Chapter 1010: Defending and Counterattacking Arsenal

Of the 25 players in the first team, nine are recovering from injuries, an injury on the scale that can bring a club apart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not uncommon for injuries to drop dramatically, and Notts County have had their share of serious injuries, but more often in a few positions, and Notts County have really not suffered such a massive injury drop.

Although Mesut Ozil is on the verge of returning, it is only a drop in the bucket and will not solve the problems that Notts County is currently facing.

Especially at centre-back, Nemanja Vidic and Gary Cahill have both fallen, leaving Carvalho and Thiago Silva alone, and if it weren't for Ramos' cameo appearance, it would have exhausted the two of them.

The only good thing is that Notts County now only have the league and the Champions League, and with a huge lead in the league, there is a chance to breathe, otherwise the crash is really not alarmist.

Because injuries have seriously affected the rotation of players, Heynckes can only use more diverse tactics in the league to create opportunities for players to rest, such as the second leg of the match with Arsenal, Notts County lined up a squad of 442, giving Messi and Kaka a chance to rest and adjust.

Due to the injuries of Suya and Lewandowski, Vardy has been given more opportunities, David is now very glad that he did not choose to loan Vardy out at the beginning of the season, compared to the little boys in the academy, the adult Vardy will not suffer at least in the confrontation, after a period of tempering in the game, there is a big flying stance.

Everyone knows that Notts County has fallen into a difficult predicament, especially Notts County's season win has already become the target of public criticism, how can Wenger not want to bite off a bite of meat from Notts County to satisfy his hunger, you know, Arsenal is now competing for the Champions League The situation is very bad, in addition to the outstanding Notts County, Chelsea has also thrown off the gap with the team behind them, Arsenal wants to get a ticket to the Champions League, or need to overtake Liverpool and Tottenham, and now these two teams are in good shape, They are ahead of Arsenal in the standings, and don't forget that there are old rivals Manchester United, and it is harder than heaven to fight for a Champions League ticket.

Arsene Wenger showed his determination to win early on before the game, if even this almost crippled state of Notts County can't handle it, then Arsenal really don't need to fight for anything, and now the Gunners just want to bully Notts County's incomplete squad and plummet.

However, Notts County, who have an 18-point advantage in hand, really don't care much about this game, even if it is a home game, even if it can only get a draw, it can be regarded as a victory for Notts County, so Heynckes is very sensible to formulate defensive counterattack tactics, which is undoubtedly the least expensive method.

Wenger naturally didn't expect Notts County to be conservative at home, this is not Notts County style, he thought that Notts County would attack aggressively, and Arsenal only needed to defend and counterattack, however, he miscalculated!

In the opening ten minutes, Arsenal did not take the initiative to attack, and Notts County did not take the initiative to attack, as if neither side had much expectation of victory.

Wenger was a little dumbfounded, he never thought that Notts County would come to such a hand and roast him on the fire at once!

Notts County can not care about winning or losing, but Arsenal can't, in the final sprint for a Champions League place, every game is like a battle, about the final result of the season, it is really a race for points.

There is no way, Wenger can only blow the horn of attack, Arsenal began to press the whole team, even if they are helpless, they can only attack, who makes them congenitally insufficient, if they have such an advantage as Notts County, where do they still need to work so hard!

Arsenal attacked, but it was in the hands of Notts County, and Notts County's counter-attack plan could officially begin.

Notts County may have rarely used counter-attacking tactics in recent seasons, but this age-old conservative tactic is to some extent similar to the high press in a sustained press, except that the fast break after a successful high press is closer to the opponent's goal, while the counter-attack in a defensive counter-attack is still a long way from the opponent's goal, and there will be a lot of variables in between.

However, it doesn't matter, today's Notts County frontcourt combination does not consider anything else, but it has a gorgeous similarity, that is, running fast, from Cristiano Ronaldo on the left to Bale, who cameos to the right, and then to Vardy in front, the three guys can run one by one, even if they go to the track and field sprint event, it is more than enough, even Villa, who is not slow, can only eat dust behind the three of them when he starts slowly, not to mention Arsenal's weak backline.

In this way, the first half of the game went on for half an hour, and it looked like Arsenal was attacking vigorously at the Magpie Stadium, but in fact, everyone who watched the game knew how embarrassed Arsenal really was.

Arsenal's pass can only be in the midfield, as soon as it enters the front-court threat area, it will immediately face the high-pressure defense of Notts County, and the threat attack rate is not high, and on the other hand, Notts County, as long as there is a counterattack opportunity, it will be a wave of counterattack climax, and the three sprinters simply use Arsenal's backfield as a runway to sprint, stabbing Arsenal into grinning, so that several defenders don't even dare to assist.

Arsene Wenger's hair fell down one by one on the sidelines, but he just couldn't do anything about Notts County.

The offense can't penetrate Notts County's defense, and the defense may not be able to prevent Notts County's counterattack, Arsenal really can't say it's bitter!

As soon as he thought of the grim situation, Wenger had an urge to hit his head against the wall, maybe he could find an excuse to rest for a while, Arsenal's situation loves whoever has a headache and a headache!

Perhaps many managers have the same idea as Wenger when facing Notts County, it seems that they are helpless to take Notts County by any means, and they are in the same era as Notts County, which is the sadness of all clubs!

At least Wenger has not found a way to compete with Notts County so far, and this solution actually exists, but it is not something that Arsenal can come up with now.

At the moment, it seems that Inter Milan have a chance to break Notts County's dominance of European football, because their squad is no longer part of Notts County, and they have a mature tactical system that may not necessarily win against Notts County, but at least they can compete with it.

Although Arsenal is also the top European giant, the configuration of the Gunners is really not very good now, the new stadium makes them full of money, and they still owe a lot of foreign debts, so they don't want to think about making a big difference in the transfer market!
