When Forest launched the attack, Villa boss O'Reilly was about to drink water, but he put the water bottle to his mouth and didn't move because he was concerned about the situation on the field. When he saw the football being pushed into the goal by Eastwood, his first action was to angrily smash the level in his hand to the ground, and he didn't care about drinking the water, so he turned around and cursed. And his opponent, Tony? Don threw his arms up to the sidelines, waving his fist at the stolen stands across the side.

The fans who were still celebrating unscrupulously just now are all dumb.

“…… Freddy? Eastwood told the Villa fans that a two-goal lead is not safe! "Narrator Martin? Taylor spoke Donn's mind.

In the second half, the two sides moved their troops again, especially Villa's manager David? O'Reilly must have made a well-established defensive arrangement against Eastwood at half-time. Gypsy never had the same chances as in the first half.

Meanwhile, the Forest backline, led by veteran Hierro, was as solid as a mountain, and it didn't let Villa's Colombian goalscorer Juan? Pablo? Angel (juan_pablo_angel) and Peru's Solano (nolberto_solano) have a chance to make waves. Despite his age and slow turnaround, Hierro's experience and early positioning were able to defuse several Villa attacks.

He was also Donn's most trusted centre-back, but unfortunately his fitness prevented him from playing the full season...... Perhaps a year late in bringing in Hierro, it is destined that there will only be a short one-year relationship between Donn and the greatest centre-back in the history of the Spanish national team and Real Madrid - Hierro signed a one-year contract with Forest, and the Spanish veteran has no intention of renewing his contract - but what can be done, Forest was still struggling in the first division a year ago. At that time, Nottingham Forest could not attract the attention of people like Hierro.

The game was deadlocked, the score was fixed at 2:2, and it was not moved for a long time.

Donn began to make adjustments, replacing the physically exhausted Albertini and the Spaniard Mikel, who came in the winter transfer window? Mikel Arteta has finally made his league appearance for Forest.

This is definitely not a warm-up for the new players to get used to the atmosphere of the game, it is the winner who needs to be put up to help the team break the deadlock. Arteta knew what Donne's substitution meant, and he had high hopes, but isn't that always the case in professional football? He doesn't care about the pressure of these expectations because he knows he won't let the coach down.

I'm not a hairy kid who needs to prove myself, I've proven myself in Glasgow, Scotland, and now I just have to contribute.

From Arteta's first touch on the pitch, that familiar feeling came back to him, a feeling he hadn't been able to find in half a season at Real Sociedad. He knows the style of football, he knows the rhythm of the game, he knows what he has to do every minute on the pitch...... Perhaps, his perennial wandering, from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Holmine, from France to Scotland, has made him feel strange to Spanish football, and he has developed a little affection for the faster-paced English football?

Because Arteta came on as a substitute for Albertini, he naturally had to take on the responsibility of organising the whole team's attack, so more balls were passed to his feet.

After a brief warm-up to get used to it, Arteta began to pass forward and was actively involved in organising the attack.

After a couple of good passes in quick succession, his confidence quickly returned. The Forest's offensive is starting to pick up. Unlike Albertini, Arteta is more imaginative in his dribbling and passing, always making clever passes from places that others don't expect, and the more short the ball, the ball is at his feet, and the Forest's attacking routine will be more abundant, and they can try to combine them from the middle.

With 10 minutes remaining, Mikel Arteta's combined with Franck Franck Ribery managed to deceive Villa's entire backline. At the edge of the box, Arteta didn't pass the ball immediately after picking up the ball and seemed to be waiting for someone. At this point, Ribery cut forward at high speed from the left flank, and his move caught the attention of Villa's right-back De La Cruz, who had to follow back to prevent Ribery from breaking through on his own.

But Arteta didn't pass the ball to Ribery, but ...... "Arteta! Direct pass! No, not Ribery, but ...... Eastwood! ”

Mikel Arteta faced Ribery but passed the ball to Eastwood behind him!

The Gypsies were in an offside position as the Villa defenders moved forward, but Ribery's sudden forward cut forced De La Cruz to drop back so that Eastwood was no longer offside, and Arteta seized the moment in time to pass the ball to Eastwood behind the two centre-backs.

In the face of such an opportunity, Eastwood, who was in good shape in this game, could not waste it, he turned around and raised his foot to shoot!

“its_gooooooooooal！！ The third ball! It was Eastwood's first hat-trick of the season! It's so beautiful! Freddy? Eastwood beat Aston Villa alone, and he was the man of the match and deservedly so...... Optimum! ”

Donn jumped up from his seat, and it wasn't just because they came back from defeat that he was excited about the goal, but because he saw Mikel Arteta's flash of inspiration and Eastwood's outburst. A game is so rich, who is happy if he is not happy?

After the race, Eastwood was the focus of media coverage. And George? The Gypsy story is equally legendary compared to Wood, and the media soon discovered that Eastwood and George? There is also a story between Wood, which greatly stimulates the gossip of the English tabloids.

Eastwood became a Fleet Street celebrity, and the Forest team reappeared in the sports pages of numerous media outlets.

Now Tony? Done's team has 43 points and is still clinging to Liverpool in front of them, and they are the same by a few points, depending on who can't bear the pressure and loses first.

The Forest team has begun to speed up, and it is time to challenge the powerhouses above them one by one.
