Godfather Of Champions

Leading by one goal, Arsenal can justify Shunde to start their long-prepared defensive counterattack. Dunn doesn't think that Arsenal are not good at playing defensive counterattacks, just look at the Arsenal in his memory that broke into the Champions League final this season. For Wenger's team, it is not whether it is possible or not, but a question of whether it wants or not.

If Wenger is determined to fight back with himself in this game, then Henry must be an important figure.

Dunn considered it for a while and decided not to make any adjustments for the time being, Henry could trap him by the entire line of defense. And Wood's goal is still Fabregas.

However, we can't blame Wood for losing the ball just now. At that time, he chose to defend Henry was correct. After all, Henry was more threatened. It can only be said that Henry is a real world-class player, and one person has changed everything. Of course, the contribution of head coach Arthur Wenger cannot be ignored. It was his lackluster Arsenal who built this pleasing team into today’s pleasing team. This attack reveals a very obvious Arsenal style. It is difficult to describe the exquisiteness of this goal in words. People can learn from these three. Arsenal players feel the poetic rhythm in their running, very clear and smooth, which is refreshing.

In comparison, football in Nottingham Forest is not artistic at all.

It is the team's head coach that determines the team's character. With the elegant Wenger coaching Arsenal, the Gunners have become synonymous with elegance and art. And the profiteering Dunn became the head coach of Nottingham Forest, and the team's utilitarianism became stronger.

Dunn stood up from his seat, he knew that the game had entered Wenger's plan, and he had to play with him now. But he was unwilling to let the game just come to an end, there is no airtight defense in the world, and there is no goal that cannot be opened. As long as the Forest team continues to attack and seize an opportunity, the balance of victory can be tilted again.

In the past, he used to rely on defense to solve problems. In today's game, the key to solving problems is offense.

How powerful can the attack power of Nottingham Forest be?

※※※

Arsenal, who scored the goal, withdrew slightly, paying attention to defense. The forest team began to press on. Even George Wood was over halftime, approaching Arsenal's penalty area.

Arteta crossed Edu in the frontcourt, and then suddenly kicked up to hit the goal. Lehmann pounced very beautifully but failed to control the ball. He jumped off hastily and he could only choose to play the football. But the forest team's offensive did not end there.

Ashley Young received the football played by Lyman on the wing and didn't let it go out of bounds, then turned around and crossed. The football flew to Arsenal again, and Viduka reached the football under Durd's close defense. Unfortunately, his header went slightly wide.

“Forest’s offense is actually quite monotonous.” Wenger sat on the coach’s bench and told Pat Rice. “Since Dunn has been coaching the team, he has spent most of his energy on defense, making him the first to enter the Premier League. In the season, the Forest team's fourth place has nothing to do with their offensive power. The most scoring goal was just the Crystal Palace, which played poorly on the away game. The Forest team scored four goals. They can participate in the Champions League this season. It's defense. In the middle of the league, they had a record of not losing a goal in eight consecutive rounds, and the highest score of the Forest team in a single game in those eight rounds was only 2:0. 1:0, 2:0, 1:1...This is the most common score in the season."

Pat Rice looked at Wenger in an incredible way. He didn't expect this Frenchman to know so much about his opponent's data. I'm afraid that these things are something Dunn could not say casually, right?

"The situation has not changed this season. Dunn's defense of the Forest team has been very successful. Although the young defense will make mistakes, he made up for this weakness as a whole. Now they have conceded 33 goals and most of them are still In the last few rounds, the team lost concentratedly. Because the Forest team was distracted by the Champions League, the team could not keep up. Although Arteta was slowly corrected, the Forest team’s offensive routine has not changed much. The road breakthrough plus the mid-range attack are very patterned. And unlike the overall defense in the defense, the Forest team's offense seems to rely more on the individual performance of certain players..." Wenger said, squeezing his chin.

"Arthur..."

"Ok?"

"You... probably have better knowledge of Nottingham Forest than Tony Dunn, right?"

Wenger smiled when he heard Rice say this: "My understanding of that team is only in terms of statistics. The statistics are there. Anyone who wants to understand can understand me to this extent. And Tony Dunn Ah, what he understands is deeper things, such as... the soul of a team."

Les looked at him.

"That's why, I know the Forest team so much, but I'm still Arsenal coach, he is the reason why Nottingham Forest coach."

When Wenger analyzed the Nottingham Forest one by one like a cat and a cat, Dunn was standing on the sidelines to supervise the battle. He wouldn't analyze everything in the same way as Wenger. Perhaps Tang would do this kind of thing, but Dunn only used his approach to coach the team.

