Volume 6 Crimson Chapter 110 Crazy Injury Time

The equaliser from the penalty spot by Manchester United made Donn furious. No matter how clever a manager is, he can't control the various set-pieces that appear in the game. At best, he reminded the players to try to avoid fouls in the danger zone. But football matches can't just rely on the deployment made before the game to go smoothly, there will always be all kinds of accidents. For example, Manchester United's penalty kick from this quick free-kick.

To be fair, if Donn had been the TV commentator at the moment, he would have applauded United's sudden change. This is a full reflection of the cunning and cleverness of Manchester United and Ferguson. But now that he is in the position of an opponent, he can only mumble and scold his mother.

At the end of the day, it's down to the Nottingham Forest players who made their own mistakes. If it weren't for the players who collectively relaxed their vigilance and didn't concentrate enough at this moment, how could Ronaldo catch such an opportunity? You must know that from the time Ronaldo received the ball to the time when he broke into the box and caused Pepe to foul, there were five seconds for the Forest players to react and be stunned.

If this was a basketball game, Don would have called a timeout right away, then pulled all the players to his side and scolded them mercilessly one by one, scolding them to the blood. Let them no longer dare to wander collectively during the game.

From this point of view, Donn really likes the timeout rule in basketball. He will have seven chances per game to change his squad or give them a head start by slamming out his players for their poor performances in previous games.

It's a pity that that will greatly reduce the excitement and smoothness of the football game, so he can only think about it in his heart.

Now he roared angrily into the arena from the sidelines, waving his arms and expressing his displeasure. As for how many of the players heard and saw it, and how many people got into their hearts, he couldn't control it.

"Alright, guys! Now the score has been equalized again! Give me all the attention! You don't have the right to wander anymore! ”

※※※

Ferguson was pleased with the goal, although after the game Donne would have said that United were being looked after by the referee and the FA, and that Nottingham Forest had become the target of public criticism. But you always have to allow the loser to find a step down the ladder, don't you?

The important thing was that the score was equalised and the game was back on track. Nottingham Forest's morale has been affected and the victory is sure to belong to Manchester United.

All he needs to do now is to keep the team motivated, keep the pressure on, and take advantage of the Nottingham Forest players' nervous turmoil during this time to try to score another goal and completely crush the fighting spirit of the Forest team.

He had a good idea, but unfortunately the reality was not.

※※※

Nottingham Forest weren't flustered by a goal conceded. While United stepped up their attack, Forest quickly organised their defence. A striker like Tevez has no chance to be marked. He could only pull out of the box and try to shoot from distance. Kick after kick squandering the opportunities created for him by his teammates.

Ferguson shook his head vigorously as he watched from the sidelines. In the end, he finally couldn't take it anymore and used Tevez for Paul in the 70th minute. Scholes replaces. Although a midfielder was used to replace a striker, in fact, Manchester United's attacking strength has not weakened, and has even been enhanced. If Tevez is going to do the work in midfield, wouldn't it be better to do it with a real midfielder?

Don't underestimate the thirty-six-year-old Scholes. His good work ethic and habits have kept him in excellent form to this day, and he never disappoints Ferguson when the team needs him.

He added to the playmaking and goalscoring ability in midfield. Of course, Scholes will also have to face a formidable opponent when he goes up - George. Wood. Done won't tolerate such a number one outside his penalty area, and Wood will definitely be keeping an eye on Scholes. In that case, it will give other United players opportunities.

Sure enough, after Scholes came on, Wood posted it as if he had automatically gotten the signal.

Scholes couldn't get rid of the man vertically, so he had to shake the angle sideways and pass the ball out. It was only after Wood was drawn elsewhere that he had a chance to land a dangerous long-range shot.

Akinfeev played brilliantly as he saved Scholes' shot.

Scholes came on to change the balance of midfield between the two sides, and the numerically dominant United began to continue to attack Nottingham Forest's goal, and Shaheen's defensive problems were exposed. He was also completely inferior in physical collisions with Hargreaves and Carrick.

Although Done still insisted on attacking at Old Trafford, keeping Shaheen on the pitch would not change the situation. He also needs to make adjustments.

In the 75th minute, he replaced Shaheen with Thiago.

