Chapter 176 Well done (2)
Chapter 176: Good job (Part 2)
Tang En held his hand on the shelf where the tactical board was placed, and the messy tactical board was placed at his feet. He stared at the ready players, speaking slowly but firmly: "I only have one requirement for this game - win!"
What? Nottingham Forest wants to win Manchester United?
If this sentence is said half a season ago, everyone who hears it will laugh out loud, just as if watching Mr. Bean's comedy is nonsensical.
But now that Nottingham Forest team says such words, I believe that not many people dare to doubt it.
In half a season, Donne spent half a season changing the impression of Forests in the eyes of others. If it is a weak team, how could he still firmly occupy one of the top six places in the league in the 34th round of the league and put Liverpool under his command? If it is a weak team, how could he remain unbeaten against the top four teams in the league so far? Against Arsenal, draw at home, win at home, draw at home, draw at home, draw at home, draw at Everton, draw at home, and win at home, this is the answer given by the young Forests. It is satisfying that there is no need to ask for more.
Before the game started, Ferguson and Donn shook hands on the sidelines with great grace and then said goodbye.
To be honest, Don Eun doesn't hate this old Scottish man at all. Although the other party has ridiculed him a lot, he is also ridiculing him. Football game, this kind of thing is normal. The ridicule between him and Ferguson has not yet developed to the level of Ferguson and Wenger.
If you don’t hate it or not, you should save face when you should save face.
In this game, Donn's Forest must win, and Manchester United want to win too.
With Chelsea, Arsenal also has one less game, with 67 points in 32 games. The fourth-placed Everton is 13 points away from Manchester United. It is really difficult to be reversed by Everton... Arsenal, second in the league, is only three points away. If Arsenal is defeated by Chelsea away, then Chelsea will announce the championship almost in advance. Manchester United will also have the same points as Arsenal, and in the remaining five rounds of the league, there is a great hope of overtaking.
Ferguson doesn't care whether he can win the league runner-up, he doesn't need such a false reputation. He doesn't care that there is actually no difference between second and third in the league. If Newcastle is ranked second in the league, Ferguson probably won't have any idea. But Arsenal is the one who is on the top of Manchester United. Ferguson will not allow such a thing to happen - Manchester United will pull Arsenal down and rank above the opponent no matter what.
Because both teams want to win, the game has been in a fierce confrontation since the first second. In this game, Tangen and Ferguson both lined up the strongest lineup. Tangen is for survival. After winning the top four leagues, being qualified for the Champions League, and being qualified for the Champions League, there will be more bonuses and dividends, and having more money can buy more and better players, which can allow the small club Forest team to gradually achieve that great goal...
Ferguson is for honor. He will never allow himself to lose to Wenger.
The game has only started twenty minutes. Although neither side scored goals, the total number of shots has reached twenty-four times. Average twelve times per team. Nottingham Forest 14 times and Manchester United ten times. Manchester United offside is slightly more than Forest, 3:2. Although the data is boring, it can intuitively reflect the intensity of the game.
Forests faces strong opponents at home, but is not conservative at all. They have shown offensive football momentum and want to overwhelm Manchester United. Manchester United is also not to be outdone. Ferguson is not a person who likes to pretend to be grandchildren. If the opponent shows a strong side in front of him, then Manchester United will also use a stronger momentum to overwhelm his opponent. Wenger's Arsenal is unwilling to bow to Manchester United. He always wants to suppress Manchester United and unify the Premier League, so Ferguson and Wenger took it on.
Both teams have the temperament of unwilling to admit defeat in front of the strong, and they both have to be strong, and the stronger they will be. This game is natural for Mars to hit the earth - it is intense.
Sky TV's live broadcast plan is not this game, but another Chelsea plays against Arsenal at home. Although the sense that the results of the two games can determine, the home game between Forest and Manchester United is more important, but who makes more things outside the football field between Arsenal and Chelsea?
Mourinho has only been in the Premier League for less than a season. He has offended all the people he can offend. Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez, and Tony Donne. Sky TV chose to broadcast this game live because Mourinho and Wenger looked down on each other, and such a game must be popular.
Unfortunately, they all guessed wrongly.
The game between Arsenal and Chelsea is very dull. If Arsenal wants to win, Chelsea just needs to draw. So Mourinho's team set up an iron barrel formation and let Arsenal attacks outside, surging, and he just can't come out. There is no appreciation value for the game without an offensive. The commentator Andy Gray yawned and pulled his headphones. He muttered, covering the microphone, "If I had known, I might as well explain another game!"
