Chris Rac used his loud voice to tell the players on the pitch about Donn's latest instructions, telling them to stop defending and start trying more offense. Since Liverpool is desperate to attack, the Forest team has to be courteous.

Come and don't get along, it's rude.

Forest began to fight back.

Liverpool pressed very high, which gave Forest the opportunity to attack. Nottingham Forest ripped off their defensive coats, revealing the sharp dagger hidden underneath, the blade still glowing with a green chill.

Mascherano is Liverpool's iron gate in midfield, and he will be responsible for cutting off Forest's midfield and front, blocking opponents' counter-attacks. This is the weapon that Benitez arranged to deal with Forest's counter-attack.

The Argentine midfielder was a player that Donn admired before he crossed over to become manager, he was a very good defensive midfielder with great physicality, first-class awareness and no rough technique. At the moment, Liverpool have only loaned him, but Benitez is already considering buying him outright at the end of the season. To do this, he dropped Sissoko, who was also defensively good but not as comprehensive as Mascherano, and put the Malian on the bench.

If it weren't for the Forest team having George. Wood, Donn will certainly use his prophetic abilities to take down Mascherano two years ago.

Since I like Mascherano, I naturally know him and know how to deal with him.

Benitez put the Argentine midfielder in midfield, and in order to disrupt Forest's counter-attack, his relentless running and ferocious tackles, as well as just the right amount of fouls, did cause some problems for Forest's attack in the previous game.

However, that was because the Forest team did not have the intention to attack with all their might at that time, but it was just a small fight, just two or three people went up and shot when they had the chance. There is no chance to retreat at the first time, and the opponent is not given the opportunity to seize the space behind him.

It's different now.

Mascherano found it impossible for him alone to stop the Forest's counter-attack, with David Beckham, Van der Vaart, Franck Ribery, and even Pepe as a centre-back, as well as midfielder George. Wood, could be called the starting point of the Forest's attack.

He went to fight Beckham, but the football was passed to Wood, Gerrard went to defend Wood, but Wood passed the football to Pepe, who was plugged in from behind!

The Brazilian-born but Portuguese-born centre-back has the attacking nature of a Brazilian. He took advantage of the fact that Liverpool's midfield was busy defending Forest's attacking players, and rushed through the middle with the ball, directly to the 30-metre area of Liverpool, although his breakthrough was stopped by Hyypia in the end, but this breakthrough won Pepe the cheers of the Forest fans in the stands.

It's also very morale-boosting.

Don't think that attacking is just the job of the frontcourt players, the centre-backs can be the sharpest knives as well.

In addition to the abdomen, the hedgehog is covered with thorns, and Nottingham Forest is such a hedgehog that is not easy to mess with.

Do hedgehogs have weaknesses? Of course. Its soft belly is its Achilles' heel. But the Foresters, who insisted on defensive tactics, were tantamount to curling up their bodies and wrapping their soft belly inside, while their multi-point offensive strategy seemed to erect the thorns in their backs, like a prickly ball, leaving the enemy with no way to eat.

Forest's sudden activity in attack. To Benitez's surprise, he looked at his watch, and it wasn't even halfway through the second half...... Why didn't they suddenly shrink back and hold on?

He turned his head to look at the Forest dugout, except for the legs. He couldn't see anything.

Liverpool were a little scrambling with a sudden comeback from Forest, and in a panic they defended Ribery and tripped him up, giving Forest a free-kick in front.

As a Premier League rival, Rafael Benitez must remember how Forest's first game of the season was won.

Seeing Forest win a free-kick on the edge of the box, he got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines for the second time, staring at the pitch with some nervousness.

Fortunately. In the end, Beckham's free-kick didn't go in, a little off, but it was enough to make Liverpool supporters break out in a cold sweat.

Benitez made a gesture of dissatisfaction, saying not to give the opponent a set-piece lightly, the foul was really fearless - we stood up defensively, Forest could only move the football laterally at best, and the team's goal was not much of a threat. As soon as you foul you, you give the opponent a chance to attack vertically without any interference. What's more, Forest now have a number of set-piece players in their squad. Gareth Bale has long proven the power of his left-footed free-kick in the Premier League. As for David. David Beckham, do you still need proof?

