When Real Madrid won the penalty, Shania, who was in the VIP box at the Bernabeu, kept her hands clasped together and put them on her chest, bowing her head and muttering a prayer. Her beautiful face was a little pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, and although her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes were still trembling slightly.

"O merciful and Almighty, I do not ask you for forgiveness of my sins, nor do I ask you for riches. I just want my husband to be healthy and always healthy......"

She closed her eyes and kept muttering like that. As for what happened on the field, she didn't care for a long time. She just wants her husband to finish this game safely, and whoever wants to take the championship or something!

※※※

While Shania was praying, Don was sitting in the dugout, his head bowed to calm his emotions. He could feel his heart beating fast, and he had to get it down now. He knew it was impossible to finish the game in 90 minutes.

He still has two substitutions in his hands. Now he has to be thankful that he replaced Shaheen with Kompany before, forming a formation of three central defenders, even if Pepe is sent off, there are two central defenders, and the back line is not obviously lacking.

Real Madrid still have one substitution place left, and they are a little better than them in terms of fitness. Will the 30-minute extra time be an effort to attack Real Madrid, or will it be a penalty shootout with Real Madrid?

Don doesn't want to scold the referee now, he doesn't have that time - of course scolding is to scold, if it weren't for the referee of this dog, now he can already start thinking about how to get on stage to receive the award. But he has to scold after the game, whether he loses or wins. When the time comes, he won't give anyone face, not even Evan. Dogeti came to persuade him, but he didn't admit it.

Donn thought about it for a while and decided to continue looking for goals in extra time and never planned to retreat. He wants Real Madrid to know that even if there is one less person, Nottingham Forest is a tough bone for them!

※※※

After the equaliser, Real Madrid's morale was high and after the resumption of the game, they launched a tidal wave towards Forest's goal. Nottingham Forest, due to one less man, could only fully recover on the field, and even gave the 30-meter area to Real Madrid. They just want to hold on until the end of the game.

Nottingham Forest's defence is not blown. Real Madrid's morale was high and they didn't get much of a chance to kill. Five minutes of stoppage time passed in the blink of an eye, and the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the 90 minutes amid boos.

There was only a five-minute break before extra time, and the time to walk back into the dressing room was largely gone. So everybody stayed in the stadium to rest. The players of both teams gathered in front of their respective coaches' seats, enjoying a relaxing massage while listening to the manager's extra-time tactics.

The Nottingham Forest players sat in a circle, and Donn was crouched in the centre of the circle. He looked left and right.

The players looked a little tired, but not so noticeable because of the unfair treatment and anger they had suffered.

"I'm relieved to see you guys still have such expressions." Don nodded.

He's right, if he's looking at a bunch of dejected players, then it's going to be a tough extra time. He had to arrange another extra-time game. It's good that I don't use it now.

'We're missing one man, but that's okay, that's not a reason to give up the game. I'm sure you don't want to give up on this game, right? ”

"No!" Someone shouted in response.

"Who the wants to give up the game? I'm going to give Real Madrid a little bit of a look! ”

"Not bad. We're going to give them something awesome and see! Don clenched his fist and waved it in front of the players' eyes. Thirty minutes to go! I ask you not to stick to it, but to press out appropriately and attack their defenses. Try to get them in extra time! ”

"We've got to get some fresh troops. Bentley, take a break. ”

Bentley, who was called by name, was a little unwilling, but he couldn't refute the leader's arrangement, so he could only nod very lightly.

Mock, who was warming up, was called back, this was his first Champions League final, he was a little excited, and he was not very honest sitting on the ground.

"Mock, your job on the field is to harass the opposing defense and cause them problems. Once you've got the ball, if there's space in front of you, you can break through. If there is no time to pass the ball again. You have better stamina than their Marcelo and this is an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

Mock nodded vigorously.

Donn glanced at him and continued: "If Mitchel is in the penalty area, you pass the ball to him after you break through, I don't care how you pass it, anyway, you have to send the football to him, head or foot is up to you." ”

Mock continued to nod. If he sticks his tongue out again, he will be a faithful hound.

