Chapter 250: Guess

With one goal ahead, Arsenal can justify Shunde to start playing their long-prepared defensive counterattack. Done doesn't think Arsenal is not good at playing defensive counterattacks. Just look at the team he remembers that Arsenal who entered the finals of the Champions League this season.

For Wenger's team, it's not whether it can be done or not, but whether it is a question of whether it is thought or not.

If Wenger is determined to play a defensive counterattack with himself in this game, then Henry must be an important figure.

Donn thought about it and decided not to make any adjustments for the time being. Henry could trap him from the entire line of defense. And Wood's goal is still Fabregas.

However, Wood cannot blame the loss of the ball just now. It was correct for him to choose to defend Henry at that time. After all, Henry's threat is even greater. It can only be said that Henry is a real world-class player, and he changed all this alone.

Of course, the contribution of head coach Arthur and Wenger cannot be ignored.

It was his originally unkind Arsenal who made it a pleasing team today. This offense exudes a very obvious Arsenal style, and it is difficult to describe the exquisiteness of this goal in words. People can feel the poetic rhythm from the running of these three Arsenal players, which is very clear and smooth, and is refreshing.

In comparison, Nottingham Forest football has no artistic quality.

It is really the head coach of the team that determines the team's personality. The elegant Wenger coaches Arsenal, and the Gunners become synonymous with elegance and art. The profit-oriented Donn becomes the head coach of Nottingham Forest, and the utilitarianism of this team becomes stronger.

Tang En stood up from his seat, knowing that the game had entered Wenger's plan and he had to play with him now. But he was unwilling to let the game end like this. There was no airtight defense in the world, nor was there a goal that could not be opened.

As long as the Forest continues to attack and seize one opportunity, the balance of victory can be tilted again.

In the past, he was used to relying on defense to solve problems. In today's game, the key to solving problems is offense.

How powerful can Nottingham Woodland attack power be?

Arsenal, who scored the goal, retreated slightly and paid attention to defense. The Forests began to push forward. Even George and Wood were overwhelmed by half and approached Arsenal's penalty area.

Arteta passed Edu in the frontcourt and then suddenly shot. Leman made a beautiful save, but he could not control the ball. He jumped hastily and had to choose to play the football out. But the Forest's offensive did not end there.

Ashley; Young received the football from Lehman on the wing, and did not let it go out of bounds, then turned around and made a cross. The football flew to Arsenal again, and Viduka rushed to the football under Duld's close defense.

Unfortunately, he headed the ball slightly out.

“The Forest’s offense is actually quite monotonous.

"Wenger sat on the coach's seat to Pat; Rice said, "Don has spent most of his energy on defense since coaching the team. In his first season in the Premier League, the Forests' ability to get fourth has nothing to do with their attacking power.

The most goals were Crystal Palace, which played poorly away games. Forest team scored four goals. They rely on defense to participate in this season's Champions League.

In the middle of the league, they had a record of one goal without losing ground for eight consecutive rounds, and the highest score of the Forest team's single game in those eight rounds was only 2:0. 1:0, 2:0, 1:1... This is the most common score in the season. "

Pat; Rice looked at Wenger incredibly. He didn't expect that this Frenchman had such a deep understanding of the opponent's data. These things were probably something that Tang En could not speak casually, right?

"The situation has not changed this season. Don't builds the Forests' defense very successfully. Although the young defense will make mistakes. But he made up for this weakness with the overall situation.

Now they have lost thirty-three goals, most of which have been lost in recent rounds of concentration, because the Forests have been distracted by the Champions League and the team is a little unable to keep up.

Although Arteta was slowly straightened, the Forest's offensive routine did not change much. It was nothing more than a breakthrough on the flank and a strong attack on the middle, which was very patterned.

And unlike the overall focus on defense, the Forests' offense seems to rely more on the personal performance of some players..." Wenger said, pinching his chin.

"Arthur..."

"Um?"

"You...aware that you have more knowledge of Nottingham Forest than Tony; Don't?"

Hearing Rice say this, Wenger smiled slightly: "My understanding of that team is only on the data, and the data is there. Anyone who wants to understand can understand me.

And Tony; Donne, he understands the deeper things, such as... the soul of a team."

Rice looked at him.

"This is why, I know so much about the Forests, but I am still the Arsenal coach. He is the reason why the Nottingham Forests head coach is."

When Wenger analyzed the Nottingham Forest one by one like a slaughter, Tang En was standing on the sidelines to supervise the battle. He would not analyze everything like Wenger.

This kind of thing may be done, but Tang En only uses his own trick to coach the team.

Wenger brought Arsenal the artistic footballing and tactical concepts. And what Donn instilled in Nottingham Forest is the willful quality of "win and win, win again, besides victory or victory."

The Nottingham Forest players are like their head coaches, with crazy persistence and desire for victory. They are arrogant and will never be willing to fall behind.

So what if you fall behind with one goal now? It's just one goal. The boss always says that "leading one goal" on the football field is the most dangerous situation. This applies not only to the Forest team, but also to their enemies.

George; Wood pressed up, Arteta saw him and passed the football over.

When Wood received the ball, the Highbury Stadium recalled sporadic booing. If it were mentioned in the Inter Milan game, George; Wood was a person who would not be welcome anywhere except Nottingham.

