Chapter 793: The Straw that Breaks the Camel

Benitez looked sad, and the Notts County goal was like a hammer slammed into his heart, making him feel ashamed.

Everything Liverpool was set up for this game revolved around a single theme - taking a draw away from the Magpies, but Notts County rewrote the score after a tentative attack, giving Liverpool all the Arrangements have become useless.

Then, Liverpool will face a life-or-death decision next, whether to continue to defend or attack?

The score puts the two teams back on the same starting line. If the game ends with this score in regular time, the two teams enter overtime and a penalty shootout.

If Liverpool choose to overturn their tactical arrangement and attack, Benitez has no confidence to break the Notts County goal. After all, Notts County's defense line is no longer the one that is composed of guest players and partners. After going out, the Red Army's defense line may not be able to withstand the impact of Notts County, which is likely to be a result of more losses than gains, although it is obviously unrealistic to let Liverpool attack.

Then Liverpool is left with the only way to continue to defend. It is beneficial to Liverpool to drag it to a penalty shootout. Reina, a penalty kick expert, has a role to play. If it can really be delayed to the end, The winner is likely to be Liverpool.

And even if you don't defend and concede the ball again, it will not be too late for Liverpool to attack again. The last battle will definitely allow the players to show their extraordinary strength. As long as Liverpool can score a goal, the initiative to win will return to their own hands. .

That's the safe way to go.

After quickly making a decision in his heart, Benitez called Gerrard to the sidelines and gave him face-to-face advice. When Gerrard returned to the field, the players had already received instructions from Benitez. , in the headless fly-like stage, Benitez's instructions are like a beacon in the storm, guiding the direction of their sailing.

After the restart, Liverpool did not attack as strongly as everyone expected, and still built their defense step by step, as if they were not the ones who conceded the ball.

Loew has to admit that Benitez is indeed a master tactician. If Beibald has the same cards as himself available, then it is still unclear who will die. Now Liverpool is definitely the most correct way.

Since Liverpool has no intention of attacking, Notts County will naturally continue to take the initiative and continue to launch a fierce attack on Liverpool. Unlike Liverpool, Notts County does not want to drag the game into overtime or even a penalty shootout. It can be resolved in regular time. Fight, don't work overtime!

Although Liverpool continue to defend conservatively, Benitez has no better way to limit Notts County. The goal just now is definitely not a coincidence,

It is caused by a combination of factors. Notts County continues to use this routine, so Liverpool still has the possibility of losing the ball!

No way, the players of Notts County are too strong. Each of the four attacking teams in the frontcourt has a very high one-on-one success rate, so they can only rely on the help defense to link the defense, but Messi still To be able to do it with ease, you must know that Messi is just 19 years old. How defiant he will be in the future, maybe Ronaldinho, who is in his prime now, may not be his final height!

The goal just now was instigated by Messi. After a few games, it has been proved that Rise has no way to deal with Messi. If someone helps defend, then the loophole will come out immediately, and other players will have room to play. This seems to be an unsolved proposition.

In desperation, Riise could only use fouls to maintain his defense. The price was that he had been warned by a yellow card, and the yellow robe was added. Maybe he would say goodbye to this game with another big move!

Notts County's attack was concentrated on the right, and Liverpool's defense was consciously moved to this side. Ribery, who got the space, began to stab the other side. It's sharp, and you can see blood when you pierce it. Similarly, in order to stop Ribery, Finnan was also given a yellow card for a foul.

For the rest of the first half, Notts County bombarded Liverpool's goal indiscriminately, every shot seemed like a straw, and it was unclear which shot would eventually crush Liverpool.

Liverpool could only lose one in the first half. Liverpool should really thank God. Messi and Villa each had a shot on the goal post. It was really bad luck. Otherwise, Liverpool might have collapsed now!

However, the half-time break gave Liverpool time to buffer, and Benitez could also think about how to play in the second half and how to face the wolf-like Notts County!

At this level of competition, either you die or I die.

Benitez tried to calm himself down. According to his speculation, after a long attack, Low will definitely send Drogba as a big killer. In this way, the pressure on the back line will be heavier, and they still need to Do you start setting up your defense from the midfield?

It is better to put down the air than to be reserved. Liverpool also played a bus. In the face of victory, everything is not important.

It was a difficult decision to make, and Benitez was relieved, but in this way, Liverpool was equivalent to completely handing over the initiative to Notts County, without any initiative.

Notts County can't break their bus, that's good, they can take a penalty kick smoothly, and once Notts County really breaks their bus, then all the suspense will end.

Even so, there is no better way for Benitez to do his best.

At the beginning of the second half, as expected, Notts County put Drogba on the court, but Villa did not end, and it was right back Sagna.

Loew already had a hunch that Liverpool would make changes, and even retreated to the penalty area in full. This adjustment could just restrain Liverpool's stick-defending tactics. Even if Liverpool didn't do this, Notts County would still have the upper hand.

The effect of Drogba's appearance was immediate. With him in Liverpool's penalty area, Notts County's attack suddenly had a direction, from a plane to a three-dimensional, and it was full of deterrence.

No matter Carragher or Hypia, they won't take any advantage in the contest with Drogba. With Drogba's restraint, Villa was liberated at once and began to withdraw frequently to catch the ball. Disrupting the opponent's defense line and giving up the front space to Kaka, Notts County's offensive system is simply powerless to parry.

Within five minutes of the opening of the second half, Notts County had completed a three-legged shot, and Liverpool was completely caught in the turmoil.
