Chapter 677: Volume 5 Red Shows Again (Ask for a Monthly Ticket~~!)

"Now there are still eight minutes before the end of the game. If there is no accident, the stoppage time should be three minutes-the second half went smoothly. That is to say, there are still eleven minutes. If the winner cannot be decided, the two sides will Will be dragged into 30 minutes of overtime. Now Grant has only changed one person, while Tony Twain has changed two people in one go. The intentions of the two head coaches can be clearly seen in this substitution. "

"Grant wants to play extra time, or even a penalty kick. It was reported before the game that Chelsea specially practiced extra penalty kicks the day before the game. But Tony Twain didn't want to give him this opportunity. He prefers to settle fights in the 90 minutes rather than a ball-to-ball showdown."

Rafinha is holding the ball now, he hesitated a little, and made a two-for-one cooperation with Beckham, and then continued to dribble forward. At this time, everyone's physical strength is not good, and Rafinha must grit his teeth and persevere. The idea behind him was that "the other party will not feel much better than himself", so Rafinha gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

Ashley Cole felt his job was a lot easier now that Lennon was gone because Beckham had no breakthrough ability. As a defender, you only need to hold your position and there will be no problem. Anti-pass? That's a centre-back thing.

Seeing No. 14 of Nottingham Forest come up with the ball, Ashley Cole, after a short rest, stepped forward to meet him, and he was not afraid of single-handedly facing Rafinha.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who is in full swing, has to consider whether to break through when facing himself.

What's more, a mere full-back for the Brazilian Olympic team?

He was about to meet the enemy, but Rafinha didn't give him a chance to challenge himself. During the run, he passed the football sideways to Beckham.

Ashley Cole was stunned for a moment, then chose to continue to retreat with Rafinha, he was afraid that Beckham would pass the ball directly behind him. Beckham didn't intend to pass the ball at all. After receiving the ball, he didn't hesitate to shoot directly!

"David Beckham's long shot—"

Cech once again made a high-level catch, he flew to block the football with one palm!

Nottingham Forest's offensive is not over yet.

Eastwood appeared at the landing point of the football. As long as he shoots the ball, the football will fly into the empty goal!

Cech fell to the ground, completely lost his center of gravity, and he was helpless for Nottingham Forest's follow-up attack.

Terry stood up.

Eastwood's shot hit Terry's head and flew off the crossbar!

"Ah-what a pity! If this goal is scored, Nottingham Forest will almost seal the victory!"

Nottingham Forest's coaching bench and bench are also full of sighs.

"Freddy is pushing too hard!" Chris Lack complained unwillingly. "If instead of volleying he had pushed, Terry wouldn't have had reaction time at all."

He was right. At that moment, Eastwood seemed to lose the calmness that a shooter should have, and chose the most inappropriate way to shoot.

Regarding this, Tang En could only shake his head slightly. Continuous serious injuries have made Eastwood no longer what he first saw... The good things always belong to the past.

※ ※ ※

Cech got up from the ground and thanked Terry for his last-minute clearance by high-fiving him. Next he began to direct the defense in the penalty area. A corner kick is also dangerous, but maybe it's also an opportunity?

Pepe and Piqué saw Nottingham Forest take a corner and run into Chelsea's penalty area, ready to fight for a header.

Chelsea was facing a big enemy, even Drogba returned to the penalty area to defend, but Joe Cole chose to stand near the center circle, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

George Wood originally planned to go up and participate in the attack. But after seeing Joe Cole, he temporarily changed his mind and walked over to stand quietly beside Joe Cole.

When Beckham placed the football, there were Chelsea fans behind him. Those fanatical fans kept provoking and insulting him with verbal gestures in an attempt to distract him. But he seemed to turn a deaf ear to this. After putting the football away, he stepped back and waited for the referee's whistle.

This is a corner kick on the left side of the goal. If Beckham, a right-footed player, wants to take a penalty, the football is an inward arc. Generally, the front and back points near the goal post are the most dangerous places. It is also where Chelsea and Nottingham Forest players are densely populated.

The ball after Beckham's run-up did not hit anyone's head. It flew high, bypassed the front post, fell halfway, and jumped directly to the back of the goal!

It turned out to be...

"Shot directly!"

Cech originally planned to attack and take the ball directly, but just as he took a step, he realized that something was wrong. The football was high and fast, and the direction of flight was behind him—the goal!

He jumped up hastily, looked up at the football in the air, and then stretched out his arms to touch the football. It is no longer an extravagant hope to get him directly, as long as the football can be allocated.

He failed to touch the football, only caught a gust of wind.

"Bang!"

A few minutes ago, Chelsea fans were annoyed by this sound, but now they think it is simply a sound of nature!

Beckham's unexpected choice fell short, and the football hit the top of the crossbar and directly popped out of the baseline.

The curses behind him all disappeared with the crisp sound of the skittles. Those extreme Chelsea fans have not recovered from the panic, David. Beckham has run away.

Chris Rack was still holding his head in remorse, Grant was still worried about his heart, and Nottingham Forest's new wave of offensive came again. In the final stage of the game, Nottingham Forest was even crazier. They couldn't wait to win the championship trophy for the second time. Who would like to wait another 30 minutes for another penalty kick?

