Chapter 1102: FA Cup Final

The Notts County supporters, who were not able to attend the game, were also unable to greet their heroes in the first place, with Notts County resting for one night in Rome before heading back to London to host Chelsea at Wembley Stadium the day after tomorrow in the FA Cup final.

Unlike Notts County's trip to the Apennines, Chelsea were at ease in London, with plenty of rest at the early end of the league and a definite advantage over the fatigue of Notts County.

However, Notts County have just won the Champions League and are in full swing, and it is not impossible to win Chelsea in a wave of games.

No matter how strong Chelsea is, they are only one team on Earth, and Notts County is already strong in outer space.

Before the game, Chelsea launched a series of public opinion battles in the hope of creating pressure on Notts County, not only Klinsmann, but also the players expressed their determination to win.

"Standing on the court of the finals, then no matter what the strength of both sides, the probability of winning in the end is 50%!"

'Two days is not enough time to get Notts County back to their best fitness and Chelsea will make the most of that!'

'I think the final victory should belong to Chelsea!'

Klinsmann's position is actually unstable, although he led the team to win the Premier League title in his first season, but three seasons later, the Blues Chelsea still only have such a winning title, being suppressed by Notts County in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, and the Champions League has not completed a big breakthrough, Chelsea is still the Chelsea known as a European powerhouse, but it is far from reaching the height of Notts County.

Abu has lost patience with Klinsmann and wants a champion, not an uncrowned king.

Perhaps this FA Cup final is Klinsmann's last chance to atone for his sins, and if he can lead the Blues to victory over the Magpies, then Abu may give him another chance, but if he loses again, then there is no suspense that Klinsmann will be sacked.

Even Klinsmann himself knows this, so he has to win this game.

Even if there is no shortage of next clubs, there are not many clubs like Chelsea that can afford to pay a lot of money and have a luxury squad, and he does not want to leave this position if possible.

Even in his heart, he is still unwilling, he has not been able to completely defeat Notts County, let alone lead Chelsea to the Champions League, and he will leave the class in disgrace, so all ideals can only start from scratch.

The Chelsea players may not understand Klinsmann's mood at this point, but they also have reasons to have to beat Notts County, and losing is a habit and once they are used to losing against Notts County, they will never be able to turn around.

Notts County will be hoping to cap off the season with an FA Cup title, with the Quadruple being the best honour that no one can snatch away and no one can stop them.

It was destined to be an exciting game, more pleasing to the eye than the Champions League final.

From the very beginning of the game, Chelsea turned on the high-pressure nasal mode, relying on their better physical fitness than Notts County, and running all over the field, making Notts County a little uncomfortable for a while.

Heynckes made some changes in this game, with midfielders such as Messi, Villa and Junny sitting on the bench, and the back line was more changed.

There is no way, even if the Champions League final did not consume too much physical energy of the players, but the long journey in a short period of time still makes the players very tired.

Fortunately, Notts County's rotation is still strong, and there may not be a key player who has the strength to surpass Europe, but he can withstand Chelsea's threat.

Since Chelsea want to adopt such an active tactic, Heynckes naturally will not let the players go to the head, and there is no shame in defending and counter-attacking tactics.

It seems that Notts County has played a bit more defensive counter-attacking tactics recently, two days ago in the Champions League final, Notts County in the first half used this way to make Barcelona's attack helpless, and Notts County in turn caused irreversible damage to Barcelona.

Now, Notts County is dealing with Chelsea in this way, and no one knows if Chelsea can take Notts County in a way.

In fact, Heynckes can clearly see that Chelsea's tactics are very physically demanding, even if Chelsea has been fully rested this time, but after all, it is at the end of the season, and the players' physical reserves are close to being exhausted, and it is difficult to ensure such intensity throughout the game.

Chelsea's attack is very strong, even Notts County is very difficult to defend, unlike Barcelona's slow passes, Chelsea's tactics are more concise and effective, usually a few passes in dangerous areas can create a threat, but this more forward attempts to pass naturally also means more mistakes, but also give Notts County more opportunities to counterattack.

The Blues dominated possession and could create a lot of threats, but Notts County's counter-attacks were also unrelenting, so much so that Chelsea gradually did not dare to press so high, for fear that there would be a hole in the back and Notts County would seize the opportunity to score.

No one was able to score in the first half, but with the introduction of Lionel Messi and Villa in the second half, the balance of victory has begun to tip in Notts County's favor.

Chelsea kept running for half the pitch, everyone was tired, although they were still holding on, but it was impossible to maintain the intensity of the first half, plus Notts County changed tactics and began to play against Chelsea, the two sides gradually evenly matched in midfield, and the possession rate also tended to be balanced.

Klinsmann has sensed the team's disadvantage, he is unwilling, he wants to continue to use this way to fight against Notts County, maybe there is no way to beat Notts County, but there is a very good chance of not losing, if the game can be dragged into extra time or penalty shootout, then everything has to be lucky, Chelsea also have the hope of winning!

But now, he can only be unwilling to let Chelsea retreat, otherwise he will be easily defeated by Notts County's surprise attack when the formation is pressed forward but there is no way to suppress Notts County.

With Chelsea's retreat, the game officially entered the rhythm of Notts County, which was also the turning point of the game.

When Notts County took the initiative, wave after wave of attacks overwhelmed Chelsea, the wind in the penalty area, every shot was heart-wrenching, the Blues players were suffering, and the Blues fans were also suffering.
