Chapter 34 Turning the tide
After a 50-minute drive from the University of Nottingham, Wei Xun finally arrived at the base in Notts County. It was already time for lunch, but the old Grant still stood firm in the concierge, doing his duty.Seeing Wei Xun approaching, the old Grant pressed the electric door switch for Wei Xun, and Wei Xun drove into the base and stopped beside the concierge.
"Old Ge, lock the door, let's go to eat, don't be afraid of surveillance..."
The old Grant was not shy, and directly sat in the co-pilot of the Wei Xun Grand Cherokee, and arrived at the downstairs of the No. 3 restaurant in Notts County [-] minutes later.
The first restaurant is the first building completed in the entire Notts County base except for the large bathroom "magpie pool". All the staff and players ate in the newly built board room next to the first restaurant. The air conditioner was blowing and they drank sour plum soup, but they didn't feel hot.
Now it's time to eat, the entire Notts County staff, young players, and coaches are queuing up at the first restaurant to eat. Many people saw Wei Xun coming, and they all greeted Wei Xun and swiped. Familiar.Wei Xun refused several people's requests to let him cook first, and lined up quietly.
Old Grant benefited from Notts County's "Respect for the Elderly" announcement. There is a separate window to serve the elderly Notts County "babies" such as Old Grant, Krautsen, Devlin, etc., and it is ready Fan and sat in the seat, and also reserved a seat for Wei Xun.
After waiting for a few minutes, Wei Xun finally sat opposite Old Grant. Wei Xun's meal was very light: two boiled eggs, a fried chicken breast, a fruit salad, a bowl of multigrain rice and a bunch of freshly squeezed Orange juice.
In contrast, Grant Sr.'s plate included a serving of steamed fish, a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, half a serving of beef brisket with potatoes and a bowl of multigrain rice.In short, there is fish and meat every day, and there are milk and fruits in the morning and evening. Compared with the meals of players and young staff, they pay more attention to the balance and matching of nutrition. This is also a kind of benefit for the elderly in Notts County. They are all The wealth of Nottsshire.
After finishing lunch like a storm, Wei Xun received a call. After a short call, Wei Xun was a little excited to thank Old Grant, "Old Ge, let's watch the game on a big color TV today..."
"Big color TV?" Lao Ge, who was eating fish, almost choked on Wei Xun's words.
In the past, if you wanted to follow the team's away games in Notts County, you could only use the radio. If they were not broadcast, you could only dictate or read newspapers when they came back.Now that the transnational black-and-white TV sets have entered the color era, the old Grant is still a little surprised. This step is too big, and it is easy to mess up.
"That's right, Lao Ge, it's a color TV. I bought it for $600. You must like it..."
Lao Ge didn’t eat half of the fish, so he took his dinner plate to the elderly window and asked the staff to put half of the fish in his lunch box, freeze it, and eat it after warming it up at night, although Wei Xun’s life was better after he came. Too much, but dare not waste it.
In July 1967, the BBC broadcast Wimbledon games in color.
According to the "Daily Mail" data, in 2000, there were still 21 black and white TV users in the UK. Although this number is decreasing at a rate of 20% per year, until 2016, there were still more than 1 TV users in the UK. Users of black and white television sets.
The annual fee for black-and-white TV is 49 pounds, and for color TV is 152 pounds. They are not bad at 100 degrees, but the picture and sound texture of black-and-white TV are full of nostalgia, full of strong retro style, and it smells "really fragrant".
When Wei Xun and Old Grant returned to the concierge, the color TV set had already been placed on the pedestal that Wei Xun had bought together. Since the TV license had been bought before and the staff of the British Broadcasting Corporation had connected the wiring, it was now In the final state of debugging, less than an hour before the start of the game, Wei Xun and old Grant quietly waited for the staff to inform them that everything was OK.
This color TV also had the appearance of a big belly, but it was not the popular brands such as Changhong, Panasonic, and Toshiba in China at the same time, and it was somewhat different from what Wei Xun remembered.
In less than 10 minutes, the staff of the broadcasting company completed the debugging. After enthusiastically presenting small gifts from Notts County to the employees of the broadcasting company and watching them leave, Wei Xun and old Grant sat in the mail room and watched quietly. Watching the big color TV, after a while, pictures of Notts County and Brighton players warming up on the pitch began to appear on the TV screen.
"I K, this shit is AV quality!" Wei Xun put his head in his hands, he couldn't believe his glasses, how could such an expensive TV still have snowflakes, pixels visible to the naked eye.But after thinking about it for a while, Wei Xun felt relieved. He came from an era when everything was full of ultra-high-definition and 4K. After getting used to it, it was really difficult to watch programs with low-definition machines, but this is already the time. It is relatively clear, learn to endure and get used to it, hey.
As a newly promoted team in the League Two, "Seagull" Brighton is regarded as a persimmon by many League Two teams, and they all want to bite off a piece of meat from it.
However, Wei Xun clearly remembers that in the 2000-2001 season England's fourth-tier champion Brighton won the League Two Championship in the 2001-2002 season and successfully promoted to League One next season.
