Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 169: Volume 2 Nottingham's Sky Crack (Part 2)

McLaren is now riding a tiger. He can't decompress the players, let these people relax, and can't continue to stimulate the tight nerves of these people, for fear that someone has a weak psychological quality, breaks an own goal, or returns a mistake. damn.

At this time, you can neither say to these players "being down on the outcome", nor can you say "absolutely not to lose." You can't use the intermission to inspire players' morale, which is really a headache. In fact, McLaren knew that there was only one way to reduce the psychological burden of players and free them from this vicious circle of mental state-to score a goal for the Forest.

As long as the goal is scored, there are no problems. The pressure to win, the fierce pressing of the opponent... all disappeared.

This is a problem for McLaren. If scoring is so easy, the score of the football match will have to be in line with basketball.

Want to change the situation on the court through substitutions, it seems not feasible now. What can he expect?

A, the current performance of eleven players on the field; B, the opponent's coach makes a faint move; C, the opponent player makes a mistake to give a gift; D, the set kick.

To be honest, McLaren does not have much hope for the performance of his own players. This is quantitative, not variable. What are variables? Tony Dunn was taken over by the atmosphere of the finals, misjudged the situation on the court and made inexplicable adjustments. Under the continuous attack of Middlesbrough, the opposing player's pressure of letting go and the pressure in his heart are increasing, overwhelmed, making mistakes, and then crashing...

Thinking of this, McLaren's eyes lit up. Why not? Own players are under great pressure because they can't start the game too late. Why don’t the opposing players feel stressed because they need to be on guard at all times and always think not to lose the ball? See how they bend over and bow their heads when they are off the court, panting. Tony Dunn’s tactics are too demanding for players. Whether in terms of physical strength or psychological quality, McLaren doesn’t think the Forest team can consistently implement this tactic.

So as long as you have enough patience, you can continue to use your offense to harass the forest team's defense line, and when their confidence and will begin to shake, they will suddenly launch a fatal blow!

The game is over...

McLaren, who had a clear tactical intention in his mind, breathed a sigh of relief. He knew what to say to these players.

"I said... Now someone is beginning to doubt that we can't win this final? Did you shake your confidence and fighting spirit earlier than our opponents?"

The players who were originally downcast looked up at their coach, and the young coach Steve McLaren who also convinced them with his results. Seeing the renewed smile on the boss's face, their confidence was restored.

"No, boss. No one gave up the game." The captain of the team, their goalkeeper Schwartz stood up and said.

At the beginning of the second half, Dunn found that Middlesbrough had strengthened the offense. They seemed to be fighting the “wall defense” of Nottingham Forest. McLaren didn’t let his team slow down and fell, but instead turned the offense. The pace is quickened. Fast out the ball, fast pass and cut, fast shot, the direction of the pass has changed from horizontal to vertical, and the forward pass has obviously increased.

This is also a way, but Dunn is not very worried. The advantage of the wall method is not in speed, but in thickness and formation stability. Immovable as a mountain is the best description of this kind of let-off tactic, in order to remain unchanged in response to changes.

As long as he guards the opening ten minutes, the rhythm will only slowly fall into his grasp for the rest of the game. The one who needs to worry about not scoring a goal is not him sitting firmly on the coaching bench, but McLaren's team.

But just ten minutes into the second half of the game, he jumped from his seat.

After Middlesbrough stole the ball, a long pass from his own half went directly to the forest team's defense line. John Thompson, who has always been calm, made a mistake! The extremely fast Tangning started from behind while his teammates passed the ball. When Thompson fell on top, he just rushed through the forest team's last line of defense!

The Middlesbrough fans in the stands jumped up from their seats, raised their arms and cheered! This is an excellent opportunity for them to wait for fifty-five minutes!

Tangning just stopped the ball and planned to break through inward. Suddenly felt a gust of wind in front of him, a black shadow flashed, and then the ball under his feet disappeared, and he was suddenly knocked out... At that moment he felt as if he was hit by a boulder. He rolled painfully on the ground, and the football had already flown out of the bottom line.

"Damn foul——!!!" All Middlesbrough fans yelled.

"Follow your mother's rules——!!!" This is the counterattack of Nottingham Forest fans.

The coaches of both sides stood up from their seats almost at the same time, waiting nervously for the referee's decision.

The referee ran forward, pointing his finger at the flag-"This is a corner kick! What an incomprehensible penalty...Look at the expressions of the Middlesbrough players, there was a huge boo in the stadium the year before last!"

Because the goal in the second half of Nottingham Forest was close to the Middlesbrough fan area, it was suddenly overwhelmed by boos. Players from Middlesbrough rushed to surround the referee, they couldn't believe their eyes! How could this ball be a corner kick! ? This is clearly a collision! And absolutely unreasonable!

McLaren turned angrily from below and hit the roof of the coaching bench with a punch. He, like his players, cannot understand the referee's decision. Didn't the **** referee see Tangning even turn twice in the air? Roll from inside the stadium to the outside! How do his eyes grow? The angry Middlesbrough coach nodded his eyes with **** in protest.

But Dunn took a deep breath and sat down. Although Wood is young and has not played many games in the first team, he is the core of this defensive strategy. His tireless running and rough defense are important to deter the opponent. If he is sent off with a red card, his defensive system will collapse. Without his large-scale running and interception in the middle, this wall is nothing more than a hollow wall, and it falls down with a single jab.

The referee must have been confused by Wood's speed, or his active performance in the first half gave the referee some inertial thinking.

But this danger has passed, and there are even greater dangers waiting for Dunn and his forest team.

"George Wood made a dangerous defense. Fortunately, the referee didn't pursue it. Judging from the replay, Wood did touch the ball first, but his defensive moves were too big and very aggressive. Michaela Lun has enough reasons to complain-this could have been a turning point in the game, leaving the Forest team with one less absolute defensive core, falling in the scene and numbers. But now his team only gets a corner kick, and the first half is up So far the most active Tangning is still undergoing treatment off the court! Listen to the boos of the Millennium Stadium!" Even with soundproof headphones, Andy Gray can hardly hear himself speaking, he has to comment. Time to increase the volume and contend with those crazy Middlesbrough fans.

In fact, McLaren doesn't need to be so angry. Although he didn't let the Forest team down, it took him at least fifty-five minutes to finally break a crack in the thick and hard wall. Will this be the beginning of the full collapse of the forest wall?

Steve McLaren and Tony Dunn’s two coaches have to think about it.
