The ball bounced in front of Kaka, a long pass from the back, and Kaka was ready to wait for the ball to be the right height to push the ball away with his head, and then accelerate past George. Wood.

He was about to poke his head out when he felt a gust of wind pass across his forehead.

Wood, who came running from the side, flew up and kicked the bouncing soccer ball into the air with his big foot.

The two collided and the referee blew the whistle for Wood to raise his foot too high, which was a threatening gesture, and awarded AC Milan a free-kick in front.

Wood felt aggrieved. It's true that ordinary people don't lift their feet to that height, but football has reached that height, what can he do? You can't do nothing and watch Kaka push the ball away with his head, right? In that case, if you want to succeed in stopping it, you can only rely on the back tackle......

Besides, he didn't hurt Kaka, Kaka's head was still some distance from his feet.

Wood tried to argue, but was stopped by Albertini.

"Don't mess with the referee, watch out for a yellow card on you." The captain kept Wood behind him and stepped forward to negotiate with the referee.

He was deliberately delaying the game and taking advantage of every opportunity he could. This includes, for example, arguing a few words with the referee for each controversial decision.

AC Milan in the stands booed dissatisfied, not for Wood's foul, but for the referee not to give a yellow card after Wood's foul.

Now everyone knows that Wood has a card on him, and if he does one more, he's gone. George. What Wood's departure means for Forest is clear to all.

Albertini is running out of energy, and the Forest team only has a midfield defender like Wood, and if they can get Wood down, AC Milan's attack can go straight to the Yellow Dragon.

So now Kaka's chances of getting the ball have increased significantly.

AC Milan's free-kick didn't have any effect, as the foul was too far from Forest's goal, and the indirect free-kick was headed away by Pepe, with Maldini and Nesta scurrying back again. The Forest team immediately responded with a quick counter-attack.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot ended up in Dida's arms.

Seventy-five minutes into the game, AC Milan scored a goal and wanted to take advantage of this momentum, but they didn't expect Nottingham Forest's defense to be more tenacious than they thought, that George. Completely ignoring the background of his yellow card, Wood showed no signs of letting up on Kaka's defence, fouling when he should have committed a foul and not hesitating when he dared to make a tackle. It seems that unless you find a way to get him down, Kaka's side will always follow this number 13.

However, AC Milan did not give up because of this, and the difference of one goal has always stimulated them, telling them that as long as they work hard, score a goal, and the situation on the field can be reversed. This is the spiritual backbone of all AC Milan. At this time, no one thought about such an ethereal thing as a "championship trophy". The only thing you have to think about when you're in a game is how to win the game, and what the benefits of winning the game are, you have to wait until the game is won.

The football was passed to Kaka again. This time AC Milan pushed forward as a whole and pressed the Forest defence to the edge of the penalty area, and the downside of this was that he didn't have much room to accelerate his breakthrough, and as long as Wood held his position, Kaka had a lot fewer options to make.

Don't think that Kaka is no threat if he doesn't break through, Wood didn't dare to let his guard down, he pressed against Kaka's feet tightly, and the football was being trampled under his feet.

Both Pirlo and Seedorf were inserting into the box, and Kaka stepped on the ball and the image pulled back, and Wood thought he was going to pass the ball with his heel to the inserted Pirlo and Seedorf, and his body followed suit.

Pirlo ran past Kaka, but the ball didn't reach him.

Kaka pulled the ball back, then lifted it on his toes, jumped the ball on the spot, and volleyed it directly!

The soccer ball slipped through the crack that Wood had moved away!

"Kaka's shot!"

It was the second time it broke through Wood's defence, albeit with just the ball......

While everyone was applauding Kaka's shot, one chose to say no to this kind of brilliant goal.

Van der Sar flew in and grabbed the ball in the air with both hands, and quickly curled up after landing on the ground, holding the ball to his chest. In order to get the ball around Wood, Kaka pursued too much angle, and his shot power and speed were much less.

"Where's our offense!" Van der Sar got up from the ground and threw his fists at his teammates with a soccer ball.

