Chapter 49: After the Game (One Hundred and Fourteen/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)

When Wu Lei rushed over at a sprint speed of 100 meters and then pushed the Nottingham Forest player carrying the ball to the ground, Chang Sheng waved his fist on the sidelines.

He knew that a draw in this game was getting closer and closer to him.

Sure enough, the Nottingham Forest players then swarmed in and surrounded Wu Lei, just like the wasps that had been stabbed in their nests, as expected by Chang Sheng. Some people pushed Wu Lei very excitedly.

Wu Lei fell to the ground very smartly. The Lazio players were originally surrounding the referee to protest the unsportsmanlike behavior of the Nottingham Forest players, but upon seeing this, they immediately rushed towards him with screams.

After Chang Sheng showed a smile on the sidelines, he started to find trouble with the fourth official.

This game has less than five minutes left before injury time. At this time, it would be best to delay some time due to conflicts.

He wished for this.

Delaying time...

Precisely because he knew why Lazio did this, Tony Twain shouted to his players on the sidelines: "Don't be fooled! This is their strategy! Go back!!"

It's a pity that his voice was completely drowned by the boos in the sky, and the Nottingham Forest players on the court couldn't hear it at all.

They were completely entangled with the Lazio players.

※ ※ ※

The conflict between the two sides lasted for four minutes.

Wu Lei received a yellow card, and the Nottingham Forest player who was the first to push was also shown a yellow card. Each player scored fifty rebounds.

But Tony Twain doesn't care about this result. He is ordering the players to seize the moment and attack.

After being disrupted by damn Lazio, there was not much time left in the game, and it could all go directly into injury time.

Even if there is five or six minutes of injury time, there is not much time left for Nottingham Forest.

If you can't win, your efforts are meaningless.

He turned and glanced at the coaching bench next door.

Chang Sheng has ended the trouble of finding the fourth official,

Watching the game from the sidelines.

This damn bastard...

Tony Twain cursed in his heart.

That final conflict. It must have been directed by this person!

A conflict that consumed all five minutes of the game.

Precious time was wasted so meaninglessly!

※ ※ ※

Soon the fourth official announced the stoppage time - six minutes!

Because of that conflict, there was as much as six minutes of injury time!

This gave hope to the Nottingham Forest fans, who had already been in a quiet mood in the stands, and they started to make noise again and cheer for their team.

The Lazio fans seemed nervous.

It's not impossible to score a goal in six minutes.

Especially this is the home ground of Nottingham Forest...

After the injury time started, Chang Sheng made the third substitution. He replaced the veteran Cavani with another central defender Joseph Ellerz.

Thus. Lazio only has one Mario Gotze left on the front line.

Cavani deliberately walked slowly when he came off the field, and kept waving to the fans in the stands - in fact, the stands were almost filled with hostile Nottingham Forest fans. What could he do to wave to?

He just wanted to delay time.

There were boos in the stands for his actions.

There were also Nottingham Forest players who came up anxiously to push Cavani, hoping that he could get off the field quickly.

This naturally gave Cavani a chance to shine, and he pretended to be angry and turned around and pushed his Nottingham Forest players. Just stand on the court and don’t leave at all!

He wanted to take the opportunity to continue delaying the game.

Anyway, this is injury time. Even if I lose some time, I can't make it up again.

So in fact, injury time is the best opportunity to delay.

Cavani's actions naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the Nottingham Forest fans.

The overwhelming boos came again.

Everyone else also knew what Cavani was going to do.

The referee ran up and gave Cavani a yellow card, ruling that he deliberately delayed the game.

Cavani can pretend with the Nottingham Forest players, but he dare not pretend in front of the referee.

So although he was dissatisfied with receiving a yellow card, he still stopped pestering the Nottingham Forest players. Turn around and walk off the field.

Of course, he had managed to use up nearly a minute.

After coming off the field, he naturally received a big hug from Chang Sheng.

※ ※ ※

If Chang Sheng thought that he could sit back and relax like this, he was naturally miscalculated.

Because after six minutes of injury time arrived. The referee did not blow the whistle to end the game, and the game continued!

Chang Sheng, other members of the coaching staff, and Lazio's substitute players all stood up from their seats and walked to the sidelines to protest to the fourth official and the referee.

The Italian commentator sarcastically said: "The game time is up! The game time is up! The injury time is still going on? Does the referee want to make up another 90 minutes of the game?!"

