Chapter Five Hundred and Seventeen Pioneers

? In fact, Notts County has always been a bit weak in the configuration of the striker. Of course, this is compared to other clubs, which often have 4-5 forwards, and Notts County has always insisted that there are only two forwards.

Loew's tactics are mainly 4231, sometimes it will become 433, and sometimes he will even use a strikeless formation, so he usually only has one playing position.

Just like any other position, one main, one rotation, normally enough for an entire season.

The reason there are only two strikers is because there was a winger who was born as a real striker, Kuyt, and he could play in the striker position when he had to, and how could he cope with it.

But it is different now. Kuyt went to Liverpool, but Notts County has no player who can play as a striker. Even if they play without a striker, the most suitable pseudo-center Kaka is still injured. That is to say, in addition to Villa, Notts County have no one available in the forward position.

Loew has already made up his mind and will discuss with David immediately that the Notts County striker must not have only two genuine strikers next season.

However, the first thing that needs to be overcome is the immediate difficulties. Villa can't handle it alone, and there are still a few games Villa is estimated to be unable to play. Notts County urgently needs a striker to come up.

The first option is to tap the potential within the first team, and select a panacea player who can be a pseudo-center from among the players to temporarily replace two games.

Kaka can't play, and it is estimated that only Cazorla can give it a try. The Spanish midfielder has good speed and skills. As a panacea in the team, he has played almost any position in the midfield and frontcourt, but he has never played. over the striker

The transfer window has already closed, and it is impossible to temporarily find someone from the transfer market to make up for the pot;

The last option is to pick an outstanding striker from the academy, which is in line with the tradition of Notts County, but Low is a little afraid to report too much hope.

Rick Link is definitely a competent youth training director. Those who have the strength to enter the first team in the youth training camp have already recommended them to Loew. As for those who are not up to the standard of the Notts County first team, they have also been loaned After going out, I want to Taobao from the youth training camp again, I really don’t have much hope.

However, with the mentality of trying it out, Loew went to the youth training base after training, but he did not directly go to see the training of the young players, but went directly to Rick Link.

He hoped that Rick Link would recommend him a suitable candidate, and then he would investigate, which would save a lot of trouble.

"What, you need a striker to be promoted to the first team temporarily?" After Ricklink learned of Loew's purpose,

I was a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, I understood the reason. Drogba was suspended, and Villa alone could not stand such an intensive schedule.

Although I am glad that Loew can focus on the youth training camp, Ricklink still smiles helplessly, because there is really no suitable candidate for the youth training camp in Notts County!

"Yuah, you know, if a young player really has the strength to enter the first team, I can't recommend it to you." Rick Link sighed: "There is an 88-year-old striker, although not yet. Reaching the strength of entering the first team, but it is no problem to play a few games temporarily, but he is a non-EU player and has no way to obtain a labor certificate, so it is definitely not possible. There are still two forwards in 1989. They It's a little too young, not everyone is as enchanting as Rooney, and at the age of 15, he is as strong as a calf!"

Sure enough, Loew also looked helpless, he knew the result might be like this.

The 88-year-old striker he has also paid attention to before. He is a Polish. After this season, David plans to loan him to a satellite club to get a labor certificate. Now he can't play for Notts County at all. It's too young to really send elementary school students out!

Loew, who didn't get good news from the youth training camp, could only find David and complained about the problems he was facing. Not to mention whether David could solve it, at least give him some comfort!

David also felt that he had indeed made a mistake in the team's configuration. If the configuration of the two forwards was not a problem, there would be no problem, but how can professional players completely avoid the invasion of injuries? , especially a striker, who often needs to physically confront opponents and has a higher chance of injury.

Really need to add a striker next season!

However, the team's immediate problems still need to be solved. Since it is impossible to sign, it can only tap the potential internally!

"How many games do you estimate need to have other players temporarily appear on the striker position?" David thought about it and asked Loew.

Loew had already made up his mind and started talking to David: "The next match against Monaco will definitely require Villa, and we need this victory; a week later, it will be the fifth round of the League Cup, and this game will also be played. We can let Villa play, on the one hand, there will be enough time to recover his fitness, on the other hand, if we can eliminate our opponents, we will be able to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup, and we can definitely try to win the League Cup.”

"And then there's the league game at home against West Brom, which requires someone to be on the front line temporarily."

"If we can beat Monaco in the next game, then the last Champions League group game can be played by the reserves, and this one is nothing to worry about."

"The next league game against Newcastle Villa can be played, but then the league with Liverpool, just in time for the award ceremony of the European Ballon d'Or, Villa will definitely not be able to play, so there needs to be temporary players. on top."

"And then there is the league against Arsenal. The game is on the day before the World Footballer's Award ceremony. I'm afraid Villa still won't be able to play."

"After this game, Drogba ended the suspension and can play, so at least someone has to play as a striker for three games, and this is on the premise that Villa is not affected by injuries. If Villa is also injured, then Just stop playing!"

After Loew finished speaking, he drank coffee on his own, leaving David time to think.

David stood at the window and thought for a while, had an idea in his mind, and then started talking to Love.

"If you play 433 without a striker, then you have no other choice than Cazorla, although he has never played a striker, but it's just a matter of habit, in the next period of training, you can try to make him appear. In this position, I think with his adaptability, he should be competent!"

"Of course, you have a second choice, which is to use a defender as a center. You have not used this tactic before. I think Ramos is a good choice. If you have skills, he is also a defender, and he has a good sense of grabbing points. The most important thing is that he still has a good header, so it is not good for him to play as a center for a long time, but I believe there is no problem in making a few temporary cameos!"

Hearing this, Loew's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became enlightened! (To be continued.)
