Chapter 588: Trade-offs and draws

Obviously, this strong dialogue between Arsenal and Notts County is the most focused game of this round, which directly affects the standings of the standings, and may even affect the ownership of the final champion, how can it not be concerned?

Among all of them, the most tormented is undoubtedly Notts County coach Loew, how to arrange the squad is a big problem, Rao is Notts County squad depth is good, but it still makes him feel quite tricky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

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 of the reserve team must be very willing, but the problem is that the league has reached the final sprint, and Notts County still has a great competition for the championship throne, how can it be easy to give up!

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

To balance, half the main team and half substitutes, then it is likely that the next two games have been taken into account, but they have not achieved any good results, you know, away against Arsenal and Real Madrid, no team dares to say that it will win, and it is still in the case of full main play.

Koloff really didn't have a good choice, and in the end he gritted his teeth and chose a relatively physical squad among the main and rotating lineups, and went to face Arsenal away.

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

Before the game, many people speculated that Loew may continue to send the whole main team to fight hard with Arsenal, after all, the main squad got the opportunity to rest in the last game, and there should be no problem with the physical condition, and now Notts County has been caught up by Chelsea in the league standings, this game must not be lost, as for the Champions League away to Real Madrid, Notts County, which has a two-goal advantage at home, can use the rotation lineup to deal with it, winning or losing all depends on the sky, anyway, for Notts County, the new team in the Champions League, made their first appearance in the Champions League and broke into the round of 16, and they also beat Real Madrid at home to the edge of the cliff, which is enough to prove their strength, do they really plan to win the Champions League! Wash and sleep!

The media just wanted Notts County to focus on the two fronts, and there was no doubt that Notts County would focus on the league, which would be more secure and pragmatic.

But when Notts County announced the starting list, it surprised everyone.

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

If this set of lineups faces the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, the absolute strength is in the upper hand, even compared with the Premier League powerhouses competing for a place in the League Cup, it can also have a fight, but in fact, there are only 4 absolute main players.

What is Notts County doing?

Do they really think they can beat giants Arsenal away from home with less than half a set of main teams?

That's too arrogant, isn't it?

Or are Notts County holding back for the Champions League?

Regardless of Notts County's ideas, it may be difficult for this squad to compete head-on with Arsenal, so wouldn't they even have to give up the chance to be tied for the top spot with Chelsea?

However, Arsenal manager Professor Arsene Wenger is very clear that Notts County's intentions are clear, and the Magpies obviously take the Champions League more seriously, leaving most of the main squad to deal with Real Madrid, if it were him, he would probably make this choice.

There are still ten rounds left in the league, Arsenal is already 8 points behind the top Notts County and Chelsea, although this is not a theoretical point without hope of winning the championship, but the stable state of Notts County and Chelsea, Arsenal wants to catch up, it is not an easy thing, so for Wenger, the most important thing in front of him is not to shout slogans from a high pitch, but to play game by game, maybe there will be a good result in the end!

And Notts County did not send the strongest team in this game, and the pressure on Arsenal 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.

The situation of the game also proved that Wenger's prediction was correct, but the difference was that Notts County were more conservative than he thought, and if it wasn't for a particularly good counter-attacking opportunity, the attacking quartet in front of the field would not be easily deployed, but sat firmly in the half, resisting Arsenal's attack.

In this game, Notts County showed a rare tenacity, after all, most of the score, Notts County is the dominant side, it is really rare to defend as tenaciously as now, Arsenal did their best, even in the second half Wenger deployed troops, but was not able to break through Notts County's goal, Notts County once again took away a draw from the away.

After the game, Wenger looked very helpless, but did not grasp the good situation, although Arsenal, who only got one point, sniped Notts County, but it was Chelsea who took advantage, the winning Blues have monopolized the top of the Premier League standings, while Arsenal has a 10-point gap with Chelsea.

Of course, Arsenal were clearly not the focus of media attention in this game, and it was Notts County who were pulled out of the top of the table by Chelsea that were the real focus.

Many people questioned Loew's deployment of troops, and during the sprint period of the league championship, Notts County still boldly used a second-tier squad to meet the giants and stay for the Champions League, do they really think they can make a difference in the Champions League?

Once you lose the Champions League, it is not so simple to catch up in the league when the time comes.

In the face of the media's doubts, Loew responded calmly: "This season is the first time for Notts County to participate in the Champions League, and we hope to create a miracle for the new team to win the championship, so we will put more energy into the Champions League, but this does not mean that we have given up the league, and many people may not have seen it, even if Notts County is now losing the top of the table, but so what? ”

"Please take a look at the schedule of the next 9 rounds of the league against Notts County, the only real opponent who can be called a strong opponent is the Red Army Liverpool, and Liverpool is now difficult to even get a Champions League place, it can be said that as long as Notts County is serious, it is very likely to usher in a wave of consecutive wins!"

"Chelsea, on the other hand, have to face Arsenal and Manchester United in the next league games, and Chelsea played away from home in those two games, so if Chelsea miss a little, then the initiative will return to Notts County."

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

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