Now it was Nottingham Forest who were attacking, and after the start of the second half, they were very proactive and began to threaten the Arsenal Earth Gate frequently! ”

Wood wasn't very involved in the offense, and he was put in a defensive position by Donn in this game to stop the opposition from attacking. So now he doesn't have anything to do, he stands in the back as if he's watching a play.

Mikel Arteta took the ball past midfield and here Berry made a link-up and the pair crossed positions. Ribery to the middle and Arteta to the wing, whose feet is the football?

No one got the ball.

Arteta played the ball to Ribery when he switched places with Ribery, and then when the two crossed the pitch, Ribery moved the ball directly laterally to the right side of the pitch, where Ashley Young was on the turf of Ashley Young.

"Ashley Young, stop the ball beautifully!"

Ashley Cole stepped forward to defend the young player with the same name, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Zim Bonda is plugging in the back and preparing to socket the edge. Ashley Cole saw it, Ashley Young must have seen it, he cut inside with the ball, oh his mother helped Da flow out of the space after the plugged in, Ashley Young hesitated, or with 226; Young's side, as for Zim Bonda, was handed over to his teammates to clean up.

Ashley Young continues to dribble laterally. Zim Bonda told from behind him to run through. He didn't mean to pass the ball, he didn't mean to change direction and burst into the box. He was dribbling the ball down the middle, and the Arsenal defenders formed a wall in the box to prevent him from suddenly passing through. On the one hand prevent him from shooting.

Ribery was very close to him. The two made a cross-switch, this time with Ashley Young in the middle and Ribery on the right, and the ball was at Ribery's feet as the two of them switched places. Then, just when everyone thought Ribery would continue to dribble the ball to the wing, he suddenly crossed with his right foot!

Viduka leaps high and heads the ball into goal! Lyman is heroic. Lifted this very powerful shot over the crossbar.

Forest won their first corner of the second half and their second corner of the game.

Both Pique and Pepe ran up and prepared to battle for the top, while George Wood and Layton Barnes stayed behind to prevent the opposition from counter-attacking.

"Look at them!" Lyman raised his arms and shouted, chaos in front of his door. Push it out! ”

Arteta stands by the corner flag. Prepare for tee-off.

"It's a Nottingham Forest corner and it's their chance."

The referee blew the whistle to signal that a corner was ready to be taken.

Arteta run-up. Kick cross!

The ball is fast and flat, with a small arc. Fly straight ahead!

While the attention of the Arsenal penalty area was on Pepe and the likes of Piqui and Viduca, Ribery suddenly struck out of the diagonal stab and rushed forward. And then a header!

The City Stadium was boiling and the home team scored!

"Beautiful header! Frank Ribery! Defensively, the header is very powerful! Nottingham Forest take the lead at home! ”

Don stood up from his seat with his arms raised. When he needed to score, the goal came as expected. What could be more perfect than this?

Corners, free kicks...... All set-pieces are rehearsed in their usual training, especially before important matches. Got results today.

It was as if he had seen the gates of the Stade de France in Paris, slowly opening before his eyes.

“2：1！ Nottingham Forest lead on aggregate and have one more away score: the final is getting closer! ”

There was a huge cheer from the stands and the Nottingham Forest fans were surrounded by great happiness.

Ribery ran to the corner flag and hugged Arteta for his pass. Goal in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League for Ribery two years ago. But I can't even think of it.

On the other side, Wenger, who saw the ball dropped, sat in the coach's seat and waved his hand vigorously. Very annoyed. But he wasn't in a hurry because it's only five minutes into the second half. They had at least forty minutes left to equalise. Nottingham Forest have only scored one goal at Highbury Stadium and this is great news for Arsenal, so that a single goal for Arsenal will not only equalise the aggregate score, but also offset Forest's away goal advantage, and the two sides are back on the same page.

But now these things are just the imagination of Wenger's mind.

He needs the players to put it all to work.

Arsene Wenger got up from his seat and didn't need to shout anything, the Arsenal players on the pitch knew what to do. Everything was already laid out at half-time.

It's just a goal conceded, and it's not to the point of exhaustion.

