Chapter 648 Volume 5 Red Real Madrid's Core

At halftime, Guti's situation in the second half was only in his imagination. He might be able to learn from those previous games to get a feel for it in advance, but those teams are not Nottingham Forest, and the coaches of those teams are not Tony Twain.

After the start of the second half, he quickly understood what kind of situation he was going to spend in the second half.

George Wood still came to mark him, but the offenders were replaced by van der Vaart and others.

Originally, Guti made up his mind during the intermission. No matter how Wood provoked himself, he would not be angry. On the contrary, he had to find ways to get Wood out of the game. The current situation is completely different from what he imagined. The forest team let these people come up in turn to provoke him, or direct fouls, or rough actions between fouls and non-fouls, or just make some things that the referee can't see This little move made Guti very angry.

He couldn't bear it several times, and wanted to take revenge severely, and then walked away-he knew that his revenge would definitely be a red card.

But after all, he just thought about it and didn't put it into practice.

Today, he has indeed made great progress in controlling his temper.

※ ※ ※

The game was still going on, and Real Madrid's offense was still mainly organized by Guti. When Guti was repeatedly violated by Nottingham Forest players, other Real Madrid players consciously took over Guti's work. Diarra was very active in the offense. Although his offensive level may be the weakest among Real Madrid's four midfielders, he is indeed the most active one, because he is a defensive midfielder and he will have more opportunities to get the ball.

This is really unbelievable. Diarra should be mainly defensive, but now he rushed to the edge of the Forest team's penalty zone many times and did not go back. Sometimes he was also seen on the right side... In short, everything he did was related to offense. And when the forest team counterattacked, Diarra was still running back slowly in front—his speed is really not fast, and with his special running posture, he looked weak and couldn't run fast. People watch anxiously.

Sneijder is a very comprehensive midfielder, but in Twain's eyes, it is unfeasible for him to take on the heavy responsibility of organizing the offense.

For some reason, Dunn was always worried about Sneijder when he watched him play football. worry about what? Worried about his voluntary mistakes, he always seems unable to control the football, and his movements are very large, which seems to be very reckless. He is on the left side of the Real Madrid midfielder, and his main task is to assist in offense and defense. Anyway, it is to assist... He was a little embarrassed when Nottingham Forest's advance was let go.

On the other side, Robinho's position was more flexible, he swung left and right, he was a character that caused Tang En a headache, because his personal skills were very good, and sometimes became an important factor to break the balance in a stalemate.

In general, Real Madrid has the advantage on the field, and Nottingham Forest still focuses on defense.

※ ※ ※

Tang En observed Guti from the sidelines. He found that Guti was very angry, but he just didn't vent it, which made him very depressed. If Guti can really control his temper, then the last unlucky one will be himself...

Because the number of fouls is more, the probability of getting a card is higher. It is not a good thing to get more and more cards.

But Tang En couldn't change this decision, because although it was a provocation and stimulation to Guti, at the same time, from a formal tactical point of view, Nottingham Forest must also strictly guard Guti. Don't give him too much room for movement, otherwise his direct pass may tear through the Forest team's defense.

Twelve minutes into the second half, van der Vaart finally received a yellow card. He was given a yellow card by the referee for bringing Guti down behind his back. There were bursts of dissatisfied boos from the Bernabéu stands. These fans do not think that Van der Vaart should not have received a yellow card, but that the referee gave the yellow card too late-according to their standards, George Wood should have been sent off in the first half, and the Forest team should have been sent off ten minutes later in the second half. There is only one goalkeeper van der Sar left...

Guti still didn't explode, he even had a smile on his face, was he mocking Van der Vaart for fouling or Tony Twain who came up with such an idea?

Tang En sat on the coach's bench, frowning tightly, with a serious expression.

The place where Van der Vaart fouled is not very good...

Twenty-five meters away from the goal, the front of the penalty area is to the left.

Sneijder, who was pressed and defended by Nottingham Forest players for nearly 60 minutes, made many mistakes, stood in front of the football, wearing the No. 23 jersey. The original owner of this jersey is standing in the crowd at this moment, protecting his chest with his hands, nervously watching the new Real Madrid No. 23 in front of him.

