Chapter 52 Goal: Super League (Part 2)

"The game is about to enter the last ten minutes. The away Nottingham Forest is now tied with the opponent 3:3. This score is still because of Ipswich Town's central defender Richard Naylor (Richard Naylor) in the 33rd minute. The two teams played crazy today, and they scored a total of five goals in the first half! It took sixty-six minutes for Ipswich Town to come back."

"There's bad news for Forest. There's been a goal from Rotherham United. It's Wolves, and it's been a dull game. Signs. But this is definitely bad news for Twain. If this score is maintained until the end, then the Forest team will be five points behind the league's fifth Wolves."

"... let's see what happens... Oh! Goal! Marlon Halewood! It's his first goal of the game and his twenty-first of the season! This The ball must have made Tony Twain breathe a sigh of relief! In the 79th minute, his team once again led the home team, Ipswich Town!"

"The game is over! Nottingham Forest has achieved their wish and won their fourth consecutive victory in the away game! Dunn and his team are walking on the right path!"

April 5th, the forty-first round of the league. Twain led the team to a 4:3 victory over their most direct competitor, Ipswich Town, in an away game. Harewood's goal brought the team a valuable three-pointer.

On April 9th, the 40th round of the league match. Nottingham Forest lost a goal away to second-ranked Leicester City (Leicester). It was a planned failure. Tang En had some reservations, so he was happy that the team only lost one goal and behaved more like a winner in the game. Leicester City have 80 points, as many as 11 points ahead of third-placed Sheffield United, and they draw with 83-point Portsmouth with five games remaining in the league. (Portsmouth) has basically locked the two places directly promoted to the Premier League, and the remaining teams can only compete for the third place determined by the play-offs.

Since the seventh-ranked Ipswich Town has lost consecutive games and is getting farther and farther away from the sixth place, Dunn is not worried about being overtaken. So he simply reserved his strength to deal with the next opponent-Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolverhampton Wanderers).

This is a direct dialogue between sixth and fifth in the league. If Dunn wins, the Forest team will have the same points as the Wolves, and rely on the advantage of goal difference to overwhelm the Wolves and replace them. If it fails, the gap will be further widened.

Although the third to sixth in the league are eligible to participate in the play-offs. However, according to the rules of the FA, the play-offs will adopt a two-round knockout system, the semi-finals will be home and away, and the final will be decided in a gravity field. The opponents are from the third to the sixth in the league, and the fourth to the fifth. So the higher the ranking, the weaker the opponents you can encounter. This is also the reason why Twain tried every means to defeat the Wolves and finish fifth in the league.

Because this is a game that concerns the opponents in the playoffs, Dunn thinks so, and the head coach of the Wolves will naturally think so. Both sides did their best to make the best tactical arrangements. This was a head-on collision without fancy tricks. The head coaches of both sides have used up the substitution quota of three people, and have made all the targeted adjustments they can make.

Just nine minutes into the game, Wolves went ahead with their striker Nathan Blake.

Then in the twenty-sixth minute, Wolves midfielder Colin Cameron (Colin Cameron) sprinkled a handful of salt on Forest's wounds, 0:2! City Stadium fell into a dead silence.

It was David Johnson who stood up to save the team at the critical moment. His goal in the 40th minute gave Forest fans hope.

In the second half, the two sides deployed troops and generals, and the two head coaches played a high-level chess game using the pitch as a chessboard.

Finally, in the 73rd minute, Dunn's desperate tactics paid off. Captain Michael Dawson, who was pushed forward by Twain for the second time, scored his third goal of the season. The city stadium was detonated in an instant, and huge cheers erupted from the stands, so loud that Tang En couldn't even hear his own applause.

In the next game, despite Twain's best efforts, even though the players of the Forest team ran into cramps, there was no way to bring the fans a victory. They reluctantly shook hands with the Wolves at home.

The draw of this game did not change the pattern of the standings, the top six were still the same names as before, and even the order did not change.

Tang En's bad mood disappeared when he woke up the next morning. Because this night was Yang Yan's time to teach herself. He feels that there are two things to look forward to in today's life, one is the victory of every game, and the other is the Chinese class with Yang Yan.

Every time Yang Yan saw Tang En, she would habitually marvel at him, because he was the fastest in learning Chinese, Chinese, and Chinese culture among foreigners she had ever seen!

Every time after hearing Yang Yan's serious compliment, he added: "I'm definitely not complimenting you." Tang En would vigorously nod his head in agreement. Because he was originally a Chinese who could speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. He was born, raised and lived in China for 26 years.

Taking any Chinese class is just an excuse to get close to Yang Yan.

He just wanted to hear Yang Yan's voice, see her smile, be in the same room as her, breathe the same air, and talk about the same topics.

Basically, in the first half of a class, Yang Yan gave Tang En a lecture, and in the second half, Tang En gave Yang Yan a football lesson.

But neither of them felt that there was anything wrong with doing so. Yang Yan has gradually become a fan of the Forest team, and what about Tang En...his Chinese proficiency has also "improved by leaps and bounds", which gives Yang Yan a sense of accomplishment.

Every time he saw his old classmates with full achievements, Tang En felt it was funny. But he can't tell the truth, he absolutely can't tell others his true identity - on the one hand, he has realized that he may never return to the kind of life he used to; on the other hand, he likes the feeling of being a coach, even if He is a substitute, and he doesn't want to return this body.

As for Yang Yan...that was the only person who could keep him in touch with his previous life. In fact, there was not much in his past life that Tang En could miss, except for this girl. Let him occasionally remember that he once went to school in China and met some people...

In a sense, Yang Yan is his first love. But first love also mostly means no results. Tang En didn't plan to tell those old events, let them rot in his heart. Leave it as it is. I didn't know you before, and you didn't know me before. Now that we know each other, there can be no more stories.

Tang En's excitement after seeing Yang Yan was more due to the contrast between the present and the past, the side effects of the intertwining of reality and fantasy...

Now, that effect is gradually dissipating, and he can look at each other with a more peaceful mind.

The past, let it pass...
