champion godfather

Chapter 629 Juan Wuhong is just an ordinary league

The away loss to Arsenal made the Forest team once again encounter two rounds of invincibility.In this devil's schedule, apart from Chelsea, Twain lost all the matches against the other three strong teams.The media is not optimistic about the goal of "competing for the league championship" that Tang En said before the season.You know, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are all direct competitors for him to compete for the championship. Now they have all lost without exception, and the points gap has been widened. Is Nottingham Forest still qualified to compete for the league championship?
Although Twain was also unhappy about losing the match against Arsenal, he was not pessimistic enough to think that his team had lost its future.The media always like to make a fuss and make headlines, because otherwise they will not attract the attention of readers.
Arsenal won Nottingham Forest and ranked first in the league with 33 points in one less game, while Manchester United lost 0:1 to Bolton away in this round of the league, Liverpool beat Newcastle 3:0 away, Manchester City home 2:1 victory over Reading, these two teams now have 29 points with the Forest team, and they both overwhelmed the Forest team by goal difference, ranking above Nottingham Forest.
As for Chelsea, which has just undergone major personnel changes recently, no one has any hope for their game results.Not only because the club has just experienced such a thing, but also because most of the media do not recognize the ability of Chelsea's new head coach Grant at all-they don't believe that Chelsea can be revived in the hands of the Israeli, In this season's league championship competition, there is no such thing as Chelsea.
As if to prove that what these media said is true, Chelsea, who changed their head coach, lost 0:2 away to newly promoted Derby County in this round of the league.
Everyone was waiting for a joke from Grant, and he delivered.Chelsea, who lost Mourinho, seemed to have their soul taken away overnight. They showed no fighting spirit on the field, like a headless fly, their tactics were chaotic, and the players were out of shape.Everyone looks preoccupied, thinking about their future.
Tang En deeply understands this, and the Nottingham Forest he just took over is almost like this.Although Mourinho has been at Chelsea for more than three years, he has laid the foundation for this team.But his sudden departure also caused irreparable damage to this foundation.So in fact, what was left to Grant was a mess, with low morale and panic, and everyone felt a feeling of "lost backbone".In the past three years or so, Chelsea players have long been accustomed to the life of only Mourinho at the helm. He has injected a strong spiritual force into this team. Never give up...
Now, all of those things are gone all at once, like magic.With a pop, the pigeon disappeared from the magician's hands.
No one knows what Grant is thinking about taking over this team, and no one knows what else he can do with this team, but it doesn't matter.What everyone cares about is how long he can sit in this hot ass position-it is said that Abramovich has already contacted Ten Carter, who once worked as an assistant coach for Rijkaard in Barcelona, ​​​​to come to Chelsea to be the head coach of it?There are also rumors that Abramovich has found Hiddink, who is working in the Russian national team, and Van Basten, who is the head coach of the Dutch national team.The names of these three people have been confirmed, except for Tony Twain who caused the "swearing door" incident some time ago. Chelsea has never admitted that they have found this troublesome person.It seemed like Dunn himself was overreacting.
It is rare for a head coach to be sentenced to death by everyone from the day he officially takes office.Should Avram Grant be honored or sad?
Thanks to Grant, after Chelsea lost, most of the media hype was aimed at Chelsea, and Nottingham Forest's defeat seemed insignificant against this background.
The devil's schedule is coming to an end, and after three rounds of buffering, the intensive Christmas schedule will hit again.
This is a special feature of the Premier League. Other leagues will have a winter break after Christmas. Among the four major European leagues, only the Premier League does not have this winter break.Because the public will be off for Christmas, people who have been busy for a year will have more time to freely choose whether to travel or stay at home to watch TV. Similarly, fans will also have a lot of time to go to the scene to watch the game and benefit from money. From the perspective of maximization, it is indeed very appropriate to arrange an intensive schedule during this period.But the problem is that players are not robots, they need rest just like ordinary people, and I am afraid that the rest will take longer-because there are 60 teams in the Premier League, counting various cups in a season, one A big team may need to play more than [-] games.At the same time, the Premier League is also the fastest-paced, most competitive and fastest league in the world. The physical requirements of players playing in this league are much higher than those in La Liga and other leagues, and they are more prone to qualifying fatigue.Cup matches in other countries are usually scheduled for mid-week, but in order to maximize the benefits of TV broadcasting, the English FA arranges the FA Cup and League Cup on Saturday and Sunday as much as possible, which crowds out the league schedule However, the extra league games can only be frequently arranged in the middle of the week, which is one of the important reasons why the English league has so many double matches a week.
