“yes！ its_goooooal！！ ”

In Freddy? As Eastwood slotted the ball into the back of the net, the stands erupted in loud cheers. All the supporters of the Forest team jumped from their seats with their arms raised.

"This is Nottingham Forest's first Premier League goal of the season! A real first! I didn't expect it to be Arsenal's goal! Nice counter-attack, nice long pass! Albertini's Defoliant Ball! ”

Freddy who scored the goal? Instead of running to the sidelines to clear with the fans, Smithwood turned and ran to the midfield to hold their new captain Albertini tightly.

At least 85 percent of the credit for this goal should go to old Demi.

Seeing the ball go in, Donn and Chris Rac both jumped up from their seats and rushed to the sidelines with their arms raised. He did it! His tactics worked!

'Nottingham Forest lead Arsenal at their home stadium and it doesn't look like it was an easy record-breaking celebration for Arsene Wenger. Despite Tony? Donn has said he doesn't care if the record of 25 years ago is broken, but he doesn't want to lose either. ”

After cheering Eastwood, the Forest fans began singing Albertini's hymn: "We've got an Italian with curly hair!" Don't look at him as thirty-two, if you underestimate him, it won't end well! If you underestimate him, it won't end well!! ”

As a player, it only takes one good performance to win the hearts of the fans.

Albertini, who was surrounded by his teammates, couldn't understand what the fans were singing, it was too noisy, and his ears were full of excited roars. But one thing he was sure of was that his choice to leave Italy and come to England seemed to be the right one!

It's nice to be surrounded in the middle by your teammates, to be expected and responsible, to be shouted by the fans, it's so good...... It was as if he had gone back to his days at AC Milan.

I, Albertini, am far from old!

※※※ Pat? Rice covered his forehead, the ball was lost too suddenly.

Arsene Wenger turned to look at Donne, who was celebrating the goal with his assistant on the sidelines, before standing up. This man can't be allowed to drag the game into the rhythm of Forest, and Arsenal's attacking focus must be shifted to Bergkamp's side.

He was standing on the sidelines and the Arsenal players were all turning their heads to look at him, knowing in their hearts that after conceding a goal, the manager would definitely have the latest instructions.

Arsene Wenger made a gesture to Bergkamp and told him to drop back and support Cesc Fabregas.

Bergkamp nodded.

Although the Dutchman's starting position is as a striker, partnering Thierry Henry, he is actually no worse as a playmaker. He withdrew to organise the attack, to share the pressure on Cesc Fabregas, and to look for opportunities to exploit the holes left by Wood's ascension.

Arsene Wenger's tweaks played a role. Bergkamp and Cesc Fabregas share the responsibility of attacking organisation while also tearing away Forest's defensive focus. Thierry Henry is more flexible in his position, often pulling up to the left to play with Pire. As a result, Forest's backline had to follow Thierry Henry, after all, the Frenchman is Arsenal's most dangerous player.

Moreover, Arsenal's goal did not rely on a Frenchman Thierry Henry, whether it was Pire, or Bergkamp, or Pennant, even Gilberto and Ashley? Cole has the ability to score goals. They have a lot of attack points, and anyone who has the ability to participate in the attack, and the passing and running cooperation of two or three people can pull out the required gaps.

When Henry received the ball smoothly and then turned and slammed the ball to the post. Donn stood up from his dugout seat amid the sound of inhalation at City Stadium.

He also saw that Arsenal had given Bergkamp more of the responsibility of attacking playmaking than Cesc Fabregas...... Now that Arsene Wenger has made a change and Donn has followed suit, Wood's task remains the same, continuing to press Cesc Fabregas, with him at the centre, and the Forest formation as a whole pressing forward. Rather than putting away the defense like a shrunken turtle, Forest, who were ahead of Arsenal, pushed the range of the defense even further.

Donn did not give up on Arsenal's close encirclement, he knows the stakes of Arsenal, and like almost all teams with technical streams, he can't give them the slightest space, can't let them play with their skills, otherwise it will be a dead end for the Forest team on the weak side.

