"Frank with a more flexible location. Ribery burst out with amazing energy, and compared to him in the previous two seasons, he is now at the level of the world footballer! The commentator was still praising Ribery and the game had already restarted.

'He was anchored on the left wing when he first started his debut and his first season in the Premier League was amazing and successful. But at that time, he was at best a short and good wide attacker. Later Tony. Donn asked him to move a little bit down the middle, and the positional tweaks gave us a more well-rounded Frank. Ribery. Whether it's breaking through the ball on the wing, scoring in the middle, or even organizing the attack, he does a great job! ”

Just as Ribery got the ball, the commentator immediately became excited: "It's Frank . . . Ribery takes the ball! ”

Ribery, who scored the goal, felt he was in very good form and he was going to take on Ramos alone. The result is...... He was stuck by Ramos and couldn't cut inside, his speed was also suppressed, and the ball at his feet was tackled out of the sideline by Ramos on the ground.

Seeing that the ball was shoveled out of bounds, Van der Vaart, who was waiting next to him to answer, was a little dissatisfied, and he waved his hand. He was next to Ribery just now, unmarked for the time being, if Ribery passed the football to him, he would have the opportunity to transfer the football out and reorganize the attack, but Ribery chose to go head-to-head alone, ignoring his teammates to come up to pick up.

Ribery saw Van der Vaart's gesture and quickly raised his hand to apologize to him. He did ignore his teammates just now, and he was a little carried away by the goal just now.

Forest won a throw-in but did not pose much of a threat to Real Madrid. Bale's pass was intercepted and Real Madrid took the opportunity to launch a counter-attack, with Nottingham Forest quickly dropping back to defend – except for George. Wood.

The football was passed to Guti's feet again, and George. Wood didn't retreat but went forward.

Guti was still in the centre circle, and Forest's two wings were quickly returning to the defense. Wood intends to build a first line of defence in the centre circle.

Seeing Wood coming up, Guti was going to pass the ball, but when he looked up to find someone, he found that there was no suitable way to get the ball. Just stunned for a moment, George. Wood is already in sight.

Guti flicked the ball to the left and then jerked it back, trying to get rid of the opposition.

Which thought of George. Wood wasn't fooled, he just leaned over and forced Guti to turn around. As long as Guti turns his body and guards the ball with his back to the attack, the Forest players have plenty of time to run back to defend.

In order to protect the ball, Guti had to turn. In this way, he will not be able to send the football to the most dangerous place in the first place.

This is not the thing that annoys Guti the most, what makes him unhappy is that Wood keeps rushing behind his back, and there are many small movements. The leg tried to reach in front of him to grab the ball, but he couldn't reach it, so he had to kick Guti's ankle...... Guti didn't want to get entangled with the other side here, he wasn't stupid, he knew it was tantamount to slowing down his team's attack. So he passed the ball to Diarra and glared back at Wood.

He glared at the look Wood. That look was definitely not "friendly", cold, as if he was not looking at people, but prey. Guti hated the look, and he felt insulted.

He ran forward, and Wood retreated with him.

He knew that he was the target of the kid in this match, and he decided to give the other party a good look.

※※※ In this game, the Forest team played a defensive counterattack, which was different from the Forest team's flawed back line against Real Madrid. Against a dense and holistic Nottingham Forest team, Real Madrid's attacking players will have to brainstorm.

After a series of passes, the ball reached Higuain's feet. He was about to turn around and break through, but he called Pepeca down. The man is turned, and the football remains.

However, the Forest's ball was not easy to pass. Pepe's forward pass was stabbed from behind by Raul due to being too close.

Real Madrid continued to attack.

Raul shielded the ball under Pepe's close pressing.

There is a big difference between Raul today and Raul when he was young, he is no longer the simple striker who only needs to be responsible for scoring goals, and in today's Real Madrid team, more often his job is not to score goals, but to defend and play the ball.

