At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

In the new season, Zhou Xu handed over the captain's armband of Notts County to Maguire, while Verratti became the team's vice-captain.

"Chairman, I carefully watched the video of the previous Huddersfield game and this is the report I compiled."Laura submitted her report to Zhou Xu.

Huddersfield, Notts County's opponent in the opening match of the English League One.

Huddersfield Town Football Club is a football club located in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. The club was founded in 1908. It joined the English Football League in 1910 and won the First Division championship for three consecutive years, becoming the first team to win three consecutive championships. It was known as the strongest football team in England and the world at that time. The team, fans call it"Hudderstown".

The head coach is former player Robbie Simpson. Under his coaching, Huddersfield achieved 3 wins and 3 losses in 6 pre-season friendly games. When facing Chelsea from the Premier League, Huddersfield lost 2:3 at home to Chelsea, and Chelsea also played with all their main players. In that friendly match, Daba scored twice, and Anelka also scored. One goal.

Under this head coach, Huddersfield uses more of the 4231 tactical formation.

The report submitted by Laura shows that Huddersfield players have good ability to compete for the top and head the ball. This means that perhaps Huddersfield will attack Notts County through balls from behind or set pieces.

However, with Maguire's height and header ability, what Zhou Xu is not afraid of now is headers. I have an aircraft carrier so I don’t have to worry about competing for the top spot.

On the other hand, after watching several friendly matches at Huddersfield, Laura found that Huddersfield’s players cooperated very well with their feet, and their short passing and penetration ability was considered to be the best in League One. In the forefront, this tests the midfielder's strangulation ability in Zhou Xu's lineup. This is simply a joke. Pogba plus Verardia plus Fred, how can anyone in the English League be able to penetrate this midfielder

's shortcomings. , The goalkeeper is a big shortcoming. If Onana is famous now, then the goalkeeper of Hazhen can be said to be Onana's second. Not to mention his slowness in getting off the ground, his reaction is slow, and he is responsible for the team's conceding goals. A big responsibility.

In addition to the goalkeeper, Hazhen also has a shortcoming. Their overall defense on the left is very poor, which Zhou Xu plans to focus on.

"Well done, Laura, great job."Looking at Laura's dark circles, Zhou Xu understood that the beauty in front of him was working overtime every day,"From now on, you will be responsible for the opponent's report, and leave other work to Mark and Daniel."

"OK Chairman."Laura nodded. She also felt that the workload was a bit heavy. She even had dark circles under her eyes after staying up late every day.

Daniel and Mark were the two analysts recently hired by Zhou Xu. They will be participating in competitions across the country. Scouting, working with scouts to build Notts County’s scouting network

""The oriental boy's English League One debut"

Zhou Xu smiled as he looked at the headlines.

The match against Huddersfield Town was played at home, and his first official match was played at Midland Lane. Zhou Xu hoped to get off to a good start in the home opener. On

July 30, 2011, the opening match of the English League One, Notts County's match against Huddersfield Town at their home stadium, Midland Lane, was about to begin.

In this match, Notts County fans almost occupied the entire stadium. Although there were not many fans, there were nearly 15,000 people. Although they used to support Notts County, they were not so enthusiastic. However, after 60 million euros were injected into Notts County, the fans are now full of hope for promotion. On the stadium, they even put up a banner saying"We are coming to the English Championship League."

Zhou Xu was in the locker room, looking at his players,

"Hey Mane, are you nervous?"

Mane touched his head and smiled honestly.

"I'm nervous, Chairman."

"Why are you calling me chairman? Shouldn't you call me coach?"

"They all called him Chairman, and they said you asked us to call him."As he said this, Mane glanced at his teammates in confusion.

The teammates suddenly laughed.

"Everyone, I don’t know if you are nervous or not, but I am actually very nervous. But fortunately, after the commotion just now, I believe everyone is not so nervous. Let me lay out the tactics."Zhou Xu straightened his collar. As it was his first game as a coach, he was really nervous.

"In my opinion, the biggest star of Harbin Town is the 26-year-old Polish player Michał Herik. This 191-meter central defender has strong jumping and header abilities. Maguire, your task is to mark when defending. Kill him. When attacking, Vardy, your task is to interfere with him.

In addition, their left defense line is the 35-year-old Scotsman Garret Smith. This Garret is too old to run. Salah, your task is to run, run like crazy. Niemann, you too, the two of you attack his defense line together. At least, you must attract Garay's defense and at the same time attract two players to defend the breakthrough of the two of you.

Finally, there is the goalkeeper. If there is a chance for a long shot, you can try a long shot. The reaction of the opponent's goalkeeper is a big problem. His problem was very obvious in the pre-season friendly games.

Seeing everyone nodding, Zhou Xu clapped his hands and said,"Come on!""

""Come on!"

As they said that, everyone walked out of the locker room and came to the Mido Lane Stadium.

They looked at the full Mido Lane Stadium. It was a situation that they had never seen in a friendly match. Even Zhou Xu was greatly shocked. At that time, thousands of people shouted in unison,"Notts County!"

At the opening ceremony, everyone lamented the difference between the two teams.

On the home team side, there was no player over the age of 25, and on the Huddersfield side, the average age was much higher than that of Notts County. Some fans even shouted the classic phrase,"You can't do anything with a group of children."

Zhou Xu still used a 433 formation, and the starting 11 did not change.

On the Huddersfield side, in addition to Herrick who was assigned in advance, the right-back Matt Lowton also performed well in the friendly match. His ability to make assists was eye-catching.

After the pre-match kick-off ring , After the holiday, Maguire guessed the coin correctly and Notts County kicked off.

The opening was Salah's explosive run, and his breakthrough allowed Notts County to win a throw-in. Only 44 seconds into the game, Verratti threw the throw-in, and Pogba swept it towards the goal. This long shot tested goalkeeper Smith. Obviously, Pogba listened to Zhou Xu's pre-match arrangement.

Verratti took this corner kick, and Maguire headed the ball after the lead, but it was slightly out of the goal range.

What a pity, Zhou Xu sighed in his heart. Verratti took this corner kick in a good position, but Maguire jumped a little too high.
