With a one-goal lead, Arsenal can justifiably start playing their long-prepared defensive counter-attack. Don doesn't think Arsenal are bad at counter-attacking and don't think they're good at counter-attacking, just look at the Arsenal side he remembers reaching the Champions League final this season. For Arsene Wenger's team, it's not a question of whether they can or not, but whether they want to.

If Arsene Wenger is determined to counter-attack with himself in this game, then Thierry Henry must be an important man.

Donn thought about it for a moment and decided not to make any adjustments for the time being. Henry can trap him with an entire line of defense. And Wood's target is still Fabregas.

However, the goal just now cannot be blamed for Wood being lost, at that time he chose to defend Henry was quite right, after all, Henry was more threatening. It can only be said that Thierry Henry is a truly world-class player, and he alone changed all that. Of course, head coach Arthur cannot be ignored; Arsene Wenger contributed. It was he who had built Arsenal into the team they are today, and this attack was very clear in the Arsenal style. It's hard to put into words the exquisiteness of the goal, but one can feel the poetic rhythm of the three Arsenal players' runs, which is very clear and smooth, and it is very refreshing.

In comparison, Nottingham Woodland football is not very artistic.

It is really the manager who determines the character of the team, and with Arsene Wenger in charge of Arsenal elegantly, the Gunners have become synonymous with elegance and artistry. And the mercenary Donn became the manager of Nottingham Forest, and the utilitarian nature of this team became stronger.

Donn got up from his seat, knowing that the game had entered Arsene Wenger's plan and that he had to play with it now. But he was not willing to let the game end like this, there was no airtight defense in the world. There is no bombardment that cannot open the door of the earth. As long as the Forest team continues to attack. Take a chance and you can tip the scales again.

In the past, he was used to relying on defense to solve problems, and in today's game, the key to solving problems is offense.

How powerful can the Nottingham Woodlands be attacked?

Arsenal dropped back slightly to pay attention to the defense. Forest started to press up. Even George; Wood got through half the pitch like this. Approaching the Arsenal penalty area.

Arteta dribbled past Edu up front and then burst into the back of the net. Lehmann pounced beautifully, but he couldn't control the ball, and he had to choose to hit the ball out of his hurry to get off the ball. But the Forest's offensive didn't end there.

Ashley; Young received a ball from Lehmann on the wing, didn't let it out of bounds, and then turned and crossed with his feet. The ball flew in front of the Arsenal goal again and Viduka got on top of it under Durd's close defence. Sadly, his header went just wide.

"Forest's offense is actually quite monotonous." Arsene Wenger sat in the dugout to Pat

； "Donn has spent most of his energy on defense since he took charge. Entering their first season in England, Forest's ability to finish fourth had little to do with their attacking power, and the most goals scored were only Crystal Palace, who played poorly away from home, with four goals. To be able to participate in this season's Champions Cup, they rely on the ground to be defensive. In the middle of the league, they have a record of eight consecutive games without conceding a goal, and the highest score in a single game for Forest in those eight rounds is only 2:0.1:0, 2:0, 1:1...... This is the most common ground score of the season."

Pat; Rice looked at Wenger with some incredulity, he didn't expect this Frenchman to know so much about the opponent's statistics, these things are probably not even Dunn himself can say casually, right?

"The situation has not changed this season either. Donn has been very successful defensively building for the Forest. The young ground defender makes mistakes, but he makes up for it with his whole. They have now conceded thirty-three goals, most of which have been conceded in recent rounds as the Forest team has been distracted by the Champions League and the team has been somewhat unable to keep up. Although Arteta is slowly straightened. However, the attacking routine of the Forest team has not changed much, it is nothing more than a breakthrough on the side and a strong attack in the middle, which is very patterned. And please join in the update of the fastest light book city and the overall emphasis on defense is different, the Forest team attack seems to rely more on a few players to swing ...... individually," Wenger said with his chin pinched.

Arthur ......

"Huh?"

"You...... I'm afraid Tony's knowledge of Nottingham Woodland is past Tony; Donne, right? ”

Hearing Rice say this, Wenger smiled slightly: "My understanding of that team is only the data, the data is there, anyone who wants to know can understand my level. And Tony; Donn, he understands the soul on a deeper level."

Rice looked at him.

"That's why. I know so much about the Forest team. But I'm still the Arsenal coach and he's the Nottingham Forest manager."

When Arsene Wenger analysed Nottingham Forest one by one. Don is standing on the sidelines to supervise the battle. He's not going to be like Arsene Wenger who does everything in a nutshell, which Don might do, but Don only coaches the team with his own set.

Arsene Wenger brought Arsenal an elegant and artistic football technique, while Done instilled in Nottingham Forest the idea of "winning and winning. In addition to victory or victory" will quality.

