Chapter 28 A Yellow Card (1)
Chapter 218 A yellow card (Part 1)
When Anelka put his index finger at his mouth to make a "switch" move, for a moment, the Bernabeu stadium became really quiet, but then a bigger boo broke out.
Real Madrid fans are extremely disgusted with this French striker. They don't mind raising their middle fingers in front of this arrogant Frenchman and cursing Spain's national swearing.
Cheers rang out from the bench at Nottingham Forest, but it seemed very harsh and clear as the boos throughout the court.
The substitutes of the Forest team stood on the sidelines and applauded Anelka, while coach Tony Donn waved his fists to celebrate the goal... No, he was not celebrating, he was demonstrating to the Bernabeu.
Leading Real Madrid wouldn't have made Don En so excited. He has done the same thing once at the City Stadium.
Leading Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium is not an advantage in scores. Don En enjoys the pleasure of knocking his master down with one punch at someone else's doorstep.
So he felt very happy when he saw Anelka put his index finger to his mouth and shut up the fans of the Bernabeu.
"It's really unexpected that the leader at the Bernabeu was the Nottingham Forest! Just five minutes into the game, the Englishman who came from afar scored a goal! It was so fast!"
Espn's commentator is right, it's normal to lead Real Madrid, but it's really surprising to take the lead in such a short time to kick off.
"I believe that this Nottingham Forest defeated Benfica twice is definitely not as 'unpopular' as Portugal calls it."
The group points ranking was shown at the bottom left of the screen. Real Madrid and Nottingham Forest ranked first and second, but the points were already the same - ten.
The TV camera then gave Tony Donn, who was standing on the sidelines, a close-up of about five seconds. His face was no longer as excited and joy as he scored a goal, and instead he was still serious.
"The youngest head coach in the Champions League led the team at the Bernabeu. Tony Donn always seems to be covered with a layer of fog, which makes us unable to see through."
Tang En didn't know that the TV commentator was commenting on him in close-up shots. He stood on the sidelines for a while, then turned around and walked back to the coach's seat.
"The competition has just begun, David."
After the kick-off, Real Madrid was not stunned by the goal, but soon launched a crazy counterattack.
After all, they are old-fashioned teams. No matter what trough they are facing now, their foundation is still there. If they are just stunned by a ball like this, it would be too fake.
Wood has become a busy person again. Such moments are rare as the Forest team's strength increases, its status in the Premier League has increased. When the Forest team is weak and often suppressed to fight positions, George
Wood is the most eye-catching player, which is also one of the reasons why he quickly became famous less than two years after his debut at a young age.
More balls were sent to Zidane's feet, and it seemed that they did not trust Guti who was like a "nervous knife".
More offenses are concentrated on Zidane's side, which means that George Wood is under greater pressure.
As the game progressed, whether Wood admitted it or not, Zidane allowed him to experience the bad feeling again.
When you face this French bald land, he always has a way to go around you. If he can't go around, he will pass the ball out immediately. It won't leave you too much time to intercept the ball.
This is not just a technical gap, it is also a huge experience gap.
Zidane took the ball when he was facing Wood and made a fake move to pull the ball to break through. Wood rushed out. Then Zidane calmly divided the ball to the right side, and Salgado inserted it in the back row again...
It's not just Wood facing tremendous pressure, the young left-back Gareth Bale is the same, and the right-back Zimbonda is the same. It can be said that everyone on the Forests' defense line is facing tremendous pressure.
Because this line of defense is so young, their offensive lineup is world-class.
Salgado did not break through Bale, but instead passed the ball back after attracting Bale to the bottom line.
Behind him is right forward Beckham!
"Be careful of the English!" the narrator exaggeratedly.
Beckham did not stop the ball, but instead faced Salgado's return pass and made a cross directly!
The football drew an accurate arc in the air, almost hitting Ronaldo, who was not good at heading the ball!
"Ronaldo headed the ball...wooow!"
