Chapter 430 Volume 3 Red Forest Meazza San Siro (Part 1)

The broadcast at the Meazza Stadium was reporting the names of the away team players. For Inter Milan fans, most of the Forest players were unfamiliar, so when they heard those names, they were indifferent. It's just a procedure. But at the sound of a person's name reappearing here, harsh boos echoed.

"Demetrio Albertini!"

The boos were not aimed at Albertini, but at the fourteen years of AC Milan represented behind Albertini. As a sworn enemy in the same city, this hatred will not fade with the passage of time.

Albertini had no reaction to this scene. He has long been used to it, and even in England, he is not used to hearing the boos of his rivals in the same city. So now that he heard it again, he felt a sense of intimacy.

The captain of Inter Milan is still the Argentine Javier Zanetti. The captains of the two teams then held hands together again.

"Welcome to... Meazza," Zanetti said.

"It's San Siro," replied Albertini.

The feeling of the city derby returned to Albertini.

Albertini has not been in the same physical condition since the beginning of the season with a thigh muscle strain. Strain is a fatigue injury. It is a chronic disease and is not easy to be cured. As long as he is too tired, it may recur. In addition, Albertini is getting older and his body function is declining, so the strain is more likely to appear.

So in fact, in the few rounds before this game, Albertini suffered a small injury because of this, and his playing time was not very stable. But for this Champions League match, Twain still insisted on putting Arteta on the bench and letting Albertini start. If there were no accidents, he also planned to let Demy play the full 90 minutes.

Why?

Just because the opponent in this game is Inter Milan, playing against such a team, Albertini is more motivated than anyone else, and it is easier to play at his highest level.

But... Twain sometimes feels regretful, if the opponent in this game is AC Milan... Will Albertini be more energetic?

Zanetti beat Albertini in the coin toss and they got the kick-off.

The players on both sides are in their positions, and the game will begin immediately.

Tang En sat down on the coach's bench, but then leaned out and looked back into the stands.

He wanted to see if Shania was here.

Even though the little girl said that she had to work today, he also said that if she was busy with work, it would be fine if she didn't come. But deep in my heart I still hope that she will refuse to work in order to watch the game... This may be a bit selfish, but it is human nature.

The ticket he gave Shania was not a private room ticket. This is not Nottingham, and he is not the coach of Inter Milan. Meazza's VIP box tickets were sold out long before the season, or even a few seasons ago. Shania can only watch the game like an ordinary fan in the stands-if she wants to come.

Tang En just glanced at it so casually, it was really too difficult to find that special one among the more than 80,000 people.

Not finding anyone doesn't mean she's not here. Tang En comforted himself in this way, and then turned his attention to the football field again.

The game has begun.

※ ※ ※

As the second most popular team in Italy after Juventus, Inter Milan has many fans. The quarter-finals of the Champions League made the Meazza Stadium almost full, "almost" because from a safety point of view, some empty seats must be left as a buffer.

The Italian side attaches great importance to the safety of this game. After all, the two European countries with famous football hooligans are Britain and Italy. When English teams come to Italy to play, they will inevitably have a large number of English fans. If they drink too much, anything will happen.

The good news for the Italian side in this game is that Nottingham Forest is a small team, and there are not many fans who come to Italy, only 2,000 people.

The Italian fans sang the Inter Milan antiphonal loudly in the stands to cheer up the team, and they ignored the 2,000 English fans at all.

As soon as the game started, Inter Milan took advantage of the home court to bombard Nottingham Forest indiscriminately.

When Mancini first took over Inter Milan, he advocated offensive football. His appearance made many Inter Milan fans cheer. It's just that as the season progresses to the present, the status of the Rushuai is not stable, because the team's performance is not very good. Mancini also knows that in a knockout game like the Champions League, defense is safer than offense.

But in this game, he still chose to let the team attack, press the attack, press the attack... because this is the home court, if he does not attack here, then he will have no chance in the next round.

