Of the double midfielders, the one on the left is Radoslav Petrovich. As a midfielder, this Serbian player exists more as an organizer. His defensive ability is not outstanding, and he should even be very poor in the defensive midfielder. However, his passing ability is very good, and he also has good jumping and heading abilities. He is also an excellent long-range shot and is an offensive member of the defensive midfielder combination.

Steven Nzonzi, the defensive member on the right, was one of the members who would win the French championship in the next 18 years. He is still young and has little reputation, but he has already shown his excellent defensive ability. He mainly focuses on interception, relying on anticipation and steals to complete defensive tasks. At the same time, he is 1.96 meters tall and has excellent heading and jumping abilities, as well as very good aerial defense capabilities.

Blackburn's forward combination, the left winger is Peterson. The Norway international is slightly older and his pace is not up to standard as a winger. But just like the Villaredinov I met before, he is very good at long passes and crosses from the wing. He is also Blackburn's free kicker this season. He has scored 3 free kick goals this season..

The right winger is Montenegro's Simon Vukcevic. Although this midfielder was transformed into a winger by Aguirre, because his skills have been finalized, he mostly wanders in the middle on the court, occupying the wing position. Give it to Salgado. Simon's speed is not fast, but his passing and dribbling skills and his talent as a player are all top-notch to the naked eye. He even has a very good long-range shooting ability.

At the forward position, Junior Hoilett started. Junior, a Canadian international, came out of the Blackburn youth academy. He has very fast speed and a strong body, but other than that, he can be said to be useless. He is a forward player with a promising future but currently weak combat effectiveness. Bayer Leverkusen of the Bundesliga has taken a fancy to him, and he will go to the Bundesliga next season.

The reason is that his contract expired in June this year, but Blackburn did not want to renew it. He is not suitable for Blackburn's long-passing tactics. He started this game because Nigeria international Yakubu suffered an injury and was unable to play. Yakub is very suitable for long passes. His strong body, excellent goal control and header ability allow him to receive long passes and score into the opponent's goal.

In the home team's locker room, Zhou Xu laid out targeted tactics

"For Blackburn, the most important thing is his two wings. They have excellent long-range shooting ability. Try to let them use their non-dominant foot to touch the ball as much as possible when defending. Additionally, they must be pressed aggressively in order to cope with their excellent passing ability. Petrovic in the defensive midfield position must also be targeted as his passing ability is also very threatening.

Their main tactic is long passes and lobs. Midfielders can press forward to create pressure or participate in wing defense to reduce pressure on their teammates. Forward Junior, he only has speed. For him, just stay in position and defend. In addition, the opponent's three central defenders all have strong header capabilities. Stones intercepts the ball from behind, and Maguire intercepts from the front."

In the 3rd minute of the game, Blackburn got a free kick from the wing. Olson took it out, and Dann's header from the back slightly missed the near post.

The two teams seemed to be playing a turn-based game. First, Blackburn took the ball. A long pass was thrown into the penalty area, and then the opportunity was missed.

Then Notts County advanced from the center and was resolved by Blackburn's defense.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Pogba advanced from the center and scored the ball. Seat B suddenly appeared to receive the ball. The ball was unmarked, and he easily sent a wonderful through ball. Vardy received the ball but was blocked by Nelson. He could only hit the goal with his non-dominant left foot and missed the scoring opportunity. In the

40th minute of the game, Notts. County got an excellent opportunity. After receiving the ball from the wing, Mane made a fake move and swayed the senior Salgado, and then passed the ball in an inverted triangle. No one touched the ball at the front point, and he inserted it at the back point.

In the 44th minute of the game, Notts County took the lead in scoring.

The previous series of passes were meaningless. Blackburn players finally grabbed the ball and passed back to defender Dann. En decided to kick the ball. Maybe it was because the Mido Lane stadium was sprinkled with water today, or maybe the shoes he wore today were a little slippery. In short, Dane made a mistake in passing the ball, and he passed it directly to Vardy.

In fact, Vardy had done it before.

The offense did not leave the penalty area, and he was even in an offside position, but this was Dann's pass.

Vardy even pushed the goal into the empty goal.

The goalkeeper did not expect Dann to make a super, super, huge, low-level mistake.

This was like buying.

The ball was not even advanced, Vardy scored as soon as he raised his foot, and Notts County led 1:0.

An own goal assist from Dane ended the first half with a dramatic effect.

1:0 Back to the locker room.

Zhou Xu felt that there was nothing to adjust to Blackburn's tactics, because Blackburn's starting forward was so happy. In the 50th minute of the game, Junior failed to score. The fourth opportunity wasted in this game.

However, I have to admit that Blackburn's other players are still very good. In the 56th minute of the game, Peterson stole the ball in the frontcourt, and then he handed it to Junior, and then Junior. Orr flew away.

Zhou Xu started to let the players return to defense.

He had to admit that Blackburn's defense was really strong.

Except for the goal that was almost an own goal, it was difficult for Notts County to find it in the penalty area.

Opportunities, shots were basically long shots from outside the penalty area.

In the 58th minute of the game, Robertson accurately found Mane with a long pass.

Mane once again trained the senior Salgado, and a fake move told him that it was time to retire.

After passing the ball into the penalty area, Salah's volley was blocked, and Vardy scored with a second shot.

Unfortunately, the linesman raised the flag and Robertson was offside when he passed Mane.

In the

64th minute of the game, Notts County scored again. The ball. It was still Vardy, but he still didn't come back after attacking. Stones' instep shot from outside the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper. Unexpectedly, Vardy ambushed in the penalty area and scored. Notts County couldn't bear it and led 2:0. Niall was finally replaced, and Jason Roberts, who was still explosive at the age of 34, came on as a substitute.

Unfortunately, this substitution was a bit late. Notts County finally defeated Blackburn 2-0 at home and successfully advanced to the FA Cup semi-finals..

In the semi-finals of the FA Cup, apart from Notts County, West Ham United defeated Chelsea 2:0 in overtime, Manchester City easily defeated Southampton 3:0, and Tottenham defeated Crawley Town 3:1.

The draw for the FA Cup semi-finals was still with Sheringham, and the opponent he drew for Notts County was Manchester City.