"Is the two-back configuration a signal to defend?" The narrator said, "Maybe Tony. Donn feels content to pick up a point at Old Trafford. After all, it's away from home, and against Manchester United......"

The narrator was already looking for a step for Donn's failure, but Donn didn't feel like he was going down the staircase. He had to go against the others, he had to swim against the current.

The double back is actually the basis of the attack. In Donn's tactical thinking, all offense comes from defense. Only when the defense is good will the offense improve. Therefore, if he strengthens the attack, he will definitely not simply replace a striker and remove a defender.

The midfield was set up with two midfielders to contain United's midfield attack and regain the midfield. Then launch an attack from here and smash the Yellow Dragon.

If the midfielder can't take it down, he can only rely on the defender's direct long pass to find the striker to attack. Opposing defenders love this kind of attack because they defend effortlessly.

Both Wood and Thiago have the ability to pass forwards while also defending. Thiago immediately changed Forest's disadvantage in midfield, with neither Wood nor Thiago afraid of a physical confrontation with Hargreaves and Carrick, while they were able to separate a man to look after Scholes.

This substitution of the coaches of both sides was a draw. In the end, the game was in a stalemate, and no one had a better chance to score.

※※※

"I think Ronaldo should step up and play his role as a superstar. It is now clear that United's attack is in a quagmire, and that teamwork is no longer able to tear apart Nottingham Forest's defence, and individual technique is more effective than passing the ball at such times. He should try more breakthroughs. ”

The commentator gives Manchester United ideas.

Except for that penalty in the whole game, Ronaldo's performance was indeed a bit sluggish. Especially after he was stepped on by Pepe's ankle, which almost disappeared at one point. Maybe it's because there's an injury there, which affects the state?

But at this time, he does need to stand up and show his ability.

Ronaldo was also always looking for another opportunity to break into the box, and on a couple of occasions when Forest attacked, he did not return to defend and stayed up front waiting for Manchester United to counter-attack.

In the seventy-ninth minute, he waited for such an opportunity. Vidic intercepted Thiago's pass to Ruud van Nistelrooy and then passed it to Scholes. The ginger head is passed to Ronaldo again, and Manchester United launches a counterattack!

George. Wood didn't step up to get involved in the attack, he stayed at the back and was ready to defend. So when Ronaldo received the ball, he followed. After a few steps he started to speed up because Ronaldo was also accelerating.

Ronaldo had been dribbling the ball down the flank, with only Pepe and Woodgate and Akinfeev in front of him in front of the fans, and when he was five or six metres from the penalty area, he suddenly cut inside.

It was at this time that two bullet trains, which were supposed to be traveling at high speed on different tracks, met.

Wood spotted Ronaldo's cut and slid over and shoveled him out with the ball!

The Old Trafford stadium was met with a huge boo, deafening and almost cardiac arrest.

"It's a foul!!" The narrator screamed.

He's talking nonsense, which of course is a foul. The referee blew the whistle and Ronaldo curled up to the side with his feet covered, looking like he had been injured – the one that had been tackled by Wood was the one Pepe had stepped on.

Wood didn't step up and give Ronaldo a friendly pat, reassure him, and justify his actions. He got up from the ground and didn't even look at poor Ronaldo.

In his mind, it was a necessary foul, and it was better to foul on the wing than in the middle. It's better to foul outside the box than inside the box. He didn't feel like he was doing anything wrong. As for the tackle on Ronaldo? He didn't want to do it himself, it was just a side effect......

The referee didn't care what he thought, called him over and pulled out a yellow card from his pocket!

※※※

Tony off the field. Don let out a sigh of relief. From the moment Wood fouled on, listening to the deafening boos from the scene, he thought Wood would be sent off. Now it seems, Wood is in good luck!

"Hah! Well done! Relaxed, Donn applauded Wood.

This time, it was Ferguson's turn to go on a thunderous outbreak.

He rushed to the sidelines, grabbed the fourth official, and pointed to everything that happened in the field to perform his "hair dryer" magic skill: "Only such a foul will give a yellow card?!" What kind of foul does it take to get a red card? Kick my player's leg or break his heart! This sentence is so fucking clumsy! ”

"Sir Alex Ferguson, watch your words...... "The fourth official was a little helpless, he was the fourth official of this game, and he was really moldy for eight lifetimes. On the left and right are hot-tempered head coaches, old and young, who are sandwiched in the middle and become the sausage in the hot dog.