The Nottingham Forest players celebrated the goal and Ribery hugged everyone before running back to hug manager Tony Downe.

Don smiled and congratulated him, then asked them to go on the field to replay.

"Well done, guys. Get back on the field and defend! Remember. Defend! Our next task is to defend and not let Arsenal take their chances. Don't let us score, hold on until the last second! ”

Don felt that he was a little long-winded, there was no way, the closer he got to success, the more nervous he became. If he could, he would love to smoke a cigarette to relieve stress. But smoking is not allowed here.

The players obediently returned to the pitch and the Arsenal locals had placed their football in the centre circle ready to kick off.

"If Arsenal want to qualify for the final, attacking with all their might and trying to equalise on aggregate early is the only way. I think...... Arsene Wenger must have found a way."

He does have a way. After the restart, Arsenal unexpectedly dropped the wide attack. Instead, it was changed to a strong mid lane. This is a defying common sense, and even the narrator finds it incredible. But sitting in the dugout of the home team, Don scolded Wenger for being cunning in his heart.

Arsene Wenger knows where Wood is at the moment. And Don En worries about the most things.

Storm the middle, target Wood, and concentrate your firepower to make Wood lose sight of the other. Increasing the pressure on his defense also increases the likelihood of him fouling.

Arsene Wenger must have thought Wood would be worried about taking cards. And in defense, you don't dare to use your best, right? This will give other teams more chances to break through the defence and equalise.

If it hadn't been for that last-minute conversation at halftime, Don would have thought so.

But...... It was the knowledge that Wood would not change his style of play because of a yellow card or something that Arsenal's tactics worried Donn even more.

Arsene Wenger is looking to use Wood as a breaking point. Get a goal. Equaliser. Done was only concerned that Wood would be booked for a foul in the face of non-stop attack.

The Arsenal players are deliberately leaning towards Wood and then looking for a breakthrough from him. There was even some intention to lure him onto the local area.

Wood did not flinch, the soldiers came to block, the water came to cover the earth, and he took everything as ordered.

It's just that when he saw this scene from the sidelines, Tang Enke could only bite his lip nervously.

"This bastard ......"

Donn squeezed the sentence out of his mouth, and David Chris Lacker next to him didn't know whether Donn was scolding Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, or the unheeded George Wood.

When Wood stopped Arsenal from attacking with another foul. Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines and waved dissatisfiedly. He was unhappy with the referee's slow uncarding, and he was using it to put pressure on the referee to show Wood.

At the same time, there are also Arsenal players who are putting pressure on the referee. However, the referee only verbally warned Wood. There is no intention to play the cards.

"George!" Van der Sar shouted from behind, "Don't forget to tell you the ......."

Wood ignored Van der Sar, who turned his back to the goalkeeper and didn't say anything.

The next time, when the Arsenal army was in a tight position, before Wood could step up to defend, Arteta stumbled over Thierry Henry.

The referee's whistle sounded again, and his whistle sounded very frequently during this time. Arsenal attacked fiercely, and Forest's defensive pressure in the middle was very high.

Wood looked at Arteta with some surprise.

"Don't think I can't defend, George. I'm also a back back. Don't look down on me." Arteta turned his head and smiled at Wood.

Then take advantage of the opportunity to line up the wall. Arteta turned to his teammates and shouted: "George needs support. Guys. Defending isn't his thing! There is no card on the body, and I consciously point it! ”

Pepe smiled in the back: "George locked the front door alone. If we want to perform, we can only head the ball."

"Then you can come up. Pepe. Arsenal have a clear target and they want to take advantage of the yellow card pressure on George. Come and cause problems for our defense, don't give them a chance like this! They want to play, we play with them! ”

When Arteta says that, George

The command is over. Arteta noticed that Wood was looking at him, and smiled, "You used to protect me, but now it's my turn to protect you."

Thierry Henry's free-kick hit the wall and did not pose any threat to the Van der Sar Earth goal.

After that, it was clear that Arsenal had noticed the change in Nottingham's woodland, and they wanted to Tonwood, but they would always encounter people like Arteta, Franck Ribery, Pepe, in short, they couldn't let Wood face the opponent's firepower. Once again, Arsenal's attack is at a stalemate. Arsene Wenger's wishful thinking didn't kick off.

