Chapter 19: The Counterattack Begins

Gently closing the door of the dressing room, David clapped his palms, attracted the attention of the players, and said in a somewhat abrupt tone: "Maybe you should thank Loew for giving you the opportunity to prove yourself in the second half, instead of replacing you and letting you return to England with shame."

In the dressing room were the main players on the pitch in the first half, and the substitutes were warming up on the sidelines.

"Juventus is very strong, even if Zidane Zidane is gone, he is still the top club in the world, maybe you think it's normal for a team like ours to lose to a Serie A giant, if you have that kind of thought, then please tell me and I will send you away for free to any team you want to go to."

"Yes, Notts County is a League Two team, but from the beginning to the end, I didn't think of him as a League Two team, in my mind, Notts County only belong to the stage of the Premier League, only to the stage of the Champions League, and now all we have to do is be on this stage, that's all."

"Maybe you don't know, but I will say that I have a lot of faith in you, even more than you have in yourself, and I have no doubt about what you will achieve in football in the future, and I think you will deserve the status of a future club in Notts County."

'I don't think any team is going to make you feel powerless and scared, even if we're not as good as them right now, but that's not a reason for us to back down on the pitch.'

"What I want to see is your indomitable fighting spirit, your determination to charge even if you know you are defeating, not the loss in everyone's expressions now."

"So, from now on, think of yourself as a superstar."

It seems to be a plea, but every player knows that David is encouraging them or that they don't know, but David knows that the future he says will become a reality.

After returning to the box, the second half of the game also began.

Loew did not break his promise, and there were no personnel adjustments at halftime, but Juventus made three changes, after all, it was a warm-up game, and examining the state of the players was also one of the purposes of coach Lippi.

David sat on the sofa in the box, his heart was restless, he didn't know if he was a little seedling, the young players he recruited had become first-class stars or even superstars in their previous lives, but at this time, they were all fledgling after all, could they really shoulder the responsibility of Notts County's revival?

Once the game started, Juventus were still in control of the slow pace to their feet, and perhaps in their minds, the youngsters of Notts County would still be as vulnerable and defenseless as they were in the first half.

But the young people of Notts County have told their opponents with their actions that they will pay the price for their contempt.

Unlike in the first half, the Notts County players increased their pressing intensity, playing more aggressively, and the increase in defensive intensity caught Juventus off guard.

After Mereles prejudged Nedved's ball to Trezeguet, there was no sticky ball, and immediately transferred to Alonso, who ran close to receive the ball, and the Notts County midfield commander had already seen the movement of his own player, and hit a long ball to the right side of the front, accurately finding Kuyt in the rapid rush.

The Dutch striker stopped the ball and continued to go down, shaking off Zambrotta's center of gravity, but passing the ball to Missy in the ribs, at this time, Juve's frontcourt players were slowly returning to the defense, and only a few players in the back line were in their defensive positions.

Without the slightest hesitation, Missy shot directly at the goal, and the ball flew towards the goal with great momentum.

Although it was a surprise, the angle of the shot was not large, and Buffon, a world-class goalkeeper, hastily blocked the ball and fell to the ground himself.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, Hubnel suddenly appeared in front of the Juventus goal, ghostly pushed the ball into the goal, and lifted his weight lightly.

The stadium fell silent, not only the fans were silent, but the Juventus players were also looking at each other, only the Notts County players were celebrating the goal.

How did you score a goal?

No one expected that just after the start of the second half, Notts County scored a beautiful counter-attacking goal and pulled a goal back.

David almost didn't jump off the couch when the ball flew into the Juventus goal, and even though he was confident that his team would not let him down, he couldn't contain his excitement when the goal came.

The players gathered around to celebrate the goal, and everyone's expressions were full of excitement, which was a goal that built everyone's confidence.

The Juventus players are all stars who have experienced countless storms, although they were scored by a team in the lower level of their eyes, but they still recovered quickly, adjusted their mentality, and scored a goal by such a quick counterattack, it was their carelessness, that's all.