Bergkampra came back to focus on the organization, apparently trying to take advantage of George? The space left after Wood pounced, and in that case, we used the whole to fill in the void. The overall formation moved forward, continued to press Arsenal, and always took the initiative of the game in their own hands.

Pressing forward in formation and creating offside is a natural tactical choice. At the same time, Donn did not limit the attack because he wanted to defend, but instead he asked Ribery and Ashley to do so? Young's two wing-backs also have to be active in providing assists - once Forest have the opportunity to attack, both the full-backs and full-backs must step forward resolutely to suppress Arsenal's attacking force on the wings.

In addition, when attacking, use the most efficient way: never let the ball stay at your feet for an extra second when you can pass the ball. Donn instilled in his players in training that chances and openings are not brought out by dribbling, but by the team's movement and passing. That's where Forest will attack in the future: create chances on the run and put people to death on the run.

Don't always try to go it all by yourself and beat five defenders and then hit the ball into the empty net. They are against Arsenal, not an amateur team.

Despite Arsenal having Pennant and Pire on the wing, Donn doesn't think Ribery and Ashley? Young would be much worse than the two, especially Ribery, and Done even thought Pennant was inferior to the French.

Unlike Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's thinking, Wenger believes that the current Forest team is not at the same level as Arsenal in terms of strength. But Donn believes that what the current Forest team lacks is not quality, but experience, experience in the top flight, which is more important than anything else.

Having faced Arsenal in just three games of the league and having had to fight hard, Donn believes the experience this game can provide him and the whole team with five average games.

Wenger was quick to notice the change in Donne, but he wouldn't make any adjustments. In a sense, the competition between the two sides is not the wisdom of the manager, but the strength of the team.

Arsene Wenger admits that Donne is a lot better now than he was when he first met. For the first time, the youth team manager Tony? Donn will only use a few crooked tricks against Arsenal, and now he can compete tactically with himself...... Looking at George? With Wood active on the pitch, Wenger thought maybe he should have made an effort to poach the youngster...... Although Arsene Wenger himself is not very fond of young men who are technically rough and only play on their bodies, he must admit that this number 13 will become a threat to himself in the future.

The Forest's pressing continued, as it was their home stadium and the referee's whistle was loose, and on several occasions it looked very much like a foul defensive move, and the referee didn't say anything. So even if Wood had overturned Cesc Fabregas in the back and stabbed the ball to Albertini, the Spaniard was sitting on the ground and slapping the turf hard, but the referee couldn't get the referee's attention on him.

To be fair, isn't Cesc Fabregas inferior to George? Wood, but the tactics that Donn developed specifically for Arsenal are too much in line with Wood's characteristics, and at the same time greatly inhibit Cesc Fabregas's characteristics.

After another ten minutes of play, Arsene Wenger versus Pat, who was sitting next to him? Rice shook his head: "Donn has studied us very thoroughly, and we know very little about this Forest team. The scene is too passive......"

Rice nodded in agreement: "I thought he had been arguing with the media for the past four days." ”

"No, Pat. What the Forest team showed in this game is by no means something that can be done in four days. ”

Hearing Wenger say this, Pat was a little surprised: "You mean ......"

"That Tony? From the moment Done was promoted to the Premier League, he treated us as an important opponent. Arsene Wenger's tone was as usual, without the slightest fluctuation. It's funny that the promoted horses see the defending champions as their main rivals? ”

Pat didn't know what to say, Arthur had told him before, be careful of Tony of the Forest? Donne, when asked why he should be careful, the French did not say why. Now he can sort of understand.

"No...... What an ambitious promotion horse......"

Arsene Wenger looked down at his watch, and before he knew it, the first half was already drawing to a close.

Almost all the game time passed in the rush and being robbed, and Arsenal was most proud of it, delicate and smooth, and the gorgeous surname like dancing attack did not play at all.

He no longer thinks about making any adjustments before the end of the first half, and the situation is no longer something that can be changed by yelling on the sidelines and changing people.

Intermission was a good time.

Well, Donn, in the first half, you won...... In the second half, let's fight again!
