Chapter 76: Someone Above

Chapter 76 Someone above

Warning! This is our territory. Intrusion is an illegal invasion. Please withdraw immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to us and will be defeated!

Repeat! This is our territory. Intrusion is an illegal invasion. Please withdraw immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to us and will be defeated in three seconds!

one!

two!

three!

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, sweat beads spread out and grass chips splashed!

The Reading player wearing a blue and white horizontal shirt fell out in a very embarrassing way. At the scene of the collision, George Wood stood there, lying quietly under his feet with the football he had just broken.

"Foof..." Before Reading's fans finished saying this, they were drowned out by even louder cheers.

"Do it-beautiful!!" The Forest fans all stood up and shouted.

The referee also seemed to hear the shouts of the home team fans. He shook his finger at the Reading player who was lying on the ground and ran backwards.

"Give me the ball!" Gunnarson shouted next to Wood. This was a great opportunity for the Forest to fight back.

Wood obediently passed the ball, but did not run forward. He kept in mind the request of Don En to defend, don't let the opponent pass by him and threaten the goal behind. The vast area from the center line to the penalty area line is my territory. I am the ruler here. Anyone who wants to pass by here must ask me if I agree! The boy from Reading just now, have you... bought the ticket?

"What a beautiful frontal defense!" Motterson shouted, "Steve Sidwell is a very good player in Reading, but he can't take any advantage in front of George Wood! Coach Kopel was angry at the referee's penalty, but it was indeed a reasonable collision. If he wanted to ask why his player finally flew out sideways... there was only one explanation, that is, George Wood was too strong! Poor Sidwell hit a wall directly in the high-speed dribble!"

Seeing Kopel stomping his feet in front of the coach's seat as if he had been stolen from a banana field, Don could not suppress his smile. He looked at Capel, applauded Wood's performance just now, and said to Walker beside him: "Does, see, Mr. Good Man is getting more and more impatient."

Walker smiled and said, "I guess he was furious after halftime."

"It's great, I know he really hopes to beat me here.  The longer the score of 0:0 is maintained, the more beneficial it will be to us."

Don and Walker were right at all. Reading coach Kopel almost got mad when he wanted to defeat Don.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

"Don't tell me... you can't even win the second team of Nottingham Forest! Those two central defenders have never cooperated together. They may not have been practicing together as much as you spend more time on women's beds! Break down those two silly central defenders! They are vulnerable!"

The players sat in the locker room with their necks shrank and their heads down. Who knows what they were thinking?

It’s not that they don’t want to win, they launched a storm-like offensive against the home team just at the beginning of the second half. But those two defensive midfielders are too powerful! Most of the attacks end in front of them, and even if the other passes can be made into the forest team’s defense line, they will collectively resolve them. Of course, they also know that the first time they cooperated with the central defenders was the fatal weakness of the Forest team in this game, but the two defensive midfielders seemed to have a steel refusal to the Forest team’s penalty area.

Look at poor Sidwell, his bravery and momentum is admirable, but the final result is sighing.

The one wearing Nottingham No. 33 jersey was not a player. But... a wall! A wall built from the side line of the court to the side line!

It was obvious that he had seen him defending on the right side before. After passing the three-foot, the football went to the left. The Reading player had just planned to increase his speed and rush over the forest team's defense line. He just knocked the football out of the bottom line. When the man got up, he looked at the number on the back... It was still No. 33!

This has been 79 minutes of the game! His speed has not changed at all!

Too... terrifying!

This is the only impression that Reading players have seen George Wood for the first time.

In the whole game, I basically saw Wood keeping sprinting horizontally near the 30-meter area. Maybe he looked stupid in playing like this, and only knew how to run with football, but he really scared his opponents. He and Gunnarson were like steel teeth, constantly opening and closing, opening and closing, biting the Reading team's offensive route!

The Reading team was completely helpless by this difficult midfielder, so they simply took a high ball from the backcourt and fed the forwards in front. This just fits Robert Hutter's wishes and George Wood's super-level performance, which even made him feel that he was too leisurely for a while!

Now watching the football fall from the sky, he and Hill jumped up and took turns clearing over the Nottingham Woodland penalty area.

Losing Gotteldine is completely unable to cause any trouble for the Forest's defense line in the offense. If they plan to open the Forest from the wing to defend densely, then one of the two defensive midfielders will immediately add to the wing to assist the full-back defense. If they plan to shoot from the middle, I am afraid that the shooting player will be tackled by Wood and Gunnarson as soon as he swung his feet.