Christmas is in winter, when the temperature drops sharply, and the climate in England is mainly wet and cold, which is very unsuitable for outdoor sports. The chance of injury is greatly increased in competitions under such environmental factors.It's no coincidence that at this time of year, clubs experience a concentration of injuries and injuries like a volcanic eruption.
Like most coaches, Twain was also very unhappy with this arrangement, but countless head coaches who were more famous than Twain also opposed it, and it didn't work at all.In the final analysis, the Premier League is actually a company, so it is natural that the first goal is to make money, and the Football Association of England must also consider its own interests.As for the health of the players... Anyway, they earn so much money, it is worth paying a little more hardship and risk than ordinary people.
Any sports is a gamble of youth against tomorrow, some people win the bet, and some people lose the bet.This is a reality that makes Dunn very helpless.
※ ※ ※
In the No.15 round of the league, Nottingham Forest returned to the home court again. Compared with the previous opponents, this opponent's ranking is not low, but this ranking is a bit watery.
Manchester City.
Twain was treated as a winner once at the beginning of the season, and Twain didn't mind letting Manchester City be the winner again when the Forest team desperately needed to win.

In fact, Ashley Young played very well in Manchester City. If it weren't for the scandal of him being exposed to cheating on the Internet, his current reputation would not be bad.The triumph of Manchester City is mainly because they have been taken advantage of by spending a lot of money.Judging by Ashley Young's ability, 500 million pounds is still a bit expensive...
This game is also the first game for Ashley Young to return to the city stadium - he will come back many times in the future, but the countless times are definitely not comparable to the first time, and this is definitely more precious than a virgin. There is a reason.
Some media took this as a gimmick for hype, and the inside story of the transfer was more or less disclosed. Everyone felt that Ashley Young was driven away by Tang En sincerely... because Ashley Young was actually not Didn't want to leave Nottingham Forest.This incident was promoted by some "Tang En black" media, which portrayed Ashley Young as an uncompromisingly loyal to the Forest team, and described Tang En as a cruel and ruthless dictator-everything goes against him Those who are willing, even if they are heroes and loyal ministers of the team, can only leave Wilford in desolation in the end.
There is still some market for such remarks, because the majority of people in this world hate Tony Twain.But Tang En was not in the mood to quarrel with those people on this issue in the media.He never cared what others think of him, so if he quarrels with someone in the newspaper, it must be because of impersonal reasons, such as helping the team decompress, diverting the attention of the media, purely for fun and molesting someone... ...No one thing is trying to justify his name - those media said that Tang En is a devil with horns on his head, wings on his back, tail on his butt, sharp teeth, and he is very happy to spread it around, For fear that others would not know his virtue.
In short, the situation was like this - the media wanted to hype Ashley Young's revenge battle, but Tang En refused to fight at all.
"Ashley Young? Oh, he is a very good midfielder. I am very grateful for his contribution to the team in the past few seasons in the Forest team, and I hope he can have better performance in the new team. I have a lot of old friends in Manchester City... If you really can't find a suitable gimmick, I suggest you publish a full-page advertisement and earn more money ..."
Manchester City did have his friends, but that was in the past.Stuart Pierce has reported to the FA. He became the head coach of the England U21 national team last season. Therefore, Manchester City went back to contact Eriksson to return to the UK because they needed a player. head coach.
Perhaps in other places, the club coach can also serve as the head coach of the national team, the most typical is the Dutch Hiddink, who can be the head coach of PSV Eindhoven and the head coach of the Australian national team at the same time.But this is absolutely impossible in England.Leaving aside the saliva that drowned people seven times and 49 times and the club fans' doubts about the loyalty of the head coach, it is a matter of fairness, which cannot be sloppy-in case a certain Premier League team The head coach became the head coach of the England team. In order to let the players of his own club save more energy in the league, all the players from other teams were selected to join the national team, and then flew tens of thousands of kilometers to play the most important warm-up In the end, they dragged their tired bodies back to their respective clubs. When they played against the coach's team, they probably didn't have the energy to fight with all their strength, right?
