Chapter 35: We Will Win (Part I)

When Cousin Tom was gleefully talking about the upcoming game in the afternoon, Sania tried to remind him several times to change the black and white Newcastle shirt, but in the end she held back.

She wore a red coat herself, but this did not attract her cousin's attention.

So, when she was in the away stands at St James' Park, surrounded by Red-clad Forest fans, she was at ease. And her poor cousin was miserable...... Imagine a Newcastle fan in a black and white shirt in a red square!

Tom. Sawyer cowered in the crowd, and the Nottingham Forest fans around him looked at him with malicious eyes. Look at the physique of these people, fat people, fat people! His arms were as thick as his thighs...... Such people are not easy to mess with, and he can only pray that these men do not drink too much, otherwise it is really unpredictable...... "Should I hope Newcastle win or lose......" he muttered from his seat.

No one cared about his wails as the Forest fans raised their arms and cheered for the team. Shania jumped and screamed along with the men. In his own home, Tom has never seen Shania so crazy, he has always wanted to train Brazilian girls to be Magpie fans, but he didn't expect her to be a fan of Nottingham Forest, is it because of that "Uncle Tony"?

Tom stood up and leaned over to the visiting dugout.

"Uncle Tony" seemed excited, waving his arms on the sidelines in a loud and exaggerated range.

Tom glanced at the scoreboard: Newcastle 1:0 Nottingham Forest. The goal came six minutes earlier and was scored by Newcastle Manuel Aren Brown, the 'Angel of the North'. Shearer. At that time, when he saw Newcastle score, he reflexively jumped up and wanted to raise his arms and shout, but when he saw the silence of the Forest fans around him, he immediately sat down.

"Maybe a draw...... It's a good result......" he thought to himself.

※※※ Ever since the team conceded the goal, Donn has been standing on the sidelines and has not returned to the dugout.

Later David. Chris Rac also walked over to him from the dugout and stood with him on the sidelines.

"Alain. Shearer is amazing......" Donn sighed, "and still have that kind of impact at the age of thirty......"

He was referring to the goal conceded by Forest, a typical Shearer-style goal – speed! Strength!

The young and strong Piquee was completely defeated when he faced Shearer with a sudden sprint and then slid through the air to fight him for a header.

He jumped a step late, and as a direct result, he was held firmly under Shearer, powerless to resist, and watched as his opponent pushed Bowyer's pass into the back of the net over his head.

Compared to Drogba, Shearer is clearly better at combining his body and technique with experience. Piques had no excuse for losing.

Chrislac, who was standing next to him, nodded: "We underestimated him a little too much before......"

Forest's previous tactical set-up has focused on Newcastle's top scorer so far this season, Dutchman Kluivert, as Souness has not announced his starting line-up for this game and Forest do not know who he will field. Don in Kluivert, Michael. Chopra and Alain. Shearer chose the first two of the three, Alain. Shearer was injured in Newcastle's narrow 4-3 win over Manchester City in their last game and was substituted early.

Done should be on the bench for Shiller, after all, despite his age, Shearer is still an important figure in the Newcastle team, and Souness has no reason to let Shearer play with an injury - there has been news of Shearer's injury before the game.

I didn't expect it to be fake news!

Shearer not only went on, but also scored!

"Goal machine - Alain. Shearer! Don gritted his teeth.

In contrast to Shearer's excellent performance, the other striker, Kluivert, was a little lackluster, running less aggressively and lacking the right shots.

"He must have forgotten his shooting boots in a private room at a nightclub!" The TV commentator teased the Dutch who loved to enjoy the nightlife.

Newcastle fans don't care about Kluivert's performance. Shearer alone can attract the attention of the audience. Ever since Shearer's goal, Newcastle fans have been singing and praising Shearer, with nearly 50,000 fans praising their "God" with different variations.

Such an away atmosphere made even Donn, who was on the sidelines, feel a little suffocated, not to mention the players running on the field.

