Chapter 376: Volume 3: The Red Forest: The War Between the Two 3 (Part 1)

The game has entered a high-confrontation and fast-paced situation from the very beginning.

Mourinho and Twain's team did not make any attempts, and directly exchanged fire.

The Forest team got the right to serve in the coin guessing before the game. From the referee blowing the kick-off whistle, the Forest team sent the football to Chelsea's goal with three passes and two kicks.

Mark Viduka, the starting center of this game, competed with Terry in front of the goal. In the end, he succeeded in hitting the football, but was interfered by Terry and failed to hit the right position. The football slid past the goal, shocking the Chelsea people into a cold sweat.

There was a loud "woo" sound from the stands.

"The home team Nottingham Forest's first attack posed a threat to Chelsea! It was completely different from the Forest team's away game against Arsenal. From the beginning of this game, the two sides did not intend to retain any strength..."

"It's going to be a fantastic game."

"That's right, that's right, it's very exciting and intense... The offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides are very fast. While talking, Chelsea's counterattack has hit the forest team's 30-meter area...Lampard's long shot-! Crossbar! What a pity Already!"

Lampard held his head in disbelief that his shot could bypass Van der Sar's ten fingers, but was defeated in front of the crossbar. There was another huge inhalation sound from the stands of the city stadium.

Van der Sar was lying on the ground, looking at the trembling beam above his head, still feeling terrified.

Lampard's shot was too sudden. He thought that Chelsea's main midfielder would choose to pass the ball, so he was not ready for a long shot. Unexpectedly...

It wasn't just Van der Sar who had lingering fears, Tang En's heart almost jumped out of his throat just now. He saw the ball go past the unprepared Van der Sar and thought it was going in...

"In the opening two minutes, both sides had a wonderful attack. I hope that the two teams can slow down a little... Otherwise, I will not have the opportunity to introduce the starting lineup and substitute lineup of both sides in today's game."

Lineker, who was next to him, laughed in the microphone: "I don't think they will do what you want, John. You have to play around and divide the list into several parts to introduce!"

※ ※ ※

Of course, Mortensen still found an opportunity to finish introducing the two sides' rosters, but his speaking speed was twice as fast as usual, otherwise he might have missed a very exciting scene.

Chelsea is still Mourinho's traditional 433, the goalkeeper Cech (Petr_Cech), the four defenders are Paulo Ferreira (Paulo_Ferreira), John_Terry (John_Terry), Ricardo Carvalho (Ricardo_Carvalho), William Gallas (William_Gallas). The three midfielders are Frank Lampard, Tiago and Makelele. The three strikers are Didier_Drogba (Didier_Drogba), Robben (Robben), Duff (Duff).

The Forest team is still the traditional 442. The goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and the two central defenders are Piqué and Pepe. They have secured their positions as the team's main force with their actual performance. The Forest team has only conceded four goals so far this season. The improvement in defense has been very effective. obvious. Chimbonda started at right back and Leighton Barnes at left back. The midfielders stand in parallel, from left to right are Frank Ribery, George Wood, Mikel Arteta, Ashley Young. The two strikers are a tall and fast combination, the center Mark Viduka and the fast second striker Nicolas Anelka.

Mourinho paid great attention to wing attacks. Robben and Duff are both good players in wing assaults. At the same time, there are wing talents like Sean Wright Phillips sitting on the bench. The wing attack is their guarantee of victory.

Tang En's Nottingham Forest was in the same situation as Chelsea. Although there are no wingers like Robben and Duff, since last season, Forest's two wingers have attracted widespread attention. Many teams are salivating over Franck Ribery and Ashley Young. Tang En has already rejected many teams' offers for these two this summer. Two extremely fast full-backs, who can lead and attack, pass and shoot, advance, attack, retreat and defend, are much more useful than wingers.

In fact, in today's football, the boundaries between wingers and full-backs are becoming more and more blurred. Franck Ribery and Ashley Young can be both wingers and wingers, depending on tactical needs.

Facing Chelsea's winger tactics, Twain's response was to firmly nail the back line at the back. The two full backs were not allowed to assist, and they were not allowed to give Robben and Duff space to sprint and accelerate. They could use foul tactics when necessary. At the same time, Tang En didn't intend to focus on defense. The easiest way to make Chelsea's flanks more honest was to make their flanks aggressive and overwhelm the opponent.

