Chapter 270 The Missing Link

Porto, who had one less battle, shrank their defense, and they also managed to keep the current score until the end of the first half.

"There should be no suspense in the game. Even if I don't understand it well, I can feel that the two teams are not on the same level. It's really strange!" Quan Zhixian asked a little puzzled.

Before the game, she learned that David's Notts County is a second-tier league team, and Porto is a well-known club in Europe, but after half-time, why does it seem to be the exact opposite of what David said?

Did David lie to himself?

David didn't know how to answer this question, Jun Zhixian.

Judging from the current strength of the two teams, they should be considered to be evenly matched. Notts County is stronger in offense and Porto is stronger in defense. The two teams face each other head-to-head. What needs to be seen is the on-the-spot performance, and no one dares to say that it is necessary. Victory grasp.

But today's wonderful start is completely unexpected. Even if we play a hundred games, the same situation may not happen.

As for the opponent being sent off, it is even more incredible. God knows if he forgot to take his medicine in the morning.

"Although I am very confident in the strength of Notts County, for this first half, I can only say that it was an accident!"

Quan Zhixian nodded in understanding, but still looked blank.

During the intermission, although David was chatting with Quan Zhixian, his mind was not on it at all. In the key finals, the key championships, David felt that he was a little worried about gains and losses.

And Quan Zhixian also seemed to see David's absent-mindedness. When she thought about the importance of this game, she didn't pay any attention. Instead, she observed everything in the football field with great interest. All of this seemed very to her. novel.

The second half started quickly, with only 45 minutes to go before Notts County's first UEFA Cup trophy in the club's history, provided Porto did not equalise in that time.

Porto's formation has become 4131. Although no personnel adjustments have been made, and the formation has not changed much after sending one person off, the positions of these three lines have retreated significantly, and it seems that the defense will be carried out to the end.

No changes have taken place in the staff of Notts County. After all, they are leading the score. Loew can calmly wait for Porto to make a move. You know, Porto can't win the championship when defending alone.

In fact, Mourinho's careful thinking,

Loew has already figured it out. It is nothing more than defending the first 80 minutes, and then showing his fangs at the last moment to fight a wave. Going into extra time or a penalty shootout, that's what they really need.

The premise of this strategy is not to concede the ball. If the difference in the score is two goals, then there will be no so-called sprint in the final period.

The rhythm of Notts County's attack is very well grasped, and it is not aimed at the ultimate lethality.

In the 70th minute of the game, Loew felt that Notts County's suppression of Porto had been very successful, and no goal was scored, indicating that the details of the last kick were not enough, so he was the first to make adjustments.

Enter Di Natale, enter Villa!

This is a counterpoint adjustment. Although the overall qualities of the two strikers are similar, Villa's ability to grab points is better, so Loew hopes that Villa can give full play to his advantages and help Notts County lock in. victory.

When Di Natale came off, the Notts County fans in the stands unanimously applauded the Italian striker. Even if Di Natale did not score in this game, it was enough for them to pay homage.

After the substitution adjustment, Notts County's offense began to slowly penetrate from the ribs to the middle, and the players also knew Loew's intention to make personnel adjustments.

As Porto's substitute for Carvalho, Emmanuel's performance is still stable, but it is far from reaching the height of Carvalho. In the process of closely guarding Villa, mistakes in small details continue, always Can let the slippery Villa get a shot.

Compared to this time, Porto's players should miss Carvalho, who used to be the Dinghaishenzhen on the back line.

Thinking that the team's real midfield core Deco will also play for Notts County next season, is Notts County, a team that should continue to hang out in League One, really Porto's nemesis?

Perhaps it was overwhelmed by the real strength of Notts County, or Porto's tactics were just like that. Notts County were besieging Porto for a long time in the second half.

In the face of the real defensive giants, Notts County seems to have some shortcomings. David can't see it very clearly, but Loew knows it well, especially through this game, he clearly realized this.

Notts County is short of a star who can really move forward in the middle, whether it's sending the ball forward or simply dribbling it forward.

Such a player can make the opponent's defense unstoppable, but Notts County lacks such a player.

In fact, David did not think that there are several players with such a strong ability in his previous life.

One is Messi, his breakthrough can do this, and the other is Ozil, 272 through balls can also have the same effect, which no one else can do.

In the current team, Sneijder has the ability to pass straight balls in the frontcourt, but he is not yet at the top of the world. Messi is not bad. After all, he has come to the youth training camp of Notts County. Talent, the future will certainly be able to reach the height it should be.

Loew frowned on the sidelines. Although the score was ahead, he still couldn't take it lightly. It wouldn't be over until the end of the game.

It is the best result to score a goal as soon as possible and lock in the victory, but after being surrounded and attacking for so long, Porto has not lost a single hair.

It's no fun if Porto steals a chicken!

After pondering for a while, Loew gave new instructions to the players on the field. They stopped attacking and handed over the initiative to Porto. There are space constraints. With Porto's attack, I am afraid that they cannot really threaten Notts County. goal.

Soon, Porto players, who have been busy defending, will choose good opportunities to shoot when they have the chance. Although the troops may not be invested much, the threat is huge.

Notts County needs to pay attention to the rear defense while planning. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
