Although it is a UEFA Cup match, but because the UEFA Champions League group stage is at a critical moment, the media have focused their attention on the UEFA Champions League, so this game is obviously not taken seriously. One novel≦<<
Because of the short distance, Notts County only came to Glasgow one day in advance to adapt to the venue. Before that, he was doing targeted preparations at his training base.
Loew, with large dark circles on the training ground, clearly felt that he had not enough sleep in recent days.
This game is very important for Knotts County, it is really sloppy.
The hard power of the Celtics ranks absolutely top among all the teams participating in the UEFA Cup. It will not be inferior to the strong teams in the five major leagues. Moreover, the opponent is also a hegemony in the Soviet Union. Reasonable and experienced, these are not available in Notts County.
Perhaps in terms of paper strength, Notts County is not inferior, or even slightly higher, but football games are often not as simple as beams.
Cup games, especially the important cup games such as the League Cup, are completely different from playing league games.
There are 38 games in a season in the league, and there are even 46 games in the Premier League. In the league, the strong team is the strong team. Even if the chain is lost in two games, it will not affect the final result of the entire season.
But the nature of the cup is completely different. Even if there is a slight difference in strength between the two rounds of home and away games, as long as the tactics are properly arranged, coupled with favorable circumstances and some external factors, the result of the game is very suspenseful.
Notts County players are generally young and have no European experience. Young people are prone to mental fluctuations in different situations, which can affect the entire game.
Looking at it now, Notts County has no advantage at all.
This is what Loew is worried about.
If you are beaten by a veteran opponent on the road, then even returning to home will not help.
So this game is very important for Notts County, who is determined to win the league cup, and it is even more important than the final.
Winning and knocking out opponents will not only advance smoothly to the next round, but also allow players to accumulate enough experience so that subsequent games will also be much smoother.
If Alonso is not injured, maybe Love will not be so worried, but now that the most important part of the Notts County tactical system is missing, Love is really unsure of this guest battle.
Sure enough, as expected by Lough, the young players of Knotts County were still too young and had too little experience in the European War. After the opening attack, the opponent scored a goal. Too.
Just like that sentence, the downwind ball will kick, the upwind ball will not work, Notts County is now in this state.
The opening goal was a bit unexpected, but the players' psychological ups and downs were very large, and it was easy to lose their minds after the goal was dropped. The offensive player wanted to increase the offensive force to equalize the score as soon as possible, while the defensive player wanted to strengthen the defense to prevent the opponent's segment Score again within the time.
As a result, Knotts County is not passive on the court.
boom!
boom!
Two more goals were scored by the opponent!
At the end of the first half, Notts County returned to the locker room with a score of three goals behind.
From David's entry to Notts County to now, Notts County has lost three goals, but not three goals in the half, and the scene is still so embarrassed.
The players sagged their heads and returned to the locker room in frustration, as if the sky had collapsed and pressed them over their heads.
Loew's expression was slightly serious, and it was uncomfortable to see the players with low morale.
There are also some reasons for this embarrassment. If he can make adjustments immediately after losing the ball, he may still not be able to change the passive situation, but at least the score may not be so disparate, as if it is not a level team. The contest is the same.
"Perhaps we have been too smooth, and when facing difficulties, we have forgotten how to play!"
Loew looked at these downcast children, clapped their hands, and attracted their attention, and said seriously: "So we can change the way now, remember last season we eliminated Arsenal in the League Cup?"
The team members nodded in unison, recalling the game that made flying.
"Arsenal are strong. We challenged as a weak man and defeated our opponents with extreme defense and sharp counterattacks."
"Maybe you think the Celtics are strong, but they can't be stronger than Arsenal!"
"So, we can beat Arsenal, why can't we beat the Celtics in the same way?"
Luff's voice was full of confusion, attracting the players' thoughts from the far sky.
Yes indeed!
Can the Celtics be better than Arsenal?
We can even eliminate Arsenal. How can we fall under the Celtics?
Then let us once again take the most extreme means to kill the Celtics!
As for conservative tactics unpopular?
Let those **** go!
The players' eyes seemed to have ignited a raging fire, and the momentum of victory prevailed behind them.
At the beginning of the second half, Knotts County swept away the confusion on the court in the first half, and also changed the style of play. The whole team concentrated on returning to their own half to participate in the defense.
The Celtics felt even more disdainful when they saw a change in Notts County's tactics.
By the time the lottery was drawn to the Premier League club in Notts County, the Celtics had put themselves on the 32nd place in the UEFA Cup because they did not feel that they might lose to a second England team. The team in the level league.
AdmittedlyScotland football can't catch up with England, but he is the champion of Sue, at least the middle level of the British, is it possible to lose to a La Liga club?
After the start of the game, the three clean goals drove the opponent to collapse.
Even in Su, such an easy game is rare!
In the second half, the opponent has already started to defend the team. Obviously, he has given up the offense and only asked for a few fewer **** to save himself a little face.
Is this the rhythm of punching out early?
Notts County players don’t know what the Celtics players are thinking about. If they know, then they will sneer and then wait to see their opponents swallow all their arrogance.
When Notts County regained its defense, the Celtics had little chance of attacking. First, it was because of a relaxed mentality, and secondly, the strength of Notts County's defense. It was not so easy to break through.
The Celtics attacked slowly, and the situation of Notts County's desperate defense continued for 15 minutes. (To be continued.)
