Victor. Valdés may be the main goalkeeper with the worst reputation among all European giants, not because he is not strong enough, but because his performance is inconsistent, and there are often some inexplicable low-level mistakes, such as kicking the ball directly to the opponent's feet to cause own assists, and making mistakes in saving the ball......

But this time he really can't be blamed......

Nottingham Forest's turf and pitch combined to create the goal. Valdés fell to his knees and slapped the culprit – a bulging piece of turf at his feet, which had just bounced up just as the ball had rolled to this point, playfully dodging Valdés' right leg to make the Forest's goal.

"Nottingham Forest's vegetable field has made a difference!" The commentator shouted excitedly, "Alves' return pass caused Valdés to make a mistake, and Abonlaho scored the ball easily!" It was so dramatic that the Barcelona players still couldn't believe their eyes, and Valdés could only vent his anger on the turf...... Anyway, Nottingham Forest now take the lead, drawing on aggregate with Barcelona and dominating with an away goal! ”

"Returning the goalkeeper on a pitch like this, Alves has to take responsibility for the goal he conceded!"

※※※

When the Barcelona players saw the football slip away from Valdés' feet, everyone was in a state of desperate panic. Some people even held their heads in their hands in advance and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Pep Guardiola sat expressionlessly in the coach's box, with his hands on his chest, and it was impossible to tell from his face what mood he was in at this moment. He's not the kind of manager who swears after conceding a goal, he and Toney. Don couldn't be more different.

Look next door, Chris Rac rushed out of the coach's box with his arms raised high, and hugged people when he saw them, quite Tony. Donne's demeanor. The other assistant coach, Don, was so calm that he just clenched his fists and waved.

Tony. What about Donn?

As the ball slipped past Valdés' feet, Donn rose from his seat like everyone else around him, arms raised and cheering.

Finally, when he joined tens of thousands of fans and shouted: "Forest Forest! Nottingham Forest! I felt a passion that I had never felt before in the coach's seat.

"Well done!" After cheering, John gave a thumbs up to the celebrating Forest players, "We equalized!" ”

Donn corrected his statement: "No, we're ahead. ”

It's good that he didn't speak, and as soon as he said this, Fat John pressed at him like a mountain of meat: "Tony! Aha, what a brilliant idea! Sure enough, they suffered on this land! Do you see their expressions? It's so exciting! Ha ha! ”

"Hey, John...... I'm going to be out of breath......"

※※※

The goal-scorer was so excited that he ran to the North Stand with his mouth open and roared, waving his arms at the most die-hard fans there, which immediately drew even more cheers for him.

Don didn't cheer like the rest of the fans this time, he just gave a thumbs up to Abang Lajo below. He doesn't know if Abang Lajo sees him or not, but he's still going to act like a manager.

In fact, Abang Laho is looking for a leader. He quickly found it in the crowd, because the leader was different, and he was smiling at him!

"Hey, guys! I see the head! The excited Abang Laho pointed to the stands and shouted to his teammates who came to celebrate next to him, and for a while everyone turned their eyes to the stands and looked in the direction that Abang Laho pointed, and sure enough, they all saw Tony. Donn's figure.

"Hey, let's change the celebratory move!"

Abonraho took the lead in a U.S. Marine Corps-like salute and saluted the stands. The other players also learned to salute Donn.

Tang En's expression also returned the salute with a serious expression, quite a general's style.

The players, who had collectively saluted the leader, ran away again and got ready to play again.

And Tony. The fans next to Donn were still excited, singing Forest anthems, over and over again. Even Don sang along with them later.

"We are invincible, we are invincible! We are the best team in the world and we are Nottingham Forest!! ”

Nottingham Forest's goal hit Barcelona a bit hard, and the Barcelona players looked a little flustered on the pitch after the game restarted. As soon as Forest's frontcourt players pressed the slightest, they immediately kicked forward with a big kick - and they would definitely not dare to pass back, for fear that if the football jumped naughtily in front of Valdés again, it would be completely finished.

