Chapter 501: The Derby of the Past and Present

Because Notts County is playing at home, David still instructs the visiting team not to give Nottingham Forest even a single ticket. His reason is very high-sounding. He is afraid that the terrifying derby atmosphere will cause accidents in the stands!

The last time Notts County was punished by the FA for not giving away tickets, but this time David still insisted on going his own way. Fine, how much can you fine if you open it up?

In David's mind, the stands are full of Notts County fans, watching his team ravage the rivals in the same city, what a beautiful thing!

David's old friend Daugherty has already learned to be good. He knows that no matter what, Notts County is in a strong position now. Even if it is a war of words, he can't beat David himself, so before this game, he was honest and honest. Didn't come out to find something to draw hatred.

David didn't bother to embarrass the old guy. For David, he didn't have the excitement of the fans. In his heart, this game was just an ordinary three-point game!

Because three days later, I will go to Greece to play the second round of the Champions League group stage. It is a very important game. If Notts can get all three points away, then the qualifying situation will be very favorable, so in this game Derby, Loew sent most of the rotation players.

The manager of Nottingham Forest was speechless when he looked at Notts County's starting lineup. If he could hand over Notts County's starting rotation to him, he would be confident that he would be able to play a good result in the Premier League. That is to say, now Nottingham Forest's lineup is no match for Notts County's bench lineup, this game is really unplayable!

Anyway, it is an away game, and it is against an opponent like Notts County. As long as it can not lose, it is the biggest victory. As for winning, it can only happen in dreams.

The atmosphere of the derby is still very intense, but for most of the players in the two teams, they are outsiders, but they don't have too many hostile concepts in their hearts. Maybe only the fans in the stands will care so much. Bar!

For the players of Nottingham Forest, it is not necessary to surrender directly in front of Notts County. After all, everyone is a Premier League team. Even if Notts County is stronger, they are not bad. If you dare to say that you can do it. win?

So at the beginning of the game, Nottingham Forest played very aggressive and tenacious.

However, with their near-bottom relegation strength in the league, maybe the three-axes have some power, but when Notts County enters the state of the game, they will be completely suppressed!

Watching the players are slowly being pushed back to the half and the defense line is gradually retreating, the manager of Nottingham Forest is still very happy, at least this way the team can concentrate fully on defense, if lucky,

Can you really hold a draw?

You must know that someone has done this before and succeeded, and today's Notts County lineup is a big rotation lineup, and its strength is absolutely incomparable with the main lineup. In this way, wouldn't they have a greater chance?

But after a few minutes, Notts County made two consecutive storms to let the Nottingham Forest coach know that he was too happy!

In this situation of dealing with intensive defense, Villa can only play a more involved role on the field, or rely on the midfielder's long-range shots as the main goal scoring method. After all, Villa is not capable of attacking tough battles. The tyrant who destroys the city and pulls out the village.

But the problem is, Notts County is playing Drogba now. This guy with a body as strong as a tank simply ignores Nottingham Forest's back line and can stand in position with a slight squeeze. Nottingham Forest's defensive players take There was nothing he could do.

And as long as Notts County's pass can hit him, whether it is directly attacking the goal or making the ball to a teammate, the defender is helpless. Every attack can cause a huge threat, although the two storms did not end up. Succeeded, but Nottingham Forest's goal is already in a turmoil.

The defender of Nottingham Forest could not withstand the impact of Drogba. If this situation continues, it will be a matter of conceding the ball sooner or later, and if one is scored, it will be impossible to stop it later!

The helpless coach of the visiting team did not care that the game had not yet started, so he directly adjusted the personnel, removed a fast horse forward who was preparing to counterattack, replaced a tall central defender, and began to play three central defenders. play.

If two central defenders can't stand you, then I will go to three central defenders!

One is holding his legs, the other is pressing his shoulders, and the other is picking up the ball to grab the header. In such a siege, the Nottingham coach does not believe that Drogba has three heads and six arms. If he can still create a huge threat under such strict marking, then Luo Ba really don't play in the Premier League, go directly to the Universe League to compete with the Martians! The earth can't hold him anymore!

In terms of defense, the adjustment of the Nottingham coach is effective. At least Drogba is difficult to stand in the penalty area as easily as before under the entanglement of the three people, and the success rate of headers has dropped by more than half. , But the consequence of this adjustment is that Nottingham Forest even has no point to counterattack, Notts County does not need to worry about the back line at all, and even the central defender is near the midfield, which has completely turned into a pure half-court offensive and defensive drill.

Notts County has never encountered such a situation. When they were in the League One, because of their strength, many opponents had to make such a move when they faced Notts County. However, after being promoted to the Premier League, they were very difficult Rarely does such a scene occur.

Let's not say whether we can score or not, it's really cool to play like this!

Loew stood on the sidelines and frowned. Although Notts County does not need to worry about being counterattacked, if the situation is delayed, it will definitely be easy to breed impatience for the large number of young players in the current rotation. Emotions come, and thus enter a vicious circle. At that time, I am afraid that the game will really be like this!

Drogba was tortured enough by the opponent's three central defenders. It is estimated that when he came off the court, he was covered in bruises. It is hopeless to expect him to play a pivotal role in the penalty area.

Let the central defender position in the penalty area in advance?

Loew soon gave up on this idea. Whether Gary Cahill or Ramos, who appeared at the center back today, although both tall, his confrontation ability is not his strength. In the crowded penalty area, I am afraid it is also very Hard to do much.

Otherwise, try to make more breakthroughs. Although it is different from the many free-kick masters in the rotation last season, only Mendieta's free-kick level is good, but usually a team has a free-kick master. Enough is enough, too much is useless, so Loew went to the sidelines and instructed the players to strengthen the breakthrough of the threat area! (To be continued.)