"My player is injured! He was lying on the ground moaning, and you made me pay attention to the words? I want you to pay attention to law enforcement standards! This foul is absolutely, definitely a red card! It's good now, Tony after the game. That Donn guy won't say the FA is biased towards us Manchester United anymore! Now it's my turn! ”

The fourth official decided not to talk back, but just recorded the performance of the two managers in this game in the game report, and submitted it to the FA, so that they could be the bad guys......

After Ferguson scolded bitterly, his blood swelled up, and his face became even more ruddy. He gasped and walked back to the dugout, ready to call Nani to warm up.

Ronaldo looked badly injured and spent up to four minutes lying on the pitch for treatment. The Manchester United fans who cursed wildly at Wood and Nottingham Forest from the stands believed Ronaldo had broken his leg by Wood.

The foul was visually horrific – Ronaldo flew into the air, rolled for half a week, and then fell face down to the ground. George. Wood's tackle was like a high-speed bulldozer, cutting down Ronaldo's big tree to the roots.

"Let's not talk about Tony yet. Whether Done has a chance to coach Manchester United. I think George anyway. Wood has no hope of playing for Manchester United in his life...... How many times has he seriously assaulted a Manchester United player in Forest's game against Manchester United? This time he was lucky enough to escape the referee's red card, but he couldn't escape the hatred of the United fans. Listen to this boo, it can almost kill a person! ”

The television broadcast gave Wood a close-up, and he kept his face unmoved.

※※※

The injured Ronaldo was eventually replaced by Park Ji-sung. Although he still limped to his feet in the end, Ferguson did not let him continue to play for protection purposes. Anyone who likes to dribble the ball will be treated like this by the opposing defenders. It's not the first time Ronaldo has been kicked like this, and it's good luck that he has been able to keep playing until today......

But in Ronaldo's heart, he was very kind to George. Wood probably didn't like it at all.

Cesc Fabregas and Kaka will also see Wood as an opponent to be taken seriously or hopefully team-mates. Cristiano. Ronaldo was eager for George. Wood the man disappeared from the face of the earth.

After Ronaldo's departure, the game resumed after a six-minute hiatus. The fans booed not stopping, as long as George. When Wood got the ball, it was a violent boo that came at him. Luckily, he played in the middle, and if he had played on the wing, he might have been booed with all sorts of debris thrown down......

Nani used to be known as the second Cristiano. Ronaldo, who is somewhat similar to Ronaldo in his finishing characteristics. However, there is a big difference in overall strength and experience. He went on the pitch and worked very hard to prove that he could be a hero who helped the team win against tough opponents. Unfortunately, Thiago and the Forest defenders kept him in the spotlight and he didn't get much of a chance.

Nani was replaced there, and Donn was replaced by Ibisevic for the exhausted Van Nistelrooy. He has scored nine league goals so far this season, three in the Carabao Cup and Champions Cup combined, and has scored 12 goals so far. Now everyone is generally not optimistic about Karl. Spike will be able to win the bet unless Ibisevic suddenly suffers a serious injury in the second half of the season and misses all the remaining games. Otherwise, with his momentum, the goals would have continued.

Donn brought him on at the end of the pitch in the hope of using him to challenge the Reds defence and create some chances.

But Vidic and Leo. Rio Ferdinand's defence was quite solid, with Ibisevic having few chances under the sandwich of two men.

The game continued to be deadlocked, and in the ensuing games, both sides were given a number of chances, but neither took them. Ibisevic had a close-range stab that slid wide. Berbatov also had a cold shot that caused chaos in the Forest box after Akinfeev saved the ball and got rid of it, and it was George in the end. Wood scrambled in front of Rooney and kicked the ball out. Of course, his clearance was met with boos from the United fans who thought he had handballed before he cleared the ball......

In the 88th minute of the game, the score was still 1:1. But no one knows if the score will be maintained until the end. Because from the 85th minute, the two sides tacitly gave up the defense, you played very openly, offensive opportunities emerged endlessly, and active mistakes continued to rise.

Obviously, neither side wants the game to end in a draw.