So in order not to break the football under their feet, everyone chose to kick forward with their big feet.

This is a great help to Nottingham Forest. Barcelona's attacking threat is when the ball is on the ground, and when they kick the ball into the air for fear of making a mistake, they are not even a first-class team against Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest easily took control of the situation on the pitch, besieging Barcelona's goal again and again.

Fortunately, Valdés was not affected by the goal conceded, and his performance was normal, and he made many high interceptions to ensure that the team did not lose the door. The other busy guy is Pique. Pique's game was in good form, with Nottingham Forest playing in the air and the height and header advantage making him the only man to trust at the back of Barcelona's defence.

In the battle with Mitchel, he was not completely underdogged, which is one of the reasons why Barcelona have not conceded another goal so far. But Piqué felt that the situation was not good. Because he had given all his strength, and the big man, who was more than two meters tall, seemed to be still looking for a feeling and did not exert his full strength. If he goes on like this, he really doesn't know if he can last 90 minutes......

At the end of the first half, Nottingham Forest, who had been predicted to be defending at home before the game, instead surrounded Barcelona's penalty area and launched a frenzied siege. Barcelona couldn't even get past half time, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Pep Guardiola was restless and very anxious on the sidelines. He just wants the first half to end quickly so he can make adjustments. He didn't care about any face, and waved his hand to ask the team to return to the defense and survive the last five minutes.

The last five minutes were nothing short of an ordeal for Barcelona's players. They had never seen Nottingham Forest attack so wildly at Camp Nou, and they even thought that Nottingham Forest would not attack at all, but would only sneak up once in a while.

But now Nottingham Forest's attack has left the Catalan commentator speechless.

On the contrary, the commentators in England were very excited. He kept chanting the names of the Forest players.

"Aaron. Lennon's breakthrough was beautiful, he crossed! Mitchel's header! It's a pity that the top is too positive, and it was obtained by Valdés! ”

'Thiago's long-range shot – grazed the post and flew out!'

Nottingham Forest seemed to be trying to force a break down the middle to open the way, and Mitchel leaned in on Piqui and relied on his leg length to pass the ball to Abang Lajo. Abang Laho shook a shot straight through! Bentley showed up in the box and he received the ball, almost a one-on-one shot! Shot! Valdés pounced on the football......"

"Barcelona fouled on the right side of the penalty area, the Shaolin abbot after the 80s! It's a shame, it's like getting in from this angle......"

'Nottingham Forest broke the ball in midfield and Barcelona tried to pass it out, but they were met by George. Wood's relentless resistance. He passed the ball to Thiago and ran forward himself...... Two over one match, beautiful! Nottingham Forest made a one-two in front of Barcelona, Yaya. Toure is played by Wood and Thiago! Pique's tight grip on Mitchel...... Long shot! George. Wood came straight with a long-range shot that went just over the crossbar! Listen to the voices in the stands, they thought the ball was going in! ”

"Joe. Mattok crosses! Aron. Mitchel – The Goalpost!! Heck, today it seems that Lady Luck did not favor the young Mitchel, who put a football on the goalpost for the second time in the game! His height and header were a big threat to Barcelona's goal, but his luck was poor, or rather, ...... Luck in Barcelona too good? ”

In the flood of Nottingham Forest's attack, the referee became Barcelona's savior. When he blew the whistle for the end of the first half, even the hardest Barcelona fans thought that if Nottingham Forest did it again, Barcelona's defence would crumble.

'Pep Guardiola should be thankful for this first half because at least they haven't had any players injured because of that terrible pitch, they just conceded a goal.' At the end of the first half, the commentator joked.

Donn got up from his seat and said to Bill and John next to him, "Hey, guys, do you want to go get some drinks, I'm in for a treat." ”

"Aren't you not allowed to drink?" Bill asked.

"Of course I can't drink it, but I can drink juice, you can choose what you like."

"You're in a good mood, Tony."

