Godfather Of Champions

"Dear viewers, welcome to watch the heavyweight matchup in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League presented by ESPN! The opponents in the Champions League final last season, Barcelona and Nottingham Forest! Thanks to coach Tony Dunn in the final. The actions and words that followed have allowed the two teams to accumulate enough grievances this season, and now they can finally understand the grievances on the football field!" The Chinese ESPN commentator said about the game between the two teams. It seems to be the decisive battle of the top of the Forbidden City in martial arts novels, but it is very suitable for the current relationship between the two teams.

Of course, Barcelona fans in China will definitely not think that Nottingham Forest is a hero, comparable to their own team. Many Barcelona fans hate Tony Dunn as a person, and they are not talking about it.

The purpose of intercepting ESPN China's commentary here is to show that this eighth final has attracted the attention of the world. After a long period of media hype, everyone is very interested in the "sequel" of last year's final.

Not only in England and Barcelona, ​​but also in greater Britain, Spain, other European countries, and Asia's China, Japan, Southeast Asia, and South America will be able to watch the live broadcast of the game via satellite.

The two teams played 1:1 in the first half, but this was not enough for the spectators.

So far, the two sides have only scored two goals, no red and yellow cards, no fierce physical conflict, no scolding from the stands... nothing, it is too unworthy of the pre-match description of this game— -"Mars hit the earth".

The narrators prepared a lot of vocabulary to explain how exciting and exciting this game is, but now they find it useless.

Tony Dunn is certainly not the kind of saint who sacrifices himself to perfect others. Rijkaard is also a little bit temperless by the forest team's defense. So now everyone is hoping that something will change in the second half of the game. No matter which side scored, who was sent off, or was seriously injured, as long as there is an accident that can break the current equilibrium, then the second half will not be mentioned... but it will be wonderful!

"The second half of the game has just begun. Unsurprisingly, Barcelona launched a fierce offensive against the gate of Nottingham Forest at their home court! They hope to score as soon as possible...Let's take a look at the countermeasures of Nottingham Forest... It is disappointing, still It's lifeless defending, defending, defending! Is Tony Dunn satisfied with being able to leave Camp Nou with an away goal?"

The TV broadcast gave Dunn sitting on the coach's bench a close-up.

Dunn's previous smile disappeared, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

"Well, it looks like he is not satisfied..."

※※※

George Wood did not forget the words Dunn said to him during the intermission, so that he should not just stick to it, and think of a way to send the football forward. But now it's not that he doesn't want to send forward, but that Barcelona's attack is too fierce, so that he can't take things forward.

Barcelona’s offensive tactics in the second half are more flexible and changeable. Ronaldinho is no longer the only core. If they look at the Brazilians too hard, they will pass the ball to Messi or Eto’o, and With Deco, Iniesta and Xavi plugged in afterwards, Barcelona's offensive is like the high tide of the sea, wave after wave, tide after tide.

No matter how great George Wood is, he can't appear on the left, center, and right at the same time, right? Fortunately, the team gave him enough support in the second half.

It is currently a stalemate. The Barcelona offensive looks very fierce, but it has not yet formed a real threat to the gate of Nottingham Forest. In most cases, Deco and others have no choice but to choose long shots. The activities of Eto'o and Messi in the two ribs are even more closely watched. The Forest team is very good at doing this kind of compressed defense.

In the last final, Barcelona had tasted the Forest team doing this. That defense made them knock on the Forest team goal until the end. This time, the Forest team lineup was neat, no one was sent off, the goalkeeper is the main van der Sar, and the defensive core George Wood is in line. Dunn is confident to play a defensive counterattack against Barcelona in the away game.

He has to tie up Barcelona's proud offense with the reinforced concrete defense he inherited from Italy, and then rely on speed to kill!

It seems that the defense is good, able to resist Barcelona's offensive. Just look at the offense...

※※※

When the team is on the defensive, Ribery and Ashley Young are on the two wings, occasionally participating in defense. Ashley Young has come back to defend more often, but Ribery can't be like his teammates. Because as soon as he came back, Wood would stare at him. Although he didn't say anything, Ribery knew what it meant.

