The entry of the two champion players, Demetrio Albertini and Fernando Hierro, was a great boost to morale. In general, the current Forest team could be regarded as a young team. The players were dynamic, energetic and motivated, but lacked experience. And Hierro and Albertini, two veterans who had led big-name teams to victory in the UEFA Champions League, could bring the experience and stability that the young players required. Tang En believed that having the older guys on the team would benefit the team a lot, both in training and in the games.
