouted Pierce's name.In the face of such enthusiastic Forest fans, Pierce also had to walk out of Manchester City's coaching bench, walked to the stands where the Forest fans were most concentrated, bowed and waved to them, and then he got even bigger cheers and applause .
Even Twain's supporters like Fat John and Thin Bill stood in the front row of the crowd, applauding Pierce with tears in their eyes.Seeing this man reminds them of the old days, when they played football and drank happily with Michael, when they were still very young.No husband's responsibility, no need to worry about football hooligans hurting their own children...
Pierce walked from the visiting team's bench to the home team's bench, waving to the fans.Like the fans, there are also his most precious memories here. He didn't expect that he would get such a welcome when he came back again, and there were tears in his eyes.This is a rare moment of warmth before the game.
After greeting the fans, Pierce turned around and saw Twain standing beside him. He walked over and extended his hand to Twain.After all, the two of them had a little friendship, and Tang En didn't refuse the other party's request to shake hands.
Just shook hands, no one said a word.After shaking hands, Pierce turned around and returned to Manchester City's coaching bench, and sat down next to Keegan.Dunn saw Keegan turn his head and say something to Pierce, but he couldn't hear him.
The interaction between Pierce and the fans can be regarded as an episode before the game. When the game officially starts, the Forest fans will not give them applause just because Manchester City is Pierce's retired team.Forest fans are just like Tony Twain, they love and hate very clearly!

Manchester City is a famous team in China that is no less famous than the traditional Premier League giants. Although many Chinese fans do not know the past and current situation of this club, it does not prevent everyone from being familiar with its name, because Chinese player Sun Jihai Play on this team.
Tang En has a little understanding of this team, and it is also related to Sun Jihai.Of course, after coming here, he learned more. This time, it was not out of interest, but because work required him to know more about his future opponent.
Old habits, knowing a team starts with their head coach.Kevin Keegan, if evaluated by Twain's standards, is not considered a successful coach.Perhaps Newcastle fans would not agree with Twain's evaluation, and other people who liked Keegan would not agree, but Twain insisted.What is a "success coach"?Can a manager who can't lead his team to glory be considered successful?
In addition to this coach with a familiar name, there are still a few players in the Manchester City team that Twain is familiar with—forward Robbie Fowler (Robbie_Fowler) who started the game, right forward Sean Wright-Philip Shaun_Wright-Phillips, England's main defender in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Danny Mills (Danny_Mills), also a member of the England national team in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, later became famous as one of the eight Premier League rape cases Trevor_Sinclair (Trevor_Sinclair), England goalkeeper David James (David_James), Steve McManaman (Steve_Manaman) who played for Liverpool and Real Madrid, former French international, and also played for many giants. Nicolas Anelka... Look at these names, just saying them can scare a lot of people.
Of course, there is also Sun Jihai, the Chinese player Tang En is most familiar with. He is also in the Manchester City team's starting list.
Since the beginning of this season, Manchester City has only achieved one win, one draw and two losses. For the Manchester City team with players with the above scary names, ranking tenth is not a ranking that can be readily accepted.News rumors that the club is already ready to move, intending to find the former Southampton coach Strachan to replace Keegan.Although Tang En knew that Keegan resigned voluntarily in April of the following year, he could not deny that if he won Manchester City, it would be the last straw that broke the camel's back...
The poor defense of Manchester City last season made them suffer, so since the beginning of this season, Keegan has been committed to transforming the defense. Dunn and Distin are the key figures, but the performance of these two people is up and down. , is not stable at all.
Sun Jihai's defensive performance did not seem to be as good as his offensive performance. Coupled with the fact that the main midfielder Button was injured and missed the game, all bad things happened.
Tang En has carefully studied the current Manchester City team, and the defense is still the team's biggest loophole.Needless to say in terms of offense, Alneka has scored three goals in the four rounds of the league. Sean Wright-Phillips firmly occupies the position of the team's main right midfielder. The little man with no future has already attracted the attention of countless wealthy families.In addition to the experienced "God" Fowler, McMulaman, who partnered with Fowler in Liverpool, such an attacking lineup, at least in terms of reputation, completely overwhelmed the Forest team.
After the battle against Arsenal in the last round, Twain believed that the current Premier League teams would pay more attention to the Forest team, and Keegan would probably not underestimate this opponent at the Forest team's home court.The heart of underestimating the enemy will definitely be put away a lot.
Tang En's tactic was to restrain Anelka and Fowler while defending, and then use his side attack to suppress Wright Phillips and McMaraman.Goals will be the key word in this game. Since Coach Keegan cares so much about Manchester City's poor defense, Twain made him more determined in transforming the defense...