Wood was worried that there were not enough people in front of him and he couldn't get up to the key players when he needed to attack, so he was not allowed to return to defense frequently.

He actually wanted to tell Wood that he had no problem with his physical strength and was fast enough to support frequent sprints from the backcourt to the frontcourt. But seeing Wood sweating, he opened his mouth and gave up the idea.

Well, I just wait in front, waiting for your pass...

Ronaldinho took the ball and George Wood leaned forward. This time, the Brazilian did not take the ball to the center, but to the right. He wanted to seek cooperation with Messi.

Wood followed Ronaldinho to the left, and Messi immediately understood what his predecessors were going to do. He was ready to receive the ball.

Wood is not a fool. He agrees to notice Messi who is about to run to the center, with Ronaldinho or Messi?

"George!" Bell called him from behind, obviously the little monkey also faced such a choice.

Wood waved his hand behind his back, beckoning Bell to make up the mid lane and defend the side lane himself. He decided, whether Ronaldinho passed the ball or broke through with the ball himself, he decided to follow him.

After Ronaldinho came to the wing, Messi ran behind him. At this moment, Wood increased his vigilance and fixed his eyes on the football. Ronaldinho walked around and he almost jumped out. The ball was intercepted. The football was not passed by Ronaldinho, Messi just gave a false shot, but fortunately Wood did not move, otherwise Ronaldinho provided him with a breakthrough.

Messi ran away, and Bell followed Messi again. Ronaldinho did not pass the ball at the first time, so he lost the opportunity to pass the ball again. Even if he passes the football to Messi now, it is not a good choice. It seemed that he was going to single out Wood again on the wing.

In fact, Ronaldinho actually intended to pass the ball to Messi at the moment he crossed with Messi, and then made an empty cut. But seeing Wood staring hard at the football, he raised his foot and changed his mind temporarily, turning into just a vain shot.

In the first half, he won several heads-ups only once, but he didn't want to let it go.

He is very good at doing all kinds of fake moves on the side, especially his best... Bull Tail!

Wood didn't know what his opponent was thinking at this time. He just stared at the football and didn't even look up at Ronaldinho's face at this time.

He stared at the football, stared at it...no matter how Ronaldinho's foot circled around the football to interfere with him. He only recognizes football, if football doesn't move, he doesn't move. He is not at all afraid of the passing of time, anyway, he should be anxious not for himself, but for Barcelona, ​​anxious to win. But at the same time, his body seemed to be a tight string, as if to shoot the arrow out.

The football in front of me shook suddenly, and I was about to rush over from my right side!

Wood shoveled to that side without hesitation.

What about football?

He saw that the football was clearly coming here. Why did he just move a little bit and suddenly changed direction in the air by ninety degrees and flew to the left side of his body? !

Before he could figure out the reason, Ronaldinho had already started to rush from the left side of his body!

"Cow Tail! Exciting! Exciting... In addition to excitement, what else can we say? No, language is pale and weak in front of this extraordinary performance! Yes, this is a performance! A performance that elevates technology to art!"

With the commentator's unrelenting praise, there was a huge cheer from Camp Nou and the entire Barcelona city...or that the voice was a demonstration and warning to the Nottingham Forest that was going to show off on their territory.

We have Ronaldinho! He is the football wizard God gave to the world!

Someone on the Barcelona bench stood up and shouted for this extraordinary man while looking forward to the next goal.

At this point, regardless of whether Ronaldinho is shooting from a small angle or passing the ball, the chances of scoring are very high. Eto'o and Messi, including Deco, rushed to the forest team the first time.

And because Bell was torn apart, Wood was caught. Compani and Pique, who were supposed to defend those people in the middle, had to separate one person to kill on the wing to stop Ronaldinho.

The situation in front of the Forest team goal is critical!

Piquet looked back at Compani and rushed towards Ronaldinho without hesitation, but when he just started, he heard a loud roar, as if a thunderbolt was blowing in his ears-"Go back Shouzhong Road!"

Then he saw George Wood, who had just been shaken by Ronaldinho, who had no center of gravity, turned around and rushed forward, his face grim, as if he had seen the prey panther.

