160 year old magpie
Meadow Lane is a recently expanded stadium. Meadow Lane, which is over 110 years old, was reborn with the expansion. And Notts County was reborn. Notts County is called ‘the Magpies’ because of the two magpies on their emblem. And those magpies are now crowing. They are preparing for an emergency.
Bonavici took the ball and broke through the Atletico defenders. Bonavici, who was usually busy connecting and assisting other players, started an individual play by attempting a bold breakthrough. The defenders, who judged Bonavici’s nature to be conservative, were helpless against Bonavici’s bold breakthrough.
The angle is very narrow because it broke through toward the goal line. However, Bonavici chose to shoot instead of passing. Since Bonavici uses his left and right feet at similar levels, it was a high-quality shot. If the goalkeeper had not unconsciously raised his right hand, it would have been a goal.
In corner kick situations, Bonavić and Hector were positioned inside the penalty area, while Hunter, Grujic and Nice were positioned in the arc area. The taller players who were good at heading were actually out.
The Atletico defense was in shambles due to the movement of the five players. They frequently crossed each other and missed the players they were supposed to mark. Notts County exploited Atletico’s weakness of man-marking rather than zonal marking.
Beno, who had been watching the players’ movements calmly, crossed with his left foot. Sanches, who suddenly appeared at the far post, headed it. Unfortunately, Sanches’ header hit the goal post. The ball bounced and was caught by an Atletico player and sent forward long.
Jeremy heads the ball to Cha Beom-soo, who stays behind to prepare for Atletico’s counterattack. Cha Beom-soo only has 6 stamina. He’s not slow, but he’s not fast either. But when Cha Beom-soo stays behind, Notts County’s players gain confidence and act more boldly.
Two Atletico players covered Cha Beom-soo. Even if they couldn’t get the ball, they wanted to prevent Cha Beom-soo from sending the ball forward. The defense was in disarray because of the corner kick. The team defense is good, but the individual players’ abilities are not strong. Now, when the defense has not been formed, it is the weakest.
Cha Beom-soo boldly kicked the ball with his senses. He didn’t observe where anyone was. He just guessed that someone was in that position. What Ki-shin emphasized in this game was boldness. He told us to boldly try and catch the opponent off guard even if we weren’t sure.
After passing, I looked up and saw Hector trapping with his chest. Three defenders surrounded Hector as he entered the penalty area. Hector showed no fear at all even though the three defenders were within earshot of each other. He made fools of the three defenders with simple and reasonable touches.
The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot with his hand, and the 50,000 home fans cheered. It was a complete contrast to the 60,000 Atletico fans booing away from home. Notts County were enjoying their turf. Hector shook the grass off his jersey and clapped with his teammates.
The players chatted among themselves and then Bonavich took the ball. Kishin still hadn’t checked Bonavich’s penalty kick numbers. It meant that they were inconsistent and couldn’t be clearly expressed in numbers. Since the players had already decided on the penalty kicks after discussion, Kishin didn’t raise an objection.
Bonavici’s penalty was a slow arc towards the middle of the goal. It was a chip shot called cukiiao in Italian. Bonavici’s shot was so slow that the home fans didn’t cheer even after it went into the goal. It seemed as if the fallen keeper would jump up and catch the ball.
The remaining eight players, excluding goalkeeper Turner and Kim Si-woong and Jeremy, who stayed near the center line for defense, put their arms around each other’s shoulders and did the horny calf ceremony together. Cha Beom-soo, who had shown strong aversion to the ceremony, also joined the procession.
Just now, two defenders tried to close the door on Hector’s breakthrough. It is a defensive technique where two defenders turn their bodies and close the gap between them to block the opponent’s breakthrough. However, Hector’s instantaneous acceleration exceeded their expectations. This is because Hector, who had been taking it easy because of his knees, shook off his worries and accelerated with all his might.
Notts County has no tactical changes. Only the players have changed a lot. Hector has completely escaped the shadow of the injury that was left unconscious. Bonavichi tried to play more boldly as an individual after having an interview with Gisin.
Hunter’s movements are full of composure. He believes in his master’s words and believes that he has become a much better striker than Harry Kane. And in reality, Hunter has no shortcomings compared to Harry Kane except for dribbling and experience. He is superior to Harry Kane in heading.
Although they conceded a goal quickly in the first half, Atletico were not in a hurry. They just needed to finish the first half like this and score one goal in the second half. So they still played defensively and occasionally counterattacked.
Beno, who overlapped, received a pass from Sansis. In this game, Gray sat on the bench. Sansis contributed more to the team, but Kishin gave Gray more opportunities. It is also to give Gray, whose skills are improving, more experience, but Gray feels more familiar than Sansis, so he won.
