What is the usual way to get ground in Logtingham Forest?

Ask ten, a hundred, a thousand people and you'll get only one answer.

Unsightly scenes, ugly defence and a shit or two lucky counterattacks, the game is over and Forest wins.

Apart from Franck Ribery's assault on the flanks, the Forest team had a lackluster game.

The vast majority of neutral fans will be on Barcelona's side. They want to see football represented in the arts. They want to use the Barcelona victory to prove that there is a place for beautiful football to survive in modern football, or that there is hope for a revival of beautiful football.

Originally, Donn was going to play Barcelona here, because Wood can't play, and if the Forest team continues to be conservative, they may not be able to win. You will also be scolded for being ugly. There is still a silver lining to the attack. But after the media hype of "art football vs. utilitarian football", he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to use Forest's best defense to compete against Barcelona. Today's heavy rain has reinforced this belief that the field is not suitable for playing skills, and there is no need for the physical advantage of the Forest team.

Although the absence of Wood will have some impact on the team's defense, but the Forest team has not been able to get to where they are today because of Wood's performance, Pepe and Piqui have shown their respective talents and strengths. There is also a team of hard-working and honest Layton Barnes, Zim Bonda, and world-class goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. It's not weak anywhere.

Of course. This doesn't mean that Don will keep the team completely on the defensive during the game. He knew that if he was on the defensive, he wouldn't get the results he wanted. A really high level of defense is built on offense. It's like offense needs to be built on a solid defensive foundation. Defending steadily requires offense to share the pressure. Contain the opponent's forces.

So from the very beginning of the game, it was surprising that Nottingham Forest, who are good at defense, launched a fierce attack on Barcelona instead, changing their conservative image in the past.

Barcelona apparently didn't expect Forest to take the initiative and were a bit overwhelmed after the opening. Coupled with the fact that the venue was slippery, everything made them very uncomfortable.

Compared to Barcelona, who are technically delicate, the Forest team is more adapted to playing in such weather. Because their offensive methods are very simple and fast. There's no complicated penetration in the middle and a dizzying mix of passes, individual dribbles, two or three foot passes to get the ball into danger zone, and then it's the shot. Because there is Viduka in. Forest could pass the ball more in the air, use Viduka's height and header to play a ferry or go straight to goal, minimising the impact of poor pitch.

If there's one weakness in Barcelona, it's defending against high balls. Maybe they're so good at their feet that they don't bother to work on the golf.

However, their opponent in this game is Nottingham Forest. It is an England ground team.

"Ashley; Poplar! He's so fast! #8226;Yang Gao dribbled and the slippery field seemed to have little effect on him. Against Dutch defender Van Bronckhorst, he slammed the ball more than 10 metres away. Then it was too late for Van Bronckhorst to turn around, he couldn't keep up with the fifth-ranked wide attacker in England, he chased the ball and ran 100 meters in 10.97 seconds, and the Dutchman could only see a back after turning around.

After breaking through Van Bronckhorst, Ashley Young didn't cut inside and went straight to the cross. Highball!

This is Donn's special order to let the players play more high balls on the field and crush Barcelona with air superiority.

Viduka leaps high in the crowd and heads in front of Puyol and Max!

"Valdés! Save beautifully! ”

Spain's No.2 goalkeeper Viducadi's header lifted the crossbar and shocked those Barcelona fans in a cold sweat.

"At the beginning of the game, the Forest team did not choose to defend, but took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to attack Barcelona in waves. This time they almost came out on top! ”

After the corner, Pepe and Piqui both rushed in, and there was chaos in front of the Barcelona goal. It was only with Puyol that he got the ball out and put an end to the chaos.

"Barcelona was a mess defending with their headers...... It seems that Coach Donn has found a way to deal with Barcelona."

The telecast gave Don a close-up. He sat in the coach's seat. The short shed couldn't cover the rain from the sky, and the pants were completely wet, and the shirt was half wet. At this moment he was staring intently at the pitch and was fully in shape.

Next door to him, Rijkaard stood up from his seat, a little worried about the series of dangers in front of the goal, frowning and blowing two whistles, asking the players to pay attention to the wide defense.

Rijkaard's reminder didn't work, and five minutes passed and Barcelona, who are known for their attacking efforts, couldn't even shoot with their feet, they were completely overwhelmed by Forest's aggressive attack and poor pitch.

Dondi's idea is simple, take advantage of this time Barcelona is not yet adapted. Take advantage of the opportunity to score a goal – and of course it would be better to score more of the planet – to turn the advantage into a win and give your team the upper hand psychologically. Step by step, Barcelona is led into a quagmire of impatience and mistakes.

It's the pre-game plan and it's clear to all.

If the game goes according to plan, it will be much easier.

Don is not a coach who likes to plan everything, and he doesn't think his opponents will obediently listen to his own arrangements. That's why he pays more attention to the mid-game adjustments.

