Chapter 365 Volume [-] Red Forest Champion Cup Grouping
Due to the conflict between the second round of the Champions League qualifying match with Villarreal and the third round of the Premier League, Nottingham Forest's third round of the league was postponed to December [-]th. With six points in total, they are ranked in the first group.

Due to the right to qualify in the Champions League, the current Forest team seems to have vaguely felt like a strong team.

Just when everyone thought so, two days later, on August 27, the Forest team lost 0:1 to Fulham in an away game.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations. After the game, the media used "unpopular" to describe the game.Before the game, no one thought that the forest team would lose, and the odds offered by the bookmakers were all optimistic about the forest team.But I didn't expect the Forest team to lose to Fulham, which is ranked in the middle and lower reaches, in an away game.

It is said that this unexpected result is not only the difference in strength between the two teams. From the perspective of the scene, no one expected that the Forest team, which had the upper hand after 10 minutes, would lose.

The players of the Forest team were very active and worked very hard, but Fulham's iron barrel formation was very successful. After the Forest team failed to score in 75 minutes, the players inevitably became impatient.

Tang En knew what was going on.

This group of boys won the qualification for the Champions Cup, and they were a little too excited.They worked hard on the field, but it didn't work in the right place. Seeing them keep half-running, stealing, then making a wrong pass, stealing again, and making a wrong pass... It's not surprising that they lost the game in the end.

Dunn didn't lose his temper at this loss, he thought the result was pretty good.Sometimes you just need to lose. Losing at this time is better than losing at a critical moment.He doesn't want his team to go unbeaten for 38 consecutive rounds, then win the championship, and then plummet in the second season.He doesn't care about records. Nothing is more important to him than results.If losing is conducive to better winning, he is happy to see losing.

This is the case now.If the team is allowed to win consecutively, he can't say whether there will be some bad ideas within the team, but there will definitely be some impacts that are not conducive to the team's continued progress.Although it wasn't intentional, the loss to a weak team in the fourth round of the league was just right-it could make those hot-haired boys realize the reality and calm down.So as not to suffer a heavier blow later.

So at the post-match press conference, Twain said: "I don't think it's a bad thing to lose occasionally."

Some people would think that he was stubborn, but Tang En would let them see whether he was stubborn.

※ ※ ※

Twain did not follow the team back to Nottingham, but directly flew to Zurich, Switzerland with club chairman Evan Dougherty in London to participate in the draw ceremony for the new season's Champions League group stage held at the UEFA headquarters.

He also participated in the UEFA Cup draw ceremony, but that was not at the same level as the Champions League draw ceremony.This can be regarded as a gathering of the strongest coaches in Europe, and it is a gathering with a strong smell of gunpowder...

The lottery ceremony has not yet started, and those head coaches who have arrived at the lottery location in advance and have known each other for a long time will get together to chat.Twain is still a newcomer to European football, he doesn't know many head coaches here, even though he came early, no one chats with him.So he and Evan sat on the side quietly as spectators.

Capello is far less serious than he is on the sidelines of the coaching bench. At this moment, he is also smiling and chatting with others, and his eyes are quite elegant.

Rijkaard has been very successful in the past two seasons. His team's popularity in European football has soared. In the coaching circle, his popularity has also increased by leaps and bounds.There were quite a few people chatting with him at this time, Tang En roughly counted, and there would always be five people around him.

Ferguson has a lofty status in England, as well as in European football. As the founder of the Manchester United era, his reputation in the coaching circle is not low.Of course, you will never find the Frenchman Arthur Wenger within five meters of him.

Arsenal's manager hasn't arrived yet.

"I thought you would go up and find a topic to cut into." Evan said, pointing to the coaches who gathered in groups of three or four.

Tang En snorted, "I'm not interested." His team was one of the 32 participating teams, and he was here to participate in the lottery ceremony, not to have a tea party.

Evan laughed: "But I'm really happy that my team can appear on this occasion. It was just a plan two years ago."

