Chapter Thirty-Three Welcome to Hell 2

Chapter 33 Welcome to Hell 2

"Maybe... you won't walk alone forever, but remember... the Eagles will always fly alone... What kind of mess is this?" Don En, who followed the team out of the corridor, glanced at a banner hanging on the stands next to him, with a black bottom and a white letter, which was very conspicuous. "Are we Liverpool?" He turned around and asked Don next to him.

Tang explained. “We and Liverpool are both red jerseys. Liverpool’s nickname is ‘reds’, and we are ‘red’. Besiktas’ nickname is ‘Black Hawks’, so there will be such slogans… Perhaps in the eyes of these Turks, all England teams will use ‘You will never walk alone’ as a slogan…”

"It's hopeless..." Tang En shook his head and sighed, and walked towards the coach's seat.

At the tactical meeting a day ago, the Forest team established their best "defensive counterattack" tactics in this game. The Turkish team will definitely take advantage of the home court to launch a fierce attack on the Forest team's goal. At the beginning of the game, the Forest team's defense must be done well, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

In this game, Donn did not line up his most commonly used 442 formation, but changed the formation. 4141, this is the new formation of the Forest in this game. George Wood served as the midfielder alone, and Leiden Barnes, Kompany, Ayala and Rafinia on the back line from left to right. The forward line from left to right are Gareth Bale, Martin Petrov, Raphael Van der Fate and Allen Lennon, and single forward Van Nystruey.

In this game, due to some minor injuries in Beckham, Don did not put him on the starting lineup, although he had a lot of experience. Eastwood was also absent due to injury.

The news of Turkey's local media before the game was one-sided. The forest team has faced a dilemma recently: the team is frequently injured and the main players are absent; the players fight during training. There is a noise in internal disunity; the hotel is located in the downtown area, and it is not good to rest at night; the team has not won consecutively, and has not won a single game in the group stage so far, and morale is depressed...and so on.

These reports indirectly prove that their team will win tonight.

Tang En couldn't understand the words of Turkey, but he still knew what these media said. He had a habit of learning what the local media said when playing away games and finding what they needed. Isn't it easy to find a translation?

After seeing these reports from Turkey, he was not angry. Instead, he was very happy. Because he saw his chance to win away games. Now Besiktas must be optimistic about the result of this game. That would be the best. Optimistic emotions can give rise to the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy, and the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy will lead to changes in the final result.

After sitting down in the coach's seat, he also glanced at the giant banner in the stand opposite.

Welcome to Hell.

Hey, maybe whose hell it is!

In the last preparation before the game, Tang En did not incite any emotions. He didn't need to incite this kind of game, he really wanted to win. The psychological quality is acceptable, and you will definitely be very motivated to see such an away atmosphere - you will beat the home team at other people's home court, and the opponent will not let them do whatever they like to see the most. This is not only Tony. Tang En's evil taste alone, but also the evil taste of the whole Nottingham Forest team...

He just told the players. If we can't win this game, we will play the League Cup. Tony Don't do such a shameful thing. If anyone wants to play the League Cup, he will go, he will definitely not go anyway.

"Either the top two in the group qualify, or get out of the bottom. Which result do you accept?" He asked the whole team in the locker room.

Is this a matter of saying?

Nottingham Forest never accepts failure!

The game opened the curtain with deafening cheers. As expected, as Donn expected, Besiktas took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack on the Forest's goal, hoping to score as soon as possible and establish a lead, and then the remaining games will be much easier to play. With the crazy support of 20,000 home fans, there is a terrifying atmosphere in the home court of hell. Are you afraid that you can't win the home game?

Tang En sat in the coach's seat for a while, then stood up and stood on the sidelines. The Turks attacked so crazy... They didn't care about the defense and pressed them up. But they really had reason to do so. Such a fierce offensive completely knocked back the Forest's counterattack idea. After five minutes, they could only shrink into the defense of the third area of ​​the defense, and they didn't even have the chance to attack the opponent's 30-meter area once.

Seeing that the defending champion was only able to resist and had no power to fight back in front of his team, the Turkish fans at Inonu Stadium were all excited. The roar was even louder.

