Not everyone will be in the stands and waiting for the game to start before the game starts.

When the referee blew the kick-off whistle, there were still people in the stands who were coming in one after another to find their seats.

As the men looked down in the rain for the seat number on their tickets, they heard a deafening cheer ringing in their ears. It felt like a tsunami was coming, and it was like an earthquake under my feet, and I couldn't even stand still.

"Boom ——!!"

These people raised their heads blankly, looked at the crowd around them who jumped up and raised their arms, and then looked at the field.

What do they see?

The players on the side in the red jerseys are running with excitement!

A voice rang out over the live radio that suppressed the cheers: "1:0, Nottingham Forest leads!" Goalscorer Aaron. Mitchel! ”

These people didn't react until now - just when they were busy looking for a seat, Nottingham Forest had already scored!

"It's so fast! The TV broadcasts didn't keep up...... We can only look at the replay. After kick-off, Shaheen passed the ball back to George. Wood, Wood splits the ball to the wing...... Fernandez continued to cut forward after a one-two with Gago, and Gago's overhead pass was quite beautiful and accurate! Fernandez received the ball...... He crosses directly! Aron. Mitchel's Rush! The ball is in - the ball is in!! It only takes 20 seconds! It was the record for the fastest goal in an FA Cup final and the fastest goal in a cup final at Wembley!! ”

The narrator roared excitedly.

In the rain, Don also waved his fists and celebrated the goal with those around him.

In the dressing room, he told his players to try to score first, and that an early goal as soon as possible could drag the game into their tracks, but he didn't expect the team to give him such a big surprise - he scored in the first 20 seconds.

"Whatever the final result of this game is, Nottingham Forest and Aaron. Mitchel have left their name in FA Cup history with this goal! ”

After the goal, Mitchel ran wildly in the rain to the stands where the Forest was congregated with fans, below whom he waved his arms to signal the fans to shout louder, louder. He loved to hear cheers like that.

The Forest team scored so early, it was indeed something that Tottenham did not expect, the game had just started, and their defence had not even had time to organize, and the Forest team took advantage of such a small time difference to catch Tottenham off guard.

Harry. Redknapp's face was darker than the London sky right now, and he stood on the sidelines and had nothing to say about such a goal.

He thought that after continuous high-intensity battles, the Forest team would adopt the strategy of slowing down first and attracting the opponent to attack and then play defensive counterattacks in this game.

Didn't expect Tony. Donn's team's opening offense was so resolute that it was completely unexpected.

There was certainly an element of luck in scoring so early. But at this time, what's the point of saying that the other party is walking shit luck?

What is behind is backward, and what is leading is leading, this is the truth. There are some very subtle changes to the game as a result.

Against Donn's team, the most feared thing is to put them ahead, and the next game for the Forest team can both continue to attack and play defensive counter-attacks, no matter what they do, it will be a torture for their opponents.

How will Tottenham respond?

Attack out?

Redknapp isn't that stupid. To press out and attack is to open the door to welcome Forest to score a few more goals. He decided to defend solidly first, anyway, the disadvantage of a goal behind is nothing, as long as there is a chance not to worry about a draw.

The first is to stabilize the mentality of the players, not to panic, not to let the Forest team take this opportunity to score another goal, two goals behind then this game will be difficult to play.

He stood on the sidelines and kept yelling into the pitch while gesturing to calm the players.

※※※

Seventeen minutes later, Tottenham equalised from a corner. The man who scored the goal was Michael. Dawson. In the face of his former club, he was ruthless. The header was so accurate and so hard that Akinfeev didn't even react as the crowd watched the ball go in. The splashes of water even blinded some people's eyes.

Tottenham's equaliser was a thrill for Tottenham fans. They had been worried that the title would be given to Forest when they were behind and now it looks like Tottenham don't want to give it up.

After Tottenham's goal, Donn didn't mean to defend first, but urged the two full-backs on the sidelines to continue to attack.

Redknapp also saw what Donn meant, if the Forest team wants to attack, there will inevitably be openings in the back, so Tottenham also have to attack, how can you seize these openings if you don't attack?

An all-time highlight of the FA Cup final kicked off.

In the 39th minute, Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of Forest's right wing-back Raphinha's opportunity to press the assist and failed to return in time to play a fast attack. Pavlyuchenko made a feint when he faced Akinfeev one-on-one, and Akinfeev slipped on his feet, lost his center of gravity, and also lost the best chance to save the ball. Pavlyuchenko easily flicked past Akinfeev to send the ball into the empty net.

