Chapter 295

Chapter 295 The Paper-Based Defense
In the match against Southampton, Notts County was full of firepower and quickly opened up the situation. In the third, seventh, No.12, and 9th and [-]th minutes of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier De Robba and Harrison Reid added four goals, with the Portuguese scoring twice and providing an assist.

Although Notts County did not score a goal in the remaining 25 minutes of the first half, they scored four goals in just 10 minutes, which is enough to ensure that Notts County has a great advantage on the scene.

Therefore, during the intermission, Guardiola did not make too many demands on the players, and his calm tone made the players feel like it was Chinese New Year.

Franck Ribery, who has just entered the 18-man roster, blatantly played riotous music in the locker room, and swayed wildly in the locker room following the rhythm of the music.

In the locker room, there began to be an imperceptible atmosphere. Guardiola frowned slightly, thoughtful, but couldn't explain why.

I don't know what kind of arrangement Southampton made at halftime. In short, Notts County suffered a blow at the beginning of the second half:
Anthony Aiert tackled Saints forward Delgado inside the penalty area for a red-dot package.

Under the prayers of the Saints fans, the Colombian made it in one fell swoop and scored a goal for the Saints. Obviously, this is not the focus of Paul Hart.

If the gap between the two teams is three goals, and there is half time left, you should play one more player. In such a situation, if the head coach of the team has no idea, then it is better to resign quickly and go home to pick up the children.

Paul Hart is indeed a thoughtful head coach. He decisively replaced two forwards and aimed at Notts County to bombard the restricted area. Of course, the effect is also very obvious:
Southampton scored two goals in the No.60 and No.804 minutes of the game, tying the score to three to four, only one goal away from tying the score!
"Saint! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."

Almost all Saints fans joined in the clamor, and it didn't seem so far away from witnessing a great draw, probably only a few minutes away.

"attack!"

"another one!"

Such shouts are endless, causing great psychological pressure on the Notts County players. Guardiola has replaced Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo at this time, and replaced them with George Grant and Mertesacker. defense.

Notts County only left Sneijder and Drogba in the frontcourt. In the final moments of the game, as long as Notts County made no mistakes, at least they could get out unscathed.

Yes, get out of the way.

The Spaniard did not expect that his disciples would play a completely different defense in the second half than in the first half, and it could even be said that they had no defense at all.

If it weren't for the height advantage of goalkeeper Aaron and his excellent form today, Southampton may have overturned the score for Notts County so far in this game.

"Come down, play slower!"

Guardiola shouted hoarsely from the sidelines. The panic of the Notts County players can be seen. Their movements are not smooth, and the pass error rate is also rising.

At this time, it is obviously more conducive to Notts County to control the game by regaining control of the ball at their feet and playing some short passes.

Abelardo tried to control the ball possession situation in the backcourt, but he was somewhat powerless.

"Experience!"

Guardiola shook his head helplessly, he was injured with a lot of experience, so hold on first, if not, Dong Chuang must buy someone.

Southampton must not allow Notts County to regain control of the game rhythm. They not only strengthened the pressure on Notts County's ball-handlers, but also tried to play more easily in offense. After all, staying Time is running out for them.

After all, God is still partial to Notts County.Southampton's full attack also left a huge space behind them. Dani Alves, who returned from La Liga, is a fake defender. He is a Brazilian with very strong offensive attributes. He kicked 35 meters away. The operation that seemed to be passed and shot, with the cooperation of Drogba, drifted into the far corner of the goal by accident.

Five to three!
In 2 minutes, two goals short, according to Notts County's time-delaying efforts, the Southampton people have no way to recover.

This offensive battle finally ended with Notts County's victory. The Notts County players who relied on Alves' fairy ball to win walked into the locker room with a sigh of relief. What greeted them was the face of the head coach Guardiola. and powerful words:

"Sit down! Sit down for me quickly and keep quiet!"

Eric Tynhag, who was the last to enter the door, closed the door gently, and consciously waited outside the locker room door.

