Chapter 28 Advancement
Facing Northampton's No.2 free thrower, Ben Foster was unusually calm and calm, and did not make a save in advance, but it happened that the opponent took a penalty kick similar to a spoon, and he caught it straight.

The moment the penalty kick was saved, Ben Foster clenched his fists in front of his chest and roared twice with a ferocious expression, as if venting the surging emotions in his heart.

The Notts County players who put their shoulders together were also very excited, hugging and celebrating each other, as if they had won the penalty shootout.

Villa, who had just missed a penalty kick, finally lifted his head that he had been afraid to raise just now. If the team is eliminated from the League Cup because of his own penalty kick, then he really wants to become Notts County Thanks to Ben Foster's support, the two sides returned to the same starting line.

David has made up his mind that he must ask Ben Foster to take care of him once in a while to express his gratitude.

Next, the players on both sides were very calm and scored penalty kicks one after another. The penalty score of the two sides was 3:3, and there was still one player left.

The last player from Northampton seemed a little nervous. When he set the ball back, his feet slipped and he staggered and almost fell. You know, this is walking on flat ground.

When Loew saw this almost comical scene, his heart was burning, and he seemed to have the idea of ​​winning.

The eyes of the audience are all focused on the two players who are offensive and defensive. The fate of the two teams will be determined by them.

Ben Foster, who had just saved a penalty kick, once again surprised everyone. This time he accurately judged the opponent's free throw line, and saved the opponent's low-quality penalty kick to the bottom line with a side throw.

The audience was silent, and the moment he stood up after saving a penalty kick, Ben Foster took off his gloves fiercely and threw them into the sky with all his might.

The Notts County players really wanted to rush over and hug Ben Foster, but the penalty shootout was not over yet, so everyone could only suppress their excitement and wait for the last player to take a free throw.

What is a savior? Today, Ben Foster gave everyone the most accurate interpretation, that is, after saving the opponent's penalty kick, he will then score the penalty kick.

Coincidentally, Notts County's fifth penalty shooter was Ben Foster.

This is not surprising, goalkeeper penalty kicks are not common in football, but they are definitely not rare, especially in penalty shootouts.

As a goalkeeper, Ben Foster may have a stronger psychological grasp of the goalkeeper. As long as his footwork is not extremely smelly, it is not surprising that he takes the penalty kick.

Putting the ball on the penalty spot with a calm face, Ben Foster backed away, then sprinted and slammed the ball hard.

All the eyes of the audience followed the ball, and Ben Foster's vigorous volley penalty kick left everyone dumbfounded.

Everyone knows that the greater the strength, the directional control may be weakened. When taking a penalty kick, more angles are pursued than speed.

But Ben Foster seemed daring, and as it turned out, he succeeded.

The half-high ball was originally the easiest for the goalkeeper to save, but due to the speed, the opponent's goalkeeper had no time to react in time. Although he had already made the save, he could only watch the ball go into the goal in despair.

This time, the Notts County players didn't need to hold back their excitement anymore, they rushed to Ben Foster together and pressed him hard, while the players on the bench also rushed into the field excitedly, Joined the ranks of stacked arhats.

David really wanted to rush in and join the victory celebrations, but he gave up the idea when he saw Love's calm performance beside him.

The Northampton players left the field disappointed, but several players took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Notts County players. This was the first time that Notts County players were treated like stars.

David couldn't help but smile. These Northampton players have foresight, or they are very lucky. You know, the players on the Notts County field will all be well-known football stars in the future, even superstars. It is far from being restricted by the current League Two.

Having won the first round of the League Cup, both Loew and David breathed a sigh of relief. In the most difficult stage of the team, it is really worth celebrating to not be eliminated.

After returning to the club, the team did not have a holiday on the second day, because the third round of the League Two will be ushered in the weekend, which will be the third game of Notts County within seven days, which is the legendary Three games a week.

This intensive schedule made David complain, but he also knows the situation in English football. There are 24 teams in the English League Two, 46 ​​rounds of matches in a season, plus the League Cup, the FA Cup, and only the lower league. The British Championships, which only teams from the first-level leagues can participate in, even if these three cups are eliminated in the first round, there are almost 50 games in a season. If they go further in the cups, double matches a week or even Three games a week is almost as common as it is commonplace.

The next day was just a restorative training, and Ben Foster, the team's biggest siege, seemed to be a big star on the training field. have no choice.

Diego Lopez needs to rest for three weeks, which means that in the next period of games, Ben Foster will be the guard of the team's gate, which makes him feel a lot of pressure.

After the training, Loew and David stayed in tacit understanding and walked into the coach's office together.

"The result of the game against Northampton is not very important, but the team was able to win a penalty shootout in such a difficult situation, which is of great help to the morale of the team. If we can play a few more games like this, I think the team will be able to integrate faster!"

Love poured David a glass of ice water, sat on the sofa, and said with a smile.

David nodded, agreeing with Loew's statement that this kind of game really improves morale and can also enhance the cohesion of the team.

"But now that we have won this game, we need to make a good plan." Love cleared his expression and started to get to the point.

David also sat up straight, which happened to be the purpose of his looking for Love, and it seemed that the two thought of going together.

"Although the depth of the team's lineup is good, it may be difficult to survive such a dense schedule if there are double matches in a week, so we need to plan our focus for this season."

"The league is definitely ranked first, I think you should have no different opinions. As for the League Cup and the FA Cup, I would like to hear your thoughts. There is also the British Championship, my opinion is to give up Order this tasteless game." Loew expressed his opinion, and at the same time asked for the opinion of David, the chairman of the club.
