At the beginning of the first half, Lazio once again threatened Nottingham Forest's offense. In the end, Messi's ball was dragged over the crossbar by Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Peter Johnson.
Then the game fell into a stalemate, and the scene was not very nice. Most of the time, Lazio was passing the ball. Occasionally, there would be direct dialogue between Lazio and Nottingham Forest. The scene was very intense, but it passed quickly.
Then it was deadlocked again.
The pace is not fast, very slow.
It wasn't until the end of the first half that Lazio suddenly showed strength.
Another round of fierce offensive attacks towards Nottingham Forest.
It is completely different from their slow passing in the second half. When Lazio attacks the edge of Nottingham Forest's penalty area, they will suddenly speed up the passing speed, and then pass forward at this time, hoping to break Nottingham Forest's penalty area.
Defense.
Of course, they didn't forget to attack the Forest players if they lost the ball.
Even if we can't steal it and launch an attack directly, we still have to interfere with Nottingham Forest's offense.
This prevents them from accurately delivering the football to the forwards in the frontcourt.
This is the most important.
The frontcourt press does not necessarily have to win the ball every time to be successful. If it can prevent the opponent's quick counterattack, it is considered a success.
The last ten minutes of the first half were carried out at this fast pace.
However, until the end of the first half, Lazio still failed to break through Nottingham Forest's goal.
The first half ended with a score of 0:0.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the England commentator seemed particularly excited.
"The first half is over! Nottingham Forest successfully defended Lazio's fierce offensive! This is really amazing! It is not easy for Lazio to prevent him from scoring in the entire first half. Especially against them
Fourteen shots were taken in the first half! Nottingham Forest once again proved to Europe that they are indeed the best defensive team in Europe this season!"
"Lazio once had a record of conceding only nine goals in a season without conceding a goal. I think Nottingham Forest can try to make an impact this season. So far in the Premier League, they have only conceded one goal. This kind of defense is very scary.
of!"
"I think Nottingham Forest should let the Italian team that attaches great importance to defense have a good look at what real defense is like! Even if Lazio once set a record of only conceding nine goals in a single season, I'm afraid they will have to submit to the rising star Nottingham Forest!"
England's commentators don't care that the football played by Nottingham Forest is incompatible with the mainstream. At this time, as long as they can stop Lazio - not defeat, just stop, that will be a very satisfying thing!
What Real Madrid and Dortmund have failed to do, if Nottingham Forest could do it, how shameless would English football be!
When Lazio was at its most glorious, Lazio was already the world BOSS in Europe.
Teams all over Europe have as their goal to beat Lazio.
If any team can beat Lazio, it will be something worth showing off for a long time.
If a player scores a goal against Lazio, it will inevitably become the focus of media reports. Maybe his own career will also change. What about getting a chance from a small team to join a wealthy team?
Until now, although Lazio has not won the Champions League championship for three consecutive years and has been empty-handed for two consecutive years, as the once global BOSS in Europe, Lazio's residual power is still there.
Especially this season, they were assigned to the group of death. Everyone thought they were doomed, but unexpectedly they won two games in a row!
Such performance naturally made many people look favorably on them again.
If Nottingham Forest can prevent Lazio from scoring, it will definitely be a sensational news in the European continent.
※※※
During the intermission, guests from all over the country felt incredible about this first half.
Because amid Lazio's fierce offensive, Nottingham Forest actually didn't concede a single goal.
Everyone knew that Nottingham Forest's defense was excellent before, but no one expected it to be so good. Facing Lazio, they were guaranteed not to concede a single goal in the first half!
What level is this?
There are very few teams that can do this.
At least no team has been able to do it this season, whether in the league or the Champions League.
Although the guests had mixed opinions about Nottingham Forest's playing style, this did not prevent some people from starting to think that Nottingham Forest's football is not good to watch, but it can win.
So if Forest really defeats Lazio with their defense, will more people realize that defending is not a negative thing?

