Godfather Of Champions

Perhaps after the game, Dunn would remember to explain to Anelka why he replaced him instead of Viduka, or someone else.

Because the Forest team insists on playing high ball on the field, Viduka needs a good header and a strong center. Anelka is not supposed to do this job. Eighteen minutes into the game, his more work was just to cope with Anelka and wait for an opportunity to shoot.

Perhaps in other games, Viduka appeared as an auxiliary to Anelka, just like the relationship between safflower and green leaves. Anelka is a safflower and Viduka is a green leaf. But in this game, when the Barcelona gate needs to be bombed at high altitude, Viduka became a safflower, and Anelka is inevitably a green leaf.

Dunn will naturally not replace Viduka, the main point of attack, nor will he replace any player on the back line. The four midfielders are very balanced. They need to compete with Barcelona's powerful midfielder. Break this balance. After thinking about it, only Anelka can change.

The problem lies here.

This is a paradox.

Only Anelka can change.

But Anelka didn't want to be replaced. He considers himself to be the core and deservedly No.1. Eastwood's nine-month injury gave him the opportunity to become the core of this team's offense. He firmly grasped it and used one goal after another to prove his worth and strength. The coach trusts him. Even if Eastwood, his favorite player, returns from injury, he can't shake Anelka's absolute main position. He also uses his goals to return the trust of the coach.

It looks very good. The generals are single-minded and the three armed forces have used their lives. They have created a series of myths: second in the league, the Champions League final...

Anelka won the second place in the league's scorer list, and he also ranked in the top four in the Champions League scorer list. If the Forest team can "upset" Barcelona in this game, then he will win his second Champions League trophy. This time he is no longer the forgotten, he is the core of the team and the champion of winning. He will usher in the second spring of his career. This is another peak of his...

What a wonderful future.

But all of this, the bright prospects were shattered by this substitution.

In such an important game, on the home court of the team he played for, in front of the Parisians who had laughed at him, he was replaced by the head coach in just eighteen minutes after the start of the game.

He understands Dunn's substitutions this way-he is not an important person in the head coach's mind, he can be sacrificed and replaced at any time.

Anelka, who has a perverse personality, will not consider the factors behind this substitution. He only knows that he was replaced and abandoned at an important moment.

He walked past Dun En with a sullen face, did not shake hands or communicate with the head coach, and did not even raise his head to say hello. In this way, he rubbed shoulders with the coach he once called his "most admired" coach in the interview, walked straight into the player hallway, and disappeared from the noise.

Anelka, who returned to the locker room, did not take a shower to change clothes. Instead, he took out the phone from his cabinet and called his brother and agent.

No TV camera will record what happened at this moment, and Anelka will not mention it to anyone after the game, including Dunn.

Holding the phone, Anelka asked his brothers for help: "I want to leave."

※※※

Ten minutes later, when Anelka changed his clothes and returned to the sidelines, Dunn remembered to look at him, and then quickly turned his attention to the court. He had no thoughts about Anelka's reaction and mood to this substitution.

The Forest team is missing one person, and he has to change his strategy. Move the position of the goal back, and try to stabilize the defense during this time, even... he has to keep defending in this game, guarding until overtime, guarding until the penalty.

Nottingham Forest had a stormy offensive at the beginning of the game, as Van der Sar was sent off. The new Paul Gerrard is not a reassuring guy.

The British commentators were all amazed when introducing him. Under the powerful appearance of the Forest team, they have such a fatal weakness-their bench strength is too weak.

Paul Gerrard played no more than four times in a season. Van der Sar’s stable performance sent the Forest team the current results, and the substitute goalkeepers could not find the game state. At this time, Dunn had to bite the bullet and let the game experience little, Paul Gerrard, who had no experience in the Champions League, became the goalkeeper of the Forest team and blocked Barcelona's shot. This is really a double-edged sword...

"Paul Gerrard, this season's UEFA Champions League debut..." At this point, the British commentator sighed. "I don't think he is a player who can perform miracles and become famous in World War I. His career is lackluster...I think coach Dunn will seriously consider the issue of a substitute goalkeeper no matter what the outcome of this game is. Secondly, they have world-class goalkeeper Van der Sar, but the substitute goalkeeper is only at the level of the British Championship. This is really an unacceptable fact."

Barcelona used this opportunity to launch a fierce offensive against the forest team's penalty area. In these ten minutes, the performance and situation of the two teams were completely reversed compared with the previous ten minutes. Barcelona made seven stunning shots, but Nottingham Forest did not have one.

