Chapter 368 Volume [-] Red Forest United City Stadium
Although Raul's state is not as good as before, and although Ronaldo is already fat and out of shape, these two people belong to the kind of superstars who can decide the outcome of the game by giving them three seconds of time and space.There are no such players in the forest team. Twain cannot guarantee that his players will keep an eye on Ronaldo and Raul every second during the 10 minutes of the game.

What's more, the central defender combination of the Forest team in this game has rarely played together as a partner.

With in-depth analysis, Tang En felt more and more that it would be too difficult to beat Real Madrid based on the current situation of the Forest team, even at their own home court.

He sat with Don every day at home and studied Real Madrid's game tape, hoping to find weaknesses that they could exploit.

"I don't think Real Madrid is invincible, but the premise is that we must score first." Tang told Tang En in this way, "If you let Real Madrid score first at that time, just wait to lose the game."

"Will the first goal guarantee victory?"

"Of course not, but it can increase your winning rate..." Tang thought for a while and said, "12.00%."

"What a frustrating analysis. Come on, I don't care about these messes. No matter whether you can win or not, and what the winning percentage is, at least try your best in the game..."

Tang expressed different opinions on this: "If you know that the winning percentage is not high, why do you spend so much energy and energy on this game? This is not a knockout round. There are still many games in the group stage. You are in this game If you lose too much, it will affect the future..."

Tang En interrupted him: "This question cannot be simply considered from the results of the game and the schedule...or, in other words, it cannot be simply considered from the football game itself. You know that this Nottingham Forest team has gone from the English Championship to the Championship in two and a half years. The Premier League, from the UEFA Cup to the Champions League, what do you rely on? Strength? Of course we have strength, but we have not yet reached the point where we can complete this rocket-like rise. Luck? Maybe, we don’t have many injuries , luck is also good. But the most important thing is that this forest team has a spirit - the spirit of not admitting defeat. It is this spirit that allows the forest team to create many achievements that others can't even imagine. We are not afraid of any Team, we will never give up. Do you think I don’t know the priorities? Of course I do, but as a coach, I have to be consistent and I have to keep that spirit for the team.”

"There are some games where we have no hope of winning no matter how you look at them. Even at such times, I will tell my players: We can definitely win, and we will let those who swear that we will lose will spit themselves out. Lick the saliva that came out!" Tang En clenched his fists, his Forest team did a lot of things like this. "Even if we really can't win the game, we will be the winner in the end. I won't just emphasize the theory of spiritual invincibility, but if a team doesn't even have this spirit...then the Forest team and those There is no difference between teams that are struggling in the lower reaches of the league and only think about how to avoid relegation."

"It is absolutely impossible for me to tell my players-let's give up this game, rest and prepare for future games. Maybe this is the case, but I can't say it. Because saying it means that I agree with this attitude. When the game is in trouble, when we need to fight hard, my players will think of this sentence, and then they will say that since there has been a precedent, it is okay to give up this time, anyway, we still have a future The game is going to be played, and the head coach will definitely agree with our approach... This is a terrible idea, and it will spread like the plague." Tang En opened his arms and waved, "Then it will be invisible If it erodes the fighting spirit and competitive spirit of the players, the team is finished at that time, and no matter how high the technical and tactical level of the head coach is, there is no way to take such a team.”

"A team must have a soul, and the soul of the Forest team is—knowing that it can't be done...to do it."

After Tang En finished his speech, Tang looked up at him in a daze for a long time, then slowly said: "You are indeed...more suitable...to be the head coach than me."

As analyzed before the game, even if Real Madrid has many internal conflicts, it is still difficult to deal with.But Tang was right about one thing - the Forest team scored first.

At the beginning of the game, the Forest team put on an unexpected all-out stance, which made Real Madrid's head coach Brazilian Luxenberg completely unexpected.He thought that facing the mighty Real Madrid, the Forest team would first stabilize their defense.Unexpectedly, the Forest team stunned Real Madrid with three tricks in the opening game.

The superstars of Real Madrid are a little at a loss in the face of the aggressive offensive of the young forest team.

