The second leg of the League One play-off semi-final between Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest has been played for more than ten minutes, and the score on the pitch has not changed in the slightest. Despite Forest's admirable fighting spirit, Sheffield United manager Neil Brown. Neil'Warnock was clearly prepared. Don was studying other people's teams, and people were studying his team.

Malone. Hellwood have been heavily cared for by Sheffield United's defenders, with Phil Brown, who was originally playing defensive midfield. Phil'Jagielka was deliberately put in the centre-back position by manager Volnock in this game for the sole purpose of guarding against the Silver Boot goalscorer in League One this season.

Don't look at Giaquinika is only twenty years old, he has already played a full League One. He has also become the heart of the team's midfield defence, and he can play anywhere at the back. Don knows this man, although he rarely pays attention to the games of the weak teams when he watches the Premier League, but he still strives to watch every game of the strong teams. In the final round of the Premier League in 2006, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal lost 0-1 to Sheffield United in the Premier League at the time. Jakirka. That game was perhaps the longest time a goalkeeper has been in goal. Don remembered the somewhat awkward name because of this.

Now that he is here at centre-back, blocking Halewood's attacks time and time again, what can Done say other than lament that he has faced such a difficult opponent?

Another headache for Donn is Sheffield United's main midfielder Michael. Michael 'Tonge, a three-year-old apprentice at Manchester United, has now grown into the heart of Sheffield United's midfield, with all attacks revolving around him, passing, tackles, organising attacks and even delivering the lethal strikes himself, scoring six goals in 44 appearances this season. But what he does best is dribbling.

He is a member of England's Under-21 national team, along with Jakilka.

The two of them were also the biggest contributors to Sheffield United's play-off progression.

Of course, the person who made Donn the most difficult was not on the pitch, but Sheffield United manager Neil Brown, who was sitting in the dugout of the home team. Volnock.

The fifty-four-year-old man was a Sheffield native, full of hair and experience. The veteran coach is also an outspoken lover who has a similar coaching style to Donn, likes to stand on the sidelines and direct the game, returning to the dugout once in a while, and his incessant swear words during the 90-minute game can even drown out the 30,000 fans in the stands at Ballamor Lane.

Looking at Sheffield United's extremely strong tactics, Donn knew he had a formidable opponent. It was no surprise that the team were able to lose three times to Sheffield United in a single season. Even if it was himself, he lost two battles under this man.

Nottingham Forest's excellent second half of the season was largely due to their leading scorer Malone. Hellwood, Don also saw that Hellwood was in good shape, so he simply used him as the offensive core to arrange tactics, Hellwood's skills are delicate, and his physical condition is also excellent, and using him as the core makes the opposing defenders often suffer, and he can't stop him from scoring frequently. And with another superbly fast David. Johansen, the pair went on to be the most successful and sharpest striker duo in League One this season at the end of the season, scoring a total of 46 goals, while Nottingham Forest have scored 83 goals this season. Portsmouth have been the sharpest attacking team this season, with 97 goals to their name, while Nottingham Forest are second.

But now the most lethal of the attacking duo has lost their way in Sheffield United's defence and is completely out of power.

However, the other party is powerful, and Tang En, who has been tempered by actual combat for half a season, is not a vegetarian. He has always considered himself a "natural coach", and he will definitely be miserable if he changes careers to do other jobs, but he has a high level of talent as a coach. Who says only players need talent?

As mentioned earlier, the heart of the Sheffield United squad is their midfielder Michael. Tonchy, almost 60 percent of the offense was launched by him. Donn didn't field veteran Ian in this game. Jace and Gareth. Williams, who have started most of the season, have opted for a younger midfield pairing.

The four midfielders stand in parallel, from left to right. Reed, Richie. Smeca, Eugen. Pope, Brian. Cash. In the middle, Donn did not have an attacking attacker, but two defensive forwards to guard the middle of the pitch, which could not be more obvious - using Eugen. Pope and Richie. Smeka's defensive ability to stifle the activity of Sheffield's midfield, especially to jam the heart of the midfield, Michael. Tonchy, can't let him play anything.

