Chapter 659 Juan Wuhong Decisive Battle at the Top of Dream Theater

"We're going to win the double."

Below these words was a large photo of Tony Twain. He raised his head slightly, opened his mouth, and raised one hand. There was an unconcealable arrogance on his face.

Of course, this photo was definitely not taken by Tang En at the press conference yesterday, it was a line selected by the reporters from previous photos of Tang En.The effect is just right.

Outside the noisy Old Trafford, many fans were queuing up to enter the stadium. Almost every Forest fan had a copy of this newspaper.

They just like to see Tony Twain being arrogant, especially in front of the old strong team Manchester United.This will make them feel particularly at ease before the game.

I wonder if the players of Nottingham Forest also have this idea...

※ ※ ※

The players of Nottingham Forest are warming up on the field, and the fans entering the field one after another make Old Trafford gradually noisy.

Tony Twain had no one waiting in the locker room this time. He was standing on the sidelines, watching Manchester United warm up with great interest.Other coaches are busy leading the Forest players to warm up.

Twain seldom comes out when the team is warming up. Usually, he makes his preparations in the locker room. Even if he is fine, he chooses to rest there.However, today he wants to see Old Trafford before the game, and take a look at Manchester United and Ferguson by the way.

Ferguson was next door, in front of the coaching bench of the home team. Like Twain, he put his hands in his pockets and watched the players warming up on the pitch.

His intuition told him that someone was watching him, so he turned his head to look for Tony Twain who happened to be looking at him.

The eyes of the two people collided, and neither of them moved away first, so they had to move away at the same time.Because I always look at each other like this, it feels weird...

Chris Rack came down from the field and walked to Tang En's side to get water to drink.

"There are so many people." He noticed that Tang En was looking at the stands, so he said something casually.

"The capacity of 6 people is indeed much larger than that of the city stadium..." Tang En just said casually.It's not the first time to play at Old Trafford, so don't be so surprised.

Chris Lack turned back to the court again.

Tang En no longer stayed on the sidelines, he turned and returned to the locker room.Judging from the observation just now, Cristiano Ronaldo's condition is as good as ever.It will be a big problem in the game at that time.

This season, Portugal's Ronaldo has scored [-] goals in the league.With the last round of the league remaining, it is basically determined to win the Premier League top scorer award this season.

This season, Ferguson successfully transformed Cristiano Ronaldo into the core of the team's offense, and even Rooney had to make sacrifices for it.But Rooney has learned how to assist his teammates, not as independent as before.

Manchester United this season is extremely strong and could have created better results than it is now.pity……

Not long after Tang En returned to the locker room, he heard dense footsteps outside, and the sound became louder and louder.He knew the players were done warming up.

He straightened his back.

The door was pushed open, George Wood walked in first, and the others followed behind him.

Don was the last to come in, and he was responsible for closing the door.

As soon as the players came in, they were busy changing their jerseys. Everyone was busy doing their own things, and Twain was not in a hurry to speak.

Seeing that everyone was busy with their own affairs, he stood up and pressed his palms down: "Be quiet, guys. I have something to say to you."

The locker room gradually became quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Tony Twain, their leader, standing by the door.

"There are still 10 minutes, and this season's league is all over. We have worked hard for a season, and we can finally reap the fruits of ninety-ten minutes. Our team, if we have any regrets together , just haven't won the league championship yet. Now is a great opportunity." Tang En pointed to the door.

"Yesterday I said that the goal of the Forest team this season is the double crown, which scared many people. They thought I was bragging again. Because the opponents in the last round of the league and the final of the Champions League are strong teams. But I I don’t think it’s a big deal, if the opponent is not strong enough, maybe I’m not strong enough myself.”

The players laughed.

"The opponent is strong enough, and our championship is enough to win... I said, does the goal of the double crown scare you?" He looked at his players.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Eastwood stood up. "Being intimidated by the number of champions, we will all be laughed at if it spreads."

"Yes, yes, winning the double crown is something we wish for, how can we be intimidated?" The others echoed.

Hearing these answers, Twain laughed loudly: "We really belong to the same team! I said I wanted to win the double championship, but people outside said that Tony Twain was crazy, either crazy or stupid. They didn't Believe it... No, it's not that they don't believe it, they are afraid..." At this point, Tang En grinned.

"What are they afraid of? Afraid that we really won two championships, which will make them look bad. It must be the end of the world for someone as arrogant as me to win the double championship."

The players laughed after hearing this.

Tony Twain never concealed his arrogant character, whether it was facing the media or his players.So when he said that he was such an arrogant person, the players would all smile.The boss is indeed very arrogant, but if you stand in the same position as him, in the same trench, then you will feel that his arrogance is a great refreshing feeling for you.

"Whether we can win two championships, today's game is the key. If we win the double championship, some people will be afraid... then let them be afraid!"

"That's right, boss!" A group of people became excited like wolves. The league championship is their only regret. This time is the closest to this goal, and they can't let it go anyway.

"I don't know what the future holds! Maybe we will win many championships together in the future, but that's for the future. Now, since the league championship is only 10 minutes away from us, we have no reason to let her go. She is holding on tightly, and others want to grab it? Then let them pay the price!"

※ ※ ※

"I definitely don't accept the result of losing at home." In Manchester United's dressing room, Ferguson was also mobilizing before the final battle. "This matter is not discussed. We lost too many important games at the end of the league, otherwise we can also consider the double crown at this time. If we lose the previous games, we will lose, but this game must not be lost! What does this game mean to us?"

