He was the first to get to the locker room, George? Wood had showered, changed, and sat inside, looking up at the telecast.

Hearing someone come in, Wood glanced at it and saw that it was Donn, and instead of taking his gaze back, he continued to look at the manager.

"If you were there, it wouldn't be this scoreline." Don shrugged. "But I'm not blaming you, I think your choice was understandable in that situation. Just I hope you'll be smarter next time, George. You can wait until the eighty-ninth minute to shovel that bunny down for me. ”

Wood froze for a moment, then nodded. "I'm sorry, boss......" He finally bowed his head to Don and apologized.

Don grinned, walked in and patted Wood on the shoulder, "Okay, don't think about it. No one will blame you, I won't, and neither will they. He pointed to the door, and the noise outside was getting louder and closer, and the players were coming back.

He knew why Wood did what he did, so he said he understood Wood and didn't blame him. For such people who are not good at expressing their innermost feelings to others, they can only choose this method that they think is the most direct, although it may seem silly in the eyes of outsiders.

The first to enter the locker room was Ribery, who, instead of being surprised to see Wood and Donn standing together, gave Wood a thumbs up and shouted, "Well done, George!" ”

His voice caught the attention of those who came after him, and the rest of his team-mates returned to the dressing room one after another, expressing the same opinion as Ribery.

"That's right! I've been fucking looking at that bastard for a long time! "Layton? Barnes even cursed.

As Donn said, no one complained that Wood's foul was an impulsive, personal heroism that didn't care about the team's interests. Nor does anyone feel that it is Wood's responsibility to change their lead from two goals to one goal now. Everyone praised Wood's actions for giving them a bad breath.

Eastwood's popularity in the team is very good, although everyone has speculated whether Wood really has any irreconcilable contradictions with Eastwood, but looking at his performance today, it is really difficult for people to believe those "rumors" anymore.

Albertini and assistant coach David? Chris Rac was the last to enter the dressing room. He looked at the locker room, then turned to Don and asked, "Boss, how is Freddie?" ”

The question silenced everyone, and they are still impressed by Eastwood being taken straight to the hospital by ambulance. As professional footballers, they are familiar with the feeling of injury, and they all know in their hearts that this is definitely not a minor injury.

Tang En shook his head: "I don't know, there is no news from the hospital yet." Well, the goal now is to play the game in front of us. He slapped his face and motioned for everyone to turn their attention back. The opposition took advantage of our chaotic timing to pull a goal back and couldn't have given them that chance again in the second half. In the second half, we defended first, defending the opponent's attack first, and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack......"

※※※ The intermission passed quickly, and the fifteen minutes could be a long time for those who sat in front of the TV and watched the commercials for the second half. But for Tony, who made a makeshift in the locker room? Don said that giving him another fifteen minutes would be too little.

Eastwood's injury departure, and George? Wood's dismissal completely disrupted his pre-game plans, and he almost came to a reversal after 15 minutes of the break. How to contain Nani is key.

You can't continue to let Nani go, but who will let her? That's really a problem.

Gunelson couldn't keep up with Nani, and Albertini couldn't move in the middle. If Wood is there, then he can keep an eye on the active young man. Not now...... In the end, Donn decided not to use man-to-man defense, but zone defense, and focused on defending wherever Nani went, mainly to prevent his breakthroughs.

At the start of the second half, such a zone defence caused Nani some problems, and he always had to face two defenders, and although Forest had one less than Sporting Lisbon, they all returned to their own half, and it was not difficult to gain a numerical advantage in the local area.

Nani soon found it difficult for him to find a breakthrough on the flank.

Donn changed Forest's midfield positioning, which was previously a triangular position, with two defensive midfielders and one attacking midfielder. After conceding the goal, he found that such a combination was too poor defensively, and putting a position in attacking midfield was a waste of already tight human resources. So in the second half he simply withdrew Ribery to the right.

The three midfielders were in parallel positions, with Ribery to the left, Gunalsson to the right and Albertini in the middle. In this way, it not only solves the problem of too weak defensive forces in the middle, but also takes into account the left and right wings. Nani will be flanked by two Forest players (a full-back and a wing-back) on both the left and the right.

Watching Nani tired of coping with the scene, Don on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, although it allowed the opponent to get an away goal, it was better than losing the game.

Nani's appearance was something he didn't expect at all, is this kid Sporting Lisbon's secret weapon?

Just as Donn was relieved, the Forest conceded again...... Because the Forest team has focused most of their defensive energy on Nani and has neglected others.

This time, the one who seized the opportunity was Pedro, another midfielder from Sporting Lisbon? Barbosa (perdro_barbosa).

When Nani was drawing too much attention from Forest, he was in midfield and Sa Forest. Pinto took advantage of a simple one-two to dribble into his range, followed by a powerful long-range shot!

All Van der Sar can do with his hard work to save is rub the ball, and he can't completely change the trajectory of the flight, and the football goes into the net!

The Forest team was stunned for a moment when they saw the ball fly into the goal, as if they thought they were mistaken - in fact, the ball did not go in, but went over the crossbar and hit the top of the net...... But the truth is brutal, and the referee's whistle and gesture are unmistakable: it was a valid goal!

Under this silence, the cheers from the stands where the visiting fans were standing were particularly harsh.

Instead of jumping up from his seat and furious at the loss of the ball, he just suddenly waved his hand upwards and punched the awning of the coach's box.

It's just ...... to play like this at home It couldn't be fucking worse!

Chris Lak held his head in both hands, and the two-goal lead was tied at 2:2! He is not reconciled, and no one will!
