champion godfather

Chapter 873
At the start of the second half, Forest fans were still paying attention to the latest developments next door. When they heard on the radio that Robinho had been substituted at the start, they cursed McLaren.The main striker was replaced by a young man, and any fool knew what this meant.

Tang En also heard the news from Chris Lak, he shrugged.See if others are unreliable after all, or you can only trust yourself...

Sunderland started the second half like a collective dope, launching a fierce attack on the Forest team's hinterland.What coach Nelson said at half-time helped.

But is Tang En's words useless?
Sunderland's full-court press is prone to some active mistakes when they are all hot-headed, the so-called "steal the ball and lose the ball".

The Forest team seized this active error by Sunderland, and launched a counterattack after stealing the ball, directly threatening Sunderland's goal.

When the Sunderland players were daydreaming, hoping to defeat Nottingham Forest in one fell swoop in the second half, they did not expect that they had become the prey of the Forest team.Scottish goalkeeper Gordon finally put up his hands and surrendered after trying twice.

At that time, the Forest team launched an attack from the wing, and Bell rushed up and played an over-the-top two-on-one with Fernandez on the wing, and then made a cross.The ball was hit by Gordon's fists, but it didn't hit far.Gago from outside the penalty area swung his foot and took a long shot, and the football hit Irish defender Paul McShane.

The football did not fold into the goal, but fell to the feet of Forest striker Ibisevic. The Bosnian was not polite and shot with his foot.The football flew into the empty goal without any suspense.

"Nottingham Forest leads Sunderland 2-0!!"

Just four minutes into the second half, Nottingham Forest extended their lead.This goal was a very heavy blow to Sunderland-they wanted to score the goal of the Forest team, but they did not expect to be filled by the Forest team.What relegation... It seems like a joke at this moment.

After the goal, Ibisevic clenched his fists and waved to the sky.

The Forest team can't control the game between Arsenal and Manchester City. The only thing they can do is to score as many goals as possible in the game against Sunderland and vent their anger on Sunderland.

It's just that if Manchester City can't draw or beat Arsenal, no matter how many goals the Forest team scores, it will be futile, more like a helpless resistance.

When the team scored a goal, Twain wasn't as excited as usual, he just shook his fist on the sidelines and sat back down.Continue to wait for news from the Emirates Stadium.

※ ※ ※

"Arsenal's two goals in the first half put the game into garbage time early, which is not what we want to see...Manchester City seems to have no fighting spirit. If they continue to play like this in the second half, the FA officials will You can shake hands with Arsenal's club chairman Hill Wood in advance." The neutral commentator was obviously dissatisfied with the one-sided game that had been highly anticipated and anticipated before the game.

What he wants to see is a wonderful and fierce match, neither side is willing to admit defeat first and fight until the last moment.Coupled with the match between Forest and Sunderland in another stadium, the life-and-death struggle of the four teams kept the suspense of winning the championship until the last second.

This is a game worthy of the fierce competition ahead of this season's Premier League.

If Arsenal won the championship so easily, it would be too unfair to Nottingham Forest, which has been trying to catch up... At the very least, Manchester City should work hard to bring a little excitement to Arsenal.

The idea of ​​the Arsenal fans must be completely opposite to that of the commentator. They were singing and dancing in the stands, jumping up and down, and even wished that the referee would blow the whistle for the end of the game now.The beer prepared to celebrate winning the championship has been carried out, and fans in the stands can't wait to hold up banners and slogans celebrating the successful championship.

Arsenal's substitute players sat on the bench, talking and laughing happily, with relaxed expressions.Wenger became the one who paid the most attention to the game.He is not blindly optimistic, even if they win 90.00% of the game, he doesn't want to be too excited before the end of the game.

Les Pat just told him that Nottingham Forest also scored a goal, and now they are leading by two goals just like Arsenal.

Wenger smiled, and he knew that Sunderland would not be able to cause trouble for the Forest team.Even if they can burst out [-]% energy in order to avoid relegation and survive, but there is still a gap of [-]% from Nottingham Forest, what's the use?
Therefore, his team had a one-point advantage before the game, which was enough for him.The rest is very simple. As long as Arsenal play their own game well, make sure not to make mistakes, and not be tied by Manchester City, they can win the championship.Rice was very concerned about Nottingham Forest, but he didn't care much about Tony Twain's situation.

Jack Reid, who came up from Manchester City in the second half, has little experience. Apart from being able to run, he can hardly cause any trouble to Arsenal.Wenger didn't even bother to arrange someone to mark him specifically.But that Bendtner... is still a problematic character.

Half of Arsenal's defense was guarding him, and he was as active as he was in the first half, which is simply an anomaly for Manchester City.

What is he after?

※ ※ ※

"There is still no news from Arsenal. Arsenal slowed down their offensive rhythm and started to control the ball on purpose. Their people have already started to celebrate the victory in advance. Manchester City still has no chance..."

Chris Lak moved closer to Tang En's ear and said to him.

Tang En was silent for a while, and shouted the names of the players loudly on the sidelines, telling them to continue attacking.

I can only use Sunderland to vent my anger...

