Chapter 164: The League Cup Is Coming

After successfully defending the opponent's striker's attack, it was as if the haze in the sky suddenly dissipated, and the colorful rainbow appeared above his head with his eyes. Gary Cahill felt that this moment was extremely beautiful. A small≧＞Say ﹤≤﹤﹤≦﹤≦

The successful defense has also given him an unprecedented boost in confidence.

Yes, although you are professional players and I am young, it does not mean that I have no choice.

Unlike you, I am destined to become a top central defender, and your careers may only be in the lower leagues.

So, don't think about being able to break my defenses...

Bailey's striker just thought he was being careless. He didn't take Gary Cahill as a child. In his opinion, this child will be blown away by himself, no matter if he is physically or able, as long as he is serious , can definitely be crushed.

Didn't you take me seriously and send children to defend yourself?

Then don't blame yourself for not saving face for you.

In the next attack, the Bailey striker still leaned on Gary Cahill and asked for the ball with his back, and to his surprise, before the ball reached his feet, the child behind him used the same method as before. The ball was stabbed away, and Bailey's attack came to an abrupt end again.

Notts County's counterattack was sharp. Macho took the ball from the right rib and shot another goal. Notts County has led by 3 goals.

Although there is still time in the second half, it is not as simple as saying that if you want to catch up after three goals behind.

For a time, Bailey's players experienced a lot of ups and downs, and it seemed that the daze in front of them had made them lose confidence in this game.

Bailey's striker felt that the whole world was full of malice towards him. He was continuously stealing the ball by a child, and even the eyes of his teammates were full of contempt. go in.

Seeing that there was no suspense in the game, Loew directly replaced Ramos and Babel on the field, and only Joe Hart sat on the bench alone and was depressed.

No way, the three teammates who entered the first team with him all got the chance to play, but the rhythm that he still has to sit on the bench makes him feel a little unable to lift his head.

If four players can be replaced in a game, then he must be able to get a chance to play himself, but why can only three players be replaced in a damn game?

Watching his youth teammates play excitedly on the field,

He really can't wait to stand in front of Notts County's goal, take high and low blocks, and become Notts County's most trusted link.

Looking at the performance of the three youth team players on the field, Loew nodded secretly.

It's very similar to his previous prediction for the three players!

Needless to say, Gary Cahill was a little nervous at first, but then gradually became calm and did a good job in intercepting a few times. Although his strength needs to be improved, he definitely has the potential to become a top central defender;

After Ramos debuted, because the opponent was suppressed, his defensive skills were not reflected, but his ability to assist on the offensive end was well demonstrated. Whether it was a breakthrough or a cross, it was quite organized, and even seemed to be better than the first line. The team's backup right-back Sagna is even higher, and it may not be long before he can have a place in the first team.

As for Babel, his performance is a bit unsatisfactory. Although the breakthrough is very sharp, he feels that the technique under his feet is relatively rough, and he does not handle the connection of technical movements very well, and from the perspective of handling the ball several times, it seems that the ball quotient is not high. , he passed what should have been a breakthrough, but what should have been passed did break through, which really wasted several offensive opportunities.

In Loew's view, perhaps Babel will have the ability to gain a foothold in top league clubs in the future. It is not so easy to become a first-class star or even a superstar.

In addition, although Joe Hart did not get a chance to play, looking at the performance of the three small players, Loew knew that he should also be given a chance in the next game. I believe that David's vision will not disappoint him.

In the end, Notts County easily defeated the opponent in this game and advanced to the next round of the League Cup.

Back in the league, the impact of Alonso's absence is reflected.

In the 7th round, Notts County played away to Burnley. Although they suppressed their opponents, the chaos on the offensive end resulted in Notts County being able to score a single goal in normal games. A draw.

In the 8th round, Notts County still played away, but the opponent was replaced by Brighton, who were also newly promoted last season.

Brighton, the big dark horse last season, is no longer a dark horse. It is struggling in the League One. After being kneaded by the old fritters of League One, they have fallen into the quagmire of relegation from the beginning of the league.

However, the victory that was supposed to be hand-held did not come until the last moment. If it wasn't for Hubernell, who came off the bench, to grab the spot, I'm afraid Notts County would be unable to retire from the away game again.

Of course, this difficult victory was not only due to the absence of the playmaker, but also the reason why Notts County is holding on to the UEFA Cup next week.

Fortunately, although Notts County did not perform well, the performance of other League One competitors was not much better. After two rounds of games, Notts County's lead in the standings has not narrowed, so Notts County can take the lead. Eyes turned to the European competition.

Notts County's opponent in the first round of the UEFA Cup is the Bulgarian team Sofia Central 6th Army.

Although Bulgaria is not even a second-tier league in the European football system, this Sofia Central 6th Army is an uncompromising giant in the Bulgarian league. Won 28 top league titles.

Although many English media believed that Notts County had drawn a good deal before the game, although their opponents were invincible in the Bulgarian league, they could only be regarded as juniors in the European arena. Notts County faced such a third-rate league. A good team is better than meeting a strong team in the five major leagues.

However, Loew will not underestimate the enemy because of this. Even if he does not think that Notts County's strength will be inferior to which team, Notts County lacks European experience.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that not a single player in Notts County has European experience, let alone those young players who have worked hard in the youth academy before. There was no chance to win the European war. As for Alonso and several other players who played in the five major leagues before, they also did not have the opportunity to enter the European war because of the weakness of the old club.

The opponent may have limited strength, but the experience of the European war is much higher than that of Notts County, so Loew has to be cautious. (To be continued.)
