The narrator said, "Long time no see, Forest's offensive players," but it's true that Forest's offensive players haven't been seen on TV cameras and TV viewers for a long time.

Since they scored the Barcelona goal, they have been pressed by Barcelona, and the few attacks that have either ended up in failure or have given up halfway, Bendtner has to come back to participate in the defense, let alone the overall attack.

Now, the Forest are attacking again, will the result be the same this time as they have been the previous times?

Unknown.

"Ribery received the ball and it was a very nice offload! Eastwood prepares to pick up ......"

Ribery certainly saw Eastwood, and it was really two different things to be in the middle and on the wing, where his job was simple: break down the opposition and then cross. But in the middle of the pitch he has more options, and coming up to pick up Eastwood is certainly an option, but he can't pass it like that......

Why?

Because he saw Eastwood, the Barcelona players also saw Eastwood who dropped back.

Puyol was following Eastwood, and if he passed the ball through, it would be difficult for Eastwood to do so, as he turned his back to the attack and could barely turn around under Puyol's watch. It was an irresponsible pass and at the same time a pass that was in line with the wishes of the Barcelonans.

It can't be passed on like that. Ribery tilted his head and he saw Ashley. Young is running diagonally from the wing to the middle, and that's a way to do it.

Just as the two were about to cross, Ribery passed the ball to Ashley Young who was running diagonally, and then he ran off the ball himself to the right side, and he and Ashley were on the right side. Yang completed a left-right shift.

Barcelona's defence is retreating quickly, but the players in the front line are not very fast, after all, they are attacking players, not defensive players, and they are required to return to defend as soon as they concede a goal...... Some strong people are difficult.

The Barcelona player thought Ashley. Young will continue to lead to the left after receiving the ball. I didn't expect to run just two. He twisted around and passed the ball to Frank who ran over. Ribery.

Rather than continue to dribble the ball to the right, Ribery redirected himself while receiving the ball and facing the Barcelona goal!

Thanks to him and Ashley. Young's cross-position swap caused no one around him to mark for the time being, and he didn't let go of this opportunity, suddenly shooting from a distance before Marcos pressed up!

"A long shot of high quality!"

The football roared, and Valdés didn't dare to take it hard, so he could only get up. Both fists knocked the ball out.

'For the most part, Ribery has the impression of a winger who uses speed and technique to break down the flanks and then cross, and this long-range shot reminds us that he is also a scorer who can score a maximum of nine goals in a single season!

That's right, Ribery's most successful season in the Premier League was nine goals. It was his first season in the Premier League. It was also that season that his exceptional speed and sharp penetration, as well as his excellent scoring ability, made him the best outside player of the season.

The second season was still very good. But in the third season, after opponents studied his routines, he was no longer as dangerous as he used to be. Coupled with the fact that Donn bought Petrov, who has similar characteristics to him, this season, many believe that Ribery's once impregnable main position in the Forest team is gradually shaking.

In this game, Petrov was sitting on the bench watching the game. There was speculation about whether Ribery was not doing well. Will you be replaced soon?

It's time for a change.

Valdés played a ball that fell to the left side of the pitch, Ashley. Young did not hesitate to cross after receiving it, but unfortunately he was not used to his left foot here, and the quality of the cross was not high, and it was pushed out by Zambrotta, who returned to the defense.

Eastwood lost the battle with Puyol and the Barcelona captain pushed the ball forward in the hope of getting it to Deco or Xavi on the return. The two of them were very close. Whoever catches the ball is good, it's like a double insurance.

Deco is even ready to stop the ball with his chest.

"George. Wood! With an exclamation from the narrator. Deco, who was ready to move, saw a dark shadow suddenly appear on his side from behind, and it was from the air......

George. Wood flew in the air, leaning back, straining his waist and abdomen, and slammed the soccer ball back with his head.

Deco and Xavi were both out of the air and football was back in the Barcelona half.

This time, it was Eastwood who received the football, not Puyol.

After receiving the ball, Eastwood did not turn around, but passed directly back to Mikel, who had already plugged in. Arteta.

Nottingham Forest's attack is in full swing.

Donne's requirement for the team is to retreat quickly and attack quickly, in a word, fast!

This was well reflected in this game.

Forest attacked very quickly, and when Arteta received the football, he was surrounded by routes that could be passed to him. Whether it's passed to Ribery or Ashley. Young, or Eastwood, Bendtner, or even George not far behind. Wood, as well as Gareth who was plugging in. Bell, he can pass it all.

The biggest difference between Nottingham Forest and Barcelona is that the Forest team does not care about the situation, if there is the most direct passing route, it must choose that one.

Arteta looked around and decisively passed the football to the heart of the team's playmaking team in the second half. Ribery.

