Chapter 73 Brighton is suffocating

David thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a clue. It seems that this issue can only be discussed with Loew and others after returning to the club. On this issue, Loew may have more say.

After returning to Notts County, David was in a good mood. Although it was a six-point top battle with Brighton that night, there is no reason or excuse for Notts County to lose. At least for now, it seems that strong as Brighton is also It's hard to threaten Notts County's top spot in the league.

For fans of the two teams, this game is a Christmas gluttonous battle. At least compared to usual, this game has less gunpowder smell of victory and defeat, and more festive atmosphere.

Of course, this is also related to the situation of the two clubs in the league standings. Even if there is a 6-point gap between the two teams, in the state of the two teams, it is difficult for both Reading and Mansfield to be behind. Any impact on their position in the standings, so many people think that it is the best result for the two teams to upgrade together.

At the press conference before the game, the Brighton coach did not hesitate to praise Notts County. In his mouth, Notts County has become the most powerful contender for the British Championship next season. As for This season, there is no suspense about the ownership of the League Two champions.

At the same time, he did not forget to praise Notts County for its outstanding performance in the League Cup, as if he regarded Notts County as a representative of the League Two. Notts County could advance to the semi-finals of the League Cup. Yan.

However, this seemingly contrived show of weakness will not affect Notts County too much, because it has experienced so many battles, Notts County's eyes have completely surpassed the current level, just like the 100-meter field, the players' The eyes should be on the point, not the starting point under their feet.

They are used to being pampered, at least on the League Two stage, and they won't feel too excited even if they beat Brighton.

The detachment of mentality makes the Notts County players without any pressure. Even if this is a League Two first game, it does not seem to be much different from the training game.

Although Loew also believes that his opponent cannot compete with Notts County in terms of strength, he may not have the determination to win against Notts County. Don't look at Brighton's coach is a good-looking old man, but sometimes people can't be good-looking. , God knows if he is brewing some extreme tactics to knock Notts County off his horse.

Strategically despising the opponent, tactically attaching importance to the opponent, there is no need for David to tell him this Chinese saying, Loew himself understands this truth.

And this game is just as Low expected, Brighton is holding back.

At the beginning of the game, Brighton's players were desperately trying to speed up the tempo. Whether attacking or defending, the passing speed was far faster than any previous game. Even if Notts County was attacking, they would pass the physical fitness. The running and scrambling to press Notts County.

A few minutes later, Loew had already understood the opponent's intention, which was to fight against Notts County.

The accelerated pace will inevitably lead to the accelerated consumption of physical fitness, and in the mind of the Brighton coach, physical fitness is also the Achilles heel of Notts County.

Unlike other League Two teams, Notts County reached the semi-finals of the League Cup all the way, and the FA Cup also reached the third round. Invisibly, it was at least ten more games than other League Two teams.

The original League Two schedule is very intensive, and there will be distractions from the cup matches during the interval between the leagues. Sooner or later, Notts County's physical problems will break out. All the players in Brighton have to do is to detonate this powerful bomb in advance. .

I have to say that this cunning Brighton coach made a wishful thinking, and Loew frowned involuntarily, feeling a little tricky if he was confident.

If you only consider this game, the physical condition of the players in Notts County will not be as bad as the opponents imagined.

Notts County's main players played even less than other teams.

But if you can't take it out and watch it alone, you must know that after Christmas, Notts County encountered a real devil's schedule.

On December 29, in the 25th round of the league, Notts County challenged Wegambie away;

On January 5th, in the 26th round of the league, Notts County played against Reading at home. This was a battle of revenge;

On January 7, in the third round of the FA Cup, Notts County will welcome the challenge of the Premier League team West Ham United at home;

On January 10, in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final, Notts County will move away to face Sheffield Wednesday;

On January 13, in the 27th round of the league, Notts County will usher in the same city derby and encounter the archenemy Mansfield;

In less than 20 days, they have to play six games, an average of one every three days, and almost every game is a tough battle.

Although they have been complaining about the FA's schedule, in front of this behemoth, Notts County has no right to speak and is not qualified to adjust the schedule.

In this way, Loew will have a choice.

The opponent is so desperate, although it is not obvious that he must give up the game, but Loew decided to reduce consumption as much as possible.

There are countless examples of the first half of the season where the momentum was broken, but it was sluggish after the winter break.

Love definitely doesn't want to see the team collapse after the winter break.

Walking quickly to the sidelines, Loew gave instructions to the players on the court to give up attacking the opponent and change the tactics to defensive counterattacks.

Control the space in the dangerous area, in the battle of the position, the opponent's rhythm can't be fast enough.

It may seem a bit humiliating to adopt a conservative strategy at home. After all, Notts County will only be like this when facing the giants Arsenal, but in order to win, everyone knows how to choose.

History is written by the victors. Only by winning the game are they qualified to make bold words. Otherwise, no matter how unconvinced they are, they are just a loser.

David was sitting on the coach's bench, but his mind couldn't help but wander. He still couldn't believe that Loew, who only had an attacking tendon in his head, actually had a day to play defensive counterattacks. Is this the Loew he knows well? ?

But in this way, the situation on the field has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Brighton had to slow down the pace and attacked in a straight line. This is definitely not a situation they want to see, but after all, they are behind in the standings, and they do not defeat their direct competitors in direct dialogue. The game is meaningless.

In fact, Brighton is really not particularly good at attacking positions, especially in the face of a team with high technical and tactical literacy like Notts County. A chance to face the Notts County goal directly.
