Chapter 890 The Dramatic Scene at the Heart of the Seven Lion Kings

This conceded goal is not necessarily a bad thing for Real Madrid.At least they lost it early enough, and there are still 10 minutes to get it back.

In addition, the head coach Michel also discovered a problem - Diarra's excessive dribbling in the midfield has indeed threatened the safety of the goal.

For this reason, while the Forest team was still celebrating their goal, he called Diarra off the field.

"Lass, you hold the ball too much and hold it for too long. This conceded goal comes from your holding the ball too much in the midfield." Michel stared at Diarra seriously.

Diarra knew it was because of herself, "I see, coach. Should I take the ball less?"

Michel shook his head: "No. How do you connect the front and back courts when you get the ball less often? I mean you should let the football stay under your feet for less time..." Speaking of which, Michelle wants to give Diarra a lift. An example, he thought about it, and it turned out to be the opponent's player——George Wood.He opened his mouth, but the name still didn't come out.

"In short, their midfield defense is very tight. If you can make the football stay under your feet for a short time, you can tear apart their defense and reduce the possibility of you being intercepted."

Diarra nodded while listening: "Okay, I understand, coach."

"Don't take this conceded goal to heart, we still have 10 minutes." After criticizing Diarra, Michelle gave him some comfort. "If Gago becomes the core of the opponent's organization, you should give him some care."

After Diarra understood, he ran back to the court again.

Michel slapped the Real Madrid players on the sidelines to cheer them up and not to be overwhelmed by the ball.

Florentino finally remembered to go back to his place, and Evan Dalgety got up to make way for him, smiling.He didn't reach out to the Spanish football predator and say something provocative.In the end, reason defeated impulse, and he buried those gunpowder-flavored words in his heart.

Florentino didn't seem to see Evan Dalgety, but the calm smile disappeared from his face, and he hurried past with his head down. He didn't seem to have recovered from the shock of losing the ball so quickly Come.

Evan sat down with him at the same time, packed up their moods, and continued to watch the game.

Nottingham Forest took the lead again and took advantage of the field. For a while, they even bombarded Real Madrid's goal. Unfortunately, Casillas was in good form and made three consecutive saves to finally keep the goal. .

He was a little dissatisfied with the team's defense, and after getting up from the ground, he yelled the names of the defenders.

"Don't let them shoot so easily! Not even a long shot!"

"Be careful with Gago's rear plug!"

"Two sides and ribs!"

Under his command, Real Madrid's defense finally stabilized.

Nottingham Forest also began to shrink in a planned way after several unsuccessful attempts to attack, to save energy.

The two sides on the field fell into a stalemate again.There were not many opportunities for the two teams to really threaten the goal, and they fell into a hard battle in midfield.

Diarra obediently gave up his favorite way of playing football. After he got the ball in the midfield, he would pass the football quickly and never let the ball stay at his feet for a second.Now the Forest team's defense is not easy to do. Gago always misses the air several times. Not only that, Diarra also uses the space after his attack to send the football frequently, causing trouble for Nottingham Forest's defense.

Dunn, like the players on the field, noticed this change.He glanced at Michelle.

The head coach of Real Madrid is definitely not an ordinary person.He saw this problem, there's no reason the other party couldn't see it... and Michelle fixed it quickly.It seems that it is not easy to use Diarra to open the door of Real Madrid.

He can only make Gago temporarily give up the practice of rushing to press Diarra, and retreat again to a stalemate with the opponent.

If Diarra had passed the ball earlier, the Forest players would not have troubled him.As long as he hesitated for the first time and didn't pass the ball, Gago would post it immediately.

On the other side, Ribery was closely guarded by George Wood.Ronaldo and Higuain were also left idle on the wing. Real Madrid's "kicking the ankle" tactic caused frequent boos from the stands. They also paid the price of three yellow cards, but the effect was very good.Real Madrid is obviously not adapted to such a game, their offense is completely unable to organize.Huntelaar and Benzema had to retreat to the midfield to get the ball. They were too far away from the goal, and the threat to the goal was much smaller.

