Chapter 267 It seems like you want to win

When Tang En walked back to the field, he felt something was wrong, but what was wrong could not be said for a moment.

It was not until he saw Rijkaard walk out of the corridor and then looked up at the sky that he realized.

He also looked up at the night sky.

The rain has stopped!

He widened his eyes and stretched out his palm, without a drop of rain hitting his cheeks and palms.

A wind blew over the court, and he could even see the dark clouds in the night sky rolling around and about to leave here.

The quagmire that bound Barcelona was gone, and the will of heaven changed.

"What a fuck... damn..." Tang En muttered, holding his head up.

The weather conditions that are most beneficial to you become beneficial to your opponent.

There is no heavy rain, with the drainage ability of the French Stadium, the stadium will soon be no longer as slippery as the first half. Then...

This is almost something I dare not continue to think about.

"Tony, what's wrong?" David Chris Lack, who walked up from behind, surpassed Donn and found that he was still standing there.

"Nothing...Let's go, David." Tang En didn't want people to know his inner worries.

"Dear viewers, welcome to the final of the UEFA Champions League in 2005-06! The two sides are Nottingham Forest from England and Barcelona from Spain.

It's the second half now, with both sides scored 1:0, Nottingham Forest temporarily leading.

After the game started, Rijkald replaced the defensive midfielder Ed Milson with "new white" Iniesta. The meaning of this substitution was very obvious, which was to continue to strengthen the offense and completely gain control of the midfield.

Rijkald believes that the Forest, which is one less person and still ahead, will continue to defend in the second half, so that it will be a waste to put a midfielder in the midfield. If the skilled Iniesta is replaced, it will continue to put pressure on the Forest's defense line.

Barcelona also besieged Notting Forest like in the first half. The Forest team hid in the penalty area to defend.

Perhaps for viewers who like Barcelona, ​​this kind of game is very good because they can see the performances of stars such as Ronaldinho and see Barcelona pressing against each other, they don’t even need to worry about Barcelona’s defense line - Forest team simply does not have the ability to attack Barcelona’s 30-meter area.

Barcelona had an overall advantage, and Nottingham Forest was beaten to the point where he could only resist but had no power to fight back. But Don En was not worried about this at all.

Although the Forest team is on the defensive, experts can see that their formation is very well maintained. The three lines are compact and have not been disbanded by Barcelona's attack.

As long as the Forest team maintains this, Barcelona will have no chance. Don’t look at their massive momentum, they are actually just thunder and raindrops.

Nottingham Forest has played this tactic for two seasons, and now it is even more handy in the Champions League final.

"It seems that Coach Tang En is determined to defend until the end of the game. This is the situation he is best at dealing with, although the second half has just begun..." The commentator's tone was filled with a hint of teasing.

Barcelona doesn't seem to have a better way to face the Forest team that has set up an iron barrel formation. Ronaldinho wants to break through the Forest team's third-level defense with his personal skills. It has almost become an impossible task.

Under such a intensive defense, Etoo had no room for him to sprint and speed up to get rid of it.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes... Barcelona is getting more and more impatient.

One more person than the opponent, but the score is behind. And I can't start the situation for a long time, and if I don't get impatient in the face of this situation, there will be a ghost.

The huge pressure is hanging over the Barcelona players. If they cannot win the game in the end, they will become a laughing stock in Europe. Because they are stronger than their opponents.

They had more people than the opponent, and they had the advantage of the whole game, but the Forest team won the game in a sneak attack.

Winning the championship is both a kind of honor and a recognition from others, and also a kind of pressure.

Done saw the Barcelona players starting to be impatient off the court, and the tense nerves on his face finally relaxed. This is a good sign.

As the game time passes, as long as the Forest continues to defend like this, Barcelona will be even more impatient. At that time, Etoo's powder barrel-like person may choose to do it himself.

Do it well! Tang En likes opponents who do it recklessly, and likes strikers who do it recklessly.

He is not afraid of opponents who play football with his body.

The Forest team successfully intercepted the ball and launched an offensive. Albertini made a long pass to find Viduca, the frontcourt lighthouse. Viduca won when competing for the header with Max. He put the football on Arteta who had been quickly inserted, and the Forest team turned from defense to offense.

Defense is not just defense, it is necessary to use counterattacks to continue harassing the opponent. Barcelona dare not defeat them with all their might. This is a cliché, even if Don En doesn't say it. The players of the Forest team know how to do it.

Arteta's stop was not very good, which made Puyol break back, and then Barcelona counterattacked. At this time, the Forest team was not dense in defense in the backcourt because of the right hand turn to attack, and there was a lot of space to be used.

Puyol did not hesitate and pushed a straight line directly, and the football rolled to the feet of Iniesta.

When the Forest players were all focusing on Etoo and Ronaldinho, Iniesta broke out and after receiving the football, he turned around and shook Albertini away.

Then he shoveled and snatched Piquet, and he cleverly pushed the ball away and jumped up to avoid it. At this time, only Pepe and goalkeeper Paul Gerald were in front of him...

"Barcelona's chance! Iniesta... Iniesta! He passed two!"

Pepe's position is very reasonable and he is also very confident in this one-on-one. Seeing Pepe retreating carefully to prevent his surprise, Iniesta did not choose to break through forcibly, but suddenly shot outside the penalty area!

