Chapter 208 Secret Weapon?

In the past, partners left to play for other clubs, they were all on loan, and they will come back after a while. But now Reina and Aveiroa are permanent transfers. Even though Notts County's upward momentum is obvious, Notts County players don't think they will reunite with themselves in Notts County in the short term. .

Everyone in Notts County has no appetite for this farewell meal at Wangjiang Tower. The atmosphere in the private room is also very dull and depressing. The good brother is leaving, the team has lost, and Esayas is still there. The police station is closed. Although Van Persie is also sitting here, he still has a brace on his leg. It is hard to bear the above things.

Even Wei Xun and Frank Ribery, who have always liked the active atmosphere, have nothing to say, and feel uncomfortable. Besides, this is not a suitable occasion for joking.

…

Reina and Aveiroa got in the car and left. Wei Xun and the players didn't cry until the moment they really waved goodbye. The man had tears but didn't flick, but he didn't feel sad.

Regardless of how heroic I said before, or what nonsense that I would not cry, when it was time to say goodbye, Mertesacker and Balzali, who cried the most fiercely at that time, also cried the worst. The two middle two boys sniffed and wiped their tears, cuddling each other.

Fortunately, no one laughed at them at this moment.

…

On this day of New Year's Day, the Notts County base is filled with a fiery atmosphere to welcome the New Year, which slightly dilutes some of the embarrassing situation of the previous round of league losses. Eat and drink well, just to meet Notts County's next opponent.

Wei Xun and Zhao Tai rarely drank some wine with their grandfather. They sighed how fast time flies. It has been three years since they came to Notts County, while the old man Wei Anguo is happy with Wei Xun and Zhao Tai. Speaking of some embarrassment between the two of them when they were young, they held a wine glass in one hand and gestured with the other.

"At that time, the two of you were so tall, you know, crying every day, making trouble for me, your grandma is still reluctant to beat you..."

Teacher Huang and Zhang Jing sat with their mouths pursed and laughed, listening carefully to the funny stories of their husbands, and telling them to their children in the future is also a good source of conversation.

On January 2, the first game of the new year, Notts County welcomed their opponent in the third round of the FA Cup at home, Oxford United.

No one will question why a fourth-level team will reach the third round of the FA Cup. Notts County has done such a thing before, so it’s no surprise that this is a hotbed of upset. .

This is a team that ancestors have also surpassed. Six years ago, Oxford United was still a second-tier English league team. Unfortunately, they were tragically relegated to the second division in the 1989 season, and then they were relegated to the non-professional national league, and they have been dormant in the amateur league. With.

In real history, Oxford United still failed to upgrade successfully this season, and they are only one point away from the upgrade play-offs. This is probably the closest they have been to a professional league. Next season, they once boarded the top of the standings, but as the coach changed midway, caused the turmoil of the team, they eventually failed to upgrade.

Facing such a team with relatively weak strength and tragic fate, Guardiola chose to rotate. Some players in the Shuguang Youth Training Camp got the opportunity to start the game and came in to train the excellent Warren Doyle and Junior. Curtis took the starting position directly.

This time, the plot did not develop in the opposite direction. Notts County declared the team's recovery with a victory at home. The German striker Klose, who started the game, scored twice, and Notts County rookie Warren Doyle also scored a goal. In addition, all three goals were scored in the first half. of.

It is worth mentioning that Notts County's three goals all came from set kicks. The teenager Warren Doyle himself created a free kick in the frontcourt with a good position. Everyone knows that he will practice free kicks every night, so he gave Warren Doyle the opportunity to take a set kick.

Affectionately kissed the ball, then carefully placed the ball, calculated the steps, Warren Doyle took a direct free kick and shot it in one go! In the thirteenth and thirty-ninth minutes of the game, Warren Doyler, who was very smooth today, used two set-piece opportunities to assist the German Klose, who scored easily. Two headers.

Notts County used actual action to tell Oxford United what is dominance. They scored 30 shots and 65 percent of the ball in the game, while the Oxford United only had a pitiful five shots. .

Shuguang Youth Academy rookie Warren Doyle won the best player of the game with one goal and two assists. This is the first time the young man has won this honor.

At the press conference after the game, Warren Doyle once again followed Guardiola to show his face in front of the media reporters for a while:

"Warren, could you please comment on your performance first? If it is 10, how would you rate yourself?"

Warren Doyler didn't expect the reporter to ask himself questions as soon as the reporter came up. This seemed a bit inappropriate. The boy looked up at Guardiola. After getting the coach's affirmative look, the boy said excitedly:

"I think I performed very well today. Just give myself eight points. I am very grateful to the coach for giving me this opportunity. Today is a very special day in my career! Next I will continue to train hard."

"Coach Josep, we see that the three goals of Notts County today came from set kicks. Is this a new tactic that Notts County is practicing recently? Is it a secret weapon for the second half of the league?"

When a reporter asked this question, Guardiola couldn't help but smile, but his facial expression did not change much.

Will there be any professional football clubs in the world without set-kick tactics?

should not.

But tactics can only be achieved when players have a strong execution ability, especially set-pieces.

"Um, Miss reporter, this question is really difficult to answer. We don’t have any secret weapons. Positioning is a means of scoring that we have always attached great importance to. It’s just that Warren’s feet feel very good today, and we happen to have none. Other ways of scoring, so this point is magnified.

If you have to have a secret weapon, I think it should be Warren and the others who are training hard all the time. Thank you very much to my players. Their performance today is very wonderful..."

After being praised and encouraged by the coach, the reporter asked questions, scored a goal and sent two assists, and also won the best player of the game. Warren Doyle ran away in tears, what day is it today!

It is said that this kid was so excited that he didn't even sleep well that night, and size is also an honor.
