Walker also stood up to protest. Just as they were dissatisfied with the referee's decision, Millwall launched a quick attack on the field.
Wise passed the ball to Cahill in front. Then Tang En saw Cahill dribble the ball in a straight line from the side, bypassing Gareth Williams. After entering the 30-meter zone for Forest, he made a feint and suddenly cut inside!
This deceived Forest's right back, John Thompson, who came up to defend him. Next, he dribbled the ball horizontally. Eugen Bopp came up to snatch the ball. He used his hands to hold the German youngster and continued to dribble the ball into the middle.
At this time, Millwall's forwards were cutting diagonally into the penalty area, disrupting Forest's defensive line …
When he saw this scene, Tang En's mind suddenly surfaced the scene he saw in the 2006 World Cup … Tim Cahill, also wearing the number 4 jersey, was at the top of the penalty area, almost without a run-up …
"Don't let him shoot! Foul! F * cking foul … "Tang En roared. But his voice was immediately drowned out by the loud cheers.
Number 4 Cahill suddenly raised his leg to shoot while running horizontally!
The ball passed through the gap between Michael Dawson and Wes Morgan! With a gust of wind, it skimmed over the turf at a low altitude and entered the net before Forest's goalkeeper, Darren Ward's hand could reach it!
“GOOOOOAL！ Tim Cahill! What a beautiful long shot! He alone defeated Forest's entire defensive line! A 23-year-old rising star! Unparalleled momentum! Millwall's home field lead! "
Millwall's players hugged together to celebrate the goal. Tang En and his assistant, Walker, were complaining to the fourth official about Muscat's foul just now.
"That was clearly a foul! If shoveling someone from behind doesn't boast, what are you boasting about?! Must you wait for that d * mn Australian to shovel my player's leg before you care? "Tang En opened his mouth wide and spat at the fourth official.
Millwall's center back, vice-captain Kevin Muscat, was also considered "notorious" in England. He even had the title of "Number One Butcher."
Not long ago, a Charlton player's leg was broken by him. Although he received 750,000 pounds as retirement compensation, he would never be able to play football again.
There was a long list of names at the feet of the less than 1.8-meter center back: Bellamy, Dujari, Lazaridis …
Fortunately, Johansson dodged at the crucial moment. Otherwise, his name would immediately be on the list.
While Tang En was chattering away to the fourth official, Millwall's head coach, McRally, also came up to join in the fun. He said sarcastically to Tang En, "Mr. Tang En, you'd better find your own problems and not trouble the referee."
Twain stared at the other party with widened eyes. "You bastard, you're still taking advantage of me …" He really wanted to pounce on the bastard and punch him. Unfortunately, if he did that, he would have to go down with him — McCreary was naturally sent directly to the hospital.
The Millwall fans in the stands who saw the scene on the sidelines naturally booed Tang En. The fans who were closer to him shouted insults at Tang En. Their voices could be heard clearly.
The fourth official, who was sandwiched between the two head coaches, had no choice but to give each of them a stern warning. "All of you, go back. If anyone steps out of your coach's command area again, I'll ask the referee to send you to the stands! Go back! "
He waved his hand. Millwall's manager held his head high like a rooster who had just won a fight and strode back to his seat. As for Tang En, he was still swearing and walking back to the technical area reluctantly. In fact, he knew that as long as the referee decided to count the ball in, no matter what he did, he could not change the result. This was not the ridiculous era of the 1982 World Cup in Spain, where a prince of a small West Asian country threatened to withdraw from the game and the referee changed the score.
They still could not hold on! The situation was becoming more and more disadvantageous. With a goal in hand, Millwall could completely retreat to their half of the field and use their brutal defense and home field momentum to seal off the Forest team's counterattack and maintain the 1: 0 score until the end.
This was the scene that Tang En did not want to see the most.
※ ※ ※
When the game resumed, Millwall's performance seemed to confirm what Tang En had just thought. They purposely retracted their defensive line and used a fierce and brutal defense to stop the Forest team's counterattack.
David Johnson was violated by Muscat twice in the span of 15 minutes. When he stood up with a limp, the only punishment the perpetrator received was a verbal warning from the referee.
Just like that, the Forest players were angered by Millwall's defense. This anger was burning amidst the incessant boos, jeers, and laughter from the home fans.
