Monaco's defence is more tenacious than Loew could have imagined, but if this level of defense alone can stump Notts County, how can Notts County win last season's league title?

Kaka and Robben, the two sharpest attacking points, are not on the field, so Notts County will inevitably have to find a way to attack in the position. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that Ribery was still comfortable under the defense of the opposing two players, Loew began to shift the team's attacking focus from the center to the left, Ozil and Deco responded to the left, and with the insertion of Leyton Baines, the local Notts County have formed a numerical advantage.

Although Ozil is a little worse in physical confrontation, but the excellent foot skills make up for this, as long as the ball is given to his feet, the opponent does not foul, it is difficult to grab the ball, and once Ozil feeds the ball forward, then it must be an excellent opportunity, as long as Villa can get the ball, it will definitely directly threaten the Monaco goal.

Notts County made a fuss on the left flank, breaking through Monaco's painstakingly built defence on several occasions, and Didier Deschamps was on pins and needles in the dugout.

Notts County's intention is very obvious, that is, to attack the left side, once the Monaco defense is also inclined to this side, then the middle and right will inevitably open gaps, and Notts County's dispatch is successful, and it can still be a fatal blow to Monaco.

But if the opponent is allowed to make a big fuss on the left side, it will be a matter of time before he concedes the goal, and Deschamps really feels a little inexplicable.

In desperation, Deschamps still asked the players to fill the gap in the right side of the defense, and he couldn't wait for death!

And just after his instructions were given, Deco, who has an accurate grasp of the game situation, immediately divided the ball to the middle, after Alonso's kick, the ball came to Messi's feet, the little flea faced the opponent's defender with a light pull, dodged and cut directly to the middle, before the defender was in place, a shot into the far corner, Monaco's old goalkeeper Roma can only sigh.

Monaco's defense collapsed after holding out for more than 20 minutes.

Messi was extremely excited after scoring a goal, he had a goal record in the league and opened in the Champions League himself, which is definitely commendable for Messi in his first season in the first team.

His teammates congratulated and encouraged him, and Messi only smiled shyly, just like his usual personality!

In stark contrast to the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of Notts County, Didier Deschamps' side were a bit too heavy to see how long they had practiced their defensive tactics before failing to last long in the game.

Deschamps smiled bitterly on the sidelines, defensive tactics are meaningless, if you can hold until the end of the game and don't let Notts County score, it will be considered a success, but now, what is the difference between losing one and losing a few!

So after the game restarted, Monaco became the familiar Monaco team again, and at this time they could not help but attack.

In this way, the game also returned to the most anticipated scene, and the two teams played against each other to their heart's content, and the goals came one after another, as long as there were more goals than the last one.

At the end of the game, Monaco left with regrets, losing the game and being overtaken by Laco, who had to go away to Laco in the final round if they wanted to appear.

After beating Monaco, Notts County secured the top spot in the group one round ahead of schedule and reached the last 16 of the Champions League.

The Magpies, who are playing in the Champions League for the first time in the club's history, are in the last 16 of Europe's top competition, but it makes sense to think of the quality of Notts County.

In David's view, although Notts County has made history by entering the Champions League round of 16, there seems to be nothing to celebrate for Notts County's current strength, and if they win the final championship, it is suitable to celebrate, but in the eyes of Notts County fans, breaking into the Champions League round of 16 is already comparable to winning the league championship, so the fans are happier than the holiday, and fireworks were set off for two days in a row at night to celebrate.

In this regard, Nottingham Forest fans said sourly that when Nottingham Forest reached the top of Europe, there was no such thing as them, no foundation is no foundation, and breaking into the round of 16 is like winning the championship!

And the Notts County fans naturally replied unhappily, the heroes don't mention the courage of the year, you still think about how to stay in the Premier League next season.

That's right, Nottingham Forest haven't been in good shape lately, falling into the relegation zone early, and although the league is still a long way off, it really takes a lot of effort to finish relegation at the end of the season.

Notts County were given a week's rest after a crucial game to qualify, and the Carabao Cup game a week later allowed them to continue to rotate appropriately and get more rest.

The reason why Loew is interested in this season's League Cup is that the opponent he met before is too weak, and he doesn't even have the ability to let Notts County's first team play, and Watford, the opponent in this round, is also not a strong team, as long as he defeats the opponent, Notts County has already broken into the League Cup semi-finals, to this point, the big and small League Cup is also a championship, no one will give up easily!

In this contest with Watford, Notts County sent most of the rotation players, and even because there was no substitute for the right midfield position, Loew brought Lallana from the Academy on a temporary basis, and Cazorla also replaced Mesut Ozil.

And there is no doubt that the most eye-catching thing is the starting point in Notts County's forward line, and the media is very concerned about whether Loew will keep Villa full attendance when Drogba is suspended.

When I saw the starting list, because there was no position arrangement, the reporters were very strange, looking at Loew's starters, could it be that Loew was going to play a strikerless formation again?

Cazorla playing shadows? Lallana, a player I haven't heard of before, plays as a striker? Sergio Ramos, a right wing-back, plays early at right midfield?

The media is speculating!

However, when the game started, the position of the players on the field surprised everyone.

Ramos, who has always been a right wing-back and sometimes plays as a central defender, actually appeared in the center forward position, and Notts County still played the usual 4231 formation!

Nima! Do you want to be so slippery?

It is true that there may be a jack-of-all-trades player in every team, such as the jack-of-all-trades at the back, who can play centre-back or full-back, the jack-of-all-trades in midfield, who can play midfielders or midfielders, and even pull to the wings, and there is also such a player in the Notts County team, that is Cazorla, who can play almost any position in midfield.

But what's going on with Ramos today?

A right wing-back actually played as a central striker?

Was this intentional or a last resort? (To be continued.) )
