Chapter 506 Volume 4 The Storm Very Dissatisfied and Regretful
"Sun Jihai defends Nottingham Forest's goal! It's as if he fell from the sky, appeared in front of the empty goal, and blocked Shevchenko's shot! Let's see the replay in slow motion... After being swayed by Shevchenko , He immediately got up from the ground and chased after him. When all of us focused on Shevchenko and Van der Sar, no one noticed that he had already killed him! This terrible fighting spirit!"
Mortensen threw all the words of praise to Sun Jihai, and the protagonist was still crushed by the players.
The city stadium was full of jubilation, and those who didn't know would have thought that Nottingham Forest had scored a goal.
Shevchenko sat on the ground, helplessly watching the celebrating Nottingham Forest players. Such a good opportunity... such a good opportunity! There is still no way to score, God seems to be joking with him. It is impossible for him to play as perfect as this time, but he still failed to score.
The majestic world-class striker was blocked by a Chinese.
"Shevchenko must be very regretful now. If he didn't push a half-high ball but a ground ball, Sun Jihai would not be able to stop him even with wings. But...but in that case, he couldn't do it. Even better. We still have to go back and praise the resilience of the Chinese people, no matter what the situation, never give up... No, this is just the resilience of the Chinese people, this is the resilience of Nottingham Forest."
When Mourinho saw Shevchenko and Van der Sar one-on-one off the court, he stood up from his seat and was about to rush out of the coach's bench to celebrate the goal. It never occurred to him that Shevchenko's shot might miss. However, such a situation happened after all.
Seeing Sun Jihai soaring into the air and kicking the football out of the baseline with a movement similar to Chinese Kung Fu, he punched the ground.
Damn Tony Twain, damn Nottingham Forest, damn Chinese players! Everyone here is so annoying!
Next door to him, Tang En led the members of the coaching staff to applaud Sun Jihai on the field. Sun Jihai is a very hard-working player, whether he is playing as a starter or as a substitute, he is dedicated to his duties. When Tang En bought him back then, he paid attention to this. Compared with many European and American players, he is much less impetuous. A team can't be full of characters like him, can it?
Tang Jing saw this scene from the press box.
Back then, after the head coach of the Forest team, Tony Twain, spent 4 million yuan to bring in Sun Jihai from Manchester City, the country was really excited for a while, because this was the highest value for a Chinese player. But the good times didn't last long. Sun Jihai failed to beat Chimbonda in the team competition, and more often he could only play as a substitute. So some media in England thought that Twain was being taken for a ride, and Pierce cheated him out of 4 million with a Chinese defender who was about to be eliminated. Even the domestic media are not optimistic about Sun Jihai's future in the forest team, especially after seeing the "magnificent" goal of the forest team, they are even less optimistic.
Unexpectedly, during Tang En's "better troops and simpler administration" campaign earlier this season, many people who could not keep up with the team's needs left the team, and Sun Jihai stayed instead. Tang En seldom commented on this Chinese player in public. Whether it was praise or criticism, the media couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Seeing this scene now, Tang Jing understood more or less.
Sun Jihai has started almost every game in the last few games. His versatility is a good supplement to the team. The team does not need to add personnel to multiple positions, one Sun Jihai is enough.
But if you just need a panacea, Tang Jing believes that Tony has more and better choices. Seeing the scene of Sun Jihai's rescue, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind - Sun Jihai's style of never giving up fits well with what Tang En has been preaching.
Now it makes sense. Why did Tang En value Sun Jihai so much?
When Twain chooses a player, it is not based on the person's age, nationality, or skill level... His first requirement is whether he likes his own taste.
Sun Jihai was right.
Every coach has his own preferences. For example, Arsenal's head coach Arthur Wenger prefers players who are not physically strong but have excellent skills. On the other hand, Tony Twain prefers players with top-notch mentality, which can be seen from the fact that George Wood is so highly valued by him-it is said that in the latest FM game, George Wood's mental attributes are the strongest among all players.
※ ※ ※
Sun Jihai's flashes not only saved the team's gate, but more importantly boosted morale.
Nottingham Forest was not hit because of Chelsea's attack, on the contrary, it was Chelsea who got hit.
Nottingham Forest scored just five minutes after Shevchenko's one-handed goal missed.
If you waste opportunities, you will be punished. This sentence is true for Chelsea.
