King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 15
Chapter 15 Too hard, I hurt

There is still more than a month before the opening game of the English League Two in the [-]-[-] season. The characteristics, advantages and even minor faults of the Notts County players have been recorded by Guardiola in a small book.

After a few decent team trainings, Notts County's main force framework for the new season has basically been finalized, but who will play the main force and who will rotate in some key positions remains to be discussed.

Notts County have also finalized warm-up matches with several teams. The first friendly match is the match against Sheffield Wednesday at Meadow Lane on July [-]th.

But before that, Notts County still has an exciting game:

On June 26th, the Notts County first team and the Notts County reserve team will usher in the first big test of the new season at the newly painted Meadow Lane Stadium with additional seats.

This is an internal training game open to all Notts County fans for free. Guardiola needs more games to perfect his tactics and inspect players. At the same time, it also allows Notts County fans to see them at home. The long-awaited New Notts County.

Wei Xun really did not expect that the Meadow Lane Stadium, which can accommodate more than [-] people, would be full of seats.

"My dear, this is thanks to the installation of more than 4000 seats, otherwise the fans would have to squeeze in the aisle."

Although there are still many construction workers from Shengfei Group and employees of other local construction companies in the auditorium, even if they are all eliminated, this kind of attendance is still very impressive for a third-tier team in England .

Even Wei Xun Wei Xun can't help but feel confident about the season ticket revenue for the new season.

As the club's assistant coach is still being recruited, the goalkeeper coach Colin needs to stay at the training base to train with Billa and others to watch the young players. Therefore, the Notts County reserve team can only be commanded by assistant coach Wei Xun in this game .

Wei Xun adopted the [-] tactic he adopted in the final game of last season in this game, hoping to save a few goals by relying on the routine of strict defense.

The lineup of the first team was selected by Wei Xun himself. If he wants to beat them, Wei Xun still has self-knowledge, it is absolutely impossible.

The starting lineup for the Notts County reserve team has been arranged by Wei Xun after picking and picking. Wei Xun is very entangled in the selection of generals from among the dwarfs.

Goalkeeper selected Baron Davis;

The defenders are lined up from left to right, namely George Boulder, Harry Bouger, Maurice Taylor, Wright Oakred, Alex House;
Four midfielders, William Parr, George Grant, Anthony Mack, Louis Robinson;
The forward position is still the 1.9-meter-eight high center forward Steve Cornell.

On the first team side, Guardiola's response seemed too calm.

Sufficient staffing allows him to field any lineup he wants.

In the opening stage, Guardiola adopted a three-five-two formation. The goalkeeper was the Spaniard Pepe Reina, and the three central defenders Chiellini, Mertesacker and Barzagli lined up in turn. Go Mota, midfielder Sneijder.

Familiar Robery, left midfielder Ribery, right midfielder Arjen Robben, double forward veteran Dario Hubner partnered with Dutch striker Van Persie.

This lineup is basically the main lineup in Guardiola's mind, but he still has some hesitation between the three backs and the four backs.

As for the three central defenders who were removed before the rotation, it is also a headache and very entangled.

According to Chiellini himself, he has never played a central defender or a full-back before, but Wei Xun told Guardiola that this kid is suitable for playing a defender, especially a central defender.

Wei Xun's poaching vision convinced Guardiola. Therefore, after coming to Notts County, Chiellini has been arranged to play the position of central defender.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, let's use this game to find a solution to the problem.

As the game started, the fans at the scene began to watch the game intently. This was the first time Curtis Jr. had visited the Meadow Lane Stadium for so long.

He really didn't think that since Wei Xun bought the Notts County club, he had invested so much money in signings.

Notts County really seems to be saved!

Curtis, who was sitting next to David, looked extremely excited. He really wanted to know how strong these young players Wei Xun bought back at a big price were!

There is not much difference between them and myself. If one day I am in the same club as them, can I still be the main force.

Only 16 seconds into the opening, Sneijder made a long-range lob shot near the arc of the middle circle. Fortunately, the reserve goalkeeper Baron Davis was more focused and his position was not bad. On the way, he dragged the ball out of the bottom line with difficulty.

This shot is more like a wake-up call to the players of the reserve team.

Although friendship comes first and games come second, the fans are all watching, and the brothers in the first team will not show mercy.

The more games like this, the more exciting and beautiful they are. Today is really not in vain.

In the 201st minute of the game, the experienced veteran Hubner made the little guys of the reserve team suffer, and broke through the gate guarded by Baron Davis with a good close-range shot.

The Notts County first-team took the lead as he single-handed past three reserve defenders before Hubnell fired his shot.

Dutch striker Van Persie was also encouraged by the goals of his predecessors and began to exert his strength frequently.

In the 304th minute of the game, Van Persie's efforts finally paid off. He received an inverted triangle pass from Robben at the front of the small penalty area, outflanked the goal lightly, and rewritten the score on the field to [-]-[-].

The defensive midfielder George Grant, who has already made two league appearances, pulled a goal tenaciously for Notts County Reserves in the No. 405 minute.

