Chapter 307 I'm more afraid of broken legs than you are

Chapter 3 I'm more afraid of breaking my leg than you are

Although this incident is quite noisy, it is really nothing to the Notts County players. After all, there are many videos of Joe Taylor being beaten and his arrogant appearance at the press conference. Everyone has seen it, such a person, if you don't beat him, beat anyone.

The fact that Ezayas became the general manager of Huaxin Company was expected by the players, but on the bright side, he is still the second in command, and the number one in Huaxin Security Company is still Hansen. This was at the banquet at noon yesterday , It has been agreed, and the so-called security guard is also a person who does not exist at all, no one has been expelled at all, Notts County only expelled a person who did not exist in the first place.

In the third round of the League Cup, Notts County's opponent is the historical League Cup champion Middlesbrough. Two days after the game, Notts County has to welcome itself in the UEFA Cup at the Meadow Lane Stadium. In the first round of the match, the opponent was the Romanian team, Steaua Bucharest.

Guardiola boldly rested after watching videos of Middlesbrough's multiple games.Compared with the League Cup, the Notts County team hopes to go further in the UEFA Cup, which is more in line with the club's development plan and long-term interests.

The two teams played a Premier League game in the previous two days. Notts County lost at home to Ranieri's Chelsea, and Middlesbrough were not doing well either. Bolton Athletic, which put their coach McLaren under tremendous pressure.

Compared with Notts County's bold starting rotation, McLaren also completely followed the starting lineup of the previous round of the Premier League without making any adjustments.

Because he knew very well in his heart that it wasn't that this lineup was bad, but that the players listened to his advice and kept their strength. They must win the League Cup match against Notts County!

Notts County's starting lineup seems to have only half of the main players, but to be honest, no position seems to be relatively weak.

The goalkeeper is the native England player Benjamin Foster, and the four defenders are Grosso, Chiellini, Mertesacker and Dani Alves.The three players in the midfield are Montolivo, Thiago Motta and Warren Doyle, and the trio of Malouda, Klose and Valbuena in the frontcourt. And there are no unknown young players starting the game.

In the 18-man roster, there are still young guys like Reid, Fleury, Curtis and Jamie Vardy. Franck Ribery, who needs to find his form, is also on the bench. There should be some players in the second half. opportunity to play.

Middlesbrough's goalkeeper position is a figure familiar to Chelsea fans. Veteran Schwarzer, born in 330, has dual citizenship of Germany and Australia. The left midfielder is a Spanish player on loan from Lazio. The international footballer Mendieta only spent [-] million euros. After he moved from Valencia to Serie A, his competitive state has declined, but this does not prevent him from getting a main position in Middlesbrough.

Middlesbrough wants to win, and Notts County's rotation lineup hopes to win the favor of the coach through their excellent performance. This game is bound to be a life-and-death matchup.

In the 5th minute of the game, German forward Miloslav Klose passed the ball to the right at the top of the arc in the penalty area. Right back Dani Alves caught up with the ball, took aim and passed the ball to the goal. Klose Zeqian's head-shaking attack drove the ball into the net.

One to zero!

The German's ability to seize opportunities gave Notts County a good start.

I don't know if it's because there are many Italians in the lineup, Middlesbrough's advancement still seems unhurried.

"Josep, according to the data from the data analysis center, their goals are basically concentrated in the second half. Judging from the current situation, this team is indeed relatively slow..."

Listening to Eric Tynhag's reminder, Guardiola nodded silently, "It's really slow enough..."

It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Middlesbrough launched a more decent counterattack. Spanish midfielder Mendieta sent a through pass from the right. Cameron Jerome used his speed to throw off Mertesacker's defense. A strong shot came from the right side of the penalty area, which was saved from the bottom line by the focused Benjamin Foster.

The subsequent corner kick attack is also a very traditional routine, throwing vigorously in front of the goal, scuffling, and then fishing in troubled waters.

However, Mertesacker's reckless blocking also gave the Middlesbrough people a new understanding of Notts County. This opponent does not seem to be easy to chew.

No. In the 19th minute, England central defender Southgate made a mistake in stopping the ball in the backcourt. Malouda stepped forward smartly and made a direct cross after stealing the ball. Warren Doyle, who rarely started a game, followed up in the middle. The kid didn't shoot at the first time, but passed it to Valbuena, who was in a better position, but the pass was a bit too big, and Middlesbrough defender Mills, who returned to defend, broke out of the penalty area.

"Strike, Warren, my fault! I should have hit the ball!"

How fast Valbuena has integrated into the team can be seen through the words he took the initiative to take responsibility. Next time Warren Doyle will definitely be very willing to pass the ball to him.

In today's game, Notts County's offensive line does not seem to have any strong points, but each position can carry out individual attacks, and the offensive play with multiple points is much more comfortable than when there are one or two strong points. After all, defensive players I don't know who to focus on. In the end, it can only be one-on-one defense, plus a central defender responsible for assisting defense. In this way, Notts County has more offensive opportunities.

No.303 minutes, Italian left-back Fabio Grosso also started to participate in the attack. He performed a brutal one-stop dribble on the left. Thiago Motta responded to his cross and made the ball to the forward. Facing such a good opportunity, Malouda, who was in front of the goal, was scared when he saw Southgate's long legs sliding over, that is, he was slow, and his shovel shot finally missed. to the ball.

"Fack, buddy, why are you scared?" Thiago Mota spread his hands towards Malouda in confusion, the implication is self-evident, buddy, you can't even score this kind of ball?

This kind of almost empty goal can't be scored, it seems that it is really a bit of a pit, Malouda is also a little embarrassed, and he hesitates, "He rushed over too fast, that kind of movement is terrible, I'm afraid he will take it I broke my leg..."

"Okay, brother, don't be so cowardly next time, as long as you are injured for the team, our boss will be responsible for you to the end. In fact, I am more afraid of breaking your leg than you..."

Having said that, Thiago Motta had nothing to say. He patted Malouda on the shoulder, turned around and returned to his position, and Schwarzer was ready to kick the goal.

"Hey, next time, I'd better not pass this kind of ball to him..." Mota shook his head, as if he had made some important decision.