Most of the players didn't say a word. Ferguson's title of "hair dryer in the locker room" is not for nothing.Everyone knows that they were originally the team with the highest calls to win the league and the Champions League champions most likely to reach the final.As a result, it is now reduced to the point where they have to compete with Nottingham Forest for the league title... Sir Alex Ferguson is not in a good mood at all, so no one wants to get into trouble.

"Do your best to win Nottingham Forest! This is our home ground, there is nothing to worry about. I don't want anyone to think that a draw can win the championship. We have played against them not once or twice. Nottingham Forest is What kind of opponents are there? I think you should be very clear—remember, don’t give them a single chance!”

Ferguson clenched his fists. At the age of 66, he didn't look old at all at this time.His face was flushed, his eyes were piercing, and his movements were large and powerful.

In an interview with a French-language radio station at the end of last year, he said that he may have to work for another three years before retiring.Later, for unknown reasons, he denied that he had said such a thing.Recently, after Manchester United was knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea, he once again mentioned his retirement time in an interview. Just tomorrow.He hopes to find a suitable time to leave, such as because of physical reasons or finding a qualified successor, or to win the European Champions Cup again.

His last condition is most likely because he was just eliminated by Chelsea, and he vented his dissatisfaction.No one thinks he's really going to leave just because he won a championship.Because when Keane was still at Manchester United a few years ago, it was rumored that he was going to retire and make way for Keane.The results of it?When the year he said came, he suddenly announced that he would renew his contract with Manchester United and stayed again.

He is simply reluctant to part with the Manchester United team, so he said that he needs to find a qualified successor, otherwise he will consider retiring from this position unless his health fails.

It's normal for a coach to have this kind of thinking after working in a team for more than 20 years.

It's just that he is old after all, looking at his excited appearance today, it makes people sweat his heart...

※ ※ ※

There was a huge uproar in the "Dream Theater" Old Trafford stands. In fact, the starting players of both sides were still waiting in the corridor.Only the substitute players and coaches from both sides came out.

Ferguson came out with a suit and leather shoes, chewing gum, his face flushed, and his appearance caused tens of thousands of Manchester United fans to cheer in unison.

In this dream theater, there are countless world-renowned football stars performing here, and people as famous as Beckham have to bow their heads in front of one person in the end.Get rid of Paul Ince, get rid of Stam, get rid of David Beckham, get rid of Roy Keane... None of these things will affect his status in the minds of these Dream Theater audiences.Because fans in England know one thing better than fans elsewhere - a good manager is more valuable than a good player.

What's more, Ferguson has worked here for 21 years.

In 21 years United have gone from an alcoholic club of the Atkinson era to one of the most famous football clubs in the world. When Ferguson first came to power in 1986, the once-brilliant Red Devils had no courage, management was chaotic, and the bus driver was actually a fan of Manchester City, the arch-rival in the same city. Now Manchester United has become a model for European professional football club operations, from the Far East to the Caribbean. , Manchester United footprints all over the world.Even when Evan and Allen talked about the future of Nottingham Forest when they approached Twain, they were referring to the current Manchester United. How amazing is it that they can be used as a teaching material by their opponents?In the past 21 years, the Red Devils Manchester United have changed bosses, faced crises, and stars have come and gone, but only one person's name runs through it all.

This man is standing on the sidelines now, listening to the cheers for him.

Tony Twain came out a little behind Ferguson. The cheers on the scene hadn't been heard yet. He knew that the cheers were not for himself, and definitely not, because no fans would give the cheers to the team that was about to compete for the league championship with his own team. enemy.

Ferguson raised his hand and waved to the surrounding stands, without stopping any longer, he went straight to his own coaching bench.

Tang En didn't follow him to his coach's bench. He stood where he was and turned his head to look at the man's back.

This man has won [-] various championship trophies as the head coach of Manchester United, but in today's game he will not be soft because he has won too many trophies.His Nottingham Forest wants to win the league championship trophy for the first time. If you don't try your best in today's game, you may not be able to pass the test.As for the Champions League in ten days?Who would think about that at this time!
After working in the circle of professional coaches in England for a few years, Dunn suddenly discovered that he had set himself the ideal of "constantly winning and winning championships". The person who should be his goal most is not Bryan, who is mentioned all the time. Clough is not Arsene Wenger, whom he has a good personal relationship with, or even Mourinho, who has some rivals with him, but this unremarkable old man in front of him, who is even a bit of a Scottish country bumpkin.

Because he won the most championships, his team created a decade-long dynasty in English football, he changed the club Manchester United, and he even changed English football... He is a well-deserved Godfather of Manchester United .

Will one day be able to become such a character?

He has won so many championship trophies that even he can't count, turned Nottingham Forest from a down-and-out team into a well-known wealthy team, sweeping the world of football...

Thinking of this, Tang En suddenly felt his blood boil again.

He seemed to see people standing up from their seats in the huge stadium in front of him, stretching out their arms and shouting his name loudly: "Don! Don! Don! Don...Don (Don, It is a respectful title for men in Italian, and it also means godfather in the Sicilian mafia)!"

Tang En couldn't help raising his hand to greet the crowd in the stands.

A harsh boo broke through the illusion and brought him back to reality.

Looking at the hostile Manchester United fans around him, he curled his lips in disinterest, put down his hands and walked back to his seat.

Well, after nine or 10 minutes, when I beat you, let's see the expressions on your faces.At that time, even if you booed your throat, the championship trophy will not go back to you!

He thought viciously in his heart.