Wait for Liverpool to take a goal kick. Benitez made another gesture for the team to press up and attack. You have to score as soon as possible.

He knew about Donn's series of pre-match provocations, and even if he could hold back, would his subordinates be able to? They are all a group of talented and hot-blooded young people, and they don't need any reason if they are really impulsive.

If the score is still 1:1 after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that his subordinates will not become agitated. At that time, even if you are the head coach, there will be times when you can't control the situation. So at half-time he said he wanted to try to take the lead again in the first half of the second half, because he knew that his players had already been provoked by Donn's provocation, and he could use this fire to make Liverpool's fighting power increase in a short period of time, but he could not control it for a long time. Being provoked by an opponent is a double-edged sword that can increase combat effectiveness and also make players lose their cool.

The pre-match provocation, coupled with the counterattack in the middle of the game, plus the current score......

As time went on, Benitez believes his grip on the frustrated side of the squad is slowly waning.

If you don't destroy your opponent before then, you're likely to end up self-destructing.

The Forest team intensified their attack and did not let up their grip on the defence in the slightest. Don't think that after the Forest team starts to increase their attacking efforts, Liverpool will have the opportunity to take advantage of it and play the Forest team's counterattack in turn. Donn, who is good at counter-attacking, wouldn't be stupid enough to give the opponent a chance to counter-attack himself.

It was still a defensive counterattack, but when there was a chance to counterattack, the Forest team dared to invest in the troops, and the two wings dared to press up. Although the tactics have not changed, the effect has changed.

The offense is more three-dimensional. There are more layers and more variations.

The tactics are still defensive counterattacks, but they are more threatening than before, and every time they make the Liverpudlians break out in a cold sweat.

If you can't attack for a long time, you must also pay attention to prevent the opponent's rapid counterattack at any time. The Liverpudlians have slowly become agitated.

What Forest need to do now is to be patient and wait for the opportunity to arise and then take it!

Rafa Benitez made a very bold substitution after a long period of inactivity, and he did not change the backline. He adjusted the forwards.

Replacing Kuyt, who had a mediocre normal game, was replaced by a tall Crouch.

It was a gambling substitution. Knowing that the Forest team would definitely fight back, Benitez's courage in making a substitution is commendable, but it is definitely not a random adjustment on the spur of the moment.

Crouch is different from Kuyt, Kuyt is very comprehensive, but another meaning of comprehensive is "all-round mediocrity", and Crouch is very prominent at one point, which is a good choice to break the deadlock. Although now Crouch is gradually losing his starting striker position at Liverpool. But on certain occasions, he can be quite useful.

For example, at times like this, Forest's dense defence combined with a focus on long-range shooting has left Liverpool unable to find a better way to score goals, with Fernando Torres not being a strong centre-forward, let alone Kuyt.

In this case. Is there a better place to play than Crouch? His height and header ability were a beacon in front of Forest's goal, guiding Liverpool's attack. As soon as Crouch came on, the Liverpool players understood that it was time for air battles.

Whether it's a direct header on goal or creating opportunities for team-mates with headers. Crouch can do better than Kuyt.

Liverpool made a change, but Nottingham Forest said nothing. Don wasn't worried.

Are Pepe and Piqui standing in front of the door as decorations?

Liverpool's pass to Crouch's head was caught by Van der Sar, who was caught between two tall centre-backs and did not jump.

Don didn't start Ayala in this game, just to watch out for Benitez's hand. There are several ways to break the dense defense, the most common of which is long-range shooting, as well as set-pieces, and a strong stumbling center is also one of the means to break the dense defense. Crouch doesn't look as strong as Vieri though. But he wasn't as thin as he looked, and Donn was well aware of that, as Crouch had played under him. After a few years, Crouch is no longer the young boy he used to be, he has accumulated more experience on the football field, and knows how to make reasonable use of his natural body.

How to deal with this adjustment for Liverpool? The tall centre-back, as well as goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, expanded the defensive area, were enough.

The key to solving the problem is not how to freeze Crouch. It's about scoring another goal......

Crouch came on and had a couple of headers after that. Silence again. Because the Forest team's offensive gradually intensified, Liverpool's momentum was pushed back. After the lack of support from the midfield and the wings. Crouch's role is much smaller.

