Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 34 Another Derby

    In fact, the city of Nottingham has always had two professional teams…

    If it weren't for the FA Cup, wouldn't many people ignore this?

    Many cities are proud of having a “high level of Derby in the same city” because it shows that their football atmosphere is very strong and the level is high.  This is almost impossible to happen in the city of Nottingham.  Because Nottingham Forest FC and Noz County are not in a grade.

    Nottingham Forest FC has won five European Champion Cups, while Noz County has not participated in the English Premier League.

    Based on the status gap caused by the huge strength gap between the two teams, there is rarely a formal Derby battle between Nottingham Forest FC and Noz County.

    Thanks to the FA Cup, this opportunity is coming.

    The fans of the County of Noz are most grateful to the FA Cup because their chances are coming.  They have always wanted to teach the arrogant neighbors, but they have no chance.  Nottingham Forest FC is naturally not going to warm up in the pre-season exhibition match to find opponents like Noz County – they are smart, afraid of hurting one of the two main forces, affecting the entire season…

    The former Noz County was actually not a challenge to challenge Nottingham Forest FC. It was only swearing on the mouth. Nottingham Forest FC is a running dog of foreign capital. It has long been a team of England.

    Nowadays, the situation is different.  The arrival of Tang has greatly increased the strength of Noz County, and they can also stabilize in the middle of the British League.  This also makes them feel alive and want to prove their strength in front of the old family.  The so-called "full warmth and lust"…Oh, in fact, the meaning is similar.  The strength has reached a level, and the spiritual field has naturally reached a level, and I dare to consider things that I could not even think about before.

    So when a FA Cup third round of matchup came out a month ago, Nottingham City was boiling.  At least half of them are waiting for the arrival of this game.  In addition, the average person…In fact, Nottingham Forest FC can't afford much interest in this kind of city Derby.

    Perhaps you can use this sentence to summarize the status quo of the two teams – "Noz County only has Nottingham Forest FC in the eyes.  Nottingham Forest FC sees the whole world."

    So in the face of the rare "Derby in the same city", the training program of Nottingham Forest FC is not unusual, as they have faced in any ordinary FA Cup competition.  The players are mostly talking about their opponents in the FA Cup, but the league.

    Only Chen Jian felt that this thing was quite interesting.  He went through a city of Derby at RCD Espanyol and then bid farewell to the city.  I did not expect to have a new team, the new city, and another city of Derby.

    The end and the beginning are all on "Derby", which is interesting.  It is really interesting.

    "In fact, this Derby is still a bit interesting…"Until the day before the start of the game, someone finally remembered that they would be playing a city of Derby tomorrow.

    "Now County's current Manager used to be our Assistant Coach.  Gareth Bale talked to a group of new players and heard that everyone was quite fascinated.  Now in the team, there have been few players who have experienced the "China Assistant Professor" era.

    "Speaking of it, I didn't expect him to do Manager one day, and it was our opponent in the same city…"Bale squeezed his chin and screamed.  "And it's a little bit related to Chen Jian…"In a word, he led everyone's eyes to Chen Jian.

    "Ahhhh…"Chen Jian found that everyone was watching himself. He didn't know what to say for a while, only to come to the team for three days.  Still not familiar with it, suddenly faced with so many people, do not know how to open.

    "They are all Chinese, of course, it has a relationship.  "There is a human voice in the player. It is not surprising.

    "China is said to have more than a billion people.  Do you have a relationship with everyone? ”Bale dismissed, he pointed to Chen Jian and said, "Chen Jian was out of our Forest youth team, but before you know how he came to the Forest team?"

    Few people will know this kind of thing.  The past of a China player.  How many people care? The local media has not reported much.

    "A business draft.  Bale looked at Chen Jian and smiled. "He took the third, and then the Assistant Coach Don gave him a Forest team. He came!" ”

    "Oh–" A group of people suddenly realized and satisfied.  This story sounds interesting and quite legendary.

    Chen Jian was a little surprised. I didn't expect anyone in the team to know about this past. He never said it everywhere.  I first came to the Forest team for a one-year workout.  It is not a sensational news.  First Team should be no one cares about this little thing.  Later, he went to the Youth Youth Team for training. It was normal. Later, although he became a member of the First Team on the Contract, he never showed up at the First Team. He did not wear the jersey of the Forest team on behalf of the First Team. A game, even if it is just an insignificant commercial game.

    He feels that in Nottingham Forest FC, in addition to Twain coach, no one should remember him as a haste.

    I really didn't expect it.  In todays overpriced Australian property market, it is hard to fathom being able to buy a house for anything with a downpayment of less than $50K.  Gareth Bale, the No. 2 Captain of Nottingham Forest FC, remembered his past!

    He suddenly remembered what Twain had said to him.

    That is after he just attended the press conference of joining the team.  The journalists are gone. Twain took Chen Jian to Crimson Arena and stepped on the turf. It was another "welcome ceremony".

    "Chen Jian, do you know the legends of Nottingham?"

    Chen Jian stunned and then reacted: "Are you saying Robin Hood?"

    Twain nodded and stopped to look at Chen Jian who followed.  "Although the name Nottingham Forest FC has nothing to do with Robin Hood, the team logo has something to do with it.  The thing that looks like a mushroom is actually an oak tree.  Twain pointed to the Nottingham Forest FC team logo on the Stadium stand.  "And the oak is where Robin Hood and his brothers gathered together.  Sounds a bit like your China's Water Margin? ”

    Chen Jian was a little surprised: "You know even the Water Margin, head?"

    "I don't know, I have seen it many times.  Twain really wanted to answer him like this.

