Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 53—Old Antiques

    Mourinho definitely didn't look down on Nottingham Forest FC and Tony Twain, so he wasn't surprised when the Forest team launched a fierce offensive at home.

    However, despite this, the difficulty of this game still made him feel a headache.

    Nottingham Forest FC is bent on winning Manchester United FC at home and using victory to bid farewell to them.  Their performance in the game is like they need to compete for the League Title.

    It's not natural for Manchester United FC to win the game's victory. If they lose to Nottingham Forest FC, the League Title is basically lost.  Who wants to fall before the finish line?

    The game was in a stalemate from the start.  The competition between the two sides in the midfield is very intense.  This game George Wood and Chen Jian were originally intended to attack, but the strong pressure of Manchester United FC forced them to temporarily turn to defense.  In the same way, because Wood and Chen Jian stayed in the middle, the Manchester United FC's offense could not be advanced, and there was no way to threaten the Forest team's goal.

    The midfielder could not organize an effective offense, and the Forest team did not panic.  They have other methods, such as long pass.

    Wood and Chen Jian the position back, into the back, basically nest in front of the defender line do not go up, organize the attack of the amount of the ball to see the opportunity in front of a long pass, Mittschell height two meters 01, in the front as if the lighthouse as eye-catching, long pass to find him, and then by him to ferry the ball down , or directly controlled, anyway, in addition to his outstanding height, but also excellent foot skills, the football control at the foot is not a problem.

    And Balotelli is wandering around Mitchel, waiting for an opportunity to shoot.

    In comparison, the lack of Rooney's Manchester United FC is a bit less impactful, even if they want to pass the rush.  Their Striker was too thin in front of the Forest team's Defender…

    In order to deal with Manchester United FC.  Twain spent two weeks making his team "harder".  The style of playing is hard and the little action is hard.  So the first half of the game looks like the focus of the two teams is not on the offense, but on how to use the foul action not seen by the referee to stop the opponent's offense…

    As the last game Twain coached, this first half was definitely not exciting.  There are fewer high-quality offenses on both sides.  However, the fans in the stands still look at the relish and enthusiasm.  Manchester United FC fans care about whether their team can get Champion, so the scene is how they don't care, they are not Real Madrid and Barça fans, look good first.  The second result.  Nottingham Forest FC fans are not the kind of group that pursues beautiful scenes. Otherwise, Twain is enough to go to class thirty-eight times in the first year of his coaching career. Every round has to go to class once, as long as they can win, they It feels like a good thing.

    Only a few neutral fans will feel that this game is not boring for the live broadcast of the world, but those fierce collisions are still a bit of a look.  Football games, of course, it is impossible to score every minute, and it is impossible to have wonderful shots and magical saves every minute, a real fan.  Every little detail on the field will not be missed.

    The small details of this game can be quite a lot…

    When Balotelli kicked a free kick, the shot didn't give Balotelli a free throw, but immediately cut to Twain on the coach.  Twain in the lens slammed his head up, revealing a regrettable expression.  Then the camera was transferred to Mourinho, and the Portuguese face was expressionless.  It doesn't seem to worry that his team will be the first to fall.

    Next, George Wood and Manchester United FC midfielder Adrien made a one-on-one match. As a result, Young Wood's three-year-old Adrien lost and lost the possession in front of Manchester United FC's penalty area.  Mourinho, who saw this scene, changed his face and complained to the Assistant Coach around him.

    Nottingham Forest FC took the opportunity to launch an offensive.  This is their most threatening offense in the first half.  Wood passed the football to Chen Jian, and Chen Jian made a long-range shot but buckled the football and looked at Gareth Bale, who was plugged in on the left, and pushed the football straight into the middle.  Mitchel relied on Defender Evans in Manchester United FC to control the football, and Balotelli plugged in front of him, attracting the attention of Manchester United FC Defender.  When everyone thought that Mitchel would pass the football to Balotelli, Mittelel suddenly gave the football behind him with his heel, there.  Gareth Bale has been inserted into the penalty area and is not offside, and is unmarked!

