Volume 6 Crimson Chapter 111 Battle Red

After a crazy stoppage time, both sides focused on the two stoppage-time goals in the post-match press conference.

Don was happy to have equalised at the end of the game, and he didn't mention anything about the pre-match he had hoped to win.

"With such a performance, what else do I have to be dissatisfied with? I'm very pleased with this result that speaks volumes about Nottingham Forest's style. ”

The draw and late goal in this game were important for Forest, further boosting the team's morale and confidence. It laid the groundwork for the upcoming Liverpool and Christmas devil fixtures.

Ferguson, on the other hand, was a little annoyed, but he accepted the result: "What if I can't accept it? That's football. I really didn't expect them to equalise at the last minute......"

When Ibisevic shot the ball into Foster's goal, it would have been an exaggeration to say that Ferguson's face was dead, but it wasn't bad to say that it was "ugly".

This expression continued until he shook hands with Don En, he was not in the mood to greet Don En, shook hands with Don like a dragonfly and left.

They overtook the score in the last minute and were equalized in the last minute. This kind of ups and downs really makes people worry about whether his heart can withstand it. The only good thing is that this game is a league game, not a knockout round of the Champions Cup or FA Cup.

※※※

Ibisevic, who scored a late equaliser for Nottingham Forest, was on the pitch for a short time, but he was named Man of the Match and received a bottle of champagne as a prize. He was happy that he was able to score the last goal, but he did not take the credit alone, but humbly said that it was the credit of the whole team. Without captain Wood's long ball, he wouldn't have had a chance to score.

He also mentioned another contributor to the equaliser: "When I wasn't used to the Premier League, the boss spoke to me alone. He told me that Nottingham Forest's football is a football that never admits defeat and that you can't give up under any circumstances. I'm glad I did that. ”

The Manchester United players interviewed were a little uncomfortable. "I really didn't expect them to be able to press up front at that time...... We were a little flustered...... "Leo." Rio Ferdinand explained the goal for his centre-back partner.

Vidic, who had conceded the goal, walked briskly into the dressing room with his head down and did not give any interviews to reporters. I believe that Ferguson will not let him go after returning to the locker room, and he will definitely not be able to escape a scolding.

Donn was smiling throughout the press conference, and he made no secret of his love for the result. And Ferguson had a gloomy face, telling everyone that he was very unhappy and unhappy right now.

After the press conference, Donn returned to the dressing room to find his players still talking about the two stoppage-time goals in the game. Apparently they are also excited about it.

Donn slapped his hands and motioned for the players to be quiet, he had something to say.

"A last-minute equaliser was exciting, wasn't it?"

A crowd laughed. It's really exciting.

'I'm proud of the performance you guys have done in the last three minutes, which is what I want to see at Nottingham Forest. But......" he said, his face cold, "I still want you to know that if we can score early and take the situation into our own hands sooner, all of us won't have to experience the thrill." ”

Don touched his heart: "I have a problem here, I don't want to go through these ups and downs a few more times." This game is a lesson for you – never trust your fate to something you can't see or touch. We were able to equalise but we also had to see that it was because Nemanja Vidic made a very low mistake in the final moments. You can't always expect your opponents to make such mistakes. Your own destiny must be held in your own hands to be steadfast. He clenched his fists as if he were really clutching his fate.

After saying this, the smile reappeared on his face: "But the ball at the end is really great!" Well done guys! Now celebrate with a good time! ”

Slap it first and then give it a candy. It doesn't make the players get too carried away, nor does it make them feel that the manager is too strict and unkind.

Now that the morale of the team is high, Donn is not worried about the next game at home to Liverpool.

After the match, when Ferguson invited Donn to drink with him, his mood seemed to return to normal, at least there was no trace of anger on the surface. It seems a little helpless.

The media all praised it after the game that it was Ibisevic who gave Forest an important point. But Ferguson disagreed.

"They said Wood's kick was just a clearance from a forward kick, and I don't see it that way. He thought he was a premeditated long pass. ”

Don smiled, didn't say yes or no. Anyway, Wood always has that kind of genius, and with his strength, he will never be able to kick the ball.

"Are you really not thinking about coming to Manchester United anymore?" After this game, Ferguson believes that Donne is the most suitable manager for Manchester United.

"No, Sir." Donn shook his head as he played with the liquor in his glass.

Ever since he had a heart attack, he's basically quit the cup. However, after the game, it is polite to have a drink with the opponents, but one drink is not in the way. So Shania and the doctors didn't stop him, and he himself knew that his body would just have a drink.

When I first quit drinking, I was very uncomfortable, but now I don't feel anything if I don't drink it.

"It's a shame......" Ferguson muttered.

Once again, Don rejected Ferguson's invitation, knowing that with Donne's last name, he would not accept the invitation again. So when he retires, will the Premier League team continue to shine? Although I know that there are peaks and valleys, this is a natural law, but it is somewhat unacceptable emotionally when it happens to my own team......

He hoped someone could continue his success at Manchester United, but the most talented man turned him down twice.

Tang En saw the old man's thoughts, and he persuaded, "I think you are in good health, why don't you continue to work?" ”

"You don't seem to want me to retire, and I think that's a strange thing. Aren't we rivals, Tony? Ferguson looked at Done.

Don smiled: "If you leave, I won't necessarily win more championships, because even if you're here, I can win a lot of championships." Ha ha! But without you, I always feel like something is missing. ”

Ferguson drank the wine from the glass: "Don't worry, there's that guy Wenger." You won't be lonely. ”

"Professor, I'm not going to have a war of words with him." Don shrugged, "It's still fun to argue with someone like you." ”

Ferguson suddenly understood what Donn's "missing something" meant.

