Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty Eighth Choice and Draw

?? Obviously, this strong dialogue between Arsenal and Notts County is the most focused game in this round, which directly affects the ranking of the standings, and may even influence the ownership of the final champion. How could it not be concerned?

Of all the people, the most tormented is undoubtedly Notts County coach Loew. How to arrange the troops is a big trouble. Rao is Notts County's lineup is not bad, but it still makes him feel quite tricky.

If you really want to give up the game completely, then Notts County can send a reserve team to play. I believe that the boys in the reserve team must be very willing, but the problem is, the league has reached the final sprint stage, and Notts County still has a lot of competition for the championship throne. How could you give up so easily!

And if you send all the main players to play, then in the next away game against Real Madrid, can the young players really compete with the experience of the Real Madrid superstars?

Balance, half main and half off the bench, then it is very likely that the next two games have been taken into account, but neither achieved any good results. You know, against Arsenal and Real Madrid on the road, no team dared to say It must be won, and it is still in the case of all the main players.

Ke Love really didn't have a good choice. In the end, he gritted his teeth. Among the main and rotation lineups, he chose a lineup with relatively good physical condition and went to face Arsenal away.

In order to achieve good results in the two-front battle, Loew really worked hard!

Before the game, many people speculated that Loew might continue to send the main force to fight against Arsenal. After all, the main lineup got a chance to rest last game, and there should be no problem with their physical condition, and now Notts County is already in the league standings. Being caught up by Chelsea, there is absolutely no room for loss in this game. As for the Champions League away game against Real Madrid, Notts County, which has a two-goal advantage at home, can completely deal with it by rotating the lineup. Winning or losing depends on heaven. For the new players in the Champions League, they made it to the top 16 in their first appearance in the Champions League. They also played Real Madrid without temper at home and pushed them directly to the edge of the cliff, which is enough to prove their strength. Do they really plan to win the Champions League? what! Wash and sleep!

The media just hope that Notts County will focus on the double line. There is no doubt that everyone feels that Notts County will focus on the league, which is more secure and more pragmatic.

But when Notts County announced the starting list, everyone was shocked and amazed.

Morientes, Ozil, Cazorla, Mendieta, Alonso, Mascherano, Lescott, Gary Cahill, Lahm, Abidal, Diego Lopez.

If this lineup faces the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, it will definitely have the upper hand. Even if it is compared with the Premier League teams competing for the UEFA Cup, it can still win a fight, but in fact, there are only 4 of them. An absolute main player.

Notts County what is this for?

Do they really think that with less than half of the main lineup, they can beat the giants Arsenal on the road?

This is too crazy, right?

Or is Notts County holding back for the Champions League?

Whatever Notts County may think,

This lineup is probably difficult to compete with Arsenal head-on. If so, wouldn't they even give up the chance to tie for the top spot with Chelsea?

However, Arsenal coach Professor Wenger is very clear. Notts County's intentions are clear. The Magpies obviously take the Champions League more seriously, leaving most of the main lineup to deal with Real Madrid. If it was him, he would probably also do it. out this choice.

With ten rounds remaining in the league, Arsenal is already 8 points behind Notts County and Chelsea at the top of the table. Although this is not a score that theoretically has no hope of winning the championship, with the stable state of Notts County and Chelsea, Arsenal wants to catch up. , is not an easy task, so for Wenger, the most important thing in front of us is not to shout slogans that are too ambitious, but to fight game by game, maybe there will be a good result in the end!

In this game, Notts County did not send the strongest lineup, and Arsenal's pressure can be much less. At least Wenger is not too worried about losing, because he knows that Loew will definitely let Notts County play in a conservative manner. to fight.

The situation of the game also proved that Wenger's prediction was right, but the difference was that Notts County was more conservative than he thought. If it wasn't for a particularly good chance to counterattack, the attacking foursome in the frontcourt would not be easily dispatched. , but sit firmly in the half, resisting Arsenal's attack.

In this game, Notts County showed a rare tenacity. After all, Notts County was the dominant side in most of the scores. It is rare to see such tenacious defense as now. The solution, even if Wenger dispatched his troops in the second half, he was not able to break the Notts County goal, and Notts County once again took away a draw from the away game.

Wenger seemed very helpless after the game, but he was not able to grasp the good situation. Although Arsenal who only scored one point was sniping at Notts County, it was Chelsea who took advantage. The winning Blues have already dominated the Premier League standings. Arsenal and Chelsea have a 10-point gap.

Of course, Arsenal is obviously not the focus of media attention in this game. Notts County, which was pulled from the top of the standings by Chelsea, is what everyone really pays attention to.

Many people questioned Loew's deployment of troops. During the sprint for the league championship, Notts County boldly used the second-tier lineup to challenge the giants and left for the Champions League. Do they really think they can make a difference in the Champions League?

Once the Champions League is lost, it is not so simple to want to catch up in the league at that time.

Facing the doubts of the media, Loew responded calmly: "This season is the first time for Notts County to compete in the Champions League. We hope to create a miracle for the new team to win the championship, so we will invest more energy in the Champions League. But that doesn't mean we're giving up the league, maybe a lot of people don't see it, even if Notts County loses the top spot now, so what?"

"Please take a look at the schedule of Notts County in the next 9 rounds of the league. Only the Red Army Liverpool can really be called a strong enemy, and Liverpool is now difficult to get a place in the Champions League. It can be said that as long as Notts County is serious, It is very likely to usher in a wave of consecutive victories!”

"Chelsea have to face Arsenal and Manchester United in the following leagues, and Chelsea played away from home in those two games. As long as Chelsea stumbles a little, the initiative will return to Notts County. in hand."

"I believe that even if Notts County loses the top spot now, the future Premier League title will still belong to Notts County!"

Loew's voice was very firm! (To be continued.)
