Chapter 187 Complete Victory and Promotion
"I really don't understand how we lost three goals in the first half of the last game!"
During the intermission, several players chatted in the locker room in a relaxed atmosphere. According to the situation in the first half, the opponent's strength is actually the same. Although it is considered a strong team, it is definitely not capable. Even the strength of Notts County's three goals, however, the fact is so born. ≧ 1≧≥Fiction ≦≦
"It doesn't matter so much, anyway, the second half is played normally, and it's enough to win the game. Let it pass by what happened before!"
At this time, Loew also walked into the locker room and began to arrange tactics for the second half.
Now the total score of the two teams has become a tie, and Notts County also has an away goal. That is to say, if both sides do nothing in the second half, Notts County will eliminate Celtic and advance to the top 32, so , The Celtics, who are in an unfavorable situation, are destined to devote more energy to the offense in the second half.
In this way, Notts County can take advantage of the opponent's mentality, retract appropriately, and wait for an opportunity to fight back. As long as one can be reached, the game will almost lose its suspense.
Notts County's counterattack is quite astonishing. Once it takes shape, there are several arrows in the frontcourt. If there is no special defense, it is really difficult to resist.
How did Notts County's usual big score come about?
After an advanced goal, the opponent must counter-attack, and then Notts County counter-attacks, a hit is accurate, the big score is like this.
Sure enough, back on the court in the second half, the Celtics really stepped up their offense. After all, it doesn't make any sense to keep the score until the end. If you don't attack, you will die.
Notts County has a completely different mentality. The game has entered their favorite state, and they are still the dominant side. This kind of football is really very comfortable to play.
Notts County's defense is no problem, the two midfielders are sitting in the middle to sweep, and the two side midfielders are also desperately pressing in parallel. It is difficult for the Celtics to attack directly and effectively through this line.
No way, the Celtics can only use their best long pass and rushing tactic. After all, it is also a British team. This kind of tactic has been deeply rooted.
The two forwards of the Celtics can definitely not be underestimated, especially Larson. In Europe, his ability to grab points is enough to rank in the forefront, so the Celtics changed their tactics in this way. It was causing Notts County to be in a hurry for a while.
As soon as the change of tactics was effective, Martin O'Neal immediately sent another center forward.
Playing a simple and crude tactic of three centers in the penalty area, if there is no striker available on the bench, even four strikers are not impossible.
The situation is passive, and Loew can only make adjustments in response, replacing Ram and replacing Lescott. In this way, the opponent's three centers are also marked by special personnel, and the air defense of these three defenders is The ability is also very strong, at least able to stabilize the situation.
By destroying the first landing point and controlling the second landing point, Notts County's counterattack can be played out.
Whether it is Iniesta or Kuyt on the right, they have strong individual combat capabilities, plus the terrifying cross from the left defender Leighton Baines, and Villa and Snee who grab the spot in the middle. Dedu can always threaten Celtic's goal.
This kind of counterattack was played twice, and the Celtics did not dare to press the army.
Although it is important to score a goal as soon as possible, if the rear falls, then everything will have to start all over again, which is useless!
Such a game is really depressing for them.
Time passed slowly, and the game was already 7o minutes into the second half in the blink of an eye, and the Celtics' situation became more and more tense.
The two sides made substitutions and adjustments at this point in time. The Celtics replaced the defensive midfielder and replaced the defensive midfielder. The purpose was very clear. Extra organization is needed, and the replacement of the defensive midfielder is to increase the sweeping area on the midfielder line, thereby curbing Notts County's counterattack.
And Notts County replaced Iniesta, replaced Ribery with stronger impact ability, and also made the article of counterattack on the wing.
This score is not safe for Notts County. After all, although the opponent's tactical play has a very low success rate, as long as an unexpected success is enough to make Notts County fall into the abyss, so after killing the opponent's momentum , the attack can be properly enhanced.
The game was extremely fierce. Although there were no ups and downs, the battle of wits and courage between the two sides made people fascinated.
In the 81st minute of the game, Notts County finally seized the opportunity to counterattack. Leighton Baines's cross directly bypassed the defense at the front point, and Sneijder slipped the ball into the goal. , locked the score at 3:o.
In the end, Notts County defeated Celtic at home and advanced to the top 32 of the UEFA Cup with a total score of 4:3.
"Congratulations!" The chairman of the Celtics congratulated David sourly with an ugly face. Everyone could see that this congratulation was very contrary to his intentions.
But David doesn't care about that, as long as the team wins.
"What a wonderful game! But the Celtics are still very strong, it doesn't matter, there is still a chance next year! I hope the Celtics can still have the fighting power they are today!" David said with a strange smile.
He knows that if history does not change, after this season, Larsson will move to Barcelona and become a member of the Catalan giants, while the other major players in the Celtic team have also lost one. Criticism, it is fundamentally difficult to match today's courage.
But who knows what will happen tomorrow, after all, the Celtics were eliminated by Notts County, but they did not reach the UEFA Cup final like in the previous life, and the attention of this group of players will also be greatly reduced.
At this time, the players of Notts County are celebrating the victory of the game, celebrating their promotion, celebrating the birth of a new record for Notts County, or in other words, every League Cup is creating Notts County History.
Notts County's victory suddenly stunned the media and fans who were not optimistic about Notts County before the game.
You know, Notts County lost the game 1:3 on the road. Although from the history of the UEFA Cup, it is not uncommon to lose the game by this score in the first round and regain it in the second round, but this probability But it's really too small.
And judging from the situation of the round, the gap between the two teams should be obvious. Why did Notts County lose their temper so easily?
Is this a match-fix?
Conspiracy theorists have all sorts of abnormal reasons already brewing in their minds. (To be continued.)