    "How can I not know the four famous books of China?"Twain did not continue on this topic, but said, "The oak tree represents the friendship between Robin Hood and his brothers, and it also represents strong and unyielding.  Forest team legend Captain Stuart.Pierce has been hailed as having a 'heart of oak'.  ”

    Chen Jian doesn't understand what Twain wants to say to him.  The topic is getting farther and farther. For a moment, Robin Hood, the team emblem for a while, the oak tree for a while, and the current England Manager for a while…

    "I want to tell you that the Nottingham Forest FC team is like a green forest thief who gathers under the oak. The people here are pure, good is good, bad is bad.  If you want to integrate into the team as soon as possible.  Get their recognition and acceptance, the surface effort does not work, speak with strength.  If you can show the strength to make them nod, then you are a member of this Greenwood Thieves Group.  After that, you can drink with them in a big bowl and eat meat in large chunks, ha! ”

    Twain laughed.

    Hearing such a strange team culture, Chen Jian was a bit wrong.  He is standing in the huge Crimson Arena.  The surrounding stands were empty, and the afternoon sun slanted in and could only shine on the east stand. The green field was already shrouded in the shadow of the stands and the ceiling.

    The Nottingham Forest FC's team logo was on the roof of the stands in front of him, and the sun shone on it, and the edges of the metal floor glowed in the sunlight.

“……Nottingham Forest FC is a robber-like team.  Do you know what I am talking about? They can use whatever means to win, stealing and stealing is the way they use it.  Such a team can get the European Champion Cup for the fifth time. It is really the sadness of modern football…"

    This is after a famous football commentator on the blog of China, after Twain led the team to complete the Triple Crown.  Chen Jian happened to see it when he was online.

    Think about it now.  That person obviously hates the Forest team. He should be Real Madrid's fans, but he is right.

    Nottingham Forest FC is a group of robbers gathering places…

    When Chen Jian came back, Bale and his teammates were talking about Noz County again. In fact, they didn’t know much about this opponent, even though Twain showed them several times in the Tactics class these days. The video of the game in Noz County, who cares about a weak opponent?

    So everyone's topic is focused on "Oh.  I heard that their No. 10 is not bad. "I was selected for the Qing Youth Team under the age of 21 in England." "The 18th seems to be ok, just…The body is thin and thin" "but it is also the level of the middle of the British crown" "Their side seems to be able to use…"What does the head mean? ”

    When it comes to Manager Twain, everyone has a mouth.

    After a while, the oldest Bale in the area frowned: "I always feel that the head doesn't value the game…"

    Chen Jian listened to it and wanted to laugh.  I don't think you value it either.

    "To tell the truth, I think the next season, if we still want to participate in the Europe competition, it is the most appropriate way to take the FA Cup to participate in the Europe league.  Bale continued to analyze.  "But I always think that the head will take the initiative to give up the FA Cup and specialize in the league.  But it’s too hard to get into the top six of the league…"

    Chen Jian has studied the situation of the Forest team. After all, he is also a member of the Forest team…I have to admit that the second Captain is quite reasonable.  Although the cup is said to be very accidental.  But a team like Nottingham Forest FC is good for the big cup.  Specializing in the FA Cup, there may be a way to live.  The league is too long. Who knows if it will be a scorpion in the future?

    "What are you still grinding?"

    A group of people are feeling confused about the future of the team.  No. 1 Captain George Wood walked in the door of the locker room and walked in: "Don't go out again, all late for a penalty run!"

    Rumble, suddenly in the locker room like a galloping horse, a group of people squinted from the front of Chen Jian in the blink of an eye.

    "This…"Chen Jian didn't expect her teammates to be so smart and quick.

    Wood turned and left, and found that there was another person in the locker room. When he found out that it was Chen Jian, he stopped and looked at each other.

    Chen Jian realized that he was out of order, and quickly bowed his head and ran out of the locker room.

    This Captain is really majestic, just watching it makes you dare not look up…When he ran out, Chen Jian thought so.

    Fortunately, the news of the website of the dog day in China is not visible…

    Bale guessed it, Twain really wanted to give up the FA Cup.  But he will never give up in the first round.

    The English Premier League team will start the FA Cup journey after the New Year. For them, this is the first round, and in fact it is the third round of the FA Cup.

    Twain not only does not give up, on the contrary, he also attaches great importance to this game, otherwise he will not continue to show the players the video of the game in Noz County.  It’s a pity…He attaches great importance to it, but his players may not pay as much attention to this weak opponent.

    Players do not value this game naturally have their reasons.  Because this opponent is too weak, according to the ideas of the Forest team players, only 50%of the power can be defeated.  What about Derby? They also did not defeat Noz County in the Derby battle.  Of course, it was already a long time ago. The people who participated in the game at that time were now only one of the whole team, and even Bale was still in the Youth Youth Team and Reserve Team. Take exercise.

    However, this history has always been able to be detected. Recently, local media in Nottingham have been reporting the same city Derby after 14 years.  The Derby battle of fourteen years ago is the closest to today. How could it not be mentioned repeatedly by the media?

    With such a "historical record" in front, the players of Nottingham Forest FC certainly feel that winning is a matter of course, and defeating opponents must be effortless.

    If you switch to a normal Manager, his mind is also an idea with his own players.  But Twain's emphasis on this game is very special and cannot be told.

    He always wanted to make an opponent with Tang to see what happened to Tang in the past many years.  In addition, he believes that Tang must know that this game is his own in Nottingham Forest FC fans and Evan.Doughty is the best chance to show his strength in front of him, he will not let it go.

    Noz County will definitely go all out, this game is not comparable to the game fourteen years ago.

    If you are not careful, you can…This time it should not be "turning over the gutter".  Today's Nottingham Forest FC is definitely not a big ship sailing, but today's Noz County is certainly not a stinking ditch…
