home team locker room

"We did a good job and what we need to do in the second half is maintain the defense we had in the first half. Those of us who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The league is advancing rapidly. It doesn't matter if we give up one or two games. Chelsea can't stand it. Chelsea, who are currently ranked first, have the same points as Arsenal, and they will play Newcastle in three days.

Newcastle are not easy to deal with. Is it possible that Villas-Boas dares to continue to be the main force and completely ignore the Premier League games? I don't think Villas-Boas will take the initiative to give up the initiative in the Premier League championship. When he makes adjustments, it will be our opportunity. come on!"

In the second half, the Notts County fans were still enthusiastic. They shouted and supported their own team.

"The second half of the game started, and neither team made any substitutions."

"Salah steals the ball, Notts County is about to counterattack. Relying on his speed, he enters the penalty area. He wants to pass the ball, but there is no one around him to receive it. Robertson receives the ball and passes it to Kante, who shoots! Unfortunately, the shot is too high. In the 52nd minute of the game, Notts County gets the first shot of the second half."

"On the wing, Ashley Cole went down the bottom line, and no one could stop him. Long pass, Robertson headed the ball away in front of the goal, and the ball came to Bosingwa's feet, and passed it across the penalty area. No one was marking Drogba, and Drogba scored an empty goal, and the ball went in!"

Drogba ran to the sidelines frantically, screaming. In the 55th minute of the game, Drogba scored, and Nottingham Forest fell behind Chelsea 0:1.

Zhou Xu closed his eyes, thinking, should he adjust immediately, or wait until the other side adjusts first.

Opening his eyes again, Zhou Xu made a substitution gesture

"After the goal, we saw coach Zhou Xu make substitution adjustments. No. 14 central defender Ilori came off the field and No. 7 Origi came on. This is the forward, Origi is the forward, coach Zhou Xu has changed his formation, and he is going to play against Chelsea. This game was exciting."

Replacing a central defender, the team changed to 433 again. This was supposed to be an adjustment that would be made after the Chelsea players' physical strength was exhausted a little more, but the loss of the ball in the second half prompted Zhou Xu to adjust in advance.

"Chelsea's free kick was taken by Valencia, Terry headed the goal, and Alisson once again made a great save! After hitting Ashley Cole, the supplementary shot hit the side net, and Notts County escaped. After substitutions and adjustments, Notts County has indeed become very proactive, but at the same time, the crises in front of the goal have also become more."

In the 71st minute of the game, Kanter stole Essien, and Robertson received the second point. He found Salah with a long pass. Salah split the side, and the B seat received the ball and passed through. Mane successfully scored a single goal after turning offside, and the score equalized by Notts County

"Kante steals the ball, beautiful, wonderful cooperation, the ball comes to the feet of the B seat, passes through the entire Chelsea defense, Mane, he suddenly breaks into the penalty area, single-handedly, hits the goal! The ball went in! Notts County, from the League One, penetrated the goal of the powerful Chelsea, who came from the Premier League."

Mane made a sliding kneel in excitement. All his teammates and substitute players behind him also swarmed up and equalized. Notts County still had a chance.

Zhou Xu clenched his fist in excitement and swung it out fiercely. The stadium was , the fans cheered louder, resounding throughout the game.

Before the game was over, Zhou Xu turned his head and looked at Boas who stood up again. What would you do? Give up the next game with Newcastle completely. Competition?

"Drogba, the ball was intercepted, Stones intercepted the ball from his feet, Maguire received the ball. Advancing from the backcourt, does he want to dribble the ball? No, it was assigned to seat B, and Origi kicked the ball out. Origi didn't stop the ball and passed it directly to Salah. He passed Ashley Cole. He was tired and Villas-Boas hadn't made a substitution yet. Break into the penalty area, cut inside, and take a penalty kick!

Ashley Cole was tired and he tripped Salah. The Egyptian youngster was smart, he passed the ball to one side and it was an undoubted penalty, no matter how much the Chelsea players protested. Who will take the penalty kick? Kanter, the Frenchman, takes on this pressure. In front of him is the legendary goalkeeper Cech. The ball went in! Kante completely deceived Cech, and just 2 minutes after the last goal, Notts County scored another goal to reverse the score."

Kante is Notts County's second penalty kicker. The first is Vardy who was injured in the stands.

