Chapter 711 Volume 6: Crimson Those Who Abandon Me Will Mess with My Heart

As the game whistle sounded, a conspicuous banner appeared on the stands behind the Nottingham Forest goal.

That's the mysterious stuff that John and Bill made. Now everyone knows what that is.

I saw a line of big characters written in red paint on the white cloth strip:

At least two? Try it if you have one! !

As soon as the banner was unveiled, it attracted the attention of the audience, and some fans even applauded spontaneously for the slogan. Some fans even changed the insulting slogan against Bendtner to "Try it if you have it!"

For a moment, everyone's attention was on this banner. Even Tang En couldn't help laughing after taking a look at it: "It must be Fatty and the others again."

Martin Taylor even laughed when the TV camera pointed at this slogan: "It is very in line with the personality of Nottingham Forest. The fans are the same as the team...well, let's see if Bendtner is good enough." .”

Whether Bendtner is good enough obviously depends on the goal. He also noticed the slogan, but he was expressionless, just glanced at it, and put all his energy into the game.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to control the football at their feet and launched a fierce offensive towards the hinterland of Nottingham Forest.

Even if it is the visiting team, they don't have the slightest awareness of being a guest. After competing against each other in a league for so many years, where is there any saying "need to try first"? Manchester City go straight to the hinterland!

When the football was played by other Manchester City players, the atmosphere in the stadium was normal, sporadic boos were still acceptable to everyone, and more people were cheering for the Forest team. But once the Manchester City players passed the football to Niklas Bendtner, the loud boos that could suffocate a person with a weak heart suddenly sounded without warning.

Fans of Nottingham Forest seldom boo a person collectively. In the past, they booed a certain team more often. It is indeed too difficult to maintain a normal mind and continue to compete in such a harsh environment.

So Taylor took the time to say that Mark Hughes should have determined that Bendtner's psychological quality is indeed very good.

In the overwhelming boos, he did not pass the ball immediately, but continued to control his feet, waiting for his teammates to support him.

Amidst such boos, he persisted for ten seconds before passing the ball, without any panic at his feet, and his expression was calm and composed.

Manchester City's offense is just as Tang analyzed at the tactical meeting yesterday. They mainly attack from the side. On the one hand, they want to suppress the side of the Forest team. Take the time to fight back.

It's just that the game has just started, and Nottingham Forest's full-backs haven't had a chance to attack yet. The people of Manchester City can only look for opportunities patiently.

Generally speaking, if Nottingham Forest didn't get the right to kick-off, Twain would ask the team to stabilize their defense first in the first five minutes of the game, and then make other plans.

The same goes for this game.

Manchester City seized this time to launch a fierce attack on the Forest team's goal.

Although the core of Hughes' tactics is to play on the two wings of the Forest team and counterattack. But they can also threaten the Forest team's goal without counterattack.

Because they now have a strong centre-forward who is powerful in front of goal...

※ ※ ※

"Niklas Bendtner!!" Andy Gray yelled loudly, "Oh—what a pity! It's a little higher..."

Ashley Young did not choose to go one-on-one with Bell after receiving the ball from the right, but made a direct pass. The change in rhythm made Pepe unable to react. Leap up and head the ball undefended.

Van der Sar just made a symbolic action - raising his hand, there is nothing he can do about such a close-range attack. Fortunately, in the end the ball was higher than the crossbar and flew directly towards the slogan.

Although he didn't score a goal, he was booed a little bit by surprise.

"Just as they promised before the transfer, Mark Hughes used Bendtner as an attacking core in this game. Facing Nottingham Forest's strong defense, a player like Robinho may A bit of a disadvantage, but Bendtner was a great fit," Taylor said. "I think Hughes is taking a gamble, but judging by the offense so far, he's betting right."

Bendtner gave a thumbs up to Ashley Young who passed the ball to him. The two of them couldn't be more familiar with the Forest team's defensive system. Ashley Young knew that Bell would wait in front to prevent him from breaking through, so he didn't dribble the ball, but made a cross from the spot. And Bendtner also knew that Bell went to the wing, and Pepe would lean in a little to prevent Yang from breaking through the penalty area, and leave the back to Kompany. So he didn't get into the position the first time. Instead, he dragged a little behind and saw Ashley Young get the ball before he suddenly went forward. The two had a good understanding. As soon as he started to go forward, Ashley Young passed the ball.

