Chapter 849 Volume [-] The Heart of the Lion King

For Tony Twain in public, December [-]th may be a memorable day.Because this is the day when he returned to the position of head coach of the Forest team and began to lead the team for ten consecutive years.However, Tony Twain has two identities, so in fact, January [-]st is probably the day he will remember forever.

On January 2014, 1, he passed through 1 years... Maybe this day can't be counted as "anniversary day", right?
No matter what the outcome of time travel is, it is not worth commemorating.Because it means that although you get a lot of things, you lose something else permanently.What you get may not feel precious, and what you lose is irretrievable forever.

So on January [-]st, Twain was still busy at work, preparing for the FA Cup three days later.This is the first round of the FA Cup for a Premier League team this season.

In Twain's heart, he has already won basically all the championships he can win, but there is still one regret - as England's oldest and most important competition, his championship coach's performance in the FA Cup is one. Blank, it really doesn't match his current status and identity.

So he made himself a New Year's resolution for Leon on January [-]st.One of them is: Regardless of the results of other competitions this season, he must win the FA Cup!

The other one is - I hope to have a baby in the new year.

I have been married to Shania for four and a half years, as long as they have a chance to be together, the most important thing must be "creating a human being".Although once pregnant, it will definitely affect Shania's career, but Shania herself doesn't care about this kind of thing.However, in the past year, Shania rarely mentioned "children" and instead concentrated on work.

In fact, Tang En knew in his heart that Shania's desire for children hadn't really diminished, she just didn't want to create pressure on herself... If the wife is infertile, in most cases, the responsibility lies with the man.Tang En had the urge more than once to go to the hospital to check himself.But when things came to an end, he flinched again. This kind of thing is really... It's better to let yourself have fantasies.It must not be my fault, it must be just bad luck.Didn't I never encounter such a thing as missing the target?When I started military training in high school, I went to the shooting range to shoot targets. I had ten shots and zero rings, and the buddy next to me had ten shots and one hundred and one rings——I still shot a ten rings, but it missed the neighbor...

Sometimes Tang En also wanted to call Tang, who was in the same city, to inquire about whether he had any such convenient diseases before, or whether he had a family genetic history.But in the end, I just think about it in my head.Now he can only hypnotize himself: "It must not be my problem, it must be just bad luck..."

If the FA Cup is also won as I wish, I wonder if the wish of "having a child" can also be realized...

On this day, Dunn made a move that outsiders would find very strange.He found a piece of paper and wrote on it: "I want a child, it can be a boy or a girl, as long as he/she is healthy. No matter who is the god, if you see it, please help!"

Then he folded the note carefully, put it into a small glass bottle, and buried it under a certain tree in his garden.When I was buried, I still muttered: "In spring, I plant a seed, and in autumn, I can reap a child..."

It's a good thing that Shania is not here, otherwise Tang En will definitely be pissed off by this move - if you have time to "plant children", it's better to "cultivate" with me.

It's really urgent to go to the doctor...

※ ※ ※

Tang En only thought about the child's matter once in a while, and he would not be able to bear it if he thought about it every day.There is no rush for this matter. Having a child and winning the championship are completely different things. To win the championship sets a goal, and then the whole team works hard towards the goal.Having a baby isn't always worth the effort.Countless young couples won the bid without wearing a condom that day, and those couples who longed to have children have worked hard for many years and may not have any results...

Nottingham Forest's opponent in the first FA Cup is Championship side Leeds United.The original "Young Guards" have long been inferior to what they used to be. Now they are in a financial mess and their results are also fluctuating. Last season, the British Championship was almost relegated to the first division.The FA Cup meeting with Nottingham Forest is their misfortune in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact this is one of the opponents that Leeds United most hopes to meet-this game is held at Leeds United's home court, and the ticket revenue belongs to Leeds United.Nottingham Forest is now a star team. Just one Tony Twain is enough to attract popularity, not to mention those well-known stars, they are all guaranteed box office.For Bates, who is not a millionaire, a pound is also money, and he will never throw it on the ground if he should earn it himself.

The opponents in this game were not strong. Twain sent half of the first team and half of the youth team. As a result, they defeated Leeds United 3-0 in the away game.

Adriano Mock was named the man of the match after the game. He contributed one goal and two assists. All three goals of the Forest team were related to him.His sharp breakthroughs and dazzling skills on the wing made it impossible for opponents to guard against him, and also made the audience hooked.

Although Lennon's departure made Tang En a little unhappy, Mo Ke was very upbeat and grew up very quickly.It seems that the years of wandering outside have helped him a lot.Twain believed in the saying that hardships make people grow, so he deliberately made Mork's career not so smooth. Now it seems that the hard work at the beginning was not in vain. It is time to reap the rewards... I just hope that Lennon will be in AC Milan Have a good time.

The FA Cup was the first game played by the New Year's Forest team. Tang En valued this good start, 3:0, and still a complete victory. The opponent did not score a goal, which seemed to indicate a good sign for the new year.

In the following month, his hunch was confirmed.Eastwood and George Wood settled their suspicions, and the atmosphere of the team returned to a happy state, with high morale and one mind.

In four league games in January, Nottingham Forest achieved an impressive record of four consecutive victories.Subsequently, Twain was also named the best coach of the month, Nottingham Forest was awarded the best team of the month, and George Wood was awarded the best player of the month.The Forest team also returned to the first group in the league rankings, ranking fourth.

When the time entered February, another important event also kicked off.The European Champions Cup has rekindled the battle, and Nottingham Forest, as a member of the round of [-], will play PSV Eindhoven in the quarter-finals.This opponent is the weakest opponent the Forest team has encountered in the first round of the knockout round of the Champions Cup in recent years.

