Chapter 275 Volume 3 Red Forest A Good Show About Genius (Part 2)
The Forest team's offense seemed a bit monotonous at Old Trafford. They couldn't make quick breakthroughs on the two sides they were best at, and Albertini was suppressed at the back. As a result, the two forwards of the Forest team were completely useless, and they couldn't open the side lanes and the middle lane. They couldn't even see each other for a long time.
At this time, Tang En especially hoped that the team would have a central midfielder who could share the heavy burden of offensive organization... It doesn't necessarily have to be a midfielder, but it must be a midfielder that focuses on organization.
Franck Ribery dribbled the ball wide, but his subsequent pass to Eastwood was broken by a figure suddenly appearing behind him...
"Cristiano Ronaldo! He came back from the front and blocked Ribery's pass!"
This impatient kid actually took the initiative to grab the ball.
The Forest team's offense was suddenly terminated, and the whole team retreated in a hurry. Ronaldo would not give them time to come back and deploy their defenses. After a successful break, he turned around and made a breakthrough along the side, hoping to use his speed and technique to bring the ball directly to the Forest team's restricted area.
When he took the football out, he saw a figure appearing in front of him.
It was the big-talking forest team No. 13!
It's good to come... If you have the ability, you can guard against me!
Ronaldo rushed towards Wood with the ball, and then a dizzying cycling, fast and deadly...Wood was shaken by him and his center of gravity was a little unstable.
It's now!
Ronaldo flicked the football to the side and accelerated to rush over. When he followed up and wanted to cut in to block Wood behind him, he suddenly felt that his body was leaning against an obstacle...
"Ronaldo wants to force a breakthrough! But George Wood is biting him hard."
Running a few steps side by side with Wood, Ronaldo found that it seemed difficult for him to break through the number 13 in front of him purely by speed. It seemed that he had to find a breakthrough point from his best rhythm change.
In front is the forest team's central defender Matthew Epson. Ronaldo made a plan, leaning on Wood while running, cutting inward, giving Wood a feeling that he will force a breakthrough, and tempting the opponent to speed up.
Wood was really fooled. After feeling that Ronaldo was going to break through, he immediately increased his speed and passed in front of Ronaldo. At this moment, he looked back and saw Ronaldo knocking the outside football from behind him to the inside with the heel of his right foot. At the same time, an emergency stop turned and overtook from behind Wood!
"Look! What an exciting breakthrough... This is Ronaldo's moment! At the Theater of Dreams at Old Trafford, a play called 'Genius' is being staged!"
Seeing Ronaldo get rid of Wood so easily, the commentator threw all the words of praise he could think of at this time to the Portuguese, just like the audience who threw flowers at the actors in the auditorium.
※ ※ ※
Nottingham Forest fans booed loudly in the South Stand at Old Trafford.
Skinny Bill yanked off his earphones, and said to Fat John, "That commentator said it was the genius Ronaldo's moment!"
"Shit! We also have geniuses!" John threw out the empty disposable paper cup in his hand. He was very dissatisfied with the nasty flattery of the commentator. "Come on, boys! Don't let the Manchester bastards make us down! Sing with me—!"
"Wood! Wood! Woody Woody! Grow into a forest! Woody! Woody! Woody Woody! Give your opponent an inch! Want to pass, keep the ball! Stay! Stay! Woody! Woody! Woody Woody! Forest! Forest! Forest! Forest—Victory! Oh La La! Forest Forest!"
Ronaldo heard the huge cheers from the stands at Old Trafford and he loved hearing the crowd applaud his performance, it was a dream theater.
In front was Matthew Epson. He saw Ronaldo knocking the ball a little far away from his body when he passed Wood, so he wanted to step forward and clear the ball. Who knew that he underestimated the Portuguese's speed. The opponent touched the football half a step earlier than him, then jumped up and took advantage of the trend to make a Marseille turn, pulling the football and passing Epson by the shoulder!
"Ah! It's so beautiful! A genius performance!" The narrator shouted like crazy, as if he had seen a good show with several people in succession, and the curtain had begun, just like Henry entering Tottenham As exciting as that ball, it can be broadcast on the BBC title for a year of great goals!
Ronaldo, who had just turned around Epson with Marseilles, thought that there was already a flat river in front of him, but he was bumped unexpectedly and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and rushed to the left with the ball hooked under his feet.
Only then did he have time to see who hit him. The result surprised him—George Wood!
Forest team's No. 13 took advantage of his chance to slow down Epson with a Marseille slew, and caught up again!