The timing was just right, and Bendtner completed his first shot of the game with almost no defense.

"As Tony Twain said before the game, he does have the ability to score at least two goals. Letting go of such an excellent shooter, I wonder if Twain will regret it at this moment?"

※ ※ ※

Did Tang En regret it?

No.

If he was still a little bit reluctant when Bendtner was let go, after more than half a month, he has already forgotten that emotion. Now even if Bendtner becomes the top scorer in the league, he will not feel any regrets and regrets about it. He's not the type to dwell on things that are past.

What he has a little headache now is that Bendtner and Ashley Young are too familiar with his back line. Since its establishment, almost no one has been changed, and the tactical system is still the same as before. These two veterans of the Forest team always have an easy way to know where they can be used.

He is not worried about the midfield defense. George Wood and Thiago are bounded by the central axis, one is responsible for the left side and the other is responsible for the right side. Ashley Young just passed the ball instead of breaking through. In addition to the reason why he understands the habits of the Forest team's back line, there is another reason. George Wood is watching from the side. If he wants to break through, he has to do it well. Mentally prepared to face the pincer attack of Wood and Bell.

Manchester City's Elano is more like a scorer in the middle. His main task in this game is to create opportunities for the two wings. With Bendtner on the court, the wing play is indeed more suitable for Manchester City now.

After thinking over and over, Tang En felt that the only way to limit Bendtner's performance was to limit Manchester City's flanks. So he stood up, walked to the sidelines, waved his hands and shouted loudly, signaling Wood and Thiago to move closer to the side, completely helping the two full-backs defend the side, and completely freezing Ashley Young and Robinho.

As for the defense in the middle? He didn't think so much, anyway, Elano either shot from a long distance or passed to Bendtner. Even if Bendtner receives the ball, he still has to face the defense of the back line. As long as he is not allowed to turn around, he will be fine...

※ ※ ※

Nottingham Forest started to fight back, while attacking. George Wood and Thiago are still dragging on the two sides, there is no intention to shrink to the middle, while Ribery and Lennon shrink to the center, and then...Gareth Bale and Rafinha told from behind plug in!

When Van der Vaart passed the football to Lennon, Lennon made a clever leak and the football reached Rafinha's feet.

Rafinha dialed the football to the outside, and then overtook forcibly. City's starting left-back, Michael Barr, lost out in a duel with Rafinha and watched Rafinha deftly outmaneuver him before cutting inside.

Huge cheers erupted from City Stadium.

Manchester City captain Dunn quickly came to block Rafinha's continued breakthrough.

At this time, the Brazilian passed the ball to Van der Vaart who was waiting in the ribs. Van der Vaart didn't stop the ball because he saw Manchester City's midfielder Stephen Ireland had rushed over. He chose to shoot directly!

This powerful volley was saved by Joe Hart.

Ruud van Nistelrooy wanted to follow up with a supplementary shot, but Richards used his physical advantage to get stuck and kicked out of the touchline.

"Oh oh - Nottingham Forest's offense was also of great quality. This series of wonderful cooperation is simply pleasing to the eye, and the full-back's bold assist puts a huge pressure on Manchester City's defense."

The atmosphere in the city stadium was lifted by this wave of offense. The fans shouted the names of the players, and clapped and stamped their feet in the stands to make noise.

Seeing Van der Vaart's shot, Tang En, who was standing on the sidelines, almost jumped up, but the goal missed, which made him feel a little bit annoyed.

"The situation is good, we still have a chance." He walked back to the coach's bench, Chris Lack comforted.

"If we bought Richards in the summer, now the goal is scored."

Chris Lark laughed.

※ ※ ※

Elano suddenly found that the world in front of him had become wider. Both George Wood and Thiago were about ten meters away from him. In the midfield, he can directly see Pepe and Kompany, as well as Bendtner who is at the front alone.

And more importantly, he found that if he followed the way of the head coach Mark Hughes, then Manchester City's offense would definitely hit a thick iron plate.

