Loew thought that Liverpool might storm Notts County at home, that Liverpool would defend at home, and that Benitez would let Liverpool put a big goal in midfield to strangle Notts County

What Kloew didn't expect was that Benitez actually sent a double forward midfielder, and it was the kind of defensive double forward midfielder, directly intending to limit Notts County's midfield duo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason why Notts County have been able to dominate the midfield against most teams is precisely because they have two playmakers in the midfield position, Deco and Alonso, even if the opponent limits one of them, it is difficult to limit both stars, and Notts County's attack has been able to operate smoothly.

But now Benitez has sent two forward midfielders very aggressively, or put the back midfielder forward to deal with Notts County's double midfielder, the routine is really novel.

In this way, the equivalent of Liverpool's midfield is full of defensive players, but this does not prevent the Reds from attacking, as long as the two defensive midfielders limit Deco and Alonso, they will be prone to tackles up front, and then they can use them to play counter-attacks.

Notts County didn't get too used to the Reds' style of play for a while, and in the opening five minutes, Alonso broke the ball carelessly, and Gerrard, who had been pulled to the wing, received the pass and went straight inside with the ball, and finally assisted Barosh to score.

No one expected the Reds to score early at home, and even Rafael Benitez was a little unbelievable, how effective this tactic was?

The Reds fans in the stands were overjoyed, as if they had seen the revival of the Reds from this goal.

The Notts County players didn't react much for a while, they didn't even have a hot body, and they actually conceded the ball?

In fact, the speed of the Notts County game into the state completely depends on the opponent, if it is against a strong opponent, then the Notts County players are very fast to enter the state, and it is likely to suppress the opponent from the opening stage and take the lead early; And once the opponent is a weak team, then the players are likely to be psychologically unmotivated, and it will be difficult for Ma Shan to get into the game, and it will take a period of time to complete this!

Loew knows this, that's why he's very depressed, these guys treat Liverpool as a fish belly?

In fact, Loew was still very surprised when he saw Benitez arranging his troops for the first time, but he didn't think it was fatal to Notts County.

Last season, even if Deco and Alonso were entangled by opponents, then there were Sneijder and Iniesta in front of them who could take on the responsibility of the organization, and this season, although Sneijder and Iniesta left, there is still a high-level Ribery who can become the core of the attack, and the opponent's back forward must bring the emptiness of the backfield defense, as long as Ribery can pass the ball, whether it is Kaka or Robben, they can form a deadly threat.

Notts County conceded a goal because the defenders were not focused at the start of the game, and the opponents were clearly better prepared than the Notts County players.

However, Loew is not in a hurry, he believes that after conceding the goal, the players will immediately adjust their form, which is the most basic ability for mature players.

Although the opponent let two defenders to mark Deco and Alonso full-time, Loew can completely let Robben and Ribery drop back to receive the ball, Deco and Alonso no longer take on the burden of attacking and become defensive midfielders, making full use of the width of the field to attack from the wings, no way, who makes Notts County have outstanding players in every position!

Not to mention Ribery and Robben, two figures who can call the wind and rain on the wing, but also Leyton Baines and Lahm, two full-backs, can become core players.

Leiton-Baines had been the heart of Everton's attack in his previous life, and Lahm was also one of the attacking originators for Bayern Munich and the German national team, especially since they were on the wings, with more room to move and more threat.

Since Benitez wants to limit Notts County's attack in the middle, Loew can completely shift the attack point to the side, and Bei's arrangement is not very powerful!

When Notts County's attack shifted, Liverpool gradually felt a little overwhelmed, and the two players were exclusively roaming around Deco and Alonso, which was equivalent to scrapping two players, and the defensive pressure at the back was too much.

However, half a season is enough for Benitez to adjust Liverpool's defense to be more integrated, and in the face of Notts County's dominant bombardment, he resisted vigorously, even if there was danger in front of the goal, he still maintained a goal advantage until halftime.

When the players walked into the dressing room, they were all whispering to each other, in their impression, Liverpool is not so tenacious, is Anfield really so strong for the Reds players' mental attributes?

Indeed, even David feels the same way, Liverpool in the league and Liverpool in the cup are two completely different teams.

At the beginning of the second half, Notts County continued to attack step by step, but further increased the tempo, and they needed to equalise as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have increased their counter-attacking intensity, and consciously created more set-pieces, using their carefully prepared and diverse set-piece tactics to threaten the Notts County goal, and the game looked very intense.

Notts County hit a strong attack from Arjen Robben's flank and Villa equalised in the middle.

However, it didn't take long for Liverpool to take the lead again from a corner, and it was Notts County veteran Kuyt who scored, although his teammates came to congratulate him, but Kuyt did not celebrate, which also made the Liverpool fans at the scene applaud.

As the clock ticked by, Notts County were still behind in the scoreline, and despite the fierce attack, Liverpool had retreated with all their hands in place, and it seemed that victory was within reach for the Reds.

Loew, who also couldn't sit still, began to stand on the sidelines to deploy troops, Drogba, a beast in the shape of a beast, and Messi, who is always able to play superbly at critical moments, also put on the field, and Notts County needed to give it a go in the final minute.

The hard work paid off, and it was precisely because of Loew's two substitution adjustments that Messi broke through the Liverpool full-back on the right side, and a half-high ball accurately crossed the Liverpool central defender, Drogba completed a wonderful fish leap with his huge body, and finally broke through the door of Liverpool.

However, the scoreline between the two sides did not change again, and the two teams played out a draw at Anfield. (To be continued.) )
