In midfield, Albertini also retired from the Italian national team early, George? Wood was not selected for Christian Eriksen's England squad and, despite Ribery's impressive Premier League season has not caught the eye of French boss Dommenech. Ashley? Yang and Aaron? Lennon is only playing for England's youth team. Arteta, a player who has been adrift abroad for a long time, has never been selected for the Spanish national team at all.

Striker. Viduka remains the leading scorer for the Australian national team, but Australia has basically no opponents in the Oceania division, and he is more likely to go back on holiday than to play. Nicholas? Bendtner was called up to the Danish national team, but it's hard to say if he can play, maybe just two games on the bench? Peter? Crouch did get Erikson's idea, and the media reported on it. However, he did not appear in the squad for the national team in this game.

In this way, only Van der Sar and Viduka have actually left the Wilford training base. The Forest squad remained very intact, allowing Donn to practice formation tactics and make arrangements for the surname. Compared to the other two rivals, the Forest suffered the least damage.

You know, when the league game resumes on April 3, Forest will host their direct rivals Everton at home. It won't be an easy game...... Because Eastwood was absent due to injury, Donn fielded a new forward combination, unfortunately there were four forwards, one injured, two gone, and only one Crouch. Tang En couldn't train and cooperate with all his strength in these twelve days, so he could only rely on the tacit understanding they had accumulated in his usual training. Although Bendtner was delighted to be selected for the Danish national team at such a young age and was eager to play for the Danish team. Before leaving, Donn also encouraged Bendtner, hoping that he would behave well, but in reality? Don would have liked Bendtner to sit on the bench for two games so that he could get a healthy Bendtner by the time the international competition is over. Forest have only three players left in the front line, and they can't afford to be injured anymore.

Against Everton, Done will start a healthy Bendtner and a healthy Crouch, with Viduka on the bench depending on whether he needs to play.

In Donn's view, Bendtner could replace Viduka as a strong center forward in the team. And what about Crouch? Although he is the tallest, he is not the type of strong center. He has good technique at his feet, which is especially important for a two-metre-tall striker.

The arrangement of the midfield, the two full-backs remain the same, is the team's main force Ribery and Ashley? Poplar. In the middle of midfield, Donn made a change from the UEFA Cup - Albertini rotated for the game. George, who has been suspended for more than half a month because of the League Cup? Wood is back in the starting line-up, and he is joined by Mikel, who started for the first time in the last UEFA Cup game. Arteta.

This arrangement, Donn played a little - he used the core of the Everton midfield in his memory to deal with the current Everton. It must be interesting, he believed. But whether Moyes will find it interesting, Don Enko doesn't know...... Wood's mission was simple, and when Albertini was in the past, he was responsible for protecting the captain's back. This time, it was Arteta, and his mission remained the same, which was to protect Arteta's back and step forward to support Arteta when necessary.

At the back, Hierro was rotated, and Matthew? Epson and Piquee are partnered, with the two full-backs unchanged.

In the past 12 days, the Forest team has used this formation to practice repeatedly. And not just to deal with this game against Everton, but more importantly, the purpose is that for most of the next eight league games of the season, Forest will use this squad to finish the season, with only minor minor adjustments.

In the past 12 days, Donn and the Forest coaching staff have used all the time and means they can use. As early as the day after the loss, before heading to the airport, Donn held a simple coaching staff meeting in his hotel room. At the meeting, he generously admitted his strategic mistakes. Gave up the league, and as a result, the League Cup did not achieve any good results as hoped - for Donne, the League Cup runner-up and the League Cup round of 16 are the same grade, as long as they do not win the championship, they are not "good results".

Afterwards, Donn told the coaching staff that the team's goal had changed and that they were back in the league again. The team is still league-based. I have to say that the coaching staff of Nottingham Forest may only be in the middle of the league, but everyone is very good. No one laughed at Donn for his own self-inflicted injury, and no one complained about going around in circles in the League Cup. For them, the team's collective achievements are far more important than the accolades of any one individual, and they do what is good for the Forest team.

Don knows what kind of people these coaches are, but it's a pity...... Now is not the time to say thank you, after all, their goal has not been achieved.

During the day at the team's training base, Donn and all members of the coaching staff led the team to train, study how to arrange tactics, ensure the health of the players, and pay attention to their physical condition...... Countless small details are handled by special people, and Don only needs to plan as a whole. However, when he just lost a few games, his role as a coach may not be reflected in the specific training of the team, but in terms of psychological adjustment.

He needs to convince everyone that these failures are just small slopes, and as long as they use a little force and lift their legs, it is not a big deal. And for Donne, that's probably what he's best at...... When I got home in the evening, Don was not idle, and the bar was completely absent during this time. When I went home, I studied every opponent with Don from the beginning of the meal, and I didn't let go of any detail. Don's training tasks in the youth team are not heavy, after all, the youth team and the first team are still very different. So he will help Don collect a lot of video materials from his competitors. After eating, the two would sit in front of the TV and watch the footage of the team's games over and over again.

Although Don is not a first-team coach, he is doing what anyone on the first-team coaching staff should do.

Losing the League Cup, if you don't want nothing this season, then everyone has to work hard and fight with all their might, and there is no way back now.

It's time to sprint.
