Chapter 305 Volume [-] The Dirty Roschenback in the Red Forest
When Sporting Lisbon arrived in Nottingham, in the press conference held in the hotel where they stayed, the head coach Jose Pesero once said very low-key: "Nottingham Forest is a strong team and can score a point in the away game. , I am very satisfied..."

This kind of low-key is not only in a press conference, but also in various aspects.It seems that in the eyes of Sporting Lisbon, Nottingham Forest is indeed a dangerous opponent. When they came to Nottingham for adaptive training a few days earlier, the Portuguese were not open to the media.To the people of Nottingham, this cautiousness is a symbol of lack of strength.

Indeed, today's Sporting Lisbon is not the same as Sporting Lisbon back then. The only time they won the European Championship was 40 years ago...

The quarter-finals had just begun, and the Forest team showed the momentum of the home team. Without any test in the midfield, the Forest team hit the goal of Sporting Lisbon in the first attack.

In this game, Twain dispatched eleven of the best and strongest players he could dispatch.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.Center back Hierro and Matthew Empson.The left and right full-backs are Leighton Barnes and Chimbonda.Defensive midfielders George Wood and Albertini.Franck Ribery on the left and Ashley Young on the right.Two strikers Freddie Eastwood and Viduka.

When Twain was not in rotation, this was the main lineup of the Forest team. It had the vigor of a young man and the calmness of a veteran. It was a perfect combination.

Looking around at Sporting Lisbon's lineup, Twain felt a little strange. It was not easy for him to match the names and faces of many players, let alone get to know them in depth.But fortunately, the first round was at home. Twain's strategy was to grab points at home. He had to win, he had to win by a big margin, and he had to concede as few goals as possible.

Failure to achieve these three goals is not a victory.

"...Mark Viduka! Great shot! A great save from Ricciardo, the Portugal goalkeeper who scored the last penalty in the European Cup against England."

This is a crazy goalkeeper.Tang En was deeply impressed by this. In that battle, Ricardo first saved England's penalty kick without wearing gloves, and finally went into battle and scored the last goal himself, eliminating England.Because of this relationship, Ricardo's wonderful save did not win him applause, but was booed by England fans.

Ricciardo is the captain of Sporting Lisbon and one of the few Portugal internationals in the team.With him as the core, Sporting Lisbon's defensive tactics in this game are already very obvious.

Peseiro wants to score a point at Forest's home ground and, if possible, an away goal on top of that.Even if they don't even get a point in the end, as long as they have an away goal and return to their home court, everything is easy to say.

But Tang En would not let him get his wish.

Viduka's powerful blast opened the prelude to the Forest team's offensive frenzy. Amidst the cheers of the Forest team fans, wave after wave hit Sporting Lisbon's goal.

"...Nottingham Forest played very aggressively at home and the speed with which they got into the game was amazing!"

This is natural. Twain has prepared for this game for a long time. Recently, the team's daily training has revolved around the UEFA Cup. If Twain's requirements cannot be met by the time of the game, it is a He's a white belt on the team.

Viduka's shot didn't score, but the goal came quickly.

In the 9th minute of the first half, Forest's continuous offensive finally knocked on the door of Sporting Lisbon.

Viduka attracted two Sporting Lisbon defenders in front, and then passed the ball from his feet to Albertini who stepped in, and the Italian swung his foot to make a direct shot.Portugal's defensive players did not dare to neglect, and rushed forward to block.Although the Italian is old, that long shot is still enough to deter the enemy.

When the opponent jumped up and used his back to block Albertini's shot, Albertini suddenly passed a through ball!

Eastwood received a pass from Albertini at the front of the penalty area. After leaning on Fabio_Rochemback who was defending him, he turned and hooked the ball into the penalty area. In this way, around him The surrounding Sporting Lisbon players didn't dare to shoot rashly, because as long as they stretched their feet and touched Eastwood, there was a 90.00% chance that the opponent would fall to the ground. Compared with a single-handed ball, a penalty kick is more stable means of scoring.