Originally, Hughes wanted to take advantage of the Forest team's full-backs to attack and hit behind them. But things have changed now. Tang En did not act according to the script written by Hughes. When the two full-backs stepped in for an assist, he asked the two midfielders to stay on the two sides and take charge of the defense, just in case...

In this way, if Manchester City still insists on playing on the side, the result should be predictable...

But Elano is not the head coach, and he decided to follow the coach's instructions for the time being. At the same time, he wants to test whether the forest team's defense is a solid plate...

The Forest team's throw-ins are generally thrown by the defenders on the other side, even if they are very close to the opponent's baseline. Bell stepped forward to throw the ball, and Rafinha was slightly behind, near the center line-still not returning to his defensive position, this distance is suitable for him to sprint again and then plug in.

After Bell threw the ball to Ribery, he did not return to defense, but waited for Ribery to pass him the ball, and the two sought cooperation on the wing.

It's a pity they were too close together. Ribery's pass was too powerful and Bale didn't stop well. Richards, who was playing right back in this game, broke his leg. Then he passed the ball to Elano, and Manchester City launched a counterattack!

Elano tries to pass the ball to Ashley Young on the right wing. Although Bell was still desperately returning to the defense, Ashley Young lost quite cleanly in the one-on-one with George Wood. Bell was only halfway running when he saw Wood pass the ball to him again. He turned around and invested attack……

Seeing this scene, Elano shook his head. He was sure it was more or less the same on the other side. Although Robinho's personal ability is better than Ashley Young's, Thiago's defensive level is not as good as Wood's. But it seems that taking these factors into account, the distance between Rafinha and Thiago is not far. If he passes the ball to Robinho, as long as Thiago delays a little, Rafinha can quickly return to the defense and form a pincer attack on Robinho. At that time, the defense here will be no problem...

Elano found that the problem was with the two midfielders. Originally before the game, Hughes' head coach thought that the Forest team would still use a single midfielder configuration, so playing behind two full-backs was an opportunity to take advantage of it, because one midfielder couldn't take care of the two sides at all. It's not that Manchester City haven't considered what to do if the opponent has a pair of midfielders. However, it was denied after only mentioning it a little bit, because judging from the previous game where Twain used double midfielders, this configuration is not good for the Forest team.

They just didn't expect Tang En to use his double backs like this...

But there is no one foolproof tactic in this world, and Elano still found a place he could use.

※ ※ ※

Manchester City once again stole the ball from the backcourt and counterattacked, the football was handed over to Ireland, and Elano raised his hand to demand. Ireland originally wanted to give it directly to the wing, but seeing Elano's persistent request, he temporarily changed his mind and passed the ball to Elano in the middle.

At this time, when Elano received the football, Wood and Thiago were still close to the wing to defend the gap after the two full-backs stepped in. When they saw Elano, they only leaned slightly towards the middle, and they didn't rush over to steal the ball immediately. Obviously watching.

Elano would not give them time to observe the action, he suddenly accelerated and broke through directly from the middle!

"Middle! The forest team is unlucky, and now they have no one there!"

At this time, Wood dropped the sidewalk and rushed over. He also didn't care that Bell hadn't returned to the defense yet, but Ashley Young had already stepped in. As a defensive player, at any time, the defense of the center should be higher than that of the side. After all, only the center is the place where the opponent can directly threaten the goal, and the side is at best shooting from a small angle.

Pepe leaned wide to prevent Elano from passing the ball to Ashley Young after drawing Wood's attention.

After all, Wood was far away, and Kompany rushed out at this time. Since the midfielder is not in the position, then he, the central defender, will take over the duties.

Elano was waiting for this opportunity, seeing Kompany rushing out, while Pepe was watching Ashley Young on the wing, his ankle flicked and pushed a through ball.

Bendtner looked back and saw the football rolling towards him, what a wonderful opportunity!

He turned his head and glanced at the lineman again, and at the same time turned sideways to give up the ball.

"Oops..." Pepe was shocked to see this scene out of the corner of her eye, and it was impossible to turn around—he is not a superman, and it is impossible to violate the common sense of physics. I can only turn my head stiffly and watch Bendtner wade into the penalty area after receiving the football.

