King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 289: Everything is difficult at the beginning

The referee of this game is the Englishman Cavanagh. Wei Xun has never heard of this referee's name in later generations. However, according to the data provided by the Data Analysis Center, this referee has whistled in the two previous matches. Eleven yellow cards were given out, which is considered to be a card madman.

In fact, in the first ten minutes of the game, Wei Xun and the fans in the Old Trafford Stadium fully experienced the power of this "card madman":

In the seventh and eighth minutes of the game, Mertesacker and Carvalho ate two yellow cards in a row. You know, this is Notts County's starting central defender combination!

In the ninth minute, Iniesta was intercepted by Keane in midfield, who found Scholes nearby, and then the ball was transferred to the open left by Scholes.

The Welsh top player, Giggs, took advantage of the change in rhythm to get Brazilian defender Danny Alves, without extra extra moves, glanced at the position of Van Nistelrooy in the penalty area, and sent a cross.

Van Nistelrooy’s shot was blocked by Mertesacker in the first moment. Solskjaer who followed up was no longer marked. The Dutchman Van der Sar bravely blocked Solskjaer’s shot. Facing Giggs's shot, it can only be powerless.

Sometimes people have to refuse to accept the old, and when they are older, the speed of the second reaction is indeed a little bit unable to keep up.

Manchester United took advantage of the hesitation of two central defenders from Notts County who received consecutive yellow cards to launch a quick attack.

Although this goal has some luck, but it also exposed a lot of problems in Notts County's defense.

It can be clearly seen that in the Notts County penalty area, there are six Manchester United players. Outside the penalty area, the two closest players to the Notts County goal are also Manchester United.

In addition to the goalkeeper in the penalty area, Notts County has only five defensive players. The remaining five players have all stayed in the center and have not returned.

You can say that Manchester United counterattacked too fast, but in the opening ten minutes, Notts County had already experienced a disjointed midfield, which had to make Guardiola a little worried.

"Make your formation tighter, pay attention to close in, pay attention to the defense behind you, Warren!"

Guardiola is holding his forehead. He is considering whether to change so early. The defense of the midfielder is indeed a bit problematic. The three offensive attributes are very strong, but the defense is almost a black hole player. Manchester United only needs one base. Well, it can be done, not to mention there is a Nicky Bart.

When someone breaks the ball, it is Scholes's long pass to launch a counterattack, giving you no time to react.

With the conduction of three or four feet, the ball has penetrated into the net.

"Josep, how about we change players? Change George or Anthony to the other, first stabilize the midfielder?

Not only can we not play offense, but we also have big problems with defense. After all, Pell has already received a yellow card. If there is no midfielder to build a barrier at the top of the penalty area, I think it is very likely that there will be a red card! "

Eric Tynehag's words were by no means alarmist. Guardiola was shaken, but he wanted to wait and see. He had arranged with the players before the game. He knew very well that the start of this game would be difficult to play, but they were not without methods to deal with it.

"Cristiano, Danny, don't care about your back, someone will make up, try our best to type out what we arranged!"

The Spanish coach made several forward moves and gave instructions to Alves and Cristiano Ronaldo beside him.

"Good coach!"

Originally thinking of the Notts County players who returned to the defense a lot, at this time they began to unify their minds. There are no other tricks. Huashan's way is to attack, attack and attack.

Then, Notts County’s offense turned into a long pass. Instead of looking for high center Drogba in the penalty area, he used two full-backs and midfielders to dispatch left and right, letting Cristiano on the side and Cristiano play. Alves and midfielder Warren Doyle got the opportunity to use their speed to attack Manchester United's old defense line!

The effect is naturally immediate!

The Neville brothers could not stop Notts County's assault on the wing, and could only restrict Notts County's offense through sabotage.

In the 29th minute, Notts County took advantage of an out-of-bounds opportunity from the right to tie the score.

A throw, a cross, Drogba kept up with a shot, Notts County completed the goal in the simplest way.

