Chapter 270 The Missing Ring

Chapter 270 The Missing Link

Porto, who had one less player to fight, retreated to defend, and they also successfully defended the current score until the end of the first half.

"There should be no suspense in the game. Even if I don't understand it, I can feel that the two teams are not at the same level. It's really strange!" Jun Zhixian asked a little puzzled.

Before the game, she learned that David's Notts County is a second-tier league team, and Porto is a well-known club in Europe, but after half the game, why did it seem to be the exact opposite of what David said?

Did David lie to himself?

David didn't know how to answer Quan Zhixian's question.

Judging from the current strength of the two teams, they should be considered evenly matched. Notts County is stronger offensively, and Porto is stronger defensively. The grasp of victory.

And today's wonderful start was a complete surprise. Even if they play a hundred games, the same situation may not necessarily happen.

As for the opponent being sent off, it seemed a little unbelievable. God knows if he forgot to take his medicine in the morning.

"Although I have great confidence in Notts County's strength, I can only say that this first half was an accident!" Spreading his hands, David explained gently.

Quan Zhixian nodded his head half-understood, but still looked at a loss.

During the intermission, although David was chatting with Jun Ji-hyun, his mind was not on it at all. The key final, the key championship, David felt that he was a little worried about gains and losses.

And Quan Zhixian also seemed to see David's absent-mindedness, and thinking about the importance of this game, she didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she observed everything in the football field with great interest, all of which seemed very important to her. novel.

The second half started quickly, and there were only 45 minutes to go before the Notts County club's first UEFA Cup trophy in the history, provided that Porto did not equalize in this period.

Porto's formation has become 4131. Although no personnel adjustments have been made, and the formation has not changed much after sending off one person, the positions of these three lines have retreated significantly, and it seems that the defense will be carried out to the end.

The staff of Notts County has not changed in any way. After all, they are leading the score. Loew can calmly wait for Porto to make a move. You know, Porto cannot win the championship when they only defend.

In fact, Loew has already figured out Mourinho's careful thinking. It is nothing more than holding on to the first 80 minutes, and then showing his fangs at the last moment. If the game is successful, then the game will be dragged into overtime or a penalty shootout, which is what they really need.

The premise of this strategy is not to concede the ball. If the score gap is drawn to two goals, then there will be no so-called last-minute sprint, and it will be fine to attack directly now.

The rhythm of Notts County's attack is very good, and it does not aim at the ultimate lethality.

At the 70th minute of the game, Loew felt that Notts County had been very successful in suppressing Porto. No goal was scored, indicating that the details of the last kick were not enough, so he was the first to take the initiative to make adjustments.

Di Natale off, Villa on!

This is an alignment adjustment. Although the overall qualities of the two strikers are similar, Villa's ability to grab points is better, so Loew hopes that Villa can give full play to his advantages and help Notts County lock victory.

When Di Natale left the field, the Notts County fans in the stands applauded the Italian striker unanimously. Even if Di Natale did not score in this game, it was enough to make them worship.

After the substitution adjustment, Notts County's offense began to slowly penetrate from the ribs to the middle, and the players also knew Loew's intention to make personnel adjustments.

As Porto's substitute for Carvalho, Emmanuel's performance is still stable, but he is far from reaching the height of Carvalho. Able to let the slippery Villa get a chance to shoot.

Compared to this time, Porto's players should miss Carvalho, their former defensive lineman.

Considering that the team's real midfielder, Deco, will also play for Notts County next season, is Notts County, a team that should have continued to hang out in League One, really Porto's nemesis?

Perhaps it was overwhelmed by Notts County's real strength, or Porto's tactics were like this. Notts County besieged Porto for a long time in the second half.

Facing a real defensive champion, Notts County seems to have some shortcomings. David can't see it very clearly, but Love knows it very well, especially through this game, he clearly realized this.

Notts County are short of a star in the middle who can really go forward, whether it is to send the ball forward, or simply carry the ball forward.

Such a player can make the opponent's defense simply overwhelmed, but Notts County lacks such a player.

In fact, in David's previous life, he didn't think that there were a few players with such powerful abilities.

One is Messi, whose breakthrough can achieve this, and the other is Ozil, whose 272 through ball can completely achieve the same effect, which no one else can do.

In the current team, Sneijder has the ability to pass a straight ball in the frontcourt, but he is not yet at the top of the world. Messi is okay. After all, he has come to the youth training camp in Notts County. Talent will surely reach its due height in the future.

Loew frowned on the sidelines. Although the score was leading, he still couldn't take it lightly. Until the moment the game ended, it couldn't be considered over.

Scoring a goal as soon as possible and securing the victory is the best result, but after a long time of siege, Porto still hasn't lost a hair.

It would be no fun if Porto stole a chicken!

After pondering for a while, Loew gave new instructions to the players on the field. They stopped attacking and handed over the initiative to Porto. There are space restrictions. With Porto's offense, I am afraid they cannot really threaten Notts County. goal.

Soon, the Porto players who have been busy defending will choose a good opportunity to make a shot when they have the opportunity. Although they may not invest many troops, the threat is huge.

It is necessary for Notts County to pay attention to the rear defense while planning.