※ ※ ※

Time passed minute by minute, until the last 10 minutes of the second half, neither side scored again.

Nottingham Forest is not in a hurry. Although it is not safe to lead by one goal, this is the final after all, so it is better to be safe.Tang En's team chose a tactic of solid defense, disrupting the opponent's attack in the midfield, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Real Madrid got a little impatient.After all, this is their home court, and now they are one goal behind... 15 minutes left in the game, if they can't score a goal, they will lose the Champions League at the Bernabeu.

This is something that must never happen.

Michelle began to adjust, he made a very bold change, this change even exceeded Tang En's expectations - he didn't change the players, he just changed the positions of the players on the field.He put Marcelo in midfield, Higuain up front, Ronaldo back on his favorite right, and Ramos shrunk into the middle to play centre-back.

This time, Real Madrid's formation changed from 442 to 343, an absolutely aggressive formation.

Seeing this change, Tang En was stunned for a moment, then laughed.It really deserves to be the head coach Michelle Gonzalez who insists on offensive football and was born in Real Madrid.This kind of desperate play really doesn't consider the back road at all...

Tang En thought for a while, and decided to avoid the edge, let the team temporarily retreat and shrink the defense, and then slowly consume Real Madrid's physical energy, and wait until the last moment...a fatal blow!
He whistled and gestured to deliver the news to the players.

The changes in the situation on the field can be clearly seen.Real Madrid's offensive has strengthened, while the forest team's counterattack has decreased a lot. The Real Madrid fans who had been quiet just now became excited again at this time. They chanted slogans loudly and cheered for Real Madrid.

In fact, football matches are very strange. The head coaches of the two sides have made many detailed and careful arrangements, but the game may not follow the route they planned, because there are always accidents of one kind or another that make the game turn to an unknown place.

For example, after Michelle made a go-a-go arrangement, the team's offense only improved for a while, and then withered again.Nottingham Forest's defense has been honed over a decade and the addition of a striker shouldn't scare them.

Another 5 minutes passed, and Real Madrid still had no hope of scoring.There were sporadic boos again from the stands.Hearing this voice, Tang En grinned.Are impatient Real Madrid fans waving white handkerchiefs again?Very good, very good, continue to put pressure on the Real Madrid players!

※ ※ ※

Franck Ribery was kicked to the ground again. He rolled over in pain on the ground, causing the fouled Rafinha to get a yellow card. This was Nottingham Forest's fifth yellow card in the game.In contrast to Real Madrid, there is not a single yellow card, as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Pepe was very dissatisfied with Ribery's pain. He rushed forward and bent down to question Ribery.In his opinion, the Frenchman must be diving!

But he was held back by Woodgate next to him.Fortunately, Woodgate is quick, otherwise Pepe's aggressive posture may cause him some trouble-Real Madrid players must be happy to take this opportunity to have some physical conflict with him, and then pay a yellow card with their own side As a price, in exchange for Pepe to get his second yellow card of the game.

Pepe has been in high spirits since he was in the tunnel, and everyone is paying attention to him.

"Asshole! You flopped!" Pepe was dragged by Woodgate, and still yelled at Ribery relentlessly.

Ribery got up from the ground without arguing for himself, just walked forward with his head down.The footsteps seem to be a little limping.But I don't know if it was a fake or really kicked.

This is just a small episode. In the tense and intense finals, it is quite normal for players from both sides to get dizzy and have conflicts.The game continues.

The free kick that Ribery won for Real Madrid brought a little threat to the goal guarded by Akinfeev.Ronaldo passed the football to the front of the goal, with an in-spin ball, and it hit the back corner of the goal. As long as someone touches the football towards the goal during this process... Maybe it will be scored!

Unfortunately, no one touched the ball. The players from both sides were entangled in the penalty area like a mess. The football flew directly between them and the goalkeeper Akinfeev and went out of the baseline.