He was frightened by Wood's expression and such a quick reaction, and instead of withdrawing to defend, he froze in place.

This is a good opportunity for Ronaldinho. The forest team's defense in the middle has been emptied by his breakthrough. There are three Barcelona players in front of the goal. There is no shortage of three points in the front, middle and back, as long as the quality of the pass is high. , The possibility of scoring is very great!

He no longer hesitated, ready to pass the ball.

At this moment, he saw Messi who was leaping forward suddenly stopped, and looked at him in horror, as if he had seen something incredible.

You idiot... What are you doing standing still? It happened to be on the same line as Piquet, how can I pass it to you?

Ronaldinho scolded Messi for losing the chain at a critical moment, but he completely forgot the danger around him.

Wood saw Ronaldinho stretch one leg high in the high-speed sprint back to defense, and he seemed to be passing the ball. The supporting foot was still some distance away from the football. This was the best chance and the only chance...

"George Wood-fierce tackle! Oh!" the commentator exclaimed, as if he had been shoveled out of the court by Wood.

When Ronaldinho was about to pass the ball, Wood shoveled the football out. Unable to stop, he drove the Brazilian out of the penalty area, and the two fell to the billboard outside.

The Nou Camp took a breath of air, and then uttered a roar at the same time: "Punishment!!"

The same voice came from Barcelona's bench. Rijkaard stood up directly and rushed to the sidelines, intending to cheer for the penalty.

But what did they see?

The line referee and the referee point to the corner flag at the same time!

Corner kick?

Corner kick!

Corner kick? !

Rijkaard jumped up abruptly, really furious.

The Barcelona fans stopped doing it, and the Barcelona players stopped doing it. Ronaldinho was still lying on the ground doing anguish, ready to make Wood take the foul. As a result, after he saw the referee's gestures clearly, he jumped up from the ground and waved his arms angrily to protest the penalty. His teammates had already rushed to surround the referee to ask for an explanation.

"The referee awarded a corner kick... It's incredible. George Wood's tackle was so fierce, it looked so lethal, it turned out to be just a corner kick? Let's look at the replay again..."

In the replay, the slow motion played back that moment several times. It was clear and unmistakable that Wood had tackled the ball first, and then Ronaldinho was unable to absorb the huge kinetic energy of the tackle. Knocked out. The referee made no mistakes.

"Uh, it looks like a clean and beautiful tackle... It's really thrilling. If he is one second late, I bet it will hit Ronaldinho's right foot."

George Wood was picked up by Piquila, and the Spanish boy patted him on his thigh, and said with lingering fear: "I didn't expect you to actually shovel over..."

"Is there any other way?" Wood asked strangely.

"No, uh... I mean you are not afraid of being sentenced to a penalty kick?"

"I didn't think so much." Wood's answer made Pi Kui wonder what to say. Should he say that this person is a bold person or a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs?

Bell jumped up excitedly, hugged Wood hard, and yelled: "You did a beautiful job, George! You know he will leave football, right?"

Wood pushed him away: "Okay, go to prevent corner kicks."

Bell ran away obediently, and only then did Wood notice Ronaldinho, who was still around him, staring at him angrily. You must still be angry that the tackle just now was not a penalty but a corner kick. He didn't want to pay attention, but was stopped.

"Hey, hey!" Ronaldinho doesn't speak much English, he can only question in Portuguese. "That is obviously a foul! If you are honest, you shouldn't celebrate here!"

In fact, this is more like a self-talking complaint, Ronaldinho did not expect George Wood to understand his Portuguese.

Unexpectedly, after hearing him say this, Wood stopped, and then looked back at him. Obviously, he understood.

Wood just looked at Ronaldinho, said nothing in the end, turned around and ran away.

Barcelona's players are still reluctant to surround the referee. Rijkaard was even more emotional just now, which attracted special attention from the fourth official.

He repeatedly reiterated to the fourth official that he was convinced that the tackle was a foul in the penalty area and should be awarded a penalty. The fourth official’s answer was like a robot with well-defined content, just repeating: "I believe the referee's penalty on the court, not to mention that this is a penalty made by the referee and the side referee at the same time. There will be no problems. Please. Calm down, Mr. Rijkaard."

