Zhou Xu, who arrived at the training base early in the morning, had a sad face. Today is October 10th, and there is still almost a week until Kanter returns.
Although Notts County won the three games that Kante missed, they received a total of 5 yellow cards in just three games. Before that, there were only 5 yellow cards in the 5 games with Kante. , two of which were taken by Fred himself after replacing Kanter. The remaining two games where Kanter took a rest were even more disastrous, with 5 yellow cards in the two games.
Without Kante, his players are almost racking up yellow card suspensions.
Fred is completely unsuitable as a single defensive midfielder. He does not have the ability to sweep the entire field and quickly launch a counterattack after stealing the ball. Even looking at the current world football, Zhou Xu cannot find a substitute for Kante. It is either too expensive or not available. Willing to come.
Verratti can also play as a defensive midfielder, but he needs more protection than Fred. His defensive midfielder is not good except for delivering the ball. Fred can at least intercept and counterattack at the risk of getting a topaz card. , Verratti's single defensive midfielder is directly undefended.
However, the appearance of Fred made Zhou Xu's offense stronger. Perhaps Kanter has not yet evolved to the extent of integrating offense and defense.
Unexpectedly, when Zhou Xu raised his head, he found that Mane and Kante came to the training ground together. Next to him was Wang Chu, who had 5 goals and 2 assists. He was always with Mane, so he had no choice but to wake up early with Mane.
"Morning," Zhou Xu greeted one by one, and then quickly asked why Kanter returned to training nearly a week early.
He learned that the team doctor thought Kanter had recovered very well and asked him to return early for recovery training to try to win the next game. It is of course the best to be able to play against Barnsley on the 15th.
Zhou Xu is very excited. Kanter is irreplaceable in Zhou Xu's lineup. His defense has improved the level of Notts County. A level.
With excitement, Zhou Xu stared at Kanter all day long, making Kanter look shy.
"Chairman, why are you always staring at me?"
"Kanter, we need you. Although it may be a bit bad, if you are really able to participate, I will let you start without hesitation."
Zhou Xu's eyes were shining. He could already think of how Kante represented Notts County in the Champions League and defended those wealthy forwards.
Time flew by and soon came to No. 15. Unfortunately, , the team's physical therapist confirmed that there was a risk in Kanter's playing, so Zhou Xu still did not let Kanter play. He had to ensure that the children he signed were safe.
Stones was born in Barnsley, so Zhou Xu was there. He was also asked for his opinion when making tactical deployment, on October 15th, in the visiting team’s locker room at Oakwell Stadium, Barnsley, Yorkshire, England.
"Stones, don't be affected. You should also understand that you will not stay in League One for life. You will leave eventually, right?"
Zhou Xu did not explain the tactics at the first time, but comforted Stones.
As a youth player of Barnsley, Stones' departure was regarded as a betrayal by Barnsley fans, even though it brought 1 million in revenue to Barnsley's difficult finances.
"Barnsley is a team with strong tackling ability. Their success rate of tackling is much higher than the average level of League One. This is what we need to pay attention to. In other words, this is a tenacious team that is good at defense. You can often see Barnsley players still running at the end of the game.
Their goalkeeper Bertrand Laquait is outstanding. He has made many god-level saves in the game. At the age of 36, he also interprets what it means to be more powerful with age.
Bobby Hassell, the 34-year-old full-back is the one who loses the most balls in the Barnsley team. It is necessary to strengthen the pressure on him. Nicky Carden on the other side also needs to strengthen the pressure.
Barnsley midfielder Glenlover is the core of Barnsley. Fred, this requires you to defend him closely and never let him receive the ball comfortably.
In the winger position, Karen Cadogan has good speed and explosive ability. When facing him, it is best to let his left non-dominant foot touch the ball more, which will greatly reduce his threat.
Andrew Gray, the 186cm tall forward, has scored 5 goals this season and is the top scorer in Barnsley. More importantly, this forward is not a starter. Barnsley's starting striker is Oliver Shaw, but after scoring only 1 goal in 10 starts, Barnsley coach Tom Halba gave up on him."
As the game started, the players walked onto the field. The boos of nearly 20,000 fans at Oakwell Stadium completely overwhelmed the cheers of less than 3,000 Notts County fans. Zhou Xu's ears were filled with abuse against Stones and other players. In their eyes, Stones was a traitor.
Amid the deafening boos, the game began.
"At the beginning, the Notts County players attacked wildly. Mane broke through from the wing, entered the penalty area, and hit the goal. Goalkeeper Laquait magically saved the ball. Notts County's corner kick opportunity, Verratti took the corner kick, from the back point, Maguire header, the ball went in. Another lightning goal, in the 3rd minute of the game, Notts County scored."
After scoring the goal, Maguire slapped his chest crazily. He wanted to vent his anger for his future national team teammates. The home team fans booed even louder, but you can hear the obvious guilt from them. Now they are lagging behind. The head coach Halba did not make any move.
Barnsley had already lowered his attitude. Now that the Lightning lost the ball, he was even more afraid to change the offensive formation.
3 minutes later, Notts County scored again, and the sky was full of boos. It seems to be a reinforcement, the Notts County players played at a super level
" Niemann, steals from the wing, passes through, Vardy is being marked a bit hard. Verratti comes up and distributes it to Verratti. Verratti passes through, Salah, he goes in and hits the goal! The ball went in, the ball went in. This is a perfect case of anti-offside, Salah scored again, the Egyptian has scored 17 goals, who can stop him.
Barnsley kicks off and wait, the ball is snapped again. Fred, the Brazilian kid replaced Kanter as the starting midfielder after he was injured. He passed it to Stones, who was facing his old club in this game. Stones passed the ball, Pogba, the Frenchman pushed forward, through ball, beautiful. Verratti received the ball, Notts County's midfielder connected and shot. Verratti broke into the penalty area and chose to shoot, and the ball went in.
In the 6th minute of the game, Notts County was 3-0. The boos on the pitch had gradually dissipated. It was terrible. It was simply unbelievable. This was going to be another big-scoring game."
"The game is finally over. Why did you mess with him? Facing the boos, Notts County beat Barnsley 6-0. Facing their old club, Stones made an assist, Salah scored twice, Pogba, Maguire, Verratti and Vardy all scored. Notts County's winning streak continues, 13 consecutive wins and every game has at least 3 goals, which is incredible."
