After being attacked, they collapsed one after another; another hijacked airliner, American Airlines 77, crashed into the Pentagon of the U.S. Department of Defense in Washington; and the passengers and crew members of United Airlines Flight 93 voted to make decisions and terrorism. The elements fought to the end, and the counterattack finally forced the hijackers to crash the plane in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, preventing the plane’s plan to hit the U.S. Capitol. All 44 people on board (including 4 terrorists) were killed...

On September 12, 2019, the global press focused their attention on the 9/11 incident. The front page of the "Global Times" was titled "U.S. Encountered Terrorist Attack." The Chinese people expressed their deepest condolences to the American people. The concise and concise headline "USAttacked" of The Times later became one of the most classic headlines in the history of news, and the title of "USA Today" was the same short "ActofWar", and the title "WaronAmerica" ​​of the British "Daily Telegraph" also had The same thing is the same, the British "Mirror" title "WarontheWorld" is a bit surprising, Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" and South Korea's "East Asia Shimbun" also registered in Chinese also left the front page headlines for the 9/11 event.

After reporting to the FA in advance and communicating with the management of Oldham Athletic Club, on September 12, 2001, at Meadow Lane Stadium in Nottingham, the players of both sides wrapped their arms with black gauze and bowed their heads in a circle in the middle circle. ring.

The fans also stood up at the same time, bowed their heads or mourned in silence or closed their eyes and prayed to heaven. This is a catastrophe for mankind, and the helpless Wei Xun can only make his heart feel a little better in this way.

Oldham Athletic, who came from afar, worked hard in the low-level leagues all the year round. In 1974, he won the League Two championship, and in 1991, he also won the League One championship. In other periods of time, they were somewhat ineffective. , And has not won any heavyweight honor.

But the current Oldham Athletic ranks second in the English League B, and there is great hope for an upgrade to the League One in the coming year. In the first six league rounds that have been played, Oldham Athletic’s experienced back line only lost three goals, and the offensive players in Notts County faced considerable pressure in this game.

In the 1-2 loss of Notts County to Aston Villa in the second round of the League Cup, Guardiola was very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty. After the referee reported the situation, Guardiola was shown a red card by the referee.

At that time, the referee Freir not only didn't penalize the Aston Villa players for touching porcelain, but also gave Barzali a red dot package. Guardiola was furious about this, and Barzali's league was no longer able to play. Now, the next cup will also be suspended, Guardiola suddenly became angry from his heart, this is the main central defender of Notts County!

The FA's investigation report has also been released. In the investigation of Guardiola’s kicking of the water bottle, the three-person investigation team wrote in the report: “Guardiola’s dangerous behavior of kicking the water bottle, whether he did it intentionally or not, may injure people around him. "The referee on duty, Freir, said that the fourth official told him that Guardiola kicked the water bottle without hesitation. This action was too dangerous.

Wei Xun and Guardiola are very dissatisfied with the FA's rascal behavior. The FA, which has always been inefficient, must be holding back bad tricks.

Wei Xun’s red envelope was not given for free. Tony Price called Wei Xun and told Wei Xun to calm down now. According to the current situation, it is better not to confront the FA. Therefore, Guardiola and the Notts County club issued a statement announcing that they would obey the FA's punishment, and apologized to the FA Disciplinary Committee before the start of the seventh round of the league and said that they would work hard to improve discipline. I also feel very regretful for my dangerous behavior. Wei Xun also notified the financial staff of the Notts County Club to reimburse Guardiola for the £16,000 fine.

The one game suspension of Guardiola as a player has little effect on Notts County, but if he is sent to the stands and unable to direct the game as the head coach, the hearts of Notts County soldiers will definitely fluctuate.

Simply, the result is not bad. Wei Xun and Zhao Tai, who are still waiting for Sergey's reply in San Francisco, can only look forward to the victory of Notts County at home.

Guardiola's arrangement for the game is to start the game first. According to the data provided by the Notts County Data Analysis Department, Oldham Athletic although defensively is good, but the team is very slow, and the opening stage is the most break the balance. Best time.

If you can win this game, Notts County will definitely be in the top ten. The second-ranked Oldham Athletic also hopes to win the establishment of this game to consolidate their position and narrow the points gap with the league leaders.

The pre-match data report also showed that Oldham Athletic’s main center back Harris suffered an ankle contusion, and there is still question whether he can play.

As Barzagli continued to be suspended, Sneijder had just returned from the national team game, and his condition was relatively exhausted. Guardiola put the young midfielder Corey Bukarossi, who performed well in three consecutive games, into the starting position.

Mertesacker and Chiellini teamed up to defend Notts County's defense. The main goalkeeper Renner accidentally sprained his left thumb during training and needed at least four days of rest. England goalkeeper Ben Foster won This is his second starting chance for the new season, and the game during Renner's injury is also a chance for Foster to prove himself.

In the 4th minute of the game, Lichsteiner dribbled the ball forward from the right, and Corey Bukalossi was in place.

Frank Ribery on the left quickly jumped into the penalty area and stretched out his hand for the ball, "Cory, here, here...".

Corey Bukalossi just adjusted a little, but the Oldham Athletic defender seized the opportunity to squeeze and stagger, barely picking up the ball and passing it into the penalty area, but Ribery could not get the ball at this time.

