Chapter 55: One kick to determine the universe

Wood didn't quite understand why the boss asked about what happened eleven years ago at this time, but he didn't have the heart to guess the reason behind it. He was only in his mind as he was re-entered into the game.

Real Madrid also intends to take advantage of the situation to continue attacking, which is absolutely not allowed. Nottingham Forest must use some methods to get the initiative on the court again. Although they kicked off in the second half, football always falls at the feet of Real Madrid players.

At this time, George Wood stepped forward and used his excellent defensive ability to help the team regain the ball possession.

By the 105th minute of the game, both players were almost exhausted. George Wood was just a little better than them. But he was the captain, so he couldn't show his fatigue.

"We have experienced a highly tense season. Even George can't bear it until now..." Chris Lark was worried about Wood's physical fitness for the first time.

"Don't worry, he can persevere." Tang En comforted the assistant coach beside him.

Casillas kicked the ball with big feet and the football flew to the midfield. George Wood and Ribery jumped at the same time to compete for the top. The football was pushed away by Wood, and Ribery lost.

In terms of high-altitude ball control, no Real Madrid can beat George Wood.

But they got the second point. Drared received the ball from Wood from below. At this time, Gago should have stepped forward to defend, but Gago had exhausted his energy. Drared shook Gago with a change of direction and lost all his gravity and fell to the ground.

Gago, who was lying on the ground, covered his calf and rolled in pain - he was cramped.

However, the Real Madrid players did not mean to stop the attack.                                                                                                                        �

Delarede continued to dribble the ball. The Nottingham Forest fans in the stands were booing. Adriano Mok, this thin little man, rarely hit the opponent's body, but the player rushed up and drove the ball out of the sideline.

His foul received a yellow card for him.

The players of the Forest team were very dissatisfied and surrounded the referee and pointed at Gago who was still lying on the ground, signaling him to see what Real Madrid players did.

The referee just shook his head and did not punish Drader - there was no such rule.

While other players were surrounding the referee to discuss the argument, George Wood ran forward to help Gago push up his legs.

Gago lay on the ground, his expression not happy, but he looked a little dim.

"I can't do it anymore, captain. I can't hold on anymore... Both legs hurt."

Wood lowered his left leg, lifted his right leg, and continued to press.

"Switch, captain." Gago said softly, with a little reluctance and reluctance in his tone. "I can only drag everyone down if I stay on the court..."

Wood didn't say anything. Continue to squeeze his legs.

At this time, the team doctor Fleming, who ran up, came over to see Gago's situation, and decisively made a substitution gesture to Tang En.

Tang En also has a substitution quota. He had never been willing to use it before, for fear of an accident in the end, so it is now in handy.

Donn swept the bench. In the end, he did not click on Thiago, who was also a midfielder, but chose forward Ibisevic.

"Goal!" Don En clenched his fists and said to Ibisevic, "Aaron alone is not enough. You go up and continue to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense."

Ibisevic nodded. Although he had become famous for a long time. This was his first time to play in the finals of the European Champions League.

"Nottingham Forest substitution. Fernando Gago, who fell to the ground with cramps due to lack of energy, was replaced. The person who replaced him was...Vedad Ibissevic! Donn removed a midfielder and replaced a striker... It seems that he plans to break through Real Madrid's goal in the last ten minutes!" The commentator revealed his unconcealed surprise in his tone.

The people who were also surprised by this were Real Madrid's head coach Michel Gonzalez. When he found that the person standing on the sidelines was Ibissevic, he turned his head to look at Don En, as if he wanted to see through Don En's mind like this.

Now, both sides have used up all the substitution quotas, and the head coach has finished all the things they can do. The rest depends on the players' own efforts.

Michelle didn't expect that Tang En's last adjustment would put treasure on the offense. Does he still want to end the battle within 120 minutes? Originally, Michelle thought that Tang En would make a substitution and would definitely replace a player who was good at taking penalty kicks at the last moment and compete with Real Madrid for a penalty kick.

Ibisevic was pushed onto the court by Donn and he made a forward gesture to the players.

That's very obvious, I'm asking everyone to attack.

