Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 221: Volume 3 Red Forest Start (Part 1)

Although Nottingham Forest is just a newly promoted horse and their opponent Arsenal is the defending champion, it is no exaggeration to say that this game is the most watched game in the Premier League this round.

Sky TV selected this game to broadcast live across England. I believe that even if it is not Arsenal fans, there are many people who are interested in whether this dusty 25-year record can be broken.

"Forty-three, this is a very attractive number. As long as Wenger's team does not lose to Nottingham Forest here, they will set a new record. But Arsenal must be careful, this is also a sweet trap. "Taylor sat in the commentary booth and started to work, telling the audience his analysis of the game through the microphone. "I don't think Coach Tony Dunn will watch his opponent score a three-pointer at the Forest's home court."

Andy Gray added: "Yes, he is like a bulldog."

"Andy, a very vivid metaphor."

The pair laughed.

The two commentators can take time to make jokes, but the players on the field don't even have time to breathe. The moment the game is sounded from the whistle, it enters the state.

As a result of guessing the coin, Arsenal got the right to serve. But less than a minute after they just drove the football out, the ball was lost. Of course, the Forest team did not get either...

Because of replacing Vieira's position, the young Fabregas will inevitably shoulder the responsibility of organizing the offense. Most of Arsenal's **** have to be handed over to him, especially the kick-off.

But when Fabregas had just stopped the ball, he saw the number 13 George Wood rushing up from the opposite side.

Dunn’s task for Wood in this game is to help Albertini if ​​there is enough energy to watch Fabregas. Even though Fabregas is still young, it may be incomprehensible for Dunn to care about the child so much in the eyes of others. But Dunn himself knew the energy of this child, and if people didn't care about it, he would suffer sooner or later.

Albertini's task is also more focused on defense. After all, the Forest team is facing a super attacking Arsenal-the league has only started two rounds and Arsenal has scored nine goals, 4:1 Win Everton, 5:3 win Middlesbrough.

The starting lineup sent by Arsenal in this game is basically not much different from the previous two rounds. Goalkeeper German Lehmann, left back Lauren, the center back did not do well because of Campbell's injury, Sagan and Toure partnered, left back is Ashley Cole. The four people arranged by midfielder Arsenal are Pennant, Gilberto Silva, Fabregas and Pires. The forward partners are their captain Henry and veteran Bergkamp.

This lineup must be vigorous, vigorous, and experienced. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two teams, Wenger does not think how strong the Forest team will be. What made him feel a little uneasy is that Arsenal played at the home game of the Forest, and according to rumors, Tony Dunn is very important to the home game.

In addition, from the performance of Dunn before the game, Wenger will not think that the Forest team will comfort Arsenal at home to create a new record.

In this game, he hopes to put the rhythm into his track at the beginning of the game, the next thing is very simple. His Arsenal are always good at controlling the situation, allowing the game to enter its own rhythm, into the rhythm of Arsenal...

But obviously Dunn knew this very well, he didn't want to give up the rhythm of the game from the beginning. Don't Arsenal like to control the scene? Don’t you emphasize beautiful football? My team has no other ability to disrupt the first class!

George Wood has good physical fitness and good health, so he is responsible for destruction. Look for Fabregas and deal with him like you did in the youth team.

Judging from the opening dozens of seconds, Wood did a good job.

The Spanish teenager just stopped the football and Wood has rushed to him. He slammed and smashed the ball sharply, intending to sway the menacing opponent, but Wood's left foot dragged behind and caught Fabregas's foot. The football was dunked, but the people stayed. The referee's whistle sounded in time, and the applause from the stands was not for him, but for George Wood.

Who doesn't like the players who have been cultivated by their own youth team and are firmly seated in the first team?

Seeing Fabregas tripped over by George Wood, Wenger sat on the coach's bench and glanced at Tony Dunn. Was this the tactical tone of the Forest team in this game?

He decided to observe for another ten minutes.