Besiktas is a strong team in Turkey. And it is mostly dominated by young Turkey players. Of course, that was the past. Now, since Zagrem took over this team, this local Turkish coach has surprisingly favored foreign players. Since he took office, Besiktas has changed his previous traditions and spent money to buy a lot of foreign players. However, these foreign players have no way to compare with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray in terms of fame and strength.

Guinea international Diata, who has just joined the team this season, is still a substitute now, and cooperation with the team has become a problem. This game is only on the substitute list.

Brazilian striker Bobo has been selected for Brazil's under-21 national team, but in Brazil he has too many players of his level, so his results are like this. He appeared on the starting list in this game and was the single arrow in Besiktas's team.

Argentina's midfielder Delgado is called "Delgado" in Argentina and has many people, and there are several famous players, but this has nothing to do with those stars. He has never been selected for any national team in Argentina. Mathias Delgado has the delicate footwork and dribbling skills that South American players generally possess, and is Besiktas' main midfielder.

Rodrigo Tello (rodrigo_tello), Chile international, left-handed forward. His skills are excellent and one of the people that the Forest team needs to pay attention to. He also appears in the starting lineup. In the past five minutes, many of Besiktas's attacks were assisted on the left. His cross and long-range shots are quite threatening.

Besiktas's midfielder Cice has nothing to do with the French striker Cice, although they are both French. His full name is Eduard Cise (edouard_cisse), who may be the most familiar person among Besiktas' foreign aid. Tang An's first game officially coached Nottingham Forest was the FA Cup in England, and Nottingham Forest played against Premier League team West Ham United at home. At that time, West Ham United's starting midfielder was

It was this French man. After West Ham was relegated, he returned to France. Unexpectedly, he has now moved to the Turkish League to play. Don En feels like "where we meet in life". This man is Besiktas's main midfielder and the backbone of the defense. Last season, he played 34 times in the Ligue 1, scoring two goals. One assist. The Champions League played seven times, scoring one goal and one assist. This data is pretty good for a midfielder.

In addition, due to his arrival, Besiktas turned out to be the main midfielder Brack to play as a substitute forward...

In addition to Diata, the above are the foreign players who started in this game, and together with Turkey's local legion, this lineup is much overshadowed by Nottingham Forest. However, they have a home advantage. So the gap in strength has been made up.

Besiktas' captain is Ibrahim Uzulmez, who was selected for the national team thirty-two times and a 33-year-old veteran. He is a full-back who only assists but not defends. In these five minutes of the game, his performance was as outstanding as Taylor. Their two of them took turns to make Besiktas' left side the most threatening side corridor. It also puts Rafinia and Lennon under tremendous pressure.

Since Zimbonda was still reflecting in the reserve team and did not come to Istanbul with the team, the right side of the Forest team can be said to be "strengthier than defense" in this game. Rafinia and Lennon are both wing players who are good at attacking. Rafinia is even a Brazilian full-back. The tradition of Brazilians is to attack higher than defense. I think Besiktasdi young head coach Zagrem also saw this and let the team attack the right side of the Forest team.

Donn turned his head and looked at the next door. Zaglum was standing on the sidelines to direct the game.

This head coach of the same age as me... I originally thought that the head coach who was less than forty years old was rare, but I didn't expect that there were so many less than forty people in Europe... but he was the only one who succeeded, Tony Tang En, and he could still be proud of him.

The youngest head coach in European Champions League history to lead the team to win the championship!

How dazzling this name is...

Besiktas won Porto in the last game and currently has three points, temporarily ranking second in the group. Marseille won consecutively and ranked first in the group with six points. On this night, Marseille will face Porto, which is at the bottom of the points, while Besiktas will welcome Nottingham Forest at home. The leading team wants to expand its leading advantage, while the lagging team wants to turn over and become the masters and pull their competitors off the horse. This night in Group A will be shrouded in strong smoke.

Zaglum's conducting style is a bit "rock", which means that his body language is quite rich, his movements are very large and exaggerated, and he can't calm down for a moment when he is on the sidelines. He holds an electric guitar in his hand and does not need to put on makeup. He is just a rock singer.

