Chapter 40: The One Who Can Rob More (Part II)

The wings can't fly, and there is no chance in the middle, so if you want to win, you really have to count on God to possess the body again. But Don doesn't think that God is "Lei Feng", everything is a miracle, what else do you want him to do as a head coach?

In fact, his problem now is not to worry about what will happen to Bolton, it is clear that Allardyce is happy with the 1-0 away team. Davis was just putting on a show in the frontcourt, and he voluntarily gave up some of the balls that everyone had half of their chances - after all, the injury was not yet good, and he didn't dare to work too hard.

Donne's question is...... He can't be replaced now. Rebrov has just shown confidence in recent games, and if he is replaced in the first half, it will be a real failure.

After watching nearly thirty minutes of the game, Don completely broke his heart to let Rebrov play as a striker, and he didn't even want to make an occasional cameo. The 29-year-old veteran has reached the point where he has to use his experience and passing to help the team, not to score goals. After all, he and Shepchenko are not the same type of players...... "Rebrov!" He stood on the sidelines and yelled inside, duffling out the shouts of the Bolton fans in the south stand of the City Stadium. Retreat! He waved to the midline, a gesture that made it clear.

Rebrov, who has played a few games in midfield, now feels uncomfortable being a striker at the top of the pitch and he is happy for the manager to make such a change.

Rebrov returned to midfield and did much better than he had been in the previous 30 minutes, and Forest were able to organise some effective attacks. At the same time, Bolton's three defensive midfielders had to be distracted by his presence in the middle – who were clearly well aware of the fact that Rebrov had been scoring from distance lately – to the flanks of McPhail and Ashley. Opportunity for Yang to be active.

Ashley. After receiving Rebrov's pass, Jan used his speed to force a break through to Ivan. Campo and Simon. Charlton Athletic, then crossed, Eastwood deftly ran away from the centre-back who was marking him, and then flicked his header on goal, but the header was just over the bar! Despite the lack of a goal, there was a huge cheer at the City Stadium, which was one of the few chances that Forest could have scored in the first half.

Look at Freddy. Eastwood scratched his head with a look of remorse, Don was not as sorry as his men appeared, because he knew that the forest was alive...... "Eastwood! Oh - he missed a chance to score! ”

"Opportunities don't come up all the time! It wasn't until the second half of the first half that Forest woke up from their slumber, and their attack began to threaten. But that's not enough! Tony. Coach Donn was right to put Rebrov back in midfield, and with him, Forest's attack was as fluid as oil! Look at Ashley. Yang's breakthrough just now! It's really beautiful and his speed makes Ivan. Campo and Simon. Charlton has no choice! But it was thanks to Rebrov's pass, which he sent to Ashley. Yang sprints ahead, not underfoot. In this way, Yang can give full play to his speed advantage......"

Allardyce sensed Rebrov's threat in midfield and gestured to Nolan on the sidelines to keep an eye on the Ukrainian.

Nolan is younger and has better physical strength, more than enough to deal with twenty-nine-year-old Rebrov. But he had just made this adjustment, and Tang En also changed his moves.

When Allardyce was seen gesturing to Nolan on the sidelines, Done knew what he was going to do. It is nothing more than a defensive midfielder who sticks to the heart of Forest's attacking playmaking and does everything he can to stifle Rebrov's play.

In the 06-07 season, the managers of the Spanish Primera Division often used it against Guti, the core of Real Madrid's midfield. As long as Guti is guarded, it is equivalent to defending the entire Real Madrid team, because Guti is the key person who controls the rhythm of Real Madrid's attack.

Rebrov is also doing the same for Nottingham Forest now, and his experience can help the team master the tempo, when to split the wings, when to keep the ball, when to be fast and when to be slow...... He is a cut above his teammates around him, after all, he is a veteran who has played in the Champions League, and he is no longer on the same level as the lads in the midfield of the Forest team now.

Bolton intended to use young Nolan to bring down Rebrov, but ...... Have you asked my opinion, Mr. Allardyce?

The visitors played a stubborn game and Okocha looked dispensable on the pitch. Wood, as for him, was still following him...... "George!!" Donn yelled from the sidelines, and Wood took his attention off Okocha for a moment and turned to the dugout.

"Protect the Ukrainians!!" Donn pointed to Rebrov, who was pestering with Nolan. "Don't let him concede the ball easily!"

In such a noisy environment, he can only make a long story short, and he can't tell him as carefully as he did in the dressing room. Now it's up to Wood to comprehend how much he can comprehend.

Rebrov was about to dribble past Nolan, but the ball at his feet was poked down by Nolan. There were cheers from the south stands, and it was Bolton's chance to fight back!

But Nolan had just rounded Rebrov and was about to get the ball away, when he noticed that a man had also rushed to the ball, wearing a red home team shirt!

It's a half-for-half chance! Nolan didn't plan to hand back the football he had just snatched easily, he rushed over desperately, intending to take advantage of the momentum of the successful steal he had just made, and snatched twice in a row!

But the person he faced this time was no longer Rebrov, but ...... "Bang! The two kicked each other hard, and the ball went off, and Nolan wanted to grab it, but he couldn't do anything because he had fallen to the ground. Although his opponent staggered a little, the man managed to keep his balance, and he ran past him without looking back.

The stands at the entire City Stadium erupted in loud cheers - the "wonder boy" George who had made a frantic interception in the midfield in the previous game and finally sent a 60-meter assist. Wood is back!

Rebrov looked back and saw Wood, and immediately abandoned his intention to turn around and grab back. In training, he knew that this kid was very good at grabbing the ball one-on-one, and with him by his side, he only had to think about how to attack, and he didn't have to worry about letting the opponent counterattack if he lost the ball.

Wood caught up with the football, and without hesitation, chose to pass the football to the nearest person in his sight, the easiest to pass to the feet of Rebrov!

Nolan was completely powerless, he lay on the ground, looking back to see that his defence had been breached, there was not a single Bolton player around Rebrov, he had plenty of time to decide whether to shoot or pass after he got the ball...... "Offense and defense change hands!" Nottingham Forest's attack! Rebrov is unmarked...... Long shot! "Martin. Taylor screamed.

Seeing Nolan being broken through, Bolton's goalkeeper Finn Jaskelainen was on the lookout for Rebrov's long-range shot, and when he saw him get up, he jumped up and hit the shot with both fists!

"Beautiful! Askelainen! He tried his best to keep the door open! ”

There were loud sighs from the stands, but soon the fans gave their applause to Rebrov who shot the goal and George who broke the ball and launched a counterattack. Wood.

Although the attack was still goalless, it gave Forest a lot of confidence, especially to the attacking players. They all knew that there was a guy behind them: tireless, tackling, like a wall of silence in the middle line, giving them support and reassuring them - attack boldly, here I am.

Yes, Donn's response was to equip the core of the organization with a dedicated bodyguard.

Mr. Allardyce, what do you think of Kevin. Nolan, Jana Kopoulos, Ivan. Are these people in Campo very good at grabbing? Very well, now let them see who can grab more!
