reborn football boss

Chapter 27

David didn't know that Loew also worked hard for Ribery's special situation.

At the end of the training the next day, Ribery was called to the office by Loew again and started a small cooking alone.

The first is to watch the video replays of Ribery's two consecutive starts. As long as Ribery takes the ball, Loew immediately pauses, and then starts to analyze the running positions of other teammates at this time, and use experience to tell Ribery more at this time. What is a good choice, and how to cooperate tacitly with teammates.

The two of them stayed in the office until midnight before analyzing all of the two games.

That’s not enough, the next day Xiaozao continued, Loew found several excellent left midfielders’ game videos, and also used their examples when they took the ball on the wing to explain to Ribery. This process lasted for three days night.

When Loew told Ribery that the theoretical special training was over on the last day, the Scar Warrior had been tortured to the point where he couldn't help saying the word pass. One can imagine how cruel this special training is.

However, the effect of the special training is very obvious. Ribery is also a player who plays football with his brain. After almost a week, although he has not yet reached a complete tacit understanding with his teammates, at least he is no longer the one who only knows how to dribble the ball on the wing. I'm stunned.

Ribery's problem was temporarily resolved, but it was precisely because of the special training given to Ribery that Loew caused even greater trouble.

Originally, Love was suspected of being gay. Although David didn't know how this rumor appeared, the saying in his previous life was very popular.

Because of the special training for Franck Ribery, the two men stayed in Loew's office every night until late at night. Those who knew the truth laughed it off, but those who didn't know the truth inevitably murmured.

At the beginning, this matter was only circulated among the club staff in a small range, but within a few days, it seemed that everyone in Nottinghamshire knew about it.

The media were overjoyed, it turned out that Loew is really gay, they guessed it right!
So "The Story Love and Ribery Have to Tell" became popular in Nottinghamshire, and the version of the story changed with each passing day.

What made David laugh the most was that there was a saying that although Ribery was young, the scar on his face made him look fierce. According to the accepted gay, there is no doubt about the roles played by the two.

After two league rounds, the English League Cup began, and Notts County's opponent was Northampton.

This opponent, New Notts County is quite familiar, because they are the opponent in the first warm-up match.

David still attaches great importance to the two English domestic cups, the League Cup and the FA Cup, because the champions of these two cups can participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

It would be a lie to say that David has no idea about the UEFA Cup next season.

According to his plan, the team's skills and tactics will take some time to take shape. If you encounter a Premier League or League One team early in the first League Cup, you can only give up this cup, but if you encounter opponents in the previous rounds They are all low-level teams, so Notts County can really give it a go. When the technical and tactical system is formed, even if they encounter a Premier League team later, they may not be unable to win.

As for the FA Cup, which started late, David was a little hesitant. Although the team was already on track when the FA Cup kicked off, unlike the League Cup, the FA Cup was more valued by the English team. The weight is also very heavy. If those mid-level Premier League teams put a lot of energy into the FA Cup, it may be difficult for Notts County to successfully break through the encirclement, so it is very entangled.

Forget it, let's take it step by step. Anyway, the team's main task in these two seasons is to upgrade. On the way to the Premier League, it is better to have flowers, and it doesn't matter if they don't.

Since there are only four days before the second round of the league, Loew decisively adopted a rotation. Although he also hoped that the team could make a breakthrough in the cup, but in order to cope with the third round of the league three days later, the main players must be rested.

Fortunately, the strength of the team's main lineup and substitute lineup is not much different. Altintop and Sneijder sit in the middle, and Villa's starting partner Altintop is equipped with two forwards. This is the first time for the Altintop brothers. Together for the first time.

The team seems to have a more balanced offense and defense, but in terms of offensive planning, there is still a certain gap between Altintop and Alonso, so the team is less creative in offense.

Northampton lost the same two-game losing streak as Notts County in the first two league rounds of the new season. Loew thought that the opponent would selectively give up the cup to save strength for the next round of the league.

But who would have thought that Northampton's starting lineup would be their starting lineup, and it seemed that they were definitely going to fight Notts County.

The following games also proved this point. Northampton had no intention of pulling back at all. They ran actively and fiercely, as if they were not playing the first round of the League Cup, but the final of the League Cup.

Notts County took the lead in the first half, and Villa received a through shot from Sneijder and scored.

However, the situation changed in the second half of the game. The goalkeeper Diego Lopez strained a muscle while making a save, and Ben Foster stepped in.

Perhaps because of insufficient warm-up, Ben Foster missed a save, and the opponent's striker made a supplementary shot to equalize the score, and the two sides returned to the same starting line again.

Notts County went crazy in the next game, but Northampton retreated and finally kept the 1:1 score until the end of the game, and the two sides entered overtime.

Due to the decline in physical fitness, neither side made any achievements in overtime, and the two sides entered a brutal penalty shootout.

Notts County doesn’t even have enough time to practice overall skills and tactics. How can there be time to practice penalty kicks? The game has progressed to this level. Love can’t help but sigh. I am afraid that Notts County’s League Cup trip this season will end here That's it.

The fans in the Northampton stands seemed to feel that the team had a chance to win, and they shouted for the team in unison. Whenever a Northampton player took a free throw, they shouted the player's name, and when the Notts County player When making free throws, there are loud boos.

Northampton's first penalty kick tricked Ben Foster into scoring the ball, while Notts County's first penalty kick slipped and kicked the ball away.

The home fans in the stands were elated, as if it was Christmas, and Villa walked back to his own queue with a depressed face.

Seeing that Villa failed to score a penalty kick, both Loew and David knew that the situation might be over. Fortunately, they sat quietly in their seats and watched the players take free throws.

However, it seems that God is not willing to let Notts County be eliminated from the League Cup early. At this time, a savior appeared.

Ben Foster, a native England youth goalkeeper, usually doesn't show his face, and he can't compete with Diego Lopez within the team. At that time, this inconspicuous goalkeeper stood up.
