Son Heung-min's teacher, Enze Postecoglou, who took the helm of Nottingham Forest, failed to win again for the first time.

Nottingham drew 2-2 in the first round of the Europa League (UEL) league phase of the 2025-2026 season at La Cartuja Stadium in Seville, Spain, on the 25th (Korea time). Postecoglou was the winning coach of the UEL last season.

He led Tottenham to the top of the UEL. Tottenham was delighted to win for the first time in 17 years since the top of the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. The European tournament was the first championship in 41 years since the 1983-1984 season.




However, Postecoglou was dismissed in 17th place in the English Premier League (EPL). He led Nottingham back on the UEL stage after 127 days.

Nottingham finished seventh in the EPL last season and succeeded in advancing to the European club competition for the first time in 30 years. It is directed by Nunu Espiritu Santo. However, he was dismissed earlier this month, and Postecoglou took over.

But it's not a good start. Postecoglou, who has one draw and one loss in the EPL, was humiliatingly eliminated early in the third round of the League Cup on the 19th, losing 2-3 to Swansea City in the Championship (second division). take a 2-0 lead In the second half, his concentration was disturbed and he missed the victory.

Postecoglou was aiming for his first win in four games. Nottingham was the first time in 30 years that it had been 'out to Europe'. Postecoglou made a surprise starting card for Igor Jesus instead of Chris Wood, who scored 20 goals in the EPL last season.

It was a `God's move.' Nottingham allowed Cedric Bakambu to score the first goal in the 15th minute of the first half, but Jesús scored an equalizer and an upset goal in the 18th, 23rd and 5th minutes of the first half. But the first win was still a long way off. Antony, who completely transferred from Manchester United to Betis, was held back.

He assisted Bakambu's first goal and was responsible for the equalizer in the 40th minute of the second half. It was Antony's first goal of the season. He boasted a ransom of 85.5 million pounds (about 161 billion won) in the summer of 2022 when manager Erik ten Hach took the helm of Manchester United. He moved to Manchester United from Ajax in the Netherlands.




But it was a bad relationship. Antony scored four goals in 25 appearances in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season. The competition time was 1817 minutes. He was aiming for a turnaround in the 2023-2024 season, but he crashed further. He was also caught up in 'domestic violence' and scored only one goal in 29 EPL matches. His playing time was only 1,322 minutes.

While Ten Haq was replaced in October last year, he was only a substitute for eight games in the EPL due to injuries last season. The playing time was 133 minutes. He was scoreless in the EPL.

Antony's escape was a lease, and it was revived. be cleared of the stigma of 'eat and run' in Betis. He played in 26 matches in all tournaments, including five goals and two assists in La Liga, scoring nine goals and five assists. Antony argued that moving the nest to Betis was the best decision he ever made.

Leading clubs such as Saudi Arabia and Turkiye aimed to recruit Antony. However, Antony only wanted to return to Betis, and it became a reality earlier this month.

Manchester United failed to recover the transfer fee in the end. Betis held Antony in his arms for a total of 25 million euros (about 41 billion won), including an option of 3 million euros. However, when Antony transfers, Manchester United agreed to a Celon clause that would take 50% of the profit.

Postecoglou said, `I think our football was really good in the first half. But what I can point out is that we didn't finish the game properly. It's just disappointing that the players and fans aren't rewarded for our efforts. We need to make sure that the players remain optimistic. There will be a lot of positives, and victory will definitely come."