The football flew out, but things never ended.Just as the football flew past the goal, Real Madrid players fell to the ground in the crowd.Immediately, there was a roar of "penalty kick" in the stands.

But the referee didn't say anything, but it was Cristiano Ronaldo who fell to the ground, which attracted Bell's glaring gaze. He held the head of Ronaldo who was standing up, with his mouth pouted, his eyes wide open, and his two nostrils were wheezing. Hot air blows out.

This time the person who pulled Bell was Akinfeev, and Real Madrid players on the other side also stepped in to separate the two.

"This is a penalty!" Benzema protested to the referee while pushing Bell away.

"Damn your ball!" It was Rafinha who cursed back.He received a yellow card just now, and he is in a bad mood.

Seeing that the two sides were about to have a direct conflict, the players of the two teams who were still sober-minded rushed forward to completely separate them.

Since there was no direct physical conflict, the referee did not draw the cards, but only called Rafinha and Benzema, as well as Ronaldo and Bell, and gave a few verbal warnings.Originally, he wanted everyone to shake hands as a gesture of friendship, but as soon as he finished his nagging, the four of them turned around and walked away without even bothering to glance at him.

He shook his head behind. The final was indeed different from the normal competition. The atmosphere between the two sides had reached the point where swords were on the verge of breaking out.As long as you don't do anything too outrageous... forget it.

The referee froze on the spot in an admonishing posture, his face turned green and pale, and his face was in a mess—but he had to pinch his nose, the atmosphere on the field was tense, and it was a white-hot state, as long as he didn't really do it Come on, just bear with it...

Tang En saw this scene from the sidelines, but there was a smile on his face: "Keep spraying, keep spraying!"It is best to spray for 10 minutes, directly into stoppage time!

Of course, Michelle knew what Tang En was thinking with a smile on his face. He rushed to the sidelines and ignored the demeanor of the rich coach, and shouted to the inside: "Go back and continue the game! Go back and continue the game! We are still behind!"

When he shouted like this, the Real Madrid players were awakened. He quickly dropped the referee and ran back to his position unwillingly.

Seeing this scene, Tang En whistled.Sure enough, the opponent is not wood, not so stupid.

※ ※ ※

The game restarted, and there was no shortage of boos from the stands.Real Madrid fans think the referee is unfair, and so do Real Madrid players.In the ensuing game, the anger of both sides came up with this penalty.Nottingham Forest kicked the ankle for nearly 45 minutes and finally pissed off Real Madrid's players.

In response, their movements are also getting louder, and the number of shoving and shoving by players on both sides is increasing.

The referee had to show Real Madrid a yellow card to help him stabilize the emotions of the players on the field.You know this is Real Madrid's first yellow card in this game.Tang En applauded outside the court, but the taste of irony in the applause was obvious. For this reason, he was "favored" by the fourth official, who came to greet him with concern: "Pay attention to your behavior, Mr. Tony Tang En! "

At 87 minutes into the game, the score was still 2:1, with Nottingham Forest leading.

The players on the Forest team's bench could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts. They stood shoulder to shoulder on the sidelines, waiting for the whistle to end the game, and rushed to the stadium to celebrate the birth of the Triple Crown.

Even the coaches around Tang En left their seats excitedly and stood on the sidelines with the players.

Tang En himself was also a little excited, and he tried his best to suppress that excitement.He can't let the players on the field get too carried away. You must know that the game is not over yet, and there are still a few minutes in stoppage time. If it is 5 minutes, it is still very dangerous.

At this time, Tang En could no longer care about letting the team continue to attack and try to score another goal.This time is too dangerous, it is better to hold on.Just at the 10th and [-]th minute, he replaced Shaheen, played by Kompany, formed a defensive formation of three central defenders, and conveyed his thoughts to the players clearly and unmistakably.

Next, Gago's assists were not as frequent as before. More often, Gago and Wood were doing blue-collar work in the midfield-constantly running and intercepting, sparing no effort to sabotage the opponent's offense.