Eighty minutes. The game statistics so far were played on the TV screen. Don't have an absolute disadvantage in ball possession, 31%. Reading has 69% possession. But only eight shots.

"This is really crazy! I believe that many Forest fans are looking forward to their new favorite Freddy Eastwood's wonderful goals before the game, but... this game has become the stage for George Wood, the 18-year-old player! I think it is necessary to remind you again that this young man wearing No. 33 is playing for the first time on behalf of the Forest's first team! This is his first battle. But it is perfect and meaningless! Maybe... we are seeing another new star rising!" Motson's passionate voice heard the satellite signal and spread throughout the UK.

Don Eun didn't know how many people would watch a broadcast of a League One game in front of the TV, but he knew that Wood had succeeded.   The kid performed better than he thought, even better...

Walker asked Donne excitedly, "Tony, I saw you pulling Wood in the locker room and talking for a while. What did you say to him, making him excited in the second half like taking medicine?"

Tang En shrugged: "I only tell him because he was transferred to the first team. I will consider giving him a new contract to replace the original youth contract."

"That's all?" Walker was a little disappointed.

"Of course... no, I also told him that the better he performs, the higher the weekly salary number on that contract will be."

Walker was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

In the VIP box, Evan is congratulating Sophia: "Madam, you have a genius son! Tony never takes a look at people."

Sophia smiled slightly. “Thank you for your praise by Mr. Chairman.”

On the other side of them, the Reading team's chairman was much more depressed. He could still hear Evan Dogerty's laughter through several chairs. Before the game, when he heard that Donne would send a substitute, he was looking forward to a beautiful victory.

A draw can make you so happy, a loser American!

From 85 minutes onwards, Tang En began to make plans for substitutions, basically letting the players sitting on the bench go up and warm up. At the same time, the game time was delayed, so he did not change three people in one breath, but changed one every one or two minutes.

The score is still 0:0. His goal has been achieved. Next, use the rules reasonably to delay the game time and get it in one point.

In fact, Reading's draw today is not unfair. Although the Forest team seems to have dispatched many substitute players, most of the team will be the main players in the next half season. For example... he decided to completely straighten George Wood. With such a first game, I believe no one will question his decision. At the same time, he was not worried that letting Wood play the first team start so soon will ruin this young man... That kind of "injury Zhongyong" example is invalid for George Wood!

Rebrov stood on the sidelines, waiting for a dead ball on the court. He was about to replace Eastwood. This game was due to tactical reasons. The Gypsy didn't perform much... No. It has to be said that everyone's light from the Forest team in this game was snatched away by George Wood.    Critics who were worried that Don't lose before the game could still speak when they saw this scene? I'm afraid they were busy looking for fragments of glasses on the ground?

Reading launched another attack. They were by no means willing to draw with such a Forest team away.

But... George Wood's air wall appeared again, and in front of the Reading players who were stumbled and exhausted from dribbling, he seemed to have just been replaced, full of energy and quick movements...

Puff! Wood stabbed the ball from Reading attack midfielder James Harper (james_harper), and then took a big step and stabbed it again when the opponent was not responding. This completely poked the ball out of the range that the opponent could control.

Then Wood caught up with the football and he got the ball. But... But what should we do next?

For more than a year, he has been practicing defense. Apart from basic skills such as passing, he knows nothing about offensive tactics. What will he do next?

He did not see the air in Reading's defense, nor did he see Eastwood who was planning to circumvent the wing. Suddenly he heard a roar.

"What are you doing? Pass the ball! Kick the ball in front!!"

Don Eun waved his arms and shouted at him on the sidelines.

Yes... Now is a good opportunity for the team to attack, but who will I pass it on to?

"Don't worry about so many! Bastard! Just kick it in the front! Use your energy to eat!" Tang En, who was standing on the sidelines, wanted to go up and play the ball in person on Wood.

Now is the best opportunity for the Forest team to fight back. If you seize it, you might be able to win this game, so he will make a lot of money!

But if Wood hesitated and delayed the fighter's plane, the team lost the opportunity to win... Tang En really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Kick to the goal-!!"

Wood was called back by the elongated and changed voice. He no longer cared about the chaos in the Reading team ahead, and used his best efforts to kick the goal. The football flew high, drew a rainbow-like arc in the air, and rushed towards the goal!

The cheers in the stands grew louder and louder, and amid the cheers, Reading goalkeeper Jamie_aashdown turned around and ran towards the goal.

