Chapter 17 The Crisis of Two Lianping (1)

Everything was going on according to Donn's arrangement. Coventry still failed to attack, so seventeen minutes later, they replaced Pipe who was not performing well, and it was Gary McShefrey who played. The young man, who was only 20 years old, was the team's main scorer so far, and scored three goals ten times. If he hadn't been wounded in the training two days before the game, McCallist would definitely not have put him on the bench.

A young man with yellow hair looks a bit like Rooney. Of course, if he is as powerful as Rooney, Don will cry.

Although not as good as Rooney, McShafrey brought great trouble to the Forest's defense after he came on the court. He did not appear in the middle, but pulled to the left, facing the Forest's right-back Frenchman Matthew Louis Jean.

When Donn saw this change, he realized that he had made Macaulister simple. Although the player and head coach could not beat the off-court coach in the overall situation, he had first-hand information in many details. The right back of the Forest team is indeed a headache for Donn. The only real right back is the Frenchman, and Smeka can also be the right back, but obviously he has better defensive midfield effect. The other person is John Thompson, who can also play guest-game right back, but the most suitable position is the defensive midfield and central defender.

I was observing Coventry in the stands, and Coventry's head coach was observing his team on the court.

McShefrey is not a master of dribbling, but his speed breakthrough on the wing gave Louis a headache. In addition, the rainy days and the ground are slipping, so it is always easy to be passed by the opponent. Sometimes he can only barely block it through fouls. What is even more worrying is that this person is obviously better than the two strikers before Coventry, and both shots were within the range of the goal frame. Done shook his head in the stands. He didn't expect this and didn't tell Walker and the others during the break. At this time, if Thompson, who has better defensive skills, he should be able to defend McShefrey with injuries.

pity……

Only then did Tang En discover a bigger problem. Although McCallister could not make the most timely adjustments to the team. He watched the game in the stands, even if he saw the problem and came up with a solution, he could not notify the assistant coach on the sidelines... The results were the same, and they could not make the most direct adjustments to the team.

Fortunately, Bowyer and Walker on the sidelines made the adjustments in Don't mind ten minutes later. They replaced Lewis Jean, who was sieve by McShefrey. The situation returned to balance.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the fourth official held up a three-minute stoppage time sign on the sidelines, with five minutes left before Tang En coaching the team's first victory. The Forest fans in the stands kept singing, and the fans around him couldn't wait to come up to congratulate Tang En. In their opinion, the game was sure to win.

Done smiled again, and his mood was gradually getting better by two members of the Discipline Committee and the security guards on the Hayfield Road Stadium. In this black and white world, nothing is more cute and can make people happy than victory.

※※※

There is an old saying that has been mentioned countless times on many occasions, and the listeners' ears have been called into question. However, at this moment, this famous saying by the godfather of German football, Joseph Herberg, must be played back in the old tune: Football is round.

Just as the fourth official dropped the electronic sign and turned back, Coventry won a frontcourt free kick, about twenty-five meters in the center of the penalty area. They won five frontcourt free kicks in this game, and the first four were wasted by McCallister. He probably had the same complaints as Ian Jace: the turf of the court was too slippery, the soil was too loose, and the support was not strong enough.

But this time...

When McCallister stood in front of the ball, the Forest fans beside Donn were still singing and dancing, but he stood there and said nothing, looking at the field with concentration. The more such a moment, the more nervous he became. As long as he survived the ball, the rest would be easy. The Forests could control the football at his feet until the end of the game.

McCaulist turned his back to cheering Forest fans, and there was no close-up on the big screen. Don En could not see the coach and player's expression at this moment. In the game between the two, he was going to win.

The referee blew the whistle, McShafrey shot with a fake shot, and McCallister followed and shot!

The football tore through the rain curtain, crossed the wall, and then swung around Darren Ward's hand, then hit the net, splashing water droplets spread everywhere, even blocking Don't's eyes.

Tang En blinked hard, trying to confirm. He soon heard deafening shouts. The sounds were not from the forest team fans beside him, but from the sky blue square opposite...

Macaulister was pressed under his excited teammates, and the commentator's voice echoed: "In the 88th minute! Coventry, Gary Macaulister! Direct free kick, beautiful! 1:1 tie! They have been unbeaten for eight consecutive rounds!" The response to him was the roar in the stands that seemed to be thunderous.

"I'll fuck him!" Tang En punched the seat next to him, and the fans around him were silent. This was an ending that no one expected. Coventry, who had no chances in the whole game, actually used a direct free kick to equalize the score. Nothing was more infuriating than a three-pointer he got. What was even more infuriating was that Tang En didn't know what the problem was. His team's performance was almost perfect. Just because of a lucky balloon, his eighty-eight minutes of hard work was ruined.

The players of Coventry were still celebrating, while the players of the Forest were standing on the court with a confused look on their faces.

The rain is still falling, but Don Eun no longer cares about the impact of the weather on the game. In his opinion, the game ends here. 1:1, he and McCallister tied. Although the guy who was the player and head coach could not use tactical adjustments to save the team, he did it with his own goal.

He turned around and looked at the somewhat disappointed fans and began to regret why he wanted to sit here. Beside them, he felt really uncomfortable to see their transition from joy to disappointment.

"Back to home, I will bring you a victory..." he murmured.

※※※

The final result of this game was that the tenacious Coventry equalized the score before the end of the game. The Forest team took away a point, but it seemed that they were even more regretful and unwilling than the home team.

After the 29th round of the league, Forest team, which had one game less, even dropped to the 14th place in the league, and they only accumulated 39 points. The only thing that can comfort Don Ng is that the fourteenth and sixth leagues are only four points away. The difference between the two games is just one game less.

His teacher left a mess for himself. Tang En finally gave the team a little fighting spirit. Never continue to be depressed because of the record. There is no big problem within the team. Tang En only has one task left now - that is, to lead the team to achieve good results.