The boos in the stands are getting louder and louder, it is no longer clear whether they are targeting Real Madrid, Nottingham Forest, or the referee...

The two people sitting on the rostrum did not hide their inner thoughts at this moment, and the expressions on their faces faithfully reflected it.Florentino had a dignified face, while Evan Dalgety smiled clearly.It looks like he will have the last laugh, the arrogant Spanish football predator will finally bow his head and admit defeat!
Deep down in his heart, he applauded Tony Twain. On the surface, he tried not to make his smile too wanton and wild.This is really hard work...

※ ※ ※

Michelle stood on the sidelines, as if there was nothing he could do. In the last 10 minutes, he had replaced two people in a row. He replaced Diarra with De La Reid. Replaced David Luiz, the central defender.

The two Dun Ens who had switched roles couldn't help grinning.This man is crazy.

It's a completely desperate way of playing, and the meaning is obvious-if you can't kill me in the last few minutes, then I will kill you!

Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. At this time, Real Madrid, who has always been gentle, personable, and known as a model of aristocratic temperament, has turned into barefoot mud legs...

Faced with such a menacing Real Madrid, Tang En was not sure that he would be able to retreat unscathed from the attack, so he could only choose to retreat and defend and then retreat.The scene was a bit ugly, but it was safe anyway.If Nottingham Forest is determined to defend to the death, half of the teams in the world that can break through their gate can be counted.

Just watch these few minutes, watch these few minutes...

Tang En repeated it in the depths of his heart.Before he knew it, his fists were clenched tightly, and they were all covered with sweat.

※ ※ ※

Real Madrid's madman-like desperate style of play did scare some Forest players.Three forwards, five attacking midfielders, and two defenders started a half-court offensive and defensive practice around Nottingham Forest's half.

This is no longer the time when kicking the ankle can solve the problem. Real Madrid's offense has formed a layered and deep situation. No matter how the Forest team ends, the football will eventually fall to their feet, so another wave of offensive hits.

Nottingham Forest, which was majestic before, is now shrunk in its shell like a tortoise, letting the wind from east to west, north and south.

The smile on Evan Dalgety's face on the rostrum is also gradually diminishing, and Florentino next to him is like a real fan, watching the field nervously, not paying attention to the faces of the people around him Expression changes.

The fourth official was standing on the sidelines, fiddling with the electronic cards in his hand.Looks like stoppage time is due.

Tang En glanced at the fourth official. He had never felt that the fourth official was so cute like today.As long as you see him playing, you know that the game is not far away from 10 minutes.

Hold on, hold on to one more stoppage time!I persisted for nine or ten minutes, how could I still have a few minutes left...

He hadn't finished talking about cheering himself and the team in his heart when Ribery, who was holding the ball outside the penalty area, suddenly made a forced breakthrough against George Wood!
Wood was taken aback by him.Ribery's foot had been limping a little before, as if it was really injured.Wood was a little slack because of this, but he didn't expect this kid to be faking it!

Shocked, Ribery has already thrown him off and rushed into the penalty area.

Pepe rushed up immediately, and if she shouted again: "The enemy will stop running! Your grandpa Zhang is here!" It would be even more imposing.

He came a little slower, and Ribery was about to rush over, so it was at this moment.Pepe reached out and gave Ribery a slight push on the shoulder...

I saw that Ribery, who was still moving like a rabbit just now, suddenly slammed garlic under his feet, diving down to the ground like a fish bomber.

Then he landed firmly on all fours in the penalty area.

Everyone was stunned by this mutation.

Including Tony Twain standing on the sidelines.

"Penalty!!" This time, not only the Real Madrid fans in the stands shouted, but even the commentator kept shouting.

Look at the referee again, he is running towards the penalty area, and at the same time pointing to the penalty spot - that is the gesture for awarding a penalty kick.

Evan Daugherty on the rostrum looked as if he had just eaten a plate of caterpillars, as exciting as it could be...
