"A beautiful counterattack! George. Wood's brilliant performance led to this goal! ”

In the eerie atmosphere of the Alpi Stadium, the Nottingham Forest players hugged each other tightly. It was the first goal they scored at the Alpi Stadium and that was a good sign!

Not long after Donne's ass was next to the chair, he jumped up again. He shook his fists vigorously, venting his emotions to the fullest. It was as if he had won the whole game.

"George is getting more and more like the heart of the midfield!" Chris Rac was also excited, shouting excitedly from the side. "This is a beautiful way to get rid of and pass!"

Ranieri shook his head in disappointment, turned and walked back. The mouth is still chattering: "How can he pass the ball to the opponent's feet?" I really don't know what he thinks! ”

The initiation of this conceded goal was a mistake by Giovinco in front of the goal. It's so frustrating to concede a goal like this.

Sebastian. By the time Giovinco reached the edge of the box, the ball was already lying quietly in the goal. He stopped, looking at the soccer ball with some distraction.

He felt like he was playing like a piece of shit today.

After a moment of silence, the Alpi Stadium finally booed again. This was for Nottingham Forest, of course, but in Giovinko's ears, it was as if it was coming for him.

This boo continued until the end of the first half. Nottingham Forest entered the dressing room with a one-goal lead, while the Juventus players looked a little lost – they thought the final five minutes should be theirs.

Ranieri had already left his seat and walked to the corridor when the whistle blew for the first time. He was unhappy with the result and had something to say at half-time.

And Tony. Donn was in no hurry to go back to the dressing room, he stood on the sidelines of the pitch and patted the head and shook hands with every Forest player who came off the pitch to congratulate and encourage. He did that before turning away, he was the last to enter the visitors' dressing room.

"Well done, guys!" Don is in a good mood, his voice is loud and his movements are powerful. It was clear that he was quite happy with the result in the first half. "The race is in our plan. But in the second half we had to work hard and lead by one goal......"

"It's the least secure score in the world!" Eastwood helped Don say what he had to say.

Don pointed at him, and everyone laughed. Don has always treated him with the most lenient attitude towards this beloved general, and things like interjecting himself in the dressing room are unthinkable for others, but Eastwood can do it, and almost never receive any criticism.

"Freddy, I think you can come and be the head coach in the future."

Everyone laughed again.

Eastwood smiled, "What am I doing, boss." ”

"I bet Ranieri is upset right now." Done no longer bothered Eastwood and continued, "His plan should be to use the opening or half-time period to score our goals, just like he did in the last win over us. Because he felt that we would only let up at that time. But he didn't expect to be calculated by us. Don smiled happily, and was a bit of a thief.

'In the second half they will definitely continue to attack for a while because they are not willing to lose to us at home. That's our chance, seize it! Don clasped his hands.

Meanwhile, in the dressing room at Juventus.

Ranieri grimaced, his target now sitting in front of his locker cabinet with his head bowed and silent, wiping a sweaty towel in his hand, not knowing where to wipe it.

Ranieri didn't scold Giovinco for making a crucial mistake, he just glared fiercely for a moment, then turned away, and sighed.

"Let's see how we came back in the second half......

He looked at the tactics board, on which the formations of the two teams were drawn. In his eyes, the formation on Nottingham Forest's side has shrunk back to the front of the penalty area, putting on a posture of an iron bucket formation.

Since he took charge of Juventus, he has always stressed the importance of not allowing himself to make mistakes. He wants to catch other people's mistakes, but he doesn't want others to catch his pigtails. But now the only unsolicited mistake in the first half was caught by Nottingham Forest. Tony. Don is also very good at catching opponents' pigtails......

It's not going to be good right now. Nottingham Forest are ahead, and with what Ranieri knows about Juventus, he also understands what Nottingham Forest will do.

Defend and counterattack!

I'd do the same if I wanted to......

"We have to attack ......," he said with some weakness, "but we can't press them all, and we have to defend their counter-attacks while attacking." In the second half, we focused our attacking forces on the two flanks......" he said, pointing to the opposition formation on the tactical board.

From the perspective of formation, Nottingham Forest's middle is very thick, and the general attack will encounter strong resistance here. But on the flanks it is relatively empty. The resistance encountered on the side road is petite and easier to pass quickly.

Ranieri figured it out that Donne must have used the advantage in the middle to gain control of the midfield. Ranieri, on the other hand, didn't play with him, and used the method of quickly passing through the wing to smash the Yellow Dragon.