"Because we're ahead, ha!" As he spoke, a group of people walked towards the exit.

"Aren't you worried about Pep Guardiola making any changes in midfield? Barcelona is also a world powerhouse ......"

Don laughed: "Unless he can figure out a way to level the field in fifteen minutes, Barcelona don't want to turn the game around." Their skills simply don't show off on a pitch like this, and if they switch to high-altitude balls, they might as well continue to endure terrible ground attacks. ”

Yes, he calculated everything, and this game must have eaten Barcelona to death. So he wasn't worried at all that UEFA wouldn't let him into the dressing room, and there might be any bad effects. He believes the outcome of this match was decided when he came up with the idea of "vegetable patch".

I am the Buddha, Guardiola, no matter how stubborn you monkey is, you can't turn over the palm of my hand, wahaha!

"Let's go, guys, I'll ask you for a drink. Moisten your throat, and maybe I'll use you all again in the second half! ”

※※※

While Donn was drinking and chatting at the stadium's drinks with his "microphone", Barcelona's dressing room was a bit bleak.

The team's physiotherapists were massaging the ankles and knees of the Barcelona players one by one to prevent them from spraining in the second half. The atmosphere was a bit dreary, and everyone didn't know what to say. It's terrible to play on a pitch like this, and their proudest technical advantage can't be used at all, and they can only be led by the nose by Nottingham Forest.

If the game continues like this...... The consequences are unimaginable. Maybe they can also count on Nottingham Forest to make the same mistake they made in the first half?

Pep Guardiola poured cold water on them: "Don't expect the opponent to make mistakes, we have to play our own game in this game. ”

But how do you play well...... Pep Guardiola also has no idea. The locker room was cold again.

For the first time, the seasoned Barcelona players may have this feeling - this game is not playable, not because we are not good, but because the opponent is too cunning. Who would have thought that Nottingham Forest would not hesitate to renovate their stadium for the sake of a game victory......

After a moment of silence, Guardiola re-spoken: "In the second half we gave them possession. ”

Everyone looked up with a look of surprise on their faces. Barcelona's football always controls the football at its own feet and gives away the ball to the hand, which is not in line with Barcelona's style.

Pep Guardiola had no choice but to explain why he did it: "That's right. The quality of the turf at the City Stadium is so poor that holding the ball at the foot for long periods of time increases the risk of losing the ball. So I think it's better for us to give football to the other side. Once the football is at the foot of Nottingham Forest, no matter where he is, the people around me have to go up and round him. Launch a quick counterattack as soon as the siege is down! ”

It was a good idea, and the Barcelona players accepted the manager's offer.

"Pique, how do you feel defending Mitchel?" Pep Guardiola turned again to ask the defender.

Piquee gasped: "I feel a little strained, coach...... I'm afraid I can't guard against it alone. ”

Pep Guardiola looked around at the players present, and he found that apart from the veteran Marcos in the substitute list, there really didn't seem to be a header to get the ball to, but Marcos is getting older and his form has declined so much that he has rarely been able to play now. In such an important game, he really didn't want to put his life on the old Marcos.

So his gaze crossed over to Marcos and fell on Puyol: "Karls, you help Piquee in the second half, I don't ask you to beat their number nine in the header, but don't let him jump and head so easily. ”

Puyol nodded, indicating that he understood what he had to do.

Then it's time for mental suggestion.

"Don't give up until the last second! We have 45 minutes to go, and with just one goal, Nottingham Forest will be in turmoil. But before that, we ourselves must not panic in the first place! I saw that in the final stages of the first half, you were panicking. That's not going to work! This is absolutely not a no-go! Your panic will only make your opponents more proud. I know we're going to suffer a lot from a venue like this, but if you're all about bad pitches, then I guarantee you have absolutely no hope of winning. This is Tony. Don's tricks, you have to put all your energy into the game, and don't think about anything else! The more you think about it, the worse it may be! ”

Pep Guardiola has a serious face, probably deep down in his heart, and the result is bad enough......
