"A series of beautiful mid-lane combinations, two in a row! George. Wood's powerful volley! The ball bounced off the crossbar, hit Casillas' back and bounced into the back of the net...... Nottingham Forest took the lead at the Bernabeu! ”

"The captions count the goal as an own goal by Casillas, but we have to remember George. Wood's outstanding performance on this attack was that it was his long-range shot that caught Casillas off guard...... In fact, after the goal, the Forest players also surrounded Wood and congratulated him. ”

George. Wood was indeed surrounded by his team-mates in the centre and was able to score first in the final, which was much better for the rest of the game. So they don't care if it's an own goal or not, the important thing is that now they are 1-0 ahead of Real Madrid.

There was a burst of boos from the stands, and it was not known if the boos were directed at the Nottingham Forest players or for Real Madrid, who were scored.

Poor Casillas got up from the ground, turned and fished out the ball in the goal, kicked it into the middle circle, and still muttered in his mouth. He must have been complaining about why he was so unlucky, and when he pounced, the ball just bounced back, bounced back and hit him, and hit him just in time......

He didn't even know why it was happening. When he was brave in front of goal and saved shots that were impossible to save, the fans called him "Saint-Igor" and he was like a god possessed. But at this moment, God and the light were far away from him.

Fortunately, he is a goalkeeper, and the psychological quality of goalkeepers has always been strong. He muttered for a moment, then pursed his lips and said no more.

Michel was a little unhappy with the fact that Real Madrid had conceded first, and after seeing the goal conceded, he jumped up from his seat, waving his arms and babbling and complaining. He's complaining about Real Madrid's defensive problems in the middle and about bad luck......

The Nottingham Forest players were still celebrating their goals, and they were unattended by the overwhelming boos. Michel pulled Ribery to the sidelines and told him what to look out for in the rest of the game.

“…… When they're ahead, they're going to counter-attack, they're going to shrink the line, and we have to press it up. ”

Ribery nodded in agreement, but he didn't really have much idea, what the manager said was what he said.

"Be more resolute when you attack forward, and if you don't have the support of your teammates around, you shoot from distance!" Michelle pointed to the Forest goal and said, "George. Wood is on your guard, you can rip him out of the middle, tell Russ, and let him push forward a little more. ”

Ribery knows it's about making himself a decoy, and Diarra's attacking quality is good, with good passing and dribbling.

'They know how to suppress our wings and we do the same. Suppress their wings so that their wings can't fight back. Tell Ronaldo and Higuain, be more resolute, don't be afraid, if they want to break through, then break through! Go ahead! ”

Ribery took the order and left.

Don sneered when he saw Michelle calling Ribery back to arrange tactics alone. This kid is now at the core of Real Madrid, and he's doing well.

※※※

'Twenty-three minutes of conceding is probably a good thing from another point of view, so that at least Real Madrid have 67 minutes to equalise.

The game restarted with a backward Real Madrid launching a frantic comeback against the Forest. Their momentum forced Nottingham Forest to shrink their defence and switch to the defensive.

The commentator was a little smug because what he had said came true: "I said that if Nottingham Forest are ahead, they will defend and counter-attack. I'm not wrong, Tony. Don recycled. The excitement of the next game will depend on when Real Madrid will be able to open the door for Forest......"

Franck Ribery became the heart of Real Madrid's attack, organising the attack and occasionally testing Akinfeev's concentration with a long-range shot.

Pepe was in a very high mood today, and on several occasions Wood had already tagged Ribery, and he still rushed to defend the same target.

Don only thought it was Pepe's excitement and didn't take it to heart. Anyway, his and Wood's two-man defense did make Ribery a little scrambling, tired of parrying, and didn't have much energy to organize the attack.

It wasn't until the 31st minute that Pepe brought down Ribery on the edge of the box and the referee gave Real Madrid a direct free-kick. Donn then patted his thigh in the dugout and complained: "Is he trying to break Ribery's leg?" This bastard! Watch the action! ”

He received a yellow card for the foul. It was a foul from behind that swept Ribery straight down as he was protecting the ball.

Real Madrid fans booed Pepe. Ribery fell to the ground, clutching his ankles in pain. Michelle angrily stood up and rebuked the Forest for their atrocities. Don En scolded Pepe in private, and said nothing.

Ribery eventually got up from the ground, still limping a little, and instead of glaring at Pepe like the other players, he flashed to the side.

Pepe didn't let him go, still staring at him with unrelenting eyes.

Bell took his hand next to him: "Relax, Pepe!" ”

"I just don't like him." Pepe said as he stared at Ribery viciously.

"Look at where you fouled." At this time, Wood also walked back to Pepe, and said that he had a serious face.

Pepe glanced at it and pursed her lips.

The place where he fouled was just a little in front of the big penalty line.

'It's nothing, it's too close, it's not a good distance to take a free-kick.' It seems that there is some truth in what he said.

"It's better to be like this." Wood turned to the wall with a blank face.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Pepe. Forest's players agreed it was too close to be a good position to take a free-kick.

The commentator agrees: "Eighteen meters from the goal...... This distance is too close, and it will either hit the human wall directly or rise above the beam. ”

Cristiano. Ronaldo stood in front of the ball and it looked like he was the one who took the free-kick.

Ronaldo's prowess at long-distance free-kicks seems to confirm everyone's point.

Pepe's foul may seem sinister, but in fact it may be the safest?

The Real Madrid players didn't try to squeeze into Nottingham Forest's wall and didn't seem to expect much from the free-kick.

Aron. Seeing this, Mitchel was going to wait in front to prepare a counterattack, but was called back by Wood to line up the wall. His height of two meters and two is very eye-catching in the human wall. Wood placed him in the most dangerous place, guarding the far corner of the goal, where Akinfeev was furthest away.

