Chapter 403 Yellow Submarine
Many of Notts County's main players did not play in the game against Leicester City. In addition to a week's rest, the players' condition was adjusted very well. Although the match against Marseille did not make them fight high, But still with a strong strength won the opponent to advance to the UEFA Cup round of 16. Hunting?
Notts County, which is at home, set up 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 and Deco played. Klose was well fed.
Notts County, which had a two-goal lead in the first half, has turned the total score into 4:o. Under such circumstances, Loew did not hesitate to replace three absolute main players and rotate others to play.
Although Marseille played several beautiful attacks in the second half and also scored the goal of Notts County, they did not care about this 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 have to be drawn into the national team to compete.
The horrific damage brought to Notts County from the last international match day is not yet fully understood. Although Robben has already started training with the team, he still needs at least to be able to regain his form and have the conditions to play. two weeks.
If half of the Notts County players are out of combat after returning from the national team like last time, Notts County will be really tough in the following games.
Both David and Love are praying that this bad situation will not happen again.
Marseille was gone, and Notts County once again entered the UEFA Cup round of 16 this season as the defending champion. When the players rushed to the national team training grounds the next day, the draw results of the UEFA Cup round of 16 also came out. .
Notts County has not encountered a real giant, such as Inter Milan, such as Barcelona, but the opponent they need to face is not a soft persimmon that anyone can handle.
Yellow submarine Villarreal.
This season can be said to be the beginning of Huang Qian's rise. Riquel Messin, who was on loan from Barcelona, has become the core of the team. Building a tactical system around him has directly improved Villarreal's strength by a lot. , has become a strong man who can threaten Real Madrid and Barcelona, and if David remembers correctly, Huang Qian even broke into the top four of the Champions League next season, and his results were unbelievable.
But now the fans just feel that Villarreal is of good level, but it has not yet reached the point where Notts County is helpless, so everyone is still optimistic that Notts County can reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.

Bad luck did not befall Notts County,
When the players returned from the national team, Loew was extremely fortunate that no players were injured. Although the physical consumption was very high, at least they did not need to be on the injured list!
As a strong team in La Liga, Villarreal has a lot of players who have been transferred to the national team, which means that the two teams are still in the same environment.
Notts County has entered the rhythm of preparing for Villarreal, to such an extent that even in the UEFA Cup, which is slightly lower, no team is here to play soy sauce.
Villarreal's style is very distinctive, adhering to the European Latin style of Spain, with the addition of Riquelme, a top commander, it is even more like a duck to water. If you want to defeat Villarreal, the most important thing is It is to limit Riquelme's swing.
As it happens, Notts County has a midfield defender who is also Riquelme's national team teammate Mascherano.
Although the little brother is not the absolute main force of Notts County, his importance in the team is very important. He has gradually become a nuclear weapon. His sweeping and full-time marking in the midfield can definitely make any offensive player. Players become baby sheep.
There is no doubt that the task of this game is to watch Riquelme die, so that he cannot effectively organize the attack.
For Mascherano, Riquelme can be regarded as his idol. After all, he is 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, the little brother followed behind the elder brother Riquelme like a younger brother, but a few days later he turned into an opponent, and his task was to mark his idol full-time. The little brother expressed that the pressure is very high what.
But this does not mean that he has no confidence, he can have no confidence in his offense, but defense is the guy he uses to eat, how can he have no 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 master of classicism. If you like this, watching him play is a pleasure, but in contrast, Riquelme's speed is his biggest weakness. .
Slow movement is a downside, but not every footballer is like a rabbit, and considering his position and role, it's not deadly.
What really kills people 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 did he not succeed with Barcelona? It is precisely because of this that Barcelona is a giant. If you do not perform at the level of the sky, will the whole team revolve around you?
So dragging down the team's offensive rhythm, Riquelme will naturally not be successful in Barcelona.
But in a team like Villarreal, it is different. He is the absolute core. All players must revolve around him and adapt to his rhythm. In this way, his shortcomings can be covered up. It is also the reason for his success in Huang Qian.
In fact, Notts County is not afraid of the opponent's slow attack. Even if you play more routines and tricks, you can't go to heaven. Notts County's defensive system is not good-looking.
Let the colt hold Riquelme again, and Villarreal's offense will have to be completely paralyzed, and it will not be able to create a threat. Notts County likes such an opponent.
Well, this game is up to Mascherano, his swing directly determines whether Notts County can easily win or have to fight hard.
Loew has prepared a surprise for Villarreal, but I don't know if Villarreal will be grateful to tears.
In fact, David really wants Loew to bring the team to a big score for Villarreal. This Huang Qian is likely to be Notts County's opponent in the Champions League next season. It's definitely a good idea to fight ahead of time. (To be continued.)