Both managers had a very tactical set-up, and the result was that the game didn't get any better for the fifteen minutes, with most of the time going back and forth around midfield. Pope and Smeka's defense allowed Tom and Michael. Michael 'Brown was uncomfortable and couldn't organize an effective offense at all.

"I'll admit that Coach Donn surprised two youngsters who rarely start in the league and it worked well. However, the price of this is to sacrifice the Forest's own attack, the two forwards are completely killed by the defensive formation composed of five defenders of the opposing side, and there is no one in the midfield who can organize the attack, so it continues to play...... To be honest, I don't understand. "Mark. That's what Laurence said about Forest's fifteen minutes so far, shaking his head to match Motensen's commentary. Sheffield United manager Vohlnock was in a 541 formation with three centre-backs, and he opted for a play safe approach. Of course he had a reason to do so, after all, he had a good three points on the road, and the worst scenario in this game was that a draw would have him win, no matter what the score. But Coach Donn can't think like that, at this time he shouldn't be defensive, but attack. Now like this...... He must have been dazed! ”

"Mark, I don't understand it either." Mortensen doesn't agree with his partner, "but I think Coach Donn must have his ideas in this arrangement, I have commented on most of the games for half a season, and he is the kind of coach who can make my eyes shine......"

Hansen laughed, "That's what I use to describe the players, John. ”

"There are no rules that can't be used to describe a coach. I was pleasantly surprised by a lot of Donne's performances, and I hope I can see that in this game as well. ”

Mortensen had just finished talking when Forest's right-wing youngster Brian Brown. Cash forced Sheffield United left-back Steve Chase on a beautiful wide break. Steve 'Yates fouled him and Nottingham Forest won a free-kick from the right side of the pitch.

Seeing this, Donn stood up from the dugout and walked to the sidelines. And then he just stood there, doing nothing, shouting nothing. But the Foresters on the pitch knew what that meant, and they had been working set-pieces for a week and it was finally coming in handy here!

Michael. Dawson ran into the opposition penalty area, Hajld also left the back, and the entire Forest defence pressed up, with the last two defensive midfielders Smeka and Pope dragging behind.

Everyone who can head the ball is in front of the Sheffield United goal.

Don's intentions couldn't be more obvious. He wasn't afraid of Volnock seeing it, and even if he could see it now, he wouldn't be able to make effective adjustments in time - the old man would never have imagined that he would abandon his usual attacking tactics on the road and seek to settle the battle with set-pieces.

If you can't think of it, I'll catch you off guard!

He glanced at Volnock, who was standing on the sidelines waving and roaring, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Old man, do you want your guards to keep an eye on the two big men, Dawson and Hajild? Very good, I can't ask for it!

Because Ian. Jace wasn't on the pitch and the free-kicks were handed to Reid, who carefully set the ball up and looked into the box. As expected, the Sheffield United defenders focused on Dawson, Hajeld and Helewood, and no one cared about the tall David. Johansen, he was so short that he could barely be found in the long man box, and it took a lot of effort to see the shadow of this teammate through the cracks.

Michael, who is 1.91 meters tall. Dawson, Hajld at 1.88 meters and Hellwood at 1.86 meters, are the best cover.

Reid drove the ball into the box, but he surprised everyone at Sheffield United. He didn't drive a high ball to the top of Dawson's head, but a half-high ball, flat and fast!

In the stunned eyes of the crowd, David. Johansen suddenly burst out of the crowd and rushed forward! At the moment when the running route coincided with the trajectory of the ball, he shook his head and pushed the ball towards the near corner of the goal!

Sheffield United goalkeeper Patty. Paddy'Kenny was so close that he didn't have time to react before the ball flew into the back of the net against the post!

Standing on the sidelines, Donn celebrated the goal with his arms held high, and he didn't forget to look next door. But Volnock didn't look too frustrated, he just turned and walked back to the dugout. This performance left Donn a little disappointed - one of his carefully planned attacks did not cause any emotional turmoil in the opponent.
