The pride of Notts County is the common belief of Notts County players!

David felt that all he could do was treat these players well and make them proud to be a Notts County player.

Liverpool have been in excellent form this season, and Liverpool have been fully tuned by Benitez into his ideal team, but the only regret for him is that Liverpool's squad configuration is still a bit behind the top giants, and it is also stretched thin in terms of bench depth.

It is not for nothing that Liverpool can keep up with the top of the standings and only fall behind by one point, but in recent games, Liverpool's shortcomings have been exposed in a series of vicious battles, and it has been very difficult and thrilling to win several games in a row.

In David's view, it is not unreasonable for Benitez to be able to take Liverpool to make a difference in the Champions League in the previous life, the depth of the squad determines that Liverpool cannot rush to the end in the long league, rather than trying their best but without any results, it is better to better play their potential in the Champions League.

Therefore, Liverpool reached the Champions League final twice under Benitez and won the Champions League once, but in the league, they have never been able to become the king of the Premier League.

Benitez, you better go and play in the Champions League, you are doing well in the league now, you really don't look like you!

Notts County and Liverpool played five games last season and were on the verge of throwing up each other, but it seems that there is no sign of the two teams meeting outside of the league, which makes the players on both sides miss it.

It is not for nothing that the FA has officially hyped this game as a Christmas game, and Liverpool's tactics are clearly more varied than Chelsea's, and Notts County and Liverpool are usually not conservative when they play each other, and the game will be very exciting.

The pre-match warm-up process has been done by the FA, but Notts County and Liverpool don't really appreciate it, and many times, everyone wants to play quietly, rather than making people panic, as if the game is so important that if you lose, you can't see the sun tomorrow.

On the day of the game, the Christmas atmosphere was already very strong, and the fans who went to Anfield Stadium to watch the game wore Santa Claus hats to dress themselves, making the tense atmosphere of the game a lot easier.

However, when it came to the competition, the festive atmosphere was directly swept away by the fiery confrontation.

This is a game that no one can afford to lose, and if you lose a game in big5, you may face the risk of falling behind, and once you fall behind, you may never have a chance to catch up.

Notts County did not tie their hands at all because it was an away game, and directly opened up the frame and started to fight against Liverpool.

Aside from the poor form in the early stages of the season, especially recently, Notts County's slow heat problem has improved a lot, and Heynckes' style is like that, how can the players slow down?

And Liverpool was naturally unwilling to let Notts County show off at home, and tried their best to suppress Notts County at the beginning.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the competition, it skipped the temptation and directly entered the white-hot stage, without any foreshadowing.

In Heynckes' opinion, defense is important, but defense does not make you win, and if you want to win, you have to rely on attack in the end, so just make sure that you end up scoring more goals than your opponent!

Notts County adheres to this principle and focuses on defence, but defence is definitely not the main theme of the game, and when the opportunity does arise, the defence has to take a back seat.

The two teams fought fiercely, and the core players of both teams were also given special care, especially Mascherano, who completely abandoned other tasks in this game and showed 100% momentum to keep an eye on Liverpool's core player Gerrard.

Notts County almost bought Gerrard from Liverpool during the summer transfer window, and if this deal materializes, then for the younger brother, Gerrard will become his team-mate, however, the result is that his main position is also likely to change.

The daughter-in-law of many years has become a mother-in-law, and when she came to Notts County a few seasons ago, Brother Ma has always been a rotation player in the midfield, first as a substitute for Meireles, and then as a substitute for Deco, although the number of appearances is not a lot, and has been repeatedly regarded as a defensive wonder, but who does not want to have a more important position and role!

Now, Pony wants to prove himself in a head-to-head duel with Gerald, at least, he can defend against Gerald.

But obviously Gerrard in front of him today is not the omnipotent Gerrard, including Gerrard, the overall state of the Liverpool team is obviously not the best, and the repeated vicious battles have caused them to consume a lot, and there is not enough bench depth to support, and the main players are really a little unbearable.

Like Notts County, Liverpool have also qualified for the Champions League and the last four of the Carabao Cup, and these three competitions alone are enough for their main squad to drink.

After the opening fierce confrontation, Liverpool's fitness break came earlier than Notts County, so Notts County keenly seized this point in time and beat Liverpool to the point where they couldn't hold their heads up.

Unfortunately, this successive wave of attacks did not produce substantial results, which in turn allowed Liverpool to sneak up on Notts County a few times.

Halfway through the first half, Liverpool was slightly inferior in overall statistics, but with the blessing of the home team, Liverpool was still able to confront Notts County head-on.

However, Liverpool's performance fell into the eyes of the two managers, but it was a different story.

Benitez naturally knows the current situation of the team, if he can't break through the Notts County goal at the beginning, then after the second half of the physical exhaustion, no one can guarantee how much Liverpool's fighting power will be left!

And Heynckes is also keenly aware of this, the current Liverpool is really not the strongest Liverpool, Notts County can use a more simple and direct way to win the game.

The two coaches gave instructions to the players on the field at the same time, and the style of the game also changed dramatically.

Liverpool retracted, giving up the initiative, holding on to the half-time to reduce the distance and number of sprints to reduce the physical exertion, at least, the first hard fight with Notts County has passed, and the next hard fight is yet to come.

And Notts County further accelerated the pace of attack, their intention is very obvious, is to use this wave of rhythm to completely drag down Liverpool, and then, to win the game!

The competition has fully entered the competition of willpower! (To be continued.) )