Pepe's pose was hilarious, but none of the Nottingham Forest fans could laugh now.

When Elano passed the football to Bendtner, Bendtner heard boos from all directions.

There was a fire burning in him, and the hiss was like pouring another bucket of gasoline on the fire, and the flames shot up into the sky.

Tang En's words rang in his ears:

"You guys remember, don't be afraid of all the noise from the rival fans. Why are they booing you, because they're scared of you! They're scared of you! That's why they're trying to make noise to disturb you, it's no big deal. They boo you The more powerful you are, the more excited you should be, all you have to do is... to turn the imagination they least want to see into reality! Let the enemy be afraid, we are their nightmare!"

Thanks for the lesson, boss...

Bendtner's eyes flashed, he saw a gap on the left side of Van der Sar's body, that's it!

He kicked and volleyed vigorously!

The football flew past Van der Sar, hit the back post, made a crisp sound amidst the boos all over the sky, and then refracted and flew into the goal, wrapped around the net, and raised an arc.

Van der Sar half-knelt on the hand, looked back at the ball in the goal, and kept his arms open to block the ball.

Pepe was lying on the ground, looking at the sky, feeling annoyed in her heart: It's over, the extra vacation is gone...

※ ※ ※

"Nichlas. Bendtner! Niklas. Bendtner! Niklas - Bendtner! He scored! He really scored!" Gray screamed.

After the goal, the boos temporarily died down.

Bendtner confirmed that the football had entered the goal, then ran straight to the back of the goal, stood under the stands where the slogan was, and frantically tore the jersey on his chest. The Forest fans in that stand fell silent.

Behind him, Manchester City players poured in, wanting to hug him. But at this moment, Bendtner was like a wounded beast, waving his arms vigorously, and no one dared to get close to it—for fear of being greeted with an elbow in the face by Bendtner who was so excited that he was crazy.

Did you see it? Why don't you boo? Shhh me, hush me "traitor"! I scored your goal, and your most proud defense is useless in front of me! I am your enemy now! Don't you know what you love and hate? Aren't you never soft-hearted towards your enemies?

My biggest enemy is standing in front of you, why the hell are you all silent? Didn't you tell me to try it if I have the guts? I tried it! Why don't you boo me? Very good, then I will score one more goal, two goals, I will do what I say! !

He roared hysterically in his heart, but no one could hear the voice stirring in his heart.

Under his wild celebration, boos rang out again, and more and more people in the stands where John and the others put their fingers in their mouths. John didn't move, he looked coldly at Bendtner who was baring his teeth and claws below. He found that he couldn't hate this guy, but he would never like him again.

"Damn it! Poor guy! You just scored one goal, why are you so fucking arrogant! If you have the guts, try to score another one!!" Bill next to him cursed Bendtner in vicious words.

※ ※ ※

After Bendtner's goal, Chris Rack smashed the seat angrily, and now he turned his head to look at Twain who was beside him with a calm face: "Do you think he worked so hard because he wanted to prove his strength in front of us? ability?"

"What's the use of proving it?" Tang En asked flatly, "Do you still expect us to buy him back?"

"But to see such a good striker become our enemy...it's a shame."

"I hope that the people who go out from here will be excellent." Tang En said. "I personally brought him back from Denmark. If his performance is too bad, my face will be dull. Do you think I'm just perfunctory to reporters when I say 'I believe he has this ability'? Don't forget, he is Walked out of Nottingham Forest!" Having said this, Tang En still couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart, his tone became more serious, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he sneered.

Tang who was next to me suddenly sighed, and chanted in Chinese: "Those who abandon me, don't let the day of yesterday stay; those who mess with my mind, worry about today."

Tang En turned his head and glanced at him: "Don't use Tang poetry indiscriminately."

※ ※ ※

Bendtner was still celebrating wildly under the banner that was almost as long as the goal area. His team-mates gathered behind him and raised their fists to demonstrate to the Nottingham Forest fans.

Behind these people are Van der Sar and Pepe who got up from the ground, and other Nottingham Forest players who lowered their heads and felt a little lost.

From this moment on, Bendtner and his past were completely severed.
