Chapter 37: Reciprocity

When both teams that were particularly conservative in the Premier League encountered everything, they did not choose to be conservative, but instead launched an unexpected attack.

The open tactics and style of play surprised all the audience who watched this game, but also exclaimed.

They found that Chelsea and Nottingham Forest had a wonderful attack. In fact, there were no shortage of attacking experts on both sides, but it was just a tactical reason, which left no deep impression on everyone.

What kind of pleasure is it when the current striker does not have to frequently shuttle back and forth between the two penalty areas?

"Drogba! Long shot! Van der Sar also made a beautiful save... When the two teams were fighting against each other, the two goalkeepers were destined to be the busiest people."

"Football passes in front of Chelsea's penalty area, Van der Fate passes the side, Gareth Bale comes up, he receives the ball. Facing Chelsea's right back Bolaruz... This is a new opponent!"

Bale is not afraid of Chelsea at all, although they sound very famous. When playing against Chelsea, his psychological advantage is greater than anyone else. Because his fame battle is the league with Chelsea.

No matter who he was in front of him, whether it was Paul Ferreira, Carvalho, or the newcomer Bolaruze, he had only one idea - to break through and then pass it.

Bolaruz became famous for successfully defending Ronaldinho in the game against Barcelona. He didn't take it seriously when facing Bale. Can a child be as good as Ronaldinho?

If Bale wants to break through, he will put himself on the route of Bale's breakthrough. As long as he accelerates, he will surely hit him head-on.

"Bel!" Ribery shouted from the side. He saw Bolaruze's thoughts and could not let Bale rush over. "Pass the ball to me!"

But Bell didn't seem to hear it. The little monkey who seemed timid and afraid of things on the court seemed to be a veteran who had experienced many battles when he arrived on the court.

Bale pulled the ball outward. It was almost about to stick to the sideline. Bolaruz was so happy when he saw his move. He brought the ball to such a dead place. I see how you broke through!

The Dutch full-back stuck his body in the inside and then stretched out his foot to intercept the ball. He calculated that Bale would never buckle the football into the inside because he stuck his position, so he dunked it over and stepped across the gear. The man-to-ball separated.

Bale must know this, so Bolaruz calculated that Bale would go from the outside.

Now that the football is so close to the sideline, it is too easy for him to dial the ball out if he goes outside...

Bolaruz does not have to cut the ball himself. As long as he forces the football to be touched by Bale himself, it will be a successful defense.

He just wanted Bell to push the ball out by himself...

Bell indeed trolled the ball. He trolled the ball to the left with his right foot, but a second later, his left foot, which he stepped on, knocked the ball out in a straight line, and the ball rolled over the sideline next to Bolaruze!

Bolaruz raised his hand to signal to the referee that Bale's ball was out of bounds, but he did not hear the referee's whistle. Instead, he saw Bale skimming through his defense zone and break through!

"Beautiful breakthrough. Bolaruz never expected it!"

After breaking through, Bale looked up at the penalty area and did not choose to pass it blindly to the goal - most young players would do this, which was irresponsible and brainless.

Bale didn't. He was very clever in passing the ball to Ribery just now when he raised his hand to ask for the ball.

"Shot!" Bale shouted when passing the ball. The last league game. It was at this position that Bale assisted Ribery to score the goal. He obviously wanted to do it again.

But Chelsea did not let him do it. It was already very good that Ribery was around him for enough Chelsea players to stop the ball.

Ribery didn't want to shoot either. He had observed the situation around him before receiving the ball. If he forced his foot, he didn't know where the football would be kicked. He wouldn't waste an offensive opportunity so stupidly!

Huh?

He suddenly saw a familiar back while surrounded by the crowd.

How could he be there?

He didn't bother to think about it, and there was no time for Ribery to think about it. He pushed the football that had just rolled over with his foot arch, and the football penetrated between Essin's legs.

"Freddy Eastwood!!"

That's right, the man who appeared in the blank area of ​​Chelsea's defense line was the low-key shooter Eastwood who had been hiding behind Van Nistruey!

When Bale broke through, he was still outside the penalty area. Van Nistruei attracted the attention of Terry and Carvalho in the penalty area. Regarding Eastwood's defense, Mourinho suggested that the players focus on preventing him from being active in the arc top area of ​​the penalty area.

The Gypsy scored a lot of goals this season. Most of them scored from a long shot at this position, and his long shots were very good.

Everyone paid attention to his long shot. On the contrary, no one thought that this person was actually a shadow striker.

What is a shadow forward? Hidden behind the center, waiting for an opportunity to attack, and a fatal character!

Eastwood keenly found a loophole in Chelsea's defense that he could exploit. He didn't know if Ribery would pass the ball to him, because he didn't tell Ribery that he would show up there.

He just firmly inserted it, and then believed that Scarface would see his own.

Sure enough, when he turned around, he happened to see the football rolling between Essin's legs...

Beautiful work, scar face!

Eastwood praised in his heart, and at the same time he let the football sideways. Without waiting for Terry and Carvalho to pounce, he did not give Cech the opportunity to adjust his center of gravity and shot directly!

