"Now it's Nottingham Forest attacking. After the second half of the game started, they were very proactive and began to threaten Arsenal's goal frequently!"

Wood is not very involved in the offense. In this game, he was placed in a position where Don En needed defense. His role is to prevent the opponent from attacking. So now he has nothing to do, and he is standing behind as if he is watching a show.

Arteta led the ball through the midfield, and then Berry cooperated here, and the two crossed positions. Ribery went to the middle, while Arteta ran to the side. Whose feet was the football?

No one got the ball.

Arteta passed the football to Ribery when he was changing positions with Ribery. Then when the two crossed the positions, Ribery moved the football directly to the right side of the court, where Ashley; Young's territory.

"Ashley; Young, beautiful stop!"

Ashley; Cole came forward to defend this young player with the same name, and he did not dare to neglect him.

Zimbonda was plugging in the back and preparing to put the edge.

Ashley; Cole saw it, Ashley; Yang must have seen it, he dribbled the ball and cut inside, leaving space for Zimbonda to insert it, Ashley; Yang hesitated for a moment, but followed Ashley; Yang, as for Zimbonda, he left it to his teammates to clean up.

Ashley; Young continued to dribble the ball horizontally, and Zimbonda told him to run from behind that he had no intention of passing the ball, nor did he intend to change direction and break into the penalty area.

He was dribbling the ball into the middle, and Arsenal's defenders formed a wall in the penalty area, preventing him from suddenly passing through and preventing him from shooting.

Ribery was very close to him. The two made a cross-switch, this time it was Ashley; Young switched to the middle, and Ribery went to the right, and the football came to Ribery's feet when they were replacing.

Then just when everyone thought Ribery would continue to dribble the ball to the side, he suddenly made a cross with his right foot!

Viduka jumped high and headed the ball! Lehmann showed a brave look and pushed this very powerful shot out of the crossbar.

The Forests won the first corner kick in the second half, which was also their second corner kick in the entire game.

Pique and Pepe both ran up. They were ready to compete for the top, while George; Wood and Layton; Barnes stayed behind to guard against the opponent's counterattack.

"Look at them!" Lehman raised his arms and shouted loudly, and there was chaos in front of his door. "Pull it out!"

Arteta stood by the corner flag and prepared to kick off.

"This is Nottingham Forest's corner kick, and it's their chance."

The referee blew a whistle and indicated that he could take a corner kick.

Arteta assisted and made a cross!

The ball is fast and flat, with a small arc. Fly straight ahead!

When Arsenal's defensive attention in the penalty area was all focused on big men like Pepe, Pique and Viduka, Ribery suddenly came out of the diagonal spike, rushed forward, and then headed the ball!

“gooooooooal!!”

The city stadium was in full swing, and the home team scored a goal!

"Beautiful header! Frank; Ribery! He suddenly inserted. There was no one around to defend, the header was very powerful! Nottingham Forest took the lead at home!"

Tang En stood up from his seat with his arms raised, and when he needed to score, the goal arrived as scheduled. Is there anything more perfect than this?

Corner kick. Free kick... All set balls are practiced repeatedly during training, especially before important games. Today, they have achieved results.

He seemed to have seen the gate of the French Stadium in Paris, slowly opening in front of his eyes.

"2:1! Nottingham Forest leads the total score and has an away goal, they are getting closer and closer to the final!"

There were huge cheers in the stands, and the fans of Nottingham Forest were surrounded by great happiness.

Ribery ran towards the corner flag and hugged Arteta tightly with him. He scored in the European Champions League semi-finals, for Ribery two years ago. But something he dared not think about.

On the other side, Wenger, who had lost the ball, was very upset when he saw him sitting on the coach's seat and waved his hand hard. However, he was not in a hurry, because the second half had just started five minutes, and they still had at least forty minutes to equalize the score.

Nottingham Forest only scored one goal at Highbury Stadium, which is good news for Arsenal now. As long as Arsenal scores one goal, it can not only equalize the overall score, but also offset the Forest's away goal advantage.

Both sides have returned to the true starting line together.

But now these things are just the imagination that exists in Wenger's mind.

He needs players to put it all into effect.

Wenger stood up from her seat and didn't have to shout anything. The Arsenal players on the court all knew what to do. Everything was already arranged at the halftime.

I just lost a ball, and it was not yet at the end of my life.

The players of Nottingham Forest celebrated the goal with Ribery hugging everyone and then ran back to hug coach Tony; Donne.

Don Eun smiled and congratulated him, and then asked them to come on the court to play again.

"Good job, guys. Go back to the court and defend! Remember, defend! Our next task is to defend, don't let Arsenal seize the opportunity. Don't let us score goals and stick to the last second!"

Tang En felt that he was a little long-winded. There was no way. The closer he was to success, the more nervous he became. If possible, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve the pressure, but smoking was not allowed here.

The players obediently returned to the court, and the Arsenal people had already placed the football in the middle circle to prepare for the kickoff.

"If Arsenal wants to advance to the finals, attack with all his might, and strive to tie the total score early is the only way. I think... Wenger must have a way."

He does have a way. After the game restarted, Arsenal unexpectedly gave up the attack on the wing and instead fought hard on the middle. This is a practice that violates common sense. Even the commentator finds it incredible.

