Chapter 449 Volume Three
"It's George Wood's shot...saved!" the announcer screamed over the radio.

Looking at the red light at the intersection ahead, the taxi driver Randy James slapped the steering wheel hard, and the passengers in the back seat were startled by his sudden movement.

"Nicolas Anelka!" But then the announcer's excited roar came from the radio, "GOOOOAL——It's_GOOOOOOOOOAL!!"

The driver Randy slapped the horn this time.

Amidst the long honking of the car horn, the commentator's voice gushed out: "Nottingham Forest's counterattack! They scored! Nicolas Anelka, a former Arsenal player, gave his old club the most powerful One knife! He ran towards... the coach's bench! Look at Tony Twain's excitement!"

"Haha! Tony! Well done!" Randy yelled hoarsely, slapping the car horn, regardless of being a shivering passenger behind him.

Just when he was so excited that he kept beating his horn, a traffic policeman came over.

"I'm sorry, sir, ringing is forbidden here." The traffic policeman warned, while taking out a notebook from his breast pocket to record.

Randy froze for a moment, the car horn stopped, and the voice on the radio became clearer instead.

"...Who would have thought that George Wood would suddenly appear in this position? It's amazing, completely out of Arsenal's expectations!"

"Did we score?" the traffic policeman listened, then looked at Randy James and asked.

Randy laughed: "Yes, we scored!"

"Who entered?"

"Anelka."

"That bastard... well done!" The traffic policeman shook his head in praise.

In the crowded Highbury Stadium, boos were overwhelming, but Anelka couldn't hear anything. He didn't even do the "demonstrative celebration" of putting his index finger to his mouth.He opened his arms and ran towards the forest team's coach bench, where Tang En was kneeling on one knee, pounding the ground hard.

This season, he returned to England to explode, and he has to thank one person, sincerely.

Tang En had just stood up from his crazy celebration when he saw Anelka rushing towards him. Before he even had time to open his arms to welcome the hug, he was bumped into by the French striker, and then he was directly crushed under.

Before Twain could struggle, more players from the Forest team rushed forward, crushing the two of them.

"Haha, Nottingham Forest's celebration tradition!" The ESPN UK commentator laughed happily. "We haven't seen that in a few days, it's often when the players are really excited."

This time, even George Wood didn't become a "spectator" again. He took the initiative to jump up and stacked on top, so excited that he only opened his mouth and kept roaring.

"Nottingham Forest equalized the score. This is a valuable goal! They scored a valuable away goal. Maybe in the next 10 minutes, this goal will become the key goal to decide the outcome! No wonder the players of the Forest team So excited, think about the scene in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the forest team's success in qualifying depends on away goals!"

※ ※ ※

Wenger stood on the sidelines, pacing back and forth with a gloomy face.He couldn't laugh anymore.

Originally, the game had entered the rhythm he planned, but this goal changed everything, and all previous efforts were in vain.

What a jerk!He has studied all aspects of the Nottingham Forest team, even including the personality and habits of their head coach. He believes that this team has no secrets in front of him, and he has found a whole set of ways to restrain the Forest team. .Unexpectedly... Unexpectedly, in the end, Tang En's sudden change of tactics defeated him.In any case, Wenger never expected that Twain would push George Wood to the frontcourt, let him be the core of tactics, and let him participate in the offense.

He counted countless items, but he didn't count this one.

But how can you blame him?The more you study Wood, the more convinced you are that this kid can do nothing but defend.Let him attack?Isn't this helping the opponent?Even if his shot helped Anelka make up the shot this time, I'm afraid everyone still thinks it's just because Wood was lucky and didn't shoot the ball away.

An away goal... Although the situation is not so bad that Arsenal will be eliminated, there are still 15 minutes before the game. What if Nottingham Forest resorts to their best "defensive counterattack"?
Wenger believed that after scoring a goal, Twain would definitely command the team to defend until the end of the game.He understood this opponent, and the pursuit of results was more important than anything else. To Tony Twain, ugly scenes and even embarrassment were nothing.The current score is in line with Dunn's desired result.

