King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 62 The Curve of the Right Foot

No one thought that at the beginning of the second half, Notts County, who could not fight back in the first forty-five minutes, would get a ball back so easily.

There is only one goal left between the two teams. It seems to be equalized or reversed, and there is still hope of losing!

The vice chairman of Juventus and several officials of the Nottingham City Government no longer know where they are going, but now they are all their own.

When the black and white ball flew into the Juventus goal, Wei Xun jumped up from the sofa excitedly and clapped his hands to celebrate with Irvine Joni, Derek Pavis and others.

There are many things that are extremely sacred when they happen in the imagination; but when they actually happen in front of you, you are disappointed to find that it is not as magical and spectacular as imagined, or even a little simple?

The Notts County players spontaneously surrounded the city to celebrate the goal.

Reina ran over from the backcourt, and Ribery took off his jersey with excitement.

The expressions on each player's face are very exciting, and Guardiola and Dario Hubnell on the bench also smiled knowingly, and the confidence of the Notts County players was built up.

Juventus players are all stars who have experienced countless storms. Regardless of League Cup or national team matches, it is commonplace for them to score goals after leading.

Even the coach Lippi, who has changed like a god, did not make too many adjustments. He just reminded the players on the field to improve their concentration and not to lose sight of Jingzhou.

Although the yellow card in this game didn't make much sense, the referee still showed a yellow card to Ribery, who was stripping to celebrate.

After the game restarted, Juventus's stars still did not change their slow rhythm.

Under the crazy pressing of the Notts County players, Juventus's passing control was not as smooth as the first half, but in absolute chance, Juventus should be even better.

Juventus, the star-studded, can easily threaten Notts County's goal even by relying on outstanding personal ability, while Notts County can only rely on the strength of the team to slowly deal with Juventus.

"Even if you die, you have to fall on the way to attack!"

This sentence is really familiar to the players of Notts County.

They have always been a team that advocates offensive football. Even if the team's defense is faltering, Reina is like a drug, and it has not allowed Notts County to return to passive defense.

It's better to catch up with a good death than a tedious death, and the death was so vigorous and remembered.

It is a rare opportunity to play against giants like Juventus. This is not only a training ground for Juventus to maintain its status, but also a stage for Notts County players to prove themselves.

Up to now in the second half, fans at the Meadow Lane Stadium have magically discovered that the two teams on the field have actually fought against each other!

Not kidding, the Notts County team is going crazy.

The interest of the fans at the scene was also mobilized. The original boring and old-fashioned plot has undergone a big reversal at this time, which is really exciting.

The staff selling melon seeds, snacks, and beverages in the stadium are also very busy. They work for charity and are willing to be tired. Anyway, the boss will not treat them badly.

Limited to absolute strength, most of Notts County's offenses can hardly threaten Juventus' goal, but fortunately, coach Lippi has replaced five main players before.

Notts County’s current offensive method is difficult for Juventus to encounter in the league before. It is a bit like the Dutch team’s full attack and defense. Every time the number of people involved in the attack is very large, and their return defense speed is very high. Not slow.

In previous Serie A leagues, when Italy's underdogs met Juventus, basically only 1-3 players counterattacked, and most of them were hoarding near the penalty area to prepare for defense.

This made coach Lippi, who has been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, raised a trace of interest. Under his instruction, Juventus's seriousness has increased a bit, but it has brought unlimited pressure to Notts County.

After seeing Juventus's fierce attack, the keen Guardiola immediately began to change the formation, Anthony Elt and George Grant replaced Harvey Alonso and Sneijder.

Three young defensive midfielders who are stronger than offense guard the midfield and prepare to implement strangulation tactics against Juventus in the game.

Guardiola's intention is very obvious, is to contain Juventus's offense, as long as the transmission of the midfield is cut off, no matter how powerful the striker will fall into the abyss of fighting alone.

What Wei Xun said in the locker room also gave Guardiola a big touch. The game has reached this point. Guardiola no longer regards this game as an ordinary warm-up match. He wants to win The champion of this competition.

Guardiola's adjustments are immediate. Although sometimes simply increasing the number of midfielders does not mean improving the defensive level, Tiago Motta, who can attack and defend, and Anthony Elt, who is fast and accurate, also George Grant, the son of Notts County, built a new iron-blooded wall near the arc of the middle circle by running at all costs and the spirit of the newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

Juventus’s midfield commander is the captain Antonio Conte, who has very rich experience in the game and has begun to command his teammates to respond.

Conte’s good partners in midfield, "Czech Iron Man" Nedved and "Wild Boar" Davis are no strangers to such a fight.

The two teams fought fiercely in the midfield. The muscles collided and the blood was very hot. This is the real football, the world's number one sport with **** blood.

In the final stage of the game, Juventus's offensive became more and more fierce, and Thiago Motta's Notts County defensive line also consciously withdrew to limit Juventus's offense by compressing space.

Creating space and compressing space are Guardiola's housekeeping skills.

Kuyt cut off the ball at the foot of Nedved at the front of the penalty area and returned it to Thiago Motta, who had been inserted forward. At the same time, Van Persie and Ribery had begun to speed up the Juventus penalty area. .

Without hesitation, let alone miss the opportunity, a precise long pass flew forward, Frank Ribery successfully unloaded the ball from his familiar left wing position, even from the fourth-level French team, Ribery The stop of the ball is still pleasing to the eye and unrestrained.

A perfect stop, avoiding being snatched by Tulam, Ribery leaned against Tulam, who was constantly pressing behind him, knocked the ball on his heel and turned around immediately.

In the summer, Buffon, who was transferred from Parma together, watched his good brother Thuram pass so easily, and it was too late to be sentimental, so he had to raise the spirit of twelve points and was ready to save at any time.

Ribery quickly dribbled the ball from the ribs into the penalty area, facing Buffon in front of the goal, his right foot moved the ball inwardly to open the angle of the shot, and the curve ball with his right foot drew a perfect arc to the cloth. The goal guarded by Feng.

Buffon's save was very stretched and his attention was very concentrated, but Frank Ribery's training program in "Notts County I" was not just a cross, but also a right-footed arc shot!

The angle of this kick ball is too tricky. Buffon stretched himself desperately, still having a long distance from the ball. Facing a newcomer, Wangqiu sighed the ending.

"Niu Cha, Frank! Niu Cha!"

Frank Ribery was also a little unprepared for his goal, but his good brother George Grant had jumped up and hugged him from behind.

Ribery raised his fists and waved upwards in excitement, as if to vent all his strength. The Notts County players rushed towards him frantically and knocked Ribery to the ground.

Buffon sat blankly on the goal line holding the ball, and the other Juventus players seemed to be unable to accept the result of being equalized by Notts County at the last minute, with puzzled and disappointed expressions in their eyes.

Coach Lippi seems to be very satisfied with the result, and he will win the Champions League tomorrow. There is no need to mobilize himself for the Champions League tomorrow.

He took the initiative to stand up, walked to Guardiola's side, and shook hands in greeting.

"Josep, I have to admit that your team played very well today. I look forward to the future when we can meet again in the Champions League!"

Guardiola is very happy, it is not easy to be recognized by his predecessors.

If it weren't for Juventus to play in the Champions League tomorrow, it would be really difficult for Notts County to draw with Juventus. This is only half of the main players!

Although Juventus have been runners-up in Serie A in recent years, it is not far from the day when they regain the title of Serie A.

"Thank you, senior, I hope that day will come soon!"
