Chapter 164 The UEFA Cup is Here
Successfully defended against the opponent's striker's attack, as if the haze in the sky suddenly cleared, and a colorful rainbow appeared above his head with his eyes. Gary Cahill felt that this moment was extremely beautiful.
The successful defense also gave him an unprecedented boost in self-confidence.
That's right, although you are professional players and I am young, it doesn't mean I have no choice.
I am different from you, I am destined to become a top central defender, and I am afraid that your career can only be mixed in the lower leagues.
So don't try to break through my defenses
Bailey's striker just thought he was being careless. He didn't pay attention to the kid Gary Cahill. In his opinion, no matter his body or ability, this kid would be blown away by him, as long as he was serious , can definitely be crushed.
Didn't you take me seriously and send children to defend yourself?
Then don't blame yourself for not saving face for you.
In the next attack, the Pele striker still leaned against Gary Cahill and asked for the ball. To his surprise, before the ball reached his feet, the kid behind him used the same method as before. After stabbing the ball away, Bailey's offense came to an abrupt end again.
Notts County's counterattack was sharp. Macho took the ball from the right flank and then scored another goal. Notts County has already led by 3 goals.
Although there is still time in the second half, it is not as simple as talking about it, but it is not as simple as talking about it.
For a while, Pele's players had a lot of psychological ups and downs. It seemed that the confusion in front of them had made them lose confidence in this game.
Bailey's striker felt that the whole world was full of malice towards him. Not to mention being intercepted by a child in a row, even his teammates looked at him with contempt. go in.
Seeing that there was no suspense in the game, Loew directly replaced Ramos and Babel, and only Joe Hart sat on the bench sullenly.
No way, the three teammates who entered the first team with him all got the chance to play, but he still had to sit on the bench, which really made him feel a little embarrassed.
If four people could be replaced in a game, then he would definitely get a chance to play, but why can only three people be replaced in a damn game?
Seeing his youth teammates playing excitedly on the field, he really wanted to stand in front of Notts County's goal, catch high and low blocks, and become the most reliable part of Notts County.
Looking at the performance of the three youth team players on the court, Loew nodded secretly.
It's very similar to his previous predictions for the three players!
Needless to say, Gary Cahill was a little nervous at the beginning, but then he gradually became calm, and he did a few interceptions very well. Although his strength needs to be improved, he definitely has the potential to become a top central defender;
After Ramos came on the field, because the opponent was suppressed, his defensive skills could not be reflected, but his ability to insert assists on the offensive end was well demonstrated. Whether he broke through or crossed, he was quite organized, and even looked better than the front line. The team's substitute right back Sagna is even better, and it may not take long to have a place in the first team.
As for Babel, his performance was a little unsatisfactory. Although the breakthrough was very sharp, he felt that his technique was relatively rough, and he did not handle the connection of technical movements very well. Moreover, judging from the few times he handled the ball, it seemed that his golf quotient was not high. , He passed when he should have made a breakthrough, but passed when he should have made a breakthrough, which really wasted several offensive opportunities.
In Loew's view, maybe Babel will have the ability to gain a foothold in the top league clubs in the future. It is not so easy to become a first-class star or even a superstar.
In addition, although Joe Hart did not get the chance to play, but seeing the performance of the three young players, Loew knew that he should be given a chance in the next game. I believe that David's vision will not let him down.
In the end, Notts County easily defeated their opponents away in this game and advanced to the next round of the League Cup.
Back in the league, the impact of Alonso's absence was felt.
In the 7th round, Notts County challenged Burnley away. Although they suppressed their opponents, the chaos and disorder on the offensive end caused Notts County to score a goal in normal games. When they won the first 6 consecutive victories, they gained A draw.
In the 8th round, Notts County still played an away game, but the opponent was replaced by Brighton, who was also promoted last season.
Brighton, the big dark horse of last season, has lost its courage as a dark horse. It is struggling in the League One.
However, the victory that was thought to be at hand did not come until the last moment. If it hadn't been for Hubnell, who came off the bench, to grab a point, I am afraid that Notts County will not be able to retreat from the away game again.
Of course, this difficult victory is not only due to the absence of the core of the organization, but also because the UEFA Cup will start in the middle of next week, and Notts County will stay strong for it.
Fortunately, although Notts County did not perform well, the performance of other competitors in League One was not much better. After two rounds of competition, Notts County's lead in the standings has not narrowed, so Notts County can definitely take the lead. Eyes turned to the European competition.
Notts County's opponents in the first round of the UEFA Cup are Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia.
Although Bulgaria is not even considered a second-tier league in the European football system, CSKA Sofia is an out-and-out giant in the Bulgarian league. 28 top league titles.
Although many English media thought that Notts County had drawn a good lottery before the game. Although the opponent was invincible in the Bulgarian league, they could only be regarded as juniors in the European arena. Notts County faced such a third-rate league. It's better than meeting a strong team in the five major leagues.
However, Loew will not underestimate the enemy because of this, even if he does not think that Notts County will be inferior to any team, but Notts County lacks experience in European wars.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that none of the players in Notts County have European experience, let alone those young players who were still working hard in the youth training camp. Did not get a chance to play in the European war. As for Alonso and other players who played in the five major leagues before, they also had no chance to enter the European war because of the weakness of their old clubs.
The opponent may be limited in strength, but the experience in the European war is much higher than that of Notts County, so Loew has to be cautious.