Compared with this rock singer, Tang En is simply a country folk singer. She sits on the coach's seat and crosses her legs without moving. But every time he gets up, there must be something. His players only need to see their coach get up to know what changes are going to happen.

Now Tang En sat in the coaching seat, crossing his legs, and had no intention of getting up. Besiktas's attack was as fierce as he expected, and he also arranged corresponding tactical responses, and there was nothing to worry about.

The Forest team has seen a fierce offensive that is more fierce than Besiktas. The only thing that makes Don En vaguely worried is the fanatical home atmosphere. After several seasons of Nottingham Forest's home court, it is also famous for the "devil's home court" in the Premier League. Any team who comes here to fight will be ruthless booed and abused by Nottingham Forest fans. That noisy sound will sound from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, and there will be no pause in the middle. Playing in such an environment is just a minute game for many players with poor psychological quality.

So Donn knows very well how terrible it is for a good home court to the away team. Can his players withstand the two huge pressures of Besiktas' fierce attack and the sound wave offensive of Besiktas' fans?

He didn't want others to see his inner worries through some subtle movements. So he was still sitting on the coach's seat, crossing his legs and shaking... looking confident.

Ten minutes passed, although Besiktas' offensive was strong, the Forest's goal remained standing. The score was still 0:0.

Generally speaking, the home team fans boo the visiting team wait for the opponent's players to get the ball, but whenever Besiktas fans see the players of the Forest team that are touching the ball, they will boo in the stands. If Besiktas players intercept the ball in the middle of the way, the booing will instantly turn into cheers. It really makes people wonder whether this is the sound of a person shouting or a recording carefully controlled by a computer program.

Ten minutes is what Tang En said that he needs to pay attention to. Seeing that it is still 0:0, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to chat with Tang to share some things exposed in the ten-minute game.

Just as he turned his head, George Wood stabbed the football under Bobo with a suspected foul tackle. The man who received the ball was no longer Besiktas, but Nottingham Forest!

Nottingham Forest fans, with only two hundred people, finally burst out with the first cheers of this game, although they were quickly suppressed by their opponents...

Tang pushed Tang En, who was going to talk to him. He signaled him to watch the stadium.

Tang En turned around and happened to see the Forest team taking the ball to organize the offense.

The person who received the ball from Wood was Martin Petrov, one of the two central defenders. If Ribery was not injured, this position would definitely be his place. Unfortunately, he was injured, so he had to catch Petrov to take the place when he came. It can be seen that he was not very adaptable to playing football in the middle. He was always used to running to the side. As a result, Bale's space was compressed. This is also one of the reasons why the Forest team could not get up to the offense.

Fortunately, Petrov did not go to the side to compete with Bale again, and he did not rush forward after getting the ball in the middle. Although he was pressed by his opponent for ten minutes, he did not lose his calmness. He made a pretend to break through, which caused Besiktas's midfielder to run two steps back and block. But he pulled the football back, did not break through, nor did he pass the ball, but looked up and waited for his teammates to insert it, otherwise there would be no passing point.

Van der Fate ran up from the side, and Lennon and Gareth Bale also went up very quickly. It was obvious that the Forest team was pressed for ten minutes. She could not wait to attack.

Petrov passed the ball to Van der Fate, and then he waved to George Wood in the back, signaling him to come up too.

Wood shook his head and rejected the proposal. Although the Forests seemed to have five midfielders in this game, George Wood was the only one responsible for the defense when the team attacked. In the game, he was a completely defensive midfielder and could not be pushed up at any time. This is also what Tang En asked him to ensure the stability of the defense line. The Forests' counterattack could be threatened.

Petrov shrugged, turned around and ran up to participate in the attack.

Van der Fate distributed the football to Lennon on the wing. Then he ran forward to pick him up.

Lennon didn't plan to pass the ball. He held the ball and looked at the opponent's captain Uzulmez.   In the past ten minutes, he had been exhausted from defense, thanks to this person.  This time he finally had an offensive opportunity, so he must win it back.

Lennon couldn't see his teammates raising his hands to ask for it. He was now full of the idea of ​​"fighting" the other party.