If at first Sir Ferguson still wanted to continue to strengthen the offense and try to get at least one of the two central defenders in Notts County, then now he has to consider asking Bart and Keane to pay attention to the gap behind them and help Nei The Vale brothers helped defend Notts County's impact on the sidewalk.

In the thirty-third minute of the first half, Phil Neville was forced to pull the star of hope from behind because of a breakthrough by Warren Doyle and received a yellow card.

Familiar position, but this time, Warren's proud free kick failed to score.

Fengshui turns, today Manchester United’s goal line is replaced by an American goalkeeper, Tim Howard. The advantage of height gave him greater convenience when defending. Doyler's free kick this time, the angle did not open, was easily resolved by Howard, who is tall and has a long arm.

The offensive of the two sides made the fans on the scene very enjoyable. Even if it was only five days of intensive training, the Notts County players, who lacked some extra moves, were more concise and simple on the offense, frequently threatening Manchester United with long shots. The players, unfortunately, just blossomed, but failed to produce results.

Just when everyone thought the first half of the game was going to end in a tie, Manchester United took advantage of a foul by Danny Alves to quickly serve a free kick, and Solskjaer scored a goal for the overtake!

"Please tell me in the loudest voice that the goal player is..."

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer!"

"The scoring player is..."

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer!"

Sitting in the Manchester United fan group, Huang Miao also shouted the idol’s full name along with the Manchester United fans at the scene, completely forgetting the fact that he was a Notts County player.

Notts County was overtaken by the opponent in the last minute before the end of the midfield. This situation will have a big impact on the team's next arrangement, which is obviously not a matter of his consideration.

"Huang Miao, sit down for me!"

Teacher Huang can't stand it anymore. She is the hostess of Notts County. How can anyone score her own goal and cheer for others?

Huang Miao, who was already full of enthusiasm, couldn't listen to her sister's instructions at all. He simply put his left ear in and out of his right ear. He was still singing and dancing excitedly, greeted and chatted with several Manchester United fans around him enthusiastically.

Gao Yaoqian, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stepped on Huang Miao's foot viciously, and pointed at Huang Miao's nose and yelled:

"Huang Miao! I did not expect you to be such a player! We are Notts County players, and we are Notts County players! But Yun even cheered for Manchester United, and his conscience was eaten into the belly of a dog. Go inside!"

If it weren't for Gao Yaogan's foot, Huang Miao would not want to pay attention to him if he stepped on it a little pain:

"Yao Gan, don't you also like Ferdinand? I like Solskjaer. My idol scored a goal. Can I be happy for him?"

"No way! Flattened paper!"

Gao Yaogan left. His first reaction was to go to the stand where the Notts County fans were and ask the boss to make sense, but he could not go to that stand with his ticket.

Regarding ticket management, the UK, like China, is not allowed to circulate. Gao Yaoqian said he was a Notts County player, but the staff standing in the stands did not believe him. Gao Yaoqian had no choice but to go to the parking lot of Old Trafford Stadium and find the driver who drove the bus today.

If it was normal, he would have nowhere to go, but among the two drivers who drove the bus today, there was Liu Yundong. This guy had driven a military vehicle when he was in the army, had an army driver’s license, and had excellent skills.

The driver of the bus driver at the Notts County Club is well paid and the salary is high. He just did this without saying a word. He wanted to make more money when he went abroad for labor.

Liu Yundong, who was smoking, saw Gao Yaoqian's unhappy, and didn't say much, asking him to come and help him fetch water and clean the car.

The bus driver in Notts County is the club’s easiest job. Two people at a time, they separate back and forth and refuse to drive through fatigue. But this British driver doesn’t seem to like washing cars very much. He only builds cars and doesn’t maintain them. Liu Yundong thinks so. No, I have to save some money for the boss, so whenever I drive, I will clean and maintain the bus.

Being responsible for yourself is also responsible for the people in the car. This is also a way of repaying the boss's trust in yourself. People have taken such a big risk for themselves, and they have to work hard.
