Chapter 892 Volume Seven Heart of the Lion King Overtime First Half
When Real Madrid won a penalty, Shania, who was in the Bernabeu VIP box, kept her hands together and put them on her chest, bowing her head and muttering prayers to herself.Her beautiful face was a little pale, and her forehead was covered with sweat. Although her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes were still trembling slightly.

"O merciful and almighty Lord, I do not ask you to forgive my sins, nor do I ask you for wealth. I only want my husband to be in good health and always be healthy..."

She closed her eyes and kept murmuring like this.As for what happened on the court, she has long since stopped caring.She just wants her husband to finish the game safely, and whoever wants to take the championship can take it!
※ ※ ※

While Shania kept praying, Tang En was sitting on the coach's bench, lowering his head to calm down his emotions.He could feel his heart beating fast, and now he had to slow down the frequency of this heartbeat.He knew it was impossible to finish the game in nine 10 minutes.

He still has two substitutions in his hand.Now he has to be thankful that he replaced Shaheen with Kompany before and formed a three-central defender formation. Even if Pepe is sent off, there are still two central defenders, and the defense is not obviously lacking.

Real Madrid has one substitution left, and they are physically better than them.In the 10-minute extra time, is it an effort to attack and kill Real Madrid, or is it to stick to the end with Real Madrid and drag it to a penalty shootout?

Tang En didn't want to scold the referee right now, he didn't have the time - of course he had to scold, if it wasn't for the referee this shit day, now he could start thinking about how to get on stage to accept the award.But to scold after the game, no matter if he loses or wins, he will scold him.At that time, he will not give anyone face, even if Evan Dalgety came to persuade him, he would not admit it.

Dunn thought about it for a while, and decided to continue looking for opportunities to score goals in overtime, and never planned to retreat.He wants to let Real Madrid know that even if Nottingham Forest is missing one person, it is still a tough bone for them!
※ ※ ※

After the equalizer, Real Madrid's morale was high, and after the restart of the game, they launched a tidal wave of offensive towards the Forest team's goal.Due to the lack of one player, Nottingham Forest can only fully recover on the field, and even gave the 30-meter area to Real Madrid.They just want to hang around until the end of the game.

Nottingham Forest's defense is not blown out.Real Madrid's morale was high, and they didn't have any chance of lore. Five minutes of stoppage time passed in a blink of an eye, and the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game amidst boos.

The two sides only had a 5-minute break before overtime, and this time was basically gone when they walked back to the locker room.So everyone stays on the court to rest.Players from the two teams gathered in front of their respective coaches' benches, enjoying a massage and relaxing while listening to the head coach's arrangements for overtime tactics.

The Nottingham Forest players sat in a circle, and Twain squatted in the center of the circle.He looked left and right.

The players looked a little tired, but it was not so obvious because of the unfair treatment and anger.

"Seeing that you still have such expressions, I feel relieved." Tang En nodded.

He was right. If he saw a group of players with their heads down, it would be difficult to play overtime.He has to arrange another overtime strategy.Fortunately, it is no longer necessary.

"We lost one person, but it's okay, this is not a reason for us to give up the game. I believe you don't want to give up the game either?"

"No!" Someone answered loudly.

"Who the hell wants to give up the game? I want to give Real Madrid a little bit!"

"That's right. We want to show them some strength!" Dunn clenched his fist and waved it in front of the players. "There are still three and 10 minutes! I ask you to stop blindly defending, press out appropriately, and attack their defense. Try to get them in overtime!"

"We have to get some fresh troops up. Bentley, you should take a rest."

Bentley, who was called by name, was a little bit unwilling, but he couldn't refute the boss's arrangement, so he could only nod lightly.

Mork, who was warming up, was called back. This was his first time playing in the Champions League final. He was a little excited, and he was not very honest sitting on the ground.

"Moke, your job on the field is to harass the opponent's defense and cause trouble for them. After you get the ball, if there is space in front of you, just break through. If there is no space, then pass the ball. Your physical strength is stronger than their Marcelo. Well, this is an opportunity to take advantage of."

Mork nodded vigorously.

Tang En glanced at him and continued: "If Mitchell is in the penalty area, you pass the ball to him after you break through. I don't care how you pass it. In short, you have to send the football to him, whether it is on the head or under the feet. You can."

Mork continued to nod.If he stuck out his tongue again, he would be a faithful hound.

"Defensively, our full-backs have reduced the number of assists a little bit - at least in the first half. Our plan is to continue to defend and counterattack in the first half of extra time, focusing on defense. Let Real Madrid attack first. , Consume their stamina and save ours. I must defend these 15 minutes and never lose the ball. This is the key, you must remember. Next, we will start to attack in the second half. Don’t hesitate when it is time to attack Undecided, boldly invest in strength, and the full-backs must also boldly go forward. Although we practiced penalty kicks yesterday... But I don’t want to see this scene, if you can solve them within 120 minutes, then you are welcome!”

Tang En hit the palm of his hand with a fist.

"George and Fernando, you take turns to participate in the offense in overtime. Nouri has been replaced, and the task of organizing the offense can only be given to you and them."

"Okay, boss." Gago replied.

Wood just nodded.

The tactics were basically set up, Tang En paused, there was not much left in 5 minutes.

"Okay, guys. It's the last three 10 minutes, the last three 10 minutes of a season. We've been wronged a while ago, but listen to me, the best way to get back at that injustice isn't mobbing on the court The referee, but slap them with victory! When we win, we can say whatever we want. If you want to retaliate against them, then win the game first!"

"If you are tired, just grit your teeth and persevere! I don't want to see anyone get discouraged at this time. You must know that you are a whole, an indispensable whole. If any one of you gives up first, it will bring harm to your teammates. Big trouble..."

Speaking of this, Tang En suddenly remembered that Pepe was sent off because of impulsiveness. Did he count as giving up first?

Tang En looked at the players in front of him. Some of them were exhausted from running for more than 90 minutes.The Forest team has one less player than Real Madrid, and will definitely be more tired than Real Madrid in the next three to 10 minutes of the game.He's really worried about breaking down at the last minute because of the physicality of the team.

"Uh..." He scratched his messy hair, "Pepe's end was an accident..." He was worried that the players would put the blame on Pepe in their hearts. "An irreparable accident. Remember what I said before the game? Compared with Real Madrid, we are a whole. Now this whole has one less person, what should we do? It's very simple." He spread his hands, "Everyone of you who are still on the court should run a little longer than usual, do more things than usual, and accumulate every little distance and some things!" Tang En stretched out his hand as if grabbing something , and give it a firm pinch.

"We are still 11 against 11 against them!"

The blood of the big guy who said the last sentence surged up.Just now they felt that the game was difficult because of the loss of one person, and they all suddenly regained their confidence.The boss is right, as long as each of us runs a little more and does more than usual, won't it make up for the loophole that Pepe was sent off by one less person?
What is team spirit?

At this moment, they experienced it for themselves.

This is team spirit!
Tang En looked back at the corridor, where he saw Pepe's figure.Sure enough, that kid didn't go back to the locker room, but stayed on the sidelines and watched everything that happened on the court.

Although his impulsiveness caused the team to get into trouble, but he couldn't blame him, and he had to prevent the team from blaming him.The Forest team must be united, otherwise they will not be able to reach the top of Europe and achieve the great treble.

Chris Rack leaned forward: "Tony, it's time..."

Only then did Tang En stand up from the ground, "Let's play, guys. Don't forget that you are now eleven... no, it's twelve... that's not right either." Tang En thought about it, "Coach Xi Jia The fans on the bench plus those in the stands, and the Nottingham Forest fans who can't come to Madrid and can only watch the game in front of the TV, they are with you, you are far more than Real Madrid, What else is there to be afraid of, guys? They should be the ones to be afraid of!" Dunn pointed at the Real Madrid players who were also getting ready for the match.

The players laughed, they really had nothing to worry about.The psychological impact of Pepe's end has long since disappeared.

"Okay, go out and teach them a lesson!" Tang En clapped his hands and walked off the court.

He saw Pepe again, and Pepe was looking towards him.The rules do not allow him to return to the court, not even on the sidelines, and he can only be at the entrance of the corridor, just like a thief.

If Pepe had calmed down at the beginning, he would be the one doing it now.

※ ※ ※

After the start of overtime, the morale of the Real Madrid players was high and they besieged the Forest team's goal.It seems that the excitement of equalizing the score has not passed.Tang En was not in a hurry, he just watched Real Madrid besiege Forest's goal from the sidelines.

This is all in his expectation.Overtime is basically this kind of trend-you attack half court and I attack half court.

Nottingham Forest defended in the first half and had to withstand Real Madrid's offensive, no matter how ugly the scene was.

During this period of time, Real Madrid's offensive was like a wave, and once they kicked a football on the goal post of the Forest team and almost scored.

There was another time when Ronaldo broke through Rafinha and chose to shoot directly from a small angle. The football hit the side net, making the TV broadcast and the fans think the goal was scored. There was a huge cheer in the stands, and the commentator also blurted out: "The goal In!"

At that moment, Tang En could feel that his heart stopped beating.Fortunately, he soon found Ronaldo holding his head in his hands, looking very annoyed.

"Damn it..." Tang En cursed weakly. "Play a side net, why are you so excited..."

In the first half, it was very difficult for Nottingham Forest to break into Real Madrid's half.Real Madrid pressed forward across the board, and launched wave after wave of offensives towards the Forest team's goal amidst the shouts of the home fans and the voices of everyone.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands chanted collectively: "La la la! Amazing Juanito! La la la! Amazing Juanito!!"

This was supposed to be a shout that was only remembered in the 7th minute of each game, and it sounded again in the 7th minute of extra time.The Real Madrid fans apparently let go of their previous arrogance, thinking that it would be easy to handle Nottingham Forest.Now they need the help of Juanito's spirit.

Juan Juanito used to be Real Madrid's No. 80. In the 1992s when Real Madrid was relatively sluggish, Juanito's fighting spirit was the spiritual symbol of Real Madrid at that time.He always fights to the last moment and never gives up.In order to win, he dared to kick the lineman and punch Matthaus... Later, he died in a car accident in [-]. The Real Madrid Club held a grand funeral of a king for him. In the history of the Real Madrid Club, there is only a great Mr. Santiago Bernabeu, the chairman of China, has only enjoyed such funeral treatment.

At this moment, Real Madrid fans feel the danger.They knew they were facing an enemy that could not be defeated by showmanship, back-heel passes, and artistry.Premier League teams always have such a hard work that can scare opponents.

Real Madrid fans need to let Nottingham Forest know, don't think that we in Real Madrid only have artists and only play fancy foot skills, we also have blood, and we will fight!

After Gago took the ball in the midfield, his foot was a little slow, and he was immediately pulled down by Higuain from behind.

Gago, who fell to the ground, raised his hands to the referee again to signal a foul.Higuain has already ran back quickly, and the background reminds people of George Wood-he always ignores the other party's protests after fouling and turns around and runs away.

It seems that Higuain, a good baby, is also jealous.

The Spanish commentator also completely abandoned the position that the commentator should be fair and fair, and kept cheering for Real Madrid in the commentary.

"Come on Madrid! Nottingham Forest made a pass error! This is a good opportunity... Oh, it's a big stop! It's a pity to be hugged directly by Akinfeev!"

"There are still 5 minutes until the first half of extra time... Real Madrid is now besieging Nottingham Forest's goal... This is a handball! Why didn't the referee judge? This is obviously a foul!"

"George Wood brought Ribéry down, he deserved a red card! Even a yellow card and he was sent off! Nottingham Forest play such ugly football!"

"If the Forest team really won the championship, I can only say that such a championship is absolutely unconvincing. Look at their performance in these ten minutes! They all retracted to defend in the penalty area. Isn't football supposed to be like this? ? And the non-stop fouling... If you were to ask me to describe the final, all I could say was: 'Ankle kick ankle kick ankle kick ankle kick!' What else? Nope!"

"Deliberately hurting people, attacking the linesman, dirty tactical arrangements, if such a team is allowed to win the European Champions Cup, it is really an insult to the highest honor of the Champions Cup!"

These outraged Spanish commentators almost called Tang En a bastard whore.

On the other hand, the commentators in England are worried about the future of Nottingham Forest.Real Madrid's offense was too strong, and Twain blindly defended. If he couldn't defend and let the team fall behind, it would also seriously damage the team's morale.

"I always feel that the Forest team should fight back appropriately, but look at them now they can't even pass the midfield..."

"After all, this is the Bernabéu. Twain shouldn't underestimate the power of Real Madrid in this stadium. Now Real Madrid has been cornered. Listen to the shouts of the Real Madrid fans in the stands... What are they shouting? Hua Ni Toh! This is a famous tough guy in the history of Real Madrid!"

"I'm worried about Tony Twain's heart. Facing this kind of offensive, can he stand still?"

In fact, Dunn not only stood firm, but also stood firm.Although Real Madrid's offensive was fierce, Twain was keenly aware that there were not many times in their offensive that could actually threaten the goal.

Seeing that the first half time has come to the end, if Real Madrid can't score, then they will be unlucky in the second half.They consumed too much physical strength, and their momentum was gradually declining.

With a sneer on Tang En's face, he finally heard the referee's whistle.

"The first half of extra time is over, and Tony Twain's heart can finally take a break! The two sides did not rest, and went directly to the 15-minute contest in the second half. In a sense, this is the last 15 minutes to determine the championship. If both sides fail to score, then it will be a penalty shootout! Before the game, Real Madrid was considered to be stronger than Nottingham Forest. The final that should have won was dragged to 1 minutes. I admit that I am a little surprised."

"I'm still not optimistic about the Forest team. After 15 minutes, how much energy is left in the Forest team with one less player? This is a very noteworthy question. Michel obviously saw it too. The first half of overtime Every player in the Forest team is running desperately to make up for the disadvantages after Pepe left the field. Nottingham Forest has not conceded a goal so far, which is also related to the efforts of their players. But after all, people are not machines. How long can it last? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? I bet that as long as Real Madrid continue to bite the bullet and strengthen their offensive in the second half, Nottingham Forest will definitely collapse!"

The commentators have made predictions for the extra time in the second half, and no one is optimistic about Nottingham Forest, which is still exhausted with one less player.

Even George Wood, an iron man, ran to the sidelines to ask for water when the two sides changed sides.It looked like he was exhausted, his jersey looked like it had just been pulled out of the water, he was gasping for breath, and kept pouring water into his mouth.

"George." Tang En leaned forward, not very close in order not to attract attention.

Wood heard the head coach's whisper, and he turned to look at Tang En.

"Uh..." Tang En scratched his hair, "I have always had a question that has been on my mind for ten years."

Wood tilted his head and looked at Dunn suspiciously. He didn't understand what the problem was, what it had to do with himself, and what it had to do with this game.

"That...do you remember? You gave me back my wallet, and we met through that wallet. What I want to ask is the kid who bumped into me on the street the day before and stole my wallet is that you?"

The expression on Wood's face changed, the doubts disappeared, and a little vigilance appeared instead.

Tang En grinned and looked at Wood, expecting his answer.

The referee must have noticed this, Wood glanced at the referee, and planned to turn around and run on the field.But before leaving, he did not forget to answer Tang En's question: "Yes."

After speaking, he ran away.

Tang En was left behind looking at his back and laughing.The back of this running on the court overlaps with the back of the one who stole his wallet back then, and the running posture really won't change even in ten years...

If you didn't steal my wallet at the beginning, would I have missed a genius and the wonderful life of the next ten years?

The thief Robin Hood, the thief who stole the wallet... Tang En found out that what the media outside said was true—this is a team of thieves.

Well then, let us steal that trophy in front of 8 people, in front of hundreds of millions of TV viewers!

Tang En cast his sights on the gleaming silver cup with big ears at the exit of the corridor.

There was a gleam in his eyes, the gleam of greed.