Even players like Mok dared to prove a collision with their opponents. Nottingham Forest regained the initiative in the game with this ruthlessness.  In the following time, everyone seemed to have seen the first half of overtime again.                                                                                                 �

Nottingham Forest once compressed all Real Madrid players into a 30-meter area. The combination of wing breakthroughs and long shots in the middle made Casillas the busiest player on the field.

Whenever Forest team controls the ball and attacks, there will be huge booing in the stands. However, Forest players are not disturbed by this kind of interference. They hear too much booing, and such a scene cannot scare them. They are looking for the defensive gaps of Real Madrid over and over again and then use them.

Michelle has replaced too many defenders, and now Real Madrid can only recover the formation and rely on the advantage of local numbers to defend the Forest's offense.

But how long can they last?

"George Wood's long shot - rub the crossbar and go out!"

"Casillas kicked the ball into the frontcourt with big feet, but Hunterlaer couldn't control the ball at all. The football fell to the foot of Nottingham Forest again. Mock broke through Ronaldo on the sideline! Beautiful skill... Oh, it's a pity that the cross was a little bigger... Wait, Fernandez ran up, he stopped the ball near the sideline! Crossed again!"

Mitcher jumped high, higher than Garey, and then shook his head strongly!

"Casillas!!" the Spanish commentator shouted excitedly. "Save like God!"

The header was so close that he still allowed Casillas to hold it out in one hand. The Real Madrid captain's performance is worthy of the title of world's number one goalkeeper.

When Mitchel jumped in the air without interrupting, the Forest coach's seat and the bench rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. Unfortunately, Casillas' save extinguished the fire in their hearts. A group of people hugged their heads and retracted their seats.

"It's too straight!" Tang En complained below. Then he applauded the court to express his praise and encouragement.

Nottingham Forest's corner kick did not directly reach the goal, but played a tactical cooperation. Bale took a short corner kick and kicked the football to Fernandez, who came forward to meet him. Then Fernandez dribbled the ball from a diagonal line, got rid of a defensive player, and then dribbled the ball horizontally along the penalty area line. Then when Real Madrid players thought he was going to shoot directly from a long shot, he suddenly passed a straight pass, and the football rolled into the penalty area with a ninety-degree route with his direction of progress. Bale, who had just made the corner kick, appeared there, and swept directly in after receiving the ball.

This time Ramos made a contribution. He blocked the football from the baseline before it flew into the goal range and continued the corner kick!

Nottingham Forest won consecutive corner kicks, and everyone's hearts were hung up.

Tang En took the time to look at his watch. There were still eight minutes left before the overtime ended. Time flies so fast, half of it will pass in a blink of an eye...

The Forest team did not continue to play tactical corner kicks. Instead, they continued to change their corner kick tactics. This time, they were long passes and kicked to the top of the arc.

George Wood is waiting there.

He stopped the football up with his chest and just past Ribery's top. When Ribery found that Wood was hitting him with the football, he wanted to reach out to pull it. But suddenly he remembered that he was still near the penalty area. It was too dangerous to make a foul at this position, so he had to give up.

Wood stopped the ball past Ribery. But it was not conducive to shooting directly. Because the football was too high. He could only turn around, turn his back to the goal, control the football in the air, and make plans.

At this time, Ribery's chance came. He turned around and hooked Wood's ball away!

"Real Madrid's chance!"

The commentator had not finished speaking. However, Wood snatched back to Ribery's earth.

Although the possession of the ball was regained, the Forest team also lost the opportunity to shoot directly, and Wood had to pass the football to the wing. He launched another attack.

Mock received Wood's pass, and made a feint to pass the ball, and actually hit the ball with a sudden hit and rushed past Marcelo!

After breaking into the penalty area, he entangled with Drared. Then he fell to the ground.

Nottingham Forest players think that Drarede is a foul and should give a penalty. The Real Madrid insisted that Mok was fake and should give a yellow card. In this way, Mok will turn yellow and get out of here.

Done was a little angry on the court because the referee did not award a penalty to Forest. But the controversial landlord referee did not give Mock a yellow card. He asked Casillas to serve the goal - nothing counted.

Two more minutes passed.

As time goes by, the intensity of the game on the court is declining. Everyone can't run anymore. Some balls are placed thirty minutes ago, and players on both sides will definitely fight for them to the death. But now they can only watch the opponent get the ball, but they have no strength to do so.