Mancini's plan was to use his offense and momentum to score more goals at home, get three points, and then use the Italian's traditional "defensive counterattack" in the away game to eliminate Nottingham Forest. In other words, in this game, he will use his own offense to suppress Nottingham Forest's offense

It's a pity that Twain's plan was exactly the same as Mancini's - defending and counterattacking in the away game to win away goals and conceding fewer goals, and then going to his own home court, and then using the right time, place and people to defeat the opponent with goals.

Therefore, on the scene, Nottingham Forest looked very embarrassed. They were pressed by their opponents and seemed to be scored by Inter Milan at any time.

But actually, Tang En knew that the Forest team's goal was safe so far.

Because George Wood played steadily as always.

Sometimes Dunn gets tired of this scene. He really hopes that Wood will play abnormally for several consecutive rounds and his state will fall into a trough... because it will make him feel that the child in front of him is a normal person. Now... If it wasn't for the physical examination results Clearly told Tang En: George Wood is a human being. He really doubts that Wood is a highly simulated robot that travels through time and space from the future to the present. Anyway, I, an ordinary Chinese fan, can travel to the UK to be a professional coach. Why can't the "humanoid weapons" of the 22nd century travel to become a professional player? ? For example, his real purpose should be to assassinate a big devil who will threaten world peace in the future, but the enemy suddenly launched an attack on the time machine during the time travel, encountered a malfunction, lost the original information, and did not know where he came from. What is the mission in the 21st century? I don’t even know my own identity anymore. I can only rely on being a porter to support the kind mother who adopted me, until I met Tang En who is also a time traveler... Wait, Tony , stop, this is a football novel based on reality and limited YY!

There were dissatisfied boos from the Inter Milan players in the stands. Only three minutes into the game, they finally found a target who was booed by them in place of Albertini - that George Wood that people can't help but hate at a glance .

Just now when Stankovic was dribbling the ball from the side and was going to cut inside, he was unceremoniously knocked down by George Wood from the side. Although the referee blew the foul whistle in time, it still couldn't stop the Mea viewing platform from ringing. Huge boos.

In the eyes of the fans, Wood's action of turning away with his head up after the foul is really arrogant and disgusting. After a foul, the vast majority of players will pull up the opponent who fell on the ground in order to show friendship or escape the penalty of the referee, and then pat the head and say a few words of apology... But Wood never In doing so, he was not aiming at Inter Milan, and England fans will not be surprised, because Wood is always so unpopular when playing in the English domestic league...

He was just pursuing victory, and it was easier to get involved like Tang En, who regarded all opponents in the game as life-and-death enemies. Since it is an enemy, there is no need to show the slightest pity and friendliness, which will make you feel that you lack fighting spirit, and you will feel that this is a betrayal of your teammates who are pursuing victory with you.

um, yes. George Wood's football world is so simple - in addition to teammates, all enemies. So in the past few years of his career, he has only had the experience of exchanging jerseys with an opponent once, and it was because he scored a goal at the last moment, helping the team draw the opponent in a good mood, and the opponent took the initiative to exchange jerseys... Yes, it is Ronaldo. The time E. Keane and George Wood swapped jerseys. Except for this time, Wood has never exchanged jerseys again.

Exchange jerseys? If I'm a winner, why should I care what a loser thinks? If I lose, why the hell am I doing such a disrespectful thing with a smug winner?

Therefore, fans of George Wood are fans of Nottingham Forest. Besides, supporters of other teams hate him deeply.

Now, Inter Milan fans are also quickly hating him.

What an impressive kid...

※ ※ ※

Wood used a foul as a price to end Inter Milan's indiscriminate bombing in the opening three minutes. After Adriano took the free kick high, Inter Milan's offensive began to gradually fall back.

Nottingham Forest has gradually taken some offensives, but not many troops have been invested in the offensive.

Mancini could see that, Tony Twain wanted to defend the away game, and the best result would be a draw, right? This actually strengthened his idea of ​​insisting on attacking at home.

But this Italian young marshal just wanted to get the first half of the sentence right. Twain really wanted to defend the away game, but his goal wasn't to "lose less and win more"...
