Chapter 309: Volume 3: Red Forest, Not Reconciled (Part 1)

Now the forest team must make adjustments immediately. Albertini alone in the middle will definitely not be able to withstand the indiscriminate bombing of Sporting Lisbon. Jose Pesero's reaction was so fast that Dunn even thought that he had planned the conflict between Roschenback and George Wood. Otherwise, why would Sporting Lisbon have adjusted their tactics just after Wood left the field?

The visiting team, Sporting Lisbon, focused their offense on the middle of the field, and they planned to use their numerical advantage to storm Forest's defense in the middle. The center of the court is different from the side. This is the most dangerous area, but also the most difficult to break through. Almost all teams will hoard heavy troops in the middle when defending, and direct the opponent's offensive to the side.

Compared with the long and narrow side, the wide center is more difficult to defend. Once there is a problem, the opponent's attack will directly face the own goal from the best angle and the best position. But the wing is different, the offensive side needs one more procedure-pass the ball from the wing to the center.

Why the role of the midfielder in a team is so important is related to this. The defensive midfielder is the last line of defense in front of the central defender and is the key to adding strategic depth to the defense. If the defensive midfielder is not qualified, then his goal will be exposed to the opponent's long-range artillery fire for a long time, and the defensive type of the central defender will be useless-the defense without depth will always be penetrated by a straight ball . Think about how embarrassing Real Madrid was in the game without Makelele, and you will know the role of an excellent midfielder.

This is the role played by George Wood on the field. With him by his side, Albertini can safely assist. Even in defense, the Italian veteran will not be under too much pressure.

Now without Wood, who runs tirelessly and can always appear where needed in time, Albertini's pressure has increased sharply. He needs to face the repeated impact of Sporting Lisbon in a very short period of time. Even if he has rich experience, there will inevitably be loopholes.

Gunnarsen stepped in and replaced Ashley Young on the field to strengthen the defense and stabilize the defense in the middle of the midfield. And Ribery moved to the front midfielder position.

After making such an adjustment, Dunn had already made up his mind to stick around until the end of the game.

For Sporting Lisbon, Pesero also made a substitution after making adjustments to his main attacking direction. Roschenback confirmed that he could not continue the game. According to the preliminary diagnosis of the team doctor, his ankle was probably torn. At the same time that Wood stomped on it, Roschenbach just turned around, and the two forces twisted together, and the result was like this...

If Roschenbach didn't want to punish Wood with a bad stomach at the beginning, he just jumped up and avoided it, maybe it was just a scratch or a bruise, but he wanted to play tricks, but he was caught instead. Wood was clouded. It's really impossible to steal a chicken and lose a lot of rice. I lost my wife and lost my army.

Sporting Lisbon did not make a substitution immediately after Roschenbach left the field, but waited for about three minutes. During these three minutes, they sacrificed their numerical advantage in order to wait for one person.

When that guy takes off his vest and stands on the sidelines, waiting to get on. Only then did Tang En see clearly who he was.

He thought this person looked familiar before, but he couldn't immediately remember who it was.

On the back of the green and white jersey is the name of the player who is about to play: Nani.

Nani.

Nani? !

Tang En was surprised.

How could he appear here? How could he appear here at this time?

Any FM player may not know the name "Nani". But Nani in his impression should not appear in the first team of Sporting Lisbon so early... Could it be because his arrival made Nani's debut earlier?

The head coach of Sporting Lisbon, Pesero, sent Nani out of helplessness. Rochenbach's injury and leaving the field two goals behind the away game made him simply decide to put all his eggs in one basket and give it his all. Nani's performance in the youth team is very, very good, but he has no experience in representing the first team. At this time, he is sent to play in the hope that his drive can bring unexpected surprises to the team.

The Forest team has now given up the side lanes and intends to stick to the middle lane. Sporting Lisbon will send a young boy who can attack on the left and right sides. He has excellent skills and can break through even if he is surrounded by himself.

When Nani touched the ball for the first time, Dunn firmly believed that the person in front of him was Nani. His amazing dribbling made the Forest team's defense full of holes. Without George Wood, it is not just as simple as one person missing, maybe the Forest team is missing two people.

Pesero gave Nani a very simple task. Go to the left and right sides, whichever side has the chance to be free, go to that side, make a breakthrough after getting the ball, disrupt the Forest team's defense, and then wait for the opportunity to pass or shoot.

This arrangement poses a great threat to Nottingham Forest and is very targeted.

