While the outside world was hyping the focus of the battle, when countless fans cheered Liverpool about to pull down the black horse of Knotts, Liverpool were preparing for the battle in a low-key manner, as if this game was just an ordinary game. , Instead of the powerful dialogue between the giants Liverpool and the league leader Notts County.
Although Liverpool's anomaly caused some suspicion, most of them agreed that the Red Army was holding a low-key move and wanted to give Notts County a ruthless home game.
But at the beginning of the game, everyone was dumbfounded. Is this a good move?
Liverpool did have a special arrangement. With the opening of the home, they made a 10 minute attack. When the 10 minutes arrived, they immediately retreated and formed a intensive defense. It was exactly the same as Manchester United did in the last game.
Notts County was also a little bit confused by Liverpool's tactics. Liverpool's offensive was still very threatening. The Magpies must definitely avoid their sharp edges at the beginning. But after ten minutes, all Liverpool players will retract. Notts County players have not What happened was the reaction. After careful testing for a long time, it was discovered that Liverpool was really recovered.
By the time the Notts County reacted and the army was overwhelming, the first half was over!
And because of the fear of Liverpool’s counterattack and the speed of Irving, Notts County did not dare to devote all of his energy to the offense, which led to the offensive threat not being played to the extreme. At the end of the first half, the two teams surrendered. Entered the dressing room.
At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool unexpectedly opened a wave of offensive, and once again made Notts County caught off guard, almost causing a goal drop.
In the same ten minutes, Liverpool completed a wave of retraction defenses and continued to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Notts County. Even if this is Anfield, they will not fight against Notts County throughout the game. Attack, the odds of winning are too low, you know, those who do not self-discipline play against Knotts County, now only corpses are left.
After the recovery in Liverpool, perhaps with the experience of the first half, Knotts County did not need to try it out, directly changed the form and began to attack, and under pressure, Notts County did not leave too much room, compared with the first half There is a lot more determination in the expression.
There is no way, news has come from other venues, Arsenal lead the opponent with a big score, has guaranteed the victory of this round of the game, if Notts County draws again, then Arsenal will shrink with Notts County The points gap is approaching Knotts County in the standings.
This is not the result that Notts County wants to see, so even if it is an away game, it is necessary to win a victory. The outcome of this game is very important.
Loew was also a little unable to sit still at this time. Arsenal chased so tightly, which made him very stressed. Before the UEFA Cup started, it was the stage of scoring points in the league. Even if Arsenal could not be thrown away, at least Can't be caught up by Arsenal!
Notts County players also fought to run. Although the physical condition is not good, but this critical moment, apart from scoring goals, everything is no longer important.
But just like Liverpool and Manchester United have learned, the pride of the giants is not retained. It is called a strict guard. Not only is the small penalty area full of people, but there are four or five goalkeepers in front of the door.
Playing to such a degree in defense, even Notts County, who once offered extreme defensive tactics, thinks that it is not as good.
When Loew adjusted the tactics of double center again, Notts County faced Liverpool's copper wall and iron wall, but had no choice but to play more high-altitude balls, but Liverpool's defensive advantage is also high-altitude ball, as a team has not yet completed the technical The old master of reforms, Liverpool is not afraid of bombing at high altitude.
Klosekong had a strength but couldn't try it out. The small movements of Liverpool's two central defenders were enough for him to deal with for a while. In addition to the cheats of the personnel in the restricted area, Klose jumped no matter how high it was.
As for Villa, who has always been like a fish in the penalty area, he has already been drowned in the crowd. No matter where he swims, there must be a Liverpool defensive player around him, which makes him feel extremely suffocated, and his advantage cannot be exerted.
Seeing that the high-altitude ball did not have much effect, Loew immediately adjusted the tactics, and the two centers changed from the pivot function to pull, creating space and space for players with long shots in the back row. At present, long shots are undoubtedly a promise. Ibaraki’s strongest intensive defensive game.
If the mature Messi is on the field, then he has a certain chance to break the dense defense through the dribbling in the middle, so that the opponent's position loses its effect. However, no one on the field of Notts County has this ability, even In general, no player in the entire world has this ability, so they can only rely on long-range shots.
Fortunately, long-range shooting is also a strength of Knotts County. Last season, Sneijder and Alonso both achieved 10+ goals through long-range shooting. This season, with the same long-range shooting Deco, Knotts County can be said to have set up three forts in the midfield. If Qiqi launches, that kind of power can almost smash the opponent's players.
Well, when Knotts County sacrificed the fort tactics, Liverpool's penalty area became a human hell, although Liverpool players did their best to use their bodies to form a tight airtight strong, it is a feat to be able to block the gun. , But the problem is... What a pain!
The ball is just like a cannonball It's okay to hit it on the leg, but also on the buttocks. If it hits the upper body, it can even suffocate Liverpool players, and it will be breathless for a while.
In a few minutes, the game had been suspended twice. Gerald was suffocated. Carragher was shot and did not get up for a long time.
Regarding the "atrocity" of the Notts County players, Liverpool fans in the stands scolded the sky. If there is no barbed wire barrier, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of Red Army loyal to the court and fight desperately with Notts County players.
Seeing the miserable situation of the Liverpool players, even the referee did not have the patience to watch it, but there is no way, Knotts County has no intention to hurt people intentionally, the shots are all directed at the goal, and Liverpool players must use their bodies to go He couldn't control it.
At this point, the game was interrupted frequently, and one by one Liverpool players were bored and resumed on the sidelines. Even the Red Army soldiers who were smashed into the legs did not rub their legs with gritted teeth, it was really painful!
The game is about to turn into a farce. The fans watching the broadcast in front of the TV are overjoyed. They have seen too much in the fierce game. It is rare to have such an interesting game. Everyone is watching it with interest. (To be continued.)