His short-range volley shot shocked everyone, and the ball hit the inside of the left post and refracted into the net. Excited, Wei Xun wanted to slide and kneel again.

However, the trousers he was wearing were too tight and he couldn't stretch them out.

But the DJ and fans at the scene would not be stingy with their applause, and the fans in the audience chanted George Grant's name.

Grant was so excited that he kissed the Notts County team emblem excitedly and waved to the fans frequently.

This kid is a native of Notts County. He joined the Notts County youth training camp at the age of eight. The treatment after scoring is really different from others, which makes the players of the first team very envious.

In two minutes, the veteran Hubner used superb shooting skills to expand the lead for the Notts County first team.

Hubner, who received a pass from Sneijder, stopped and took a pass, and completed a precise rubbing shot at the front of the penalty area, helping the team score and scoring his second goal of the game.

The scene where the young players of the reserve team were repeatedly frustrated in front of the old hunters also became a microcosm of this game.

Two minutes later, the teenager Arjen Robben received a pass from Sneijder on the left, cut in with his left foot and passed Morris Taylor's defense, and after finding a gap, he decisively chose to shoot with his foot. A perfect arc was drawn in the sky.

Goalkeeper Baron Davies couldn't catch up and could only watch helplessly as the ball landed in the top right corner of the goal.

Four to one, the Dutchman Sneijder, who made his debut for the Notts County fans for the first time, completed a hat-trick of assists.

For the reserve team, high center forward Steve Cornell, whom Wei Xun had placed high hopes on, finally let go.

He pulled a goal back for Notts County reserve team in the 9th minute. George Grant's cross gave Cornell a chance to beat Barzagli who defended him and scored with a header. The difference between the two teams came again. two goals.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Wei Xun hadn't been comfortable sitting on the coach's bench for a while, but the first team gave him a black tiger.

Veteran hunter Hubner caught midfielder Louis Robinson's error and made a steal near the penalty area line.

Leng Leng goalkeeper Baron Davis did not attack in time, and was easily pushed by Hubner to score from the far corner.

Dario Hubner, who never grows old, showed off his superb skills in front of more than 2 Notts County fans, five to two, hat-trick!

Subsequently, Guardiola took down Hubner, who had already been capped, and the central defender Barzagli who satisfied him, replaced Lahm and Lichtsteiner, and changed to a [-] formation.

Hubner's strength has been completely recognized by Guardiola. He is the first player in the Notts County first team to lock in the main position.

Chiellini's handling of the ball in this game was still a little immature. After taking the ball, he always thought of passing the ball instead of passing it to the midfield core or the full-back, and made several unnecessary mistakes.

Guardiola feels that Chiellini's state needs to be tested through more games, and Barzagli has already been able to beat Chiellini to get the chance to start.

On the other hand, Guardiola is also secretly pleased with the potential that Chiellini has shown. This will be an interesting central defender rotation trio.

"Fuck..."

Wei Xun, who was still behind by a large margin after resorting to his unique trick of 45-degree explosion, kept shaking his head.

The crosses of this group of young players are really crooked. Could it be that the former youth training coaches in Notts County can't even teach this well?

Steve Cornell's height has the advantage, but his ability to seize opportunities is really not flattering.

In this game, Cornell hit the ball eleven times in the penalty area, which is quite a number, but he only hit the target three times and scored one goal.

Wei Xun looked back at the empty bench, wishing to ask Guardiola to borrow a few players to play and catch up with the score.

However, it is hard for a good woman to cook without rice, there is really no one to replace, even if Wei Xun shouted hoarse, the team can't turn around, this time it is really shooting itself in the foot.

No.709 minutes, the reserve team player Louis Robinson drove a corner kick from the left to the front point, and the high center forward Cornell jumped high in the penalty area, and a powerful header hit the crossbar. The Spanish goalkeeper Pepe Reina also broke out in a cold sweat:

"Damn, if Steve's ball goes down a few centimeters, it should go in, right?"

Afterwards, the two sides came and went, the fight was very lively, and the fans at the scene were also very happy to watch.

The fast pace is often accompanied by a high turnover rate. In the remaining time, neither team was able to score again.

Nine and 10 minutes of the game ended, [-] to [-], the first show of the Notts County first team at Meadow Lane Stadium can be said to be almost perfect.

After the game, [-] lucky Notts County diehard fans got the opportunity to take turns taking photos with the players. They excitedly took photos with the handsome players on the field, fearing that they would never have such an opportunity next time .

The Notts County players can only wait for the fans to come to them one by one on the field, and then meet the fans' various wonderful requirements, especially the young female fans, who prefer the new Notts County players Plus.

So much so that in the shower room of the team locker room, there were only three old bacons left, Dario Hubner, Guardiola, and Wei Xun, cuddling each other, rubbing their backs, chatting, and recuperating.

"Hey, the world is really declining. How can those boys be so popular? Am I not handsome?"

Wei Xun couldn't help being a little sad, and couldn't help sighing.

"Oh... my God, Dario, can you be lighter, it's too hard, I hurt..."
