Chapter 274 Volume [-] Red Forest A Good Show About Genius
The penalty kick in the No.301 minute of the first half hit the Forest team very hard. In the following time, the Nottingham Forest players seemed a little listless.In the away game, the opponent led by two goals in 10 minutes, and the opponent was still Manchester United. How should this game be played?
Some people thought of the league game they lost to Liverpool. They were also beaten 0:2 in the first half, and then the team collapsed...

It's the same today, only George Wood is still running, but he seems too insignificant in front of Manchester United's powerful midfielder.

When the half-time whistle blew, the stands at Old Trafford erupted into the cheers of the Red Devils fans, who seemed to have seen a victory within reach.

Tang En did not return to the locker room in a hurry, but stood on the sidelines, watching his men enter the corridor.All the Forest players on the field lowered their heads when they passed by the head coach—they all felt that today's 45-minute game was really bad...

Ferguson on the opposite side also did not rush back to the dressing room, but stood on the sidelines with a smile on his face. When a Manchester United player passed by him, he would pat the opponent on the shoulder.

Of the two head coaches, one has an expressionless face and the other has a happy face. The contrast is as strong as the score on an electronic scoreboard.

When there were only warm-up substitute players left on the field, Tang En and Ferguson walked into the player tunnel one after the other.

Pushing open the door, Tang En almost thought that he had walked into an empty room by mistake. There was no sound, as if there was no one there.

Looking at the dejected players, Tang En's speech papers that he had prepared all disappeared without a trace. At this time, it was necessary to change his strategy.

He coughed to remind everyone in the room of his existence.This attracted the attention of many people for him.

The goal was achieved. Tang En raised his wrist to look at his watch, pretending to be surprised and said: "Is there something wrong with my watch? The game is over? David, how about the next watch?"

Chris Rack knew what Tang En was going to do, he shook his head: "No need, Tony. It's just the end of the first half."

"The first half is over? Are you sure?" Tang En asked with his eyes wide open.

"I'm sure." Chris Rack nodded.

"Hmm..." Hearing this answer, Tang En looked at the players, "It seems that my watch is normal, and my memory is fine. If that's the case..."

He paused, "Since we have 45 minutes left, what are you guys doing, gentlemen? You're all crying, making me think I've walked into the wrong room and misremembered the time. Is the game over? No !Then why do you look like this? Or..." He waved his finger to the door of the locker room and raised the volume, "Do you think we won't have any improvement and opportunities in the second half, and this game is over like this? ?!answer me!"

Some of the players responded sporadically, "No...boss..."

"On my team, there is no room for cowards who give up hope and think they are lost before the game is over! If anyone has no confidence in themselves and their partners, they can put their hands up now , there is not much time until the winter transfer period!"

No one raised their hands.

"What? No one raised their hands? Then when you were silent just now, were you all sleeping? Well, let's put this question aside for a while..." Tang En waved his hand and really threw it away. . "15 minutes after half-time, I don't want to waste it talking nonsense. Yes, we are in a bad situation, two goals away from the game, and it looks like it will be difficult to recover. But these are not us There's no reason to give up on this game, and there's really no reason to give up hope of winning."

Hearing the head coach's tone slow down, the players who had been scolded by Tang En just now kept their heads down and dared not breathe, and then raised their heads one after another.

"Frank." Tang En turned his body to a corner of the locker room, looked at Ribery and said, "You are a full-back or even a winger, remember you are only assisting Barnes in defense. I will not criticize you for giving the opponent a flop The opportunity to cheat a penalty kick, but you have to know that you are an offensive player, and defense is not your first task. You see that you have entangled with Ronaldo several times near our penalty area. What if we steal the ball successfully and need to fight back? manage?"

Twain's tone was not serious, and what he said was well-founded. Franck Ribery nodded frequently. He was full of enthusiasm on the field, only thinking about how to win the duel with Ronaldo, completely forgetting the team's overall tactical needs.Looking back now, what I did was really ill-considered.

"We all know that besides creating opportunities for our own goals, the side attack also has an important role to suppress the opponent's side attack. So, Frank, if you retreat too much, it is tantamount to allowing the opponent to suppress us on the left. attack..."

When Tang En said this, Ribery completely understood.He was completely led by Ronaldo.

"I get it, boss. I'm not going to make them that comfortable in the second half!" he said with clenched fists.

Tang En nodded, then turned to Wood: "Then...George. Do you remember your mission before the game?"

Wood nodded.

"But you have too little support for the wing defense. If you were more active, the pressure on Ribéry would not be so great."

Wood opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he immediately gave up the idea and said nothing.Albertini, who was next to him, spoke for him: "Boss, I'm not... In fact, Kean put too much pressure on George..."

