Chapter 79 The Cunning Allardyce (Part 2)

There are many coaches who like to restrict young players' performance on the court. They are eager to arrange every second of the movements on behalf of the players, and then let the players complete them accordingly, meticulously and not make any mistakes. They always tell young people during tactics or training that "no more dribbling", "no one-on-one", "no force breakthrough", "no passes"... This is not allowed, not that. If the player does not follow his requirements, he will lose his position on the court in the team.

The originally talented young genius was killed like this.

On the contrary, Tang En likes to encourage young people to play freely, and is happy to see those young people suddenly change their coach's instructions during training and solve problems in their own way. Give them confidence and they will repay the results that make Tang En happy. The football version of the football that rewards their love.

On the forward line, Donn continued to start Freddy Eastwood, who was in good shape, and he partnered with Rebrov, who was skilled. This was the first time the Ukrainian returned to the front line after six games. Donn hoped that his skills and speed could cause some trouble to Bolton's defense line that was older and slow overall.

32-year-old French veteran Bruno Ngoti, 30-year-old Anthony Barness, 32-year-old Simon Charlton, 20-year-old Nichy Hunt. This is Bolton's starting back line in this game. Although such a defense line is experienced, no one knows what will happen under the continuous impact of the young Forest team. You must know that the oldest people in the starting lineup of the Forest team are their goalkeeper Darren Ward and forward Sergey Rebrov, who are only twenty-nine years old.

Tang En sent such a young team with this intention, it doesn't matter if there is no experience, but it's physical strength to make up for it. But the game has just begun ten minutes. He felt that the situation was in critical condition.

The team gave Bolton three free kicks in front of the penalty area in a row! Every time Bolton's young player Nolan stood in front of the ball and was about to take the free kick, Tang En's heartbeat would speed up.

These three free kicks were given by George Wood. He was still too young and lacked game experience. There were two that should not be given. Fortunately, Nolan did not score a free kick, otherwise the goal would be a big blow to Forests after conceding the ball ten minutes into the game.

"Wood!" But this situation still forced Tang En to loudly remind the rough boy. He pressed his hands down, "Calm down! Don't let your feet easily! Just stick to the other person!"

In fact, he should be shouted at the side of the training ground, but who told Wood to train too little? No wonder he has always asked for extra training himself, and he is also very clear about his problems.

After shouting, Tang En turned back to the coach's seat, Walker said to him: "Tony, you should calm down, the game only started ten minutes. Don't be so anxious..."

Donn took a sip of water and nodded: "You're right, Walker. But our opponent is not simple..." He glanced at the visiting team coach's seat, where there was a square-faced man with a slightly dark skin - Sam Allardyce. "Alardyce is a very cunning guy."

According to Don En's memory, Bolton began to revive. It was at the hands of this guy. He led the team to the Premier League, successfully relegated for three consecutive years, and later led the team to the League Cup. He was a very good coach, so he naturally served as the head coach of the quasi-strong team Newcastle. By the way, his predecessor in Newcastle was Glenn Rhodes, who almost made Don En's turnaround last year in the FA Cup.

Walker smiled: "But why do I think you are more cunning than him?"

Tang En scratched his head, he knew what Walker was pointing to.  In an interview before the game, Tang En was confident and confident, claiming to defeat the visiting team Bolton with offensive football at home.   The door to the locker room was closed, and the first thing Tang En said was: "Defense, guys.  I want you to know the importance of defense!"

As a result, judging from Bolton's starting lineup, they were indeed influenced by Donne's remarks on "offensive battles". Although Kevin Nolan is good at interception, his offensive talent is not afraid to underestimate him. Walker believes that Allardyce will start at the 21-year-old Nolan, rather than a real midfielder Flanderson, just hopes to seek some opportunities in the middle - in addition to tackle, young player Nolan also has excellent passing and set pieces, as well as long-range shooting ability.

"Nolan is actually evidence of Allardyce's cunning." Donn watched the game while chatting with Walker. "I would be happier if he chose to let Djokav play the starter. Unfortunately, he used the offense and defense balance Nolan..."

That’s all I said. Nolan used his technology to break through Gunnarson, and at this time he was already at the top of the penalty area!

Where is Wood?

Tang En couldn't help but stand up.

Okocha! Wood is guarding Okocha. Okocha is still five meters away from Nolan, in other words... Wood is also nearly five meters away from Nolan!

Now Nolan is ahead of Weis Morgan and Robert Hutter's back line, and he has enough space to swing his legs and shoot long shots!

"..." Tang En cursed unconsciously, and then he suddenly raised the volume, "Don't let him shoot! Damn..."

Before he finished speaking, Nolan took a long shot outside the penalty area!

Weis Morgan, who rushed forward, wanted to use his body to block the foot and suddenly shot. The football hit his shoulder and jumped, which was exactly the opposite direction to the forest goalkeeper Ward saved! Huge cheers sounded in the south stands of the city court!

"Kevin Nolan!" Martin Taylor shouted on the commentator's seat.

Next, his partner Andy Gray yelled in a louder voice: "Beautiful long shot! In the Premier League game, Kevin Nolan has contributed four such long shots to us! Now in the semi-finals of the League Cup, his goal has helped Bolton lead away!"

Tang En watched the football fly into the Forest team's goal on the sidelines. Ward, who was in the wrong direction, had no choice. He punched the ground in anger, then got up and turned around and walked back to the bench. Walker was helpless about the conceding goal. If Mogan didn't block that, he might not be able to get in!

Tang En stood in front of him, spread his hands and said, "We were behind in twelve minutes. Before the game, I told them the importance of defense for ten minutes, but our concealment came earlier! We were talking about Nolan just now, and he scored the goal!"

Walker shook his head: "Tony, think about it on the other hand... Losing the ball so early may not be a bad thing. We have 78 minutes to recover."

Done turned around and looked at the Bolton players running wildly on the court to celebrate the goal, as well as more than a thousand cheering Bolton fans in the South Stand, gritted his teeth and said: "You're right, Des. But no one likes to concede the ball... How do we play our defensive counterattack now?"

Walker didn't answer because he didn't know how to answer. Yes, how could the Forest team, which accidentally lost a goal, adhere to the defensive counterattack tactics? If you press forward to attack, Bolton put three defensive players in the midfield waiting.
