Chapter 76: Can Win

Since his debut in professional football, George Wood has given people the impression that he has excellent defense and no offense.

Before, when everyone was playing against Nottingham Forest, they would not consider defending George Wood, and he almost never stepped forward and participated in the offense over half.

In the past, there were even some football critics who joked that Nottingham Forest had "twelve people on defense, but only ten people on offense", which shows how small Wood's contribution to the team's offense was.

But three and a half seasons have passed, and now everyone finds that the other half of his talent in the body of the "defensive genius offensive waste" is slowly awakening. His defensive performance in this game is relatively average, but his offensive participation is impressive.

How much potential does this kid have to explore?

"George Wood's shot! It's a pity that there was no goal. But this attack made Marklele very embarrassed... We rarely see Marklele like this. He was completely at a disadvantage in physical confrontation."

Terry came to support him, but he didn't catch up, so he had time to pull Marklele up. "Do you need help?" Out of kindness, he made Marklele feel despised. He waved his head hard: "It won't be like this next time, I promise."

He had to admit that he underestimated the opponent while defending Wood, because his previous impression of this man made him feel that Wood would not have any great threat.

He looked at Wood's back and clenched his fists.

This shame must be returned twice!

George Wood's shot on the left side did not allow Chelsea to adjust its defensive strategy. They still placed heavy troops on Ashley Cole's side, as if they were deliberately indulging George Wood.

The commentator is finding reasons for this arrangement, of course, it is the reason he came up with himself... Some commentators hope to do such things, rely on their own specious understanding to make judgments on the form of the game, and use their own brains to replace the head coaches of both sides.

It seems to be more professional than the head coach who directs the game, but this can deceive some viewers into supporting their views. If you guess correctly, you will be lucky. If you guess wrong, then just make a haha ​​and save the topic.

"Chelsea did not make any defensive adjustments to Wood's wing... It is actually normal.

Although Wood performed very actively in offense in this game, he was not a professional offensive player after all, and his offensive threat was not as great as that of Ribery, Lennon and others.

Chelsea cannot rush to adjust its defensive focus just because of his brief outbreak. Ashley Cole is obviously under greater pressure..."

In fact, this has nothing to do with which side has a big threat. Chelsea did not make any adjustments because of trust in veteran Marklele.

Marklelai has faced various offensive players in his career, many of whom are world-class experts. He has rich experience and has experienced all kinds of storms. Can George Wood still deal with it?

After van der Fate tasted the sweetness, he moved the football to the left without hesitation. Compared with the last time, his pass was just right in terms of strength and speed. George Wood could stop calmly without any effort.

Wood stopped. Marklelai also came up.

Everyone was looking forward to Wood's unreasonable breakthrough, but they didn't know that Wood was in a very uncomfortable situation on the field.

The football stopped at his feet, and the one standing opposite him was Marclayle, who was waiting for him. He did not come forward to grab his own earth, but he didn't know what to do.

As a defensive player, Wood can feel the pressure emitted by Marklele. The pressure that I have confidence to stop no matter where you break through.

From a professional perspective, Marklele is very good at this position. What's more, once Wood stops the football, he will not be good at it if he wants to do the moves next.

He is more suitable for doing the kind of work that keeps football moving. For example, when the breakthrough was successful just now, he made the next move under unconventional circumstances, without thinking with his brain, just follow the instinctive reaction of his body.

Once the body stops and the brain has the opportunity to think, the thoughts will get stuck.

what to do?

Marklele quietly looked at the man in front of him, and the ball under his feet, without any intention of stabbing it. He was waiting for Wood to do the move. Don't know what to do? As I thought.

This kid has too little experience in offense, and his amazing performance just now is just physical instinct.

He just needs to get stuck in the position and he has no choice.

Van der Fate didn't wait for another beautiful attack to appear, and he looked at Wood strangely.

There is obviously time to go back, as long as you can break through, you can create another threat. Wood decided to force a breakthrough. In the last confrontation, he knew that his physical and speed advantages were very obvious, since that time could be done. Then this time should be OK.

Wood suddenly kicked the football under his feet forward and was about to start. At the same time, Marklele quickly turned around and separated him from the football. Wood had not yet accelerated, but just started and hit Marklele's back.

He wanted to knock the Frenchman away, but he did hit Maclale, but he did not tilt to the side to clear his way, but pushed Maclale to the football ahead.

The opponent took advantage of the situation to catch up with football and intercepted the football that originally belonged to him.

Defensive success.

Wood was stunned for a moment and quickly launched a counter-robbery on the spot. He rushed towards Marklele like a cheetah, and the two of them were entangled.

Essin came up to pick him up, which helped Marklele get out of the predicament, otherwise he might have just grabbed Wood's ball and was snatched back by Wood... That was even more embarrassing.

After the football passed to Essing, Wood also changed his target and turned around and rushed towards Essing.

Marklele looked at his opponent's back and shook his head gently.

The interesting guy changed his role so quickly after being intercepted, and it seemed that he was not affected by the loss of the ball at all... Or he was always ready to lose the ball and was always ready to counterattack on the spot?

Thinking of this, Marklele suddenly wanted to laugh, and it was indeed like a defensive player's mind.

