Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 267 seems to win

    When Twain walked back to the playing field, he felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong was not right, and he couldn’t say it for a while.

    It wasn't until he saw Rijkaard coming out of the ramp and then looking up at the sky before he reacted.

    He also looked up at the night sky.

    The rain stopped!

    He widened his eyes and reached out his palm. There was no drop of rain on his cheeks and palms.

    There was a wind blowing over the stadium, and he could even see the dark clouds in the night sky rolling over and about to leave.

    The mud that bound Barcelona was gone, and the mood changed.

    "What a damn…Damn it!Twain, raising his head, muttered.

    The weather conditions that are most conducive to oneself have become beneficial to the opponent.

    Without heavy rain, with the drainage capacity of Stade de France, the Stadium will soon not be as slippery as the first half. By the time……

    This is almost something that I dare not think about.

    "Toni, what's wrong?"David Chrislake, who came up from behind, surpassed Twain and found that he was still standing.

    Nothing……Let's go, David. Twain didn't want people to know his inner concerns.

    “Very spectators, welcome to watch 05-06season Europe Champion Cup finals! The warring parties are Nottingham Forest FC from England and Barcelona from Spain.

    Now is the second half of the game, the two sides scored 1:0, Nottingham Forest FC is temporarily leading. ”

    After the start of the game, Rijkaard replaced the defensive midfielder Edmílson with "Little White" Iniesta. The substitution is obvious. It is to continue to strengthen the offense and completely control the midfield.

    Rijkaard believes that one of the leading Forest teams will continue to defend in the second half, so that one will waste a midfielder in the midfield, and the excellent Iniesta will continue to put pressure on the Forest's defense. .

    Barcelona also besieged the Notting Forest as in the first half. The Forest team is deflated in the penalty area to defend.

    Perhaps for the audience who likes Barcelona, ​​the game is very good, because they can see the performance of Football Star such as Ronaldinho, and see Barcelona pressing against each other, they don't even need to worry about Barça's defense – Forest The team simply did not have the ability to break into the 30-meter area of ​​Barcelona.

    Barcelona's overall dominance, and Nottingham Forest FC was beaten with only the power of parry and the situation of many of the Forest team supporters sweated. Twain is not worried about this at all.

    Although the Forest team is on the defensive, but the experts can see that their formation is very good. The three lines are compact and have not been attacked by Barcelona.

    As long as the Forest team stays the same, Barcelona has no chance, don't watch them so big, it's actually just a thunder and a little rain.

    Nottingham Forest FC played two seasons with this Tactics and is now more handy in the Champion Cup finals.

    "It seems that Twain coach is the core to keep the game over, which is what he is best at, even though the second half has just begun…"The narrator's tone was a little ridiculous.

    Barcelona seems to have no better way to face the Forest team. Ronaldinho wants to break through the Forest's three-layer defense with personal skills. It has almost become an impossible task.

    Eto'o With such intensive defense, there is no room for him to sprint and get rid of it.

    Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes…Barcelona is getting more and more eager.

    More than one opponent, but the score is behind. And it is too late to open the situation. In the face of this situation, there is no ghost.

    The huge pressure is on the top of the Barcelona players, and if they can't win the game in the end, it will become the laughing stock of all Europe. Because they are stronger than their opponents.

    They had more people than the other side, and they took advantage of the game, but let the Forest team sneak attack to win the game.

    Winning the championship is both a glory, a recognition of others, and a pressure.

    Twain saw the players in Barcelona start to be impatient, and his face was finally relaxed. This is a good sign.

    As the game time goes by, as long as the Forest team continues to do so. Then Barcelona will be even more impatient, when the Eto'o gunpowder-like person will choose to do it.

    Good job! Twain likes a very hard-working opponent and likes the Striker.

    He is not afraid of opponents who play by the body.

    The Forest team broke the ball and launched an offensive. Albertini's long pass to find Viduka, the frontcourt lighthouse, Viduka won the first goal with Marks. He placed the football for Arteta, which had been quickly plugged in, and the Forest team turned from the defender.

    Defence is not a defensive defensive, you must use counter.attack to continue to harass your opponent. Let Barcelona not dare to press it all out. This is already a cliché, even if Twain doesn't say it. The Forest team's players also know how to do it.

    Arteta's stoppage was not very good, and Puyol reversed, and then Barcelona counterattacked. At this time, when the Forest team turned to the right hand, the backcourt defense was not dense, and there was a lot of space to be used.

    Puyol didn't hesitate, pushed a straight line and the football rolled to the foot of Iniesta.

    When the Forest team players focused on Eto'o and Ronaldinho, Iniesta ran out. After receiving the football, he turned around and opened Albertini.

