The pinnacle battle between Manchester United and Notts County had the feeling of being a tiger and a pig, and the pre-match was full of noise, as if it were a world war, comparable to the pinnacle of the World Cup final, which made countless fans look forward to it.

But who would have thought, when it comes to the game, you can't see the excitement of the game, where is this classic battle of the century, it is simply the main lineup and substitute lineup of a club doing offensive and defensive drills on the training ground!

Manchester United's style of play in this game has really made too many people criticize, the dignified Premier League giants Manchester United, actually facing a promoted horse, scared to defend the half and the penalty area for the whole game, not even a little aggressive, where is the glory and temperament of your giants?

You've been bloodied in the first round! I don't want to take revenge, but I don't dare to attack for fear of losing, shrinking as a turtle, do you want to point the bottom line!

This kind of game is naturally not exciting, Notts County is attacking decently, but it can't stand Manchester United's real guns, resulting in no goal in the whole game, and even Notts County has been attacked to a certain extent.

There are even some people who always like to think about things in the worst way that this game is a game of match-fixing between two teams, and it is an absurd game controlled by a gambling group, otherwise how could such a peak duel have such a process and result!

Regardless of scolding, although most fans can't see it, but they can still understand Manchester United's approach, don't look at Manchester United's recent wave of consecutive wins, but the opponent who defeated is not a team that can do it, in fact, purely on strength, Manchester United in the shock has been Arsenal and Notts County This stable team has thrown off the gap, and has lost the hope of winning the championship.

A draw from the league leaders is undoubtedly a very good result for Manchester United, if they really don't take it upon themselves to play against Notts County away, they may not know how to die, isn't the lesson of the first leg deep enough?

At least a draw is guaranteed, and it's better than being left behind!

So Manchester United still go their own way, not affected in the slightest!

For Notts County, although it is quite unwilling, but since Arsenal and Chelsea have also unexpectedly drawn, the points gap has not been narrowed, and it is also an acceptable result, so this game has passed.

And the tense schedule also makes Notts County have no time to sigh for this game, and the next opponent is not deliberately at the mercy of Notts County, it is the only giant Liverpool that Notts County has not met this season.

Thinking of this game, David suddenly had a wonderful thought, so much so that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

If memory is correct, next season Liverpool will take the 04-05 Champions League title with a stunning night in Istanbul in the Champions League final.

So putting aside whether Notts County will win the Champions League next season when they participate in the Champions League for the time being, the current situation is that if Liverpool does not have a strong recovery performance in the second half of the season, I am afraid that they will not even be able to qualify for the Champions League next season!

Liverpool have finished in the Premier League table past Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in the Premier League table to qualify for the Champions League, before beating Austrian champions Graz in the qualifying rounds to qualify for the Champions League group stage next season.

But judging from the current situation of Liverpool, it is very difficult to qualify for the Champions League.

Because of the birth of the dark horse of Notts County, the Premier League standings are another scene, and even the 49-game unbeaten Arsenal team in the future has not had much temper under Notts County, and Chelsea and Manchester United are also chasing Arsenal, these four clubs are the first team in the standings and the favorites to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Liverpool is now as much as 5 points behind Manchester United, and there is a gap of more than 10 points with Notts County, not to mention that if you want to win the league title, it is even more difficult to surpass Manchester United to enter the Champions League zone.

Could it be that the emergence of Notts County will not only play Philiverpool's Champions League title, but even the Reds' qualification for the Champions League will be taken away?

David said he really didn't think so!

But the rise of the Premier League is already the trend of the times, the original top four, plus the strong Notts County that has not appeared in history, five clubs compete for four Champions League tickets, and it is destined to be eliminated by a giant, and must play the League Cup, which is extremely cruel.

Think about the later local tyrant Manchester City, oh my God, choose four out of six, which still makes the Premier League giants not live!

It is conceivable that the Premier League, which has a very hot league atmosphere, will be sought after, and I am afraid that the other four major leagues together may not be able to catch up!

If history does not change significantly, Benitez, who has achieved extraordinary results in Valencia next season, will come to Anfield, but the key is that if the current manager Houllier digs a hole that is too big for Liverpool to not even participate in the Champions League next season, then Benitez will not even have the basis to lead Liverpool to win the fifth Champions League trophy in the club's history, what a tragedy!

In fact, Benitez's Liverpool does not have particularly outstanding results in the Premier League, and to do more is to guarantee a Champions League place, and if it were not for the Champions League trophy in his first season, Benitez would have been fired for a long time.

But after thinking about it for a while, David felt that he really didn't need to worry about Liverpool, what does it have to do with whether Liverpool can enter the Champions League or not, anyway, the goal of Notts County next season must be the Champions League title, even if Liverpool has a Champions League place, so what!

However, the first leg of the league against Liverpool this season still worries David, the team has fought viciously, the physical condition is not ideal, and there is still the FA Cup to play behind, and the depth of the squad that countless people envy is already stretched at this time.

From the point of view of the outside world, Notts County, which is not in ideal condition, may have the first defeat of the season in the game with Liverpool, what Arsenal and Manchester United did not do, it is likely that Liverpool can do it, the time and place are favorable, and Notts County does not occupy any of them!

However, Liverpool coach Houllier does not dare to be careless, you know, Liverpool is now empty of the name of the giants, but when it comes to real strength, I am afraid that there is a certain gap with several clubs at the top of the standings, he will not be as blindly optimistic as the fans, even Manchester United has to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the defensive in the game with Notts County, if Liverpool is really not self-sufficient, then it is likely to usher in a fiasco.