He did not receive the influence of the audience's hostility, passed the football to Ribery on the other side, and then... it did not end there. Wood did not stay behind as usual to prevent the opponent from fighting back, but unexpectedly suddenly stepped forward!

Albertini laughed when he saw this scene on the sidelines. This kid has the intention to take the initiative to participate in the offense...

When Lehman saw Wood's forward, he certainly knew that the kid was going to participate in the attack. But he loudly reminded his teammates: "Don't worry about him! ~ Show me the others to death!"

In the heart of the German goalkeeper, the midfield engineer was not threatening at all. He might be able to use an outrageous shot to help Arsenal clearance.

Ribery saw Wood inserting in, and without hesitation, he uploaded it immediately. Duer was entangled with Viduca. Sendros was paying attention to Anelka. They all saw George who inserted it afterwards; Wood, but they also heard Lehman's words.

There was only one person who did not follow Lehman's command and followed Wood back to defend and entered the penalty area. This person was Fabregas.

Ribery passed the ball not to Viduka or Anelka, but to Wood. During the run, Wood jumped high!

Fabregas was thrown away by Wood's sudden sprint at the last moment. He had no time to jump, but he didn't dare to reach out to pull. He could only look up from behind and watch Wood emerge from the crowd!

"George; Wood!"

At this moment, Lehman suddenly felt regret in his heart - why did he shout "Don't worry about him"? There was no defensive player at this distance, what if he was allowed to push in? At the same time, his muscles were tense.

It seems like a compressed spring, ready to snatch it out at any time.

When Wood saw football, what he thought in his mind was not "I want to score a goal", but "How can we ensure that we accurately reach football.

And it won't be outrageously high," the latter is the most basic thing. When he was in the youth team, the coaches trained him repeatedly so that he could effectively control the air while defending. Now he has used the things he learned for defense to attack, and it feels... so wonderful!

"Head!"

Very powerful, the powerful power brought by Wood's abdominal muscles made him push the football hard towards the goal!

"Bang" Before Lehman could save, the football flew into his arms...

"It was too straight, although it was powerful, but it did not pose any threat to Lehman! But I think Arsenal players should think carefully about why their dense defense actually allowed George to push the ball without any interference?"

Wood grabbed the curly hair on his head. He was thinking about how to hit the ball inside his head, but forgot to observe the position of the opponent's goalkeeper. He forgot that the purpose of hitting the ball this time was not to clear the ball, but to shoot... He saw a man wearing a light-colored jersey in front of him.

Just push the ball over. It is a defensive habit.

Viduka came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Beautiful job, you scared them."

"No goal," Wood said.

"Don't be anxious. There's always a chance." Viduka pointed at Lehman, "Observe his position before the next shot and calm down."

Wood nodded.

Lehman was communicating with Fabregas about the ball just now, but looking at the unnatural expression on his face, it was probably not a simple "communication".

"He is definitely not a 'no need', Lehman. I know him very well, although it surprised me that he suddenly inserted this time..."

Lehman shrugged: "His shot was awful..."

"Even if you poke it with your toes, you may score a goal. There will always be times when you are lucky. What if you score? Don't take it lightly."

"Okay, I get it." Lehman patted Fabregas on the shoulder, "I'm going to kick off."

On the sidelines, when Wood was seeing him jumping high and then heading the ball, Albertini stood up from the bench. He was even ready to raise his hand to celebrate. Unexpectedly, Wood's ball was very powerful but too straight.

Half raised his hand and suddenly waved it, muttering and scolding.

Like him, Tony; Done, but his swear words were not muttering in his mouth, but he shouted loudly: "It's so fucking! This is the best chance we have so far! After we go back, we can shoot more for that bastard!" He waved his arm dissatisfied.

Albertini laughed when he heard Donn shouting.

Done was right. This was the best opportunity for the Forest team until now, and it was also the best opportunity for the Forest team in the first half. George; Wood suddenly inserted into Arsenal's defense.

No one would have thought that Wood, who was rarely inserted, would take the initiative to do this, but because Wood rarely inserted, he did not score a goal this time.

If it were Viduca, Anelka and Arteta who came to the top, they might score a goal, but would it be unexpected?

At the end of the first half, the famous red screen in the corner of the Highbury Stadium scored 1:0, with the home team leading.

If it's the ninety-minute game now, then that's what Wenger wants.

During the break, Don Eun commented on the first half in the locker room. He didn't say much about the concealment of the ball, and there was nothing to say, because it was a typical "Arsenal-style" goal.

Relying on the exquisite passes and cuts between the two players, the Forest team's defense was torn apart, making them lose sight of one thing, and finally a fatal loophole appeared.

"We were playing with them like toys throughout the whole process. But that's nothing, it's like this football game. In the second half, let's give them a 'forest-style'!" Tang En blinked at the players.

What is a "forest-style" goal like? Defensive counterattack. Quickly pass the midfield, pass the three passes and two downs to the opponent's goal, scoring the goal in the simplest and most efficient way.

Everyone believes that Tang En is talking about this goal.

Don Eun turned to Wood again and said, "That ball...you did a good job and continue like this in the second half."

But Wood shook his head: "If you continue like this, you will still not go in."

"Hey!" Tang En rolled his eyes, and someone next to him started to laugh. He glared at him, and the laughter disappeared.

"I mean you plug in the back, very firm and decisive. It's surprisingly good and powerful! Do you understand what I mean?" Tang En waved his arm every time he said.

Wood nodded: "I understand."
