Chapter 70 Coach vs. Coach
"GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!!" John Mortensen shouted the word three times, each time getting louder. "Beautiful free kick tactical coordination! No one would have thought that Reed would send the football into the penalty area in this way, and no one would have thought that the person who scored this ball would be David Johnson! God, he is only five feet Two inches (approximately 1.6 meters eight)! Score from a set kick! Well done!" Mortensen said the last two sentences while looking at Laurenson beside him.
Laurensen smiled helplessly: "It's really beautiful, I overlooked this point... Twain put a lot of effort into setting the ball. But the game is not over yet, John, the beard is still on my mouth."
Mortensen smiled happily: "Don't take chances, Mark. The Forest team's offensive will not end here!"
Excited shouts came from the fans in the forest bar: "That's right! Our offense is not over yet! Sheffield United bastards, you will suffer!"
Burns looked at these excited fans, smiled at Fat John beside him, and then they clinked their wine glasses together.
Mortensen is right, the Forest team's offensive is not over yet.In the 7th minute, 24 minutes after the first goal, the Forest team scored again with a set kick.This time it was captain Michael Dawson who scored for the team.A corner kick, Andy Reed looked at the goal, even with two Sheffield United defenders around him, Dawson jumped high and smashed the ball into the goal.
"2:0! 2:0! Michael Dawson! He has all the qualities to be a good player, he is the leader of the forest team! He is Robin Hood!" Mortensen praised the young Dawson, " This small forest is destined not to keep him, he will become an important player in the big team, he is... a big man! Hey, Mark, your beard..."
Lawrenson was almost out of the mood for bickering with Mortensen. He stroked his beard back and forth, and fixed his eyes on Tony Tang, who first knelt on one knee and shook his fist on the sidelines, and then rushed into the celebrating players. kindness.It was obviously Michael Dawson who scored the goal, but he, the head coach, seemed more excited than Dawson.
Maybe the Mortensen guy was right.Tony Twain, I can't see through... I really can't see through it! 
Balamore Lane fell silent, only the Forest fans in the South Stand kept singing.No one thought that the Forest team would take the lead in the away game, beating Sheffield United 2:0.
Tang En is in a good mood now.Although this is only halfway through the first half, there are still most of the game and a final.But he seems to have seen that the door of the Premier League is slowly opening to him. Behind that door, there is a more colorful, newer and broader world.
Compared to the excited Twain, Sheffield head coach Warnock was silent.He walked back to the coach's bench from the sidelines, then sat down and watched the game quietly, without making any adjustments to the score of 0:2.It seemed that in the confrontation with Tang En, he had already shown his defeat.
In the next game of the first half, the Forest team led by two goals and deliberately slowed down the rhythm, so the game returned to the way it was in the opening 15 minutes.The two sides launched a tug-of-war in the midfield.
Warnock never got up from his seat until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.When the whistle sounded, he got up and walked straight back to the locker room with no expression on his face.
On the other side, after hearing the whistle, Tang En got up and gave Walker a high-five before happily walking back to the locker room.All of his tactical plans have been realized. In the case of an away game, it is impossible for him to ask the team to do better.
Originally, he wanted to tell everyone that Ian Bowyer was going to leave after the playoffs, but after thinking about it, he should not use it to disturb the morale of the army.In case the finals don't go well, it can be used to boost morale.
After turning off the microphone, Mortensen pointed to Laurenson's beard and said with a smile: "Mark, do you prefer electric or manual?"
At half-time, whether in the away dressing room at Barramore Lane, Sheffield United's stadium, or in Nottingham, some thirty miles away, Forest's players and fans were in a relaxed mood.They beat their opponents 2:0 in the away game. This score is enough for them to relax and take a breath.
During the intermission, some people even discussed their opponents in the next final, and the opponents they might face after they were promoted to the Premier League.
Tang En looked at his subordinates with a smile, but did not make a sound to stop them.But this is just an appearance. In fact, he is thinking about what might happen in the second half. He doesn't think Warnock is an opponent who is willing to concede at halftime. He will definitely make some changes in the second half, and he has to have enough A contingency plan is made.
It was almost certain that Warnock would strengthen his offense. Only in this way would Twain's starting tactics be useful.The midfield is all used for defense, and the offense is a long pass. It is simple and fast, it is successful, and it is not successful. There is absolutely too much greed for offense.With two goals in hand, they have enough capital to stick to it for 45 minutes without even taking a shot.As long as he can hold on, he is the hero of Nottingham Forest.
The League One play-offs are different from other two-round home and away knockout matches. There is only one condition for determining the outcome of this game-the score.The team with the most goals wins, regardless of away goals.I played a 5-5 draw against my opponent in the away game. It was useless to score five away goals. When I returned to the home court and let them play 1-1, I had to honestly play overtime and penalty shootouts.
The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides stood on the field again to wait for the start of the second half.
When Twain was walking towards the coaching bench of the visiting team, he bumped into the coach of the opposing team, Warnock. The two of them stood facing each other. It seemed unreasonable not to say hello, but Twain really didn't know what to say at this time.He is used to shaking hands with the opponent's head coach and exchanging greetings after the game, because at that time the result of the game has already come out, and he knows what mood he should face his opponent and what to say.It's only halftime, what should he say?
Said that we are ahead of you and we have a good chance of winning?Or is it that although we are ahead of you, you are not without opportunities?None of these words fit Tang En's character.
So he lowered his head, intending to pretend he didn't see it and walk quickly.Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Warnock.
"Coach Tang En, why do you want to run when you see me?"
Tang En rolled his eyes with his back turned to him, and then turned around with a smile on his face: "Ah, I'm so sorry. I was actually thinking about something and I didn't see you, Mr. Warnock. What's the matter?" ?”
Warnock reached out his hand to shake hands with Dunn: "It's nothing. I just want to congratulate you. From No.14 in the new year's league to sixth in the final, you did a great job. To be honest, I didn't expect Our last opponent will be you..."
Tang En also stretched out his hand. Since the other party expressed friendship, he has no reason to be ungrateful.

The two held hands together.
"No matter what the final result of this game is, I have to say that this is a wonderful game." Warnock said.
Tang En smiled and nodded in agreement, but as soon as the two separated, he frowned when he turned around.
This damn old man wasn't worried that his team would lose at all!He is full of confidence, and it seems that he is determined to win this game.But... where does this confidence come from?He was behind by two goals, not me!
With some doubts and uncertainty, Tang En returned to the coach's bench, and the game whistle had already been blown.Walker asked with concern: "Where have you been?"
"I met Warnock and chatted casually." Tang En replied copiously, and then put all his attention on the game.He hoped to see Warnock's tricks and stop them in time.
After sitting down to watch the game for less than 5 minutes, he stood up from his seat, and Walker next to him looked at him suspiciously.
Dunn ignored Walker's surprised eyes. He stared at Neil Warnock who was standing on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "You old bastard!"