Taking advantage of the slight drop in Chelsea's morale, the Forest team launched a series of fierce offensives. After continuously threatening the gate guarded by Petr Cech, Van Nistelrooy finally knocked on the gate of the Czech Republic.
"Van Nistelrooy! This is his seventh goal for Nottingham Forest! Coming from Manchester United to Nottingham Forest, he has shown amazing adaptability and integrated into the team at the fastest speed. Now he is a member of the team. Top scorer in the game!"
Petr Cech, who lost the ball, could only vent his depression by hitting the ground hard. He saved two shots from the opponent in a row, and finally missed the third shot... Ruud van Nistelrooy leaned on Terry, stretched out his foot, He stabbed the football into the goal. At that time, he was still lying on the ground and didn't get up.
The Forest team's offensive was too fierce.
Mourinho can see clearly off the court, now that the team is behind, defense is useless. Only continue to strengthen the offense and strive to equalize the score as soon as possible.
Since Shevchenko came to the team, he has not adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League and Chelsea's football. However, because he is the person appointed by the boss Abramovich, Mourinho is not easy to use. So on the one hand, Shevchenko performed poorly and was in a sluggish state, and on the other hand, Mourinho excused Shevchenko in front of the media many times, looking for reasons for him to start every game. Now Shevchenko missed a single shot and performed poorly. Mourinho can be considered to have found a chance to replace him.
Soon, Mourinho replaced the underperforming Shevchenko with the German national team captain Michael Ballack.
Andre was a little helpless when he left the field. He had worked very hard, but unfortunately this time he was a bit unlucky. If he had scored that goal, everything would have been different. Chelsea won't fall behind and don't have to go off...
When walking down, Mourinho patted Shevchenko on the shoulder to comfort him. From the outside, the relationship between the two is very good. But who knows, neither Shevchenko nor Ballack are the players Mourinho wants to come? This character coach has nothing to do with a boss who is more character than him. The Russian rich boss likes superstars, and also likes Eastern European fellow Shevchenko. For Mourinho, Ballack and Shevchenko are unplanned signings.
If all transfers were done according to the owner's wishes, then the Chelsea dressing room would have been a mess. Not to mention what fighting power there is.
Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, Casillas, Raul, Buffon...these are the players that Amobramovich is interested in. Putting these people in a team feels powerful and invincible, but in the eyes of Mourinho, that is a disaster.
Others say that it is good to be the head coach of Chelsea, because you have money, you can buy whoever you want. Only Mourinho knows how hard it is to work under the rich boss. He is indeed very rich, and he can buy whoever he wants, but many times he ends up buying whoever he doesn't want...
Not only have to take care of the boss's preferences, but also keep lying in front of the media, saying that the arrival of Shevchenko and Ballack is something I have been looking forward to for a long time, it is an exciting transfer, and maintain Chelsea's dressing on the surface The harmonious atmosphere in the room made those eyeing opponents not aware that something was wrong. There is nothing more important in a team than unity.
After Shevchenko returned to the bench, he depressedly threw the towel that the coach had just wiped himself on the ground. I don't know if he was angry because he didn't score that goal, or because he was replaced.
Mourinho is not in the mood to manage Shevchenko's mood now.
If this game is lost, everyone will be in a bad mood, and no one will have a good life.
He didn't care about Shevchenko, but turned his head to the home team coach's bench. Tang En was sitting on the coach's bench, crossing his legs and chatting with his assistant coach.
Seeing his leisurely look, Mourinho wanted to grit his teeth.
There is one thing that he will never admit publicly in front of the media - sometimes he is very envious of his deadly enemy. Because in Nottingham Forest he is the king in the true sense. Whatever he says, the club will do whatever he wants. The club only pays money for whoever he wants to buy. The chairman of the club will never put pressure on anyone he doesn’t want to buy. In the confrontation with the players, the club will definitely stand behind the head coach, just look at Anelka's current situation...
The absolute authority of England's head coach and general manager is now slowly becoming a luxury with the rapid development of modern football and the refinement of the division of labor among various departments.
Do you still remember what you said when you joined Chelsea?
God, and nothing but God, is me.
Now he finds it's wrong. The actual situation should be:
God, except God, Abramovich, and then me.