Ribery had already reached the right flank when he received the ball, and Zambrotta thought Ribery would break through from the flank. No matter how you look at the transposition between Yang, it looks like an ordinary left and right side crossing.

Ribery deceived Zambrotta by making a feint of a straight break - he didn't really break through, but took advantage of Zambrotta's shift of gravity to suddenly flick the ball in the middle and cut in!

The left foot will cut inside from the right to the middle, what is the most probable and best thing to do?

"Watch out for his shots!" Valdés shouted.

That's right, it's a direct long-range shot with a good foot.

As if to match Valdés, Ribery picked up his left leg in a lateral run and he was about to shoot!

Marcos pounced desperately to block Ribery's long-range shot, completely oblivious to what was behind him.

Ribery could see clearly that he didn't shoot. It's just a matter of pulling the Barcelona backline out. It's just a fake move. Marcos stepped forward, and Barcelona's originally consistent defense showed a gap that could be exploited.

The Frenchman's legs came down, turning into a push, and the ball rolled quickly past Marcos into the box.

"Nice straight stopper!"

It was indeed beautiful, and before Ribery passed the ball, Bendtner had already slashed into the empty position. The ball arrived, and Bendtner got up and shot at the goal when the angle was not too big!

If Valdés hadn't reacted quickly and moved in time to block Bendtner's shot, the pass in front of the box might have really scored.

The soccer ball hit Valdés' leg and flew off the baseline.

There was a loud inhale from the stands at Camp Nou. Those Barcelona fans were scared

After seeing Bendtner and Ribery make a wonderful combination, Donn had already stood up from his seat, clenched his fists, and waited for the moment when he raised his arms and shouted to celebrate the goal, but he didn't expect Bendtner's shot to be blocked by Valdés.

The emotional ups and downs made him almost unable to control his body, jumped up, and fell to one knee again. A punch on the top. "Such a great opportunity...... I didn't even get in! I didn't even get in! ”

He was still babbling as he got up and walked back to the dugout.

"At least we have one piece of good news – Ribery is doing very well." Chris Rac comforted him.

Tang nodded beside him: "It's even better than we imagined." ”

"But it's not ......enough," Donn muttered, "we need to put more pressure on Barcelona. With that, he turned back and took a deep breath as he stood on the sidelines. Then yelled: "George! Rush up and hurry up when attacking! If you can't run, I'll replace you! ”

"Nottingham Forest's attack has picked up, which is a real blessing to our neutral audience. The scene was very good, and the offensive of both sides was of great quality. Now the suspense is ...... Who will be the first to break this awkward impasse in equilibrium? ”

Forest's corner was headed over by Thuram and ambushed outside Arteta tried to shoot straight from distance, but it went wide. This made Tang En, who was off the field, angry in the thigh, and he didn't want to see his players rush in the face of this situation. He would have preferred to see Arteta opt to unload the ball and reorganise the attack rather than kick it into the stands.

Barcelona continued to attack Forest's goal after sending it off, and the situation on the pitch was deadlocked, and it looked like everyone had chances, but every chance always passed them. Fate seems to play tricks on the mood of the fans of both teams, sometimes making them nervous, sometimes relieving them, sometimes excite. Sometimes it frustrates them.

Twenty minutes of the second half gradually passed in such a stalemate.

Don didn't make a substitution, he was waiting for his chance. He believes Rijkaard will not be willing to take a point at Camp Nou. You're definitely going to start coming in at the last minute, and that's your chance.

In the eyes of everyone, Donn should be very satisfied with this situation, in fact, he has exactly the same idea as Rijkaard - he does not accept defeat, and he does not accept a draw!

After 73 minutes of the game, Rijkaard finally couldn't sit still and he had to make the first adjustments.

Brazilian full-back Belletti replaced Thuram, which was not a defensive change, Belletti has a very good assist ability, and Rijkaard replaced him to strengthen Barcelona's wide attack.

Seeing the substitution, Donn also got up from his seat and called Crislak back to Van Nistelrooy who was warming up, Bendtner was still a little close, and he now needed a world-class center forward with experience and good awareness. To be clear, Don needed a terminator.

Bendtner and Van Nistelrooy are still worse in comparison.

After calling Van Nistelrooy to his side, Don looked up and observed his expression, nothing out of the ordinary.

"I have only one request." Donn raised his index finger and said to the Dutch goalscorer, "Try to score as much as you can." ”

Van Nistelrooy nodded. He likes it, he's an experienced goalscorer and if a manager is babbling in his ear, he'll just feel like he's being underestimated and not getting the trust he deserves.

"Go ahead, them well!"

Ruud van Nistelrooy was substituted. Bendtner ran down quickly. Don grabbed him and said, "You're doing a good job, Nicky. ”

"Thank you, Boss, but I didn't ...... the ball just now."