The young and hot-blooded Eugen Bopp saw his teammate being violated by Muscat again and again and was determined to find a chance to take revenge on him. He wanted to let him know that the Forest team was not to be trifled with!
When Muscat intercepted the ball with a shovel that seemed to have been a foul, he quickly rushed forward. It looked like he was snatching the ball, but in reality, his arm was placed on the opponent's ribs. Then, with the momentum, he lifted the unprepared Muscat up from the ground!
The referee's whistle sounded. The surrounding Millwall players rushed forward, and the Nottingham Forest players also joined in. Loud boos sounded from the stands.
The scene was chaotic.
"This bastard!" Tang En scolded Bopp off the field. "Didn't he just fall into Millwall's trap? He's too young! "
With the referee's hurried whistle and a few clear-headed players from both sides desperately trying to dissuade them, the fight finally did not break out. The referee called Eugen Bopp out and gave him a yellow card.
This caused the Millwall players to be dissatisfied. They felt that such a deliberate foul should have been given a red card. The referee ignored their complaints and called Muscat to the side again to give him a few words of warning. Muscat thought that it was over and continued to complain incessantly. He did not expect the referee to raise his hand and flash a yellow card in front of him!
The Millwall players surrounded the referee anxiously again. The boos from the stands also targeted the referee on duty.
Tang En, who saw this scene from the sidelines, snorted. "From the manager to the players to the fans, they're still complaining. Bastards! "
Walker sighed. There was nothing he could do in such a game. Everything was against them.
"Des, how much time is left until the end of the first half?" Tang En heard Walker sigh and asked.
"Nine minutes." Walker looked at his watch. "Tony, the situation is not too bad. At least Bopp didn't get sent off and we didn't concede any more goals."
Tang En interrupted him. "You'd better not say that when the first half is not over. Also, Bopp will miss the EFL Cup semi-finals because of this yellow card if we can successfully make it to the semi-finals. Gunnarsson is also in danger. He also carried a yellow card in previous games. "
Hearing Tang En say that, Walker opened his mouth and did not know what to say for a long time. The situation was worse than he had imagined.
"Get the team to retreat as a whole. Don't press forward to avoid Millwall's counterattack. The time before the end of the game is the easiest time to concede a goal," Tang En instructed. Walker got up to convey his intentions.
Now they could only hope that the score would not change at the end of the half. 0: 1 could still be turned, but it would be difficult to turn the score at 0: 2.
※ ※ ※
The referee dispersed the annoying Millwall players who surrounded him like flies. Muscat's yellow card was as unchangeable as the score. In fact, they should really be thankful that the referee only took out his card now. Otherwise, the center-back's previous actions would be enough for him to be sent off twice.
The game resumed. Once the Nottingham Forest players took the ball, the stands would erupt with louder boos than before. The Millwall fans thought that Eugen Bopp should be sent off immediately. They even thought that the entire Nottingham Forest team should be sent off.
Following that, this group of fanatical home fans began to verbally attack the Forest players who were playing on the field. They insulted their families and all their female relatives. They were using all sorts of tricks in hopes of angering the Forest players. Not only that, they also tried to attack the away stands where the Forest fans were.
The entire Newden Stadium seemed to have become a noisy scene of vulgar language. The vulgar words and boos would only stop temporarily when the Millwall players were in possession of the ball. As long as the Forest players touched the ball, the noise would immediately start again. What a well-trained Kanbi Symphony Orchestra.
Tang En did not take the noise to heart. He had led the team to so many away games, and it was not the first time he had seen such a scene. Although it sounded like he was about to have a heart attack when the noise rang out, it was no longer able to affect his emotions.
Suddenly, a song came from the stands behind the technical area. It came from afar and grew louder, becoming clearer and clearer. Tang En was not the only one who heard it. Even the players on the substitutes' bench and the members of the coaching staff stood up in surprise.
Then the sound spread to the entire stands. The Millwall fans drank until their faces were flushed red. They raised their arms and sang excitedly.
"There's a kid called Gavin! He used to like Nottingham Forest! Now he's lying on the ground with his face trampled into pieces! Smashed into pieces! Scram home! Nottingham bastards, that dead man is your role model! Oh oh oh! Gavin Gavin! Smashed into pieces! Yay yay yay! Gavin Gavin! Gavin! "
Tang En's heart tightened violently, almost stopping beating.
