So far, Gravesen had not caused any trouble for the Forest team's offense in this game .
Of course, Gravesen's lack of action also had to do with the Forest team's insufficient offense for the first half .
It was different now . The Forest team's high pressing gave Real Madrid a headache . The star players' mistakes gradually began to increase . The consequence of frequent loss of the ball was that the Forest team got more offensive opportunities . Real Madrid's tattered defensive line was going to face a real test!
Anelka was one of the most active players in the Forest team's offensive lineup . After he had scored a goal, he wanted to score more . The perfect ending would be a hat-trick from him, and then for Nottingham Forest to beat Real Madrid . It would be a complete revenge on both personal and team levels .
Albertini passed the football to Ribéry, who then dribbled it for two steps before realizing that Real Madrid's defense was not so easy to break through . He passed the ball to Anelka .
Whenever the Frenchman received the ball, the Bernabéu stadium would ring out with a deafening hiss .
Nevertheless, Anelka was not affected at all . He was not afraid of that . Instead, he used the hissing as his motivation . The more the opponent's fans booed, the more energetic he became .
Twain understood Anelka's frame of mind, so he let Anelka start the game as an attacking core .
The player who came to defend Anelka this time was an opponent he had encountered many times previously in the Premier League: Gravesen .
He deftly skirted past the clumsy Dane . Slower by half a beat, Gravesen had to reach out and pull him down .
It was a free kick in the front field .
Albertini, who took the free kick, did not directly shoot to the goal . Instead, he passed the ball to Ashley Young on the flank .
Roberto Carlos cut across in front of Ashley Young . The youthful Young did not retreat but competed with the star footballer in speed on the flank . The final result was no win and no loss . He did not break through the Brazilian fullback, but he also compelled a corner kick . Carlos kicked the ball out of the end line with a quick tackle .
"The Forest team was on the offensive . They were repeatedly awarded the positioning balls in Real Madrid's backfield . For the visiting Nottingham Forest team at Bernabéu, the positioning of the ball is their chance . I don't think Manager Twain will be content to draw in this match with Real Madrid . He's not that kind of person . "
The British commentator from ESPN remarked on that . He was right .
The British commentator from ESPN remarked on that . He was right .
Bale kicked the ball out and Piqué headed the ball in the crowd . But his shot to the goal was saved by Casillas .
As a player from the Barcelona youth team, Piqué would have a special motivation in playing against Real Madrid .
When he saw Casillas hold the ball, Piqué and Pepe immediately turned and ran back . This was how the ball was lost in the first half . They did not want a repeat .
The more experienced Albertini actively chose to get close to Casillas, who had the ball and was looking around . Intentionally or not, he hung around by his side .
As expected, Casillas noticed Albertini move . He clamped the ball and waved helplessly with his other hand . Albertini faced toward him and slowly withdrew from the penalty area . He did not take any further action, so the referee could not say anything . However, he could delay Casillas' kickoff to buy some time for his teammates falling back to defend .
That was very effective . Casillas gave up his intention of throwing the ball by hand for a fast attack . He waited for everyone to move ahead before he kicked the ball hard towards the front field .
Real Madrid's front field players were not good at fighting for headers, so long balls were not really suitable for Real Madrid's offense . Just as expected, Pepe headed the ball back as he returned to his position to defend .
Real Madrid's offense still needed to be closer to the ground . The aerial contest was not their strength . Or since the departure of Fernando Morientes, the aerial zone in the opponents' penalty area was not an area they could make use of .

The football was passed to Zidane's feet .
In the first round of competition between the two teams, Beckham was the most active player and was voted the best in the game after the match . Beckham petered out in today's game . Instead, Zidane suddenly broke out, which many people had not expected before the game .
Everyone thought Zidane was old and in a slump alongside Real Madrid's downturn . Since his exit from the French national team, it could be seen that Zidane was actually tired of football .
He had almost obtained all the honors that a professional player could have . What motivation could he have to continue playing? Now the team was so messy within and the locker room was factional . If playing had become so tiresome, it was better not to play .
But if someone looked down on him, that person must pay the price .
As he watched Zidane confidently dribble on the field, Twain suddenly recalled the legendary French number 10's curtain-call performance during the World Cup in Germany .
From the first game, people had talked about Zidane's curtain call . Which game would be his farewell game? They did not expect him to do his curtain call all the way to the final . The World Cup final became the stage for his farewell performance . It was truly a magnificent stage .
When Zidane took the ball, the Bernabéu stadium broke out into huge cheers . The Real Madrid fans revered everything artistic . Zidane was the artistic master on the field . The welcome he received here was no less than the team's headliner, Raúl González .

The player who was welcomed by the enemy was naturally a bigger enemy . George Wood's eyes blazed when he looked at Zidane now . He could not forget the loss of that ball . He thought it was the consequence of his hesitation and wanted to make up for that misstep . How was he going to make up for it? He was not going to hesitate anymore!
The referee's whistle sounded . Zidane sat on the ground, while George Wood stood beside him . It was a foul .
When he heard the whistle, Twain was nervous . He was afraid that the referee was going to give a yellow card to the hot-headed boy . They would be finished .
The cheers at Bernabéu instantly turned to boos . They put pressure on the referee in hopes that the referee would show a yellow card .
The referee did not do anything . He stood at the spot where the foul was committed and raised his hand to motion for a Real Madrid player to take the free kick . He did not say anything to Wood .
Wood went back to his defensive position with a sullen expression . But Twain could not sit on it any longer .
He called Mikel Arteta from the substitutes' bench . "Mikel, go do your warm up!"
Kerslake glanced up at him .
