At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

Time was still passing and soon came another league match, against Blackpool, who were also Notts County's opponents in the fourth round of the League Cup.

Blackpool has 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 5 games. It mainly adopts a 4-3-3 tactical formation, relying on two wingers to cross the ball to find the fulcrum forward.

On the other side, the home team, Blackpool, is not weak. The team's top star, Northern Ireland international Cathcart, a central defender who can gain a foothold in the Premier League, is resting this game.

He defends well and steals well. He is always able to break the ball from the opponent's feet. He is physically strong and has the ability to head the ball. He is a superstar in the British Championship. His only shortcoming is that he is prone to minor injuries, so Blackpool's head coach Hayes will not use Cathcart to death. He will be on standby on the bench in this game.

The starting goalkeeper is Jackola from Finland. He reacts quickly and covers a wide range. He just came to Blackpool from Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership this season. Another point worth noting is that the 1.96-meter Giacola weighs a full 103 kilograms. With his strong body, he will look a bit bulky when facing a single sword.

On the back line, the two central defenders lacked Cathcart, and Hayes started with Mathieu and Wilson.

The former is strong and fast, and with a balanced left and right foot, he often plays as a left and right full-back. He will rely more on his speed to sweep the ball behind his opponent in the backcourt, protecting his goalkeeper from being easily one-on-one.

The latter Wilson is very interesting. When he was young, he was a winger and was famous for his speed. As he got older and lost the speed he was proud of, Wilson actually relied on perseverance to practice the position of central defender. His one-on-one marking ability is very strong. He often plays as a full-back and has yet to complete a one-on-one breakthrough.

The left back is German Fadi, a decent full-back. The advantage is that he has a balanced left and right foot and can play on both sides from defender to winger. The disadvantage is that he is not top-notch in any position.

Zhou Xu is very familiar with the right back position, as he is a former Red Army player. Nathaniel Klein, who started his career at Crystal Palace, was brought to Anfield by the then Red Army coach Rodgers in the 15-16 season. Play for Liverpool until the 2020-21 season. Clyne has very fast pace and was Liverpool's starting right back before Route 66 Alexander-Arnold.

His club teammate Lovren at the time once praised Klein, saying he was a sports car, fast, strong and smart. Henderson also said that Klein is one of the best full-backs in Europe, let alone in England. Clyne has all the tools a full-back needs.

Unlike his previous life when he joined the Saints Southampton, Blackpool spent a full 3 million euros to sign him from Crystal Palace. Zhou Xu also expressed interest in Klein, but unfortunately Klein finally chose Blackpool, which can provide stable starting opportunities.

Keith, who plays as a single defensive midfielder, is Blackpool's captain on the field. His ability has declined significantly in his 30s, but his leadership skills on the field are undoubtedly revealed and he can bring the entire Blackpool team together very well.

Komen on the left side of the double midfielder is also a good player. The Cameroonian has a very strong body, a very serious attitude towards the game, good passing ability, and even defensive one-on-one interception and steal ability. But the problem is He is not the top player, but he is a very good player in the British Championship.

His partner Gardner is physically stronger than Komen, but the disadvantage is that Gardner's defensive ability is not as good as Komen's, and he plays more of a role in delivering cannonballs in the middle.

The left winger is Spaniard Jonny. He came out of La Masia's youth training camp and once played in the Spanish amateur league. He was discovered by Blackpool's scout team and brought to England. As a winger, he is very fast. He came from the youth training of a wealthy club and his skills are outstanding. He has played 7 league games and provided 3 assists, averaging one goal in two games.

And Jonny's talent is visible to the naked eye. Like Klein, he cannot stay in Blackpool for a long time. It is estimated that he will land in the five major leagues in two to three seasons.

The player on the right is Grandin from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. His speed and body are good in passing. He can complete the duties of a winger well and can even play a guest midfield position. Grandin also has a certain ability to pass and threaten the ball.

For the forward position, there is good news for Zhou Xu. Blackpool's top scorer Santos missed the game due to injury. Substitute forward Fletcher is in his 30s and his body has declined severely. However, his ability to seize opportunities is very good. When running without the ball, he can always reach the ball's landing point. As for whether he can send the ball into the goal, it is hard to say.

In the pre-match arrangement, Zhou Xu needs to pay attention to three players, Jonny on the left, Klein on the right, and Gardner in the midfield.

Gardner handed over to seat B.

Zhou Xu's request was that Gardner should not be able to easily catch the ball from the backcourt.

Johnny's impact was made by Niemann.

Zhou Xu reminded him to pay more attention and never let down his guard.

Dell, who started the game, was also asked by Zhou Xu to help Niemann with defense on the wing.

Klein's impact is stronger, and Robertson needs to provide assists, so the task of defending him is given to Stones.

Kanter will also wander more on the left to help Stones defend.

As the referee blew his whistle, the match between Blackpool and Notts County began at Bloomfield Road.

"In the last game, Notts County lost 1:2 at home to Coventry, which has been gaining momentum recently, and suffered its first defeat of the season. The home team Blackpool on the other side also lost the last game 1:2. I don’t know what kind of sparks will be produced in this meeting between the two teams. Due to the ongoing injury wave, coach Zhou Xu's starting list this time still includes many previous substitutes.

For Blackpool, the injury and absence of the team's top scorer will greatly reduce their offensive firepower. The game begins with Blackpool kicking off. Notts County were very proactive at the start and it seemed that they were not affected by their first defeat in the league. Klein's dribbling, Kanter, he scooped the ball directly out of the sideline."
