Chapter 18: The Beginning (Part II)

Cesc Fabregas had the feeling that he was back on that day: muddy pitches, pestering opponents, stubbornly following him, not saying a word, but you could always feel his presence.

What kind of bullshit tactic is this? Start one-on-one marking in the middle circle? I see that you are all empty behind you...... Empty, big and big, as long as I pass it on...... As long as it is passed on, it is a one-time penetration of the surname...... What the hell!

Cesc Fabregas finally managed to get rid of Wood's defense, but he didn't dare to take even one more step, Wood's physicality may be the best he's seen in all these years of playing, as long as he is half a beat slower, he could be re-entangled.

Without bothering to reconfirm the situation ahead, he lowered his head and sent a direct pass. In previous games, the person who received his pass in this position should have been Dennis? Bergkamp, who uses his excellent footwork to take the ball down, then trick the opposing defenders and send the ball into the net as the crowd watches in amazement...... Yes, that's it.

Which hapless ghost will fall at his feet this time?

As soon as he passed the ball, Cesc Fabregas felt a gust of wind blow on the side of his face - Forest's no.13 was quickly returning to the defence. Seeing the back of this person running back, the Spanish kid smiled: It turns out that you also know that you will be free when you press up...... His gaze crossed over to George? Wood, then saw a man in a blue Arsenal away shirt receive his own pass, back number 10, it was the reassuring Dennis!

Bergkamp had just received the ball and one man was eyeing him. Not the George who defended back? Wood, or Ribery who was in the spot, wore a bright captain's armband on his arm and curly hair was none other than the Italian Albertini.

Unlike Wood, Albertini's defensive card position was so good that Bergkamp found himself with no way forward when he received the ball...... He was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled the football to his feet to avoid being snatched by the opponent. If he was facing the No. 13 who only knew how to pounce on the first point, he could have taken advantage of the situation. But the opponent in front of him had to make him pay attention. When he was still playing for Inter Milan, he played against Albertini, who represented AC Milan.

This is not an easy character to deal with...... Pull the ball, turn around, and lean on Albertini. Looking up to see that Wood had been killed, it meant ...... No one is watching the Spanish kid!

Without hesitation, the Dutchman gave the ball to Cesc Fabregas in the back, and then he turned and shook off Albertini and ran forward, two-to-one!

Wood, who had just run back, found the football behind him again, and was stunned for a moment, as if there was a brain short-circuit. The thirty-two-year-old Albertini reacted much quicker than he did, and after seeing Bergkamp turn, he followed suit, in order to make up for the disadvantage in speed, and he was very experienced in inserting himself in the middle of Bergkamp's forward line, and then reached out and pulled for a moment.

Cesc Fabregas understood Bergkamp's intentions, so he didn't let the ball stay at his feet, and went straight to the ball over the top, hoping to pass it to the feet of Bergkamp who cut forward. But the ball was intercepted halfway through, and it was the veteran Albertini who broke the ball!

While he turned to run with Bergkamp, he didn't forget to look back at Bregas's movements, and when he saw the posture of the No. 15 kick-up movement, he knew what the opponent was going to pass, so he decisively turned around again, and when the football came, he jumped up and gave the football to George not far in front? Wood.

Albertini, who landed on the ground, made a "pass back" gesture to Wood, who obediently passed the ball to him. The Italian seems to have the intention of teaching Cesc Fabregas a lesson, the same non-stop direct pass, but at a greater distance, faster and more accurate!

The ball flew high over Arsenal's midfield and towards Forest's right flank, where no one seemed to ...... 'Ashley?' Poplar! Taylor shouted.

Albertini's pass suddenly dropped at a high point, just in the middle of Ashley? Where he could chase in front of Yang, there was no one within ten meters of him in front of him!

When Cesc Fabregas was planning the attack just now, Arsenal went from Pire to Ashley on the left wing? Kerr pressed it all up, not expecting the Forest's counter-attack to come so quickly, and the Italian's pass so suddenly and accurately...... Next as long as Ashley? Young parked the ball and the Forest's counter-attack was secure.

Ashley? Yang looked up at the ball above his head, stretched out his foot, and stopped the ball in front of him, rolling slowly.

"Beautiful!" David in the dugout? Chrislak couldn't help but jump.

"There are only two people in the Arsenal penalty area, Sigan and Toure, and the Forest's counterattack is too sharp!" Martin? Taylor shouted. He really wanted to praise Albertini for his long ball ball just now, but unfortunately he couldn't take care of it now. "Ashley? Yang Chuanzhong! ”

If it weren't for Campbell's injury before the season and the need to be sidelined for two months, French centre-back Sigan would have been denied a start. After Arsene Wenger spent two million to bring him to Highbury, his performance was disappointing, and as a centre-back, his judgment of where the ball would land was simply terrible...... Ashley? Young's cross was accompanied by noticeable spin, and Sigan, who had intended to pounce on the opposition's feet, could only jump up and try to push the ball out. But the ball slipped through his shiny head!

Fall!

At this moment, Sigan's heart was cold...... He knows who the person behind him is, and it's definitely not his teammate Toure, but ...... Forest's powerful centre-forward Viduka!

"Boom!" There were already eager cheers from the stands at the City Stadium.

"Mark? Viduka! With Taylor's accent, Viduka pushed the ball hard towards goal.

Now the only thing Arsenal fans and players can count on is goalkeeper Lehmann, who is less than five metres away from football...... But it's too close, unless God possesses it, or something happens to it...... Sigan didn't get to the top of the ball, but his rise in front of him shook the Australian, and Viduka didn't have time to adjust the angle of his header and could only smash the ball straight into the goal...... As a result, Lehmann was standing in exactly that direction.

It looks like it's a joke, maybe Arsenal won't concede a goal!

Lehmann reflexively jumped back and swung his palm at the ball. That's a terrible move...... Because he is reaching forward, not backward and upward...... He managed to keep the ball out at the cost of falling into the net himself. But the football was not far from him, Toure and Viduka collided together, Sigan pounced on the ground and didn't get up, who else was in the Arsenal penalty area at this time?

The fans announced the answer with a roaring cheer: "EastWooooooooood!!!" ”

That's right, the Gypsy, who had been lying in ambush behind Viduka, finally showed his glory at this time, and in the face of this almost free opportunity, he unceremoniously swept the football into the Arsenal goal! It's as easy as shooting training!

“yes! its_gooooal!! ”

City Stadium is boiling......
