Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 161 Power (on)

    The loss of the FA Cup did not affect Twain's mood, nor did it affect the overall atmosphere of the team. Everyone knew that the season they needed to work hard.

    Time went into February, and the Forest team was eliminated in the FA Cup, but their Walk On didn't stop there.  Manchester United FC helped the Forest team with a heavy burden and the Forest team was lightly loaded.

    On February 1, 2005, Nottingham Forest FC played against Crystal Palace FC at home. After losing the FA Cup, Twain was lucky. The Forest team could use this weak team to adjust the state and psychology.  In the screams of nearly 30,000 fans at City Ground, Nottingham Forest FC 2:0 easily won the guest team Crystal Palace FC.

    Twenty-five rounds of league, with a stack of 40, are still ranked sixth under Liverpool FC.

    Nottingham Forest FC wants to raise his rankings, and Liverpool FC, which is on their head, is the first enemy.  At present, the two teams have the same 40, and as long as Liverpool FC makes a small mistake, the Forest team may replace it.

    It's almost impossible for Liverpool FC to make mistakes. The season they have to put more energy into the Champion Cup. The team has limited energy and specializes in the Champion Cup.  That was the opportunity for the Forest team.

    What Twain has to do now is to win all the games that can win, and then quietly crouch behind Liverpool FC, waiting for it to be out of power, and then rushing over.

    Even if Liverpool FC hasn't made a mistake, it doesn't matter. Nottingham Forest FC has a direct battle with Liverpool FC. This time at home, Twain will not allow the team to fail again.

    Of course, before the battle with Liverpool FC, the Forest team can't drop the team first. Twain doesn't want to see the team work hard for more than half of the season.  In the end, I couldn’t keep up with the big troops, and I was left behind.

    During the training, Twain strengthened the team's defensive practice, and as soon as possible, Van Der Sar and the defense line developed enough tacit understanding – FA Cup lost to Manchester United FC, Goalkeeper Van Der Sar and Defender line. one of the reasons.

    In addition, after the Arteta player joined the team and has been positioned, it is also something that Twain needs to worry about.

    When the Forest team bought Arteta, there were concerns that Twain coaches would not be able to arrange the midfield of the Forest team.  Because Wood and Albertini's cooperation in the first half of the season proved to be very successful.  There is no reason for the Manager to break up the pair because of a newly joined player.

    But in Twain's eyes, this is not a problem at all.

    English Premier League The rhythm of the league is the fastest of the top four leagues in Europe (except France Ligue 1 which was one of the previous Five Major Leagues). The attack and defense conversion speed is fast, the attack speed is fast, the passing speed is fast, and the pace is fast…All in all, everything is fast.  The rhythm of this game is very demanding on the player's physical ability. Albertini is already a 33-year-old veteran.  His physical ability can't support him to start in the entire season and play 90 minutes of each game.  He must have a substitute player, Arteta is the most suitable candidate.

    In the memory of Twain, in Everton FC, the core status of Arteta is different. Now Arteta belongs to the kind of player who does not prove himself in Real Sociedad, so he is not qualified to play big names.  He is neither the midfielder of the Forest team nor the big-name Football Star of the Forest team. It can be seen from the price of his 3 million Euros, which is only about 1.5 million pounds.  This is very pitiful.

    Arteta entered the Nottingham Forest FC in a very low profile.  On the first day of his coming to this team, Twain told RCD Espanyol very frankly that he can't be the main force of the Forest team, but he will be the first substitute for Albertini.  Because he is the player with the most organized offensive ability in the midfield except Albertini, as long as he performs well, he has the opportunity to change from the bench player to the main player.  Of course, if he doesn't mind playing the midfielder.  He will have more opportunities to play.

    Arteta accepted Twain's opinion and he considered trying to hit multiple locations on the venue – he also wanted to prove that his strength was not as bad as Real Sociedad, in order to make a good impression on the new coach, do the money.

    Twain hasn't bought the big-name Football Star until now. It's also for this reason: If you are so young, can you manage the well-known players? If the team has too many big Football Stars and does not obey his Manager, then the team will have no fighting power.  Twain would rather find some ordinary players who are not well-known but not weak, and never look for the Football Star that has long been famous.  The good thing to say is that "no one can override the team as a whole."  The arrogance is that "no one can override his Toni Twain."