'At the back, our full-backs had a little bit less of an assist – at least in the first half. Our plan was to continue to defend and counter-attack in the first half of extra time. Let Real Madrid attack first, consume their stamina, and save ours. These 15 minutes must be defended for me, and absolutely must not concede a goal. This is the key, and you must remember. Then, in the second half, we started attacking again, and when it was time to attack, we didn't hesitate to commit our troops, and the full-backs had to be bold to step forward. Although we practiced penalty kicks yesterday...... But I don't want to see this, and if they can be dealt with in a hundred and twenty minutes, you're welcome! ”

Don slammed his fist into the palm of his hand.

"George and Fernando, you guys take turns attacking in extra time. Nouri has been replaced, and the task of organizing the attack is left to you. ”

"Yes, sir." Gago replied.

Wood just nodded.

The tactics were basically laid out, and Donn paused, and there were not many minutes left.

"Alright, guys. It's the last thirty minutes, the last thirty minutes of a season. We have suffered injustice just now, but listen to me, the best way to get revenge for this injustice is not to besiege the referees on the field, but to slap them with victory! When we win, we'll have no problem saying anything. If you want to get revenge on them, win the game first! ”

"If you're tired, just grit your teeth and hold on! I don't want to see anyone discouraged at this time, you know that you are a whole, an indispensable whole. If any of you give up first, you're going to get your teammates in big trouble......"

Speaking of which, Donn suddenly remembered Pepe, who was sent off because of impulsiveness, does he count himself as giving up first?

Donn looked at the players in front of him, some of them were already exhausted from running for more than 90 minutes. Forest have one less man than Real Madrid and will certainly be more tired than Real Madrid in the next 30 minutes. He was really worried about the collapse at the last minute because of the fitness of the team.

"Uh......" he scratched his head's messy hair, "Pepe's fate was an accident...... "he feared that the players would put the blame on Pepe in their hearts. "An irreparable accident. Remember what I said before the game? Compared to Real Madrid, we are one. Now that this whole is missing one person, what should I do? Very simple. He spread his hands, "Everyone who is still on the court has to run a little more distance than usual, do more things than usual, add up every little distance and some things!" Donn reached out as if grasping something, and then squeezed it hard.

"We're still eleven against eleven with them!"

The big guy in this last sentence is full of blood. They had just felt that the game was difficult because of the lack of one person, and suddenly they all regained their confidence. The boss is right, as long as each of us runs a little more than usual and does more, then won't it make up for the hole that Pepe was sent off with one less person?

What is Team Spirit?

This moment, they experienced it firsthand.

That's team spirit!

Don glanced back at Yongdao, where he caught a glimpse of Pepe. The kid didn't go back to the locker room, he stayed on the sidelines and watched what was happening on the pitch.

Although he put the team in trouble because of his impulsiveness, he can't blame him, and he must make the team not blame him. The Forest team has to be united, otherwise they won't be able to reach the top of Europe and achieve a great treble.

Chrislak came up: "Tony, it's time......"

Don got up from the ground, "Come on, guys. Don't forget that you are now eleven people...... No, it's twelve...... Not right either. Donn thought about it for a moment, "The coach's box plus the bench plus the fans in the stands, and the Nottingham Forest fans who can't come to Madrid and can only watch this game in front of the TV, they are with you, there are far more of you than Real Madrid, what is there to be afraid of, guys?" They should be the ones to be scared! Donn pointed to the Real Madrid players next to him, who were also getting up to prepare for the game.

The players laughed, they really had nothing to worry about. The psychological impact of Pepe's departure on them has long since disappeared.

"Alright, let's teach them a lesson!" Don clapped his hands and walked off the court.

He saw Pepe again, who was peering over to him. The rules don't let him return to the court, not even on the sidelines, he can only be at the Yongdaokou, like a thief.

If Pepe had calmed down, he would be doing it now.

