Chapter 269: Volume 3: Red Forest Head-to-Head (Part 2)

All of Manchester United's players focused on the three Forest players in the penalty area. Even Albertini was only blocked by Roy Keane.

After George Wood stopped the ball, there was no Manchester United player wearing a red home jersey within five or six meters of him!

No one thought that Wood, who had almost never participated in the offense before, would appear so close to the opponent's penalty area.

Even the narrator didn't expect it, he exclaimed: "George Wood! When did he appear here?!"

No one came up to interfere with his position, he can fully adjust the distance between the football and himself, then swing his legs calmly, and then vigorously blast towards the football...

Albertini did not shout from the side as usual: "Shoot!" Instead, he just clenched his fist quietly, as if to help Wood accumulate energy.

Wood looked down at the football under his feet, and Albertini's words kept ringing in his mind:

How do you know you can't if you don't try it?

Remember the shooting drills you received in the youth team? What did the coach say? Stretched arch? ……do not care!

He swung his right leg.

"George_Woooooo——Wow..." The commentator was going to shout Wood's shot with a drawn voice, but the last shot really made him unable to get excited...

Wood tried his best to shoot the football to the second floor of the North Stand...

United goalkeeper Yankee Tim Howard, who was still nervous before Wood's shot, only made a symbolic jump when he saw the ball go flying, without even raising his hand - the ball was ten minutes away from the goal. Rice too!

"The midfielder Wood made a big clearance and kicked the ball to the stands." The commentator can only describe the shot just now, because it is more in line with the situation just now.

Wood was a little disappointed with his own performance, and he stared blankly at the stand behind the Manchester United goal. Until Albertini came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job."

Wood didn't understand why the captain said that, and he looked at Albertini suspiciously.

"This is a good start." The kind Italian smiled.

Wood's poor shot was booed by the United fans... how unfriendly they were.

Off the field, Chris Rucker saw that Wood had not chosen to pass the ball just now, but had a rare direct shot. He turned his head and looked at Twain. Tang En saw doubt and incomprehension in the assistant coach's eyes, he shrugged: "It's not what I meant."

This scene is so familiar... Tang En remembered that in the game against Arsenal, Albertini also encouraged Wood to take the initiative to advance and participate in the attack.

I saw the scene where Albertini ran up to comfort after Wood shot the ball away. Tang En showed a smile on his face, this veteran, he really found the right one!

Chris Lark asked from the side: "Need to remind him, Tony?"

Tang En shook his head: "No, why remind him? David, don't you think this is very good?"

"But we wasted a great opportunity..."

"Compared with an expected growth, I am willing to waste ten such opportunities. David, you also came out of the youth academy. Do you remember what young players need most?"

Chris Rucker scratched his head: "Uh, I guess it's not the Premier League now? It's not the same as the youth team game..."

"Of course, it's the Premier League. But we have a lot of talented young people, why do they play in our team, because we can give them a lot of opportunities, more opportunities than anywhere else. For this kind of Not only can we not criticize and stop useful attempts, but we also need to encourage them, which I think is no different from that in the youth team." After speaking, Tang En stood up and walked to the sidelines, then gave George Wood and Albertini a thumbs up. thumbs up.

After finishing this, he walked back, sat on the coach's bench, and continued to say to David Chris Lack: "Of course, about George's shooting... I think it is necessary to consider adding more for him in daily training." Shooting training..."

Chris Lack smiled: "Tony, I remembered that you took George to the youth team training base to find me. What made you think so highly of him?"

Of course, Tang En couldn't say that he took Wood to the youth training base in the first place to deal with that silly boy.

"Because I see a quality that many people don't have in him: stupid."

"Stupid?" Chris Rack didn't quite understand.

"Well... because he is stupid, he knows that he needs to work harder to stand on the court like others. Because he is stupid, he never dares to slack off. You saw him in training Are you lazy?"

Chris Rack shook his head: "I only saw him practice extra for himself."

"Yes. It's because he knows that he is still a long way from the others. If he doesn't work hard, it is impossible to become a qualified professional player. To be honest, I didn't see any talent in him at the time. His physical fitness might still be promising as a track and field athlete. But then his performance completely conquered me, and I decided to give him a chance." Having said that, Tang En looked at the field with his chin propped up.

United were attacking, with George Wood behind captain Albertini, eyeing the opposition's players warily. Compared with the George Wood who appeared on the sidelines of the Forest team's training ground for the first time and clamored that he must receive training in the first team, he was completely complete, not only looking more like a professional player.

He's a real professional now, purer than many players who are more famous and make more money than him.

"George Wood at Nottingham Forest squandered their best chance to score since the start of the game and maybe they will soon regret the indiscretion. Because they faced Manchester United! There will be penalties for squandering chances !"

While the commentator was talking, Manchester United's offense was blocked by George Wood and Albertini.

Scholes tried to pass Albertini, and then attracted Wood to come up and then distribute the ball.

Albertini hadn't completely swayed by yet, and George Wood had already rushed up, making a fierce but not foul frontal tackle. Worried about his injury, Scholes jumped up and Wood slid under his crotch to scoop the ball away.

But Manchester United's offensive is not over yet!

Roy Keane charged up after Scholes...

Wood also got up from the ground and continued to pounce on the football.

The Manchester United captain shoots at the ball!

"Roy—"

The howl of the commentator had just started, and the football bounced back suddenly.

The muffled sound could be heard throughout the stadium. Keane's powerful shot hit the face of George Wood, who jumped to block his shot.

This shot was so powerful that the football bounced high and flew straight out of the sideline from the middle of the front of the penalty area, while Wood fell backwards and fell to the ground on his back like a sandbag!