The Nottingham Forest players are just like their head coach. With a crazy obsession with victory, they are arrogant and will not be left behind. What about a ball now? It's just one goal, and the boss always says that "one goal lead" is the most dangerous situation on the football field, and this applies not only to the Forest, but also to their enemies.

George; Wood pressed up and Mikel Arteta saw him and played the ball over:

Wood catches the ball and Highbury Field remembers sporadic boos. If that's what it says in Inter Milan, George; Wood is a man who will not be popular anywhere except if he is a man.

He did not receive the emotional influence of the hostility of the audience. Passed the ball to Ribery on the other side, and then ...... It didn't end here, Wood didn't stay behind to prevent the opponent from counterattacking as usual, but unexpectedly suddenly stepped forward!

Albertini laughed at the sight of this scene on the sidelines. This kid has the will to take the initiative to participate in the attack......

Ryman saw Wood cut in and of course he knew the kid was going to be on the attack. However, he reminded his teammates loudly: "Leave him alone! ~ Show me death

In the hearts of German goalkeepers. The midfielder was no threat at all, and he might have been able to help Arsenal clear the ball with a ridiculously high shot.

Ribery sees Wood plug in. Without hesitation, the horse uploaded. Durr was tangling with Viduka, and Sendros was keeping an eye on Anelka, and they both saw George; Wood, but they all heard Lyman's dialect.

There was only one person who didn't listen to Lehmann's command and followed Wood back into the box, and that person was Cesc Fabregas.

Ribery passed the ball not to Viduka or Anelkadi, but to Wood. Wood jumps high while running!

Cesc Fabregas was shaken off in the final moments by a sudden rush from Wood. It's too late for him to jump. But he didn't dare to reach out and pull, so he could only look up in the back and watch Wood kill out of the crowd!

"George; Wood! ”

At this moment, Lyman suddenly felt a wave of regret from the bottom of his heart - why did he shout "leave him alone"? At this distance, there is not a single defender, what if he is allowed to go in? At the same time, his muscles tensed all over his body, as if he had been compressed into a spring on the ground, ready to pounce at any moment.

Wood saw football. What he had in mind was not "I want to score", but "how can I make sure that I can accurately top the football and not be outrageous", and then the most basic thing is that the coaches have repeatedly trained him when he was in the youth team. so that he can effectively control the air when defending the ground. Now he's using what he's learned to defend on offense, and he feels ...... It's amazing!

"Header!"

Very powerful, Wood's abdominal muscles bring great power. Let him slam the ball into the goal!

Before Lehmann could pounce, the ball flew into his arms......

"It's too upright, and although it is powerful, it doesn't pose any threat to Lyman! But I think the Arsenal players should think about why they defended so intensively that George could be so strong; Wood got to the ball with no interference at all

Wood scratched at his head, his head just thinking about how to hit the ball. But forgot to observe the position of the opposing goalkeeper. I forgot that this time the goal of the top ball was not to clear, but to shoot...... I saw a man in a light-colored jersey in front of me. Just push the ball over, it's a habit to defend.

Viduka came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done, you scared them."

"There were no goals." Wood said.

"Don't worry, there's always a chance." Viduka pointed at Lehmann, "Watch where he is before the next shot and calm down."

Wood nodded.

Lehmann was talking to Cesc Fabregas about the ball, but look at the unnatural look on his face. I'm afraid it's not simply "communicating".

"He's definitely not a 'careless' person, Lyman. I know him well, although I was a little surprised that he suddenly plugged in this time......"

Lehmann shrugged: "He shot badly......"

"Even if you stab your toe with your toes, you can score a goal, and there is always a time when you are lucky, what if you score? Don't take it lightly."

"Okay, I got it." Lehmann patted Cesc Fabregas on the shoulder, "I'm going to tee off."

On the sidelines, seeing Wood jump high and then head the ball to the ground, Albertini stood up from the bench, he was even ready to raise his hand in celebration, but he didn't expect Wood to have a powerful head, but it was too positive. Halfway up, he waved his hand down violently, muttering a curse in his mouth.

Like him is Tony; Don, but he just scolded loudly: "What a fucking damn! This is our best chance so far! Go back and give that bastard more shots! He waved his arms in dissatisfaction.

Hearing Donn shout this, Albertini laughed instead.

Donn was right, this was the best chance for the Forest so far. It was also Forest's best chance in the first half, George; Wood suddenly inserted ground and couldn't imagine that Wood would take the initiative to make such a move, but because it was rarely inserted into Wood, this header did not bring a goal. If Viduka, Anelka and Arteta had been replaced, they might have scored. Will it be unexpected?