Van der Vaart held the ball in front of the Liverpool penalty area and he made a long-range gesture that split the ball. After Beckham received the ball, Raphinha was very tacit and cut in from behind at high speed. Liverpool's left wing-back Reese saw Raphinha pass Beckham at high speed, straight behind the defence, did not dare to slack off, and followed back to defend.

Raphinha is nothing more than a virtual run, and his role is not to receive passes, but to create an illusion of receiving and attract the attention of the opposition defence. The reason for this tried and tested trick is not that the receiver runs as if he really wants to receive the ball, but that as long as the full-back runs up to assist, it will give the frontcourt carrier an additional choice. The defender must follow, and if he doesn't run, he will be penetrated by the opponent's pass through the entire defense.

Reese ran back after Raphinha and Beckham took the opportunity to whip in a cross.

The soccer ball draws a wonderful arc and falls straight to the back point!

Ruud van Nistelrooy appeared there, he leaped high and prepared his header. Ruud van Nistelrooy is not a centre-forward known for his headers, although he is 1.87 meters tall. But David Beckham's cross is so good that even if you don't know how to head the ball, you just have to jump up and show up on the ball's trajectory and head the ball into the back of the net.

He was joined by Danish centre-back Ager.

In a fierce scramble. Ruud van Nistelrooy falls in the box!

At that moment, no one could tell whether Agger pushed Van Nistelrooy or whether Van Nistelrooy himself fell to the ground. But they all heard the referee's whistle.

Is it a fake fall or a penalty?

The referee points to the penalty spot!

"Penalty! This is truly a major blow to Liverpool! ”

Benitez, who had always been calm and calm, jumped up from his seat, rushed to the sideline in anger, and waved his fist inside in protest.

His team had not yet been beaten by Forest's counter-attack, nor by their own rage, but fell to the hands of the referee! He does not accept such a result, resolutely no!

Equally emotional was Donn. But Donn's fist swing wasn't a protest, it was a celebration.

Whether he faked a fall or a real foul, he couldn't see his position clearly, anyway, now he has a chance to take the lead, and then take advantage of the situation to win this game. The fat that is delivered to the mouth, there is no reason to spit it out!

There was chaos in front of the Liverpool goal, with Liverpool players protesting the decision and Forest celebrating with the Foresters.

Slow-motion replay. It is clear that Agg and Van Nistelrooy do have physical contact in the air. But...... It is unknown whether this level of physical contact would be enough to cause Van Nistelrooy to lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground.

It is impossible for the referee to change the decision, and both the referee and the linesman agree that it is a foul, which is a foul.

Liverpool's protest was invalid and the referee stood on the penalty spot. Pointing firmly at his feet, he asked the Forest to come over and take the penalty.

If the Liverpool players continue to entangle, it's good, yellow cards in their pockets are waiting.

Gerrard kicked the rest of his teammates out. He knew that the sentence could not be changed. Now is not the time to quarrel with the referee here, and take all your anger out on Forest. Moreover, goalkeeper Reyna saved a penalty very well, and Forest's goal was not unavoidable.

In the second half, the stands behind the Liverpool goal were a phalanx of Liverpool fans. From the moment the referee pointed to the penalty spot, the shrill boos rang out, reaching the peak as Ruud van Nistelrooy walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms.

Huge noise disturbances. And the inherent psychological pressure of penalty kicks, coupled with a goalkeeper who is good at saving penalties, the situation is not as bad as you can imagine.

Van Nistelrooy put the ball away and stepped back to shoot.

With the exception of him and goalkeeper Reina, all players from both sides were called out of the box.

The boos overhead did not stop at all, and in the midst of the boos, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth, and the whistle was instantly drowned out by the boos of the Reds fans.

Ruud van Nistelrooy runs. Kick and shoot!

The Dutch striker pushes a shot down the middle. Reyna pounced to the left, which would have been a no-brainer. But Reyna was a little hesitant when he pounced. The power is not great, the speed is not fast, and when the football flies over, it hits his foot and bounces out!

"Reina!"

The boos turned into cheers for a moment, and then abruptly ended the next.

