Chapter 264: Reincarnation

What is the common method of Nottingham Forest?

Ask ten people, one hundred people, and one thousand people will only get one answer.

The ugly scene, ugly defense and one or two lucky counterattacks, the game ended and the Forest team won.

Except for Ribery's assault on the wing, the Forests' game was not very good.

Most neutral fans will stand on Barcelona. They want to see teams representing artistic football and bring them pleasure to victory. They hope to use Barcelona's victory to prove that there is still a place for beautiful football to survive in modern football, or that beautiful football has hope of restoration.

Originally, Don En planned to have a match against Barcelona here, because Wood could not play, and if the Forest continues to be conservative, he may not win, and he will be called ugly. There is still a glimmer of hope for the offense.

But after experiencing the hype of the media's "art football duel utilitarian football", he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to use the defense that Forests is best at fighting Barcelona.

Today's heavy rain strengthened this belief that the venue is not suitable for playing technology, and the forest team, which has the advantage in terms of physical fitness, does not need to play with their shortcomings and avoid strengths.

Although the team's defense will be affected by the loss of Wood, the Forest team's ability to reach this point is not entirely due to Wood's performance. Pepe and Pique have shown their respective talents and strengths, as well as the diligent and honest Leiden; Barnes, Zimbonda, and world-class goalkeeper Van der Sar, such a lineup is not weak anywhere.

Of course, this does not mean that Don En will put the team completely on the defensive during the game. He knew that if he just defended, he would definitely not get the result he wanted.

A truly high-level defense is based on offense, just like an offense needs to be based on solid defense. A stable defense needs to be based on offense to share pressure. Retain the opponent's strength.

So from the beginning of the game, it was surprising that Nottingham Forest, who was good at defense, launched a fierce offensive against Barcelona, ​​changing their conservative image in the past.

Barcelona obviously did not expect the Forest team to take the initiative to attack, and they were at a loss after the game. In addition, the field was slippery, and everything made them very uncomfortable.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​which has delicate technology, the Forest team is more adaptable to fighting in such weather. Because their offensive methods are very simple and fast.

Without complex middle penetration and dazzling transmission and cutting, personal dribbling and two or three-foot transfers can send the football to a dangerous area. Then there is a shot.

With Viduka here, the Forest team can pass more balls in the air, use Viduka's height and header to ferry, or directly attack the goal. This way of playing minimizes the impact of bad venues.

If Barcelona have any weaknesses, then defending high-altitude balls is just that. Perhaps their feet are so good, so they are a little disdainful of putting in any effort on high-altitude balls.

But in this game, their opponent was Nottingham Forest, which was the English team.

"Ashley; Yang! His speed is so fast!" Ashley on the right; Yang dribbled the ball at high speed.

The slippery field seemed to have no effect on him. When facing Dutch defender Van Bronkhorst, he suddenly waded the ball for more than ten meters and then started to accelerate. It was too late for Van Bronkhorst to turn around.

His speed could not keep up with the wing assaulter who ranked fifth in the Premier League speed. He ran 100 meters in 10 seconds. After the Dutch turned around, he could only see a back.

After breaking through Van Bronkhorst, Ashley; Young did not cut inward. Instead, he directly made a cross and made a high ball!

This is what Don En specifically ordered to let the players play more high balls on the court and crush Barcelona with their aerial advantage.

Viduca jumped high in the crowd and headed the ball before Puyol and Max!

"Valdes! Beautiful save!"

Spain's No. 2 national goalkeeper Viduca's header hit the crossbar, which shocked the Barcelona fans in a cold sweat.

"At the beginning of the game, Forest did not choose to defend. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity to kick off and launched a wave of offensive against Barcelona. This time they almost took the lead!"

After the corner kick was taken, Pepe and Pique rushed in. There was another chaos in front of Barcelona's goal. Puyol finally drove the ball out to end the chaos.

"Barcelona's header defense is really a mess... It seems that Coach Donn has found a way to deal with Barcelona."

The TV broadcast gave Tang En a close-up. He was sitting on the coach's seat. The short shed could not cover the rain falling from the sky. His pants were completely wet. His top was half wet. At this moment, he was staring at the stadium without turning his eyes.

Completely entered the state.

Next door to him, Rijkaard stood up from his seat. He was a little worried about the series of dangers in front of the goal just now, frowned and whistled twice, asking the players to pay attention to the wing defense.

Rijkald's reminder was not effective. Five minutes passed, and Barcelona, ​​who is famous for their offense, did not even have a decent shot. They were completely suppressed by the forest's aggressive offensive and poor field and could not perform at their original level.

Don Endi's idea is very simple. Taking advantage of this period of time, Barcelona is not adaptable and seize the opportunity to score a goal - of course it is better to score more earths - transform the advantage into victory, let his team gain the upper hand psychologically, and lead Barcelona into the quagmire of impatient and errors step by step.

This is a pre-match plan and everyone knows it.

If the competition can be carried out according to the plan, it will be much easier.

Tang En is not a coach who likes to plan all problems with plans, and he doesn't think his opponent will obediently listen to his own arrangements. So he pays more attention to temporary adjustments in the game.

Ashley; Young performed well on the right, Frank; Ribery was not to be outdone. He chose to cut inward against Oleg on the left, then dribbled horizontally, and suddenly shot after shaking the angle! Valdes focused on his attention and flew to block the ball, and another corner kick!

Nottingham Forest fans, who were not in the stands, burst into cheers, and under the bombardment of the Forest team, Barcelona fans were a little silent.

