Chapter 763 Occupy the Shooter List
Notts County host Manchester United on February 18, the second time the two teams have faced each other in the league this season. ???? Fire Ran? Text??????
In the first round of the match, Manchester United drew Notts County at home. However, the referee had several controversial penalties in that game, and Notts County also had a fight with the FA. Without the help of the FA, Manchester United would not know what to do. What a loss!
The Champions League knockout round will soon kick off. Notts County must accumulate a certain advantage in the league as soon as possible. The extremely tenacious performance of Chelsea behind them has put a lot of pressure on Notts County.
Manchester United is a traditional giant in the Premier League. Without the Champions League task this season, their schedule will undoubtedly be much easier, and they have more energy to impact the league. Currently Manchester United is 5 points behind Chelsea and ranks third in the standings, 7 points behind Notts County. difference.
This game is about 6 points. If Manchester United still wants the league title, this game must be won, at least not lost, otherwise once the points gap reaches double digits, it will be really difficult to win the championship. It's hard, the current Premier League is no longer the Premier League where the Red Devils reign supreme!
However, not many people are optimistic about Manchester United in this game. First of all, Notts County has adjusted its state and is definitely stronger than Manchester United. Moreover, Notts County is still playing at home. 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 support leg. Alan Smith fell to the ground with serious injuries. His calf was twisted and fractured. The scene was quite shocking. 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 shadows 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 that they were completely out of state. Notts County had already sealed the victory in the first half.
In the end, Notts County won Manchester United in this focused battle and continued to lead the standings. Although Ferguson was helpless, he had no way to take 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. Loew is using this method to anger Ferguson!
In the same round, Chelsea lost again. This time, Chelsea still capsized on the relegation team. As a result, Notts County's lead has reached 5 points, which cannot be caught up in one game. .
Notts County and Chelsea are the most powerful clubs in the Premier League and even European football, but many teams in the Premier League often have different strategies when facing the two teams.
This is where Chelsea is relatively disadvantaged.
Notts County has a strong overall strength, super offensive ability, and a very tenacious defense. Therefore, many teams often face Notts County before they fight, and they often do not face Notts County in a game.
But it’s different when facing Chelsea. Although Chelsea’s defensive ability is super strong, there are not many ways to attack. If the opponent puts on an intensive defensive posture, they may not be able to take all three points, so many teams are in When facing Chelsea, even if you don't want to win, you will put on the air of dying, so you can often get a point from Chelsea.
At least from the perspective of the league, Chelsea's consumption is definitely bigger than 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 be left behind Notts County most of the time.
After the victory over Manchester United, Notts County took off Tottenham on the road and won four consecutive victories.
The team performed well and the players were very relaxed when training.
The Premier League has gone through 27 rounds, and the last 11 rounds are left, which can be regarded as the final sprint stage, and in the competition for the top scorer, the suspense seems to be greater than the suspense of the championship.
The top scorer now is Drogba, the African Elephant King has scored 17 goals;
Villa ranks second in the scorer list after Drogba with 16 goals. Although it seems that the number of goals is far less than the previous two seasons, considering Villa's playing time, it seems that The ball rate is also quite high.
There are also deeper reasons for this. Villa's flexibility in Notts County's tactical system is now slightly less, and it is more like a trend of pure shooter transformation. With the rise of Kaka, Villa sometimes has to stay. Get out of the sprint space, so that you have less room to play!
The result of this is that Villa's scoring rate has dropped, but Kaka's goals have increased. The Brazilian is now also tied for second in the scorer's 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 first two seasons. For the overall strategy, 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, and the impact on the performance is still very large.
Now that Villa has given up a certain amount of space, the more flowering tactics have made Notts County's offense more powerful, but Villa needs to make some sacrifices.
Three players from Notts County occupy the top three scorers, and it seems that they have turned the league's golden boot into an internal competition, and the smell of gunpowder has become much lighter all at once.
Arsenal's striker Henry was probably the only one who had hope of competing for the golden boot. However, Henry was seriously injured this season and hardly played much. Several strikers from Notts County suddenly had no external competitors.
To be fair, now Notts County's penalty kicks are taken in turns by three people. In everyone's words, this is called impartiality.
In fact, Villa has won two Premier League golden boots in a row, and he is not very interested in the three consecutive championships. If his partner can win the golden boots, it is also a good result, so Villa's intention to compete for the golden boots is fundamental. Not thick.
The same is true for Kaka. He is a midfielder who is going to compete with others. It is better to carry forward his style and give it to Drogba!
Drogba's style is destined that he will not be a super striker. His bigger role is to bring a huge tactical advantage to the team. As for his 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 to rank the top scorer with 17 goals in the league. Therefore, the players hope to make Drogba the top scorer. It is the best reward for his contribution. (To be continued.)
