Chapter 34

Because the live signal of the League Two League could not be received in the United States, David did not watch the contest between Notts County and the league leaders, but David knew the result of the game as soon as the game ended.

Notts County won, and it wasn't an easy win.

This is a soul-stirring game, maybe this kind of game should not appear in the League Two.

Notts County, who played at home, quickly entered the state at the beginning, launching a series of fierce offensives, and Iniesta opened the scoring for the team.

However, after conceding the ball, Brighton quickly stabilized their position and stepped up their offensive. Before the end of the first half, they took advantage of the mistakes of Notts County's defense to equalize the score.

In the second half, they changed places to fight again, and the two teams launched a fierce confrontation. Although Notts County had a certain advantage in the confrontation and threatened Brighton's defense more, until 75 minutes, no one could make it. Goal scored.

At this time, Notts County made personnel adjustments, removed Alonso, who had appeared in a row but was physically weak, and replaced him with Villa, Loew felt a little desperate.

And his substitution had an unexpected and immediate effect. Villa's first touch of the ball caused the opponent's penalty. He received a through ball from Macho on the wing, turned around and scored. Going in, the Brighton defender caught off guard kicked Villa down behind him, and the referee awarded a penalty without hesitation.

Although Brighton players protested non-stop around the referee, the referee who was not far from the incident saw clearly that the penalty kick was an undoubted fact.

Villa personally took the penalty to create his own penalty, tricked the goalkeeper and sent the ball into Brighton's goal, and Notts County took the lead again.

After taking the lead, Notts County began to consciously recover and strengthen their defense. After all, there is not much time left, and they can only keep the score to the end. Notts County will defeat the league leader Brighton and win four consecutive victories.

But Love still underestimated Brighton's tenacity.

Brighton aggressively attacked and replaced the substitute high center forward, plus the central defender was in front, and three tall players of the opponent suddenly appeared in the penalty area of ​​Notts County.

Brighton's style of play no longer pursues efficiency. It directly kicks the ball from the wing and played high-altitude bombing with Notts County. This is also a common style of play used by many English clubs.

Although this offensive method is very direct and rude, the threat to Notts County is not small, because the height of Notts County's defense is not dominant.

Lescott was suspended, and Westman and Boulahrouz started the game. Their high-altitude ball defense was not inferior, but the opponent had three high points, and they couldn't defend at all. For a while, Notts County's The wind in the restricted area was jittery.

Loew immediately made substitution adjustments, replacing Hubner with the outstandingly tall Mertesacker. In this way, at least one-on-one will not fall behind.

But before the dead ball had a chance to make a substitution, Mertesacker was still waiting for a substitution to enter the field, and Brighton used this rough but effective high-altitude bombing to blow away Notts County's goal.

Love almost didn't scold his mother, just for a while, the opponent's luck is really good.

There is no way, the substitutions must continue, and the opponent will not continue to attack by taking advantage of Notts County's weakness.

At this time, there is no way out, either you die or you live, Loew replaced Ribery, who has a speed advantage, and there is only a combination of Xiaoling and Kuai in the frontcourt. He wants to use his speed to overwhelm his opponents.

At the end of the game, the rhythm of the two sides was extremely fast. You come and go, and the fans on the scene are excited.

When the fourth official raised the sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time, the players on the field did not notice that their attention had been completely focused on the game.

Just when everyone thought that this fierce game would end in a draw, Villa stepped forward again and became the team's savior.

Another attack ended without a problem. The ball was controlled by the opponent's full-back. Villa actively went up to grab it. The opponent did not choose to kick the ball out of the sideline in a panic, but chose to pass it to the goalkeeper who was not far away.

The Brighton goalkeeper didn't expect his teammates to pass the ball back to him at this time. In a haste, the stop was a bit big, and Villa quickly pushed up.

Brighton's poor goalkeeper predicted the speed of both sides, and sadly found that if he kicked his feet, it is very likely that the ball will be blocked by the Notts County striker, or even directly blocked into the goal.

So, in the blink of an eye, he gave up the big kick and chose to dunk Villa.

I thought that everything would be fine after dunking Villa and driving out with a big foot. After all, the Notts County forward does not have the same defensive awareness and skills as the defender.

But who would have imagined that Villa did not jump up and turn around rashly in the face of his big-footed feint. This time, the Brighton goalkeeper was directly petrified.

Villa easily broke the ball at the Brighton goalkeeper's feet, pushed it lightly, and the ball rolled into Brighton's gate in the eyes of the fans.

Who would have thought that a striker who came off the bench could miraculously score two goals in a row and become the biggest contributor to the team's victory?
The lore at the last moment turned the Meadow Lane Stadium into a sea of ​​joy. The players celebrated wildly on the court, and the fans celebrated wildly in the stands. Only the Brighton players were a little confused and their expressions were full of disbelief.

Brighton's goalkeeper slumped on the ground, as if the whole world had abandoned him.

After winning this key battle, Notts County's strong team showed outstanding temperament. They fought hard against the top two teams in the standings but were able to kill a bloody road. No one will underestimate the oldest team in England. professional club.

However, although they won Brighton, there is still a three-point gap with Brighton. Notts County has quietly ranked No.3 in the standings.

Major bookmakers have changed their odds, and Notts County's odds of winning the championship have dropped sharply, even surpassing Mansfield, which ranks second in the league standings, and only slightly higher than Brighton.
