Chapter 557
In the locker room of the home team, Tang En gave Ribery a strong hug.
"Oh, Frank, if you are a beauty, I will kiss you." Tang En said "affectionately", and the hot crowd laughed.
When everyone finished laughing, he stretched out his hands, with four fingers on his left hand and five fingers on his right hand.
"45 seconds, I'm glad we hit Chelsea's arrogance in time. I like this kind of game, when the opponent has just kindled a glimmer of hope, we shot it unceremoniously!" He made a "choke " gesture. "Let them go from heaven to hell, and know what it means to be difficult in the world, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and the harshness of society!"
Everyone laughed again.
"Okay, let's talk about the second half." Tang En clapped his hands, and the players gradually became quiet. "The situation is in our favour, which is the biggest advantage. Mourinho's team wanted to use the full-court press to disrupt the rhythm of our game, to destroy our attack and defense. They almost succeeded, fortunately, Bailey equalized in the next 45 seconds. I can expect Chelsea to do the same in the second half, to continue their full-court press. Because there is no other way for him to go." He spread his hands. Made a helpless gesture.
"This pressing is very exhausting and this is our chance. Don't change anything, like in the second half of the first half, play with them in midfield, defend firmly, don't give them the opportunity to directly threaten our goal. "
The players nodded one after another, what the boss said made sense.
"After the intermission, they will recover some energy. So the first 10 minutes of the second half is the key. We must defend and don't let them score. As long as we maintain this score until 10 minutes later, the balance of victory will tilt towards us. If the score is still 1:1, Chelsea will become impatient, they will push forward aggressively, plus they are exhausted... At that time is our chance!" Tang En raised his right index finger, "One goal, just score another The ball, Chelsea will be completely collapsed!"
"Keep in mind that we must be the ones going to Athens!"
"That's right! It's us——!"
※ ※ ※
After 15 minutes, the second half of the game restarted, and the two teams switched sides to fight again.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines from the first minute, watching the game with his arms folded and his chest serious.
He told his players that the first 10 minutes of the second half is the golden time to score goals, and they must be seized, no matter what method is used.
He knew it, and of course Twain knew it too, so he made the team pay attention to the defense in the first 10 minutes of the second half during the halftime break.
In these 10 minutes, the Forest team completely gave up their offense, and everyone blocked the outside of the penalty area to prevent Chelsea's offense.
In these 10 minutes, Chelsea made three murderous attempts, each of which caused a burst of exclamation from the Forest fans.But it's just an exclamation--no danger.The shots of Drogba, Robben and Lampard were all blocked by the Forest team outside the goal line.
One van der Sar is not enough, there are Piqué, Kompany, Chimbonda, Leighton Barnes and George Wood.
They use every part of their body to block the opponent's offense except the arms, which are not allowed by the rules.Chelsea pressed very hard in the frontcourt?Then move forward with big feet, delaying time is the current tactical guiding ideology of the Forest team.
5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 10 minutes... This drags on until the whole Chelsea team becomes impatient and shows signs of not being able to run. That is the chance for the Forest team to counterattack.
Before that, what Nottingham Forest needs is patience, patiently waiting for the opportunity to appear, and ensuring that they do not reveal fatal flaws.
In this way, 10 minutes passed quickly.Chelsea did not score.It looks like they have lost their best chance to score.
No, Chelsea did not give up. Knowing that doing so would take a lot of energy, they still insisted on running and pressing the whole court, not letting go of any chance that could threaten the Forest team's goal.
Tang En looked at the time on the big screen, and it was 10 minutes.But he couldn't relax just yet. He walked to the sidelines, rolled his hands into a "barrel shape", and shouted inside: "Don't relax, keep guarding for me!"
Tang En went back after yelling, and Mourinho came up there. He shouted Shevchenko's name loudly, hoping that this world-class striker could enter the state early, break through the Forest team's defense, and serve the team. Open the impasse.
Helpless... The striker that Abramovich admires very much is not acclimatized at Chelsea. Facing the Forest team's defense comparable to Italy, he has no space and can only be a "setter" or try a few long-range shots.
Chelsea also tried crossing from the wing, passing the football into the penalty area with a high ball, hoping that the all-around shooter Shepchiko can win the header, but Forest's defense line is too high, and air control is their strong point However, even if Shevchenko can hit the ball, most of them are wide or high.
The most important thing is... The Forest team is an overall defense, starting from the striker to build the first line of defense, all the way to the goalkeeper, everyone must participate in the defense.They compressed the three lines into this narrow 30-meter area, because the formation remained very intact, like a thick wall, and it was not so easy to penetrate.
