Chapter 233 Advance to the top 4

After beating Liverpool at home, Notts County played another League One away game at the weekend, and the players who started in this league may miss out on the second-leg clash with Liverpool in the middle of next week.

Although the media were all reminiscing about the excitement of the first round and predicting the second round, no one paid attention to this League One game in Notts County.

But for Notts County fans, this game is extremely important.

As long as they win this game, Notts County will lock the top two in the league seven rounds ahead of schedule and get a place to directly upgrade to the Premier League.

Therefore, nearly 5,000 fans followed the team to the away game, directly turning the opponent's home court into Notts County's home court.

The opponent is very annoying. It was originally an irrelevant league, but now it has become like this. Looking at the fans in the stands wearing Notts County zebra jerseys, it is almost like an away game.

No way, who told Notts County to be too strong in League One!

Well, don't come back next season!

League One really can't stand you so hoo-hoo!

The opponent's non-resistance policy allowed Notts County to easily win the game even if they sent a third-line lineup, locking in the promotion spot seven rounds in advance.

After the game, the Notts County fans didn't leave the stadium, and sang in the opponent's stand to celebrate the team's upgrade. I am afraid that the excitement is not comparable to the pursuit of a goddess.

You know, the last time Notts County stayed in the top flight was 20 years ago, which is a whole generation.

In the end, the staff of the rival club couldn't stand it anymore and told the stadium to drive people out, otherwise Notts County could have a celebration here!

Many media and fans don't think there is anything to celebrate about this. After all, Notts County has always had a huge lead in the league. The upgrade is only a matter of time and should have been prepared.

But you must know that celebrating the upgrade is one aspect. In addition, to ensure that after the upgrade, Notts County can turn its attention to the UEFA Cup and FA Cup without any worries. These two competitions will become the top priority.

After this league, Notts County did not return to Notts County at all, but went directly to Liverpool to prepare for the second round.

The score in the first leg is actually not safe,

Especially when facing Liverpool, as long as the Red Army can play Notts County 2-0 at Anfield, Notts County will have to go home directly.

The Anfield Stadium can accommodate around 45,000 fans. Although it is not as good as Manchester United and other teams, the terrifying atmosphere of Anfield Stadium ranks among the best in England. Liverpool's combat effectiveness at Anfield must not be underestimated.

Even exaggerating a little joke, at Anfield, Liverpool can bring their own 1:0 halo.

So Notts County is extremely cautious.

They couldn't help being careless. Liverpool's two goals in the second half of the first round were like sharp knives stabbed in their hearts.

Moreover, Mascherano and Meireles, who made mistakes in the first game, have been suspended by Loew, and this game cannot be played at all. Such a lesson is not without pain.

Even if the team loses and is eliminated, Loew is definitely not used to the problem.

Liverpool's coach was still constantly brushing his presence before the game, frequently saying that Notts County would definitely make mistakes at Anfield, and the Red Army must be the final promotion. confidence.

Although the Istanbul night in this world has not yet happened, Liverpool has their own pride. Even if they are behind in the away game, they will definitely fight back when they return to the home court. They will use their own actions to defend the glory of the giants.

Compared with Liverpool's high profile, Notts County is only training step by step in Liverpool, as if it is not them who are about to play a key game.

In Loew's view, it's really unnecessary to talk at this time. With that kung fu and energy, it's better to perfect the tactical routine.

After the match at Anfield, the terrifying aura of the Red Army fans brought some trouble to Notts County, but after gradually getting used to this environment, Notts County gradually began to improve.

Notts County did not choose conservative tactics in this game. Loew's strategy was to score goals as soon as possible. As long as Notts County scored one, Liverpool would have to score three to eliminate Notts County. One point, I'm afraid it's not easy.

Liverpool, who lost in the first round, are even more unreasonable and conservative. They are still behind in their own home court. Don't attack and wait to die!

So, the confrontation war appeared again.

And the game went like this - Liverpool scored one, Notts County pulled one back; Liverpool scored another, Notts County pulled another...

In the end, Notts County equalized the score three times in a row in the away game, tied the powerful Liverpool with a score of 3:3, eliminated the opponent and advanced to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

Compared with the first round, Notts County scored one less goal and Liverpool scored one more goal. It seems that this is the embodiment of the real strength of the two sides. However, despite the tie, Liverpool were eliminated.

After the game, there were no reporters to tease Houllier, because after the press conference, there were rumors that Houllier was about to be fired.

Under his guidance, Liverpool lost the competitiveness of the Premier League title early this season, were eliminated from the Champions League group stage, and were blocked from the semi-finals by Notts County after entering the UEFA Cup. It was a sad season.

But David knows that Liverpool will soon usher in a relatively correct manager, Rafael Benister.

Although he did not bring a Premier League trophy to Liverpool in his previous life, he brought the Big Ear Cup back to Liverpool in the 2004-05 season.

With Liverpool's lineup, Bei's achievements can already be called great.

However, David is reborn, and Notts County will enter the Premier League next season, so Liverpool may not have so many opportunities.

In any case, Notts County eliminated Liverpool, so there are only five important games left in the season.

FA Cup semi-final and final, UEFA Cup two-leg semi-final and final, as long as Notts County get through these five games, then this season is a perfect season for Notts County, they have achieved all their goals .

But before the miracle, Notts County still needs a relatively important league.

In the 40th round, against Gillingham at home, if Notts County wins the game, Notts County will win the League One championship six rounds ahead of schedule. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for or enter the URL:
