Chapter 205 Who to give to the red card (Part 1)

Although it lost a Champions League group match, this did not affect the morale of the Forest. When we returned to the league, the Forest defeated Portsmouth 2-0 at the City Stadium. In the five rounds of the league, except for the third round being postponed, the Forest team won three wins and one loss, with nine points, and was still in the No. 1 Group.

The most surprising thing this season so far is no longer the Forest team. No matter how good Tang's team performs, it cannot surprise people, because they all know that the Forest team has this strength.

However, Charlton's performance made many people unexpectedly - after five rounds of the league, Charlton won four games with one less game, ranking second in the league with 12 points, followed by Chelsea, which was ranked first.

The performance was surprising to Liverpool and Arsenal. These two traditional teams ranked eighth after the start of five rounds of the new season.

Arsenal ranked ninth with two wins and two losses in one game, with six points, while Liverpool ranked 11th with only five points in two games, with only five points.

The impact of the Champions League events on strong teams fighting on multi-line has gradually emerged, which is also a difficulty that Tang En needs to learn to cope with.

The Forest team was lucky. They just lost to Real Madrid and encountered a bottom team in the league, giving them time to breathe. Otherwise, the next intensive schedule will definitely make Forest team suffer.

The fifth round of the league on August 19th.

On August 22, in the sixth round of the league, Forests faced Everton at home. Moyes's team is in poor condition recently, and Don't mind taking the blame at this time.

Next, on August 25, in the seventh round of the league, Forest team will challenge Arsenal away. This is also the highlight of this round of the league.

Donn noticed that Anelka's attitude in recent training was very positive. At first, he found it strange, but later he saw the schedule and immediately understood.

August 25th. In the seventh round of the league, Nottingham Forest will play away against Arsenal.

Don't know what Arsenal represents in Anelka's career. But he knew that he must have left a deep impression on Anelka.

Looking at Anelka's desperate expression on the training ground, Tang En laughed in his heart: It turns out that money is not your only motivation to play football...

The English media, which is so gossipy, naturally could not give up on hype. What would happen when the Gunners returned to Highbury on the 9th? The grudges between masters and apprentices, the complex emotions of fans, and how Anelka would treat Arsenal? Who is revenge on whom?

So a reporter asked this question at the team's weekly press conference, and Don't answered: "Of course I look forward to Anelka's goal.

Which coach doesn't want his forward to score goals? Of course, I know that Arsenal has special significance for Anelka. He really hopes to score goals in this game, and I hope so too.

But...I hope you will pay attention to the opponent we are going to face soon - Everton..."

The reporters didn't listen to Don Eun. They hyped up the grudges and hatreds between Arsenal and Anelka, as if the opponent of Forests in the next round of the league was not Everton, but Arsenal.

On August 22, the Forests welcomed their sixth round of league rival Everton as scheduled at the City Stadium.

It’s no wonder that everyone ignores Everton so much.

After the start of the new season, Everton was unable to get into the form for a long time. The blow of losing the Champions League qualification at the last moment last season was a bit big for them. The large number of newly purchased players brought problems to the team's running-in, and the team was unable to form a combat-effective whole.

Moyes had no choice but to watch as the league started, Everton ranked third from the bottom with one win and three losses, falling into the relegation zone!

This bad performance made Forest fans think that this game is unsurprising. Forests will win easily and sprinkle another handful of salt on Everton's wound.

The fact is that the Forests suffered strong resistance from Everton at their home court.

Perhaps because he snatched their Champions League qualification last season, Everton was very excited when he saw the Forests. The pressing of the whole game was like crazy, and he was playing without hesitation.

This was completely beyond Tang En's expectations. He did not expect Everton's performance before was terrible, but he was so excited about the Forest team in this game.

Everton's crazy pressing made the Forest players very uncomfortable, and what was even more uncomfortable was their psychology.

The Forest players were snatched by Everton and their formation was disrupted.

Eleven minutes into the game, Everton caught the Forest player's own mistake and scored a goal ahead!