Forest team's physical strength began to decline after a while, and the offensive momentum was not as fierce as before. Real Madrid could finally breathe a sigh of relief and look for opportunities. This may be the only thing Tang En did wrongly - he arranged the team to attack in the second half of overtime. But he didn't expect the impact of physical strength to be so great. After all, they were one less person than Real Madrid. Real Madrid can besiege Forest team throughout the first half of overtime. But the Forest team could not replicate this scene in the second half.

He stood on the sidelines, so nervous that he could not be more nervous. He could only secretly clench his fists and loosen them, and then clenched them and loosened them. The muscles in his body were tense and tense with this movement.

As nervous as he was, his wife, Xianya, in the box. She had never left Tang En since the overtime game, and she didn't care about the game or anything else. Anyway, she was not very interested in football.

The players of the two teams did not want to waste time here, but unfortunately they did not have the physical strength to promote a new wave of offensives. Time passed by another three minutes in this slow rhythm. The whole game was 118 minutes long.

"The score is still 2:2. Perhaps the coaches of both teams should consider playing penalty kicks."

Michelle was very obedient. He turned around and asked the assistant coach for the list of penalty kickers, preparing to arrange the order. He then handed it over to the fourth official.

Tang Enzhe stood on the sidelines and did not move. He was unwilling to accept it.

Yes, he was unwilling to enter the penalty shootout like this, and he was unwilling to hand over his destiny to his illusory luck.

But everything should be done, and the players are subject to physical fitness and cannot exert all their strength. What if he doesn't accept it?

Without Gago in the midfield, Wood's burden was heavier. He not only needed to defend, but also organized the offense. Gago and Shahin were not there. Defensive and offensive depended on him. If it weren't for his perverted physical fitness, I'm afraid that Gago would have cramped and fell to the ground just after he got out of the field.

Wood passed a straight pass to the front, but unfortunately Fernandez didn't run, so the football just rolled out of the sideline. He gave the opponent an outbound ball.

The Chilean was sorry to gesture to Wood, and said that he was too tired and could not run, and did not intend to play negatively.

What can Wood say? Looking around. His teammates and even his opponents all have the same expression as Fernandez - tired.

Bale took advantage of the death ball to support his hands on his knees, leaned down and gasped for breath, sweat gathered on the tip of his chin and dripped on the turf.

Even Ribery was hurrying to rest - he stood there and didn't want to move at all. Scarface lost his murderous aura at this time, and his expression was a little dull.

In fact, he was tired too. It was just that he didn't show it.

If he leaned down like Bale, their opponents would be happy and used him as a key point to attack. If he was also as confused and dull as Ribery, he would not be able to give his teammates confidence, and the entire team might collapse at the last minute.

He gritted his teeth and persevered.

After Real Madrid's out-of-bounds ball was thrown out, Wood rushed up and grabbed it. From his pace and movements, you can't tell that he was also a person who kept running for nearly 120 minutes.

At this time, the bottom of the live TV screen also showed the running distance between George Wood in the competition so far - 20,000 kilometers!

This number scared the commentator. He was stunned for a while before stuttering: "Maybe he should really go to the marathon... run around. Run nonstop. George Wood can still sprint until now!"

Yes, sprint! Wood broke Higuain's ball around the front defense at the speed of sprinting. Higuain was stunned and was not prepared for Wood's defense this time. He raised his hands and seemed to be protesting something, or was upset about his performance...

Wood, who cut the ball, still selflessly passed the ball to his teammates. Unfortunately, his teammate was cut off after receiving the ball - he was exhausted and could not even protect the ball.

Tang En shook his head when he saw it off the court.

He took a deep breath, then opened his voice and shouted: "Joe————”

Wood turned his head when he heard his roar.

"Take it on your own!" Tang En waved his hand forward.

Bring it yourself?

Wood looked at his teammates around him. They were obviously exhausted, maybe they were only waiting for the whistle to blew for 120 minutes. Ajinfeyev had the energy, but could he rush out?

It seems that I really have to fight myself...

Just as the Forests were thinking about how to attack, Real Madrid accumulated strength to launch their first attack in the second half of overtime.

Ramos suddenly made a pass when he just passed the midfield and passed the ball from the air to the penalty area.
To be continued...