    How is this similar to Clough, who has passed away…

    In terms of adapting to the England football style.  There is no problem with Arteta, and Albertini has just been in the Forest team for a while.  Arteta doesn't have to worry about it at all, because he used to play in Scotland and is completely accustomed to the football style of the British Isles.  Adaptation is not equal to assimilation. He can adapt to England football, while retaining his delicate skills and outstanding imagination. The advantages of Spain player are not less.  This kind of player is what all Managers dream of, he can bring fresh things to the team, will make the team unique in the entire league.

    Twain is very optimistic about Arteta and hopes to develop him into the core of the Forest team's midfield organization.  By then, George Wood will protect Arteta like Albertini and Rebrov.

    Therefore, in training, Twain often arranges Wood and Arteta in a group, and from this time on, they gradually cultivate their understanding.

    On February 5th, in the 26th round of the league, Nottingham Forest FC continued their trip game venue trip, this time against Aston Villa FC.

    At the beginning of the season English Premier League, the Forest team once tied the Aston Villa FC at the home with an unexpected mistake ball, which was the first point in the Forest Super League. From then on, the Forest team continued in the Premier League. Unbeaten in ten rounds!

    Even though people are still those people, the current Forest team and the time have been completely different teams.

    After half a season of running-in and experience, the Forest team is now more mature, more powerful, and always in the top six, not just by luck.

    Despite being at the away game venue, the Forest team beat Villa.

    Outstanding in this tough off game venue, the person who helped the team win the final victory was Freddy Eastwood.

    The Gypsies have not appeared in the headlines of the newspaper sports edition for some time. Recently, because of the need of the Club, they all publicized his teammate and "the enemy" George Wood. I don't know what it would be like to see those reports.  Fortunately, these did not affect the play of Eastwood.  Maybe he is not the most dazzling Football Star in the Forest team. In addition to scoring on the court, his low-key appearance seems to disappear. Occasionally he will return to London to visit his father, but more often he is there. Take care of your wife and wife in the caravan.

    Eastwood hasn't found an agent until now. Someone once came to the door to hope to be his agent, and he refused.  So in addition to playing football, he has no commercial activities.  The chance of exposure to the newspaper is naturally greatly reduced.

    But this time, he made a headline in the newspaper, and not just the local media of Nottingham, he was the popular figure of London Fleet Street this week.

    In Villa Park, there may be a lot of glowing villa_park, striker Angel, who scored the first goal for Aston Villa FC, scored the second goal for fans to plunge into the frenzied Ecuadorian veteran della Crewe Alexandra FC Ulises_de_la_cruz, despite losing two goals but still cool Netherlands goalkeeper Van Der Sar, rebuilding the back of the back no longer gives the other side any chance of the veteran Hierro, for teammate create opportunities to attract each other's defensive attention Viduka, the replacement Albertini for the first time on behalf of the Forest team in the English Premier League league Arteta …But there is only one of the most radiant people, the low-key Gypsy Freddy Eastwood.

    Although the game just started twenty minutes, the home team scored two goals with the fast break.  The fans at Villa Park must have thought that the Forest team had been beaten, and they could start celebrating the victory seventy minutes in advance.  It was a stupid thing that Eastwood stood up and told Villa fans to celebrate so early.

    His strong long-range shot outside the penalty area hit a high bounce on the legs of the Villa player, from a strong volley to a remote lob shot, just past the head of the Villa Goalkeeper and was deceived by the first shot. On the ground, Thomas Sørensen (thomas_sorensen) looked up at the football and flew over the sky, then fell into the empty door…

    After the goal of the Eastwood performance more and more active, there are viduka at the front to help him attract vitality, he has more freedom, Eastwood is not the kind of top in front of the other side of the center, he is two striker, more like to move freely behind teammate, Although Vera's manager, David o ' Leary, david_oleary the frontier of the box, it was a headache for the erratic striker.

    He sometimes appears in the middle of the road, hiding behind Viduka looking for a direct shot.  When he was defensive counter.attack, he was at the top and took the ball.  When you put the defensive focus on the middle, he pulled the sidewalk to pass…

    At the end of the first half, Eastwood seized the fleeting opportunity in the penalty area and suddenly smashed in the middle of two tall central defenders, pushing Ashley Young's pass into the goal.  2 / 2 The Forest team equalized the score!