Can he calm down?

As if specifically to stimulate him, Dunn jumped up from his seat, raised his arms and cheered, then he turned around and stood up to the angry fans in the stands of the Camp Nou stadium... Of course not. Middle finger, he puts his index finger to his mouth and pursed his lips, the meaning couldn't be more obvious-let the noisy Barcelona fans quiet him down.

Can Barcelona fans be quiet?

Dunn didn't think so naively, he was a provocation. The result was as he had hoped. The stand behind the coaching bench was like an erupting volcano, and huge boos and curses directed at Tony Dunn erupted suddenly.

Of course Rijkaard saw it too. He pointed to Dunn and shouted at the fourth official next to him: "You should calm down that **** first!"

The fourth official turned his head and saw Dunn's provocation against Barcelona fans, so he dropped Rijkaard and rushed to Dunn, between Dunn and the fans in the stands, to drive him to the coaching bench of the visiting team. .

"Please pay attention to your words and deeds, Mr. Tony Dunn!" The fourth official sent by UEFA reminded Dunn, who was still fighting against the fans, with a dark face. "Don't cause trouble for us, and don't cause trouble for yourself!"

Dunn finally put down his index finger, pointed to the excited fans in the stands and said to the fourth official: "Those fans call me players who are bitch-bred liars. Does UEFA have any provisions? Punish and stop this situation?"

The fourth official was stunned for a moment, and shook his head: "No..."

Dunn whistled: "It's fair." Then he shrugged, turned and walked back. Behind him, there were still constant boos and verbal abuse, and those noises seemed to be spurred by the strong wind, and hit him, trying to completely swallow his figure.

He went back to face Rijkaard, and the two far away looked at each other. Dunn saw Rijkaard. After approaching, he spread his hand to the opponent and tilted his head. Helpless look. This action made Rijkaard hate his teeth. The Dutchman is not a person who likes to quarrel with others, but in the face of Tony Dunn, a rogue, he can't restrain his anger.

"This **** bastard!" He turned and hit the roof of the coaching bench with a punch.

"Calm down, Frank!" The assistant coach, Neskens, the older Dutch star, had to remind him aloud. "You are the soul and leader of this team. You can't be irritated by the opponent and lose your cool mind!"

"Sorry... It's okay now." Rijkaard covered his head with his hands and scratched his head with his fingers in his braid.

※※※

Of course Dunn saw all this in his eyes. Although he could not hear the conversation between Neskens and Rijkaard, he knew that Rijkaard's heart could not really calm down.

His goal was achieved.

Next, he can refocus his attention on the court. The scolding of those Barcelona fans behind him? Sorry, he does not understand Catalan.

As for "fuck" and the familiar English words in the world, his ears are automatically filtered...

The Barcelona players surrounded the referee and did not get the result they hoped. This time, the referee and the side referee agreed. The referee did not even have to run to ask the side referee's opinion, and unswervingly awarded the corner kick. He waved away the Barcelona players around him, telling them to take a corner kick, or maybe he would take out a yellow card to warn some people who were still chattering.

This penalty has greatly affected the entire Barcelona team, and it has affected their mood and morale to varying degrees.

Ronaldinho's corner kick was not of high quality, and the football flew over the goal and was easily won by Van der Sar.

The Nottingham Forest fans, who had been booed just now, finally heard their voices again. They sang the lyrics compiled on-the-spot and added a piece of currently popular tune. "You have Ronaldinho, we have George Wood! You have fancy and beautiful footwork, and we tackled fiercely and directly-not fouled! Lala la, not fouled! No goal for penalties, both! No! Door!"

In the high-pitched singing of Forest fans, Nottingham Forest, wearing a yellow away jersey, launched an attack by van der Sar toss the ball.

The Dutch goalkeeper's hand tossed the ball very far, almost directly past the midfield. Frank Ribery appeared in the middle and he received the ball.

The defensive players have successfully completed their tasks. They have prevented Barcelona's several attacks. Now it is the offensive players' turn to play their role.

"Although this is a bit exaggerated, I still want to say-it's been a long time, the offensive players of Nottingham Forest!" Support the author, support genuine reading!)
