King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 333
Chapter 333 Stepping on the old club to resurrect with full blood
NO.20 in October [-], on the fifth day after Wei Xun arrived in Italy, Notts County played away against his good friend Fulham.

As a good friend club with the same status as Northampton, Fulham's treatment is naturally quite good. On the basis of ensuring the team wins, it has to save some face for the brothers.

Notts County coach Pep Guardiola, under Wei Xun's instruction, carried out a proper rotation of the team. The first-line main players, substitutes, and youth team players divided up the starting lineup in a ratio of almost [-]:[-]:[-].

After losing [-]-[-] to Wigan Athletic in the sixth round of the league, Fulham under Chris Coleman defeated Blackburn and Leicester City [-]-[-]. In the eyes of gamblers, Fulham I don't know how much better Mu's state is compared to Guardiola's Notts County, which has lost three consecutive league games.

One wants to pursue a three-game winning streak in the league, and the other wants to get rid of the shadow of a three-game losing streak. The main theme of this game is not only offense, but also offense.

In the No.12 minute of the game, Van der Sar took a corner kick from Fulham's left side directly. The Dutchman threw away a strong hand and launched a counterattack. A shot.

Although the first shot was saved by the goalkeeper Ji Wen, the president who kept up with him missed the score in front of the goal and established an early lead for Notts County.

However, more than half of the credit for this goal should be credited to Van der Sar who launched the attack.

Fulham coach Coleman then made some adjustments, and the team completely raised the banner of offense. In the next few minutes, they got two single-handed shots. , It was his former teammate Van der Sar.

What are the characteristics of this group of forwards, what positions do they like to play, how is his shooting technique, how strong is he, and when facing a single-handed ball, Van der Sar knows well, so these people's shots can only May be to return without success.

I don’t know if Coach Coleman has any regrets now. Although the Shay Given he bought after selling the Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar is also very good, but compared with the helpless Van der Sar on the opposite side, I always feel a little psychologically disturbed. answer.

"What's all this called!"

If Wei Xun also sat on the sidelines to watch this game, he might have some new understanding of those domestic clubs signing avoidance clauses, and he couldn't help sighing:
"Oh I got it……"

In the No.20 four and No.301 minutes of the first half, Notts County passed two pass opportunities from the wing, and the president and Klose scored a goal respectively, extending the team's lead to three ball.

Dutch midfielder Sneijder scored a world wave goal in the first half injury time period, which made Given even more his background board.

Guardiola was also helpless. Even though the lineup had been rotated, Fulham was still beaten.

The relationship between friendly clubs cannot be left alone. In order to take care of the face of Fulham owner Fayed, the Spaniard made substitutions and adjustments during the intermission. Curtis Jr., Iniesta, and Valb Aina got the chance to play.

In order to prevent Fulham from losing too ugly in the end, Guardiola also specifically confessed that if Fulham has not scored at the last moment, the defense can properly give the opponent a penalty kick to express his heart.

For Fulham, Coach Coleman changed all the starting forwards. They are all players who have never worked with Van der Sar. The dreaded Dutchman targeted.

Naturally, the effect is there. In the 604th minute, Clark steals Valbuena and sends a through ball. The young striker Roberts faces the attacking Edwin van der Sar with a push from the far corner, which is finally a help. Fulham pulled a goal back.

Curtis Jr. and others who came off the bench were also relieved that they didn't have to help their opponents score this time.

However, the tension and anger that hit his face made little Curtis breathless:
"Nimma, why did this group of people suddenly become so fierce!"

In any case, Curtis’s partner Chiellini became more and more excited. He roared several times to direct his teammates to stand and defend, which made the Italian’s self-confidence explode. A wonderful tackle block, It even made compatriots such as Hubner and Cannavaro on the bench applaud.

"Beautiful, just do it!"

"Tougher!"

In fact, Chiellini can do better with this ball, and it is nothing to take it down. After all, there are no Fulham players chasing him behind him.

However, Chiellini's handling method is understandable for a central defender, and safety comes first.

No. In the 704th minute, Fulham's 24-year-old Japanese midfielder Junichi Inamoto took advantage of Curtis's short-distance clearance and took a long shot from the top of the penalty area. The ball bounced irregularly. Ground, from Van der Sar's armpit into the net.

Two to four, with less than 10 minutes left, if a miracle happens, Fulham might be able to equalize the score.

The Fulham fans at home were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, no longer reserved, tearing their voices, cheering for the team, and from time to time there were some restless fans, trying to provoke the Notts County fans , but David Prowse is very sober.

Although the scores of the two teams have been caught up, Notts County is still firmly controlling the situation on the field. If Fulham wants to make a big change, it must find some special factors to disrupt the situation, such as field brawls , Red and yellow cards and other stories, only in this way can Fulham have the possibility of equalizing or even reversing.

"Let them play, as long as the team can have the last laugh and win the game, what can we do if we are scolded by these guys, Lawrence?"

Prowse gently patted the young Lawrence fan on the shoulder and motioned him to sit down:
"Didn't Wei always say that it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. When they get to our territory, they will suffer..."

Lawrence thought so too, Fulham will have to come to Meadow Lane Stadium in February, and then let them see the demeanor of the young man.

Are Fulham players working hard?
They all worked very hard, they could even be said to be desperate, fighting for every ball and not conceding an inch, but the miracle just didn't happen.

Relying on the wonderful performance of the Dutch goalkeeper, Notts County stepped on Van der Sar's old club Fulham and returned to the sixth position in the Premier League. At any rate, they can get a UEFA Cup qualification.

The biggest mistake of Fulham, whose three-game winning streak has been broken, is probably the sale of Van der Sar to Notts County.

Guardiola's entrustment actually didn't make much sense. Fulham won a penalty through their own efforts in the second half, but Roberts' penalty was rejected by Van der Sar.

Even the narrator has to lament that time is fate...
