: Instant fear, five defenders

As for Notts County, there are too many surprises.

Never mind that the English media such as "The Sun", "Nottingham Evening News", "News of the World", Sky Sports, etc. all unanimously promoted how smooth Notts County's offense was.

It's this final, how Notts County will win and so on.

They had almost exhausted all their beautiful words, but when it came to the game, Notts County coach Guardiola was still stunned. This time the Spaniard sent out five defenders!

A five-three-two formation, not ambiguous at all!

Standing on the goal line is Dutch veteran Edwin van der Sar, and on the bench is English goalkeeper Benjamin Foster, who also has an English household registration, but is younger and taller goalkeeper Aaron Hopewell.

Notts County's two full-backs can only be said to be guest appearances. After all, there are some differences between full-backs and wing-backs. Dani Alves and Fabio Grosso are the starters.

Felipe Ram is not weak, but compared with Fabio Grosso, he still lacks some experience in the top league. Dani Alves has played in the Spanish professional league for two years, and there is one

Years of La Liga experience.

If the media reporters were told in advance that Notts County would play five defenders in this game, they would definitely be able to guess the central defender combination. Italian veteran Cannavaro and former Barcelona player Abelardo, plus Notts County

Portuguese defender Carvalho was imported from Porto Club.

The center back combination of these three is solid!

There are also some changes in the midfield trio. Edgar Davis, Rivaldo who has returned from injury, and Dutchman Sneijder are still a defensive midfielder plus two attacking midfielders. Notts County has not changed because of this.

If you want to stay on the defensive side, use double midfielders.

Guardiola has studied Benitez's tactics and there is a high probability that Valencia will use a double midfielder. Sneijder and Rivaldo, two front midfielders, will cause a headache for the opponent.

The forward line is the biggest surprise. Drogba is still the one at the front, but the shadow forward standing behind him is not Robin van Persie or Klose, but the Brazilian Ronaldinho.

This is a position that the Brazilian international has never played. Guardiola admitted that he was gambling, but he hoped that he could win the gamble.

For Wei Xun, the biggest variable in this game is the referee.

Today's referee is the famous bald referee from Italy, Collina.

This bald man, who is known as the "No. 1 Whistle in World Football", gave the Marseille team a red dot package early in the UEFA Cup final in history, causing the French team to regretfully lose; later, the Italians also

It's really amazing that I accidentally published an autobiography and became a writer.

In the pick-up session, team captain Edwin van der Sar helped Notts County get the kick-off right. In the first half, Notts County attacked with the wind, and Valencia faced considerable resistance when going against the wind. It was a great opportunity.

Only 18 seconds into the game, Notts County had an offensive opportunity after kick-off. Ronaldinho dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Argentinian central defender Ayala barely made a clearance, but he never thought of kicking it to Sneijder, leaving no one to defend him.

Sneijder turned and shot ten meters in front of the goal. It was not difficult, but it missed the target!

"Huh……"

The Brazilian who failed to score was also a little ashamed. This was the meat that the opponent brought to his mouth, but he didn't even eat it.

Valencia soon entered a familiar pattern. Taking advantage of Notts County's aggressive attack, Van der Sar's position was relatively high, and Vicente came just past the center line from the left side of the midfield.

A lob shot.

The Dutch goalkeeper jogged all the way into the penalty area. Fortunately, he didn't go very far. He barely touched the ball just in front of the goal line, and finally the shot went over the crossbar.

Corner kick!

Spanish international Albelda took a corner kick on the right. This was a penalty kick. Forward Mista's shot from the spot was blocked by Cannavaro. Angulo from the outside did not make any adjustments when he took the ball.

The goal was 18 meters away and the shot was not in the right spot.

At the beginning, both sides were still looking for the feeling of shooting. There was an offensive, but they just couldn't score.

In the fifth minute of the game, Valencia's short center back Ayala failed again in the duel with Brazilian Ronaldinho. Seeing that his opponent was about to dribble the ball forward, the Argentine directly

He shoveled Ronaldinho to the ground and received the first yellow card of the game.

The Brazilians and Argentinians are somewhat difficult to deal with. As the two major football powers in South America, they have met countless times in history.

Rivaldo and Dani Alves in the Notts County team are not good men and women. Ronaldinho was shoveled to the ground. They naturally wanted to argue with Ayala. Anyway, Dani Alvis

Si heard Big Brother greeting Ayala's mother.

The official language of Argentina is Spanish. Spanish is ranked according to the number of first language users, with approximately 437 million people speaking it as their mother tongue, second only to Chinese. The official language of Brazil is Portuguese. Brazil in the 16th century

It was once a colony of Portugal, and Argentina was also a colony of Spain.

Both languages ​​belong to the Latin family, so there is no problem in simple communication, and you can generally understand curse words.

Collina showed his superb refereeing skills at this time. For all the players from both sides who participated in the scolding, the Italian bald man was given a yellow card. Ayala was spared this time because he had already received a yellow card.

, it can be regarded as an act of mercy outside the law.

The episode ended briefly, but the excitement of this game seems to have started!

Notts County's quick serve was seen through by Valencia. The "Bat Legion" counterattack was indeed much faster than Notts County. Vicente dribbled the ball forward and finally ended the attack with a long shot.

It's a pity that the running distance was too long, and there was no power when the final shot was taken. The ball was held firmly by Edwin van der Sar.

In the tenth minute of the game, Cannavaro sent a long pass from the backcourt. Ivory Coast forward Didier Drogba's stoppage was a little big, but Drogba, who is tall and long-legged, was still on the left side of the ribs.

He hooked the ball back and shot ten meters away from the goal.
Chapter completed!
