Chapter 103 Suspense Rises
After winning the League Cup and returning to League Two, Notts County won the championship and promoted early, but it was not so smooth, which was unexpected by many people.

On February 2, they played against Wigan Athletic at home. The opponent is currently ranked fifth in the league and is fighting for a qualification for promotion to the play-offs. To fight to the death.

Due to the fact that there was no formal training two days after winning the championship, the players were a little tired physically and their condition had declined significantly. Coupled with the mental slack after winning the championship, they were actually scored twice at home by their opponents, and they ended up in the third game of the season. defeat.

Although Loew didn't lose his temper after the game, judging from his attitude during the training, it was obvious that the young coach was very angry. The players had been drilled enough during the few days of training.

A revamped Notts County host Blackpool for a second consecutive home game in their first league game in March.

This is a closely watched game, with opponents still under pressure to avoid relegation and Notts County looking to consolidate their lead at the top of the table, so this game is bound to be exciting.

The final result of the game made many people feel unacceptable. Notts County once again suffered a defeat at the Meadow Lane Stadium. After winning the League Cup, they lost two consecutive games in the League Two. Compared with stable performance, Notts County in front of me seems to have changed a team.

Those who have watched the game will feel sorry for Notts County, because in fact the Magpies played well, at least they have returned to the unstoppable state of the middle of the league, but the problem is that today's opponents played even more weirdly, and finally Coupled with Notts County's bad luck as if possessed by a demon, it is normal to lose the game.

In the first half, Notts County was scored first by Hubnell, leading Blackpool early, and also controlled the situation on the field very well, as if a victory was within reach.

But after scoring the goal, Notts County seemed to be cursed, and all kinds of shots failed to score. In the first half, 16 shots were taken, and 9 shots were on target. They were either resolved by Blackpool goalkeeper Superman, or " "Dangdang" the door frame kept beating, and the Notts County players missed the goal that they thought they would score. From their shocked expressions, it seemed that they saw the **** that the home door frame turned into an uprising against them.

In any case, Notts County took the lead in the first half, and the trend of the game was also good, but when the second half started, the situation changed suddenly.

Blackpool, who kicked off in the second half, launched a wave of offensive directly, piercing Notts County's defense line, making Notts County, who had not yet come out of the weird situation in the first half, embarrassed, and finally relied on a long shot, Blackpool leveled the score.

Notts County, who woke up from a dream, immediately launched the most intense counterattack. Almost all the members overwhelmed half the court, and the offensive wave after wave was like a stormy sea. , there is a possibility of being overturned at any time, and the ship may be destroyed.

But today is really unspeakable. Notts County's home goal seems to be erected in front of a transparent wall, blocking Notts County's countless shots.

David sat on the coach's bench with an expression of seeing God. Isn't today really an auspicious day for the game?
And bad luck seems to be contagious. Even captain Alonso, who is usually in the most stable state, staged a funny show today that made people laugh out loud.

Iniesta took a corner kick and Lescott grabbed the first point, but he didn't shake his head to attack the goal or ferry back. Instead, he took the corner kick hard to the outside of the penalty area.

This is one of Notts County's corner kick changes. At this time, there must be players ambushing outside the penalty area and can shoot directly at the ball. As long as the footwork is well controlled, the probability of breaking the opponent's goal is not low.

Alonso was lying in ambush here. Facing the incoming ball, without any distractions, he swung his right foot and slammed into the middle and lower part of the ball, in a standard volley shooting posture.

Blackpool's players and goalkeepers are on the verge of a formidable enemy. Everyone knows how great this shot threat is. The midfielder who lost his position and missed Alonso just now can't wait to make up for his fault by blocking the eye. If Notts County And scoring goals and winning the game, then he himself is Blackpool's biggest sinner.

In their uneasy expressions, their eyes followed the flight path of the ball, slowly, squinted, turned their heads, and watched the ball fly towards the corner.
Iniesta had just taken a corner kick and hadn't run far from the corner kick. He was stunned to see the ball flying back towards him. He subconsciously stopped the ball with his chest, and then controlled the ball with his feet. Just about to continue attacking, the referee The whistle sounded out of time.

Offside!

Everyone had unbelievable expressions on their faces, as if they had never seen such a powerful Flying Immortal from Heaven before. However, the accuracy of this Flying Immortal from Heaven was a bit overwhelming.

Alonso himself looked like a sun-drenched dog, wishing to find a crack in the ground and get in, and he felt bad all of a sudden.

David looked overjoyed on the sidelines. It was rare to see such a funny scene. I am afraid that this shot will become the headlines of some media the next day.

Who has ever seen a shot from the top of the penalty area go directly to the corner?
Maybe you have heard of it, but it is definitely not as refreshing as seeing it with your own eyes today!

When the Notts County players realized it, they couldn't help laughing on the field. They really couldn't imagine that their captain had such a skill!
Even the captain behaved like this, let alone the other team members, jingling and shooting, but in the end they got nothing.

On the contrary, the opponent got a chance to counterattack in stoppage time and knocked on Notts County's goal again.

In this way, Notts County actually achieved a terrible two-game losing streak at home, leaving countless professionals dumbfounded and speechless.

Taking advantage of Notts County's losing streak, the other teams behind them seized the opportunity and tried to catch up, seriously threatening Notts County's position in the standings.

The original 11-point advantage over Brighton has shrunk to 5 points, but it is only a gap between two games.

This is not the most serious, because there are two places for direct promotion in League Two. Even if Brighton surpasses them, they can still be promoted to League One as the runner-up of the league. Wigan Athletic in Notts County, and also took this opportunity to narrow the gap, which is really worrying.

There is a 9-point gap between Reading and Notts County, while Mansfield and Wigan Athletic are 10 points behind Notts County. With 9 rounds left in the league, the suspense of competing for two direct promotion places is back.
