On December 12, 2003, Tony Twain, one of the greatest managers in Nottingham Forest FC's history, returned to his best position after half a year of silence, appearing on the City Ground's home team coach. When he returned, no one talked about his unfortunate predecessor, Corymore, as if the City Ground was booked for Tony Twain.
It was an ordinary England A-League (there was no England Champion league at the time, so the first-level league was a second-level league), and Nottingham Forest FC was ranked lower than them after losing six games in a row, but the momentum was 汹汹I plan to eat their Crystal Palace FC. Nottingham Forest FC lags behind and reverses, ending an embarrassing six-game losing streak.
Since that game, he has never left this position. Tony Twain has been the manager of Nottingham Forest FC, and this team has been labeled with his arrogance. Even in the half year he was trained for heart disease, the team did not lack his influence. He led his own Forest team to sweep across Europe, and won two European Champion Cups, two English Premier League League titles.
So far, Nottingham Forest FC, one of the earliest established professional football clubs in the world, has had two of the most brilliant times in history. The first glorious era came after Brian Clough arrived at Nottingham Forest FC, and the otherwise unknown Nottingham Forest FC Fly, led by the most personalized coach in England football, got an England Top League Title, two Europe Champion Cups, a UEFA Super Cup, also set an unbeaten record for 42 unbeaten England top leagues, a record that was not Wenger Arsenal F until 26 years later C surpassed by a new record of 49 games.
The second glory era will undoubtedly count from the day of December 12, 2003. Tony Twain, the former unnamed pawn, led the Forest team to hang a whirlwind of The Reds at City Ground. So far, they have won two English Premier League Champions. Two European Champion Cup Champions, two UEFA Super Cup Champions, one World Club Cup Champion, two England Community Shield Cup Champions, and one England EFL League Cup. But from the number of Champion, he has surpassed his predecessor Brian Clough. And Clough is old, Tony Twain is only forty-five years old, and he is still young as a coach. There is still a long, long road under his feet. It is believed that the Forest team, under his leadership, will continue to be brilliant and create the most glorious Forest dynasty in history, just around the corner.
It has been ten years since this sway.
As the only manager in the history of Club who can compare with Brian Clough, his tenth anniversary of coaching must be celebrated. Club has decided to give Twain a commemorative trophy. Unfortunately, on December 12th, the Forest team's game was not at home, so the trophy could not be seen in front of tens of thousands of spectators before the game.
December 12, 2013. The 17th round of the England Premier League, Nottingham Forest FC away game venue Challenge Liverpool FC.
This is a 10-year game after Twain officially coached the Forest First Team. Although he became the agent of the Forest team as early as January 1, 2003, it was "agent", plus Evan.Doughty has given up his job and can't be counted as an official coaching career. Even Twain is not willing to divide the failed half of the season into his own ten years. Although the half of the season occupied a very important position in his life, he left countless precious memories.
Local media such as Nottingham Evening Post have created a special issue to review Tony Twain's 10-year special project. For the Nottingham people, there are so many things to remember in this decade. They seem to have done a wonderful and long dream. Ten years ago, if someone said to them: "Your team can definitely return to the peak", they will definitely think that the person is deliberately ridiculed and satirical. But now those honors are quietly placed in the honor room of the Club, telling them that this is not a dream, this is a reality.
All this is thanks to the forty-five-year-old man. As a coach, he is only forty-five years old and very young. His honours have already made many coaches who are older than him stunned. But as a man, forty-five years old is already middle-aged. I hope he can continue to do it later. The longer the better, this is the biggest wish of all Forest fans.
Some publishers have found Twain and hope to have his autobiography in this worthy few years. Twain's writing is not bad. He often opens a column in the newspaper, but writing a book is too time-consuming for him. The Manager of an English Premier League Club is already busy enough. How can I still have time to write a book? So he handed this over to the most knowledgeable Journalist Pierce.Bruce. It is said that he dictates, Bruce notes, in fact, he does not have any strength. All Bruce used the information he had recorded over the past decade to form the book. The only thing that is Twain original may be the name of the book.
Decade:
Mmm…Strictly speaking, even the title of the book is not his original. When the publisher asked him to think about the title of the book, the ghost of his mind was the name of Eason Chan’s song. He thinks this is a fate. So I used it.
At first, the publisher felt that the name was very imposing and too low-key. It’s totally unworthy with Tony Twain’s “madman identity”. I want to change Twain, such as "Forest", "The Heart of the Lion", "The Godfather of Champion", "We Are The Champions"…This kind of straightforward one knows the name of what is written.
But Twain refused.
"Since I am a madman, I can't even insist on the title of myself. Is it a madman?"He said the publisher’s speech was speechless. Sure enough…
"Toni, I thought about it. Or will you open a press conference in Nottingham the day before the game and give you the trophy? ”Three days before the game, Club Chairman Evan.Doughty found Twain.
“Why?”Twain was surprised because the original plan was awarded after the game was over.
"Hey, I am worried that if you lose the game in that game, you will not be in the mood to receive the prize in the face of the media…"
Twain laughed.