The Lazio fans in front of the TV were pointing at the TV screen and yelling that the referee was a dog raised by the British.

The Lazio players on the field kept pointing to their wrists to remind the referee that the game time had passed.

But the referee still went his own way. The protests from Lazio players were ignored.

In the end, the referee made up for nine minutes before blowing the whistle to end the game.

The score still didn't change. Still 0:0!

Lazio managed to hold on to the tie on the road!

After encountering such a bad venue, this draw is particularly precious!

※ ※ ※

"The game is over! Although it was three minutes late, the game is still over! Lazio tied with Nottingham Forest 0:0 in the away game! Such a score and result may surprise some people, thinking that Nottingham Forest has created another New upset. But anyone who watched this game will think that the winner is Lazio! ”

"Nottingham Forest's home court is very problematic. Thiago was injured during the pre-match warm-up. Despite this, Lazio still tenaciously drew with Nottingham Forest away from home. This game fully demonstrated Lazio's defense to us! Once The team that set the record for the fewest goals conceded in a single season in European football still retains its power!”

Compared with the excitement of commentators from other countries. England's commentator seemed much more frustrated.

"We had great opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them once. Nottingham Forest had thirty-nine shots in this game and seventeen shots within the goal frame, but not a single goal was scored! We I have to admit that this game well exposed the weakness of Tony Twain’s team that is not good at attacking..."

"This game is not exciting, but I think the story after the game will be exciting... Nottingham Forest's poor pitch, Lazio's passive and conservative tactics and various delays in the game, and the nine-minute final game Injury time...I think this will be the focus of discussion!"

The commentator was right. The game was not exciting, but the press conference after the game was very exciting.

At the post-match press conference, the time between the two head coaches was very short. Almost as soon as the first one left, the second one came in.

It even made one wonder when the first person was doing the post-match press conference. Is the second person waiting at the door?

Tony Twain was the first to attend the post-match press conference.

He slammed Lazio's unsportsmanlike delaying tactics at the press conference.

"Such a blatant and crazy delay is unheard of and rare in the world! I think UEFA should severely punish Lazio for this behavior. This is a very bad example. If this behavior is not punished as it should be, then There will definitely be many such situations in the future in such a sacred arena as the Champions League, which is a serious harm to football and the Champions League!”

As for not being able to win the game despite having the advantage, is it because Nottingham Forest's offensive ability is too weak.

Tony Twain also denied it.

"Sometimes, luck is also important. We performed very well in the game, but our luck was relatively bad. Moreover, Lazio players frequently fell to the ground, which also greatly affected the team's rhythm..."

Anyway, in a word, the failure to win is definitely not due to the strength of the team.

Just when Tony Twain left, Chang Sheng arrived. He proved to everyone that he had been eavesdropping outside the door.

Without waiting for the reporter to relay Tony Twain's words to him, he said bluntly: "Delaying the game time? My players definitely did not delay the game time. On a terrible vegetable field like the City Stadium, my players still need to pretend to be injured. Can you go and run it yourself to see if what I said is right? To be honest, now I feel that my players can still play the entire game after running on that field for ninety minutes. A miracle in the history of human sports!”

Tony Twain complained about Lazio delaying the game, and Chang Sheng criticized Nottingham Forest's home stadium.

"And I think Mr. Tony Twain is not qualified to talk about sportsmanship in front of me. I think he himself knows what is going on in this stadium, and everyone knows it in their hearts. It is important for a person to adapt to the venue before one day." It's still a normal venue, why did it suddenly turn into a bad place? Why did my players sprain their feet during the warm-up before the game? I think everyone here is interested in it, right? Tony Twain is not the first person to do anything on the ground, but he is the most shameless one!"

"UEFA wants to investigate us for delaying the game? I don't know, but I think UEFA can first investigate whether Nottingham Forest's home stadium is qualified to host Champions League-level events."

Chang Sheng spread his hands.

"In addition, nine minutes of injury time, how did this come about? Even if Cavani's dismissal took one minute, it should be seven minutes of injury time to make up for it. These two extra minutes Where did the minute come from? Lazio has decided to protest to UEFA regarding the venue and stoppage time of this game!”

"As for this draw, I made no secret of my satisfaction with the result. In such poor venue conditions, we were able to draw with our opponents, which fully demonstrates our strength - yes, even if the venue is as bad as vegetables Even the earth cannot beat us, this is Lazio!”

PS: Where is the monthly ticket? I am calling you affectionately!

This is the fourth update!
