After the end of the first half, Don looked a little unsightly, and walked straight back to the locker room. He's not blaming the players for their bad performance, but because he's unlucky.

The goal that equalised for Chelsea was really ...... He was too speechless to enter. There were so many people in the box that Lampard's long-range shot really went in.

He thought there was no threat to a reckless shot that ended up being a goal. Can this mood improve?

However, when he entered the locker room and saw the players who had returned from 66, Don still had a smile on his face again. He can't let the players be affected by his emotions.

"You're doing a good job, we're just a little bit out of luck." He said so comfortingly. 'In the second half, we played like this, scoring goals, scoring more goals. One goal is not enough. He cocked up his index finger and shook it.

※※※

On the other hand, Mourinho also praised his men, saying that they played well and did not panic after falling behind, which made him very happy.

"But it's not my request to get a point here." Jose Mourinho stretched out his index finger and shook it, "We are the league champion for two consecutive seasons, but this opponent has not won. Speaking out, I think it's a shame on all of us. In the second half, it was still attacking. If Nottingham Forest want to play against us, we will let them see what happens to us! ”

"In addition, the opponent's Zim Bonda received a yellow card, which he used in the second half to focus on his point." Jose Mourinho made a cross at Nottingham Forest's right wing-back.

※※※

The set-up of both coaches at half-time was very simple, as there was nothing wrong with the tactics of the first half. The goals conceded were all planned, and so were the goals. So there is no need to make any adjustments, all the coaches need to do is to continue to boost morale, continue the tactics and form of the first half in the second half, and then consider adjustments when things happen.

After the start of the second half, the game was the same as the first, no one could completely suppress the other, and both sides had chances.

It can also be said that the two teams are evenly matched......

'Two years ago, if we had said Nottingham Forest and Chelsea were evenly matched, we would have been ridiculed. But looking at the game now, what else can be said? A year ago. We rated Nottingham Forest as a dark horse and it would be out of place to say they were dark horses this season. Tony. Don managed to bring this team to this point. They're going to be the champion next, right? ”

When Morteson said this, Mark Murphy. Laurentian didn't speak. Because this is a well-known fact. He can't argue anything either.

Two years ago, what was the expression of Nottingham Forest? Disdainful, strange, nostalgic...... What now?

You can hate him and his team, but you can't ignore what he's achieved.

※※※

'Chelsea's attacking focus was on our right flank. Chris Rac said to Don beside him.

"I see it." Donn nodded.

In the first half, Chelsea's attacking play was mainly centred down the pitch as both Albertini and Van der Vaart were points to exploit. Albertini is older and less agile than he used to be, facing the fierce men in Chelsea's midfield. There is always a time when Baimi is sparse. Van der Vaart is more of a full-time attacker and doesn't get involved much in defense, so the middle of the Forest team is indeed a breakthrough point.

Didn't Frank Lampard's goal come down the middle? If George. Wood is here, and at least someone will come over to fill that position, rather than watching Lampard get up on his feet outside the box and be unable to do anything about it.

In the second half, they concentrated on the right side of the Forest team, and it was clear that they had found a more favourable breakthrough than Albertini ̄ ̄ Zim Bonda, who also had a yellow card on him.

Lately, the whole Forest team has been scared of red cards. Because of the conflict with Reading and the coach's "accusations" against the English referee after the game, the Forest team became the focus of the referee's "care". A little careless. It may be the "yellow card".

So during this time, the players were reminded within the club, asking them to pay attention to their own movements during the game and not to become stupid birds who bumped into the muzzle of the gun during the crackdown.

Zim Bonda certainly knows he has a yellow card on him, if Chelsea take turns bombarding their side. He really can't guarantee that he will be able to block the opponent's attack and not foul.

Now that you know the other party's intentions, you must take countermeasures accordingly.

Tang En called Sun Jihai back from the warm-up place and explained to him the precautions after playing. Sun Jihai knew that it was time for him to behave.