"In two years, it's time for these people to come and talk to us." Tang En pointed at the people in the hall and said.

It wasn't that Twain seemed out of place, the media outside the door suddenly became commotion, flashing lights, accompanied by screams from some onlookers, female voices.

There are not many such fanatical scenes at the gathering of coaches. Most of the supporters are relatively calm, just signing autographs or posing for photos.There had never been a scream like this.Because most coaches have nothing to make a woman scream...

This is the treatment of superstar players when they play.

Some of the coaches who were chatting next to him were all attracted by what happened at the door, and even Evan got up and looked around.Tang En let out a hey from below: "Don't look, it must be our opponent, Chelsea coach Mourinho, who made such a glorious appearance."

He didn't look sideways, and everything that happened at the door had nothing to do with him.

Evan sat down: "It's interesting, a head coach is more popular than the players, and the popularity is higher."

The person who entered the door was indeed Mourinho in casual attire. He didn't say anything about the formation that welcomed him just now, and walked in with a blank expression on his face.He glanced around the hall at the door, didn't mind those staring at him, and found an empty seat and sat down.

but……

What a coincidence, the vacant seat he found was next to Tang En's.It was only when he came over that he realized this, and Mourinho froze for a moment.

At such a close distance, it is too difficult for the two sides to turn a blind eye to each other...

Mourinho smiled, "Mr. Tang En, we've met so soon."

"Hello, Mr. Mourinho." Tang En also had to get up to say hello.

"Oh, I forgot to congratulate you on breaking into the Champions League." Mourinho held out his hand.

"Thank you." Tang En also stretched out his hand, and the two of them separated soon after touching each other.

"Mr. Dunn, I'm suddenly very interested. You said... will we meet in the Champions League?" I thought that after the greetings, the two would sit down and there would be nothing more, but Mourinho asked again said such a sentence.

"You mean the group draw?" Tang En deliberately pretended to be confused.

"No, it's probably too low. The chances of teams from the same country's league meeting a group are too small."

"Then I don't think we'll have a chance to meet."

Mourinho shrugged: "It's a pity. That must be interesting." Then he pulled out his chair and sat down.

The conversation between the two started inexplicably, and ended inexplicably.

Tang En looked at Mourinho who was sitting next to him doing nothing, and no one came up to talk to this young coach who had been in the limelight for the past two years.

He remembered that some of the comments and reports about Mourinho he had read before might be biased, but the popularity of the Portuguese seems to be really not very good...

In his first season in England, he has almost offended all the coaches in the English football circle.Perhaps some people are reluctant to contact Mourinho out of jealousy of his current achievements... But no matter what the reason is, Mourinho and the current Twain have something in common. There is a lively crowd in front of them. It was deserted around them.

Arsenal coach Arthur Wenger and AC Milan's coach Ancelotti are pinching points.The two walked into the hall one after the other. Wenger happily came up to say hello when he saw Tang En, but he turned a blind eye to Mourinho who was beside Tang En.These two people have deep conflicts, and it is by no means just rumors...

After the two of them arrived, the draw ceremony was about to begin. UEFA notified the coaches to enter the field. After they took their seats, the media lined up at the end of the draw ceremony hall, with long guns and short guns on the rack , began to pay attention to the new season's Champions League group stage draw.

Meanwhile, around the world, supporters of these teams are also looking forward to the results of the draw.Because it is likely to be related to the fate of the team they support for a season.

Twain never did such a thing when he was a fan, because he didn't have a regular support team.But there are many such people around him, happy, angry, sad and happy with the team he likes.

Because it was just the draw ceremony of the Champions League, and there were no messy theatrical performances. After introducing the 32 participating teams, it entered the most critical step-the draw.

Twain could no longer remember what his previous UEFA Champions League grouping was in the 05-06 season.Anyway, he believed that it would not be exactly the same as he remembered.Villarreal has been replaced by Nottingham Forest, and it would be hell to do the same.