※ ※ ※
After Ballack played, Chelsea played a single striker, and Drogba alone was enough. Mourinho wanted to compete with Tang En in the midfield. He could see that only by controlling the midfield could the arrogance of Nottingham Forest be completely defeated.
Without George Wood's frenzied pressing and running in midfield, this was Chelsea's chance. They can take advantage of their numbers and regain the midfield.
At that time, as long as the midfielder is completely in control, Chelsea can attack as they want.
After replacing Ballack, Mourinho replaced Makelele with Joe Cole, leaving only Essien to take care of the defense. This substitution gave Chelsea players a clear signal-Mourinho is going to give it a go.
At this point in the game, there are only more than 20 minutes until the end. If you don't let go, do you have to wait until the last ten minutes to fight?
Of course, Dunn wouldn't have to defend just because he was leading by one goal. If Wood was around, he could do so...
The best way now is to continue to attack, play against Chelsea, and use your own offense instead of defense.
※ ※ ※
In such an open game, how could the score of 2:1 be possible?
In the 73rd minute of the game, Chelsea responded with an eye for an eye, creating chaos in the Forest team's penalty area with a corner kick, and then Drogba scored an equalizer.
This ball allowed Mourinho to finally find an opportunity to vent his emotions. He ran out and rushed to the pile of people celebrating the goal to pile up Arhat.
Everyone is used to these two head coaches doing all kinds of outrageous things, so the commentator Mortensen didn't make a fuss, but just laughed in front of the microphone.
Chelsea equalized with seventeen minutes remaining.
Is this the end of the game?
Obviously not, Tang En refused to agree, and what was supposed to be a leading victory turned into a draw. How could he swallow this breath?
Mourinho would not agree either. When he came here, he didn't think it would take away a point. A draw is still a failure for him, because he still hasn't broken the embarrassing record of winning against Nottingham Forest.
At the last moment, Dunn replaced Van der Vaart with Arteta and continued to strengthen the attack. Mourinho didn't use up the last substitution spot, and Twain also had another substitution spot in his hand, just in case and at the last moment, it was a card to stall for time.
Time is advancing towards the end of the game, but the two sides fighting on the field seem to be unaware that time is passing, and continue to attack each other, hoping to score another goal.
This time, Chelsea, who were twice led by Nottingham Forest, finally turned around.
"Michelle Essien! A beautiful strike against the wall in front of the penalty area! He rushed in... shot! Goal in! It all happened so fast that Van der Sar and the Forest defenders had no time to react!"
Essien was pulled tightly from behind by Drogba, and then threw him to the ground. Two blacks rolled together, then were flooded with more blue.
Mourinho jumped up to applaud the goal. In the 80th minute, it turned defeat into victory!
Tang En's face was gloomy, and he didn't express his anger at conceding the goal at the last minute... But everyone could clearly see that he was accumulating emotions.
No, last minute? There are still ten minutes!
After the Chelsea people celebrated wildly, Dunn stood up from the coach's bench.
Unexpectedly this time, he didn't growl loudly, but waved his arms violently. He just stood on the sidelines with his arms folded and his face grim. Twain knew that without him reminding, his players knew how bad things had happened.
Twice they took the lead and gained the upper hand, and twice they were equalized by stubborn opponents. Now, when they were focused on taking the lead for the third time, their cunning opponent took the opportunity to sneak up and overtake the score! Can Nottingham Forest accept such a defeat at home? Can the unbeaten run against Chelsea end in this way?
There are still ten minutes, and you have no other choice but to attack. Even if you get another sneak attack by your opponent because of this...
Tang En had a good idea. The players of the Forest team were very clear about their current situation, and they all saw the cloudy expression on the boss's face. Make it easier for the opponents, and they will not be able to live better themselves.
"Towards the end of the game, Nottingham Forest was still attacking, their attacking ... was crazy. Chelsea also had to recover the defense. Mourinho called Lassana_Diarra from the bench, he was ready Bring in this French defensive midfielder and, in the last few minutes, step up the defense."
Mourinho wanted to strengthen the defense, so Twain naturally stepped up the offense. When Mourinho called Diarra, Twain also called Bendtner.
The two sides were making substitutions at the same time, and there were still six minutes before injury time.
"Playing a high ball? I don't think it's a good idea. Chelsea's defense is not weak in air defense..." Mark Lawrenson once again raised doubts about Twain's substitution.
