Volume 7 The Heart of the Lion King Chapter 15 The True Goal

A helicopter flew over the City Stadium, crossed the River Trent and turned back. Viewed from a helicopter, the city stadium on the south bank of the Trent River is crowded with people and crowds the surrounding roads.

The rustling of electricity was heard from the walkie-talkie pinned to his shoulder, and a policeman looked up at the helicopter flying over his head, then looked back again.

A crowd of Forest fans passed him singing.

"Forest, forest! We are Nottingham Forest! ”

"Forest, forest! We are Nottingham Forest! ”

Singing came at him from all directions, and poured through him into the city stadium not far ahead.

"Forest Forest, we are Nottingham Forest......" The policeman also whispered.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ ε‘²ε‘²...... 0415, report back to your side. Complete...... Crackling ......" came the rustling sound of a call over the intercom.

"This is 0415, everything is normal, over."

"Forest, forest, invincible! Forest Forest, we are Nottingham Forest ......" The policeman turned around and twisted the radio in the car with a song.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We saw that the buses of both sides had stopped outside the city stadium and the players were rushing out of the buses. A great game, in thirty minutes, will be there for you! See you after a minute of advertising! ”

β€»β€»β€»

β€œgogogogo!” Chris Rac kept shouting in the locker room, "Get nervous, it's the Champions Cup!" He urged the players to go out and warm up.

The players changed their clothes and ran out, and no one dared to delay even a second in front of the leader. In fact, there is no need for the assistant coach to remind you, everyone knows what kind of game this is. This season's Forest team has bigger ambitions than ever before.

Don ran into Arsene Wenger on the sidelines as he went out, and the two of them stood together and chatted.

"I'll get tired of seeing you three times in a row."

Arsene Wenger laughed, "I don't like to see your face either." ”

"This schedule is shit...... By the way, I have to make sure of one thing before the game, Asena. ”

"Huh?"

"If I double kill your Arsenal this season, will we still stand together like this and talk like this in the future?"

"You're so confident?" Arsene Wenger didn't answer his question, but watched him rhetorically with interest.

"It's a possibility, isn't it?"

"Ha, I'll talk about it when you really win." Arsene Wenger turned away, never answering Donn's question. This question is really difficult to answer, he is not the kind of person who can accept the result calmly after being defeated by his opponent, and bless his opponent, and he is not willing to think about this kind of problem. Because once you think about it, it's like a demonic seed that takes root in your heart. There will always be a shadow hovering deep within: are we really going to lose?

Donn looked at Arsene Wenger's back and laughed silently.

Fifteen minutes later, the team warmed up and returned to the locker room.

Donn looked at the players and amused them with his first words: "Does anyone think we're still playing in the league right now?" ”

The locker room was full of laughter.

"Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal...... Three times, I hope you don't get bored. Ah......" Donn sighed, "I know it's not easy to face a strong opponent three times in a row. But I'm sorry I won't be considerate of you at this time, and say something that everyone should do their best, but please have a clear conscience and such a brainless stupidity. My request to you is simple, and it has never changed, and that is ......"

Just as Don took a deep breath and was about to say that, the players collectively shouted: "Win! ”

Tang En was stunned, then snapped his fingers with a smile: "It seems that I will have to change my lines in the future." That's right, victory. I don't want anything but victory. No matter how strong the opponent is, no matter how difficult our own situation is, I just want to win. If you want to rest, take it all in one breath to take out the opponents in front of you, win all the titles, and enjoy your vacation to the fullest. But now is not the time to relax. He paused slightly.

"From today until ...... Until the evening of May 22, you will have to maintain this fighting spirit. Don't relax for a moment......" He bowed his head again and was silent, not shouting with this momentum to mobilize the emotions of the players.

Today's head must be a little strange in the eyes of the players.

There was silence for a moment, and everyone in the locker room waited for Donn to speak again. Donn finally looked up and smiled at everyone, "Create a season that you'll never forget in your entire careerβ€”three." Crown. King. ”

When the last word came out of Donn's mouth softly, the person who heard it suddenly felt a numb scalp, and a flame roared up in his heart, blazing brightly.

Triple Crown!

What an exciting future this is......

Domestic League, Domestic Number One Cup, European Top Cup, Three Championships. Since Manchester United in 1999, there has been no second team in Europe. Liverpool's claim that they have won the "five crowns" is just a joke, and Barcelona was only the league and Champions Cup winners at their peak, and they did not win the Copa del Rey.

That's right, it's the hardship and crucial luck factor that makes it a big deal.

There was a strange look and light on the faces of all the players, as if they had seen such a future.

On May 11 he came back with the Premier League trophy, on May 17 he came back with the FA Cup, and then on May 22 he came back with the Champions Cup...... Come back here!

Just thinking about such a scene already makes people's blood boil.

As the two players shook hands before the game, Cesc Fabregas felt George. Wood shook his hand hard, which made him a little happy.

He thought Wood had the same fighting spirit as he did when facing him.

But in fact, Wood was a little excited when he thought of the "triple crown" that Donn said......

β€»β€»β€»

"The game has already started and Nottingham Forest are besieging Arsenal's goal with their home advantage. They were very aggressive, I didn't expect them to attack here at the beginning of the game......"

The commentator was amazed by the attacking attitude of the Forest team from the start. He certainly didn't know that it was because of the goal that Donn had said before the game that had dazzled and boosted the morale of the Forest players.

