Godfather Of Champions

The football bounced in front of Kaka. This was a long pass from the backcourt. Kaka was ready to push the football with his head when the height of the ball was right, and then speed up to break through George Wood.

Just as he was about to put his head out, he felt a gust of wind passing across his forehead.

Wood, who ran from the side, flew up, kicking the bounced football into the air with his big feet.

The two collided together, and the referee whistled that Wood raised his foot too high, which was a threatening action and awarded AC Milan a free kick.

Wood felt wronged. It's true that most people don't raise their feet to that height, but football reaches that height. What can he do? It's impossible to do nothing and watch Kaka push the football with his head, right? That way, if you want to stop successfully, you can only rely on the back tackle...

Besides, he didn't hurt Kaka, Kaka's head was still some distance from his feet.

Wood wanted to come forward to argue, but was pulled by Albertine.

"Don't mess with the referee, be careful of a yellow card on you." The captain blocked Wood behind him, and walked forward to negotiate with the referee.

He is deliberately delaying the game time, taking advantage of all available opportunities. For example, including a few sentences to the referee in each disputed judgment.

AC Milan in the stands booed dissatisfied, they were not dissatisfied with Wood's foul action, but after Wood fouled, the referee did not give a yellow card.

Everyone now knows that Wood has a card on him, and if he gets another card, he will be out. Everyone knows what George Wood's end means for the Forest.

Albertini is physically exhausted, and the Forest team only has a midfielder like Wood. If Wood can go down, AC Milan's offense can go straight to Huanglong.

So now Kaka’s chances of getting the ball have increased significantly.

AC Milan's free kick did not achieve any effect because the foul location was too far away from the Forest team's goal. After the indirect free kick was taken, Pepe was driven away. Maldini and Nesta quickly returned to defense. The Forest team responded with a quick counterattack.

Van Nistelrooy's shot finally hit Dida's arms.

Seventy-five minutes into the game, after AC Milan scored a goal, they wanted to take advantage of this momentum to continue their efforts. Unexpectedly, Nottingham Forest's defense was more tenacious than they thought. That George Wood completely ignored him. Against the background of a yellow card, there is no sign of slack in Kaka's defense. When it is time to foul, he will foul, and he will not hesitate when he dares to tackle. It seems that unless you find a way to get him off the court, Kaka will always follow this number 13.

But AC Milan did not give up because of this. The gap of a goal always stimulates them, telling them that as long as they work hard and score a goal, the situation on the field can be reversed. This is the entire spiritual pillar of AC Milan. At this time, no one is thinking about the vague things like the "championship trophy". In the game, the only thing that needs to be considered is how to win the game. As for the benefits of winning the game, you have to wait until the game is won.

The football was passed to Kaka again. This time AC Milan pushed forward as a whole, pushing the forest team's defense near the big penalty area. The downside to Kaka was that he had no room to accelerate his breakthrough. As long as Wood stood still, Kaka would have fewer choices. a lot of.

Don't think that Kaka who doesn't break through is not a threat. Wood dared not relax his vigilance. He pressed Kaka's feet tightly, and the football was being stepped on by him.

Pirlo and Seedorf were both thrusting into the penalty area. Kaka stepped on the football and pulled back the image. Wood thought he was going to pass the ball with his heel to the inserted Pirlo and Seedorf, and his body followed.

Pirlo ran behind Kaka, but the football did not reach his feet.

Kaka pulled the football back, then picked up the toe, jumped the football on the spot, and volleyed directly!

The football slipped through the gap where Wood moved!

"Kaka's shot!"

This is the second time it has broken Wood's defense, even though it's just the ball...

When everyone was applauding for Kaka's goal, one person chose to say no to this wonderful goal.

Van der Sar leaped forward, firmly grasped the football in the air with both hands, and quickly curled up after landing, protecting the football in front of his chest. In order to make the football bypass Wood, Kaka pursued the angle too much, and the shooting power and speed were much smaller.

"Our offense!" Van der Sar got up from the ground, holding the football and screaming at his teammates.

