At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

"Derby County, the most noteworthy member of the team must be Owen. It's hard to imagine that he would choose to join a British Championship team." Laura was analyzing Notts County's next opponent with Zhou Xu.

"Maybe it's because of me, I've also been in contact with Owen, and obviously Derby County promised Owen a starting playing time."Zhou Xu said that Owen became a free agent after the end of last season. Originally, he would join Stoke City, currently in the Premier League, in September and score his 163rd Premier League goal in 8 games.

But as Zhou Xu After the English Championship team approached Owen to discuss joining, many English Championship teams found that Owen did not seem to resist joining the English Championship team. Derby County stood out among the teams.

"Derby County mainly plays the 442 tactic. The good news is that the backbone of the defense, Jason Schakel, is unable to play due to injury. The defensive ability of this English central defender is very outstanding. His absence will lower Derby County's defense line to a higher level. Derby County has 1 win and 3 draws in 4 British Championship games and remains unbeaten. Under Keane's coaching, Derby County first focuses on defense and then waits for opportunities to attack."

This game is still at Notts County's home court.

In the starting lineup, the goalkeeper is still Alisson. In the defense, Robertson, who is almost full duty, takes a rest, left back Joe Gomez starts, and the center back combination of Stones and Dale, right Defender Zhou Xu started Maguireman.

The midfield duo Kanter took a rest, and the midfield duo was Pogba and Wang Chu.

The front three remained unchanged. Salah in the locker room.

"Derby County's double forwards in 442 tactics, Jamie Ward and Owen, are both relatively fast players. The opponent's main offensive method is to hit the ball behind them. The defense must increase coordination and create offside situations for the opponent's forwards. The midfielder must also increase the intensity of pressing and keep an eye on the opponent's players who pass the ball to reduce the chance of the opponent passing the ball directly.

The opponent's left back Maddock is more defensive and rarely gets involved in the offense, so the defense against him can be reduced a little. Right back Udoka is more offensive. He has good speed and the ability to pass the ball long.

Aluko, the left midfielder, needs to be focused on. His dribbling ability can be said to be top-notch and he also has good speed. Maguire, I asked you to play right back just because I hope you can defend Aluko's breakthrough.

The right midfielder is O'Brien. He is not fast, but he passes a lot of people. His characteristic is that he has very good explosive power, and his way of passing people is sudden acceleration, which is a blast. However, O'Brien's passing is not very good, and he often passes too much or misses the mark.

The midfield duo of Gavin and Mitchison, Gavin is Derby County's ball release point, increasing the pressure on him. Mitchison is more of a defensive midfielder, protecting the backline and participating in defense.

Central defenders Glenn and Bradford are both defensive central defenders, but Paul can be used as a ball point in the backcourt. Vardy needs to increase his pressure on Paul. Goalkeeper Fielding is known for his reflexes, but his ability to deliver the ball is poor."

After talking about tactics, Zhou Xu looked around and put away the tactics board.

"This game is very crucial, or if we want to upgrade, we must strive for every win. At present, we have 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 rounds, ranking second in the English Championship standings. The first place is Queens Park Rangers, who have 4 wins and 1 draw in one more game. We can't expect our opponents to make mistakes. Behind us, Swansea, who have 3 wins and 1 loss, are also eyeing us, and even our arch-enemy Nottingham Forest is only 3 points behind.

We need this victory, we will definitely win, come on!"

John blocked it with his legs.

After receiving the ball at two points, one The fake move got rid of O'Brien who was guarding him. Unfortunately, Mane's final inward shot went over the crossbar.

"Queens Park Rangers, who are next door, currently lead 1:0.

If we keep this score at the end, the gap between us and the top spot will further widen.

We need to strengthen our offense in the second half.

Mane, their defense on the left is very weak.

You can try to cut inside and hit the goal directly instead of passing the ball.

The defense once again had to strengthen its defense against Irving.

Reversal in the second half, come on!"

Udoka made a fatal mistake. He chose to look at Joe Gomez first, and didn't pay any attention to Mane who was walking by him. It was a classic eye defense.

After Joe Gomez passed the ball and Mane received the ball, it was too late for Udoka to chase Mane.

Mane cut inside and shot with his right foot. The ball went straight into the upper right corner of the goal and went in.

Mane rushed over and hugged Joe Gomez, and the score was tied at 1:1.
