"I just got the starting lineups of the two teams that are about to play. Coach Zhou Xu doesn't seem to give up. He abandoned the 433 formation he has been using and switched to a 532 formation. This is an obvious defensive formation. No. Ibaraki seems to be preparing to lower its profile and play defensive counterattack."
Mido Lane Stadium, the home team's locker room.
In the locker room, Zhou Xu and the players could hear the shouts of the fans. They decorated the Mido Lane stadium in the black and white colors of the jerseys, and a huge magpie tifo appeared in the fans' stands. Even facing Chelsea, who topped the Premier League, They still support their team.
They chose a team they like and have always loved and supported it.
Zhou Xu was arranging specific tactics,"Essien, this Ghanaian bison with excellent physical fitness, we must restrict him.
We need to increase the pressure on him to prevent him from receiving the ball comfortably.
For the magic lamp Lampard, remember, this is very important, stick to him, whether with or without the ball, you must defend him closely, his threat is higher than Essien, limit him, Niemann, Ilori.
, It’s up to you.
Try to let his non-dominant foot control the ball, his right foot.
As for Drogba, Maguire, no, you have to keep an eye on him, otherwise we will regret it.
"
Looking around at the nervous players, Zhou Xu decided to say something.
"The opponent is Chelsea, who are ranked first in the Premier League. They are far better than us, far better."Everyone," Zhou Xu clapped his hands, attracting the players' attention,"In 2004, Greece won the European Cup miracle. Their strength was as far behind as Portugal, but they created an unimaginable Greek myth. In 2003, Porto from Portugal won the Champions League championship trophy astonishingly."
Looking at the players raising their heads one by one,"Did you hear that? In our stadium, our fans are not giving up and they are chanting our name. Everyone, it's game time, let's go into our stadium, face the cheers of the fans, and play for them and ourselves. We have only one goal,"
Zhou Xu stretched out his hand and pointed at Chelsea's target on the big screen in the distance,"Overthrow them!"
Zhou Xu walked onto the Mido Lane Stadium, where a huge magpie tifo was flying. Opposite were Drogba, Lampard, and Chelsea coach Villas-Boas.
"Look, look at the youth storm I created."
On the pitch, Vardy, who was able to walk, was watching the game in the stands, with his crutches next to him.
"The game is about to start, and we see that Chelsea is using a regular 433 formation. The starting players were completely unchanged from usual, all the main players. Villas-Boas gave this Notts County respect. The front three of Drogba, Mata and Valencia, the midfield combination of Lampard, Essien and Alexander Song, the back line of David Luiz and Captain Terry, and the full-back is Ashley Ko Er and Bosingwa, Cech guarding Chelsea's goal.
It is worth noting that on the Notts County side, unlike the regular 433, coach Zhou Xu used a 532 defensive formation. The double forwards are Salah and Mane, the French midfielder duo Pogba and Kanter start, and the other is the B seat from Portugal. The three central defenders are Stones, Maguire and Ilori in order, while Robertson and Niemann are still on the wings."
As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the match between Notts County and Chelsea began.
"At the beginning of the game, Chelsea was very patient and they chipped away at Notts County's defense bit by bit. Speed up, Mata, long pass to Drogba. Maguire, beautiful, he successfully intercepted the ball before Drogba. If Mata's pass is successful, Drogba can form a one-man goal. It's a pity that Notts County still couldn't hold the ball and the ball was intercepted by Essien.
The side was given to Valencia, who passed it to Drogba. Alas, Maguire is going to get a yellow card, but there is no way. If there is no tactical foul, Drogba has a hundred ways to pass the ball and send the ball into the Notts County goal. This yellow card means that Maguire will miss the next League Cup game. He has received two yellow cards in total and will be suspended for one game."
"Drogba's header went high. Cross from Valencia"
"Mata, breaks into the penalty area and shoots! Alisson falls to the ground to block"
"Lampard also took a shot, which slightly missed the goal post. This was Chelsea's fifth shot."
"25 minutes had passed and the score was still 0:0. However, Notts County looked a bit embarrassed, with only 35 possession of the ball.%"
Zhou Xu was extremely nervous, and his palms were all sweaty. Chelsea is still too strong compared to Notts County. Under the impact of Chelsea, Notts County's goal is crumbling. Fortunately, the players are united and try to keep Notts County's goal intact.
"Essien, unstoppable, in range, long shot. Alisson was very focused and saved the ball.
Corner kick, Lampard took it, it was Drogba again, he won the header, Alisson, the key! Maguire made a clearance and it was still a corner kick."
Chelsea controlled the situation of the entire game. Notts County was almost a half-time offensive and defensive battle. The role of Mane and Salah as forwards is to defend with their teammates in the midfield. Chelsea's control of the midfield allowed Notts County Players can hardly get the ball
"Robertson had no choice but to commit a foul. It was an obvious pulling action. The referee did not take out the card and it was Chelsea's free kick. Robertson obviously breathed a sigh of relief. If he gets a card, Notts County's wings will be dangerous. Valencia took a free kick and Ilori made a header to clear the ball. The ball fell to Alexander Song, who handed it to Lampard to organize.
Kanter! He intercepted the ball from Lampard's foot, received the ball from Niemann at two points, accelerated, Notts County's counterattack, and a three-on-two in the frontcourt. There was no other way. Lampard could only commit a tactical foul and get a yellow card. In fact, this was an action that could get a red card. Maybe the referee was soft-hearted thinking that it was only the 31st minute of the game."
"Beautiful, that's all."Zhou Xu applauded. This was a perfect counterattack. Chelsea were a little overconfident and invested too much in the frontcourt. Lampard could only put in a shovel to stop this counterattack. There was no other way. If it was John Terry and David Luiz who were trailing behind, , no matter who takes the ball, Notts County's two forwards will be liberated. When the time comes, Niemann only needs to score the ball, and it will really be a one-man attack.
Notts County becomes more and more courageous as they pursue the victory. In the 37th minute of the game, there was another counterattack. , David Luiz was also shown a yellow card. Although Notts County was still in a high-pressure state, they gradually found some opportunities.
"The first half of the game was over. Facing Chelsea's high pressure, Notts County performed very resolutely and relied on strong defense to keep the score at 0:0. They even had two very good counterattack opportunities, allowing Chelsea received two yellow cards."
