'It was a great chance for Inter to equalise and Veron's steal up front won a penalty! George Wood's mistake was terrible, and he played high and low in this game. Under the frantic frontcourt siege of Inter Milan, there was no outstanding performance, but it allowed Veron to seize this opportunity......"

The commentator was chattering, and both Inter Milan fans and Nottingham Forest fans wanted to shut him up.

"Still young." The guests gave a very apt assessment of Wood's performance.

Meanwhile, in the dugout of the Forest team.

"Young......" Donn sighed as he looked at Wood standing outside the penalty area. To break the ball, he only needed to interfere from behind, and Piqui had already blocked Veron's angle and path in front of him...... When we reorganise at the back, Inter will not have that chance...... Is...... Alas! ”

"Thinking about what to do next, Tony."

"What to do? Keep it up like this...... Even though a draw is good for us, how nice it would be if we could win......" Donn's voice became quieter and quieter, and at the end he didn't speak at all, just staring at the box.

Adriano carefully placed the football, then stepped back, and the referee carefully checked the exit of unrelated personnel from the penalty area, and then blew the whistle to signal that it was ready to kick.

After the whistle blew, the original hustle and bustle of Meacha suddenly fell silent.

Adriano runs, volleys hard!

“goooooal——！！ Adria's post-80s Shaolin abbot, Adriano raised his arms and shouted.

The Meazza Stadium erupted in a tsunami of cheers.

"Inter equalised and the two sides are back on the same page!"

Inter Milan's players pounced on the corner flag to celebrate their goal, while Forest's players were already in the centre circle waiting for the restart.

※※※

The goal was a huge morale boost to the Inter Milan players and the situation did not change much in the following games. The visitors Nottingham Forest were pressed by Inter Milan and were passive for the visitors and all-round dominant for the home team.

At the bottom of the screen, the subtitles of the possession ratio between the two sides were played at the very right time - 69 per cent for Inter Milan and 31 per cent for Nottingham Forest.

And that's not even the most extreme case. At its lowest, Nottingham Forest's possession rate dropped to 27 per cent!

Donn's insistence on "results over process" was evident in this game, and he looked to be more conservative than any Italian footballer.

If he had been in charge of a La Liga team, he would have been ousted countless times. But at Nottingham Forest, hungry for victory, hungry for titles, Forest fans who have been sinking for more than 20 years want such a coach who will stop at nothing to lead them back to glory.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Inter Milan, Nottingham Forest was very embarrassed and thrilling, and Inter missed goals several times. I believe that the hearts of all the Nottingham Forest fans who watched this game in front of the TV are close to their throats.

Nottingham Forest tried to counter-attack, but Albertini was watched closely by Inter Milan and used a rotational foul tactic, with Cambiaso going up first to foul and Veron or Materazci coming in a little later...... In short, on the one hand, it will not allow you to take the ball comfortably, and on the other hand, it will share the risk of taking cards, after all, if Cambiaso is allowed to concentrate on fouls alone, it is likely to lead to two yellow cards.

When Forest played well in the first half, because Albertini was in control of the team's rhythm on the pitch, he knew when to attack, how to attack, when to defend, how to defend. Everyone in the Forest team is familiar with Albertini's line on the pitch, and with a tacit understanding, it is normal for him to be ahead of a team like Inter Milan.

And now, when Albertini can't control the tempo, it's no surprise that the Forest are being suppressed by the opposition......

Inter Milan attacked fiercely on the cheers of the home team's fans, and Don had already risen from his seat. The situation in front of him made it impossible for him to sit still.

"Adriano shoots! Van der Sar holds the ball firmly under him......"

Goalkeeper Van der Sar did not rush to get up and serve after saving the powerful shot in the penalty area, but lay on the ground to rest according to the football, so that the fierce beating heart could calm down. He alone is almost a portrayal of the whole team, under Inter Milan's oppressive attack and defense, almost everyone has to tense their nerves to deal with every attack of the opponent, and dare not slack off.

Then Nottingham Forest's counter-attack came to an abrupt end, with Anelka's long-range shot not causing much trouble for Inter Milan's goalkeeper Giulio Cesar with Inter Milan in control and their fans not even worried about their own defence at all.

Although Donn insisted on letting the team play defensive counter-attack...... However, the current situation is not "defensive counterattack", but now it is pressed by the opponent to "defend" and cannot "counterattack". If this continues, something will definitely happen. He turned to Chrisrak and asked, "How much time?" ”

"It's seventeen minutes into the second half." Chris Rac looked at his watch.

"It's not going to work like this, we have to make some changes. Hopefully, it's still too late...... David, get Arteta to warm up, we need him. ”

Chris Rac nodded, got up and went to call Arteta.

Don turned around and continued to stare at the pitch, still thinking about how to assign specific tasks to Arteta when he returned from his warm-up.

It was at this time that the Inter midfielder broke off Albertini's ball and attacked again. Done saw this and thought that if Arteta was on the pitch, he would be able to share the pressure on Albertini, and the opponent would not have broken the ball so easily.

Before he could recover from that idea, Cambiaso wisely chose to split the side in time when facing George Wood, passing to Figo on the wing. Just when the Forest team thought that Figo would choose to make a fuss on the wing, Figo passed the ball to the middle and gave it to Cambiaso!

George Wood would chase after him, and Cambiaso, after drawing his attention, played the ball to Adriano in the box.

The Brazilian striker leaned on fellow Brazilian Pepe, and instead of passing the ball to Cambiaso, who continued to plug in, he took advantage of the Argentine midfielder's running to attract the attention of the Nottingham Forest backline, and suddenly turned and hit the goal!

Even Pepe didn't expect Adriano to choose to force a shot in such a situation, and the ball went between his legs!

Van der Sar was blocked by Pepe, and it was too late to make a save.

"Adriano! Brace! It's so beautiful! The perfect combination of teamwork and individual skills! The leaders are in the lead, and Nottingham Forest is not in a good situation! ”

"Inter Milan 2:1 reversal! In fact, it was only a matter of time before this goal came, and looking at the performance of the Forest team in the previous period, they played too conservatively! Coach Tony Downe paid the price for his timidity! It turns out that a one-goal lead is like defense and it simply doesn't work! ”