He didn't want to be a regular in a close-up of a TV broadcast at such an important game.

※※※

Albertini patted Wood on the shoulder, his breathing loud as a wind tunnel.

"George, now I don't even have the strength to run, don't pass the ball to me anymore. Let's switch positions......" he pointed to the front, "you go up when you attack, I'll pass you in the back." ”

Looking at the captain who was leaning over his knees with his hands and leaning over to talk to himself, Wood did not refuse this time. He nodded, "Okay." ”

"If you get a chance, go forward, don't worry you won't get the ball, even though I can't run, but I still have the strength to pass the ball. Pirlo and Gattuso watched me all this time, so if we switch positions, they won't be able to get used to it. However, the time is short, and with the ability of the AC Milan players, even if the manager does not give instructions, they can adjust themselves. You're not a midfielder who can make a difference with multiple markers, so you'll want to take advantage of the defensive vacuum during this time. Can it be done, George? ”

Albertini looked up at Wood.

Wood nodded again. "Yes."

"Good." Albertini smiled.

※※※

As the game continued, AC Milan did not give up their chances to score, and at this point they had little choice but to try to score.

Carlo Ancelotti replaced the ineffective Jankulovski with Kaladze in the 77th minute, AC Milan switched to a back three, and Odor was pushed into midfield to get involved.

Two minutes later, Carlo Ancelotti replaced Inzaghi with Gilardino who had run to the point of running to the point of exhaustion.

The match was really depressing for Inzaghi. Because Nottingham Forest always carried out Donn's non-offside requirements, when Milan attacked, the Forest penalty area was full of people, Pepe's technique was to follow him inch by inch, and it was difficult for him to find a chance to shoot. I can only keep running, keep running, hoping to find holes in the Forest team's defense.

As a result, until he left the game, he did not find a decent opportunity.

As he walked off the field, the TV screen showed his distance for the race – 11,134 metres. After running eleven kilometers and not scoring a goal, can you not be depressed?

Inzaghi gasped and left the pitch with his head bowed, he high-fived Gilardino on the sidelines, then walked back to the bench and sat there, towel over his head and no longer spoke.

He knew he didn't have a few years left in his career. In 2003 he won the Champions League for AC Milan, but in 2005 he reached the final without a result. 2007 was a great opportunity to take revenge, but now the score is 1:2, AC Milan is behind, he himself has been replaced because he has exhausted his physical strength without contribution, and now he can only be a spectator, and he has no power to return to the sky if he has the intention of killing thieves......

He wants to win another trophy, more than anyone else. As a striker, I can only pray that my teammates work hard to create miracles, what a shameful thing it is!

Inzaghi's fate made Donn breathe a sigh of relief. In his opinion, Gilardino and Inzaghi are not at all a level of strikers, even if Inzaghi does not score, just run back and forth on the field, and his own back line does not dare to move - he is afraid of giving Inzaghi the opportunity to shoot from an offside position. Alex Ferguson has said that Inzaghi is a striker born offside, and Donn couldn't agree more.

It used to be said that Brazil's Cristiano Ronaldo was the kind of striker who could change the outcome of a game by giving him a second. But in fact, Donn feels that this sentence is more suitable for Inzaghi, who is the real striker who only needs a second, a point grab, can change the outcome of the game. He's going to have to dribble too much, he's not going to have any fancy tricks, he just needs to be in the right place when he needs to, then stretch out his foot to finish and the ball will fly into the net.

Seeing Inzaghi being substituted, Donn got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines, where he made a gesture to tell his players that a massive attack was time to be considered.

He didn't want to send the game to extra time, he never thought about it that way. End the battle in 90 minutes, and tell the world with real results that Milan wants to defy the sky? There are no doors!

※※※

Wood is consciously stepping forward, he's not as overwhelmed as he was a season ago, and now he's very clear about his purpose, he knows how to run, what to do when he gets up, how to do it. All of this is thanks to Albertini's careful teaching throughout the year.

