Chris Wood, Nottingham Forest striker

I truly respect this player because it was not easy for him to reach the great position he is in now!

This player is Chris Wood, striker for Nottingham Forest.

Wood has played for 11 English clubs and has been loaned out seven times.

His coach at West Bromwich said he was slow and couldn’t move, and in the end, Leicester City signed him for only £1 million!

Today, Chris Wood is the main striker for Nottingham Forest.

He is 33 years old

and not only that, but he is also their all-time leading scorer in the Premier League with 37 goals!

The cool thing is that Chris Wood scored two goals yesterday in the first league game against Brentford,

making him the only player besides Mohamed Salah to score 30 goals in the English league without penalties since Nuno Santo took over as Nottingham’s coach in 2023!

Chris Wood used to be considered slow and useless, but today he is a successful striker

and a historic goal scorer for his team, competing for the title of top scorer in

the Premier League, the strongest league in the world, for the second year in a row.

On the occasion that his coach said he was slow

Chris Wood proved yesterday that soccer is played with the mind before anything else

In this case, you will find Brentford building up an attack, the pass was long,

and the midfielder ran after the ball, which went far away from him

At that moment, Wood ran into the gap behind Brentford’s defense because they were disorganized.

He was the first to reach the space and let his teammate make a quick decision to pass with one touch so he could go one-on-one at the end and score.

Wood didn’t need to be fast here.

He just needed his mind and awareness to be faster than everyone else so he could get a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and that’s what happened.
