Chapter 111 Battle Red
Chapter 111 Zhan Hong
After experiencing a crazy injury stoppage time, at the post-match press conference, both sides were still paying attention to two goals in injury stoppage time.
Don En was very happy to tie the score at the last moment, and for this he didn't mention that he wanted to win the game before the game.
"What else do I have to be dissatisfied with when the team has performed like this? This result fully demonstrates the style of Nottingham Forest, and I am very happy."
The draw and final goal of this game are of great significance to the Forest, further enhancing the morale and confidence of the team. It laid a solid foundation for the upcoming Liverpool and Christmas Devil schedule.
Ferguson seemed a little annoyed, but he still accepted the result: "So what if I can't accept it? This is football. I really didn't expect them to equalize the score at the last moment..."
When Ibissevic shot the football into the gate guarded by Foster, it was definitely an exaggeration to say that Ferguson's expression was ashamed, but it was not bad to say that "it's ugly".
This expression continued until he shook hands with Tang En. He was in no mood to greet Tang En, and shook hands with Tang En like a dragonfly and left.
He overtook the score at the last moment and was equalized at the last moment. This ups and downs really make people worry whether his heart can withstand it. The only thing that is thankful is that this game is just a league game, not a knockout match in the Champions League or the FA Cup.
Ibisevic, who scored a last-minute equalizer for Nottingham Forest, played for a short time, but he was named the best in the game and received a reward of a bottle of champagne. He was very happy that he could score the last goal, but he did not take the credit for one person, but humbly stated that this was the credit of the whole team. Without the long pass of captain Wood, he would not have had the chance to score.
In addition, he also mentioned another hero who was able to equalize the score: "When I had not adapted to the Premier League, the boss talked to me alone. He told me that Nottingham Forest football is a football that never gives up and that he can't give up under any circumstances. I'm very happy that I did this."
The Manchester United players interviewed were a little uncomfortable. "I really didn't expect them to press the frontcourt at that time... We were a little panicked..." Leo Ferdinand explained the concealment of the ball for his central defender partner.
Vidic, who concedes the goal, quickly walked into the locker room with his head down and did not accept an interview with any reporter. I believe that Ferguson would not let him go after returning to the locker room. He would definitely not be able to escape a scolding.
Tang En smiled throughout the press conference, and he did not hide his love for the result. Ferguson looked gloomy and told everyone to know that he was very upset and very upset now.
After the press conference, Donn returned to the locker room and found that the players were still talking about the two goals in the injury time of the game. Obviously they were also excited about this.
Tang En clapped his face and signaled the players to calm down. He had something to say.
"Is it exciting to tie the score at the last moment?"
A group of people laughed. It was really exciting.
"I am proud of your performance in the last three minutes. This is the Nottingham Forest I hope to see. But..." He changed his tone and his expression turned cold. "I still want you to know that if we can score earlier and take the situation into our own hands earlier, all of us will not have to experience this stimulation."
Tang En touched his heart: "I have a problem here, I don't want to experience such ups and downs a few more times. This game is a lesson for you - never entrust your destiny to something invisible and intangible. We can equalize the score and also see that this is because Vidic made a very low-level mistake at the last moment. You can't always expect your opponents to make such mistakes. Your destiny must be held in your own hands. Only then can you be at ease." He clenched his fists, as if he really had to hold his destiny.
After saying this, the smile reappeared on his face: "But the last ball is really great! Everyone did a good job! Now you can celebrate it!"
Slap first and then give a candy. It will not make the players too proud, nor will it make them feel that the head coach is too strict and inhumane.
The team's morale is now high, and Don is not worried about playing Liverpool at all.
After the game, when Ferguson invited Don En to drink with him, his mood seemed to return to normal, at least there was no trace of anger on the surface. He seemed a little helpless.
After the game, the media all claimed that Ibisevic had brought an important point to the Forest. However, Ferguson had different opinions.
"They said Wood's kick was just a relief kick forward, and I don't think so. He thought he was a premeditated long pass."
Tang En smiled. He didn't say yes or no. Anyway, Wood always has that kind of trick, and with his strength, he would definitely not be able to play the ball.
"Are you really no longer considering coaching in Manchester United?" After this game, Ferguson believed that Donn was the most suitable head coach for Manchester United.
"No, jazz." Tang En shook his head as he played with the wine in the glass.
Since he had a heart attack, he has basically quit the cup. However, after the game, he still had to drink a cup with his opponents out of politeness, but one cup was not in the way. So Shania and the doctors did not stop him, and he knew that he would just drink a cup with his body.
I felt so uncomfortable when I quit drinking at first. Now I don’t think I can’t drink it anymore.
"What a pity..." Ferguson murmured.
Tang En once again rejected Ferguson's invitation. Ferguson knew that with Tang En's personality, he would not accept the invitation again. So when he retired, can this Premier League overlord continue to be brilliant? Although he knows that there are peaks and troughs, this is a natural law, but it still cannot be accepted in his emotions when he happens to his team...
He hopes that someone can continue his glory at Manchester United. Unfortunately, the most talented person rejected him twice.
Tang En saw the old man's thoughts. He advised: "I think you are in good health. Why don't you keep working?"
"You don't look like I want to retire, I think this is a very strange thing. Are we not opponents? Tony?" Ferguson looked at Donn.
Tang En smiled: "If you leave, I may not win more championships, because even if you are here, I can win many championships. Haha! But without you, I always feel that something is missing."
Ferguson drank the wine in his glass in one go: "Don't worry, there's that guy Wenger. You won't be lonely."
"Professor, I won't be verbal fight with him." Tang En shrugged, "It's still interesting to be quarrel with someone like you."
Ferguson suddenly understood what Tang En's hand "what is missing" means.