'David, we need to score.' Done turned back to Chris Rac and said, "The sooner you score, the better, you have to beat Newcastle's arrogance!" Let Viduka withdraw and tell the Gypsies that if the opponent's No. 6 (Jean-Alain. Baumsson was pulled out and he cut in and then the two wings got a couple of more diagonal passes to the space behind the Newcastle defenders. ”

Donn didn't say a word, and Chrislak nodded. When Donn was all done, he began to turn and gesture to the field, while whistling to remind the players to pay attention to his gestures - these things are specially practiced by the Forest team in training, and if you don't want your opponent to easily guess your tactical intentions, you need to use some "codes"...... Compared to Newcastle's formidable attack, their defence is nothing short of flattering. Heavy offense and light defense are from Kevin. The Newcastle style has been handed down since the Keegan era. The Highlanders are complacent about this because their football is not conservative at all, and of course they are happy for 80 percent of a season, and then in the last 20 percent they are left with grief and disappointment – being able to play attacking football that makes neutral fans cheer and applaud without being able to win a league trophy for their fans.

Should we say that Newcastle fans are happy or unhappy?

※※※ Baumsson found that the opposing striker Viduka, who had always been at the front of the previous game, began to withdraw to receive the ball, and he took it for granted that this was the credit of his own defense, and it was his unwavering defense against the Australians that forced the opponent to retreat to receive the ball.

He also shared his thoughts with the TV commentator: "Newcastle who scored a goal are in high spirits, Nottingham Forest don't have too good chances, they can't even score in the Newcastle penalty area now. Look at Viduka, who was at the front but couldn't catch the ball, so he had to retreat to look for opportunities. ”

Want to get rid of me?

Baumsson grinned as he watched Viduka's back run out.

Dream!

He followed.

Off-pitch, Souness saw Baumsson run out of the box and chased Viduka forward. Suddenly stood up from the seat of the dugout and watched the strong center forward uncharacteristically withdraw from the penalty area...... He smelled danger from the humid air.

Baumson ran out and another young centre-back Stephen Brown. Taylor was also ripped out. Viduka was the Forest player who was mentioned most by Souness before the game, as only Viduka is now the most familiar to England coaches.

Souness told his players that Viduka is strong, powerful, very capable of scoring goals, is Forest's current top scorer, and the only eighteen-year-old Taylor who needs to be taken care of has these words firmly in mind, and he only has Viduka in his eyes at this time, as for the surroundings? Leave it to your teammates!

Nottingham Forest captain Albertini is in possession as Newcastle Senegalese defender Mustafa Murstafa. Faye stepped forward to press, but was shaken by Albertini with technique, and the experienced Italian did not rush to pass the ball after passing Faye, he just made a feint of passing, which caused a chain reaction in the Newcastle defence.

Newcastle's other midfielder, Nicky. Bart (nichy_butt) pounced on Albertini, completely forgetting about Freddie beside him. Eastwood. Maybe he saw it, but didn't think the gypsy posed any threat. With more than 30 minutes played, Eastwood had few chances on goal and did not pose any threat to the goal guarded by Given.

For Bart, the man with the ball in front of him is far more dangerous than Eastwood.

Souness's eyes widened suddenly, and he rushed to the sidelines and yelled, "Look at that kid! ”

He was referring to Freddy. Eastwood. Souness, who was watching the game from the sidelines, could see clearly that after Bart pounced to defend Albertini, there was a vacuum around Eastwood and no one was watching!

Taylor finally noticed the blind spot, and he turned and ran towards Eastwood. That's when Albertini passed the ball and instead of passing to Taylor's target Eastwood, he made a surprise move to the flank and passed to Frank. Ribery.

The Frenchman has attracted more and more attention with his excellent performances in recent league games, so Newcastle's players are also paying special attention to this scarface. Taylor saw Ribery receiving the ball, and his first reaction was that he would pass, and he had to make up for it, and the defense line needed to be deep, otherwise if Carl was passed, it would be empty!

Thinking of this, the young centre-back could no longer care about the scene he had just seen, ran past Eastwood, and met Ribery with Karl.

Ribery, who was in possession of the ball, saw Taylor move, he was waiting for this moment, without any superfluous movements, he kicked a diagonal line, and the ball passed between Taylor and Karl!