In just a few minutes, Chelsea had to withdraw across the board, and Joe Cole, who was still imagining a counterattack, had to go back to defend under Terry's loud greeting. As the captain, Terry is very clear about the current situation - if he can't stand it, he will lose...

Seeing that the team followed his instructions and defended the entire line for the last few minutes, Grant relaxed a little, but his heart still had to suffer.

Because Nottingham Forest has no intention of letting Chelsea go.

Van der Vaart took a long shot from outside the penalty area, which was saved by Cech. The Czech goalkeeper wanted to throw the ball to launch a counterattack, but Drogba's ball was blocked by George Wood. Wood, who broke the ball, distributed the football to Ribery, who was in excellent form in the game. Ribery made a cross after breaking through the penalty area forcibly from the ribs. There was a scuffle in front of the goal, but no one touched the football, and the football wiped the goal. The column rolled out of the bottom line.

Chelsea took the goal kick and was intercepted again. George Wood feinted a shot, and after making the illusion of passing the ball, he dribbled the ball in himself. When Chelsea's defense was messed up, he suddenly split the ball.

This time the target of his pass is Bendtner.

Bendtner turned his back to the attacking direction and wanted to turn around and hit the goal.

It doesn't look like he's handing over the attacking opportunity lightly, whether it's to Chelsea or his team-mates...

His persistence in the box attracted three Chelsea players, Terry, Carvalho and Makelele.

Three people surrounded him, not to mention shooting, it was almost impossible for him to turn around.

"Pass the ball!" Van der Vaart shouted anxiously outside.

Bendtner gritted his teeth - damn Chelsea! My chance is gone!

He saw a red figure through the gaps in the crowd. He didn't have a back number and couldn't see his face. He didn't know who it was, but it was enough to know that it was his teammate.

Bendtner leaned hard on Terry, making a posture that he wanted to turn around and shoot forcibly, attracting the attention of the Chelsea players to the back. With a quick shake of his feet, the football was passed through the cracks!

"Nice pass!"

It's a pity that it was a little late, and Eastwood ran too far.

The gypsies thought that Bendtner would pass the ball across the foot, so that he could shoot directly. After all, there are many people in the penalty area, and a slight delay of a second may lose a good chance to score.

Unexpectedly, Bendtner made a pass back. He realized this after he ran over. He slammed on the brakes, dragged his right foot behind and barely caught the football, and was not directly snatched by the Chelsea players.

But this has lost the suddenness and concealment of the first shot, and the best chance to score is gone. What should I do next? Protect the ball and wait for teammates to support? That has to be with your back to the goal...

Eastwood was not reconciled.

Bendtner is only because he is a striker, and the striker's task is to score goals. So Eastwood will also be alone. His performance in this game is very average. He wants to use a goal to prove that he has contributed to the team.

When I was a down-and-out player who broke my leg and helped my father sell used cars at home, and occasionally played in the amateur league, did I ever have such a dream? Performing on the stage of the final of the top European club competition? But now this is not a dream, I scored a goal in last year's Champions League final, it was the goal that sealed the victory. I can do the same this year!

After Eastwood made up his mind to come by himself, he didn't care about the position of his teammates at all. At this moment, he only had the opponent's defensive players in his heart and eyes. With his back to goal, feeling the pressure from behind, it should be Ashley Cole.

Terry had given up on Bendtner and turned on himself.

There is no time to hesitate here. In case of being surrounded, passing the ball becomes the only choice.

The idea of ​​flopping in the penalty area is not something Eastwood has never thought about. Some forwards will choose to do this when the situation is critical, hoping that the referee will award themselves a penalty. But as soon as this stupid idea flashed through his mind, he was immediately thrown to Java. He wasn't like that, and he knew the boss wouldn't let him do it.

It is no different from a fool to throw away the opportunity that is in your hand and then count on the subjective judgment of the unreliable referee. As long as the opportunity is in your hands, even if it is only 0.001%, you can't throw it away!

With the football under his feet, Eastwood felt the pressure from behind, judging the distance between the opponent and himself, and at the same time watching Terry's kick.

These people are obviously not as bold as they are outside the penalty area, and they will do whatever they want. Unless they shoot by themselves, they will always surround them like this, waiting for support. As long as there are too many defenders, he will have no chance at all. Their chances of stealing the ball will only appear the moment I shoot...

After making up his mind, Eastwood adjusted his posture a little, so that he faced Ashley Cole and Terry sideways, instead of turning his back to Ashley Cole and facing Terry as before. Then he swung his foot and hit the goal, which attracted Terry on the right to steal.

But in fact, Eastwood's feet didn't swing up, but just moved a little bit. Seeing Terry move, he immediately used his feet to push the football behind him. Although the turning angle will be a bit small, but this is the only gap, the only chance to shoot...

Chelsea's defenders wanted to push Eastwood close to the baseline so he wouldn't be a threat if he had a shot.

After putting the football behind him, Eastwood supported Ashley Cole and turned around on the spot. Just as he turned around, he saw the football under his feet. Although he was very close to the bottom line now, he still pushed the football to the bottom line without hesitation, half of his body flashed out of the encirclement!