Tang En nodded to show that he knew, but he continued Albertini's words: "Anyone playing with Keane will be under a lot of pressure. Do you think Arsenal captain Vieira is not under much pressure? Same. Roy Keane Well... that's the person. So, George, the same sentence, if you can't complete the task I gave you, I will replace you."

To Franck Ribery, Tang En spoke with a pleasant face, but to his favorite George Wood, he was harsh and harsh to the point of being unreasonable.If an ordinary player faced such an unreasonable arrangement, he would have already muttered to himself, right?

But Wood, no, Wood didn't even show any expression changes on his face, and nodded: "Okay." The tone was so flat that one felt that he must not have heard Tang En's words, and just responded casually.

Tang En didn't ask repeatedly: "Do you understand?" He turned around and said to the players in the team:
"Guys, you should know that football is a team sport. Whether it is offense or defense, it cannot be decided by one or two people. So...you also need to help Wood." He smiled, "Don't let Wood To be a Superman alone, I need eleven Supermen!"

"It's too simple, boss!" Eastwood raised his hands and stood up.

"Do you have any good suggestions, Freddy?" Dunn looked at him.

Freddy nodded and said solemnly, "Just put your underwear on outside!"

Even Viduka, who is usually more serious, couldn't help laughing after hearing what his strike partner said. His laughter was like a signal flare in the silent room, and everyone—including Players and coaches - all laughed out loud... The suffocating and boring air in the locker room was swept away with everyone's laughter.

※ ※ ※

When the head coaches of both sides reappeared on the sidelines, waiting for the kick-off whistle for the second half, Dunn glanced at Ferguson. This old Scottish man had a faint smile on his face, and his face was flushed.

Seeing this face that was always smiling, Tang En felt uncomfortable, so he quickly turned his face away.

45 minutes to go, don't laugh too early, Sir Alex Ferguson...

※ ※ ※

After the start of the second half of the game, it seemed to be a replica of the first half. Manchester United took advantage of the home court to launch a wave of attacks against the Forest team's goal. Wave after wave, the Forest team was very embarrassed.

Ribery remembered Tang En's words at halftime, but when he was in front and found that the football could not be passed to his feet, he hesitated or ran back... Counterattack?Then we must first not concede the ball.

Seeing that the team's situation has not improved, Tang En stood up from the coach's bench, walked to the sidelines, waved his hands and shouted at the field: "George!!"

Wood heard Tang En call him, but he didn't look back, he knew what Tang En called him for.

Keane pressed more frequently in the second half, which seemed to be Ferguson's instruction.Scholes and Roy Keane, plus Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy who took turns retreating, the defense in the center was indeed too tight.

Wood has never experienced such a feeling in the game - when facing Roy Keane, his spirit will be highly tense, and he will not have time to take a breath. Any negligence may bring fatal results.He didn't have the mind to think about other issues, only Manchester United's No. 16 in his eyes.

Twain understands the current situation very well, because he still remembers that when Keane announced his retirement, his number one rival in the Premier League...or his opponent, Patrick Vieira, once paid tribute to the captain of Manchester United , saying that Keane is the greatest midfielder he has ever played against. To play against Keane, you must bring up your full spirit and stimulate your [-]% energy.He likes the excitement of being fully committed and mastering the game.

Tang En didn't know whether Wood would like this feeling, but he could definitely play a life-and-death official game with Keane who was in good condition, and George's growth would be far greater than three months of hard work on the training ground.

There is a saying that has been buried deep in Tang En's heart. He has not said it to anyone: Even if the game is really lost, as long as the process meets Tang En's expectations, then he will not have any complaints.He can still bear the pressure of losing streak.

What he showed was to inspire the fighting spirit of the players, not as unbearable to lose as people imagined.

Failure is the only way to victory... Of course, there must be valuable failures.

"Roy Keane got the ball, but he couldn't shoot...he was always surrounded by George Wood, who was always with him. This should be coach Tony Twain's tactical arrangement."

Keane saw George Wood pressing forward and immediately distributed the ball to Ronaldo on the wing. Seeing this, Wood rushed to Ronaldo again. The Portuguese saw him coming and passed the football back to Keane's feet.Central defender Piqué stepped forward to make up for it, but was passed behind him. Fortunately, Forest's right back Leighton Barnes received it in time and interfered with Rooney and sent the ball flying.

Seeing the scene just now, Tang En shook his head off the court.This is not good, no matter how fast a person can run the ball.

Standing beside Keane, Wood watched goalkeeper Darren Ward give Barnes a thumbs-up, thanking him for recovering in time and dispelling a threat.A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.

Why not?
So he walked up to Albertini and explained his thoughts concisely. Albertini quickly understood Wood's thoughts, he thought about it, and then nodded: "Although this method is not arranged by the boss. , but I think you can try."

