Chapter 621
Bell's free kick missed, causing more than 2 Forest fans to sigh loudly, and they lost a decisive chance to tie the score.

Three minutes later, Van der Vaart's long-range shot was thrown by Cech and hit the post, and it bounced back and was fired by Terry.

Nottingham Forest seems to be really lacking a bit of luck, two goal frames, but no goal.

Twain also discovered that Mourinho seemed to have seen through his attack tactics in the middle.Makelele's foul on Wood was definitely not an accident or accident.

Because as long as Wood advances, Makelele will go up to defend him, not once or twice, but every time.If Wood does not come up, Makelele will protect the defense line next to Essien. As long as Wood comes up to participate in the offense, no matter whether he holds the ball or not, he will be closely guarded by Makelele.

There were rumors before this season that Makelele would leave Chelsea because he was old and Chelsea didn't need him anymore.But in the end, because Abramovich competed with Mourinho on the transfer fee, Mourinho, who had no money to buy new players, kept Makelele.

To be honest, although Makelele is old, the effect on the court is really different with him or without him.With this defensive midfielder who runs and intercepts tirelessly in the midfield, Chelsea's offensive players may have the energy to let go of the attack.This kind of change is difficult to explain clearly in a few words. If it is really said, it is related to many aspects and is more complicated.Anyway, with him, Chelsea's offense is sharper and its defense is more stable.

Wood came up a few times, but couldn't catch the ball. In the end, he could only make room for Van der Vaart. In this way, there was only one effect, and Chelsea's defense was easier to handle.

There was nothing the Forest team could do about their offense. Playing around Chelsea pushed Chelsea's defense tighter and tighter, leaving no room for offense at all.

It seems that this won't work, so I have to retreat and fight back...

Here comes the problem, the opponent leads by one goal, and they have no reason to push out and play as the Forest team expects.If Chelsea just shrunk their defense and waited for an opportunity to attack, Twain really had no good solution.He's used it against other teams before, so he knows how powerful it is - if nothing else, the result is often that the team with the first goal and counter-defense wins.

Of course, football games are always full of various accidents, and these accidents are exactly the charm of football.

Twain still let the team start to recover gradually. He didn't believe that Chelsea didn't have a loophole.

※ ※ ※

Nottingham Forest reclaimed the hope that Chelsea would attack, but Chelsea relied on a ball in hand and just couldn't come out.

The two teams have the posture of "come out if you have the guts!" and "come in if you have the guts!".

Chelsea's attitude of defending after a goal lead makes the home team fans very unhappy. Although the teams they support often do this in games, it is impossible for others to use this trick on them!

There was a neat booing from the stands. They were not booing the Forest team to fall behind by this score, but booing Chelsea to shrink their heads and dare not come out and fight the Forest team to the death.

So when the Forest team is attacking or holding the ball, there are no boos, it's all singing.And when the football fell to Chelsea, as soon as they didn't have a very clear intention to move forward, the boos would sound immediately.There is no one to direct, but it can be retracted freely.

Abramovich, who was sitting in the box, looked livid in the face of boos that could not be more clearly meant. Since Mourinho became the head coach, his team has never been praised as "good-looking". The media always commented on Mourinho's Chelsea as "utilitarian", "conservative", "negative" and "ugly". This kind of football is not what Abramovich likes.

Today, the thing he hates the most happened in front of him without any cover, can he be upset?
Mourinho was unmoved by the boos of the home team fans like wind and rain.He didn't intend to make any adjustments at all, just stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, watching everything that happened on the court.

Of course he knew that the scene of playing like this was ugly and would give people a feeling of a "negative game". At the same time, the boss who was watching the game from the stands would not feel very comfortable.But he didn't care about these voices and other people's perceptions. He was willing to do anything to win the game, not to mention trivial things like ugly scenes.

He doesn't want it to become a reality that he really hasn't defeated his opponent once in his coaching career at Chelsea.

A few years later, no matter how successful he was, people would gossip when recalling his coaching experience: "Do you know who Mourinho's nemesis is? It's Tony Twain! When he was coaching Chelsea Never beat Nottingham Forest!"

That's a tragedy...

He will not let this happen.

Someone once ridiculed that the turf at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, was like a "vegetable field" to describe how bad the quality of the turf there was.But the turf of the city stadium in this game is a veritable "vegetable field".The originally green field has been replaced by brown—the color of upturned soil.

The rain made the pitch slippery, and it was not uncommon to see the colors of the jerseys changed after the players turned upside down on the pitch.The dirt and grass clippings picked up by the spikes just scattered on the court, and no one bothered to re-align them.

The pitch became potholed, and the football moved irregularly on it, making the ball more elusive and causing more mistakes by players on both sides.

