Chapter 181 Regaining Ultimate Tactics
Although it was a UEFA Cup match, the media focused their attention on the UEFA Champions League due to the critical moment in the UEFA Champions League group stage, so this game was obviously not taken seriously.
Because of the short distance, Notts County only came to Glasgow one day in advance to adapt to the venue. Before that, they were making targeted preparations at their own training base.
Love has big dark circles under his eyes on the training ground, and he obviously feels that he has not slept enough in recent days.
This game is very important to Notts County, and it cannot be sloppy.
The hard power of the Celtics is definitely ranked top among all teams participating in the UEFA Cup, not inferior to the strong teams in the five major leagues, and the opponent is still a dominant player in the Scottish Premier League. Reasonable collocation and rich experience, these are things that Notts County does not have.
Perhaps from the perspective of paper strength, Notts County is not inferior, and even slightly higher, but football games are often not such a simple beam.
Cup competitions, especially important cup competitions like the UEFA Cup, are completely different concepts from playing in the league.
There are 38 games in a season in the league, and there are even 46 games in League One. In the league, a strong team is a strong team. Even if one or two games fail, it will not affect the final results of the entire season.
But the nature of the cup match is completely different. There are two rounds of home and away games, even if there is a slight difference in strength, but as long as the tactics are arranged properly, coupled with the right time, place and some external factors, the result of the game is very suspenseful.
Notts County players are generally young and have no experience in European wars. Young people are prone to mental fluctuations in different situations, which will affect the entire game.
Looking at it now, Notts County has no advantage at all.
That's what Loew worries about.
If you are beaten by a seasoned opponent in the away game, it will be useless even if you go back to the home game.
Therefore, this game is very important for Notts County, which is aiming to win the UEFA Cup, even as important as the final.
Winning and eliminating opponents will not only advance to the next round smoothly, but also allow the players to accumulate enough experience, so that the subsequent games will go much smoother.
If Alonso hadn't been injured, maybe Love wouldn't be so worried, but now that the most important part of Notts County's tactical system is missing, Love is really not sure about this away game.
Sure enough, it did not exceed Loew's expectations. The young Notts County players are still too young and have too little experience in the European competition. up.
Just like that sentence, the ball can be played with the wind, but not with the wind. Notts County is in this state now.
The loss of the ball at the beginning was a bit unexpected, but the psychological ups and downs of the players were very large, and after the loss of the ball, their thoughts were easily inconsistent. The offensive players wanted to increase their offensive efforts to equalize the score as soon as possible, while the defensive players wanted to strengthen their defense to prevent the opponent from attacking. Goal again in time.
In this way, Notts County was extremely passive on the court.
boom!
boom!
Another two goals were scored by the opponent!
After the first half, Notts County returned to the dressing room with a three-goal deficit.
From David's entry into Notts County to the present, Notts County has conceded three goals, but has not conceded three goals in the half of the game, and the scene is still so embarrassing.
The players returned to the locker room with their heads drooping, looking dejected, as if the sky had fallen on top of them.
Love's expression was a little serious, and he felt very uncomfortable looking at the players with low morale.
This predicament is also partly due to him. If he can make adjustments immediately after losing the ball, he may still be unable to change the passive situation, but at least the score may not be so disparate, as if the team is not at the same level. Same as contest.
"Maybe we have been too smooth, but when faced with difficulties, we have forgotten how to play football!"
Loew looked at these dejected children, clapped his hands, and after attracting their attention, he said seriously: "Then we can change the way now, remember last season when we eliminated Arsenal in the League Cup?"
The team members nodded in unison, recalling the game that made Feiyang in their minds.
"Arsenal is very strong. We challenged as an underdog and defeated our opponent with extreme defense and sharp counterattack."
"Maybe you think the Celtics are strong, but no matter how strong they are, they are no better than Arsenal!"
"So, we can beat Arsenal, why can't we beat Celtic in the same way?"
Love's voice was full of bewitchment, which attracted the players' thoughts from far away in the sky.
Yup!
Can Celtic be better than Arsenal?
We can even eliminate Arsenal, how could we fall at the feet of the Celtics?
Then let us once again use the most extreme means to kill the Celtics!
As for the unpopularity of conservative tactics?
To hell with those!
The eyes of the players seemed to be on fire, and the victorious momentum permeated behind them.
At the beginning of the second half, Notts County really swept away the confusion on the court in the first half, and also changed their style of play. All members returned to their own half and participated in the defense.
The Celtics became even more disdainful when they saw the change in Notts County's tactics.
When the League One club Notts County were drawn in the draw, Celtic had already put themselves in the UEFA Cup round of 32, as they did not feel at all that they could lose to an English second team. League teams.
It is true that the level of football in Scotland is not as good as that of England, but he is the champion of the Scottish Premier League. He is at least above the middle level if he wins the Premier League. Can he still lose to a League One club?
After the start of the game, three neat goals knocked the opposing opponent to pieces.
Even in the Soviet Super League, such easy games are rare!
In the second half, the opponent had already started to defend with all members. Obviously, they gave up attacking and just wanted to save a few goals to save themselves a little face.
Is this the rhythm of clocking out early?
The Notts County players don't know what the Celtic players on the opposite side are thinking. If they knew, they would definitely sneer and wait to see their opponents swallow their arrogance.
When Notts County recovered its defense, the Celtics had no chance to attack. First, it was because of the relaxation of mentality, and second, it was because of Notts County's defensive strength, which was not so easy to break through.
This kind of situation where the Celtics attacked slowly and Notts County desperately defended lasted for 15 minutes.
