The defeat to Fulham was considered an upset by the Nottingham media, but the rest of the London media did not see it that way. They believe that the difference between Fulham and Nottingham Forest is not big enough to be an upset, but they also admit that Fulham's win over Nottingham Forest was not expected before the game.

A day after Donne's side lost the game, United also won 21 away at Watford. They are the only team to have won all three league games so far, so it is no surprise that they continue to sit at the top of the league.

Tony Towne still hasn't tasted the top spot in the league after all......

After losing this game, Forest also fell from second to fifth, with the likes of Portsmouth and Aston Villa ahead of them. The only consolation for Donn is that they are still holding Chelsea under pressure.

And for Tang, the only good thing this week is that the China TV crew is finally gone, and his private life can return to normal. But now that he's moved out of Donn, there's no reason for him to move back in.

Actually, it's good that everyone has their own private life, even if they live under the same roof. If Shania comes to play with Donn, even if the two of them don't feel anything wrong. Don himself will not be uncomfortable when the light bulb is made.

In September, in the fourth round of the league, Nottingham Forest beat Blackburn Rovers 21 at their home stadium, with three wins and one loss, and finished fourth with nine points, continuing to hold Chelsea below.

Except for a small setback, it seems. Everything is still normal.

The results of the group draw for the Champions Cup have come out and it is time to focus on the Champions Cup.

Speaking of this lottery ceremony, Don also went, and the situation was different from a year ago.

A year ago, Donn was a nobody in the European Champions Cup, and when he came to the draw ceremony, he sat alone in the corner, only a few coaches from England came to say hello, neither the media nor the head coaches of other countries paid attention to this somewhat gloomy young man.

And this time? As soon as he got out of the car, he was photographed by the media who had been waiting for a long time, and the flashing lights were in a row. Almost the night in front of the hotel is shaken into day.

Followed by Don was AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, and was also taken aback, thinking that something big had happened. When it turned out to be just the commotion caused by Don in front, he pouted and walked around the other party.

Donn looked sideways at Ancelotti. Then wave to the media. Walked in too.

After entering the venue. His desire for a quiet rest has become a luxury. Coaches kept coming to talk to him and get to know people he didn't know...... will come over and have a few words. Donn also enjoyed the feeling of being a central figure in the coaching.

Of course, most of the people who come here are the managers of non-big teams. The big teams also have the reserve of the big teams. For example, the head coach of the Italian Milan duo did not want to be friendly with Donn, especially Inter Milan coach Mancini, as a native who was eliminated by the Forest team last season, he really didn't have a good impression of Donn seeing him so proud now.

Another person who doesn't like Donn is Barcelona coach Rijkaard. Everyone remembers the scene that happened after last season's Champions League final, although on the surface it was not a face for UEFA that Donn handed over the silver medal to the caddie. But in fact, as the champion of the victory over Forest, Barcelona was also implicated. Donne's face was put on the face of UEFA and Barcelona at the same time.

Ryjack Calder unceremoniously criticized Donn in an interview, saying that he "has never seen such a degrading manager", "England always claims to be a gentleman, is this the performance of a gentleman", "If my opponent wins, all I have is congratulations, and I will never do such an undignified thing"...... It can be seen that he is angry.

Rijkaard, of course, had reason to be angry, and Donne's performance made people feel as if the Barcelona title had come from the wrong place. It's an insult to Barcelona, not to mention Rijkaard's upset. FC Barcelona executives and ordinary fans alike are upset with Donn – what are you? How dare you point fingers at us like that? If you lose, you lose, and if you can't afford to lose, don't play!

So at this draw ceremony, Barcelona coach Rijkaard and Nottingham Forest coach Tony Downe did not meet at all.

Originally, these were the highlights of this lottery ceremony, but unfortunately the two did not have any stories in the venue, which disappointed the media somewhat.

Before the draw, there is one more point to watch. As UEFA's Tony Towne, who was the face of UEFA after the Champions League final, will his team be secretly "retaliated" by UEFA in the new season? Of course, UEFA will not admit to "revenge", but can anyone believe them? Saying that the draw was fair and open, why did Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, who are regarded by UEFA as a flood beast, meet Barcelona again and again?

Now, UEFA has one more untamable figure to be regarded as a flood beast - Tony Towne and his Nottingham Forest.

Johansson must have complained, why is England so troublesome?

But with the exception of England, where managers are empowered to play in a football environment, it's unlikely that there will be such a self-centred manager anywhere else.