In such an important game, he doesn't want to be a frequent guest in the TV close-up.

※※※

Albertini patted Wood on the shoulder, his breathing sounded loudly like a wind tunnel.

"George, now I don't even have the strength to run up, don't pass the ball to me. Let's change positions..." He pointed to the front, "When you attack, you go up and I will pass the ball behind you."

Looking at the captain, who was leaning over to talk to himself with his hands on his knees, Wood did not refuse this time. He nodded: "Okay."

"If you have a chance, go forward. Don't worry about you not getting the ball. Although I can't run, I still have the strength to pass the ball. Pirlo and Gattuso are watching me during this period. Let's change positions. They must not be able to adapt. But the time is very short. With the ability of AC Milan players, even if the coach does not give instructions, they can adjust themselves. You are not a midfielder who can make a difference under multiplayer defense, so You have to seize this period of defensive vacuum. Can it be done, George?"

Albertini looked up at Wood.

Wood nodded again. "can."

"Very good." Albertini smiled.

※※※

As the game continued, AC Milan still did not give up the opportunity to score. At this time, they had no other choice but to score goals.

Ancelotti replaced Jankulowski with Karadze in the 77th minute, AC Milan switched to a three-guard, and Otto was pushed to the midfield to participate in the attack.

Two minutes later, Ancelotti replaced Inzaghi with Gilardino, who was almost overdrawn.

This game is really depressing for Inzaghi. Since Nottingham Forest has always implemented Dunn's request not to make offsides, the closing is relatively tight. When AC Milan attacked, the forest team was full of people in the penalty area. Pepe technically followed him every step of the way. It was very difficult for him to find shots. Can only run non-stop, non-stop running, hoping to find loopholes in the forest team's defense line.

As a result, he did not find a decent opportunity until he left the field.

When he walked off the field, the TV screen showed his running distance of this game-11134 meters. Can you be depressed after running 11 kilometers but not getting a goal?

Inzaghi panted heavily, lowered his head and left the court helplessly. He high-five Gilardino from the sidelines, then walked back to the bench and sat there with a towel on his head and stopped talking.

He knew that his career hadn't been several years. In 2003, he represented AC Milan to win the Champions League, but in 2005 he reached the final but got nothing. 2007 was a great opportunity for revenge, but now the score is 1:2, AC Milan is behind, he himself has been replaced because of no contribution and exhaustion, and now he can only be a spectator, and he is unable to return. God...

He wants to win the Champions League again, more than anyone else. As a striker, now I can only pray to my teammates to work hard to create miracles. What a shame this is!

Dunn was relieved by Inzaghi's end. In his opinion, Gilardino and Inzaghi are not a level forward at all. Even if Inzaghi doesn't score a goal, he runs back and forth on the field, and his defense does not dare to move a bit-he is afraid of giving Inzaghi Ji fought offside to grab a shot. Ferguson once said that Inzaghi was a forward born on the offside line, and Dunn deeply agreed with this.

People used to say that Brazil's Ronaldo is the kind of striker who can change the result of the game with just one second. But in fact, Dunn thinks this sentence is more suitable for Inzaghi, he is the real striker who can change the outcome of the game with just one second and one grab point. He must require too much dribbling and no fancy skills. He only needs to be in the most suitable place when he needs it, then stretch his feet to complete the shot, and the football will fly into the goal.

Seeing that Inzaghi was replaced, Dunn got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines, where he made a gesture to tell his players that he could consider a large-scale attack.

He didn't want to drag the game into overtime, he had never thought about it that way. End the battle within 90 minutes, and tell the world with real results, who is the king of Europe. AC Milan want to guard against the sky? There are no doors!

※※※

Wood consciously stepped in. He was no longer as overwhelmed as he was a season ago. Now he is very clear about his purpose, knowing how to run, what to do after going up, and how to do it. All these are thanks to Albertini's careful teaching during this year.

He received a pass from Albertini. Gattuso was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this time it was not Albertini but George Wood.

