Chapter 235
At present, the most feared thing in Liverpool's formation is Michael Owen, a sharp-edged striker, Mr. European Footballer, Chasing Boy, a terrible killer.
At his peak, Irving's speed is extremely terrifying, and he can even cross all defenders.
With the addition of a high center forward Heskey, Liverpool's striker is full of impact.
But in the entire Liverpool team, except for Owen, that is, Gerrard let David appreciate it, as for the other players, they are a bit unsatisfactory.
If the starting lineup of Notts County is comparable to that of Arsenal, it may be slightly inferior, but if compared with Liverpool, David feels that Notts County will not be inferior.
Notts County has the strength to compete with Liverpool. Even most professional media will think so after watching the battle between Notts County and Arsenal.
Houllier's words seem to have kicked off the battle between the two sides, and everyone has entered the warm-up stage.
"Liverpool will end Notts County's continued miracle." - Steven Gerrard
"Liverpool is rotten, they have long since lost the glory of the giants they once were, and Notts County will use this game to prove it." - Alonso
"I will use goals to help the team beat Notts County in this game!" - Owen
"I will play the strongest defense in this game and let Irving get it." - Carvalho
"The Notts County midfield has an Achilles' heel, and we will make good use of it." - Harman
"I believe that with the help of the atmosphere at home, we can beat Liverpool cleanly." - Meireles
The players on both sides expressed their opinions one by one, as if they were full of confidence, which also made the UEFA Cup game enter the state early.
In fact, encountering a domestic team's civil war in the European war is something that may not be seen in several seasons, especially when the Premier League has not really risen, it is difficult to do this.
The alternative confrontation between the traditional giants Liverpool and the upstart Notts County has naturally attracted much attention.
As the most direct competitor in the Premier League, although Liverpool has not been involved in the glory of the championship for many years, Liverpool and Manchester United still do not want to let go of the opportunity to beat Liverpool.
"Notts County is very strong, even stronger than Liverpool. If Mr. Houllier can't let the team play 120% of combat effectiveness, then the only result waiting for them in the away game is failure!" Wenger was asked in an interview As for his views on this civil war confrontation, he answered in this way.
The implication is that he is not optimistic about Liverpool, and even fundamentally puts Liverpool in a weak position.
Ferguson's words were even more shocking, and he almost didn't regard Liverpool as an opponent of the same level.
"In the Premier League, Liverpool have been left far enough by Manchester United and Arsenal that they have no chance to compete for the league title. The UEFA Cup is the only title they can fight for this season, so they must pay attention to their opponents, otherwise they may really lose. All four are empty!"
The words of the two giants at the helm are unfavorable to Liverpool without exception. One is because they really understand the strength of Notts County, and the other is simply because they don’t want their competitors to live well. But no matter what, after this, Notts County The voice of Zixian to win is even higher.
Liverpool originally wanted to prepare for the game quietly, but since Houllier was forced to speak, they have fallen into chaos, and they are about to catch up with the double red meeting with Manchester United.
"Notts County is really that powerful?"
During training, the Liverpool players huddled together and chatted.
"Looking at the video of the game, I feel that the strength is good, otherwise it would be impossible to knock Arsenal out of the FA Cup, but who knows if they played super in that game!"
"I don't think there is any need to worry. Anyway, our hope of winning the league is slim. The UEFA Cup is the only championship we can pursue. No matter what, we will fight to the death. But Notts County is different. They still have to play. The FA Cup and League One, it is estimated that their physical fitness will not last!"
"It doesn't matter, the soldiers will block the water and cover the ground. I don't believe that we can still lose to a League One team like Notts County. We will play this game well. After we win, we can laugh at Arsenal. Look. Look, Notts County is no more than this kind of strength, you can't even compete with a League One team like Notts County, so that's it!"
On the Notts County side, David has always assumed the responsibility of attracting firepower, and Loew can naturally lead the team to prepare for the game without interruption.
Even though he already believes that Notts County is stronger than Liverpool in his heart, any giant should not be underestimated. You must know that in terms of historical performance, even Manchester United cannot catch up with Liverpool. The Red Army has only recently fallen into a trough, but God knows what It recovered in a day!
Regarding the strongest point in the Liverpool team, Loew also arranged for Mascherano to be a full-time man-marker. You must know that in the campaign to eliminate Arsenal, it was the little brother who successfully blocked Vieira and made a great contribution, so Lew Husband hopes that he can still complete the task well in this game.
Although Irving is so fast, I'm afraid I can't even see his taillights, but I don't rely on speed to defend. He has precise judgment and textbook-like shoveling, so there is still a high chance. Limit Owen's.
Of course, Love wouldn't expect to be able to completely block Irving with Makoto alone.
Since owning Owen, Liverpool's overall tactics have been biased towards a quick counterattack, so that the speed of Chasing Boys can be maximized.
And Notts County sits at home, and it is inevitable to attack aggressively in this game, and there will inevitably be a large area of gaps in the backcourt. In this case, Owen is the most terrifying striker in the world.
Anyway, Loew didn't intend to really eliminate Liverpool by virtue of defense. Even if Owen seized the opportunity to counterattack, as long as the offense is strong, the game will be under the control of Notts County.
This is Loew's tactical thinking in this game.
When Liverpool came to the Meadow Lane Stadium in Notts County on the day of the game, the Liverpool players who were used to playing at Anfield Stadium could not help but become disdainful.
No way, the slightly old and dilapidated stadium in Notts County is really not worth it. If it is placed in League One and League Two, it can be tolerated, but in the Premier League, it can almost become a ruin.
However, when the Liverpool players suddenly remembered that Notts County had built a new modern stadium nearby, and that it had entered the final stage and could be delivered soon, they were directly discouraged and would not feel that they were anything special.