Tottenham Hotspur overtook 2:1!

There were cheers from the stands from the Tottenham fans, who had no idea that Spurs would be able to overtake in the first half when Forest opened the scoring game.

But their cheering lasted only two minutes. On 42 minutes, Mitchel used his skills to face three Tottenham defenders in front of him, only to be brought to the ground by Dawson, and the referee awarded Forest a direct free-kick up front.

Bale stood in front of the ball and the Forest fans began singing "The Bell Song".

The ball was about 28 meters away from the goal, and the wall was very tight. As a team in the Premier League, everyone knows Gareth. The power of Bale's free-kick.

George. Wood and Gago, who squeezed into the wall and stood in the near corner of the goal. It looks like Bale will shoot the ball from this angle towards the goal in a moment. So Tottenham's wall desperately leaned towards the near corner, trying to squeeze the two Foresters out.

After the referee's whistle, Wood and Gago's departure were filled, and the space they left was filled by Tottenham's wall in an instant...... But no one expected that Bale did not shoot the football at this angle, but shot it in the opposite place, bypassing the other end of the wall and flying directly to the far corner of the goal!

This was clearly one of the free-kick tactics that had been practiced countless times before the game.

Goalkeeper Gomes was deceived by the wall and the Forest's tactics, and when Bale took the free-kick, he was even shifting his weight to the near corner. When the soccer ball flew from the other end of the wall, there was nothing he could do but watch it fly into the far corner of the goal!

“2：2！！ Before the first half was over, the two sides had already scored a total of four goals! What a great first half! ”

Tottenham fans were dumbfounded, and this time it was Forest's turn to sing in the rain.

Of course, there are Forest fans who find it strange, Tony. Donn has always been conservative in important matches, so why did he suddenly play against his opponent in this match? They were worried that if they continued to attack like this, the Forest team would lose.

In fact, Donn's idea is very simple, he intends to use this game to test the team's attacking power first. Playing a team like Real Madrid, you can't just defend.

At the end of the first half, the two sides played to a 2-2 draw. The pace of the game was fast from start to finish, which made the fans addicted to watching.

Such a wonderful game appeared in the FA Cup final, which many people did not expect. Today's football is becoming more and more utilitarian, as long as it is a final, it must be dull. Nottingham Forest takes it to the extreme.

Unexpectedly, Don En suddenly changed his face, so that everyone couldn't get used to it.

Is he going to hold high the banner of attacking football in this game and play against Tottenham Hotspur?

Redknapp must have thought so, as he told his players at the break to continue to step up their attack in the second half and take advantage of the gaps left by the Forest to press the attack.

But at the same time, in the dressing room of Nottingham Forest, Donn said to his men with a smile: "In the second half, we played defensive counter-attacks. ”

※※※

The situation changed in the second half, which also caught Redknapp by surprise.

His team pressed out to attack, but he soon found that Nottingham Forest did not press out as well, but shrunk the defensive line and put on a defensive counter-attacking posture......

The narrator was disappointed with the change and began to hack Don again: "Tony. Don must have been scared, afraid that the team and Tottenham would continue to play against each other, continue to concede goals and affect morale, or simply lose the game. I don't think he can afford to fail. So he chose to keep the team more conservative...... It's a shame that this final was only good in the first half......"

Redknapp is not a fool, seeing Donn shrink the defensive line, he knows that he is going to defend and counterattack, if he still presses out, it is looking for death.

So he also recycled.

No wonder the commentator lamented that the first half was even better.

After twenty minutes of suffocating battles, Redknapp finally couldn't stand it anymore and pressed out first.

They bombarded the Forest goal for ten minutes to no avail, and the Forest team retreated like turtles.

Just when Tottenham was about to take a breath, the dagger hidden in their hands suddenly stabbed out!

Akinfeev didn't kick the ball off with a big kick, but threw the ball with his hands to attack, which was a purposeful counterattack.

Gago's long pass to the side after receiving the ball. Mock quickly cut in to catch the ball, and instead of continuing to dribble forward, he opted for a long diagonal pass after taking a look at the situation in front of him and passing the ball to the edge of the box.

Mitchel strode after him with long legs, and the person who followed him was Michael. Dawson!

