Volume 5 Red Chapter 35 Welcome to your Hell
(Sorry, I forgot to schedule the release a little late)
※※※
At the start of the second half, Nottingham Forest had already given them a welcome gift while Besiktas fans were still thinking about how to make more noise and pressure on Forest.
The first half kick-off was Besiktas' serve, and in the second half it was Forest's turn. The Nottingham Forest players seized the opportunity to launch an attack. This time, they showed the strength of the defending champions, showing the home fans how different the quality of the two teams is......
The football was always controlled by the Forest players, no matter how desperately Besiktas's players defended, they could not cut off the Forest's ball, they dribbled and passed until Besiktas goal, and then Petrov from behind finished the shot, this time in the woodwork, only slightly straight, saved by Besiktas goalkeeper Rustu.
Although he didn't score, Don said happily to the people around him: "That's right, that's decent, that's our real level!" ”
In this attack, it doesn't matter if the result is scored or not. The key is to let everyone see the true energy of the Forest team, otherwise Besiktas fans really think that Nottingham Forest is a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually. In fact, just as Besiktas's strength has been flooded by their avid fans, Nottingham Forest's strength looks to have shrunk a lot due to the fanaticism of those fans.
The attack should be a wake-up call for Besiktas, who are not that easy to deal with. But Zagrem, who were carried away by the frenzied home atmosphere, didn't take it seriously, and Forest also had such an attack in the first half, and that time it was out of the goal, didn't it still let us press and play at other times?
It's not a big deal, with such fanatical home support, the opponent doesn't want to have any good performance here. "Hell Home" isn't just a gimmick.
He waved his arms on the sidelines and used exaggerated body language to tell his players that they would continue to press the attack, that one goal was not enough, that one more goal would be scored and that a two-goal lead would be safe.
Besiktas pressed up like a tidal wave.
As Donn said at half-time, although their attack looked imposing, the actual effect was pitiful, and a large crowd of people rushed up, but they could only spin around on the outside, unable to break into the box.
In the end, Besiktas's attack was stopped by Ayala. The fans booed as loudly as they did in the first half, but there were fewer and fewer Forest players distracted by these factors. As long as you see the essence through the phenomenon, you will find ...... Besiktas is really weak!
Nottingham Forest organised the attack again. Ayala handed the football to Van der Vaart.
The Dutchman didn't dribble the ball or stop the ball to observe, he just got a long pass and played the ball to the front.
Besiktas' players are coming back and Forest can't give them a chance to get back in place if they want to attack.
Ruud van Nistelrooy up front and opposition centre-back Gokohan? Zan competed for this landing point, and the two jumped up at the same time, but no one reached it!
Zan interfered with Van Nistelrooy, and Van Nistelrooy did not let Zan go. The two were entangled, but it gave Petrov a chance to plug in at high speed.
He swept past the two of them like the wind, reaching out to unload the fallen soccer ball steadily.
This time the ball was stopped to win the applause of the commentator, and in the high-speed running, a high ball was parked so beautifully, which shows the skills.
Petrov, who stopped the ball, slowed down slightly, and another Turkish centre-back, Tolaman, appeared in front of him. This is the only defensive force other than goalkeeper Rustu. Besiktas liked the way the defenders pressed and finally made them suffer.
Freed from his entanglement with Van Nistelrooy, Zan got up from the ground and pounced on Petrov, intending to break the ball with a double bag.
Petrov, however, poked the ball through the gap between the two men before they could complete the encirclement.
"Van Nistelrooy! He's not being watched! ”
Besiktas's only two defenders had gone to fare Petrov, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had also just risen from the ground, was of course unmarked. Petrov didn't have Van Nistelrooy in sight, but when he spotted Zanya coming up to defend him, he knew it must be Van Nistelrooy's chance and chose to pass the ball out.
Sure enough, as he was surrounded by two men, he saw Ruud van Nistelrooy appear behind two Turkish defenders and receive his pass. Since it is plugged in backwards, it is not offside!
Now Rustu is the only one in front of the Dutch goalscorer.
