Chapter 790 Volume Six Crimson Battle Red
After a crazy stoppage time, in the post-match press conference, both sides still focused on the two goals in stoppage time.

Tang En was very happy to be able to equalize the score at the last moment. For this reason, he didn't mention at all that he hoped to win this game before the game.

"The team has such a performance, why should I be dissatisfied? This result fully demonstrates the style of Nottingham Forest. I am very happy."

The draw and last-minute goals in this game are of great significance to Forest, which further boosted the morale and confidence of the team.The foundation is laid for the upcoming Liverpool and Christmas Devils schedule.

Ferguson seemed a little annoyed, but he still accepted the result: "So what if I can't accept it? This is football. I really didn't expect them to be able to equalize the score at the last moment..."

It would be an exaggeration to say that Ferguson looked ashen when Ibisevic fired the football into the goal guarded by Foster, but "ugly" is not bad at all.

This expression continued until he shook hands with Tang En. He was not in the mood to greet Tang En, shook hands with Tang En like a superficial touch, and left.

Go-ahead score at the last moment, and was equalized at the last moment.This kind of ups and downs really made people worry about whether his heart could bear it.The only good thing is that this game is just a league game, not a knockout match in the Champions League or FA Cup.

※ ※ ※

Ibisevic, who scored a late equalizer for Nottingham Forest, played briefly but was voted man of the match and was rewarded with a bottle of champagne.He was very happy that he was able to score the last goal, but he did not take the credit for himself, but said very modestly that it was the credit of the whole team.Without the long pass from captain Wood, he would not have had the chance to score.

In addition, he also mentioned another hero who was able to equalize the score: "When I hadn't adapted to the Premier League, the boss talked to me alone. He told me that Nottingham Forest's football is football that never admits defeat, no matter what the situation is. Never give up. I'm glad I did."

The Manchester United players who were interviewed were a little uncomfortable. "I really didn't expect them to be able to press the frontcourt at that time... We were a little flustered..." Rio Ferdinand explained the conceded goal for his central defender partner.

And Nemanja Vidic, who conceded the goal, walked quickly into the locker room with his head down, without accepting any interviews with reporters.I believe that Ferguson will not let him go after returning to the locker room, and a scolding will definitely not escape.

※ ※ ※

Dunn was smiling throughout the press conference, and he made no secret of his liking for the result.Ferguson, on the other hand, had a gloomy face, letting everyone know that he is very upset now, very upset.

After the press conference, Tang En returned to the locker room and found that the players were still talking about the two goals scored in stoppage time with great interest.Apparently they're excited about it too.

Tang En slapped his hands and signaled the players to calm down. He had something to say.

"Isn't it exciting to equalize at the last minute?"

A group of people laughed.Really exciting.

"I'm proud of your performance in the last 3 minutes. This is the Nottingham Forest I hope to see. But..." He changed the topic, and his expression became cold, "I still want to let you know— —If we could score goals earlier and take the situation into our own hands earlier, all of us would not have to experience this thrill.”

Tang En touched his heart: "I have a problem here, I don't want to experience such ups and downs a few more times. This game is a lesson for you—never entrust your fate to something you can't see or touch .We were able to tie the score but we also need to see that this is because Vidic made a very low-level mistake at the last moment. You can't always expect your opponents to make such a mistake. Your own destiny, you still have to hold it in your own hands , to be at ease." He clenched his fists, as if he had really grasped his own destiny.

After saying this, the smile reappeared on his face: "But the last ball was really good! Everyone did a good job! Now you can celebrate!"

First slap and then give a candy.It will neither make the players get too carried away, nor make them feel that the head coach is too strict and unreasonable.

Now that the team's morale is high, Tang En is not worried at all about the next home game against Liverpool.

After the game, when Ferguson invited Dunn to drink together, his mood seemed to return to normal. At least there was no trace of anger on the surface.It seems a little helpless.