Ashley; Young excelled on the right, Frank 226; Ribery is not to be outdone. He cut inside against Oleg on the left, then dribbled horizontally and then suddenly got up and shot after shaking off the angle! Valdés concentrated and flew to block the ball, another corner!

The Nottingham Forest fans in the stands, who were not outnumbered, erupted in loud cheers as the Forest team bombarded the ground indiscriminately. Barcelona fans were a little silent.

From the corner, Forest made a change when the Barcelona defenders were focused on Pepe and Piqui in the box. Albertini didn't drive the ball directly into the box, but passed it to Arteta, who came up to meet him, a tactical corner!

Seeing Arteta receive the ball, the Barcelona defenders collectively pressed out and wanted to create an offside position, and at this moment, Spain crossed. It's not a high ball. It's a half-high ball.

Everyone is running outside, including the Forest players who are afraid of being offside. Anelka was halfway down the road and suddenly turned and stepped forward, and Arteta's pass was just in time! The French striker lifted his foot and slid the ball forward and touched Barcelona defender Max!

The commentator shouted, and the fans at the scene also roared.

"Anelkadi opportunity! Single Knife! ”

Valdés struck bravely and fell to the ground to make a save when he was very close to the ground. Anelka had very little space for him to move after he had wiped over Max. He had no choice but to shoot with the arch of his foot and the ball hit Valdés in the thigh. off the bottom line.

Sighs rang out at the same time.

"What a pity! This is Forest's best chance so far! Barcelona is overwhelmed! ”

Anelka put his head in his hands and was very sorry that he didn't kick the ball in.

Just as regrettable as he was Donne, he got up from the dugout when he saw Nicolas Anelka break through Max and was ready to raise his hand to celebrate. Unexpectedly, Valdés was miraculous like a pill today, saving several must-score goals for the Forest team in a row, and this time was no exception, blocking Anelka's shot.

"What the, he should have gone for a urine test after the game!" Don En sat down. I vented my unhappiness in my heart.

Chris Rac shook his head beside him: "Don't worry. Tony, we're on good momentum."

'I don't believe anything until I score. Donn stared at the court, gritted his teeth and said.

"We need to attack!" As the captain of the Barcelona field, the Catalan Puyol is boosting morale, "Can't let them go on like this. Ronaldinho! ”

The Brazilian's face grim: "I know."

"Find a way to press them back!"

Ronaldinho looked up at the time on the big screen and the game had been played for fourteen minutes. Barcelona haven't had a decent offensive as the team's attacking core. Of course, he has the obligation and responsibility to change this embarrassing situation.

Soon, he relied on his individual skills in midfield to dribble past Mikel Arteta. Orchestrated the first effective offensive after the opening of Barcelona. While Forest's defenders were focused on Samuel Eto'o, Ronaldinho passed the ball to Djuli on the wing.

Jiuli relied on the degree to break through Layton; Barnes kicks the goal!

Van der Sar was equally focused, blocked the angle of the shot, and then cushioned the shot with both hands with a powerful foot. Hold on again.

It was Barcelona's first shot on goal after the opening kick-off, in the fifteenth minute...... It's pathetic. Barcelona seem to be a little uncomfortable in front of the crazy Nottingham Forest."

"Also unsuitably there is a lot to the venue and the weather. It can be seen that the field is very slippery, and the soles of Gyuli's feet are a little slippery before shooting. In fact, there have been cases of sudden slips and falls from players on both sides, but for Barcelona, who are more technical and ground-to-ground, the impact is even greater. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, insisted on a high-altitude tactic to minimise the impact of the pitch on their ground.

The commentator's analysis was correct, but it didn't help Barcelona change the awkward situation on the pitch. They are not very good at playing soccer on the ground, ground possession is their tradition, and it is in the blood, and it is impossible to change it for a while.

"It occurred to me that before the game, some media thought that this match was a matchup between Barcelona and Nottingham Forest. But after watching fifteen minutes of play, I couldn't make any connection between the Barcelona team that was pressing on the ground with 'utilitarianism'."

The narrator laughed.

As an outsider. They laughed exceptionally easily.

As a belligerent on the field, it is not easy at all. This is the first time the Dondee side have played against Barcelona, and their previous knowledge of the team probably comes more from Pique, a team-mate who came out of the Barcelona Academy.

Just when the Forest players thought Barcelona were nothing more than that, Gyuli warned them with a sharp break and a shot on goal – Barcelona are no ordinary people.

George; Wood sat in the box and watched the game with himself. So far, the impact of his absence has not been seen.

Donn's pre-game remark seems to have a point, and Forest is not fatal to a team that is not a one-man team.

It seems so......

In the eighteenth minute, when Nottingham Forest continued to press Barcelona's ground, Barcelona's backfield broke the ball and made a fast attack.

