When the time passes through July, it enters August. Nottingham Forest quietly withdrew from the transfer club while the media were still speculating about Tony. By the time Donn was targeting next, Forest had already consolidated the squad and fixed the lineup. The rest of the time will be spent preparing for the new season.

For this reason, apart from his usual training, he does not go to the bar every night to drink, but instead watches the video footage of all their Premier League opponents at home with Don Wo, and studies the summer transfer data of all 19 Premier League teams except for their Forest team themselves, to see if these opponents have strengthened or weakened.

Donn's three-year-long lead in the world played an important role at this time, and everyone couldn't really see through this summer's transfer - I don't know if someone bought by a certain team is worth his value, I don't know if an obscure kid will perform beyond expectations, and I don't know which people will be worth their best and which will become unworthy of the name after a season.

But Donn knows that after a season, he knows who bought right and who lost.

He would also mention the names of some people when discussing the Premier League with Don, but he wouldn't say it too clearly – he was afraid of arousing Don's suspicions. After all, he is from the future, and Tang is just possessed in parallel.

Even if the two of them have the same experience, they can have a tacit understanding beyond the ordinary. But there will still be secrets that belong to each other, and Don En will not tell Don, and I am afraid that Tang will not want Don to know.

※※※ If you look at the score, Tony. Donne's new Forest team, which cost more than £12 million to build, is clearly unsatisfactory.

The results of the five warm-up matches were one one, two draws and two losses. The biggest problem exposed is not that the cooperation is not tacit enough, and the physical recovery is not ideal...... and other conventional problems, but he found that the team did not have many ways to switch from defense to offense, and lacked the most efficient means when attacking. Albertini is the heart of Forest's midfield, but he has not yet fully adapted to the style of English football - to sum it up in one word, this style is "fast", fast in attack, fast in defense, fast in attack, fast in attacking to defending, and maintaining this fast pace in the fierce confrontation, it is a bit difficult for Albertini, who is used to Italian football.

But Donn gave him enough trust that he would not criticise the veteran Italian in his post-match press conference, even if it was clear that he was not performing well and the team lost. If the reporters had to go down on this issue, he would say with a straight face that Albertini was still in the run-in period with the team, and it was normal for him to be in an unstable and unsatisfactory state.

He does not doubt Albertini's ability and professionalism, the only problem is the adaptation to the style of football, which will take time. And he believes that at Albertini's age, there is no need for a manager to spur him on, and the players themselves want to prove themselves more than anyone else.

As a veteran, Hierro has done a good job defensively, but due to his age, he has completely abandoned his offensive ability to concentrate on defense.

Perhaps the most satisfying of the warm-up games in which he joined the team this summer was Australian striker Viduka. After all, whether it is adapting to the Premier League or game experience, age and technical characteristics, they are very compatible with the Forest team. Viduka's final season at Leeds United was a slight drop compared to the 02/03 season, due to the impact of the club crisis – to be honest, there were very few players left to play – and despite that, he scored eleven goals in 30 league appearances.

Viduka scored three goals in five warm-up games and was the team's top scorer in a warm-up game. Due to his excellent form, Crouch could only be used as a substitute for him. He was paired with the more flexible Freddie. Eastwood.

Nicholas. Bendtner and Pete. Crouch will be a substitute up front, and Donn will consider rotating it if necessary, and in the case of not being able to open the situation, it is also a good option to replace Crouch, who has very, very distinctive technical characteristics, and Bendtner, who has excellent headers. After all, the Premier League's opponents are more familiar with Viduka than Bendtner.

The biggest advantage of the Forest team is not that they are young, but that they are too new to their opponents in the Premier League, half of the team are rookies, others are people who have not played in the Premier League, they need to adapt to the Premier League, and the Premier League teams need to be familiar with them as well.

There are four rounds of Premier League matches to play in August, and Forest's schedule is weak at the beginning, and it will be more difficult the further you go. In the first round, Forest will take on Blackburn Rovers away from home. In the second round, back at home against Aston Villa, the opponent's strength has already begun to improve. In the third round, the real tough battle - home to the defending champion Arsenal! In the fourth round, they challenged Everton away.