Just a short distance away, Van der Sar made an incredible save, and he held Ronaldo's header with one hand!
"What a pity! If the ball is replaced by Morientes, it will be in..."
Ronaldo put his hands on his hips and looked at Van der Sar who was getting up from the ground in disbelief. He thought the ball was decided.
In fact, when he saw Beckham making a cross, Don Eun's heart flew up - he raised his throat, when he saw the football hit Ronaldo's head.
Then the moment the line flew towards the goal, the heart almost burst out from his throat.
Fortunately, Van der Sar's outstanding performance brought Tang En's heart back to its original place. But it still jumped quickly.
After leading the way, Tang En felt the stimulation that a heart disease might occur at any time.
1:0 is too unsafe...
But the Forest team must now insist on defensive counterattacks, defend against the opponent's continuous fierce attacks, and wait for the opportunity to succeed in another sneak attack.
This is not only a test of the players on the court's ability, but also a test of the heart of the head coach Tang En.
Soon Tang En couldn't sit in the coach's seat, so he stood up, held the roof of the coach's seat, and continued to pay close attention to the situation on the court.
This is not the first time that Forests has faced a situation of being suppressed. They have just tasted this kind of taste in the league match against Chelsea.
It's very painful, but they have to bear it.
This is also a competition experience.
Once, after being broken through by Zidane and causing a corner kick, Albertini grabbed George Wood.
His hand slipped and almost grabbed Wood's arm. Albertini realized that Wood's arms were covered with sweat.
"George."
Wood turned his head and looked at his captain.
"Let's change, I'll defend Zidane."
Wood, who has always listened to the captain's words, shook his head this time. "No, Demi. The boss said he asked me to defend..."
"But..." Albertini wanted to say "but you can't help it", but he swallowed it again when he said that, which was a bit too damaging to people.
George Wood is not a fool. He knew what Albertini wanted to say, so he took a breath: "He is really amazing. But the boss said, let me defend him. Unless I'm replaced, he's mine."
After saying that, he ran over in front of Albertini and returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense.
Albertini shook his head as he looked at Wood's back and ran back.
Chris Lack noticed Albertini holding Wood to talk about this, and he looked at Donn.
Tang En shook his head and said nothing.
So Chris Lack turned his gaze back on the field.
The situation has not improved, Zidane is still active, and Real Madrid is still bombarding the penalty area of Forest, which means they want to regain their lost dignity and state in this game.
Don Eun stood up from his seat again and walked to the sidelines. Van der Sar was preparing for the kickoff, and he placed the football twice, delaying the game from the beginning of the first half.
Wood stood on the right side of the center circle, and not far from him was the Frenchman.
Done took a breath, then yelled Wood's name: "George--!"
Not only Wood, but almost everyone in the Forest team heard it, even some Real Madrid players, who all looked at Don En.
"Have you forgotten what I said to you? Hide him!" Tang En pointed at Zidane, "No matter what method is used, you can do whatever you want! You can do whatever you want! You can do whatever you want!!"
He punched his palm.
If Zidane could be injured and Wood didn't even take a yellow card, it would probably be the most perfect result in Tang En's heart.
But it's unlikely...
Real Madrid's right side was right on the side by the coaching seats of both sides. Beckham could clearly hear Donne's English swear words. He looked at the visiting coach who had no grace and frowned.
Zidane also looked to the sidelines. He saw Tang En pointing in the direction he was in when he was shouting, which was most likely related to him. It was just to let that kid watch over him. Such things have been seen a lot in Zidane's career.
Almost every head coach will give instructions to the main defensive players in his team like this.
However, the Forests' No. 13 seems to be too far from him. So far, everything is in his control. He does not feel that the game is too difficult. Except for one goal - but that's just an accident.
Look at it now, the Forest team is completely silent.
Since they took the lead, they have not even shot once, and they have all retracted to their half. As long as Real Madrid continues to attack like this, it will be a matter of time before they equalize the score.
Chapter completed!
