Chapter Thirty-Nine: Tough Encounters (Part II)

All the attention of all the players at United is on the three Forest players in the box, even Albertini, and only Roy? Keane blocked it alone.

George? After Wood stopped the ball, there was not a single Manchester United player wearing a red home shirt within five or six meters of him!

No one expected Wood, who had almost never been involved in attacks before, to appear so close to the opposition penalty area.

Even the narrator didn't expect it, he exclaimed, "George? Wood! When did he end up here?! ”

There is no one to interfere with his position, he can fully adjust the distance between the football and himself, and then calmly swing his legs, and then hit the football vigorously...... Albertini did not shout from the side, as usual: "Shoot! Instead, he quietly clenched his fists, as if to help Wood recharge.

Wood looked down at the football at his feet, and Albertini's words kept ringing in his head:

If you don't give it a try, how do you know you can't?

Remember the shooting training you received when you were in the youth team? What did the coach say? Straight arches? …… No matter!

He picked up his right leg.

The "ge_woooooo-wow......" commentator was about to chant Wood's shot in a long voice, but in the end, the shot really made him lose his passion...... Wood shot the ball into the second level of the North Stand with all his might...... Manchester United's goalkeeper Yankee Thiem? Howard was still very nervous before Wood could shoot, but when he saw the football fly out, he just jumped symbolically, without even raising his hand - the ball was still ten meters from the goal!

"Defender Wood cleared the ball and kicked the ball into the stands." The narrator can only describe the shot just now, because it is more in line with the situation just now.

Wood was a little disappointed with his own performance, staring blankly at the stands behind the United goal. Until Albertini came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job." ”

Wood didn't understand why the captain said that, and he looked at Albertini in confusion.

"It's a start, a good start." The kind Italian smiled.

Wood's poor shot was thanked by the United fans with boos...... They're not friendly.

Off the pitch, Krislak saw that Wood had not chosen to pass the ball just now, and that it was rare to shoot directly on goal, and he turned his head to look at Donn. Don saw the confusion and confusion in the assistant coach's eyes, and he shrugged, "Not what I meant. ”

This scene is so familiar...... Don remembered that in the game against Arsenal, Albertini also encouraged Wood to take the initiative to get involved in the attack.

Seeing Albertini run up to comfort Wood after shooting the ball away. Don En had a smile on his face, this veteran, he really found the right one!

Chris Rac asked, "Do you need to remind him, Tony?" ”

Don shook his head: "No, why remind him?" David, don't you think that's good? ”

"But we wasted a great opportunity......"

"I'm willing to waste ten opportunities like this compared to an exciting growth. David, you also came out of the Academy, remember what young players need most? ”

Chris Rac scratched his head: "Uh, I guess it's not the Premier League now?" It's not the same as the youth team......"

'Of course, it's the Premier League. But we have a lot of talented youngsters and why they're playing in our team because we can give them a lot of opportunities than anywhere else. Not only should we not criticize and stop such useful attempts, but we should encourage them, and I think that's no different from being in the youth team. With that, Donn stood up and walked to the sidelines, and then said to George? Wood and Albertini gave a thumbs up.

After doing this, he walked back and sat down in the coach's seat, continuing to say to David? Chris Rac said: "Of course, about George's shot...... I think it's necessary to consider adding more shooting drills to his regular training......"

Chris Rac smiled, "Tony, I thought about you taking George to the youth team training base to find me. What makes you think so highly of him and value him? ”

Done certainly can't say that he took Wood to the academy in the first place to perfunctory that stupid boy.

"Because I see in him a quality that a lot of people don't have: stupid."

"Stupid?" Chris Rac didn't quite understand.

"Hmm...... Because he's stupid, he knows he needs to put in more effort to be on this pitch like everyone else. Because he is stupid, he never dares to slack off, have you ever seen him lazy in training? ”

Chrislak shook his head: "I only see him training himself. ”

"Yes. It's because he knows that he is still a big step away from everyone else, and if he doesn't work hard, he can't become a qualified professional player. To be honest, I didn't see any talent for him to play at all, so maybe he has a better future as a physical athlete. But then his performance completely conquered me and I decided to give him a chance. With that, Donn looked at the court with his chin propped up.

Manchester United are on the attack, George? Wood was behind captain Albertini, eyeing the opposing players warily. And the George who showed up on the sidelines of the Forest training ground for the first time, shouting that he had to train in the first team? Wood, he's complete, more than just looking more like a professional.

He's a real professional now, purer than many players who are more famous than him and who make more money than him.

β€»β€»β€» "George of Nottingham Forest? Wood squandered their best chance to score since the start of the game, and perhaps they will soon regret the rash handling. Because they're up against Manchester United! Wasted opportunities are punished! ”

While the commentator was gushing, Manchester United's attack was overshadowed by George? Wood and Albertini teamed up to defend.

Scholes tried to dribble past Albertini and then draw Wood up to get the ball out.

Albertini hasn't quite shaken it yet, George? Wood had already rushed up for a vicious but not foul frontal tackle. Scholes, worried about injury, jumped up and Wood slipped through his crotch to shovel the ball away.

But United's offensive isn't over yet!

Roy? Keane rushed after Scholes...... Wood also got up from the ground and continued to pounce on the football.

The captain of Manchester United shoots angrily at the ball!

"Royβ€”"

The narrator's howl had just begun, when the ball bounced back.

The muffled sound could be heard throughout the stadium. Keane's powerful shot hit George, who pounced on him to block his shot? Wood's face.

The shot was so powerful that the ball bounced high and flew straight out of the touchline from the middle of the penalty area, while Wood fell backwards and fell to the ground on his back like a sandbag!
