Chapter Twenty-Four: Millwall the Mighty (Part II)

Walker also stood up in protest. Just when they were all unhappy with the referee's decision, Millwall, who was on the pitch, launched a quick attack.

Wise passes the ball to Cahill in front. Don then saw Cahill dribbling the ball along the wing and past Gareth. Williams. After entering the 30-meter area of the forest team, he made a false shake and suddenly cut inside in disguise!

This tricked Forest right-back John, who came up to defend him. Thompson. Next he dribbs laterally, Eugen. Pope came up to press, he put his hand on the German youngster, and continued to dribble to the middle.

At this point, Millwall's forwards were slashing into the box, pulling Forest's defence...... While watching this scene, Donn's mind suddenly came to mind the scene he saw at the 2006 World Cup...... Thiem, who also wears the No. 4 jersey. Cahill, at the top of the box, barely allowed to run...... "Don't let him shoot!" Foul! Fuck ......," Donn yelled. But his voice was immediately drowned out by a loud cheer.

No.4 Cahill suddenly shoots with his feet in the middle of a lateral run!

Football from Michael. Dawson and Wes. Got through the cracks between Mogan! Bringing up a gust of wind and skimming low over the turf, the Forest goalkeeper Darren . Ward's hand pounced on the net before it swooped in!

“goooooooooooal! Tim. Cahill! What a beautiful long-range shot, he single-handedly defeated the entire Forest defence! Twenty-three-year-old rising star! Unparalleled momentum! Millwall leads at home! ”

Millwall's players hugged together to celebrate the goal, while Donn and his assistant Walker complained to the fourth official about Muscato's foul.

"That's a foul! The shovel behind you doesn't blow it, what else are you blowing?! Do you have to wait for that damn Australian to shovel my player's leg off and you guys? Don spat at the fourth official with his mouth wide open.

Millwall's centre-back, vice-captain Kevin Murphy. Muscat is also considered "notorious" in England, and even has the title of "First Butcher".

Not long ago, one of Charlton's players was tackled by him and although he received £750,000 in retirement compensation, the ball could never be kicked.

There is a long list of names that fell at the feet of the centre-back, who is less than 1.8 meters tall: Bellamy, Dugarry, Lazzaridis...... Thankfully, Johansen dodged at a critical moment, otherwise his name would have been on the list immediately.

While Donn was chattering about the fourth official, Millwall's head coach McClay also came up to join in the fun, and he sarcastically said to Donn: "Mr. Donn, you'd better find your own problems than the referees." ”

Don stared at the other with wide eyes: "You cheap and good bastard......" He really wanted to punch that villainous bastard, but unfortunately he would have to follow - McClairy was naturally taken straight to the hospital.

The Millwall fans who saw the scene on the sidelines from the stands naturally booed Donne, and the fans who were close to him shouted insults at Tony. Donn, the voice was clear and audible.

The fourth official, who was sandwiched between the two coaches, had to play fifty boards each, and each of them gave a warning: "Give me an honest back, if anyone walks out of your coach's command area again, I will let the referee send you to the stands!" Go back, go back! ”

He waved his hand. Millwall's head was held high, like a winning rooster, and walked back with square steps. As for Donne, he was still scolding in his mouth, and he was very unwilling to go to the coach's seat. In fact, he knew in his heart that as long as the referee decided that the goal would be scored, no matter how much trouble he made, it would be impossible to change the result. This is not the time of the 1982 World Cup in Spain, when the crown prince of a small West Asian nation threatened to withdraw from the game and the referee changed the score.

Still didn't hold it! The form became more and more unfavorable, and Millwall, who had a goal in hand, could have retreated to half-time and then used their brutal defence and home momentum to block Forest's comeback and keep the score 1-0 until the end.

This was the last thing Don wanted to see.

When the game resumed, Millwall's performance seemed to confirm what Donn had just thought. They deliberately recycled the defence and then used a ferocious and brutal defence to stop the Forest's counter-attack.

David. Johansen was assaulted twice more by Muscat in the space of fifteen minutes, and when he limped to his feet, the perpetrator was punished with little more than a verbal warning from the referee.

In this way, the Forest's players were furious by a defense like Millwall, and the fire burned amidst the incessant boos, heckles and ridicule of the home fans.