Mourinho left, leaving him with a missing person who could spit on each other. When he retired, almost none of the people who stayed could beat Don En on the verge of his mouth. No wonder he felt lonely.
"If you feel that no one scolds you, you feel uncomfortable, even if I retire, I can still scold you in the newspaper every week. Tony."
Tang En burst into laughter when he heard this. What an interesting old man!
He also raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass: "If your successor is mediocre, don't you mind if I teach him a lesson for you, right?"
"As long as you can."
The Forests, who returned to Nottingham, soon welcomed Liverpool.
Due to the shaking hands with Manchester United away, Nottingham Forest's points were surpassed by Liverpool and returned to fourth place in the league.
Liverpool returned to the third place after winning Everton 3-2 at home. However, they also paid a very heavy price for this Liverpool City derby victory.
Central defender Agh was sent off for elbowing Everton striker James Vaughan in the game and was suspended for three additional games.
Dutchman Ryan Babel left the game with injury. He will be missing for three weeks.
Pennant was also injured. Although it was not too serious, he would definitely not be able to play against the Forests.
In addition, Habi Alonso and Kuyt were injured before. Not many people can use Benitez.
In view of this, Benitez was very low-key on the road. He put on a defensive posture and planned to win with one point. The team lost too much offensive players, but they basically retained their original strength in defense. Although Agg received a red card, he only started suspending the game in the next game, so he can still play against Nottingham Forest.
So in the midfield, Benitez also arranged a very thick defensive formation. Lucas, Mascherano, double midfielder configuration, and Gerald was centered in front to form a triangle.
Gerald is the main attacker, Mascherano and Lucas are the main defense.
It can be seen that Benitez is very afraid of the Forest's attack.
This result really made Tang En burst into tears - so many years have passed. Finally, an opponent will make defensive adjustments because he is afraid of the Forest's offense...
Although Benitez made such adjustments, his team still did not get any advantage in the city stadium.
Benitez's thick array lasted for only twenty-seven minutes before it collapsed.
After Lucas and Mascherano's matched mistake was seized by Jikic, he used his body to protect the football under the heavy siege of the two people until Cohen ran up to meet him. He made a move to pass the ball to Cohen, but took advantage of the moment when the encirclement was loose. He passed the football to Shahin in the opposite direction.
After Shahin received the ball, he passed it to Lennon from the left. He did not pass the ball directly to Lennon's feet, but imaginatively passed the ball in front of him. He could fully utilize Lennon's speed advantage.
Lennon increased his speed and snatched the ball away from Liverpool right-back Alvaro Aveloa, and directly broke through Liverpool's defense!
Next, he did not go down the bottom, but directly penetrated into the penalty area. Facing Ag's defense, he shot with a hidden kick, and the football penetrated Renner's ten fingers!
Nottingham Forest leads 1:0!
In this game, Don did not send Eastwood and Van Nistrui, who were relatively weak in ability, but used two strong and tall forward partners Ibissevic and Zickic. It was to fight against Liverpool's powerful midfield and backcourt defensive players.
He succeeded.
This concealment of the goal put Liverpool in a very difficult situation. They definitely cannot continue to defend and can only attack. This must be just in line with Tang En's appetite.
Both the commentator and Benitez thought Tony Donne would let his team play a defensive counterattack. But they both forgot Tony Donne is a head coach who likes to go against others.
This time, Nottingham Forest played against Liverpool at home.
The game was very exciting and intense. Both sides got a lot of opportunities, and the goalkeepers of both teams became the busiest and most outstanding players for a period of time.
Before the end of the first half, Ibisevic caught Renner's save and shot the ball into the net. This was his 11th league goal this season and his 14th total goal. Nottingham Forest led 2:0 to enter the break.
The team showed extraordinary optimism during the break, which forced Don Eun to blacken his face again to play the role of a villain, reminding them not to take it lightly.
"Who do you think your opponent is? It's not a cat or a dog, it's Liverpool! They have a captain Gerald who is as unyielding as us! If anyone relaxes his vigilance and is too optimistic, even if we lead three goals, we may be overturned in the second half!"
He was not wrong. Ten minutes into the second half, Liverpool relied on a free kick to cooperate with their captain Gerrard to score a goal.
This ball greatly boosted Liverpool's morale because it was really beautiful. It was powerful and had a tricky angle. Akinfeev was stunned and at a loss when he hit.
If Liverpool is allowed to continue playing like this, it will be a matter of time before the score is equalized. Donne had to make adjustments, replace Shaheen with Thiago and strengthen the middle lane.
After Thiago went up, he ran actively so that the Forest's midfield could compete with Liverpool's midfield. He also got back to his disadvantage little by little and wiped out the fighting spirit of Liverpool players. After another ten minutes passed and Liverpool did not score, their offensive momentum finally weakened.
How could Nottingham Forest miss such an opportunity?
Go back with one rush.
Cohen and Barnes played two-pass and one-on-one on the left and directly made a cross. Jikic once again used his ability to dominate the air force, overwhelming Ag and Martin Scottel (martin_skrtel), headed the ball into the net. The score was expanded to 3:1.
Just two minutes later, Ibisevic made a comeback and used a tricky long shot from outside the penalty area to penetrate Reina's ten fingers. 4:1!
The game has basically lost its suspense.
But Gerald was still looking for a chance to score. He knew that in the 86th minute, he finally scored the second goal for the team. However, the 2:4 score was only four minutes before the end of the game, nothing could be changed.
Nottingham Forest is not Manchester United, and they will not let Liverpool be the one in the last round of the league.
In the last moment, the entire Nottingham Forest team recovered and withstood Liverpool's fierce attack. The score of 4:2 was defended to the end of the game. Successfully scored three points!
Chapter completed!
