Chapter 35: We Will Win (Part II)
'Ribery's pass...... Pretty! ”
Eastwood started at the same time and appeared behind Taylor, who by the time the panicked Taylor turned around, he was completely unable to catch up with Nottingham Forest's number 11.
Another centre-back's first reaction was to raise his hand to signal to the referee that Eastwood was offside, but he didn't hear the referee's whistle and saw Viduka turn and run past him, targeting the penalty area!
"Anti-offside! Barbayaro (celestine_babayaro) dragged to the back! ”
"What a fucking damn one!" Souness jumped up and saw that Forest striker Eastwood had received the ball and Givens rushed to the action...... Loud cheers erupted from the visitors' stands, and more than a thousand Forest fans rose from their seats chanting Forest's name.
"Forest Forest!!"
Eastwood shook off Given, at a very small angle...... Shot-"
There was no suspense anymore, and after seeing Eastwood pass Givan, Donn stood on the sidelines with his arms raised in celebration, and he shouted almost at the same time as the commentator: "Goooooal!!" ”
“goooooal!! Beautiful goal! Freddy. Eastwood!! Amazing Gypsies! He made the Newcastle fans happy for only ten minutes! 1:1, the two sides are back to square one! ”
“gooooal――!!!” Tom. The Nottingham Forest fans around Sawyer roared at him, their mouths wide open, as if they were going to eat him at any moment. At the roar of these people, Cousin Tom could only shrink his neck and lower his head to let the people spit in his ear. Now he regrets very much why he accepted the ticket given by Donn yesterday...... the morale of the Forest team who equalized the score was so high that they pressed Newcastle in the half at St James' Park, and this time it was the turn of the Forest fans to sing non-stop.
The first half ended with the high-pitched singing of Forest fans and the two sides were temporarily tied. The Forest players came off the pitch looking excited and trotted off the pitch. Newcastle's players, on the other hand, were a bit sullen. Their captain Shearer frowned even more, and hurried into the players' corridor, and it seemed that he was even more dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half than Souness as a manager.
Halftime was a relief for Sania's cousin Tom, who made an excuse and hurriedly said goodbye to his cousin Shania and ran off the court. He would rather be at his own expense and cheer on the team with Newcastle fans in a pub than in front of a crowd of Forest fans. As for Cousin Judy, since she doesn't want to go, let her be!
Looking at Cousin Tom who fled in a hurry, Shania laughed happily.
Just as her cousin disappeared at the top of the stairs, a fat man next to Shania smiled at her, "It looks like he's scared." ”
Shania shrugged, then smiled at the fat man and said, "Thank you, Uncle John." ”
"No thanks, little girl. I knew it when I saw the look on your face when you were here with that kid. I mean, your ticket was given by Tony, right? "This fat man is none other than John, who came with the team to cheer them on, and the people around him are the same people in the forest bar. When Don took Shania to the forest bar for dinner, these people had all seen her, and they could be regarded as acquaintances, and acquaintances naturally needed help when they were in trouble.
Shania nodded.
"That scoundrel!" John laughed, "Don't worry, watch the game here, see how we slaughter the Yankees!" You don't mind if I say that, do you? ”
"I'm Brazilian." Shania laughed. "I'm an Uncle Tony fan!"
"That enviable fellow!" John frowned and scolded.
"Hey, John! Be careful that I go back and tell my wife everything I saw today! Someone next to him immediately said loudly, which immediately attracted the laughter of the surrounding crowd.
Shania sat in the middle of the group, but she didn't have the slightest worry like her cousin. She didn't feel more comfortable in the crowd, so when the men let out their voices and laughed, she laughed along.
While Shania was having fun with John in the stands, Don was in the locker room praising the team's performance.
'Guys, good work in the first half, especially in the final stages. Playing like this in the second half, Newcastle's defence was still their biggest problem, and if we took one more chance, we could finish them! He clenched his fists and pounded it.
Eastwood stood up: "Boss, you don't have to worry about that. We're going to win this game for sure. We don't want you to lose face in front of that pretty girl! Everyone said yes! He turned to his teammates in the room and shouted.
Everyone immediately agreed.
"That's right, sir! But such a beautiful girl, how did you meet? ”
"Boss, what's her name? Where? ”
"Ashley, do you even want to beat the boss's idea? Don't you want a place in the main team, a chance to play? Eastwood jumped out and rebuked Ashley with "righteousness and sternness". Poplar.
"Oh-oh-"
Someone simply whistled.
In the face of this group of excited men, Don En shook his head with a wry smile, it seems that he will have to hide from them if he wants to meet Shanya again in the future, otherwise he will not be able to make fun of him with this in the future?
"Ashley, if you want to know, you can ask for yourself. Don't worry, I won't stop you. Don pointed at Ashley. Yang Dao, this turned Ashley. Yang was embarrassed.
At Newcastle's half-time, Souness must have been busy criticising the team's defence and setting up a second-half strategy. The Forest, on the other hand, felt like a party. If Souness knew that their opponent was doing this, I don't know what he would think.
※※※ Shortly after the start of the second half of the game, Alain. Shearer was replaced by Souness, and seeing him limp as he walked, Don realized that the media was not reporting fake news. Shearer really came on with an injury, and playing half-time exacerbated his injury and had to be taken off early.
Without Shearer, Newcastle's attacking power has dropped a notch, Kluivert is no longer the talented teenager who beat AC Milan in the Champions Cup, nor is he a world-class striker who sits in the main position in Barcelona, and now he has put more energy into the colorful nightlife, and the aura of the past is gradually fading.
Nottingham Forest took advantage of Shearer's departure and Newcastle's chaotic attack to seize the opportunity to add another goal, with Viduka's assist and Albertini knocking on the door of Given's guard with a falling ball.
Forest, who led 2-1, played more and more easily, but Newcastle were more nervous amid Souness's roar.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the 50,000-capacity St James' Park stadium was filled with only the singing of Nottingham Forest fans. Willingly or not, "Senpai" Souness is in Tony. Don has nothing to say about losing in front of this junior.
“…… Tony. Donn's team played well and they won justifiably. I don't have much to say......"
There was no longer a trace of pride on Souness's face at the press conference.