Cruyff turned around!

Although the body has not completely escaped the entanglement of the Chelsea defenders, Eastwood can't wait for that time. He didn't adjust the football at all, and directly hit the goal with his left foot at a small angle!

The football flew past Ashley Cole like a cannonball.

Cech was sure he had blocked all angles, and he sat down and waited for Eastwood to shoot. Just when I saw the football roll out of the crowd, I saw a leg twitch, and the football flew over!

So fast!

This was Cech's only thought. Before he saw the shooter, he saw the football flying over. The opponent used the power and footwork of the long-range shot at a very close distance. The football passed over his head in an instant. Let's fly right out of the bottom line...

Before the shot, Eastwood had no idea where Cech was, and where there was a gap in the goal. He completed this difficult shot with the instinct of a shooter. What should he do next?

pray?

No!

Opportunities are still in my hands, who do I pray to?

"Bang!" It was the sound of a football hitting the goal post again. Only this time it's not popping the bottom line to go.

Cech raised his head, his eyes followed the football all the time, even if his body couldn't keep up, his sight was fine. He saw the football hit the lower edge of the crossbar, hit the hand hard, and hit the net as it bounced off the net...

With his head raised too much, Cech, who lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground on his back, his eyes still fixed on the football that fell into the goal!

"EASTWOOOOOOOOOOOO - GOOOOOOOOAL!!! Freddie Eastwood! Freddie Eastwood!! This is lore! This is lore! So beautiful!!"

After the shot, Eastwood lost his center of gravity and fell directly off the baseline. After seeing the football go in, he wanted to jump up, but found that he was already exhausted. He could only lie on the ground, raised his hands high, and pointed them into fists. In the rainy night sky, there was a ferocious expression on his face due to excessive excitement.

"Eighty-ninth minute!! This is the goal that almost sealed the victory! Does Chelsea still have a chance? Is there still a chance?"

"Even if they want to equalize the score again, Nottingham Forest will never agree this time!"

The excited Nottingham Forest players rushed to the outside of Chelsea's goal. They did not press up, but lay on hand with Eastwood, pointing their fists to the sky.

※ ※ ※

"I didn't fucking replace him, wow haha... He's so fucking wise and powerful!" Tang En laughed loudly from the sidelines, completely losing the reservedness common to head coaches.

"Freddy, you are my lucky baby! You are the champion shooter! As long as you score, the championship is ours!"

Chris Lack was also excited at this time, completely forgetting that he had suggested that Tang En should replace Eastwood, who was physically exhausted and performed poorly.

※ ※ ※

"Eastwood is really a striker with the ability to decide the outcome of the game! In last year's Champions League final, it was his goal at the last moment that helped the team seal the victory and stifled the confidence of AC Milan's counterattack. Now, it is again When he was about to enter injury time, he set the world with one kick!"

"Who would have imagined that such a striker was playing amateur football four years ago and making a living by helping his father resell used cars?"

"Nottingham Forest is such a miracle team! Such players, such a team, they always surprise us!"

"The first defending champion since the restructuring of the European Champions Cup...is about to be born!!"

"They wrote history, and they will continue to write legends. In the two seasons starting from the 0708 season, European football has only one color and only one name. It belongs to Nottingham Forest, and it is red!"

The commentators who were broadcasting the game live were crazy. They knocked on the table and stomped their feet, trying to increase their volume and speech speed to show their passion.

The lore at the last moment almost made all the people watching this game excited for an instant!

※ ※ ※

Does anyone else care about Chelsea?

Chelsea's players on the field were all stunned after the football bounced into the goal. They couldn't accept such a result at all. How...how could the opponent score in the last minute? Is our defense not doing well enough? No! No……

Grant sat in the coach's seat, or it would be more appropriate to say that he "slumped" in the coach's seat. At this moment, he seemed to have no bones in his whole body, his face was ashen, as if he had lost his life.

Fall short, fall short...

※ ※ ※

"Brian Clough's most glorious moment was when he led Nottingham Forest to win a domestic league title and two European Champions Cup titles. Also defending the title, Tony Twain still has the opportunity and time to surpass his predecessor, because now He has equaled the previous legend. Now he can start to create a new hero in the history of Nottingham Forest Football Club, a new legend!"

"Don't be too happy, the game is not over yet! There are at least three minutes... Football is round!"

"Do you still remember what Tony Twain said before last year's Champions Cup final? His football is a triangle! Haha!"

※ ※ ※

"The whole world is in our hands, we're Nottingham Forest! We're the best fucking team in the world! Ooooooh - we're the champions! Nottingham Forest are the champions!"

Nottingham Forest fans don't care about the nonsense of "football is for the garden", they can't wait to start announcing the championship.

For a moment, the loud singing rippling in the stands of the Luzhniki Stadium, penetrated layers of rain and fog, and reached beyond the sky!

※ ※ ※

PS, there are still three minutes before the goal of the double crown is achieved! I beg you to use monthly tickets to stimulate the players of Nottingham Forest to win this game!