What Wenger brought to Arsenal was the elegant and artistic concept of football skills and tactics, while Dunn instilled in Nottingham Forest the will quality of "victory, victory and victory, in addition to victory or victory".

The players of Nottingham Forest, like their head coach, have a crazy perseverance and desire for victory. They are arrogant and are not willing to be left behind. How about one goal behind now? It's just one goal. The boss always says that "one goal lead" is the most dangerous situation in football. This applies not only to the Forest team, but also to their enemies.

George Wood pressed on, and Arteta saw him and passed the football.

Wood received the ball, Highbury Stadium remembered sporadic boos. As stated in the Inter Milan match, George Wood is a person who will not be popular anywhere except Nottingham.

He did not receive the influence of the audience's hostile emotions, and passed the football to Ribery on the other side, and then... not over here, Wood did not stay behind to prevent the opponent from counterattack as usual, but unexpectedly jumped forward!

Albertini, who saw this scene on the sidelines, laughed. This kid is willing to take the initiative to participate in the attack...

Lyman saw Wood step in, and of course he knew that this kid was going to take part in the attack. However, he reminded his teammates loudly: "Leave him alone! ~ Show me the others!"

In the heart of the German goalkeeper, this midfielder is not a threat at all. He may come in and help Arsenal with a ridiculously high shot.

Ribery saw Wood plug in, and he didn't hesitate to upload. Duer was entangled with Viduka, while Senderos was paying attention to Anelka. They all saw George Wood who plugged in, but they also heard Lyman's words.

Only one person did not listen to Lehman's command and followed Wood back into the penalty area. This person was Fabregas.

Ribery's pass was not to Viduka or Anelka, but to Wood. Wood leaped high while running!

Fabregas was thrown away by Wood in a sudden sprint at the last moment. He was too late to take off, but he didn't dare to reach out and pull, so he could only look up from behind and watch Wood kill out of the crowd!

"George Wood!"

At this moment, Lehman suddenly felt a sense of regret-why did he shout "leave him alone"? At this distance, there is no defensive player. What if he is allowed to advance? At the same time, his whole body muscles are tense, like a compressed spring, ready to jump out at any time.

When Wood saw football, what he thought in his mind was not "I want to score a goal", but "How can I ensure that I can accurately match the football and not be too high". The latter is the most basic thing. When he was in the youth team, the coaches repeatedly trained him so that he could effectively control the air when he was defensive. Now he uses what he learned for defense to attack. It feels... so amazing!

"Header!"

Very powerful, the strong power brought by Wood's abdominal muscles made him push the football to the goal!

Before "Boom" Lehman had time to pounce, the football flew into his arms...

"Too upright, although powerful, it did not pose any threat to Lehman! But I think the Arsenal players should think about why their dense defense would allow George Wood to be able to do without interference. Top to the ball?"

Wood grabbed the curly hair on his head. Inside his head he just thought about how to hit the ball, but forgot to observe the position of the opponent's goalkeeper. He forgot that the purpose of the goal this time was not to clear the siege, but to shoot... It’s a defensive habit for a person wearing a light-colored jersey to pass the ball.

Viduka came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done, you shocked them."

"But no goals." Wood said.

"Don't worry, there is always a chance." Viduka pointed at Lyman, "Watch his position before the next shot, and calm down."

Wood nodded.

Lyman is communicating with Fabregas about the ball just now, but looking at the unnatural expression on his face, I am afraid it is not a simple "communication".

"He is definitely not a'don't care' person, Lehman. I know him well, although I was a little surprised to say that he suddenly plugged in this time..."

Lehman shrugged: "His shot was terrible..."

"Even if you stabbed with your toe, you can score a goal. When you are lucky, what if you score? Don't take it lightly."

"Okay, I see." Lyman patted Fabregas on the shoulder. "I'm going to kick-off."

On the sidelines, Albertini stood up from the bench when he saw Wood leaping high and heading the goal. He was even ready to raise his hand to celebrate. He did not expect Wood to top the ball very powerfully. , But too positive. The half-raised hand slammed down, muttering a curse in his mouth.

The same as him is Tony Dunn, but his swearing is not muttering in his mouth, but directly yelling out: "Damn it! This is our best chance for the game so far! Give that **** after returning. Practice more shots!" He waved his arms in dissatisfaction.

Albertini laughed when Dunn shouted.

Dunn was right. This is the best chance for the Forest team so far in the game and the best chance for the Forest team in the first half. George Wood’s sudden intervention disrupted Arsenal’s defense. Wood, who came in later, would take the initiative to make such a move, but because it was Wood who rarely inserted, this header shot did not bring a goal. If you switch to Viduka, Anelka, Arteta, you might score a goal, but will it be unexpected?

