527 The Charge of The War Chariot

After the second half began, Chelsea took advantage of their kickoff to launch a fierce offensive against the Forest team. Mourinho's intention was clear — to not relax the pressure against the Forest team's rear defensive line, not to give the Forest team a decent chance to counterattack, and to keep the pace of the game firmly in their own hands.

If he had been allowed to do so, the Forest team would have suffered greatly. Twain had never doubted that if they played under pressure from Chelsea, they would concede another goal.

In order not to let Chelsea attack them recklessly, they had to bring some trouble to their rear defensive line as well.

They had to counterattack.

That was the Forest team's direction and thinking for the second half. No matter how bad the situation was, they had to find a way to fight back.