"At this time, there is only one way to do it, right?" Mortensen said. "The two teams met for the first time in the Premier League. On this pitch, wasn't it Bendtner who scored the goal? Twain probably thought that this Danish kid could bring him some good luck."
"Then I have to sincerely wish him good luck..." From Lawrence's tone, it was impossible to hear his "sincere wishes".
※ ※ ※
After Bendtner came on the field, Nottingham Forest really played a concise long pass. Both Albertini and Arteta's long passes were good, plus two crosses from the wing, all of them went over the heads of Bendtner and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Although Ruud van Nistelrooy is 1.88 meters tall, he is not a center forward who relies on headers for food. Most of the time, Bendtner is the key figure in the Forest team's final offensive, whether it is a direct header or a goal for his teammates. The ferry depends on his height of 1.9 meters and excellent header skills.
After Chelsea saw Bendtner come up, they also strengthened their defense against the ball coming from the air.
The last 1.9 meter center forward had too obvious tactical intentions.
Mourinho also yelled loudly from the sidelines to ask the players to pay attention to high ball defense.
Terry won the aerial duel with Bendtner and ejected the football. He suddenly felt that the Bendtner beside him was nothing more than that, and he couldn't get stuck in the position, so why fight for the top?
Terry's clearance wasn't really a clearance, it just kicked the football out of danger. Football soon fell to the feet of the Forest team. Anyway, the game is coming to an end now, and there are Forest players outside the penalty area, and the Chelsea players are used to it, so just raise your spirits and defend.
Ashley Young had the ball down the right and Chelsea's players had only one thought on their minds when they saw him with the ball - it must be another lob.
Since Bendtner came on the field, Ashley Young has passed five consecutive aerial balls to the goal, and nothing has changed. This kid likes assists, and the number of seed passes is the highest in the Premier League, but doesn't he know a different method? There is no challenge in defending such a ball...
Ashley Young glanced at the penalty area, facing Ashley Cole who came up to defend him, flicked the football lightly, and made a cross. Ashley Cole naturally jumped up to block his passing route. Any fool knows he's going to pass a high ball...
Ashley Young laughed when he saw Cole jumping up reflexively, a fool would think I was going to pass a high ball!
Yang slammed the football back, just past Cole who was jumping up.
"Defense like an idiot!" Mourinho cursed angrily when he saw this scene off the court. "Who taught him that!"
"Ashley Young broke Cole's defense, he crossed into the box, which completely surprised the Chelsea defenders. Carvalho rushed to cover the defense..."
Seeing the chaos in front of Chelsea, Yang proudly waited for Carvalho to rush up before passing the football.
Highball?
No! Boccia!
Terry was pulling Bendtner to prevent him from jumping for the top, so he pushed down. Unexpectedly, Ashley Young would pass the ground ball, and Bendtner just took advantage of his strength and fell down...
Is he trying to cheat a penalty?
Of course not, he is shoveling!
A tall person has a header advantage when he jumps up, but he also has an advantage when he lies down. Height becomes longer, the same.
Terry understood what Bendtner was going to do, and he followed suit. At this time, how can I care about fouls or non-fouls? A shovel is only a possible foul. If you don't shovel, at this distance, as long as you are shoveled, the football is almost certain to enter the goal!
But he was still half a step late...
"Nichlas Bendtner - YES! Its_GOOOOOOOOAL! Petr Cech made a pounce, but he was too close to do anything! Nottingham Forest leveled the score just after stoppage time! Between the two opponents As expected, we don't know the ending until the last minute!"
"It was the last second." Mark Lawrence added helplessly. Of course he hoped not to know the ending until the last second, because then he still had a few minutes to look forward to.
But God failed to fulfill his wish, and the offense of Nottingham Forest, which had re-equalized the score, could no longer pose a threat to Chelsea's goal. The two teams are not reconciled, and can only accept this 3:3 tie.
"At the end of the game, Chelsea drew with Nottingham Forest at the City Stadium... Looking at the faces of the coaches of both sides, it is obvious that they are not satisfied with the result at all."
The two head coaches came together to perform the post-match ritual - a handshake.
"Let me declare first that I am very dissatisfied with the draw. We could have won." Tang En said with his head raised.
"I am very sorry that you did not lose." Mourinho confronted with a straight face.
After saying these two sentences, the two left in different directions.