Arsene Wenger sat in the dugout, not surprised. He didn't know what Donn had instilled in the Forest players before the game, but it was in his plan.

He told his players that the Forest team would attack as soon as they started, and it didn't matter, let them attack. When their offensive weakens, the stadium will be the stage for Arsenal to put on a show.

When defending, the Forest team will definitely press Arsenal all over the field, which will be a huge drain on their energy. So even if Arsenal didn't get any decent chances and didn't score in the whole first half, it didn't matter. As long as the Forest team was consumed with a lot of energy in the first half, the tactics were half the battle.

But Arsene Wenger didn't wait for the scene he wanted to see.

Twenty-one minutes into the first half, Arsenal made a mistake at the back. Sagna made a mistake in handling the ball under Fernandez's pressing, and the passing power was too small, and he was killed by Shaheen halfway through. Then Shaheen passed straight ahead, Ibyshevic successfully countered offside, and faced the attacking Almunia to send the ball into the empty net easily.

It was a goal that made the City Stadium boil.

Don stood up and hugged the people around him in celebration, and a stone fell in his heart.

"Super Ibby!!" There were loud cheers from the stands.

The commentator is also excitedly announcing: "This is his twentieth goal of the season!" This Bosnian is Tony. Donn's most trusted shooter! ”

Forest celebrated their goal, but Arsene Wenger in the visitors' dugout was unmoved. Forest's goal was also expected by him......

After Forest's goal, they took advantage of the situation to cover up for a while, but they were unable to take Arsenal again. Arsenal steadied themselves after the 27th minute and began to counter-attack.

They played their own football, kept it under their feet, and every pass was amazing, and watching them play was like enjoying a classical concert, with the football flowing under their feet like musical notes, playing beautiful music one after another.

And what about Nottingham Forest? You can only defend passively and run along. They kept pressing up front and Arsenal responded with quick passes. Try not to stop the football.

Cesc Fabregas is at the heart of this tactic and he doesn't need one man to dribble past several people and then send the ball into the empty net. He only needs to sit in the midfield and be the transition center for the whole team's passes. Whether it's a forward or backward pass, whether it's left or right, everyone will pass the ball to him and he will assign the route where the football should go.

He is like a supercomputer, all the information that needs to be processed will be sent to him first, and then it will be fed back after his processing. He is the true heart of Arsenal.

George. Wood was on the opposite side in this game. This only made Cesc Fabregas even more energetic, for a while he barely let the ball stay at his feet for an extra second, always observing the team's movement and the opponent's position before receiving the ball, and after the ball was passed, he sent the ball away and let Wood save for the air.

Even the commentator gave Cesc Fabregas all the nice things he said: "Watching his runs and passing is a pleasure to watch. His every move seems casual, but it is closely related to the situation on the field. All the movements of Arsenal and opponents are under his control, even George. Wood can't do anything about him! …… Reflexive passes! Empty, Sania plugged in! How did he see behind him? It's amazing! It's so beautiful! Although he still has one of England's best young midfielders like Wilshere by his side, he is still far from him! ”

Cesc Fabregas himself enjoyed the feeling. Whenever he saw Wood pounce on the ball after passing it, he laughed to himself.

Arsenal have also been very good during this period, and their combination of crosses and cuts has been dazzling and praised. It's a pity that they didn't break through Akinfeev's goal, because no matter how beautiful the pass is, it can't solve the battle, "Arsenal like to pass football into the goal" is always an exaggeration, and the final score still depends on the shot.

Carlos. Vela is flexible but a little skinny and he doesn't take advantage of much in the Forest box. Van Persie didn't seem to have shooting boots with him today, and his shooting accuracy was always a little bit off.

In the end, Cesc Fabregas suddenly uncharacteristically did not pass the ball near the end of the first half, but came in front of Wood with a cold shot!

Thankfully, Akinfeev was attentive and scraggered to save the ball to prevent Arsenal from equalising before half-time.

'When Arsenal's strikers can't be relied upon, Cesc Fabregas steps up on his own. It's a pity that this shot is on goal...... Almost scored. ”

The narrator is very sorry. In the first half, both sides played a good ball for half the time, and only scored one goal, which is really a bit unenjoyable...... In particular, Arsenal's attacking coordination in the final period looked like a nap in the warmth of the sun while drinking afternoon tea. It's a pity that this afternoon tea lacks a plate of freshly baked cookies, and just drinking tea is really boring.

β€»β€»β€»

At half-time, Donn praised his team's performance in the first half of the first half, but he did not criticize the team's performance in the second half. He thinks it's because Arsenal are doing so well and he has to deal with it. If Arsenal are allowed to play like this, sooner or later Forest's goal will be breached.

"George, you still haven't been tight enough with Cesc Fabregas. You can't let him pass the ball in front of you so easily...... You only had a handful of fouls in the first half. Donn held up five fingers, "Look at the jersey he wore when he came off the field, it looked like it had just been retrieved from the laundromat." It's a shame on you, George! ”

Donn doesn't have any grievances against the team, but he's not kind to Wood.

Wood was silent, he had accepted Donn's criticism.

"Second half...... Donn muttered, "if Arsenal continue to play like this...... We just shuffle the defence and let them pass on the outside, and we have the ball in hand anyway. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed: "Let's see how Arsenal get the ball into our goal!" ”
