Godfather Of Champions

Mark Hughes was still having a headache for his wing tactics being restrained by Dunn **** for tat, but this goal gave him inspiration.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the players to celebrate the goal frantically, he called Elano from the field and told him to decide whether to play the wing or take the center according to his own observations in future attacks.

The person who should have a headache now is Tony Dunn.

After Bendtner scored a goal, he became more active, and his teammates also consciously passed the ball to him, allowing him to complete the final shot. It seems that the whole Manchester City team hopes that Bendtner will win that game within the team.

The boos of Nottingham Forest fans became more and more crazy as Bendtner became active. It can be said that when Bendtner was holding the ball, no other sounds could be heard in the city stadium at that moment, even across the other side of the Trent River, you could clearly hear the harsh hiss.

"I have never seen the fans of Nottingham Forest treat someone so crazy..." Andy Gray was also scared, he muttered.

"Maybe it was stimulated by the loss of the ball, and also by Bendtner's celebration of the goal. So I said, this is a very exciting game! Haha, only four minutes into the game, Nottingham Forest I'm behind! How should Dunn play in the following game?"

※※※

Dunn did feel a headache. The problem now is that Elano is in the center and he can decide whether this attack will hit the center or the wing. If he still insists on the full-backs to insert assists, then George Wood and Thiago will be very hard-they have to make up defenses and take care of the center. The Forest team will also lose the ball.

Dunn thought for a while, and decided to temporarily give up his intention to assist the full-back. During this time, solid defense is more important.

He walked to the sidelines, whistled to the court, waved to indicate that the two full-backs who were still in front of him would withdraw to defend.

Bell and Rafinha looked at the empty sidewalk behind them, and ran away somewhat reluctantly.

George Wood and Thiago returned to the center and completely blocked Elano's line of play. Now that the full-back does not assist, Nottingham Forest's offense on the wing depends entirely on the two full-backs.

But Dunn felt that this effect was not good enough. After all, without the full-back assists, the team's offense lacked levels and changes, and it was too easy to fall into the opponent's dense defense.

From the sidelines, he signaled two midfielders to take turns in assists.

George Wood became active.

In this game, Nottingham Forest has a 451 formation. There are five people in the midfield. The distance between the front midfielder Van der Vaart and the back midfielder is a bit far away. The forward Van Nistelrooy is at the forefront alone. How do you connect the backcourt and the frontcourt?

One way is to stay on the sidelines, Ribery and Lennon, but they are mainly active on the sidelines. The series in the middle is inserted near the back of the waist.

George Wood is now very proficient in post-insertion and participation in the offense, and he has long since run up and didn't know what to do.

The ball is coming from Thiago, and Wood dribbles forward. When Elano came up to interfere, he passed the football to Ribery, who was adducted, and ran forward, hitting a wall with Ribery, and then passed the football to Van der Vaart. He didn't just go back, but continued to run forward, in a posture of going into the penalty area.

Forcing Manchester City to disperse their forces to defend him again. Van der Vaart's defensive pressure was slightly reduced, and he was seen to shoot straight from the foot and the football was slightly higher than the crossbar.

At this time Wood was turning around and running back, running back to his defensive position.

※※※

After seeing the Forest team change their tactics, Bendtner had a lot less chance of getting the ball in the front. He began to retrace the ball.

Kompany wanted to follow, but told Wood to stop it with a gesture.

Bendtner has entered the realm of his George Wood.

Bendtner raised his hand in midfield for the ball. Robinho passed Lennon and passed the football to him. As soon as the football reached his feet, Bendtner felt a huge momentum coming from behind his body.

He leaned back quickly to protect the football, but in this way he also lost the opportunity to turn around.

He knows who gave it just now.

The corners of his mouth curled up, such a confrontation is really rare...

He knew he couldn't turn around now, and Ribery was returning to defense at high speed. Once he was double-teamed, it was over. He could only pass the football to Robinho who ran up to meet him.

Thiago gets involved with Robinho, while Wood waits for the opportunity. Bendtner ran forward while continuing to raise his hand for the ball.

When Robinho was entangled with Tiago, he picked up the football with his toes, passed Tiago, and flew towards Bendtner, who was advancing.

Bendtner turned sideways to catch the ball, but George Wood's toe tipped up waiting for him-he was the first to kick the football that was still in the air.

"It's not easy to get rid of Wood!" Gray shouted. I don't know if he regretted Bentner or praised George Wood for his flexibility and courage.

※※※

When Bendtner retraced the midfielder again to get the ball, this time George Wood didn't even give him a chance to protect the ball, and he pushed Bendtner down with the ball from behind.

Bendtner jumped up from the ground and signaled to the running referee that he should give Wood a card. This was a foul behind him!

Seeing his action, the boos on the scene became more enthusiastic...

Even Pepe couldn't see it and rushed to question Bendtner. Fortunately, Tiago was called to stay in the middle of the road, otherwise the two sides might have conflicted with this.