The media speculated that UEFA would secretly use some means to put Nottingham Forest in the group of death, so that they could not qualify from the group. After all, even if they finish second last season, Forest are not yet seeded, they are placed in the third tier

There is a high probability of going to the group of death.

Even the club's chairman, Evan Dogerty, reminded Donn to be prepared for the worst.

"Didn't Eren go open the joints?" Don had questions.

"PR is not that simple, you have to know that dealing with those people is not easy, it's difficult." Evan pouted at UEFA official Nunu, who was sitting on the stage. "So, no matter how well Allen's job is, you have to prepare for the worst."

Tang En stared at the group of officials who should already be called "politicians" and nodded: "I understand. ”

The two of them stopped talking, each with their own thoughts, and quietly watched how the hands of fate played with the ball in the box.

As soon as the draw results came out, everyone was taken by surprise, including Donn and Evan.

If this time Mourinho's Chelsea and bitter rivals Barcelona were re-grouped by UEFA naked, in Group A, causing a lot of uproar in the venue, it would be the first show of the day. Then the next scene was even more unexpected by everyone.

Nottingham Forest were placed in an incredibly weak group!

"Group C: PSV Eindhoven, Bordeaux,

Not to mention the media who followed the draw, even the coaches of the teams present did not expect this result.

Before each draw, the head coach of each team will inevitably have his own little calculations, hoping to avoid strong opponents and meet weak teams to qualify. There are many people who hope that the difficult Nottingham Forest will be placed in the group of death, and then go to the death with the strong teams, no matter which two teams qualify in the end, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation.

I didn't expect ...... UEFA not only did not secretly punish Nottingham Forest. Instead, it did Tony Don a great favor!

The group is arguably the weakest of the eight, and if nothing else, Nottingham Forest will have no problem qualifying.

How so? is also the person who has caused UEFA a headache, Mourinho has been secretly suppressed, and Tony Downe has taken advantage of it.

Everyone turned their doubtful eyes to UEFA president Johansson on the stage, but from that smiling fat face, no one could get the answer they wanted.

"It seems that Alan has succeeded." Don said with a smile to Evan next to him.

Although he felt a little strange, Evan still smiled and responded: "That's fine." We don't have to put too much effort into the group stage. ”

"I'll have to thank him when I go back."

"Don't trouble him again, he'll thank God." Evan smiled helplessly.

Don laughed. There was a lot of laughter. No matter what kind of gaze the people next to him look at, they didn't hide their pride and excitement at all.

"The draw for the group stage of the Champions Cup is over. If there is one of the biggest winners in this draw, I don't think anyone will dispute it – without a doubt Nottingham Forest manager Tony Downe. His side have drawn a draw that is too good to be good, and in Group C, which is arguably the weakest of the strongest, Nottingham Forest have a bright future of qualifying. "That's what most of the sports news has been doing since then. The accompanying picture is the scene of Don smiling at the venue.

The spring breeze is proud. Mr. Donn. Be sure to hold on to the reins......

Having won the Champions Cup draw, Nottingham Forest looked as if they were going to prove to the world that they are indeed capable of competing for the Champions League this season. In the first match of the Champions League group stage, Nottingham Forest beat Indhoven 1-0 away from home.

The game was not played beautifully, which was in line with Donn's consistent principle of "only pursuing points, not the scene".

PSV Eindhoven lost frustratedly, and from the perspective of the field, they had no fewer chances than Forest, but they couldn't take them. Van Nistelrooy had three shots on goal throughout the game. Just scored a goal.

Perhaps it has something to do with Donne's pre-season declaration, Nottingham Forest don't need Donn's pre-match mobilization to play the Champions Cup, and the players are particularly energetic.

There are no problems with the form of the players, the fitness of the team, the tactics of the coach, and Donn is full of confidence in the prospects of the Champions League.

Fresh off the Champions League, back in the league, favourites Nottingham Forest host this season's promoted Maredding.

Before the crossing, Donn knew almost nothing about Reading, and it wasn't until after that famous game that Reading's name was engraved in his mind and lingered.

Because I was a Chelsea fan for a while. Donne still has a good feeling about Chelsea as a team - of course, now that he is the head coach, the fans' minds are about to be thrown to Java, and Chelsea are now his opponents.

Reading ousted two Chelsea goalkeepers in the famous big game. The main goalkeeper Petr Cech let Reading player Hunt hit a knee with a broken skull five minutes and fell unconscious, even making Mourinho worry about whether he would survive. Then, a minute before the end of the game, substitute Cudicini knocked Reading defender Sonko unconscious. In desperation, Mourinho could only use captain John Terry to wear the goalkeeper shirt and make a cameo appearance in goal.

