Even the commentator could see how well Eastwood played. How could Sporting Lisbon's manager, Peseiro, not see it? He got up from the technical area, walked to the sidelines, and urgently whistled twice.
Upon hearing his whistle, the other Sporting Lisbon players had little reaction. Only the defensive midfielder, Fábio Rochemback, turned his head to the sidelines. It appeared that the whistle was specifically meant to be heard by him.
Peseiro pointed at Eastwood, who had withdrawn to support the midfield. Rochemback nodded. He knew what he had to do. It was exactly what he wanted to do.
The manager had asked him to closely mark the most active player on the Forest team.
