Liverpool fans are very generous, they did not criticize the team's poor record too much, they are still at Anfield Stadium, singing that you will never go alone.

But Benitez is a highly professional coach. The run-in period may be the only way for the team to become stronger. He can't stand his team to complete a season so ineffective.

Notts County is now ranked first in the Premier League, and Benitez’s Liverpool are not far from the relegation zone, but he still wants to try his best in this game, so the Spaniard sent what he could. All the main force.

Goalkeeper Dudek is still the most reliable person. The team's No. 2 and No. 3 goalkeepers are young players who have just come from Leeds. They cannot compete with Dudek in experience.

The four defenders are also candidates selected by Benitez after a long investigation. Finnan and Traore are left and right. The central defender combination of Carragher and Hypia is the most assured of Benitez.

Because Notts County has a strong midfield control and they have multiple players in the tenth position, Benitez chose a four-five-one formation in this game and put two midfielders in the midfield.

On the right is former Barcelona player Luis Garcia, the middle three are captain Gerrard, Salifdio and Harman, and the left midfielder is Harry Cowell from Leeds United.

The top single striker is from Real Madrid, Fernando Morientes.

The Spanish forward’s jersey sales are currently second only to Gerrard and Carragher, ranking third in the Liverpool team, which is not easy for a new player.

In the original history, the forward who was depressed at Real Madrid would not leave Real Madrid until the winter transfer window. Wei Xun also wondered why the Spaniard joined Liverpool half a season earlier.

Maybe this is the butterfly effect?

Reina and Aveiroa came to Liverpool ahead of schedule. The midfielder Xavi Alonso, who was supposed to join Liverpool this summer, is now standing on the opposite side of Liverpool wearing the Notts County jersey.

This world has deviated more and more from the football world in Wei Xun's memory. Fortunately, Notts County has stepped into formality.

For this game, Guardiola obviously made a lot of plans, Eric Tyne Hage and the old Mertesacker have made important contributions.

The technicalization and Spanishization of the Benitez team was expected by Guardiola, so if you want to beat Liverpool, you must make them often strong.

At the forward line, Didier Droba started without a doubt, with Ronaldinho on the left and Dutchman Oviemas on the right.

In terms of midfield, Notts County is still a third midfielder, but it feels awkward to look at it. The combination of Harvey Alonso, Edgar Davis and Yaya Toure is better on defense than offense.

The four defenders are also good at defensively. The two full-backs on the left and right are Fabio Grosso and Lichsteiner. The combination of central defenders is still Carvalho and Lucio. After a few games, their cooperation It's already very tacit.

Originally, Guardiola wanted Benjamin Foster to be the starter of the game, but the Englishman stabbed his finger during the pre-match training. The Dutch veteran could only put on his gloves again and stood in the promise. In front of Ibaraki County.

"Woo..."

Benjamin Foster was naturally very sad. After Georgia bandaged his finger, the boy sat on the bench so depressed, tears falling down.

"My life, why is it so bitter..."

As the team's backup goalkeeper, there is no cup to play in the past few months, so naturally there is no chance to play.

Finally the coach thought of you and wanted you to start in the league, but you didn't seize this opportunity.

Benjamin Foster wanted to show himself so much that after learning that he was included in the starting list, he worked so hard during training that he accidentally poked his finger.

"It's all fate, all fate, Benjamin, it's okay, I and Frank are with you, don't we both have no starters? Cristiano is in such a good state, don't you have to play as a substitute?"

Robben's comfort is fairly reliable. At least this reason is that these people on the bench are more convinced. If you play on the bench, you can play on the bench. The coach has the arrangement of the coach.

In the big family of Notts County, everyone can contribute to the club. There is no need to fight for it deliberately. You only need to show your good condition during training, and the coach will naturally see it.

"The midfielder must pay attention to control, even if it is a foul, don't let them organize the offense, especially to keep an eye on their captain. That is a difficult role!"

"Understand, coach, I will watch him personally!"

Wearing a pair of sports glasses and his hair cleanly shaved, Edgar Davis looked more fierce than before, like a released prisoner.

The Dutch veteran volunteered to stare at Steve Gerrard, which relieved both Yaya Toure and Xavi Alonso.

"Big Brother is Big Brother, he has a responsibility!"

Harvey Alonso couldn't help but tout, Davis's expression looked extremely useful.

He himself is the big brother of the Dutch gang, and now there is a Spanish player who also recognizes his eldest brother status, which is a very good signal for strengthening the power of the Dutch gang.

Although Yaya Toure is tall and strong and has good skills, Guardiola always feels a little worried to let him stare at Gerrard. Let Edgar Davis stare at him, and Guardiola feels more relieved. Up.

Notts County’s strategy here is to play steadily, while on Liverpool’s side, Benitez emphasized the need for players to attack and strive to score a goal in the first fifteen minutes.

The Liverpool players have implemented Benitez's tactical arrangement very well, passing the ball quickly and shooting at the opportunity has become the instinctive reaction of the Reds players.