In this match, Kishin analyzed it as objectively as possible and was convinced that Sansis was much more suitable than Gray. Gray had better stamina and distance, but Sansis’s movements were much more efficient. Gray, who showed weakness in fast rhythm, was benched.
When Beno got the ball, Hunter took up the position. The Atletico defender tried to push Hunter away, but could not overcome him in the physical battle. Hunter’s hips were so strong that it was impossible to take the position without fouling.
As Beno’s left hand slightly lifted, the Atletico fullback lowered his center of gravity. If he lifted his right leg at the timing of the cross, he could influence the opponent’s cross even if he did not touch the ball. However, Beno pretended to cross, then tapped the ball forward and ran.
The fullback, who had lowered his center of gravity, could not immediately follow Beno. Beno lifted his head slightly to check the players’ positions, then lowered his head again and sent a cross.
The player who was fighting for position with Hunter suddenly lost control of his body and staggered when Hunter’s resistance disappeared. Hunter fought for position in an unexpected position, not the position he wanted. Then, when Beno ran forward, he relaxed his strength and took the position he really wanted.
Beno’s ball has a large parabolic curve. It is not as large as Honen’s, but if you position yourself correctly, you can head it comfortably without much interference. Hunter, who is in a good position, heads it very comfortably.
The Atletico keeper, who knows Hunter’s heading ability well, holds his breath and prepares to hit Hunter’s ball. In the first game, two defenders guarded Hunter. This was because Notts County did not deploy many players in attack. However, in this game, Notts County deployed many players in attack, and Atletico is having difficulty defending.
Hunter didn’t shoot with a header. He sent the ball towards the far post, where the brown panther Hector was moving, leaving a trail of shadows. Before the other players could react meaningfully, Hector rushed into the goal with the ball.
Later, the video of this goal was called a mystery video. In slow motion, all the players were moving slowly, but Hector moved quickly as if he had teleported. Several Notts County players helped to separate Hector, who was entangled with the goal net. They lost the timing to celebrate because they wasted time trying to remove Hector from the net.
Simeone shouted at his players, but there was no attempt at substitution. Atletico, which has excellent team tactics, does not see a big change in performance with one or two players. Substitutions when behind must be combined with changes in tactics. However, changing tactics now, in the first half, is a big burden for Simeone.
In fact, Kishin was not confident of winning. He analyzed Atletico’s team tactics in his own way, but he could not find a solution. If Kishin could analyze it in a few days, it would not have been possible to advance to the Champions League semifinals, and he would not have been able to catch up with Barcelona by one point in the league. Currently, Real Madrid, in first place, and Atletico, in third place, are three points behind in La Liga. It would not be strange if one of the three teams, including Barcelona, wins the championship.
Kishin decided to give the players as much freedom as possible. With repeated victories and championships, the players follow Kishin’s instructions relatively well. Thanks to the on-site command, most of Kishin’s instructions are accurate. They may not be very great instructions, but there are almost no wrong instructions.
However, when he met a team with excellent team tactics, his on-site command began to be silent. Since Kishin’s tactical understanding score was 6, he was limited and could not give tactical advice. At best, he could only tell which player was in good condition and which player showed a certain weakness. When he met Atletico, which covered up the weaknesses and poor condition of each player with the team’s movements, Kishin was helpless.
‘Tottenham may only become a real powerhouse after Harry Kane and Eriksen retire. And Liverpool are already ahead of Tottenham. Arsenal haven’t won the title either, but they have their own style and are always a strong team. They should follow them instead of spending money like Manchester City.’
Harry Kane and Eriksen are Tottenham’s strengths and weaknesses. It would be better to not set a clear core like Liverpool and give opportunities depending on the condition. Notts County also has Turner, Cha Beom-soo, Hunter, and Bonavich playing special roles that are different from other players. This is the driving force behind Notts County’s good performance. However, if they retire or transfer, Notts County’s performance will decline in an instant.
Kim Si-woong still focused on defense, but occasionally participated in the attack. Jeremy and Nice, who played as central defenders, also showed stable performances. Thomas has better defensive ability, but Nice showed better performance when playing with Jeremy. Ki-shin bitterly repented his ignorance of ignoring the bond between players.
As the first half ended, the home fans cheered loudly for the players. Chavez, who was covered in sweat, smiled brightly. Chavez, who played midfield with Sanches, was covered in sweat all over.
There were no notable moments in the first half, but Chavez ran incredibly hard and helped the other players. Chavez took over the job that Bonavich used to do. Chavez, who suddenly started in such an important game, showed a very nervous appearance at the beginning.
Then, after the team scored a goal, they gained confidence. With Cha Beom-soo firmly behind them, they played hard without thinking too much. Although they didn’t touch the ball much, Chavez didn’t get discouraged at all and kept moving with Sanches. Thanks to this, Notts County was always able to maintain more or similar numbers in a small area.