※※※

After extra time, the Real Madrid players were in high spirits and laid siege to Forest's goal. It looks like the excitement of the equaliser hasn't passed yet. Don was not in a hurry, just watching from the sidelines as Real Madrid laid siege to Forest's goal.

This was all expected by him. It's basically like that in extra time – you attack the half, I attack the half.

In the first half, Nottingham Forest defended and had to withstand Real Madrid's attack, no matter how ugly the scene was.

During this time, Real Madrid were on the attack, and on one occasion kicked the ball on the post of the Forest goal, almost finding the goal.

Another time, after Ronaldo broke through Raphinha, he chose to shoot directly from a small angle, and the football hit the side-netting, making the TV broadcasters and fans think the goal was scored, and there were huge cheers in the stands, and the commentator blurted out: "The ball is in!" ”

At that moment, Don could feel his heart stop beating. Fortunately, he soon found Ronaldo with his head in his hands, full of chagrin.

"Damn......" Don scolded weakly. Why are you so excited to play a side net......"

In the first half, it was difficult for Nottingham Forest to score into Real Madrid's half. Real Madrid pressed all over the line, and launched wave after wave of attacks on the Forest goal amid the shouts of the home fans and the voices of everyone.

Real Madrid fans in the stands were collectively chanting: "Lalala! Magical Juanito! La-la-la! Magical Juanito!! ”

The shout, which was supposed to be remembered in the seventh minute of each game, was heard again in the seventh minute of extra time. Real Madrid fans have apparently let go of their previous arrogance and think that it will be easy to deal with Nottingham Forest. Now they need the help of the spirit of Juanito.

Juan. Juanito used to be Real Madrid's No. 7, and in the seventies and eighties when Real Madrid was relatively sluggish, Juanito's fighting spirit was the spiritual symbol of Real Madrid at that time. He always fights at the last moment and never gives up. In order to win, he dared to kick the linesman and punch Mateus...... He later died in a car accident in 1992, and Real Madrid held a royal funeral for him, and there was only the great president Santiago before him in the history of Real Madrid. Mr. Bernabeu had only been treated to such a funeral.

At this moment, Real Madrid fans feel the danger. They knew that the enemy in front of them could not be defeated by footwork, heel passing, and artistry. There is always a lot of hard work in the Premier League that can scare the opposition.

Real Madrid fans should let Nottingham Forest know, don't think that we Real Madrid only have artists, only play with fancy foot skills, we also have blood surnames, we will also fight!

Gago was a little slow to get the ball in midfield and was immediately pulled down by Higuain.

Gago, who fell to the ground, raised his hands to the referee again to signal that the opponent had committed a foul. Higuain had already run back quickly, and the background was reminiscent of George. Wood – He always turns and runs away after a foul on the other side, ignoring the protests.

It seems that Higuain, a good baby, is also red-eyed.

The Spanish commentator also completely put aside the position that the commentator should be fair and fair, and kept cheering for Real Madrid in the commentary.

"Come on Madrid! Nottingham Forest have a passing error! This is a good opportunity...... Oops, it's stopped! It's a shame to be held directly by Akinfeev! ”

"There are five minutes left until the first half of extra time...... Real Madrid are now laying siege to Nottingham Forest's goal...... It's a handball! Why didn't the referee give a verdict? This is obviously a foul! ”

"George. Wood brought down Ribery, he deserves a red card! Even if it's a yellow card, he's sent off! Football played by Nottingham Forest is so ugly! ”

"If Forest do win the title, all I can say is that such a title is definitely not convincing. Take a look at how they did in those ten minutes! All retracted into the penalty area to defend, is football supposed to be like this? And the non-stop fouls...... If you were to ask me to describe this final, all I could say was: 'Kick ankle kick ankle kick ankle!' 'What else?' Gone! ”

"Deliberately hurting people, attacking linesmen, dirty tactical set-up, if such a team wins the European Champions Cup, it is really an insult to the supreme honor of the Champions Cup!"

