From the beginning of the game, everyone was discussing Baker Alfred, fans, reporters, Nottingham Forest, etc. Everyone was waiting for Alfred to make a mistake and wait for Nottingham Forest to use his mistake to score the ball. It was like a natural thing and something would definitely happen.

I just thought that many commentators said, "It's just a matter of time."

But twenty minutes passed, and Alfred was still very stable. Although he looked embarrassed, he thought that he had been fighting with the other party and fell to the ground many times. It was understandable that he was a little embarrassed.

The key is that he still stands.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

The game has been going on for half an hour, and the score on the field is still 0:0. Now the fans in the audience have forgotten what they are waiting for, but cheer for Alfred. Every time Alfred's successful defense can cheer, as if he is not a rookie, but a star.

The same was true for the commentators, "Look! It's Alfred again!", and they repeated this sentence more than once, twice.

Alfred is already in the water on the field now.

With his stable and excellent defense, more fans turned to support him from thinking about when he made a mistake.

"He... did a really good job." Diamares couldn't help but be surprised.

Diamares was not optimistic about Alfred's starting lineup at all. In his opinion, this was Wan Sheng playing with fire, but what he didn't expect was that Alfred's performance was getting better and better. Now he could no longer see that he was a rookie. He adapted quickly in the game.

At this level of starting a game, it will definitely be under a lot of pressure for young players who play for the first time.

But under such great pressure, Alfred's performance was very good!

Better and better!

Most players need to accumulate experience to grow slowly and adapt to the professional league, but Baker Alfred on the court seems to be born with the ability to adapt quickly.

Should he be called...genius?

Diamares stared at the team's penalty area with a surprised face, but his heart was complicated. He once fiercely opposed Alfred's appearance, but Wan Sheng refused to accept it at all and ignored his suggestions.

But the facts now tell him that Wansheng is the right one.

Alfred did it. At least in these thirty minutes, he completely resisted the impact of Nottingham Forest. He performed stably, used various abilities to stabilize the team's defense, and withstanded the opponent's attack again and again.

On the field, it is obvious that Alfred's performance is becoming more and more stable.

He grew up too fast.

Now most of the time he can make the best judgment on how to defend, it gives people the feeling of being a veteran who has experienced many battles, but this is amazing - why can Wansheng be sure that he can do it?

Why can't you judge it yourself?

Is this luck?

Diamares didn't understand at all. He didn't know how many times he was surprised. Since he became Wan Sheng's deputy, he has been dissatisfied, but it has always seemed that no matter what, Wan Sheng's choice was correct, and his judgment was always biased.

He was surprised every time, and Wan Sheng performed for granted.

Just like now.

Diamares turned his head and saw the smiling face of the approaching Chinese coach - from the beginning of the game, it seemed that his expression had not changed, just as if he knew Alfred would perform well at the beginning of the game.

Diamares knew that if he were the current Wansheng, he would definitely be very excited and would never be so indifferent.

...

On the court.

Team captain Marcus and Alfred are central defenders. At the beginning of the game, he kept thinking about how to support the opponent. A young player will definitely make mistakes in the face of such pressure. He is ready to support at any time to prevent the young man from being easily defeated by the opponent.

This is Marcus's idea.

But he hasn't really supported him until now, because that's not needed at all. Instead, because of distraction, he will face a crisis on his own defense.

Marcus smiled bitterly in his heart.

His partner was Nico Herzger before. He didn't like Herzger, but he had to admit that Herzger was good and better than himself. Now when he replaced Alfred, he thought he had finally become the most important player in the defense, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

There is no confidence in defense, so Marcus can only play the 'confidence' of being the captain of the team. "Everyone pays attention to defense! Don't let Baker run around! He is less than 20 years old, are you so embarrassed?"

Alfred smiled at the captain's words, and knew that his performance was recognized.

...

"Baker Alfred's performance is amazing!"

"It was his first appearance for Derby County. He started the first time he played, which was a pressure on any young man. But after thirty minutes of the game, he did not make any big mistakes, and his defense was very stable!" Lyle Woodgate kept saying, constantly praising Alfred's defense, completely forgetting how he evaluated Alfred before.

If fans who don't know the situation will definitely be very puzzled to hear the complete change in Woodgate's rating of a player in ten minutes.

Is this really a professional football commentary?

But fans who know the situation can understand it because their mentality has also undergone a complete change.

Now Lyle Woodgate can only praise Alfred, "He performed so well! It's hard for me to imagine! This is his first game, I didn't expect to perform so well. I seemed to see the rapid rise of a defender star! In front of this rising star, Nottingham Forest's offense is not worth mentioning!"

"They want to find opportunities in young Alfred, the biggest mistake."