When the referee awarded the penalty kick, Zhou Xu knelt down and did not dare to look at it until Williams hugged him..

He felt like he was in a dream, everything was so unreal. His team, Notts County from League One, was now leading the Blues Chelsea 2:1. The score was clearly displayed on the big screen at Mido Lane Stadium. 2:1.

Vardy also stood up and celebrated with his crutches. He also celebrated passionately for the first goal, which made fans worry that Vardy fell again and aggravated his injury.

"Hold on!"Zhou Xu made a gesture of retreating and asked the players to pay more attention to defense.

Chelsea's players are still running with all their strength, but they can no longer run.

As long as they hold on to the score, they will be the winners.

"Chelsea players have no energy left, and Villas-Boas's tactics have huge problems. He should have replaced him earlier. Ashley Cole can no longer run."

On the sidelines, Villas-Boas regretted that he played with all his strength. Now, even if he can win this game, he will have to pay a heavy price. The main players on the field will definitely be affected in the next game. For a League Cup, He could lose a great Premier League title race

"Chelsea scored! In the 87th minute of the game, Drogba scored twice in a row, and the score was 2:2. Wait, the linesman raised the flag, it was an offside goal. Let's take a look at the replay again. Unfortunately, it was obviously offside. Drogba was in an offside position when Meireles passed the ball. Unfortunately, there is not much time left in the game, and there is not much time left for Chelsea!"

"5 minutes of injury time, Chelsea's last chance. Essien steals the ball, but Can clears it out of bounds. Ashley Cole throws it out of bounds quickly, but Villas-Boas hasn't replaced Ashley Cole yet, as he can't run any more. Chelsea's wonderful cooperation finds Torres, but unfortunately, Maguire's blocking makes Torres unable to stop the ball, and Stones clears the ball."

"The referee blew the whistle to end the game. The game was over, the game was over. At home, Notts County miraculously defeated Chelsea, and they became the victors. They were cheering heartily, and the fans were also excited. 7 yellow cards. The tenacious Notts County used 7 yellow cards to build their steel defense. Zhou Xu caused a youth storm in the League Cup. They advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup and became a League One team.."

As the referee blew three whistles, Zhou Xu could no longer suppress his excitement. After shaking hands with Villas-Boas, he excitedly ran to the sidelines and knelt down to celebrate. They defeated Chelsea, the number one player in the Premier League, at home. Afterwards, Maguire led the players to finish the game at Mido Lane Stadium. The fans did not stop cheering from the first minute of the game until the last second of the game.

After the game, Zhou Xu participated in the interview and followed the score. Kante with the reverse goal

"The fairy tale from League One continues, you must be happy to go one step further in the League Cup, right?"

What a weird question, if I'm not happy, I'm going to laugh out loud, okay?"

"We are very happy that we are creating our own miracle. At first we all thought we were just passers-by, but now, it seems that we have the possibility to go further. I want to create an even bigger miracle."

"The referee showed 9 yellow cards today, 7 of which were for Notts County players. Do you care about the team's big move?"

"This is our tactic, but we have no choice. We are far behind Chelsea, which is visible to the naked eye. So we can only do this and protect our goal with fierce pressing and strong defense."

"Why did you take the penalty, Kante?"

Kante on the side took the phone shyly.

"We trained on penalty kicks before the game. I have always been the second penalty kicker in the team. When Vardy is not around, I take penalty kicks."

"So, the last question, for this game, coach you changed the tactics last week before the game. Is this specially arranged for Chelsea?"

"Sorry, it’s not convenient to talk about tactical issues."

Zhou Xu said thank you, and Kanter also said"fack you", and then handed the microphone back to the reporter.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xu quickly took the microphone again, explained Kanter's accent problem, and then handed the microphone back. , left with Kanter

"Say less thank you in the future"

"Why, Chairman?"

"Just listen to me."

On the other hand, Chelsea's head coach commented that Notts County was purely lucky. In this regard, Zhou Xu had to admit that he was indeed lucky. Ashley Cole had physical problems in this game, and both goals he conceded were followed by He has something to do with it, maybe because of a fight the night before the game. In short, Ashley Cole's inexplicable physical problems can be regarded as Zhou Xu's luck.

Domestically, Notts County's name gradually became famous, especially. When they learned that this team had a Chinese head coach and Chinese players, they became even more concerned.
