Chapter 44: High-altitude advantage
Ginopozo's words were published in the Nottingham Post, and when David saw it, he scratched his head, always feeling a little surprised.
In his previous life, David did not have a good impression of the Pozo family because of their approach to treating football as a business, but it is undeniable that the Pozzo family is a very influential family, whether it is Gino Pozzo or his old father, they are well-known people in football and high-class figures.
But looking at Ginopozo's words today, how do you feel so brainless, this is a rhythm of worrying IQ.
Could it be that this is the welfare of the reborn who have crossed over, and the opponents are all idiots?
Otherwise, how could he have said such an idiotic thing!
Of course, David didn't know that Ginopozo was usually not like this, he had only felt frustration when he bought Notts County since he was a child, and his heart was originally not smooth, plus Notts County has a tendency to soar to the sky, and it is not surprising that his brain-dead words and deeds are unbalanced in his heart.
David didn't pay attention to the fly-like Ginopozo, because in the next game, Notts County would be able to slap Pozo in the face with real actions.
Notts County's opponent in this round of the league is Cambridge United, whose strength is at the bottom of League Two, and they have to fight for relegation every year.
Now Cambridge United are at the bottom of the table, and how can such a weak opponent not adopt an extremely conservative tactic against a team like Notts County that is known as a strong team in League One to play League Two, which is well known to both Loew and David.
Mansfield, on the other hand, are against league leaders Brighton, and the battle for the top spot between first and second place in the league will be a good thing for Notts County regardless of the outcome.
"Mr. Pozzo should worry about the Mansfield game first, if he is defeated by the leader, he will be caught up by Notts County!" David said cool words before the game, because this game Notts County is going to reap the benefits of the fishermen on the side.
Mansfield and Brighton started a day earlier, and although Notts County didn't think the two teams would pose much of a threat to them, they were direct rivals and Loew managed to watch the game in the conference room after training.
To say that the battle for the top of the table is really good-looking, no one is conservative, and the attack is extremely unrestrained, such a game is rare even if it is placed in League One.
The final result was the most favourable for Notts County as the two teams ended in a draw with one point each.
In this way, as long as Notts County wins the vice-president of the league, they can surpass Mansfield in second place in the standings and narrow the points gap with Brighton.
The next day, it will be Notts County's turn to challenge Cambridge United away, and this game will also be the focus of this round.
As expected, even at home, Cambridge United, who thought they were not strong, set up a bus in front of the goal from the beginning, and even if there was an attacking opportunity, it was only half time, and they were determined to hold on to a point and not let Notts County retreat.
However, compared to Notts County's opponents Cardiff in their last game, it is not for nothing that Cambridge United are at the bottom of the table, because their squad is really not good.
One centre-back is not badly tall, and he has an advantage in defending high-altitude balls, but the other centre-back is a little too tall to handle, just over 1.8 meters, and this point alone is enough for Notts County to blow up the Cambridge United penalty area.
Hubnel and Villa, who were rested in the last game, started the game, and the center-back combination was 1.9 meters Westerman and 1.98 meters Mertesacker, anyway, the opponent didn't attack, these two high school defenders were directly at the front of the opponent's penalty area, if these two players have different sexual orientations, they can even have an affair with the opponent's goalkeeper.
Notts County faced a dense defensive swing and did not consider the team's usual ground attack, and the two flanks changed their tricks to put the British rush directly on the table.
The headers of the two high defenders are very powerful, originally because of the position, competing for the header position and anticipating the landing point is their strength, and now it is the same in the opponent's penalty area.
Eighty per cent of their crosses were able to get to the first point, and the opposition's two centre-backs were ravaged to the core.
Of course, Mertesacker and Westerman weren't all headers on goal, and they would ferry them to create opportunities for their teammates who were fighting for the second spot.
However, the two strikers of Notts County are point-grabbing forwards, and they have a super ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal, and Notts County is lucky today, and there are no unlucky situations in the goal frame many times.
The first half was not over yet, Notts County were already 3-0 up on the road, and the opponent's goalkeeper and defenders were simply ********.
Loew didn't expect the game to go so smoothly, he was ready for a tough fight, and if it continued, he could sit in the dugout for the rest of the second half.
"This time, I don't think anyone would dare to face Notts County with such a purely defensive posture!" David said with a little emotion, according to the team's current height configuration, especially the front of the two central defenders, it may be difficult for any team to guarantee not to concede goals, and it has been proved that it is not possible to give up attack.
Loew smiled and nodded, this situation was really what he wanted to see.
Look, this is the example, whoever plays this with us in the future, this is the consequence.
There was no suspense in the second half, as Notts County called in early to win and used up three substitutions at the 60-minute mark to play the ball in control.
Seeing this situation, Cambridge United was helpless, let them attack, they would inevitably be counterattacked by Notts County, it was better to just surrender the gun, and lose a little less.
In the end, Notts County took all three points and climbed into second place in the table once again, overtaking Mansfield.
It's not news that a League Two powerhouse like Notts County beat a weaker team, let alone the game itself, but a reporter asked Loew what he thought of Mansfield chairman Ginopozo's pre-match statement against Notts County.
Loew smiled solemnly and said: "If it is really as Mr. Pozzo said, dense defense is the best tactic against Notts County, I think the result of this game says it all, I hope other opponents will adopt this tactic, so that Notts County can really be much easier." ”
And at Mansfield Club, Ginopozo no longer has the face to be interviewed, just after a long speech, he turned his head and was naked in the face by the other party, even if he is thick-skinned, he is embarrassed to stand up, and the team was overtaken by Notts County, he still don't want to go out to find uncomfortable.