Uzurmez is good at assisting, but his defense is not very good, and he is slow at the age of 33. Lennon decided to take advantage of this and forcefully break through his opponent with his own speed - he was too lazy to even use fake moves to sway and dunk.

Lennon, who was confident in his speed, sank his waist and suddenly changed his speed while dribbling the ball at a slow speed. He swung the ball to the sideline and accelerated at the same time.

Uzurmez is indeed good at assisting and not good at defense. His age makes his speed point unable to keep up. But Lennon wanted to miss a little, and he didn't consider the opponent's much richer experience than him...

Seeing Lennon's pace, Urzumez knew what this kid wanted to do. The information before the game told him that Allen Lennon was very fast and was a wing player who was good at breaking through with speed and false moves of changing directions.

So just as Lennon knocked the ball out, the experienced Uzulmez suddenly turned around and stood in front of him. Then, without waiting for the two to collided, he chased the football ahead of time. Lennon's reaction was quite fast. Seeing Uzulmez cut across the position, he planned to run into it and cause the opponent to block the foul. But he didn't expect that the experienced Uzulmez also expected this and did not give him the opportunity to pounce on it and contact it. At this moment, the veteran's body burst out with terrible energy, and he suddenly threw Lennon away and caught up with the football.

Lennon, who wanted to make the opponent foul, slowed down at that moment, but found that the opponent was not fooled. It was too late to speed up and start, so he could only watch the football be taken by Uzulmez. He staggered and almost fell down.

The Forest's first offensive ended, and Besiktas's offense followed, giving the Forest no chance to breathe.

Uzulmez distributed the football to Taylor who came back to assist in defense. After receiving the ball, the Chilean full-back turned around and broke. Lennon wanted to chase him back, but he could only watch his opponent go away...

The Forest team, which was holding back the energy, was preparing to launch a large-scale attack. Unexpectedly, the football was cut off as soon as it was passed, and the opponent's counterattack was also sharp and resolute, and they fought against the defensive counterattack. The Forest team did not react at once, allowing Taylor to break directly into the 30-meter area.

When Taylor saw that Rafinia and Ayala were both coming up to press. Without hesitation, he shook his feet and passed the football horizontally.

George Wood followed Delgado to the football with his front midfielder close to him. If the opponent stopped the ball, he would push him away from the goal. If the opponent planned to shoot directly, he would rob the ball.

Delgado clearly felt the pressure brought by this person around him, like a hungry beast chasing behind your butt, making a heavy breathing sound. You can even feel the heat from his mouth, sticking to you wet. Is this the captain of the European Championship team? Although he has not been in the industry for a long time, he has long been famous in Europe's defensive midfielder, and countless strong men have fallen under his feet. Can you do it yourself?

The inner hesitation made Delgado lose the best time to deal with the ball. When he noticed the football ground, the ball was already very, very close to him. The closeness made him unable to stop the ball, and he had no time and space to swing his legs if he wanted to shoot. George Wood followed closely again. If he forced the ball to stop, the result would be very likely to be cut off.

Delgado chose to miss the ball in a hurry! He shot with his legs, tricking Wood into falling to the ground to block it. But he wisely missed the ball...

The football rolled between his legs, and no one touched it!

Sedal Ozkan, who followed up in the middle, shot directly!

Kompany flew to block it, but the football hit his toes and refracted. Although it was exactly the same as the direction of Van der Sar's saving, it was even more tricky. The football drew an arc, bypassed Van der Sar's fingertips, rubbed the posts... and flew into the ball net!

The ball entered?

The ball has entered!

The Inonu Stadium burst into loud cheers, as if the Turkic cavalry legion swept across the ancient Roman Empire and crossed the gate of time and space and returned to the world, one after another, getting closer and closer, shaking everyone present with the eardrums bulging and painful. In the end, it was deafening. When they spoke face to each other, they could only open their mouths and not hear the sound.

It's incredible, is this a stadium that can only accommodate 20,000 people?

The players of Nottingham Forest stood on the court and in front of the bench, looking up at the stands around in a daze.

Tang En sat in the coach's seat without even moving his butt. He just stared at the banner facing the stands, with bloody words reminding them that this is hell.