As a result, in the 7th minute, Casillas' goal was declared lost.The goal scored by Franck Ribery ignited the atmosphere of the audience, Tang En also seemed very excited, as if he saw the dawn of victory.

But after taking the lead, the rhythm of the game slowly fell into the hands of Real Madrid.After all, Pepe is not an authentic defensive midfielder, making it difficult for him to mark Zidane. The Forest team can only rely on physical strength to form a numerical advantage in partial defense. The price of this is that they have no time to attack.

After taking the lead, the Forest team was overwhelmed by Real Madrid, and they were in a panic.

Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid leveled the score, not Raúl, nor Ronaldo, but midfielder David Beckham, the iconic scimitar free kick.

Beckham's popularity in the UK is indeed high. When he scored, the city stadium could even hear the applause from the home team fans.

Faced with this kind of conceded goal, Twain really had nothing to do. Before the game, he emphasized that Real Madrid should not be given too many free kicks in front of the penalty area. Only gave Real Madrid two free kicks in the dangerous zone, the first Beckham flew, and the second time he scored...

This ball was not lost at the tactical level, but was lost to the personal abilities of the stars.

"David Beckham! Impeccable goal! There's nothing van der Sar can do!"

Seeing Beckham hugging and celebrating with his teammates on the field, Twain thought that two years later, such a person would end his career in the American football desert. pity.

The situation did not improve in the second half. Real Madrid continued to occupy both sides in the away game. Usually, everyone didn't feel anything, but when Wood was absent from the game, everyone felt different-this was not a problem of missing one player, but two missing players.

Pepe can't guard Zidane at all. He is too different from Zidane. The requirements of adding a midfielder are different from that of a central defender. He plays very awkwardly.

Tang En broke the boat and tore Wes Morgan away, allowing Pepe to return to the most familiar and skilled central defender position, and then replaced him with a striker - Bendtner.In this way, the Forest team changed to 433, basically completely abandoning the midfield defense, hoping to suppress Real Madrid's arrogance with crazy offensives, and score goals again, making the situation favorable to them.

He's halfway there.The Forest team that had just made adjustments did show an aura that even Real Madrid players did not expect. They suppressed Real Madrid's offense.

Facing the Forest team's attack after wave after wave, even Real Madrid can't be careless, after all, their defense has never been reassuring.Luxenberg's team began to focus on defense, and for a long time, the score did not change.

It seemed that this match might end in a tie. If that was the case, Tang En felt good about it, at least he couldn't lose points first.

What is the difference between giants and ordinary teams?It's not that they will have a very good head coach, or that their tactics are better than ordinary teams, but that they have some superstars who can decide the game alone.

In the last 5 minutes of the game, Ronaldo, who had been walking for 85 minutes, suddenly started to turn offside, received a long pass from Beckham's backcourt and broke into the penalty area, then easily shook Van der Sar and scored an empty goal. The score became 1 : 2, the Forest team fell behind at home.

"Five minutes! It's not time to finish yet!" Tang En waved his hand, forcing the whole team to press forward. Anyway, if you lose one goal, you lose. If you lose two goals, you still lose if you lose three goals.It is not a knockout match now, there is no rule of "double scoring of away goals", if the whole line is pressed, it may be possible to tie the score.

Twain's goal has become to win the game and to equalize the score...

The result did not let him get what he wanted. The facts are cruel. Nottingham Forest lost 1:2 to the "Galaxy Battleship" Real Madrid at their home court.

Real Madrid are off to a strong start to their Champions League campaign, while Forest's prospects are clouded.

At the post-match press conference, Tang En was not convinced by the loss. He kept emphasizing that his team lost to two people—Beckham and Ronaldo. The implication was that the Real Madrid team did not beat the Forest team.

"I admit that Wood's absence has caused us a lot of trouble. When I go to the Bernabeu next time, I will give everyone a surprise."

This is very much in line with Twain's usual style of not giving up when he loses, but how many people take it seriously?

Reporters in Spain laughed, and some in the English press laughed.The former is a disdainful smile, but the latter... This is more complicated, because Pierce Bruce is also among the laughing crowd.
