Chapter 517
In fact, Notts County's striker position has always been a little thin. Of course, this is compared to other clubs, which often have 4-5 strikers, and Notts County has always insisted on only two strikers.

Loew's tactics are mainly 4231, sometimes it becomes 433, and sometimes even resorts to a frontless formation, so usually there is only one playing position.

Just like other positions, one main player and one rotation substitute are usually enough for the entire season.

The reason there are only two forwards is because there was a winger who was a genuine striker, Dirk Dirk, and he can play at the forward position when he has to, and he can cope with it no matter what.

But it’s different now. Dirk has gone to Liverpool, but Notts County has no player who can play as a guest striker. Even if he plays without a striker, Kaka, who is most suitable as a false center, is injured. Villa and Notts County have no one available at the forward position.

Loew has made up his mind and will discuss with David immediately that Notts County's front line must not have only two genuine strikers next season.

But the first thing that needs to be overcome is the current difficulties. Villa can't handle it alone, and there are still a few games that Villa can't play. Notts County urgently needs a striker to step up.

The first option is to tap the potential within the first team and select a jack-of-all-trades player who can be a pseudo-center forward from among the players to temporarily replace them for two games.

Kaka can't play, probably only Cazorla can give it a try. The Spanish midfielder has good speed and skills. As the panacea in the team, he has played almost any position in the midfield, but he has never played. over the striker;
The transfer window has already closed, and it is impossible to temporarily find a make-up from the transfer market;
The last option is to pick an outstanding striker from the youth academy, which is in line with Notts County's consistent tradition, but Love is a little afraid to give too much hope.

Rick Link is definitely a competent director of youth training. Those who have the strength to enter the first team in the youth training camp have been recommended to Loew. As for those who are not up to the standards of the Notts County first team, they have also been loaned out. After going out, if you want to find treasures from the youth training camp again, there is really little hope.

But with the mentality of giving it a try, Loew came to the youth training base after the training, but he didn't go directly to watch the training of the young players, but went directly to Rick Link.

He hoped that Rick Link would recommend suitable candidates for him, and then he would conduct an investigation, which would save a lot of trouble.

"What, you need a striker to be temporarily promoted to the first team?" Rick Link was a little surprised when he learned of Loew's purpose, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason. Drogba was suspended and Villa One person can't stand such a dense schedule.

Although I am very happy that Love can focus on the youth training camp, Rick Link still smiled helplessly, because there is really no suitable candidate in the youth training camp in Notts County!

"Yuah, you know, if a young player really has the strength to enter the first team, I can't recommend it to you." Rick Link sighed: "There is a forward in 88, although he has not yet Reaching the strength to enter the first team, but it is okay to play a few games temporarily, but he is a non-EU player and cannot obtain a work permit, so it must not work. There are two strikers who were 89 years old. It's a bit too young, not everyone is as enchanting as Rooney, at the age of 15, he is already as strong as a calf!"

Sure enough, Loew also looked helpless, and he knew that the result might be like this.

He also paid attention to the striker in 88. He is a Polish. After this season, David plans to loan him to a satellite club to get a work permit. Now he cannot represent Notts County. It's really too small, so I can't really send elementary school students to play!

Loew, who didn't get any good news from the youth training camp, could only find David, and complained about the problems he was facing. Not to mention whether David could solve it, at least he could give him some comfort!
At this time, David also felt that he had indeed made a mistake in the configuration of the team. If the configuration of the two forwards was not injured, there would be no problem, but how could professional players completely avoid the invasion of injuries? , especially a striker, often needs to engage in physical confrontation with opponents, and the chance of injury is higher.

Next season really needs to add a striker!

However, the team's immediate problems still need to be resolved. Since signings cannot be made, it can only tap the potential internally!

"How many games do you estimate will require other players to temporarily appear in the forward position?" David thought for a while and asked Loew.

Loew had already had a draft and started to talk to David: "The next game against Monaco will definitely require Villa to play, we need this victory; a week later, it will be the fifth round of the League Cup, and this game will also be played. Let Villa play, firstly, enough time to recover, secondly, if we can eliminate our opponents, we will be able to break into the semi-finals of the League Cup, and we can definitely try to win the League Cup.”

"And then there's the league game against West Brom at home, which requires someone to temporarily appear in the striker position."

"If we can beat Monaco in the next game, then the last Champions League group match will allow the reserve team to play, so there is no need to worry about this game."

"The next league game against Newcastle Villa can play, but after the league match with Liverpool, just in time for the European Ballon d'Or award ceremony on that day, Villa will definitely not be able to play, so there is still a need for temporary players. Go up."

"Then we will play against Arsenal in the league. The game time is the day before the World Footballer of the Year awards ceremony. I'm afraid Villa still won't be able to play."

"After this game, Drogba will be able to play after the end of the suspension, so at least someone must play as a striker for three games, and this is on the premise that Villa is not affected by injuries. If Villa is also injured, then Just stop playing!"

After Loew finished speaking, he drank his coffee on his own, leaving David time to think.

David stood in front of the window thinking for a while, had an idea in his mind, and then started talking with Love.

"If you play a 433-[-]-[-] striker formation, you have no other choice but Cazorla. Although he has never played as a striker, it is just a matter of habit. In the next period of training, you can try to let him appear. In this position, I think with his adaptability, he should be competent!"

"Of course, you still have a second option, which is to pull up a defender and use it as a center forward. You have used such a tactic before. I think Ramos is a good choice. You need speed and speed. Skills are required, and he is a defender who has a good sense of positioning and grabbing spots, and the most important thing is that he has a good header, so it won't work for him to play as a center forward for a long time, but I believe there is no problem in a few temporary cameo games!"

Hearing this, Loew's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became enlightened!
