Volume 3 Red Forest Chapter 126 The Price of Defense (I)

Martins' shot didn't lead to the goal, and the fans on the bench may still be shaking their heads and sighing, but Mancini has seen hope as Nottingham Forest's airtight defence finally leaks.

And this attack sent a positive signal to the Inter players - look at Albertini, Nottingham Forest will be in chaos both offensively and defensively.

Now, the job is simpler, as long as you try to prevent Albertini from controlling the ball, it is equivalent to making Nottingham Forest unable to control the ball.

George didn't do much to help Forest's attack, but when Inter pressed heavily on the attacking ground, he could hold the middle and help the two wide defences. But now the Forest team needs to turn from defense to offense instead of defending. There's nothing he can do about it.

Albertini was closely marked by Cambiasso and the Argentine was very close to fouling with a lot of his movements, which made him uncomfortable. But there is nothing he can do about it, because if the referee doesn't blow it, it's not a foul. He is the captain, and he can't be moved by this, otherwise the team's morale will be chaotic.

Who can he rely on now? If there is no one to relieve him of the pressure, he can only rely on his own strength to compete with the opponent's midfield defense, but considering his age, as the game time passes, he may have been dragged down by the young and strong Cambiaso.

To Ashley Young or Frank Ribery?

They are all on the wing, and this position restricts their swings and looks for cooperation when passing the ball on the wing. Because it's easy to block the opponent if you hit too small.

Only George Wood is in the best position, in the middle of the pitch, with left, right, front and back passes

But does he still have to pick at this time?

Albertini passed the football to Wood. Compared to him, there was no defensive pressure on Wood's side. Inter's players are also obviously aware that Wood's contribution to the attack is almost zero, so there is no special person to mark the defence.

Seeing the ball being passed to Wood, Mancini whistled off the pitch and motioned for his players to press up, forcing Wood and forcing him to make a mistake.

This time it was Veron who came up to grab it, and Wood didn't have a good way to face the menacing Inter Milan player.

"Get past him!" Albertini shouted.

Wood remembers the scene where he got past Materazzi in front of the opposition penalty area, and he intends to repeat it.

But this time it's different from last time.

Wood Turf with the Forest team may have to field the Bottom. The last time he was able to successfully get past Materach, it had something to do with the opponent's lack of preparation, not so much that he shook Materach away, but that Materach himself hit a wall, and then was pushed down by the reaction force, and was picked up by Wood. Really good at technology? Wood practiced those things in training, but that was a completely different thing than showing what he was doing in practice on the field.

Wood wanted to push the ball away, but he didn't expect Veron to kick out quickly, and he dialed out the ball just when Veron stopped him, and then he didn't wait for him to have any. Peron swept past him!

"George Wood's ball is broken!

There was a huge cheer at the Meazza Stadium. They finally saw the scene of the biggest villain in the game!

"Damn it!" Seeing George Wood drop the ball, Donn was shocked and got up from his seat.

What is the location of Wood? Back waist! Behind the midfielders are the centre-backs! Losing the ball in this position means Veron can now face a thin midline straight away, and his breakaways, long-range shots, or passes can pose a big threat to Van der Sar's goal!

This time the ball was broken. George Wood didn't turn around immediately, but was stunned for a moment before he turned sharply and threw himself at Peron.

Veron dribbled the ball, Wood chased after him, and in an instant, both went into the box. This time, Pique, who was in the way in front of him, did not dare to make a rash move, and he also had to pay attention to Adriano and Martins on both sides, for fear that Veron would suddenly distribute the ball.

After entering the penalty area, Veron deliberately slowed down and he seemed to be watching the situation.

George Wood arrived, and he leaned against Veron in the back to break the ball.

How experienced is Belon? Seeing Wood leaning over, he immediately turned sideways to protect the football in front of him.

Adriano raised his arms on the side of the penalty area, "Pass it to me!" ”

At this moment, he had forgotten the grudge between himself and Peron. But I don't know if Veron didn't see it, or if he saw it deliberately not passing, in short, after he protected the football, he didn't rush to play the ball - he was waiting for Wood's follow-up.

Wood didn't get the ball on the first shot and was squeezed behind by Veron. This time he pushed forward hard and stretched out his foot again to break the ball. At the same time, the arm was erected......

Just as he was about to break to the football field, Veron suddenly fell forward!

The referee's whistle sounded!

"Penalty!"

The Meazza Stadium was jubilant.

"It's a penalty! No doubt! ”

Wood froze. He's put all his attention on breaking the ball, how can he foul him?

Peron stood up from above and hugged his teammates with open arms. He succeeded in tricking Wood into making the one he most wanted to see. Wood may not think he had fouled, but he actually pushed Veron down from behind......

On the sidelines, Don En sat down and covered his face in pain.

Wood turned to find a referee theory, but was pulled back by Albertini.

"If you still want to get a yellow card......

Hearing the captain say this, he stopped.

"I'm sorry."

Albertini shook his head: "Why apologize?" It would be nice to learn this lesson. I'll pass you the ball next time, don't look unprepared."

"But, I ......"

"Remember, George. When you're on the ball, don't show it even if you don't know what to do. You have to look confident, you have to be confident and calm, and you have to make people feel like you have a lot of ways to handle the ball and let your opponents guess! If you think to yourself, 'I don't know what to do,' then you really don't know what to do. But if you keep your cool and watch your opponent, you will know what to do." Albertini used the opportunity to catch up on Wood's lessons. It's actually not that complicated, you have a better way to pass the ball and pass it over, and if not, pass it to your nearest teammate. That's all."

Wood bit his lip and listened quietly.

"Don't take the penalty to heart, you don't know if you can score it or not. Even if it scores, it's just an equaliser. It's not the end of the world."

Albertini patted Wood and walked out of the box and the opponent was about to take the penalty.

Wood glared at Veron and turned and walked out as well.

Adriano walked in with a soccer ball.