It is not easy for Pepe to cut off Raul's ball, and now that he is in this position, he does not dare to foul easily, so he can only interfere in the back, as long as Raul does not have the idea of turning and breaking through, he can only do so.

Raul also noticed that Pepe was defending quite tightly in the back, and he was not completely sure that he could turn past and burst into the box, so he passed the ball out.

Football is once again at the feet of Guti.

Guti didn't even have to look up to know who the dark shadow in front of him was.

He was now in front of the penalty area, raising his foot to shoot, and Wood didn't hesitate to pounce on it. Guti shook his ankle and the shot turned into a direct pass!

He didn't pass it to Raul, who was right in front of him, but to the other side, which was almost his visual blind spot. He found the way to pass the ball and the ball passed through the crowd in front of the box and to Robinho.

There was a huge cheer from the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium. Every time the popular Brazilian cyclist gets the ball, there is a certain anticipation. Real Madrid fans love this kind of player who is good at performing fancy tricks the most, because it can please them.

Piquee was the first to fill in and go to Robinho to pull the ball at his feet and shake it off.

Seeing Robinho start his performance, the cheers in the stands were even louder.

Pique's reaction was quick, and he expected Robinho to shake off his next step was to cut inside, so he quickly turned and cut cross-cutting in Robinho's path.

But this time he was wrong. Robinho didn't make any moves after pulling the ball, but Piquee let himself pounce and lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

The Brazilian boy easily shook off Piqui who fell to the ground, and then without waiting for the other Forest players to press on, he cut in and shot with his feet!

Van der Sar turned all his attention to Robinho as soon as he received the ball, saw him shoot and made a quick save to keep the ball out of the line.

Although the attack did not score, Guti glanced at George next to him with some smugness. Wood. The attack was launched by him from here, and the direction and line of sight he had with the ball at that time completely turned George Brown. Wood tricked him – and when he looked at Raul and Higuain on the left, who would have thought he was actually going to pass the ball to the empty space on the right?

But when Guti glanced at Wood, what he saw made him even more depressed.

All he saw was George. Wood's back – Wood is busy returning to the box to defend corners.

※※※After falling behind, Real Madrid significantly stepped up their attack, and a corner kick was not finished. The football was pushed out by the defenders of the Forest team, and Real Madrid continued to attack with the ball in the middle of the field, and Real Madrid, who were not willing to fall behind at home, must quickly equalize, and the longer they find time, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

However, Forest's overall defence was tested in a number of big games, and until the end of the first half, Real Madrid didn't have much of a chance. In addition to Robinho's shot, Sneijder had a long-range shot that went past Van der Sar's 10-finger pass but flew past the post. Then, Raul's close-range shot was met by Pepe with his body.

Those three chances were concentrated in the first ten minutes of conceding the goal, but when they didn't get on the score, Forest's quick counter-attack forced Real Madrid to halt the frenzied attack for a while, fearing that a quick counter-attack from Forest would open up the scoreline.

Seeing this scene, Don showed a happy smile on the sidelines. So far, the game is in his plan. Real Madrid are not afraid of others playing against them, or they like other teams to play against them, because they can not care how many goals they concede behind them, just score one more in front. What they hate the most is for their opponents to shrink up, garrison near the penalty area, defend intensively, and then use resolute and quick sneak attacks to get everything done.

But Nottingham Forest is such a team in their bones.

So the first half was a hard time for Real Madrid's players. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the offensive and strive for an equalizer, and on the other hand, it is necessary to always be on the lookout for their sudden fast attack. With David Beckham as a master of long passing, the Forest's quick counter-attacks are a notch faster than before – soccer balls always fly faster than humans can run...... Most of the time Nottingham Forest's attack was like this – handing the football to David Beckham, then Van der Vaart and Ribery cutting forward, Ruud van Nistelrooy pulling wide and Eastwood dropping back. Beckham then sent a long ball to the feet of the Forest players, perhaps Franck Franck Franck Ribery, perhaps Van der Vaart, perhaps Ruud van Nistelrooy, perhaps Eastwood...... All in all, he has the accuracy of his long passes, and he can hit eight out of ten feet.