Even if Gunnarson is replaced, the improvement in defense will not be great. After all, on the one hand, Gunnarsson has too few opportunities to play and cannot maintain his state, not to mention playing in a hurry now. On the other hand, it is because his strength is far from the current level of the game. It was also a helpless move to replace him.

Before the end of the first half, two substitutions had already been used up. There was nothing Twain could do in this situation, he could only sit on the sidelines and continue to watch where the game would go.

It's impossible for him to use all three substitutions right now, so he must keep one in hand just in case...

※ ※ ※

The shouts of the Sporting Lisbon fans in the stands became louder. As long as Nani got the ball, those away fans who came from afar would become very excited. Nani didn't let them down either. His sharp breakthroughs made the Forest team's defense extremely embarrassed.

Albertini watched Nani active on both sides, but there was no way to stop him.

The Forest team's defense frequently ran out.

Tang En looked at the game time, and there were still seven minutes before the end of the first half. As long as he persists until halftime, he believes he will find a way to deal with the situation.

But the question is, will Sporting Lisbon, who is crazy about seizing this opportunity to recover the score gap, give him a chance to wait until halftime to adjust?

Time was passing by every minute and every second. Tang En stood on the sidelines, waiting anxiously for the half-time whistle to sound.

Nani received another pass from his teammates.

Facing Leighton Barnes' defense, Nani seemed confident. He seems to be a player who was born to see big scenes. At present, his team is behind by two goals in the away game. Not only did it not make him disheartened, but it even inspired his fighting spirit.

The upper body swayed to the left, and Leighton Barnes moved accordingly. At the same time, Nani turned the ball to the right, about to break through!

How could it be possible for you to get what you want?

Barnes struggled to change his center of gravity, turned around and threw himself at Nani. He saw Nani raising his foot to make a pass, so he flew desperately to block the pass. This time, he could no longer stop Nani from behind...

Nani saw Barnes fly out to block his pass, and immediately turned the pass into a dunk, dunking the football into the penalty area!

"Nani! He broke through!"

When a point is broken, the impact is extended to the entire surface.

Barnes was breached, and the Forest team's defense had to make a chain reaction. Hierro went to fill Barnes' position, Matthew Epson went to fill Hierro's position, and Zimbonda received a shot from inside the penalty area. The central defender, Albertini must also drop back into the penalty area to help defend.

Hierro and Gunnarsson rushed up to defend Nani from two different directions, but Nani passed the ball before the encirclement closed. His goal was not the Brazilian striker Ledson who was waiting for the cross in the goalkeeper, but Suddenly it came to the blank area behind a group of people-inside the penalty area, near the penalty spot.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Nani's breakthrough. They all only paid attention to the front of the door, but no one paid attention to what was behind them. Now, this loophole is caught by Nani, and Hugo_Viana (Hugo_Viana) is in his hands.

"Ugo Viana! There is no suspense, the goal has been scored!!"

Viana's powerful shot passed through the crowd. When van der Sar, who was blocked by those people, saw the football appearing in his field of vision, it was too late to make any saves. He watched the football fly by him. The goal was scored, and then the fans of the visiting team behind them burst into loud cheers!

"Sporting Lisbon tied the score at 1:2! Now the first half is not over, it seems that the result of this game is not predetermined, they still have a chance! Nani! This 18-year-old boy is eye-catching As soon as he shined, his breakthrough created a chance for Viana to score. The defense of the Forest team has no way to deal with him! He has never played a game for the first team, and the first time he played is in such an important UEFA Cup In the quarter-finals, his performance was perfect! This Portuguese team that has cultivated Luis Figo, Simão, Quaresma, and Cristiano Ronaldo has another new star on the wing!"

※ ※ ※

Some people are happy and others are sad.

The cheers from Sporting Lisbon's bench and the coach's bench reached the Forest team. Tang En cursed angrily, turned back to the coach's bench, and sat down. Well, now his heart doesn't have to hang in mid-air, fluttering. Anyway, Sporting Lisbon has already scored, and it is too late to say anything now.

Nani! Nani... If I had known today, I would have brought you from Portugal to England last summer!

You bastard boy, you are famous, I am unlucky.

The first half ended a few minutes after Sporting equalized the score, and although the team was still behind, Nani was in a good mood. He didn't expect his debut performance to be so good. Tang En looked at this cheerful Portuguese boy, curled his lips, turned and walked to the locker room first.