Donn interrupted Bendtner's self-reproach with a smile: "No matter how good a striker is, he can't guarantee a goal with every shot." If you're not reconciled, go back to training and practice shooting! ”

"Both sides made offensive adjustments and it seemed that in the final moments of the game, both teams were not willing to settle for this 1-1 draw. It's such an exciting thing! ”

After Donn yelled at Wood, Wood did get in faster and more resolute when attacking. Of course, there will be more space behind him for Barcelona to attack.

The balance between offense and defense has always been a big problem for teams, coaches and players, and Donn doesn't expect Wood to excel in this regard. Strengthening the offense necessarily weakens the defense. The price of a solid defense is to sacrifice a lot of opportunities to counter-attack.

This should be a multiple-choice question that only managers need to do.

With twenty minutes to go, Donn went on the attack.

Ruud van Nistelrooy being sent on was a clear signal.

The Dutchman is more experienced and has a better ability to pick up the ball in front of goal than Bendtner, with Eastwood and Franck Ribery to assist him...... It looks like Donn is determined to win this game.

The consequences of this are...... Wood relaxed his marking on Ronaldinho and Barcelona will also have plenty of opportunities to attack.

Now it's up to us to see who can catch the ......

Ronaldinho gets rid of George. Wood's defence then interfered with the ball and passed the ball to Eto'o, who had a very depressed game. His speed was not much to play under the dense defence of the Forest team, and he could only try to shoot more after receiving the football, or pass the ball out again.

The shot came as Donne asked the defence to push Samuel Eto'o out of the box before the game. Anyway, the farther away from goal, the better, and Samuel Eto'o now has to rely more on long-range shots. He now found that the Forest's defense seemed to be a little loose, and he was going to rush straight in!

With a nimble and swift change of direction, Eto'o squeezed past Kompany, who was defending him, intending to squeeze through the gap. Just as he was about to succeed, Pique rushed up to fill the gap.

He kicked the ball out before Eto'o. Then he collided with an African cheetah that couldn't stop the car, and the two fell at the same time. Deafening boos rang out again from the stands, and Barcelona fans naturally thought it should have been another penalty, but the referee did not award it and signaled for the game to continue.

Pique's kick out of the ball goes to Ashley. At Young's feet, he didn't pass forward, because Barcelona's pressing was very timely this time, waiting for him to adjust the football. There's no room left to send forward. He can only defend the ball on the flanks or wait for his teammates to come up and support. Either kick the ball on the Barcelona player, pop off the touchline and get a throw-in.

To be honest, the second option can only be a move out of desperation, because once that means that Barcelona have succeeded in their defense. They blocked a fast break from the Forest.

The first option was a bit more difficult, as Zim Bonda tried to pick him up, but he was followed closely by Eto'o. What about Arteta? The location is not very good, I can't confirm where he is.

"Here!" Right here at Ashley. Young was about to take a throw-in when he heard the captain's voice.

As soon as I looked up, George. Wood appeared right in front of him, and there was no one around him yet. The Barcelona players apparently didn't think of Giorgio either. Wood will pop up here

Ask the ball to participate in the offense. Ashley. Yang no longer hesitated, and immediately passed the ball, and he turned around the outside of the field and continued to run forward. Here's what he thought - get out of here so Wood can pass the ball to himself for a penetrating two-one! After all, after more than half a season of first-hand experience in training and competition, Ashley. Young is still well aware of Wood's ability to pass long balls and knows this is the most likely way to tear apart Barcelona's defence.

Because of his accelerated run, he ripped away Barcelona's Deco, and the Barcelona players also thought that Wood would choose to pass the ball at the first time, just in time to play Ashley. The advantage of Yang's fast speed. Everyone was trying to prevent Wood's pass, but Wood surprisingly chose to dribble the ball himself!

Wood doesn't dribble fast, but it's steady. Deco followed Ashley. Young ran for a while and found that Wood didn't mean to pass the ball. Turned back to defend George. Wood.

Wood didn't continue to dribble the ball in the face of Deco. Instead, he passed the football to Mikel, who ran up with him. Mikel Arteta, who in turn passes the ball to Gareth, who follows up from the left wing-back position. Bale, the attention of the Barcelona players has shifted to the wings with the football. Bale suddenly kicked a diagonal pass horizontally!

The ball passed between the players on both sides, neither of them intercepted, and finally landed at the feet of Wood!

He didn't go back after passing the ball, but continued to respond forward. Bale saw him and brought the ball over.

At this time, Wood was only ten meters away from the top of the Barcelona penalty area, and it was not easy to run this distance, where Barcelona erected a barrier. Hold back Nottingham Forest's attack.

Puyol directed the backline to press for offside, and as soon as Wood passed forward, either Forest's two forwards were offside, or no one received it at all.

