Albertini saw Wood run back onto the field and return to his side. He turned his head and smiled at him.
"How's it going, George? Is there no problem? "
Wood nodded. "Yes, there's no problem."
"That's great. We can free up our hands to attack!"
Hearing Albertini say so, Wood glanced at the time on the big screen. The game had been going on for twenty minutes and the score was still 0: 0. Although the Forest team was a little disheveled on the field, this was Old Trafford, was it not?
※ ※ ※
Manchester United continued to attack. After Scholes took the ball, he gave it to Giggs on the flank. The Welshman was now old. If it had been two years ago, he would have put the opponent's entire right flank defense into a state of high tension after he took the ball. His breakthroughs were always successful and intimidating.
Today, his breakthroughs were clearly a lot less. Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo on the right, he looked like a hero past his prime. But that did not mean he could be despised.
The young man from France, Chimbonda, somewhat despised Giggs. He had long heard of the Welshman's prestige, but that was a long time ago. No one could escape the torment of time.
As Chimbonda thought so, he pounced at the first opportunity. He wanted to intercept the ball and then fight back while the other side had not adjusted. But he underestimated the strength of the veteran in front of him. Giggs saw Chimbonda pounce and deftly poked the football under Chimbonda's crotch with the tip of his foot.
Then he jumped up and dodged the other side's shovel.
"Oh oh oh oh!!" The commentator got excited. The game had been going on for twenty minutes and Giggs had not made a breakthrough. It would be too disappointing not to see the Welshman's breakthroughs. "Ryan Giggs — look at the distance between Chimbonda's legs. It's big enough to drive through a car! What's he thinking? That's too rash! "
When Albertini saw Giggs break through Chimbonda, he hurriedly dropped his position and rushed to the flank. After all, he was closer. Instead of letting the center back fill in, it was better to do it himself. So, as he ran to Giggs, he reached out and motioned for Matthew Upson to return to his position.
Van Nistelrooy and Rooney were not just for show …
Seeing that Giggs had broken through Chimbonda, Ferguson got up from his seat, clenched his fists, and waited for the moment to cheer.
A crack had been torn in Nottingham Forest's defensive line. In order to make up for this crack, the Forest team needed to transfer troops from other places. That way, more cracks would appear one after another. He was waiting for this moment!
In contrast to Ferguson's anticipation, Tang En also stood up from his seat. He stretched his body forward and leaned out of the technical area at Old Trafford. He similarly clenched his fists, but it was definitely not to celebrate anything. His mouth was puckered up, ready to spit out the word "F" at any time.
Giggs saw Albertini charging towards him. He didn't need to look at the front of the penalty area to know what was going on.
There were people in front of the Forest team's goal. Van Nistelrooy attracted all of Hernando Piqué's defensive attention. Wayne Rooney was closely marked by Matthew Upson. In addition, there was Leighton Baines, who had returned to the penalty area to assist in the defense. Cristiano Ronaldo also came in to join in the fun. He also passed the ball to the front of the penalty area without any efficiency.
Albertini was getting closer and closer to him. Giggs feinted a direct pass. Albertini was tricked into a flying tackle. The Welshman took advantage of the situation and smashed Albertini away. Then, he passed the ball to the front of the penalty area.
There was Scholes here!
Albertini went to fill in. Naturally, George Wood had to fill in for Albertini.
Scholes ran towards the ball and looked like he was going to shoot directly. Wood wanted to take advantage of the moment he swung his leg to fly out and block the shooting route. But the scene of Demetrio being swung by Giggs suddenly flashed in his mind.
So, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Sure enough, at the same time, Scholes in front of him missed the incoming ball!
The football flew in front of Wood and fell towards Roy Jean!
Here it comes again!
Wood turned around at the same time and pounced on the opponent again. He did not consider whether the ball would hit his face again. He was the defensive midfielder and the first barrier to the goal. He absolutely could not flinch.
"Roy Keane received the ball … George Wood pounced on it!"
Before the football flew to him, Keane swung his leg on the spot, intending to do a direct volley shot. But he suddenly saw Wood turn around, which surprised him a little. Why was the kid not fooled by Paul?
He had no time to think about it in the next second. Keane temporarily changed the idea of a direct volley shot because he was not sure if his kick would still hit the opponent.
Kid, even if Scholes did not fool you, there is nothing you can do now!
Wood saw Keane's leg, so he flew over again. Everything was exactly the same as the time he was hit in the face. But this time, he was fooled …
Roy Keane got into his stance and George Wood leapt into the air. The scene was very emotional. But then, Keane swung his leg and smashed the football downwards, and Wood flew past in front of him …
Then, without waiting for Wood to get up, the Manchester United captain changed his leg to volley!
This time, it was not a feint. It was for real!
"Roy Keane —!!"
The football was like a cannonball and instantly passed through the crowd in the penalty area. When Wood looked back, he could only see van Nistelrooy lowering his head to let the ball pass …
Because the crowd in the penalty area blocked his view, the goalkeeper, Darren Ward, did not guard against Keane's powerful long shot. Although he leaped into the air, he was too far away from the football.
“What_a_GOOOOOAL！！ What_a_great_GOOOOOAL！！！”
The football lifted the net fiercely, and thunderous applause and cheers rang out in the Theatre of Dreams audience. The protagonist, Roy Keane, clenched his fist and waved it into the sky, then roared at the sky!
At his feet lay George Wood, who had been defeated by him with one sword …