In the face of such a team, it is absolutely self-defeating to be paralyzed and take it lightly.
Last season, Brighton's main striker Bobby Zamora scored 43 goals in 28 fourth-division games, and he was full of firepower.As a striker who was only 20 years old, Bobby Zamora took one step at a time, from the fourth tier league to the second division, and followed Brighton to the first division one year later.Due to his continuous outstanding performance, after the end of the League One season, he moved to the Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur, reaching the peak of his career.Although his performance in Tottenham was not satisfactory, his experience from the low-level league to the top league and being selected for the national team can be regarded as an inspirational legend.
On August 8th, at the Wesden Stadium, Brighton, who ranked first in the League Two with three wins and three wins, played at home against Notts County, which had only four points with one win, one draw and one loss.
Brighton coach Mitch Adams, as the meritorious coach who led Brighton to the promotion, is also full of ambitions and is ready to do a big job in the new season.
Therefore, this game is a battle between two ambitious young coaches. All the factors before the game have determined that this is a wonderful match between sparks and earth.
Notts County's veteran Hubner and coach Guardiola took turns for this game. Chiellini, who performed well in the last round of the cup, won a starting position. Notts County changed to a 352 formation for this game : Goalkeeper No. 1 Reina, three central defenders Barzagli, Chiellini and Mertesacker played together. The wing backs on both sides are No. 16 Ram and No. 4 Lichtsteiner. Avant-garde George Grant partnered with Harvey Alonso, midfielder Sneijder, and the two forwards were No. 2 Dirk Dirk and No. 13 Van Persie. This was the first time that the three Dutchmen started in the same game.
Brighton sent their usual 4411 formation. Bobby Zamora is still starting as a lone striker. He has scored 3 goals in 5 rounds. The culprit".
In the 5th minute of the game, Harvey Alonso took the lead after a long absence from Notts County, with a powerful shot, "rock-shattering, earth-shattering, earth-shattering", hitting the bottom of the goal crossbar and bounced into the goal. Notts County Got off to a fantastic start.This made Wei Xun and the old Grant waiting in front of the TV very excited, and the old Grant seemed even more excited. After all, it was his son George who provided the assist for Alonso.
The offensive rhythm of the first half of the game was firmly under the feet of Notts County. Brighton coach Adams did not want to overturn his pre-match arrangement, and the 1-0 score was maintained until the end of the midfield.
I don't know what Adams said to his players at half-time. After the start of the second half, there were endless fouls and trash talking from Brighton players.In the 52nd minute, the central defender Barzali, who had just been selected into the best team of League Two last week, was irritated by the trash talk of the Brighton players. He directly tackled the opposing player from behind in a defense, and was sent off by the referee with a red card. The situation on the field in Notts County suddenly became tense.
Wei Xun also couldn't believe himself, the always calm Barzagli would be sent off with a red card.Guardiola could only quickly make adjustments, changing to a 4-back formation, trying to strengthen his half-court defense.
In the 65th minute, Bobby Zamora, the young shooter king, finally broke free from Chiellini's biting defense. A reverse run found a chance to shoot, and he volleyed the goal without stopping the ball. Thanks to his superb shooting skills, 1-1, the two teams returned to the same starting line again.
After Barzagli was sent off, Guardiola began to think about the team's plan with his assistant coach Javier. After the score was equalized, Guardiola decisively replaced Van Persie and German striker Klose. The Dutch striker Kevin Dirk.
Driven spared no effort to run and grab in the frontcourt, providing precious time for Notts County's defense line, which is what Guardiola needs most at this time.
In the following time, Notts County was suppressed and could only move around its own penalty area, and occasionally a few counterattacks were destroyed by the Brighton defender in time.
The camera was pointed at Notts County's coaching bench many times, and Guardiola could not see any expression on his face.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Notts County took advantage of a corner kick and Klose scored with a header from the front of the small penalty area. It was 2-1. Notts County took the lead again. Hugged together, this is the first in the league!
Wei Xun and Old Grant were extremely confident that Klose's goal would be the last goal of the game and Notts County's lore goal, but things backfired.
They forgot Brighton's nuke - Bobby Zamora.In the final moments of the game, Zamora started his performance. After receiving a pass from his team-mate, Zamora dunked the defending George Grant on the penalty line, Chiellini and Mertesacker. Before closing the door, flashed through the gap between the two of them, a wonderful pull the ball and turned around to pass the attacking goalkeeper Reina, and there was only an empty goal in front of him. Boots, Bobby Zamora did not take advantage of the inability to score the goal, a burst shot that did not need to be aimed, and the ball quickly rolled across the goal line.
The entire Westland Stadium was boiling. The Notts County Expedition fans who had just been counting down and waiting for the end of the game looked extremely sad at this moment. The three points they got turned into one point, just a few seconds away!
Zamora's performance was great. He played with the entire Notts County defense line by himself and turned the tide. At this moment, he is the savior of Brighton, the god of Weston Stadium, a domineering side The missed boxing celebration showed his heroic qualities.
