Chapter 179: Of course I know to rush forward!
Stadium of Light.
Sunderland's clash with Nottingham Forest is in full swing.
In the Nottingham Forest coach's box, coach Hart was sitting there, his expression was a little serious and complicated, thinking that after 90 minutes, Nottingham Forest would be relegated, and it was inevitable that he felt a little lonely.
Nottingham Forest is a team with a glorious past, having made great achievements in the 70s and 80s, winning the European Championship two times in a row.
Before the Super League, they were strong top teams, but then they fell under fierce competition, and after hovering in the first and second divisions for several years, they simply 'resided' in the second division.
Hart took over Nottingham Forest in 2001.
At that time, Nottingham Forest still had promotion hopes, and he also led the team to the best result in recent seasons - sixth place in the league, which fell in the promotion play-offs that season, but at least let Nottingham Forest fans see the hope of promotion, but then Nottingham Forest's results got worse and worse.
From the top of the Championship to the middle of the Championship, from the middle of the Championship to the team that barely relegated.
Now Nottingham Forest are facing relegation, which is actually expected.
Hart wasn't surprised.
In the four seasons in charge, Hart has witnessed the decline of the team, but this has little to do with his coaching ability, it is completely a problem for the whole club, for example, in four seasons, Nottingham Forest has invested less than 2 million pounds in the transfer market, and they have obtained more than 12 million pounds by selling players. Nottingham Forest FC is still in deficit.
For four seasons, Nottingham Forest's original main team, those who could leave left, those who couldn't leave were already old, and the potential young talents in the team were also sold out by the club one by one.
The current Nottingham Forest squad is made up entirely of veterans, free transfer players and young players with little potential.
The competitiveness of this lineup is too poor!
Hart felt helpless.
Since Christmas, Hart has had the idea of leaving, if there is no money to invest, Nottingham Forest will definitely sink, although the club has no intention of letting him leave, but Hart knows that it is only because his contract expires in one year, and the salary level is relatively low, and today's football to hire a good coach, at least two main players have to pay the salary.
Hart hasn't decided whether he's going to leave yet, and the game in front of him is very disappointing.
Nottingham Forest has been confirmed to be relegated, but the team's performance is actually not bad, and the players are also working hard, but Sunderland's squad is too strong, and the away game also makes the team a little uncomfortable.
"If you lose, you lose!"
Hart doesn't care about the game, he is not willing to lose, but he can only accept the situation that there is no way, anyway, the last league game, the team will definitely be relegated, and the loss is nothing for Nottingham Forest.
At this time, assistant coach Carral walked over with Hart's mobile phone in his hand, "Mr. Hart, you received a text message. ”
Hart waved his hand.
He didn't have the heart to look at his phone.
"Mr. Hart, you'd better take a look, it's the Millwall manager who sent it."
"Millwall manager?"
A confident young figure appeared in Hart's mind, and he picked up his phone to look at it.
"You should tell the team to pay attention to the defense on the left flank and don't let the opponent cross easily?"
"What does that mean?" Hart wondered if the young Chinese was trying to tell him that Sunderland would pose a threat on the left side of the team.
But......
Hart frowned as he watched the game.
If another manager sent him that kind of text, he would definitely reply, "I don't have to interfere with my game!" ”
Zhang Yang is different.
Hart had a good impression of Zhang Yang, a capable young man, just look at Millwall's brilliant results.
Millwall are not much better than Nottingham Forest, they belong to the same kind of team with financial problems and no promotion hope at all, but this young man allowed Millwall to complete the promotion one round earlier.
That's amazing!
Other than that...... That's right!
Millwall have a chance to fight for the title, provided Sunderland can't beat Nottingham Forest.
"I see!" Hart understood.
The other party must have watched the Nottingham Forest game, probably found the team's problems, and rushed to send a text message to remind them.
Hart could understand that feeling.
Millwall had a chance to compete for the title, but Sunderland had every chance to win the game, and the opportunity was not in Millwall's hands, but in the hands of Sunderland or Nottingham Forest.
But Nottingham Forest?
Hart shook his head unconsciously, he didn't think there was any hope for an equaliser. So...... It doesn't seem like a good idea to leave the opportunity in the hands of this young man?
Nottingham Forest's game, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, even he doesn't have much to win, so let this Chinese command, even if Nottingham Forest loses the game and Millwall fails to win the championship, he probably won't be too disappointed.
