Chapter 187 Winning and advancing
"I really don't understand how we lost three goals in the first half of the last game!"
During the halftime break, several players chatted in a relaxed atmosphere in the locker room. Judging from the situation in the first half, the opponent's strength is actually the same. Although it is considered a strong team, it definitely does not have it. The strength of notts County's three goals in a row, however, the fact happened.
"It doesn't matter so much, anyway, the second half is played normally, and it is enough to win the game. Let it go as it was before!"
At this time, Loew also walked into the locker room and began to arrange the tactics for the second half.
Now the total score of the two teams has become a tie, and Notts County still has an away goal, that is to say, if both sides do nothing in the second half, then Notts County will eliminate the Celtics and advance to the top 32, so , The Celtics, who are in an unfavorable situation, are destined to devote more energy to offense in the second half.
In this way, Notts County can take advantage of the opponent's mentality, retreat appropriately, and wait for an opportunity to fight back. As long as one can be achieved, the suspense of this game will almost be lost.
Notts County's counterattack speed is quite astonishing. Once it is formed, it will be really difficult to resist if there are no special defenses.
How did Notts County's usual big score come about?
After a goal was advanced, the opponent must counterattack, and then Notts County counterattacked, one hit and one accurate, and this is how the big score came.
Sure enough, when they returned to the court in the second half, the Celtics really stepped up their offense. After all, it doesn't make any sense to keep the score until the end. If they don't attack, they will die.
The mentality of Notts County is completely different. The game has entered their favorite state, and they are still the dominant side. This kind of football is really very comfortable.
Notts County's defense is no problem. The two defensive midfielders sit in the middle to sweep, and the two full-backs also stand in parallel and desperately press. It is difficult for the Celtics' offense to pass this line directly and effectively.
There is no way, the Celtics can only adopt their best long pass tactics. After all, they are considered a British team, and such tactics have been deeply rooted in their bones.
The ability of the Celtics' two forwards to grab points should not be underestimated, especially Larson. His ability to grab points in Europe is also enough to rank in the forefront, so the Celtics have changed their tactics. It made Notts County a little flustered for a while.
Seeing that the change of tactics was effective, Martin O'Neill immediately sent another center forward, and played a simple and rough tactic of three centers in the penalty area. If it weren't for the fact that there were no forwards available on the bench, it would not be impossible to have four forwards. .
The situation is passive, and Love can only make responsive adjustments, replacing Ram and Lescott. In this way, the opponent's three centers are also marked by special personnel, and the three defenders' air defense The ability is also very strong, at least able to stabilize the situation.
By destroying the first landing point and controlling the second landing point, Notts County's counterattack can be launched.
Whether it's Iniesta or the right-sided Dirk, they all have strong individual combat capabilities, plus left back Leighton Baines' terrifying cross, and Villa and Sneaker in the middle. Dedu can always threaten the Celtics' goal.
After such a counterattack twice, the Celtics did not dare to press on with a large army.
Although it is important to score goals as soon as possible, if the rear loses, then everything will have to start all over again, there is no use!
Such a game is really depressing for them.
Time passed slowly, and the game had already reached 70 minutes in the second half, and the situation of the Celtics became more and more tense.
The two sides made substitution adjustments at this point in time. The Celtics replaced the organizational midfielder with a purely defensive midfielder. Extra organization is needed, and the defensive midfielder is replaced to increase the sweeping area on the midfielder line, so as to curb Notts County's counterattack.
Notts County replaced Iniesta with Ribery, who has a stronger impact ability, and also made the counterattack article on the wing.
This score is not safe for Notts County. After all, although the opponent's tactics have a very low success rate, just one unexpected success is enough to make Notts County fall into the abyss, so after killing the opponent's momentum , the offense can be properly enhanced.
The match was extremely fierce. Although there were no ups and downs, the battle of wits and courage between the two sides was mesmerizing to watch.
In the 81st minute of the game, Notts County finally seized a chance to counterattack. Leighton Bynes' cross directly bypassed the defense at the front point, and Sneijder slid the ball into the goal at the back point , locked the score at 3:0.
In the end, Notts County defeated the Celtics at home and advanced to the top 4 of the UEFA Cup with a total score of 3:32.
"Congratulations!" The chairman of the Celtics congratulated David with a sour expression on his face. Everyone could see that this congratulation was against his will.
But David doesn't care about this, as long as the team wins.
"What a wonderful game! But the Celtics are still very strong, it doesn't matter, there will be a chance next year! I hope the Celtics can still have the fighting power they have today!" David said with a strange smile.
He knew that if history did not change, after the end of this season, Larson would transfer to Barcelona and become a member of the Catalan giants. Approval, it is difficult to match today's bravery.
But who knows what will happen tomorrow. After all, the Celtics were eliminated by Notts County, but they did not reach the UEFA Cup final like in their previous lives. The attention of this group of players will also be greatly reduced.
At this time, the Notts County players were on the field celebrating the victory of the game, their promotion, and the birth of a new record for Notts County. County history.
Notts County's victory suddenly stunned the media and fans who were not optimistic about Notts County before the game.
You know, Notts County lost the game 1:3 in the away game. Although judging from the history of the UEFA Cup, it is not impossible to lose the game with this score in the first round and get it back in the second round. But it's really too small.
And judging from the situation in the first round, the gap between the two teams should be obvious. How did Notts County beat the Celtics so easily?
Is this a match-fixing?
Conspiracy theorists have already brewed various abnormal factors and reasons in their minds.
