Chapter 69 The core of Real Madrid

During the halftime break, Guti had to face the situation in the second half as he imagined. He might be able to learn from previous games to experience it in advance, but those teams are not Nottingham Forest, and the head coaches of those teams are not Tony Donne.

After the second half began, he quickly understood what situation he would spend in the second half.

George Wood was still here to guard him, but the person who violated him was replaced by Van der Fate and others.

Originally, Guti made up his mind during the halftime break that no matter how Wood provoked him, he would not be angry. On the contrary, he had to try every means to get Wood out of the game. The current situation was completely different from what he imagined. The Forest team asked these people to take turns to provoke him, either directly foul, or rough movements between foul and not foul, or just to make some small moves that the referee could not see, making Guti angry.

There were several times when he almost couldn't help it, and wanted to take revenge hard and then leave - he knew that his revenge would definitely be a red card.

But after all, he was just thinking about it and did not put it into practice.

Now, he has indeed made great progress in controlling his temper.

The game continues, and Real Madrid's offense is still mainly organized by Guti. After Guti was violated by Nottingham Forest players many times, other Real Madrid players consciously took over Guti's job. Diyala was very active in the offense. Although his offensive level may be the weakest among the four Real Madrid midfielders, he is indeed the most active one, because he is a midfielder and he will have more opportunities to get the ball.

This is really incredible. Diyala should be mainly defending, but now he has rushed to the front of the Forest’s penalty area many times and never returns. Sometimes he is also seen on the right side... In short, everything he does is related to offense. And when the Forest’s counterattack, Diyala is still running back slowly in front - his speed is really not fast, and he has some special running postures, and he looks like he is powerless and unable to run fast, which is really anxious.

Sneider is a very comprehensive midfielder, but in Don't see it, it would not work.

For some reason, Donne was always worried about Sneider's football. What were he worried about? He was worried about his proactive mistakes. He always seemed unable to control the football. The movement was very large and he seemed very rash. His main tasks on the left side of Real Madrid midfield were to assist in offense and defense, anyway... He was a little embarrassed under the advancement of Nottingham Forest.

Robinho on the other side is more flexible, and he is a person who makes Don En headache. Because his personal skills are excellent, he sometimes becomes an important factor in breaking the balance in a deadlock.

In general, Real Madrid has the advantage on the field, and Nottingham Forest still focuses on defense.

Tang En observed Guti off the court, and found that Guti was obviously very angry. But he just didn't vent, which made him very depressed. If Guti could really control his temper, then the one who was unlucky in the end was himself...

Because there are more fouls, the chance of eating cards is higher. It is not a good thing to eat more cards.

But Tang En could not change this decision, because although it was a provocation and stimulation to Guti, at the same time, from a formal tactic point of view, Nottingham Forest must also strictly guard Guti. He cannot give him too much room for movement, otherwise his direct pass may tear through the forest team's defense line.

Twelve minutes later in the second half, Van der Fate finally received a yellow card. He was warned by the referee for putting down Guti behind his back. The Bernabeu booed in the stands. These fans did not think that Van der Fate should not have received a yellow card, but believed that the referee gave a yellow card too late - according to their standards. George Wood should have been sent off in the first half, and ten minutes later the Forest team should have only one goalkeeper Van der Sar left...

Guti still didn't burst out, even with a smile on his face. Is he ridiculing the foul Vanderfate or the sarcastic idea that Tony Don?

Tang En sat on the coach's seat, frowned and looked serious.

The location of Vanderfate's foul was not very good...

Twenty-five meters away from the goal, the front of the penalty area is on the left.

The players of Nottingham Forest defended for 60 minutes. Sneijder, who made continuous mistakes, stood in front of the football. He was wearing a No. 23 jersey. The original owner of this jersey was standing in the wall at this moment. He protected his chest with his hands and looked at the new Real Madrid No. 23 in front of him nervously.

Since Beckham and Robert Carlos left, the first free kicker in Real Madrid has become this Dutch kid.