Mourinho's departure has left him with one less person to spit on, and by the time he retires, few of the people left behind will be able to match Donn's foot. No wonder he felt lonely.

"If you don't feel comfortable with no one scolding you, even if I'm retired, I can drench you in the newspaper every week, Tony."

Don laughed when he heard this. What a funny old man!

He also tilted his neck and drank the wine in the cup: "If your successor is mediocre, don't you mind if I help you teach him a lesson?" ”

"As long as you can."

Returning to Nottingham, the Forest team soon welcomed Liverpool.

As a result of the draw away from Manchester United, Nottingham Forest were overtaken by Liverpool on points and returned to fourth place in the league.

Liverpool only moved back to third after winning 3-2 at home to Everton. However, they also paid a pretty heavy price for this Liverpool City derby victory.

Centre-back Argy elbowed Everton striker James during the game. Vaughan (james_vaughan) was sent off with a red card on the spot and was subsequently suspended for three additional matches.

Dutchman Ryan. Babbel went off injured during the game and will miss three weeks of play.

Pennant is also injured, and although it is not too serious, it will certainly not be played against Forest.

Harpy, who was injured before he was added. Alonso and Kuyt. Not many people can use Benitez for it.

In light of this, Benitez has kept a low profile on the road, putting on a defensive posture and intending to get a point and win. The team has lost too many players offensively, but has largely retained its original strength defensively. Agger received a red card, but he was suspended for the next game, so he can still play against Nottingham Forest.

So in the midfield, Benitez also put out a very thick defensive formation. Lucas and Mascherano are configured in the back, with Gerrard in the middle and forward, forming a triangle.

Steven Gerrard attacked, while Mascherano and Lucas defended.

It can be seen that Benitez is very afraid of the attack of the Forest team.

The result really brought Down to tears - after all these years, an opponent would finally make defensive adjustments out of fear of the Forest's attack......

Despite Benitez's change, his side still haven't been able to bargain at the City Stadium.

Benitez's thick formation lasted only twenty-seven minutes before it fell apart.

After a mistake by Lucas and Mascherano was seized by Kic, he used his body to protect the ball in the midst of the two people, until Cohen ran up to catch it, and he made a gesture to pass the ball to Cohen, but took advantage of the moment when the encirclement was loosened, and passed the football to Shahin in the opposite direction.

Shaheen received the ball and then passed it to Lennon from the left, and instead of passing the ball directly to Lennon's feet, he imaginative passed the ball in front of him, just in time to give full play to Lennon's speed advantage.

Lennon picked up his pace and grabbed Liverpool right-back Alvaro. Arbeloa poked the ball away in front and broke through the Liverpool defense directly!

Next, he didn't go down, but went directly diagonally into the penalty area, and in the face of Agger's defense, he stabbed a very hidden shot, and the football pierced Reina's ten fingers!

Nottingham Forest leads 1-0!

In this game, Donn did not send Eastwood and Van Nistelrooy, who were weaker against the opponents, but used two strong and tall forwards in Ibisevic and Kic. It's about fighting Liverpool's tough midfield defenders.

He did it.

The goal put Liverpool in a difficult position. They definitely can't continue to defend to the death, so they can only come out and attack. This must be to Donn's liking.

Both the narrator and Benitez thought Tony. Don will let his team play defensive counter-attacks. But they all forgot about Tony. Donn is a manager who likes to play against others.

This time, Nottingham Forest played on a desperate Liverpool side on their home turf.

The competition was quite exciting and intense. There were plenty of chances for both sides, with both teams' goalkeepers being the busiest and most brilliant players for a while.

Just before half-time, Ibisevic grabbed a save from Reyna and fired a bouncing ball into the net for his 11th league goal of the season and 14th overall goal for the season. Nottingham Forest led 2-0 heading into the break.

The team's extraordinary optimism at half-time forced Donn to play the role of villain again with a black face, reminding them not to take it lightly.

"Who do you think your opponent is? It's not a cat or a dog, it's Liverpool! They have a captain who doesn't admit defeat just like we do, Gerrard! If anyone lets their guard down and is too optimistic, even if we are three goals ahead, we may be overturned in the second half! ”

He was right, and in the first ten minutes of the second half, Liverpool relied on a free-kick combined with a powerful long-range shot from their captain Steven Gerrard.

This goal was a huge morale boost for Liverpool, because it was a beautiful goal. The force is strong and the angle is tricky. Akinfeev was stunned and helpless.

If Liverpool are allowed to play like this, it will be a matter of time before the score is equalised. Donn had to make a change, replacing Shaheen with Thiago to strengthen the middle.

Thiago went up and ran aggressively to put Forest's midfield up against Liverpool's midfield. also regained the disadvantage little by little, and wore down the fighting spirit of the Liverpool players. After another ten minutes passed and Liverpool failed to score, their attacking momentum finally waned.

How could Nottingham Forest let such an opportunity go?

Counterattack back in one go.

Cohen and Barnes played a one-two on the left and then crossed straight with their feet, and Kicic once again used his aerial dominance to beat Agger and Martin. Skrtel (martin_skrtel), header into the net. The score was extended to 3:1.

Just two minutes later, Ibisevic came back and fired a tricky long-range shot from outside the box that cut through Reina's 10 fingers. 4:1!

The game has basically lost its suspense.

However, Gerrard is still looking for a goal. Knowing that in the 86th minute, he finally scored the second goal for the team. However, the score of 2:4 could not change anything when it was only four minutes before the end of the game.

Nottingham Forest are not Manchester United and they will not let Liverpool be themselves in the last round of the league.

In the final moments, Nottingham Forest recovered as a team and withstood Liverpool's onslaught. The score of 4:2 was kept until the end. Managed to get three points!

Now, Donn and his lads can have a nice Christmas.
