Chapter 33 The Stubborn One

At 3:30 p.m. on May 11, the whistle of the kick-off was heard from nineteen Premier League stadiums at the same time. The last round of the 13-14 English Football Super League kicked off at the same time.

Every Nottingham Forest fan in the stands of the city stadium will prepare a radio with him and pay attention to two games at the same time. One is the game between Forest and Sunderland in front of them, and the other is Arsenal vs. Manchester City in London.

The radio said that Arsenal had been dominant from the beginning of the game, and the whole of Manchester City was not in shape. The Forest fans in the stands began to curse Manchester City and McLaren.

The game between Forest and Sunderland is still normal. In order to survive, Sunderland fought against Forest on the away game. Although Nottingham Forest was at home, it did not take the initiative on the field.

Tang En sat on the coach's seat, staring at the stadium with a stern face and without saying a word.

Chris Lark's mission is not here. He sits next to him, wearing headphones, and listening to the game broadcast on the radio. The expression on his face changes constantly with the commentary on the radio.

After listening for five minutes, he took off his headphones and said to Don next to him: "Arsenal has the advantage in all... Manchester City does not value this game at all..."

Tang En smiled: "It's quite normal, Manchester City has no reason to do their best in this game."

But he was gritting his teeth in his heart: Manchester City! I will meet you next time, let’s see how I will kill you!

His protection measures were done well. None of the Forest players knew about the situation at Manchester City and stepped onto the stadium with unlimited confidence and hope. He was deceiving his players at the time, but he couldn't tell them the truth before the game and then look at them deflated?

He can only hope that Manchester City can compete a little bit, now it seems that even this requirement has become a luxury...

McLaren, Manchester City... This time I really encountered the darkest combination that has never been seen in a thousand years.

"Stop worrying about Manchester City, others are always unreliable... Let our people step up their attacks. If Sunderland is always trying to keep doing this with us, the players' mentality will change unfavorably..." After saying that, Tang En stood up and walked to the sidelines. He didn't shout anything, didn't make gestures, but just stood there with his hands on his chest. He knew that the players knew what it meant when they saw him on the sidelines.

Subsequently, Nottingham Forest strengthened its offense, and more people were pressing on the offense, and the two full-backs also began to actively assist.

The commentator kept saying that Nottingham Forest and Sunderland are not the same team as the Forest team is far stronger than Sunderland. So there is no suspense in this game. The only uncertainty factor may be how many goals the Forest team can win...

Then he explained the game, but turned the topic to London. Speaking of the game between Arsenal and Manchester City. The Forest players on the court may not know what happened at the Emirates Stadium, but the audience will definitely know that even if the commentator doesn't say it, the Forest fans will hold TV remote controls and frequently change channels.

Ten minutes later, news of the goal came from the Emirates Stadium. As for the goalkeeper, there was no suspense at all. A scrolling subtitles were played at the bottom of the screen on the TV broadcast, prompting Arsenal to score in the 16-minute goal, and the goal scored was Van Persie.

After learning the news, a huge boo broke out in the stands of the City Stadium. Even when the Forest players were in control of the ball at this time, the boo sounded.

The players were stunned for a moment and knew what the reason was.

Chris Lak intends to inform Donn of the latest situation. But Donnn's gesture stopped: "Listen to this boo, I know everything."

Chris Lack was speechless.

Van Persie ran excitedly amid the deafening cheers of the audience, and behind him, Arsenal teammates clenched their fists and shouted loudly.

Wenger also rushed down from the coach's seat excitedly, jumping and jumping.

He really has reason to be happy.

Arsenal fans in the stands flocked to their heroes, wanting to be closer to their own. Everyone was shouting Van Persie's name.

On the other end of the stadium, Manchester City players did not respond to the loss, and their faces were hunched and they were not moved rather than saying that they were stunned.

Ashley Young sat on the bench with his head down. He didn't want people to see the smile on his face - this is Manchester City, this is the ambition to surpass Manchester United and Milan. Manchester City, who pulled Real Madrid off the throne of the world's best club!

McLaren was a little dissatisfied. Perhaps the reason for his dissatisfaction was because he lost the ball so early. Despite his dissatisfaction, he did nothing except verbally complaining on the coach's seat and didn't even get up.

Bentner stood in the middle circle waiting for the kickoff, and Robinho, who was standing opposite him, looked indifferent.

"Manchester City resisted symbolically for ten minutes." After the booing stopped, Chris Lack described the situation to Donne in detail. "They invested very little troops when they attacked, and the forwards lacked support in the front. The three lines were very separated. It seemed that they did not have a unified tactical idea. The back line wanted to defend, the forwards..." Speaking of this, he paused, "The commentator often mentioned that Bentner is the name that appears most frequently in Manchester City's team. He is very active, but he cannot get support from the midfield."

Donn did not comment on Bentner's performance, he just said, "Don't worry about them, we are still getting a draw..."

Sunderland was very fierce in robbing the ground, and he almost forced the whole game without considering whether the team could hold on. This kind of fighting has also brought considerable trouble to the Forest's offense. Whether it is the forward, the defender, or even the midfielder, he could hardly control the ball stably under such pressing. Not to mention the effective attack of the organization. The energy Sunderland burst out for survival has caused a headache for the whole team of Nottingham Forest.

In addition, when he learned that Arsenal was leading, his morale was a little shaken for a moment...

Some people may think: Arsenal leads, and even if we beat Sunderland, what's the point?

Others have focused on Arsenal and Manchester City's matches. Although they are in the city stadium, their hearts have already flown to the Emirates Stadium.

How can I play in such a game?

Tang En stood on the sidelines, frowning tightly.

This is not the game I want to see…Don En muttered in his heart.

Then he won the victory and called Wood's name: "George! You are the captain! Do something! Look at your team! Look at their eyes!!"