"In the second half, Alessandro, you go up, replace Giovinco."

While there was no criticism of Giovinco's performance in the first half, his substitution showed everyone his attitude towards the rising midfield star.

Bender. Piero nodded.

Giovinko's head was buried even lower.

※※※

'I guess Ranieri will step up in the second half, but he's not a fool. Look at our midfield set-up, it's a fool's dream for him to come in from the middle. So he's going to be sure to focus on the wings. "Donn drew two lines on the tactical board." Because it looks like our flanks are empty. So in the second half we had to make a little bit of adjustment......"

'The two full-backs cut down on the number of assists and we changed the formation to 442 parallel positions. George, you and Thiago continue to defend in the middle, Matthias you go back to the left, Shaheen you rest in the second half, Lennon up. ”

Shaheen nodded and accepted Donn's arrangement.

It was also a half-time substitution, with Done and Ranieri having completely different purposes. So the mood of the two players who were substituted was completely different.

'In the second half, we went back to the attacking tactics we were most familiar with. Surprise Juventus again! ”

※※※

Before the start of the second half, both sides were prepared to make personnel changes near the touchline.

Juventus with Del. Piero replaced Giovinco, who had made a fatal mistake in the first half, while Nottingham Forest brought on Lennon for Shahin.

'It's understandable to replace Giovinco, after all, he was so poor in the first half. But replace Shaheen with Lennon...... What is the meaning? Shahin's performance in the first half was remarkable...... "The commentator was still puzzled by this, but Ranieri was keenly aware that something was wrong.

Lennon is a pure wide player, while Shaheen is a pure central player. What does this adjustment mean?

Nottingham Forest are back on the sidelines!

He had just put his players on the flanks and was now facing Forest......

He believed that it must be Tang En's conspiracy - in the first half, he thought that he was the post-80s Shaolin abbot. Didn't expect Tony. Donn, however, uncharacteristically played the card in the middle, which caught him off guard, and in the end, the Forest team launched an attack from the middle to score a point. At halftime, he made his own countermeasures to this situation, but he didn't expect Don to change again!

Donn asked his team to focus on attacking from the flanks in the second half, not just for the sake of attacking, but also for the sake of defense – as Forest step up their attacking efforts on the wings, Juventus' wide attacks will inevitably suffer.

Attacking on the flanks is Donn's idea.

The effect is still very significant......

After the start of the game, Juventus wanted to lay siege to the Forest goal, but were dragged into the midfield quagmire by Nottingham Forest.

Bender. Piero came on and could control the ball, but George. Wood's close defense of him made it difficult for him. He has excellent ball control skills, but his body is not as good as the former Italian golden boy, George. Wood used his excellent physical fitness, even at the cost of fouls, to make Piero tired.

In the first half, Wood and Thiago were both attacking and attacking, but in the second half they focused almost entirely on defence. They are like two midfield meat grinders, dragging in and grinding all Juventus' attacks. Such a midfield defense has caused a lot of trouble for Juventus' attack.

Juventus players have the feeling that wherever they pass the ball, there will be outnumbered Nottingham Forest players, as if they were all over the place.

Physically, the Forest players had no problem at all, running around to break the ball for Juventus.

The game was a stalemate, with no better chance for either side, and most of the time, both teams kept making mistakes - Nottingham Forest used their Premier League rhythm to drag Juventus, a graceful and elegant rich man, into a frantic run without image. After a long time, the old woman couldn't stand it anymore...... Unsolicited errors began to increase.

At the same time, Forest's mistakes are on the rise, but that's still with Tony. Within what Don can afford. They now have the lead, and as long as they drag Juventus to the ground, there is a big chance for Forest.

Don returned to the coach's seat, sat down, and crossed Erlang's legs. He wasn't in a hurry.

As time passed, Juventus became more and more anxious.

There seemed to be a pegboard in the Juventus coach's box, and Ranieri's ass would be lifted again as soon as he was lowered, and then he paced to the sidelines, a little anxious and a little helpless staring at what was happening on the pitch.

He can only hope that Amaury can burst into the league and break through the gates of Nottingham Forest.

Unfortunately, Pepe used close marking against Amaury, and the powerful centre-forward was met by a fierce opponent. Moreover, Nottingham Forest cut off the link between Juventus' midfield and the attack, neither Amaury nor Iaquinta could not get support from the midfield, and more often they were alone, and they had to drop back to receive the ball.

In short, Juventus' attacking system was messed up by Nottingham Forest, and Ranieri was at a loss for what to do about it - he was always slow down to Donne, and the adjustments he made were all based on Donn's previous deployments, and the players were very confused.