The beginning of this season is perfect for Sneijder. His crazy goals, crazy victory, long shots and free kicks have made achievements for Real Madrid, especially after he knocked Villarreal's goal with a free kick, he was praised as the "New Beckham".

Of course, Sneider himself doesn't like to call him that because it sounds like he's just a replacement for Beckham, but in fact he's Sneider, not someone's second child.

Sneider stood in front of the ball and stared at the front with all his attention. Guti stood beside him, and everyone knew that he was covering Sneider, and everyone looked at Sneider.

The human wall was built under Van der Sar's command, blocking the near corner, and then Van der Sar retreated back to the far corner.

"Sneider is ready to play this ball..."

The referee's whistle sounded, and before the commentator could finish his commentary, he saw Guti running towards the football. The Forest team's wall was unmoved because they knew it was a fake shot, and the Dutch man behind it was real.

Guti didn't run directly from the football. He paused in front of the ball and then swung his left leg...

Tang En suddenly stood up from his seat, and he shouted, "Oh..."

Sneider stood behind Guti without even moving, and watched the football be kicked up by Guti, flew over the stunned wall of people and fell straight to the corner of the goal!

Van der Sar did not expect that Guti would be the one who came to shoot the free kick. He had no reaction and just turned his head and watched the football fly into the goal.

Looking back at the football entering the door, Guti clenched his fists and shouted. Sneither next to him wanted to come up and hug him, but almost got an elbow. The anger accumulated in his chest by the continuous invasions was finally given a chance to vent. At this moment, he was simply an erupting crater, and there was danger when approaching him.

It was Raul who was the first to rush up and hug him tightly. He accommodated the hot magma that Guti sprayed out.

This goal is too important for Real Madrid.

"Guti!Guti!Guti--!" A huge cheer burst out from the Bernabeu's stands. These people shouted the name of their deputy captain and jumped out of their seats.

Like them, Shuster and others rushed out with their arms raised, and they equalized the score, and a huge rock in his heart finally landed...

The goal finally fell, but Tang En was not furious. He stood on the sidelines and just shook his head.

It seems that Guti is beyond imagination today and is unmoved to face those provocations. Tang En felt that he had to give up the tactical arrangements he mentioned during the halftime break. Just let Wood come alone to deal with Guti. More people will only mess up their own rhythm.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent was still celebrating the goal, Donn called Wood to his side.

"George, go up and tell them that Goodie is yours, you are alone." He pointed at Wood. He said to him.

Wood nodded.

"If you want to make a foul, it is best to be near the center circle and in front of the penalty area, and try not to turn around as the main defensive strategy. You know how to do it."

Wood continued to nod.

"Stop giving them free kick opportunities in dangerous places like this, breaking dense defense. Settings are an important means. Tell them to focus more on counterattacks, and we have to score another goal if we have the chance."

"Okay." Wood turned around and was about to run back, and Tang En stopped him again.

"Be careful not to eat cards, George."

Wood nodded, turned around and ran back to the court.

Tang En also walked back to the coach's seat, sat down, shrugged at Tang beside him, looking helpless.

Tang comforted him: "It's nothing. We have a away goal, and it's just a draw now. Overall, we have the advantage."

Don En shook his head and did not accept this comfort: "I wanted to leave the Bernabeu with victory before the game..."

"The competition is not over yet." Tang had no choice but to continue to comfort him.

Tang En didn't say anything, he turned around and started to pay attention to the game on the court.

Wood returned to the court with Donne's latest order, and then Guti found that there was no one besieging him, and George Wood was the only one left in front of him. He turned his head and looked at the coach's seat in Nottingham Forest. He knew that this must be what the head coach meant.

Did he find it useless to let so many people deal with me?

Guti smiled proudly.

Yes. He was once forced to make a successful direct pass. Apart from cross-passing and back-passing, he was a mistake. But you can't help but let me get a free kick, right? Don't think that Real Madrid used to have Figo, Robert Carlos, Beckham, and Zidane. Now with Sneider, others won't play free kicks.