At the end of the first half, the big red screen in the corner of Highbury Stadium showed that the score was still 1:0, and the home team was still 1:0.

If it's 90 minutes over, then that's what Wenger wants.

At half-time, Donn commented on the first half in the dressing room. He didn't say much about the goal he conceded, and he really didn't have much to say because it was a typical "Arsenal-style" goal. Relying on the delicate passing and running between the two players, it tore apart the Forest's defence, allowing them to take care of one or the other, and finally there was a fatal hole.

"The whole process is like a toy in the palm of their hand. But that's nothing. Football games are like that. In the second half, let's give them back a 'forest land'! Donn winked at the players.

What does a "forest-like" goal look like? Defend the counter-attack and quickly pass through the midfield. Three passes and two downs of the football went into the opponent's goal. Score goals in the simplest and most efficient way.

Everybody believed that Donn was saying that he scored goals like this.

Donne turned to Wood again and said, "That ball...... You're doing a good job. It continued like that in the second half."

Wood shook his head: "If you continue like this, you still won't advance."

"Hey!" Don rolled his eyes, and someone next to him laughed, he glared and the laughter was gone.

"I mean you plug it in the back of the ground. Very resolute and decisive. Very unexpected. Very good and powerful! Do you understand what I mean? With each word, Donn waved his arm.

Wood nodded, "I see."

In the Arsenal dressing room, everyone is doing their own thing. Someone is listening to music. Someone was lying on the ground and pretending to sleep, but Wenger ignored it. He is used to it and respects the personal habits of this group of professional players. He sat at the door and rested silently, replaying the first half in his mind by the way.

When the time was almost up, the players quieted down, took off their headphones to the music, and sat back in their seats while everyone waited for the manager.

Arsene Wenger looked up at them and was as short as ever: "We all know how the Forest are going to attack. Don't give them that chance."

The second half was restarted and Arsenal remained on the defensive overall. Forest, on the other hand, are sticking on the offensive and hoping for an equaliser. However, Arsenal can always see through Forest's attacking routine, and every time Forest attack, they can defuse it. It seems that Arsene Wenger's research on the Forest team is really not blowing, and he has indeed studied it thoroughly.

Nottingham Forest have few secrets to speak of in front of Arsenal.

If the game continues like this, barring some surprise, Arsenal will trade an ugly spectacle for a valuable home win.

Arsene Wenger doesn't care what the media say about the game after the game, it's a critical moment, what is it to put down a little face for the sake of winning the game? When Arsenal lift the Champions League in history, who cares if they look ugly in a game or two? One will only know that this is the Arsenal club's first-ever European Champions Cup trophy, with silver gleaming and a little starlight in the lights. That's the highest goal that a club manager has pursued all his life.

Arsene Wenger is not exempt from vulgarity, he looks up at the sky. The night sky over London is so red that you can't see anything.

"It's not going to go on like this." Don stood up from his seat. Arsene Wenger studied us thoroughly in front of him. We don't have any secrets. He knows what I'm good at."

"Want to throw in the towel?" Chris Rac asked.

Don glared at him: ". I don't know how to fight 'admit defeat', you teach me? ”

"Relax, Tony, just kidding." Chris Rac laughed.

"You can still laugh......"

"Didn't you say that as a coach, you have to give confidence to the players no matter what the situation is?"

This left Donn speechless.

"Do you want to make adjustments?"

Donn nodded.

"For whom?"

"No substitutions." Don shook his head, as if muttering to himself, "For the time being...... And no substitutions. Didn't Arsene Wenger study us thoroughly? He must know that we have land, but we don't have land...... He must not know! ”

Hearing Donn say this, Chris Rac didn't know what to say. Isn't this nonsense? We don't have land, how could Arsene Wenger know? We don't even know about it......

Donn walked to the sidelines, and took advantage of a throw-in opportunity, and he called for a landlayton on this side; Barnes, this and that, spoke to him. Barnes' eyes were about to pop out, and he turned his head to look at the pitch and then at Don in disbelief, unable to believe that he had just heard every word.

The fourth referee had noticed that Donn and Barnes were talking for too long, and he was going to come up and intervene.

Don patted Barnes on the shoulder: "Go ahead, tell him the truth, so that he doesn't doubt anything. Do as I say. Success is to him, failure is mine."

Barnes looked the head coach in the eye, then nodded vigorously and ran back.

Donn turned his head to see the UEFA landman walking towards him, so he turned and walked back to the dugout. The man saw that it was all right. So I turned back as well.

"What did you say to Barnes, I don't think he looks normal." Waiting for Donn to walk back, Chris Rac asked.

Donn sat down, turned his head and grinned at him, "Guess."
