King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 402 Time, fate

Chapter 4: Time, Fate

In this game, the duel between the midfielders of the two teams is a highlight. Notts County is a luxurious combination of the Dutch and Brazilian national teams, while Valencia's midfielder is the configuration of the Spanish national team.

Needless to say, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, the champions of the World Cup in Korea and Japan, know how strong these two partners are, not to mention the attack of "Wild Boar" Edgar Davis. Yes, plus Sneijder, Notts County's midfield configuration is luxurious enough.

Albelda is the captain of this Valencia team, the best defensive player in La Liga in the [-] season, and a full-fledged midfield barrier player. The only shortcoming of this person may be that his attack power is a bit weak.

In the eyes of many "Bat Legion" fans, the captain's attack power is almost zero.

Albelda's partner, Baraja, can be said to be one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe. The Spaniard only played half of the season in [-] and won the top scorer in the Valencia team. He has both offense and defense. , he and Albelda just complement each other.

Angulo, whose full name is a bit long, is one of the older players in the Valencia team and one of the main players left over from the era of Ranieri, the former captain of the Spanish Olympic team. The red and purple star, his skills are not improving fast now, but his temper is not small.

Vicente Rodriguez, the Spanish international, can be called "Spain's Overmars".Today, the real Overmars is sitting on the opponent's bench, and Vicente is full of energy.

The disadvantage of the Spaniard is that his style of play is too single, his breakthrough relies solely on his speed, and he is easy to be stared at by opponents in positional battles and when facing dense defenses. Guardiola has also explained this in detail to the Notts County players. pass.

"Double-teaming, oppressing, harassing, the last blow is fatal!"

This is the defensive strategy developed by the old Mertesacker and several veteran defenders for the players on the wing.

Valencia's main right midfielder Francesco Rufete is to fill the huge gap left by Mendieta's transfer to Lazio. The matchup between Bio Grosso and him should be very interesting.

In the No.15 minute of the first half, Ronaldinho, who is both a father and a mother, received Drogba's ball and sent a precise through ball. Dani Alves relied on his speed advantage to make a living. Surpassed Valencia defender Torres, but the handling of the final push from the far corner was a bit rough.

Curro Torres is a Catalan born in Germany and finally chose to represent the Spanish national team.He has excellent offense and defense in his career, and also participated in the World Cup in Korea and Japan.After suffering a serious injury, his speed has indeed deteriorated a bit, but Vicente Wildjo on the bench is not as good as Torres.

Now that they have already played a defensive counterattack, the Notts County people are not hypocritical. Didier Drogba was very happy in this game. His teammates smashed the ball on his head frantically, making the ball or shooting. Ivorians are in pain and joy.

No.19 minutes, after Didier Drogba stopped the ball with his chest, he held the new international player Marchena of the Spanish national team. He turned around and shot, but the angle of the shot was not opened. Canizares will make a save and fail to score.

Although the Spanish goalkeeper is short in stature, he has quick reactions and quick movements. This is also the biggest factor for him to overwhelm Parop and David Rangel as the team's starting goalkeeper.

The team's Argentine Ayala has fierce steals and super jumping ability, which is similar to Notts County defender Cannavaro.Relying on his height advantage, Drogba can barely handle it, and Marchena not only has a strong foot when stealing, but this guy is also strong in his position. He can not only play as a central defender, but also as a midfielder.

It is estimated that after a game, Drogba's muscles all over his body will be very sore.

Seven minutes later Didier Drogba won a valuable set-piece for Notts County as he struggled with Marchena.Too far away for a shot, Ronaldinho's free-kick was passed into the penalty area, and Valencia goalkeeper Canizares deflected the ball and picked it up firmly.

Wei Xun is also very helpless with this kind of ball. Except for the future president, in the penalty area, no one can be a goalkeeper who can use his hands.

After entering the physical bottleneck period, Notts County, who is on the defensive side, is even more disadvantaged in terms of physical fitness. The Italian left back Fabio Grosso made a mistake in his busy schedule and even passed the ball to his opponent when he made a clearance. The shot is saved by Edwin van der Sar.

"I bought a watch last year, and you pass the ball, man!"

Angulo, who was not far from Mista, yelled at Mista and spread his hands helplessly. He was empty just now, why didn't the ball be passed to him?

Unexpectedly, Mista did not look at Angulo at all. As a direct disciple of the team coach Benitez, a typical nine and a half player, the team's top scorer, the 24-year-old Mista has the envy of forwards. Unlimited firing rights.

"I can hit if I want, it's none of your business!"

Seeing that Mista didn't answer him, Angulo, who became angry, spit a mouthful of yellow phlegm on the turf in Gothenburg, and walked outside the restricted area in Notts County, cursing.

In the 304th minute of the first half, Vicente took one step from the wing. After getting down to the bottom line, the inverted triangle pass passed Dani Alves, but failed to pass Cannavaro, the pinnacle of Notts County. , the Italian made a flying shovel to clear the ball except for the bottom line.

corner kick!

"Fabio, come forward, don't miss anyone!"

"Yes, yes, that's it, follow the people and explain them clearly!"

Edwin van der Sar, as the captain on the field, also shouldered the responsibility of commanding the set-piece defense. Several Valencia players moved back and forth in the penalty area, which almost disrupted the Notts County defense. Yes, he must remind his teammates.

"Clearly explain your hands, and pay attention to the whistle!"

The bald-headed Collina did not give up this opportunity, and showed his face in front of the players of both sides, forcing the Notts County players to raise their hands behind their backs, indicating that they did not pull the opponent's players.

"Beep~!"

After the whistle, Albelda took a corner kick on the right. Unexpectedly, there was still chaos in the Notts County penalty area. Edwin van der Sar had no choice but to abandon the goal and attack. They collided together, causing the Dutchman to fail to get or hit the ball.

The two fell to the ground in pain, and neither of them touched the ball, but the ball itself was restless, it hit Cannavaro's body and bounced into the net.

The players and coaches on both sides are very anxious, one is worried about the player's injury, and the other is waiting for the referee's penalty, how will this ball be counted.

The bald-headed referee Collina greeted the medical staff to enter the field, and on the other hand, he hurried to the sidelines to communicate with the line referees. After discussing with the referee team, they agreed that there was no problem with the goal. Mista did not charge the Notts County keeper.

So, the goal works!

Tens of thousands of fans who supported Notts County agreed, and there were boos everywhere. There was even a green laser light, which passed through thousands of mountains and waters, and shone on the bald Collina's forehead, shining brightly.

The Notts County players were surprisingly calm. After defending for so long, they were almost on the verge of success, but they didn't expect to be pierced through the goal by an accident!
Time and life.

In the second minute of stoppage time, the unsupported Fabio Grosso took an unreasonable long-range shot from the front of the Valencia penalty area. The ball hit the goal area, but it was easily taken by Canizares. Down.

After 45 minutes in the first half, Notts County was [-]-[-], temporarily behind the newly crowned La Liga champions Valencia.