Ten minutes later, Nottingham Forest scored their third goal.The goal is Pepe.

This time it's a corner kick.After Bell drove out, Pepe went forward to grab the point, flicked the header, and the football flew into the goal against the goal post.

Leading by three goals, Sunderland has completely lost their fighting spirit. The lofty ambitions they accumulated during the halftime break have long since been wiped out by the two goals in the second half.Then it was time for the Nottingham Forest show.

※ ※ ※

When news of Nottingham Forest's 3-0 lead reached Portsmouth's Fratton Park, there was thunderous cheers.Portsmouth fans know their team is guaranteed to stay in the Premier League, and Sunderland will replace them in the Championship.Everyone is grateful for Nottingham Forest's "benevolent act" and wishes them to win the league championship as they wish.

Tottenham fans also don't want to see their rivals in the same city win the league championship trophy. Since the result of this game is irrelevant, there is little need to continue to be hostile to each other in the stands.So Tottenham fans cheered with Portsmouth, congratulated them on their successful relegation, and cursed Arsenal for losing the league title.

The fans of the two teams just hugged and cheered to celebrate the two brothers.

“全场比赛No.607分钟。诺丁汉森林3：0领先桑德兰。而阿森纳还是2：0领先曼城。距离比赛结束还有23分钟。我之前说过阿森纳夺冠的概率是99%，现在我得修正一下，这个概率成了99.5%。”负责解说阿森纳和曼城比赛的解说员说道。

"The fourth goal is here... The goal is scored! Nottingham Forest leads Sunderland 4-0... Poor Sunderland." The voice of the commentator responsible for explaining the game between Nottingham Forest and Sunderland sounded horrible He was not excited enough, and he also felt that it was useless for Nottingham Forest to advance more.Even in his heart, Twain's team has lost their minds, just to vent their anger, so they completely disregarded Sunderland's thoughts, not only wanting them to be relegated, but also completely humiliating them, to eliminate the anger of not being able to win the championship Take it out on poor Black Cat (Sunderland's nickname).

Forest fans are not cheering much for the team's goal now, and everyone's mind has left the game and flew to London.If Manchester City can't live up to it, then no matter how many goals the Forest team scores, it will be useless.

Fat John stood watching the game, his ass off the seat from the start of the game, surrounded by his mates.Everyone is in the same mood, worried about the future of the Forest team.

Some people even thought of the personal grievances between Manchester City and the Forest team.

"I heard that Ashley Young didn't start, and there was only one former Forest player, Bendtner, on the field...Would that kid be intentional?"

"Manchester City doesn't have a good relationship with us, who can say for sure, this kind of thing..."

"Is it because we were too arrogant before, making enemies everywhere..."

"Bullshit!" Straight-talking skinny Bill glared at the person who said this, "The winner is naturally entitled to be arrogant. They hate us, it can only be their problem, what has it to do with us? Damn it!" He was still fighting for the forest The team felt worried, frowned and ignored the poor guy.

"Actually..." Fatty spoke, his tone was low and his mood was depressed. "We should do something to cheer for the team, but now I'm not in the mood to sing at all..."

"Sing, John! Let's do what we have to do! Don't let those bastards see us laugh!" Bill was angry again, and he clenched his fists to John. "Even if Forest doesn't win this season's championship, we still have to go out with our heads held high! Let's sing!"

John glanced at his partner and nodded vigorously: "Sing!"

Immediately afterwards, the singing of cheering for Nottingham Forest sounded in the stands.Their singing awakened many half-hearted fans and brought their attention back to the game. More and more people echoed their singing, and their voices became louder and clearer.

"The last minute of the game, do you think it's over?"

"There's not much time left, the umpire is looking at his watch and you're saying: 'Forget it, we've got another season'—"

"The cheering singing gradually died down, and some people started to leave the venue early. A pile of drunk wine glasses were thrown from the stands, and the place was in a mess!"

"No.11 of the forest team stood up and said: 'No! The game is not over yet! Don't be too happy!'"

"You-you-don't-happy-too-early!!!"

"Don't be happy too early, don't be happy too early!"

Forest in the stands seemed to be yelling at Arsenal to the fans.

※ ※ ※

The fans of Nottingham Forest let out hysterical and desperate roars, while the singing of "We are the champions" sounded from the stands of the Emirates Stadium.

"...we are the champions, friends! We are the kings of the world! We are victorious because we are the champions!!"

Of course, there are also Arsenal fans who put up banners to ridicule Nottingham Forest for not trying in vain.

Bendtner couldn't see their banners and didn't care, but the singing of "We Are the Champions" really stimulated him.

I worked so hard but became the best foil at the celebration banquet for winning the championship.After running for seven and ten minutes, I looked like a clown.

Why am I working so hard?

Look around, look at your teammates, they are just putting on a show, and they don't have to suffer anything.In this heat, I was running to the point of cramp, and their jerseys weren't even soaked!
Bendtner felt unreconciled. What kind of teammate was he playing with?
And why does he want to play football with these people...

Bendtner clenched his fists as the Arsenal defenders threw crosses in front of him.

Sweat dripped from his forehead and dripped down his cheeks, and he felt that his heart was hotter than this weather.