Therefore, the English Football Association will never allow the head coach of England to concurrently serve as the head coach of other clubs.
Even if Pierce is the head coach of U21, he must choose between the club and the country. He chose to give up the position of Manchester City head coach and went to the England National Youth Team.
This time Tang En faced Manchester City, and he really didn't have any friends.
Eriksson was still the head coach of England, and Twain didn't like him.Thaksin Twain, a Thai, has no friendship. As for those players... let alone friends.
So this game is indeed as Twain said, it is a very ordinary league. If the media want to hype the grievances between him and Ashley Young, they have really picked the wrong occasion.
In this game, Twain used rotation again.Beckham started the game, and Ribery also appeared on the left. Of course, the central midfielder was still a combination of George Wood and van der Vaart. Dunn hoped to focus on cultivating the tacit understanding of this combination.If there is no accident, in most cases, the forest team will rely on these two people in the middle.Although Franck Ribery can also play in the middle, after all, the left is where Dunn wants him to stay.
On the forward line, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Eastwood partnered to start, Arshavin was on the bench, and Bendtner didn't even make the squad.
At the back, Gareth Bale was the starter, with Ayala and Kompany at centre-back and Rafinha on the right.Zimbonda is still on the bench...
Fighting at home, and the recent poor results, the Forest team, which Tang En had fired on, was exhausted. In their eyes, Manchester City was a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, or in other words, a winner-there was only one in the whole body. Word: three points!
"Ooooh!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly, "Van Nistelrooy—"
In the opening 3 minutes, the Forest team took the lead.Too easy, too casual... Manchester City's early-season magic is fading, and now they are waiting for a strong enough opponent to knock them back into shape.
The Dutch striker ran around the sidelines with his arms outstretched like a bird in flight. "The Flying Dutchman", Tang En forgot where he heard this phrase for the first time, but at this moment he naturally thought of it.Ruud van Nistelrooy is not old. I bought him at the beginning. I bought him right. Not only is he in a stable state, he is also conscientious. In the locker room, he never pulls the Dutch fellows to engage in "Dutch gangs". He has a good relationship with Beckham , but also to unite others.A real professional player... Old Sir, why did you let such a person go?
Before the end of the first half, Manchester City launched a vigorous counterattack, but it did not receive any effect.Although Ayala is old, but where is his experience, coupled with George Wood's hard work as always, Manchester City's offensive is full of thunder and rain.
During the intermission, Eriksson encouraged the players to work hard. A goal behind is nothing, and anything can happen on the football field.
In the opening 3 minutes of the second half, the Forest team scored the second goal.
Because Tang En also told his people during the intermission that anything can happen on the football field, and a one-goal lead is nothing at all, so we should sneak attack them when the opponent is making a big counterattack.
He succeeded again.
The whole city pressed forward aggressively, and the forest team seized the opportunity of the emptiness in the rear to make another victory.
Two goals behind, the expression on Eriksson's face was ugly.
It was Van der Vaart who scored, his long-range shot piercing Joe Hart's fingers.
In the next game, the Forest team made persistent efforts like two goals.
Franck Ribery and Eastwood scored a goal each, and the Forest team finally defeated Manchester City with a score of 4:0.
As for Ashley Young, who was treated as a gimmick by the media before the game?He was completely suppressed by Gareth Bale and Ribery's offensive in the game, and he didn't play his due level at all.After 10 minutes of mediocrity, he was replaced by Eriksson.He walked off the field with his head down, ending his "journey of revenge".
The Forest team, which won the ball, stopped the possible decline, and Tang En was in a good mood.
He and Eriksson also hugged, and he didn't see the way he criticized the Swede on TV and newspapers.
A reporter asked at the press conference about the goals Tang En set for the team before the season. Now that the team has lost three games and the opponents are all the most direct competitors, will this affect the goals he set for the team before the season? When there is any adverse effect on the target.
Tang En replied with a smile: "Of course this will make us feel more uncomfortable, but I think the championship won in this way is more precious." He was in a good mood and did not argue with the reporter. "The goal will not change, it will still be the champion!"