At the end of the first half, the famous red screen at the corner of Highbury Stadium still scored 1:0 and the home team led.

If it is the end of the ninety-minute game, then this is the result Wenger wants.

During the intermission, Dunn made a comment on the first half in the locker room. He didn't say too much about that goal, and there is really nothing to say, because it was a typical "Arsenal" goal. Relying on the subtle passing between the two players, the Forest team's defense was torn apart, allowing them to lose sight of one another, and finally a fatal loophole appeared.

"In the whole process, we were played between the palms of the hands like toys. But this is nothing, football matches are like this. In the second half, let us return them a'forest style'!" Dunn blinked at the players.

What does a "forest" goal look like? Defensively counterattacks, quickly passes through the midfield, three passes and two footballs into the opponent's goal, using the simplest and most efficient method to score goals.

Everyone believes that Dunn is talking about such a goal.

Dunn turned his head and said to Wood again: "That ball...you did a good job, continue like this in the second half."

Wood shook his head: "If you continue like this, you still won't enter."

"Hey!" Dunn rolled his eyes, and someone beside him chuckled. He glared and the laughter disappeared.

"I mean your back plugged in, very resolute, very decisive, very unexpected, very good and powerful! Do you know what I mean?" Dun En waved his arm every time he said something.

Wood nodded: "I understand."

In the Arsenal dressing room, everyone is doing their own thing. Some people are listening to music, some people are lying on the ground dozing, Wenger ignores it, he is used to it and respects the personal habits of this group of professional players. He sat in the doorway to rest silently, and replayed the first half in his mind by the way.

By the time it was almost time, the players were quiet, listened to the music, took off their headphones, and sat back in their seats fakely. Everyone was waiting for the head coach to speak.

Wenger looked up at them, and his speech was as short as ever: "We all know how the Forest team will attack, don't give them that opportunity."

※※※

The second half of the game restarted, Arsenal remained on the defensive overall, while the Forest team is sticking to the attack, hoping to equalize the score. However, Arsenal can always see through the forest team's offensive routine, and they can resolve every forest team's attack. It seems that Wenger's research on the Forest team is really not a boast, and they are indeed thoroughly studied.

Nottingham Forest has few secrets in front of Arsenal.

If the game continues like this, unless something unexpected happens, Arsenal will exchange the ugly scene for a precious home victory.

Wenger doesn't care how the media commented on this game after the game. It has reached a critical moment. What is it to put a little face down for the victory of the game? When Arsenal wins the Champions League trophy historically, who cares about the ugly scenes in one or two games? People will only know that this is the first European Champions Cup trophy in the history of the Arsenal Club. It is shining with silver and a little bit of starlight under the lights. That is the highest goal a club head coach pursues in his life.

Wenger couldn't avoid it, he looked up at the sky. The night sky of London was red with the lights, and nothing was seen.

※※※

"It can't go on like this." Dunn got up from his seat. "Wenger has thoroughly studied us. Before him, we have no secrets. He knows what I am good at."

"Give up?" Chris Lak asked.

Dunn glared at him: "Nonsense. I don't know how to spell'Admit defeat', can you teach me?"

"Relax, Tony, it's just a joke." Chris Lak laughed.

"You can still laugh..."

"Didn't you say that as a coach, you have to give players confidence no matter when you face any situation?"

Dun En said this speechlessly.

"Do you want to make adjustments?"

Dunn nodded.

"Who is it for?"

"No change." Dunn shook his head, as if mumbling to himself, "For the time being...no change. Hasn't Wenger thoroughly studied us? He must know what we have, but we don't have any. ...He must not know!"

Hearing Dunn's words, Chris Luck didn't know what to say. Is not this nonsensical? What we don't have, how could Wenger know? We don’t even know...

Dunn walked to the sidelines, taking advantage of an out-of-bounds opportunity, he stopped Leighton Barnes, who was just here, and said so to him. Barnes' eyes were almost glaring when he heard it. He turned his head to look at the stadium and Dunn in surprise, unable to believe that he had heard every word.

The fourth referee had noticed that Dunn and Barnes had been talking for too long, and he planned to interfere.

Dunn patted Barnes on the shoulder: "Go, tell him the original words, let him don't doubt anything, do as I say. Success belongs to him, failure belongs to me."

Barnes looked into the head coach's eyes, then nodded vigorously, and ran back.

Dunn turned his head and saw someone from UEFA coming towards him, so he also turned and walked back to the coaching bench. The man saw that it was all right here, so he turned back.

"What did you say to Barnes, I think his expression is not normal." When Dunn came back, Chris Luck asked.

Dunn sat down, turned his head and grinned at him: "Guess."
