The situation was deadlocked for a while.
Until the end of the first half, Nottingham Forest failed to break Lazio’s goal.
Of course, all the Lazio players are wearing colorful jerseys-they are all rolling around on the ground and look very embarrassed.
But no matter how embarrassed they are, for Lazio players, they can leave the stadium with their heads held high.
Because they didn’t concede a goal under extremely unfavorable circumstances!
What’s this mess for?
Isn’t it just to keep the ball?
Now, their goal is half finished. In the second half, as long as they keep defending like this and don’t concede a goal, they will win!
Yes, facing so many unfavorable conditions away from home, even a draw is a victory for Lazio!
……
In fact, when they walked off the pitch, the Lazio players really looked very energetic, and they were not tired of being beaten by Nottingham Forest for 45 minutes.
On the contrary, the players at Nottingham Forest looked a little … at a loss at the end of the first half.
Yes, it is vacant.
When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the TV broadcast gave a lot of close-ups to Nottingham Forest players.
The players in Nottingham Forest in the close-up are all confused. Their mouths are open and their eyes are out of focus.
If you look at this scene alone, people will think that Nottingham Forest is the backward side, and the visiting team Lazio has taken the lead early …
English commentators are also very dissatisfied with this result.
"In the first half, we almost dominated, but we failed to score a goal! We have three excellent opportunities right in front of the door! And the result? One time, we let our own players squander it meaningless, and two times, it was solved by the brave Ter stegen … I don’t think this performance is satisfactory. There is a popular saying in football circles that’ wasting opportunities will be punished’. So many opportunities, Nottingham Forest didn’t seize any, so what will happen in the second half? That’s really hard to say … "
In addition to English commentators, commentators from other countries also think that Nottingham Forest had too many chances in the first half, but it was a pity that it didn’t catch one.
The Italian commentator was very excited.
"The first half is over! 0：0！ Lazio kept the goal clean under extremely unfavorable circumstances! This is great! Lazio showed us their resilience in this game! People may have forgotten that Lazio holds the record of the least goals conceded in a single season in Europe! On defense, I think they are not afraid of any team! "
When Lazio went to Nottingham, they all thought that Lazio would definitely beat Nottingham Forest. It’s hard to say how many goals they won, because they have seen the defense of Nottingham Forest. Even Lazio tried its best to score only one goal, and it’s even harder to score more goals.
But in any case, you can always win.
Who would have thought that after coming to Nottingham, before the game started, Lazio players were injured in the warm-up, which cast a shadow over Lazio’s prospects for this game.
What happened next made Italian commentators dare not expect Lazio to win, and even began to worry that Lazio would lose a few goals away …
Although Nottingham Forest is the biggest dark horse in this group, the other two teams were tied by them, but they didn’t lose to them. Is Nottingham Forest going to be the first strong team to lose to Nottingham Forest?
All kinds of dangers in the game also made the commentator always in a state of high tension. He was afraid that the next attack in Nottingham Forest would lead to Lazio losing the ball, or the football rebounded on the uneven turf, so he bypassed the goalkeeper Ter stegen and flew into Lazio’s goal …
Unexpectedly, Lazio didn’t concede a goal under such extremely unfavorable circumstances!
This excited the Italian commentator.
……
Lazio players and Italian commentators were satisfied with the result in the first half, but Tony Dunn didn’t think so.
His ideal situation is that in the first half, Nottingham Forest will completely end the suspense of this game and make Lazio completely lose its fighting spirit.
But who would have thought that Lazio was so tenacious, but the defense was very steady, which ensured that their goal was not lost!
This made Tony Twain very unhappy.
He thinks there is nothing wrong with the morale of the players and his tactics.
But he underestimated Lazio’s tenacity.
In the unfavorable situation, Lazio solved this problem with very concise defensive actions, and tried to minimize the possibility of risk.
And in this game, Lazio’s main goalkeeper, German No.1 goalkeeper Ter stegen, played very well, trying to keep the goal clean.
Tony Twain counted a lot of things, but he didn’t count the performance of Lazio players.
When Lazio was warming up, the main players were injured, which made Tony Twain feel that the victory was in the bag, because this accident will definitely bring a big impact to Lazio players and make them more timid in the game.
This will help Nottingham Forest seize the initiative and even score goals.
What else can Nottingham Forest do in this situation?