At the same time, Deco continued to press on Wood, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to steal.

Pass, or bring your own?

Wood looked at the large expanse of space ahead. Suddenly got up and sent the ball to the right wing.

It was also empty now, but a second later, a running figure appeared in the TV camera. Poplar!

He's been running since just now. But when he realized that Wood wasn't passing the ball to him, he stopped. Later, when Wood received the ball for the second time and was blocked by Barcelona's offside position, he keenly spotted the overlooked side corridor. Ashley. Young didn't know about George. Whether Wood will see this empty hallway, and whether he will run up to Wood will pass the football to his side.

But if you run, it's just an empty run at most, and if you don't run, you won't have a chance at all. He opted for a high-speed front insertion.

It's not an offensive routine that has been practiced over and over again in training. Wood didn't turn to look at Ashley either. Where exactly is Young, but he sent the football exactly there, to Ashley. Young's feet.

"How did he see it?" The narrator's exclamation was at the same time Rijkaard's question.

Everyone is paying attention to Wood, who is holding the ball in the middle, and Barcelona's defense is also unconsciously shrinking to the middle, intending to completely jam this midfielder who is not good at attacking and dribbling.

Unexpectedly, Wood suddenly passed a ball that was out of his field of vision, and with a stabbing sound, it tore through Barcelona's defense.

Ashley. Jan after receiving the ball on the wing. In front of him was a large blank strip, and he adjusted the ball diagonally. He rushed to the penalty area with the ball.

Zambrotta desperately returned to defence and didn't look hopeless at Ashley. Yang entered the danger zone and stopped him.

Young picked up his feet, whether he was about to cross or shoot, and Zambrotta strode up and stretched out his feet to block.

It's not a shot, but it's not a cross either. Ashley. Jan passed the ball to his diagonus, near the penalty spot.

Eastwood and Ribery in front of the goal did not receive the ball, but it was Van Nistelrooy's professional sensitivity that made him run to the goal and suddenly withdraw, just in time to receive the ball, without hesitation, a glance!

Valdés' reaction speed is amazing, and although there is usually a lot of criticism about him, his performance at this moment is amazing.

He ran to block the near corner and saw the ball come back, then immediately turned and ran towards the middle of the goal, and halfway through the run, he saw Ruud van Nistelrooy shoot with his foot. Valdés' body immediately rose into the air and pounced on the football.

He pounced on the football!

Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot didn't go in!

The Forest players had intended to raise their hands to cheer for the goal, but this time it was replaced by cheers from the Barcelona fans in the stands behind the goal.

They were about to chant Valdés' name, but the first syllable had just exited, and the storm in front of the door had changed.

Valdés tried hard to save the ball for the first time, and he did his best, he didn't have the strength to shoot the ball farther, and the ball fell in front of the goal, while Valdés himself had already fallen on it, struggling to get back on his feet, and he already smelled danger.

The soccer ball is right in front of your eyes, in the palm of your hand...... There is about a palm's distance, and unfortunately, the danger happens to be a palm's distance.

Ribery was about to rush in to grab the first point, but he didn't expect Ashley. Yang passed to Van Nistelrooy behind him, he thought he was going to run for nothing, but he didn't expect Van Nistelrooy's shot to not go in, but was saved by Valdés, and what he didn't expect was that the saved ball happened to fall not far in front of his feet!

A godsend!

Ribery, who was about to shoot, suddenly felt a powerful pull coming from behind him, trying to pull him down at . Obviously, this was done by Barcelona centre-back Marcos, who was leaning behind him.

Valdés is also trying to get up from the top and get the ball back on his feet.

How can I make you get your wish?!

Ribery didn't fight Marcos in front of the goal-line and he didn't have time to see who had the most strength right now. He took advantage of Markosla's own strength and threw his body out, thus freeing his feet and using them for more important things, such as ...... Twist and shoot!

Valdés saw that his palm was approaching the football, perhaps only half a palm. But in the next moment, the football was gone, and only a cloud of grass clippings was raised.

"Frank. Ribery! He scored! Fell in front of Barcelona with Marcos, fouled? No, no fouls! The referee signaled that the goal was valid! Nottingham Forest lead Barcelona for the second time at Camp Nou! Look at Tony. Donn's excitement on the sidelines, ha, as if he was the one who scored the goal! Nottingham Forest is like a foggy, dangerous jungle that traps Barcelona inside. Will Rijkaard's side be able to get out? They're running out of time, seventeen minutes to go! ”

In one shot, Don swings his fists into the sky and growls with his mouth open. A little farther away, Rijkaard stood on the sidelines, his hands around his chest, biting his lower lip and looking solemn.

In the background for the two men is the blurred Camp Nou stand, like a sea of red and blue waves.
