Football nukes: a pound buys a club

The second leg against Notts County is two weeks away, with two League Two games remaining in between.

Bury's lead in League Two is already obvious, so Zhang Chong has already focused on the Johnstone Paints Championship.

This game, which he originally regarded as tasteless, is likely to become his first championship.

In the two games during this period, Zhang Chong also carried out a proper rotation. In these two games, Bury scored one win and one draw, and the points gap with No.2 Rochdale narrowed to [-] points.

The time came to February [-]th, the Johnstone Paints Championship, Bury vs. Notts County.

In this game, Zhang Chong dispatched the full main lineup to try to end the suspense in the first half.

But from the very beginning of the game, it was beyond Zhang Chong's expectations!

Notts County showed extraordinary momentum and determination from the beginning, and the overall formation was pressed very forward, a very typical high position oppression!

In the first 10 minutes, the game was completely one-sided. The Bury boys were completely unable to adapt to Notts County's pressing intensity, and even made several mistakes in the backcourt!

Fortunately, Mendy was in a brave state, and the high block did not rewrite the score.

And Zhang Chong on the sidelines also frowned. How long can Notts County last with such a strong opening?

Now the back line can't even make long passes comfortably, and there is no way for the ball to move to the midfield, let alone the frontcourt!

Moreover, although Notts County is a 442 formation in this game, when they are pressing, their left back often retracts and presses forward, and at the same time the remaining defensive players adjust their positions, becoming an essentially The 352 formation!

In this way, their number of midfielders will have an advantage, and they will firmly control the midfielder in their own hands!

Zhang Chong thought for a moment, and let Mesias retreat to the midfield to prepare to catch the ball, hoping to use his skills to destroy Notts County's oppression.

This trick really had some effect. Mesias broke through the opponent's blockade through his own dribbling and created two good opportunities, but his teammates didn't grasp it.

But Sean Derry, the head coach of Notts County, waved his hand, and the team immediately increased the scale of confrontation and made a fierce tackle on Bury's ball-handling player!

All of a sudden, people were turned on their backs, and Mesias was brought down one after another!

Zhang Chong became anxious immediately: "Referee, yellow card, yellow card!"

But unexpectedly, the referee on duty only gave warnings and did not play cards.

Zhang Chong frowned even tighter, and a scary but familiar term appeared in his mind.

Black whistle!

Did this referee come with a mission?

But he didn't know that this referee mainly enforced League One games and was known for his lax standards.

The head coach of Notts County, Sean Derry, knew the referee very well, so he dared to make such a fierce tackle arrangement.

After Mesias was tackled several times, his footsteps were obviously not as fast as at the beginning, and he seemed to be a little injured.

After a dead ball, Zhang Chong called him to the sidelines, only to find that his socks were faintly oozing blood!

Zhang Chong's expression changed: "No, I have to replace you, otherwise you will suffer a big loss based on the standard of today's game."

Mesias shook his head: "I can still persist, now we are a little passive, and I need to break the situation."

Zhang Chong wanted to say something else, but Mesias patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, boss, I'm such a thief, I can hide if I can't be provoked!"

With that said, he ran back to the arena.

At this time, the game has come to 10 minutes. The Notts County players have gone through the frantic press at the beginning. At this time, their physical strength has declined, and the game has also fallen into a stalemate.

Mesias once again returned to the midfield to respond. After getting the ball, he avoided a defensive player's grab and began to drive the ball straight into the penalty area!

Just when he broke through to the top of the penalty area, a defender suddenly rushed out from the side and tackled him to the ground with the ball!

Mesias screamed and fell to the grass in pain.

Zhang Chong's heart tightened, and he jumped up from the bench: "Red card!"

At the same time, he called Forrest up, ready to warm up and replace Mesias.

Regardless of whether Mesias can persist or not, he will replace him.

This game is so scary!

At this time, the referee only took out a yellow card and warned the opposing player.

This made Zhang Chong very angry: "The yellow card was given for such a big move! I protest!"

The fourth official on the sidelines glanced at him and motioned him not to do anything out of the ordinary.

On the field at this time, Mesias stood up slowly, as if there was no major problem, which made Zhang Chong feel relieved.

However, with sharp eyes, he still clearly saw that Mesias's socks had been stained red with blood!

He hurriedly notified the fourth official: "I want a substitution!"

Can't have Mesias on the pitch anymore!

In the No.401 minute of the first half, Forrester replaced Mesias.

The team doctor helped Mesias to the bench, and gently pulled down the socks. Just such a simple action made Mesias grin his teeth in pain.

Zhang Chong couldn't help but leaned forward, only to find that there was already a big gash on his calf!

This was shoveled out abruptly!

The moment Zhang Chong saw the wound, he felt a rush of blood rushing straight to his forehead.

This action is too big!

Coincidentally, the first half of the game was over at this time, and the score was still zero to zero.

But on the scene, Burry was suppressed miserably. In the first half, he only had one shot, which was not within the range of the goal frame.

In the locker room, Zhang Chong couldn't help being furious: "In the second half, give me strength too! Doesn't the referee ignore it? Let's fight against them too!"

At the beginning of the second half, Bury's boys faced each other and made fierce tackles on the players who took the ball.

However, the game was also fragmented because of this, and the smell of gunpowder between the two sides became more and more intense.

It wasn't until the No.60 minute of the game that Bury's Andrew Tutt was once again shoveled fiercely, and a fierce conflict finally broke out between the two sides.

Klaus rushed up, beat the opponent's foul player, and even pushed him to the ground.

There was chaos on the field.

At this moment, the referee remembered that he had a red card, and directly showed the red card to Klaus and the opponent's foul player!

The red card stimulated the players on both sides, and they gradually calmed down the conflict.

Krause looked at the referee in disbelief and protested loudly.

Captain Suarez rushed over in time and persuaded him to leave the court.

If he doesn't end obediently, he may be included in the referee's report and may be suspended!

After five or six minutes of chaos, the game restarted.

And Andrew Tutt has been injured and unable to persist in the game.

After the restart, the players on both sides hardly put their minds on the court, and each other had no offensive routines at all.

In the 708th minute of the game, Notts County caught Bury's backcourt error and scored!

Notts County lead [-]-[-] away!

Since Bury won [-]-[-] away, they still have the advantage of away goals. Notts County must score another goal if they want to advance.

But this goal gave them hope, their morale was boosted, and Bury was suppressed in the half again!