In fact, the "weakness" mentioned above is relative. Tang En looked at it, and he didn't think that any of these four opponents was "weak". After entering the Premier League, for the Forest team, any opponent can be better than them, and the days of teams in the middle and lower reaches of the League One table playing casually are gone...... On August 8, Donn announced that the team was off for a day, and then he pulled David A. Chris Rac travelled to Cardiff, the capital of Wales, to watch a match at his lucky Millennium Stadium – the England Community Shield in 04/05. He didn't come as a fan of both sides, he was there to get a closer look at Forest's two opponents this season.

With such a promise as a league champion, Don En now doesn't dare to mess around anymore. The Premier League and League One are two completely different competitions, almost two worlds.

Last season, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal created a great record of 38 consecutive league games unbeaten and titled, although this is not a record of unbeaten in the English top flight, but in today's more fierce competition and confrontation, it is not easy to be unbeaten for a season. With such an Arsenal here, does Donn dare to say that he won the league title this season?

Arrogance is not the same as idiocy, he knows what to be crazy about and when to keep a low profile.

Arsenal and Manchester United are the biggest rivals in the Premier League since its inception. The relationship between Manchester United and Arsenal may have been as tense as it has been in the last decade, and the person who changed it all was Gunners manager Arthur of France. Wenger. After winning the Premier League for the first two seasons in a row, Ferguson began to dream of his dynastic dominance in the Premier League, and Blackburn's usurpation in the middle of the game was widely regarded as a flash in the pan of the nouveau riche and could not pose any threat to the Reds, who managed to overtake them the following season.

In the first five years of the Premier League, Manchester United won four titles, and the shine belongs entirely to Alex Ferguson and to his Manchester United team. Just when Ferguson had laid the foundation for his Manchester United dynasty and the next thing was to continue to consolidate it, Frenchman Arsene Wenger arrived. Arsene Wenger, who was still in charge of the team, was unknown, no one knew his name or ability, and some even ridiculed the Frenchman – England and France have always been at odds.

The result? Arsene Wenger won the league title in his first season at Arsenal and they also claimed the double that season, taking home the FA Cup. Arsene Wenger gave the proud Ferguson a blow to the head, and also made the two managers and the two teams tie up from then on.

By the end of the 03-04 season, the next six years, the Premier League was basically a situation of Manchester United and Arsenal competing for supremacy, they won and lost each other, Liverpool completely sank, and Chelsea was not stable enough. Two traditional giants, two managers full of unique charisma, plus a team that has been deeply marked with their personal imprint, the grievances between the two sides run through most of the Premier League.

Therefore, as long as these two teams meet, it must be a hot scene, playing from the field to the off-field, which is addicted to the audience and the media, and makes the FA feel a big headache.

Even if it is a community shield, it is also a battlefield for them to fight. Donn watched the game on the pitch, greedily absorbing everything he could learn - the on-the-spot substitutions of the two veteran coaches, the starting lineups, the actual tactics of the game...... Wait, the outcome of the game is the most secondary.

It wasn't until the end of the game that Donn, who saw the score, remembered that the result did not deviate from the history he remembered - Arsenal beat Manchester United 3-1 to lift the first trophy of the season. Even the players and methods that scored were the same: Arsenal's Gilberto opened the scoring for Arsenal, and then turned down Forest this summer in favor of Manchester United's Allan. Smith scored his first competitive goal since joining the Red Devils to help the team equalise. Then the Spaniard Reyes gave Arsenal the lead again, and finally Manchester United's Silvestre became Arsenal's "hero", and one of his own goals sealed the win.

After the game, the Arsenal players excitedly lifted a silver medal and cheered for their first title of the season. Manchester United's players settled the pitch early, reluctant to serve as a backdrop to their opponents' celebrations, using their own frustration to set off their opponents' joys.

Donn was also not interested in Arsenal's championship celebrations, and he and David Brown. Klithrak poured out of the pitch with the crowd and was about to return to Nottingham by car.

Arsenal fans are still reluctant to disperse in the stadium to celebrate the victory with their team. Almost all of the players are now dejected Manchester United fans, and Donn is surrounded by fans in Manchester United shirts, some of them are silent and frustrated, and some of them are still unwilling to lose, chattering with those around them about the game that has just ended. There was such a fat man next to Donn and Crislak, who came out of the stands all the way out complaining to Donn about how unfair the result of this game was, and finally it was up to them to part ways, and he shrugged again: "Now it's okay, the Community Shield is for them, and the league championship is ours!" ”
