Chapter 558 Treat the Red Army as a Belly

Loew thought that Liverpool might attack Notts County at home, also thought that Liverpool would defend at home, and even thought that Benitez would let Liverpool put a long goal in the midfield to strangle Notts County... .

What Ke Love didn't expect was that Benitez actually dispatched a double attacking midfielder, and he was still the kind of defensive double attacking midfielder, directly intending to limit Notts County's midfield dual-core.

The reason why Notts County can occupy the midfield advantage when facing most teams is precisely because they have two playmakers, Deco and Alonso, in the midfield position, even if the opponent limits them. One, it is difficult to limit all two stars, Notts County's offense has been able to run smoothly.

But now Benitez has sent two attacking midfielders very aggressively, or put forward the lower midfielders to deal with Notts County's double midfielders. The routine is really novel.

In this way, it is equivalent to that Liverpool's midfielders are all defensive players, but this does not hinder the Red Army's offense. As long as the two defensive midfielders limit Deco and Alonso, it will be easy to appear in the frontcourt. steals, which they can then use to counterattack.

Notts County didn't get used to the Red Army's style of play for a while. In the opening five minutes, Alonso stole the ball carelessly. Gerrard, who had been pulled to the wing, took the pass and took the ball to the inside. Assists Baros to score.

No one expected the Red Army to break the goal early at home. Even Benitez was a little unbelievable. How effective is this tactic?

The Red Army fans in the stands rejoiced, as if they saw the revival and rise of the Red Army from this goal.

The Notts County players didn't react very well for a while. They didn't even have the heat to run, yet they conceded the ball?

In fact, the speed at which the Notts County game enters the state depends entirely on the opponent. If it is against a strong enemy, the Notts County players enter the state very quickly, and it is likely to suppress the opponent from the opening stage and take the lead early; and once the opponent is weak. Brigade, then the players are likely to be mentally unmotivated, and it is difficult for Ma Shan to enter the state of the game, and it takes a period of time to complete this point!

Loew knows this, so he is very depressed, these guys treat Liverpool as a belly?

In fact, the first time he saw Benitez's formation, Loew was still very surprised, but he didn't think it was fatal to Notts County.

Last season, even if Deco and Alonso were both entangled by opponents, Sneijder and Iniesta were still in front of them to take on the heavy responsibility of the organization. Tower left, but there is still Ribery who can become the core of the attack. The front of the opponent's back must bring the emptiness of the backcourt defense.

As long as Ribery can pass the ball, whether Kaka or Robben, can form a deadly threat.

Notts County conceded the ball because the defensive players were not focused at the beginning of the game, and the opponent was obviously more prepared than the Notts County players.

However, Loew is not in a hurry. He believes that after conceding the ball, the players will adjust their state immediately. For mature players, this is the most basic ability.

Although the opponent asked two defenders to mark Deco and Alonso full-time, Loew could completely let Robben and Ribery drop the ball. Become a defensive midfielder, make full use of the width of the court to attack from the wing, there is no way, who makes Notts County have outstanding players in every position!

Not to mention Ribery and Robben, the two figures who can call the wind and call the rain on the wing, the two full-backs, Leighton Baines and Lahm, can both become core-level players.

Leighton Baines used to be the core of Everton's attack in his previous life, and Lahm is also one of the starting points of Bayern and the German national team's attack, especially since they are on the wing, they have more room for movement and are more threatening.

Since Benitez wants to limit Notts County's attack in the middle, Loew can completely shift the attacking point to the wing, and Bei's arrangement will not have much power!

When Notts County’s offense was transferred, Liverpool gradually felt a little unbearable. The two players swam beside Deco and Alonso, which was equivalent to abolishing two players, and the defensive pressure in the backcourt was too great. .

But half a season was enough for Benitez to make Liverpool's defense more holistic. Facing the indiscriminate bombardment by Notts County, he resisted it, even if there were dangers in front of the goal. Still maintained the advantage of a goal until halftime.

When the players walked into the dressing room, they were all whispering to each other. In their impression, Liverpool were not so tenacious. Could it be that Anfield really has such a strong increase in the spiritual attributes of the Red Army players?

Indeed, even David feels the same, Liverpool in the league and Liverpool in the cup are two completely different teams.

At the beginning of the second half, Notts County was still attacking step by step, but the pace was further accelerated. They need to equalize the score as soon as possible, otherwise the longer the delay, the more unfavorable the situation will be.

On the other hand, Liverpool increased the intensity of their counterattacks, and consciously created more set-pieces, using their carefully prepared and diverse set-piece tactics to threaten Notts County's goal. The game scene looked very intense.

Notts County made a successful attack from Robben's side, and Villa in the middle succeeded in outflanking to equalize the score.

However, it didn't take long for Liverpool to take advantage of the corner kick to take the lead again. It was the former Notts County player Kuyt who scored the goal. Although his teammates came over to congratulate him, Kuyt did not have any celebrations. It also made the Liverpool fans at the scene applaud.

Time passed, and Notts County was still behind in the score. Although the offensive was fierce, Liverpool had already retreated. It seemed that victory was close to the Red Army.

There were also some who couldn't sit still and began to stand on the sidelines to dispatch troops. Drogba, a human-shaped beast, appeared on the stage, and Messi, who can always play supernaturally at critical moments, also went into battle. Notts County needed to be in the final game. Time to let go.

The effort paid off, and it was precisely because of Loew's two substitution adjustments that Messi broke through the Liverpool fullback on the right, and a half-high ball passed the Liverpool centerback accurately. Drogba completed it with his huge body. A wonderful diving to the top, and finally broke the gate of Liverpool.

However, the score between the two sides did not change again, and the two teams tied at Anfield. (To be continued.)
