Volume 3 Red Forest Chapter 84 Bright Red (I)

(Apology Announcement: Due to my mistake, when writing the latest episode, I forgot that George Wood was suspended for European competitions last season.) Although the foul game is the UEFA Cup, this suspension is a suspension for all club competitions in Europe, so although Wood does not play in the UEFA Cup this season, the suspension is automatically added to the Champions League. It stands to reason that Wood was not eligible to play in this qualifying match, but due to my negligence, Wood had already played with the captain's armband and let go of Riquelme. When I saw the reminder from the book friend, this chapter had already been completed and handed over to the editor in charge of the update, and it was basically impossible to change it, so I could only make a mistake and let Wood continue to play the two qualifiers. Then the three-match ban starts with the group stage. We ask for your understanding, but if you have any doubts when you see Wood playing, please follow this explanation......

Lin Hai listened to the waves. ）

The competition was intense. Nottingham Forest are looking forward to the new season, but why not Villarreal?

The two sides went back and forth on the pitch, and the transition between attack and defense was very fast.

The audience looked very enjoyable.

But in fact, Pellegrini secretly complained in his heart.

The Spanish team is very uncomfortable with the current speed of attacking and defending, not to mention Villarreal with Riquelme, Riquelme's "slowness" is world-famous.

He knew it must have been deliberately arranged by the young manager of the opposing side. The Premier League is the fastest league in the world, and Premier League teams are all too familiar with how to tear down opponents' defences with a fast attacking and defensive tempo.

Nottingham Forest will want to establish a home advantage.

Manuel Pellegrini paced back and forth on the sidelines. Anxiously staring at the field. He wanted to tell the team not to follow the rhythm of the opposition, but he couldn't do it on the sidelines. The deafening cheers of the city stadium completely drowned out everything he was making.

The yellow submarine players have been led by the nose by Nottingham Forest without even realizing it.

Riquelme will also want to regain control of the tempo and get the game back on his familiar track. But he was killed by George #8226; Wood is a little self-sufficient, how can he lead the team?

He had to admit that the kid behind him was much better than half a season ago. He may not be able to easily break the ball at his feet, but he can make himself unable to comfortably send the ball to where he wants to go, and he can't break through with the ball unimpeded. There is no way to make Villarreal's offensive line clear.

Isn't that what defense is all about?

Don looked at Chris Lak next to him and smiled: "It seems that the captain's armband has given him a lot of motivation. ”

※※※

Donn was right. Wearing the captain's armband really made Wood feel different, as long as he ran and waved his arm, the corner of his eye would always glance at the armband on his left arm, reminding him that he was now the captain of the team. What does captain mean?

Just like Demy, at all times. In any case, you have to work harder than others, even harder than you used to.

Now Wood doesn't know how to lead a team, he doesn't know how to lead this team to victory. All he can do is help the team with concrete actions – he used to run 15,000 metres in a race, but he ran 20,000 metres in this race.

Wood's soccer is very simple, measuring the distance he has run to see if he is doing his best.

The captain's armband on his left arm reminded him repeatedly every time it appeared in the corner of his eye:

This is Demi wearing the ground, you can't disgrace Demy. Demi can't be disappointed.

In pre-match training, Donn repeatedly told Wood not to take his foot lightly against Riquelme, either you promise to break the ball with one kick, or you keep pressing him, constantly interfering with him and harassing him. Cornering him into a corner, he was encircled.

There are only two options.

Wood took the latter, and when Riquelme wasn't on the ball, he was just five metres away from the Argentinian. As soon as the ball was passed to Riquelme, he pounced. When the opponent gets the ball, he must have formed a close defensive posture.

Wood's advantage is that he has more speed than most defenders Riquelme has encountered, giving Riquelme no chance to get away early. After more than two years of racing experience, Wood now knows how to keep a reasonable distance.

Riquelme has a technical advantage, Georges ※ #8226; Wood, on the other hand, has a physical advantage. The two sides were evenly matched in midfield.

The commentator was surprised by this, he had not thought before the game that Riquelme would be treated by George*#8226; Wood froze.

"It's unbelievable...... A midfield talent in Argentine football. Caught in George ※ #8226; Wood's defensive quagmire. Villarreal's offensive is at a stalemate at the same time! ”

As if in response to the narrator's questions and surprises. There was a huge singing in the stands, which was sung to their new captain George※#8226; Wood's.

As long as Wood managed to defend Riquelme every time. There was a cheer from the stands, which invisibly caused huge psychological pressure on the Villarreal players. In Spain, you don't see such a crazy stadium environment. England's football hooligans are world-famous, and so are England's die-hard fans.

The more than 1,000 Spanish fans who followed the yellow submarine in this game did not dare to speak out in the huge home stadium - in fact, even if they did, they would not be able to hear it. From the very beginning of the game, the entire city stadium was surrounded by a frenzied hustle and bustle.

Spanish football traditions are not the same as those in England, and in La Liga, away games are rarely followed by away fans, and not many people go to them, who value their home stadium more. But Villarreal's home stadium, the Love Song Stadium, can only accommodate 17,000 people, 10,000 fewer than Forest's city stadium.

When it comes to the atmosphere in the stadium, Spanish fans can't compare to the English.

In the face of the frenzied offensive of the English fans, these poor Spanish fans were helpless. Just like the team they support now......

While Wood struggled to entangle Riquelme, Forest's attack was not idle. The situation on the pitch is one or the other, and Villarreal are not threatening the Forest penalty area, so it will be Forest's turn to cause problems for their opponents.

Frank ※ #8226; Franck Ribery continued his excellent form from last season and faithfully executed Donne's tactics – frantically assisting, plugging in, plugging in and out on the left flank. One man pinned down two Villarreal players.

On the other side, Ashley ※ #8226; Yang is also not willing to be reluctant, although he is not like Ribery who can contain the two at the same time, but it also makes Sorin quite jealous, and he is not as active in inserting assists as before.

This, combined with Arteta's play-making in the middle, allowed the Forest midfield to move with ease. The four have a clear division of work, each with their own responsibilities and coordination with each other, allowing the Forest midfield to form a strong unit, rather than working in isolation. That's what Donn wants to see the most.

Unlike strikers like Nicolas Anelka, Viduka and Bendtner need more support from midfield. Only if the midfielders can deliver cannonballs will they have a chance to score.

Now, in the battle of midfield, Nottingham Forest won against Villarreal, so it is only a matter of time before the striker breaks out。。。。。。。
