The luck of Notts County in the League Cup is still good. The opponent drawn is Cardiff City from the British Championship, and it is also a poor person who has once fallen together in the lower leagues.
Considering the next schedule, Loew did not completely send the rotation, but the configuration of half main force and half replacement, so that the Cardiff City coach has a feeling of being highly valued.
Yes, in the last round of the League Cup in Notts County, even against Leeds United last season, it was only a few young players, and this time playing against themselves, actually became the general main force, this is not just to be afraid of yourself Endless!
The Cardiff City coach is so contented that the spring breeze in the interview before the game seemed to have found a way to fight Notts County. Everyone followed him with confidence. There was no way. Who made Notts County obviously not paying attention to the league For the Cup, even if the semi-principals play, I am afraid it will be a walk!
However, in the game, Notts County did not walk through the field as everyone expected, but kicked with a real knife, so that Cardiff City could not withstand it at all, and the first half did not go through half the time, I have already surrendered my gun!
In the end, Notts County eliminated Cardiff City with minimal consumption and advanced to the fifth round of the League Cup.
However, after this game, Notts County came with a wave of extremely dense schedules, which made Loew extremely frustrated.
On November 6, they challenged Aston Villa away;
On November 10, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, they challenged Super Laco away;
On November 13, the third consecutive away game, the opponent was Southampton;
On November 17, at home against Bolton;
November 21, vs. Manchester City at home;
In two weeks, Notts County needs to play 5 games, among which there is a strong dialogue with Champions League opponents. Although the opponents in the league are generally not strong, they are also difficult opponents. If Notts County Can't get enough points from these opponents, then I am afraid that they will be overtaken by the powerful Chelsea.
The away game against Vera is the easiest. The League Cup game does not consume too much energy from the players. In addition to the appropriate rotation, the team's combat power is kept intact, so even if the game is played away, Vera is not left too. Many opportunities.
The only shortcoming in the United States and China is the injury problem. The team's main center defender Carvalho was injured in the knee in the fight with the opponent. The injury is expected to stop for 2-3 months.
The Portuguese central defender has always been the Dinghaishen needle on the back line of the Notts County. His partner has changed and changed, but he has always been firmly in the main position and is the most reliable and trustworthy teammate.
With his injury, the strength of Knotts County's defensive line dropped directly. Fortunately, Cannavaro came back and was in good shape, otherwise the team would not even have a backup central defender.
After playing Vera, Notts County rushed to Spain non-stop to prepare for the game against Super Laco.
The importance of this game is self-evident. Although the previous three rounds of the group stage have won, but it is only to make the qualifying situation of Notts County good, but it has not been secure. You know, in David’s memory, there was a ball. The team scored 12 points in the group stage, and finally regretted being out. Notts County did not want to repeat such a tragedy, so before the appearance, Notts County must not be careless.
At Riazor Stadium, Notts County and A Coruña once again staged an offensive battle. The game was very fierce. Super Laco at home finally showed his nerve knife qualities, even if the Notts County defense basically did In place, there is no big omission, but they still can't resist their goals.
Fortunately, Notts County's offense is not something that the opponent can easily stop. Otherwise, Notts County will really have to lose at Riazor Stadium.
The end result was that the two teams had a tie, and the score was 3:3, further implementing the title of the bloodiest team in history.
After four rounds of group games, Notts County still led with 10 points, and behind it were Monaco with 7 points and La Coruña with 5 points. As for Olympiacos, they didn’t get a draw and won. The are almost over 15 negative...
The qualifying situation is good. As long as the next Notts County can beat Monaco at home, they will appear as the first team in a round in advance. This is definitely a perfect match for the first time the Notts County to participate in the Champions League. result.
But at present, the eyes of Notts County cannot stay in the Champions League. Three consecutive league games within a week are the headaches of Notts County.
The English Premier League has now run 11 rounds, and Notts County is still leading in the standings, which has far exceeded the club's expectations for results.
Although the team's strategy is to focus on the Champions League, the league can get as good a ranking as possible, but now that it has been ranked first, the player's competitiveness has recurred, why not go hand in hand in the league and the Champions League?
The success of last season’s two-lane battle gave the players incredible confidence. They hope that this season will have such a result. Even if the club does not say it, they privately decided to defend the league...
Although Loew didn’t make it clear, he was a player, and he was very accurate in grasping the players’ psychology. Although the team ranked first in the Premier League, because there are too many young players in the rotation, there may be a critical moment. The problem is that the chance of defending the league is not high, so he still put his hopes more in the Champions League.
Because he had just fought a game with Lako, this game against Southampton used a big rotation, and all the players were able to play.
At present, Southampton's situation in the league is not good. Although it has not stayed in the relegation zone~EbookFREE.me~, it has not scored too many points. Since the beginning of the season, there has been pressure to relegate, so every game They all need to work hard!
Sitting at home, even if the opponent is the defending champion Notts County, the Saints did not catch the hand to capture, but launched a desperate counterattack.
Southampton's coach saw through the excessive number of young players in the Notts County team, and asked the players to step up the squad in the midfield, and even to execute the strangling tactics.
His strategy was successful, several tough fouls, including Messi, several players are not very daring to act, the team's offense can not open the situation, even if Drogba recklessly repeated in the midfield Confrontation with the opposing defensive player also didn't help, and in the end Notts County got a draw from away.
Loew is angry, but not disappointed. He understands the concerns and psychological fluctuations of young players. Even if he is replaced by himself, I am afraid that it is difficult to truly overcome psychological obstacles. Take that step!
This is also a hidden danger in the future of Notts County. The physical confrontation ability of the midfield and frontcourt players is not outstanding. Both Messi and Ozil, these two players are absolute technical players, but it is unreasonable if they are encountered on the field. Barbarians, their power will be greatly reduced, this is also where they will strive to improve in the future! (To be continued.)
