Chapter 403 The Yellow Submarine
Many of Notts County's main players did not play in the game against Leicester City. Coupled with a week's rest, the players have adjusted very well. Although this game against Marseille did not make them high morale, But still relying on its strong strength, it won the opponent and advanced to the top 16 of the UEFA Cup.
Notts County, which sits at home, put on an offensive formation. The control of Alonso and Deco in the midfield gave Notts County a huge advantage throughout the game. Opportunities appeared frequently. At the same time, Villa, who started the game And Klose are well fed.
Notts County, which had already led by two goals in the first half, had turned the total score into 4:0. Under such circumstances, Loew did not hesitate to replace the three absolute main players and rotate others to play.
Although Marseille played several beautiful offenses in the second half and also broke Notts County's goal, they didn't care about it with a big lead.
This is also Loew's helpless move, because after this game, the weekend is an international match day, and the players had to be transferred to the national team to play.
The horrific damage caused to Notts County on the last international match day is still not completely clear. Although Robben has started training with the team, he still needs at least some two weeks.
If half of the Notts County players lose their combat effectiveness after returning from the national team like last time, it will be really difficult for Notts County in the following games.
Both David and Love are praying that this bad situation will not happen again.
After sending off Marseille, Notts County, as the defending champion, once again broke into the top 16 of the UEFA Cup this season, and when the players rushed to the national team training ground the next day, the results of the draw for the top 16 of the UEFA Cup also came out up.
Notts County did not encounter real giants, such as Inter Milan, such as Barcelona, but the opponent they need to face is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone.
Yellow Submarine Villarreal.
This season can be said to be the beginning of the rise of Huang Qian. Riquelme, who was loaned from Barcelona, quickly became the core of the team. Building a tactical system centered on him has directly improved the strength of Villarreal. , has become a strong player who can threaten Real Madrid and Barcelona, and if David remembers correctly, Huang Qian even broke into the top 4 of the Champions League next season, and his results are so good.
But now the fans just feel that Villarreal's level is good, but not enough to make Notts County helpless, so everyone is still optimistic that Notts County can reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.

Bad luck did not come to Notts County. When the players returned from the national team, Loew was very fortunate that no players were injured. Although the physical energy was exhausted, at least they did not need to be included in the injured list!
As a strong team in La Liga, Villarreal has many players who have been transferred to the national team. In other words, the two teams are still in the same environment.
Notts County has entered the rhythm of preparing for Villarreal. To this extent, even in the slightly inferior UEFA Cup, no team is here to play soy sauce.
Villarreal's style is very distinct, adhering to the European Latin style with Spain, with the addition of Riquelme, a top commander, it is even more comfortable. If you want to beat Villarreal, the most important thing is It is to limit Riquelme's performance.
And it just so happens that Notts County has a defensive midfielder and Riquelme's national teammate Mascherano.
Although Xiao Ma is not the absolute main force of Notts County, his importance in the team is of great importance. He has gradually become a nuclear weapon. His sweeping in the midfield and full-time marking can definitely make any offensive player The player becomes a good baby sheep.
There is no doubt that Ma's task in this game is to watch Riquelme die so that he cannot effectively organize the offense.
For Mascherano, Riquelme can be regarded as his idol. After all, he was the absolute superstar of Argentina during this period and the top attacking midfielder in the world. Even if his style is different, it does not hinder him. Adore Riquelme.
A few days ago in the national team, Xiao Ma followed behind his big brother Riquelme like a younger brother. A few days later, he turned into an opponent, and his task was to guard his idol full-time. Xiao Ma expressed a lot of pressure ah.
But this does not mean that he has no confidence. He can have no confidence in his offense, but defense is what he eats, so how can he not have confidence!
Moreover, Riquelme's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. After getting familiar with it, there is still a great chance to limit Riquelme.
Elegant dribbling and freehand passing are the characteristics of this classic master. It is a pleasure to watch him play football if you like this, but in contrast, Riquelme's speed is his biggest weakness .
Slow running speed is a disadvantage, but not every football player is like a rabbit, considering his position and role, this is not fatal.
What is really fatal is that his rhythm is too slow. As long as the ball reaches his feet, the team's rhythm will slow down. This is his biggest weakness.
Why hasn't he been as successful as Barcelona?It is precisely because of this that Barcelona is a giant. If you don't perform at a heaven-defying level, will the whole team revolve around you?
So dragging down the team's offensive rhythm, Riquelme will naturally not succeed in Barcelona.
But in a team like Villarreal, it is different. He is the absolute core, and all players have to revolve around him and adapt to his rhythm. In this way, his shortcomings can be covered up instead. It is also the reason for his success in Huang Qian.
In fact, Notts County is not afraid of the opponent's slow attack. No matter how many tricks you play, you can't go to the sky. Notts County's defensive system is not good-looking.
If Makoto restrains Riquelme, Villarreal's offense will be completely paralyzed, and it will not be able to create threats. Notts County likes such opponents.
Well, this game depends on Mascherano. His performance directly determines whether Notts County can easily win or will fall into a hard fight.
Loew has prepared a surprise for Villarreal, but I don't know if Villarreal will burst into tears with gratitude.
In fact, David really wants Loew to lead the team to give Villarreal a big score. This yellow potential team is likely to be Notts County's opponent in the Champions League next season. It's definitely a good idea to call ahead.
