Godfather Of Champions

Chelsea’s players and fans certainly have reason to doubt the referee’s decision. They can say that the rain is slippery, and Ferreira did not shovel Ribery at all. He slipped and fell by himself, or Ribery flopped off. ball. But their doubts or even protests cannot change the current results.

Just eleven minutes into the game, right back Paul Ferreira was dismissed by the referee with a red card because of a shovel from behind, and a penalty was awarded to Nottingham Forest.

Ribery, who was knocked down, was lying on the sidelines and was being treated by the team doctor. It didn't seem that the situation was serious. Ferreira stood up and looked at the red card held high by the referee, her eyes confused. He is now in a mess in his head. Not only was he sent off with a red card, but he also gave the opponent a penalty, putting Chelsea at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and scores.

Mourinho, who saw the scene off the court, pressed his lips tightly. Ferreira was brought from Porto. He is one of his most trusted players in the new club. After all, he is an old subordinate. Therefore, he puts William Gallas, Glen Johnson does not use, insists on using Ferreira, just hoping to let himself occupy the main position of Chelsea's first team, so that he will be strong. However, I did not expect that the outstanding performance in Porto, so eye-catching Ferreira arrived in London, he was unable to adapt to the style of English football, playing worse than the game, in the end he simply lost confidence.

Maybe it's time to give up Ferreira...

"Red card! Penalties! Look at this chaotic scene... Paul Ferreira's performance is a mess! This poor Portuguese can't keep up with Ribery's rhythm and speed at all. A foul can end this failed game."

Seeing the referee's stern expression, Ferreira didn't even have the strength to defend himself, so he turned and walked off the court.

In Nottingham Forest, when the team doctor told Dunn Ribery that there was no problem with his ankle, he let out a sigh of relief. With his outstanding performance, the French has become the absolute main force of the Forest team. If he has any shortcomings, the forest team's offensive power will be greatly reduced.

Now that Ribery is okay, and Chelsea is not only one less person, but also sentenced to a penalty kick, the situation is very favorable for the Forest team.

Eastwood put the football on the penalty spot, then stepped back and prepared to shoot.

Standing in front of him was Czech genius goalkeeper Cech, a big man with a height of 1.97 meters, strong and quick. When he opened his arms and stood in front of the goal, the goal seemed to be completely sealed.

There is still a trace of luck left in the hearts of Chelsea people-penalty kicks are not a 100% goal rate, plus the rain is slippery, maybe Eastwood has not stood firm, slipped and shot?

But Eastwood soon burst the bubble of their fantasy himself.

After the referee's whistle sounded, he made a powerful and fast approach and then volleyed!

Cech judged the wrong direction, he tried his best to pounce to the right of the goal, but the football flew to the center.

"The goal is scored! 1:0! Nottingham Forest is leading Chelsea at home!"

There was a huge roar from the stands of the City Stadium. They were still calling Brian Clough's name just now, but now they stomped and slapped their feet and cheered for Freddie Eastwood.

When the Forest team celebrated the goal, Mourinho entangled the fourth official and protested to him the referee's unfair penalty. The fourth official warned Mourinho to be careful not to talk nonsense if there is no conclusive evidence. Moreover, the referee is the rule on the court, and his sentence cannot be changed.

Dunn didn't care about Mourinho's purpose in doing this. After celebrating the goal with the members of the coaching staff, he simply stood on the sidelines and supervised the battle. Now his team is leading by one goal and the opponent is one less person. The situation is in his own favor. What he needs to watch out for is Mourinho's counterattack to remind the players to stay normal.

When the players were standing on the court again and ready to kick-off, Dunn yelled from the sidelines to attract the attention of the Forest team players, then he pressed his hands down and made a "steady down" gesture.

The most dangerous moment is often when your team has just taken the lead. It is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity to equalize the score due to lack of unity of thought and lack of concentration. The morale blow is huge.

In addition to stabilizing his players, Dunn doesn't need to do anything. The team is in good condition. He just needs to wait quietly for Mourinho to make adjustments.

Mourinho quickly made his own adjustments. He replaced forward Kežman with William Gallas. Now the first thing he needs to consider is that he can no longer lose the ball, not how many goals he has to win the Forest team...

The core of Chelsea's midfielder is Lampard, but his main role is not to organize points, but to score. It can even be said that Lampard is completely famous because of Mourinho's tactical arrangements.

Dunn allowed Albertini to defend Lampard in this game, mainly to prevent Lampard from scoring a goal after being inserted. Lampard is not an organizational midfielder. If he is asked to pass or something, his threat value will be discounted.

It turned out that Dunn was still worried that Albertini could not deal with it alone, but now he is no longer worried. Chelsea is one less person, forced to replace a forward and a defender, the forest team's defensive pressure is much less. So he adjusted his strategy, George Wood still defended Drogba with Pique, and Lampard handed over to Albertini and Matthew Epson.

Chelsea, with one less person, resolutely played a long backfield pass to find Drogba. After losing the ball, the forest team's defensive pressure suddenly increased.

What is there to say?

No technical content, but very effective. This is the case with long passes in England.

Drogba's body and header ability allow him to act as a very qualified center forward. Because Kežman was replaced, Lampard inserted more frequently, almost equivalent to a forward. Drogba would always hold the ball and then find Lampard. Pikwe did not have the upper hand in a head-on confrontation with him. He had too much experience and suffered a little physically. And if Wood and Pikwe are both defending, they also have to face a coordination problem.

Terry kicked the ball in the backcourt, and then went to Drogba.