But Tang En, who was sitting on the home team's coaching seat, cursed Wenger in his heart for being cunning.

Wenger knew Wood's current situation and what he was most worried about with Don En.

He attacked the middle lane, used Wood as a target, concentrated his firepower and made Wood lose his attention, increasing his defensive pressure, and also increasing his chances of fouling.

Wenger must think that Wood will be afraid of playing cards and dare not use all his strength in defense because he is worried about getting a card. In this way, his team will have more opportunities to break through the defense line and thus equalize the score.

If there was no such conversation at the last moment of the intermission, Tang En would have thought so.

But... it was precisely because he knew that Wood would not change his playing style because of a yellow card that Arsenal's tactics made Done even more worried.

Wenger hopes to use Wood as a breakthrough point, score a goal, and equalize the score. Don En is only worried that Wood will get a yellow card for a foul in the face of an uninterrupted attack.

Arsenal players intentionally leaned towards Wood and then sought opportunities for breakthroughs here, even with some intentions to lure him into the trap.

Wood did not retreat, and the soldiers came to block the enemy. When the water came to cover the earth, he accepted everything as planned.

But when Tang Enke saw these scenes off the court, he could only bit his lips nervously.

"This bastard..."

Done squeezed out this sentence from his mouth, and David next to him; Chris Lack didn't know whether Done scolded Arsenal's head coach Wenger or the George who didn't listen to advice; Wood.

When Wood once again stopped Arsenal's attack with a foul, Wenger stood on the sidelines and waved to the field dissatisfiedly. He was unbearable for the referee's delay in playing cards.

He is also using this method to put pressure on the referee, hoping that he will play cards with Wood.

At the same time, there are also Arsenal players who are putting pressure on the referee. However, the referee only verbally warned Wood and had no intention of playing cards.

"George!" Van der Sar shouted from behind, "Don't forget your boss said to you..."

Wood ignored Van der Sar. He turned his back to the goalkeeper and said nothing.

When the next time, Arsenal's army was approaching, before Wood could step forward to defend, Arteta stumbled on Henry first.

The referee's whistle sounded again, and his whistle sounded very frequently during this period. Arsenal attacked fiercely, and the Forest's defense in the middle was very stressful.

Wood looked at Arteta with some surprise.

"Don't think I can't defend, George. I'm also a midfielder. Don't look down on me." Arteta turned his head and smiled at Wood.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity to line up the wall, Arteta turned around and shouted to his teammates around him: "George needs support, guys. Defense is not his own business! Be more conscious of having no cards on his body!"

Pepe smiled from the back: "George locked the front door alone, and we can only perform, but we can only head the ball."

"Then come up, Pepe. Arsenal's goal is very clear. They want to use the pressure of George's yellow card to create trouble for our defense. Don't give them such opportunities! They want to play. Let's play with them!"

When Arteta said this, George; Wood kept watching his midfield partner.

After giving the order, Arteta found Wood looking at him. He smiled and said, "You used to protect me, but now it's my turn to protect you once."

Henry's free kick hit the wall and did not pose any threat to Van der Sar's goal.

After this, Arsenal clearly discovered the changes in Nottingham Forest. They wanted to push Wood, but they would always meet people like Arteta, Ribery, and Pepe. In short, Wood could not be allowed to face the opponent's firepower directly.

Arsenal's offense once again reached a deadlock, and Wenger's wishful thinking did not start.

Tang En laughed when he saw this scene off the court. This is his team, this time it is his Nottingham Forest...

The game time was entangled by both sides. When people were still immersed in the suspense of whether Arsenal could equalize the score, no one noticed that it was only ten minutes before the end of the game.

George; Wood rarely fouls because his defensive pressure was dispersed and transferred to other teammates. Arsenal had no good way to face the Forest, which was determined to fight to the death.

They can turn their feet back and forth on the outside and make beautiful passes and cuts. But Nottingham Forest was not moved, so they just stood in their positions and didn't go out, allowing Arsenal to pass the ball outside, and then occasionally try long shots.

In order to make Wood be affected by yellow cards, Wenger chose to attack the middle lane. However, in football games, the way of attacking the middle lane is not wise, and it will only block all his offensive routes. In this afternoon.

Not to mention equalizing the score, Arsenal is likely to lose this game directly.

Wenger knew that this could not be done anymore. Although it was a pity that I could not use Wood to do some work, the critical moment is to equalize the score. I must change all this bad thing and bring the game back to the familiar track Arsenal has.

Wenger stood up and made a gesture into the field.

Donn replaced Viduka, who performed well, and replaced Eastwood. Unlike the first round, the substitution was not to delay the game.

Because Arteta had to help Wood defend. So the Forest's midfield was a little out of control. Donn replaced Eastwood to re-control the midfield and pushed Anelka to the front, while Eastwood was mainly responsible for connecting the midfield.

Just after he replaced Eastwood, the Forest suffered a heavy blow before he could regain control of the midfield.

Henry suddenly exerted force near the center circle. He cut off Ashley; the ball under Yang's feet, Arsenal took advantage of the situation to counterattack directly in the frontcourt. Forest's defense was caught off guard, and he was very embarrassed when facing Henry's breakthrough.

Arteta was the first to rush forward to stop it in order to protect George. But after all, he was not the one who specialized in this, and he was easily knocked over by Henry.
