Chapter 27 Heroes in danger

David didn't know that in response to Ribery's special situation, Loew also worked hard.

At the end of the training the next day, Ribery was called by Loew to the office again to open a small stove alone.

The first is to watch the replays of the two consecutive games that Ribery started. As long as Ribery takes the ball, Loew immediately pauses, and then starts to analyze the movements of other teammates at this time, and uses experience to tell Ribery that this time is more important. What is a good choice, how to cooperate with teammates tacitly.

The two stayed in the office until midnight, and the two games were all analyzed.

That's not all. The next day, Xiaozao continued to drive. Loew found a few excellent left midfielders' game videos, and also explained to Ribery with the example of when they were holding the ball on the wing. This process lasted for three days. night.

When Loew told Ribery that the theoretical training was over on the last day, the Scar Warrior had been tortured to the point of saying the word pass involuntarily. It is conceivable how cruel this special training was.

However, the effect of the special training is very obvious. Ribery is also a player who uses his brain to play football. After about a week, although he has not yet reached a complete tacit understanding with his teammates, at least he is no longer the one who only knows how to dribble the ball on the wing. Blindly blue.

Ribery's problem was temporarily resolved, but it was precisely because of the special training for Ribery that Loew caused even more trouble.

Originally, Loew was suspected of being gay. Although David didn't know how this rumor came about, the theory of his previous life was very popular.

Because of the special training for Ribery, the two men stayed in Loew's office every night until late at night, smiling when they knew the truth, and murmured in their hearts who didn't know the truth.

At the beginning, this incident was only circulated among the club staff, but within a few days, it seemed that everyone in Nottinghamshire knew about it.

The media were overjoyed. It turns out that Loew is really a gay guy. They guessed right!

So The Story Loew and Ribery Had to Tell became popular in Nottinghamshire, and the version of the story changed every day.

The thing that makes David laugh the most is that there is a saying that although Ribery is young, the scar on his face makes him fierce. There is no doubt about the roles played by the two of them.

After two rounds of the league, the English League Cup game began, and Notts County's opponent was Northampton.

This opponent, New Notts County is relatively familiar, because the opponent in the first warm-up match is them.

For the League Cup and the FA Cup, two English domestic cups, David still attaches great importance, because the champions of these two cups can participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

It would be a lie to say that David has no plans for next season's UEFA Cup.

According to his plan, the team's technical and tactical needs will take some time to form. If you meet a Premier League or League One team early in the League Cup, you can only give up this cup, but if the opponents encountered in the previous rounds They are all low-level teams, so Notts County can really give it a try. When the technical and tactical system is formed, even if they encounter a Premier League team later, they may not be able to win.

As for the FA Cup, which started late, David was also a little hesitant. Although the team was on the right track when the FA Cup started, the FA Cup is different from the League Cup. The FA Cup is more valued by English teams. The weight is also very heavy. If those mid-level Premier League teams put a lot of effort into the FA Cup, it would be difficult for Notts County to successfully break out of the siege, so it is very tangled.

Forget it, let’s take one step at a time. Anyway, the team’s main task in the past two seasons is to upgrade. On the way to the Premier League, flowers are better, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t.

Since there are only four days before the second round of the league,

Loew decisively took the rotation, although he also hoped that the team can make a breakthrough in the cup, but in order to cope with the third round of the league three days later, the main players must be rested.

Fortunately, the strength of the team's main lineup and the bench lineup is not much different. The big Altintop and Sneijder are in the middle, and Villa's starting partner is a double forward configuration. This is the first time for the Altintop brothers. Started together.

The team seems to be more balanced on offense and defense, but in terms of offense, the big Altintop still has a certain gap from Alonso, so the team is less creative in offense.

Northampton lost the first two rounds of the new season, like Notts County, and Loew thought that the opponent would choose to give up the cup to stay for the next round of the league.

But who would have thought that Northampton's lineup was actually their starting lineup, and it seems that it is definitely going to be in a rhythm with Notts County.

The following games also proved this point. Northampton didn’t mean to pull back at all. They ran aggressively and fought fiercely, as if they were not playing the first round of the League Cup, but the final of the League Cup.

Notts County took the lead in the first half, and Villa received Sneijder's straight shot and scored.

However, in the second half of the game, the situation changed, goalkeeper Diego Lopez strained his muscle when he made a save, and Ben Foster was ordered in danger.

It may be because the warm-up was not sufficient. Ben Foster made a save, and the opponent's striker equalized the score. The two sides returned to the same starting line again.

In the next game, Notts County attacked wildly, but Northampton all retreated, and finally maintained the score of 1:1 until the end of the game, and the two sides entered overtime.

Due to the decline in physical fitness, neither side made any achievements in overtime, and the two sides entered a brutal penalty shootout.

Notts County doesn't even have enough time to practice overall techniques and tactics. How can there be time to practice penalty kicks? At this stage of the game, Loew can't help but sigh deeply. I'm afraid Notts County will be here for this season's League Cup trip. so far.

The fans in the Northampton stand also seemed to feel that the team was in a position to win, and they shouted for the team in unison. Whenever a Northampton player played a free throw, they chanted the player's name, and when the Notts County players When the free throw was made, it was booing.

Northampton's first free-throw player tricked Ben Foster into scoring, while Notts County's first free-throw player slipped and kicked the ball away.

The home fans in the stands were elated, as if it were Christmas, and Villa walked back to his own queue with a dejected face.

Seeing that Villa failed to score a penalty kick, whether it was Loew or David, knew that the situation might be over, but fortunately, he sat quietly in his seat and watched the players take free throws.

However, it seems that God is not willing to let Notts County be eliminated from the League Cup early. At this time, the savior appeared.

Ben Foster, a young English goalkeeper, usually does not show much, and he can't compete with Diego Lopez within the team. He can only be the second goalkeeper of the team, but no one thought that it would be difficult in the team. When the inconspicuous goalkeeper stood up.
