Chapter 141 The protagonist of Dream Theater (Part 2)

The game was in a stalemate, and the Forest team fought back desperately, trying to equalize the score before the end of the game, and it would be better to get a point than not being able to get a single point.

Manchester United is based on a steady defense and is waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, always maintaining pressure on the Forest’s defense line and not giving the Forest the entire team a chance to push. For example, although Ronaldo has ended, George Wood still has to stay behind because he still has to face the attacks of Van Nistruei, Scholes, Rooney and Giggs.

The difference now is from the previous few dozen minutes is that Forests can allow two full-backs to assist boldly without always worrying that the space behind them will be used by Manchester United.

Roy Keane's withdrawal to defend also relieved Wood's pressure. He no longer had to face two Manchester United players at the same time. He could cruise throughout the backcourt and act as a bodyguard for Albertini.

In the 80th minute of the game, Donne substituted. He replaced centre-back Matthew Epson with forward Crouch and continued to strengthen the offense. The Forests became 343, but in fact, when they pushed out the offense, there were only three people in the backcourt, Pique and Wood, plus goalkeeper Darren Ward.

The players of the Forest team fought hard, and so did Tang En. Saying "I won't feel angry even if I lose." That's after the game. Now, as long as we have a glimmer of hope, we can't give up.

"Time is getting less and less, and the players of Forests seem to be unable to run... Manchester United still has no intention of giving up the counterattack. George Wood is very busy in the backcourt, and you can see him throughout the half. Don't this kid knows it's tired?"

The commentator said it well, and the game is almost over. The most eye-catching person on the court is not the offensive player of Manchester United or Forest, but George Wood.

Manchester United did not give up the counterattack at Ferguson's warning, and they would move forward firmly as long as they had the chance.

So Wood had to make up for his teammates to rush up and assist the team. He appeared at the right back position. He became the left back again, and then he would play a cameo as a center back and headed the ball to clear the ball...

Forest's offense was unable to start the situation when facing Manchester United's defense, and Ferdinand was much more careful than when he conceded the ball just now. When Wood was defending behind, he would also pay attention to the situation in the frontcourt. Seeing that the score had not changed for a long time, he was inevitably anxious.

The game time is getting less and less, and the players of the Forest team can no longer run. Even people like Ribery can't rush up. Most of the time, the team can only find Crouch and Viduca in front through long passes. The game is very simple, but when facing Manchester United, the effect is not very good.

When the fourth official raised the four-minute stoppage time sign on the sidelines, Tang En turned around and seemed to have to accept this result...

Now whether it is Forest or Manchester United taking the ball, there will be booing sounds over Old Trafford. They are not booing which team or which player. Instead, they booing the four-minute injury stoppage time. For Manchester United with only one goal advantage in hand, the four-minute stoppage time is obviously too long.

What is enough for four minutes on the football field? One attack, one attack, or meaningless back and forth…

Manchester United controlled the ball, and they were not in a hurry to pass the ball. Instead, they hoped to use this opportunity to slowly spend time. When it comes to ball control, Forest is not as good as Manchester United. Eastwood, Viduk and Crouch were all fighting hard in the frontcourt, but they were helpless and were fooled by Manchester United's pass.

Time passes rapidly in seconds.

The whole forest team looked like there was nothing we could do.

The game was like this. Although the Forest team worked very hard for a while, they worked too late. It was this gap between the ball and the ground that became a natural barrier at this time.

Ferguson walked down from the coach's seat, stood on the sidelines, preparing to shake hands with Done after the game. No matter what the result of a quarrel with Done before the game, he was the winner in this game. Although Done is not a famous coach with a prestigious status in English football, he defeated such a rebellious opponent. Obviously, he felt more accomplished than defeating Kevin Keegan.

Queiroz stood next to his boss and waited for a handshake with him. They were completely in the form of a winner. Manchester United had the ball in hand, so how easy was it to break it?

Three minutes have passed since the injury time, and only one minute is left before the end of the game. The players of the Forest team are ready to give up. Anyway, the ball is at the opponent's feet. If they are just behind the back, they can still do it if they don't want to grab it.

