In fact, Nottingham Forest's tactics are very simple, using quick passes and ferocious pressing to create a nervous atmosphere for Barcelona, so that they can create their own agitated emotions and thus play abnormally. At the same time, the venue will also help a lot.

As we all know, Barcelona are not a team that is good at heading, both defensively and offensively. Tony. Don studied aerial tactics for the opponent's weakness.

When Barcelona lost their opening advantage, Nottingham Forest gradually took the initiative on the pitch.

Barcelona emphasise pressing forwards and many of their goals have been scored after counter-attacking in front, a tried and tested approach in La Liga. But it doesn't work for Nottingham Forest right now. Previously, some Catalan media satirized the roughness of English football, and they would say: "Once the defenders of the Premier League face the pressure of the opponent, they only know how to drive the football forward, which is really unskilled!" ”

Now they all know how uncomfortable it is for Barcelona to do this kind of untechnical thing......

The premise of the striker's forward pressing is that the opposing defenders will not easily kick the football out, but like to control the ball at the foot and send the ball out through a series of passes in the backfield. This is a trick often used by defenders in La Liga, and it is a league that places a strong emphasis on individual skills, and even the players of the teams at the bottom of the league table have the ability to use their individual skills to seek breakthroughs in the face of Real Madrid and Barcelona defenses. At this time, relying on the forward to press can cause the opponent's defender to make mistakes, and the ball can be successfully countered on the spot.

Barcelona were able to gain an edge in the league and their tactics helped a lot. However, this move is more physically demanding for the team. The season has come to this point, it is a period when the players' physical fitness has entered a low point, and now Barcelona on the pitch is completely gritting their teeth and persevering, running. If they can use this trick to score early, the game will suddenly open up, and when the tempo of the game is in the palm of Barcelona's hands, Nottingham Forest will have to be led by the nose. With the advantage of Barcelona's overall strength, it will not be difficult to score again.

But now when Bojan, Messi and others pressed up, they found that the defenders of Nottingham Forest did not give them the opportunity to press closely, and when they saw people coming, they kicked the football to the front with a long pass. This really makes the Barcelona players very helpless - forcing to rush, you have to push up to grab, right? But the people of Nottingham Forest didn't even give a chance to force it, and kicked the ball away, they ran in vain, and it was all useless. In the process of running back and forth, the physical exertion does not contribute to the team at all, and in the long run, it is difficult to ensure that their physical strength can last the whole game. When the time comes, the physical fitness will be reduced, the movements will be deformed, the concentration will be lost, and it will be as easy to get injured on such a field as it is to walk......

Nottingham Forest played a long pass and rushed to the front of the court, and the defenders played a long ball to the front, Aaron. Mitchel was waiting there. Long passes can basically reach the target, and the rest is at the level of Mitchel.

At first, Mitchel had a hard time facing Pique, although he was two meters and two meters tall, his body was not strong, but a bit like the original Crouch, with a bamboo pole body.

I fought hard with Pique a few times, and I didn't take advantage of the header that I was good at. During this time, the commentators were always praising Pique, and by the way, also praising Barcelona, although Barcelona's offensive was not as strong as before, they still said: "...... In terms of overall strength, Barcelona must be above Nottingham Forest, there is no doubt about it...... It's only a matter of time before they score, and it's up to them to adjust their mentality against Forest......"

I really don't know what kind of mentality Barcelona has to adjust to face Nottingham Forest and abandon the "light enemy"?

Don saw Mitchel's play in the stands and began to shake his head again: "Mitchel, stupid! ”

Bill, who was next to him, immediately continued: "Do you want to shout this?" ”

"No, Bill......" Donn replied helplessly. He found that although he had a microphone, it was still not as convenient as standing on the sidelines. It's also natural...... But wait, maybe you can! He turned to Bill, who looked at him expectantly.

"You shout, Bill, John. It's like cheering for a player, shouting his name a few times, then shouting a few times: 'technique, awareness, movement'. Can it be done? ”

Fat John didn't say yes right away, but got together with Bill and rehearsed first: "Mitchel! Mitchel! Mitche - Er! Technology! Conscious! Movement...... No, it doesn't feel right! ”

"It's always awkward to shout...... Bill frowned.

