During the halftime interval, Tang En praised the entire team and focused on Crouch. However, he did not praise Crouch for lifting his shirt and dedicating the goal to Eastwood. Instead, he praised Crouch's keen sense of smell. As for the players' friendship with Eastwood, Tang En knew it in his heart. Tang En himself felt that it was a little pretentious to announce it openly.
He did not know if Eastwood was watching the game. He would tell Crouch and the others to thank his teammates when he returned to the team.
The Forest team's ground attack was beyond Everton's expectations, and they managed to score a goal at the end of the first half. Tang En affirmed this tactical play and praised Arteta. He knew very well that the Spaniard was in desperate need of praise, so he was not stingy. Arteta had done well. Why didn't he say what he wanted to hear?
In the second half, Tang En requested the entire team to continue playing this way. He was taking advantage of the fact that Everton did not have Arteta, while the Forest team did.
After the game started, the Forest team continued to suppress the midfield. Arteta used his offense to suppress Everton, while George Wood completely froze Everton's most dangerous player, Tim Cahill. This made it impossible for him to play his best shot from the back. With him around, Arteta could fully display his talent in offense and tidy up the Forest team's front field in an orderly manner.
Everton did not have Arteta, so they were a mess when it came to organizing their offense. They knew that they couldn't afford to lose this match, but they didn't have a good solution. After Cahill got the ball, he could only choose to do long shots. The efficiency of such an offense was very low.
What about Nottingham Forest? He continued to walk at his own pace, neither fast nor slow. Everything was under Arteta's control.
The 12 days were not wasted. During those 12 days, Tang En clearly told the players that Arteta was the core of the team and that all tactics revolved around him. The competition is the same. You have to listen to him and follow his rhythm. Arteta's rhythm was Nottingham Forest's rhythm.
Now, the results of the 12 days of training had been well verified on the competition stage.
Although the score did not change at 1: 0, Everton could not gain any advantage on the field. They could only be fooled by the Forest team. Looking at this scene, Tang En was full of confidence for Forest Team's performance next season.
"Look, look at the Spaniard. Manager Tony Twain's judgment of people was admirable. Mikel Arteta's performance at Real Sociedad was abysmal. During the winter transfer window, there were only two clubs interested in him — and now they were both on the pitch. Moyes was still a little hesitant. He hoped to test Arteta's ability through a loan, while Tony Twain directly made an offer to Real Sociedad and took away the player who was not thought highly of. Now, Arteta had repaid Coach Tang En's trust in him. His performance was really outstanding! "
Andy Gray gave a brief introduction of the relationship between Mikel Arteta and the current two teams. He was willing to bet that Moyes had never been more regretful than he was right now.
Gray's guess was right. Arteta's performance made Tony Twain feel very gratified, but it also made David Moyes, who was next door, feel very uncomfortable.
As time went on in the second half, Everton's situation did not improve. Moyes had been sitting in the manager's seat the entire time. He crossed his arms and stared coldly at the field. No one knew what he was thinking.
Perhaps … Now he knew that the indecisiveness of the board of directors had not only caused him to lose an outstanding player, but would also cause him to lose much more …

In the second half of the second half, Nottingham Forest, under Arteta's incessant instigation, repeatedly launched attacks towards Everton's goal. Finally, in the 77th minute of the match, Ribéry received Arteta's wonderful pass and scored another goal.
What was worse than the 2: 0 score was that Everton had no way of regaining control of the match. They had two defensive midfielders in the midfield, but none of them had a clear line of thought and did not know how to play in the offense. Everyone wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible, but some people hoped to directly charge in from the backfield with a long pass. It was fast and direct. Some people thought that they should push forward layer by layer, play steadily and surely, and control the ball at their feet. Only then would they be able to attack.
Without a unified line of thought, it would be strange if they could still play well in the match.
On the contrary, Forest, under Arteta's leadership, played more and more relaxed. They had complete control of the situation on the field.
Amidst the cheers of the Forest fans, the match finally came to an end. Everton lost to Nottingham Forest 0: 2 in the away game.