Reyna did save from Ruud van Nistelrooy, but Nottingham Forest were not alone Ruud van Nistelrooy. No one expected that the moment Van Nistelrooy kicked the football, a thin figure would come in. The timing was just right, and the referee couldn't rule him in early.

The ball was blocked by Reina's feet, and instead of flying to the bottom line, it did not fly to the side, but only flew directly back to the middle.

Ruud van Nistelrooy scrambled to make a follow-up shot, but couldn't pull away and couldn't kick the ball.

Behind him, a man appeared in front of the landing point of the football.

Without hesitation, without any fancy moves, he pumped the ball in the air into the empty goal in front of him with one kick.

"Freddie. Eastwood! He appeared in the deadliest position, and Reina could not do anything! ”

Steven Gerrard was the quickest reaction in the Liverpool squad at this time, and he was the first to burst into the box after Ruud van Nistelrooy had a shot, but he was on the left and Eastwood in the middle, five metres apart. He couldn't do anything but look.

There were loud cheers behind the Forest goal, and the Liverpool fans fell silent......

This kind of great joy and sorrow is really ...... Life is full of ups and downs!

Eastwood was thrilled after the goal, and he raised his index finger to the Liverpool fans in the stands opposite, put it to his lips and made a "silence" motion. This brought him a flood of scolding, but he didn't care, and hugged his teammates as soon as he turned around.

Seeing the conceded goal, Benitez slapped angrily. What does it mean to put Nottingham Forest ahead? Look at Don's face next door...... Fools know!

Don was jumping like a monkey on the sidelines with his arms raised at this time, and his face was full of bright smiles, making his relatives happy and his enemies hating.

What to do after taking the lead? That's a stupid question.

Offense, of course! Offensive! Attack again! Seize the opportunity, and Fei Epharai should slow down! Amble!

Don clenched his fist and swung it down.

This championship, win!

After falling behind, Liverpool were going to organise a frantic counter-attack, but five minutes later they found that Nottingham Forest's counter-attack was even crazier......

All Nottingham Forest players know that "a one-goal lead is dangerous, and it is even more dangerous to think that a one-goal lead can win".

Faced with such a situation, even if Liverpool wants to equalize, it has to face a cruel choice: it is a desperate counterattack, risking his life; Or is it because you're afraid of conceding the ball again, waiting until the end of the game in the bogey?

The Liverpudlians chose the first, and the death of the nest has never been a tradition of the "Red Army".

At the last moment of the game, the TV viewers who wanted to sleep because of the previous dull situation finally saw ten minutes of wonderful attack.

The tenacious Liverpudlians scored in the 88th minute when their captain, the most trusted Steven Gerrard, forced the door open with a long-range shot.

Unfortunately, four minutes before that, Forest seized the opportunity of Liverpool's big counter-attack and sneaked up again, and Van der Vaart scored Forest's third goal from close range. It was the goal that sealed the outcome of the game, so Liverpool's final goal looked tragic, as Steven Gerrard rushed into the net to pick it up, but Van der Sar didn't stop him, and the rest of Liverpool looked a little downcast.

They reversed one opponent after another, but the one in front of them made them powerless. Because before you score another goal, they will surely take advantage of the holes in your back line to extend the results. Nottingham Forest are not a soft-hearted team. Think of the frantic counter-attacks they matched Liverpool after scoring their second goal, with every attack from their opponents being their chances to score.

There were three minutes of stoppage time, during which Benitez did not get up from his seat in the dugout.

Today's Liverpool is still the traditional powerhouse Liverpool, but today's Nottingham Forest is no longer the promoted Nottingham Forest of the original.

"It's game over! Congratulations to Nottingham Forest! They are the new UEFA Super Cup winners! This is the second time in the history of their club that they have lifted the trophy! ”

To the collective cheers of the Forest fans, Donn stepped out of the dugout and raised his arms to greet his supporters.

"Tony. Donne, the 38-year-old young manager, who has already won the English League Cup, the UEFA Champions Cup and the UEFA Super Cup, is working with legendary coach Brian Brown. It's the same thing as Clough, but he's younger, so Nottingham Forest fans have more joyous moments to look forward to. ”

'Let's thank Liverpool, the other side of the game, the feud between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool is clearly going to continue. ”