After Puyol passed the football to Edmilson, Barcelona rushed up with six men in an instant, so fast that Forest, who were used to the opponent's embarrassed reaction, did not expect it.

If there is George at this time; Wood, he must have pressed Ronaldinho for the first time. But before Forest's midfielders knew how to react, Edmilson had already passed the ball to Ronaldinho in front.

"Ronaldinho takes the ball, he doesn't have a Forest player around him!"

George; The impact of Wood's absence exploded at this moment

With no full-time defensive midfielders, there was a blank space in front of Forest's centre-backs. The backline has to go to the midfield position so that there will inevitably be a lot of space behind them......

Ronaldinho did not pass the ball unmarked and continued to dribble forward. Attracting Albertini and Pepe to the front of the defense, the focus of the entire Forest defence was shifted to himself. Then he braked hard and passed!

Eto'o, the African cheetah, stabbed obliquely and no one noticed him. Because everyone is looking at Ronaldinho, for fear that he will show some amazing magic. But this time, he's just the bait!

Samuel Eto'o burst out from behind Pepe and Ronaldinho shook off Arteta's back-tackle before delivering a through ball!

"Single knife! Piercing the Forest defence, through ball, from Ronaldinho! And not offside! ”

Sitting in the coach's seat, Don saw this scene when he saw it. His eyes widened suddenly, his pupils narrowed, and he left his seat.

It's all too familiar......

Damn it!

Samuel Eto'o was fine enough to cut in for offside and he received the ball without a Nottingham Forest defender.

Putting Samuel Eto'o in front of a goalkeeper and plenty of space to add to the ground was only one result......

"Van der Sar strikes!" In fact, when he saw Eto'o on the ground, the Dutch goalkeeper judged the next situation in advance, so when Eto'o just received the football. He had rushed to the edge of the penalty area.

The two met on the line of the Grand Exclusion Zone. Van der Sar fell to the ground to block and Eto'o used his advantage to flick the ball to the right. At this point, Van der Sar has lost his center of gravity, can he watch the opponent cross him and score the ball?

Van der Sar reached out to Eto'o, who jumped up, and he grabbed his opponent's ankle, but quickly let go again.

It's too late, Eto'o falls in the box!

Gyuli watched the ball roll to his feet and kicked it towards the empty goal. The stadium stands resounded with the cheers of Barcelona fans.

But......

"Foul!"

The referee's whistle sounded and he ran towards goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, while the Forest players ran to him and they surrounded the referee to intercede.

This is undoubtedly a foul, but how will the referee decide?

Don had already unconsciously stood up completely from his seat.

The familiar scene resurfaced, with Ronaldinho passing and Samuel Eto'o running and Xavi finishing the ball unchanged, with Forest and Arsenal also wearing the yellow away shirt for the game, with only Edwin van der Sar replacing Lehmann.

"The goal is invalidated...... It looks like the referee is going to play a card to Van der Sar...... Red! God, the game has only started eighteen minutes and Van der Sar is off with a red card! He brought down Samuel Eto'o with his hands from outside the box and the referee showed no mercy! ”

In fact, the red card was known to Van der Sar, and when he reached out to Samuel Eto'o, he knew the cost of the foul, but the thought of not wanting to concede the ball took over all of his thoughts at that moment.

At this moment, he was standing outside the crowd with his hands over his face, and his teammates surrounded the referee with some anger, believing that the sentence was too harsh. They were joined by the referee to discuss the Barcelona players. They were unhappy that the goal was cancelled. The Barcelona man thought the best result was a valid goal while Van der Sar was sent off for a red card.

In a fit of rage, Donn kicked the side of the dugout on the shed, shattering the windshield......

"This bastard referee! Does he even know what the art of law enforcement is?! How do we play this game? ”

When he was on fire, Chris Rac had already called in the backup goalkeeper Paul; Gerald warmed up.

No matter how angry Donn is, even if he overturns the entire coach's roof, he can't change the result.

Van der Sar walked off the pitch in frustration as his third Champions League final came to an end.

Forest had to bring on a substitute goalkeeper and replace one player on the pitch at the same time.

Donn opted for backup goalkeeper Paul; Gerrard

When the fourth official holds up the substitution sign. On the field, Anelka couldn't believe it when he saw that he was replaced, and after confirming that it was correct, a large area of clouds suddenly appeared on his face, which was more gloomy than the night sky in Paris.

Albertini ran over to comfort him and tell him to get off the field quickly, but he staggered down and did not talk to Paul; Gerrard high-fived, didn't exhale, and walked straight back to the locker room.

And when he passed by, Donn didn't pay attention to Anelka, who was in a bad mood. He doesn't have that leisure at all. He was staring at the referee on the field and directing the retreating man wall.

It's not bad at all as he remembers, and history is going to repeat itself?

The rain subsided imperceptibly......
