Now the Forest team had to make a quick adjustment Albertini alone in theLisbon’s bombardment José Peseiro’s reaction was so fast that Twain even thought Rochee Wood’s clash was his plan If not, why had Sporting Lisbon adjusted its tactics right after Wood had co Lisbon, put the focus of its offense in the th of their numbers to storm the Forest team’s defense in the middle The erous and the hardest area to break through Al defense and push their opponents’ offense to the flanks

Co and narrow flanks, the wide middle section wasparty’s offense would directly face the goal frole and position The flanks,side required onethe ball from the flank to the middle

That hy the role of a defensive midfielder in a team was so important The defensive midfielder was the last line of defense in front of the center back and was the key to increasing the strategic depth of the defense If the defensive oal to be exposed to their opponents’ long shots for a long time It would also nullify the center back’s defense If there was no depth to the defense, it could always be penetrated by a volley One example was how the loss of Claude Makelele had led to Real Madrid’s pathetic perforood defensive e Wood’s function on the field was the same With him on his side, Albertini could feel assured that he could do his assists Even if he needed to defend, the Italian veteran would not be under too e Wood, always actively running and able to appear in any position at any moment, Albertini’s pressure increased sharply He needed to face the i Lisbon in a very short tiaps would inevitably surface

On the brink of danger, Gunnarsson was brought on to replace Ashley Young, strengthen the defense, and stabilize the defensive line in themidfielder position

Twain intended to defend to the last until the end of the ga Lisbon’s side, Peseiro alsothe main direction of the offense Roche to the teanosis, his ankle was probably sprained At the same time that Wood had stamped on it, Rocheether, and that was how Rochemback had ended up that way

If Rochemback had not wanted to take Wood down in the first place, he could have only suffered injuries like scrapes or bruises by swiftly ju up to avoid him Instead, he wanted to play dirty but Wood turned the table on hie only to end up worse off and suffer a loss

Sporting Lisbon did not iht off They waited for about threethose three e of their numbers to wait for one player

When that man took off his vest and stood on the sidelines to wait to play, Twain saw clearly who he was

He thought this man looked a little familiar, but could not recall who he was ireen-and-white jersey was printed with the player’s na En was shocked

How is he here? How could he be here now?

It was unlikely that any FM gamer would not know the name "Nani&8221; But his recollection was that Nani did not appear in the Sporting Lisbon First Team so early Was it because of his arrival that Nani’s debut had happened earlier?

The Sporting Lisbon er, Peseiro, had sent Nani for lack of better option The departure of Rochemback due to his injury, cooals, o all-out Nani had performed extremely well in the youth tea the First Tea hi unexpected surprises to the teaiven up the flanks and intended to hold their ground in thelad who could carry out attacks on both sides of the flanks His skills were outstanding Even if he was entrapped, he would still find ways to break through

When Nani first ca En was sure that this person was indeed Nani His stunning dribble caused the Forest teae Wood, it did not see It felt ave Nani a very sio wherever there were opportunities or gaps in either the left or right flank After he had possession of the ball, he had to break through, disrupt the Forest team’s defense, and wait for an opportunity to pass the ball or shoot

This arrangehly targeted

Even when Gunnarsson was brought on, the defense did not improve much On one hand, Gunnarsson had too few opportunities for appearances; he was unable to maintain his condition, and he was now rushed to play On the other hand, his ability was far different fro him on, too, was for lack of better option

The first half had not ended yet, and two substitutions had already been used There was nothing that Twain could do in his situation He could only sit and watch where the gao

He could not use all three substitutions now He should keep at least one just in case

The shouts of the Sporting Lisbon fans grew louder in the stands Whenever Nani took possession of the ball, the visiting fans who caet very excited Nani did not disappoint thehs made the Forest team’s defense particularly pathetic