The Spanish hegemon showed people what the real Barcelona should look like. The Catalan commentator also teased the Forest team: "They showed us what the real English football looks like...Haha!"

Viduka has all gone back in to act as a central defender with a header to make a clearance. What kind of offense can the Forest team count on? Ten people huddled in the penalty area to resist the indiscriminate bombing by the Barcelona people. The rain drenched all of them. The yellow away jersey was stained brown and green with mud and turf. The three colors were mixed together, looking very embarrassed.

"Barcelona players have gradually adapted to the venue. They can already make wonderful cooperation and dribbling here that will make the audience amazing. This is the Barcelona we are familiar with!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.

Just now, Ronaldinho used a breakthrough at the front of the penalty area to disturb the forest team's defense line, and he was embarrassed! It's a pity that his shot missed the goal post at the last moment. Despite this, Barcelona’s performance has been praised by most of the fans, and their mood is not as anxious as before. After all, there is one more number than the Forest team. The forest team’s substitute goalkeeper is not strong, and there are more than fifty minutes in the game. , They have enough time to score, lead, win...

Therefore, after ten minutes of indiscriminate bombing, they saw that the Forest team was forced by them to shrink back. Now the front of the goal is stubborn and there is no way to speak. The experienced Barcelona slowed down the attacking rhythm. They no longer continue to put pressure on the Forest team, but slightly reclaimed in order to pull out the Forest team players and look for loopholes again.

The Barcelona players seemed confident. They played their accustomed technical football slowly and moved the Forest team players through constant falling feet and amazing passes.

Watching Ronaldinho show off his skills in front of Arteta, the scene where Arteta can't even touch the ball really makes the Forest team fans sad. At this time, everyone will miss the person already sitting in the stadium box.

If he were there, when Ronaldinho dared to show off his footwork in front of him, the Brazilian must be greeted with a pair of spiked sneakers.

Before they knew it, everyone was accustomed to thinking and looking at the game in the way "George Wood was on the court".

※※※

For Dmitrio Albertini, this is destined to be a Champions League final that he will never forget.

In fact, before the opponent in the final came out, after the Forest team successfully entered the Champions League final, Albertini even hoped that the opponent of the Forest team in the final would be AC ​​Milan. He wants to show Galliani and Ancelotti what he can show in high-level games.

Perhaps, in this way, he hopes to pay tribute to the team he has played for 14 years-in the finals where Wood was absent, he showed his best side.

But Barcelona eliminated AC Milan.

Before this game, Albertini had made a full estimate of the hardship of the final. He knew what kind of team Barcelona is, which is the same level as AC Milan. There is no reason to despise them, plus Wood is not there, he needs to share Wood's work with Arteta in the midfield. But when Van der Sar was sent off, the actual difficulty of the game exceeded Albertini's expectations.

He has long been used to the feeling of having George Wood playing with him... When Wood is not on the court, he and Arteta share his work alone. It is still very difficult, not to mention that Wood used to be alone. One person did the job. What kind of monster is he? Even Albertini, who has the most contact with Wood, would be confused.

But now is not the time to lament these, Wood will not appear in this game, no matter what the reason is, and no matter how difficult the team is now, he will not fall from the sky to save his teammates. He was sitting in the brightly lit VIP box, watching the game quietly.

Therefore, this game does not belong to Wood. If you still think about Woodwood, then it is disrespect for the other ten teammates.

This is my fight, my game, mine, Dmitrio Albertini's.

"Barcelona continues to pass the ball, they are not in a hurry. Nottingham Forest's defensive formation is very close, they don't have too many opportunities. Deco took the ball, he made a fake breakthrough, but passed the football to Ronaldinho!"

As the voice of the commentator increased, the cheers from the stadium stands also increased.

This Brazilian with rabbit teeth is Barcelona's new idol and leader. Everyone is happy to see football at his feet. Everyone is watching intently, always looking forward to the wonderful moments that will surprise them.

Ronaldinho leaned against Arteta and stepped on the football with his outside foot. This is one of Ronaldinho’s signature moves. The advantage is that he can easily make various converging movements, no matter it is Passing or dribbling can keep the football as far away from the opponent's legs as possible.

Arteta tried very hard to break the ball, but Ronaldinho was leaning against him and couldn't make any effort.

