Chapter 371 Volume [-] Red Forest Ups and Downs
Regardless of the outcome of Nottingham Forest's appeal, the red card still affected Anelka's mood.
On the day after the game, Anelka was sullen like a ghost in the dressing room, and it was cold to be near him.
In fact, Anelka is also quite "cold" at ordinary times, but because of this kind of thing, he is still so cold, something is wrong.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang En decided not to talk to the Frenchman for the time being. He must not be in a good mood at this time.
Let's talk about some things later.
After the English League Committee and the referee committee received the Forest team's complaint, the reply to the Forest team was-it needs to be studied before making a decision, but it did not say when it will be researched.
After hearing this, Dunn yelled in the office: "Damn bureaucracy! Even if the results of those bastards' research are that Anelka is not guilty, he will miss the game against Arsenal!"
Anger is anger, Tang En has nothing to do.It's impossible for him to go to the office of the league committee to make a fuss, right?
I can only seize the last time in training to practice the new style of play.
Freddie Eastwood's recovery was not optimistic. Dunn would rather let him continue to recuperate than force him to return to the team.
Now Anelka can't play either, and the forest team's available forwards are only Mark Viduka and Niklas • Bendtner.
Dunn didn't plan to send two center forwards on the field at the same time. He decided to play a defensive counterattack in Arsenal's away game, and he was very satisfied with taking a point from Highbury.
※ ※ ※
This is a high-profile game, Nottingham Forest away to Arsenal.
But such a heavyweight game did not meet people's expectations before the game, because the game has nothing to do with "exciting".
Anelka was not included in the Forest team's roster. Twain formed a 541 formation in this game. Mark Viduka advanced alone, and the three center backs included Matthew Epson and Pepe. , Piqué delayed to protect.
Seeing such a lineup, smarter people would have guessed that Twain was going to defend in the away game.

That's right, it's not just defense, it's defense.
The Forest team put three central defenders in the middle, blocking the front of their penalty area tightly.The Forest team's offense is to move forward with big feet and only invest two or three players.If it can pose a threat, that's okay, it can't pose a threat, and it won't be counterattacked by Arsenal because the team is pressing hard.
Henry's speed made Tang En very afraid.
Wenger's team did everything possible to find weaknesses in Forest's defense, while Forest did everything possible to destroy Arsenal's attack.
Tang En's heart was suffering every second, and every attack by Arsenal would make him restless.Once the ball is lost, it means that all the efforts will be wiped out.
George Wood was in charge of man-marking Cesc Fabregas. The two sides entangled in the midfield, and each other won.Looking at such a scene, Martin Taylor sighed: "This is the age of young people..." He looked at Tony Twain who was pacing back and forth on the sidelines.
Cesc Fabregas, 19-year-old George Wood, 37-year-old Tony Twain.They are gradually becoming the main force in this league.No matter what achievements Tony Twain can achieve in the future, he has already led the team to the UEFA Champions League at the age of 37. He has already attracted the attention of UEFA, and his Nottingham Forest has also frequently appeared in the European media.
Generally speaking, a 40-year-old head coach is called a "young coach", such as Mourinho, Deschamps, Ancelotti, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Gullit... …Wait, but what about Tony Twain, who took over the Forest team at the age of 34, brought the Forest team to the Premier League at the age of 35, and led the Forest team to the UEFA Champions League at the age of 36?
England has not had such an excellent head coach for many years. Almost all successful coaches active in English football are non-English. For example, Manchester United coach Ferguson is Scottish, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is French, Liverpool The head coach Benitez is a Spaniard, and the Chelsea head coach Mourinho is a Portuguese... None of the four big players is in charge of an English coach, which embarrasses the always arrogant Englishman.
The birth of Twain satisfies the "passion of patriotism" of the English people, and the hype of the media pushes Twain to the public.On the surface, it seems that Tang En is very disgusted with the media's hype about him, but in fact, who knows whether he has used the media...
※ ※ ※
Tang En watched the game nervously from the sidelines, not knowing what Martin Taylor thought of him in his heart.Even if he knew, maybe he didn't care.
