Tony? Donn is once again in the news, but this time it's not just in the local Nottingham or English media, but in the sports pages of major European media.

The focus of the media was not Nottingham Forest's narrow 3-2 home win over Sporting Lisbon, but the controversy that took place in the post-match press conference. The first to poke out the news was the Lisbon media in Portugal, and of course they couldn't say that Jose was wrong? Pecero up, the Portuguese in the news Tony? Don describes him as rude, arrogant, rude, and uncultured hillbilly and hooligan. Twist his words against Pecero a little and post them as evidence.

The Portuguese media fired the first shot, and the tabloids in England categorically had no reason not to fight. The Times fired the first shot at the English media's counterattack. The focus of the English media's counterattack was on Roshenbach's malicious aggression and the smug look on his face afterwards - thanks to the developed television technology, such subtle and fleeting expressions can be captured, and can be repeated for a long time for the audience to "enjoy".

The war of words between the media of the two countries naturally attracted the attention of the media of other countries on the European continent. Two people were seriously injured in a League Cup quarter-final and one was sent off, and after the game, the managers of both sides did not give up and quarreled at the press conference...... That's a lot to see.

In joking, Tony? Donn is now also a well-known head coach in Europe.

It's just that Don doesn't have the heart to joke at all now.

As mentioned earlier, two serious injuries in one game. Fabio of Sporting Lisbon? Roshenbach was diagnosed with a torn ankle ligament, in addition to a slight bone crack, and optimistically estimated, will be out of action for 18 months!

Didn't expect George? Wood's seemingly normal kick could have that power. If Pecero had known the exact news and Roshenbach's recovery time after the game, it would have been possible to play Tony on the spot. Don put on a "Mortal Kombat" in front of reporters, right?

Eighteen months, a full year and a half, and by the time Roshenbach could be back on the court, it was already 2007. Even if he recovers, his state and body will definitely plummet, and he will never be able to return to his former state. Roshenbach is a tough defensive midfielder himself, and he may not know how many opponents he has injured in his career, but he certainly didn't expect to be seriously injured one day.

Jose? Coach Percelo has every reason to be angry, Tony? Don is no exception.

As soon as the press conference ended, he received a personal call from Professor Konstantin with bad news.

Freddy? Eastwood's injury was on the meniscus.

Just hearing this name, Don En's heart jumped wildly. He had never heard this word when he was a fan, and countless players were ruined on this small meniscus.

Eastwood suffered another blow to his right knee with a fractured outer meniscus. Surgery is necessary, and a minimum of five months of recovery is required after treatment.

That means if luck goes well and things go well, Eastwood will have to wait until next season to get back into play. Moreover, the meniscus is basically a special part with little or no regenerative ability, and even if the operation is successful, Eastwood's right leg will be left with a permanent hidden danger, and he may fall down again at any time due to the injury here. Even if he doesn't get injured, the damaged meniscus will greatly limit his performance, and no one knows what kind of performance he will be able to perform when he returns to the court.

It's only been two years since the last serious injury, and another serious injury. Don was worried that Eastwood would collapse before he could recover physically. On the second day of the game, he decided to visit the striker in a private capacity, which he had brought back from a community green space in East London.

He wished he could see Eastwood's playful smile and hear his quick, sharp and cheerful voice.

※※※ Royal College of Medicine, University of Nottingham.

Donn hadn't been to this place for a long time, and the first time he had come was to find someone to give his head an authoritative evaluation, and since then he has met Professor Constantine, a loyal Forest fan, and has abducted two sports injury clinicians along the way. The most recent time seems to be sending a feverish Shania, and the first real "acquaintance" and "getting along" between him and the little girl is in the hospital ward here. Time flies so fast, it's been a year and a half.

Professor Constantine greeted Donn alone at the gate, even though Eastwood was a sports injury and he was not responsible, but as Tony? Donn's personal friend, he still helped a lot in this matter.

"How's he feeling, Professor?" These were the first words of Donn and Konstantin when they met.

"I don't know what to say." Konstantin shook his head, "We told him about the injury and he reacted ...... Well, it must be inappropriate to say that it is happy. In short, he was the one who smiled and comforted him, but I always felt that his emotions were very abnormal, or not the emotions that a normal person should show at that time. You know what I mean, Tony? ”

Donn nodded.

"There have been two serious injuries in the same area, and I'm worried about his career ......," Konstantin said halfway through his sentence, not going on. He knew that Don En must know it in his heart.

Don lowered his head and didn't speak, just quickened his pace.

The two walked silently all the way into the inpatient building, which seemed a little deserted, or quiet, compared with the crowded outpatient building. The footsteps of Donn and Professor Konstantin were clear in the hallway, and finally the footsteps disappeared in front of a door.

"This is it." Konstantin refers to the door with the indicator "402". "I'll go back first, I'll be looking for something, Tony."

Don nodded again, "Thank you, Professor." ”

When he saw Professor Konstantin turn to leave, Don raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door of the ward.

"Please come in." A female voice sounded inside.

Don pushed the door open and saw Serem, who was still peeling apples for Eastwood with a big belly.

Serem leaned his back against the door, and didn't see who was pushing the door in, and Eastwood, who was lying on the bed, sat up: "Chief." ”

The ward was already full of flower baskets, like a flower shop. The largest bouquet was given by Nottingham Forest, along with a number of other Forest fans and players.

"Very good, chief." Seeing that Donn was focused on the flowers, Eastwood quipped, "Even if I retire now, I can still open a flower shop." ”

Don laughed, "That's a cold joke, Freddie. Are you starting to think about your living arrangements after retirement? ”

Hearing that the two were about to start discussing this kind of topic, Serim quickly put the apple down, made an excuse and went out.

Don watched Serem leave, then asked, "Is the baby about to be born?" ”

"Three months to go." Eastwood replied.

"You're going to be a father of two at such a young age......" Don sat down in the chair where Serem had sat, picked up the half-peeled apple, and continued Serem's unfinished work.

"Boss, didn't you want to find one for yourself?" Eastwood laughed.

"Uh...... Haven't found the right one yet, have you? ”

"What's the right fit?"

Donn, who lowered his head and peeled the apple, shook his head: "I don't know. It's a difficult question to answer. Moreover, there is a saying in China that good men have ambitions in all directions. That is to say, men should put their careers first, and they must let go of such things as finding a wife before they achieve their careers. You see, I can't do anything right now. ”

He shrugged and pouted.

"Legendary Coach ......," Eastwood muttered. It was a picture of the future that Donn had painted for him, and it was beautiful. "I want to ...... Boss, maybe you'll have to find another legendary shooter to partner with you. ”

Donn peeled off the last piece of apple and handed it to Eastwood. "You're not confident in your abilities, Freddy?"

"No, I never doubted my abilities. I was just...... I just don't have confidence in my body. Freddie took the peeled apple and stared at it in amazement. I've been able to play professional football since my first injury, so I'm very satisfied. Boss, you've helped me achieve a dream that I can only think about once in a while, and I've won a championship trophy, which is very lucky compared to the guys I've known at Grace Sport. There are people who love football and have a healthy body, but they can't even touch the skin of honor. And me? There is also a champion, played in European competitions, played in the English top flight, scored goals......"

Tang En waited quietly for him to finish speaking, then put away the fruit knife, looked at him and asked, "Do you know the result of yesterday's game?" ”

Freddie nodded: "Serem bought me a lot of newspapers, and I also watched the TV news. We won, which was good, but unfortunately we conceded two away goals. ”