Don Enke is no stranger to Besiktas' goalkeeper, who rose to fame five years ago at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea, where he was a perfect performer and Turkey were able to finish third in history. In the end, when he competed with Marx for the best goalkeeper of that cup, he only lost to the whole team: the third place was not as dazzling as the championship after all.
He then moved to Barcelona with such an aura. Barcelona have been plagued by a lack of quality and inconsistent performances in their goalkeepers, and they hope that the arrival of Rustu can change that and give Barcelona a figure to rival Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas in the goalkeeper position. I didn't expect ......
Rusto's performance in Barcelona was a disaster. Now retired in Turkey, even in Besiktas, he is not the main goalkeeper. At the age of thirty-four, he is no longer as brave as he once was. This game was only given a starting opportunity because of the injury of the main goalkeeper Alikan.
Rustu faces the biggest test since the start of the game, will he be able to keep out Van Nistelrooy's shot?
There were loud boos from the scene, and they put pressure on the one-man Van Nistelrooy.
Facing the attacking Rustu, Van Nistelrooy opted for a direct push and he pushed the ball to the left. Rustu misjudged the direction...... However, his foot blocked the ball after he fell to the ground!
The soccer ball collided with Rustu's foot and flew to the left.
The boos in the Inonu stands turned into cheers.
"He pounced!" The Turkish commentator exclaimed.
Before the Turks had time to rejoice, the third wave of Forest's offensive had arrived.
Goko Khan? Zan was chasing Van Nistelrooy, Tolaman collided with Petrov, Rustu fell to the ground, and Uzulmez was still desperately trying to get back to the defense, they were all relieved to see that the football didn't fly into the goal, and the pace of the original chase slowed down unconsciously.
At this point, Gareth? Bale appeared in the Besiktas penalty area and the ball was flying towards where he was.
As if under command, the Besiktas fans instantly turned their cheers into boos, and the overwhelming shrill boos hit the young Bale.
Rustu was still lying on the ground, and when he turned his head, he saw Bell leaning sideways and picking up his left foot. He scrambled to get up from the ground and pounced back on the goal to block the angle of the opposition's shot.
How could Bell give him another chance to be a hero? The huge boos of the fans did not disturb him in the slightest, don't look at his young age, in terms of mental quality, Bale does not lose anyone.
Set up a stance, bend your bow and arrows, look at the flying football, and adjust your center of gravity slightly. Starting from the ankle of the supporting foot, the force is transmitted to the waist and abdomen, and the body is twisted, and the raised left leg is like a whip that accurately draws the football!
With a "bang", the football was in the air, and then the line changed and flew towards the goal!
Rustu struggled to throw his body out, and it was really hard for him to do such a difficult maneuver at the age of thirty-four. He stretched his hands as straight as he could, expanding the defensive area and trying to keep the ball down.
But he didn't fly high enough, and the ball flew over him, hitting the bottom edge of the crossbar, bouncing straight down and smashing into the goal line!
“hat_a_great_gooooal!!” The British commentator held back for most of the time, and finally could shout this sentence out. "Nottingham Forest equalised, 1:1! Gareth? Bel! Nice volley! ”
After the goal, Bale did not run around excitedly, but put his index finger to his mouth and ran to the stands where the Turkish fans were most concentrated......
No matter how his teammates hugged him at the end, he kept it that way. He didn't care about what was thrown from the stands, he just wanted to vent his anger.
The Besiktas fans in the stands did not shut up obediently, but booed louder, mixed with all kinds of insults. Bell ignored it, turned and hugged his teammates.
※※※
Zan and Toramane surrounded Petrov, thinking that was the end of the Forest's attack, but Petrov stabbed the ball through the cracks and gave Van Nistelrooy. Rustu blocked Van Nistelrooy and everyone thought that the Forest's attack was finally over this time, and the matter was over...... But! Gareth? Bale appeared in everyone's eyes and he scored the equaliser! It's a beautiful goal and it's a morale boost! ”
The commentator was retelling the process of the goal.
Don high-fived the people in the dugout off the field. What does it mean to bloom at multiple points, advancing layer by layer, and at the same time like a tide? Besiktas's little cubs have seen clearly, this is it!