Don laughed when he saw this scene from the sidelines. This is his team, this time he is Nottingham Forest......

The time of the game went very fast in the entanglement of the two sides. While people were still immersed in the suspense of whether Arsenal would be able to equalise, no one noticed that there were only ten minutes left before the end of the game.

George Wood has rarely fouled as the rest of his teammates. Arsenal faced a hard-fought Forester team who were determined to defend the counterattack and had nothing too good to do. They can go back and forth on the periphery with their feet upside down. They played a beautiful pass and cut together, but Nottingham Forest were unmoved, they stayed in their position, did not go out, let Arsenal pass around outside, and then occasionally tried to shoot from distance.

Arsene Wenger opted to force the middle in order to allow Wood to be affected by the yellow card. But in football. It is not wise to attack the middle of the ground and will only block all your offensive routes. In this afternoon, Arsenal will lose this game even if they don't want to equalize.

Arsene Wenger knew it couldn't go on like this. It's a shame that I can't make a fuss about Wood's point. But now the pinching moment is the equaliser and everything has to change this badly. Get the game back on Arsenal's familiar track.

Arsene Wenger stood up and made a gesture to the pitch.

Donn replaced the mediocre Viduka. Replaced by Eastwood. Unlike the first round, this substitution was not meant to delay the match.

Because Arteta has to help Wood defend. So Forest's midfield is a bit out of control. Donn brought on Eastwood to regain control of the midfield, pushing Nicolas Anelka up front, while Eastwood was mainly responsible for tandem midfield.

No sooner had Eastwood been brought on than to regain control of the midfield before Forest were dealt a heavy blow.

Henry suddenly exerts force near the center circle. Cut off the earth at the feet of Ashley Young. Arsenal took advantage of the situation and played directly on the counter-attack in front. The Forest team was caught off guard and were very embarrassed in the face of Henry's breakthrough.

Arteta was not a specialist in protecting George Wood, and was easily swept over by Henry.

George Wood came from the side to tackle, this time with a slight flick of the ball to the side, then jumped up to avoid Wood's tackle from the side.

"Dodge beautifully! This is Henry's level! ”

Wood didn't give up. He got up from the ground and continued to chase after him.

Repeatedly because he was held back for nearly a game, the pent-up depression in Henry's chest exploded at this moment.

Before the game, news about his troubles with the club's contract extension was spread around the world by the media. Arsenal fans even doubted his loyalty. And he himself is tired of living in Arsenal. Pressed by Manchester United in the league and unable to win the Champions League...... Is it time to change places? But he is also captain of Arsenal. King of Highburyland. He's not saying that he can walk and win people.

He told his agent that he would wait for the Champions Cup to end before talking about the renewal of the contract. The results of the Champions Cup determine whether he stays or not......

This is Arsenal's best result. We reached the semi-finals for the first time and we can't stop there!

Thierry Henry took the ball to the limit as he raced towards the Nottingham Forest penalty area, with George Wood chasing after him and Pepe and Pi in front

Raise your foot and pretend to shoot, trick Piqui into losing his center of gravity and then pull the ball away, while at the same time firmly stuck Wood behind him and burst into the penalty area!

"Thierry Henry single-handedly passed the entire defence of Nottingham Forest! He went into the box and George Wood didn't dare to foul! ”

Pepe dodged from behind Piqui and blocked in front of Henry, who took advantage of a change of direction to easily deflect the angle of the shot before being interfered with by Wood. The French striker shoots with his feet!

The shot was so tricky that Van der Sar pounced on the far corner with all his might, but he didn't touch the ball and could only watch as the ball flew into the Earth Gate behind him......

"Oooo Thierry Henry! Wonderful goal!! When Arsenal couldn't open the situation for a long time, he single-handedly pulled the team back from the abyss of elimination! ”

No matter how exaggerated the commentator is to praise this goal, it is indeed a stunning goal.

Crossing four in a row is not a difficult task for Thierry Henry at Arsenal, but the fact that it took place at the most crucial moment in the Champions Cup semi-final is legendary.