Franck Ribery and Ashley Young will be Forest's main attacking corridors in this game, with most of the offense going through their feet to get the football up the line.

Arteta is different from Lampard, he is more organized in the midfield, rather than dribbling the ball to the front to score goals, although his own scoring ability is not weak, and he has an excellent kick Set ball technique.

The most important link in Chelsea's defensive system is not captain John Terry, nor world-class goalkeeper Petr Cech, but thirty-two-year-old French veteran Makelele. His blocking in the midfield will be the key to the success or failure of Chelsea's defense.

Chelsea have Makelele, Nottingham Forest have George Wood. Makelele's body is not very strong, and his defense relies more on experience, while George Wood's defense is completed by his body that is not as strong as a human on earth. Needless to say, the importance of Wood in the Forest team, anyway, with him, the Forest team will feel very at ease regardless of the frontcourt players or the backcourt players...

Chelsea's three midfielders seem to have fewer people than Forest's four midfielders. In fact, it can be seen this way-two of Chelsea's three midfielders are defensive midfielders, Lampard is a forward midfielder, and Robben and Duff can be regarded as two full-backs. In this way, Chelsea has five midfielders.

However, the number does not mean that it is strong.

Twenty minutes into the game so far, Forest and Chelsea are evenly divided, which can be seen in the midfield. The current situation of the game is in a delicate balance. Both sides are attacking fiercely and switching between offense and defense very quickly. It seems that both have a lot of opportunities, but they cannot grasp them.

The score is still 0:0.

"The subtitles are displayed on the screen, and the game has been going on for 20 minutes... It's been 20 minutes before we know it! This time flies so fast. The fierce competition between the two sides made us ignore the passage of time. Apart from the score, this It was a perfect game!"

"But in such a game, scoring is only a matter of time. If this game ends 0:0, it must be very ironic. Let's see who will break this deadlock and which side the balance will lean..."

As soon as Lineker finished speaking, Chelsea launched an attack. This was a sudden attack, a direct long pass from the backcourt, and Robben was found on the wing. Robben's first stop was perfect... He stopped not far in front of him, he took advantage of the momentum to accelerate, and passed Zimbunda who came up to defend him without any hindrance!

The Forest team's defense was broken, and Van der Sar's goal was critical!

Robben looked up at the direction of the goal, then changed direction and accelerated. In the middle, Drogba raised his arms to follow up. Piqué and Pepe did not dare to slack off, one after the other closely defending. George Wood is chasing back at high speed from outside the box and his target is Robben.

The angle is very small, and everyone thought Robben would pass the ball. After all, even if Drogba is seen dead, there is still Lampard outside the penalty area. George Wood chose to chase Robben back, which means that Lampard will be unmarked for a period of time.

As long as Robben is selfless enough, he can create an opportunity for Lampard to shoot vigorously without marking. But will Robben pass the ball?

It is a little difficult for Robben to pass the ball to others when he is unmarked and dribbles into the penalty area...

Robben looked up again, he was not looking for someone, but was confirming the position of the goalkeeper and the angle of the shot. He slowed down and adjusted the football under his feet.

George Wood was already close at hand, he no longer cared that he was in the penalty area, and flew forward-a tackle!

At the same time, Robben flicked his calf quickly and shot!

The football jumped in front of Wood's toes, and then got into the goal from the unprepared Van der Sar!

The ball went out, and Robben jumped up, avoiding Wood's deadly tackle.

"What_GOOOOAL! What_GOOOOAL!! It was Chelsea who broke the deadlock! The first goal was the visiting team Chelsea. They led the home team Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the away game!"

"The scale has tipped and it's in Chelsea's favor!"

"What an unexpected blow, the Forest team's two full-backs are still standing near the halfway line, and Robben is already celebrating his goal!"

Mourinho on the sidelines ran for about ten meters along the sideline after seeing Robben's goal. He was so excited that he seemed to be hugging the goal hero Robben. In fact, all Chelsea players were present To celebrate, he did it for Twain to see. You must know that he almost crossed the halfway line and ran to Nottingham Forest's coaching bench...

Tang En turned his head to look at the electronic scoreboard, turning a blind eye to Mourinho.

He knew what Mourinho was thinking, but he was not as good as this man wanted.