Van der Vaart was so close that he did not directly question Bendtner. Just applauding him from the side, the irony and disdain couldn't be more obvious.

Bendtner doesn't care what the fans and former teammates think of him. He is still pestering the referee, reluctantly trying to get a card for Wood-if it is a red card, even better!

Wood did not come forward to argue, he slowly got up from the ground. Waving to let everyone go, there is no fun here.

Then he stood quietly, waiting for the referee's final judgment.

The referee still came over and showed Wood a yellow card.

Boos is more loud...

Dunn was still sitting in his seat, and Chris Luck couldn't help it anymore. He rushed to the sidelines and cursed the "traitor" Bendtner: "Think about who raised you, bastard!"

Dunn looked at the excited back of his colleague, shrugged and said to Tang next to him: "From another angle...at least Ben Turner has professional ethics..."

※※※

"Bentner's wish came true, George Wood has a yellow card on his back. The next game will not be good for Wood."

"That's not necessarily true. For George Wood, as long as he is not sent off, he should kick and kick."

Martin Taylor was right. After the game restarted, George Wood's defense was still fierce. As if not caring about the yellow card on his back.

But Dunn couldn't care less, he instructed Thiago to share more defensive tasks, called George Wood to participate in some offenses, and put his experience on how to equalize the score.

Yes, equalize the score. Nottingham Forest must equalize before the end of the first half. Otherwise, the Forest team entering the locker room will be a dejected, or impetuous-anyway, not Dunn wants to see-the team. And Manchester City will have high morale, thinking that the Forest team can't help them.

Dunn looked at the watch on his wrist, and the first half had been 27 minutes.

The game is now in a stalemate. Manchester City’s offense encountered the forest team’s copper and iron walls and was forced to stop, and the forest team’s offense was also met with strong resistance from Manchester City. Everyone has some opportunities, but no one can grasp it again.

※※※

Van Nistelrooy was at the forefront alone, looking a little helpless in the opponent's penalty area. In fact, he is not scoring points. Since only one striker was arranged in this game, his role is to create scoring opportunities for those behind. It’s a pity that the two full-backs’ assists were cancelled by Dunn. The forest team’s offensive tactics are a bit simple-Ribery and Lennon can either play bottom or cut inside. Seeing Van der Vaart close to the penalty area, as long as he wants to shoot from a long distance or pass through Fan. Nistelrooy. George Wood used to pass the ball more often. Manchester City's defensive formation remains quite complete, no matter how the Forest team mobilizes, their defensive line will not be chaotic. It can be seen that Mark Hughes has made great efforts in how to prevent the forest team from sneaking. Although it is used to prevent the sneak attack, this kind of dense defense has caused the Forest team's positional warfare to encounter trouble.

Hughes's idea in this game is very simple, a solid defense in the backcourt, and a dense defensive formation to compress the space and time for the Forest team to counterattack. The frontcourt uses Bendtner, a powerful center, and the excellent breakthrough ability of the wing to score. It's just that I didn't expect that the flank didn't fight, but the flowers bloomed in the middle.

Even though Dunn quickly readjusted his layout, it didn't help. Now Manchester City leads by one goal. As long as they continue to defend firmly, it is not impossible for away to take three points with this goal.

As the manager of Manchester City, he knows the bet the players make. But between winning and gambling, he will choose to win without hesitation.

Seeing that the first half was about to end, Hughes decided to let the team retreat as a whole, shrink the formation, and decided to counterattack Nottingham Forest.

Of course Dunn knew what Hughes was thinking about, but now he had to push it out because there was not much time left. He didn't want to walk into the locker room with one point behind.

With a big wave, Bell and Rafinha, who had been suppressed for more than 30 minutes, attacked again.

Ten minutes before the end of the first half, the Forest team launched their first offensive frenzy in this game.

※※※

"Bring out your energy!!" Fat John yelled to the friends behind him in the stands, "Don't always think of booing the Danish boys! What our team needs now is not booing their opponents, but cheering them. ! Who of you wants to see us fall behind and enter the intermission? Anyway, I don’t want to! Then I won’t even have an appetite for alcohol! Guys, sing ours—"

"Ooo-Forest Forest! Nottingham Forest!"

"...Forest forest! Nottingham Forest! We are invincible, we are invincible! We are the best team in the world... We scare our opponents, we scare them! Because the whole world is in the palm of our hands— —"

"Ooo-Woodwood, grow into a forest! Woodwood, grow into a forest!"

※※※

George Wood is getting the ball.

Still dribbling forward from the back position. Elano's block was easily thrown off by him, and the Brazilian's defense was purely symbolic...

When he got here in Ireland, he met resistance. But he then passed the football to Van der Vaart. Van der Vaart couldn't turn around, and passed the ball to Wood, who gave a kick to Lennon on the wing.

Lennon made a pass and Van Nistelrooy jumped for the top!

The football was knocked out by Dunn.

It fell to George Wood's feet again.

He is going to shoot, but no one is fooled-everyone knows how bad Wood's shooting is.

