Chapter 299 The general trend of the Premier League

? Before the official start of the new season, Notts County conducted targeted training for the problems exposed in several warm-up games, and then went to London to play two warm-up games before preparing to officially usher in the new season.

Before the start of the new season, the media will naturally start their own battles, predict the situation of the Premier League this season, and make a tour of the Premier League team.

Perhaps many ordinary fans will have a strong interest in these reports and form their own judgments based on the analysis of the media, but for real professionals, this is all nonsense.

And all kinds of media are also crooked ass. For example, the Guardian is very sure that Manchester United will successfully defend the title, and Arsenal can only follow Manchester United's ass to eat ashes, because the Guardian is a local media from Manchester; The Echo supports the revival of Liverpool, and the one who completes the dynasty is a big belly, because the Echo is the local media of Liverpool.

As for some national media from London, most of them are optimistic about Arsenal winning the championship, and a few are optimistic about the strong Chelsea.

Anyway, the media is making a lot of noise, which is even more fierce than the fans who support each team.

However, from a comprehensive perspective, everyone's grasp of the situation in the Premier League is still very predictable, and even the real inner thoughts are simply consensus.

The first is to win the championship team, which can be described as five tigers roaring in the mountains.

Manchester United, as the defending champions, are definitely the favourites to win the title. Although the actions in the transfer market are quite incomprehensible, and Shuangbei is let go, he has not introduced a star of a comparable level.

Watching Liverpool snatched Kewell, Chelsea kidnapped Duff, and even Ronaldinho, who almost got it, was robbed by Barcelona halfway. But in the end, he bought Xiao Luo in a hurry, and everyone didn't see why he was worth the price for the time being.

However, Manchester United has championship genes, and Ferguson is also very good at condensing players who are not first-class into a very combat team. They have no reason to give up the championship.

Arsenal is regarded as Manchester United's biggest challenger. Although the Arsenal has not made any major moves this season, it has only made a proper weaker for the lineup. However, the renewals of Vieira and Pires are the real deal. The biggest advantage is the basis for their stable performance.

Although Liverpool and Newcastle, the two traditional giants, have no major transfer moves, they must not be ignored because of their rich heritage. They are also considered as strong contenders for the championship.

In the championship team, Chelsea must be the most concerned team in the new season.

The arrival of Abramovich has given the Blues a new look.

It also brought unpredictable changes to the Premier League.

The more than 100 million pounds he spent in the transfer market gave the small and medium-sized clubs the funds to expand their army, and the Italian coach Ranieri also got the players he needed. Top stars such as Veron and Crespo made it impossible to ignore the new season. The Blues were impressed.

Last season, they had already reached the top four in the league and qualified for the Champions League, so it is more logical for Chelsea to go further this season. Even if the Blues directly won the league title, I am afraid it will not be too surprising, because they The lineup is too strong.

The above five teams form the championship team, and after them, it is the mid-level team that competes for UEFA Cup qualification and has no desires.

Notts County is predicted to be at this level. It is not enough, and it is more than the next. There is no hope of winning the championship and avoiding relegation. It is the largest group in the Premier League.

And in this grade, there are seven clubs of Tottenham, Everton, Southampton, Blackburn, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Leeds United.

Tottenham is the team with the largest investment among the eight teams in the middle reaches, and the departure of Sheringham has left little Keane without a striker partner. The purchase of Portuguese teenager Postiga, West Ham striker Canute and Brighton striker Zamora cost a total of 11.2 million pounds, which even puts Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United and other first-class teams in the dust.

The goal of Tottenham’s big investment is naturally to hit the UEFA Cup. As for the real rush to win the championship, it is still impossible with their lineup.

As for other teams, there is nothing particularly worth writing about, and being able to rank in the middle of the Premier League can already prove their strength.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the blooming white rose of Leeds United has now entered a period of withering, and the difficulty of the club's management makes everyone feel sorry for it.

Only David knew that this former youth janitorial army would soon lose its glory because of economic problems, and finally relegated to the lower leagues, never to appear again.

As for the remaining seven teams, they formed a relegation regiment, including Portsmouth and Leicester City, the two League One teams that were promoted to the Premier League at the same time as Notts County.

It may be the same, but all professional football professionals generally have this perception. Even if a team may become a dark horse, it cannot change the general trend of the Premier League.

David just smiled when he saw similar reports, and he didn't care much. It was okay for them to deceive children and ordinary fans, but when it really came to a critical moment, they couldn't.

Does Notts County's strength stop at just competing for a League Cup spot?

Obviously bullshit!

David has only one goal, and that is the Premier League title.

After two seasons of running-in and training, although Notts County's lineup has not fully reached its peak, it already has the confidence to compete head-to-head with any giant club, even if the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world. Also confident that a Kaiserslautern miracle can be staged.

It is true that Notts County has various deficiencies, lack of experience, players' mentality is easily fluctuated, etc., but Notts County also has an advantage that others do not have, that is, Notts County's bench depth.

The Premier League has 38 rounds. The teams that have the strength to compete for the league championship have the task of European competition. At the same time, they also have to take into account the domestic cup competitions. At most, they may play nearly 70 games in a season, which is definitely a very scary number.

David doesn't think that a player can play all the games without any injuries.

Moreover, the Premier League is the league with the most intense physical confrontation. It is common for players to get injured, and even a small number of the first team may enter the injured list at the same time.

This is where Notts County's strengths come into play. When others are on a few substitutes, Notts County also has a few substitutes, but there is almost no significant decline in strength. Others should not be dumbfounded!

This is David's greatest desire to win the championship. (To be continued.)