Zagrem were furious at the goal as his players let themselves relax at the last minute and lost their target, leaving Bale completely unguarded when he was in danger zone.
He angrily kicked a bottle of water off the sidelines, and as a former Besiktas striker, his footwork was still there, and it fell to the feet of the fourth official with great precision.
The fourth officer looked down at the level where he had stopped when he rolled to his feet, and then looked up at Zagrem. The angry coach Besiktas clearly didn't bother to care about these small details, he was waving his arms on the sidelines and shouting at the players inside.
The fourth officer picked up the water bottle and thought about it, put it aside, and did not go to trouble Zagrem.
※※※
The game continued.
Nottingham Forest equalised, and even if the Besiktas fans made all kinds of noise in the stands, they couldn't interfere with the Forest players, because through this goal, they found out that Besiktas was really just using the fans' momentum to fake the tiger.
Once the paper is pierced, Nottingham Forest will revert to the Champions Cup that swept the European powers and eventually reached the top.
Besiktas's pressing style of play had little effect on the Foresters, but instead allowed the Forest to take advantage of their lack of air defense to counterattack frequently, disturbing the Besiktas backline.
Zagrem paced back and forth in the coaching area as he saddened to find that the home atmosphere had become uncontrollable for Nottingham Forest, and the goal seemed to wake them all up.
Then it was the Forest who gradually seized the initiative on the field, using their superior skills to turn Besiktas around.
No matter how loud the home fans booed, they couldn't help the Besiktas players get the ball down. The fans are terrified, and they can't come up and grab the ball in person.
When George? When Wood snatched the ball from Delgado's feet with another vicious tackle, the referee didn't say anything. The stands rang out with disgruntled boos from the home fans, and Besiktas' head coach Zagrem even burst into flames off the pitch, angrily scolding the referee.
All he scolded was Turkish, and Donn couldn't understand it. But he saw the referee suddenly stop the game, not because he was under pressure from home to make up a yellow card for Wood, but because he was ...... ran straight to the Turkish coach's box, and then he showed a ...... to Zagrem, who was still scolding, in front of the fans and with thunderous boos Red!
The people on the Besiktas bench and the coach's bench were dumbfounded, watching the referee's gesture pointing to Yongdao. It took a few seconds for someone to come up and defend their manager.
Don added fuel to the fire, and after seeing Zagrem sent off, he made a gesture to celebrate the goal – clenching his fists and swinging them hard.
His provocative move ushered in more clutter in the stands behind him, and Donn returned to the dugout, still applauding despite the "rain of clutter" outside.
Regardless of Besiktas's explanation or protests, it is a fact that the agitated Zagrem insulted the referee on duty, and according to the rules, the referee has the right to send him to the stands. The referee stood in front of a group of excited Turkish coaches and players, his arms pointing to the exit, not lowering, his face tense, and the meaning was obvious:
Please get out!
To the teeth of the Turkish fans, Donn was still clapping from his seat.
In the end, Zagrem did not give up, and left the dugout with a curse and walked to the stands. Don stepped up at the right time, smiling and watching his opponent off.
Of course, Zagrem also saw Donn, and Donn deliberately wanted him to see it. He turned his head to look at Don, and his mouth was still muttering, probably not a good word. But Don didn't understand it anyway, so he just smiled and sent him away, as if the two had met at halftime.
Poor Zagrem, who was sent off halfway through, didn't have a chance to have the last laugh......
※※※
The dismissal of the manager was a very heavy blow to Besiktas, and the cheers of the fans in the stadium turned into noise that made them even more impatient.
Forest then came off in a bout and scored twice with 20 minutes left to win 3-1 away at Turkey's powerhouse for their first win of the Champions League.
After the game, the entire Forest squad was safely escorted from the pitch under the protection of a shield raised by riot police, and they celebrated for an hour in the dressing room, waiting for the frenetic Turkish fans outside to disperse before leaving the stadium and returning to their hotel.
The Forest picked up a win, but what about Donn? In addition to the victory, he received a bunch of souvenirs......