Seeing this scene on the court, even Don Eun was stunned. Could it be that David Beckham and Habi Alonso possessed their souls at this moment? This kid would definitely not be able to play such a accurate ball in training!

"George Wood's long pass...my god! Is this a direct shot?!"

Evan Dogette couldn't help but stand up from her seat and leaned over to look at the football flying over the court.

Kopel rushed out of the coach's seat. He almost rushed to the court, clenched his fists and shouted: "Bitch! Don't let this ball in!"

Ashton looked up at the football that was beginning to fall and murmured in his heart: "You can't go in, you can't go in, you can't go in, you can't go in!"

He saw the opportunity and jumped up in the back, raised his hand to lift the football off the crossbar, so that everything was over...

But he underestimated the strength and speed of the ball that Wood had kicked with all his strength. The football did not hit his fingertips. Instead, it hit his wrist! Then Ashton fell into the goal, and the football did not fly out of the crossbar as he wished, and it bounced back to the front of the goal!

There is still a chance... Ashton tried hard to get rid of the entanglement of the ball net, stood up and pounced on the football. At this time, he heard the cheers in the stands suddenly many times bigger than before. It suddenly rang in his ears, as if a supersonic plane was just passing by his head!

A black figure appeared in front of the football. Because of the backlight, he could not see the color and appearance of the man's jersey. Is it his teammate, is he going back to defend Landing defender?

Tang En jumped up on the sidelines.

Motson stood up from his seat with a microphone.

Evan Dogette pressed his hands tightly against the glass window of the box, and his fingers made a creaking sound.

Ashton saw the shadow swing his legs at him and then thrust the football hard. He watched the football flew past him in despair. The noise in the stands reached a peak, and he could not hear anything.

"goooooooooooooooooooooooal!! God! Nottingham Forest led the Reading team at the last moment of the game! Freddy Eastwood! He appeared in front of the goal like a ghost, shooting beautifully! I bet even coach Donn would never have thought he would win this game. Can get three points! Look at his performance on the sidelines! Nottingham Forest's coaching seat was crazy! He hugged everyone he saw! This is a crazy goal! Sixty meters indirect assist came from the first-time 18-year-old boy George Wood! Beautiful, boy! This is your first game. Keep playing like this, you will have an extremely bright and brilliant future!" Motson howled regardless of it. Such a goal did make him impulsively.

The Nottingham Forest player who was waiting in the backcourt without any expectations opened his arms and roared towards Eastwood in the frontcourt to celebrate the goal that ignited the city court.

Gunnarson was so excited that he punched his midfield partner in the back. Then when Wood turned to look at him, he laughed and shouted, "Are you stupid? We scored a goal! Beautiful job, boy! This is your assist!" After shouting, he ran to Eastwood like everyone else.

Compared with the madness of others, Wood was still unresponsive. He stood in a daze behind the middle circle - this is where he just started - looking at the dancing teammates around him, Eastwood being pressed under him, Tony Donn, who was hugging everyone on the sidelines, and he also saw the fans cheering in the stands of the city stadium.

While panting, he was thinking of a question: How much can such a performance increase the weekly salary figure on that contract?

Walker shook Don't wait to death, his nose almost pressed against Don't's face and shouted: "Tony! Tony! He is a genius! I swear! I swear with my twenty years of career that he will become an amazing player! Do you know who I'm talking about, right?"

At this time, Donn finally calmed down. He grabbed Walker's shoulder hard and replied, "Of course I know, Des!" Then he turned his head to look at George Wood who was stunned on the court.

From when you kid was trying to practice passing alone on the youth team training ground, from when you went to lay flowers for Gavin's tomb alone, from when you ran to my doorstep and said to me, "Sir, you should sign the best player in England"! I knew you would succeed, George!

Gavin's idol cannot be a mediocre and unknown person!

Boy, you have already had a dream start. Are you ready now? Step forward on this road... No, run! Run at full speed!

This wonderful goal completely defeated Reading. Nottingham Forest defeated Reading with the "Balloon of Luck" at this last moment and scored an unplanned three-pointer.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter suggested that even God did not want Nottingham Forest to lose, so he helped the team at the last moment. Don Eun was not angry. He was in a good mood and instead joked: "In fact, when I need it, I will ask God to help at any time. Mr. Kopel is a good person, and I want to thank him again for giving the Forest three points when I need it."

Kopel was a little embarrassed. “I agree with Mr. Done. This time my team lost not to Nottingham Forest, but to God.” He smiled bitterly and pointed at it.
