At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

"There is always no shortage of topics in derby games. Even in the third round of the League Cup, the two teams from Nottinghamshire are determined to fight to the death. According to the news we learned before the game, Notts County confirmed that Van Dyke Ke and Cancelo are still exempt from the game, and two main players, Kante and Vardy, have also been injured. On the Nottingham Forest side, Brandon and Bennett are also injured and unable to play. Among them, Brandon is Nottingham. Forest's starting player."

This game is still a 433 tactical formation.

Starting goalkeeper Alisson.

Defense line Robertson, Stones, Maguire, Niemann.

In the three midfielders, Fred starts as a defensive midfielder, and Pogba partners with Seat B.

The front three consists of Mane, Benteke and Salah.

On the Nottingham Forest side, the new head coach McCarthy created a 532 tactic, relying on the two full-backs to pass the ball in to find the two forwards in the frontcourt. In fact, it is a dog-holding Frisbee tactic, but this Frisbee flies from the side.

The starting goalkeeper is Jamie Jones, who is not the regular starter Smith. Jones's advantage is that his reflexes are better than Smith's and his saving ability is slightly better than Smith's, but his experience is a little less than Smith's. Both goalkeepers are 1.91 meters tall. Jones's shortcoming is that his defensive position selection is not very good, he can rarely save the opponent's one-on-one shots, and his one-on-one ability is not good.

Among the three central defenders, Thompson and Hammond on the left and in the middle are still teenagers. They are players with promising futures and currently have no characteristics. They are Nottingham Forest's first appearance this season.

The right center back is familiar to Chambers, Nottingham Forest's on-field captain, who took the lead in supporting the new head coach and was entrusted with important tasks and has not missed all games this season.

Marcelo sat on the bench in the last match and coach McCarthy gave him a day off.

The two wing-backs on the flanks are crucial in McCarthy's tactics. Leidner, who is on the left wing-back, has speed, crosses and dribbling, and can well assume the role of wing-back in McCarthy's tactics.

Larion on the right is very familiar. Under McCarthy, Larion's offensive talents have been liberated, and he has performed well in recent games.

As a single midfielder, McCarthy chose to start Moshi. He is very strong and has strong confrontation ability. He is a purely defensive midfielder and has no ability to play the ball. Moshi also has an advantage. He is 1.87 meters tall and has a certain ability to bounce and header.

Danilo, the key man in the last derby, came to the midfield. McCarthy wanted to give full play to his passing ability, while reducing defense would also allow him to reduce cards. Before the game, he made harsh words and wanted to exact revenge on Notts County.

Midfield partner Ojeda is young and has potential. He can be regarded as a small hexagonal warrior in the midfield, and his passing defense and breakthrough are not bad.

Among the forwards, high forward Chris Wood is worth noting. The New Zealander spent 17.5 million euros to come to Nottingham Forest, and he also delivered a very good answer, scoring 4 goals in 6 games. As a high center, his role is that of a dog with a Frisbee in its mouth, causing pressure on the opponent's defense. At the same time, he is also a very terrifying aerial bomber.

Another forward, Blake, the top scorer in the team, did not start. His partner was Taylor, who is 1.85 meters tall and has the same attributes as Chris Wood. It seems that McCarthy's tactic was to first use high-altitude bombing to smash the Notts County defense, and then Blake came on as a substitute. Qi Bing makes the final impact.

The tickets for this League Cup match were quickly sold out. Notts County fans welcomed their neighbors with a giant tifo of a woodpecker pecking the forest. Trees that have been pecked by woodpeckers will die. This is what Notts County fans were thinking about. this. home team locker room

"Stones is marking Taylor, and Maguire is marking Chris Wood. When setting the ball, they compete with them for headers. You should also pay attention to them playing high balls from the wing to find the forwards. In this game, Mane and Salah must be active and press their wings, so that their chances of passing the ball from the wing will be reduced.

Benteke needs to press more on Thompson and Hammond. They are too young and have no game experience and are very prone to mistakes. Dealing with Danilo triggered his bad temper, and the suspension did not allow him to improve his bad temper. Ojeda in the midfield has a non-dominant left foot, which allows him to touch the ball with his left foot as much as possible.

Nottingham Forest is our enemy, not an opponent, but an enemy. Let's go, in our stadium, to the cheers of our fans, to crush our enemies. come on!"

"The focus of the third round of the League Cup was the Nottingham Derby. As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the second Nottingham Derby this season began. In the last game at the City Stadium, Notts County defeated their city rivals 3:1. In this game, the two teams basically used their main players. Let us look forward to the battle between the two teams."

In the 5th minute of the game, Robertson made a pass with the instep of his outside foot. Benteke moved deftly to receive the ball, accelerated past Hammond and Chambers, and then passed the ball to Salah in the penalty area. Unexpectedly, Salah's empty goal turned out to be His shot missed goalkeeper Jones.

The thrilling scene happened in the 15th minute of the game.

The young and energetic Hammond was probably a little excited to get his first chance. He intercepted the ball with a violent tackle. Mane fell to the ground and could not get up.

"Foul, are you crazy? Shovel at the ankle, red card, get out."Zhou Xu roared excitedly, and Benteke rushed forward and pushed Hammond away. The referee only showed a yellow card. Although everyone in Notts County was angry, there was nothing they could do.

Mane was taken away by the team doctor. B Fee came on as a substitute to complete the game. Mane

's injury ignited Notts County. In the 35th minute of the game, Pogba's free kick almost assisted Maguire's header.

5 minutes later, the offense came back and Robertson threw. Fred passed the ball out of bounds. Seat B caught the ball and passed it out before Chris Wood could grab it. Salah blocked Danilo's shot in front of the goal and was blocked by Jones. Bottom line.

Then B Fee took a corner kick from the right, and Benteke's header missed the near post.

In the first half of stoppage time, Notts County was still attacking the Nottingham Forest goal. Pogba's shot from the wing. A blast hit the crossbar.

Unfortunately, luck was on Nottingham Forest's side. Notts County could not break through Nottingham Forest's goal.

During the halftime break,

Zhou Xu felt a little uncomfortable in the home team's dressing room. I will be absent for at least three weeks, possibly longer.

"We want to win, we did a great job in the first half and now continue to attack Nottingham Forest's goal and beat them."