He received a pass from Albertini, and Gattuso was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this time it was not Albertini, but George. Wood.

Wood looked at the situation in front of him and gave the football to Ashley. Young, he didn't choose to break through with the ball. He knew that it wasn't his specialty, so he left this kind of work to the professionals......

Instead of running back, Wood, who had finished passing the ball, pulled Gattuso and ran forward with him.

With AC switching to a back three, there was more space on both of Forest's wings, Ashley. Young received the ball and resolutely broke through the bottom cross, and his pass sent Nesta to the bottom line. Forest won a corner.

Gattuso looked around and Wood was gone. He didn't pay attention to it, in the past, those corners, Wood would run back to defend, and this time should be no exception.

Albertini didn't come up to take the corner, it was Gareth who came running. Bel.

The football kicked off and there was chaos in the penalty area. It wasn't Van der Vaart, or Pepe or Pique, who jumped high in the crowd and threw the ball towards goal, but ......

"George. Wood! ”

The number 13 against the red background is very conspicuous in the air, he did not jump on the spot, he rushed in from outside the penalty area. He jumped higher than anyone else, and the football found him, a powerful lion flicking his head!

Dida didn't react, but the ball hit the crossbar!

"Phew-" the AC Milan fan let out a loud exclamation.

"Why is he there?!" Ancelotti couldn't help but ask such questions. Forest have won a couple of corners in previous games, and each time Wood was ready to guard against a counter-attack in the second half. Not only in this game, but in the previous games of the Forest team, the central defenders and full-backs went up, and the person in charge of defending at the back was George. Wood.

There was no mention of Wood's involvement in corner kicks in any of the intelligence, and it was not known what his header and bounce would be useful in attack, but this time they saw it.

Watching the ball hit the crossbar and bounce off the line, Wood didn't grab his hair and get annoyed in front of the opposition goal, he turned and sprinted back into the defensive zone.

AC Milan's goalball was very fast, and as soon as the ball popped up, the caddie threw the spare ball in, and Dida set the ball up, watched everyone push out of the box, and drove it to the front.

If Wood is still frustrated by not scoring, Forest may be conceding again, he is not a striker, and he can use this action to try to show his face on TV after missing a chance.

Dida's big foot was pushed down by Albertini and handed to Pepe.

Pepe made a long pass, shook off Gilardino and chose to break through with the ball directly.

His intentions on the ball were spotted by Kaka, who cut off Pepe's ball in early position. The centre-backs conceded a goal that was a blow to Forest's defence and a great opportunity for AC Milan. There was a huge cheer from the Milan fans in the stands.

Before the sound could dissipate, Kaka conceded the ball.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

He cut off Pepe's ball, only to be stabbed away by Wood, who was back in position.

When Kaka was about to accelerate, he found that the ball was gone, and his first instinct was to turn around and chase it. After 80 minutes of entanglement, he already knew that if he missed the ball, it must have been Wood's doing.

Kaka turned to chase Wood, who had no intention of passing the ball.

On the one hand, his teammates are too far away from him, and on the other hand, there are not many defenders in front of him at the moment, and Gattuso and Ambrosini are not pressing up at the first time, which gives him an opportunity to break through.

There is another reason why he wants to break through - it is Kaka who is chasing after him.

How did that goal go to AC Milan? Isn't it just that Kaka started from the middle circle and ran all the way, so that he couldn't break it even if he wanted to?

He's got a chance to fight back.

You're going to cut my ball, Kaka!

Kaka chased after him, and he did want to break the ball. But when he wants to stretch his foot to break the ball, he will inevitably slow down, and that will give Wood a chance to open up.

Kaka suddenly realized how Wood was feeling.

Wood's dribbling fundamentals are very good, his dribbling is standard, and his pace is not slow. This is thanks to the basic training he has been doing every day since he joined the Forest training base.

He knows that he is not a player who has been professionally trained since he was a child, and Don knows that. So both of them are very strict about basic training.