You besieged me, just like my wish.   So many fouls, there is always one time I will get the most suitable free kick opportunity I want.

But Guti quickly couldn't laugh. After he found that fewer people besieged him, his chances did not increase as well. George Wood no longer aims to stimulate him as his first goal, but is seriously defending him.

As a famous defensive genius, Guti was miserable by Wood - if he was far away from the goal, Wood would intercept the ball if he could intercept the ball. If he couldn't intercept the ball, he would not hesitate to use a hidden foul to solve the battle; when he was close to the penalty area, he mainly interfered and did not easily make a kick, forcing Guti to hand over the football to his teammates. If Guti insisted on fighting Wood alone, it would be as he wished... But Guti didn't win many times.

In addition, when Real Madrid wants to attack and pass the football to Guti from the backcourt, Guti is used to turning his head around to observe the positions of his teammates and opponents before receiving the ball, and then he can decide what to do when he receives the ball. And Wood will take advantage of this opportunity and rely on his explosive power to suddenly grab it, breaking the ball that should belong to Guti several times.

Later, Guti had to consider protecting the football when receiving the ball, and then think about how to organize the offense. This way, Real Madrid's offense was greatly reduced.

Robinho is an excellent player, but he cannot be the organizer of the team's offense. He is alone in the battle between the two full-backs of the wing and the Forest team, but unfortunately he has very little help to Real Madrid's offense. Some people may like to watch him perform fancy skills when facing the defender. But in Tang En's eyes, such performances are useless, because unless he can break through straight lines, he is just doing horizontal movements outside. No matter how fancy the movements are, it is no different from the clown in the circus.

Robinho's movements are much more practical than when he first came to Real Madrid, but the "flasty" side of Brazilian nature is still deeply rooted. Sometimes when he is persistent in the movements under his feet, the team has lost the opportunity to attack. Moreover, his movements are too complicated, not as simple and practical as Messi. Messi's characteristic is one word - fast, fast movements, and fast paces. This is the most practical technique in modern football.

Every time I see Robinho starting to ride a bicycle when facing Bale or other defensive players, Done smiles. If my defender is deceived by a few actions that know it is fake, Nottingham Forest will no longer call "becoming a European champion by defense". With the skill of cycling with his head buried, wouldn't it be better to pass the ball directly with a fake shot?

When Robinho first debuted, people exclaimed that he was the "Belle successor". But in Donn's eyes, Robinho's progress in recent years is really limited, and it is still a few light years away from people's expectations for him...

At least Roninho in this game is not afraid of it.

After Guti scored, he was taken care of by George Wood in close-kick; Robinho was trapped in the quagmire of fighting alone and unable to get out; Sneider was in modest form and was exhausted between offense and defense; Higuain was a little at a loss under the fierce close-kick of the Forest team, and made frequent mistakes...

Only Raul is as diligent as ever, but he lacks effective support from the midfield and cannot get the ball. Driven by responsibility when defending, he even has to go back to the penalty area. How much energy can he use to participate in the offense is really doubtful... Of course, it is not that he is not that he is not that he is working hard, but that he feels that working too hard in defense may affect his performance in the offense.

As for Marcelo and Ramos, Schuster was obviously afraid of the Forest's wing attack and asked them to assist frequently.

Real Madrid has no choice but to defend Nottingham Forest.

And what about Nottingham Forest? There were several opportunities to counterattack but they didn't seize it. In the end, Real Madrid's attack was crazy, and they simply didn't even have the chance to counterattack...

The score at the end of the game was 1:1.

This score must have made Schuster very unhappy, but he did not show it. He just stood on the sidelines for a while, then turned around and shook hands with Don En, then lowered his head and walked into the corridor.

After winning the away goal and a draw, Tang En did not show his happy side. He was a little helpless - he wanted to win, but unfortunately he was a little short of it.
