Chapter 12: Let Me Play (Part II)

Don didn't know what Arsenal were saying, he only glanced and found that Arsene Wenger did not take charge of Brady instead of the manager, but stood by with his chest crossed and watched the young players of the Arsenal youth team gather around to listen to Brady. So he took his attention back.

"I want to ...... I don't need to say anything more, do I? You all know what I like, right? ”

"Victory!" Mogan shouted in a low voice, and his teammates immediately echoed in a loud voice.

"Excellent! Arsenal are not weak, but we are also strong. It's raining every day during this time, and I haven't asked you to train indoors. When you are drenched in the rain and become a reservoir dog, and you have to roll in the mud, embarrassed and miserable, you can only complain in your heart, have you ever thought that we will let our opponents taste that kind of taste? ”

Although the players were shaking their heads, the look of excitement on their faces was already palpable.

"That's right! The Arsenal must not have thought of it either! Go surprise them, boys! ”

"Forest Forest, Victory!" The players gathered around yelling and ran up.

Hearing the shouts from the Forest, Wenger was drawn to his gaze. He turned his head to look, only to meet Donn's gaze, which was also observing him.

Arsene Wenger spotted that Don was looking at him, and looked back. Don was still staring at the French handsome, as if he wanted to see through him.

Arthur. Wenger...... We'll have a direct hand-to-head day.

※※※ After the start of the game, the Arsenal youth team showed that they were not comfortable with the bad field, and many of the combinations that could normally be played successfully turned into mistakes because of the venue.

The passing power is small, and the football stops in the mud after rolling a few laps, and kicks it forward hard, and it may fly out of bounds. If you run fast, you can't stop the car, and if you run slowly, you won't be able to catch the ball at all.

Half an hour, the score was still 0:0. The scoreline was unchanged and their clean yellow Arsenal away shirt was almost black.

Thirty-two minutes, Forest's players seemed to have a slight problem with their stamina, the tempo of the attack slowed down, and they began to fall more at the back. The more impatient Arsenal players rushed across the halfway line in the hope of scoring a goal before half-time. They didn't expect to be in the same quagmire as their opponents before the game.

Seeing the player's anxious performance, Wenger raised an eyebrow. But he didn't make a sound to remind Brady, who was standing on the sidelines yelling and directing the game.

When Senderos couldn't hold back and pressed past the center circle, the Arsenal players who stayed behind, except for goalkeeper Carrage. Hollowww (craig'hollowww.xstxt.orgek), big swaths of spaciousness, everywhere...... Wes. Mogan cut off a pass from Arsenal's Czech midfielder Papadopoulos and drove straight to the front. In the eyes of many players in the Arsenal youth team, this is really a blind big kick. Who is in front of them? Forests have almost all shrunk back to defending...... They thought it was good, there was really no one in front of the Forest team now. But they didn't know that Forest had a very fast striker in the squad – Spencer. Spencer'Weir-Daley!

This kind of long-distance pass by a defender, followed by a forward's running to catch the ball, and a one-knife style of play, Donn also often practices in training. However, because Willdaly is almost useless except for running fast, his success surname is not high, but this can't change Donn's idea of insisting on playing like this, even if he only succeeds once a hundred times, but as long as this time he appears at the most critical time, he earns!

For example, now...... Wild Daly ran past Sendros as fast as he could, seemingly completely unaffected by the mud on the field, and Senderos was surprised to turn around and chase the Forest player who hadn't had time to read the number clearly, but was thrown up by a piece of mud that was thrown up and stuck in his face.

The football was still in the air, and Willdaly had already run past the midfield and was approaching the opponent's thirty-metre area.

John on the sidelines cheered loudly and cheered for Willdaly.

"Run, wow! Brat! You can do it! ”

Arsenal defender Smeke, who came up to stop the ball, had just started when his feet slipped...... Then he looked up in despair as Willdaly swept past him like a wind.

"Keep running!!"

Will Daly, who received the football, now has only one person left in front of him - goalkeeper Holloway. The opposition is attacking, and the rest is simple, in the loud shouts of the fans on the sidelines, Verdaly easily shook off Holloway, who had lost his center of gravity, and then pushed the empty goal!

The ball is in! The ball is in!!

The Shaolin abbot born in the 80s made a squeaky sound. It looked as if they were going to tear down the barbed wire fence and rush onto the pitch to celebrate the goal with the Forest players.

"Well done! "Boys" The team's assistant coach, Krislak, stood up to congratulate the players who ran back to the dugout to celebrate, and Donn applauded behind him. It's much easier to take a one-goal lead, and now the initiative is on their side, and Arsenal want to win away from home? It's not that easy!

On the other side, Brady waved his hand angrily, and then scolded, "This damn Tony. Dawn! ”

Arsene Wenger stood behind him with his chest folded, still not saying a word, but his eyes had now shifted from the pitch to the sidelines, and his attention had now shifted from the young players at Arsenal to Toney. Donn.

Know how to use the weather and field conditions to base your tactics, artificially create conditions in your favor if the weather is not perfect, and make the most of every winning factor that can be used...... This youth team coach is not simple.

Ten minutes later, the first half was over, and the visiting Arsenal youth team temporarily trailed Nottingham Forest youth by one goal.