Wood is conscious, and Donn is strictly supervised, and he has developed the ability of Wood to dribble the ball and make Kaka unable to get off his feet.

Kaka wanted to force an overtake with his speed to give the tackle plenty of time, but he found that Wood was just as fast, and he had no other way but to follow......

"George. Wood's dribble! It's a rare sight that Wood actually dribbles the ball to the front court, and Kaka is following him and waiting for the opportunity to break the ball......"

Kaka looked in front of him, Gattuso and Ambrosini had noticed Wood's intentions and planned to come over and join in.

Looks like Wood can't run.

"Watch out for his passing!!" Maldini yelled in the back, leaving Gattuso and Ambrosini stunned at the same time.

How did they forget, how could Wood be so dribbling the ball to the Yellow Dragons? It's definitely a pass!

Wood also saw what was happening, and he was close to the two midfielders.

He didn't understand what Maldini was shouting, but he didn't mean to pass the ball, not because he was confident in his breakthrough, but because he didn't care where his teammates were going......

Seeing that there was still a gap between the two people, Wood did not hesitate to slam the football forward!

The ball rolled between Gattuso and Ambrosini, and at the same time Wood suddenly accelerated, rushing over before the encirclement could close!

"Ahhh Nice break! One over two! George. Wood's speed is intimidating! Is he really just a midfielder? ”

Kaka knew that things were not going well when he saw Gattuso and Ambrosini stunned. He wasn't worried that Wood would pass the ball, he had a thought in his head - this kid was going to break through, he was going to break through!

And so it was.

Wood forced his way out of the encirclement of Gattuso and Ambrosini with his speed, and Kaka was not surprised at all, as he bypassed his two teammates and chased after him at speed.

He stayed with Wood and didn't believe he couldn't find the right opportunity to break the ball. Other than that...... If it's really dangerous, he doesn't mind committing a foul right away and risking his cards to stop Forest's attack.

Unexpectedly, Gattuso and Ambrosini were broken through. Maldini and Nesta were stunned for a moment.

It seems that they all underestimated Wood's speed and determination to break forward......

Can't let him move forward anymore!

That was the only thought Nesta had when he reacted, and he rushed forward.

※※※

From the moment Wood started to break forward with the ball, Donn got up from the dugout. When he saw Wood break through the defense of Gattuso and Ambrosini with his speed, he couldn't help but run along the line towards AC Milan's goal, as if this would help Wood break through AC Milan's blockade more smoothly.

As he ran, he muttered:

"e_on, George......"

The sound grew louder and faster as Wood ran, and seemed to be the beat of the drum in response to Wood's footsteps.

※※※

Nesta decided not to let Wood break through from him, and he did what he said!

Wood had slipped the ball out of his body to break through Gattuso and Ambrosini, and now he was going to accelerate his pursuit, after all, he still didn't have control of the ball. In this case, the rules consider that the attacker and the defender have half the chance, and a physical collision will not simply be blamed on the defender's foul.

It was this opportunity that Nesta was going to take advantage of, and he used himself as a wall for Wood to crash headlong into.

Kaka saw that Wood and Nesta were about to meet, and he believed that Nesta's defense would force Wood to slow down, or even stop completely, and that would be his chance.

He's ready to break the ball.

But...... He found that Wood still had no intention of slowing down!

※※※

“e_on！ George! ”

Don yelled.

Wood and Nesta, who were sprinting at full speed, collided without any suspense.

"Oh God......" the narrator let out a wail.

Kaka wants to pick up the ball, but what about football? He didn't see it, not by Nesta's side, not by Wood's side. Football is gone?!

The Nottingham Forest fans in the stands burst into cheers. If you listen carefully, you will hear that they are calling out a person's name.

“…… Wood ...... Wood ...... Eastwood! Eastwood!! ”

Wood made reasonable use of the rules before colliding with Nesta, and the tackle was evenly split between the offensive and defensive sides, and the body collision did not call a foul on one side, and fell to the ground before Nesta passed the football shovel to the front.