At the end of the first half, the Forest team was in a mess, but the score made Tang En feel a little relieved-his team is still 0:0 against Arsenal so far.
During the intermission, Twain did not make any tactical adjustments, but only instilled confidence in the team, telling them not to give up no matter how unfavorable the situation was, and that a tie in this game was a victory.
In the second half, the Forest team implemented the defensive tactics more thoroughly. As the game time passed, the Arsenal players gradually became impatient.
No. 709 minutes, Arsenal once scored a goal, but when they were celebrating, the linesman ruthlessly raised the flag in his hand-offside!
This is indeed an offside ball, although it is not obvious, Henry started a little earlier, and was clearly noticed by the linesman.
Wenger looked a little angry on the sidelines, maybe he thought he was framed by the referee.Tang En applauded the referee from the sidelines. The referee in charge of law enforcement for this match was Ball, who was the fourth official for Forest's match against Everton at home in the last round of the league.
"With 4 minutes left in the game, stoppage time will be entered. This game is another typical 'Arsenal phenomenon'." Martin Taylor shook his head.He has given up any hope of scoring goals.
The so-called "Arsenal phenomenon" refers to prolonged possession and multiple shots without scoring.Arsenal's style of ball control makes them often dominate the scene, playing beautifully, which is pleasing to the eye.It's a pity that this habit of controlling football at their feet has also made them miss many chances to score goals.They often miss some opportunities that are obviously good for hitting the goal because they are greedy for beautiful cooperation.
Twain seized on this habit of Arsenal and deployed heavy troops in the backcourt, making Arsenal, who like to control the ball, feel like they were facing a stone with nowhere to talk. They kept controlling the ball outside, but they couldn't find a few A chance to score a goal.
In this game, he completely gave up the offense. So far, the Forest team has only had six shots. In exchange, he successfully brought the score of 0:0 into stoppage time.
Tang En had to be thankful that he was not coaching at Real Madrid in Spain, otherwise, no matter how good the team's performance was, there would be only one fate in the end - to dismiss get out of class.
In fact, this was not Twain's wish. If Anelka could participate, he wouldn't mind a duel between Highbury and Arsenal.
"The game is over, a boring game... Nottingham Forest drew with Arsenal in the away game! Coach Tony Twain scored a point that satisfied him, but the fans who came to watch the game probably wouldn't feel that way about this kind of game. satisfying."
"I'm very dissatisfied!" Andy Gray next to him covered his mouth and yawned. "I don't understand, the forest team's style is not conservative, why sometimes the game is so ugly..."
"Because Twain's style is to pursue results." Martin Taylor replied, "If being conservative can bring him the desired results, he will definitely not mind playing the most conservative football."
Andy Gray rolled his eyes and turned off the microphone. "That's the only thing I hate about him...sometimes, he's too utilitarian."
Martin Taylor also took off his headphones and finished his work. "That's the way football is in the world. That's why teams like Arsenal and Barcelona are extra popular because they don't make money."
"If Twain's team can play as beautifully as Arsenal, it will be perfect..."
"You are too demanding, Andy." Martin Taylor laughed. He stood up from the broadcast stand and saw Twain hugging and celebrating with the players on the sidelines. Seeing his joy, he seemed to have won the game. Same.
"With a team like Arsenal, you should be satisfied with one. The shortcut to success is victory and results..."
※ ※ ※
After the match against Arsenal, the Forest team did not return to Nottingham, but flew directly from London to France to participate in the second match of the Champions League group stage on September 28. The Forest team challenged Lille away.
In France, the tired Forest team finally shook hands with Lille, and the two sides played 0:0.
If it was said that the draw with Arsenal in the last league game was what Tang En liked to see, then the draw in this game was the result that Tang En did not want to see.He originally hoped that the team would beat Lille away and give the team their first victory in the Champions League.However, the Forest team, which has been fighting continuously, is too tired, and it is completely powerless in the away game.
Starting from the first match of the Champions Cup group stage on September [-]th, the Forest team played five games in [-] days. This schedule is indeed too dense.Unreconciled, unwilling to return, Tang En has nothing to do in the face of this reason.
