Chapter 385 The Red Army, who may miss the Champions League

? The battle between Manchester United and Notts County was a bit of an anticlimactic. There was a lot of quarrel before the game, as if it was a world war, comparable to the peak matchup of the World Cup finals, which made countless fans look forward to it. ? arts

But who would have imagined that, when it comes to the game, you can't see the excitement of the game. What kind of classic battle of the century is this? It's simply a club's main lineup and substitute lineup doing offensive and defensive drills on the training ground!

Manchester United's play in this game has really been criticized by too many people. The dignified giant Manchester United actually faced a newly-promoted horse and was so frightened that they stayed in the semi-penalty area for the whole game, and they didn't even make a single point. Where is the glory and temperament of your giants?

In the first round of confrontation, you have been bloodbathed, but you don't want to take revenge, but you are afraid to attack because you are afraid of losing.

This kind of game is naturally not exciting. Notts County attacked in a decent manner, but Manchester United couldn't hold back the fact that they were blocked by people. As a result, they did not score a single goal in the whole game. Even Notts County was criticized to a certain extent.

Even some people who always like to think bad things about this game think that this game is two teams playing match-fixing, an absurd game controlled by a gambling group, otherwise how could such a process and result occur in such a galloping duel!

Regardless of the scolding, most fans can't see it, but they can still understand Manchester United's approach. Don't look at Manchester United's recent streak of victories, but the opponents they defeated are not any good teams. In fact , In terms of strength alone, Manchester United, which is in shock, has been left behind by stable teams like Arsenal and Notts County, and has lost hope of winning the championship.

It is undoubtedly a very good result for Manchester United to be able to get the first round from the league leaders. If they really overestimate their ability to fight against Notts County, they may not know how they died. One round of lessons is not deep enough, right?

At least One Chen Bureau can guarantee that it is better than being left farther away!

So Manchester United is still going its own way and is not affected at all!

For Notts County, although they are not reconciled, since Arsenal and Chelsea have also drawn unexpectedly, the points gap has not been narrowed, which is also an acceptable result, so this game is over.

The tense schedule also gave Notts County no time to sigh about this game, and the next opponent was not deliberately manipulated by Notts County. It was the only giant Liverpool that Notts County had yet to meet this season.

Thinking of this game, David suddenly had a strange thought, so that he didn't recover for a long time.

If the memory is not wrong, next season Liverpool will stage an Istanbul night in the Champions League final that will shock the whole world.

win the Champions League this season.

So, leaving aside whether Notts County will win 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 qualify for the Champions League next season!

In this season in history, after finishing Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in the English standings, Liverpool got a place in the Champions League qualifying round. Next season, they beat the Austrian champion Graz in the qualifying round to squeeze into the Champions League virtual match. .

But according to the current situation of Liverpool, it is very difficult to qualify for the Champions League.

Because the dark horse of Notts County was born, the English standings are another scene. Even the undefeated 49-game Arsenal of later generations was suppressed by Notts County and did not have much temper. Chelsea and Manchester United also In close pursuit of Arsenal, these four clubs are the first team in the standings and are the favorites to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Liverpool is now five points behind Manchester United, and there is a 10-point gap with Notts County. Let alone winning the league, it is more difficult than Manchester United to enter the Champions League.

Could the emergence of Notts County not only have to kick Liverpool's Champions League title, but even the Red Army's qualification to participate in the Champions League will be taken away?

David said that he really had no such idea!

But Youqi has become the general trend. Originally, the top four competed for the top, plus Notts County, a strong player that had not appeared in history, five clubs competed for four Champions League tickets. , cruel.

Think about the local tyrants Manchester City later, oh my god, Liu Ya, this will not let the British giants live!

It can be imagined to what extent Yinghui, which was originally very popular in the league atmosphere, may not be able to catch up with the other four major leagues combined!

If history does not change drastically, Benitez, who has achieved great results in Valencia next season, will come to Anfield next season, but the key is that if the current boss Houllier digs too big a hole, Liverpool will not be able to make a big difference next season. If you can't participate in the Champions League, then Benitez even led Liverpool to win the fifth Champions League trophy in the history of the club without Ji alcohol, what a sad reminder!

In fact, Benitez's Liverpool did not have particularly good results in the UK. To do more is to guarantee a place in the Champions League. If there is no Champions League trophy in his first season in office, Benitez has long been fired. Squid out.

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 if Liverpool won the Champions League? Anyway, the goal of Notts County next season must be the Champions League title, even if Liverpool have a place in the Champions League. ,so what!

However, the first-round match against Liverpool in the league this season is still worrying for David. The team has fought repeatedly, and their physical fitness is not ideal. Moreover, there is an FA Cup to play in the future. The depth of the lineup has also been stretched at this time.

From an outside point of view, Notts County, which is not in ideal state, may lose the season in the game against Liverpool. What Arsenal and Manchester United have not done, it is very likely that Liverpool can do it. And, Notts County did not take over!

However, Liverpool coach Houllier does not dare to be careless. You must know that Liverpool is now empty of the name of a giant, but when it comes to real strength, I am afraid 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 in the game against Notts County. If Liverpool were really beyond their control, then it is very likely to usher in a fiasco. (To be continued.)
