King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 30 Are you cheating!

Chapter 30 old, are you hanging up!

On August 8st, two rounds of League Two had come to an end, and the 21-2001 English League Cup had officially started. Notts County's signing was not bad, but rather bad.The opponent they drew turned out to be Bolton from the Premier League.Bolton is currently ranked No.2002 in the Premier League. Although in the eyes of the Premier League powers, Bolton is a fish that they can slaughter, but for Notts County, Bolton is not a piece of fat. A collision of sparks splattering.

It would be a lie to say that Wei Xun and Guardiola have no idea about the two English domestic cups, the League Cup and the FA Cup.However, the depth of Notts County's current lineup is not enough to support Wei Xun and Guardiola to join hands to create a miracle for England's third-tier league team to participate in the UEFA Cup. The goal is to level up and win the British Championship trophy, nothing else matters.

Since the start time of the League Cup is too early, too much effort will have an unpredictable impact on the subsequent games. Wei Xun and Guardiola arranged the lineup for the League Cup based on the principle of "the league is the main game, and the cups are rested".

In this game, Guardiola happens to have partially rotated the Notts County lineup: Van Persie, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner, George Grant and Maurice Taylor rotated.In the goalkeeper position, since the two central defenders cooperated for the first time, Guardiola chose the tried and tested old goalkeeper Sasha.When facing Premier League teams, Sasha's experience will undoubtedly bring a huge improvement to this young line of defense.It is good to be able to pass this level, if not, Wei Xun and Guardiola will not feel sorry.

Five minutes before the start of the game, the starting lists of both sides appeared in the hands of the opposing coaches and commentators.

"I K, Josep, Bolton really thinks highly of us. If I read correctly, Bolton should play with all the main players this time..." Wei Xun couldn't help bursting into a foul language. The 20 teams in the Premier League, the last three The team is relegated, you are ranked fourth from the bottom, and you are still in the mood to send all the main players to play in the League Cup. You want to have an indefinite future with the Premier League, right?

"It's okay, Wei, we didn't have too much hope at first. To use a very famous old saying in China, it means "do your best and obey the destiny", as long as the players can get exercise in the game. In fact, God really It's very good for Notts County, let us meet a Premier League team in the first round, we must cherish the opportunity to compete with the Premier League team, after all, even if everything goes well, we still need 2 years Only then can they be promoted to the Premier League." Guardiola is obviously not as pessimistic as Wei Xun. In English football, cup matches are a hotbed for upsets, but that does not mean that weak teams have a great chance of upsets.It's just that the better your ability to seize opportunities, the more likely you are to be favored by God.

Only 8 minutes into the game, Bolton had completed 7 shots, 4 of which were within the range of the goal frame.The old goalkeeper Sasha seems to be an octopus with eight claws, he resists high and high, and tries his best to keep the gate of Notts County.

"Old Sasha is too good, Josep, you are too good!" Wei Xun's little heart was beating with excitement. Li's decision to choose Sasha to play also seems very correct at this moment.Seeing Bolton's coach on the coach's bench pissed off, wanting to scold his mother, Wei Xun felt so much better in his heart. Watching others suffer is a pleasure.

The young goalkeeper Ben Foster, who was sitting on the bench, also applauded his master again and again. During the one-on-one teaching, Sasha absolutely taught him everything, so every time his master made a For a wonderful save, Foster will quickly wave a towel on the bench to cheer for his master Sasha.

In the 15th minute, Bolton's No. 10 player shot directly from a free kick. Sasha dragged it up with difficulty. The ball hit the crossbar and popped out of bounds. Notts County escaped unharmed.

In the 19th minute, it was Sasha who made another contribution. He rejected the Bolton striker's one-handed goal with his calf.If Hubnell is old and strong, then at this moment, Sasha can definitely be regarded as the representative of old and strong in the heart of Chairman Wei Xunwei.

In the 27th minute, Bolton took a free kick in the frontcourt. The stance-style high center won the advantage in the confrontation with Chiellini for the first time. I saw that he turned around immediately after stopping the ball in the chest, and chose directly without looking at the goal. Maurice Taylor tried to block the volley, but failed to stop the ball from flying out.The speed of the ball was too fast and the shot was very sudden. Sasha could only helplessly watch the ball go into the net. "If I were 3-4 years younger, I might try my luck. Hey...", Sasha sighed He took a breath, fished the ball out of the net, and drove it to the middle circle with a big foot.

Harvey Alonso showed his responsibility and responsibility as the captain of the relegation team in La Liga. As the captain of Notts County, he must be the first to stand up. He applauded rhythmically to cheer for his teammates, walking all the way Talking, "Guys, TND cheer me up, so many fans are watching! Is that how you admit it? The first half is just halfway through, and it's still early before the end of the game. Let them also watch We are amazing!"

After the re-kick-off, Notts County's offense gradually improved under the help of Alonso and Sneijder. Finally, in the 34th minute, Van Persie completed Notts County's first kick in the game from outside the penalty area. shoot.

In the 403rd minute of the game, Notts County defender Giorgio Chiellini made an "illegal" pick-and-roll with Maurice Taylor in the opponent's penalty area. Neil swung the ball vigorously, and the ball bounced off the Bolton goalkeeper's finger and into the goal, 1-1, Notts County was at home and tenaciously equalized the score.

