At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

"Charlton Athletic, under the coaching of head coach Liam Manning, is a united team." Laura introduced to Zhou Xu,"They are a tightly integrated whole, everyone has everyone. division of labor"

"In addition, the 23-year-old defender Jorda, who is on loan from Hull City, really has a special ability. His throw-in ball is like a grenade. Charlton Athletic has obtained many opportunities through this skill."

"As for the shortcomings, Charlton forward Jason Ewell, the 35-year-old Jamaican forward is the team's top scorer, but the top scorer only scored 7 goals, which means that Charlton Athletic's attack The strength is somewhat insufficient.

Charlton Athletic's tactics are mainly a pass-and-control tactic of penetrating the ball in the middle. This was completely restrained by us. Under Kante's sweep, Charlton Athletic, which mainly played 523, found it difficult to launch an attack from the middle.

Charlton Athletic's recent form can be described as explosive. They are ranked third in the league with 11 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss. In the League Cup, they upset Wigan Athletic of the Premier League. Although they did not score many goals in each game, But Charlton Athletic also conceded very few goals. Charlton Athletic have conceded only 12 goals in 17 league games so far, and their goalkeeper Nick Pope has performed extremely well."

Pop? Zhou Xu understood after hearing this.

Pope, who moved to Newcastle in 2022 and became Newcastle's main goalkeeper, was the direct victim of Teng Sheng's clever plan to disrupt Newcastle.

This powerful goalkeeper and most of the players Similarly, he started out in the amateur league and has been in the lower leagues for many years.

At the age of 16, he joined Bury and then joined Charlton Athletic to start his mercenary career.

Before the 2015-16 season, he was loaned to 5 different clubs.

In the 15-16 season, Pope played 24 games for Charlton Athletic in the English Championship, and then the team was relegated.

At the age of 24, he joined Burnley, and with him was the Icelandic national goalkeeper Gwitzmensson, and then he He was substituted.

It was not until September of the 2017-18 season that Manchester City was injured, and he was called on. After his outstanding performance, he joined Newcastle in June of 2022 and kept 14 clean sheets throughout the season. Song is the same as Ramsdale.

Then there is Teng Sheng's trick. Pope suffered a dislocated shoulder and was injured for 4 months. As for the national team, he was considered a late bloomer and was selected for the England squad. Unfortunately, it was difficult for him to have a chance to play.

As a goalkeeper, Zhou Xu's first thought must be to buy, buy, buy.

He was born in the same year as Alisson and is now the starting goalkeeper? According to Zhou Xu's previous life, he should be loaned to a low-level level. , due to the arrival of Zhou Xu, the wings of butterflies flapped. The former main player of Charlton Athletic, John Sullivan, was injured for two months due to a knee sprain. Pope came on and immediately became a starter.

He did not understand and was greatly shocked. This is completely a repeat of the reality script, but this time it is too early.

Pope is not willing to join Notts County. He knows that he cannot take Alisson's starting position, so he chooses to stay at Charlton Athletic as a starter.

"Since you don't come, don't blame me for being unjust."Zhou Xu thought fiercely, I'll hit you 10 times in this game to prevent you from coming.

November 12th, Valley Stadium.

Visiting team locker room

"Today's opponent is Charlton Athletic. Currently, this team ranks third in League One and is our direct competitor for promotion to the Championship.

Their midfielder, 21-year-old Danny Drinkwater, is on loan from Manchester United to Charlton Athletic. Under Charlton Athletic's poor offensive firepower, the English midfielder scored 3 goals and sent 6 assists. Kante, don't let him get the ball.

Forward Paul Hayes, 183cm tall, has a strong aerial threat. Maguire, defend him closely, compete with him in the header, confront him, and never let him receive the ball easily.

Scott Wagstaff, this right winger is not fast, but has a very strong body. He has the most successful physical confrontations in the League One. For this bulldozer, avoid physical confrontation and let him use his right foot, which is his non-dominant foot, to block his left side.

Jason Ewell, the opponent's team's top scorer, is already 35 years old. Go hard on him and show this old man what youthful recklessness is."

After talking about the tactics, Zhou Xu led the players onto the Valley Stadium. The focus of the 18th round of the English League One, Notts County vs. Charlton Athletic, began.

"The game starts, Charlton kicks off. Let's introduce the starting lineups of both teams, etc. Maguire steals the ball, B Fee passes the ball to the side, and Salah is about to start. Through the ball, Vardy successfully counters the offside and has a single shot. Can shoot, dribbling past the goalkeeper. Shoot! The ball goes in. In the 4th minute of the game, Vardy scores a lightning goal and Notts County leads 1:0."

Vardy celebrated passionately with his hands after scoring the goal. This goal was due to Zhou Xu's targeting of Ewell. He lost the ball when he was hit by Maguire's body while dribbling. Charlton's players protested that Maguire had committed a foul when he intercepted the ball. This is England, a league that advocates physical confrontation. The referee indicated that the goal was valid.

Charlton kicked off and it was the same situation again. This time it was Mane who retreated to complete the interception. Robertson received the ball and accelerated to the bottom line. His cross was blocked by the defender and went out of the baseline, resulting in a corner kick.

B Fee took a corner kick and Maguire dunked the ball at the back post. In the 5th minute of the game, only 1 minute after Notts County's last goal, Notts County scored again. The goal was scored by the outstanding Maguire.

" Charlton is worthy of being the third-ranked team in the standings. They showed considerable tenacity. They did not mess up their position even after conceding two goals in less than 5 minutes of the game, and still performed strictly and effectively. tactics"

"Pope, the goalkeeper confiscated Vardy's shot. The goalkeeper who recently won the main position performed well and is said to have attracted many clubs to investigate. Pope's big kick, wow, drove directly to the frontcourt. At two o'clock, Ewell fought for it and the ball came into the penalty area.

Scott Wagstaff suddenly broke out. He caught the ball before Stones and went one-on-one. Facing Alisson, he hit the goal! The ball went in. Charlton tenaciously brought the score back to 1:2. They tenaciously wanted to block Notts County's goal of winning the League One. Come on, Charlton. In the 24th minute of the game, they got a goal back."

This missed ball was entirely due to Pope's personal ability. His big foot passed through almost the entire court and accurately found Ewell who was the fulcrum in front. Ewell did not take credit until he was targeted. Choosing to make a header, Wagstaff, the other forward in the double forward, directly formed a one-man goal. Manning

's change of formation was very effective in this game. The bulldozer Wagstaff directly took away Stones. After receiving the ball, there was nothing he could do. Stones, who was only 17 years old, still suffered from physical confrontation.

In this game, Manning changed his tactics and abandoned the winger, and placed a fulcrum forward and a strong pressing forward in the middle. Behind him was Paul Hayes, who was waiting for an opportunity. Maguire and Stones were a little embarrassed to deal with it.

"Create offside! Maguire, you lead the defense, remember the previous training? Create offside tactics. Kante, try to protect Maguire and Stones behind you as much as possible, which can reduce the number of times you dribble forward."Zhou Xu directed the defense. Before, Notts County's defense was more about Maguire going forward to intercept the opponent's cross, and Stones fell back to defend the ball behind him.

But it was obvious that Stones couldn't stand the impact of the opponent Wagstaff's strong body. Zhou Xu had no choice but to let Stones move forward and let Charlton behind him, hoping to make Charlton's long pass ineffective by creating offside.
