Chapter 152: The cursed standings

In the waiting and anticipation of various clubs, the 02-03 season of the English Football League kicked off.

Notts County face League One powerhouse Sheffield Wednesday in the first round.

As an opponent in the League Cup semi-finals last season, Notts County still has some understanding of Sheffield Wednesday. Although they were not able to be promoted from League One last season, they were able to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup, which is enough to prove Sheffield Wednesday's incompetence. Not to mention, Sheffield Wednesday has also strengthened the lineup this season. It may not be possible to upgrade directly, but it is a reasonable goal to at least compete for a play-off qualification.

Especially in the case of the deterioration of the general environment of the league below the Premier League, the teams that were originally in the League One have become despondent, and at this time, the last fight to hit the Premier League becomes the last struggle, success, or Falling into the abyss, there are only these two possible outcomes.

But for Sheffield Wednesday, the first round of the league against Notts County really made them extremely painful.

I originally thought that I could meet a weak team and get a good start, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will let others see the good start...

Although I was afraid of Notts County before I saw it, the strength of Notts County was there. After analyzing and analyzing, it didn't seem like a good fight. The only advantage was probably that he could play at home.

Well, there must be a battle in the end, and it is unknown who will die.

As for Notts County, the winner or certain to win is much bigger than Sheffield Wednesday. This is the first round of League One, and everyone knows the significance of a good start.

At the beginning of the game, Notts County slowly put pressure on Sheffield Wednesday according to their favorite rhythm, suppressing Villa's starter Di Natale, who was very active. position, it was a mess to stir up Sheffield Wednesday's shaky back line.

Di Natale knows that he is not a talented player, so he needs more efforts to gradually improve himself, so he will be so willing to use his physical strength.

In the 8th minute, Di Natale received a 45-degree diagonal pass and grabbed the goal, 0:1.

In the 21st minute, Di Natale retreated to catch the ball, took a long-range shot by surprise, scored twice, 0:2.

In the 40th minute, it was Di Natale again, who single-handedly scored in the counterattack, rewriting the score to 0:3.

Di Natale, who scored a hat-trick, was so excited that he took off his jersey and ran all the way to the stands of the visiting team, echoing the Notts County fans who came with the team.

Although he got a yellow card, Di Natale has no regrets. At least as a striker, the chance of him getting a yellow card is still very small, and overall it has little impact.

But Villa, who was sitting on the bench, was about to cry!

If Nima gives you a chance to start, wear a hat!

Can we still have fun together!

Do you know that I am under a lot of pressure!

Notts County led by three goals in the first half. Sheffield Wednesday, who played at home, had little resistance and was extremely depressed.

I couldn't defend against Notts County's attack. I couldn't make my own attack. I managed to organize a decent attack, but when I turned around, I was immediately counterattacked.

Sheffield Wednesday's coach simply couldn't get up from the bench after being two goals behind, because even if he stood on the sidelines and commanded the game, he couldn't make up for the huge gap in strength between the two teams.

He really wanted to ask: You are all so strong, are you still in the League One?

Sheffield Wednesday didn't even want to attack in the live game. The whole team returned to the backcourt to defend. They didn't have much ambition. As long as the game didn't lose too badly, at least they were barely able to score 0:3. Accept, but if there is a big defeat, it will have a great impact on future games, so it will not be worth the loss.

When the opponent Ming Jin withdraws, Notts County is naturally happy to reduce consumption. Although the early stage of the league is not intensive, it is good to save a little physical strength. Quantitative changes will always lead to qualitative changes.

In the end, Villa, who came off the bench, also scored a goal, and Notts County took away a big victory from the away game.

It is with this victory that Notts County has taken the top spot in the league standings after the first round of the league.

It is also very strange to say that except for Leicester City's 2-0 victory over Greensby, the remaining 10 games have all reached a draw, which is too exaggerated.

In a round of 12 games in the league, there may be 3-5 draws in general, and 6 or 7 draws are already rare. As for 10 draws, it is definitely a rare event that occurs once in a decade.

And such a small probability event actually appeared in the first round, which really shocked many people.

Of course, this is not a coincidence without reason. Except for Portsmouth's draw by Millwall, which was an upset, the other two opponents were very similar in strength, so there was a large-scale draw.

Looking at the League One standings, the top two Notts County, Leicester City and the last two Sheffield Wednesday, Glassby, and the others were so conspicuous that they made a lot of people laugh and cry.

In the second round of the league that followed, this small probability event happened again, which was really terrifying.

Notts County scored another 4-goal victory at home, but the opponent was replaced by Norwich.

Portsmouth beat Glassby by 1 goal.

Wolves reversed Sheffield Wednesday.

This is the only three games in the second round of the league with a winner and a loser, and the other 9 games...all draws.

In the face of this strange situation, all League One fans can only shout, We're evil!

Because they can't think of any other better explanation!

In the standings, Notts County outperformed with 6 points, showing the true character of a strong team.

Leicester City and Portsmouth and Wolves also have 4 points, but they are ranked second, third and fourth because of goal difference.

Looking further down, this is another neat swipe of 2 points, as if the whole world is in harmony.

Do you really intend to carry the draw to the end?

Well, forgive us for not compromising!

The fans of Notts County are very excited. Their team has been sitting at the top of the standings from the beginning, showing the strength and momentum to impact the Premier League. As long as the state is maintained, is the Premier League still far?

Looking at the rivals in the same city, Nottingham Forest, like other teams, seems to have been cursed. After two consecutive draws, it is OK to say that you are tied for fifth place, or you are tied for the bottom 21. It’s really fun!