After all, he had a chance.
So Hart smiled and replied, "I see, thank you!" If you have any suggestions, you can send them directly to me. ”
Then Hart handed the phone back to Carlar, "You go and remind the team to pay attention to the left side of the defense, don't let the opponent cross easily, and if you get any confidence, you just do it." ”
Hart decided not to meddle.
Caral was stunned, he didn't expect that he would receive such an order, listen to other head coaches, and send instructions by text message?
"I'm not dreaming!"
After making sure that he was not in a dream, Caral did so anyway, and he went to the sidelines and told his players to 'try to stop the opponent from getting up on the left', and then kept looking at his phone.
Carar also found it very interesting, "That young manager of Millwall, will he still send a text message?" ”
————
When the whole Millwall team reappeared, Zhang Yang noticed a text message from Hart.
"I see, thanks! If you have any suggestions, you can send them directly to me. ”
Seeing this text message, Zhang Yang immediately smiled.
Nottingham Forest are at an absolute disadvantage, but as long as they follow his advice on the game, there may still be a little more chance, and no matter what, a chance is better than nothing.
As soon as the second half began, Zhang Yang turned on his tablet and watched the live broadcast of the match between Sunderland and Nottingham Forest, and then he found that Nottingham Forest had not scored a second goal.
"Hart must have followed my advice."
The camera on the screen points to the Nottingham Forest dugout, where an unknown assistant coach is standing on the sidelines, who appears to be holding a mobile phone in his hand, and Hart is sitting in the coaching position.
"I see!"
Zhang Yang almost understood that no matter who in the Nottingham Forest team would direct the game, as long as he followed the advice, it would be good, and he immediately used his 'prediction' ability to judge the match between Sunderland and Nottingham Forest.
Nothing happened for the next five minutes.
No, that's the case for Zhang Yang, for others, the Nottingham Forest goal can be described as dangerous, but Sunderland couldn't break the goal.
Zhang Yang didn't care, so he paid attention to his game.
In Millwall's game, the suspense became very small, Millwall scored two goals in the first half, and the second half just started, and Burnley did not seem to have any intention of attacking aggressively.
The game between the two sides seemed to be motivating, but the players on the field were not motivated.
While the Millwall players were playing, they were also 'concerned' about the game between Sunderland and Nottingham Forest, while the Burnley players were completely thinking that the game would be a long holiday, hoping that it would be a holiday to end quickly.
With this mentality of players from both teams, the game seems to be intense, but in fact, both sides are dragging their feet.
"There shouldn't be any suspense."
Zhang Yang paid attention to the game, put all his mind on the tablet, and ten minutes later, he found an opportunity, and sent a text message, "Pay attention to let your No. 12 striker play the right side!" ”
Zhang Yang was spotted on the right side of Nottingham Forest's kick.
Caral frowned when he saw the text message, but he did so, he reminded Bent Alli to pay attention to running more on the right side, and three minutes later Nottingham Forest's clearance did kick the ball to the right side, but unfortunately Bent Alli was a little far away and couldn't catch the ball at all.
"It's a pity!"
The next ten minutes were uneventful.
With 70 minutes into the game, Sunderland had a clear advantage on the pitch as they completely overpowered Nottingham Forest and some Sunderland fans began to celebrate the title early.
Zhang Yang's heart was full of regret.
As long as he is not at the scene of the game, he can be a 'tinker' and make Nottingham Forest pay attention to not letting the opponent score, but it is too difficult to get Nottingham Forest to score, and the other two 'supernatural powers' cannot be used, so there is a lack of effective means to help score goals.
Zhang Yang can only try to pay more attention.
As the time slowly passed, Zhang Yang was also a little anxious, and he accepted the second place in the league in his heart, but when the game between Sunderland and Nottingham Forest reached the 84th minute, he saw an eye-catching opportunity.
A text message was sent out immediately.
"Let your number 12 striker keep rushing forward on the counter-attack, and maybe find an opportunity in front of goal!"
When Caral saw the text message, he shrugged helplessly, he didn't think it made any sense, "Let the striker rush forward?" What's the difference between this and nonsense", but thinking of Hart's explanation, he still found Bent Ali and conveyed the words.
Bent Ali was a little baffled.
"Rushing forward when you counterattack? Of course I know to rush forward! Bengt Ali thought so and went back to the field.