The two managers stood on the sidelines, nervously watching every change in the pitch, expecting their own side to break the deadlock.

'I know they don't want a draw, but I would say that the harsh reality tells them that it's a big possibility – the fourth official on the sidelines held up a sign for stoppage time, stoppage time...... Six minutes! It's long enough, but it's normal for Ronaldo to be injured and delayed......"

If it was a normal time, the six-minute stoppage time would have made Donn furious on the sidelines, thinking that the referee was too naked in favor of the home team. But now he wished he had six more minutes. He slapped his hands on the sidelines, reminding his players to keep attacking.

※※※

Ninety-second minute. Forest's attack was conceded by Abang Lajo and United immediately counter-attacked, very fast.

Three passes and two downs brought the football to the front. Wayne Rooney struck Barnes with speed on the flank and then played the ball into the middle of the box. Pepe's header was unexpectedly overheaded, which neither Woodgate nor Akinfeev next to him expected, so much so that when Berbatov stopped the ball with his chest, Woodgate had not had time to react.

The United-£30 million goalscorer didn't shoot straight at goal, but stopped the ball with his chest and then slotted it out of reach with a clever push......

"The ball is in! The ball is in!! The narrator yelled frantically. 2:1! Manchester United lead! ”

The United fans in attendance also went into a collective frenzy, flocking to the front row of the stands, waving their arms and shouting Berbatov's name.

The United players ran to him no matter how far they went, opening their arms to hug him.

Ferguson even jumped on the sidelines, happy like a kid who had gotten candy. The bench behind him was already hugged.

"Ninety-two minutes of goals! It's the final kill! The final lore! It's amazing! Manchester United ended up coming back from one goal down to Nottingham Forest! Dimitar Berbatov's goal kicked Forest into the abyss! Pepe made an unforgivable mistake and in the box he actually rose to the top! I don't know what he thought at that moment! ”

※※※

Instead of holding his head in his hands like Pepe did off the field, Don waved his arms and yelled at the players inside on the sidelines: "Put the football in the center circle!" There's still time! There's still time! Don't give the! ”

In such a noisy environment, how could anyone still hear his voice. But as the captain of the Forest team, George. Wood did go with him, picking up the ball from the net and running to the center circle. Manchester United's players were still celebrating as he pressed his football to the tee point in the centre circle. After doing all this, he turned around and slapped his somewhat dejected teammates and yelled, "It's not over yet!" It's not over yet! ”

He then ran to the referee and reminded him that Manchester United had been celebrating for a long time.

The referee looked at the watch, and it was indeed a bit excessive. But with three minutes left, do you still want to equalise? It's just delusional......

Despite this, the referee went to his duty. He ran over to pull the United players back to the pitch and motioned for them to continue playing. After all, the game is not over yet.

Every Manchester United player who returned to their place had an unconcealed smile of excitement on their faces, and they were very satisfied and happy with the last-minute win over Nottingham Forest. There will never be a cooler time again. If you shovel our wounds, we will make you lose the price!

Goalkeeper Ben. Foster even turned around and made a scendiary gesture to the fans in the stands, motioning for them to sing louder.

As soon as the kick-off was kick-off, the Forest team launched an attack with a long pass. Such a hurried attack was naturally easily intercepted by Manchester United's players, and then played Forest's counterattack.

"Without Shaheen, the Forest team can only rely on such long passes to attack, simple and rude. For United's two tall centre-backs, it didn't work at all. Eastwood is also not a striker who is good at headers, and Ibisevic doesn't seem to be in game shape yet......

The narrator felt that the Forest were just in their death throes.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had been replaced, wore a team coat and stood on the sidelines with Donn, staring anxiously at the pitch. He didn't want the game to end like that. Although he used to play for Manchester United, now he is a Forest player and he is desperate to beat Manchester United and beat Alex Ferguson.

"Come on! Steady! Don't panic! He shouted off the pitch like a coach to cheer his teammates on.

The ninety-third minute passed in a frenzied celebration by the Manchester United people, who took a full minute. There will be no last-minute stoppage time on this minute. There will actually only be five minutes of six-minute stoppage time.