Wood took a look at the situation ahead and assigned the football to Ashley Young. He did not choose to break through with the ball. He knows that it is not his specialty, he should leave this kind of work to professionals to do...

After passing the ball, Wood did not run back, but pulled Gattuso and ran forward with him.

After AC changed to play three guards, the two sides of the Forest team had more space. After receiving the football, Ashley Young resolutely broke through the bottom pass. His pass made Nesta out of the bottom line. The Forest team won a corner kick.

Gattuso glanced around, and Wood was gone. He didn't take it to heart. Before those corner kicks, Wood would go back to defend, and this time it should be no exception.

Albertini didn't come up for a corner kick, and it was Gareth Bale who ran over.

The football was driven out and there was chaos in the penalty area. It was not Van der Vaart, Pepe or Pikwe who leaped high and threw the ball towards the goal, but...

"George Wood!"

The number 13 under the red background is very conspicuous in the air. He didn't take off in place, he rushed in from outside the penalty area to take off. He jumped higher than anyone else, the football came to him, a powerful lion shook his head!

Dida had no response, but the football hit the crossbar!

"Huh -" AC Milan fans let out a huge exclamation.

"Why is he there?!" Ancelotti couldn't help asking this question off the court. The Forest team had won several corner kicks in the previous game, and each time Wood was prepared to guard against the opponent's counterattack in the second half. Not only in this game, in previous Forest team games, the center back and full backs all went up, and the person in charge of the defense in the backcourt was George Wood.

There is no mention of Wood's involvement in the corner kick offense in all kinds of intelligence. Everyone does not know what use his header and bounce will be in the offense. They saw it this time.

Seeing the football hit the crossbar and popped out of the bottom line, Wood was upset that he didn't hold his hair in front of the opponent's goal. He turned and sprinted back to the defense zone.

AC Milan’s goal kick went quickly. The ball boy just threw the spare football in. Dida placed the football and watched everyone push out of the penalty area.

If Wood is still annoyed for not scoring a goal, the Forest team may have to lose the ball again. He is not a forward. After a missed opportunity, he can still use this kind of action to make a TV show.

Dida's big feet were pushed down by Albertini and handed to Pepe.

Pepe made a long pass, but after shaking off Gilardino, he chose to break the ball directly.

His intention to dribble was seen by Kaka, who broke Pepe's ball in advance. The central defender lost the ball to the forest team's defense, but it is also a great opportunity for AC Milan. The Milan fans in the stands gave a huge cheer.

Kaka lost the ball before the sound disappeared.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, with the carduelis behind.

He cut off Pepe's ball, but was stabbed by Wood, who was back in place.

When Kaka was about to accelerate, he found that the ball was gone, his first reaction was to turn around and chase. After eighty minutes of entanglement, he already knew that if he lost the ball, Wood must have done it.

Kaka turned to chase Wood, but Wood didn't mean to pass the ball.

On the one hand, his teammates are too far away from him. On the other hand, there are not too many defensive players in front of him. Gattuso and Ambrosini didn’t come up immediately, which gave him a chance to break through. .

There is another reason why he wants to break through-Kaka is chasing after him.

How did AC Milan score that goal? Isn’t it just that Kaka runs all the way from the middle circle, so that you can’t stop even if you want to?

He has found a chance to fight back.

You come to break my ball, Kaka!

Kaka caught up, he really wanted to steal the ball. But when he wants to reach out to intercept the ball, he will inevitably slow down, and this will give Wood a chance to get away.

Kaka suddenly realized what Wood felt at the time.

Wood's basic dribbling skills are very good. His dribbling is very standard and his speed is not slow. This is due to the basic training he has been insisting on every day since he entered the forest team training base.

He knew that he was born halfway, not a professionally trained player since he was a child, and Dunn knew this too. So both of them are very strict in basic training.

Wood was conscious, Dunn strictly supervised him, and he has developed the ability that Wood now has the ball to make Kaka unable to play.