Not only did he waste his energy when he pounced on him, he was also fooled by someone as a clown...

After Rio Ferdinand took the ball, he found that even the Forest team had the latest playing time, Crouch didn't come up to press, and he knew that the game was over. The rest was waiting for the referee to blew the whistle to end the game in advance.

He looked up at the referee in front of him. The referee was looking at the watch, very good...

etc!

What is that?!

A black shadow suddenly appeared in his vision.

"God!" Even the commentator shouted. "Where is he rushing out?! George Wood!"

Ferdinand was a little impatient at this moment, and he was startled by the yellow figure that suddenly rushed in front of him.

No one knows how Wood rushed up, even the Forests themselves didn't know, only Pique saw it... When Manchester United started to pour the ball in the backcourt and the Forests players didn't have the energy to go forward to press the ground, Wood wanted to rush up several times.

But this time, he was even more determined than before. When he went up, he didn't think about coming back to defend.

In the 93 minutes, George Wood was as physically energetic as if he had just played for 93 seconds, and his running speed did not change as much as his pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo. He swept across the stadium like the wind... surpassed Albertini, surpassed Scholes, surpassed Eastwood, surpassed Roy Keane, surpassed Cleberson, surpassed Viduca, and suddenly came out from behind Crouch!

Ferdinand was paying attention to the referee's actions at that time, and he never expected that in front of his penalty area, there would be a Forest player who could rush to grab the ball!

Donn had just turned around and was about to go back to the coach's seat to clean up the tactical board, and then shook hands with Ferguson when he heard Chris Lak beside him shouting: "Wait! Tony! Wait... Oh my God, it's Wood! He's going up!"

Done turned around suddenly, and he happened to see Wood rushing to Ferdinand, poking his foot towards the football just like he was defending in front of his penalty area...

At this moment, the old Trafford booed loudly.

"Ferdinand concedes the ball!! He didn't see Wood rushing up at all!"

The biggest problem with the most expensive central defender in England is that he occasionally feels inattentive when playing on the court, and is now caught by Wood who never gives up. He just feels that his feet stagger and the ball is gone!

Wood poked the football off and booed the ball up.

There was no one in front of him, only one goal and Manchester United goalkeeper Tim Howard, and no teammates of his own can come up to support him, so he couldn't pass the ball out.

When Tang En saw this situation, he suddenly thought that shortly after the start of the first half, Wood's shot was similar to that position, but Wood shot the ball into the sky with one shot... His shooting practice performance in normal training was not very good. Is it okay to pin all the hopes of the Forest team on such a person?

Why is it not Viduka, Eastwood, Crouch, Albertini, or even Zimbonda the one who intercepts the ball? But it is George Wood, who has the worst shot!

He suddenly regretted that he should have let Wood practice shooting more in training...

But he blurted out: "Shot-!!"

Wood looked at the football rolling under his feet, and he held his breath and rushed to the intercepting ball successfully, but what should he do next? Passing the ball? No one can pass it. Shooting?

Shooting...

He thought of what Albertini said to him before the game: "Sometimes, you need to rush to the front of the opponent's penalty area and have a strong long shot!"

Isn't this the time now?

A voice suddenly rang out on the sidelines and reached his ears: "Shot--!!"

His eyes became sharper, and he lowered his head and swung his right leg.

I had no choice but to shoot.

The arch of the foot is straight, the toes are fingered down, the hand is strong, the waist is twisted, the legs are swung...shot!

The yellow nike90 football turned into a meteor against the bright lights of the Dream Theater, penetrated Howard's fingers and hit the ball net hard!

As soon as Ferdinand turned around, he saw the football fly into the goal. He suddenly lost his motivation after half of his body turned and sat on the ground.

Roy Keane, who returned to defense, stopped, opened his mouth and gasped, looking at the embarrassed goalkeeper Howard.

Tang En punched the ground.

The smile on Ferguson's face froze, and he reached out to Queros's hand and stopped in the air, as if he had been fixed.

The boo stopped.