In the penalty area, Hubner was dragged by the opposing defender and made the first landing of the ball, but he couldn't control the ball. He could only choose to use a little harder and let the ball fly in the direction where Ribery was running.

Ribery stopped the ball and took a direct shot, a burst shot, and hit the Oldham Athletic goalkeeper in the face, who fell to the ground, his expression very bitterly crying.

Ribery hurried forward to check the Oldham Athletic goalkeeper's injury, and Hubner, who had already controlled the ball, signaled to his defender to give up the attack and kick the ball out of the sideline.

"Hey, goalkeeper brother, how are you doing, don't have anything to do with you, I really didn't mean it...".

The 18-year-old Ribery experienced such a situation for the first time, and the bloodied face of Oldham Athletic goalkeeper Pique Jones made Ribery even more at a loss.

"Big brother, don't do this, I'm dizzy..." Ribery cried more sadly, and he felt a little dizzy.

The referee stopped the game in time, and the Oldham Athletic team doctor had come to the goal to treat Pique Jones' wounds, "Oh, poor boy, don’t worry, Pique’s nose bone was hit by a leather ball, don’t There is nothing serious about worrying about the child, just stop the bleeding first."

The Oldham Athletic team doctor first gave Pique Jones a thumb to indicate that he was okay, and then he stopped the bleeding of Pique while comforting the pale Ribery.

Georgia, the chief team doctor of Notts County, also rushed over. Yes, he was the chief team doctor. Now Georgia is also the minister of the humerus of New Notts County, and he also carries a team of Western medicine under his hand. He took a little Yunnan Baiyao to the Oldham Athletics team doctor to help Pike Jones stop the bleeding, and signaled the stretcher to enter the field.

The bridge of Pique Jones’ nose was interrupted by Ribery’s close-range blast. The exact extent of the fracture is not known, and it is not clear whether there is a concussion. All of this has to be checked at the Royal College of Nottingham. Row.

In short, Pique Jones is unable to hold on to the rest of the game.

Before being carried into the ambulance on a stretcher, Pique Jones touched Ribery’s head and comforted the 18-year-old boy, “Little guy, it’s okay. I’ve been standing in front of the goal for 15 years, what kind of I’ve seen injuries, this time it’s really nothing, don’t care, I know you are unintentional, I forgive you, play the game well, don’t show mercy to our men just because you kicked me off the court, we are British The strongest shield in the second league, you must show the spirit of twelve points!"

Pique Jones was gone, Oldham Athletic kicked the ball back to Notts County, and Hubnell took a direct shot and kicked the ball into the audience.

The Oldham fans and Notts County fans present gave endless applause for the professionalism of the two teams.

If the incident just now is an episode of this game, then the next thing is the real battle of contradictions:

In the 25th minute of the game, Lichsteiner made a pass from the right and was cleared by the defender. George Grant took the ball and then passed. Hubner took the ball and broke into the penalty area with three people. The athletic defender fought hard to get out.

In the 29th minute, Oldham Athletic missed the chance to score a goal. Ram fouled from the edge of the penalty area. The referee decisively awarded a penalty. The Oldham Athletic striker actually played a spoon. Unfortunately, the ball was too slow and was taken by Ben Foss. Use your feet to block out.

"Oh..." Seeing this opportunity to tie the score was wasted, the Oldham Athletic fans booed.

In the 36th minute, Ribery crossed diagonally. Hubner rushed to the edge of the small penalty area and hit the right post to bounce back. Kuyt shot from the right and was backed out by the substitute goalkeeper of Oldham Athletic.

In the 52nd minute, after Corey Bucarosi made a straight pass, Hubner chose a low shot from the edge of the penalty area and the ball hit the side net.

Off the court, Guardiola thought that Notts County had rewritten the score due to a bad perspective. He was about to rush out to celebrate, but was hugged by his assistant Mark.

In the 65th minute, Ribery made a counterattack and broke into the left side of the penalty area, but Hubner, who failed to cross the middle in time, could only choose to pass the ball out. Corey Bukalossi's shot at the top of the penalty area was blocked. The Oldham central defender blocked the sideline with his body.

In the 82nd minute, the score on the court was finally rewritten. Frank Ribery, who kicked Oldham Athletic's starting goalkeeper Pique Jones, was like a **** possessed. He took the ball from the midfield and drove straight to the edge of the penalty area. Then he Inverted the ball into the penalty area, the veteran Hubner swiftly pushed forward, stretched his leg, and blocked the ball into the gate of Oldham Athletic.

1-0, Notts County takes the lead. As the so-called long sword is out of the sheath, it is invincible. No matter how strong your shield is, I will cut you off. This is an imposing battle that cannot be defeated. Notts County, attack!

The Oldhams who don't know what surrender means are still working hard. Even if their shields are broken to the ground, they will have to fight with you for another 300 rounds if they are glued together.

The Notts County players worked together to withstand the opponent's crazy counterattack in the last 5 minutes and finally won the game as desired.

When the referee blew the end of the game, Ribery fell to his knees and did not want to stand up for a long time. Notts County won. He was relieved. An assist was his best compensation for Pique Jones.
