Chapter 38: Time is Running Out for Nottingham Forest (Part I)

In the 2002/2003 Champions League group stage, Puyol replaced the out-of-position goalkeeper and desperately returned to the defense, blocking a must-score goal for Lokomotiv Moscow with his chest. He only took five seasons to become captain at Barcelona, and he is like a fighter, always fighting for every inch of land.

Barcelona won the Champions League and La Liga at the start of the year, and Puyol's attendance dropped to half of what it used to be. Years of fighting, repeated injuries, non-stop surgeries and lack of rest, the iron-like Barcelona captain had no choice but to accept the fact that he was gradually unable to play. Barcelona are still at their peak, but Puyol's body is gradually falling to the bottom.

Why did Glero call Ryan Pujol soul possession? That's because in the matches between Barcelona and Zaragoza at the end of the previous rounds, his eyebrow bone was knocked open and bleeding because of a scramble, and he returned to the pitch immediately after a simple stitch on the sidelines, and then blocked two shots with his head and body respectively.

The media in Catalonia like to call Puyol the soul, what is the soul? He never wore any face protector to the game, his head was wrapped in gauze and he continued to fight even after a torn ligament, and he had to rely on his teammates to take off his shirt after the game...... There's a good saying, "Nothing can make Puyol quit the game unless he's stretchered off the pitch." ”

Ryan Williams did make Hydward see a little bit of Puyol's shadow, not about ability but about spirit. But 71's current ability value is really too low, if he can watch Siverense in the first place, there will be no accidents later. Edward gave him a passing grade on his debut, and at least the player got into his mind, and back on the training ground he had to make a detailed plan for Ryan, starting with correcting his rampant attributes.

……

When Richards rushed to the field, he was stunned and even thought about who I am. Where am I? Where am I going? Such a profound philosophical question. He's a guy who can easily be dominated by emotions, like the first time he drove a convertible sports car to pick up the manager. The hours of waiting in the rain that day became the most valuable experience of Richards' life, he majored in finance and management in college, but he spent more than a month with Hydward learning more than he did in four years of college.

Ryan Williams cried out in pain twice and covered his back, Richards had the condensate in his hand and couldn't even turn on the sprinkler.

In the end, thanks to the team doctor at Nottingham Forest, the initial examination began. After testing a few parts with his hands, he was pulled to the sidelines on a stretcher for further examination.

The game restarted after wasting more than three minutes, and the clock came to eighty minutes.

The British are gentlemanly and attack while the other party is being injured, which does not fit their definition of morality. If it's a draw now, I can still talk to you about it, but now that the score is behind, I can't care so much, and I hit the penalty area violently.

On the Portsmouth side, Jonathan retreated to the central defender position, another midfielder Norris retreated to play at the back, and striker Luke retreated to play in midfield to ensure the integrity of the two lines when defending.

Nottingham Forest's Liszt was the commander of the game, with Norris unceremoniously taking over Jonathan's defensive duties and then slamming his shoulders hard into Liszt.

This kind of rough-and-some brutal defensive style has slowly become extinct in recent years, but the occasional result is definitely a yellow card. Rather than the scary soccer of the last century, which was full of muscles and broken legs, England today has added a bit of technology to the point of encouraging physical confrontation, thanks to the work of Arsene Wenger and Ferguson for an entire generation.

Liszt didn't eat this at all, didn't stop after receiving the ball, stepped on the ball and completed the turn, which was completely opposite to the direction Norris pounced on.

Liszt, who had passed the ball all the time, chose to break through this time, and like a monkey, Norris could only watch as people passed him. He opted for the roughest but most ineffective way of defending, and now English football is getting faster and better, and there is nothing to be done about fouls.

"Marseille slalom, pretty over!" Glero exclaimed.

The boos at Faton Park were deafening, but that didn't affect the players with the ball at all.

Jonathan rushed to intercept as soon as he broke through, while Margery looked around for a circle, and the more the game was played, the clearer the concept of help became. The red players played for more than 80 minutes and came up quickly, with at least three or four players making gestures to cut into the box.

Jonathan was stronger defensively than Norris, and naturally he was not a little bit stronger, and he was entangled in the middle of the half. Liszt couldn't make a feint and wanted to pass the ball, but in a panic, it still came out, and the ball was kicked high into the sky.

Margery took two steps forward to stop the ball in the air, and there was no one in the circle, but the few red players he had noticed earlier gave up on diagonal cuts into the box and instead wrapped him up.

Margery's three players in front of the left, front right and behind formed an equal-distance encirclement, and when he stopped the ball, it was a tackle.

One against three, he is confident that he does not have this strength, and since he has observed it, he naturally can't be tied. Margery didn't stop waiting for the ball, probably judged the landing point, and directly used the top action to top the ball to the nearby right-back Alain.

Allan is a characterless player, not the characterless kind who knows everything but is not good at anything, but the kind of pitch-shifting defender who is afraid to take responsibility. The ball doesn't stay under his feet for more than three seconds, and Alain will pass the ball away with great speed. After a game, there was no credit but no mistakes. The post-game rating system gives a rating of 6.5 or more, which is also a decent evaluation.

Alain continues to play his soy sauce, which is his style of play and habit, and it is extremely difficult to change. This time was no exception, and he noticed that Norris, who was not far away, was unmarked and passed directly at 75°.

Norris was completely unprepared to catch the ball and stopped in a panic. Lawrence in front of him is running laterally, leading Morgan to follow the defense, and right winger Etuhu is also obviously ready to start, as long as Norris sees this gap and passes it out, Etuhu is ready to let the fans see what Nigerian Robben is!

It's a pity that the panicked Norris only had his football in his eyes, and he directly covered his head and took it up, and Hydeward on the sidelines almost smashed the mobile phone in his pocket when he saw the team's series of actions.

Margery's defense was beautiful, broadly speaking, one defense and three were fine, but from Allan onwards, the passing like a dynamite pack, Norris's clumsy dribbling, almost forgot all about the usual training.

Pierce also looked extremely annoyed, "What a chance! I'm sure I'll pass it on to him. ”

Hydward glanced coldly and did not speak. Taking advantage of Norris to bring out the sideline, the substitution adjustment was launched, and today, the somewhat silent Ricciardo replaced Norris, and Marco replaced another stealth emperor Schneider in the stadium, directly using up the three substitutions.

As the clock ticked by, Ryan Williams returned to the squad after a period of treatment, and Nottingham Forest was really running out of time including injury time.
