Fans who like to watch the Premier League must have heard the names of some teams that are famous but cannot be found today, such as Sheffield Wednesday, QPR, Charlton, Blackburn, and Coventry. They are currently struggling to survive in the Premier League.
English Championship, League One or League Two.
Of course, there's Nottingham Forest, in the English Championship.
But I believe that a considerable number of fans have a certain understanding of Nottingham Forest and coach Brian Clough through the book "The Godfather of Champions" written by Qidian football guru Lin Haitingtao, because their ups and downs in the Premier League have never been
Go to the center of the stage.
Before Manchester United dominated England, the dominant player was Liverpool. Nottingham Forest had never established its own era, but their greatness lies in the fact that during Liverpool's heyday, they snatched an old English League One championship and retained the Champions League.
Forty years ago, it was too long ago.
In 2005, Nottingham Forest was relegated from the English Championship to League One, becoming the only former Champions League champion in the history of European football to be relegated to the third tier of its country.
Nowadays, Nottingham Forest is just a mediocre team in the English Championship suffering from internal and external troubles. It currently does not even have a head coach.
On the last day of last year, coach Mark Warburton was sacked due to poor results, and youth team coach Gary Brazil took over temporarily.
But such a team, Nottingham Forest, which has been languishing in the British Championship, eliminated Arsenal, which had won three trophies in the past four years, 4:2 in the third round of the 2017-18 FA Cup.
The 'thermos cup' in Professor Wenger's hand got cold, the wolfberries spilled and the chrysanthemums withered.
The professor has been coaching Arsenal for 21 years, and this is the first time in 21 years that they have been eliminated from the FA Cup in the third round. For Premier League teams, the third round is actually the first round, and Arsenal were slapped in the face by the scumbags when they came out.
The last time Arsenal exited the FA Cup so early, Wenger was still coaching Nagoya Grampus. At that time, the professor's hair was dark and somewhat elegant.
Losing is not terrible, and an upset loss to a lower level is not the end of the world. The terrible thing is that Nottingham Forest still had the advantage in the game, which makes people feel that Arsenal lost quite shamelessly.
Wenger is the head coach who has won the most FA Cup titles in the history, leading Arsenal to seven championships. Wenger's halo as a coach has been established, with his unbeaten win in the 2003-04 season accounting for 30%, and seven FA Cups accounting for 30%.
30%, jokes account for 30%, and the remaining 10%.
Losing is not terrible, even if the defending champion loses to the scumbag of the British Championship, it is not the end of the world. But four goals were conceded, and Arsenal themselves felt shameless.
The last time Arsenal conceded four goals to a lower-level team in the FA Cup was against Hull City in 1908. At that time, China was still the Qing Dynasty.
In the 1995-96 season under Wenger's predecessor, the Scot Bruce Rioch, Arsenal also exited the FA Cup in the third round, losing to Aston Villa.
At the end of the season, although he led the team to fifth place in the Premier League and a spot in the UEFA Cup, Rioch resigned due to transfer fee budget issues.
Later, people said that Rioch's only contribution to Arsenal was the purchase of Bergkamp from Inter Milan during his tenure, which cost a whopping 7.5 million pounds.
One more thing, in 2008, coach Bruce Rioch's file was also on the desk of the Chinese Football Association and he became a candidate for the national football coach. He later went to the Danish club Aalborg.
I do n’t know if I am out of the third round after 21 years. The thermal insulation cup is gone. Will Professor Wenger think of Rio, who has already retired.
This is the biggest, even the only unpopular in this round of the Football Cup. The rest of the Premier League team either pass the level smoothly, or you are unfortunately tied to play the second additional addition.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Manchester City VS Bernley, another dialogue between the Premier League, Liverpool VS Everton.
Football is the most expensive defender. The Dutch Phil Gille Van Dike appeared on behalf of Liverpool for the first time in this game, and it was the starting.
In the game, Van Dike performed well in the defense, and Liverpool's overall state was also very ordinary. But in the 84th minute after 1: 1 draw, Van Dark put the corner kick from Chamberlain into the Everton goal, Liverpool Liverpool, Liverpool Liverpool, Liverpool
As a result, 2: 1 won and advanced to the top 32.
The first show is scoring, and Van Dak is at least good at Liverpool.
Uncle Zha's new guard is in place, what about Manchester City?
Barcelona does not sell Umtiti, let alone sell Neymar without lack of money.
It is not optimistic about Chielini. Jiaojiao is indeed today's super -class mid -range guard, but he wants to leave Juventus, but it is unknown to leave Serie A.
The contract with Jiaojiao and Juventus expires next year, and is currently renewing the contract. Maybe I want to use Manchester City to add negotiation chips to themselves.
Moreover, Jiaojiao is not young. The 34 -year -old veteran has never left Serie A before. If he does not adapt to Manchester City, if he destroys the English Premier League in the event, who is it?
Now it is different from before. In the past, the Italian classic central defender was reluctant to go abroad because of the pride of Serie A. Now pride is basically gone, there is not much self -self, and the big style of football has also changed dramatically, and it has become popular.
It is a defender produced in France and Spain.
Chielini really came to the Premier League. With his age, Manchester City and him were actually gambling.
Umtiti is not very old, and I just spent the year at the age of 24. And this year in Barcelona's defense system like fish, it is necessary to adapt to Guardiola, there must be no problem.
? Will it become a reverse Wolong Phoenix chick next year?
For Manchester City now, it is really difficult to buy a good central defender than to have a baby.
The defender hadn't bought it yet, but a veteran of the former merit left completely. After the winter window was opened, Aya Torray freely joined the Greek Olympia Cos.
In the 2005-06 season, Terre transferred to Olympiacos from Donetsk Metallurgical, where he went to Monaco after spending a year and went to Barcelona again a year later.
After the contract with Manchester City expired last summer, Turray did not get a contract contract. At that time, he was very unconvinced, so he wanted to find the next home in the Premier League.
Fifth, even Chelsea and Manchester United.
But until the transfer window is about to be closed, Turray finally knows that he is stupid and naive, let alone Big6, big16 can't talk about it.
Including contacting Barcelona and Monaco, Tutrea has reduced conditions, and it is willing to start from the bench. Just give a contract.
Football is a utilitarian rivers and lakes. If you want to talk about your feelings, you have an absolutely irreplaceable strength. The transfer window is closed, and Tule knows the coldness of the world.
At the age of 34, if he really has to waste a year, he might as well just retire. Not everyone is called Zhuoyang. In order to maintain competitive status, Toure put down his body and returned to the Manchester City training center to do basic training with the team.
It was not until the end of November that Manchester City learned from other channels that Toure had reached an agreement with Olympiacos and informed him that he needed to leave.
Chapter completed!