The only good news is that Real Madrid was tied by Benfica in Portugal, and the points of the four teams in Group D have not been stretched.
After the two group matches, Real Madrid ranked first in the group with four points, followed closely by Benfica and Lille with two points, and Nottingham Forest ranked last with only one point. Their "fourth grade" division.
The performance of Nottingham Forest is in line with most people's expectations. The Forest team, which returned to the Champions League after 24 years, did not show convincing strength, and it is reasonable to rank the bottom one.On the contrary, the strong team Real Madrid did not show strong strength. They did not win Benfica in the away game.
The qualifying situation of this group is not as simple as people imagined before.
But no matter how people analyze it, few people would think that Tony Twain's Nottingham Forest could finally qualify from this group with their performance in the first two group matches.However, when these people made similar analysis, they all overlooked a problem-the Forest team has been using the disabled team to compete with their opponents, Albertini was absent due to injury, and George Wood was also suspended. The importance cannot be expressed clearly in one or two sentences.
※ ※ ※
Returning to the UK from Lille, the league committee's research decision also came out. Stephen Johnson's penalty was a misjudgment, and Anelka's red card and two-game suspension were cancelled.At the same time, because of such a serious misjudgment in law enforcement, Johansen was suspended from qualifying for the Premier League.
This relief was good news for Nottingham Forest and Anelka, but Dunn didn't appreciate it.
When he got the final result, he shook off the paper in front of the reporter, expressing his dissatisfaction in a disdainful tone: "Okay, everyone. Now it turns out that we were wronged. But what's the matter?" Use? We lost an important striker in the most critical game, who will compensate for this loss? I understand that there is something that needs five days for them to study, who knows what they are studying?"
A day later, Tony Twain was fined [-] pounds by the Football Association of England for expressing "inappropriate" views on the work of the referee committee.
But Tang En didn't care, he was used to it.For him, he can freely express his feelings for a little money, and this deal is a good deal for him.
In the next league match, the Forest team, which had regained Anelka, swept Manchester City 2-0 at home. In this game, Twain used a rotation system, and most of the main players were replaced.This made Stuart Pierce think that it was a good opportunity for Manchester City to score away. Unexpectedly, the strength of the Forest team after the rotation was not affected, but even better.
Chinese player Sun Jihai started the game against his old club and played the entire game, performing quite well.Of course, on the side of the Chinese media, it has become "play eye-catching".
Gareth Bale also got his first start for Forest's first team and made a successful debut with one assist.In this game, Tang En arranged for him to play left back at the beginning, and Bell's performance was a little timid. In the second half, he was pushed to the midfield. After switching to left midfielder, his performance immediately changed.
Even Motes, the commentator of this game, is very optimistic about Bell's future: "At only 16 years old, he represented the club's first team in the Premier League. For Gareth Bell, this is his happy day. For Forest It is also a happy day for the fans of the team, because after George Wood, their team has harvested another talent from the youth academy! Look at his series of performances before assisting Viduka— —Calm, bold! Impressive!"
In addition to winning the game again and reaping a Gareth Bale who played well, Twain has another piece of good news.
On the second day of the game against Manchester City, Albertini appeared on the sidelines of the training field in his training uniform.All the players gathered around Albertini to welcome their captain back into the squad after more than a month out with injury.
Tang En smiled very brightly. Standing in front of Albertini, he joked loudly: "Look who this is? Demi, your legs must be rusted, right?"
"You're right, boss. That's why I have to move around a lot." Albertini kicked his legs.
"Welcome back!" Tang En gave Albertini a strong hug.
At present, the team's record in the Champions League is not satisfactory. At this time, the return of veteran Albertini brings not only an extra midfielder, but more experience.As the saying goes: An old family is like a treasure.Albertini is the pinnacle of the team...
That's why Tang En is in a surprisingly good mood. He believes that with Albertini's return, the team's performance in the Champions League will definitely change drastically.
Oh, right.Wood is also back, and he ended his suspension.The next Nottingham Forest's home game against Benfica will be the moment of his comeback.
What a double blessing.
Those of you who look down on us, you will soon see how wrong you are!