The city court became quiet, and the result made the fans unexpected: Everton, who originally thought he was a soft persimmon, suddenly showed his power! Then he led us away! This... what happened?

"Everton is not easy to mess with when Moyes tells the Forest team that doesn't take them seriously before the game! When everyone is talking about Arsenal and Anelka, Everton uses a goal to pull everyone back from his dream.

Tell them the cruel reality is that the Forests are now behind with one goal!”

The commentator was right. Everton's goal brought the Forests to the reality. After conceding the ball, the Forests players calmed down. They were not anxious or impatient, and they knew how to win the game.

In terms of strength, Everton can no longer compete with the Forests throughout the season. Moyes knows this and Don't have a huge improvement.

But he hopes to win a victory in some local battles, which can be regarded as avenging a revenge last season.

Moyes thought so, Don't let him do what he wanted.

Just before the end of the first half, Forest equalized the score, and Anelka scored the goal. The Frenchman has become the core striker of Forest, and the team's offensive tactics are all formulated around him.

Done did what he said, Anelka kept scoring goals, so he became the core of the Forest's offensive team.

Anelka also used a stable goal to repay Don En's trust.

It looks like he and the head coach are on a honeymoon period.

At the beginning of the second half, Anelka received a yellow card for a foul, which was actually an unnecessary foul.

The opponent took the ball and made a horizontal transfer in the middle circle. Anelka was so excited that he rushed up and hooked the ball. Tim Cahill, the Everton player who had already shot the ball.

The referee showed Anelka a yellow card, but no one cared about it. The forward's probability of receiving a yellow card is not high, and a yellow card will not affect his future performance.

In the second half, Moyes adjusted his tactics. He let the team's formation retreat, but the pressing remained unchanged. Forest's offense was not very smooth. Arteta often faced two Everton players alone and conceded frequently.

In this case, Anelka had to withdraw from the penalty area and take the initiative to return to the midfield to ask for the ball.

The time of the game passes by minute by minute, and the score is frozen at 1:1.

For Everton, who lost consecutive games, it is not unacceptable to tie the Forests away, but for the ambitious Tang En, it is not a good thing to tie the team at his home court by Everton, who is in bad condition at his home court.

He put the team forward and increased the attack strength.

Anelka became more and more active, his dribbling and speed were a big concern for Everton.

Time is approaching the end of the game, and the singing in the stands of the city stadium did not stop and was still cheering the team. The Forest team did not give up on the offense at all, but Everton stopped attacking at all and retreated.

They made up their minds to keep this point.

Anelka won't let them do what they want. When he thinks that the next game is against Arsenal, he is filled with endless motivation.

A goal cannot satisfy him. He wants to score more goals in this game, demonstrate to Arsenal, Wenger, and Arsenal vice chairman Dane in advance. More and more goals are announced:

I, Nicholas; Anelka, are back! Back to Highbury! This time... I am here to score your goals, scoring a lot of goals!

"Anelka is now getting the ball, he suddenly started and shook past Carsley! It's right in front of the goal!"

There was a huge cheer in the stands, and the fans knew that Anelka was about to drive the ball again, which was one of the things that Forest fans were most looking forward to.

Nigerian central defender Joseph_yobo did not dare to make a rash shot, so he could only follow Anelka's forward pace and try to block Anelka's shooting angle, and then leave it to other teammates to come up to form a siege.

Anelka saw Yabo's thoughts. Of course, he would not be so stupid that he forced himself into the encirclement. So he suddenly activated again, intending to rely on speed to seize Yabo. Liang Yaboye did not dare to make any move, because now they have entered the penalty area.

Just as he was wiping past Yabo like the wind, the Nigerians made a move...

Anelka saw the football rolling over, but something was tripped under his feet. He staggered and rolled to the ground.

"Penal!!" More than 20,000 Forest fans in the stands let out a deafening roar.

Tang En jumped out of his seat with his fists clenched.
