"Ribéry's pass … Beautiful!"
Eastwood moved at the same time and appeared behind Taylor. When the panicked Taylor turned around, he could no longer catch up to Nottingham Forest's number 11.
The other center back, Baumbson's first reaction was to raise his hand to signal to the referee that Eastwood was offside. He did not hear the referee's whistle and only saw Viduka turn and run past him. His target was the penalty area!
"He's offside! Celestine Babayaro is at the back! "
"Damn it!" Souness jumped up. He saw that Forest's forward, Eastwood, had already received the ball and Juen hastily struck out …
There was a sudden burst of loud cheers in the visitors' stands. More than a thousand Forest fans shouted the Forest team's name and stood up from their seats.
"Forest, Forest!!"
"Eastwood slid past Juen, from a very tight angle … Shoot —"
There was no longer any suspense. After seeing Eastwood get past Juen, Tang En stood by the side of the field with his arms raised high, ready to celebrate. Almost at the same time as the commentator, he shouted, "GOOOOOAL!!"
“GOOOOOAL！！ A beautiful goal! Freddy Eastwood!! The amazing Romani! He only let the Newcastle fans' joy last for ten minutes! 1: 1. Both sides are back to the starting point! "
"GOOOOOAL!!!" The Nottingham Forest fans around Tom Sawyer all roared at him. They opened their "bloody mouths" as if they would eat him up at any moment. Amidst their roars, Tom could only shrink his neck and lower his head, allowing them to spit saliva at his ears. Now, he deeply regretted accepting Tang En's match ticket yesterday …

Forest's morale was high after equalizing the score. They actually managed to suppress Newcastle in their own half of the field at St. James' Park. This time, it was the Forest fans' turn to sing non-stop.
The first half ended with the Forest fans' loud singing. Both sides were tied for the time being. Forest's players appeared very excited when they came off the field. They all jogged off the field. On the other hand, Newcastle's players were a little sullen. Their captain, Shearer, frowned deeply as he hurried into the players' tunnel. It seemed that he was even more dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half than Souness, who was the bishop.
The intermission was a relief for Shania's cousin, Tom. He found an excuse, hurriedly said goodbye to his cousin, Shania, and ran out of the stadium. He would rather spend his own money in a bar to cheer for the team with the Newcastle United fans than to watch the game surrounded by a group of Forest fans. As for Cousin Judy, since she doesn't want to go, let her be!
Shania smiled happily as she watched Cousin Tom run away in a hurry.
Just as her cousin's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, a fat man beside Shania smiled at her and said, "Looks like he's scared out of his wits."
Shania shrugged, then smiled at Fatty and said, "Thank you, Uncle John."
"No need to thank me, little girl. I knew it when I saw your expression when you appeared here with that kid. Did Tony give you the tickets? " This fat man was none other than John, who followed the team to the away game to cheer for them. The people around him were the group of people from the Forest bar. When Twain first brought Shania to the Forest bar for a meal, these people had seen her before. They could be considered acquaintances, and it was natural to help an acquaintance when she was in trouble.
Shania nodded.
"That scoundrel!" John laughed heartily. "Don't worry and watch the game from here. Watch how we slaughter the Northerners! You don't mind me saying this, do you? "
"I'm Brazilian." Shania smiled. "I'm a fan of Uncle Tony!"
"That enviable guy!" John frowned and scolded.
"Hey, John! Be careful, or I'll tell your wife everything I saw today! "Someone immediately shouted, and it immediately drew laughter from the surrounding crowd.
Shania sat in the middle of the group of men, but she did not have the slightest bit of worry like her cousin. She felt that there was nothing more comfortable than being in this group of people, so when the men laughed at the top of their lungs, she couldn't stop laughing too.

While Shania was having fun with John and the others in the stands, Twain was praising the team's performance in the locker room.
"Guys, you did a good job in the first half, especially in the final stage. Newcastle's defense is still their biggest problem in the second half. As long as we seize another chance, we can end them! "He clenched his fist and pounded it.
Eastwood stood up. "Boss, you don't have to worry about that. We are sure to win this game. We don't want you to lose face in front of that beautiful girl! Don't you think so, everyone? "He turned and shouted to his teammates in the room.
Everyone immediately echoed in agreement.
"That's right, boss! But how do you know such a beautiful girl? "
"Boss, what's her name? Where is she from? "
"Ashley, are you still thinking of hitting on the boss? Don't you want a main position and a chance to play? "Eastwood jumped out and reprimanded Ashley Young" righteously ".
"Whoa whoa —"
Someone simply whistled.
Faced with this group of excited men, Twain smiled bitterly and shook his head. It looked like he would have to hide his meeting with Shania from them in the future. Otherwise, they would make fun of him every day in the future.
"Ashley, if you want to know, you can ask them yourself. Don't worry, I won't stop you, "Twain said, pointing at Ashley Young. This made Ashley Young feel embarrassed.
During Newcastle's halftime break, Souness must have been busy criticizing the team's defense and arranging strategies for the second half. On the other hand, Forest was as relaxed as if it was a party. If Souness knew what their opponent was doing, who knew what he would think.
※ ※ ※
Shortly after the start of the second half of the game, Alan Shearer was replaced by Souness. Looking at his limping appearance, Twain realized that the media report was not fake news. Alan Shearer was really playing with an injury. Playing half of the game had aggravated his injury and he had no choice but to leave the field early.
Without Shearer, Newcastle's attack dropped a notch. Kluivert was no longer the talented youngster who defeated AC Milan in the Champions League, nor was he the world-class striker who held a stable position in Barcelona's main force. Now that he had put more energy into a rich and colorful nightlife, the halo he once had was gradually fading.
Nottingham Forest took advantage of the time when Newcastle's offense was chaotic after Shearer left the field to score another goal. With Viduka's assist, Albertini knocked down the goal guarded by Shay Given.
Forest, who was leading by 2: 1, became more and more relaxed. On the other hand, Newcastle became more nervous after Souness's roar.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, only the Nottingham Forest fans' singing could be heard in St. James' Park, which could hold up to 50,000 people. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, "senior" Souness had nothing to say in front of Tony Twain, a junior.
"… Tony Twain's team played well. It's reasonable for them to win. I have nothing to say … "
At the press conference, Souness's face no longer had a trace of pride.