Kaka wanted to use speed to force overtaking to leave time for tackles, but he found that Wood's speed was just as fast. He had no better way other than running along...

"George Wood's dribbling! It's so rare to see that Wood actually drove the ball to the front court, and Kaka was following him waiting for the opportunity to steal the ball..."

Kaka glanced at the front, Gattuso and Ambrosini had noticed Wood's intentions and planned to come and encircle.

It seemed that Wood couldn't run away.

"Be careful of his passing!!" Maldini yelled from behind, which made Gattuso and Ambrosini have a meal at the same time.

Why did they forget, how could Wood lead the ball to Huanglong? It must be a pass!

Wood also saw the situation in front of him, he was very close to the two midfielders.

He didn’t understand what Maldini was shouting, but he didn’t mean to pass the ball, not because he was confident in his breakthrough, but because he had no time to manage where his teammates went. ...

Seeing that there was a gap between the two people, Wood took the football forward without hesitation!

The football rolled between Gattuso and Ambrosini, and at the same time Wood suddenly accelerated and rushed over before the encirclement was closed!

"Ahhhhh! Beautiful breakthrough! One over two! George Wood's speed is intimidating! Is he really just a midfielder?"

Kaka knew that the situation was not good when he saw Gattuso and Ambrosini. He didn't worry about Wood passing the ball at all. He had a thought in his mind-this kid will definitely break through, he will definitely break through!

Sure enough.

Wood relied on speed to break out of the encirclement of Gattuso and Ambrosini. Kaka was not surprised at all. He bypassed the two teammates and speeded up to catch up.

He always followed Wood, not believing that he could not find the right opportunity to steal the ball. In addition... if it is really dangerous, he doesn't mind fouling right away and risking a card to stop the forest team's attack.

Unexpectedly, Gattuso and Ambrosini were breached. Both Maldini and Nesta were taken aback.

It seems that they all underestimated Wood's speed and determination to break through...

Can't let him go anymore!

This was the only thought after Nesta reacted, and he rushed forward.

※※※

When Wood started to dribble the ball forward, Dunn stood up from the coach's bench. When he saw that Wood broke through Gattuso and Ambrosini's defense by speed, he couldn't help but ran along the changing line towards AC Milan's goal, as if this could help Wood break through more smoothly. AC Milan’s blockade is the same.

While running, he murmured in his mouth:

"Come_on, George..."

The sound grew louder and faster as Wood ran, and seemed to be a drumbeat in response to Wood's footsteps.

※※※

Nesta decided not to let Wood break through from himself, he did what he said!

Because he wanted to break through Gattuso and Ambrosini, Wood took the football out and left his body. Now he wants to speed up the pursuit. After all, he still hasn't controlled the ball. In this case, the rule believes that the attacking side and the defending side have half the chances, and a physical collision will not be simply blamed on the defending side's foul.

It was this opportunity that Nesta wanted to take advantage of. He treated himself as a wall and made Wood hit him.

Kaka saw that Wood and Nesta were about to meet. He believed that Nesta's defense would force Wood to slow down, or even stop completely, when it was his own opportunity.

He is ready to steal the ball.

But... he found that Wood still didn't mean to slow down!

※※※

"Come_on! George!"

Dunn yelled.

Wood and Nesta sprinted at full speed and collided without any suspense.

"God..." the commentator let out a whine.

Kaka wants to pick up and miss the ball, but what about football? He didn't see it, not by Nesta, nor by Wood. Football disappeared? !

The fans of Nottingham Forest in the stands suddenly burst into cheers. If you listen carefully, you will hear that they are calling someone's name.

"...Wood...Wood...Eastwood! Eastwood!!"

Before the collision with Nesta, Wood made reasonable use of the rules acquiescing that both the offensive and the defenders had a half chance. A physical collision was not judged as a foul, and he fell to the ground before Nesta and passed the football shovel to the front.

At that moment he had no time to observe the situation of his surrounding teammates, but he looked up and caught a glimpse of Eastwood the Gypsy. Does he have AC Milan defensive players by his side? Is he offside? Wood didn't have time to think about these situations, he just passed the football to the only teammate in his field of vision, even if the task was completed.