Sure enough, Wood didn't really shoot from 35 meters away from the goal. He passed the football to Thiago who had caught up from behind and withdrew to defend. He and Thiago made a transition. Now Tiago is in charge of the offense and his defense is his.

The forest team's offense was quickly ended by Manchester City's big feet.

Ashley Young dribbled the ball along the wing. Bell assists up, here is empty, this is the perfect opportunity for Manchester City to expand the score before the end of the first half!

But his dribble was stopped by George Wood. Wood cut the ball under Ashley Young with a beautiful tackle. Then he got up and took the ball to throw away Ashley Young who had just got up.

Thiago saw Wood coming up and did not go back to defend. With little left in the first half, he wanted to stay in the frontcourt and participate in the offense.

Elano was the first to stop Wood again. This time he almost succeeded. Unfortunately, he was defeated in a physical confrontation and failed to prevent Wood's forcible breakthrough.

After throwing away Elano by body and speed, Wood made a posture to pass the ball to Van der Vaart-he adjusted the direction of the football and ran facing Van der Vaart.

When Ireland turned his attention to the Dutch midfielder, he gave the football to Thiago next to him.

Then he ran to the front of the penalty area.

Thiago took a long shot, this time someone believed. Ireland turned and rushed back. Thiago passed the ball to Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart pushed the football directly into the crowd in the penalty area without stopping the ball.

"George Wood!"

Wood received the ball sideways, facing Dunn's defense, he rushed forward without fear.

The two collided together, the football jumped out, Dunn fell to the ground, and George Wood seemed to be swooping down.

At this time, his strong body played a role again, and he was able to get up from the ground instantly with his hands and feet!

"Wood fouled?"

"No, reasonable collision!"

Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart saw that the opponent had brought the ball into the penalty area and hurried out.

Wood has adjusted his posture and center of gravity, and now he is behind all Manchester City defenders, facing Hart and the goal behind him. He stretched his right leg.

Hart opened his arms and threw out sideways. He wanted to stop Wood from volleying!

Richards also didn't care whether a tackle from the back of the penalty area would be sentenced to a penalty, and he shoveled towards Wood from behind.

When they saw Wood's right thigh, everyone thought it must be a strong volley-because it was consistent with Wood's usual impression.

Hart and Richards also followed this expectation when they went to defend the ball-they both went to save three ways-if Wood shoots the ball up three ways, there will only be one result: shot flying.

No one would believe that Wood's right foot from the goal kick was drawn quickly, and it hit the football like a whip.

then……

The football jumped high, bypassing Richards' feet and Hart's body, drew a parabola, and fell directly into the goal...

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Everyone opened their mouths, staring dumbfounded at the football still jumping in the goal.

what happened?

Andy Gray's hysterical scream broke the silence: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! George Wood, who can shoot in the face of an empty goal, actually scored such a wonderful artwork! There must be something wrong with this world..."

Tony Dunn, who was sitting on the coach’s bench by Bendtner, rushed out of the seat holding his head at this moment. He looked at George Wood in the distance with alien eyes, and said something in his mouth: "Diego Maradona, Bruno Conte, Francisco Totti, soul possessed at this moment..."

The three names he chanted are all professional shooting experts in world football.

"I can't believe it..." Chris Lak was still surprised when he held his head. "...Own eyes."

Only Tang Zhen calmed down: "When I practiced shooting for him, he tried. But he never succeeded once..."

※※※

After George Wood shot the football into the goal, he was shoveled to the ground by Richards, who could not hold his feet. As soon as he stood up, he was yelled and pushed down again by the crowd of players. Bell lay on him, holding his head, noses against each other, and opened his mouth and asked loudly, "How did you do this?!"

"I... I don't know, I just think that if you pick up football, you might score higher..."

Ribery slid in from the other side, and when he heard Wood say so, he squeezed his neck hard: "So you did it on purpose! Your kid... stole the limelight from all of us!"

"What else would you shoot? How about'Scorpio' next time, George!" Van der Vaart patted his head with a grin.

Everyone in the stands stood up from their seats. They raised their hands, waved their scarves, and sang praises in unison in the stands.

The people on the Manchester City side are all dumbfounded. They know how George Wood's shooting skills are. In England, everyone knows that he is not good at shooting.

Unexpectedly, Wood used a difficult shot to break the goal guarded by Joe Hart and tie the score to 1:1!

Even Bendtner and Ashley Young, who once played with him, looked surprised. Is that wood beaten with hormones? Why did you spoon shot suddenly?

"Well, it doesn't matter where the world goes wrong, and it doesn't matter how George Wood did it. The fact is that he scored the equalizer goal. Before the end of the first half, Nottingham Forest took the game between the two sides. Pull back to the starting point!"

"This is George Wood's first goal this season, so beautiful...enough to be the best goal of the round!'Wooden spoon', hahahaha!" (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please log in www.qidian.com, more chapters, support authors, support genuine reading!)
