Chapter 401 Second Counseling, Five Guards

Chapter 4 and One Second Counseling, Five Guards

As for Notts County, there were too many surprises.

Regardless of how the "Sun", "Nottingham Evening News", "News of the World", Sky Sports and other English media are unanimous to the outside world, frantically advocating how smooth Notts County's offense is, like mercury pouring down the ground, hitting opponents in vain. It's this final, how Notts County will win and so on.

They have almost said all the beautiful words, but when it really came to the game, Notts County coach Guardiola was still in second, and the Spaniard sent five defenders this time!
A five-three-two formation is unambiguous at all!

Standing on the goal line was still Dutch veteran Edwin van der Sar, and on the bench was England goalkeeper Benjamin Foster, who also had an English household registration book, but was younger and taller goalkeeper Aaron Hopewell.

Notts County's left and right full-backs can only be said to be guest appearances. After all, there are still some differences between full-backs and wing-backs. Danny Alves and Fabio Grosso are the starters.

Felipe Ram is not weak, but compared with Fabio Grosso, he still lacks some experience in the top league. Dani Alves has played in the Spanish professional league for two years, and one of them Years is La Liga game experience.

If you tell the media reporters in advance that Notts County will play five defenders in this game, they will definitely be able to guess the central defender combination. Italian veteran Cannavaro and former Barcelona player Abelardo, plus Notts County The Portuguese defender Carvalho introduced from the Porto club.

The combination of these three central defenders is solid!
There are also some changes in the midfield trio. Edgar Davis, Rivaldo who has returned from injury, and the Dutchman Sneijder still have a midfielder and two midfielders. Notts County did not because of To gain a foothold in defense, use the double midfielder.

Guardiola has studied Benitez's tactics. Valencia has a high probability of playing double defensive midfielders. After Sneijder and Rivaldo's two midfielders play against them, it will cause headaches for the opponent.

The striker was the biggest surprise. Drogba was still the one at the front, but the shadow striker standing behind him was not Van Persie or Klose, but the Brazilian Ronaldinho.

This is a position where the Brazilian international has never played. Guardiola admits that he has a gamble, but he hopes that he can win the gamble.

For Wei Xun, the biggest variable in this game is the referee.

Today's referee is the famous bald referee from Italy, Collina.

This bald man with the title of "the first whistler in world football" gave the Marseille team a red dot package early in the UEFA Cup final, which made the French team regretfully defeated; It is really amazing to publish an autobiography and become a writer.

In the side-to-side link, team captain Van der Sar helped Notts County get the right to kick-off. In the first half, Notts County attacked with the wind, and Valencia advanced against the wind with a lot of resistance, and it was not a small time.

Only 18 seconds into the game, Notts County got an offensive opportunity after kick-off. Ronaldinho broke into the penalty area with the ball. Sneijder turned around and shot ten meters in front of the goal. It was not difficult, but it missed the target!

"what……"

The Brazilian who failed to score a goal was also a little ashamed. This was the meat that the opponent sent to his mouth, but he didn't eat it.

Valencia quickly settled into their familiar pattern, taking advantage of Notts County's heavy pressure, Van der Sar's position was relatively high, and Vicente came just past the halfway line on the left side of the midfield. A lob shot.

The Dutch goalkeeper trotted all the way into the penalty area. Fortunately, he didn't go too far, barely in front of the goal line, hit the ball, and finally lobbed his foot over the crossbar.

corner kick!

Spanish international Albelda took a corner kick on the right, which was a pre-penalty kick. Forward Mista's shot was blocked by Cannavaro. Angulo on the outside didn't make any adjustments when he took the ball. The goal was 18 meters away and the shot was missed.

At the beginning, the two sides were still looking for the feeling of shooting. There was an offensive, but they just couldn't score.

In the 5th minute of the game, Valencia's short central defender Ayala lost again in the duel with the Brazilian Ronaldinho. Seeing that his opponent was about to dribble forward, the Argentine directly Shoveled Ronaldinho to the ground and received the first yellow card of the game.

The Brazilians and the Argentines are somewhat at odds. As the two major football powerhouses in South America, they have met countless times in history.

Rivaldo and Danny Alves in the Notts County team are not good men and women. Ronaldinho was knocked to the ground. Naturally, they wanted to argue with Ayala. Anyway, Danny Alves Si heard Big Brother greet Ayala's mother.

The official language of Argentina is Spanish.Spanish is ranked in terms of the number of first language speakers, with approximately [-] million native speakers, second only to Chinese.The official language of Brazil is Portuguese. Brazil was once a colony of Portugal in the [-]th century, and Argentina was also a colony of Spain.

Both languages ​​belong to the Latin family, so there is no problem with simple communication, and you can generally understand cursing.

Corina showed his superb refereeing skills at this time. All the players from both sides who participated in the scolding, the Italian bald head gave a yellow card, and Ayala survived this time because he had already received a yellow card. , is considered an extrajudicial favor.

The episode ended briefly, but the smell of gunpowder in this game seems to have risen!

Valencia saw through Notts County’s fast serve, and the counterattack speed of the “Bat Legion” was indeed much faster than Notts County’s. Vicente led the ball forward all the way, and finally ended the attack with a long shot. It's a pity that the distance of the attack was too long, and there was no strength in the final shot, and the ball was held firmly in Edwin van der Sar's arms.

In the 10th minute of the game, Cannavaro sent a long pass from the backcourt. Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba's stop was a bit big, but the tall and long-legged Drogba is awesome, he is still on the left side. Bu hooked the ball back and took a shot ten meters away from the goal.

It takes a bit of luck to score a goal with a forced shot, but this time, Lady Luck is not on Notts County's side.
