Chapter 87: Wall (Part 2)

McLaren calculated that Wood was not experienced enough, but did not count that Donne used the defense of the whole team to eliminate this instability factor. In the Sonley Wall, anyone who was broken through was not fatal, because someone around him would help make up for the defense.

Do you remember the eighth-final match of the host France team facing Paraguay, the weakest in the top 16 in the 16th World Cup? Paraguay used the defense in football to almost complete the situation, but in the end they failed. Don N believes that it was because Paraguay's defense was too negative, relying too much on the personal abilities of goalkeeper Chilavit and a few defenders. Now Forest team really relies on the whole team to defend. Don N N never handed over the chance to decide the success or failure of the defense to the goalkeeper, because when the opponent's forward shot against the goalkeeper, it often means that his defense has failed by 90%.

Nottingham Forest will not give Middlesbrough players a comfortable opportunity to control the ball. As long as they enter their own defensive area, they will immediately feel that the pace of the game has increased by more than twice! If they do not pass, stop or dribble as soon as possible, the football under their feet may be thrown away.

The "FIFA 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup Technical Report" once pointed out that the winner and loser who breaks the balance of the top competition may be: the coach decides on the spot, the star performs in his own personal performance, a counterattack, a set piece, and a mistake.

In addition to the "coach's decision on the spot", Tang En hopes to use "wall-style defense" to minimize the chances of the other four golden rules.

In his eyes, the only person in Middlesbrough who may rely on his personal abilities to decide the outcome of the game is the Great Joninho. But now his condition is not as good as before, and previous experience has long proved that most Brazilian players are not accommodating to English football, and Great Joninho is no exception. His playing in England is sometimes good and sometimes bad, which has a lot to do with this reason.

In this crazy, almost foul pressing, Da Juninho couldn't even play 30% of his usual abilities, let alone change the results of the game.

As for another once famous star player, Mendieta... since he decided to leave Spain and go abroad, he has no longer had any threats. He is the kind of player who can only show his best condition in a specific football environment, a specific team, or a specific coach. Italian football is not suitable for him, just like English football.

Perhaps Tangning's speed and impulse can bring some variables, but he is also inexperienced. In addition, his passes and shots are far inferior to speed.

This is the best strategy that Tang En can arrange for Middlesbrough. As for the actual situation in the game, it depends on the on-site command level of the head coaches of both sides... and this is the contest that Tang En is least afraid of.

When Jucinho finally drove the ball over Forest’s defensive midfielder Gunnarson, but George Wood ran away from the side, but the referee was indifferent, the booed the Middlesbrough fans in the stands. In their opinion, almost every move of the Forest team was enough to meet the foul standards, and the referee’s penalty made them feel very uncomfortable.

But while they booed, have they ever thought about this question? Juninho, who was 1.65 meters tall and George Wood, who was 1.86 meters tall, had physical contact. Even if he bumped into it properly, he would not stand any cheaper. The referee was next to the two of them. He saw the ball very clearly. Wood did not commit a foul, and he made a quicker kick than the Brazilian.

Juninho felt the pressure caused by Wood's pounce on him while dribbling, so he planned to avoid the side, but Wood quickly poked the ball under his feet, and then couldn't stop the car and simply knocked over the Brazilian in the frontcourt positioning ball.

The referee was very careful. Juninho on the field slapped the turf in anger, while Tang En from the field provocatively gave a thumbs up to the field.

"Nottingham Forest's defense organization is very successful. At least from the 24 minutes of the first half, this is like this. Middlesbrough, who has put on the strongest attack lineup, only had four shots after half of the first half. And it was not within the goal frame. Most of the time, they always kept losing the ball by the Forest players. Taylor, I think if Coach Don changed to a fast forward, the score might be 2:0 now, and the Forest will lead!"

Martin Taylor smiled and said, "You're right, but if Coach Donn plans to attack, then his team can't devote himself to the defense. This game is not exciting at all, but it's a key game. I think none of them are willing to make mistakes. After all, this is related to who can go to Europe next season..."

Tang En stood on the sidelines. So far, he was very satisfied with the team's performance and fully played at the level of training. Although there were some mistakes at the beginning, they quickly adjusted. It seemed that these young men were not as nervous as they played in the League Cup final for the first time, which was really due to his pretentious performance before the game.

The players performed well, but Tang En was not surprised. Because this is his team. It is a team built according to his ideas and wishes. What kind of personality is his? What kind of personality is this team? He Tang En has never been afraid of anyone. Nottingham Forest has never been afraid of anyone.

What is the "giant killer" in the Premier League? What is the young and promising young coach in England?

If we can reach the finals, we will have the strength to defeat you and win the championship trophy!

McLaren sat in the coach's seat and stared at the stadium with expressionless face. It seemed that he did not take the difficulties the team was facing now. But he was calculating the development situation of the game in his heart.

The coach of the Forest team obviously hopes to restrict our team's offense through intensive defense.    He does this... Should I say he is smart or stupid? If he shrinks his defense, he will definitely get the effect? ​​Or will he change his moves in the second half? Through intensive defense, he consumes the physical strength of our players in the first half, provokes my players through rough defensive actions, making them lose their calmness and become impatient... Then he starts to make substitution adjustments in the second half of the second half, and plays a quick counterattack...Where is the Ukrainian?

McLaren turned his head to look at the Forests bench, hoping to find Rebrov, who has been reborn since Donn took over the player.

But he was a little surprised to find Tony Don was looking at him. Seeing that he was looking at him, he even smiled at him.

Seeing the opponent's performance like this, McLaren had no choice but to avoid it. He turned his head back and continued to watch the game.

Looking around, the second half of the Forest team was almost all human... Juninho lost the ball again, and he protested to the referee angrily that Wood's tackle was a foul just now, but the referee still ignored him.

This Brazilian! How great is it to put the time you argue with the referee before turning around and grabbing it!

Juninho still looks in a very poor state, it’s a hell! He obviously performed well in training!

The Spaniard completely counted on a lot. He didn't even dare to be one-on-one on the sidelines... The injuries and energy in Italy sucked his confidence. He is no longer in Mendeta, Valencia.

Only Tangning...McLaren felt a little relieved when he saw the young player Tangning who was sprinting back and forth on the court and trying to break through. Juninho and Mendieta would definitely leave the team at the end of this season, and Tangen's rise even squeezed Centen on the bench. He is Middlesbrough's hope and future.

But... he was a little too excited, his movements were too fast and he made more mistakes. He was too young!

After looking at this, McLaren found that he really couldn't deal with Nottingham Forest's all-round three-dimensional defense - if he knew how Tang En called his tactics, he would definitely agree.

He covered his forehead and hit the wall now!