"I know it's a bit ......of a big task," Donn told Sun in English, "and almost all of Chelsea's attacks were on our right flank. Now Zim Bonda has a yellow card, so he can't be left on the pitch any longer. You get it, Sun? ”

In fact, Tang En can speak Chinese, and he and Sun Jihai have no problem communicating in Chinese, but that is in private. In the team, Tang En still insisted on communicating with Sun Jihai in English, he didn't want Sun Jihai to think that with a coach who could speak Chinese, he could abandon English as a means of communicating with others.

Sun Jihai nodded. "I know, boss."

'Don't let the referee take the handle and don't give Chelsea a chance. Go ahead. Tang En patted Sun Jihai on the shoulder and sent him to the sidelines.

※※※

Nottingham Forest replaced Zim Bonda, who had a yellow card, and replaced Chinese defender Sun Jihai. Son spent many years at Manchester City and has now moved to Nottingham Forest. It is said that Tony. Coach Don can communicate with Sun Zai in a very fluent Chinese at ordinary times, and Sun once lamented the standard of Don En's Chinese. When Mortenson broadcast Sun Jihai's appearance, he also said an interesting story related to Tang En by the way.

Sun Jihai played right wing-back in the field and was mainly responsible for defense. At the moment, Chelsea are on the offensive and Done is in no hurry to attack.

He's really a jack-of-all-trades. Wood was suspended, he played in the back and Zim Bonda needed to avoid the risk of a red card, so he went up to play at right wing-back. Don believes that if a left wing-back is needed, Sun Jihai can also get the job done.

"Replacing Sun Jihai is to strengthen the defense on the right side?" Mark. Laurentian has finally found a place to criticize. "I don't think the Chinese are as capable as the replaced Zim Bonda. Son is a good sub, but only a sub. Whether playing as a midfielder or as a full-back, he is not so reassuring. The substitution of Zim Bonda was due to the fear that he would receive a second yellow card and be sent off. I can understand. But will the incompetent son be able to withstand Chelsea's attack? ”

'Once Man City's main full-back, if he hadn't been injured...... It's not as bad as you think. Mark? ”

"But he's been badly injured after all."

When Laurenson said this, Mortensen couldn't find a reason to refute it. Truly. Since Sun Jihai suffered that serious injury, he has not only lost his main position in Manchester City, but his own strength has also been affected.

※※※

In fact, he has a few catties and a few taels, Sun Jihai knows it very well in his heart. No Mark. Laurentian came to remind him of a serious injury.

After the Chinese men's football team failed to attack the World Cup in Germany, Chinese football fell into an all-round trough, regardless of the domestic league teams. Or a single player like himself who stays abroad. After all, it is Chinese, Chinese players, who doesn't want to perform better when they are outside, on the one hand to seek the greatest benefits for themselves, and on the other hand to fight for the Chinese?

Chinese football is in a slump across the board, and football is about to become a joke in China. As a footballer himself. It is inevitable that there will be a feeling of cold lips and teeth. He still hopes to use his performance to give domestic fans a shot in the arm. The appearance of Tang, the Chinese assistant coach, has given many people hope, but none of the three acting head coach games have been won, and there are many voices in China that are talking about cool things.

Chinese people are always accustomed to having low self-esteem about their football. Take failure for granted......

Sun Jihai admits that Chinese football is not performing well, but what can one person do?

The only thing he can do is to train hard in the club, strive to perform on the field, and let those who have not been disappointed in Chinese football breathe a sigh of relief.

Arjen Robben dribbled the ball towards Sun Jihai, and Frank Lampard and Shepchenko were cruising around Robben.

Chelsea really value him.

Sun Jihai didn't dare to slack off, lowered his center of gravity, and did not rush out in the face of Robben's dribbling. As an experienced veteran who has been in England for many years. Even if Don didn't tell him, he knew how to deal with Robben.

Arjen Robben is a fast man with the ball, needs to make moves on the run, needs space for him to get rid of Ga. As long as you can keep him down and stop him from possession, the threat is a third less.