Since the departure of Beckham and Roberto Carlos, Real Madrid's number one free kicker has become this Dutch kid.

The start of the season has been perfect for Sneijder, crazy goals, crazy victories, long shots and free kicks have all contributed to Real Madrid, especially when he knocked Villarreal away with a free kick After his goal, he was known as the "New Beckham".

Of course, Sneijder himself does not like others to call him that, because it sounds like he is just a replacement for Beckham, but in fact he is Sneijder, not anyone's second child.

Sneijder stood in front of the ball, staring straight ahead. Guti stood next to him, and everyone knew that he was covering Sneijder, and everyone turned their attention to Sneijder.

The wall was set up under the command of Van der Sar, blocking the near corner, and then Van der Sar retreated to the far corner.

"Sneijder is ready to kick this ball..."

The referee's whistle sounded, and before the commentary was finished, Guti was seen running towards the football. The forest team's human wall was unmoved, because they knew it was a feint, and the Dutchman behind it was real.

Guti did not run directly over the football, he paused in front of the ball, then swung his left leg...

Tang En suddenly stood up from his seat, and he shouted: "Oops..."

Standing behind Guti, Sneijder didn't even move, watching the football kicked up by Guti, flying over the dumbfounded crowd, and crashing into the near corner of the goal!

Van der Sar didn't expect Guti to shoot the free kick at all. He didn't respond, he just turned his head and watched the football fly into the goal.

Looking back and seeing the football entering the goal, Guti clenched his fists and shouted. Sneijder next to him wanted to hug and celebrate, but almost got elbowed. The bad breath accumulated in his chest by the continuous violations before finally got a chance to vent. At this moment, he is like a crater of eruption, and it is dangerous to get close to him.

It was Raul who was the first to rush up and hug him tightly, holding the hot magma ejected by Guti.

This goal is too important for Real Madrid.

"Guti! Guti! Guti—!" There was a huge cheer from the stands at the Bernabéu. These people shouted the name of their vice-captain and jumped up from their seats.

Like them, Schuster and others rushed out with their arms raised high. After equalizing the score, a boulder in his heart finally fell to the ground...

The goal was finally missed, but Tang En didn't fly into a rage. He stood on the sidelines and just shook his head.

It seems that today's Guti is unimaginably tenacious and unmoved in the face of those provocations. Tang En felt that he had to give up the tactical arrangement he mentioned during the halftime break. To deal with Guti, let Wood come alone, and more people will only mess up his rhythm.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent was still celebrating a goal, Tang En called Wood to his side.

"George, go up and tell them that Guti is still yours and yours alone." He pointed to Wood and said to him.

Wood nodded.

"If you want to foul, it's best to be near the middle circle, in front of the penalty area, try not to let him turn as the main defensive strategy. You know how to do it."

Wood continued to nod.

"Don't give them free kicks in such a dangerous place anymore. Set-pieces are very important to break dense defenses. Tell them to focus more on counterattacks. If we have a chance, we have to score another goal."

"Okay." Wood turned around and was about to run back when Tang En stopped him again.

"Be careful not to take the cards, George."

Wood hummed, turned around and ran back to the court again.

Tang En also walked back to the coach's bench, sat down, and shrugged to Tang next to him, with a helpless expression on his face.

Tang comforted him: "It's nothing, we have an away goal, and it's only a draw now. In general, we have the advantage."

Tang En shook his head, not accepting this consolation: "Before the game, I wanted to leave the Bernabeu with a victory..."

"The game is not over yet." Tang could only continue to comfort him.

Tang En fell silent, and turned his head to pay attention to the game on the field again.

※ ※ ※

Wood returned to the arena with Tang En's latest order, and then Guti found that the people besieging him were gone, and only George Wood was left in front of him. He turned his head and glanced at Nottingham Forest's bench, and he knew that this must be what the head coach meant.

Did he find it useless to have so many people against me?

Guti smiled triumphantly.

Yes, at one point he was forced to make no successful through balls at all, except for crosses and back passes, which were mistakes. But you can't deny me a free kick, right? Don't think that Real Madrid used to have Figo, Roberto Carlos, Beckham, Zidane, and now they have Sneijder, others will not take free kicks.