When the final whistle blew, Moyes looked up and sighed. The rain had stopped. Then, he strode towards the home team's technical area and took the initiative to shake hands with Tony.
"There's still one more point, Tony. I won't let you get what you want. "
"Then you better be careful!" Tang En, who had won, was in a good mood as he replied with a smile.
The two shook hands, and Moyes turned to leave the field. Tang En continued to stand by the side of the field, quietly watching the players thank the fans for their support. Having won this crucial battle, Tang En did not feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Because he knew that there was no technique in the season yet. In the next seven rounds of the League tournament, any opponent that Forest faced would require them to give their all to ensure that they did not fall behind.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United would all clash with these four strong teams in the final seven rounds of the League tournament.
If they won against Everton, they would be able to heave a sigh of relief and think that they could lie down and rest. Then, Forest's results would end there.
Moyes was not too dejected when he shook hands with Tang En. He had also considered this point. Looking at the schedule, Everton, who had one more point than Forest, still had an advantage. Their opponents in the final seven rounds of the League tournament were definitely not as difficult to deal with as Forest.
Although the current Everton team was ranked higher than the Forest team, their strategy was no longer to desperately shake off their opponents. Instead, it was to play their own game well and then quietly wait for Forest to make a mistake.
Moyes did not believe that Tang En's team would not make a mistake. These four opponents were too strong. Tang En would definitely make a mistake! He would definitely make a mistake! He would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and collapse. At that time, he would not need to exert himself to easily pull Nottingham Forest far away.
Not only was Tang En unable to heave a sigh of relief, but he also had to tighten the strings in his heart. However, he could not show it. He could not let his team members sense even the slightest hint of it. The boys had done well in this match. He should be praising and encouraging them instead of nervously telling them with a straight face that the difficult times had only just begun.
Tang En did not know how the other managers in the world did things — he had actually never received proper training. His experience as a manager seemed to be somewhat "legendary." The so-called "legendary" actually meant that his path was unorthodox and unorthodox. As a result, when he considered some problems, his habitual way of thinking was not from the perspective of a professional football manager, but from a different perspective.
Tang En was used to shouldering all the pressure on his shoulders because he was the manager of the team, which meant he was the boss of the team. What did he do as the boss? It did not mean that he alone took all the credit and all the good stuff had to be given to him. Instead, he was the scapegoat for his underlings and had to clean up after them. If outsiders bullied his men, the person who stood in front of his underlings had to be the boss. No matter how bad his men were, it was not up to the likes of you irrelevant people to make irresponsible remarks. Close the locker room door. How I teach them a lesson and scold them is my business.
Perhaps this sounded like a big boss in a Hong Kong gangster movie, but that was how Tang En thought. He changed the football team to a society. The manager and the boss had the same meaning. It was precisely because he had been in contact with the internal affairs of the team for a shorter time than the other managers that he used his own way of thinking to manage the team. How was the actual effect? Very good. Nottingham Forest had not had a single scandal with concrete evidence to date. There were no intensified conflicts in the locker room. Why? It was because the team had such a ruffian-like "boss."
His method of managing the team was rarely seen in English football before. Off the training ground, he could joke with any player, no matter what kind of joke it was, whether it was vulgar, vulgar, or vulgar. The players could also joke with him. He did not keep a straight face and reject them just because he was the manager. When the players were in trouble, even if it had nothing to do with the game or football, he would find a way to solve it. He would not pretend not to know. When the f * cking media spewed nonsense at his own players, he would jump out as if they were scolding him and give the media the fiercest counterattack.
Mourinho was very similar to Tang En in this regard, but it was not the same. Mourinho always had a sense of superiority. Tang En did not. He had no sense of superiority.
The Forest players finally finished thanking the fans and walked down the field one by one. When they walked past Tang En, he smiled and patted them on the shoulder. "Well done. Hurry back to take a shower and change your clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold."
He said this to everyone who walked past. When Crouch walked in front of him, Tang En looked up at the tall man and smiled. "How do you feel, Peter? Eriksson is watching from up there, and you scored a goal. "He pointed to the private room in the main grandstand behind him.