After the game, the media all praised Ibisevic for bringing an important point to the Forest team.But Ferguson disagrees.

"They said Wood's kick was just a clearance kicked forward, I don't think so. He thought he was a premeditated long ball."

Tang En chuckled and didn't say yes or no.Anyway, Wood always has that kind of magical touch, and with his strength, he will never be able to kick the ball.

"You really don't think about coming to Manchester United to coach anymore?" After this game, Ferguson believed that Twain was the most suitable head coach for Manchester United.

"No, sir." Dunn shook his head while playing with the liquid in his glass.

Since he had a heart attack, he has basically quit the drink.However, after the game, out of courtesy, I still have to have a drink with my opponents, but a drink is not in the way.So Shania and the doctors didn't stop him, and he knew that his body would be fine if he had a drink.

When I quit drinking at first, I felt very uncomfortable, but now I don’t feel anything if I don’t drink.

"What a pity..." Ferguson murmured.

Tang En once again rejected Ferguson's invitation. Ferguson knew that with Tang En's personality, he would never accept the invitation again.So when I retire, can this Premier League overlord continue to be brilliant?Although I know that there are highs and lows, this is a natural law, but when it happens to my team, it is emotionally unacceptable...

He hoped that someone could continue his glory at Manchester United, but the most talented people turned him down twice.

Tang En saw what the old man was thinking, and persuaded him, "I think you are in good health, why don't you continue working?"

"You don't seem to want me to retire. I think this is a very strange thing. Aren't we rivals, Tony?" Ferguson looked at Dunn.

Tang En smiled: "With you gone, I may not win many more championships, because even if you are here, I can win many championships. Haha! But without you, I always feel that something is missing."

Ferguson drank the wine in his glass: "Don't worry, there's that guy Wenger. You won't be lonely."

"Professor, I don't want to argue with him." Tang En shrugged, "It's still fun to bicker with someone like you."

Ferguson suddenly understood what Tang En's "something is missing" meant.

Mourinho's departure left him with one less person to spit on each other. When he retired, almost none of the people left behind could talk to Twain.No wonder he felt lonely.

"If you feel uncomfortable when no one scolds you, even if I retire, I can still scold you bloody in the newspaper every week, Tony."

Tang En burst out laughing when he heard this.What a funny old man!
He also raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass: "If your successor is mediocre, don't you mind if I help you teach him a lesson?"

"As long as you can."

Back to Nottingham Forest soon ushered in Liverpool.

Due to a handshake with Manchester United in the away game, Nottingham Forest's points were surpassed by Liverpool and returned to fourth in the league again.

Liverpool returned to third place after beating Everton 3:2 at home.But they also paid a heavy price for this Liverpool City derby victory.

Central defender Agger was sent off on the spot for elbowing Everton striker James Vaughan during the game, and was subsequently suspended for three additional games.

Dutchman Ryan Babel was injured in the game and will miss three weeks.

Pennant was also injured. Although it was not too serious, he would definitely not be able to play against the Forest team.

Before adding Harbi Alonso and Dirk, who were injured.There are not many people who Benitez can use.

In view of this, Benitez was very low-key in the away game, put on a defensive posture, and planned to score a point to win.The team lost too many offensive players, but the defense basically retained its original strength.Although Agger received a red card, he was suspended until the next game, so he was still able to play against Nottingham Forest.

Therefore, Benitez also formed a very thick defensive formation in the midfield.Lucas and Mascherano have a double defensive midfielder configuration, and Gerrard is centered in the front, forming a triangle.

Gerrard is the main attacker, Mascherano and Lucas are the main defenders.

It can be seen that Benitez is very afraid of the Forest team's offense.

This result really made Tang En have the urge to burst into tears - after so many years, finally some opponents will make defensive adjustments because they are afraid of the Forest team's offense...

Although Benitez made such adjustments, his team still did not get a bargain in the city stadium.

Benitez's thick formation lasted only 27 minutes before it fell apart.

