Chapter 592 Change of Juan Wuhong's Identity

Moyes didn't expect, Everton fans didn't expect, even Nottingham Forest fans didn't expect-the goals in the opening game of the Premier League in the new season would come so quickly.

"This is the first Premier League goal of the 07-08 season, ten seconds! If you haven't turned on the TV, then you have missed such a wonderful goal! It's not someone's flash, it's A team's overall brilliance! Tony Twain's overall football is undoubtedly reflected in this goal!"

The narrator is quite excited, and record-breaking things are always worth writing about.When the game is over, news about the goal will appear in newspapers, TV, radio and the Internet.

On the field, the Forest players hugged each other.They are the directors of this goal. Ruud van Nistelrooy knew the accuracy of Beckham's long pass, and also knew how fast Arshavin and Ribery were, so he suggested to everyone during the warm-up, use This approach is head start.Ribery is double insurance, if Arshavin is blocked, Ribery will complete the shot.

This plan was faithfully carried out.

The perfect combination of Beckham's long ball and the speed of Ribery and Arshavin made this goal.

Ribery is the hero of the goal, but when the goal was scored, Ruud van Nistelrooy was still in the middle circle. He saw the goal and did not rush to Ribery, but turned to David Baker on the right Ham ran.

He hugged Beckham together with Van der Vaart, and the three of them ran forward in a crowd and joined the others.

"David Beckham, in his first game back in England, he reintroduced himself in the first ten seconds. This iconic long ball reminds us of him at Manchester United... …and now wearing the same red jersey as a Nottingham Forest player… Anyway, welcome back, David!”

Beckham raised his arms, with a smile as bright as the sun on his face, surrounded by his teammates, it was extraordinarily dazzling.

Maybe some people who don't know the inside story will think that Beckham can melt into the forest team so quickly because he is a world-class star, and many people want to give him face.Not so.The Forest team is a team that values ​​strength, just like Dunn said to Beckham's agent Simon Fuller, "As long as you have strength and treat people sincerely, you will be treated as one of your own, and you will never be treated badly." ".

※ ※ ※

Moyes sat on the chair and didn't recover for a long time.He was no stranger to Twain, and he was no stranger to this team.In order to prepare for the opening game before the game, he made very detailed preparations. In order to restrain the two wing attacks of the Forest team, he also asked the team to actively advance on the wing and suppress the opponent with offense.

Unexpectedly, this was really unexpected... After Ashley Young, who was fast on the right side of the Forest team and good at breaking through, his strength did not decline.Because they have a Beckham who can tear the opponent's defense with just one pass.

Is the person running fast, or the ball running fast?Isn't this nonsense, of course it's a ball.Beckham is on the right, which makes the opponent's defense a little uncomfortable.

In the past, it was okay to defend against Ashley Young, either relying on offense to suppress, or deploying heavy troops to guard, compressing space, and not giving Ashley Young a chance to break through.How to defend Beckham now?Offensive suppression?After the forest team steals the ball in the backcourt, there is no need to press up at all. The football is handed over to Beckham, and he makes a precise long pass, which is just in line with the forest team's best defensive counterattack tactics.

From this point of view, although there is a lack of a fast side, in fact, the Forest team's side attack is more difficult to defend.Because there are more changes.

Moyes, who was still like a stone Buddha just now, finally reacted. He scratched his head. The team fell behind ten seconds after the start of the home game. What should we do?It's too early to adjust now, he really has nothing to do now, he can only wait and see the changes.

※ ※ ※

Everton is definitely not a soft persimmon that was deliberately pinched casually. After being led by the Forest team, the players on the field quickly completed self-adjustment.

Nottingham Forest is the European champion and is already a strong team in the Premier League. Everton did not think that even if they played at home, they could easily beat their opponents.Conceding the goal was in their plan, but the team was a little surprised so early - despite careful preparations before the game, they fully estimated the difficulty of this game.But the improvement and strength of the Forest team is still somewhat unexpected.

Everton, who had completed self-adjustment, began to try to counterattack amidst the cheers of the home fans.

There are two noteworthy players in Everton's midfield, one is Australian Tim Cahill, and the other is Mikel Arteta, who has just transferred from Nottingham Forest.Cahill has been in Everton for many years, and Arteta is the new core of the midfield that Moyes intends to build up in the new season.

It can be seen from this game that when Everton attacks, the football will be handed over to Arteta and he will command it.

And Cahill is not a midfielder who is good at organizing offense, he is more like a midfielder with outstanding scoring ability.And Arteta is a typical "number four" from the Barcelona training camp, a bit like the "quarterback" in football-responsible for passing the ball to launch the offense and controlling the team's rhythm.

Dunn couldn't be more familiar with Arteta. After all, he played under him for two years.He knew that Moyes bought Arteta in order to build an organization core belonging to Everton. Arteta will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in this game, so he told Wood before the game that his target in this game is Arteta. Teta.

