Chapter 49 Something is not good

"A series of beautiful middle lane cooperation, two and one in a row! George Wood -'s powerful volley! The football bounced back on the crossbar, hit Casillas' back and bounced into the goal... Nottingham Forest took the lead at the Bernabeu Stadium!"

"The subtitles count the goal as Casillas' own goal, but we must remember George Wood's outstanding performance in this offense. It was his long shot that caught Casillas off guard... In fact, after the goal, the Forest players also surrounded Wood and congratulated him."

George Wood was indeed surrounded by his teammates in the center, and he was able to score first in the finals, so the subsequent games were much easier to play. So they didn't care whether this was an own goal. What's important is that they are now leading Real Madrid 1-0.

There was a booing sound in the stands. I don’t know if the booing was targeted at Nottingham Forest players or to Real Madrid, who was scored.

Poor Casillas got up from the ground, turned around and took out the ball from the goal, kicked it into the middle circle, and was still muttering in his mouth. He must be complaining about why he was so lucky. When he pounced over, the football just bounced back, and when he bounced back, it just hit him, and then flew into the goal just as soon as he hit him...

He didn't even know why this happened.   When he showed his courage in front of the goal and saved those shots that were impossible to save, the fans called him "Saint Igor", and he was as if God had possessed him.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Fortunately, he is a goalkeeper, and his psychological quality has always been very strong. He mumbled for a while and then pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking about this.

Michelle was a little unhappy with the fact that Real Madrid lost the ball first. After seeing the ball lost, he jumped out of his seat and waved his arms and complained endlessly. He was complaining about problems in Real Madrid's defense in the middle, and also complaining about this bad luck...

Nottingham Forest players were still celebrating the goal, and they were left alone amid the overwhelming booing. Michel pulled Ribery to the sidelines. He told him to pay attention to the things in the subsequent game.

"... After they lead, they will defend and counterattack, shrink the defense line, and we must press forward to attack."

Ribery nodded in agreement. In fact, he had no idea. What the head coach said was what he said.

"Be more determined when attacking forward. If there is no support from teammates around, you can shoot from a long time!" Michel pointed to the Forest goal and said, "George Wood is the one who is guarding you. You can pull him out of the middle and tell Russ to let him get in more active forwards."

Ribery knew that this was to make himself a bait, Diyala's offensive level was also good, and his passing and dribbling were good.

"They know to suppress our wings, and we do the same. Suppress their wings so that they can't fight back on the wings. Say to Ronaldo and Higuain, be more determined. Don't be timid, if they want to break through, then break through! Go!"

Ribery took the order and left.

Don Eun saw Michel calling Ribery back to arrange tactics separately, and he sneered. This kid is now the core of Real Madrid and is doing well.

"It may be a good thing to lose the ball in twenty-three minutes from another perspective, so that Real Madrid will have at least 67 minutes to equalize the overturn."

The game started again. The backward Real Madrid launched a crazy counterattack against the Forest. Their momentum forced Nottingham Forest to shrink its defense and turn to the defensive.

The commentator was a little proud because what he said before came true: "I said that if Nottingham Forest leads, they will defend and fight back. I was right. Tony Donn really recycled it. The excitement of the next game depends on when Real Madrid can open the Forest team's gate..."

Ribery became the core of Real Madrid's offense, he was responsible for organizing the offense, and occasionally he used long shots to test whether Akinfeyev's attention was concentrated in the game.

Pepe was extremely excited today. There were several times when Wood had posted Ribery, and he still rushed up to defend the same target.

Tang En just thought this was Pepe's excitement, and didn't take it seriously. Anyway, his double-handed defense with Wood did make Ribery a little busy and exhausted, and didn't have much energy to organize the attack.

It was not until the 31st minute that Pepe knocked down Ribery at the front of the penalty area, and the referee gave Real Madrid a direct free kick. Don Eun then slapped his thigh on the coach's table and complained: "Does he want to break Ribery's leg? This bastard! Pay attention to the action!"

Because of this foul, he received a yellow card. It was a foul behind the scenes, and he directly swept down Ribery, who was protecting the ball.

Real Madrid fans booed Pepe. Ribery fell to the ground and covered her ankle in pain. Michel stood up angrily and scolded the Forests for their atrocities. Tang En said nothing after scolding Pepe in private.

Ribery finally stood up from the ground and limped a little. He didn't glar at Pepe like other players, and he went to the side.

Pepe didn't let him go, but stared at him with his eyes unyielding.

Bell pulled his hand next to him: "Relax a little. Pepe!"

"I just don't feel good about him." Pepe stared at Ribery fiercely and said.

"Look at the place where you fouled." At this time, Wood also walked back and said to Pepe. He looked serious.

Pepe glanced at it and curled his lips.

The place where he fouled happened to be a little in front of the penalty area line.

"It's nothing. It's too close here, not a good distance for free kicks." It seems that what he said makes sense.

"It's better.  " Wood turned over to the wall with expressionless face.

There are many people who think about Pepe. The players of the Forest team all think that this distance is too close and is not a good position for free kicks.

The commentator also thought so: "Eighteen meters away from the goal... This distance is too close, either hitting directly on the wall or above the beam."

Cristiano Ronaldo stood in front of the ball, and it seemed that he was here to take the free kick.

Ronaldo is good at taking long-distance free kicks, which seems to confirm everyone's point of view.

Pepe's foul looks dangerous, but in fact, it may be the safest?

Real Madrid players did not try to squeeze into Nottingham Forest's wall. It seems that they have no expectations for this free kick.

Seeing this, Aaron Mitcher was going to wait in front to fight back, but Wood called him back to arrange the wall. His height of two meters and two meters is very eye-catching among the wall. Wood arranged for him to be in the most dangerous place, and the direction he guarded was the farthest corner of the goal, where Akinfeyev was the farthest away.