The fat man pondered for a while, and suddenly snapped his fingers: "Why are we shouting?" We sing! ”

Bill slapped his face: "That's right! Sing that we're good at it! ”

"Sing?" Tang En was a little surprised, "Then you have to make up the lyrics and arrange the music on the spot, can you do it?" ”

John smiled: "You don't have to worry about making up the lyrics, we just use pop songs for the tunes, I haven't heard of live arrangement......"

The two of them got together and muttered for a while, and then passed the lyrics and tunes they were going to sing to the people next to them one by one, and then they were decided. After brewing emotions for a while, a clear singing voice sounded from the north stand:

"We have a big tall man, and his name is Aron. Mitchel! He is two meters tall and has a good header, excellent bouncing skills! But he doesn't use it, he likes to go head-to-head with people! La-la-la-la! Aaron Aaron is a fool! Tony Tony is angry! Very angry! ”

These people really use the popular songs that Don is familiar with, and they choose the catchy one, the tune is very simple, and many people can sing along with it after listening to it once. Even Tony. Don couldn't help but stand up and wave his arms with the people around him and sing "Tony Tony is angry". He laughed when he finished singing, it was so much fun! It's a feeling you can't enjoy when you're in the dugout.

The song sounded a little abruptly, because the lyrics were so weird......

Some people on the field were attracted to attention, and some people on the sidelines began to look up to find the source of the singing.

In the end, everyone's eyes focused on the wave of arms waving in the North Stand.

“…… He likes to go head-to-head with people! La-la-la-la! Aaron Aaron is a fool! Tony Tony is angry! ”

Don, who was frowning in front of the coach's seat, suddenly smiled, he was the first to understand, knowing that this must be Tony again. Donn's ghost idea. UEFA didn't let him contact the dugout and the players on the pitch, so he used this to "talk". UEFA gagged him alone and thought everything was fine, but he didn't expect that he had 27,000 mouths at home.

The singing is getting louder and louder, because more and more fans are joining this chorus.

Mitchell suddenly noticed that the fans were singing about him, and he was stunned for a moment, listening carefully to the lyrics. Then he blushed......

Of course, he knew that the leader was sitting in the North Stand, so he knew exactly what the song was about. Of course, the leader was dissatisfied with his performance. In the past, if the leaders were dissatisfied, they would yell and dance on the sidelines. Now he sits in the stands and can only express his emotions in this way. Mitchel is not a fool, he knows what to do......

Everyone in Barcelona knows that it is very common for fans to sing in England, they often sing in chorus, and anything can be sung into the lyrics, so most people are not interested in this sudden singing. Only Pique, who had played in England for many years and spoke English and could speak English, noticed something was wrong.

He stared more vigilantly at Mitchel's back, knowing that the next time he tried to use his physical advantage to steal the ball, he might fail.

※※※

Nottingham Forest made another long pass from the backfield, Mitchel did not jump up to compete with Pique, nor did he stay where he was and Pique, but ran back, facing the football, and when the ball fell, he jumped up slightly and pressed the ball down with his chest, and then pressed the ball firmly on the ground with his right foot. Piquet pushed him from behind, and he ran backwards, seemingly away from the attacking zone, but the ball was still at his feet and not lost.

After the football was controlled, Mitchel had no intention of protecting the football, Piqué continued to come up and grab it, he continued to retreat, and when he almost withdrew to the center circle, he suddenly split the football, and then turned and stepped forward!

And at this time, Piquee has been taken out of the original defensive area by Mitchel!

Thiago delivered a through-the-top ball – and that's the result of Donne's training over the course of the week. No matter what kind of pass, if you can pass the ball in the air, try not to pass the ball.

Pique's position was empty, and Puyol had to come over to fill in the position, and Mitchel faced Puyol without taking advantage of his height and header, and he jumped high to take the ball to Puyol's original position.

Receiving the ball was Lennon, Yaya, who suddenly cut in from the wing. Toure was following him closely.

Lennon didn't dribble much either, and it was a transfer after receiving the football, which was passed to Joe, the left wing-back who came in behind. Mattok!

"Nottingham Forest's counter-attack was so fast! In the blink of an eye, even the full-backs assisted. But from another point of view, if Barcelona can cut off this goal, then Nottingham Forest's left side defense is a complete vacuum! ”

Break the ball? Joe. Mattok didn't give Lahm a chance to do that, he crossed straight away!

