章 574: Good Beginning

The two teams switched sides to play again in the second half. Beckham was closely marked by Everton. Moyes saw that Twain wanted to use Beckham to launch a direct and rapid precision strike. Setting an offside trap was feasible, but the risk was too great. There had to be another layer of precaution.

Therefore, they stepped up their defense against Beckham.

Fortunately, Twain also made adjustments during the halftime interval. Beckham's passes were no longer the only means of attack by the Forest team. Since the opponent wanted to set an offside trap, then the team would strengthen the coordination of the straight passes in front of the opponent's rear defensive line. They were made up of short passes which van der Vaart could complete. However, Twain was happy that Moyes put his defensive focus on Beckham.