These indignant Spanish commentators almost scolded Donn for being a bitch-bitched bastard.

On the other hand, commentators in England are worried about the future of Nottingham Forest. Real Madrid's offensive is too strong, and Don is blindly defensive, in case he can't hold and let the team fall behind, it will also cause extremely serious damage to the team's morale.

"I always felt that Forest should fight back properly, but look at them right now they can't even get past midfield......

"After all, this is the Bernabeu and Don shouldn't underestimate the energy of Real Madrid in this stadium. Now that Real Madrid has been cornered, listen to the shouts of the Real Madrid fans in the stands...... What are they shouting? Juanito! This is one of the toughest guys in Real Madrid's history! ”

"I'm working for Tony. Done's heart was worried. Will he be able to stand up in the face of such an offensive? ”

In fact, Don not only stood still, but also stood firmly. Although Real Madrid's attack is fierce, Don is keenly aware that there are not many times in their attack that can really threaten the goal, and the so-called thunder and rain are like this.

Seeing that the first half was already at the end of the game, if Real Madrid couldn't score, then they would have been out of luck in the second half. They have consumed too much physical strength, and their momentum is gradually declining.

With a sneer on his face, Donn finally heard the referee's whistle.

"The first half of extra time is over, Tony. Don's heart can finally take a break! The two sides did not rest, and went straight to the second half for 15 minutes. In a sense, it's the last fifteen minutes of the championship, and if neither side can score, then it's a penalty shootout! I admit I was a bit surprised that Real Madrid, who were thought to be superior to Nottingham Forest before the game, had the final that deserved to be won dragged to the 105th minute. ”

'I'm still not optimistic about Forest. After fifteen minutes, how much physical strength is left for the Forest team with one less person? This is a very interesting issue. Michelle apparently saw it too. In the first half of extra time, every player in the Forest team was running desperately to make up for the disadvantage after Pepe left the field. Nottingham Forest haven't conceded a goal so far, and it has to do with the efforts of their players. But people are not machines after all, how long can they hold out on to such a high-intensity confrontation? Five minutes? Ten minutes? I bet that as long as Real Madrid continue to grit their teeth and intensify their attack in the second half, Nottingham Forest will definitely collapse! ”

The commentators have made predictions for extra-time in the second half, and no one is optimistic about Nottingham Forest, who are still exhausted with one man less.

Even George. Wood, an iron man, ran to the sidelines to ask for water when the two sides were changing sides. It looked like he was tired enough, and the jersey looked like it had just been fished out of the water, gasping for air and pouring water into his mouth.

"George." Don leaned in, but he wasn't very close so as not to attract attention.

Wood heard the head coach's whisper, and he turned to look at Donn.

"Uh......" Donn scratched his hair, "I've always had a problem that has been in my mind for ten years. ”

Wood tilted his head and looked at Donn suspiciously, he didn't understand what it was, and what it had to do with him and what it had to do with the game.

"That...... Do you remember? You gave me back my wallet, and we met through that wallet. What I want to ask is the kid who bumped me on the street the day before and stole my wallet? ”

The expression on Wood's face changed, and the confusion was gone, but there was a little vigilance.

Don grinned and looked at Wood, expecting his answer.

The referee must have noticed, and Wood glanced at the referee and was about to turn and run onto the pitch. But before leaving, he didn't forget to answer Donn's question: "Yes." ”

With that, he ran away.

Leave Don to look at his back and smile. The back of this running on the field coincides with the back of the person who stole his wallet in the first place, and the running posture really can't change even if it takes another ten years......

If you hadn't stolen my wallet in the first place, would I have missed out on a genius and a wonderful life for the next ten years?

Robin Hood, the purse-stealing thief...... Don found out that what the media outside said was really not wronged - this is a team of thieves.

Well, let's steal that trophy in front of 80,000 people, in front of hundreds of millions of TV viewers!

Don cast his gaze to the large, silver-eared cup at the exit of the hallway.

There was a glint in his eyes, it was the glint of greed.