Now it depends on who can catch and use the opponent's mistakes as much as possible on the basis of making fewer mistakes.

Tang En replaced Lennon, and the situation of the field was very unfavorable for breakthroughs. Lennon had made mistakes during breakthroughs three times in a row and lost the ball.It can be seen that Lennon is very annoyed by the worsening field. The backward score and the field factors interfered with his performance, and his mentality became more and more irritable.

At this time, Tang En decisively replaced him and replaced him with Beckham who had been sitting on the bench due to minor injuries.

David Beckham's appearance made the booing of the city stadium disappear, and everyone stood up and applauded the big star.His arrival has added a lot of world-wide popularity to the Forest team.

This team that once defended the European Champions Cup was quite famous in the late 70s and early 80s, but after more than 20 years, it has gradually become unknown both in the world and in Europe.Even if Twain led the team to win the third European Champions Cup, many people still feel very surprised - where did this unknown guy come from?

This situation makes the Forest fans who are proud of the glorious past very unhappy.Fortunately, the arrival of Beckham helped them solve this problem.Because the media and fans want to pay attention to Beckham, they cannot ignore the club he plays for. For this team that is already a bit unfamiliar to modern people, the media have to take the trouble to introduce the honors they have won.When the list of champions came out, many people breathed a sigh of relief - this little-known team had won the Champions Cup twice before Twain!
In fact, this is what Evan Dalgety and Alan Adams hope to see: to promote and publicize the new vision of Nottingham Forest Club by introducing world-renowned football superstars.

David Beckham thanked the Forest fans who cheered him on before going on the pitch.It is undeniable that he is a person who pays great attention to his personal image, knows how to maintain this image, and knows how to satisfy the wishes of the audience.But it is also undeniable that he is also an excellent professional football player.

Tang En didn't replace him to satisfy sponsors and TV viewers.

The presence of Beckham weakened the Forest team's ability to attack on the right, but the precise long pass transfer and crossing from the side have been strengthened.

Now that both sides have made mistakes, Tang En thinks that if they rely on breakthroughs to find and grasp the opponent's mistakes, it is better to use simpler and quicker passes.He believes that Beckham has the ability to find loopholes and then pass the ball straight to Huanglong.

It turns out that the condition of the field is bad, which is not conducive to the movement of football on the ground, so we will use the air!
The change brought Bendtner back to life, as his height and header were the beacons of Forest's attack, guiding the direction of every pass.

Beckham almost assisted Bendtner to score with a cross from the wing in less than 3 minutes.

To play positional warfare, you must have a strong center forward, and Bendtner fits this requirement.

With Beckham playing, the Forest team also adjusted their tactics. The offensive method is no longer based on a strong attack from the center or a breakthrough from the side, but a cross from the side and a long shot from the center. There were some fatal mistakes in the game on such a muddy field.

Chelsea remained unmoved and continued to defend the penalty area. At the same time, as the game time passed, they counterattacked less and less, and the number of troops invested in counterattacks became less and less.

This is already obvious. Mourinho is very satisfied with the one-goal lead, and he is also very satisfied with the luck that Chelsea has gained so far. He believes that suffocating Tony Twain with a score of 1:0 is the best revenge. .

In order to complete this wonderful revenge, he can completely ignore the murderous eyes of Mr. Chairman in the box, the boos of the fans of the home team, and the muttering behind some players.He just wanted to win Tony Twain, and win in the way this man is best at!

※ ※ ※

The game time is getting shorter and shorter. The number of shots of the Forest team is increasing, but the success rate is not high. The pass from the side is simple and easy to be defended by the opponent. However, Twain is really at a loss.Facing this kind of "rogue tactics", he has nothing to do.

We can only increase our offensive strength and overwhelm Chelsea's defense. At the same time, we hope that the luck that cannot be found in the whole game will be on our side at the most critical moment.

He doesn't believe in God, nor does he believe in Sakyamuni Tathagata Buddha, or other Allah, Creator Titan, Amaterasu, Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun... He doesn't believe in any gods in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign galaxies, galaxies, parallel universes and other worlds. But at this moment, he was asking these gods for help in his heart.

I don't care who you are, just come and help me out!
If there are gods in this world, then these gods will definitely think that this human being is too shameless, and ask us for help if they don't believe in us...

They were right, Tony Twain was such a shameless person!

Well, as shameless as it is, there might be some god who heard Dunn's clamor in extreme boredom.

When the game time entered the last 10 minutes, in addition to crossing from the wing, Beckham began to try to use more long-range shots.Forest's midfielders can switch positions, and Beckham sometimes appears in the middle. His long shots are also of a high standard, and because of the added rotation, an arc is created, making it more difficult for the goalkeeper to guard against.

This is where Beckham's long shots are more terrifying than ordinary powerful long shots.

