At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

On October 8, the match against Coventry City began.

Under the leadership of new coach Mark Robin, Coventry City made no investment in the transfer window. Coventry City, which is a favorite for relegation, has 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in 9 games, ranking 7th.

Zhou Xu does not underestimate this Coventry City, but the intensive schedule forces him to rotate.

Starting goalkeeper Alisson took a rest, and Karius got a chance to play.

In the back line, Cancelo, who returned from injury, came to the right, and Robertson was still the left back. In the back line, Ilori started, Stones was able to rest, and the Englishman almost did not miss any game of Notts County. Another English central defender Maguire still started, and he partnered with Ilori in this game.

In the midfield combination, the defensive midfielder Fred started. Midfielder Wang Chu came to the right, and the young Ali on the left got a chance. In the forward trident, B Fee still started, Mahrez replaced Salah, and in the forward position, the injured Origi got a chance to play.

On the other side, Coventry City, who were visiting Mido Lane, played a 532 tactical formation.

As they were weaker, they kept a low profile and focused on quick counterattacks after defense.

The starting goalkeeper, Joe Murphy, was very good at saving shots.

He was also one of the few goalkeepers in the Championship who had the ability to pass the ball.

At the age of 34, he was experienced, and his youth did not wear out his passion.

He was still fully focused in the game.

In 9 league games, the Irish goalkeeper only lost 8 goals, averaging less than 1 goal per game.

The three central defenders from left to right were Dorrington, Wood and Shotton, all of whom were relatively ordinary central defenders.

Williams, the left wingback, had excellent speed at a young age and was one of the main starting points for Coventry City's counterattack. His advantage was that he was very involved in the game and often insisted on running at all costs until the last moment. His disadvantage was that his skills were very rough.

Compared with Williams, Taylor on the right was an old player. His speed declined seriously, and his main defensive duties were on the wing. Taylor's advantage is his experience and accumulated skills. He can often find the receiving point in the front court with a long pass and launch a successful counterattack.

Hamer, who is in the defensive midfielder position, is the key to Coventry's formation. He is very aggressive and often actively steals the ball, and he can always grab the ball. Hamer is also the captain of Coventry on the field. Hamer, who can even play in the Premier League, is extremely loyal and has rejected invitations from many mid- and lower-level teams in the top five leagues.

Double midfielder, Denis Suarez on the left.

The young Spaniard will be the main player of the upper- and middle-level teams in La Liga in the future, and he has also played for Arsenal for a short time.

However, he is not well-known now, and was loaned to Coventry by Manchester City to level up.

He played well, with 1 goal and 1 assist in 6 games.

His passing and other technical aspects can be called a dimensionality reduction strike in the English Championship, but his body obviously needs to grow.

His partner Grenier is also a player at the level of the top five leagues, but unfortunately he needs time to grow like Denis now. He is the famous"Lyon New Kaka", who can play as a striker or a front midfielder. He is relatively thin, but his advantage is that he is calm among his peers, and his shooting is relatively accurate, with one direct free kick. He was also selected for the French national team.

Unlike his previous life, Lyon did not give Grenier a chance, and Grenier did not get a contract extension from Lyon this season. Coventry signed him, and he has scored two goals in 9 games this season. He still needs to grow.

The double striker, the Polish striker Lucas on the left, is a standard fulcrum striker, strong, good at seizing opportunities, but lacks creativity.

His partner is the future England international Kalul Wilson, who is very fast and often wanders around the opponent's defense line, ready to receive the ball behind him at any time. In addition, under the leadership of head coach Robin, he also served as a connector between the striker and the midfield, often relying on speed to bring the ball from the midfield to the frontcourt, and also has a good dribbling breakthrough ability.

After Zhou Xu shook hands with Robin, he came to the coaching seat.

The pre-match ceremony ended and the game officially began.

Origi kicked off amid the cheers of the Notts County fans at home.

It was not until the 23rd minute that Notts County found a good opportunity to tear open Coventry's defense and score a goal.

Wang Chu's advance in the middle was tactically fouled, and Notts County got a free kick opportunity.

Bruno Fernandes stood on the penalty spot, and his shot was saved by goalkeeper Joe Murphy.

The corner kick was still taken by Bruno Fernandes.

Bruno Fernandes took the corner kick to find Origi at the back post, but Grenier anticipated and cleared it. At two o'clock, Williams wanted to launch a counterattack, but he was not fast enough.

Wang Chu appeared in front of Williams, and the Chinese man stretched his legs to grab the ball. There was a flat land in front of him, and most of the Coventry players were still in the penalty area.

"Mark him quickly and defend the cross."Zhou Xu could hear the loud voice of Coventry coach Robin.

The corners of Zhou Xu's mouth raised, and he was reminded now that it was already too late.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xu was not happy for long. Although Wang Chu's cross was very good, But Mahrez in front of the goal headed the ball high, and Coventry escaped.

In the first half, Notts County had no chance, although

Zhou Xu also attached great importance to this Coventry team. The defense was very good. Wang Chu, who had performed well before, was severely restricted in the rest of the first half.

Because Coventry was mainly defensive in the first half, Zhou Xu made no adjustments other than asking the players to strengthen their offense. Let the defense continue to focus on striker Wilson.

At the beginning of the second half, Coventry, which had not yet built a strong defense, almost scored a goal from Mahrez on the wing, and found Wang Chu in the inverted triangle behind the baseline. Wang Chu performed well in this game, and his shot was powerful and had a good angle. Unfortunately, goalkeeper Joe Murphy also performed superbly in this game. He made an extreme save and saved the ball. In the

51st minute of the game, it was still Mahrez. After a breakthrough, the ball was cleared by center defender Shorten, and a corner kick opportunity was still taken by B Fee. Wood headed the ball from the first point to clear the ball. At the second point, Wang Chu still received the ball. He chose a cross pass, three passes and two leads. In the meantime, the ball coming to Ali's feet was intercepted by Coventry's Grenier. Coventry had a chance to counterattack.

Wilson received the pass from Grenier, and Fred immediately stepped forward to mark him.

Unfortunately, Wilson was still left.

Taking the ball out, Taylor got the ball from the wing.

After receiving the ball, Taylor acted as a fulcrum and firmly protected the ball.

When Wilson was in place, he passed the ball into the penalty area.

Zhou Xu was very nervous.

The ball was completely attributed to Wilson's personal ability.

Near the baseline, Wilson made a cross.

Maguire in front of the goal stretched his leg, and the ball refracted and hit Lucas' legs and entered the goal.
