Chapter 46
Notts County's staffing is enough to stand out even in the League One, and it has not fallen behind in the contest with the Premier League team. At least for now, they have forced Blackburn to take the high-altitude ball.

Of course, high-altitude ball itself is also what Blackburn is good at, but most of the time, they only use this tactic when facing teams of the same level or even stronger. Facing low-level teams, they usually have no face. So simple and rude.

The problem now is that Notts County's defense is not flawless in defending high-altitude balls, but it is enough to make Blackburn a head-scratcher.

Notts County has five decent central defenders. Except for Carvalho who is injured and unable to play, among the remaining four central defenders, the Dutchman Boulahrouz is the lowest, but the Dutch central defender is sitting On the bench, the two central defenders Westman and Lescott on the field are tall central defenders with a height close to or over 1 meters, which is suitable for dealing with the general style of English football.

Together, the two can almost control more than 90% of the first landing point of the high-altitude ball, which ensures that Notts County's goal is not threatened to the greatest extent.

Seeing that the high-altitude bombing tactics had no effect, Souness was a little helpless. He really didn't know which of the two teams was the Premier League team!
Of course, Blackburn's defense is still good. Although Notts County has an advantage in midfield possession, whenever the ball hits Blackburn's penalty area, it will be cleared by the opponent's sophisticated defense, which does not pose much threat.

The scene in the first half was uneventful. Neither Notts County nor Blackburn raised the pace to the fastest. There was both the intention of testing and the strength of both sides.

Loew was very calm on the sidelines, because no matter how you look at it, the situation is very favorable for Notts County. Even if the 90-minute civil war is tied, the team will not be at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness, not to mention, in order to go further in the cup , The Notts County team has had special penalty kick training.

During the intermission, Loew did not make too many adjustments to the tactics, but just told Alonso to speed up the pace at the right time, and it would be best to catch the opponent by surprise.

Instead, Souness took the lead in making personnel adjustments in the second half, replacing a striker with a midfielder. It seemed that he wanted to stabilize the defense of the midfielder, but in Loew's view, this old-fashioned coach definitely wanted to Boil the frog in warm water, wanting to drag the game into overtime or even a penalty shootout.

Maybe his idea has some truth, because the training of the League Two team is definitely not as standardized as that of the Premier League team, and the schedule of the League Two League is also denser than that of the Premier League. Maybe physical fitness is the Achilles heel of Notts County. An effective breakthrough in the victory over Notts County.

As long as the game is dragged into overtime, they will regain their advantage.

But he didn't know that the physical reserves of the Notts County players are definitely not inferior to those of the Premier League players. The devil's training before the season is not a joke. Many wounded were unable to play, but it was enough for Loew to dispatch troops. Physical fitness is definitely not Notts County's weakness.

He was doomed to return disappointed with such thoughts.

At 75 minutes into the game, Alonso sensed the opponent's intention to stand firm, and quietly accelerated the speed of passing the ball a little. Several players in the midfield quickly realized that this was the signal from the commander.

Surrounding Alonso, several players ran more aggressively, looking for space, and penetrated a little bit towards Blackburn's penalty area, but Blackburn's players seemed to have not noticed this, and they still played in the midfield according to their inherent rules. The rhythm lays out the defense.

After receiving the ball, Alonso reversed the repeated short pass just now, and suddenly made a long pass to find Ribery, who was already approaching the bottom line. Slip towards the goal.

The sudden long pass made Blackburn's defensive players a little confused. A central defender bit the bullet and came over to defend. He didn't stop Ribery from going to the bottom, because he was only one step away from the bottom line. He needed The defense is that Ribery sends the ball into the penalty area. In such a dangerous area, if the ball really appears in front of the goal, the difficulty of defense will increase countless times. Even if a Blackburn player touches it, it is likely to cause an own goal.

But he ignored Ribery's technical characteristics. He saw that the Frenchman buckled his right foot and led forward with his left foot. The ball pressed the bottom line and passed the Blackburn defender. An amazing performance.

The fans in the stands were almost breathless. Although it was only a momentary event, they still had to admire the opponent's player, because no one in the Blackburn team had such a good little skill.

The players and coaches on the Notts County bench stood up excitedly. Ribery's actions touched everyone's hearts, either nervous or excited, as if the heart was about to burst from his mouth.

At this time, Ribery's best choice is to cross the penalty area, which is the greatest threat to Blackburn, and if he chooses to hit the goal directly, it is difficult to send the ball into the goal from such a small angle. Not a mascot, which is the worst kind of choice.

David was a little worried, because Ribery was the most independent player in the team when he came to the team. Although there were some changes during this period, he was really afraid that Ribery would be stubborn at this time. I chose not to do it, but I insisted on shooting myself.

Franck Ribery didn't care that the eyes of the audience were all on him. After approaching the goal, the instep of his right foot waved slightly, and he dodged a small angle, obviously intending to shoot.

The Blackburn goalkeeper had no choice but to take two quick steps forward and block the near corner of the goal. In fact, he hoped that Ribery would shoot. From such a small angle, perhaps only God can score.

But everyone was wrong. Ribery did not choose to shoot, but sent the ball into the penalty area. At this time, because the goalkeeper is in front, all the goals are almost empty. Anyone who can touch the ball, Might all score a goal.

Hubner and Villa both shovel in the middle, hoping to shovel the ball into the goal. The two defenders beside them do the same. The only difference is that they press their feet lower so that they hit the ball. Only when they have a chance to tackle the ball out of the goal range, they don't want to score an own goal.

Due to the speed of the ball, the tackles of the four players missed the football. Before they slowed down, the ball had already reached the back point.

Although Iniesta, who was at the back point, was shaken by the four people in front, he still reacted quickly. He pushed the ball lightly and the ball rolled into Blackburn's goal. The ball shoveled out of the goal, and it couldn't change the fact that the goal was scored.
