Chapter 393 Singing the Marseillaise (Part [-])

Marseille's posture is very low. Although it is a four-four-two diamond position, the two midfielders on the wing also shrank in the middle, helping Flamini and others to defend. Although the weak back line is in the UEFA Cup Outstanding performance in the field, but in the face of Notts County, which has a strong offensive strength, it still needs to base itself on defense.

Fortunately, the head coach of the Marseille team is a sensible person.

At the beginning of the game, Notts County's Knocking Mountain Tiger did not get a corner kick. Butters and Notts County played against each other in the cup match. He knows Notts County's routine very well:
The striker kicks off the ball and gives the ball to the midfielder, or the unmarked winger. The latter catches up with a lob shot, and if he touches it, it is a corner kick.

If it was a young goalkeeper, it might be a real disadvantage, but Butters stood quietly on the goal line, and he did not panic at all, and resolved the danger.

A large number of players were hoarded in Marseille's own half, which made the game fall into the rhythm of half-court offense and defense early. Notts County is very accustomed to this mode. For dense defense, they have a lot of ways:
In the 5th minute of the game, Didier Drogba received a cross from Arjen Robben on the right, knocked away the Brazilian central defender Ferreira who was pulling his jersey, and was about one meter outside the small penalty area. He hit the goal with his right foot, and the ball hit another central defender Mette and went out of the penalty area.

Subsequently, Marseille took advantage of the opportunity of Notts County's heavy pressure and launched a quick counterattack. Merian found Marley, who was ambushing beside Cannavaro and Abelardo, on the left. With the speed advantage, he hit the two veterans. When the left back Fabio Grosso was about to catch up with him, he hit the goal with his right foot and got a corner kick.

Merian's corner kick was taken, and there was only Marley in the penalty area. Who knows how the Marseille striker grabbed the spot and made a shot in the double-team of the Notts County player. Fortunately, his left foot hit the goal at the end Also missed.

"I really didn't see it, this guy is still this two-footed striker!"

It was also this goal that made Cannavaro a little bit interested in this little-known little role.

Notts County has a lot of offensive and defensive weapons in the half-court, such as long-range shots, wide crosses or personal breakthroughs. In the lineup of the Premier League team, there are really not many stunts that can be used.

In the No.12 minute of the game, Brazilian international Ronaldinho showed his extraordinary skills, a turbulent oxtail, and then the outside of the foot to the other side, the Dutch midfielder Sneijder greeted the ball An angry shot, the goalkeeper Fabian Butters bravely resolved the ball.

"yeah!"

"what!"

Fabian Butters punched and shouted continuously, which can be regarded as a release of the ten-minute game.

Notts County lingered outside the penalty area in Marseille for a long time, but refused to go in, but the bald head was so anxious that he finally managed to hold back a shot, but it made Butters a lot easier, after all, he was released.

Four minutes later, Mette and Ferreira on Marseille's defense made a mistake. Ferreira's header did not go far. Ronaldinho's corner kick was fast. Italian left back Fabio Grosso grabbed the second spot just outside the box and a left-footed volley fired the flak.

"Fake!"

Grosso shook his hand angrily, and rushed to his defense zone.Just now Marseille took advantage of the vacancy of his assist to launch a counterattack. The same mistake should be avoided as much as possible.

The Marseille team has been unable to deliver the ball to the Notts County penalty area through conduction. Their current style of play is very simple. The backcourt long pass, the frontcourt finds the fulcrum, and when it is taken down, it will cover the side, bottom, and then pass into the penalty area. , Return to defense if you can't grab a shot.

But sometimes, there will be some unexpected situations, and there is no room to pass from the wing, and the players will become more direct. For example, just now, two midfielders completed a connection. Ndiaye made a long pass from the backcourt, and Flamini hit the goal with his right foot from the ribs of the penalty area, which was a hair's breadth away.

"Brother Edgar, can you be more ruthless, and don't let them kick the ball so easily!"

Benjamin Foster, who was standing on the goal line, was frightened into a cold sweat. If he was always hit by his opponent so quickly, if he didn't pay attention, the opponent might score a goal.

"Okay!"

Now that he agreed to the little brother, Edgar Davis naturally had to do something to prove it. After stealing Flamini, the Dutch "Wild Boar" directly shot a long shot 40 meters away from the goal.

It may also be that the ball was just stolen, and the soles of the feet were not controlled. From such a long distance, the ball could be higher than the crossbar, and flew directly into the stands, knocking over a drink in the hand of a spectator. The fault is not the hot water Otherwise, Davis probably would have to compensate other female fans.

When the game progressed to No. 20 minutes, Marseille, who was at home, took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field:

The worthy midfielder Merian personally created this corner kick, the same kick-off method, and the Notts County people were also very well prepared, but the potential rising star Flamini just found an opportunity, from Cannavaro's armpit Passed through and completed a header on the right side of the small penalty area.

The ball went straight to the dead corner, Benjamin Foster sat on the ground slumped, watching this Frenchman, who was as young as himself, snatch the ball from his side, and rushed to the corner!

Flamini was carried on his shoulders by Ndiaye in this way. Other teammates waved their fists in the area where Marseille fans gathered, while the French star kissed his chest again and again. team logo.

Next, they just need to stick to the defensive counterattack!
The Maasai celebrations, however, appear to have come too soon.

The flag raised in the hands of the line referee made the Marseille fans happy. After a brief communication between the referee and the line referee, the referee made a penalty:

Marseille central defender Ferreira blocked Cannavaro and Abelardo when trying to grab points in the penalty area, which was equivalent to an illegal pick-and-roll, which not only tripped Abelardo, but also facilitated Flamini's shot , is an offensive foul, and Flamini's goal is invalid.

The score remained unchanged and remained at zero to zero. The originally lively stadium did not fall silent. Hundreds of Notts County fans, under the call of David Prowse, uttered their voices.

One to zero, zero to zero, these are two completely different concepts.

The Notts County native who always thought that Marseille was a soft persimmon, after being repeatedly reminded by his opponent, the string in his heart finally began to tighten slowly.

No. In the 306th minute, Ronaldinho, who was actively returning to defense, fell to the ground and tripped Flamini, who was advancing with the ball. The French midfielder was very smart. Notts County midfielder has received a yellow card.

At the end of the first half, neither side made any achievements. After halftime, Notts County and Marseille temporarily drew [-]-[-].

When walking to the locker room, Flamini and captain Merian were still communicating with the referee, 100% talking about the goal that was disallowed. In this era, there are no video assistant referees, and the referee has no What is called is a foul, even if a misjudgment occurs, it cannot be changed.

Consider yourself unlucky. If the referee finds out with conscience, he may make up for some fouls.