Does it seem like UEFA is giving extra favors?
Eindhoven played at home first. They drew Nottingham Forest tenaciously at home and managed to prevent Forest from scoring a goal. A group of shooters such as Aaron Mitchell and Ibisevic in the Premier League turned out to be Not scoring against Eindhoven's goal made Tang En very angry. He yelled at a group of players in the locker room for a full 5 minutes, until everyone dared not look up.

In the end, he said viciously: "You better hope that it won't be another draw at home, and it will be a draw with goals!"

This 0:0 boring game made many people gloat. Tony Twain is too arrogant in European football, and everyone wants to see him suffer.The away game was tied by the "underdog" Eindhoven, and he has not yet scored his most important away goal.There are also media in the Netherlands who have published optimistic predictions, thinking that it is not impossible for Eindhoven to eliminate the Forest team and advance to the quarter-finals. How unpopular and unexpected in the football world, strong strength does not necessarily mean victory.Didn't Nottingham Forest also start from a dark horse?What's more, strictly speaking, Eindhoven is a powerful side, not a dark horse.

"Target: the top eight!"

Before Eindhoven departed for Nottingham, the Dutch local media posted such eye-catching headlines.

Tang En responded in Nottingham: "The goal is only the top eight? It's really useless..."

You have to be tough on your mouth, and the preparation work under your hands can't be sloppy.Tang En gave up the previous league for this game, and his team finally stopped the winning streak in the league.Of course, Black Twain's people will see this as "Nottingham Forest has had a bad year recently. After being frustrated in the Champions League, they have also stopped their winning streak in the league. It seems that they are not doing well..."

Tang En ignored it, whether the situation is good or not, don't you know if you come to try it?

Before the game, Twain instilled in his players a belief that they must win.

"If you get knocked out by PSV at home, you can imagine for yourself what the consequences will be."

That's a lot more effective than yelling at them a thousand times "We're gonna win because they're shit!"

The unseen fear is the real fear.

No one wants to be scolded by their boss for five minutes or more in the dressing room, and no one wants to be ridiculed after losing to PSV.No one wants to lose games and championships.This Nottingham Forest is a team with a tradition of victories and championships. They have long been accustomed to victories and honors. Failure?They hate losing.

Eindhoven's coach Hooper. Stevens is still clear-headed, he was not encouraged by the media.He still played the defensive counterattack lineup at home in the away game.He expected that Tang En would be eager to attack because he wanted to advance, so he only needed to counterattack and take a cold shot to make money.He has such confidence as his team have successfully defended nine 10 minutes at home.

As expected, Dunn launched a mad attack at home, Mitchell, Ibisevic, Bentley, Fernandez, and Shaheen.Twain's 442 only had a defensive midfielder. Neither Gago nor Thiago played in this game. Wood led the midfielder to counter Eindhoven's counterattack with his own strength.

Stevens was still giggling when he saw this starter.But within 10 minutes, he stopped laughing.

Nottingham Forest has already had two shots on the goal frame.The Eindhoven defenders, who performed well in the first round, could not prevent the assault of Nottingham Forest's offensive players.

In the non-stop singing of the home fans, Nottingham Forest finally opened the gate of Eindhoven in the No.207 minute.It was Ibisevic who scored the goal, his powerful header smashing the goal guarded by the Swedish national goalkeeper Isaksen.

It was as if a hole had burst in a thousand-mile embankment, and then Eindhoven was defeated like a mountain, and was washed away by the flood-like offensive of Nottingham Forest.

In fact, the lineup is not much different from the first round, but Nottingham Forest, who were unwilling to lose to PSV, exploded with energy that PSV did not expect, as if a nuclear bomb exploded, and the shock wave flooded them. return……

No. 40 minutes, Mitchell made a header. 2:0!In this game, the Forest team's high-altitude bombing tactics were quite successful.Eindhoven's defenders have nothing to do with Ibisevic, who is 1.8 meters tall, and Mitchell, who is [-] meters tall.

Stevens fidgeted on the sidelines, very anxious.Two goals behind, this game is not easy to play... Eindhoven needs to score two goals... But look at the forest team's posture, if they save and attack them, the goal can be scored. What's the use of throwing too many balls?

In the second half, the Forest team continued to maintain the fierce offensive of the first half, and did not intend to let Eindhoven take a breather at all.It seems that Tang En was obviously stimulated by the comments from the outside media. He must let everyone see whether this tiger's butt can be touched or not.

In 1 minute, Nottingham Forest made another victory.This time it was Bell who scored the goal, and he scored with a direct free kick.

This goal completely crushed Eindhoven's fighting spirit.

It seems that the tiger's butt is really untouchable...

Then Eindhoven completely lost the initiative on the field. They tried to counterattack, but they only provided Forest with more opportunities to be counterattacked.

At the last moment, the Forest team broke into the penalty area through a teamwork. The defender made a header error and gave the football to Mitchell. The pie fell from the sky. Mitchell was unceremonious and stabbed the football in with his foot. 4 :0 to seal the victory of the game.

"Look at the performance of the Eindhoven players. There is probably only one thing on their minds now, and that is to escape from this noisy stadium as soon as possible!"

Although already leading by a large score, the Forest fans in the stands of the city stadium did not mean to let the Eindhoven players go. Whenever the visiting team players took the ball, what awaited them was a burst of violent boos, unless the football was in the game. The Forest team, otherwise they will not use the slightest breathing room.

When the referee was very considerate and ended the 3-minute stoppage time in one and a half minutes, the entire Eindhoven team was relieved.After this battle, I'm afraid their dislike for Tony Twain and this team will intensify...

In the interview after the game, Twain was very cool, he spared words like gold.When anyone saw how he had won the game, he simply said, "I'm so sorry for disappointing some people!"

Who are "some people"?People with ghosts in their hearts know it themselves.
