Chapter 517: The Strikers Are Short
In fact, Notts County has always been a bit thin in the forward position, of course, this is compared to other clubs, often 4-5 strikers, and Notts County has always insisted on only two strikers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Loew's tactics are based on 4231, sometimes it becomes 433, and sometimes it even sacrifices a strikerless formation, so there is usually only one position in the field.
Just like any other position, one main player, one rotation substitute, normally enough to cope with the whole season.
There are only two strikers in the place, because there was a winger from Kuyt, a full-fledged striker, who could play a dozen in the forward position when he was forced to do so, and how could he cope with it.
But now it's different, Kuyt went to Liverpool, but Notts County no longer has a player who can play as a guest striker, even if he plays a no-striker formation, the most suitable fake center forward Kaka is still injured, that is, except for Villa, Notts County has no one available in the forward position.
Loew has already made up his mind and immediately discussed with David that there must not be only two regular strikers in the Notts County forward line next season.
However, the first thing that needs to be overcome is the current difficulties, Villa can't bear it alone, and there are still a few games that Villa is estimated to be unable to play, and Notts County urgently needs a striker to step up.
The first option is to dig into the potential within the first team and select a jack-of-all-trades player from among the players who can play as a pseudo-centre-forward to replace them for two games on a temporary basis.
Kaka can't play, it is estimated that only Cazorla can try, the Spanish midfielder speed and skills are good, as the silver bullet in the team, he has played almost any position in the midfield, but he has never played as a striker;
The transfer window has long been closed, and it is impossible to find a temporary replacement pot from the transfer market;
The final option was to pick a striker from the Academy, in keeping with Notts County's tradition, but Loew was a bit reluctant to put forward hopes.
Rick Link is definitely a competent youth director, and those who have the strength to enter the first team in the academy have been recommended to Loew, and those who are not up to the standards of the first team in Notts County have also been loaned out, and there is really little hope of finding out of the academy again.
However, with the mentality of giving it a try, Loew still came to the academy after training, but he did not go directly to see the training of the young players, but went directly to Rick Link.
He hoped that Rick Link would recommend him the right person, and then he would conduct another investigation, which would save him a lot of trouble.
"What, you need a striker to be promoted to the first team temporarily?" Rick Link was a little surprised when he learned of Loew's purpose, but after a little thought, he understood the reason, Drogba was suspended, and Villa alone could not withstand such a dense schedule.
Although he was glad that Loew was able to focus on the academy, Rick Link still smiled helplessly, because there is really no suitable candidate in the academy in Notts County now!
"Youa, you know, if a young player really has what it takes to break into the first team, there's no way I wouldn't recommend it to you." Rick Link sighed and said: "There is an 88-year-old striker, although he has not yet reached the strength to enter the first team, but it is no problem to play so many games temporarily, but he is a non-EU player, and there is no way to obtain a labor certificate, so it must not work, and there are two 89-year-old strikers left, they are a little too small, not everyone is as demonic as Rooney, at the age of 15, he is already as strong as a calf!" ”
Sure enough, Loew was also helpless, and he knew that the result might be like this.
The 88-year-old striker he has also paid attention to before, is a Pole, after this season David plans to loan him to a satellite club to mix labor certificates, now he can't play for Notts County at all, and the two 88-year-old strikers are so small that they can't really send schoolchildren to play!
Loew, who didn't get good news from the academy, could only find David and complain about the problems he was facing, not to mention whether David could solve it, at least he could give him some comfort!
David also felt that he had indeed made a mistake in the team's configuration at this time, and the configuration of the two forwards would be no problem if there were no injuries, but how could professional players completely avoid the invasion of injuries, especially a striker, who often needed to fight physically with opponents, and the chance of injury was higher.
There's really a need for an extra striker next season!
However, the team's immediate problems still need to be solved, and since there is no way to bring in reinforcements, it can only be dug internally!
"How many games do you think there will be a need for other players to be up front on a temporary basis?" David thought for a moment and asked Loew.
Loew had already made a draft and began to say to David: "In the next game against Monaco, we definitely need Villa to play, we need this win; A week later, it's the fifth round of the Carabao Cup, which will also allow Villa to play enough time to recover and if we can knock out the opponents, we can reach the last four of the Carabao Cup, and we can try to win the Carabao Cup. ”
'Then there's the league game at home to West Bro, and this game is going to have somebody up front on the fly.
'If we can beat Monaco in the next game, then the last Champions League group game can be played by the development team, and this one is not something to worry about.
"Villa can play in the next league game against Newcastle, but then the league with Liverpool, just in time for the European Ballon d'Or ceremony, Villa will definitely not be able to play, so there needs to be a player on the top temporary."
"Then there is the league against Arsenal, the game is the day before the World Footballer of the Year award ceremony, I'm afraid Villa still can't play."
"After this game, Drogba will be out of ban and can play, so there must be at least three cameo appearances as a striker, and this is on the premise that Villa is not affected by injuries, if Villa is also injured, then simply don't play!"
After Loew finished speaking, he drank his coffee to himself, leaving David time to think.
David stood in front of the window and thought for a moment, then began to talk to Loew.
"If you play in a 433 strikerless formation, then you have no choice but Cazorla, although he has not played as a striker, but it's just a matter of habit, in the next period of training, you can try to put him in this position, I think with his adaptability, he should be competent!"
"Of course, you have a second choice, that is, to pull a defender up as a center forward, you have not used such a tactic, I think Ramos is a good choice, to have speed, to have technology, he is a defender with a good sense of card position grabbing, the most important thing is that he also has a good header, let him play center for a long time, but I believe there is no problem with a few temporary cameos!"
Hearing this, Loew's eyes lit up and suddenly brightened! (To be continued.) )