Bentley, who had been a right wing-back, appeared in the centre-forward position at this moment, and he jumped up without reaching the ball but attracted Valdés' attention, followed by Aaron. Mitchel!

Due to the previous battles with Pique, Mitchel was completely at a disadvantage, so the Barcelona players who didn't know anything about him thought that this kid didn't look tall, but he couldn't head the ball at all. Puyol didn't go to the defense, only Piqué was following him. He wasn't familiar with Mitchel either, but he knew that the boss would dare to use him in this game, so there must be a reason for him......

Mitchel sprinted and jumped some distance from the target, sliding towards the ball, and Piqué didn't dare to slack off and jumped up and reached out to interfere with Mitchel.

The general opinion is that the taller the person, the better the bounce. But Mitchel broke that preconceived notion by jumping higher than anyone else in front of goal! Pique, who is 1.91 meters tall, can't keep up with Mitchel's height at all.

At this moment, he is Mount Everest on the city field!

Piquee could only use his body to hit Mitchel, praying that he would be disturbed.

He did it. Mitchel was hit by Piquee when he hit the ball, and the center of gravity was lost, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced high into the net before landing on top of the net......

Mitchel loses his center of gravity and falls to the ground.

Donn blurted out, "Fucking penalty!!" ”

This time, Beal didn't ask Donn if he needed to pass the sentence, because all the Nottingham Forest fans were roaring in unison: "Penalty! Foul! ”

The referee and the linesman agreed - goalkick.

Bentley protested to the referee with open arms, who simply shook his finger at him and pointed to his own eyes to show that he could see clearly that Pique had not committed a foul.

Mitchel got up from the ground and the football didn't score, the referee didn't give a penalty, and kicked the post in annoyance, then shook his head and ran back.

The reaction to being a son was not too violent, but there was one person in the stands who reacted more than him.

"That's my son! That's my son!! Mitchel's worker's father pointed at his son from the stands and shouted, "You bitch referee!!" Pique, this kid clearly knocked down my son, why didn't he award a penalty! I wish you no asshole when you have a baby, black-hearted referee!! ”

In fact, when he found out that Mitchel actually started the game, he could directly stuff a light bulb with his big mouth. Then he figured out why his son was behaving so abnormally these days. But his joy only lasted for a while, and then he began to worry that his son's bad performance would affect the performance of the whole team, so that if he went home, he would be laughed at by the neighbors.

At first, his son's performance did show signs of moving in the direction that his father feared. When the song sounded in the stands, he sang it with great effort, especially in the place where the phrase "Aaron Aaron is stupid", he sang harder than anyone else, almost gritting his teeth. It's as if he was scolding his uncompetitive son to his face.

He even promised in his heart that if his son did well in this race, he would go to buy his son a car the next day. Aron. Mitchel was always talking about how his teammates were driving to train and that he was the only one on the bus...... I always want a car of my own.

When his son behaved better and was treated unfairly, he naturally screamed louder than anyone else. Look at the way he rolled up his sleeves, as if he wanted to rush down the stands to find the referee to settle the score in a man's way.

※※※

Seeing that the referee did not give a penalty, Don took the lead in booing, so there was a huge boo in the stands. They don't care if the referee is justified or not, anyway, they didn't let them get their wish, so wait to be booed!

Boos are just a way for fans to vent their frustration and do nothing to change the situation on the field. The game continues. Although the goal was not scored and no penalty was awarded, it bodes well for Nottingham Forest - Barcelona's defence is still weak, and their defences are only capable of holding up a few points with Pique. But as everyone saw just now, Pique may not be able to find the upper hand when facing Mitchel.

This gave the Nottingham Forest players a lot of confidence that Barcelona are not invincible giants, and they can boldly attack in the next games, continue to put pressure on Barcelona's backline, and will definitely be able to score!

Barcelona struggled to control the situation, but Nottingham Forest's aggressive pressing tactics and poor pitch prevented them from doing so.

However, the long ball used by Nottingham Forest, which was despised by the Catalan media, gradually showed its terrifying side in front of Barcelona with a flow of technology. Football crashed into Barcelona's defence, each time with a thrilling roar, and it seemed that the wall could not hold out for much longer.

Guardiola bit his lip off the pitch and turned white, and his face was grim.