In the 94th minute, Nottingham Forest's attack was a mess, and a simple long pass could not threaten Manchester United's goal at all, but Manchester United had another chance to almost score. Wayne Rooney's long-range shot hit the crossbar and flew off the lineline, bringing the cheers of United fans on the sidelines to an abrupt end.

In the ninety-fifth minute, Nottingham Forest won a corner. Akinfeev wanted to rush to help. was scolded back by Wood.

Pepe rushed to the United goal, hoping to score a goal and make amends for himself. Unfortunately, when he jumped up to fight for the top, he pushed down Vidic, and the referee ruthlessly blew him for a foul, and the Forest team lost another chance to attack. Pepe also wanted to appeal to the referee that it was a Vidic fake, but Woodra went back. What's the use of arguing with the referee at this point? It's just a waste of your time!

"There is no hope for Nottingham Forest. There was still half a minute left before the end of the game. And it's a Manchester United goal. They just need to keep putting their feet down at the back to get that half a minute through......"

Manchester United fans were already singing and dancing in the stands to celebrate the victory.

The United players didn't really fall in the back, because Ibisevic and Eastwood both rushed up to the frenzied robbery, and the defenders were afraid that they would make a mistake and be cut off by the opponent and then counterattack, so they simply kicked the ball up front and let the ball go as far away from their goal as possible.

Pepe finally didn't rise to the top again, and he intercepted the ball from the air with a powerful header. Rooney moved to the middle and was going to pick up the ball and shoot again.

However, his ball was blocked by Thiago with his body.

There was chaos in front of the penalty area.

Wood burst out of the confusion, rounded his thighs and kicked the ball forward. No matter how you look at it, this looks like a breakout......

The football flew like a cruise missile to where Ferdinand was.

At the same time, Ibisevic also rushed towards the landing point of the football. At this time in the game, only he who had just been on the court for a short time had the physical strength to sprint. Eastwood had too much to do and could only watch from near the centre circle.

The two soon met with a goal.

Ferdinand did not aim at the ball under Ibisevic's interference, but instead rubbed the ball back......

However, he was still more than ten meters away from goalkeeper Foster, and it was impossible for the ball to rub into Foster's hands.

On the contrary, it was Ibisevic who picked up the bargain!

He bypassed Ferdinand, who had lost his center of gravity, and pounced on the football.

"Mistake! Ferdinand made a mistake! Isn't that a foul? The referee signals the game to continue! This is Nottingham Forest's last chance! Ibisevic received the ball and Forster rushed to ......"

Huge boos rang out at the same time.

Amid the boos, Ibisevic bounced the ball forward with the arch of his foot!

Foster leaps to pounce on the ball, but the ball goes under his armpit!

Everyone at Old Trafford watched the football go through Ben. Foster, crossed the goal line and then hit the net......

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Can't...... Believe!! ”

After the goal, Ibisevic ran to the sidelines and began to slap in celebration again. But this time it was more powerful than the previous twelve. It was the equaliser, the one that pulled Nottingham Forest back from the brink! It was a big goal!

"It's like a dream...... Nottingham Forest equalised in the last minute of the game! And they really did! I take back what I said three minutes ago, it's not the final kill! The Manchester United thought they had won! But the Nottingham Foresters stood up and said: 'No! The game isn't over yet! Even with only half a minute left, we could have scored!! 'Amazing goal! Super Ibby ——!!! ”

In the narrator's frantic voice, Tony. Donn got carried away and celebrated on the sidelines. He used a somersault to express his excitement, and after the somersault, he shook his fist vigorously into the stands to demonstrate to the stunned United fans. This time no one booed him anymore......

"It's crazy stoppage time...... Both sides scored two goals in the last six minutes, with neither winning and no one losing. It's just six minutes worth the ticket price! ”

The Manchester United players, who had been equalised at the last second, stood still. Most of them can't accept the fact that three minutes ago they thought they were the winners, and three minutes later they felt like the losers......

Nottingham Forest's players flocked to Ibisevic, pinning him to the ground and stacking Rohan. They celebrated wildly, but the referee wouldn't come up to interfere because the game was over and Nottingham Forest had equalised United with a goal in the 96th minute.

Perhaps for Donn before the game, the result was not satisfactory to him. But for him three minutes ago, it was the perfect result......

"We showed our courage." He said this when Donn was interviewed after the game.