After waiting for the wall to be lined up, the referee signaled that Real Madrid could kick off.

Ronaldo stood behind the football, legs apart, took a deep breath and then ran up.

He's got a bit of a long run, and he's probably going to volley hard in the hope of penetrating the Forest's wall. But when he ran behind the football, he toe up!

The calves swing quickly, but the amplitude of the thighs is small.

The soccer ball passed over the wall, not to the far corner, but to the near corner!

Akinfeev didn't expect Ronaldo to play like that, he had chosen to pounce on the far corner, and his body weight shifted with it, only to realize that the ball flew towards the near post. But it was too late for him to adjust his center of gravity, and for a moment his body froze in place, watching the football fly through the wall at its lowest height and fly straight into the goal.

This......

As if he had been hit by a football, Akinfeev instantly lost his center of gravity and all his strength, and fell backwards into the goal.

Pepe also stared at the football inside the door as if he couldn't believe it. Behind him, there were jubilant Real Madrid players.

"!" Don yelled below.

Michelle excitedly rushed back to the dugout from the sidelines and hugged the assistant coaches.

"Ronaldo's direct free-kick scores!" The commentator shouted excitedly, this time he was happy for Real Madrid's goal from the bottom of his heart - Nottingham Forest's defensive counterattack failed, this game is even better!

Donn must have been aggrieved if he knew that the commentator was the idea, because he didn't think about playing defensive counterattacks after taking the lead......

"Nice direct free-kick! It wasn't a particularly good chance to score, but Ronaldo's unique free-kick arc still went around the wall and flew into the goal! Akinfeev was completely deceived, he did not react! ”

This time there was a huge cheer from the Bernabeu stands, and the white fans finally waited for the moment to raise their eyebrows.

Donn was still babbling: "Such a goal...... Such a foul ...... I also got a yellow card! I really can't figure out what that foul is good for! ”

Eastwood smiled wryly, thinking he knew why. There are some things that can only be said between players, and no matter how much relationship the boss has with them and how high his prestige is, he will not fully understand the mind of each player.

Pepe, for example, has said privately in the dressing room more than once that he looks down on Ribery. The contempt is not because he defected to Real Madrid for money, Pepe is not a saint, and he knows that he plays professional football to make money. The reason he looked down on Ribery was because Ribery chose to leave at a time when both the boss and the team were in trouble. He had been looking for a chance to get revenge on Ribery, and this final finally gave him a big chance.

Real Madrid were even more energetic after the equaliser, and their two flanks were completely alive to suppress the momentum of the Forest's counterattack. Amid the cheers of the home fans, they launched a series of attacks into the heart of the Forest team, and on several occasions they hit the front of the Forest goal, leaving the Forest defenders embarrassed.

Donn left the dugout after Real Madrid's goal and stood on the sidelines, making different body language depending on the situation on the pitch. When Real Madrid pressed into the goal, he would clench his fists, straighten his waist and lean forward, as if his muscles were tense. When the Forest team counter-attacked with the ball, he put his hands around his chest, giving the players the feeling that their coach was confident, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

Television cameras also frequented Donn, and sometimes he was on the sidelines really better than on the field.

In fact, Don Eun didn't want to be on TV for a close-up, he was nervous......

No matter how he behaved before the game, he acted casually and without anyone in his eyes...... Nor can he deny that Real Madrid have a big advantage at the Bernabeu, and that advantage is sometimes even decided in the final. So he had to deal with it carefully. The first goal was a good sign and took the pressure off, but Real Madrid equalised in less than ten minutes. At this moment, Real Madrid's morale is high, and the Forest team will inevitably be hit, and if you are not careful, the situation on the field is likely to be reversed.

Now the Forest team is trying not to let Real Madrid completely overpower them. George. Wood was one of Forest's brightest stars at one time, with his tireless movement at the back and a ferocious but clean defence, helping the team to a narrow draw with Real Madrid.

In the eyes of most outsiders, it is Real Madrid who has the advantage. Especially when combined with the atmosphere at home, it gives people the feeling that Real Madrid will attack the Forest goal at any time. Real Madrid's coordination is pleasing to the eye, it seems that any pass can be received, and the offensive coordination can be played no matter what. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, was a bit embarrassed, after Shaheen was restrained by Diarra, Forest's midfield almost became a pure sapper midfielder, their role was not to organize the attack, to connect the front and back, but to try to disrupt Real Madrid's attack...... How can it be done like this, with only destruction and no construction?

Evan watching the ball from the podium. Dogety's face became more and more ugly. He only smiled when Forest scored. Since then, I have been watching the game with a straight face, and since Real Madrid equalised, the league has become even more ugly...... Florentino, who was next to him, was always smiling, even when the Forest team was leading first, without frowning.

is worthy of being an old and cunning predator, and both kung fu and the city government are Evan. Dogty can't compare.

※※※

At the end of the first half, the score was still 1:1. Real Madrid had the upper hand, but they were unable to break down the back of the net against Forest, whose defensive system withstood the test. Donn has always been less worried about his defense, and he worries that if he puts too much energy into defense, the offense will inevitably suffer. The decisive point in this game is no longer defense, but attack......

Don was the first to walk into the alley, thinking about how to salvage the situation in the second half.

The commentator lamented for Real Madrid: "I bet with just five more minutes in the first half, Real Madrid can score the Forest goal again...... Or take the initiative on the pitch completely, after all, at the Bernabeu, it's their home stadium. This halftime saved Donn, and we can also look forward to Tony at halftime. What kind of adjustments will Don make? ”
