At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

"It looked like the first half was going to end like this. Pogba got the ball and faced a three-man double-team. He escaped successfully! He took himself and the ball out of the three-man double-team and passed through. Salah received the ball and made it one-on-one. Fielding attacked, fell to the ground to block, and Salah shot. The Derby County players could only watch the ball fly into the goal. At the last moment of the first half, Notts County scored another goal and led 2:0."

This goal was so crucial. It was the last moment of the first half. Obviously, Derby County's players were a little collapsed. They really didn't expect that they would steal it almost half the time. Pogba in the game had just passed them all.

Zhou Xu was shouting crazily, and Salah spread his arms to dominate the world.

On the home team's coaching bench, Keane looked livid. In the second half, he had only two options: give up or continue to strengthen the attack.

His players were a little crestfallen. If the half-time adjustment was not good, Notts County would have to beat Derby County to advance to the next round.

The first half ended with a score of 2:0. In the visiting team's locker room, Zhou Xu did not make any additional tactical arrangements. He just asked Maguire and Pogba, who had received yellow cards, to be careful with their movements.

At the beginning of the second half, Derby County launched a crazy offensive. Zhou Xu looked at Keane in the home team's coaching bench, who was directing his players.

This kind of pressing can indeed put a lot of pressure on Notts County, but how long can Derby County players who have already run for half a game press?

" At the beginning of the second half, Derby County clearly strengthened their offensive again. But Chris Maguire, he lost the ball, Robertson pushed forward with the ball and Notts County counterattacked. Robertson passes to Mane, he has two defenders beside him, short pass, Pogba comes close to receive the ball, long pass, beautiful.

Salah, he is chasing the ball, and goalkeeper Fielding is also attacking. Salah scored, he got the ball in front of the goalkeeper. Derby County seems to have lost its momentum. With Notts County's sharp counterattack, will Derby County still dare to press hard?"

The few Notts County fans chanted Salah's name after the victory. Many Derby County fans seemed to have left the game early. Keane also sat back on the coaching bench dejectedly. The suspense of this game It seems that only Notts County can still score goals?

"Get him out!" The fans were yelling crazily. They were Notts County fans. In the penalty area, Robertson was tackled by Polish midfielder Tomaszczuk, who had just come on as a substitute. He fell to the ground in pain. The referee signaled the team doctor to come in.

Zhou Xu immediately made a substitution, with B席 replacing Robertson as the left back.

The team doctor was still assessing Robertson's injury. Zhou Xu gestured for the players to shrink their defense and reduce their offense.

Derby County is now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. At home, the opponent only got a yellow card for that terrible move. Zhou Xu knew that this game could not be a head-on confrontation.

Although the Notts County players were puzzled, they still shrank their defense.

Seeing that Notts County no longer pressed the attack, Derby County's fouls were indeed restrained.

"Oh shit."Zhou Xu spat fiercely,"This kind of action is not a straight hit. The referee can retire."Of course, Zhou Xu could only say this in his heart. If he said it out loud, the referee would have to give him a topaz card or even a ruby card.

Fortunately, not long after Robertson left the field, the team doctor told Zhou Xu that Robertson It was just a minor scratch and he recovered within a day or two, but he was relieved, but he didn't let Notts County continue to attack. So except for Maguire's header in the 77th minute, the game was very dull. It's over.

In the end, Notts County defeated Derby County from the English Championship 4-0 and advanced to the fourth round of the League Cup.

However, it is worth noting that this game was not one-sided as usual, and Derby County also had it. The opportunity threatened Notts County's goal, but after conceding two goals in the first half, they surrendered. They won the game on November 8, and the draw for the fourth round of the League Cup came two days later on the 10th.

There are many noteworthy games in this round.

For example, Arsenal from the Premier League lost an unexpected penalty kick to Preston in the English Premier League, because Arsenal are currently in the Premier League championship. They are currently ranked first, but Chelsea is close behind. After that, they were watching. There was no way, Professor Wenger strategically gave up the League Cup, and Arsenal only played a few rotation players, and more were children from the youth team.

The two teams drew 0:0 in regular time, and the penalty shootout took place. Preston narrowly defeated Arsenal to advance. Arsenal was already fighting on four fronts. They were competing for the Premier League title and the Europa League. Even Wenger didn't say he would give up on the FA Cup, so the relatively less important League Cup was Was given up by Wenger.

Wigan Athletic, who was also in the Premier League, also lost to Charlton Athletic in the English Premier League. However, compared to Arsenal, who were competing for the championship, Wigan Athletic, who was relegated, was not as upset as Arsenal.

On November 10, the fourth round of the League Cup was drawn. The players gathered in the club and looked at the TV in front of them.

The first one to be drawn was Newcastle in the Premier League, whose opponent was 3:1. Tottenham defeated Liverpool.

Coventry and Hull City were drawn together. These are Zhou Xu's two ideal opponents. They are both mid-table teams in the English Championship.

The next group is also the same league opponent in the English Championship, Leeds United and Park. Southampton and Burnley, Stoke City and Chelsea are also in the same league. Zhou

Xu has a good feeling that

Charlton Athletic will challenge Everton.

Leicester City and Peterborough United won the championship. Sure enough, when Preston was drawn, Zhou Xu's premonition came true. There were 16 teams in total, and 7 of the 8 games were against opponents in the same league. It's hard to imagine. What's wrong with the English Football League?

More importantly, this means that there are only three Premier League teams in the quarter-finals, and the previous second and third rounds also consumed a lot of Premier League teams. Horrible thoughts appeared in Zhou Xu's mind.

He shook his head and shook off the unrealistic thoughts. Zhou Xu joined the cheers of

Preston. Zhou Xu had previously defeated the opponent 7:1 at home. , this draw result can be said that the Football Association directly sent Notts County into the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Zhou Xu and the players are already inspecting the next opponent. The winner of the League Cup can participate in the UEFA Europa League. This is not about popping champagne at half-time.

Notts County is popping champagne before the game. After all, with Notts County's dominance in League One, it is difficult for any team to be able to withstand Notts County's two wings.
