The players on the field understood their head coach's intention and began to play more cautiously, but Cao Baming was not ready to cool down.
In fact, what he had in mind wasn't about how many goals against Chelsea would satisfy him, but at least the progress should be better than Manchester United.
That was his own team, and when they faced an opponent like West Ham United, they scored a 5-0 victory.
Although the ability and technical level of West Ham United could not be compared with Chelsea, at least the score should not be too far behind them.
It was somewhat embarrassing for the owner's team to be outperformed by the team he established.
However, the teammates lowering their offensive tempo was actually a good thing, allowing Baming to focus all his energy on offense.
Although the team configuration might seem a bit disjointed tactically, it didn't matter, as they hadn't even achieved good synergy yet.
If they really wanted to attack, it still had to be on his own.
This was something that the high command of Nottingham Forest had also considered. Strengthening the team's defense didn't necessarily mean abandoning offense, after all, they still had Cao Baming. As long as he was there, no possibility could be extinguished directly.
With the boost from his new Heavenly Skill, even without many attribute point conversions, at least in terms of dribbling, there would be no problem. Even though the opposing defenders were technically skilled, it was useless.
In the 70th minute, Kouyaté intercepted the ball in his own half and launched an attack forward. Stewart received the ball, turned, and took two steps, attempting to dribble past Havertz in front of him.
Even though he was facing a Havertz who wasn't particularly strong defensively, he still failed.
The ball was successfully intercepted by Havertz with a step-ahead tackle, but he couldn't control it and instead cleared it away. He didn't care where it went, as there was no time to think about it.
Well, Baming was actually waiting in the distance, and he seemed to have predicted where the ball would end up.
Cao Baming, who had already accelerated to his full speed, was uncatchable by any normal person, and he was now only 40 meters from the goal!
All the Chelsea players were shocked at this moment, and Havertz even regretted it deeply. He wished he hadn't tackled for the ball and just let him continue dribbling.
Even with all the opportunities in the world, Stewart wouldn't pose as much of a threat as Cao Baming.
His teammate cast a contemptuous glance at him, probably knowing he was going to take the blame, and the fans would definitely curse him by the end of the match.
Havertz sighed, then shifted his gaze back to Cao Baming. However, Cao Baming was clearly out of his defensive range, so he could only watch his teammates ahead and pray they could stop him.
However, such thoughts were ultimately naive. Because by the time he shifted his gaze, Cao Baming had already taken his shot, and the sound only reached his ears afterward!
A muffled thud, and the ball once again flew towards the goal!
A stunning arc appeared before everyone's eyes. Although the ball didn't have as much power as the previous one, it carried an extreme angle and spun towards the goal, its rotational speed even exceeding that of a spinning top.
This time, Kepa knew he couldn't afford to make another mistake! Because he hadn't succeeded once from the start of the game, he hadn't even touched the ball, which was too embarrassing, as if he were non-existent in the goalkeeper's position.
Perhaps due to luck, Kepa's hands successfully held onto the ball this time. Although it wasn't enough to save it, it was enough to alter its trajectory and send it wide of the goal!
The few remaining Chelsea fans at the stadium simultaneously let out thunderous cheers at this moment!
After nearly 70 minutes of the match with no remarkable performance, he finally achieved redemption at this moment. The fans were willing to call him a god!
Kepa! He saved Cao Baming's shot. Although this shot wasn't a cannonball, it was a very beautiful curling ball.
However, just as he was secretly congratulating himself, from an unknown position, Ling Jiade suddenly emerged from the crowd and headed the ball back towards the goal.
In the short span of two seconds, Kepa had no time to react. He was still reveling in his recent joy, only to be slapped in the face so quickly.
The ball still went in, slipping through the gap between his hands into the net! The angle wasn't the best, but the goal was valid!
The fans went wild again. So many thrilling and exciting events had happened in these few seconds.
"Goal valid!! He actually did it!!!"
Ling Jiade was extremely excited. He had finally been a hero for the team! He was so excited he felt like he could fly. Looking at the equally excited faces of his teammates, he instantly felt like he was God!
This feeling was too damn great! Give him a hundred more! No, a thousand more!
Nottingham Forest 4-0 Chelsea. The happiness came too suddenly. The high-ranking officials of Nottingham Forest at the sidelines were completely beside themselves.
Was this really the team they had always known? It looked so unfamiliar, not like them at all!
Chelsea was really going to lose!
The players had persevered until now through sheer willpower. Everyone in the team, from the players on the field to the club executives, had never given up hope, never stopped resisting!
But now? It was already 4-0, and there were only a little over ten minutes left in the match. How could they turn it around? If there was anything impossible in this world, it was the situation before them!
Finally! Many players began to despair. A feeling involuntarily welled up from the depths of their hearts!
Unwilling! How could they lose to Nottingham Forest? They had always been the victors before, whether it was in terms of skill or pure market value, they had crushed them.
If all of this was because of one Cao Baming, then it was even more unacceptable!
The emotions became even more intense. In the remaining time, as everyone had predicted, Chelsea had no more chances.
Finally!
The final whistle blew!
Nottingham Forest defeated Chelsea 4-0!!!
For Nottingham Club, and for everyone within the club, this was a historic victory!!!
