Chapter 468: The People’s Robin Hood

Back in the dressing room, the faces of the Notts County players were more or less ashamed. It seemed that being tied by Norwich at the last moment was a very embarrassing thing.

According to Guardiola and Wei Xun's standards, although they have a six-point buffer from the relegation zone, Norwich is still a relegation team.

In fact, it was during this season that Crystal Palace, Norwich City and Southampton ranked in the bottom three of the Premier League and were relegated to the English Championship.

There is an eye-catching tactical board in the center of the home team's dressing room at the Magpies Stadium. It clearly lists Norwich's commonly used tactics this season, as well as the players who need to be focused on, as well as the weaknesses that can be sought for breakthroughs.

The biggest star of this team is forward Ashton, who joined Crewe during the summer transfer period. His worth has reached 6 million euros, but he has only scored four goals in the Premier League.

, there are eleven players in the Notts County team who have scored four goals...

The 30-year-old Swedish veteran Svensson, the 33-year-old England midfielder Graham Stewart, and the 33-year-old right back Thomas Helweger are all loaned by Norwich from Charlton and Inter Milan.

What comes is fighting power.

"I've told you everything that needs to be said. How to defend and attack, how to move, I've drawn it all for you. Do you know why you are tied with Norwich now?"

Guardiola's eyes radiated with a frightening cold light. His soul torture made the Notts County players whisper in their hearts. If they knew why they were tied with Norwich, what would they want from the coach?

Woolen cloth.

Just like Robben and Ribery, they just pouted in displeasure, but if they really want to talk back to Guardiola, they don't have the ability.

Notts County Club respects the individuality of its players, but this must be based on respecting the elders and coaches.

"Sir, I know, we underestimated the enemy..."

You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t look at it, but you would be shocked to see that the person who said this was none other than the Italian defender who was crotched by the Norwich forward, Giorgio Chiellini.

"Okay, finally there is someone who understands!"

The way Guardiola looked at Chiellini changed immediately. He originally planned to replace the Italian, but now it seems that it is not necessary, so he should continue to be on the court.

"Your fault is that you are afraid in your heart, and your fault is that you underestimate the opponent. The quarter-finals are indeed a difficult game for us, and there will be a little psychological shadow, but isn't life like this? Some things are difficult to play.

But if you get over it, it’s a hurdle. If you step over it, it’s nothing.”

Guardiola feels that in the past few years since he came to Notts County Club, he has become both a father and a mother. He not only has to be responsible for tactical command, but also has to be a life mentor for these bastards.

"I remember Wei said more than once that no matter when, no matter how weak the opponent is, one cannot underestimate the enemy. There are no weak teams in the Premier League!"

Looking at the players in the room, each nodding silently and blushing, Guardiola felt a little relieved. This showed that his speaking in plain words for so long was still somewhat effective.

In terms of Notts County's strength, regardless of whether there is a quarter-final spell or not, they should not lose to Norwich!

We talked for a long time and arranged some new offensive content for the players, but within five minutes of the start of the second half, Norwich hit the post once and scored a goal.

The relegation team, which is just six points away from the relegation zone, finished ahead of Premier League leaders Notts County at the Magpie Stadium.

Not to mention the Notts County fans at the scene, even the commentator sitting in the media area was a little stunned:

"Oh my god, what happened to Notts County today? Didn't coach Guardiola make targeted arrangements during the halftime break? The two goals Norwich scored today were not their regular offense.

Way."

As the game approached sixty minutes, Ronaldinho's condition was not very good. I don't know why the Brazilian always looked like he hadn't woken up, and from time to time he had to hold his waist and yawn.

Another former forward, Sneijder, was trapped in Norwich's muscle-stick strangulation tactics and was completely unable to display his superb passing and control skills.

"Substitute, Eric..."

Guardiola, who had his hands folded on his chest, couldn't help it this time and sent a signal of change to his assistant Roar Emperor.

Since both Sneijder and Ronaldinho are not in good condition, then simply take them both down.

Chiellini switched to the left back position, and Dani Alves, who is good at attacking, came on to play the right back position. Ivory Coast forward Didier Drogba was ordered to take charge at the critical moment and took the field.

I originally thought I had no chance to play, but now the team is lagging behind, and the Ivorian can't rest at all.

Notts County suddenly had three forwards in the frontcourt. Drogba was responsible for receiving long passes. Van Persie often retreated outside the penalty area to get the ball, acting as a shadow striker.

President Luo was at ease under the cover of his two teammates. The Portuguese frequently swam in and out of the opponent's penalty area, looking for gaps in Norwich's defense.

The Norwich coach seemed to smell a hint of uneasiness. He decisively removed the two forwards responsible for the offense and replaced them with a defender and a defensive midfielder in an attempt to carry out the defense to the end.

Less than five minutes after Norwich completed the substitution, Notts County's three forwards completed an excellent cooperation. Xabi Alonso's long pass from the backcourt was accurately sent to Drogba's head.

.

The Ivorian gave the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who stepped in. Ronaldo did not stop the ball. He leaned on the Norwich defender who was guarding him and used his heel to pass the ball to Van Persie.

In the flash of lightning, the Portuguese only saw a black and white shadow running to that position. This is a position that Van Persie often runs in training. He believed that the Dutchman would definitely score the goal.

"Goal......"

"Seventy-eight minutes have passed. Although it is not a good word to use, I still want to say that Notts County equalized the score tenaciously and the goal scorer was Robin Van Persie!"

"Nottingham is the hometown of Robin Hood, and Robin van Persie is the Robin Hood in the hearts of Notts County fans. Can he still score goals? Can he save his beloved team at the last minute?"

Naturally, Van Persie couldn't hear the commentator's comments about him in the stands. After scoring, he just took the ball out of the net and quickly rushed to the kick-off point in the center circle.

Time is running out for Notts County!

Wei Xun never thought that Notts County would not be able to beat Norwich, so Wei Xun did not attend the game in person. He, Huang Yingying, and Portman were wandering sweetly on the streets of Nottingham.

But when Wei Xun heard from the shopping mall cashier's radio that the Notts County people had tenaciously equalized the score, Wei Xun's legs could no longer walk no matter how hard his wife and ex-girlfriend pulled him.

"What the hell, how long has it been? Why haven't you scored yet? Master, isn't this radio broken? At such a critical time, it would be a big mistake if it breaks..."

There was some helplessness in Wei Xun's tone, and he didn't know if Drogba's shot just went in or not. Semiconductors are really bad at signaling, no wonder they will be gradually eliminated in the future.

"Bah, bah, bah, bah..."

The cashier at the mall struggled for a while, then tapped the radio twice, and heard this rustling sound coming out.

"Magical shot, magical goal, Notts County beat Norwich at home. He is the patron saint of Notts County, he is the Robin Hood of the people!"