After scoring the goal, Chiellini ran excitedly to the Notts County coach's bench and gave Wei Xun a big bear hug, "Oh, my God, Giorgio, put me down quickly, I'm a little afraid of heights... ...Ah...help..." Wei Xun was most afraid of heights, even if it was more than two meters away, he felt that his legs were not in control, and began to shake slightly. He struggled desperately but couldn't break free. Yelini's shackles can only allow Chiellini and other players to throw themselves into the sky and let themselves fly.

Guardiola and Dario Hubner, as well as Chiellini's Italian fellow Barzagli, all gave Chiellini great affirmation, which made Chiellini's combat effectiveness continue to rise.

After struggling to hold off Bolton's attack late in the first half, the Notts County players finally ushered in a 15-minute respite.

In the first half of the game, Bolton entered the rhythm from the beginning. Notts County did not organize a few decent attacks in the first 30 minutes.During the half-time break, Guardiola did not make any substitution adjustments. He chose to encourage the players continuously, telling them to be brave enough to physically confront the Bolton players, and to make more safe passes in the midfield. To catch the ball, and to the frontcourt, everyone is required to suddenly speed up after a long period of possession of the ball, and actively change the offensive rhythm so that they can quickly pass in the offensive third area.

After the start of the second half, after Guardiola's orders, Harvey Alonso and Sneijder began to take the initiative to control the rhythm of the game. This was the first time that the young midfielder faced such a powerful opponent independently.In the first half, the lack of physical confrontation between the two of them was caught by Bolton's midfielders. As a result, Sneijder was strangled by Bolton's defensive midfielders and made frequent mistakes. Notts County's offense was once paralyzed. state.

During the intermission, Guardiola adjusted his position. He ordered George Grant to protect him behind Sneijder. Once Sneijder lost the ball, he immediately intercepted Bolton's players with the ball, even if it was due to tactics. It doesn't matter if you get a yellow card for a foul. George Grant's responsibility is to block Bolton's quick counterattack at all costs.

In the 64th minute, Notts County found a good opportunity on the left wing. George Grant received the pass from Lahm, and then quickly passed it to the midfielder Alonso. Alonso passed forward and the ball was sent to Sri Lanka. At Ned's feet, Sneijder noticed the position of Lahm and Lichtsteiner before receiving the ball. He dribbled the ball close to Lichtsteiner. After attracting 2 defenders, he played a reverse and put The ball moved to the left side of Lahm in a wide range. Lahm stopped the ball perfectly and threw off the defender's pressure. The inverted triangle passed into the space in the penalty area. Van Persie rushed forward desperately, before the Bolton goalkeeper attacked. , kicked first and scored the goal.
2-1, English League Two team Notts County leads the Premier League team Bolton at the Meadow Lane Stadium at home, the fans in the Meadow Lane Stadium jumped up, and some excited fans are already in the "Pavis Stand" There was a wave of people playing, and the bench and coaches stood up excitedly. The Meadow Lane Stadium, like a pot of water that has been painstakingly reached 100 degrees Celsius, completely boiled!
At this time, the Bolton coach was forced to make adjustments. He replaced a player Wei Xun did not know. According to the introduction of the player list, this person should be a winger.After Bolton No. 11 came on the field, he did cause a lot of trouble for Notts County on the wing. His starting speed was very fast, and he was often able to directly throw off the defense of the Notts County players. Under the restrictions of the team, his level of ability ensures that he can get the space for the cross, but unfortunately, the quality of the cross is not good, and he cannot form an effective attack on the gate of Notts County.

After becoming familiar with his style of play, Rahm began to assist upwards again, and the pressure on Notts County's defense line was also relieved a lot.In the 89th minute of the game, Lahm and Franck Ribery played a wonderful 2-over-1 cooperation on the left. Sneijder advanced forward to respond, and gave the ball to Lahm who came to the middle. It's just an undefended open field. Maybe today's foot wind is relatively smooth. Lahm dribbled the ball and adjusted his step a little bit. He chose to shoot directly. A powerful shot with the outside of his foot flew 19 meters and then flew into the goal. Top corner, 3-1, this goal can be said to seal the victory for Notts County.

The new crisis that Bolton coach created for Notts County through substitutions and adjustments was resolved. The 3-1 score was maintained until the end of the game. Rushing into the field, he gave the team's old goalkeeper Sasha a big hug, "Old Sasha, awesome! You are so awesome today! Are you cheating!"

The Notts County players spontaneously surrounded the old goalkeeper Sasha in the center of the field. They stood shoulder to shoulder and held hands, forming a moving circle.Without Sasha's god-level performance in the first half, Notts County would not be able to persist in the big counterattack in the second half.Compared with Lahm who scored the lore goal, most of the credit for winning this game must be credited to the old goalkeeper Sasha.

This is a victory for Sasha, a victory for the young Notts County players, a victory for New Notts County, and a victory for the more than 1 Notts County fans present.The hearty attack in the second half, David and the Notts County fans here have not seen each other for many years, defeating the Premier League team and advancing to the next round has set up higher self-esteem and confidence for the Notts County fans, tonight The Nottsshire people sleepless.
