As the whistle blew, a conspicuous banner appeared in the stands behind the Nottingham Forest goal.

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

I saw a large line of red paint written on the white strip of cloth:

At least two? If you have a kind, try it!!

As soon as the banner was unveiled, it attracted the attention of the audience, and some fans even spontaneously applauded the slogan. There were even fans who changed the abusive slogan against Bendtner to "If you have a kind, you try!" ”

For a while, everyone's attention was on this banner. Even Tang En couldn't help but laugh out loud when he glanced at it: "It must be the fat man again." ”

Martin. Taylor even smiled when the TV camera pointed at the slogan: "It is very much in line with the surname 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 or not, obviously it 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.

From the start of the game, Manchester City took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to keep the football at their feet and launched a fierce attack into the heart of Nottingham Forest.

Even if it's the away team, they don't have the slightest sense of being a guest. After competing with each other in a league for so many years, where is there any saying that "you need to test and test first"? Manchester City go straight to the hinterland!

When the football was in the hands of the other City players, the atmosphere was normal, the sporadic boos were still acceptable, and more people were cheering on the Forest team. But once the Manchester City players passed the football to Niklas. Bendtner, the kind of loud boos that suffocated a person with a bad heart, suddenly sounded without warning.

It's rare for Nottingham Forest fans to boo one person en masse, and in the past it was more common to boo a team. It's really hard to keep a calm mind and continue to play in such a harsh environment.

So Taylor took the time to say Mark. Hughes should have determined that Bendtner's mental qualities are indeed outstanding.

In the overwhelming boos, he did not pass the ball immediately, but continued to control his feet and wait for his teammates to come up to support.

In the midst of such boos, he insisted on passing the ball for ten seconds, without the slightest panic at his feet, and his expression was calm and composed.

Manchester City's attack, as Don analysed in yesterday's tactical meeting, is dominated by wide attacks, on the one hand, to suppress Forest's wings, and on the other hand, they hope to take advantage of the gaps left by the Nottingham Forest full-backs' frequent insertion of assists to play counter-attacks.

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

Normally, if Nottingham Forest don't get the kick-off, then Donn will ask the team to defend solidly for the first five minutes of the game before making other moves.

It's the same with this game.

Manchester City seized this time to launch an onslaught on Forest's goal.

Although Hughes's tactical core is to play the two wings of the Forest team, go on the counter-attack. But they can also threaten Forest's goal without counter-attacking.

Because they now have a strong center forward who is very powerful in front of goal...... "Niklas. Bendtner!! "Andy. Gray exclaimed, "Oh-what a pity! It's a little bit higher......"

Ashley. Young didn't choose to go one-on-one with Bale after receiving the ball on the right, but instead crossed directly, and the change in tempo left Pepe unresponsive, and Bendtner stepped in behind him before leaping high and heading home unguarded.

Van der Sar just made a gesture symbolically - raised his hand, and there was nothing he could do about such a close attack. Thankfully, the ball went over the crossbar and flew straight past the slogan.

Although there was no goal, the audience was shocked to boo a little.

"Just like what they promised before the transfer, Mark. Hughes used Bendtner as the heart of the offense in this game. Against Nottingham Forest's strong backline, a player like Robinho may suffer a little, but Bendtner is a perfect fit. Taylor said. I think Hughes is gambling, but judging by the opening offense, he's right. ”

Bendtner passes the ball to Ashley. Yang gave a thumbs up. The two of them are all too familiar with Forest's defensive system. Ashley. Young knew that Bale would be waiting in front to prevent him from breaking through, so he didn't dribble the ball and crossed from the spot. And Bendtner also knew that Bale had gone wide, and Pepe would lean in a little to prevent Young from breaking through the box and giving him back to Kompany. So he didn't get into position at the first time. Instead dragged a little behind and saw Ashley. Yang got the ball before he suddenly stepped forward, and the two had a good heart, he just started to cut forward, Ashley. Jan passed the ball.

The timing was just right, and Bendtner had the first shot of the game with little to no defense.

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

※※※Don has any regrets?

No.

If he was still a little reluctant to let Bendtner go, after more than half a month, he had forgotten that emotion. Now, even if Bendtner becomes the league's top scorer, he will have no regrets or regrets. He's not the kind of person who always dwells on things that are a thing of the past.

He's having a bit of a headache right now with Bendtner and Ashley. Young is too familiar with this line of guards. Since it was established, there have been almost no changes, and the tactical system is still the same as before. The two Forest veterans have always had an easy idea of where they can be exploited.

He wasn't worried about the midfield defense. George. Wood and Thiago are bounded by a central axis, with one on the left and one on the right. Ashley. Young didn't break through just now but passed the ball directly, in addition to the reason why he understood the Forest's defensive line habits, there was another reason, that is, George. Wood is eyeing the sidelines, and if he wants to break through, he will have to be mentally prepared to face the two men of Wood and Bale.