Looking at the players who had been depressed and in low spirits since coming off the field, Wenger suddenly asked Brady, who was busy comforting them: "Riam, did you bring spare sneakers this time?" Spikes. ”

Brady understood, and he nodded, "Bring it, I'll let them all change it now." Then he turned to the little players and said, "Change your spikes and show the little cubs how good we are in the second half!" ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of shoe spikes colliding all around. Arsene Wenger nodded lightly, as long as the team gets used to this slippery and muddy field, he believes that with the overall strength of the team, they can still beat Forest.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to the Forest dugout again, wanting to see that Tony. What Don is doing.

"You guys did a great job!" Donn is shouting praises to the players. "When we're running around this kind of field, we have to roll and climb to keep up with us. Continue to play like this in the second half, intensify the pressing of their team holders, let them keep making mistakes, and making mistakes! ”

"Okay!!"

Hearing the cheers coming from Forest's side, Wenger called Cesc Fabregas to the side.

"Sesk, how did you feel about yourself in the first half?"

Fabregas shook his head honestly, "Not very well, sir. ”

"Why?"

"Well, I don't want to make excuses...... But the pitch is really terrible, I've never played on such a terrible pitch. The ball simply can't be carried. Cesc Fabregas pointed to the pitch behind him, which looked as if it had just been plowed by a tractor, and it was rotten...... Arsene Wenger expressed understanding: "You're right, the pitch does restrict your performance. But I think after the first half, you should have used to the field, right? ”

"Yes, sir."

"Passing the ball more, half-high balls, minimizing the contact between the ball and the ground. Break through with the ball less. Wenger patted Cesc Fabregas on the shoulder, "Remember, Sesk. You are the midfielder, the heart of the team, the brain. You have to play more here. He pointed to his temple, "If the situation is not good, you can change the way you respond, the coach can't call you over anytime and anywhere during the game to tell you what to do next, you have to be the second head coach on the field." ”

Fabregas nodded vigorously: "I see, sir." I know what to do! He turned back to his team-mates and looked at the Forest team with a look that was determined by the clarity of his goal.

※※※Not long after the start of the second half, Don felt that something was wrong. Cesc Fabregas, who was trapped in the quagmire in the first half, was resurrected, he was the heart of Arsenal's midfield, and his resurrection meant that Arsenal also recovered.

The Spaniard was deployed in midfield, with French defender Clichy occasionally cutting in from behind to provide assists to press the Forest defence. Michael. Papadopoulos received Cesc Fabregas's pass in front and then used his technique to get rid of the defender and look for a shot to score. After being criticised by Brady at half-time, Senderos rarely pressed up front in the second half, unless there was a well-placed free-kick or corner in front of him, and the rest of the time he stuck in the back, and Verdaly never had any chances.

Arsenal is like a machine, Cesc Fabregas is the core controller of this machine, everyone else is running around him, he is normal, the team is normal, if he is not normal, the team is dangerous.

In the first half, the Spanish-made controller was clearly short-circuited by muddy water, and in the second half it was back in operation.

Twenty minutes on, and if it weren't for Forest's luck, they would have had at least three holes in the back of the net. At one point, Papadoplov's powerful long-range shot was almost on the verge of the goal, and Forest's goalkeeper John Brown. John 'Lukic pounced on the ball and the ball rolled slowly towards the goal line, but just in front of that white line let Wes. Mogan kicked out!

"Ahh A sigh erupted from the Arsenal dugout, and the Forest side breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not going to go on like this." Chris Rac said to Donn, "That Spanish kid is amazing!" His passing was fantastic! Almost every time we find our vital ......"

Don pinched his chin and muttered, "Yes, yes, you're right, David." He's really good, very good...... But can we have anyone to stop him now? ”

Chris Rac was speechless by Donn's question. Yes, can anyone in the squad now be able to guard against the best player of the under-16 World Junior Football Championship?

The two coaches stared at Cesc Fabregas, who was very active on the pitch, and couldn't make an idea. Sitting on the outermost part of the bench, George. Wood didn't care what was going on on the court, he was restless for almost sixty-five minutes, and he couldn't stay here honestly and learn anything from his teammates on the field. He jerked to his feet, then walked up to Donn, blocking his view.

"George?" Donn looked up at Wood.

"Let me play." Without a word of nonsense, Wood gets straight to the point.

"Now? It's not a good time...... "Donn was right, Fabregas played more than he expected, he was going to let Wood play in this game, but now seeing Fabregas's performance in the second half, he changed his mind on the fly. “…… In line with the principle of protecting young players......"

"Let me play!" Wood repeated his request.

"Tell me why." Basically, George. Wood still listened to Donn, and only occasionally made a fuss and was as tough as he was today...... Wood hesitated, then pointed to some remote corner outside the court and said, "My mom is here, I'm going to let him watch me play." ”

Surprised, Donn looked in the direction of Wood's finger, and sure enough, he saw Sophia, who was hiding in some corner that was not easily noticed, away from where John's fanatical fans were, standing behind barbed wire to watch the game!

"Why is she here?"

Reluctant to explain this, Wood repeated: "Let me play." ”

Don looked at Wood's determined eyes, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, warm up, you only have three minutes, and then come back to me." ”