Cech did not expect that the gypsy shot so decisively, without any delay, and without adjusting, he kicked his feet directly. Before he could move over the blocking angle, he could only try his best to save the ball, hoping to block the football outside the goal.

The Czech goalkeeper used all his strength but failed to stop the ball from flying into the goal from his side.

"gooooal! Beautiful cooperation! This is Eastwood's sixth goal this season! Rooney of Gypsy is back!"

"I thought about it again when I saw such a beautiful goal... Why is he not a member of England..."

Eastwood was selected for the national team before he was injured, but it was not the England national team, but the Wales national team. At that time, he had not yet become famous, so the England national team naturally looked down on such a small role.

Because Eastwood was born in England, he has the right to play football for England, but his grandfather was Welsh, so he can also play football for the Welsh national team.

When it was necessary to choose which team to be loyal to in the future, Eastwood chose him to be loyal to his grandfather, Wales.

At that time, England did not think that this choice would have any impact on them. There were so many forwards in England, Rooney, Irving, Crouch, Walcott... there was no shortage of a gypsy.

However, more and more voices have regretted Eastwood's original choice.

What a wonderful thing it would be to have such a forward who scored a goal in England!

Let’s not talk about which national team Eastwood plays for, Nottingham Forest fans must be the happiest now.

"Nottingham Forest leads Chelsea at their home court... To be honest, I am not surprised by this situation at all. Tony Donn's team has great experience in playing Chelsea..." The commentator said this, offending all Chelsea fans.

"What does it mean to be no surprise? Just lead one ball. What's there?!" Chelsea fans shouted, waving their fists to the TV screen. "This damn Motterson, everyone knows that he is a Nottingham Forest fan!"

On the side of the court, after Forests led Chelsea, Don En's celebrations are always the wildest and most eye-catching. Everyone still remembers last season. At this court, after Bale scored the winning goal, Don En's celebrations were celebrated.

This time, everyone saw Tang En waving his fists frantically beside the coach's seat, as if he was boxing.

In front of Mourinho, he was not reserved at all. He was deliberately annoying Mourinho.

Mourinho was attracted by his wild performance. But he moved away soon.

"This clown..." he cursed in a low voice.

If you want to attack Tang En's arrogance, the best way is not to rush up and point at him and call him an idiot, nor to let your men go to the other side's coach seat to provoke. These will only make Tang En more proud.

Mourinho knows what kind of virtue he is like.

If you want to make Tang En speechless, the best way is to score a goal for the Forest team.

Now is a good opportunity to understand Don Eun's true intentions in this game.

Does Nottingham Forest plan to shrink the defense after scoring a goal? Is it no different from the past? Or is it going to attack the end and fight against Chelsea for 90 minutes?

Mourinho was not angry and impatient about the team's concealment of the goal, and he didn't even get up from his seat.

Five minutes passed, and the Forest team did not mean to stop. Under the guidance of Don En's tactical idea of ​​"attack, attack, in addition to attack, but also attack", the Forest team continued to put pressure on Chelsea's defense line.

The players also want to have a refreshing game against their old opponents at their home court.

Always defending and counterattacking, it feels not good to be suppressed by the opponent.

"Nottingham Forest didn't take back the defense..." Clark also saw it.

"That's good." Mourinho grinned. "Nothing changes, follow our pace."

Unlike Nottingham Forest's fierce attack, Chelsea is more stable away from home. They seem to not care about a conceding goal, and conceding the goal did not change their rhythm. The players on the court performed as usual.

Chelsea's offense is not too slow. They are patiently looking for opportunities.

Mourinho has long told his players that he should be prepared to concede the ball in the game against Forest. It is very difficult to prepare for the game. This is not a whim. It is the experience after more than two years of repeated battles with Forest.

So it is normal for Chelsea players to perform like this now.

Mourinho firmly believes that the more powerful the Nottingham Forest attack, the more loopholes they will have in their defense.

At that time, just catch it once... and you can defeat the Forest Team!

As the game time passed, both sides really contributed a wonderful offensive battle to the audience. The offensive and defensive rhythm changed very quickly. Thirty seconds ago, football was still in front of Chelsea's goal, causing the Chelsea defenders to be in a hurry.

Thirty seconds later, the football flew to the Nottingham Forest again, forcing Van der Sar to make a miserable save.

This will certainly make the audience happy.

However, a fast transfer pace may not be a good thing for the team, because it means that there are many proactive mistakes.

The game is so good that the players must be in an excited state. In this case, they are full of energy, calm but not enough. Albertini and other veterans are the few who can still stay awake, and the others really only have "attack" in their minds.

The Forests' active mistakes are gradually increasing. Mourinho looked at the mini laptop held by his assistant, which contained the latest game statistics.

"There have been fourteen proactive mistakes in the thirty-seven minutes of the game..."

He believes his players will not fail to notice this.

After Zimbonda intercepted Lampard's pass, he planned to pass it to Ashley Yang in front, but he was reluctant to let Robben, who was extremely fast, rush up from behind Ashley Yang and confiscate the pass.

"Zimbonda's passing power is too light!" narrator Motterson shouted.

Robben's speed is indeed fast. Even Ashley and Yang, after reacting, could only follow the Dutch "Peter"'s butt and could not surpass the intercepting ball.