Others' tasks were arranged by Tang, but only Wood's tasks were done by Tang En himself. On the one hand, Tang En was used to this job and the way of talking to Wood.On the other hand, Wood may not be able to listen to someone else.

Freezing Arteta was really easy for Wood. Twain didn't even tell Wood what kind of person Arteta is, what technical characteristics he has, what his habits are, what he likes...the two are on the same team It's been two and a half years of training and competition. Don't you understand this?
Tang En only told him: "Freeze Arteta completely."

Mikel Arteta receives a pass from a teammate.The feeling of this game is very strange. Although the person wearing the blue jersey is his teammate, sometimes he always has the illusion that the person wearing the red jersey is his teammate.I have been with the Forest team for two and a half years, and it has only been one and a half months since I came to Everton. I am facing familiar faces. He knows their playing habits and hobbies in life.And I don't know enough about Everton teammates...

He was looking for a target to pass the ball to, and when he looked up, all he could see were people in red jerseys.I got used to it... Arteta shook his head, trying to get rid of this inexplicable thought.

The Spanish midfielder hesitated for a while and was intercepted by Wood.

The intense pain from his body brought him back to reality—he was already a member of Everton.Normally, one-on-one with Wood can only be played in team matches, but now there will be at least two live-fire confrontations in a season.

Wood just broke the ball and was about to find someone to pass the ball when he was pushed to the ground by Arteta who recovered.

The referee's whistle blew, and Arteta was fouled, giving Nottingham Forest a free kick near the center circle.

Despite the foul, Arteta won thunderous applause at Goodison Park.He used his actual actions to announce his break with the Forest team, and also won the favor of the fans of his new club.

Just as Wood was about to get up, there was an extra hand in front of his eyes, and when he looked up, he found that it was from Arteta.

Wood didn't take his hand, but said with a straight face: "We need to shake hands, wait until the game is over."

Arteta is not annoyed either, he knows the kid's character.Once entering the game, there are only two kinds of people left in this world-yourself and the enemy.

He used to be Wood's own person, but now he is an enemy.He was protected by Wood before, but now he...

Hey, what are you thinking so much about?Let's play!

※ ※ ※

Everton and Forest were at a stalemate in the midfield, both sides invested heavily and competed fiercely here.Wood kept Arteta on guard and Van der Vaart was surrounded by Lee Karsley and Thomas Gravesen.

Tony Twain didn't have any dissatisfaction with this stalemate. He was even happy to see a stalemate. The forest team was least afraid of stalemate, especially when they were already ahead.

Slowly consume the opponent, wear down the opponent's patience and fighting spirit, make them become impatient, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, leading by two goals, the situation will be even more favorable.

So the forest team's game is not very good... It's so deadlocked, can it look good?
But is it necessary to keep the game deadlocked like this?

If it was the previous Forest team, and encountered such a stalemate, they could only wait for the opponent to become impatient, otherwise the sideways would not open, and the offensive effect would be greatly reduced.If the current score is not 1:0 and the forest team leads, and then encounters a sophisticated and cunning opponent, Twain really has no more suitable way.

It's different now. The Forest team's wings can fly without space.

Under the double-teaming of two people, van der Vaart passed the ball to Beckham on the right.David doesn't break through very much, compressing space is useless for him, and defending his pass is king... But how to defend the pass?Pounce on him and pester him, so as not to let him spread the word?
What about jumping into the space behind?Beckham can choose not to pass a long pass, but assign it to teammates on the wing, and then run without the ball, throwing off the defense. As long as the football is passed, there are dozens of ways for professional players to move forward. advance.

Therefore, players who can only dribble and break through are not terrible, but those who can pass the ball are the scariest...

With Beckham's long pass, Moyes has only two ways.One is to compress the space at the back and prevent the forwards of the Forest team from receiving the ball easily, but this can only be limited to words. The form of the game is ever-changing.The second is to create offside.This is the simplest and most used method. Beckham's long pass is very penetrating, and sometimes it means offside.

Everton was offside during the game, and the defense was pressed very high.Arshavin and Ruud van Nistelrooy have been offside twice in a row.

Seeing this, Tang En got up and walked to the sidelines, whistled to attract the players' attention, and then made a gesture to let the players continue to pass through and increase the cooperation of hitting the wall.

If Moyes wants to create an offside, let him do it. The Forest team is now non-stop direct pass, direct pass, even if the first nine out of ten times are offside, as long as the last one succeeds... that is a decisive kill!

There is a great risk of creating an offside, of course Moyes knows that Dunn is very considerate and personally sent the risk up.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Van der Vaart said to his teammates in the middle and front field: "We will cooperate in front of their defense line. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. There is George behind the lost ball! As long as it succeeds once..." He Clenched fists, everyone understood what he meant.