※※※

Forest fans cheered, AC Milan captain Maldini stood on the penalty zone line and raised his right hand, indicating that Eastwood, who had received the football, was offside. The attack was invalid!

Just when Wood was about to meet Nesta, experience told Maldini that he should move forward and let Eastwood at the far end fall into an offside trap.

So he moved forward, and when he glanced at the opponent for the last time, he saw that No.11 in Nottingham Forest was still standing there. He felt that his tactic was successful, so he raised his hand to signal to the referee.

But he did not hear any whistle sound. Where's the lineman?

When Maldini turned to find the linesman, he saw that there was another person before himself and the lineman. The man was wearing AC Milan's white jersey, and his position was far behind him... than No. 11 in Nottingham Forest!

No offside!

Eastwood received the football that Wood shoveled and turned around. He also looked up specifically at the lineman, and found that the lineman did not raise the flag, because AC Milan's third defender Karaze was behind!

Dida originally thought Eastwood was offside and stood in front of the goal line and raised his hand to signal. The next second he found something was wrong and hurriedly attacked.

The unmarked Eastwood stretched his right foot and volleyed vigorously. After deceiving Dida to lose his center of gravity, he took a light shot!

"Spoon!" the Italian commentator exclaimed.

The football crossed Dida's head and fell into the empty goal easily!

"YES! 3:1! In the 83rd minute, this was a goal that almost sealed the victory!" The English commentator stood up from his seat and waved his fist vigorously.

"George Wood's sudden insertion and forcible breakthrough messed up AC Milan's defense line! Kaka can only follow, he can only follow!" The English commentator and the Italian commentator are next door, and this time he finally can. Take a good breath out. "He can't do anything about it, this poor man..."

"Nottingham Forest once again took a two-goal lead! Will this be the last straw to crush the camel?!"

Karadze, who dragged behind and caused Maldini’s offside failure, stood there blankly. He was only paying attention to Wood and Nesta. He had no idea that Wood would be able to send the football to Ith in that situation. At the feet of Twood.

"You have Kaka, we have Wood!" The Forest team fans in the stands sang "Wood's Hymn." "We still have Eastwood! We have forests, you get lost when you come in! Do you want to go out? Do you want to go out? Keep the championship trophy!"

Maldini looked up at the night sky, and at that moment, he was also lost. He has gone through countless games in his career, with victories and defeats, and various feelings. At this moment a familiar thing came to mind, it was a bad feeling...

He felt that he might lose the championship again.

But this thought only flashed in his mind for a second, before he shook his head and threw it away. No, there are still seven minutes, I refuse to admit defeat!

※※※

After the goal, Eastwood turned his head again to find the referee for confirmation. He saw the linesman running towards the center line, and the referee whistled to the center circle-the goal was effective.

The goal is valid!

Eastwood turned around and ran towards the forest team coach.

He opened his arms and yelled in his mouth. Behind him are all the forest players on the field. It must be a stack of Arhats for them to catch.

In front of him, the bench and coaches of the Forest team cheered. His target is Tony Dunn.

It was the guy who told him that he would become a legendary striker in the future. It was the guy who came over and asked him if he wanted to play professional football when he could only play amateur football. It was the guy who planned to give up when he was hospitalized with a serious injury again. Time to tell him that fate will choose one after another, and your fate is the guy you choose.

After listening to him, I went to play professional football; after listening to him, I chose not to give up; after listening to him, Freddy Eastwood is today...

I want to thank you, boss!

Dunn opened his arms and waited to hug Eastwood, but was hit directly by the gypsy who had not braked. A group of people seemed to be premeditated and pressed on.

The stack of Arhats with all the participants is really spectacular...

"Team rules don't allow...Ah!"

Dunn's scream was drowned in the stormy cheers.

"Forest! Forest! Nottingham Forest!"

"Champion! Champion! We are the champion!" (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