He didn't have time to observe his teammates around him, but he looked up and caught a glimpse of Eastwood, a gypsy. Does he have an AC Milan defender next to him? Was he offside? Wood didn't have time to think about any of these situations, he just passed the football to the only teammate in his field of vision, and the mission was done.

※※※

The Forest fans were cheering, and AC Milan captain Maldini stood on the line of the penalty area and raised his right hand to signal Eastwood offside, which was ineffective!

Just as Wood was about to meet Nesta, experience told Maldini that he should move forward and let Eastwood fall into an offside trap at the far end.

So he moved forward, and when he glanced at the other man for the last time, he saw that Nottingham Forest's No.11 was still standing still. He felt that his tactic had succeeded, so he raised his hand to signal to the referee.

But he didn't hear any whistles. What about linesmen?

When Maldini turned to look for the linesman, he saw that there was another person before him and the linesman. The man wore the white AC Milan shirt and played in a better position than himself...... Further down than Nottingham Forest's No.11!

No offside!

Eastwood received the ball from Wood and turned around. He also looked up at the linesman and found that the linesman did not raise the flag because AC Milan's third defender, Karadze, was dragging behind!

Dida also thought Eastwood was offside and raised his hand in front of the goal line. The next second, he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly attacked.

The unmarked Eastwood picked up his right foot and volleyed hard, deceiving Dida into losing his center of gravity and then deftly picking it up!

"Spoon!" The Italian narrator exclaimed.

The ball crosses over Dida's head and crashes into the empty goal with ease!

“yes！ 3：1！ In the 83rd minute, it was the goal that almost sealed the victory! The England commentator rose from his seat and shook his fist vigorously.

"George. Wood's sudden insertion and forced breakthrough made a mess of AC Milan's defence! Kaka he can only run, he can only run! "The English commentator and the Italian commentator are next door, and this time he can finally vent his bad anger." There's nothing he can do, poor man......"

"Nottingham Forest are two goals ahead again! Will this be the straw that breaks the camel's back?! ”

Karadze, who had dragged behind and failed to make Maldini's offside position, stood in a daze, focusing on Wood and Nesta, not expecting Wood to deliver the ball to Eastwood's feet in such a situation.

"You've got Kaka, we've got Wood!" Forest fans in the stands sang "Hymn to Wood". "We still have Eastwood! We have forests where you come in and get lost! Want to get out? Want to get out? Keep the championship trophy behind! ”

Maldini looked up at the night sky, and for a moment, he was also confused. He's had countless fights in his career, with wins and losses, all sorts of feelings. At this moment, something familiar came to mind, and it was a bad feeling......

He felt he might lose the title again.

But the thought only flashed through his mind for a second, and he shook his head and shook it off. No, there are seven minutes left, and I refuse to admit defeat!

※※※

After the goal, Eastwood turned to the referee again to confirm that he saw the linesman running towards the halfway line, and the referee also whistled and pointed to the center circle - the goal was valid.

The goal works!

Eastwood turned and ran towards the Forest dugout.

He opened his arms and shouted that behind him were all the Forest's players on the field, and if they caught them, it would be a stack of Arhats.

In front of him was the jubilant Forest bench and coach's box. His target is Tony. Dawn.

It was the guy who told him that he was going to be a legendary striker in the future, the guy who came up to him when he could only play amateur football and asked him if he wanted to play professional football, the guy who told him that fate is one choice after another when he was seriously injured and hospitalized and was about to give up, and that your fate is what you choose.

Listening to him, I went to play professional football; After listening to him, I chose not to give up; Listening to his words, Freddie is what he is today. Eastwood ......

I want to thank you, sir!

Don waited with open arms to hug Eastwood, but was knocked to the ground by the Gypsy without brakes. A group of people seemed to have premeditated and pressed on it together.

The stacking of Arhats with full participation is really spectacular......

"Team rules don't allow...... Yes! ”

Donn's screams were drowned out in a storm of cheers.

"Forest! Forest! Nottingham Forest! ”

"Champion! Champion! We are the champions! ”