Sun Jihai wouldn't be stupid enough to see Robben make a move and stretch out his foot to break the ball, so that once it was passed, it would be irreparable.

All he needed to do was to retreat with Robben and use his own slowness to suppress the opponent's fast. As long as Robben is driven to a dead end, he is no threat.

The idea is good, but it's a pity that Robben didn't give him such a chance. After making a move to cut inside, he slammed the ball outward, and then turned and broke through!

Sun Jihai was caught off guard, and was shaken by Robben, and when he saw that Robben was about to break free from in front of him, Albertini stabbed obliquely and kicked Robben's football kick out of the sideline.

In order to completely get rid of the cautious Chinese defender in front of him, Robben's action on the ball was a little bigger, and the football was a little farther away from him, and it was just this distance that the more experienced Albertini grabbed and cleared it successfully.

Robben, who ran for nothing, had some regretful kicks, and when he broke through Sun Jihai, all his energy was focused on the opponent in front of him, and he really didn't notice that Albertini had made up for it.

Sun Jihai stood up, ready to thank Albertini.

Unexpectedly, Albertini gave him a thumbs up first: "Well done, Sun." If that kid is smaller, he won't be able to get past you. ”

Sun Jihai smiled.

Laurentian on the commentary bench has a different view. He found evidence from this defense to prove his point: "Lo and behold, John. Sun was helpless in the face of Luo Di's breakthrough. If Albertini hadn't rushed desperately to make up for the defense, he would have been broken through by Robben. ”

※※※

Robben stomped the turf under his feet, and just now because of his sudden start, the turf in this place was overturned. He's going to have to break through here a lot, and if the turf isn't good, it will affect his sprint.

Setting up the turf, he looked up at the serious-looking Oriental.

You're not going to be so lucky next time......

"Robben gets the ball again! Shepchenko raised his hand next to him for the ball, but the Dutchman had no intention of passing the ball out. He faced Sun Jihai and wanted to break through! ”

It wasn't that Robben didn't fail to see Shepchenko next to him. is very confident in his breakthrough, and he relies on the degree of galloping Ying. Rare opponents. Facing Sun Jihai, he has absolute confidence to break through and then threaten the Forest goal.

He planned to break through, but Sun Jihai was very cautious and would never make rash moves. Robben was going to do it again. As a result, when he just started to do the inward cutting feint, Sun Jihai suddenly broke his foot and stopped the football that was slightly away from Robben's feet!

“oh-yes！ Defend beautifully! "When Laurentian criticized Sun Jihai just now, Mortenson screamed silently." The tackle is beautiful, and there is no foul! Nottingham Forest take advantage of the maneuver to attack! Robben also fell to the ground to ask for a free kick, and the referee ignored him! ”

This time, it was Laurenson's turn to remain silent.

As the game progressed, everyone could already see that Donne's substitution was definitely not a failure.

Sun Jihai's performance since that serious injury is indeed not as good as it used to be. However, his hard work and professionalism have not been affected by the injury. These make up for some of his deficiencies in ability.

Sun Jihai, who does not have a yellow card, is more daring to fight than Zim Bonda, and Chelsea have no choice in the face of such a desperate but cautious defender.

The situation on the pitch follows a period in which Chelsea had the upper hand. It gradually became a situation for Nottingham Forest to regain the advantage.

Facts have proved that Sun Jihai's play-on has effectively relieved the defensive pressure faced by the Forest team.

※※※

Nottingham Forest's offense, the formation is getting more and more forward, and Bale is because of Donn's instructions, frequently assists in this game, and after an attack, he is not in a hurry to return to defense, but waits for the opportunity to attack again in the front court. A lot of the time, he looks more like a full-back than a full-back.

Even centre-back Vincent Kompany has come forward with the ball a couple of times.

The central defenders couldn't help but step forward to join in the excitement when the team was in a good situation, and they also fulfilled their duties, and only Sun Jihai remained in the backfield. It's not that he's not as good offensively as the aforemen, or it's not that he doesn't like to be involved in attacks. The reason for keeping him at the back was simple, the manager asked him to come up and defend, and didn't let him attack.