This guy……
Is it over?
Seeing that he was hit by Wood in such a way that he changed from facing the goal to facing the wing, Ronaldo and Wood competed. Even if Ruud van Nistelrooy, who came up with an assist, is not far behind him, he doesn't pass the ball, and he wants to compete with the No. 13 beside him!
He stopped suddenly, stepped on the football with his heel, turned around...the person who looked up was still George Wood!
No way, he turned around again, hooked the football away with his feet, and continued to break through towards the bottom line. At first, the two of them opened up half a body, but after two steps, Wood was already parallel to Ronaldo.
In terms of running ability, Ronaldo is far inferior to the man in front of him... His physical fitness is too terrifying!
To put it bluntly, Wood's defense is a secret-using his alien-like physical fitness to stick to the opponent firmly, preventing him from comfortably breaking through and shooting comfortably. So in fact, to deal with him, you need to deal with the ball as soon as possible. Once you let the football stay at your feet for too long, you will find it more and more difficult to handle.
Ronaldo made exactly this mistake.
Seeing that the bottom line is getting closer, he is getting farther and farther away from the goal, so he can only pass.
Riding alone for thousands of miles, the good show of passing five levels and killing six generals is gone.
The commentator's interest has also changed from touting Ronaldo to marveling at Wood's personal defensive ability.
"It's unbelievable that Ronaldo can't get rid of George Wood at all!"
※ ※ ※
Bill, who was watching the game with headphones on, scolded sharply: "Nonsense! Because George is a genius! The kind of genius you don't understand at all!"
※ ※ ※
Near the bottom line, Ronaldo found that the opponent had no intention of slowing down, so he simply accelerated again, and then swung his foot to pass!
This is his last chance to beat his opponent. After all, there is only one Epson in the penalty area of the Forest team. As long as he can fool Wood, he can still find an excellent one-on-one opportunity with the Forest goalkeeper. He was not reconciled to his beautiful breakthrough and only got a corner kick in the end...
Seeing that Ronaldo was going to make a cross, Wood didn't think much about it, and blocked the flight path of the ball with his cross leg. That's what Ronaldo was waiting for. He made an emergency stop and stepped on the football with his heel on the baseline. Because of inertia, he and Wood both slid out.
The only difference is that Wood slid out sideways, while Ronald, who had been prepared for a long time, did not lose his focus. He only needs to adjust two steps, and he can control the ball again when he comes back!
As for the Matthew Epson who pounced on him? He has at least ten ways to break through this stake.
Wood saw Ronaldo miss the cross and left the ball on the pitch and knew he had been duped. So when he flew out, he clasped his hands into claws and grabbed the turf to slow down his speed... Ten ravines were created by him on the field! Like tire tracks left on the road when you brake.
In the end, Wood's hands were full of turf...
Ronaldo finally stopped the charge, he took a small step, which was a preparation for turning around and striding the ball.
Wood used his hands hard, and his body rushed to the court again.
The second step of the Portuguese, this step is a bit bigger than the first step, and he is still adjusting his center of gravity.
Matthew Epson rushed up desperately.
Ruud van Nistelrooy reached for the ball as he ran towards the goal. Now there is no defensive player in front of the Forest team, as long as the pass is passed, it will be a lore! At that time 3:0, the forest team is over!
Wood raised his hand and threw the turf he was holding onto the camera lens of the photojournalist behind him. He seems to have shot a bullet, and when he was still some distance away from the football, he shoveled past!
With Ronaldo's feet finally back on the field and the ball closer to him, it looked like Wood had no chance. Looking down at the football, he didn't notice Wood's movements at all. He stretched out his foot to touch the ball...Suddenly, a leg appeared in his field of vision, and what's worse, that foot was even closer to the football!
Who the hell is this! ?
A yellow figure rushed into his field of vision like a train, and he kicked the football away!
"George Wood——! Incredible steal! No one could have imagined that the opportunity that everyone gave up would allow him to snatch it back!"
The number "13" flashed past Ronaldo's eyes. He completely forgot what he was going to do, and stopped there with his legs raised, without reacting.
From the beginning to the end, he never completely got rid of that number 13, and in the end he was successfully countered by the opponent! He couldn't believe his eyes...
※ ※ ※
The singing and applause at the Theater of Dreams died down as Wood saw Ronaldo tackle early. There is only one exception...
The Nottingham Sunley fans in the South Stand were boiling. They sang the song written for Wood and shouted together at the end: "This is a fucking genius!!"
