Chapter 385
The peak battle between Manchester United and Notts County felt like an anticlimactic pig. There was a lot of noise before the game, as if this was a world war, comparable to the peak match of the World Cup final, and countless fans looked forward to it.
But who would have imagined that in the middle of the game, the excitement of the game will not be seen. This is not a classic battle of the century. It is simply a club's main lineup and substitute lineup doing offensive and defensive drills on the training ground!
Manchester United's style of play in this game has really been criticized by too many people. The majestic Premier League giants Manchester United actually faced a newly promoted team, scaring the whole game to stick to the half court and the penalty area, without even the slightest aggressiveness , Where is the glory and temperament of your wealthy family?
You have been bloodbathed in the first round of confrontation!He didn't want to take revenge, but was afraid of losing the game and didn't dare to attack. He shrank like a turtle, so he wanted to touch the bottom line!
This kind of game is naturally not exciting. Notts County attacked decently, but they couldn't hold back Manchester United. They really blocked their holes. As a result, they didn't score a single goal in the whole game, and even Notts County was criticized to a certain extent.
There are even some people who always like to think that things are going to be bad. They think that this game is a match-fixing by two teams, and it is an absurd game controlled by a gambling syndicate. Otherwise, how could such a peak duel have such a process and result!
Regardless of scolding or scolding, although most fans can't see it, they can still understand Manchester United's approach. Don't look at Manchester United's recent winning streak, but the opponents they defeated are not any good teams. In terms of pure strength, the turbulent Manchester United has been opened up by stable teams like Arsenal and Notts County, and has lost hope of winning the championship.
Being able to get a draw from the league leader is undoubtedly a very good result for Manchester United. If they really overreacted and played against Notts County in the away game, they might not know how they died. The lesson of one round is not profound enough, is it?
At least one draw can be guaranteed, it's better than being thrown farther away!
So Manchester United will still go its own way and will not be affected in the slightest!
As for Notts County, although they were not reconciled, since Arsenal and Chelsea were also unexpectedly tied, and the points gap was not narrowed, it was an acceptable result, so the game passed like this.
The tight schedule also left Notts County with no time to sigh about this game, and the next opponent was not deliberately let Notts County take care of it. It was the only giant Liverpool that Notts County had not met this season.
Thinking of this game, David suddenly had a wonderful idea, so that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
If memory serves me correctly, next season Liverpool will stage the night of Istanbul that shocked the whole world in the Champions League final, winning the 04-05 UEFA Champions League.
So let's not mention whether Notts County won the Champions League next season by participating in the Champions League. 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!
In this season in history, Liverpool won a place in the Champions League qualifying round after Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in the Premier League standings. The next season, they defeated the Austrian champion Graz in the qualifying round to squeeze into the Champions League group stage .
But judging from the current situation of Liverpool, it is very difficult to qualify for the Champions League.
Because of the emergence of Notts County's dark horse, the Premier League standings are another scene. Even Arsenal, who were unbeaten in 49 games in later generations, was suppressed by Notts County and did not have much temper. After closely following Arsenal, these four clubs are the first team in the standings and are the favorites to qualify for the Champions League next season.
And Liverpool is now behind Manchester United by as much as 5 points, and there is a gap of more than 10 points with Notts County. Let alone wanting to win the league, it is more difficult to surpass Manchester United and enter the Champions League.
Could it be that the emergence of Notts County may not only kick Liverpool's Champions League champion away, but even the Red Army's qualification to participate in the Champions League will be taken away?
David said that he really didn't have such an idea!
However, the rise of the Premier League is already the general trend. The original top four contend for supremacy, plus Notts County, a powerhouse that has never appeared in history, and five clubs compete for four tickets to the Champions League. One of the giants is destined to be eliminated and must play in the UEFA Cup , extremely cruel.
Think about the later local tycoon Manchester City, oh my God, four out of six, this still makes the Premier League giants live!
It is conceivable that the Premier League, which is already very popular in the league, will be sought after. I am afraid that the other four major leagues may not be able to catch up!
If there is no major change in history, Benitez, who has achieved extraordinary results in Valencia next season, will come to Anfield, but the key is that if the current coach Houllier digs too much hole, leading to Liverpool next season. If you can't even participate in the Champions League, then Benitez doesn't even have the foundation to lead Liverpool to win the fifth Champions League trophy in the club's history. What a sad reminder!
In fact, Benitez's Liverpool did not have particularly outstanding results in the Premier League. To do more is to guarantee a place in the Champions League. If he hadn't won the Champions League trophy in his first season, Benitez would have been fired for a long time. Squid is gone.
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 him whether Liverpool can enter the Champions League? Anyway, Notts County's goal next season must be the Champions League champion. Even if Liverpool has a place in the Champions League ,so what!
However, the first round match against Liverpool in the league this season still makes David more worried. The team has fought hard and the physical condition is not ideal, and there is still the FA Cup to play, which makes countless people envious. The depth of the lineup is already stretched at this time.
From an outside point of view, Notts County, whose state is not ideal, may have their first defeat of the season against Liverpool. What Arsenal and Manchester United failed to do, it is very likely that Liverpool can do it. The time and place are right. People, like Notts County, are not accounted for!
However, Liverpool coach Houllier dare not be careless. You must know that Liverpool now bears the title of a giant, but when it comes to real strength, I am afraid that there is a certain gap with the top clubs in the standings. He will not be like the fans. With such blind optimism, even Manchester United had to take the initiative to take the initiative in the game against Notts County. If Liverpool really overreached, then it is very likely that they will usher in a disastrous defeat.