No. 804 minutes, only 10 minutes away from the end of the nine 6-minute game.The commentator began to repeat the old saying again: "Since Mourinho coached Chelsea, he has defeated countless opponents. At the same time, he also has a record-in 11-to-11 games, his team has never lost. Barcelona. However, there is another record on him that makes him very embarrassing and he doesn't want to be asked about - he has met Tony Twain's Nottingham Forest many times in the league and the Champions League, but he has never won... But those It's all in the past, so far in this game, Chelsea is very likely to score three points away from home. Three points, it doesn't help Chelsea's current situation, but for Mourinho, it can be regarded as an end It's a matter of heart."

The telecast gave a close-up of Mourinho from the side, still stern, with pursed lips and serious expression.From this face, you can't tell that he has the slightest sense of joy... Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the game is not over yet.

Tang En also stood on the sidelines, still frowning.But his expression really reflects his heart, which is different from Mourinho's cool one.

Beckham appeared in the middle again. He received a pass from van der Vaart and George Wood made a high-speed jump. The game was almost over. This kid's physical strength and speed are still very good.Makelele followed him back, creating a brief gap in front of Beckham.

Beckham took advantage of the fleeting opportunity and shot straight to the goal, barely making a run.As if he was shooting a free kick in a sports game, he leaned back and kicked an arc with his right foot straight to the top corner of the goal!
Cech was blocked by the wall-like crowd in front of the penalty area. When he found that Beckham's kick was not a pass, but a shot, it was too late when he wanted to get up to block it.Beckham's ball was spinning so fast that he didn't even have time to jump up, he just turned his head and looked in the direction the football was going...

The ball hit the net and splashed a lot of water!
It's not a side net, it's...a goal!
"David Beckham!" The narrator couldn't help laughing. "No. 805 minutes goal! Nottingham Forest equalized the score at the last minute! This is his second goal in the Premier League! He broke Mourinho's good deed!"

Seeing Beckham's goal, Mourinho, the man in black standing like a sculpture on the sidelines, finally made another move. He waved his arm angrily, turned around and walked back to the coach's bench, turning around in front of a group of people , complaining endlessly in his mouth.Personally overthrow the "cold" image he just established.

Tang En, on the other hand, calmed down at this moment. Instead of celebrating, he just turned around and gave Tang and Chris a high-five to celebrate.

Beckham ran to the corner flag area with open arms to welcome the cheers of the fans. Although he suffered minor injuries and missed the last few games, he still proved his ability to the fans.At the same time, scoring at this time also has a deep meaning-he sent such a signal to McLaren: My state is no problem, take me, I will never escape when England needs me!

The commentator shouted amid the thunderous cheers of the audience: "I really hope that McLaren is watching this game, Ashley Young is busy fucking with women, has he forgotten that we still have David Beckham? Such an excellent player, McLaren only allowed him to play in garbage time! Someone once said that Beckham gave up going to the United States and chose to return to England so that the head coach of the national team could observe in the nearest place His state, when we are faced with a wonderland where we may not be able to qualify, why don't we trust this man again? He saved us once (the last World Cup qualifier against Greece in 02), why can't we do it again?! Hey, Michaela Mr. Lun, have you been watching this game? If you are still troubled by the lack of a hero at the critical moment, look, here is one! He just saved Tony Twain's unbeaten record against Mourinho !He can go on to save England!"

※ ※ ※

The TV commentator was right. Beckham's goal saved Tony Twain's unbeaten record.The Forest team basically didn't have any plans throughout the game. No matter what kind of offensive method they had, they were counted by the opponent and had corresponding countermeasures. Just when Tang En thought the game would end like this and was very unwilling, a certain god finally Hearing his nagging complaints, I couldn't help this kind of endless nagging, so luck flashed on Beckham...

The score was finally fixed at 1:1.

When the game ended at 10 minutes, Twain turned around and walked towards Mourinho. He stretched out his hand first, and shouted at Mourinho from a long distance away, for fear that the other party would ignore him and walk away. .

"What a pity, Monsieur Mourinho!"

Hearing his voice, Mourinho turned his head to look at Tang En who was smiling all over his face, and said with a straight face, "It's so strange. It's the first time I've seen a head coach who is so happy after his home team draws with the visiting team."

After speaking, he turned and walked out without shaking hands with Tang En.

Tang En was left on the spot, and realized that something was wrong with his behavior. He retracted his outstretched hand and scratched his head in embarrassment.I just thought about humiliating Mourinho, but I didn't expect to humiliate myself...

He shrugged, turned and walked back to the center of his team. A home draw with Chelsea was not a good result.But football games are like this, and he can accept a draw.In comparison, Mourinho is much more unlucky-he still didn't win!
