Chapter 856 The Heart of the Seven Lion Kings Collapsed?

Nottingham Forest now seems to be walking on a narrow path that can only be passed by one person sideways, with abysses on both sides.As the footsteps moved, there were not small broken stones rolling down, but the echo echoed in the abyss, getting smaller and smaller.

In such an environment, if you are not careful, you may stumble and fall, and then you will not even be able to find your bones.

In short, there is not even a millimeter of margin for error in Nottingham Forest right now.You can't lose in the Champions League, let alone in the league.Who told them that their goal this season is the Triple Crown?
For this away game against Arsenal, Tang En didn't care about the rotation anymore, and deployed the strongest lineup he could.

At the Emirates Stadium, Nottingham Forest is facing a wave of offensive from Arsenal.It was basically the same as the last Champions League game. Arsenal's attacking rhythm was very fast, which made the Forest team exhausted on the field.

Due to the need to win the game, Twain did not choose conservative tactics, which was different from the last Champions Cup.In the last Champions League game, Nottingham Forest chose to defend and counterattack because they already had a one-ball lead.Now that the score is still 0:0, there is no value in being conservative-he doesn't need a draw, and he can't accept any other result except victory.

Therefore, in this game, Twain asked the team to actively attack. Even if they were a little dizzy by Arsenal's fast attack, they could not retreat. Instead, they actively fought against Arsenal in the midfield.

This is what Wenger wants to see most.Nottingham Forest will consume a lot of physical strength in such a fight.

In fact, Twain was also aware of this, Arsenal wanted to drag Forest down.But now he has no choice but to try to kill Arsenal before he is dragged down.

"George! George!" Dunn kept calling Wood's name off the court, signaling him to be more aggressive and not to be afraid of fouls.

Gago is also very desperate on the field. He practiced a "desperate Saburo" style in Real Madrid.Now in the forest team transition to learn from Redondo, but Tang En still intentionally let him keep this spirit.

The opponent is using the same tactics, but the Forest team played harder than the previous game.In addition to the fact that they cannot choose to be conservative, the advantage of Arsenal's home game cannot be ignored.

In this game, Wenger's team gave full play to their delicate skills and tacit understanding and smooth attack. The continuous campaign made the whole Forest team very tired, facing Arsenal's attack with more than enough heart but not enough power.

After persisting for 29 minutes in the first half, the forest team's defense finally showed a gap, which was caught sharply by Arsenal. Behind the defensive line, onside!

"Not offside! Bella has the ball!"

Pepe is still raising his hand to signal Bella offside, but Akinfeev has abandoned the goal.Huge cheers erupted from the Emirates Stadium.

Amid the cheers, Bella made a low shot!

The football goes under Akinfeev's armpit, hits the far post and bounces into the goal...

"The goal was scored! Beautiful anti-offside! A wonderful assist from Cesc Fabregas!!" Amid the tsunami-like shouts, the live broadcast commentator had to raise the volume and shout along with the fans. "Arsenal took the lead at home! This dealt a heavy blow to Tony Twain's Nottingham Forest!"

After losing the ball, Akinfeev was a little angry. He walked over and yelled at Pepe: "Asshole! Why didn't you return to defense just now?"

Pepe was obviously also angry. He pushed his teammates away roughly: "This is fucking offside!"

"Whether it's offside or not, you fucking should come back to me! You bastard!" Akinfeev was a little annoyed when he was pushed instead of questioning. Teammates rushed forward to separate the two.

Seeing this scene from the sidelines, Tang En was so angry that he almost vomited blood.He kept cursing: "These bastards! Shame on the live broadcast!"

Wenger next door was sitting on a chair with a hidden gloating smile on his face.Forest team infighting?This is an uncommon play.It looked like the Forest team was about to collapse under the weight.