After the walls were arranged, the referee signaled that Real Madrid could kick off the ball.

Ronaldo stood behind the football, spread his legs apart, took a deep breath. Then he helped.

His running distance is a bit long, and he may volley hard, hoping to penetrate the forest team's wall. But when he ran behind the football, he picked his toes upwards!

The calf swings quickly, but the thighs are very small.

The football passes over the human wall, not to fly to the far corner, but to the near corner!

Akinfeev did not expect Ronaldo to play like this at all. He originally chose to pounce on the far corner. The center of gravity of his body shifted over, and then he found that the football was flying towards the near post. But it was too late to adjust the center of gravity. For a moment, his body stiffened and watched the football pass through the wall at the lowest height and flew straight into the goal.

this……

Akinfeev seemed to have been hit by a football. He instantly lost his center of gravity and all his strength, and fell backwards into the goal.

Pepe seemed to be unable to believe it, staring at the football inside the goal. Behind him were Real Madrid players cheering.

Tang En cursed below.

Michelle excitedly rushed back to the coach's seat from the sidelines and hugged the assistant coaches.

"Ronaldo's direct free kick score!" The commentator shouted excitedly. This time he was very happy for Real Madrid's goal - Nottingham Forest's defensive counterattack could not be hit, this game is even better!

If Tang En knew that the commentator had this idea, he would have felt very wronged, because he had never thought of playing a defensive counterattack after leading...

"Beautifully direct free kick! This was not a particularly good scoring opportunity, but Ronaldo's unique free kick arc still bypassed the wall and flew into the goal! Akinfeyev was completely deceived and he had no reaction!"

This time, a huge cheer finally broke out in the Bernabeu stands, and the white earth fans finally waited for the moment of being proud.

Tang En was still chattering: "This goal... Such a foul... and he also got a yellow card! I really can't figure out what the benefits of that foul!"

Eastwood smiled bitterly beside him. He thought he knew why. Some words were only spoken between players. No matter how the boss and their relationship are, or how high the prestige they have, he would not fully understand the thoughts of every player.

For example, Pepe said in the locker room that he looked down on Ribery more than once. He looked down on him not because he defected to Real Madrid for money, Pepe is not a saint, and he also knew that playing professional football is to make money. The reason he looked down on Ribery is because Ribery chose to leave when both the leader and the team were in trouble. He always wanted to find opportunities to retaliate against Ribery, and this final finally gave him a great opportunity.

Real Madrid became even more excited after the equalization, and their two sides were completely alive. They suppressed the momentum of Forest's counterattack. Amid the cheers of home fans, they launched a continuous attack on the heart of Forest's team, and on several occasions they had hit the goal of Forest's team. The defenders of Forest were in a mess.

After Real Madrid scored a goal, Tang En left the coach's seat, stood on the sidelines, and made different body language according to the situation on the field. When Real Madrid attacked the goal, he would clench his fists, straighten his back, and lean forward, as if the muscles on his body were tight. When Forest team took the ball to counterattack, he wrapped his hands around his chest, giving the players a sense of their coach's confidence, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

TV broadcast footage also frequently patronizes Don En. Sometimes his performance on the sidelines is really more exciting than on the field.

In fact, Tang En is not trying to be on TV close-ups, he is nervous...

No matter how he performed as if nothing had happened before the game, he was arrogant... He could not deny that Real Madrid had a great advantage in the Bernabeu game, which was sometimes even decisive in the finals. So he had to deal with it carefully. Scoring first was a good signal, reducing the pressure, but unexpectedly Real Madrid equalized the score in less than ten minutes. Now Real Madrid's morale is high, and Forest team inevitably suffered a blow. If one gets better and the other gets worse, the situation on the field may be reversed.

Now the Forest team is trying not to let Real Madrid completely overwhelm them. George Wood became the most dazzling star of the Forest team once. He ran tirelessly and fierce but clean defense on the back line, helping the team barely tie with Real Madrid.

In the eyes of most outsiders, Real Madrid has the advantage. Especially when it comes to the home atmosphere, it gives people the feeling that Real Madrid will capture the Forest team's goal at any time. Real Madrid's cooperation is pleasing to the eye, and it seems that they can get any pass, and they can play in any offense. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest is a little embarrassed. After Shahin was restricted by Diyala, the Forest's midfield almost became a pure engineer-type midfielder. Their role is not to organize the offense and connect the front and back courts, but how to try to destroy Real Madrid's offense... How can it be done if there is only destruction but no construction like this?

Evan Dogerty, who was watching the ball on the rostrum, looked increasingly ugly. He only smiled when the Forest team scored. Then he kept watching the game with a stern face. Since Real Madrid tied the score, the league has become even more ugly... But Florentino next to him always smiled, and even when the Forest team took the lead, he did not frown.

He is worthy of being a cunning tycoon, and his cultivation skills and scheming are incomparable to Evan Dogette.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 1:1. Although Real Madrid had the advantage, they could not break through the Forest's goal again. Forest's defensive system withstood the test. Don En has never been worried about his defense. What he was worried about is that if he put too much energy on defense, the offense would inevitably be damaged. The key to determining the outcome of this game is no longer defensive, but attacking...

Tang En took the lead in entering the corridor, thinking about how to save the situation in the second half.

The commentator felt sorry for Real Madrid: "I bet that as long as there are five more minutes in the first half, Real Madrid can break through the Forest goal again... or completely take the initiative on the court. After all, it is at the Bernabeu, which is their home court. This halftime break saved Donne, and we can also look forward to what kind of adjustments Tony Donne will make during the halftime break."
