Volume 3 Red Forest Chapter 107 White Handkerchief (II)
Luxenberg suddenly frowned, then turned to the bench and said to Pablo Garcia: "Go warm up." ”
Garcia was a little surprised, but he quickly saw the head coach's angry face, quickly got up from his seat, threw off his coat, and ran out.
Seeing the midfielder warming up, the Bernabeu booed even more. Real Madrid's discerning fans have reason to boo their dissatisfaction, and in the case of a draw, their manager is not thinking of replacing attacking players to fight for goals, but even considering changing to a midfielder to strengthen the defense!
They cannot tolerate such cowardly behavior.
Of course, they also see that Real Madrid's defense is in a hurry now, and it is a frequent emergency. However, they thought that as long as the offensive was strengthened, this level of urgency was nothing. Real Madrid's football is that if someone else scores nine of us, we score ten of them! We don't compare with them who concedes fewer goals, we compare who scores more goals!
Don understood this thought, and it became even clearer to him when he heard louder boos ringing out. But he likes to play against teams like this, because a team that doesn't focus on defense will make it easier for the opponent. Do you see what kind of problems this Real Madrid team is causing to Nottingham Forest right now?
As soon as the football passed the center circle, the Real Madrid players in the front court such as Ronaldo, Zidane, and Guti stopped running back and stood in front to watch. Forest's players were able to pass through midfield almost unhindered, straight into Real Madrid's 30-metre zone, and then ...... You can do whatever you want.
In the minds of the superstars, defense is just something defenders do, they just have to wait in the front court and take a second to decide the outcome of the game.
For example, Ronaldo is always praised as the kind of superstar who disappears for 89 minutes and then decides the outcome of the game in one minute.
But Donn doesn't like such people. Because he's a manager, he has to look at it from a manager's point of view. If you have such an uncle on the field, then it is equivalent to 89 minutes of time in the game, and your team is 10 players. He doesn't need the ability to decide the game in that minute, and it's uncertain whether he can get Ronaldo to do it, and even if he does, what's the use?
If the whole team is a team, then we can give the game a chance to decide the outcome of the game for 90 minutes, rather than counting on the ethereal minute that is determined by the individual form of a star.
If there is such a number one person in his team, he dares to run to himself when he asks the whole team to run laps to practice physical fitness: "Have you ever seen a pianist run laps", Don will sell him regardless of the team's financial losses. If he can't sell it, then throw it to the reserves, and if the club prefers the players, then he will leave on his own. He's not the kind of good guy who can tolerate players openly defying authority in front of him.
So he was worried that Anelka's arrival would upset the atmosphere in the dressing room and the balance within the team, but fortunately, after a deep discussion with Anelka, the attitude of the French was not bad.
※※※
As Pablo Garcia returned to the dugout to listen to Luxenberg's lecture, Forest were on the attack.
After Anelka's shot was saved by Casillas, Viduka's follow-up shot was blocked by Carlos.
Corner kick!
Watching the noble Real Madrid being pressed and beaten by the English country team, the boos of the Bernabeu resounded in the night sky.
Donn looked up at the people in the stands and enjoyed the feeling. Great, it's not us who boo!
Such boos are clearly not the limit of the decibels that the Bernabeu fans can produce, and when they saw the fourth official on the sidelines holding up a sign for Real Madrid's No.14 Guti to come off and defensive defender Pablo Garcia to come on...... Many Nottingham Forest fans had to cover their ears.
What is this behavior? In the eyes of Real Madrid fans, in the case of the team's disadvantage, they do not want to win by attacking, but are satisfied with a draw, which is a betrayal of Real Madrid's century-old tradition!
This will not be tolerated.
The TV camera gave Luxenberg a close-up with a calm face. Then he turned to the rostrum and gave a close-up of President Florentino, with a blank face.
Luxenberg did something in front of the Real Madrid fans at Real Madrid's home stadium.
He knows that it is not very likely that he wants to win in this situation, so it makes sense to make sure that he does not concede any more goals and then think about attacking. But Real Madrid fans don't see it that way.
The referee signaled Guti to get off the field, and Guti, who was in the penalty area, looked unhappy and walked off the field slowly.
Pablo Garcia stood on the sidelines and waited for Guti to walk down slowly, his expression embarrassed. He didn't know if it was him who the fans booed, but on the face of it, he was under a lot of pressure from the boo.
He lowered his head, such a scene he never imagined when he knew that he would join the century-old giants Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's substitution took a minute, which indirectly helped Forest delay the game.
When Pablo Garcia came on the pitch, he took Guti's place, naturally taking over Guti's responsibility, but what is Guti's responsibility in corner kick defense? It's just standing on the edge of the forbidden area and making a show.
Garcia can't do that, he's a defender, he's squeezed into the crowd.
Garethbell raised his arm and signaled that he was ready to play.
Real Madrid's front of the goal was crowded, and the ball flew into the volley, and it suddenly became chaotic.
Who touched the ball? Who's in the way of whom?
No one can see the situation clearly in a moment.
Donn's eyes widened, and then he saw an arm stretched out from the crowd, followed by two, three!
Pepe, dressed in a red jersey, burst out of the crowd, spread his arms and roared towards the corner flag! Behind him were Nottingham Forest players.
"Nottingham Forest goal! 2:1! They are ahead of Real Madrid away!! ”
Don slammed his fist to the ground.
It's finally time to wait...... The moment when the so-called "Galactic Battleship" was sunk pulled this deformed team from the altar and sent the "superstar era" to a dead end.
Looking up again, he saw countless white handkerchiefs waving in the stands on all sides, the traditional way for Spanish fans to express their displeasure.
Looking at the white handkerchiefs fluttering in the sky, he suddenly thought of the white curtains flying in the wind in the funeral procession.
What a time......