The match caused an uproar in international football, and the violence on the English football pitch was once again recognized by the world.

Done, who was still an ordinary Chinese fan at the time, also remembered Reading and their blue striped jersey that resembled prison uniforms.

Don didn't know if the impact of his time crossing would be brought to this game. After all, after the crossing, his team has played against Reading many times, and he still has a personal grudge with that manager, and it is almost impossible to finish tomorrow's game with a friendly match. He knows Koper and he won't miss a single chance to get revenge on himself if he can beat him at Forest's home turf

, which was perfect for Koper.

Because of this consideration, Don En has this kind of worry. As far as he can remember, the game between Reading and Chelsea took place this season, so will the risk now be passed on to Forest? After all, Reading and Chelsea have no grievances. Will Cech and Cudicini be spared?

None of this is clear to Don at the moment, but one thing he does know is that Reading's rough style of play has not changed in any way because of his crossing, and when he played in the First Division, he was well aware of Reading's style. Now that they have been promoted to the Super League, they have intensified their style in order to survive in this brutal league.

With only four rounds of the league played, promoted Maledein already gave a full picture of what the football they were playing was like – players had received red cards in four league games.

Don is very worried about this, and now his team is no longer the small team in the first division who is not afraid of anything after taking off his shoes, and dares to fight any opponent with his sleeves up, regardless of tomorrow. The two stunned Redding can afford to fight, they are not afraid of anything, and they have nothing to lose. Nottingham Forest, who have to fight on multiple fronts and have only 23 players in the first team, can't afford to fight......

If you hurt someone, you are missing a powerful combat power.

During the training session the day before this game, Donn had been frowning, making everyone think that he was not satisfied with the training situation.

In fact, he was worried about what Reading would do in this game. If he hadn't known ahead of Reading for Chelsea, he probably wouldn't have thought about what hadn't happened yet. Now that I know it, it's different, and there is always a faint worry in my heart.

It's just that he can't tell others yet, even the closest Tang, he can't say that he knows those things in advance, so I hope everyone pays attention to their own safety.

To be on the safe side. Do you want everyone to give up a positive attitude towards the game? Don can't say that either, because it would make the players and coaches wonder why Donn, who never gave up, was suddenly afraid of a promoted team.

After thinking about it for almost a day, Don figured it out. It's not a good habit to worry about things that haven't happened yet, but it's not right to do nothing and wait for something bad to happen.

So when it came time to announce tomorrow's squad, Eastwood, who was in good form, was not selected.

Eastwood had had three surgeries on his leg, and Don was reluctant to let him do it a fourth. It's a protection for Eastwood, but do the players appreciate it?

Eastwood just shrugged his shoulders and looked nothing bad when he learned he wouldn't have to come with the team for tomorrow's game.

This made Don breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. But let's talk to Eastwood. So as not to repeat Anelka's mistakes.

"Freddy, after training, you stay for a while. Others, disband! ”

The team-mates looked at Donn and Eastwood in confusion and left the training ground. After the coaching staff is gone. There were only two left, Donn and Eastwood.

"Wouldn't it be strange? Why didn't I make you to the squad? Don asked with a smile, trying to make the atmosphere as easy as possible.

"It's really weird. But I think you must have thought about it. Eastwood's empathetic answer touched Donn.

"Well, I did think about it...... You know Reading are rough teams and I don't want you to take that risk. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Eastwood looked at Donn and was silent for a moment: "If anyone else knows about this, they will think I'm a deserter, right?" ”

Don secretly screamed in his heart. He forgot that Eastwood was a man with a lot of self-esteem.

"It's not that simple...... Freddy. Don quickly explained, "No one will think you're a deserter. It's also a normal tactic to protect important players before important games. ”

"An important game?"

"In the sixth round of the league, we played Arsenal away." Donn said.

This is indeed a very compelling reason. Eastwood was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I see, sir." ”

Done's nervous expression finally eased, he laughed, and patted Eastwood on the shoulder, "Remember what I said to you?" I'm going to be a legendary coach, I'm going to be a legendary shooter. We're just getting started, and I don't want you to risk anything like this. An opponent like Reading doesn't deserve our strongest squad to deal with...... Ha ha! ”

Eastwood also laughed, and of course he knew about an opponent like Reading. They have played each other many times in the First Division, and they have not won against Nottingham Forest once, and no matter how arrogant that Mr. Koper is, the final defeat must be Reading's own.