The Forest team first used this defensive tactic in the League Cup final of the 03-04 season. At that time, this overall defense made McLaren's Middlesbrough helpless.It also helped Tang En win the first championship trophy in his coaching career.
At that time, this game was criticized by the media as a boring and boring game without passion. It would not leave any trace in the 42-year history of the League Cup. It was meaningless except for bringing a championship trophy to Tony Twain. .
Later, as the strength of the forest team increased, Tang En rarely used this extremely low-profile tactic.Although it is rarely used, it does not mean that he cannot practice.Defense was always on the lips of Dunn. He would not change his style of action because of outsiders' opinions. He asked the team to practice various defensive tactics, even if they didn't use the "wall defense" very much.As he once said to Des Walker:
I train them and when I ask them to do it, they do it.
This was his goal, and it has now been achieved.
※ ※ ※
What's up for grabs in professional football?It's not the ball at the foot, but it's also something illusory like victory or honor.In the eyes of the coaches, there are only two simple words in football games that have been covered with countless big hats-time and space.
When attacking, you need time and space to handle the ball. When defending, you need to contain time and space to prevent the opponent from controlling the ball.
To put it bluntly, a football game is actually a competition for time and space on the pitch.
Nottingham Forest's wall defense is an extreme case of compression of time and space.
Twain can allow his opponents to back and forth in the third area of the midfield (near the middle circle), because there is still a long enough distance from the goal, unless everyone can get out of it like Beckham and Happy Alonso. Kicked the ball from the back and scored.The key area of defense is the defensive third area, which is commonly referred to as the 30-meter area.This is an area that any team should defend heavily.
Why is the "wall defense" very extreme, because most other teams just put a complete defense here, at most they do not allow two full backs to assist, and require a defensive midfielder in the midfield to help defend.
Tang En moved almost all three lines to the 30-meter area.
Except for the center forward standing near the center circle and preparing to counterattack, everyone else retreats to defend. When necessary, the two full backs can even be retracted into the penalty area to act as central defenders, while the full backs retreat to temporarily perform the duties of full backs.
Not to mention the two in the middle of the midfield, George Wood is known as "a man born for defense". His other partner, whether it is Albertini, or Arteta and Van der Vaart, must be played when the coach needs him. It's time for them to come back on defense.It's just that Van der Vaart's situation is special, and he doesn't need to go too deep when returning to defense, because at the same time he also has the task of allowing the team to switch to counterattack at any time.
With such a lineup, under the guidance of Tang En's tactical concept of "defense is the foundation of victory", the defensive tactics that have been practiced hard can be imagined.
This was the second time Twain let the team use wall defense, and it was used on Chelsea.It can be seen how determined he is to go to Athens.
Facing such a game, the commentator really wanted to yawn: "We originally thought that the Forest team would return to their home court and take the lead again. Maybe they would have the confidence to have a hearty confrontation with Chelsea... Unfortunately, Tony Twain really Worthy of being the 'most conservative head coach', no matter what he can't forget at any time, he is still defending, defending, defending... Even if he can reach the finals, this kind of performance will not win them any status in the hearts of the fans."
If Tang En could hear the live commentary, he would definitely scoff at what the commentator said.What he needs to be responsible for is not the majority of neutral fans, only these Nottingham Forest fans need him to be responsible.You ask them which one to choose between good-looking football and championship football, and nine out of ten will tell you-championship football.
Why?Because these people have been far away from the championship for too long, far away from the once glorious years, the past glory is always in their minds, reminding them how great Nottingham Forest was once, and the years when the red clothes fluttered across Europe It's so overwhelming, it's hard to extricate yourself.
※ ※ ※
There was a huge burst of shouts suddenly from a corner of the stands.
Through the unremitting frontcourt press, Chelsea once again grabbed the ball from the Forest team and turned to attack.They used the individual skills between several star players to play an amazing cooperation.
First, Makelele passed the football to Essien, and then Essien stabbed the football out when George Wood pressed close to him.
Chelsea is making a close press against the Forest team, so why isn't the Forest team doing the same thing against Chelsea?
In front of the ball was Shevchenko. At the same time, Leighton Barnes had already taken aim at this striker who was called a "parallel importer" by the English media.
Just when he was going to defend and attack the opponent from behind, Shevchenko had already noticed the movement behind him. He was very smart about Li Yongle Barnes, and turned around from the opposite direction to protect the football!
As soon as he turned around, Shevchenko saw Piqué lying in front of him. At such a short distance, it is not impossible to forcefully fall, but...he caught a glimpse of Drogba in the middle, and Kompany was watching with him.