After Lucas and Mascherano made a mistake and Zigic seized the opportunity to steal the ball, he used his body to protect the football surrounded by two people until Cohen ran up to meet him. He wanted to pass the ball to Cohen, but took advantage of the moment when the encirclement loosened, and passed the football to Shaheen in the opposite direction.

After receiving the ball, Shaheen passed it to Lennon who came in from the left. Instead of directly passing the football to Lennon's feet, he imaginatively passed the ball in front of him, which just happened to give full play to Lennon's speed. Advantage.

Lennon picked up his speed, grabbed the football in front of Liverpool right back Alvaro Arveiroa, and directly broke through Liverpool's defense!
Next, he didn't go down, but directly slanted into the penalty area, and faced Agger's defense with a very concealed shot, the football pierced through Reina's ten fingers!
Nottingham Forest leads 1:0!

In this game, Twain did not use Eastwood and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who were relatively weak against each other, but used Ibisevic and Zikic as two strong and tall forward partners.It is to fight against Liverpool's powerful midfield defenders.

He succeeded.

This conceded goal put Liverpool in a very difficult situation.They definitely can't continue to defend, they can only come out to attack.This must suit Tang En's appetite.

Both the commentator and Benitez thought that Tony Twain would let his team play a defensive counterattack.But they all forgot that Tony Twain is a head coach who likes to fight against others.

This time, Nottingham Forest played against the desperate Liverpool at their home court.

The game was quite exciting and intense.Both sides got a lot of chances, and the goalkeepers of both teams became the busiest and most brilliant players for a while.

Before the end of the first half, Ibisevic caught Reina's throw and shot the popped football into the net. This is his No.11 league goal and No.14 total goal this season. ball.Nottingham Forest led 2-0 into the halftime break.

The team showed extraordinary optimism during the halftime break, which made Tang En have to put on a dark face again and play the role of villain, reminding them not to take it lightly.

"Who do you think your opponent is? It's not a cat or a dog, it's Liverpool! They have a captain Gerrard who is as unyielding as us! If anyone relaxes their vigilance and is too optimistic, even if we lead by three goals, we may be reversed in the second half!"

He was right. In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Liverpool relied on a free kick to cooperate with their captain Gerrard to score a goal with a strong long-range shot.

This goal greatly boosted Liverpool's morale, because the goal was indeed beautiful.The force is strong and the angle is tricky.Akinfeev who beat him was stunned and helpless.

If Liverpool are allowed to play like this, it will be a matter of time before the score is equalized.Twain had to make adjustments, replacing Shaheen with Thiago to strengthen the middle.

After Thiago went up, he used his active running to allow Forest's midfielder to compete with Liverpool's midfielder.It also regained the disadvantage a little bit, killing the fighting spirit of the Liverpool players.After another 10 minutes passed without Liverpool scoring, their attacking momentum finally waned.

How could Nottingham Forest let go of such an opportunity?

He counterattacked back in one go.

Cohen and Barnes played a two-for-one cooperation on the left and directly crossed the ball. Zigic once again exerted his air dominance ability and overwhelmed Agger and Martin_Skrtel (Martin_Skrtel) with a header into the net.Expanded the score to 3:1.

Just 2 minutes later, Ibisevic made a comeback and used a tricky long shot from outside the penalty area to penetrate Reina's ten fingers. 4:1!

The game has basically lost its suspense.

But Gerrard is still looking for scoring opportunities.Knowing No.806 minutes, he finally scored the second goal for the team.However, when the score of 2:4 was only 4 minutes away from the end of the game, nothing could be changed.

Nottingham Forest is not Manchester United, and they will not allow Liverpool to be themselves in the last round of the league.

At the last moment, the Nottingham Forest team recovered and withstood Liverpool's onslaught.Keep the score of 4:2 to the end.Successfully scored three points!

Now, Tang En and his boys can have a good Christmas.