The other game he mentioned is naturally the match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United.
Judging from the data of each field transmitted simultaneously, the game between Forest and Manchester United is indeed fierce. When the first half is one minute to end, the two sides have already tied 2:2. And Stamford Bridge is still 0:0. It's really boring enough...
The first half was over, and Andy Gray watched Martin Taylor take off his headphones and handed him a glass of water.
"Thanks. "
Gray shook his head: "Off-court factors, off-court factors... So what about the off-court factors in this game? I can't even tell which game is important, what are the idiots on TV station thinking."
Taylor smiled and put the empty water cup back: "Don't complain, you may explain his game next season until you vomit."
Gray said seriously: "This is impossible, he is an interesting guy."
When the two commentators were evaluating Done privately, the first half of the game at the City Stadium had just ended. The electronic scoreboard score was 2:2. The Forest team scored one goal each by Viduka and Crouch, and Manchester United was not showing any weakness. Every time the Forest team took the lead, they always tied the score quickly. Their strong ground forward combination - Van Nisstruy and Rooney.
After all, Yero is old. He seems a little overwhelmed when facing Rooney's impact. Fortunately, George Wood knows what to do. He doesn't need head coach Don't yell, so he will take the initiative to help Yero share some defensive pressure.
During the break, Don Eun praised the players for their performance, even though they allowed their opponents to score two goals in half a long time.
"I did a good job, continue to play like this in the second half!"
After the second half, Forests had the home advantage. Amid the shouts of nearly 30,000 fans, they launched a wave of offensives against Manchester United's penalty area. Without Van der Sar, Manchester United's defense still had big problems. Ferguson also knew this, so he did not intend to reclaim the defense in the second half, but made the exact same choice as Don Eun - continue to strengthen their strengths and attack.
Donn replaced Arteta and continued to strengthen his offense, while Ferguson replaced Alan Smith. They are all offensive players.
Attack. The fans were so happy, and the two head coaches always stood on the sidelines with frowns, closely watching all the changes in the field.
The pace of offense and defense conversion has accelerated, and both sides have made more active mistakes. The scene looks very good, but the technical and tactical content has been reduced.
Don Eun has no good tactics to use. He believes that Ferguson is the same. The head coach can do very little in this kind of competition. He relies more on the performance of players on the court.
A flash of inspiration may determine the outcome of the game.
Arteta suddenly dribbled the ball and broke through the middle, and Roy Kean stepped forward to stop the opponent. After seeing Kean coming, Arteta suddenly passed the ball out. It was passed to Ribery. After receiving the ball, Ribery did not make a cross from the bottom, but was under the clamping of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gary Neville, and suddenly cut inward and rushed into the penalty area!
This change was beyond Manchester United's expectations, and they hurriedly mobilized a large number of troops to surround and block. After Ribery attracted three Manchester United defensive players, he did not continue to break through. Instead, he made a fake move and passed the ball to the top of the penalty area.
"Mickel Arteta!"
Arteta kept shooting from a long shot!
Keane didn't expect Ribery to pass the football back so quickly. He didn't expect Arteta to not run into the penalty area, but instead stopped outside and waited for the pass...
Carroll's reaction was extremely fast. He saved the ball hard and really managed to save the ball. But the ball did not fly out of the bottom line, but bounced back into it. The football jumped high, and when everyone could only look up, Crouch rose up and smashed the ball into the unguarded Manchester United goal without anyone being disturbed without anyone being good at!
Stamford Bridge. Andy Grey yawned. The score was still 0:0. No matter how powerful the media hype was before the game. This game was not worth the price of its ticket. The subtitles under a small monitor placed in front of him attracted his attention:
Nottingham Forest 3:2 Manchester United. Goal scorer: Pitt Crouch, 79th minute.
His eyes glared.
The cheers at the city stadium continued from Crouch's goal until the end of the game. Manchester United tried every means to break through the Forest's defense again, and could only accept the result helplessly.
Ferguson stood in front of Donn and stretched out his hand to him with a stern face: "Every time I see you so young, I will wonder... Am I too old?"
"Ah...this..." Tang En didn't know what to say. Logically speaking, he won the ball, so he should say something nice to comfort Ferguson. But he always felt that Ferguson was not the type of loser who needed the winner to comfort him.
"Just kidding. Seeing you, my retirement plan is delayed again." The old coach slapped Don En's palm with force, then turned around and took the Manchester United coaching staff into the player corridor.
Tang En watched Ferguson leave, then turned around and looked at the excited players.
Chapter completed!