"You don't laugh, Toni. We always have to prepare for both hands? ”
Twain continued to laugh: "Ha! If you gave me the crystal cup before the game. What else is there to prepare? Before some important games, the media have a plan and a b plan, but they will not announce the team failure before the start of the game. You can rest assured. Twain patted Evan's shoulder. "The situation you are worried about won't happen because we won't lose at all." I also don't want to lose the ball to receive this award. ”
“The Liverpool FC home is hard to beat…”
"We haven't beaten them in Anfield. Is this because it is my tenth anniversary, and they suddenly become the most difficult fortress in the world?"
"But the performance of our team recently…And the state of George Wood…"
Twain shook his head and interrupted his question: "No problem. The team and him are fine. ”
Evan has any doubts, but Twain pushed it out. "You believe me, Evan. That is my tenth anniversary. How can I allow someone to mess up? The friend came to have a good wine, and the wolf came only with a shotgun. ”
“Anfield is the home of the most devil on the planet!”Senior Journalist Cris of Liverpool FC Echo.Bascombi predicted this in his column two days later. "Our relationship with Nottingham Forest FC is not too good, we have no reason to let Tony Twain enjoy his commemorative dinner at Anfield. ”
The man once listed 2009-2010season's top ten wishes in his column, one of which was "Hope Tony Twain is a complete farewell to the forest team because of a heart attack", and he wanted Abramovich to go bankrupt, and Chelsea was helpless to sell Lampard to B Arça, to sell Terry to Liverpool FC, so that "English Premier League can start a fair and reasonable competition."
It can be seen that he is a firm kop. At the same time, I don't like Chelsea and Tony Twain very much.
In fact, he doesn't need to put oil on the column. No Liverpool FC fans will have a good impression on Nottingham Forest FC and Tony Twain.
Liverpool FC has only been able to participate in the UEFA Europa League for several years, and has become the laughing stock of the European powers. This is thanks to Tony Twain and his Nottingham Forest FC. Go back a little further. Question: The Liverpool FC giant who once dominated Europe was defeated by the same opponent within a year. The league, the EFL League Cup, and the Champion Cup were eliminated. Who is it?
Answer: Brian Clough and his local Nottingham Forest FC.
With this relationship. Both sides are "The Reds camp" in England football, but every time they compete, they seem to be playing Derby. Liverpool FC wants to use the victory in the league to prove that they are not weaker than Nottingham Forest FC. Why they can play the Champion Cup and they can only go to the UEFA Europa League. Nottingham Forest FC has always pursued the principle of returning to the eye for an eye for a tooth. Since you look at me, I don't have to be polite with you.
In addition, about Gerrard and George Wood, who is the best midfielder in England, has never stopped between the two supporters. There were also Chelsea fans who joined in and supported Lampard. Later, as Lampard grew older and lost the main position of the National Team, Chelsea fans quit the team with great interest.
Liverpool FC supporters believe that Gerrard is more comprehensive, flawless, and has no shortcomings, whether it is in England or Liverpool FC is a well-deserved core player. Of course, England is the best. While George Wood is slightly better than Gerrard in defense, his offense is too far off, and his scoring ability is nothing compared to Gerrard. There is absolutely no way to compare it with Gerrard. In England George Wood, it is more like the image of the Gerrard assistant.
Supporters of Nottingham Forest FC believe that Wood's midfield defense is unparalleled in the world, the offensive progress is fast, he is younger, and there is a lot of room for improvement. Instead, Gerrard has been finalized. Plus Liverpool FC is always held in the league by Nottingham Forest FC. The team's performance is not ideal, and Gerrard's achievements are basically followed. Contrary Nottingham Forest FC took Champion under the leadership of Tony Twain, and George Wood constantly refreshed his honor list. He will surely get more honors and achievements in the future. He can definitely reach a peak that Gerrard has never reached. .
Anyway, they support the fans, experts, and journalists of their respective teams, and they often engage in such disputes. But this controversy did not affect the relationship between Gerrard and Wood. The National Team did not see the negative impact of this debate. The combination of Gerrard and Wood's "double virtue" is clearly better than the combination of him and Lampard's "double virtue". Wood is a midfielder that can be paired with anyone. He can attack and defend, and can also be a core helper. This is exactly what Capello likes Wood. So even though he and Gerrard played at the same time, he must be supporting Gerrard, but who can rotate in the National Team, but Wood can't. Gerrard sometimes needs to give someone a place to work with Wood, but hasn't heard of the media hype "Who is partnering with Gerrard."
Wood is not a person who likes to fight for "Who is the brother of England football". Gerrard obviously does not need to fight for anything first, and his status has been laid.
This kind of controversy is nothing more than an argument for the fans after the meal, and the excuses for the media to speculate in the two teams.
“Nottingham Forest FC has been in a bad state recently, and their core Captain George Wood seems to have something wrong. I have no doubt that I am very happy to see the mood of this scene, I just hope that the opponents themselves have problems. "Baccombe continued in his own column," the schedule was really bad for Tony Twain. His tenth anniversary will be in the Devil Stadium. If he is at City Ground, he may still accept the Club award before the game. That must be a very beautiful thing, but unfortunately Twain coach can only fantasize in his heart. ”
"The anniversary of the arrogant person, this is the biggest expectation I see in this game. I have no doubt about my dislike of Nottingham Forest FC and my love for Liverpool FC. Every kop who knows the Liverpool FC in the late 1970s and early 1980s should agree with me. New hatred and old hate, on the night of Anfield on December 12, we count together! ”
