At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

In the 71st minute of the game, Notts County finally scored.

The insertion of Cancelo on the wing showed its effect, and he passed the ball to Salah, who was more advanced.

Facing the double-team of four people, Salah contributed to the world-famous painting. He passed a wonderful through ball in the circle of four people. Vardy accelerated the ball in front of the goal and then pushed the shot into the far corner. 1:0, Vardy was excited. He ran to the sidelines and knelt down to celebrate, and Zhou Xu also pumped his fist in excitement.

In the 92nd minute of the game, Salah scored a goal to kill the game. Mane passed the ball over the top, and Salah scored single-handedly in front of the goal.

2:0, Notts County successfully advanced to the next round of the League Cup.

Their opponent in the next round is their old rival Manchester City. This draw made Zhou Xu's eyes darken and he was really speechless. It seemed that Notts County's League Cup journey this season was coming to an end.

Three days later, Birmingham City will come to Mido Lane to challenge Notts County.

Under the leadership of head coach Davidson, Birmingham City focuses on the 433 long pass and lob tactics. The team's overall speed is not fast. It mainly relies on passing the ball from the center and backcourt to find the dog holding the Frisbee in the frontcourt to seek scoring opportunities, and then relies on positioning. The ball is gone.

Birmingham City has 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in 13 league games this season and is currently ranked 12th in the English Championship. However, their league journey at the beginning of the season was very difficult. They had 4 draws and 3 losses in 7 consecutive league games and were unable to win. However, they have 4 wins and 2 losses in the last 6 games, and even won 3 consecutive games in the first three games. Birmingham City is in very good shape.

Zhou Xu made certain rotations in the starting lineup for this game. The goalkeeper is still Alisson, and there are smaller changes in the defense. Robertson, Stones, Maguire and Nijman are starting in succession.

The three midfielders are Kante, Verratti and B Fee. All three players in the frontcourt are rotated. Seat B rotates the left winger this time, Mahrez is the right winger, and Origi is the forward of the Belgian brother.

Birmingham's side still uses the regular 433 tactics. The starting goalkeeper is Doyle, who is from Ireland and is 1.91 meters tall and strong. He averaged nearly 3 saves per game in 13 league games. At the beginning of the season, Birmingham could have 4 draws. A key figure, his goalkeeping ability is also among the best in the British Championship.

Nicky, the left back, although he is very old and has a serious physical decline, he is still one of the initiators of long passes from the wing due to his dedication to the game and his excellent passing and crossing abilities. At the same time, his rich experience also makes Nicky's defense on the wing very good. Nicky played 14 games for Birmingham in all competitions this season, and he did not miss any Birmingham game.

The right back is Belgian Gill, who was signed by Birmingham on a visa-free basis from Feyenoord in the Eredivisie this season. Similar to Nicky, Gil has also suffered physical decline due to age, but his offensive and defensive abilities are excellent. He has 1 goal and 2 assists in 11 games this season and is one of Birmingham's offensive starting points on the right. Gil was very involved in the game and he dared to press, even though it would cost him more Topaz cards.

The central defender combination, on the left is Pablo Ibáñez. Atletico fans from Spain should know Ibáñez. In the 2004-05 season, he formed an iron gate defense with the former Boca Juniors Colombian central defender Perea.. This pair of defenses, worth only 6 million euros, has changed the decline of Atletico Madrid's defense in the past. Ibañez played almost the entire season that season and contributed three goals.

He teamed up with Perea and had a total of 150 steals that season, and was known as"holding up Atletico Madrid's wall.

" After a decline in form, he came to Birmingham.

Ibañez comes from the small Spanish town of Albacete.

He is the absolute main force in Atletico Madrid and Spain.

Ibañez is 1.

92 meters tall, has good header skills and is calm on the court.

Surprisingly for such a tall man, his turn speed is not slow.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that he was selected for the Spanish national team and replaced the reckless Marchena as the main central defender.

The combination between him and Puyol complements each other perfectly.

Spain's defense has become much more stable.