You besieged me, just as I wanted. So many fouls and one time I get the right free-kick I want.

But Guti soon stopped laughing. He found that after the number of people besieging him decreased, his chances did not increase accordingly. George Wood no longer aimed to stimulate him first, but was seriously defending him.

As a well-known defensive genius, Guti was seen as miserable by Wood-if he was far away from the goal, Wood would steal the ball if he could steal the ball, and if he couldn't steal the ball, he would use a concealed foul to solve the battle without hesitation; When he was close, he mainly interfered and didn't take it easy, forcing Guti to hand over the football to his teammates. If Guti insisted on single-handedly taking on Wood, he would do what he wanted...but Guti didn't win many times .

In addition, when Real Madrid wants to attack and pass the football to Guti from the backcourt, Guti is used to turning his head around to observe the positions of his teammates and opponents before receiving the ball, and then he can Decide what to do. And Wood will take advantage of this opportunity, relying on his explosive power to grab suddenly, and break the ball that should belong to Guti several times in this way.

Later, when Guti received the ball, he could only think about protecting the football first, and then think about how to organize the offense. In this way, Real Madrid's offense is greatly reduced.

Robinho is an excellent player, but he is still unable to become the organizer of the team's offense. He is alone on the wing and fighting with Forest's two full-backs. Unfortunately, he is of little help to Real Madrid's offense. . Some might enjoy watching him perform fancy tricks against guards. But in Tang En's eyes, such a performance is useless, because unless he can break through in a straight line, he just makes lateral movements outside, no matter how fancy his movements are, he is no different from a clown in a circus.

Robinho's actions are much more practical than when he first came to Real Madrid, but the "flashy" side of the Brazilian's nature is still deeply ingrained. Sometimes when he is obsessed with his feet, the team has lost a good opportunity to attack. And his own movements are too cumbersome, not as simple and practical as Messi. Messi's characteristic is just one word - fast, fast movement, fast pace, which is the most practical technology in the modern football field.

Dunn laughed every time he saw Robinho start cycling when facing Bell or other defenders. If my defenders are deceived by a few moves that they know are fake moves, Nottingham Forest will not be called "becoming a European champion by defense". With the skill of pedaling a bicycle with your head buried, wouldn't it be better to feint a shot and pass the ball directly?

When Robinho first debuted, people exclaimed that he was "Pelé's successor". But in Twain's eyes, Robinho's progress in the past few years is really limited, and he is still a few light years away from people's expectations of him...

At least Roninho in this game is not to be feared.

※ ※ ※

After Guti scored a goal, he received "meticulous" personal care from George Wood; Robinho was stuck in the quagmire of fighting alone; Sneijder was in a mediocre state, exhausted between offense and defense; Higuain A little bit at a loss under the fierce close press of the Forest team, making frequent active mistakes...

Only Raul is as diligent as ever, but he can’t get the ball without the effective support of the midfielder. Driven by his sense of responsibility when defending, he even returns to the penalty area of ​​his own side. How much energy can he use to participate in the offense? It's really suspicious...Of course, it's not that he doesn't work hard, but that working too hard in defense may affect his performance in offense.

As for Marcelo and Ramos, Schuster is obviously afraid of the Forest team's wing attack, and did not ask them to assist frequently.

Real Madrid can't do anything about the stubborn Nottingham Forest.

And what about Nottingham Forest? There were several counterattack opportunities but they were not seized. In the end, Real Madrid's attack was so crazy that they didn't even have a chance to counterattack...

At the end of the game the score was 1:1.

This score must have made Schuster very unhappy, but he didn't show it. He just stood on the sidelines for a while, then turned around and shook hands with Tang En, then walked into the corridor with his head down.

After scoring an away goal and a draw, Twain did not show a happy side either. He was a little helpless - he hoped to win, but it was a pity that he almost missed it.

With regret, Nottingham Forest left the Spanish capital and flew back to England to prepare for the next round of the match between the two sides. And even at his own home court, Tang En was not sure of winning against Real Madrid. It seemed that he had to work hard on Guti...