Mock passes a boccia ball that rolls quickly on slippery turf. Mitchel isn't very fast, but it's okay compared to a centre-back, and his legs are long, which is a useful advantage. For example, now......

Mock's pass is a bit far forward, and it's hard to catch, let alone control, the ball like that.

But Mitchel didn't want to control it at all!

When the football reached the top of the arc, the two-meter-two-meter Mitchel suddenly flew out and shoveled towards the football!

Michael. Dawson didn't expect the big man to tackle outside the box! He was stunned for a moment, and just lost his target.

Gomez, who was originally planning to attack, but later found out that Dawson was following the target and chose to retreat, apparently did not expect Mitchel to choose to tackle directly outside the box......

What does he do in tackles? He's not a defender!

The next second, the football told him what Mitchel was going to do.

Mitchel managed to tackle the football, and the ball changed direction and flew straight to the goal!

As mentioned earlier, on slippery turf, the ball rolls very fast. Gomez didn't expect Mitchel to shoot straight at goal...... Shoot directly from outside the box!

Gomez couldn't make a save and the ball slipped past his fingertips! Rubbing the turf and rolling towards the goal......

Dawson rounded Gomez and raced towards the ball with the intention of clearing the ball.

He was a step late and kicked the ball into the air, the ball darting past his feet. Hit the post and deflected wide of the goal.

“3：2！ Mitchel scores twice! ”

Mitchel became a hero for Nottingham Forest fans, and he threw his hands up to thank God for giving him the opportunity to score two goals in the FA Cup!

The dreams of my childhood are becoming true one by one.

The Nottingham Forest players were so excited that they surrounded Mitchel and patted him on the head and shoulder.

They are aiming for a treble this season, with the league title already in place and now leading Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 in the FA Cup final. Winning two titles will certainly boost their morale and confidence.

However, Donn was only excited for a while, and then shouted loudly on the sidelines again to remind the team to pay attention and step up the attack. Is it safe to have a one-goal lead......

Redknapp also knew Donn would do the same, and while Forest were looking for the goal, he waved his hand wide – and Tottenham continued to attack. It's time to score before Forest's goal!

He almost succeeded.

Modric's long-range shot bypassed Akinfeev's 10-finger pass, but hit the crossbar and flew straight off the line.

Shocked the Forest fans in a cold sweat.

The heavier the rain falls.

Don, on the other hand, completely ignored his wife's pre-match advice, and stood straight on the sidelines, letting the rain fall from his head, and had no intention of retreating. He's motivating the team in this way.

His players are playing in the rain, and he, as a coach, has to accompany them in the rain.

After more than 20 minutes of silence, the two sides launched a fierce attack again, and the game became white-hot.

However, due to the constraints of the weather, the excitement of the game between the two sides was greatly reduced. Active errors began to increase as the physical strength decreased, and the rest of the game was simply miserable.

But Donn and Redknapp are still very focused, they don't look at the scene, they look at something deeper. Everyone is making mistakes, and it's up to them to catch each other's mistakes first.

In the 81st minute, Nottingham Forest took the lead in taking advantage of Tottenham's mistake, and striker Abang Lajola, who came on as a substitute Mitchel, assisted on the wing, and Shaheen followed up with a sweeping shot in the middle.

The goal essentially condemned Tottenham to death.

Tottenham then struggled for a while, but still failed to find the back of the Woods goal. Because Nottingham Forest began to shamelessly defend across the board after taking a two-goal lead, leaving no chance for Redknapp's side.

From stoppage time, Forest fans were singing and dancing in the rain stands. They sang Queen's "We Are the Champions" and announced their victory in advance.

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the fans' singing turned into thunderous cheers.

Forest's substitutes rushed onto the pitch under Donn's leadership and mingled with the players on the pitch.

"Congratulations Tony. Dawn! He finally won the FA Cup for the first time in his coaching career! In all the competitions he has participated in, except for the UEFA Cup, he has won everything he can win! This is truly a historical moment! England's most successful manager of the last decade has engraved his name on England's oldest trophy! He and his team are making new history! ”

Don was surrounded by the players, and once again raised his shoulders and lifted up to parade.

He stretched out his arms and pointed to the sky - there was one last champion left!

The day after the game, some media used his action as a photo of the title picture, with the text as:

Nottingham Forest is on the verge of European champions!