It's a headache for Real Madrid's defence, and unless someone can stick to Beckham without leaving him, they can't stop him from doing so. The cost of such a counterattack is too low, and it only takes Beckham to lift his feet.

Aside from the goal conceded, Schuster was silent throughout the first half and was looking for a way to break the tactic. He knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't break it, he could only count on luck...... It would be a shame for a manager to admit that he had to rely on luck to win.

At the end of the first half, Schuster's face was not very good. He could already hear boos coming from the stands. Some people are complaining about the score behind, some people are complaining about the ugly scene...... What should he complain about as a manager?

I need defenders, I don't need Ribery and Cristiano. Ronaldo!

※※※ Don in the locker room was very happy, he did not hide it in the slightest, he praised everyone. The attacking players played at their level in the process of scoring goals, and the defenders were the ones who still led the team.

'You did a great job and we had to play like that in the second half. Unless all luck goes to the other side, we won't lose. Donn said categorically, giving the players confidence. In fact, this is a bit redundant, and it is not the first time that Nottingham Forest has come to the Bernabeu to play, and when you see the stadium outside, you will take out your mobile phone and digital camera to take pictures.

Someone from the Forest team nodded. Don wasn't saying nice things to boost morale, but it was the way it was – as long as Forest were ahead, with their style of play, victory was a surefire thing.

'Guti is the heart of their attack. After saying these things that everyone knew, Don began to lay out a more detailed tactic. 'I think the only problem we had in the first half was ...... Not enough stimulation for Guti. The smile on Donn's face looked sinister.

'Don't expect George to be alone, we changed our strategy a little bit in the second half. Find ways to provoke Guti and make him lose his cool. "Judging by the first half, Guti's temper has been much more restrained this season than before, and anyone who faces it will be unhappy when he is dropped by Wood and refuses to be friendly. If it were Guti two seasons ago, he might have gotten up and choked the opponent's neck, or when the Forest team's offense was not even half-time, he made an unnecessary bad foul, received a yellow card or even a red card, vented his emotions, and then was sent off.

In this game, Guti was able to hold back his anger in the face of Wood's many intentional or unintentional provocations, which made Don have to look at him differently. Was it Schuster's request, or was his own surname mature?

In the home dressing room, Schuster was pulling Guti and telling him something very important: "Obviously, you are now the first person that all opponents want to take out. ”

Guti drank the water and did not say anything about it.

"You did a great job in the first half, but I'm still worried...... I'm thinking Tony. Will Donn ask more Forest vs players to besiege you? ”

Guti stopped drinking water and he looked at his head coach.

"I'm sure he can do that." After saying the previous sentence that surprised Guti, Schuster seemed to be more sure of the idea, and he added. "He'll stop at nothing to win. Now everyone knows that you are the heart of Real Madrid's attack......"

"So he wants to make people irritate me, make me play out of style, or just get sent off for his own rough work?" Guti asked.

Schuster nodded.

Guti recalls George. Wood's performance in the first half did mean something.

"I'm not going to let them get their way." He cursed.

"You have to stay calm, no matter how provocative they are." Schuster reminded.

Guti put down the water bottle and nodded, "I know how to do it, sir." ”

Schuster patted him on the shoulder and ended the conversation.

As long as Guti does not lose his composure, Real Madrid will be hoping to recover the score in the second half and even take advantage of the situation.

The key is still in Guti, whose form and performance are now a barometer of Real Madrid's results.

But will Don let Guti go easily?

Schuster thought that if Guti could really stay calm, it would be Nottingham Forest, not us, who would end up being unlucky. Let's wait and see whose world is in the second half.
