Benitez grimaced, and Notts County's goal was like a hammer hammer in his heart, leaving him in the dust. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everything about Liverpool revolved around one theme - a draw from the Magpies, but Notts County's tentative attack changed the score with a very efficient attack, which made all of Liverpool's set-up useless.

So, Liverpool is faced with a life-and-death decision, whether to continue to defend or attack?

The score puts the two teams back on the same page, and if the game ends in regulation time with this scoreline, the two teams go to extra time and penalty shootouts.

If Liverpool chooses to overturn their tactical arrangement and attack, Benitez is not confident that he will be able to break through Notts County's goal, after all, Notts County's defense is no longer the one composed of guest players who are full of holes, and after attacking, the Reds' defense may not be able to withstand the impact of Notts County, which is likely to be a result that outweighs the loss, although it is obviously unrealistic to let Liverpool attack.

Then Liverpool only has to continue to defend this way to go, drag to the penalty shootout, it is beneficial to Liverpool, Reina, a penalty expert, has a place to play, if it can really be delayed to the end, it is likely to win Liverpool.

And even if you don't hold on and concede the ball again, it will not be too late for Liverpool to attack again, and the back-to-back battle will inevitably allow the players to play extraordinary strength, as long as Liverpool can score a goal, the initiative to win will return to their own hands.

That's the right thing to do.

After making a quick mental decision, Benitez called Gerrard to the sidelines and lectured him in person, and when Gerrard returned to the field, the players had already received Benitez's instructions, and in the headless fly-like stage, Benitez's instructions were like a lighthouse in a storm, guiding them in the direction of sailing.

After the restart, Liverpool did not attack as strongly as everyone expected, and still built a defensive line step by step, as if it was not they who conceded the goal.

Loew has to admit that Benitez is indeed a master tactician, and if he has the same cards in his hand, then it is really unclear who will die, and it is definitely the right thing to do now for Liverpool to hold on.

Since Liverpool has no intention of attacking, Notts County naturally continues to grasp the initiative and continue to launch a fierce attack on Liverpool, unlike Liverpool, Notts County does not want to drag the game into extra time or even penalty shootouts, and the battle that can be solved in regular time should not work overtime!

Although Liverpool continues to defend conservatively, Benitez has no better way to limit Notts County, the goal just now is definitely not a coincidence, but a combination of factors, Notts County continues to use this routine, then Liverpool still has the possibility of conceding goals!

No way, the individual ability of the players in Notts County is too strong, and each of the front-court offensive quartet has a very high one-on-one success rate, so they can only rely on the help defense to link the defense, but Messi is still able to play well in it, you know, Messi is just 19 years old, how against the sky he will be in the future, maybe the current Xiao Luo may not be his final height!

The goal just now was instigated by Messi, and after a few games, it has been proved that Reese has no way to take Messi at all, if someone assists in defense, then the loophole will come out immediately, and other players will have room to play, which seems to be an unsolvable proposition.

In desperation, Reese can only use fouls to maintain the defense, the price is that he has been warned by a yellow card, the yellow robe is added, and maybe another big move will say goodbye to this game!

And Notts County's attack was concentrated on the right side, and Liverpool's defense was unconsciously mobilized to lean to this side, and Ribery, who got the space, began to stab the knife on the other side, the small knife, fast and sharp, pierced and bloody, similarly, in order to stop Ribery, Finnan was also yellow carded for a foul.

For the remainder of the first half, Notts County bombarded Liverpool's goal, with every shot like a straw, and it was unclear which one would be the one that would crush Liverpool in the end.

Liverpool should really thank God for losing only one in the first half, Messi and Villa each had a shot hit the post, it was really unlucky, otherwise, Liverpool might have collapsed by now!

However, halftime gave Liverpool time to buffer, and Benitez was able to think carefully about how to play in the second half and how to face the wolf-like Notts County!

The game goes on to this extent, either you die or I die.

Benitez tried to calm himself down, and he speculated that Loew would definitely send Drogba as a big killer after a long period of failure, so that the pressure on the back line would be even heavier, and it would be necessary for them to start arranging the line from the midfield?

Rather than being reserved, it is better to put down the shelf, Liverpool also played a swing bus, in the face of victory, everything is not important.

Benitez was relieved to have made the difficult decision, but in this way, Liverpool was equivalent to completely putting the initiative in the hands of Notts County, without any initiative.

Notts County can't break their bus, so it's okay they can go to the penalty kick smoothly, and once Notts County does break their bus, then all the suspense will be over.

Even so, Benitez has no better way, let everyone do their best!

At the start of the second half, as expected by Becky Bald, Notts County did bring Drogba on the pitch, but Villa did not come off, and it was right-back Sagna who came off.

Loew already has a premonition that Liverpool will make a change, even a complete retreat to the penalty area, which is just the right adjustment to restrain Liverpool's rigid defensive tactics, and even if Liverpool don't, Notts County will still have the upper hand.

The effect of Drogba's appearance was immediate, with him in the Liverpool penalty area, Notts County's attack suddenly had a direction, from flat to three-dimensional, and full of intimidation.

Regardless of Carragher or Hyypia, they can't take any advantage in the competition with Drogba, with Drogba's containment, Villa was liberated at once, and began to retreat frequently to receive the ball, which can not only disrupt the opponent's defense, but also give Kaka the space to go forward, Notts County's offensive system is simply powerless to parry.

In just five minutes of the second half, Notts County had already completed three shots on goal, and Liverpool was completely caught in the wind and rain, like a small sampan, which could be destroyed by the storm and waves at any time! (To be continued.) )