    Then face the Pique shovel, astutely kick the football and jump to escape. At this time, only Pepe and Goalkeeper Paul Gerrard were in front of him…

    "The opportunity for Barcelona! Iniesta ……Iniesta! He has passed two! ”

    Pepe's position is very reasonable, and I am very confident about this one-on-one. Iniesta saw Pepe stepping back carefully, guarding against his raids, so he didn't choose to force a breakthrough, but suddenly shot outside the penalty area!

    The football stalked the turf to the goal, and Paul Gerrard, who had a high concentration of attention, took the ball in his arms.

    "Paul Gerrard slammed into Iniesta to shoot! This was originally a good opportunity for Barcelona, ​​but Iniesta's shot was too light! ”

    Pepe yelled behind: "Don't give them this opportunity!"

    But what is the use? The Forest team couldn't get out of the penalty area in forty-five minutes and didn't go out. They had to attack. Always press it up.

    Of course, this breakthrough by Iniesta may have been terminated in Albertini's place – if George Wood is in that position, he will not hesitate to foul.

    "Toni, we need counter.attack…"Seeing the thrilling scene on the field, Chrislake reminded.

    "Of course I do."If we have the strength. "Twain still insists on solid defense first."

    "A ball can lead without insurance…"

    "For Barcelona, ​​it's not easy to lead a goal, David. "End." Twain got up from his seat and walked to the bench. "Freddy, go warm up. ”

    Eastwood jumped up from his seat and ran off his coat.

    After the confession, Twain returned to the seat of the coach.

    Chrislake smiled: "Ready to change?"

    "No, just in case. I don't expect Viduka to score in front, his role is not a goal, he is a nail. Pinned to Barcelona's back line, they are afraid to act rashly.

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

    Chrislake nodded to understand the idea of ​​Twain.

    The Forest team's midfield is almost impossible to move, because the defensive system is still well organized, and the player is replaced. It is very likely that there is a vulnerability that Barcelona has caught.

    Then if you want to seek change, let the passive situation be less passive, the only position that can be moved is the stitching.

    Thinking of it, he turned to look at Anelka sitting on the bench. France Striker has been silent since being replaced. During the break, there was no communication with others. Sitting alone in the corner, the whole person was very gloomy.

    Anelka is actually a good player in counter.attack. If he is not starting to play, then this time he should be the first candidate for Twain. "Unfortunately.Van Der Sar's red card changed the fate of several people.

    Freddy Eastwood was warming up on the sidelines, staring at the Stadium. All his attention was placed in the game.

    When he played in the West Ham Youth Youth Team, the biggest ideal was to play a real professional game and become a true professional player. Later in the game with the Nottingham Forest FC Youth Youth Team.

    After being kicked off the leg, after half a year, his only wish was to be able to kick the ball again, so he went to the amateur team.

    Next, the future he never thought of appeared one after another in his life…

    It was brought to the door by Twain and became a real professional player. In the league with Sunderland AFC, he played a real professional game and scored twice in that game. Into the first two goals in his career. After half a year.

    The team not only successfully upgraded to the English Premier League, but also beat Middlesbrough FC in the EFL League Cup. As the main player, he won the first Champion trophy in his career.

    TodayHe warmed up on the side of Stade de France. Will this highly anticipated game be the first time in his life?

    Now that the team is in trouble, Viduka has only one Tactics in the frontcourt – keeping the opponent's strength and not posing a real threat to Barcelona's goal.

    What does the Manager want to warm up for? Will definitely change him to play and change what he is doing? If you still hold the other side, Eastwood believes that Viduka can do better.

    Obviously, if you play on the game, you must be dissatisfied with the situation of the current situation. There are more requirements for such scores. He wants to get himself to go to the goal and really threaten Barcelona's goal.

    What do you do at that time?

    Taking advantage of the warm-up effort, Eastwood is thinking about how to change the situation.

    Iniesta's shot didn't score, but it gave confidence to Barcelona's players, and then they launched a more aggressive offensive against the Forest team's goal.

    Deco swayed the football in front of the penalty area and then volleyed his left foot. Paul Gerrard pushed the football to the ground with a wolverine. Then Viduka smashed Van Bommel after losing the ball in the midfield and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

    Twain is also dissatisfied with this penalty. Since Van Der Sar was sent off, the main referee will not be able to make a penalty for the Forest team every time, which will make Twain yell at the sidelines for a while.

    This time the slow motion shows that Twain is irritating because Viduka shoveled the ball first…

    Next, Iniesta made a direct pass, Ronaldinho was knocked down by Pepe when it broke, and Barcelona won a free kick at the top of the restricted area.

    His right foot free kick hit the Arteta on the man's wall and Arteta slammed his stomach to the floor. Ronaldinho didn't mean to kick the football out, but volleyed the ball. This time the football missed the goal.