In the second minute of the opening, former Leeds United player Harry Cowell broke through Fabio Grosso’s defense and passed diagonally to the penalty area from the right. Morientes suddenly started from behind Notts County defender Lucio and volleyed. The shot is high.

"call……"

"Wow..."

The Red Army fans first expressed their regrets, and then they gave continuous applause to the hard-working Liverpool players.

But Benitez is still very rigorous, with his arms around his chest, his thoughtful look also affects the hearts of Liverpool fans.

Five minutes later, Oviemas and Ronaldinho’s left wing was broken again. Harry Cowell and Steve Finnan played a two-over-two match, and the latter sent an inverted triangle back pass. He fell directly off the court.

With the friction of the turf, Fennan brake finished the car, stood up with the billboard on the sidelines, and stared closely at the direction of the ball flying.

Steven Gerrard, wearing the captain's armband, made a strong push from the penalty spot. Many Liverpool fans stood up, feeling that the goal was about to be scored.

"what……"

Van der Sar could not touch the ball, but Notts County central defender Lucio did not give up, he yelled and sent his body directly out.

"Lucio is using his body to block Gerrard's shots. Can people still have the ball fast? But this stubborn Brazilian doesn't believe in evil, he did it! He is the hero of Notts County!"

The narrator spoke highly of Lucio’s feat of using his body to block the shot. It can be expected that the photos of Lucio using his body to block the gun’s eye will definitely appear in major English sports media after the game. Board surface.

"Lucio!"

"Lucio!"

The voices of more than 800 Notts County fans could not make any waves at the huge Anfield Stadium, but if Liverpool fans also echo the Notts County fans, then these shouts are clearly visible.

After winning Liverpool's opening three tactics, the game also entered fifteen minutes later, the powerful midfielder of Notts County, under the blessing of strangling tactics, began to let the Magpies gradually grasp the advantage.

The Brazilian players gave up their lives, and the Dutch players were not to be outdone. They must show their faces!

The veteran Ovimas's series of dribbling was dazzling, and after finding the opportunity, Ovimas took a long shot from the outside.

The ball hit the Liverpool central defender Carragher firmly. Drogba grabbed the front and stood up. After taking the ball at two o'clock, it was given to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho’s shot was blocked by Dudek. Out of the bottom line.

Corner kick!

The first corner of the game.

"We see that Ronaldinho is still raising one arm. As for Notts County's corner kick, what direction will they take this time, and what kind of tactics will they play? I think only Notts County players and coaches are talented. It will be clear."

"Yes, according to our statistics, in the previous games of Notts County, there have been at least eight different kinds of cooperation..."

The narrators are very familiar with things that Benitez and Liverpool players can't help but know, and Benitez has arranged for defense at several points that are often open in Notts County.

This time, Notts County's corner kick passed to the penalty spot, Drogba forwarded the screen and the Brazilian defender Lucio's header missed the goal slightly.

Not long after, Didier Droba took the initiative to pull to the side to meet him. Seeing that there was no good chance to pass the ball, the Ivorian quickly advanced on the right and then struck across the middle of the penalty area.

"Fuck! It's another pass like a shot!"

Although Ribery's was dumbfounding, the players on the Notts County bench couldn't help but laugh. Drogba's pass would not be half-life if he used his chest to pass the ball.

Xavi Alonso appeared in the middle of the penalty zone in time. He didn't choose to stop the ball, but went directly to the goal. The selection of Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek was very important. His half-step move in advance allowed him to successfully shoot this foot. Save.

Under the strong interference of Yaya Toure and Edgar Davis, Liverpool's quick counterattack did not come out, and Gerrard lost the ball under Edgar Davis's defense.

Xavi Alonso quickly delivered the ball to the foot of Ovimas on the right. The Dutch veteran raised his eyes and glanced at Finnan who was defending him:

"Have a chance, **** him!"

Ovimas simply buckled all the way to the end and passed to the penalty area. Didierdroba's header hit the crossbar and bounced off the court.

"Fak!"

Drogba exploded casually and voluntarily withdrew from the penalty area. He focused on Carragher who was about to catch the goal kick. Notts County's defense started with him.

Grabbing goalkeepers, defenders, arrogant and unreasonable collisions with fat Ivorians are exceptionally satisfied. Football is not on the body, so can it be called a man's sport?

The whole pair of mother guns was disgusting.

In the thirty-sixth minute of the first half of the game, Harry Cowell and Gerrard's consecutive kicks opened the space, the Reds stopped the ball and knocked back, Morientes inserted a rub shot I chose a good angle.

Van der Sar was quite prepared and punched the ball out of the danger zone with a single punch. Carvalho followed and made a clearance, no matter where the ball flew.

In the last five minutes of the first half of the game, Harry Cowell launched Liverpool’s most threatening attack in the first half. The Australian picked a pass to the penalty area, Morientes flew a wonderful header, and Gerrard made a volley. Break!

Liverpool scored the first goal at Anfield, leading the league leader Notts County one to zero!

The scene again remembered the singing that you would never walk alone, Benitez just threw a fist to celebrate after scoring, and did not expose his excitement to everyone.