    Such a good opportunity, Bale does not hesitate to shoot!

    Football went straight to the corner, but fortunately Manchester United FC Goalkeeper Rufis focused and quickly fell to the bottom of the football.

    The offense caused huge cheers and applause from the stands, and it was one of the few highlights in the first half.  Twain is really sorry for the lack of this ball.  And Mourinho stood up from his seat – facing the Forest team's offensive.  He can't sit still.

    In fact, for Manchester United FC, as long as it can be flat.  They can get Champion.  But Mourinho never thought about this possibility in his mind.  He knows how much Twain's energy is. If the plan is set at the level of "Bao Ping can win", then the final result is likely to be his own failure.  Only when the goal is determined to be a victory, the team can really get the results they want.

    Then Manchester United FC made adjustments.  Can't because the Forest team is home, the offensive is fierce, Manchester United FC will be behind.  He asked the team to press out and use one or two high-quality attacks to set off the spirit of the Forest team.

    However, he had just adjusted less than ten minutes, and the whistle at the end of the first half rang.

    "0:0! Mourinho should be satisfied with this score.  His team can get League Title with the advantage of goal difference as long as they stay in the final round of the league.  "The commentator John.Mortensen said so, but Mourinho must not think so.

    In the locker room, Mourinho made a merciless criticism of the team's performance in the first half.

    "Do you know what kind of competition is this? This is a game that is related to whether our season is a hero or a laughing stock! ”

    Mourinho lost his temper to the players, partly because he felt that in the competition with Twain, these players were far less motivated than the players of the Forest team, which made him feel very shameful.

    In contrast, Twain praised the team's performance in the first half of the field in the locker room.

    Although the quality of the first half of the first half of the offensive is not much, but overall, Nottingham Forest FC has the upper hand.  Twain played hardcore games for the team.  Make Manchester United FC very difficult.

    In addition to praise, Twain did not say too much.  It’s like this is an ordinary league. These people are professional players. They have played countless professional leagues. They have received training in this aspect since they were sensible, so that although the opponent is strong, the meaning is special. But still should be able to cope with it.  Unfortunately, I can't continue to lead them.

    He left the rest of the time to the players.  I pushed the door open and went out.

    In fact, Twain has a lot to say, but he can't say that he is afraid of disturbing the mood and state of the players.  If the players lose the game because of him, he really doesn't know what face to face.

    Twain came alone in the ramp, where the staff saw him and Twain saw them. He waved at the people and gestured nothing.  Why are you doing it, you are just here to breathe.

    With Twain's prestige here, he said so, no one really dared to come and bother him.

    So in the noisy Stadium, he gained a moment of silence.

    at this time.  Twain suddenly wants to smoke.  Since the heart attack, he has stopped smoking. Now it is just ten years since he quit smoking. It is reasonable to say that he will not smoke any more and will not want to smoke any more.  Can be today.  He has such a desire, and wants to give himself a cigarette.

    Pat the pockets, and of course there is nothing.

    Twain, let’s talk.

    Although he will return to this Stadium in the future, it is absolutely impossible to be a Manager.  Are you nostalgic when you leave? Twain found that he was not in love.  Perhaps it is because of the fact that my feelings about this Stadium are too shallow.  If you change to City Ground, maybe he will be quite quite nostalgic.  Before the City Ground was to be demolished, he also drove to make the last one, and met Kenny Burns in the evening.  Talk to him for a while.

    Nowadays, this modern and beautiful Stadium has no way to make him feel the same emotion.

    He still remembers that when he first arrived here, he always sneered at the "historical atmosphere" and thought it was synonymous with decay and aging, so he looked down on the old facilities and buildings in the Club.  Unexpectedly, one day, he also began to miss those "old antiques"…

    It’s because I’ve become as old as the old ones.

