King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 617

Chapter 0617
In the side-picking ceremony before the game, Bayern Munich won the right to take the lead. As soon as German striker Klose made an arc towards the center circle, the entire Magpie Stadium was deafeningly booed.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Hey hey hey, hey hey hey..."

Some fans of the Notts County Official Fan Club did not forget to make some special figures against the background. They waved the Notts County Club towels in their hands and "danced" there with their upper bodies bare.

The Golden Retriever King Kahn frowned even tighter. In such a noisy and hostile environment, it was really difficult to keep his attention all the time.

Especially their aging goalkeepers.

"Concentrate, don't be affected by some off-court factors, concentrate on the game, and the club and the coach will be responsible for everything."

Kahn yelled loudly at the teammates in front of him a few times, and he didn't know if the off-court factor he mentioned was the rumor of Ballack's transfer.

The impact of the noisy environment on the game is two-way, and the Notts County players do not seem to be well adapted to fighting in this booed environment.

In just 6 minutes of the opening, Notts County defender Mertesacker made a mistake. Klose seized the opportunity of Mertesacker's clearance not far away to complete the ball.

Bayern Munich's second attack caught the Notts County players off guard, Salihamidzic's volley shot from 13 meters in front of the goal missed.

He could have taken advantage of the time gap and made a better deal. Magath, who was sitting on the bench, looked annoyed, and his big leather shoes unconsciously rubbed against the turf on the ground.

I don't know if it is because half of the first team's main players are absent, Notts County's defense on the left is shaky.

The offensive players in the midfield also had to allocate part of their energy to assist Evra and Mertesacker in defense.

The offense couldn't play, and the defense missed a clean one.

No. In the 208th minute, Bayern Munich almost scored a goal. Schweinsteiger took a left corner kick, and the header monster Klose hit the crossbar with a header eight meters in front of the goal!
Fortunately, Benjamin Foster reacted quickly enough to press the ball under him before the Bayern Munich player rushed up to make a supplementary shot.

"call……"

Benjamin Foster took this opportunity to let out a long sigh of relief, and the other Notts County defenders were also taking deep breaths to adjust their breathing rate.

"Jurgen, we have been very passive during this time, and the defense line has changed three people at once. There is indeed a problem. Should we replace Curtis Jr. now?"

"hold on……"

Klopp watched everything on the field intently, and by the way waved his hand at his assistant Eric, signaling that the substitution adjustment would wait.

Five minutes later, Notts County lost the ball again in the backcourt. Mertesacker blocked Klose's shot in the penalty area, and Evra failed to make a complete clearance.

The opportunity once again came to the feet of the Bayern Munich players. Sauer made a left-footed shot from a position six meters away from the goal on the left.

"Duang..."

Sauer's shot hit the near post, and Foster quickly kicked the ball out with a big foot. Notts County escaped again.

"I'll go, our luck is too good today!"

The Notts County fans in the Parvis stands are all thankful for the luck of the team, but some fans still have worried looks on their faces.

"Sanders, do you know how to play football? We were beaten by others, and you said we were lucky. I would rather not have this luck, but play against Bayern Munich!"

"That's right, Sanders, when did you see us in Notts County being suppressed and beaten?"

"What look, really!"

"In the past, it was our regret that we missed the goal. Now we are glad that the opponent did not score. In the first half, the players played very tired. Our left side was pierced many times..."

"Hey……"

After a fan who seemed to know more about football uttered a rational analysis, there was another sigh in the Parvis stands.

Indeed, no one expected Notts County to be overwhelmed by Bayern Munich in the first half of the game.

Although Mertesacker and Evra are also good, there are still some fly in the ointment compared to Bayern Munich's defensive players.

Harvey Alonso and Sneijder in the midfield frequently helped the defenders to defend, resulting in David Villa who was on the front line receiving less support and did not give full play to his advantages.

In the first half of the game, Notts County had only two shots within the range of the goal frame, which was less than one-third of the usual.

The old Mertesacker on the bench rushed to the field angrily at the moment the final whistle sounded, kicking his dejected son.

"Mr. Chairman, don't you often say that there is a strong player in the strong, and a mountain is higher than a mountain. Look at your crying face!"

The old Mertesacker became irritable while talking, and kicked Mertesacker's ass again:
"What's the matter, is it a shame to be broken by these players in the Bayern Munich team? If you feel ashamed, you go and put them down. What's the use of just making mistakes?"

Mertesacker and his son did not return to the locker room, the younger one was taken away by Abelardo, and the old Mertesacker was always dragged into the stands by Wei Xun.

During the intermission, Klopp made some adjustments to Notts County's lineup, and there were also some changes in the tactical planning for the second half.

Cristiano Ronaldo replaced the ineffective Franck Ribery, who got himself into trouble with Lizarazu's trash talking.

"Cristiano, be careful. That old man's trash talk is annoying. His little moves that may appear anytime and anywhere are really annoying!"

President Luo shrugged, as if he didn't take it seriously.

"Thanks, man, but I'm Portuguese and I don't understand French..."

"Hahaha……"

Little Curtis patted Ribery on the shoulder, laughed and walked out of the locker room. Mertesacker was no longer able to play, and Little Curtis had to step up.

Bayern Munich got a corner kick at the beginning of the second half. Ballack was not there, and it was Schweinsteiger who took the corner kick.

The point of the corner kick was very similar to the one that was almost scored in the first half. Klose's shot near the penalty spot was inadvertently missed.

The German striker wanted to score a goal at the Magpie Stadium, but he had already figured it out, and he would not celebrate after scoring.

In a subsequent counterattack, Sauer gave the ball to Salihamidzic, who took a long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area and directly hit the ball into the stands.

No.609 minutes, the starting striker David Villa was replaced by Van Persie, and Messi, who was the main right winger, was also called by Klopp to warm up.

Not long after playing, Van Persie got an excellent chance to shoot. Cristiano Ronaldo swept the center from the left, and Van Persie strode up to follow up with a shovel shot.

The ball was won by Kahn, the Golden Retriever Lion King, and the German shook his finger at Van Persie, as if to say, boy, as long as I am here, you don't want to score.

Van Persie was not convinced, and in the subsequent waves of attacks, he and Cristiano Ronaldo caused great trouble to Bayern Munich's defense.

It's just that the shooting choices of the two of them were somewhat impulsive. This kind of lone wolf style of play also made Klopp on the bench shake his head again and again.

"Old Mo, look, Robin and the others will definitely be remembered as a little black bean. It's too rough, but it's not as stable as your son..."

"Steady? Steady ass, too many mistakes, if the team loses because of this, I will have no face to see Jurgen and the others in the future."

Although the old Mertesacker said so, the chairman of the club can feel that his son is stable, and he is still very happy in his heart.

Messi only got a little over 10 minutes of playing time in this game. He replaced the starting right winger Dani Alves.

The Argentine participated in Notts County's last attack in this game. Messi sent a precise oblique long pass from the right. Out of goal.

Klopp's adjustment is effective, but the time left for the new players is slightly less.

After a few of them played, Bayern Munich's offensive dropped sharply, but Notts County did not use this to knock on the opponent's door.

In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Bayern Munich, the group's top team, drew with Notts County in the away game, and the German's qualifying situation became more and more clear.