The football rolled towards the goal against the turf, and Paul Gerald, who was highly focused, held the ball in his arms.

"Paul Gerard saved Iniesta and shot! This was originally a good opportunity in Barcelona, ​​but Iniesta's shot was too light!"

Pepe shouted from behind: "Don't give them such a chance again!"

But what's the use? The Forest team cannot shrink into the penalty area and not go out within forty-five minutes. They always have to attack. They always have to press forward.

Of course, Iniesta's breakthrough just now might have been terminated in Albertini's place - if George Wood was in that position, he would have committed a foul without hesitation.

"Tony, we need to fight back..." Seeing the thrilling scene on the field just now, Chris Lak reminded.

"Of course...if we have the strength." Tang En insisted on stabilizing the defense first.

"It's not safe to lead with one goal..."

"For Barcelona, ​​it's not easy to lead with one goal, David." After saying that, Donn got up from his seat and walked to the bench. "Freddy, go warm up."

Eastwood jumped out of his seat, threw off his coat and ran out.

After giving the explanation, Tang En returned to the seat in the coach's seat.

Chris Lack smiled: "Are you going to change someone?"

"No, just in case. I don't expect Viduca to score a goal in the front, nor does his role be a goal, he is a nail. Nailing it on Barcelona's defense line makes them dare not act rashly.

But if I want to make a change, he is the only one who can be replaced.”

Chris Lack nodded to show that he understood Donne's idea.

The Forests can hardly move the midfield and backcourt because the defensive system is well organized now. If the players are changed at will, it is very likely that Barcelona will catch it.

Then if you want to seek change, make the passive situation less passive, the only position that can move is the suture.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Anelka sitting on the bench. The French striker has been silent since he was replaced. He did not communicate with others during the intermission. He sat alone in the corner and was very gloomy.

Anelka is actually a good counterattack. If he didn't start, then he should be the first choice for Don En to consider at this time. It's a pity... Van der Sar's red card changed the fate of several people.

Freddy Eastwood was doing warm-up moves on the sidelines, staring at the stadium. He focused all his attention during the game.

When he played football for the West Ham Youth Team, his biggest ideal was to play in real professional games and become a real professional player. Later, in the game against Nottingham Forest Youth Team.

After being kicked and broken his leg, his only wish was to play again in the next six months, so he went to an amateur team.

Next, the future he had never thought of appeared one by one in his life...

Don Eun came to him and became a real professional player. He played in the League One with Sunderland and scored twice in that game. He scored the first two goals in his career. Half a year later.

The team not only successfully advanced to the Premier League, but also defeated Middlesbrough in the League Cup. As a main player, he won the first championship trophy in his career.

Now... he is warming up on the side of the French Stadium. Will this highly anticipated game be another first in his life?

The team is in trouble now, and Viduca only has one tactical role in the frontcourt - restraining the opponent's troops and not posing a real threat to Barcelona's goal.

What is the purpose of the head coach warming up? He will definitely be replaced by him, what will he do when he is replaced by him? If we still restrain the opponent's troops, Eastwood believes that the strong Viduka can do better.

Obviously, if he plays, the head coach must be dissatisfied with the current situation and has more requirements for such a score. He hopes to get himself up and score to truly threaten Barcelona's goal.

What should I do at that time?

Taking advantage of the warm-up, Eastwood was thinking about how to play and change the situation.

Although Iniesta's shot did not score, it brought confidence to Barcelona players, and then they launched a more fierce offensive against the Forest's goal.

Deco swung the ball away from the front of the penalty area, then volleyed his left foot, and Paul Gerrard pressed the ball to the ground in a little embarrassed manner. Then Viduca lost the ball in the midfield and tackled Van Bomel, and the referee showed a yellow card.

Tang En is also dissatisfied with this penalty. Since Van der Sar was sent off with a red card, every time the referee made Tang En scream and shout on the sidelines for a while.

This slow motion shows that Don En got angry makes sense because Viduka tackled the ball first...

Next, Iniesta made a straight pass from the middle, Ronaldinho was knocked down by Pepe when he broke through, and Barcelona won a free kick from the top of the penalty area.

His right-footed free kick hit the wall Arteta bounced back, and Arteta fell to the ground with his stomach covering his head. Ronaldinho did not mean to kick the ball out, but instead shot the ball. This time the football missed the goal.

Then, Ronaldinho used a beautiful fake move on the left side of the penalty area to deceive Zimbonda who was defending him. This move won him a huge cheer in the stands. After breaking through Zimbonda, he made a cross, and this time the goalkeeper Paul

Gerald made a key save again - he subconsciously raised his hand to hit the football, and missed the pre-determined trajectory, allowing Etoo in the middle to lose.

"Paul Gerald-Ah! The key fingertips!"

Barcelona's offensive is not over yet. Next, Van Bronkhorst was pushed out by Pepe from the cross from the wing, and Deco's long shot was being kept firmly by Paul Gerrard.

The rain over Paris stopped, but the wind and rain in front of the Nottingham Forest Gate became even heavier.

"It's impossible to be beaten like this." Tang En murmured to himself.

Chris Lack knew what Donn was going to do, so he ran directly to the area where the players warmed up and called Eastwood back. Now he couldn't afford to delay any time.