Manchester City's Elano is more of a splitter in the middle and his main task in this game is to create chances on both flanks. With Bendtner on the pitch, the wide style of play is indeed more suitable for Manchester City now.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Donn felt that the only way to limit Bendtner's play was to limit Manchester City's wings. So he stood up, walked to the sideline, waved his hand and shouted loudly, motioning for Wood and Thiago to lean a little more on the wing, completely helping the two full-backs to defend the wing, completely freezing Ashley. Young and Robinho.

As for the defense in the middle? He didn't think much about it, anyway, Elano either shot from distance or passed to Bendtner. Even if Bendtner receives the ball, he still has to face the defense of the backline, as long as he doesn't turn around...... Nottingham Forest starts to counterattack, when attacking. George. Wood and Thiago remained on the flanks and had no intention of shrinking in the middle, while Ribery and Lennon pulled back into the middle and then ...... Gareth. Bell and Raphinha tell plug in from behind!

When Van der Vaart passed the ball to Lennon, Lennon made a clever mistake and the ball reached Raphinha's feet.

Raphinha flicked the ball to the outside and forced an overtake. Manchester City's starting left-back Michael Murphy. Barr was defeated in a footwork battle with Raphinha and watched as Raphinha tricked him with great skill and then cut inside into the box.

There was a huge cheer at the City Stadium.

Manchester City captain Dunn was quick to block Raphinha's continued breakthrough.

At this point, the Brazilian passed the ball to Van der Vaart, who was waiting in the ribs to respond. Van der Vaart didn't stop the ball because he saw Manchester City's midfielder Stephen. Ireland has pounced. He opted to shoot straight at goal!

This powerful volley was taken by Joe. Hart slammed into the pounce.

Ruud van Nistelrooy tried to follow up with a follow-up shot, but Richards used his body advantage to jam the position and kicked it wide off the touchline.

"Oh – Nottingham Forest's attack is also of great quality. It was a succession of brilliant combinations that were nothing short of pleasing to the eye, with bold assists from the full-backs putting a huge pressure on City's backline. ”

The atmosphere at the City Stadium was stirred up by the attack, with fans chanting the names of the players and clapping and stomping their feet in the stands.

Seeing Van der Vaart shoot, Donn, who was standing on the sidelines, almost jumped up, but the ball didn't go in, which made him a little stupid.

"It's a good situation, we still have a chance." He walked back to the dugout, and Chris Lak comforted.

'If we had bought Richards in the summer, we would have scored it now.

Chris Rac smiled.

※※※ Elano suddenly found that the world in front of him had become wider. George. Both Wood and Thiago were about ten metres away from him. In midfield he could see Pepe and Kompany directly, as well as Bendtner up front.

And more importantly, he found that if he followed the head coach Mark . If Hughes had come to that level, then Manchester City's attack would have hit a thick iron plate.

Originally, Hughes wanted to take advantage of the Forest's full-backs to get in and play behind them. But now the situation has changed. Instead of following Hughes's script, Donn asked the two midfielders to stay on both wings and defend as they stepped in to assist the two full-backs, just in case...... So if City still insist on playing on the wing, that outcome should be predictable...... However, Elano is not the head coach and he has decided to follow the coach's instructions for the time being. At the same time, he wanted to test whether the Forest's defense was a monolith...... Forest's throw-ins are usually taken by defenders on the other side, even if they are very close to the opposition baseline. Bale stepped forward to throw the throw-in, and Raphinha dragged it slightly back near the halfway line – still not returning to his defensive position, a distance suitable for him to sprint again and cut in.

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

It's a pity that they are too close together. Ribery's pass was too powerful and Bale didn't stop. Richards, who was playing at right wing-back in this game, stretched out his leg and then he passed the ball to Elano, and City launched a counter-attack!

Elano tries to pass the ball to Ashley on the right. Poplar. Although Bale is still desperately trying to defend back, Ashley. Yang Zai and George. Wood lost fairly cleanly in one-on-one, and Bell was only halfway through when Wood passed the ball to him again, and he turned and threw himself into the attack...... Seeing this, Elano shook his head. He was sure that it was more or less the same on the other side. Although Robinho's individual ability is better than Ashley's. Young was a bit better and Thiago didn't defend as well as Wood. But it seems that with these factors in mind, the distance between Raphinha and Thiago is not far. If he passes the ball to Robinho, Raphinha can quickly return to the defense and form a flanking position against Robinho as long as Thiago delays a little. At that time, there will be no problem with the defense here...... Elano found the problem with the two midfielders. Originally, before the game, Coach Hughes thought that the Forest team would still use a single midfield configuration, so it was only possible to play behind the two full-backs, because one midfielder could not take care of two wings at all. It's not that Manchester City haven't thought about what to do if the opponent has a pair of midfielders. However, it was only mentioned slightly and was denied, because judging from the previous game where Donn used two backs, this configuration was not good for the Forest team.

They just didn't expect Don to use his double back like this...... But there is no foolproof tactic in this world, and Elano has found a place where he can use it.

※※※ Manchester City broke the ball again in the backfield to play a counterattack, the football was handed to Ireland, and Elano raised his hand to ask. Ireland originally wanted to go directly to the wing, but seeing Elano's perseverance in demanding, he temporarily changed his mind and passed the ball to Elano in the middle.