Although he is the enemy now, Marklele likes this taciturn young man a little. Perhaps it is because he is specializing in defense and has fewer and fewer players of sufficient level.

On the court, they are all blue-collar workers who are unattended, but they are indispensable and important figures in every team. This is really contradictory...

But boy, I know you are in good health and fast. Defense is not a job that can eat the whole world by relying on your body alone.

"Marklelai and Wood are facing each other..." Don murmured off the court, "This must be the idea of ​​that bastard Mourinho." He turned his head and looked at the Chelsea coaching seat next door. Mourinho was staring at the stadium with concentration.

Mourinho was willing to use Marklele to guard George Wood, which did not expect that Donne would have thought that Marklele would always follow Van der Fate.

Now Van der Fate is followed by Essin, George Wood is entangled by Marklele, and he assists Ashley Cole in the wing and is heavily deployed by Chelsea.

The scene was deadlocked again, and the Forest's offense did not improve for a long time.

Tang En glanced at the big screen, and there was game time on it. It was now the 68th minute of the game.

He decided to make a substitution adjustment.

There is no one on the bench now, and the players are going out to warm up. Every once in a while, they are called out by assistant coach Chris Lack to warm up to ensure they can play at any time when they need it.

"Go and call the little monkey." Tang En said to Tang, and Tang took the order and left.

Soon, Gareth Bale ran back with excitement, and when he saw Tang En, he asked, "Boss, is it time for me to play?"

Tang En nodded, took the tactical board from Tang, and pulled Bale to the sidelines.

"You go up and support the offense. Have you seen Wood's current position?" He pointed to the stadium and asked. Wood was getting the ball on the wing, and Marklele forced him up. This time Wood did not choose to force a breakthrough, but passed the football to Van der Fate.

This move was a bit helpless because it was Van der Fate who passed the football to him just now.

"See it." Bell nodded.

"We were blocked from the right side, and Wood on the left side now lacks support. If you can get the edge from the back, Marklele will be very uncomfortable."

Leiden Barnes' defense is indeed better than Bale, but now what Donne needs is offense, not defense. He wants to win Chelsea away, not just content with a draw.

"If you put the edge and the bottom, you must be more determined and you cannot hesitate.

Otherwise, you can't pull Ma Clayle away. You can rush forward, don't consider the defensive matter when attacking, and don't think too much about what if you lose the ball... In short, remember that when you rush up, there is George Wood behind you."

After Tang En said this, Bell laughed even happier.

"Okay. Get ready to go and take off this vest."

"Nottingham Forest substitution. No. 2 Gareth Bale replaced No. 2 Leiden Barnes."

Nottingham Forest's latest adjustments were broadcast on the stadium radio.

Mourinho looked at Bale who ran on the court, and this figure evoked his unpleasant memories. The kid became famous and scored a winning free kick at the last moment of the game with his team.

Gareth Bale is a full-back who is stronger than defense. It is obvious that Don Eun replaces him - he needs to strengthen the offense.

Mourinho is not afraid of Don En's strengthening his offense, but he is afraid that Don En's defensive strength will not be able to shrink. Now, as long as Don En has the willingness to attack, Chelsea will have a chance to score.

With twenty minutes left in the game, let's see who scores the first goal!

After Bale came on the court, Forest's left offense was strengthened. Marklele immediately felt the pressure of one-on-two.

When he watched Wood, Bale always rushed up quickly from behind. At this time, should he throw Wood down or ignore Bale?

Dilemma.

When he decided to keep an eye on Wood, Wood passed the ball to Bale who was inserted in the back. Bale easily broke through and made a cross. If it weren't for Terry, Van Nystrue would have hit the ball again.

Don En broke the original balance on the court with this move. If Chelsea does not adjust their defensive strategy, they will be sieve on the right.

Mourinho had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​heavily deploying troops on the left and restore the defense line to normal.

The best defense now is not to work hard on the back line, but to seize the time to launch an attack, use a powerful offensive to push the Forest team back, and to defeat the Forest team's arrogance.

As Mourinho said in his heart before, at the last moment of the game, it is not who has more stable defense, but who has more sharp attacks.

"After Gareth Bale came on the court, he effectively strengthened the Forest's offense on the left side. But there are also disadvantages. In this way, their defensive power will be even weaker.

Wood needs to take into account both offense and defense, and the two full-backs frequently assist. I think the opportunity Chelsea is waiting for has finally come."

Chelsea players think the same way.

They strengthened their attacks, and Drogba, Shepchenko, and Robben all got shots one after another.

It was different from the first half. There was a lot of room to be used in the defense line of the Forest team in front of them, and the defense around them was not as tight as before.

After saving the opponent twice in a row, Van der Sar was so anxious that he shouted at the teammates who were pressing up: "Please pay attention to the defense! If you go up, you will come back. If you can't come back, don't go up!"

Of course, Don En also sees the current situation. Chelsea's offensive is a countermeasure to the Forest team's adjustment this time.

He stood up from the coach's seat, walked to the sidelines, and shouted to the inside: "Simbonda.

Go back to defend!" After Bale went up, both full-backs assisted too risky, allowing Chimbonda, who had better defense, to go back to strengthen the defense and curb Chelsea's attack.