On TV, while guests with different opinions were still arguing about Nottingham Forest's defensive tactics, both Lazio and Forest teams were in their respective locker rooms, making adjustments and arrangements for the second half.
Winning often emphasizes how to target the weaknesses of Forest's goalkeeper.
Then he told his players how to deal with Chen Jian and George Wood.
The midfielder combination formed by these two people is indeed very powerful.
No wonder they have only conceded one goal in the new season so far.
According to statistics, 67% of Nottingham Forest's opponents' attacks were ended in the midfield, which illustrates the problem. Nottingham Forest's midfield defense is indeed their strongest point.
What if you break through Nottingham Forest's defense?
The method given by Chang Sheng is a change in rhythm and a pressing attack.
It means pressing forward heavily and forming a tidal attack.
Even if the attack fails and the opponent steals the ball, Lazio players will immediately follow and counterattack.
Anyway, it is to give the Nottingham Forest players a feeling that Lazio's offense is endless.
This sense of pressure will increase the number of active mistakes made by Forest players.
Mistakes are the main weapon to destroy the Forest team's defense.

At the same time, on the other side, Tony Twain was also cheering for his players in the locker room.
Tactically, he had nothing to say. It was all arranged before the game. No matter what the opponent's tactics were in this game, Nottingham Forest's tactics would not change at all, which was defensive counterattack.
The main thing is that Nottingham Forest can achieve success by adhering to this approach and working hard to achieve the ultimate goal.
This is the belief that Tony Twain instilled in his team.
Although the team's strength is not strong, Nottingham Forest really created a miracle by relying on this mental victory method.
He told his players how difficult it was to allow Lazio to miss any of their fourteen shots in the first half.
"...How many teams can withstand Lazio's fourteen shots this season without conceding a goal? Never, only us! They are a world-class giant, they have won eight goals in the past sixteen years
Champions League champions! But we left them helpless! Who is better than who?"
"Before the game, Chang arrogantly said that they were invincible. If we don't believe it, we can try it. OK, here we are, and they couldn't even score a goal in forty-five minutes! Everyone has already
Now that you’ve experienced it, this is Lazio’s world-famous offense, how about it? Is there any too much pressure?”
"That's it, it goes on. As long as we can continue to keep this clean sheet, then as time goes by, the game format will become more favorable to us. Because this is Lazio's home ground, if they are at home
If even a fourth-tier team like us can't win, then they will be under tremendous pressure! With the eyes of the world watching, they cannot accept the reality of being tied by us, and they will become impatient by then.
...but please note that I am not asking you to beat Lazio at the last moment. Such a chance is slim, don’t even think about it! Maybe their impatience is a trap? My previous analysis makes sense, right? Because I want to
Winning at home will make us impatient in the end and provide us with more opportunities - in this case you all believe it, everyone believes it, because it is common sense. But if we believe it, we will be dead. Remember,
Your opponent is a super strong team, and their head coach is very cunning. We must consider all situations in the penalty area. So even if they are impatient, we must hold on! As long as we hold on, we will be the winner!"

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The entire Nottingham Forest team listened to their leader Tony Twain and continued to defend. No matter how Lazio passed the ball back and forth outside, they just stayed in their own 30-meter area and refused to go out.
There was only one fast forward left in the midfield to interfere with Lazio's ball control in the midfield. No one expected him to intercept the ball and launch an attack directly.
Faced with Nottingham Forest's stubborn defense, Lazio still fell back, playing slowly and unhurriedly in the midfield and backcourt.
But once you approach the thirty-meter area of Nottingham Forest, your pace suddenly speeds up.
Sometimes it's a pure quick transfer, and other times it's a sudden intrusion.
The purpose is to penetrate the "wall defense" of Nottingham Forest.
The first ten minutes of the second half basically followed this rhythm.
Nottingham Forest felt they could handle it at first, and it was no different in the last ten minutes of the first half.
But later, gradually, they realized something was wrong.
Because Lazio's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and their defense is retreating as a whole.
Although it's just a little bit, the feeling is completely different!
You must know that Nottingham Forest's defense is on the 30-meter line.
No team has been able to make their defense retreat even just one meter!
Their defense is very tenacious.
This time, facing Lazio's increasingly fierce offensive, Nottingham Forest actually couldn't stand it any longer! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