There should be better options...
A little further away because there are too many people and the line of sight is blocked, he can't see it.But during normal training, he knows who that area belongs to, and there is no reason for that person not to be there at this time.
Shevchenko made up his mind and passed the ball with a shake of his foot.
The ball is very powerful. If Drogba catches it, he will not be able to stop because of the power of the pass, and instead give the opponent a chance to steal the ball.Drogba also knew this situation, obviously the ball was not passed to him...
He made a gesture to catch the ball, attracting Kompany and other defenders to come up, but when the football came, he split his legs and let the ball roll directly under his crotch.
This time the entire defense line of the Forest team was shaken!
Robben really appeared where he should appear.
"Robben! He got a pass from Shevchenko! Unmarked... This is a big chance for Chelsea!!"
The commentator roared hoarsely, wishing that Robin could punch through Van der Sar's gate.Once the score became 1:2, it was useless for Tang En to be conservative.At that time, the situation will force this conservative coach to give up his conservatism and come out to attack. Then there will be something interesting.
After receiving the football, Robben adjusted and Chimbonda had turned around and rushed towards him.
As a teammate of the Dutch national team, Van der Sar knew that Robben would be almost impossible to pass in this situation. He moved quickly and blocked the angle of Robben's shot.
Both Chimbonda and Kompany are moving towards Robben. As long as they cooperate well, this offensive crisis can be resolved safely.
Just when everyone thought that Robben would pass the ball, when the forest team's defensive focus quickly shifted to him, Robben passed the ball!
He swept the football down the middle...
"Drogba shoots!"
Although there were still people in front of him, Warcraft still kicked and shot without hesitation.He knows that once the football is stopped, there is really no chance.
The football didn't fly into the goal, but hit Leighton Barnes' arm...
When Barnes turned around to block the ball with his back, he raised his arm, and the football hit him right in his hand. As soon as the castration was reduced, he was kicked out by George Wood who dared to come back.
Just when the Forest fans were about to cheer that their team had escaped, the referee's harsh whistle sounded.
All the Chelsea players in the penalty area raised their arms high, signaling to the running referee for a handball foul!
"Leighton Barnes handball! This is so obvious! You don't even need to replay it in slow motion!" the commentator shouted excitedly.Although there was no goal, this situation is not much different from scoring, right?The deadlock is about to be broken, and the balance has tipped!
The referee pointed to the penalty spot without any hesitation—a penalty without a doubt!
The Nottingham Forest players were all dumbfounded. Leighton Barnes knelt on the ground and held his head in his hands. Of course he knew he had handballed, but he didn't mean it.The problem is that now the referee will not believe it at all, otherwise any player who commits a handball foul can say that he did not do it on purpose... It is useless to go to the referee to justify, he is kneeling on the ground full of remorse—why should I Raise your hands!
He didn't expect that the ball would fly directly into the goal without raising his hand.Although it was a penalty kick, there was still a chance to decide whether the ball went into the goal.
Other Forest players surrounded the referee and pleaded with him, showing that Barnes did not foul intentionally, but that he had no intention of handballing the ball.
Useless.
Facing the explanations of these people, the referee kept shaking his head.How could the penalty be changed, let alone seeing his handball with my own eyes.Now is not the time for self-doubt and criticism.
Seeing the referee award a penalty kick, Mourinho jumped up from his seat, and he couldn't wait to hug and celebrate with the people around him.The frontcourt pressing finally allowed him to grab a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
What a perfect way to end Nottingham Forest's madness this season with this penalty!
On the other side, Tang En stared wide-eyed at the field. He couldn't believe what he saw...
He worked so hard to defend...he looked up at the big screen again, and watched for 68 minutes. It was 2 minutes to 10 minutes, but he was awarded a penalty kick!
This is so tricky!
"What is this? What is this?" He murmured, with strong anger already in his tone. "What the hell is this!"
Tang gently patted Tang En on the shoulder: "Perhaps things are not as bad as you think."
Tang En turned his head and stared at him: "What did I think?"
Tang didn't answer his words, but just looked at Van der Sar who was standing in front of the door, shaking his arms and doing simple warm-up movements.
※ ※ ※
Seeing Tang En getting angry in front of the coach's bench, a smile appeared on Mourinho's face.If the opponent loses his composure, he wins half the battle. Psychological warfare is also very important in football games.
He could almost see the goddess of victory beckoning to him, and the goddess of victory was dressed in the attire of an Athenian priestess...
Mourinho had a strong smile on his face, thinking about how he would verbally avenge the first round after winning the game.
