King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 189 Fan meeting?
Chapter 189 Fan meeting?

I don't know if the English media are going to let Notts County go, or they are holding back something bigger. Anyway, the fight between Notts County players disappeared quickly, and no one was there. Talking about it, I didn't see any in-depth reports from the media.

The Notts County Club did send a PR, but the actual effect should not be so good.After all, there is no news at all, which still makes people suspicious.

Wei Xun didn't think that these English media people were good men and women. If you trust them, you will be finished. Therefore, he has been very careful and careful, and he also hired Nottingham's famous private detective team to help him grasp the information.

On November 1883th, Notts County ushered in the FA Cup match that they were inspired to win. Their opponent in the first round was the poor newly promoted Darlington [-].

Notts County is number one in League One, while Darlington 1883 is number one in League Two. Even though they are only one level behind, this is actually the gap between the Premier League and the National League teams. The deep trench of the Passover.

According to past practice, Notts County will arrange a lot of young players to train in this game, but this time, Notts County did not. This is not an inspirational team to win the championship, and the opponent should be respected.

Therefore, Notts County has sent all the main players who can be played. Except for Curtis Jr. who replaced Abelardo, the other positions are regular starters.

The Darlington 1883 people are very excited. For them, the Notts County players are big stars. Aren’t there also international footballers from Germany and Switzerland, which is amazing.

When the players of both sides were training on the field before the game, some players of Darlington 1883 had already started chatting and taking photos with the players of Notts County. After all, there was really no suspense in this game.

There was excitement and sadness, such as Notts County's German centre-back Mertesacker, who suffered a thigh contusion in training before the game.

According to Zhang Qingsong and Georgia, Mertesacker needs to miss at least one week of competitions. He will definitely not be able to go to the NO.14 and NO.19 international competitions this month.

When Mertesacker was carried on a stretcher, his eyes were filled with tears of disappointment. He had heard of the bad things like blocking injections that allow players to continue playing, but he still chose to give up. He is still young and still has a chance. It's not worth betting your career...

Mertesacker's injury also reminded Notts County players that the field at Darlington 1883's home court is not flat and there are pits, so be careful not to fall.

Eric Tynhag is also reminding the players not to use too much force during the game, or they may hurt themselves.

Nevertheless, the tragedy happened again. In the 5th minute of the game, the Italian midfielder Montolivo had to accept the treatment of the team doctor because of a high-speed attack and pinned his right foot to the end.

Subsequently, the chief team doctor Georgia explained to Guardiola that Montolivo could not persist in the game, and the Italian was replaced by Thiago Motta.

I really hope that this injury will not affect Montolivo's participation in the international competition of the Italian youth team. Otherwise, it should be very difficult for Montolivo to participate in the international competition next time.

You were recruited twice, and both times you were injured before the game. It was embarrassing whoever used it.

Perhaps it was the injuries of Mertesacker and Montolivo that caused the Notts County players to slow down their original offensive rhythm slightly. Got some opportunities.

In the 8th minute, Darlington 1883's backcourt free kick was directly thrown into the penalty area, and the ball was easily obtained by Notts County goalkeeper Perizzoli.

Pellizzoli threw the ball vigorously to the left-back Lahm who was attacking forward. Felipe Lahm dribbled the ball from the left and continued to break through without encountering any resistance. He went all the way to the penalty area and took a shot. The Darlington goalkeeper pounced, and the defender rushed up to make a clearance.

In the No.14 minute of the game, Thiago Motta sent the ball over the top from the backcourt, and Van Persie made a fancy shot and shot the ball directly.

It can only be said that the Notts County players are still too relaxed today. They dare to play tricks when they must score a goal. Normally, Van Persie may have to be replaced.

Two minutes later, Van Persie completed a cross from the left. Franck Ribery's header in the penalty area was too weak and was saved by the Darlington goalkeeper.

This opportunity is indeed a good one, but it is a pity that Ribery did not score. What is annoying is that this guy is still clapping his hands and giggling.

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity..."

"Frank, hurry back to defense! Back to defense! Stop shaking your head and sighing!"

Guardiola couldn't help shouting loudly from the sidelines, Ribery, boy, hey, it's too worrying.

"Ah... oops... I'm sorry coach..."

Ribery scratched his head in embarrassment and had to run back quickly.

Darlington 1883 really took advantage of this opportunity and played a fast break. Maxson made a pass from the left, and the big center forward's header from the middle of the penalty area missed the goal.

There were only three passes in the entire offense, and they advanced into the Notts County penalty area in a flash. Thanks to Carvalho's superior skills, otherwise it would be hard to say.

As for little Curtis, it's hard to predict the result of expecting him to stand up to such a big man.

No. In 203 minutes, Arjen Robben broke through with the ball and was violated by the Darlington defender. Notts County won a free kick in the frontcourt.

"sorry Sorry……"

The Darlington defender has been apologizing to Robben, which is also a microcosm of the game. So far, the confrontation between the two sides has been very civilized, and there have been no violent fouls. The game has been very smooth and harmonious.

The Spaniard Iniesta personally took the free kick. After Darlington's five-man wall blocked a curved kick, the ball flew into the net against the post.

Darlington's home fans even gave a uniform applause, as if Notts County was not playing away, but Meadow Lane.

No. In 206 minutes, Felipe Lahm made a steal in midfield and sent it to the frontcourt. Van Persie did not pause after taking the ball, and directly distributed the ball to the left.

Franck Ribery glanced at the direct cross, and Sneijder, who advanced forward, got a chance to face the goalkeeper in the penalty area.

No.309 minutes, Darlington's front midfielder missed a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the big center who was about to make a supplementary shot in the middle failed to grab the second spot because his movement speed was too slow.

One minute later, Van Persie sent a cross near the bottom line on the left, Darlington's goalkeeper pounced, and Robben's shot from a small angle was blocked by the goalkeeper again.

In the final stage of stoppage time in the first half, Franck Ribery steals the ball in the frontcourt and sends a wide range transfer. Arjen Robben on the right drives the ball into the penalty area and calmly lobs the goal. The first half ends , Notts County was able to return to the locker room with a two-goal advantage.

After the start of the second half, Sneijder was intercepted by Darlington's midfielder during the return process. The latter took the ball forward and took a long shot. Because the distance was too far, the ball was easily caught by Pellizzoli. pressed down.

In 4 minutes, Darlington's 1883 free kick passed into the penalty area. The player behind the point picked a pass in front of the goal. Ram.

After getting the ball, Lahm dribbled the ball quickly to the left side of the front court, and made a direct pass at 45 degrees. Van Persie headed back and made it back. Sneijder bent his bow and set an arrow outside the penalty area. !

No.704 minutes, Sneijder took a free kick on the right, and Iniesta's header was bravely lifted off the crossbar by Darlington's goalkeeper.

In the subsequent corner kick attack, Iniesta's corner kick was directly thrown back. Because the ball was too fast and had a strong rotation, Darlington's goalkeeper dragged the ball and scored an own goal for the original Notts County. A big gift was given.

There was no suspense in the game. Both sides directly used up their three substitutions, and the game entered a more friendly rhythm.

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Darlington's players began to chase the Notts County players to seek the possibility of exchanging jerseys.

Even the jerseys of Hubner, Abelardo, and Guardiola, who sat on the bench and did not play, were replaced.

Even the old goalkeeper Sasha has gained a little fan, this Darlington even has a young goalkeeper from Yugoslavia.

Sasha very generously gave the boy his jersey and gloves, and also signed his name on the national team jersey with his name on it.

Perhaps, the first round of the FA Cup is more like a fan meeting for both sides?
