Chapter 65: With Everton (Part II)

On the backline, there is an old acquaintance that Donn remembers - Josephine? Yabo (joseph_yobo), the one who squeezed Li Weifeng away back then. This man is also a powerful defender in the Premier League, but his reputation has not been great.

Overall, Everton are a team that lacks stars compared to Forest, but they are strong overall. From this point of view, it shows that Moyes, as a coach, is able to pinch a group of seemingly mediocre and ordinary players into a "strong team" that can hope to participate in next season's Champions Cup, and there is no second reason except that the coach is of sufficient standard.

Don still admires Moyes sometimes, after all, he doesn't have his own advanced memory and consciousness, he completely relies on his true level, step by step to get to where he is now. But it's a pity, admiration is admiration, Tang Enke doesn't have the excellent character of sincerity and benevolence. If he had made Moyes famous, he would have nothing of his own.

This season was supposed to be one for Moyes to shine, but it's a shame that I came...... and Jabbo was ordered to defend Bendtner, which made it more difficult to defend in the rain. However, the Nistilians were still very tenacious with Bendtner, not allowing the Danish boy to get the ball comfortably.

Moyes saw that Donn was going to play a long ball, so he asked Jaabo who had the best header in the centre-back to defend Bendtner, who was also the best header in Forest's attacking line. Forest immediately shifted the focus of their long balls to Crouch, relying on Crouch's height to compensate for his weak headers.

The two sides see each other, you come and go for several rounds, and whoever takes it can't do anything.

The game was deadlocked, the score was fixed at 0:0, and it was motionless for half an hour.

Donn shook his head lightly and said to Chris Lack: "It's not okay to play a long pass, our opponent is also an England team...... Change formations! ”

Chris Rac understood what Donn meant, and he got up and walked to the sideline and made a change of formation gesture. The Forest team quickly turned into a 442 in a diamond position, George? Wood remained behind, playing as a single midfielder and defending in midfield. Arteta, on the other hand, has been further liberated to go up front, but that doesn't mean he has to stay up front, he can run back and forth in any corner of midfield, appear anywhere.

This tactic was repeated many times by the Forest team during the 12 days of closed training. This is also the first time that Forest have played 442 in the diamond position in the Super League, and Donn believes that he can completely catch Moyes by surprise! Everyone thought that the 442 parallel position was the only formation that the Forest team could use well, and this is actually a common problem for most English teams - they have played the 442 parallel position for 40 years, and they have never changed or wanted to change - because English football has always regarded itself as the "originator of modern football", always trying to maintain its ridiculous "traditions".

But it turns out that in England, those teams who dare to reform and dare to take a new step have good results, a typical example - Arthur? Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.

Moyes didn't expect Forest to make a sudden change of formation with five minutes left in stoppage time of the first half. Arteta premise, to become a striker, George? Wood singles out the back. Such a change has allowed Forest's attacking line to move closer to Everton's goal, with more threats and more chances.

Against a menacing Forest team, Everton didn't adjust their defensive deployment in time, and used the same set to defend Nottingham Forest's ground attack with the same way they dealt with long balls and rushes, maybe it wouldn't be a problem?

Mikel Arteta possessed the ball in Everton's half, and Everton's midfielder Lee ? Karlsley (lee_carsley) was defending him, but struggled a bit. The Spaniard's skills at his feet are fantastic, and it will be difficult for Karsley to organize him to rush forward, breaking the ball? Don't think about it for a while, unless it's a foul, but it's a foul in such a sensitive place...... In case this person scores a direct free kick, he still loses.

Simply delay their offensive and call more teammates to help.

Two Everton players rushed up, and it looked like the Forest were out of action this time. Arteta had to turn his back to the attack and continue to protect the ball.

Then under the defense of two people, Arteta finally lost possession, and Everton took this opportunity to play a quick counterattack, and the goal was fatal!

The people at Everton must have hoped that this was the way things went. But what?

'Mikel Arteta played the ball wide and Ribery followed up...... Nice break! The French kid is like a razor, cutting through Everton's defense! Cross!! its――gooooal!! Peter? Crouch! England's tallest player is telling Eriksen how unfair it was not to call him to the national team! ”

Of course these are the narrator Andy? Gray's own invented idea, Crouch had no intention of demonstrating to the national team manager, even though Eriksen was sitting in a private room above the main stand at the City Stadium at the moment.

After scoring the goal, Crouch simply ran to the camera position of the corner flag with open arms, and waved his teammates to follow, and then he lifted his jersey, and the white vest inside wrote the words:

Freddy, we are waiting for you!

The other Forest players all pointed to this sentence on Crouch's chest and signaled to the TV camera: Don't shoot people, shoot words!

At the same time, a banner was unfurled in the stands of the City Stadium:

Eastwood, we are with you!

His teammates rushed to the camera, crowding Crouch for the goal, and no one pounced on him to overwhelm him, but just gathered around to make room for the camera to clearly capture Crouch's chest.

In such a situation, George? Wood stood outside the circle, not knowing whether he should go in or escape. He raised his hand, finally scratched his head and put it down, then hid in a corner where the camera couldn't find it.

The revelers didn't pay attention to the anomaly, and the stands and greenery at the City Stadium cheered one after another, and Nottingham Forest finally got their sprint off to a good start with a three-game winless streak.

Even though it was still raining, all Forest fans felt that the rain had stopped.

Donne, who was on the sidelines, looked at Chris Rac in surprise, and his assistant looked at him with the same expression: "I didn't ask them to do it, and I didn't know they would do it......"

Tang En nodded, but he didn't know what to say in the face of such a scene, so he had to pat his thigh hard: "I know...... These boys! Well, that's good! ”

Chris Rac smiled.