Nottingham Forest has never been overturned by an opponent with a two-goal lead!
The next game was interrupted and restarted by the referee's constant whistle, and then interrupted again.Fouls, offsides...the stalemate continued.

At halftime, the score was still 1:0, with Nottingham Forest leading away.

※ ※ ※

During the intermission, Tang En praised the performance of the whole team. Although the goal was the credit of a few people, this score is the result of the concerted efforts of the whole team.

Especially for Arteta, it is obvious that after one and a half months, he has been built by Moyes into the core of Everton's midfield.But Wood was up to the task.

At the end of the first half, the blue jersey on Arteta's body was almost blue, and there were some grass clippings on his face.It looks very embarrassing, but Arteta must be no stranger to this, because most of Wood's opponents are like this when they are off the field.

Wood didn't look much better.

He was sitting in his seat to rest, while listening to Tang En talking about what to do in the second half.Bell leaned over and touched his arm lightly: "George." He whispered.

Wood glanced at him.

"One-on-one with Mikel in an official game... how does it feel?"

"You can experience it yourself."

"You know I'm not playing..." Bell said wryly.After finally dressing up carefully, he couldn't appear in front of the national TV audience, which was a blow to morale.

Seeing the troubled look of the little monkey, Wood couldn't help laughing.

"It's all my dad's fault. He insisted on holding me to teach me a lesson for a long time when I was going out, which made me late. It turns out that I really want to start..."

Bell was still chattering in a low voice, but suddenly he heard someone calling his name.

"Bell, Gareth Bell."

He stood up abruptly: "Huh?"

This time, the locker room burst into laughter.

Tang En looked at the "outstanding" Bell, dumbfounded, "Did you just get distracted?"

"Ah, uh..." Bell scratched his head, "I...sorry, boss, I was distracted."

"I said that if we are still 10-1 after 0 minutes of the second half, I will consider putting you on the field. You should be prepared." Dunn could only repeat what he said just now.

"Great!" Bell couldn't help exclaiming, like a child who got his favorite toy.His appearance made everyone burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter, Bell sat down happily and winked at Wood.

Tang En continued: "...If we can hold on to this score until 10 minutes into the second half, Everton will inevitably become restless. It is impossible for their offsides to be as neat and uniform as they were in the first half. There will be loopholes. If you play Bale, the main task is not to defend, but to attack and assist the team's attack on the left."

Bell nodded repeatedly.Although he is now a left back, his offense is far stronger than his defense, because he was originally a left midfielder.When defense is needed, Twain will rely more on Leighton Barnes. When he needs to let loose and attack, Bell is undoubtedly the most suitable.

It didn't take too much time to talk about the tactics. The situation was favorable for the Forest team. Tang En didn't talk nonsense. The rest of the halftime break allowed the players to move freely and relax.

Beckham is very popular because he never puts on airs in the dressing room. After getting to know him, everyone likes to chat with him.There were quite a few people around him, and Bell squeezed past him. It was his goal to become a world-class player like Beckham.Of course, it is currently impossible to improve from fame and strength, only the appearance is the most convenient and quickest.

His hair, heavily gelled and meticulously combed into a mohawk, catches the light from the dressing room.

"Hey, little monkey, are you going out on a date with your girlfriend?" Van Nistelrooy noticed Bell standing beside him, and wanted to touch his head with a smile, but let the other party hide.

"Hey, don't touch it, Luther. It took me a long time to get this done!" Bell jumped to avoid Van Nistelrooy's "black hand".

"It's messed up on the court." Wood suddenly said from behind.

It was the same as his father said, and Bell took a look at Wood.Wood has black hair. Although it is not as long as a woman's, it is not short, almost reaching shoulder length.His haircut is just... no hairdo.A simple middle part, split the hair from the middle, and divide it on both sides of the cheeks.When kicking the ball, they were scattered, and they were restored to order with a flick of the hand.It's simple and easy.

And it is said that this is the image specially designed for Wood by Wood's manager Billy Wooks - Wood's image is his true color.Wu Kesi thinks that this world is full of all kinds of posturing celebrities, every action and every word of them seems to be made after [-] times of deliberation in their hearts. In front of the public, make tender and graceful gestures.And everyone loves this misplaced aesthetic.

So he asked Wood not to pretend to be anything, and to show what he looks like in public.People with such a true temperament believe that they will definitely win more applause.

"There's hairspray," Bell retorted.

Wood didn't continue the topic either, he didn't say anything, and looked away.

The door of the locker room was pushed open, and Chris Lark appeared at the door. He slapped his hands: "Okay, guys! It's time for us to play!"

Wood was the first to walk towards the door, and everyone followed him out of the locker room.

Beckham patted Bale on the shoulder and gave him a wink as he passed.

Is this encouraged?Bell clenched his fists happily.