    Then, Ronaldinho tricked his Chimbonda with a beautiful fake action on the left side of the penalty area. This action earned him a huge cheer in the stands. After breaking through Chimbonda, he made a cross pass, this time Goalkeeper Paul

    Gerrard made another key save – he subconsciously raised his hand to hit the football, missed the scheduled trajectory, and made Eto'o in the middle of the road empty.

    "Paul Gerrard – ah! The key fingertip! ”

    Barcelona's offensive is not over yet. Van Bronckhorst was then pushed out by Pepe on the sideline and Deco's long shot was being kept secure by Paul Gerrard.

    The rain over Paris stopped, and the wind and rain in front of Nottingham Forest FC was even bigger.

    "So you can't beat it." Twain muttered to himself.

    Chrislake knew what Twain was going to do. He ran straight to the player's warm-up area and called back Eastwood. It’s a little time now and I can’t afford it.

    Twain turned to see Eastwood standing by his side. Some still did not respond.

    Until the Gypsies volunteered to ask him: "Hey, is it my turn to play?"

    "Ahhhh……Hmm, yeah right. Freddy, you are going to replace Viduka. Single arrow…But your mission is not the same as Viduka, I want you to go up and score as much as possible.

    Twain stretched out his index finger. "One, and then one, Barcelona will collapse." ”

    Eastwood smiled and nodded, exactly the same as he had expected.

    "I will, the head. ”

    "Go on the field!"Twain took a slap in his back and pushed him out.

    “Nottingham Forest FC made adjustments. Twain coach replaced Fred Viduka with Freddy Eastwood! This is an offensive change! It seems that Toni

    Twain is not willing to lead the ball, he also wants to pursue more goals and bigger scores! It’s a bold move, and instead of taking the lead in making an offensive change in the case of repeated defenses.”

    “The coach’s words and deeds in England that are crazy and not branded have become the focus of attention. In the Champion Cup finals, he once again made us realize this. ”

    Viduka gasped and Eastwood clap, and Twain shook hands with him. Eastwood ran to play and conveyed the specifics of the adjustment to the midfielder. From his gestures, let the midfielder pass the low ball and the straight ball as much as possible.

    The advantage of Eastwood is that the technology is more comprehensive and flexible. The quality is average. The speed is not slow. The shooting skills are superb and the consciousness is excellent. There is also a long-range shot with a very threatening foot. Let him do a single arrow goal is also considered to be the best.

    Just two minutes before playing, Eastwood grabbed a chance in the frontcourt!

    This is really "grabbing" to the ground.

    The Forest team opened wide and Marks returned the football to Oleguer in front of his restricted area. Oleguer catches the ball for Marks, but his stop is a bit big.

    The astute Eastwood ran to Oleguer when he saw Marks jump to get the header. Because Oleguer's position is closest to Marks, it is also the most convenient direction for the header.

    On the other side, of course, there is Puyol, but Arteta is not far from that place. Marks is back to Puyol. It is too dangerous to squat after the header.

    Eastwood's judgment was completely correct, Oleguer received the ball, and because he was not aware of the situation behind him, he stopped the ball and held it a little too far.

    When Marks saw Eastwood killing the land, he wanted to loudly remind the teammate that it was too late. Oleguer only felt that his body had been put on one hand, and then he saw a yellow figure running around!

    The ball was broken!

    "Nottingham Forest FC steals the ball from the front! Justwood, who just played, grabbed Oleguer's ball…His stoppage is too stupid! ”

    "Eastwood! Opportunity for Nottingham Forest FC -"

    The buzz from Barcelona fans sounded in the stands, and the sounds were entangled with the cheers of Nottingham Forest FC fans.

    Marks wants to stretch his foot, but let Eastwood put the ball through and he has entered the penalty area! Puyol quickly came from behind and forced to Eastwood. Marks was not willing to be shaken like this, turned and chased back.

    Goalkeeper Valdés quickly approached the near corner and blocked Eastwood's shooting angle.

    There was a tiger in front of the wolf, and Eastwood was surprisingly calm. He didn't give the Barcelona player the chance to complete the encirclement. He suddenly shot from a small angle –

    Shooting

    Barcelona Goalkeeper Valdés reacted very quickly, and he jumped up and shot the beam at Eastwood's close-footed shot!

    "Valdés – he saved the team!"

    When he saw Eastwood's shot being thrown out by Valdés, Twain almost slammed his head into the coach seat.

    This is an excellent opportunity. No one thought that the opportunity would come so easily…But it didn't catch, it's a pity!

    What a pity. Nottingham Forest FC didn't expand the score, Barcelona escaped.

    But this gave them a wake-up call – when they tried to equalize the score, Nottingham Forest FC did not give up the chase of the goal, they still look at it! Tony Twain also wants to score more goals and seal the victory! ”
