Chapter 873: Villa's goal drought

Notts County got off to a good start in the Champions League with a 6-0 win away at Hamburg and announced their return with a wild scoreline. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The post-match press conference and the pre-match press conference were completely different styles, and Hamburg coach Dole could no longer find the high-spirited feeling he had before, and the whole press conference sat in front of the stage with his head drooping, except for a few dry words at the beginning that he regretted losing, and then said nothing, as if he had been hit hard.

The key problem is that the reporters don't want to let him go, and they have been asking all kinds of embarrassing questions.

The next day, the front page of the sports newspaper was full of news from Notts County, and without exception, it was headlined with "Notts County is back!" ", they are reminding the continental giants that Notts County, which God can't stop last season, is really back!

In fact, in the last round of the league, although Notts County did not win, but has shown a very good state, this Champions League game to reach the peak is also logical, reasonable thing, at least the Premier League teams have this preparation, but the giants of other leagues, those who have missed the Champions League because of Notts County's previous poor form are a little unbearable, they are still waiting for Notts County to sink for a season, but never expected that in just a few games, the strongest Notts County will come back, can you still leave a way to live?

Major bookmakers have also urgently adjusted the odds to win the championship, and Notts County is back at the top!

The media also forgot about the dirty water poured on Notts County a few days ago, and began to sing praises to Notts County, David really wondered if these media still had any face to speak of.

There's no way, Notts County represents news, it represents sales, if they don't report on Notts County, then it's better to kill them directly, and lose some face!

After returning to England, Notts County did not have time to rest and continued to prepare for the Premier League, although the team played on the road, but it also took a lot of physical energy, but fortunately, Notts County squad depth is enough, even if a wide range of rotation, can easily cope with the league.

Notts County have won two league games in a row, winning at home against Aston Villa and away at Wigan Athletic, and both games have been devastating victories, clocking out at half-time, and the good form shown by Notts County can't help but look sideways.

Perhaps there were people who thought that Notts County's good form was a return to the past and would soon be beaten back to its original form, but now, this statement is self-defeating, because this is the state that Notts County should be.

After six league games, there has been little change in the top of the table, with Chelsea at the top of the table with five wins and one draw, Manchester United at the top of the table, followed by Liverpool, Arsenal and Notts County with four wins, one draw and one defeat, with only one win-lose gap between the top five.

The league has only started six rounds, and the difference of 3 points really can't be called a gap, maybe the next game will be erased.

Now no one will say that Notts County has no hope of winning the title, who can guarantee that Notts County will not be able to catch up with these three points?

Although Notts County has recovered its form and re-transformed into the invincible team last season, it does not mean that the media cannot find a breakthrough point from Notts County, because of David's play, the media have lost face, as long as there is a chance, how can they let Notts County go!

This time they put the breakthrough on Notts County striker Villa!

The number one striker in Notts County, who has won the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, won the Premier League top scorer twice, and also won the European Golden Boot, has become the top star in world football.

However, at the beginning of last season, due to the change of Notts County's tactics and Villa's personal form, Huluwa's goals dropped sharply, so much so that she finally lost the Premier League Golden Boot.

This season is even more worrying, not counting the pre-season warm-up, six rounds of league games in the new season, a Champions League, plus the Community Shield and the UEFA Super Cup, as the team's number one striker, Huluwa Villa has not scored a goal, and the goal drought has widened to 9 games.

This is nothing short of unthinkable for Villa, a super-scorer who has not scored in three consecutive games in previous seasons, let alone a nine-game goal drought.

This time the frustration of the media has finally found an outlet, the goal shortage is a fact, you have no way to refute it, as the team's top scorer, scoring goals is the biggest task, if you don't score, what face do you have to play at the front of the team?

As a result, conspiracy theories about Villa were rampant for a while, and various theories emerged one after another, some said that Villa had fallen rapidly, some said that Villa's transformation failed, and some said that Villa and the club were in poor shape because of conflicts with the renewal of the contract.

If it weren't for the media hype, everyone might not have found out about it, but now that things are a little out of control, it turns out that Villa really hasn't scored for a long time.

In fact, it is said that Villa did not score in nine games, but in fact, in these nine games, Villa only started six games, and one of them only played half of the game, if you have to count, the goal drought should be five and a half, not nine.

Take a look at the stats from Villa in those games, with 28 shots on goal, seven of them on target, and three in the woodwork, without scoring.

What does the data tell us?

Compared to last season or even earlier, Villa's average shots per game have dropped because of the poor form at the start of the season, the shooting on target rate has also dropped, and as for the three-legged goal frame, it can only be indicative of bad luck.

The lack of goals does not mean that Villa has not contributed to Notts County's attack, and in these five and a half games, Villa has made a total of 21 dangerous passes and also contributed six direct assists, a statistic that Drogba, who was more tactical last season, may not be able to achieve.

With such an analysis, the facts have become very clear, on the one hand, the reason for Villa's goal drought is due to tactical transformation, and on the other hand, it is due to poor form and bad luck some time ago.

If you have to say that Villa has any psychological problems, but not that, after all, he is already the world's top scorer, what kind of big scene Villa has not experienced, and he will not be stubborn for not scoring in a few games.

At least there was nothing unusual about Villa in training, and his performance was very reliable.

So, neither David nor Heynckes cared about the media attack, how can a great shooter crush the rumors?

Hit back with a goal, of course! (To be continued.) )
