Chapter 252 How Did You Fall?
It doesn't matter if Southampton's formation is recovered, Notts County can still continue to make a fuss on the wing, but this time it is not a counterattack, but a full-back assist.
Regardless of whether Abidal or Ramos, the assist ability of the two is somewhat different from that of the main players, but they will not hold back, and they can take it at critical moments.
After Iniesta and Babel consciously approached the middle, the two full-backs gradually began to dominate the entire wing.
In this way, although Notts County has become a positional attack, only one center from Villa is at the forefront, but there are three players in the penalty area, and Meireles outside the penalty area can continue to maintain pressure. , but let Notts County's wing attack open.
Either cut inside and shoot directly, or make a 45-degree cross, or make an inverted triangle pass to a teammate in front of the penalty area, no matter which option you choose, you can make full use of the power of the wing attack.
It's just that Notts County currently does not have a strong center, otherwise this set of tactics will be more perfect.
Loew is also thinking about this issue, asking the chairman to ask for a center, at least it can play a tactical role, can't always use a few center backs as a center!
As Notts County gradually took the initiative on the field, Southampton could only shrink back. For this reason, they also felt that the defense line was crumbling. In the face of Notts County's unreasonable wing attack, they flew on both sides. many.
The offense can no longer be attacked. Notts County's defensive midfielder can make their offense come back in vain; the defense also feels unstoppable. Now Notts County is just a finalized goal. Southampton can only Resist as best you can.
Before the championship trophy, what kind of face does Southampton need? Victory is face, so the Southampton coach who doesn't have many choices directly let the players play the bus in the penalty area. Ball war, then the opportunity for Southampton came.
Such a low profile has already been made by Southampton when facing giant teams such as Manchester United. Now it is a bit bizarre and shocking to appear in front of a League One team.
But the pressure on Notts County is real, and maybe the fans in front of the TV can't see it, but at the scene, the fans in the stands will really feel it.
Once again facing the opponent's conservative tactics, the players in Notts County are not in a hurry. After all, in the league, they have encountered the same scene too many times. The only difference is that Southampton is far stronger than them. The opponents in the League One, so even if they put on the bus, they must have a more accent, that's all.
Notts County's possession rate has risen sharply,
Shooting numbers also rose sharply, beginning to overwhelm Southampton across the board.
Notts County fans and neutral fans in the stands began to boo Southampton's conservativeness, while Southampton fans couldn't hold their heads up and were even more angry.
I originally thought that coming to Wales would be to witness the team easily crush Notts County and then win the championship, and directly participate in the championship celebration, but I didn't expect that, let's not talk about the final result, you are still so conservative in the face of a League One team?
Don't even face it!
As a result, there were only the voices of Notts County fans in the stands, and Cardiff Millennium Stadium was close to becoming Notts County's home ground.
No matter how fans look at it, victory and championship are more important than face. They are not a giant anyway, and they don't care if they have or not.
Time passed with the wind a little bit, and Notts County's attack became more and more breathless for Southampton. The only thing that supported them was willpower.
When the fourth official raised the display card for 4 minutes of stoppage time on the sidelines, the Southampton coach rushed to protest angrily, but it had no effect on the result, and finally he could only leave angrily.
The Saints players on the field know the coach's mind, and now all they need to do is delay time, so they can fall to the ground frequently.
These little tricks Notts County may also use at critical moments, but when it comes to themselves, they will definitely not tolerate others practicing under their noses, so facing the fallen Saints players, they all pull up directly. thing, but seemed helpless.
They also need every second to attack.
Iniesta's pass hung directly into the penalty area, Di Natale took the lead in the header, and when he was disturbed and had no chance to attack, he chose to ferry the ball to the back point.
However, the ball flew a little high, and Babel could only head the ball with the opponent's full-back. The two jumped high at the same time. The Dutch winger's head touched the ball first, pushing the ball to the front of the middle of the penalty area.
The moment he landed, he found that the Southampton full-back, who was fighting for the header with him, was lying on the ground and clutching his head in pain. He couldn't help but be confused.
Although I had physical contact with him, I didn't touch his head at all!
Several surrounding Southampton players looked at him with bad expressions, as if they were doing something malicious.
But before he could think about it, the ball he headed to the middle of the penalty area was volleyed towards the goal by Meireles, who was slapping the horse.
Like a cannonball, the ball passed the bus in front of Southampton, passed the Saints goalkeeper's defense, and blew directly into Southampton's goal.
The audience was silent, but two seconds later, two completely different voices appeared.
One side is the cheers of Notts County fans, and the other side is the piercing boos of Saints fans, combined, it seems that they can burst eardrums at any time.
Meirelles roared out, slammed off his jersey and ran to the stands where the Notts County fans were, with an indescribable ghastly expression on his face.
Other Notts County teammates also ran over excitedly to celebrate the goal. It has entered stoppage time. This is a lore goal.
However, a controversy arose at this time. Although the referee blew his whistle to signal that the goal was valid, the Saints players angrily surrounded the referee for theories, and saliva splashed on the referee's face.
"Sir, this goal should not be counted. Our players fell to the ground with injuries, and the game should be stopped. Even if you didn't see it, Notts County players should take the initiative to stop the game instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to score!" The captain of the Saints pushed aside several teammates who seemed to be able to rage and beat the referee at any time, and stood in front of the referee to explain, hoping to be treated fairly.
At this time, the players from Notts County only saw this scene not far away, and they didn't care about celebrating the goal. They quickly gathered to put pressure on the referee, and they must not let the goal they got fly again. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
