Chapter 162: Exercise force (Part 2)

When the Forests launched this attack, Villa coach O'Reilly was about to drink water. He put the water bottle at his mouth because he paid attention to the changes in the situation on the field and stopped moving. When he saw the football being pushed into the goal by Eastwood, his first move was to angrily smash the level of his hand to the ground. The water didn't bother to drink it, and turned around and cursed. His opponent Tony Donn raised his arms and rushed to the sidelines, waving his fists to demonstrate to the visiting stands on the opposite side.

The fans who were celebrating unscrupulously just now are all silent.

"...Freddy Eastwood told Villa fans with practical actions that it is not safe to lead two goals!" commentator Martin Taylor expressed Don't think of his heart.

The second half of the game changed sides and the two sides deployed troops, especially Villa's head coach David O'Reilly, who must have made complete defensive arrangements against Eastwood during the break. The Gypsy never got the same chance as in the first half.

At the same time, the Forest team led by veteran Jero's defense line was as stable as Mount Tai, and did not give Villa's Colombian scorer juan_pablo_angel and Peruvian star nolberto_solano a chance to make trouble. Although he was old and turned too slowly, Jero's experience and early positioning still resolved several Villa's attacks.

He is also the most trusted central defender of Don En, but unfortunately his physical reason prevented him from playing the whole season... Perhaps it was a year late to introduce Jero, which was destined to be between Don En and the Spanish national team and the greatest central defender in the history of Real Madrid. Jero signed a one-year contract with Forest, and the Spanish veteran had no intention of renewing the contract - but what could I do? Forest was still struggling in the First Division a year ago. At that time, Nottingham Forest could not attract attention from people like Yero.

The game was in a deadlock, and the score was frozen at 2:2. It has not been moved for a long time.

Donn began to make adjustments, and he replaced Albertini, who was exhausted. Espanyol Mikel Arteta, who transferred during the winter transfer period, finally appeared in the league for the Forest.

This is definitely not a warm-up for the newly joined players to adapt to the warm-up atmosphere of the game. It is a victory or defeat that needs to be brought up to help the team break the deadlock. Arteta knew in his heart what Donen meant, and he was placed with high hopes, but isn't professional players always like this? He doesn't care about these expectations and pressures because he knows that he won't let the coach down.

I am not a young boy who needs to prove myself. I have proved myself in Glasgow, Scotland. Now I only need to contribute my own strength.

From Arteta's first touch on the court, the familiar feeling returned to him, which was a feeling he had not found in Real Sociedad for half a season. He knew the football style here, he was familiar with the rhythm of the game here, and he knew what he should do every minute and every second on the field here... Perhaps, he was wandering outside all year round, from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, from France to Scotland. He had already made him feel unfamiliar with Spanish football, and he had a sense of affection for faster-paced English football?

Because Arteta appeared as a substitute Albertini, he naturally had to take on the responsibility of organizing the entire team's offense, so more balls were passed to his feet.

After a brief warm-up and getting familiar with each other, Arteta began to pass the ball forward. Actively participate in the organization of the offense.

After giving a few good passes in a row, his confidence quickly recovered. The Forest's offensive began to improve. Unlike Albertini, Arteta's dribbling and passing balls are more imaginative, and they will always pass wonderful passes from places that others cannot imagine. And if there are many short passes, when the ball reaches his feet, the Forest's offensive routine will be richer. Without blindly dividing the side and down the bottom, they can try to cooperate in the middle.

With ten minutes left in the game, Arteta's and Ribery's cooperation successfully deceived Villa's entire defense line. At the front of the penalty area, Arteta did not pass the ball immediately after getting the ball, and seemed to be waiting for someone. At this time, Ribery rushed forward from the left high speed. His move attracted the attention of Villa's right-back De La Cruz, and he had to retreat to prevent Ribery from breaking through this time.

But Arteta did not pass the ball to Ribery, but...

"Artetta! Direct pass! No, not Ribery, but... Eastwood!"

Arteta faced Ribery, but passed the ball to Eastwood, who was diagonally behind him!

The Gypsy turned out to be in an offside position because Villa's defenders moved forward. But Ribery's sudden forward force De La Cruz had to retreat. In this way, Eastwood no longer had offside. Arteta seized the moment in time and passed the ball to Eastwood behind the two central defenders.

Faced with such an opportunity, Eastwood was in a state in this game and could not waste it. He turned around and raised his foot and shot!

"Its_gooooooooooooal!! The third goal! This is Eastwood's first hat trick this season! So beautiful! Freddy Eastwood defeated Aston Villa alone. He is the best player in this game, well deserved...best!"

Donn jumped out of his seat. The goal made him so excited not only because they turned the defeat into victory, but because he saw Arteta's inspiration and the explosion of Eastwood. Who is he unhappy with such a rich harvest in a game?

After the game, Eastwood became the focus of media reports. Compared with George Wood, the Gypsy story is also quite legendary, and the media soon discovered that there was another story between Eastwood and George Wood, which greatly stimulated the gossip of the English tabloids.

Eastwood became a popular figure in Fleet Street, and the Forest team appeared on sports pages in many media.

Now Tony Donn's team has 43 points, and is still tightly chewing on Liverpool ahead. How many points are the same, it depends on who can't bear the pressure and lose first.