"Look at the performance of Baker Alfred during this period!"

"He relies on his position and prediction, as well as his constant running defense, has destroyed the opponent's offenses countless times! He can always appear in places that make Nottingham Forest players uncomfortable, always defend the impact of Nottingham Forest, and always destroy the dangerous ball that Nottingham Forest wanted to create at the first time..."

If Nottingham Forest players were allowed to hear Lyle Woodgate's words, they would definitely be very angry.

In Woodgate's words, they became completely supporting roles, while Alfred became a hero, with a tone of a bit of a 'Alfred waved his sleeves, and the attack of Nottingham Forest collapsed'.

But they are already very sad now.

They did not break through the Derby County goal for 30 minutes in a row, especially in the last ten minutes, they did not even have a decent shot opportunity, which made them unable to see hope for a goal and their confidence was also being eroded.

One round of energy will fade and then decay and then exhaust.

Thirty minutes passed, and Nottingham Forest's attack seemed quite imposing, but its true inner strength had been reduced a lot without realizing it.

Nottingham Forest players are very depressed.

The player they have no confidence is Alfred. Before the game started, head coach Hart repeatedly emphasized the need to look for opportunities in Alfred's position. They also attacked with the mentality of "bullying rookies". What's the result?

There are noobs, but they are bullied...

Thirty minutes of offense failed to defeat the rookie, but his defense became more and more sophisticated. Nottingham Forest players found that it was really not easy to find opportunities for this rookie. Perhaps their coach, Mr. Hart, made a mistake.

This is a rookie, and a powerful rookie.

They are unwilling to give up.

Many people still want to find opportunities in Alfred. In their eyes, Alfred is still a rookie. Losing to a rookie in the professional arena is really a great insult, so the overall offense of Nottingham Forest seems much more anxious.

Such an attack seems fierce, but in fact it is out of order, and it is even more difficult to break through the gates of Derby County.

Then they pressed further forward without realizing it.

Few players realize that their backcourt actually has a big crisis, and pressing too far makes them feel sad in the backcourt, and there is a lot of gaps.

...

Pope Ziller is definitely the most depressing player in Nottingham Forest.

He is the striker of Nottingham Forest.

He happened to face Alfred, and he almost had to face Alfred every attack. From the beginning to now, he has been the player with the most confrontation with Alfred in Nottingham Forest. Originally, what he thought was to rely on his own breakthrough to find good opportunities. The ideal breakthrough target was Alfred.

Just a noob.

He thought so and did the same. Then his breakthrough was cut off by Alfred three times... Thirty minutes, three times were intercepted, which means that he wasted the team's three offensive opportunities alone, which was equivalent to handing the ball over to Derby County three times. If there was a score later on the game, he would definitely be the player with the lowest score in Nottingham Forest, because he wasted the most opportunities and had not played much in the face of a rookie.

Pope-Ziler was quite dissatisfied. He was the kind of person who didn't like to accept failure. He wanted to try again if he failed once, until he succeeded, but success has not come yet. This time he still wanted to make a breakthrough and try it out when facing Alfred.

He just has to go all the way to the end until he succeeds.

When the football reached his feet, he saw the tall black rookie of the opponent coming again, and his teammates were also waving to him, but when Pop Ziller saw the gap behind the opponent, he wanted to go there again.

This time you must succeed!

Pope-Ziler gritted his teeth and kept moving his feet, trying to force a breakthrough by shaking, but the moment he drove the ball to the left, he felt a force coming from the ball.

Without looking, he knew that he had been intercepted.

He staggered and almost fell to the ground, and then he saw that the football had reached the feet of the tall black rookie. He held his head in pain, but could only watch the opponent pass the ball out.

The football reached Vicente's feet.

Vicente is a veteran of the team. Since Wan Sheng took over the team, he has been playing as a midfielder and is also the core of the team's offensive and defensive transformation. He is a veteran with rich game experience, which allows him to know when to do what.

What the team has to do now is to fight back.

After receiving the pass, Vicente glanced forward and immediately kicked the ball forward. The ball flew more than 30 meters to the feet of Ian Taylor.

Offensive and defensive, Derby County launched a counterattack!

In the first half of Nottingham Forest, Burton Reit and Lee Morris ran forward quickly, and Ian Taylor behind him was also driving forward.

These three are the tips of Derbyshire's counterattack.

In the 4321 formation, Borton Reit is the only forward, while Ian Taylor and Lee Morris form a central-vanguard combination. Now that the counterattack situation is formed, all three of them cross the center line as soon as possible.

At this time, all the three of them showed their speed.

Ian Taylor's speed is not slow at all. Even if he dribbles, he can start up with a normal running speed than ordinary players, and even slightly faster.