When everyone is killing the ground, someone has to think about defense, right?

Nottingham Forest won a corner. Kompany and Piqui rushed up to head the ball into goal, left wing-back Gareth. Bale was the set-piece penalty taker and Forest's backfield was empty. In addition to goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, only Albertini and Sun Jihai stayed behind to defend, but despite this, their position was pressed to the halfway line......

Bale's shot was not headed over by Kompany and Pique, as well as any Forest player, but was picked up by Petr Cech. Cech, who broke off Forest's corner, threw the ball directly into attack, and he threw the football to Shepchenko in front!

The Ukrainian is no less favourable than Robben, and he has been frustrated by a new environment this season and not being able to find his form. Now is your chance, your chance to prove yourself again!

Shepchenko had a good idea of the situation of the Forest team in front of him before receiving the ball, and between him and the Forest goal, there was a wide space of about sixty yards, but there were only two Forest players, one was his former team-mate at AC Milan, the aging Albertini, and with his own degree, it was not a problem to break through him.

The other is the Chinese.

The two of them stood side by side...... Breaking through one is tantamount to breaking through two, and it's a great opportunity to score your own goals!

Shepchenko broke through with the ball. Ukrainian nuclear warheads have been aimed at the goal of Nottingham Forest! ”

Immediately over the city stadium, there was a huge uproar, with boos from Nottingham Forest fans and cheers from Chelsea fans.

Sun Jihai wanted to come up and be the first line of defense, but he didn't expect Albertini to yell at him in a huge uproar: "Go back!" I got it! ”

The captain made the right choice, and Albertini, who was not happy, could only be the first line of defense, and if he followed the retreat, he would be thrown off immediately. And Sun Jihai is faster, and he is the only one of the two of them who is most suitable to be the second line of defense for retreating.

Sun Jihai gritted his teeth and turned around and ran back.

Albertini pursed his lips in the face of Shepchenko, who was dribbling to him.

I really didn't expect us to have such a face-to-face day...... Come on, Sheva!

Shepchenko slowed down a little when he saw who was in front of him. This gave Albertini a chance. He suddenly rushed forward and quickly closed the distance between himself and Shepchenko. Then the ball is broken in position.

Just when he thought he had succeeded in doing so, Shepchenko suddenly threw the ball to the side. Then Ga bypassed the statuelike Albertini.

"Albertini has been passed! It's so easy! ”

It's so easy...... This was also Albertini's idea. When Shepchenko suddenly added, he didn't even have time to foul and let the opponent out of his control.

I'm really old......

After seeing Albertini being broken through, Sun Jihai, who was retreating, had already run to a place only five meters away from the top of the arc, and he heard the people in the stands of the Croatian fans he was facing stood up with their arms raised, and hurriedly looked back, just in time to see Shepchenko breaking through Albertini.

He gritted his teeth. Turned around and pounced back.

Shepchenko, in order to get rid of Albertini, made a bit of a big trip. Sun Jihai thought of the scene where Albertini helped him defend Robben just now, and he decided to report back to the captain.

Both of them were chasing the rolling soccer ball as if two meteors were about to collide, dragging dazzling flames behind them.

Who will win this competition?

Sun Jihai knew that he couldn't outrun Shepchenko. When he was still some distance from the football, he took it for a moment and did not hesitate to fall to the ground and put it down.

Donn's coaching advice is still in his ears. He did not forget. This was not a foul, he was completely aimed at the football, even if he brought Shepchenko down by the way, with neither of them fully in control of the football, the referee had no reason to blow him for a foul, no matter how much he looked at the Forest team.

But a world-class striker must have his superiority, Shepchenko saw Sun Jihai's plan, when his center of gravity was not very good, he suddenly leaned forward, stretched out his right foot and stabbed the football first!

Sun Jihai shoveled out!

