Chapter 925: No Substitution Quota
Just when Notts County's offensive was about to overwhelm Chelsea, a shocking accident happened on the field.
Several teammates cooperated quickly and smoothly in a small area. Kaka led the ball into the penalty area and was about to get a chance to kick the goal, but Ballack, who was constantly pestering him beside him, kept squeezing The middle shoulder exerted force and knocked down Kaka.
Although Ballack spread his hands to indicate that he had not fouled, the referee awarded a penalty kick without hesitation and gave Ballack a yellow card.
Ballack and Kaka are in the same position, and the ball is still within Kaka's control. There is no dispute that Ballack was fouled. Even if he was given a red card, it would not be too much. The referee has shown mercy.
However, this foul caused Kaka to dislocate his arm when he fell, and was unable to get up while lying on the lawn. The teammates didn't notice it at first, but just after celebrating the penalty kick, they felt that something was wrong, so they realized that they were lying on the ground. Kaka.
The team doctor and a stretcher quickly entered the field and carried Kaka outside the field for examination and simple treatment. At this time, Heynckes had received the news that Kaka would not be able to continue playing in this game!
No one thought that such an accident would happen at this time, but usually anything can happen on the football field, no matter how big an accident is, it is not unheard of, Heynckes still tried to calm himself down, and turned around to let Ozi I went to warm up.
The Notts County players were concerned about Kaka's injury and seemed a little absent-minded, while the referee urged Notts County to take the penalty kick quickly.
Chelsea's goalkeeper Hilario was already nervous. After Chelsea's main and substitute goalkeepers were injured one after another, he became Chelsea's goalkeeper. However, this fantasy also means heavier responsibilities, which he is obviously not ready for.
Fortunately, his performance has been quite satisfactory. Although there is nothing special about him, he will not be the one who is holding back. I believe that after this successful season, even if he transfers and leaves, he will still be able to get a good contract.
But now it really seems to be roasting him on the fire, because he is about to face a penalty kick from Notts County. If the penalty is scored, Notts County will take the lead and may win the game. One defeat could bring about the collapse of the entire season.
With so much responsibility on his shoulders, Hilario felt a little out of breath.
On the Notts County side, Villa and Alonso discussed it, and in the end Villa stood in front of the penalty spot, and he will take the penalty.
As a super shooter, Villa's shooting skills are unparalleled in the world, and he is able to take penalty kicks with his feet. Hilario felt that he really didn't have the courage to face Villa. Already timid.
The Magpie Stadium was silent, and the fans held their breath, waiting for Villa to take the penalty kick. Perhaps the moment the goal was scored, the cheers could resound through the sky.
Villa did not pay attention to Chelsea's No. 3 goalkeeper in front of him. His opponent was Petr Cech, not him.
However, the sure-fire penalty kick was blasted into the sky by Villa, and Villa also fell to the ground. The slow-motion playback showed that when Villa was exerting force, his supporting foot slipped.
Chelsea goalkeeper Hilario seemed to have gone through a reincarnation from hell to heaven, sweating all over his body.
Villa's expression was also surprised with disbelief. He really didn't expect that he would miss the penalty at such a critical moment.
There was a sigh of disappointment at the Magpies Stadium, but then there was a tidy applause. Even if Villa didn't score a penalty, he was still a Notts County hero.
Villa felt a little embarrassed to face his teammates, but although it was a pity not to be able to lead Chelsea, his teammates didn't take it seriously.
In fact, the impact of not scoring a penalty is not necessarily great. After all, Notts County has an absolute advantage. Chelsea will never dare to play against Notts County rashly. So they still have a lot of opportunities to play against Chelsea. Goal threat.
It can be seen from the current situation that, at least for now, Notts County is still stronger than Chelsea. Perhaps this explanation is not very reasonable, but it is the case.
There is no doubt that Chelsea is strong, but when facing strong teams, there are not many ways to do it. In fact, Chelsea also had similar problems last season, while Notts County is completely different. Their strong and complicated offensive system is enough to make They are unstoppable against any opponent.
Although Chelsea escaped, they still have to face a series of fierce offensives from Notts County. If they are lucky, they may be able to hold the score until the end of the game and leave the Magpies Stadium with a draw. , I'm afraid the goal is really difficult to defend.
As Notts County threatened to attack again and again, David's heart also became tense. This feeling of extreme anticipation for scoring has not appeared for a long time.
But today, the goddess of fate does not seem to be on the side of Notts County. Ramos accidentally strained his thigh during a sideline save and was unable to persist in the game. After Kaka, Notts County This is the second time in a game that a player has been injured and retired.
The most critical problem is that Notts County has no substitutions!
When Ramos was receiving treatment on the sidelines, Notts County could only fight with 10 people on the field, which finally gave Chelsea a chance to breathe. Chelsea gradually moved forward, slowly regained lost ground, and gained a foothold in the midfield.
After inspection, Ramos must not be able to persist in the game, and Notts County has no way to maintain a complete lineup.
"Sir, let me go back to the field, even if I stand in front of the goal and block the opponent's shot!" Ramos sat on the stretcher and said anxiously to Heynckes.
However, Heynckes ignored the noisy Ramos at all, and just watched the situation on the field nervously. Notts County may not be able to continue to suppress Chelsea if there is one less man to fight. Therefore, the next Notts County strategy must be change.
As a result, Yaya Toure retreated to the right back, and Ozil also retreated to the midfielder position. In the confrontation with Chelsea, Notts County's first task is to maintain the formation and not give Chelsea an opportunity.
David and Heynckes felt the same, it was a leaky house and it was raining all night. Originally, Chelsea was lagging behind in the standings. This game was the best time to chase points, but they did not expect two players in a row Injuries ruined a good start for Notts County.
In the last 20 minutes, not to mention whether Notts County can score a goal, it can be considered a success if it can be guaranteed not to be scored by Chelsea.
Fortunately, Klinsmann was more cautious than Heynckes imagined. Although Notts County had one less player on the field, Chelsea did not have a large army. Perhaps for them, they could take away a draw from the Magpies Stadium , not being narrowed the points gap is the best result.
As a result, Notts County and Chelsea drew again this season, with no winners. (To be continued.)
