Chapter 15 Warm-up plan

David wanted to point at the noses of the two giant clubs, but he knew that he could only swear in the office to vent, but there was nothing he could do with the two giants.

Even if he is unwilling, he can only swallow this breath temporarily. Fengshui turns around. He believes that Notts County will definitely have a glorious day. At that time, he will defeat these two clubs on the court. Their corpses went to the altar, is there a more satisfying revenge than this!

Putting the two clubs aside, David began to contact other Premier League clubs, but it turned out that these clubs rejected Notts County’s warm-up request without exception. Only Derby County agreed to play a warm-up match with Notts County. However, they asked Notts County to give a £50w appearance fee.

Nima is taking us for granted!

David felt that he was so angry that he was about to bleed, and directly replied to Derby County with Fuck off.

David has also been worried about this matter these days. It's not that he really can't afford the appearance fee. The key is that he doesn't want to put Notts County as a weak person, holding money to pray for the other party and the other party. Play a warm-up match by yourself, are you so cheap!

The irritable David suddenly came up with the name of a club in his mind, and then slapped his thigh and grinned wildly.

Is there a more suitable warm-up opponent than this club?

David's sight is fixed on a country on the globe, that country is called Italy.

And the club David thought of was the top giant in Italian football - Juventus.

It is said that Juventus and Notts County have a historical relationship. If it hadn’t been for the opening game of Juventus’ new stadium in his previous life who invited Notts County, a good friend, David would definitely not know the difference between the two clubs. Relationship.

The black and white striped shirt that the old woman used at first came from Notts County, the oldest professional club in England. This is also the starting point of the relationship between the two clubs. After more than 100 years, although the two clubs have their own fate, but still maintain a good relationship.

Isn't this the best warm-up opponent!

But the only thing that makes David scratch his head is that the current chairman of Juventus is the conspirator Moggi who covers the sky with his bare hands in Italian football. To be honest, he really does not want to deal with this old guy.

You know, it was because of the phone door that shocked the football world that Juventus was directly sentenced to relegation, which was greatly damaged, and it did not recover for several seasons.

However, David thought about it, even if Moggi is in the Italian football world, it has nothing to do with him, and it will not have a big relationship with Notts County. It is just a warm-up match. He thinks too much. .

Thinking of this, David quickly asked the beautiful secretary to send an official document to the Juventus club, inviting Juventus to play a warm-up match.

Just as he thought, Juventus agreed to the invitation of Notts County, but because of preparations, they could not come to England to play the game, so instead they invited Notts County to come to Turin to play the game.

Anyway, for Juventus, the pre-season warm-up is also to be carried out. They originally planned to pick a few weak teams to practice tactics. Now Notts County has taken the initiative to send them to the door, just to fulfill their nostalgic good reputation. .

As a result, Notts County's pre-season warm-up plan has also been determined.

First, they will face Northampton, who are also League Two teams, at Meadow Lane, and then Notts County will move to London for two games against League One teams Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace. Park Rangers have just been relegated and, like Notts County, will become a League Two team next season.

Notts County will then fly direct from London to Italy for a friendly match with Juventus.

Finally back in England, before the start of the season, there will also be a match against the Championship team Manchester City.

Of the five opponents,

Only Northampton and Notts County are teams of the same level, and the remaining four clubs are all higher than Notts County, and even a continental giant like Juventus, the warm-up match is full of gold.

The team's first warm-up game is definitely to watch, even if there are important things to be rejected.

In fact, David is also an assistant coach of the first team in name, but he has never been to the training ground a few times. It is not that he is lazy, but that he is really busy.

If a club wants to develop, it is absolutely not enough to have a strong first team. Youth training must not be ignored, and even more important than the first team, because that is the eternal future of a club.

In the summer, a huge amount of money was invested in the transfer market, but there was more than £7,000 in cash left in the club's account, which David planned to use to build a youth training base.

In David's plan, the youth training camp of Notts County in the future must become the top youth training camp in European football. He will never be stingy in investing in this aspect.

He has found a famous British construction company to design the youth training base, first of all in terms of hardware, to reach the top level.

For the long-term planning of the team, David has a clear context in his mind. Not only the youth training base, but also the team's training base and the construction of the new stadium will gradually be put on the agenda.

The youth training base must be the first to be launched. One season is enough time to complete it.

The team's training base is not particularly urgent, at least the current training ground can meet the daily training.

The most important thing is the stadium. At present, the team's home stadium, Meadow Lane, can only accommodate 20,000 fans, which is more than enough for the League Two; but considering the future development, this ancient team is absolutely for the team. It's a shackle.

If the construction of the modern stadium is started now, it should be possible to complete two seasons. If everything goes well, the team will be promoted to the Premier League at that time.

However, it is expensive to build a modern football stadium. According to the current purchasing power, it will cost at least 150 million pounds, or even more. Notts County does not have so much money for the time being.

However, David is not worried about this at all, because he knows that in three months, there will be a major event in the United States. If it is done properly, it will be more than enough to buy the top giants, let alone build a stadium.