At this point, when Elano received the football, Wood and Thiago were still close to the wings to cover the gaps after the two full-backs had plugged in. They saw Elano and only leaned slightly down the middle, not immediately pounced on the ball. Apparently observing.

Elano didn't give them time to observe the action, he suddenly accelerated, breaking through directly from the middle!

"Mid lane! The Forest team was unlucky, and now they don't have a single person there! ”

Only then did Wood throw down the side and run over. He also didn't care that Bale hadn't returned to defense, and Ashley. Yang had already plugged in. As a defender, the defense in the middle should be higher than that on the wing at all times, after all, only the middle is the place where the opponent can directly threaten the goal, and the wing is at most a small angle shot.

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

Wood was far away after all, and it was Kompany who rushed out. Since the midfielder is not in the position, it is up to him, the central defender, to take his place.

Elano was waiting for this opportunity to see Vincent Kompany rushing out and Pepe keeping an eye out for Ashley on the wing. Yang, with a shake of his ankle, pushed a through ball.

Bendtner looked back and saw the ball rolling at him, what a wonderful opportunity!

He turned his head and looked at the linesman again, as he turned sideways to concede the ball.

"Bad ......" Pepe was shocked when he caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and it was impossible to turn around - he was not superhuman, and it was impossible to defy the common sense of physics. I could only turn my head stiffly and watch Bendtner step into the penalty area after receiving the football.

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

As soon as Elano passed the football to Bendtner, Bendtner heard a sea of boos coming at him from all sides.

There was a fire burning in his heart, and this boo was like pouring another bucket of gasoline on the fire, and the flames soared into the sky.

Done's words rang in his ears:

"Remember, don't be afraid of all kinds of noise from the opposing fans. Why do they boo you, because they are afraid of you! They are terrified of you! That's why they're trying to make noise to disturb you, and that's not a big deal. The more they boo, the more excited you should be, all you have to do is ...... Turn the imagination they least want to see into reality! Let the enemies be afraid, we are their nightmares! ”

Thank you for the teachings, sir...... Bendtner's eyes flashed, and he saw that there was a gap on the left side of Van der Sar's body, and there it was!

He got up and volleyed hard!

The ball flew past Van der Sar, then hit the back post, made a crunch in the air of boos, and then refracted into the goal, wrapped around the net, and raised in an arc.

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

Pepe was lying on the ground, looking at the sky, and his heart was annoyed: it's over, the extra vacation is gone...... ※※※" Niklas. Bendtner! Nicholas. Bendtner! Niklas – Bendtner! He scored! He really scored! Gray screamed.

After the goal, the boos disappeared for a while.

Bendtner confirmed that the football was in goal, then ran straight behind the goal, standing under the stands where the slogan was, frantically tearing the jersey on his chest, with a hideous face, opening his mouth and roaring loudly, making people look a little frightened...... The Forest fans in the stands fell silent.

Behind him, a steady stream of Manchester City players came in wanting to hug him. But at this moment, Bendtner was like a wounded beast, waving his arms vigorously, and no one dared to approach the slightest—for fear of being greeted in the face by Bendtner, who was so excited that he went crazy.

Did you see that? Why aren't you guys booing? Shh I scored your goal, and your proudest defense was in vain in front of me! I'm your enemy now! Don't you have the most love and hate? Have you not been soft on your enemies?

My worst enemy is standing right in front of you, why are you so fucking silent? Didn't you tell me to try it if I had one? I tried! Why didn't you boo me? Very good, then I'll score one more goal, two goals, I say it!!

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

With such frantic celebrations, the boos rang out again, and more and more people in the stands where John and the others were put their fingers in their mouths. John didn't move, he looked coldly at Bendtner, who was dancing his teeth and claws below. He found that he couldn't hate this guy, but he definitely wouldn't like him anymore.

"! Poor worm! Just scored a goal, what the fuck are you arrogant! There's a kind of you try another one!! Bill, who was next to him, cursed Bendtner in vicious language.

※※※ Chris Lak angrily punched his seat after Bendtner's goal, and now he turned his head to look at Donn with a calm face next to him: "Do you think he is trying so hard because he wants to prove his ability in front of us?" ”

"What's the use of proof?" Don asked in a flat tone, "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 come out of here are very good." Donn said. "I brought it back from Denmark myself, and if it was too bad, my face would be shaky. Do you think I'm just perfunctory when I say 'I believe he has the ability'? Don't forget, he walked out of Nottingham Forest! Speaking of this, Tang En still couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart, his tone was heavier, the corners of his mouth pulled up, and he sneered.

Tang next to him suddenly sighed and chanted in Chinese: "Those who abandon me will not be allowed to stay yesterday; Those who disturb my heart are said to be troubled today. ”

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

Bengttner was still celebrating wildly under the slogan, which was almost the length of the goal area, as his teammates gathered behind him and raised their fists to demonstrate to the Nottingham Forest fans.

Behind them were Van der Sar and Pepe, who had risen from the ground, and the rest of the Nottingham Forest players who had their heads bowed and a little lost.

From this moment on, Bendtner and his past were cut in two.
