On February 2, Notts County played against Manchester United at home. This is the second time the two teams have met in the league this season.
In the first leg of the contest, Manchester United drew with Notts County at home, but the referee had several controversial penalties in that game. Notts County also had a fight with the FA. Without the help of the FA, Manchester United would not know what would happen. What a loss!
Soon the Champions League knockout round will kick off. Notts County must accumulate a certain advantage in the league as soon as possible. The extremely tenacious performance of Chelsea behind them puts a lot of pressure on Notts County.
Manchester United is a traditional giant in the Premier League. Without the Champions League mission this season, their schedule is undoubtedly much easier, and they have more energy to attack the league. Currently, Manchester United is 5 points behind Chelsea and ranks third in the standings, 7 points with Notts County. difference.
This game is a game about 6 points. If Manchester United still wants to win the league championship, this game must be won, at least not to lose, otherwise once the point difference reaches double digits, it will be really difficult to compete for the championship. It's difficult, the current Premier League is no longer the Premier League where the Red Devils dominate!
However, not many people are optimistic about Manchester United in this game. First of all, Notts County has adjusted its state, and its strength is definitely stronger than Manchester United. Moreover, Notts County is still playing at home, and the advantage is too great. The most important thing is that Manchester United may not have high morale. !
In the last round of the match between Manchester United and Liverpool, Liverpool player Riise volleyed a free kick and the ball hit Alan Smith's supporting leg. Alan Smith was seriously injured and fell to the ground, his calf was twisted and fractured strangely. The scene was quite terrifying. people.
Anyone who has seen this scene will probably have lingering fears. At least David can't see such a scene. Can Manchester United players have no shadow in their hearts?
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the morale of the Manchester United team was not high, and they even felt completely out of shape. Notts County had already secured the victory in the first half.
In the end, Notts County won Manchester United in this focus battle and continued to lead the standings. Although Ferguson was helpless, he had nothing to do with Notts County.
In this game, Loew deliberately rotated Ronaldinho to start the game. The Portuguese supernova played well and became the best player of the game with one pass and one shot. Love is using this method to annoy Ferguson!
In the same round, Chelsea lost again. This time, Chelsea still overturned the relegation team. As a result, Notts County's lead has reached 5 points, and it is not possible to catch up in one game. up.
Both Notts County and Chelsea are the strongest clubs in the Premier League and even European football. However, many teams in the Premier League often have different strategies when facing the two teams. This is where Chelsea suffers.
Notts County has strong overall strength, strong offensive ability, and very tenacious defense. Therefore, many teams often face Notts County before fighting.
But it is different when facing Chelsea. Although Chelsea’s defensive ability is super strong, there are not many ways to attack. If the opponent puts on a dense defensive posture, they may not be able to take all three points. When facing Chelsea, even if you don't want to win, you will put on a dead-end air, so you can often get a point from Chelsea.
At least from the perspective of the league, Chelsea's consumption is definitely greater than that of Notts County!
Chelsea has been improving, and Notts County is also improving, and the rate of improvement is much greater than Chelsea, which is why Chelsea can only eat ashes behind Notts County most of the time.
After defeating Manchester United, Notts County went all out to win Tottenham in an away game, winning four consecutive victories and completely getting out of the shadow of three rounds of poor form.
The team performed well, and the players looked very relaxed during training.
There have been 27 rounds of the Premier League, and there are still 11 rounds left, which can be counted as the final sprint stage. In the competition for the top scorer, the suspense seems to be greater than the suspense of the championship.
Now ranked first in the scorer list is Didier Drogba, the king of African elephants scored 17 goals;
Villa followed Drogba with 16 goals and ranked second in the scorer list. Although it seems that the number of goals is far less than the last two seasons, considering Villa's playing time, it seems to be scored. The ball rate is also quite high.
There are also deeper reasons for this. Villa is now slightly less flexible in Notts County's tactical system, and is more like a pure shooter. With the rise of Kaka, Villa sometimes has to stay There is no room for sprinting, so that there is less room for self-expression!
The result of this is that Villa's scoring rate has dropped, but Kaka's goals have increased. The Brazilian is now tied for second place in the scorer list with 16 goals and Villa.
This is the effect of Loew's tactical change. Notts County relied too much on Villa's goals in the previous two seasons. For the overall tactics, this may not be a good thing. If Villa is completely marked by the opponent Or if the state is not good, then Notts County will lose the biggest scoring point, which will still have a great impact on the results.
But now, Villa gave up a certain amount of space, and the tactics of more blooming made Notts County's offense stronger, but Villa needed to make some sacrifices.
The three Notts County players occupy the top three in the scorer list. It seems that the league golden boot has become an internal competition, and the smell of gunpowder has suddenly become much weaker.
Originally, the only hopeful contender for the Golden Boot was Arsenal striker Henry. However, Henry has been seriously injured this season and has barely played.
For the sake of fairness, Notts County's penalty kicks are now taken in turns by three people. In everyone's words, this is called impartiality.
In fact, Villa has already won two Premier League Golden Boots in a row, and he is not very interested in winning three consecutive championships. Not thick.
The same is true for Kaka, why should he compete with others as a midfielder, why not let Drogba develop his style!
Drogba's style is doomed that he will not be a super shooter. His greater role is to bring a huge tactical advantage to the team. As for shooting skills, I am afraid that he will not be ranked in the Notts County team!
However, this season Drogba has greatly improved his shooting skills. It is not easy for the league to score 17 goals and rank first in the scorer list, so the players hope that Drogba can become the top scorer. It is the best reward for his contribution.
