Chapter 883: Top Battle
In the four games in October, Notts County achieved three wins and one draw. As a result, Heynckes won the Coach of the Month award, and Kaka won the Player of the Month award.
Compared with the embarrassment at the beginning of the season, Notts County has been steadily on the right track. Although there is still a 4-point gap with Chelsea, Chelsea's results in the four rounds of the league are not better than Notts County.
Next, Notts County ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage. CSKA Moscow is a guest at the Magpie Stadium. If Notts County can win, they will lock in the first place in the group in advance.
After the three rounds of the group stage, except for Notts County, which won all three games, the other three teams only won one game. There is almost no suspense for Notts County to qualify.
Heynckes did not let up in this game at all. He wanted to do his best. After winning this game, Notts County will not need to focus on the Champions League until February next year. Such a long period of time , Enough for Notts County to sprint in the league.
Notts County, who played with all the main players, easily won CSKA Moscow at home, leaving no chance for their opponents. The opponents who are used to playing in cold weather came to England and were not used to the wet weather here. In the second half, Notts County The county is almost unable to run.
Notts County has not been tested too much in the Champions League group stage. Although Rome is known as a strong team in Serie A, it is not considered a top team in Europe. As for Hamburg and CSKA Moscow, it can only be said that they are here. soy sauce...
In another contest in the group, Roma and Hamburg drew a draw. As a result, Notts County won the first place in the group two rounds in advance without any suspense, becoming the first team to break into the top 16 of the Champions League. .
In the other groups, it was fierce battles, and no team has yet qualified as easily as Notts County.
In Group A, Barcelona and Chelsea fought in the dark, and there is such a spoiler as Bremen. I am afraid that it will be difficult to decide who will qualify until the final round, and the competition for the first place in the group is also extremely fierce;
In Group B, Bayern and Inter Milan fought each other. The tough Inter Milan actually overwhelmed the tenacious Bayern, and the key is that there is a persistent Bo Alvesta behind. If the final result is that Bayern is forced to play in the league after the group stage Cup, David will not be surprised.
In the remaining groups, the giants have certain advantages, but they still have to wait to qualify.
Notts County can already look forward to who their opponents will be in the knockout round of 16, and hope to continue the good luck of the group stage draw!
Back in the league, Notts County won Middlesbrough and Portsmouth consecutively after qualifying in the Champions League group stage, and they are not in a hurry to catch up with Chelsea. Everyone knows this. win.
Sure enough, in the 13th round of the league, Chelsea unexpectedly lost away to Tottenham, which was a small upset. Their lead over Notts County was only 1 point.
The situation of the championship group in the league standings is really simple and blurred, and no one can be sure. The league has progressed so far, and the gap between BIG and BIG is actually only 5 points. Chelsea ranks first, followed by Notts County. , followed by Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Who can guarantee that Arsenal will not have the possibility of competing for the championship? A disadvantage of 5 points is not a disadvantage at all!
On the contrary, Tottenham's performance this season is eye-catching. They have invested a lot of money in the transfer market in the summer, and they have indeed seen results. They are currently ranked sixth in the standings, but the gap between them and Arsenal has reached 5 points , does not belong to the championship group at all.
The next 14 rounds will be very exciting. Notts County will go away to challenge Chelsea, while Arsenal will face their old rival Manchester United. Two strong dialogues, the civil war between BIG, I am afraid Mo is the happiest. Too much for Liverpool, they can benefit from it.
If Notts County can defeat Chelsea, they can surpass their opponents in the standings and reach the top of the Premier League standings for the first time this season. Otherwise, the gap between Notts County and Chelsea will widen again.
This is a game about 6 points.
Before the game, the gunpowder has already made up for it. As the two strongest teams in the Premier League and even Europe, what kind of sparks can the collision between them produce?
When Notts County met Chelsea in the past few seasons, the game may have a high gold content, but the game scene may not be good. Mourinho's team is always based on defense, and there are no particularly complicated routines and tactics in offense. When Notts County faced Chelsea, it was naturally impossible to attack with all their might, which is why this situation was created.
But this season is different. Compared with the two former coaches of the two teams, the two new coaches are obviously more passionate.
Klinsmann's Chelsea has stepped out of M's defensive system and integrated its own offensive style into the team, and Chelsea's strong midfield configuration can also ensure the integrity of the offensive system;
Although Heynckes did not make any major changes to Notts County's overall tactics, even though Loew's tactical system is still used, Heynckes still has his own characteristics in details, especially when the team is attacking. Unrestrained and full of passion.
In this way, the contest between the two teams will inevitably be a battle of offensive competition, which is in line with the status of the two teams in Europe.
Before the game, the media analyzed and predicted the game one after another, and they were also divided into two distinct factions, each cheering for their own predictions.
Once again, someone took out the players' worth and made a comparison. Everyone was shocked to find that if only the starting lineups were compared, Notts County didn't seem to have much advantage anymore!
Notts County sold four super-high-value players in the summer, while Chelsea introduced a super-high-value player, and the difference was wiped out in one fell swoop!
Only from the analysis of strength on paper, comparing strengths one by one, it seems that Notts County does not have much advantage.
The single strikers of the two sides are Shevchenko and Villa. After Shevchenko came to Chelsea, he did not show too much dissatisfaction. Unlike his previous life, in Klinsmann's tactical system, Shevchenko Although Vchenko does not have the tactical freedom to surpass the team, he also has a lot of room to play, and the ability he shows does match his worth;
Although Villa fell into a scoring shortage at the beginning of the league, after breaking the scoring shortage, Villa also scored again and again. Even if the number of goals cannot be compared with the peak period, it still belongs to the ranks of super shooters;
In this position, the two teams are considered a tie!
The front midfielders or shadow forwards of the two teams are Lampard and Kaka respectively. Although Lampard is more comprehensive, Kaka's contribution to the offense in a single round is stronger. This position is considered to be the leader of Notts County. Bar! .
