Volume 6 Crimson Chapter 125 Two Away Goals

"George. Wood breaks through with the ball! He burst into the box! Facing the defence of Samuel and Cesar...... He shot! Oops, it's a pity the football hit the post...... Wait a minute! Mathias. Fernandez! He asked Burdisso's defense and volleyed sideways - goooooooooal!! ”

The ball slammed into the net, and Cesar flew to the net, but it didn't help......

Fernandez looked very excited as he ran to the corner flag and pulled at his shirt and roared. He could finally express the depression in his heart.

Although he was the one who scored the goal, it was George, who got the most attention. Wood. The TV broadcasts cut the close-up to Wood as soon as the goal was scored, and some viewers mistakenly thought it was George who scored the goal. What about Wood......

Bruno Fernandez gave Nottingham Forest the lead again, but the highlight of the goal was not his follow-up shot, but George. Wood had a couple of shots on goal, but unfortunately he wasn't lucky enough to hit the post, otherwise it would have been one of the memorable goals of his career! "Narrator to George. Wood applauded.

Even Tony below. Done was lamenting that Wood didn't find the back of the net before remembering that he should have applauded Fernandez's follow-up shot......

Who is the happiest person to see Wood behave like this? Not the excited narrator, not Tony with his head in his hands and not believing what he was seeing. Donn, not even the Nottingham Forest fans, but Albertini sitting in the box above the pitch.

When Demi saw Wood dribbling the ball in the midfield, he had already stood up from his seat, and when Wood's last shot hit the goal, he couldn't help but shout "goal" in advance, but it was a pity...... Finally the ball hit the post.

But that wasn't the most important thing, and Albertini was glad he saw a completely different George than he had seen before. Wood. It can even be said that it is more than he originally envisioned George. Wood wants to be better.

Albertini wants Wood to be a midfielder who can control the tempo of the whole team, like AC Milan's Andrea Pirlo. However, judging from his performance in this game, he is getting closer to the combination of Kaka and Pirlo......

You can use the pass to dispatch the team, and you also have the ability to dribble forward and break through. It's just horrible......

Albertini was joined by his good friend, the retired Paulo, a symbol of AC Milan. Maldini. He also laughed when he saw Albertini so excited: "It seems that you have a really deep affection for Nottingham Forest. ”

"Except for Milan, it's them." Albertini continued to applaud. "After all, where did I get it...... Belch. ”

He wanted to say that he had won a trophy there, something he had never dared to imagine. I suddenly realized that the championship was snatched from the person next to me.

Maldini didn't care: "It's okay. The championship belongs to the side that plays better. I'm sorry...... Last summer, Galliani didn't bring Wood to San Siro. ”

Albertini laughed: "He'll be the Paul of Nottingham Forest." Maldini's. ”

He finally ended the minute-long clapping and sat back down. The game in the field also restarted.

Maldini shook his head, not too convinced: "Nottingham Forest is not AC Milan. ”

Albertini also seems to think his friend has a point: "In other words, if Toney had been at Nottingham Forest, then I think George would have stayed there all the time. ”

"I'm thinking...... Galliani was so bent on poaching Wood that he hadn't thought about it - Tony. Donn and George. Wood dug it up together. ”

Hearing Maldini say this, Albertini burst out laughing. "Don't you know about the personal feud between Tony and Galliani?"

"I've heard a little. But I want to ...... This kind of thing is insignificant in some ways. If AC Milan can offer a better salary package and other conditions than at Nottingham Forest, I think it will be Toney. No matter how unpleasant things happen to Don and Galliani, it's time to go away, right? ”

Albertini continued to laugh while shaking his head: "You don't know Tony yet, Paul. He is sometimes very emotional, and personal feelings represent everything. In addition, AC Milan can't actually give him anything but a higher salary, and he ...... As far as I've observed, I'm not a particularly money-loving person. ”

Maldini disagrees: "At least we can give him a higher transfer budget, I know that he doesn't have the money to buy people at Nottingham Forest, he needs to sell people to make money for the club. Have you ever seen a Champions League manager like this? If I had worked in that kind of place, I would have quit a long time ago......"

"Paul, do you think Galliani and President Silvio Berlusconi will allow Toney to buy the players he wants, and they will not interfere like good boys?"

This sentence stunned Maldini. He really hadn't thought about it, and Demi was right...... At AC Milan, the person who really decides what player to buy could be Galliani, it could be the negotiator Braida, it could be his father Cesar. Maldini, and even Berlusconi, is likely to be, but not the manager anyway.