The African leaned on Pikwe, not letting him go around, and then jumped to catch the ball. Pique, who was squeezed behind him, could only helplessly watch the African jump up and push the ball out.

Lampard received the ball under the interference of Albertini. Instead of taking the middle, he took it diagonally to the right. Drogba, who passed the ball to Lampard just now, turned and ran towards the goal, ready to receive Lampard's pass.

George Wood looked at the situation and decided to follow Dunn's instructions and follow Drogba into the penalty area.

The forest team's defensive attention was put on Drogba and Lampard, but the penalty area was empty. Lampard sent a cross in a very timely manner. The target was not Drogba in front of the goal, but Joe Cole outside the penalty area!

"Chelsea's chance!"

Joe Cole suddenly appeared in the middle and killed Nottingham Forest by surprise. Epson turned and pounced on him, but the distance was too far to block Joe Cole's shot.

Seeing Joe Cole stretched his right leg facing the football, Mourinho stood up abruptly from the coach's bench, staring at the goal of Nottingham Forest with wide eyes.

"Direct...Volley!!"

Joe Cole's long-range shot is very nerve-racking. When he is not working, he is always a world wave. When he is not working, there is no threat. So is it working or not working this time?

The football flew over the head of Matthew Epson who blocked the shot, over the fingertips of Darren Ward who jumped up, and over the crossbar... the shot was high!

The city court made a huge inhalation sound, and this shot just flew off the crossbar, which was really thrilling.

"Damn it! I missed someone again!" Dunn complained from the coaching bench, it was a blessing not to lose the ball. "The defensive line is always not focused enough, David, this is our old problem."

"Tony, I think this problem cannot be solved through training, but there are two ways that may be very effective. First, keep accumulating game experience and know when to stay focused; second, during the intermission Use your roar and saliva to make the boys sober." Chris Lak laughed.

Dunn scratched his head: "I'm afraid it will be too late if I wait for the intermission."

He got up and walked to the sidelines, then took a deep breath, and shouted at the court: "The person who is watching you! Don't let him disappear from your sight! Stare at them! Kill them!"

He hit his palm with a punch.

When Joe Cole shot the football out, Mourinho thought the ball would be the best one, but he didn't expect it to fly out against the crossbar. It could be seen that he was leaning against the back of the chair abruptly, stomping his feet vigorously, and tilting his head and cursing silently.

He happened to see Dunn who was standing on the sidelines and roaring loudly.

Kill us?

He squinted at Dun En, frowned and pursed his mouth.

Don't think that one goal ahead and one more person than us can win the game.

He also got up and walked to the sidelines, then extended **** to the two full-backs, pointed in the direction of the Forest team's goal, and signaled them to actively advance. Don't worry that the space behind you will be used by your opponents. If the Senli team dares to attack from the wing, we will use our attack to push them back!

※※※

For most of the rest of the first half, Chelsea, who was one less man, had the advantage. They suppressed the forest team's half-time bombardment. The Blues, who were behind and one less man, seemed to be agitated.

Dunn firmly believes that there is a team with a kind of personality as a coach. Chelsea in the previous Ranieri era had a lion in the logo, but it was soft like a cat. Now this Chelsea, since Mourinho took over, the personality of the Portuguese has gradually been burned up. Unruly, arrogant, arrogant and arrogant... Such a team is more capable of erupting a powerful combat force in a difficult situation-because they will never be defeated by a newly promoted horse.

Dunn knew this, so he reminded the players loudly after Joe Cole took a shot that this was a sign of Chelsea's counterattack.

The current forest team has angered a fierce beast, which is the most dangerous moment. Chelsea's offensive wave after wave, Drogba created a very big problem for the forest team's defense. With this inexperienced line of defense, it is really difficult to completely defend Drogba and Lampard.

"Lampard shot long distance! Darren Ward tried to save!"

"Drogba headed for the goal! The angle is tricky, close at hand! Darren Ward has given up... Ah! But the goalpost helped him!"

"Joe Cole...beautiful technique, passed! Facing Matthew Epson, passing the ball on the heel! Frank Lampard-this time it is Pique! The Spanish teenager blocked Lampard's body with his body Shot hard! He was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. The referee Ball was beckoning the team doctor to pass... This was really a fierce game. Chelsea shot one foot after another, leaving the Forest team completely out of breath! George. Wood and Albertini’s midfielders also lost control under the strong offensive of the Blues. Chelsea’s offensive was almost unimpeded! Nottingham Forest lost their most important position. It looks bad."

While Pikwe was undergoing a check by the team doctor on the field, Dunn called Albertini over, using very simple English words and gestures to tell him: "After stealing the ball, try to move forward with your foot as much as possible. The control of the ball stays on the pass. Chelsea presses hard and grabs fiercely. The football stays under our feet for one second, and the threat to our goal is one second. Play simpler and see the tall man. Has Crouch? Give him the ball!"

Albertini nodded, indicating that he understood. So Dunn patted him on the shoulder and sent him back.

With the help of the team doctor, Pi Kui stood up with his chest, bent over and walked off the field, possibly requiring further treatment. Maybe it's just a ritual-even if the injured player is all right, he must leave the field first, accompanied by the team doctor, and then stand on the sidelines, waiting for the referee's permission to enter the field.

Chelsea's Joe Cole ran to the corner, ready to take the corner.

Dunn stood on the sidelines and watched nervously at the crowded and chaotic door. Chelsea would definitely take advantage of Pikwe’s departure... as expected! He saw Mourinho also waved vigorously from the sidelines to greet Carvalho and Terry behind him.

"This bastard..." Dunn murmured, then he also shouted loudly: "Crouch! Go back, go back to defend!"