"The second! Shepchenko's beautiful breakthrough! He wants to prove to the people that he is by no means the biggest parallel trade in British history! ”

Sun Jihai glided on the ground, and he looked up to see a Ukrainian nuclear warhead passing over his body, casting a shadow.

Finished! What does it mean to have a striker like that one-on-one against the goalkeeper? It's harder not to score than to get to the sky......

Shepchenko didn't have the heart to look back at the failure he had broken through, because his strength and center of gravity were affected by the forced stabbing of the ball, and he had to adjust everything before Van der Sar could get into the spot, and then shake off the attacking goalkeeper and smash the ball into the empty net with ease......

Van der Sar's attack was a bit unexpected, and by the time he managed to get the ball around, he had already rushed to the edge of the box and he happened to step in.

That means Van der Sar can take the ball with his hands instead of what he did in last season's Champions League final.

The TV camera locked onto the area, and both the fans and the TV viewers were firmly focused on the two men.

The goal, Chelsea counter-score, morale boosted.

If not, Nottingham Forest escaped.

Shepchenko didn't have time to adjust anymore and made a move to break through in a straight line, Van der Sar was not fooled, he was waiting for Ukraine's next move. Sure enough, Shepchenko pulled the ball sideways and went to the middle, intending to shoot straight at goal.

The one-meter-ninety-seven Van der Sar fell to the football, spread his arms and lengthened as long as he could, intending to stop Shepchenko's next shot.

The narrator's voice doubled unconsciously, and he almost left his seat and shouted with the microphone: "Shepchenko deceived Van der Sar!" Shepchenko...... He shakes the angle! No center of gravity! This is an empty door, this is an empty door! Kick Shot ̄ ̄!! ”

Just behind the goal, Chelsea fans stood up with their arms raised in the air ready to celebrate the goal. The Forest fans booed as if they were about to boo the ball out of goal.

A red figure suddenly rushed into everyone's field of vision.

It's not over yet, it's not over yet, it's ......not over yet***!

Sun Jihai was running high, his eyes were fixed on the ball shot by Shepchenko, who had no center of gravity in order to shake off Van der Sar, and the ball he kicked was not a boccia, but a half-high ball, and fell towards the goal in a parabolic form.

Sun Jihai, who returned to defense, still has a chance.

Football is getting closer and closer to the goal, and if you don't kick it, you won't have a chance...... Sun Jihai took off decisively, kicked forward with his right foot, his eyes still staring at the football in the air, he wanted to make sure that his foot was not blocking the ball.

Shepchenko, who fell to the ground, was also staring at the ball he had shot, and he wanted to make sure the ball was in the goal.

"Bang!" The football and Sun Jihai's foot met in the air, it was kicked, then changed direction and flew out of the bottom line diagonally!

"Sun Jihai! Sun Jihai! Unbelievable...... Unbelievable! It's unbelievable! He saved the team! Mortensen had fully risen from his seat, microphone in hand, spitting stars. A perfect return defense! ”

In the stands behind the Forest goal, the arms of all the men in blue turned into heads of frustration.

The other three stands erupted in deafening cheers.

“sun！ sun！ sun！ They chanted Sun Jihai's last name.

Pikui, who didn't catch up all the way to the ground, did not brake, but took advantage of the situation to fall to the ground and slid towards Sun Jihai, who was still lying on the ground, hugged him, hit his forehead, and yelled at him. It was such a thrilling scene.

The second to join the roar was captain Albertini, and the third was Van der Sar, who was saved by Sun Jihai. More and more Forest players rushed up to celebrate Sun Jihai, as if the Chinese had scored a goal.

Don threw a few punches hard from the sidelines, then turned back to the coaches and said viciously, "Who the thinks we bought him for the Chinese market!" ”

Morteson was still roaring, and Mark. Laurentian completely extinguished.

"This is by no means Sun Jihai's first performance, he was the final savior in the Manchester City team! Changed teams, he saved again! It's not a coincidence, it's not luck...... This Chinese who never gives up! ”
