章節 421: The Price of Defense Part 1

Martins' shot did not lead to a goal. The Meazza fans in the stands might still be shaking their heads, but Mancini already saw hope because Nottingham Forest's impenetrable defenses finally had a loophole.

Furthermore, the attack sent a positive signal to the Inter Milan players: if they closely marked Albertini, both Nottingham Forest's offense and defense would fall into chaos.
