Downing, who had twice been bumped into by Wood, did not believe in evil, and the young man's competitive spirit was aroused. He didn't believe that he was going to do this man a third time today.

Another side break, Downing decided not to play any man-ball points, nor to make fancy moves, relying on his speed to eat this opponent raw. The last time he failed, he blamed it on the fact that the power was too small when he split the ball, and the speed of the football was too slow, so the opponent just turned around and just stuck in position.

This time...... I won't make any more mistakes!

"Downing breaks through with the ball, he's fast! It's amazing......" Gray was so mesmerized by the young man's performance that he almost ignored the other young man.

The opponent was going to break through with the ball, but Wood naturally wouldn't let him go, and he turned to follow.

Perhaps the thing Downing regretted the most in this game was that he did not study his opponent - George. Wood. But it doesn't matter, he is familiar with it after this game, and he knows what he should do after that: when he sees this silent half-breed again, he must break through on a different side.

Downing raised the speed again and again, he was in good shape, the football was at his feet, the distance was right, it felt like he was flying...... It's his favourite way to play. When I'm in the best form, I'm the only owner on the pitch, I'm flying and no one can stop me, no!

Suddenly, an afterimage appeared in the corner of his eye...... The feeling of oppression is surging!

Who's this? That stupid Thompson? Did I break through to the vicinity of the Forest's penalty area so quickly? Number 33 seems to have been dumped by me, that useless guy!

McLaren, who was on the sidelines, suddenly shouted, "Bastard! Pass! ”

Instead of playing on the field, he sensed the danger earlier than Downing.

The shadow flickered for a moment, and then vanished. Did I get Thompson over too? It's good to take advantage of the situation and enter the forbidden area!

As soon as Tang Ning was planning to do this, he suddenly felt unstable in his center of gravity...... George. Wood decided not to continue running with the guy, and the opponent's dribbling was always suitable, so he couldn't find a chance to get his feet. Now he seems to have the intention of changing the tempo, and the ball is a little more powerful at his feet, which is a sign of picking up speed again. But Wood wouldn't let him get his way.

When he was on the youth team, Donn told Wood that the best time to tackle is the moment the opponent kicks the ball off his body, and as long as he can catch it, even if you tackle it from the side, you won't foul because it's a clean and beautiful tackle!

Like a cheetah, Wood's body suddenly jumped forward, his center of gravity quickly sinking, and with the momentum of running at high speed, he turned around and shoveled the football in front of him and Downing. This is the perfect time...... Now is the time!

The foot hit the football, the football jumped, hit the facebone of Downing's raised right calf, and then changed direction and flew out of the sideline!

And Downing, who was defenseless and couldn't stop the car, tripped over Wood's body due to his habitual surname and fell headlong...... This is the third time he has fallen on his heels.

"Fucking foul again!!" The Middlesbrough fans roared in anger again.

"Breaking your fucking rules again!!" Nottingham Forest fans echoed them with the same words.

Even the commentator was on the side of the Forest team. "Nice tackle! Nice tackle! A perfect defense! Stuart. Downing planted three times in a row in George. At Wood's feet, he's really unlucky! ”

Falling to the ground in embarrassment, Downing turned to the referee for a foul and a sign, but the referee and the linesman made a unanimous decision, with hands and flags pointing to the Middlesbrough half - it was a throw-in from Forest!

The Middlesbrough fans in the stands booed in displeasure, but the loud voice was drowned out by louder singing as soon as it began.

"Poor McLaren, I picked the wrong opponent in the final! Poor Stuart. Downing, the race has chosen the wrong opponent! Wood! Wood! Woodwoodwood! Grow into a forest! Forest! Forest! Forest - Victory! Oh la la! Forest Forest! Let's go to Europe! ”

Fat John stood in the crowd and clapped himself with his hands like everyone around him, singing loudly in praise of the Forest and George. Wood. He wrote the song himself, originally just to encourage Donn's valued George at the youth team game. Wood sang it, and as Wood moved into the first team and played so well, they moved the song to the City Stadium and it went viral as soon as it started. Now they've sung it at the Millennium Stadium, and the whole of England will hear them on live TV, and they'll know the name of the man in the song.

Ladies and gentlemen, remember, his name is George. Wood, he'll be the king of the forest!

Wood's tackle was so beautiful that Mortenson, who was sitting at home, jumped up from the couch. Not to mention the fans who watched the game at the scene, countless people gave applause to this young player wearing No. 33, which made Juninho and Downing follow him successively.

Gareth in the stands. While clapping vigorously, Bell turned his head and excitedly asked his father, "Dad!" Can I be like him? Receiving everyone's cheers and applause here? "Wood was moved from the youth team to the first team, and he played well right away and then signed a first-team contract. He was naturally replaced by Gareth, who also played in the youth team. Bell was seen as an idol and a goal to strive for.

His dad smiled and said to him, "Of course! My son is a genius! ”

※※※ Three consecutive defeats against Wood have dealt a big blow to Downing's confidence, and it may take some time to undo it. He always thought he was the best, and now he couldn't break through that taciturn 33.

He was suddenly a little scared to go one-on-one with that guy, and when a teammate passed the ball to him, he was always quick to pass it again.

McLaren, who was off the court, noticed this, and he sighed. Then he called out Downing's name and made a "cross-transposition" gesture to him. It was his plan to switch places with Mendieta on the other side, and use the experienced Spaniards against the hairy boy. Since Tang Ning is destined to no longer be able to make a difference here, let him change places and make a breakthrough. No big deal. The victory or defeat of this game depends on the performance of this kid...... Donn noticed McLaren's movements on the sidelines, and Downing went to the other side.

Scared? Very good!

"Joe-Ji!" Taking a deep breath, Don also called out Wood's name. When Wood turned his head to look at him, he reached out and pointed in Downing's direction, then nodded harder.

Wood understood what Donn meant, and turned around to switch places with Commons.

When Downing found that the person in front of him was still the pesky No. 33, he even glanced helplessly to the sidelines, hoping that McLaren would give the latest instructions...... Do you want to change it back?

McLaren was completely out of line. The other side obviously wants to completely freeze the most active person on the team, no matter what position you ask him to play, believe that George. Wood will not leave an inch.

Damn it!

McLaren was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

What else could he do? can only wait quietly for the other party to be unable to bear the pressure and the moment of his own collapse will come early.

Will Don let him get his wish?

George. Wood's outstanding performance just now boosted the confidence and morale of his teammates. Wood used his actions to tell his teammates who had been exhausted by Downing's breakthrough that they could hold off the opponent's flood of attacks. Isn't Wood a living role model?

This match, which is getting back into Donn's tracks, is slowly sliding towards the result he wants to see......