The corner kick was taken, and when Barcelona's defenders focused on Pepe and Pique in the penalty area, the Forest made a change.

Albertini did not directly drive the football into the penalty area, but passed it to Arteta who came up to pick him up, a tactical corner kick!

Seeing Arteta catch the ball, Barcelona defender collectively pressed out and wanted to make an offside, at this moment. Spain made a cross. It was not a high ball, but a half-high ball.

Everyone was running out, including Forest players who were afraid of offside.

Anelka suddenly turned around and fucked in half of the run. Arteta's pass just arrived! The French forward raised his foot and moved the ball forward and touched Barcelona's defender Max!

The commentator shouted, and the fans at the scene also shouted loudly.

"Anelka's chance! Single shot!"

Valdes fought bravely and fell to the ground and made a save at a very close distance. After Anelka wiped Max, there was already very little room for him to do the action, so he could only choose to eject the foot bow.

The football hit Valdes' thigh and went out of the bottom line.

Sighs sounded at the same time.

"What a pity! This is the best opportunity for Forest so far! Barcelona was overwhelmed with breathlessness!"

Anelka held his head with both hands and felt very sorry for not kicking the ball in.

As regretful as him, Donn also stood up from the coach's seat when he saw Anelka break through Max. He was about to raise his hand to celebrate the goal.

Unexpectedly, Valdes was as magical as taking medicine today, saving several must-have goals for the Forest team in a row, and this time was no exception, blocking Anelka's shot.

"It's so fucking hell. He really should have a urine test after the game!" Tang En sat down and vented his displeasure.

Chris Lack shook his head next to him: "Don't worry, Tony, we're in good momentum."

"I don't believe anything before I scored a goal." Tang En stared at the stadium and gritted his teeth.

"We need an attack!" As Barcelona's captain, Catalan Puyol is boosting morale, "We can't let them continue to fight like this. Ronaldinho!"

The Brazilian looked grim: "I know."

"Think of some way. Press them back!"

Ronaldinho looked up at the time on the big screen. The game had been going on for fourteen minutes. Barcelona did not have any decent offensive yet. As the core of the team's offensive, he certainly had the obligation and responsibility to change this embarrassing situation.

Soon, after he passed Arteta with his personal skills in the midfield, he planned the first effective offensive after Barcelona's opening.

While the Forests' defenders were all focusing on Etoo, Ronaldinho passed the football to Juli on the wing.

Jiuli broke through Leiden by speed; Barnes then directly shot from a small angle!

Van der Sar was also focused and blocked the shooting angle. After cushioning the heavy shot with both hands for a while. He hugged him steadily.

"This is Barcelona's first shot since the opening game. In the fifteenth minute of the game... it's so pitiful. The strong Barcelona seemed a little uncomfortable in front of the crazy Nottingham Forest."

"There are also unacceptable to the venue and the weather. It can be seen that the venue is very slippery. Jiuli's soles were a little slippery before shooting.

In fact, players on both sides suddenly slipped, but for Barcelona, ​​which pays more attention to technology and ground coordination, it has a greater impact. Nottingham Forest insists on the tactic of lifting and playing high, minimizing the impact of the field on their land.

”

The commentator's analysis was very correct, but this did not help Barcelona change the embarrassing situation on the field.

They are not good at British football tactics of holding high and playing high. Ground ball control is their tradition and has been integrated into the blood. It is impossible to change it for a while.

"I suddenly thought that before the game, some media thought that this game was a utilitarian football matchup represented by Barcelona and a utilitarian football matchup represented by Nottingham Forest.

But after watching the game for fifteen minutes, I could not associate this team that was pressing against Barcelona with 'utilitarianism'.

The commentator laughed.

As outsiders, they smiled with great ease.

As both sides on the field, they cannot be relaxed at all. This is the first time that Don't have a team to fight with Barcelona. Their previous knowledge of this team probably comes from Pique, a teammate who came out of the Barcelona youth training camp.

Just when the Forest players felt that Barcelona was just like this, Jiuli used a sharp breakthrough and shot to warn them - Barcelona is not an ordinary person.

George; Wood was sitting in the box, watching the game with his mother and the club chairman. So far, his absent influence is still unaware of it.

What Tang En said before the game really makes sense. Forest is not fatal to a team that is not a certain person.

It seems to be...

In the 18th minute, when Nottingham Forest continued to press Barcelona, ​​Barcelona cut off the ball in the backcourt and launched a fast attack.

After Puyol passed the football to Edmilson, Barcelona instantly rushed up with six people. The speed was so fast that the Forest team, which was used to the opponent's embarrassing reaction, did not expect it.

If there was George at this time, Wood. He would definitely force Ronaldinho to the first time, but when the Forests' midfielder didn't know how to deal with it, Ed Milson had already passed the football to Ronaldinho in front.

"Ronaldinho got the ball, but there was no player from the Forest team by his side!"

George; the influence of Wood's absence erupted at this moment.

Due to the lack of full-time midfielders, the Forest's central defender is blank in front. The defense line has to mention the midfield position defense, so there will inevitably be a lot of gaps behind them...

Ronaldinho did not pass the ball on the unmarked ground, but continued to dribble forward, attracting Albertini and Pepe to defend. The center of gravity of the entire defense line of the Forest team was transferred to himself, and then he suddenly braked and passed the ball!

The African cheetah Etoo broke out from the stalker, and no one noticed him because everyone was looking at Ronaldinho. He was afraid that he would show some amazing magic again. But this time, he was just a bait!