When Wood heard Tang En's voice, he also turned his head obediently to look, and found that everyone was a little absent-minded.

He is not the captain who likes to shout slogans on the court to cheer up morale. He prefers to express his meaning directly with actions than words.

So when Sunderland attempted to continue to use their pressing tactics to curb the Forest, George Wood immediately retaliated with a foul. This foul gave him a yellow card and collectively protested with the Sunderland players, but he won thunderous applause in the stands and the different eyes of his teammates.

After seeing him foul again, Don Eun continued to yell below: "Don't stand stupidly! This is our game! It's our own game! Score their goals! Bastards!"

Nottingham Forest, who was awakened by Don En, was excited and finally got their goal three minutes later.

The goal was Bale, who used a direct free kick to open Sunderland's goal. This is also in line with Sunderland's tactical characteristics - frequent pressing brings frequent fouls, especially fouls in dangerous areas, which gives the Forest a lot of opportunities for set-pieces. Before this goal, Bale had already obtained three direct free kick opportunities, two shots high, and one hit the wall directly.

This time, he finally seized the opportunity and kicked a beautiful direct free kick, bypassed the wall and drilled into the far post, and the goalkeeper could not save it. He could only watch the goal fall.

Huge cheers broke out in the stands, and the suppressed emotions of Nottingham Forest fans finally had a reason to release them. They celebrated in the stands and did not think about the fact that Arsenal is still ahead of Manchester City.

"Garrez Bale! Beautiful free kick! No matter what Arsenal plays with Manchester City, his goal allows Forest fans to take a breath!"

Bale was hugging his teammates. But his mind was thinking: I wonder if Shannon is watching this game...

This ball also released Don En's nervous mood. His own team was ahead of Sunderland, so he could start looking forward again... a miracle happened.

But he waved his fists hard on the sidelines and made Xianya in the box worry very much...

After Sunderland fell behind, there were also inspiring cheers at another stadium. That was Portsmouth's home court. Because Portsmouth fans knew very well that as long as Sunderland lost, Portsmouth and Tottenham would play the same result.

At this moment, the fans of Portsmouth were cheering for Nottingham Forest and forgot to pay attention to their own games. They even hope Nottingham Forest can win the league championship, and Portsmouth eventually stayed in the Super League. It was a great result.

In the Premier League, there are not many people supporting Nottingham Forest, and Portsmouth fans will not forget how the Forest scored six goals in the first half and humiliated them 7:4. But this time, they have to hold Nottingham Forest's thighs. At this time, perhaps they are the only supporters of Nottingham Forest, the Allies... and they are also the "Alliance" who can only shout slogans on their mouths.

Since the Forests leads Sunderland, according to this situation, Sunderland will not be able to pose any threat to the Forests. Fans of Nottingham Forest have begun to look forward to Manchester City being able to compete for some excitement. It would be good to be able to draw Arsenal. After all, Arsenal is only one goal ahead. Didn’t Tony Don always say that one goal leads is the most unsafe score in the world? Then let Arsenal see how it is not safe!

Unfortunately, their good wishes were lost.

Before the end of the first half, in the 44th minute, the Emirates Stadium passed the goal again. This time it was Arsenal who scored. Fabregas's long-range shot helped Arsenal lead 2:0 before the end of the first half.

The commentator in charge of commenting on the Forest team's game sighed after hearing the news: "The game has ended early and Arsenal won the league championship. Now no matter how many goals Nottingham Forest scores Sunderland, it is useless. I suddenly feel that Nottingham Forest is a bit tragic..."

Not to mention him, even the Forest fans who were watching the game in front of the TV were silent.

It seems that the league championship this season...is gone.

After hearing the news, Tang En stood on the sidelines, lowered his head, not allowing anyone to see his expression. He suddenly felt a burst of fatigue hit his heart.

It turns out that sometimes manpower is exhausted. Not everything in this world will be rewarded if you work hard...

It was only then that he realized that his shirt was soaked in sweat.

Until the end of the first half, he stood on the sidelines, his expression was dull and he didn't say a word.

There have been booing in the stands against Manchester City and Arsenal, but what's the use? They can't hear the booing here.

Bentner felt very harsh as he listened to the overwhelming cheers of the Emirates Stadium. Those voices were not cheering for Arsenal, but ruthlessly mocking Manchester City's weakness and incompetence. As a member of Manchester City, he was naturally ridiculed.

But he couldn't agree with this ridicule because he worked hard from beginning to end.  It was just a lack of support...

He glanced at the bench off the court. Ashley Yang was leaning on the chair, squinting his eyes as if he was asleep. It was a little hot this afternoon, so he could be so stable where he was. Sure enough, is he completely hopeless about Manchester City?

Bentner thought to himself if he was sure to leave the team next season, what would he do in this game?

The weather is so hot, and the sun makes people feel drowsy. If you can't run on the field, you won't run? If you don't work hard, you will be full of your mind. What about the new life in the future? You are indifferent to this game?

Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to verify it.

The whistle at the end of the first half was simply a natural sound in the ears of Manchester City players. They can finally return from the sun to the shaded locker room to enjoy a fifteen-minute rest time. As for this game... Arsenal is leading by two goals, are we still going to struggle to death?

When the referee blew the two whistles at the end of the first half, Don En was the first to turn from the sidelines toward the corridor. The fans in the stands were still booing and expressing dissatisfaction with Arsenal's game against Manchester City. But this sound was also very harsh to Don En.

He felt very tired and wanted to find something to help him.

If you give up, your heart may not have to suffer such torture, right?

No!

When entering the corridor, Tang En clenched his fists. He could even clearly hear the sound of his heartbeat.

I just like to make trouble for myself!

Before the last second comes, I will never give up!
Chapter completed!