British reporters are everywhere. He doesn't want anyone to come in and secretly take pictures of Guardiola's arrangement or lecture content today. This will definitely have a very bad impact on Notts County and Guardiola.

Taking words out of context is their usual routine!

"What is our tactic?"

"Pass, pass, pass, keep passing the ball to find space, and then let you get easy shots! You did a very good job in the first two 10 minutes of the game, at least I think so.

Danny's pass success rate today is good, and the success rate of crosses from the side is also the highest in the game, 50.00%. Seven, and the most crucial goal; Well done, Cristiano scored both goals beautifully and Aaron made [-] saves today! "

Every time Guardiola finished talking about the contribution of a player, he would applaud the player's performance vigorously. This is his style.

Gua Shuai has said so much, and everyone knows what the ultimate goal is.And Anthony Aiert was very brave enough to stand up and admit his mistake:
"Coach, I'm sorry, it was my mistake that put the team under tremendous pressure. I am willing to accept all punishments from the club..."

This poor Nottingham kid, with his head down, let the team's goalkeeper coach Colin hold him in his arms, tears were about to fall out.

Let’s not talk about the red card and suspension. There may be other penalty calls within the club. The most important thing is that his pass success rate today is too low. The red card was also caused by his own pass error. Had to rush all the way to foul, but it was a bit late, allowing Delgado to enter the penalty area.

The Spaniard touched Anthony's head kindly, and his tone softened a little:
"Anthony, we are a collective. If there is a problem in the game, it is not your responsibility. I am more responsible. Absorb the experience of this game, you have a lot of room for growth. As long as you play, your running distance, It must be the highest in the team, and today is the same, [-] kilometers, the first in the team, this is your advantage, and you must continue to work hard in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Guardiola got up, returned to the center of the locker room, and said loudly:

"Anthony paid the price of the red card because of his own mistakes. He has taken the responsibility he has to pay. He is talented, his specialty is chasing back and intercepting, he has done his best.

Most of you did a great job today, the only thing that pissed me off was your game attitude, your defense after the lead!Leading by four goals, do you feel that the game is stable?Put on some music and dance along?Well, isn't it, Frank?
I know you are still very young, and it is indeed something to be happy and even proud of leading by four goals, but you keep it?If you maintain the four-goal lead, I won’t say anything now, you are definitely number one in the world, and you can lead your opponent by so much with just a kick, then I have nothing to say, don’t I?
A word to you, this is what Wei often said to me, the winner is the one who can have the last laugh!After leading by a big score, you can fully demonstrate your personal abilities, but can we also seriously defend.I can say unceremoniously that your defense for seven to 10 minutes after the game was just paper, and it would break if you poked it.

Guys, we can’t rely on luck, fairy balls, or God to save us every game. Statistics will not lie. Wei told me many times this season that we don’t have to pursue results, but the process, we must Will pay attention to.If this is the response you gave me after three days of rest, then I think you will never have such a comfortable vacation again.

All the good words, next time, I don't want to see such a defense, I want to see your attitude! "

"Okay, everyone go take a shower, then pack your things, get in the car, no training tomorrow, just rest for a day!"

The players may not have fully absorbed Guardiola's words, but they must have understood Coach Colin's last words. They are really tired from this game. To be able to rest for a day tomorrow is tantamount to amnesty. .

"Although Josep's words are a bit harsh, he still loves you very much, and even gave you a day's vacation. Be content, young lads..."

Abelardo took the lead in taking off his dirty game uniforms, and took things to the shower room. Before leaving, he did not forget to sing a red face and play a leading role as an old man in the locker room.

Franck Ribery responded positively and turned on the music directly. He didn't play today and was going back to the base to take a bath again, so he didn't take a bath here, so he had to get restless.

"Cough cough cough..."

Guardiola coughed softly across the locker room, so Frank Ribery quickly turned off the sound source in his hand, took off his clothes and ran to the shower room, walking all the way, and muttering all the way:
"God, the coach is too scary..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"