Young and vigorous Eugen. Pope saw his teammates being violated by that Muscat again and again, and was determined to find an opportunity to take revenge on him and let him know that the Forest team was not easy to mess with!

When Muscat had just broken the ball with a tackle that was suspected of being fouled, he rushed up quickly, looking like a ball grab, but in fact put his arm on the opponent's side, and then he slammed the unprepared Muscat off the ground!

The referee's whistle blew and the surrounding Millwall players rushed up, as did the Nottingham Forest players. There were huge boos from the stands.

The scene was chaotic.

"This bastard!" Donn scolded Pope off the pitch, "Isn't that just Millwall's trick? Too young! ”

Under the referee's hurried whistle and the desperate dissuasion of several players on both sides who were still sober-minded, the fight finally did not start. The referee put Eugen. Pope called out and gave him a yellow card.

As a result, this caused displeasure among Millwall's players, who felt that such a deliberate foul should not be given a red card. The referee ignored their complaints, called Muscat aside and gave him a few words of warning. Muscat thought it was all right, and his mouth was still babbling and complaining. Unexpectedly, the referee also raised his hand and showed a yellow card in front of him!

Millwall's players are rushing around the referee again. The boos in the stands also turned the subject into the referee on duty.

Donne, who saw this scene on the sidelines, snorted: "It's cheap and good, from the head coach to the players, to the fans!" Bastard! ”

Walker sighed, he couldn't do anything in the face of a game like this, everything was not in their favor.

"Des, how long is it until the end of the first half?" Don asked casually when he heard Walker sigh.

"Nine minutes." Walker looked at his watch and said. "Tony, it's not too bad...... At least Pope wasn't sent off and we didn't concede more goals......"

Donn interrupted him: "You'd better not say that before the first half is over...... In addition, Pope will miss the Carabao Cup semi-finals because of the yellow card - if we can make it to the semi-finals. Guinelson is also dangerous, having also been shown a yellow card in previous games. ”

Hearing Donn say this, Walker didn't know what to say for a long time with his mouth open. The situation was worse than he imagined...... "Let the team recycle as a whole, don't press it, lest you be counter-attacked by Millwall, and before the end of the game is the easiest time to concede goals." Donn commanded, and Walker got up to convey his intentions.

Now they can only hope that the score will not change much at half-time. 0:1 can still be pulled, and 0:2 is very difficult to pull back in this case.

The referee dispersed the pesky Millwall players who surrounded him like flies, and Muscato's yellow card was as irreversible as the scoreline. In fact, they should have been glad the referee had only pulled out his cards now, otherwise the centre-back would have done enough to get him sent off twice.

The game resumed, and as soon as the Nottingham Forest players got the ball, there were louder boos in the stands than before. Millwall fans think Eugen. Pope should have been sent off outright, and they even thought the entire Nottingham Forest squad should have been sent off.

The frenetic home fans then began verbally attacking the Forest players playing on the pitch, insulting their entire family and all their female relatives, in a way they wanted to anger the Forest players. Not only that, but they also tried to storm the away stands where Forest fans were.

The entire Newden Stadium seemed to be the scene of a noisy foul language competition. This kind of profanity and boos only stops for a moment when the Millwall players are in possession of the ball. As soon as a Forest player touches the ball, the noise starts again. It's really a well-trained Kanbi Symphony Orchestra.

Don didn't take such noise to heart, he has led the team to play so many away games, and this is not the first time he has seen such a scene. Although the voice sounded as if he was about to have a heart attack, it couldn't affect his mood anymore.

Suddenly, from the stands behind the coach's box, there was a burst of singing, from far to near, from small to large, more and more clear. Don wasn't the only one who heard it, but even the players on the bench and the members of the coaching staff stood up in shock.

Then the sound spread to the whole stand, and the Millwall fans drank red and sang excitedly with their arms raised:

"There's a kid named Gavin! He used to love Nottingham Forest! Now he was lying on the ground, his face was trampled to pieces! Rotten! Go home! Nottingham bastard, that dead ghost is your role model!! Oooo Gavin Gavin! Rotten! yes yes yes! Gavin Gavin! Rotten! ”

Donn's heart pounded, almost stopping beating.