※※※

The second half was a hundred times duller than the first, and it wasn't until the end of the game that Juventus launched a wave of counter-attacks**. They seized the last moment and laid siege to Nottingham's Gate. And Nottingham Forest also seemed to have a little bit of a desire to attack anymore, and they all went back to defend and cowered in their own box.

Don was unhappy with the situation, and he stood on the sidelines and roared for his team to fight back.

But his voice was drowned out by the cheering storm of the home fans at the Alpi Stadium.

"This is Juventus' last chance! If they don't hurry, they will lose at home! ”

Claudio Ranieri replaced Sissoko, who had contributed nothing to the attack, at the last minute, and brought on the excellent midfielder Jago from the La Masia Academy, hoping to strengthen the attack and equalize in the final moments to create a miracle.

"Amaury's header!"

"Ahh Nice save! That's amazing! ”

"Akinta fell in the box and the referee blew the whistle! It was just a free kick from outside the box, Kompany's foul was timely, and it would have been a penalty a little later! ”

"Del. Piero came to take the free-kick...... Hit the wall! The Juventus players complained to the referee that the Forest team was too far apart, but the referee simply signaled for them to throw a throw-in. ”

……

It was in the last ten minutes that the game got into the real highlights. Juventus pressed Forest to play, and the threatening shots came one after another, and the hearts of the Forest fans almost jumped out of their throats. Akinfeev's goal swayed in the wind and rain, as if it would be attacked at any moment.

Don was nervous, too, and if Juventus scored the equaliser in the final moments, and then saw them hugging and celebrating wildly, Donn really knew if his nuclear-powered heart would be able to withstand the thrill......

"Tony!" Don shouted loudly in the back. He was also worried about Donn's heart.

"I'm fine, Don." Don waved his hand, rushed to the sideline and yelled, "What are you doing in the back?" Being a turtle? You guys don't fuck that head [***]!! ”

Prompted by Donn's frantic rants and body language, Nottingham Forest finally had two counter-attacks, one of which came close to scoring.

Juventus were unfazed by Nottingham Forest's two counter-attacks and continued to press hard to find a goal before the break. The old woman, who had always been mild-mannered, finally threw away the veil that covered her face, rolled up her sleeves, and tied her skirt around her waist, intending to fight for her life with Nottingham Forest.

It's a pity that they made up their minds a little late......

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Piero kicked the ball into the stands behind the Forest goal.

As the captain of Juventus, he is not unhappy with anyone. He was just unhappy with the loss – they were being worn alive by Nottingham Forest's defence......

According to the post-match statistics, they have counted almost a third more than Nottingham Forest, but they have not scored a single goal.

At the end of the game, the Nottingham Forest players repeated what they had done for Juventus at the Alpi Stadium two years ago – celebrating the victory like crazy.

But Donn seemed calm, and without even celebrating, he got up to shake Ranieri's hand.

"It was a good game...... Donn said in English, regardless of whether Ranieri could understand it or not. In fact, the language barrier is not an obstacle for Don to express his meaning, because while saying this, he has a smile on his face as bright as a flower.

Ranieri knows Tony. What kind of person is Don En, although he can't understand what he is saying, he also knows that it is definitely not a good word. He ignored the opponent who wanted to show off in front of him, shook Donn's hand and turned to leave.

As soon as Ranieri left, reporters swarmed around Donn. Want to hear what he thinks about the victory in this game.

"Three wins in a row." Tang En raised three fingers, "We're set!" ”

"Mr. Donn, are you a little overconfident?"

"You are wrong, Mr. Reporter. It's not overconfidence, I'm just telling the truth. ”

"Is it not satisfying to beat Juventus by just one goal?"

"No, I only care about three points."

"How does it feel to get revenge when your team lost away to Juventus in the Champions League group stage two seasons ago?"

"I don't feel much right now. Because we have to play them at home. When that game is over, you can ask me that question again. ”

"Can you talk about Nottingham Forest's Champions League goals this season?"

This time, Tang En was rarely humble, and he smiled: "Let's do our best to see how far we can go." ”

As a result, the day after the game, his humble smile was interpreted as "Tony." Donn is back in the Champions League". Tony on the photo. Donn smiled mysteriously, his eyes narrowed as if he was really calculating how far his team was from the European title.

Donn was innocent - "It was just a professional smile......

Don's assessment of this is: "Don't be modest, you're already stereotyped, madman." ”