※※※

In these ten minutes, the Forest team thoroughly implemented Dunn's "destructive" tactics. He never thought about overwhelming Arsenal on offense, or who has a higher ball possession rate than Arsenal, who has more passes with one foot... If Arsenal likes to play comfortably, the Forest team will not. Let you get what you want.

Dunn requires everyone in the team except the goalkeeper to actively press for defense, starting from the frontcourt, and never let Arsenal pass the ball, control it, and bring it up. Otherwise, the Forest team will only have to chase the ball behind someone else's ass.

If the current Forest team wants to compete with Arsenal, there is only one way to go.

In the tactical preparation class the day before, Dunn spent a red line on the tactical board, just in front of the top of the opponent's penalty area. He told the players that this is the forest team's first line of defense. "The defense should start from the opponent's penalty zone." He said so, and the players did the same.

Ten minutes, ten minutes, when the score of this game is played at the bottom of the screen, it is still 0:0. Arsenal have the upper hand in possession rate, 54% to 46%, shooting, Arsenal twice, Forest team is once. For the number of fouls, the Forest team has four times, and Arsenal has not once.

This simple statistics is enough to summarize what happened on the field in the past ten minutes?

The Arsenal admirers in front of the TV did not see the hearty victory they expected, or the typical Arsenal style game. Mistakes, fouls, whistles that interrupt the game from time to time, the forest fans in the stands sing more and more...what else?

King Henry of Highbury broke through from the left and then cut inside? Pires skilfully passes and runs between the left and Henry? Pennant's sharp breakthrough on the wing? Bergkamp’s amazing skills? Ashley Cole's back-in assist?

No, nothing.

Dunn may be the person in the world who knows Wenger's trust and respect for Fabregas best besides Wenger himself. He knows that Vieira's injury may be considered bad news in the hearts of Arsenal fans, but for Wenger, it is an opportunity for Fabregas to establish his position in a legitimate way.

Arsenal's offense must be initiated by Fabregas. All the **** in the offense will be given to him first, and then he will decide the direction and method of the offense, whether it is a long pass or a short pass that penetrates behind him. If you have the opportunity to fight back quickly, you should first settle down and wait for the support of your teammates... These are all given to the seventeen-year-old Francesca Fabregas.

Such a big task, but he didn't change people to do it because he was young. Now that he has replaced Vieira's position on the field, he must fulfill the responsibility of Vieira.

In the first two rounds of Arsenal's victories, although Fabregas did not score a goal, his role on the court is indeed obvious to all. The media has already begun to eagerly wear the title of "Vieira successor" in Spain. On the young man's head.

Dunn asked George Wood to implement a man-to-man defense against Fabregas. No matter where he is, as long as he receives the ball, he must push him up immediately, and don't be afraid of defensive loss. When Wood pressed on to defend Fabregas, Ribery was about to make up the middle.

First of all, Arsenal can't enter their familiar rhythm, and then the Forest team looks for opportunities to fight back in the chaos... It all depends on Albertini's level. Dunn believed in Italians just as he believed in George Wood. One of the Forest's first ten minutes of shooting came from Albertini's long pass after stealing from the backcourt.

Seeing the game develop like this, Wenger can be sure what Tony Dunn is thinking. But instead of getting up and going to the sidelines to make any adjustments, he turned to the assistant coach Pat_Rice who was sitting next to him and said, "What do you think, Pat?"

"I think Dunn's tactics against us are no different from most other opponents." Les expressed his views.

"If the game is only ten minutes, he does better than other opponents."

"Do you want to make any changes, Arthur?"

"No..." Wenger put his chin on his palm and shook his head. "No, it's too early. Their tactics also have shortcomings. Every time No. 13 goes forward to defend Fabregas, there will be behind him. Freedom... Observe and observe again. If Cesk can't handle it alone, let Dennis help him."

Pat Rice nodded and wrote Wenger's words in the notebook in his hand.
