Chapter 215 Breaking the Curse ([-])

Chapter 215 Breaking the Curse ([-])
Arjen Robben, who had just completed the shot, and Franck Ribery, who had sent the pass, clapped their hands together, "Good shot, Franck!"

Afterwards, Robben received a tactical corner kick from Warren Doyle and made a direct cross. Franck Ribery headed back from the front point and the German striker Miroslav Klose rushed to the header. Gate, the Watford keeper miraculously saves.

"Francis! Francis! Francis!"

Watford fans chanted the name of the team's main goalkeeper. Without him, Watford may well have fallen behind at home.

Several roars from Francis did make the Watford players concentrate a little bit, but the good times did not last long. No. 201 minutes, Aryan Robben made a cross from the right, and Watford in the penalty area The colander central defender did not make a direct clearance but chose to stop the ball.

But it is a pity that the reason why this guy is called "colander" and became the weakness that Notts County players attacked in groups is that his stop is really bad, and this time, he stopped too big.

Harvey Alonso, who was ambushing right next to him, first sent his body to fight, then protected the ball, and then shot with his right foot. The magical Francis was no longer magical, and watched the ball fly into the lower right corner. Notts County lead!
As the captain on the field, Francis certainly knows that his teammates should bear the main responsibility, but if the players are allowed to besiege the "colander brothers" who stop the ball and send assists at this time, it will only deepen the internal strife in Watford and let Notts County sit down. To reap the benefits, he could only bite the bullet and say:

"Guys, mistakes are inevitable, let's fight back together, it's only 20 minutes, it's still early, Rashk, be safe, just clear the siege, don't make any more trouble!"

"Colander" Lashke responded obediently, saying that he knew it, and turned around and walked outside the penalty area.

No. In the 205th minute, Sneijder rushed into the penalty area and fell to the ground after physical contact with "Colander" Lashke. The referee Pishtford believed that there was no penalty and signaled Sneijder to stand up. Watford's backcourt was free ball.

Watford, who thought they had escaped, fell. After the line referee kindly reminded him through the headset, the referee changed the penalty kick and showed "Colander" Lashke a yellow card.

The innocent "colander" Lashke was stunned. His mouth grew very big, his face was full of shock, and he jumped up and down beside the referee anxiously, exhausting his acting talent. "Three mouths and one pig", Wei Xun felt that there was no problem.

The referee naturally ignored Rushke's performance. Frank Ribéry's shot was judged to be in the right direction by the Watford goalkeeper and he barely shot it. Circh County easily gained a two-goal lead.

The score was leading, and the players gradually let go. In the No. 30 minute of the game, Sneijder made a long pass from the backcourt. Franck Ribery, who was unguarded on the left, stepped in and formed a single goal. After a perfect stop, he easily A low shot scored and Notts County led Watford by three goals.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first goal Frank Ribery scored for Notts County in all competitions. Ribery was able to score this goal so easily. Ned, and German striker Miroslav Klose helped Ribéry attract the attention of two defenders.

The Watford coach was ashamed. Franck Ribery was originally defended, but he thought that Notts County would use their usual routine, and Ribery would head the ball to Klose in the penalty area, so he said Shouted twice:

"Co-defense! Pay attention to co-defense!"

So, Ribery was empty, and then, the Watford side trailed by three goals.

No.308 minutes, Watford's colander central defender inserted a long shot from the outside of the Notts County penalty area. Pellizzoli, who was focused, saved the bottom line and created a corner kick. I saved a little face.

Watford took a corner kick, Pellizzoli hit it, the ball didn't go far, Thiago Mota stopped the ball from the outside and cleared it directly except for the baseline, and Watford's players were not satisfied with getting a throw-in ball, they complained Thiago Motta just had a handball.

Here is Watford's colander central defender who is the most energetic. He said that Thiago Motta's raised arm was obviously handballed. The linesman also gave a positive reply. into Watford.

The Watford striker didn't make a big move, but just hit the upper corner vigorously. Pellizzoli didn't judge the direction, and could only fall to the ground and watch the ball enter the net.

During stoppage time in the first half, Lichtsteiner received a yellow card for raising his foot too high. This operation also puzzled Wei Xun, but it was not harmful, after all, Notts County still led by two goals.

During the intermission, Notts County's locker room was peaceful. Their "burst point" offense in the first half was very effective. As long as the Watford coach does not replace "Colander" Lashke, Notts County will be in the game. The second half of the game will continue to blow the hammer until Rushk is replaced.

At the beginning of the second half, the coach of Watford did not replace Rushker, but put this guy on the forward line, let him act as a defender in the frontcourt, and forced Notts County to play the ball in the backcourt, let alone , It really has some effect, No.407 minutes, Watford broke through from the right and made a cross, Rushke, who was unguarded in front of the point, missed the shot.

"Scared to death, it really is a defender's footwork..."

Although it was frightening, it was also the last supper. As a defender, Rushke has no speed and only body. However, no matter how fast he is, it is not easy to pass the ball. .

After playing for about 20 minutes, Rushke was exhausted and was finally taken down by the Watford coach.

"It's really boring. If you don't have enough physical fitness, you can still play high-position pressing. It's so funny..."

Starting from No. 80 minutes, Notts County is back again, with a familiar taste and a familiar formula. No.803 minutes, Notts County launched a quick counterattack, and the three-legged pass was sent to the front of Watford's penalty area. Warren Doyle took a long shot and flew into the stands.

After 5 minutes, No.16 of the Watford midfielder steals Harvey Alonso, starts up immediately, dunks Thiago Motta and Carvalho lightly, and abandons the goal before he can take a shot Pellizzoli blocked all the shooting lines, and even the ball under his feet was protected by Pellizzoli's grandmother.

At this stage, the point difference is still maintained at two goals. According to Notts County's dominance and control ability, the probability of Watford wanting to comeback is very low.

Although Watford used up the last two substitutions in one go, it was too late.

No.903 minutes, Watford's left back conceded the ball in the backcourt and directly chose to pull down Frank Ribery and received a yellow card.Frank Ribery and Warren Doyle stood in front of the ball at the same time. Ribery gave Warren Doyle a look, and the latter also understood that Ribery was about to kick. Put yourself under cover.

Taking a free kick from 35 meters away and hitting the goal directly requires certain skills. Wei Xun doesn't think Ribery is usually interesting in training free kicks.

Warren Doyle took a few steps back and started a run-up. The wall at Watford took off, but Warren Doyle jumped directly over the ball, and Ribery followed and was just one Foot shot hard.

The ball flew from the gap in the wall to the goal and hit the billboard behind the goal heavily.

The goal was missed, but Notts County still won the game.

Three to one is not a big victory, but Notts County successfully advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup. The curse of four rounds, Notts County, broke!

Wei Xun has already begun to look forward to it. There are only three games left before Notts County won the FA Cup. It turns out that the trophy is within reach.