"Arthur?" Patrice came out and stood beside Wenger, intending to ask him what he could do.

"Pat, it's our turn to be in trouble this time." Wenger bit his lip and frowned.

※ ※ ※

After much difficulty, Tang En was "rescued" under the intervention of the referee.The first thing he did was not to organize his suit, but to grab George Wood.

"Nice job, George!"

Wood grinned.

"How did you feel the moment you shot?"

"very good."

Tang En winked at him: "Finally you didn't say 'not bad'."

Wood put away his smile: "Shall we defend next?"

"Defense?" Dunn asked back.

"They conceded a goal at home and were tied. They will definitely think..." Wood pointed to the Arsenal players who had placed the football in the center circle and were about to kick off.

Unexpectedly, Tang En shook his head: "No, we don't defend."

Hearing Tang En say that, Wood was surprised.

"Let's continue to play like this. I can't explain too much to you now. In short, you remember... you still play like before, and if you have the opportunity, resolutely step in and suppress Cesc Fabregas!"

Wood rolled his eyes, then nodded: "I see."

"Go back quickly if you understand!" Tang En saw the fourth official walking towards him again, and quickly pushed Wood back to the court.

※ ※ ※

Wenger's latest instructions to the players between the re-kick-off is to give up defense, strengthen offense, and score goals as soon as possible. Nottingham Forest has scored an away goal and cannot allow them to score this point.

But shortly after the restart, Wenger had to reverse his decision again.

Before Arsenal could threaten Forest's goal, Forest's striker Anelka almost blasted away Lehmann's goal again with a long shot.

"Arsenal's players are not concentrated enough. Maybe they haven't recovered from the conceded goal. Anelka reminded them-hey, the game is not over yet!"

To the annoyance of Fabregas, he would have seized his chance in the final dozen minutes of the game to give his side the lead again, but soon found himself needing to stop George Wood first.

Twain waved his arms off the court and shouted, reminding the rest of the team to cooperate with Wood's pass and cut and run, so as not to let Wood fall into Arsenal's two-man pinch.

Speaking of the two scrambling, Fabregas once again successfully blocked Wood's decent dribbling, but he found that maybe the football is better at Wood's feet... As long as the football is at the feet of Arsenal players, Wood's whole body It's as if God possessed him--when he is excited, he looks like a different person in defense. If he can break it, he will break it, and if he can't break it, he will foul immediately, without hesitation.

His style has made Arsenal's players suffer a lot. Even if you can steal the ball from his feet, you will immediately face his personal interference.And in attack, Arsenal's players always want to stay as far away from this monster as possible...

When George Wood attracted the attention of most Arsenal players, the defensive pressure faced by other teammates also eased.Arteta has more time to pass the ball for his teammates.This made Wenger a headache, and he had to make adjustments again, so that the players should not press heavily, so as to prevent the forest team from taking advantage of the space behind them.In this way, Arsenal will inevitably not be able to attack with all their strength.

This is equivalent to solving the forest team's defensive pressure from another way.The effect of an Arsenal that cannot attack with all its strength will be greatly reduced.When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, in fact, the Forest team didn't have any real offense afterwards, but they managed to make Arsenal think that the Forest team would always use the space they pressed up to hit the back. Tang En used Wen Ge's understanding of the Forest team turned Wenger's army.

So, when the game was coming to an end, Wenger looked up and saw the 1:1 score on the big screen, and suddenly realized that he had been fooled by Twain.Tang En put on a posture of scoring a goal at the last moment, but it was just a bluff. His real purpose was not to attack, but to defend!
But at this time, even if Wenger already knew in his heart, it was too late to make any changes.There is not much time left in the game, and the referee has raised his hand to look at his watch for the third time. He may blow the whistle to end the game at any time.

Seeing Wenger pacing back and forth on the sidelines, Tang En said with a smile to Chris Lark beside him: "China's "Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: soldiers never tire of cheating. We won, David."