The surrounding Sporting Lisbon defenders were wary and did not dare to move.Roschenback, who was leaning behind Eastwood, didn't care about that much. He only knew that the opponent was in the penalty area, and he was outside, and he was about to shoot. He must not let the opponent succeed!
He pushed behind, hoping Eastwood, who was about to shoot, would lose his balance.Unexpectedly, Eastwood took advantage of the situation and turned the push into a lob!
The center of gravity of the body is leaning forward, the legs are on the spot, and the toes are raised... The football soared into the air, flew over the head of Ricciardo, who blocked Eastwood's shooting angle, and then fell into the forest amidst the huge cheers of the Forest fans. Behind the goal!

"1:0! The game has just started and within 10 minutes, Nottingham Forest took the lead! This is really an exciting start! Look at Tony Twain's excitement..."

Tang En was really excited. He knew very well what it meant to take the lead at home in such an important game.It's no wonder that when Eastwood lobbed the ball into the goal, he was the first to rush from the coach's bench to the sidelines with his arms raised, and then slammed his fists into the sky so that everyone could see his unabashed expression. mood.

After taking the lead, the Forest team played better, there is no doubt about it.

Now let's see how the head coach of Sporting Lisbon plans this game.If less losses are regarded as wins, this score is not unacceptable, and he can continue to hold on.But if you want to score an away goal and a point, you must come out to attack. Although the possibility of scoring is greatly improved, at the same time, their defense will have more loopholes that can be exploited.

Insurance and adventure.

Jose Peceiro had to make a choice.

"0:1? It's nothing." Picero, who was sitting on the coach's bench of the visiting team, shrugged and said to his assistant that he was not too frustrated. "For an away game, everything must be considered carefully, and this is all within my plan. There is no need to make any changes now, and continue the game. We have enough time..." He glanced up at the electronic scoreboard on the stands .

"The scorer was Freddie—"

The live broadcast was loudly reporting the player who scored just now, and the fans in the stands responded in unison with a tacit understanding: "—— Eastwood!"

The Gypsies are being celebrated by their teammates on the field.

Brazilian Fabio Roschenbach was still standing where the opponent scored just now, staring at the crowd with a gloomy face.

He originally thought that if he leaned up to harass this thin boy, he should lose his balance, but he didn't expect that he would help him instead, allowing him to shoot a lob that Ricardo couldn't guard against!

I am afraid that at least one-third of the credit should be credited to Roschenback...

This is what makes the Brazilian angry. Instead, his defense has become a knife for his own people.He clenched his fists, this debt will be recovered sooner or later!

The game restarted, and the morale of the leading Nottingham Forest was high. They continued to attack Sporting Lisbon amidst the loud singing of the fans in the stands, and there was no intention of taking a short break.

A one-goal lead is not safe.Twain has successfully instilled this kind of thinking in his players. If they can score two goals, they will definitely not stop after leading by one goal.Conservative is also divided into grades.Being conservative after leading by one goal is obviously a low-grade conservative, and being conservative after leading by two or more goals is high-grade. As for those who start to be conservative before leading, it is obviously the lowest grade-refer to France in 98 Italy vs France in the World Cup...

After the goal, Eastwood was very active. He retreated to take the ball to meet his teammates, cruising around Viduka to find opportunities, and if he couldn’t shoot, he would seek cooperation with Viduka. Anyway, he played a very important role on the field. effect.

Looking at Eastwood's hard work from below, Dunn wondered if the club's emphasis on Wood stimulated him?The gypsy doesn't care about the club's favoritism, he just doesn't want to lose to George Wood in his heart, right?
Despite being a father of two soon, Eastwood is still a young lad for his age.Gypsies get married at a very young age, and they can get married and have children at the age of 14.

Since he is still young, he will be very competitive.Lose to someone you don't like?This is not something Freddie Eastwood can accept.

Dunn knew the mentality of the gypsies very early on.At that time, it was believed that this could be controlled and become a healthy competition. For the Forest Team, this is undoubtedly a good thing.But now, after the media's unscrupulous hype, the atmosphere of benign competition may be broken at any time. There is only a thin line between benign competition and vicious competition, and the consequences are completely different.

This game may be an excellent opportunity for them to get to know each other and turn their fights into friendships.But maybe it will make things worse - as long as the game is lost.

From the current point of view, the team is ahead, and Twain doesn't need to worry too much.

"Freddie Eastwood is by far the most active player on the pitch. After scoring a goal, he has also threatened Sporting Lisbon's goal several times. He has just completed the first league of the season. A hat-trick and a great form."