Seeing that his friend stopped talking, Albertini patted him on the shoulder: "Although there is no money in Nottingham Forest, Tony can do what he wants and live like a king." He can make a lot of money at AC Milan, he wears a gold crown and looks like a king, but there are many things he can't decide. This distinction is determined by the surname. So don't think about the impossible, Paul. None of us want President Berlusconi to leave office. Let's watch the ball. ”

By the time Albertini and Maldini were in the box discussing why Donn and Wood couldn't make it to AC Milan, the game had another ten minutes to go.

Jose Mourinho was furious at the goal he conceded and left his chair for the last 10 minutes to stand on the sidelines with a stern face on his face.

He knows how powerful Nottingham Forest's counter-attacks can be and he's sure his players know it. So what's the problem?

Out in George. Wood.

After a few years of not being in the Premier League, Wood is getting better and better...... This kind of good play with the ball in front of several people, Mourinho has never seen it in the Premier League. The sudden forward and uncharacteristically self-breakthrough without passing the ball caused Inter's defense to collapse across the board, and everyone's attention was on Wood and ignored the other Forest players. The goal was conceded in the end......

Inter Milan lost to Nottingham Forest's overall tactics, or George. What about Wood's individual play?

It's a really hard question to figure out.

In that case, what is Mourinho angry about? Of course, I was angry that I had conceded two goals at home! Jean Tony. Donn has two away goals, what does that mean? This means that they are halfway through to the quarterfinals!

But what's the use of being angry now? Ball, everyone scored. Their side can only find a way to score a few more goals and minimize their away goal advantage.

But...... In the face of Nottingham Forest's die-hard counter-attacking play, will Inter Milan really have the confidence to score more goals with the remaining twenty minutes?

※※※

Tony. Don cocked Erlang's legs in the dugout off the field. He's enjoying it right now.

The voices of Inter Milan in the stands behind him were much quieter, and it seemed that the Inter fans were hit hard by Nottingham Forest's second goal......

The 1-2 scoreline and Forest's two away goals were like a huge rock that weighed on the hearts of those people. When they want to open their mouths to shout something for the team, they feel tightness in their chests and shortness of breath and can't make a sound.

In fact, what they can't understand the most is why just a change of manager, this Nottingham Forest team suddenly became unrecognizable. In the previous encounter, they have not seen it, and it stands to reason that compared with the last meeting, the current Nottingham Forest should be inferior in terms of staffing strength.

How could it be in Don's hands that such an astonishing amount of energy could burst out?

The man who always likes to provoke a war of words before the game and is ridiculed by the media as a clown, does he really have some mysterious aura?

※※※

Knows Tony very well. Donn's TV commentator announced that the game had entered a dull period.

'Nottingham Forest are ahead away with two more goals. Can anyone tell me Tony. What other reason does Donn have not to defend? And once Nottingham Forest are determined to defend to the core, there are not many teams in the world who can score their goals, maybe Inter Milan will be one? I do not know. But I'm sure of one thing – Inter have to work hard, hard to score. Even so, even if they beat Nottingham Forest 3-2, Tony. Don will also leave Meacha's ...... with a smile"

Such a problem in front of Inter Milan's supporters does make them feel uncomfortable, and it is no wonder that the Meaza Stadium is much quieter.

The players of Inter Milan launched a fierce attack on the goal of Nottingham Forest with red eyes as if they had collectively taken medicine, wave after wave, wave after wave.

George. Wood never had a chance to show his attacking talent again, and even Ibisevic was on the verge of becoming a third centre-back, frequently clearing with his physical-dominant headers in front of goal.

Mourinho replaced Giuseppe, who was flooded by Nottingham Forest's human flesh forest, with Adriano. Rossi, while constantly waving on the sidelines to signal the team to press and press and press. At this time, he doesn't care if there will be a big space behind the team, because Nottingham Forest is simply unable to fight back!

Adriano came on and gave the team some chances, but there were too many people in the Nottingham Forest penalty area......

Inter Milan have also kept their own attacking space to a minimum while besieging Forest. It's really not good for them to score. As the game wore on, more Inter players began to try their hand at long-range shots.

With ten minutes left in stoppage time, the cries of the Inter fans suddenly increased. Although the score was still 1:2, they were unwilling to give up. Even if there is little time left, fight until the last moment. Now their highest desire has changed from "winning" to "equalising".

Even if it's a wish, Tony. Don didn't want them to do it either. He replaced Fernandez with Cohen, who was better defensively, and Shaheen with Woodgate, playing 541, three central defenders. The stubborn mind is obvious.