Even the commentator became excited: "Oh! The players of Nottingham Forest had a conflict, and it was a conflict between their own people! Now I have seen some! I have commented on the Premier League games for nearly ten seasons , the commentator said that the Forest team had played more than [-] games, and they had never seen such fierce conflicts among themselves! Tony Twain always boasted that his team was the most united team in the world, There are indeed very few negative news about their locker room in the media. But today...all of this happened in front of our eyes, which is really rare in a century! I am already looking forward to the end of the game. How did Tang En face the swarming reporters..."

"What are you doing!" At the same time, on the field, the players of the Forest team were trying to calm down the two "angry bulls".

"Calm down!"

"Stop making trouble, have you all taken the wrong medicine!"

Wood was between the two of them.One in each hand, push them away.But the two of them broke away from Wood, and they were still reluctant to let go.

The Arsenal supporters in the stands booed and laughed gloatingly after a moment of stupefaction - fans of any team always like to see their opponents make a fool of themselves in front of them.

The laughter and boos were harsh to Tang En's ears, even harsher than those who scolded him "you bastard" in front of him.

He finally stopped muttering alone, but rushed to the sidelines and yelled loudly at the inside: "Now it's live broadcast, bastards! Live broadcast!!"

His voice was drowned in the huge boos at the scene, and he was not heard.Instead, it attracted special attention from the camera.The telecast gave him a long close-up.In the camera, he clenched his fists, his face was flushed, his eyes were wide open, and he looked really angry.

Shania, who saw this scene in the box, stood up nervously from her seat. Whenever Tang En was excited, Shania would be so worried.

Tang En yelled in vain on the sidelines until he returned to the coach's bench panting to ask for water, but there was no result.Chris Rack handed him the water and muttered, "Is it too stressful?"

Tang En took the water bottle and didn't pour the water into his mouth. Instead, he stared blankly at Chris Lark, who looked a little scared.He suddenly stopped drinking water, and stopped swearing at people on the sidelines. Instead, he sat down and stared at the field without saying a word, as if he was lost in thought.

At the last moment, George Wood launched his "coercion" as the captain, grabbed Pepe and Akinfeev by the skirts, and told them to calm down.

"It's a match now, we have to wait until the match is over before we fight!"

Even the head referee intervened, calling the two to his side and giving a verbal warning.Tell them that even if they are teammates in the first team, if there is a violent physical conflict, he must give a yellow card.

The anger between the two of them was only a little bit less, but they still didn't see each other right.

They walked back to their places with each other without saying a word.

Taking advantage of the internal strife in the Forest team just now, Wenger also got up and walked to the sidelines, and beckoned Fabregas over to teach him the opportunity.

"They have their own problems, this is our chance. Go ahead and assist Pepe on that."

Fabregas nodded while drinking water.

After returning to the field, Arsenal really adjusted their tactics and made Pepe the main attack direction.Pepe was obviously affected by the loss and the quarrel, because honestly the ball went past him, and he really didn't actively return to defense, maybe he deserted at that moment, or something The reason, always his mistakes caused Vela to easily score the ball.For a while, the forest team was in danger.

After Tang En saw this, he also got up from the coach's bench, called Wood's name loudly on the sidelines, and gestured for him to take Pepe's place.After Wood took the lead and left, the Forest team's defense regained a firm foothold in Arsenal's stormy offensive.

Fortunately, there was not much time given to Arsenal in the first half. Even if there was infighting in the Forest team, it was only 3 minutes of stoppage time.The referee quickly blew the whistle for the end of the first half, which also made Arsenal fans a little dissatisfied-they thought that if they gave Arsenal 1 minute, Nottingham Forest's goal would be lost for the second time.

Despite this, the Arsenal players returned to the dressing room in a happy mood, because they saw their opponents collapse first-hand - nothing affects morale more than when players of the team clash with each other in the game, because things like this It's such a shame...

Just look at the way the Forest players walked off the field without bowing their heads.They wish this game would end and escape the Emirates Stadium early.

Tang En dragged at the back, and he stood alone on the sidelines for a while before slowly walking towards the corridor.