Then he turned around and told everyone Wood's thoughts, not everyone agreed, some people hesitated, because George Wood had never been a full-back in training, and the Spaniard Piqué had never been a midfielder.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Albertini said to several teammates who need to participate in this plan: "I don't think there is any hesitation. Looking at the score, we are already two goals behind. If we can't stop Manchester United We didn't have a chance to fight back at all. George's idea is very good, Piqué, have you ever played a defensive midfielder before?"

The Spaniard shook his head: "No, Demy."

"Then why not take this opportunity to try?"

"But this is an important game..."

"Never mind that, it's not a cup final. Well, I say it's settled. Piqué, normally you play at centre-back, and if you see Kean coming up to get the ball, you go out and press him. Then Barnes, you play central defender in the penalty area and leave the side corridor to George. Is it okay? If it’s gone, do it!” At the critical moment, Albertini showed the ability and courage that a captain should have, three times Five divided by two assigned new tasks.Of course, this is also related to his English level. He always avoids long sentences with complicated grammar, but uses phrases to express his meaning, so everyone understands it very well.

No one objected to him doing this, because everyone knew how much coach Tony Twain valued the Italian captain, and the relationship between the two of them sometimes didn't look like a simple coach and player...

Tang En saw his players get together on the sidelines, and then quickly separated, without knowing what happened.Then when Manchester United attacked again, he was surprised to find that Piqué was in Wood's position!
"Lower back!" He couldn't help shouting, and Chris Rack next to him asked, "Is there a problem, Tony?"

Tang En quickly shook his head: "No, no problem, this is very good..."

He still remembers that Piqué was loaned to Zaragoza in La Liga because he was unable to play in Manchester United's first team and Ferguson felt delayed playing in the reserve team. He also faced the dilemma of not being able to play at the beginning.However, the contract between Manchester United and Zaragoza stipulated that Piqué must play [-] times a season, so Zaragoza arranged for Piqué to play in the last few minutes of the game, and at the same time put him As a panacea, let him play wherever there is a shortage of people.For example - lower back.

Originally, Piqué could only play right back and center back, but in Zaragoza, he was forced by the environment, and the third position of the midfielder was also developed.

Facts have proved that Piqué is also doing well in the midfielder position, although his favorite is the defender...

Unexpectedly, Piqué's third position would appear in the Premier League two years in advance!

Piqué, who hit the midfielder for the first time, was completely overwhelmed by Keane, and was easily swayed away. Fortunately, Albertini made up for it in time to resolve the crisis.

Piqué gestured apologetically to the captain, but Albertini smiled and said to him: "It's the first time, it's inevitable. In fact, there is no difference. You just need to pay attention to your movements. The defense outside the penalty area is not the same as inside the penalty area." Similarly, don't step out easily, stick to him!"

Piqué nodded to show that he knew.

On the other side, the Portuguese prodigy Cristiano Ronaldo was a bit surprised to find his opponent changed.Leighton Barnes went to the penalty area, apparently starting as a central defender, and that scarred face...

Ribery wants to come back to assist in the defense, note, "assist".Although the frequent running up and down made him feel tired, he could still persist by gritting his teeth.

Wood looked up and saw Ribery running towards him, "What are you doing?"

"The boss said, assist in the defense..." The Frenchman secretly pointed to No. 7 of Manchester United.

"No." Wood rejected Ribery's kindness in a blunt tone, "You come back, who will attack? Go up." He pointed to Manchester United's backcourt and said.

Ribery wanted to refute, but opened and closed his mouth, then turned and ran back.

Cristiano Ronaldo was right next to Wood and could clearly hear the conversation between him and Ribery.The kid didn't even look at him when he was talking, and the Portuguese suddenly felt a resentment in his heart—look down on me?Do you think you can stop me alone?Ok, let's try it!
When Keane took the ball again to face Piqué and was about to break through, he suddenly saw Ronaldo waving at him vigorously from the wing, letting him pass the ball.

Such an obvious passing intention, idiots know to defend in advance!

Keane ignored it and chose to pass it to Scholes.Scholes gave Ryan Giggs on the left. Giggs' cross gave Ruud van Nistelrooy a header, but he missed it.

It seemed to give Ronaldo the opportunity to express his displeasure, and he waved his hand, slightly annoyed that Keane hadn't passed him the ball.Keene glanced at him, then turned and ran back.

Tang En snickered as he watched from below.Ronaldo, who just joined Manchester United, is a bit arrogant because he thinks he is good at dribbling, he is handsome, and the head coach thinks highly of him.At that time, there was a lot of negative news about him, and he was even driven back to his hometown in Portugal by Ferguson for a long time because of a fight with his teammates. At one time, it was reported that he would transfer to Manchester United.

This kid is still far from mature...