Until injury time, Inter Milan still did not break through the goal of Nottingham Forest, and when it seemed that the game was about to end in this way, the situation on the field changed!

※※※

After Ibrahimovic received the ball, Adriano and Quaresma, as well as other teammates in relatively good positions, raised their hands to ask him for the ball, but he didn't pass anyone, and directly chose to force a break through the inside.

The moment he stepped into the penalty line, he was tripped by Thiago!

At the same time, shrill boos rang out at the Meazza Stadium.

Everyone was nervously turning their heads to look at the referee. One gesture from him could have decided the fate of both teams......

"He pointed to the penalty spot!! My God! Inter Milan survived!! ”

The Inter players may have complained in their hearts about Ibrahimovic being alone again at the crucial moment, but now they are all cheering and rushing to the Swede to hold him.

And Thiago, who has been gesturing to the referee since just now and shaking his fingers to show that he has not fouled, it was Ibrahimovic who faked a fall, and Thiago was angry, he rushed up and grabbed the referee's hand, telling him that it was a fake fall at all!

It wasn't just Thiago who was furious, but the rest of the Forest squad was as angry as they rushed to the referee and surrounded him.

No one could understand why the referee would make such a decision. Let's not talk about whether Ibrahimovic faked a fall, no one can say without a slow-motion replay of this matter, after all, it happened too quickly. However, it was clear to them that the physical contact between Thiago and Ibrahimovic was outside the box......

Even if Thiago had fouled, it should have been a free-kick, not a penalty!

The players were furious on the pitch, and Donn pulled the fourth official off the pitch to express his displeasure: "Where the is this a penalty?" ”

"Watch your words, Mr. Donn."

"Then please pay attention to the referee's eyes! A last-minute penalty! He's so kind!! ”

Tang saw that Don was scolding more and more, for fear that he would be given a small report to the referee by the fourth official, and then directly punished the game, so he hurriedly gave Chris Rak a look, and the two of them rushed up and dragged Don back to the coach's seat.

Don is still scolding: "He's very kind!" He's kind of special! He has an enlarged bladder! ”

"It's a rather controversial decision. It takes courage to give a penalty to the underdog at the end of the game...... The referee must have some hard evidence, but let's look at the slow-motion replays...... Oops, sure enough, it's outside the restricted area! This is a miscalculation! ”

What's the use of the narrator saying that? Once the referee has decided on a decision, it will not be easily changed.

He stood at the penalty spot and waved his hand away from the Forest players who were surrounding him. Inter fans were already singing in the stands.

Don snorted, "Forget it! Even if they equalise, we have two away goals! He decided not to bother with the fourth official anymore, otherwise if he really took care of himself in the stands, it would be more than worth the loss...... No, there is no "gain" at all, and all "loss".

The referee will not change his decision no matter what the Forest players on the pitch ask for, and not only that, but Thiago and Woodgate, who was the loudest in the protest, also received yellow cards.

They can only choose to accept such a result and exit the penalty area.

Jose Mourinho was delighted with a late penalty but it wasn't too obvious. At this time, he and Donn had the same idea - even if the goal was scored, it would not be too late to equalize. And the fact that Nottingham Forest already have two away goals, like this penalty result, cannot be changed.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic took the penalty himself, and he equalised the score at 2-2 amid boos from the Nottingham Forest fans and the cheers of the International Milan fans.

After the goal, the Inter Milan players hugged each other excitedly and celebrated the aftermath of the disaster. And the Nottingham Forest players are still pulling the referee to say whether the penalty should be awarded. But this time their tone was much better, and they didn't have to worry about getting a yellow card. Because it is impossible to change the score anymore.

Everyone at Inter is celebrating, with the exception of Jose Mourinho.

Don noticed that Mourinho seemed to be looking at his side, so he spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, deliberately mocking them. Sure enough, Mourinho quickly looked away.

When Don saw Mourinho like this, he forgot that he had equalized with a penalty just now, and grinned.

Regardless, he holds his personal unbeaten record against Jose Mourinho, and as long as that record is one day, he can stay strong against Mourinho. When Mourinho wanted to turn over, he was caught by him and knocked down, and he never turned over.

The game ended in a raucous environment, with Nottingham Forest still babbling about the referee's last-minute "bold decision" as they left the Stadio Meazza and Inter fans worried about the fate of the second leg.

As for the journalists? After finishing the mixed zone interview, they were all thinking about the post-match press conference. Looking forward to the good show there – this is with Toney since Jose Mourinho left England. The first time Tang En and the two of them held a face-to-face press conference, it would be unreasonable to say that there was no exciting content!