If you want to play, go and play!I don't play anymore!

An Arsenal attack was ended.Joe Hart kicked the football forward, and Bendtner fought hard to get the first spot. He threw the football to Jack Reed next to him, the boy who only played in the second half.

This kid can run very fast, with good physical fitness.But the technology and awareness are too poor, and I don’t know if I have a future in the future even at the age of 20.After he received the ball, he still wanted to rush and take a shot by himself-Manchester City had several offensive opportunities before and was squandered by him in this way-he wanted to prove himself in front of McLaren, maybe he and Bendtner It is the only player left in the Manchester City team in this game who still has the desire to play.

But he heard Bendtner yelling: "Give me the ball!!"

For Reid, Bendtner is a veteran of the team, and he is also one of the most stable shooters in the team. His status and authority are far from being challenged by a rookie.

So Bendtner suddenly yelled, and he passed the football obediently.

But he passed the ball and continued to run forward, intending to have a two-on-one with Bendtner. He didn't dare to shout like Bendtner: "Pass the ball back!" He just ran forward, hoping that Bendtner could See his intentions.

Regardless of whether Bendtner saw his intention, anyway, Arsenal's defenders saw it—the intention of passing and running was too obvious, and only fools would be fooled.

As a result, Arsenal's defenders retreated collectively with Reed, and a blank area was suddenly drawn between Bendtner and Arsenal's defense. What's more terrible... Bendtner was completely unmarked.

Chances like this don't come often, especially against Arsenal.Perhaps Arsenal collectively relaxed after a two-goal lead, thinking that victory was at their fingertips, and that Manchester City would never pose any threat to them.That's why there's this defensive vacuum.Bendtner didn't even have a chance to think about how this happened, he just moved the ball forward on the spot, swung his legs after the run-up...

32 meters from the goal...

An earth-shattering long shot!

Almunia scrambled into the air, stretched his arms as far as he could, stretched his body as far as he could, but he didn't touch the ball.No one in the penalty area touched the ball either.

The silver ball skids across the turf of the Emirates Stadium and through the crowd.Shot through Almunia's fingers!

The football hit the net hard and made a "swish" sound.

"Ahhhhh! The goal is in! The goal is in!!" The announcer who explained the game jumped up from his seat, raised his arms and shouted excitedly.

Those Arsenal fans watching TV were a little upset when they heard his distorted excited voice-why didn't you see you so excited when our team scored a goal?

"Nichlas Bendtner! Niklas Bendtner!! Great goal! He scared everyone! Including his teammates!"

After scoring the goal, Bendtner ran to the stands where the Arsenal fans were most concentrated, with his left hand behind his right index finger in front of his lips, pursed his mouth, and made a "shut up" gesture.

His teammates were all stunned in place, they didn't expect the goal to come so suddenly, and no one even ran up to hug Bendtner to celebrate the goal.They didn't realize until the overwhelming boos from the Arsenal fans rang out, they swarmed up, hugged Bendtner tightly, patted his head hard, and congratulated him on his goal.

Although Manchester City has no desire for this game, it does not mean that they want to play match-fixing.If your teammates score a goal, you are still very happy.

Facing those teammates who came up to congratulate him, Bendtner gritted his teeth and wanted to break away from them, and continued to do his own celebration.But everyone is hugging too tightly...

※ ※ ※

"Tony!" Chris Lack, who was listening to the radio, suddenly called out.

But Tang En waved his hand at him, making a "silence" gesture, because at the same time, there were already huge cheers in the stands.You must know that Sunderland is in possession of the ball at this time...

"I already know, David."

Tang En turned his head and smiled at him.

David Chrislake clenched his fists excitedly, almost jumping up: "Bendtner! That kid Bendtner scored the goal!"

The name of the scorer surprised Dunn a little.

The cheers continued, and the announcer's voice came from the live broadcast of the stadium: "Minute No. 703, Arsenal 2:1 Manchester City, goal scorer...Niklas Bendtner!"

"Long live—!!" the Forest fans chanted in unison, completely forgetting their hatred of the traitor when he left.

At this moment, they worshiped Bendtner as the Danish kid who was still wearing red.At that time, Bendtner was considered to be Nottingham Forest's main center for the next ten years...

※ ※ ※

Wenger was furious about the conceded goal. He sat on a chair and kept waving his hands to his assistant coach Pat Rice and complained: "What are our defenders doing? What are our midfielders doing? They think they won. Is it settled? Five seconds before Bendtner's shot, there is no one of us ten meters away from him!"

After speaking, he got up from the coach's bench, strode aggressively to the sidelines, stretched out two fingers on his left hand, extended the index finger on his right hand, and shouted to the court: "It's 2:1 now! 2:1!"

The score made him nervous, and Bendtner's outburst after being suppressed for seven or 10 minutes also made him uneasy.

He didn't know why, after all, his team was leading now, and Manchester City had nothing to fear except Bendtner.

But his heartbeat just sped up suddenly, without warning.He is a very rational coach, but sometimes he also trusts his instincts.

The intuition is: the Danes can no longer be allowed to continue to play like this!