While everyone was waiting to see Ronaldinho show off his superb personal skills again, when Ronaldinho looked up to observe the running situation of his teammates, Albertini suddenly killed him from the blind spot he observed. Out, stabbed the ball at his feet with a thunderous force!

Ronaldinho shook his head sharply. What he saw was the back of Nottingham Forest 4.

"Albertini broke the football at Ronaldinho's feet, and the Forest team fought back!... He didn't mean to pass the ball, he was dribbling, continuing to dribble, forward..."

Although both Ribery and Ashley Young were running earlier, Viduka was also ready to catch the ball. But Albertini did not pass the ball, he chose to break through with the ball himself.

In the face of Edmilson, Albertini simply swung the football to the side, and the other side quickly leaned forward and pressed Albertini to prevent him from easily taking the football. He has been forced into a blind spot, but he is still dribbling forward.

Ashley Young saw the captain running ahead of him, hesitated, and turned to the middle. Be a screen for his captain.

Sure enough, after the Barcelona defenders who were going to go to the wing to grab and cut Albertini's ball, after seeing Ashley Young's running position, Max and Puyol both chose to stay in the middle, leaving only Edmilson and Van Bronck. Horst goes to defend Albertini.

Regardless of how the opponent interfered behind, Albertini stubbornly took the football to the left of the Barcelona penalty area, in the area guarded by Van Bronckhorst. After the two people gathered around, Albertini slowed down and protected the football, waiting for the others to pull up and support.

Barcelona would not give him such an opportunity, Van Bronckhorst neatly hooked Albertini to the ground.

Of course, the referee also called him a foul cleanly.

Van Bronckhorst shrugged and stepped back. Albertini got up from the ground and waved for the players to come up. This is an opportunity for the Forest team to attack. The set-piece has been repeatedly practiced before the game and is specifically used to deal with Barcelona's most powerful weapons.

"Thirty-eighth minute, a free kick outside the penalty area. This is Nottingham Forest's opportunity. It is Albertini's opportunity to dribble the ball for more than 40 meters. Let's see... how it turned out."

The commentator fell silent, and both players on the court were concentrating in the penalty area. The Barcelona players are busy defending, while the Forest players are in the penalty area to wait for an opportunity to score.

Arteta wanted to take the free kick, but Albertini refused. He must personally grasp the opportunities he created.

Viduka, Pepe, Pikwe, the forest team's best header players, rushed to the goal, and suddenly felt like a standout. In comparison, Barcelona's tallest Max is caught between them, like a poor hot dog.

This is a very common foul. The Barcelona players don’t think that the forest team can do anything with one less person and still embarrassed. The defense in the penalty area seems a little loose, and the two-person wall blocking the ball is not very close. .

Albertini took a closer look at the situation in the penalty area and stepped back to prepare for the penalty.

He did not run up, kicked on the spot, the football bypassed the virtual wall of two players and flew towards Barcelona.

When the football flew up, Barcelona's defensive players didn't even move much, they saw a yellow figure in the penalty area passing through Barcelona's goal like lightning!

"Pepe! Ah-ah! GOOOOAL! GOOOOOAL!! GOOOOOOAL -"

Facing the header of the tall central defender who suddenly came up from behind, Valdes didn't respond at all. He just jumped, then turned his head and sent the football into the goal he guarded!

Puyol was deceived by Albertini's arc ball. He thought the football would fly in, so he rushed towards the goal. Unexpectedly, the football hung an arc halfway and flew outside. It happened to be in Puyol. The defensive area that Joel is responsible for. When he saw Pepe jump in from behind and jumped to the goal, and then jumped back to block, it was too late, completely a head shorter than Pepe!

"Pepe! This season, Tony Dunn used a special genius clause to obtain a labor certification from the FA from the Brazilian central defender. Dunn finally received a generous return. He proved himself with this goal. A well-deserved'special genius'!"

"The ten-player Nottingham Forest scored the first goal. They took the lead! This is incredible!"

"Oleg should be responsible for the loss! He didn't notice the Pepe who came in afterwards. It is not wise to let Puyol fight for the header."

"Aha! This is Tony Dunn's team, never admit defeat! When everyone is not optimistic about them, they can burst out shocking energy! 1:0, our team from England leads. Barcelona! And there are only ten of them!"

The narrators from various countries became excited. After waiting for thirty-eight minutes, they finally waited for the first goal in the final. Unexpectedly, it came from the Nottingham Forest, which was one person behind, the scene was at a disadvantage and was beaten passively and embarrassed. ...
