Chapter 379: Volume 3: The Red Forest, Dedicated to Eastwood (Part 2)
George Wood found that the opponent's No. 8 Lampard avoided his own for a while in the first half, but after the second half he came to him on his own initiative. He couldn't figure it out.
But for these problems, Wood didn't think about it if he couldn't figure it out. Anyway, Lampard saved himself by finding him, he just needs to wait here to defend.
Defense is in his mind, but it is several times simpler than offense.
He felt that Lampard was different from the first half, with some changes and more hand movements. But he didn't take it seriously, because he also had a lot of additional moves when defending, which were taught to him by the coaching staff and other teammates-in other words, Lampard thought he was provoking Wood, Wood But I think this is a very normal thing.
result……
Mourinho shook his head watching from below. He miscalculated, Lampard shouldn't be allowed to do this kind of thing. This blunt British person is not suitable...
Forget it, don’t force it if you can’t. It was just a way he thought of temporarily.
Thinking of this, Mourinho got up and walked slowly to the sidelines, ready to signal Lampard to stop doing that and refocus his attention on how to break through the Forest team's gate.
At the same time, the Forest team launched an attack. Starting with Van der Sar, a hand toss to Chimbonda, the Frenchman passed the ball back to Ashley Young.
William Gallas pressed forward and Ashley Young played a quick one-two with Arteta. After he passed the ball to Arteta, he turned and ran forward, and the Spaniard would immediately send a kick over the top of Gallas' head!
The football did not fall to Ashley Young's feet, but flew in front of him, which was exactly in line with Ashley Young's hope, and he could take advantage of his speed by throwing off his steps.
Gallas will definitely not be able to catch up with Ashley Young. It is Carvalho who rushes to the side, and Gallas quickly runs to the middle of the penalty area to play as a guest central defender to help Carvalho defend. .
"Another fast counterattack! The speed of the Forest team's two wings is not inferior to Chelsea with Robben and Duff!"
Although Ashley Young is not as good as Ribery in terms of brilliance and strength, he is also a frequent visitor to the England youth team. Side assaults are one of his specialties. His breakthrough was like a gust of wind, setting off a red wave in the stands of the city stadium.
Carvalho rushed up aggressively, and Ashley Young slammed the football inside with his heel, and at the same time stopped and turned. The main central defender of the Portuguese national team is not so easy to deceive. He saw Ashley Young's movement of raising his foot, and he slammed on the brakes. He stopped when the opponent stopped!
"Not past!"
It's not over yet...
After Ashley Young stopped and turned around, he used his right foot to turn the football to the bottom line, changing direction himself.
Carvalho's reaction is still very fast. Ashley Young started, and he followed suit. Although the speed is not as fast, he still has legs-now he is very close to the bottom line. Judging from experience, Ashley Young Yang will definitely hit the cross. He had the most crosses among all midfielders in the entire Premier League last season!
Sure enough, Carvalho stretched out his legs to block Ashley Young's cross, and the main full-back of the England youth team really made the cross.
It's just that his crossing line is higher than the height of Carvalho's leg...
The football drew a high arc in the air and fell in front of Chelsea!
"Cross!"
Still affected by Carvalho's defense, the arc of the ball is slightly higher, which is not conducive to the forward force in the forward dispute.
Anelka, Mark Viduka, Franck Ribery. Three of the Forest team went in, plus Chelsea's three defenders and a defensive midfielder, and seven people looked crowded in front of the goal.
Facing so many people crowded in front of him, Cech quickly weighed it in his mind, thinking that if he directly held the ball, he might face the possibility of losing his hand, so he simply hit it hard...
He hit the football with his fist and successfully kicked the football out of the penalty area, but it was not a Chelsea player who received the ball outside, but Arteta in a red jersey!
"See his mother..." Mourinho cursed on the sidelines.
Arteta didn't stop the first ball, the football fell and bounced in front of him.
"Makelele—"
The veteran French midfielder rushed forward to steal the ball desperately, risking being kicked himself.
Arteta has obviously set up a stance to volley directly. The football bounced back and delayed his time, but it just happened...he can hit the volley directly!
Arteta didn't see Makelele, he only had football and goals in his eyes, and the people in between didn't exist.
"Pump-shoot!!"
Cech's reaction was very fast. When he landed, he saw that the Forest team player had received the ball, so he jumped up from the ground as soon as he landed, and rushed towards the direction where the football was flying. but!
If Makelele hadn't been between Arteta and Cech, then the ball would have been saved by Cech nine out of ten. However, Makelele stretched out his foot to block the football when it flew over. The ball jumped on his knee and changed direction...
Even if Cech is possessed by God, there is nothing he can do about the goal that flies in the opposite direction.
Everyone watched as the football flew through the crowd and into the other half of the goal...
Tang En, the fans in the stands, and the fans in front of the TV all jumped up with their arms raised high.
"Nottingham Forest leads Chelsea 2-1!"
"Forest forest!!" There was such a roar at the scene and in front of the TV.
"It seems that Tang En's team still has the psychological advantage when facing Chelsea! Nottingham Forest is not afraid of Chelsea..."
"That's right, don't be afraid!!"
"Mourinho is facing a difficult situation. Chelsea has not lost a game in the past ten league rounds since the beginning of this season. On September 22 last year, in the seventh round of the league last season, they lost to Forest in this stadium , 40 rounds of the league have passed since then, and his team has never lost in the league again! This is a remarkable result, as long as they win this game, they will create a continuous streak in the top league of English football. The second-best result of defeat, second only to Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, tied for second with Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest. But now, Clough's descendants tell Mourinho with practical actions, even if the Forest team once The record is already dead, and it is not so easy to be caught up!"
"The former glory of the Forest team must be defended by the Forest team themselves!"
If Mortensen and Lineker hadn't mentioned this, in fact, no one would remember that record anymore. Anyway, it had already been broken by Arsenal... Dunn didn't use this as a pre-battle encouragement either.
The players of the Forest team didn't think too much after scoring a goal, and finally waited for the opportunity to score again, this time they couldn't let it go! They were so excited that they collectively ran to the bottom of the main stand, facing the box above. Led by goalkeeper Arteta, the jerseys were all lifted.
Including goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, the unsociable Anelka, George Wood... all eleven players have written on their chests:
Get well soon, we're waiting for you, Freddie!
Although he knew that they would do this for a long time, when he actually saw this scene, Tang En still felt a little moved. Looking at Anelka, who usually seems to be out of the team as a whole, and George Wood, who is always a little reserved, standing sullenly in the crowd at this moment, lifting the jerseys to show their blessings on their chests, he feels that regardless of the appearance From the looks of it, this team is already a whole.
When everyone is willing to think a little more for others, then others will also think a little more for you.
He took the lead in the applause, and the entire coaching bench and the bench stood up and followed their leader to applaud the eleven people.
There was thunderous and prolonged applause in the stadium.

"Freddie Eastwood, who has been out for seven months with a serious injury, is in the box at this moment, and we don't know how he feels when he sees this scene. But I will say, it is the most emotional I have ever seen. One of the celebrations. To borrow their words, I also hope that Eastwood recovers soon and returns to the court. He is a lovely lad."
※ ※ ※
Eastwood, who had just stood up and cheered for the goal with others, suddenly fell silent.
Serim sneaked a glance at her husband, and found that there was light flickering in his eye sockets. She smiled, said nothing, and continued to applaud.
Everyone in the box was the same as the more than 20,000 fans in the stands below. They didn't cheer loudly or shout excitedly, but just smiled and applauded.