This figure seems very tired.

Shania's face sank when she saw this scene in the box.

Tony Twain, who was flamboyant on the sidelines of the court, after going through such an intense game, would feel as if he had aged ten years instantly when he returned home.He has a heart problem, and the pressure is still so great... She is really worried.

※ ※ ※

The Forest players in the locker room were silent.Akinfeev and Pepe are separated by a long distance, and no one looks at the other.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, someone looked up and saw the boss.

They didn't see the angry expression on the boss's face, not even the calm before the storm.

Tang En glanced at everyone, his eyes turned very slowly, it seemed that it took several minutes to look at them one by one, and the locker room was dead silent.Chris Lark is not the kind of person who can bear this kind of atmosphere. He wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but finally gave up.

He felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Tang En finally spoke: "I think I miscalculated one thing - I am happy to play that kind of exciting bet with others, but I forgot your ability to bear it. It is not mine for you to bear this kind of pressure like me You all know the original intention... Uh, I hope to take all the pressure on my head, so that you can play without any worries. Now it seems that I was wrong, wrong too much." He kept shaking his head in denial looking at himself with a painful and tired expression.

"So I won't put any pressure on you in this game, you can play as you like... As for eating the table, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way."

After speaking, Tang En sat down on the chair and let out a long breath.

"Igor and Pepe don't have to worry about it. I don't blame you for this. I know that you are all thinking about the team, so...it's over." He clapped his hands, as if he really didn't care. Take it to heart.

"I realize now that winning the Triple Crown is not an easy task, especially in our situation. Winning the Triple Crown is simply a daydream. The ridicule outside is justified. I, Tony Twain, am always used to it." Big talk, but thanks to you, every time you make my big talk come true...but this time it's different, the Triple Crown is really...difficult. Okay!" He got up from his seat again, raising his Volume, "I admit defeat! We are not qualified to win the Triple Crown! Everyone, go home and sleep after this game, don't think about anything, let's fight for a championship in the Champions League and the FA Cup."

"Let's put down the pressure, everyone! Losing to Arsenal in this game is not a big deal! As long as we eliminate them in the Champions League, it will be revenge!"

After Tang En finished speaking, he found that the locker room was still dead silent, even quieter than before.He asked strangely: "What's the matter? Why don't you talk? Am I wrong? Hey, I'm doing it for you, guys! I'm trying my best to decompress you! You're fucking like this What kind of attitude? What are you looking at me for? What’s the point of not talking?” He suddenly cursed loudly, his breathing became heavy, and he stared at everyone in the room.

"Say something! Like 'OK, we dropped the league' or something!"

"No." Wood stood up. "I don't want to give up the league." After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang En.

Pepe hesitated for a moment and then stood up: "Boss...I apologize to you for the first half...I just saw that the ball was lost..."

"That's why I'm here to decompress you, isn't it?" Tang En spread his hands and shrugged.

"But what I want is not this kind of decompression..." Pepe shook his head, "I, like George, don't want to lose the championship."

"Boss... none of us said we would give up the league, why did you say those words?" Akinfeev stood up this time, "I apologize to Pepe, I was a little impulsive in the first half , but it's okay now. We're only one goal behind, why give up?"

More and more people are standing up and expressing their wishes.No one wants to give up, they all want to win the championship.In the end, everyone stood and surrounded Tang En.

Tang En looked left and right.

"It's strange, so you suddenly don't want to lose this game?"

"We didn't say we were going to lose the game, boss!" Someone corrected the mistake in Dun En's words.

"Do you really want to win?" Tang En asked suspiciously.

"Does anyone want to lose?" Wood asked back.

After hearing Wood's words, Tang En raised his hands to his chest, lowered his head, and signaled everyone not to speak yet.He was silent for a while, and then said: "Very well, then from now on, you all completely forget what I just said! Forget about those damn 'give up the league', 'wash up and sleep'. Let us arrange The tactics against Arsenal in the second half..."