As soon as the words fell, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

"The game is over! Until the end, Arsenal failed to score again. They drew 1:1 with Nottingham Forest at home! For Twain's team, this is a satisfactory ending ...However, this score does not mean that the Forest team will definitely win the final ticket. Arsenal still has a great chance. After all, Nottingham Forest only has one away goal. I believe that with Arsenal's strong attack power, they can score a goal at the City Stadium The ball is not difficult, after all, they are not unfamiliar with that stadium, not to mention that just two months ago, Arsenal defeated Nottingham Forest 2:0 in that stadium... The 1:1 of this game was against Wenger's It's not the end of the world for the team."

This sounds reasonable, but saying it at this time can only make people feel that they are comforting the "loser".

I believe Wenger will not like to hear these words.

As soon as the game was over, Tang En turned around and walked towards the home team's coaching bench. When he was still five or six meters away from Wenger, he offered to extend his hand with a bright smile on his face.

"A good game, isn't it?"

Wenger also held out his hand, and the two held hands together.

"Wonderful... match. Congratulations, Mr. Tang En."

"There are still nine and 10 minutes left, and the outcome of the game is unknown."

"You're right, it's too early to cry or laugh."

"Let's see you at the city stadium."

After Dunn and Wenger bid farewell, they didn't go back to the aisle, but turned around and went to the stadium. The players of both sides didn't exchange jerseys in a friendly atmosphere after the game.The two teams, who are rivals in league and cup competitions, are not friendly.

Arsenal's players hurried off the pitch, while Nottingham Forest lingered like victors, raising their hands to thank the crowd - even though most of them had left or were leaving.

"Okay, guys. Go back and take a shower, change and let's go home!"

Tang En shouted, he was worried that the players would catch a cold from being too excited.

Eastwood, who was replaced at the end of the game, mainly to kill time, walked over with a smile, hugged Tang En, and then continued to walk towards the players' tunnel.He didn't even have sweat on him.

The players heard the call from the head coach, left the field one by one, walked down and hugged Tang En, and then went back to the locker room.

Albertini stood on the sidelines with Twain, and the players came down to hug Twain, and then clapped hands with him.

Anelka walked into the stadium with his head held high and left with his head held high.

When George Wood came down, Tang En didn't say anything, but used a little force when hugging him.And Albertini stopped him and said a few words.

After everyone walked back, Tang En turned around and walked back together with Albertini.

"What did you tell Wood just now?" Dunn asked casually.

"Well, it's nothing...just a compliment for his performance."

Tang En laughed: "By the way, Demi, I would also like to thank you. If you hadn't told me that George has an offensive talent, and hoped that I would train George to be an all-round midfielder who can attack and defend well, I might not have played in this game." There's no way to win yet."

"I'm just offering a suggestion and a possibility. Boss, you're the one who makes the decision."

"If you were in my position, you would make this decision too, right?"

Albertini smiled, but did not answer.

"You're right, Demi. George...does have an offensive talent, and it's been buried deep. Fortunately, it hasn't been buried forever." Tang En stretched out his hand and patted Albertini, "I'm very concerned about his future. Looking forward to it more and more. Let's go."

※ ※ ※

At the press conference after the game, Wenger admitted that George Wood's sudden premise was a change he did not expect. He expressed some regret that if it hadn't been for Wood's shot, the result of the game must have been different.

Tang En happily praised Wood's performance, thinking that he stood up when the team needed it most.Of course, in the face of the reporters' astonishment, he insisted that this was a long-premeditated adjustment, a routine that he had practiced repeatedly in his usual training, and it was definitely not a sudden thought of helplessness...

When he said this, Wenger turned his head to look at him. Tang En finished speaking without blushing and panting, and smiled back at Wenger.

Of course Wenger didn't believe Twain's nonsense at the press conference. Based on what he knew about Twain, it was absolutely impossible for him to train for a long time in advance, and then let Wood play the core of the offensive tactics in this game... If If this is the case, then it is not Arsenal's turn to be the first victim.

Seeing Tang En's brazen smile, Wenger was even more sure that the person in front of him was a bastard...