    Since it is outdated, it is necessary to withdraw from the stage. At this time, retirement is not a shame…

    When Twain returned to the locker room, the players were ready to play under the direction of Assistant Coach Chrislake.  Twain waited for them at the door of the locker room.  Slap a shoulder.  Send them to Stadium.

    The second half of the game is no different from the first half.  Although Mourinho asked his team to step up the offense, the defense of the Forest team remained solid.  The Forest team also continued to use the first half of the long pass to harass the rear of Manchester United FC.  Don't let them fall out of their nests.

    As time went by, Manchester United FC's offensive began to weaken, because they felt that even if they finally got an average, League Title is theirs.

    The draw is actually the result of Manchester United FC. In front of Champion, even if you can't win Nottingham Forest FC, you are not afraid of anything.  But on the Mourinho side, it is definitely an unacceptable result.  The idea of ​​not saying a draw is too dangerous. Even if it is a personal grudge, Mourinho will never allow his team to compete with the Forest team.

    Twain retired after commanding the game, if the result was a draw.  Can you not defeat him for a lifetime?

    That would not work.

    Mourinho stood up from the coaching seat, screaming with the fans of the entire Forest team, screaming loudly, letting his team strengthen the offensive and attack from both ribs.

    Mourinho is not satisfied with this draw, and the players at Nottingham Forest FC are not satisfied with this 0:0.

    When Mitchel was in a position where he was unmarked, and Balotelli turned a blind eye and chose to shoot himself and shoot the football directly, Mitchel couldn't stand Balotelli's actions and complained to him loudly: " what are you doing? My location is better, you didn't see it? ”

    Balotelli ignored him, but regretted that he had missed a chance by holding his head with both hands.

    His attitude made Mittrice very uncomfortable. Anyway, Balotelli's popularity in the team has always been very general.  He caught up and wanted a few words of theory, but let Wood pull.

    "That bastard, don't know if we have to win ahead now?"Mitchel confessed to Wood.

    "This kind of thing doesn't need you to say.  Wood pointed to the side of the field, and Mitchel squinted and shut up.

    They all saw the scene where the head got up from the coach's seat and walked to the side of the field.

    The next second I saw Twain roaring in the field.

    Mario What are you doing? You should pass the ball! ”His voice can still be heard in such a noisy environment, and it is doubtful whether his body is equipped with a loudspeaker.  "Pass pass pass!! Pass the football to the better teammate! You are no longer a child, this kind of thing still needs me to teach you! ”

    In fact, he has so many words, the player on the field may not be able to hear clearly, but it expresses an attitude – "I am very angry!

    Balotelli is not very popular on the team, even George Wood's face is not given, but for Twain, he is still very respectful.  Seeing Twain lose his temper, he knew that it must have been because he had not passed the ball but chose to shoot.

    So he waved his hand toward Twain, which meant that he must pay attention next time…

    Twain got back to the coach seat and sat down.

    This little detail makes the narrator Mortensen relish.

    "Toni is still the king here, although he did not deliberately show this.  But look at Balotelli, who has always been unruly, so honestly under his hand, no one would doubt that he is a king.  ”

    Balotelli, who was taught by Twain, was a lot more honest. When there was a chance, he passed the ball many times and never dared to eat alone.

    There is really nothing to sing in this last game.  For Manchester United FC fans, it is exciting.

    With the passing of the second half of the game, the scenes on the field gradually increased.  This may be related to the requirements of the coaches of both sides, and the two teams simply played against the attack.

    Wonderful shots have also begun to appear, and of course more exciting saves have occurred.  This must make those neutral fans feel very happy.

    Just though the scene is lively, the score is still 0:0.  No one has scored a goal.

    During the period, Nottingham Forest FC hit a post, and Manchester United FC once hit the crossbar.  The luck of both teams seems to be bad.

    The time of the game was also flying fast in the wonderful confrontation between the two sides.

    It seems that this game will end with a 0:0 score.

    If that's the case, Manchester United FC people will dance happily because they have successfully defended.  Only Mourinho is dissatisfied alone because he will never have a chance to defeat Tony Twain…
