Chapter 43: Blackburn

Just returned to England from the United States, David unexpectedly received a call from Soriano, the future wealthy president agreed to be the CEO of Notts County, and Soriano took over two weeks later. After the job, the family will come to England.

David, who got the news, was overjoyed. It is not easy to find a good CEO in this era. Those who have been famous for a long time and have served in the rich and powerful for a long time, with the situation in Notts County, they can't be found at all. Only Soriano in his previous life Only the rising star can be dug up by David.

David is very happy to tell Soriano to come to England as soon as possible, because there are two major projects waiting for him soon, the team's training base and the construction of the new stadium. David intends to completely let it go to Soria. Nuolai operates, he will only put forward some opinions in the early stage.

During David's more than a week in the United States, Notts County played two League Two games against Blackpool and Wigan Athletic. Notts County easily defeated their opponents with their superior strength and won seven consecutive victories. It also rose to second place in the standings, just two points behind Brighton at the top of the table.

However, Notts County's momentum is not as fierce as the newly-promoted Breton. This dark horse has shown the top strength and strong stability of League Two. In nine league games, it only lost the game against Notts County, and the remaining eight Complete victory in the field, proud of the standings.

As for Brighton, who seems to have taken stimulants, Notts County has not really paid attention to it, because the team itself is in good condition, and its technical and tactics are gradually taking shape. As long as there is no large-scale injury problem, in In the standings, he is sure to catch up with his opponent. Besides, his opponent is still his own defeat. What qualifications do he have to show himself in front of him.

The league is in full swing, and his good form has made Loew have more ambitions for the cup.

The opponents in the third round of the League Cup have been drawn through the draw, and the result is a little helpless, because Notts County once again encountered a Premier League team after eliminating Middlesbrough, this time their opponent is Blackburn.

Although Blackburn just emerged from League One and upgraded to the Premier League last season, this veteran powerhouse should never be underestimated. The Violent Ben has a much deeper background than Notts County. You know, they were the Premier League champions six years ago.

However, Loew will not have any despair. Even if they encounter the top giants, Notts County will not give up. Moreover, it is still unclear how much energy Blackburn can put into the League Cup.

As a newly-promoted horse, Blackburn's primary goal must be to avoid relegation in the Premier League. Although Blackburn has three wins and two losses in the middle of the standings regardless of the Premier League, it seems that Blackburn is in the middle of the standings. However, this is only the early stage of the league, and they still have to work hard. Play the Premier League game after game.

In any case, the opponent has been determined, and it is meaningless to calculate too much. Loew is very clear that Notts County may not be in trouble when facing Blackburn.

But before the third round of the League Cup, Notts County will play three League Two games, the first against Cardiff.

Notts County has rotated several main players in this league, and most of the starting players are substitutes. In Cardiff's view, Notts County is about to give up this game.

But David is very clear that even the bench lineup is all future first-class stars, or even superstars. Replacing them does not mean that the team will give up the league. The strength of the bench lineup is not much inferior to the main lineup.

Cardiff, who thought they had a chance to win, was stunned by Notts County's wild attack at the beginning. They wanted to play against Notts County, but the huge pressure of defense made them pass the half-time only very few times.

Cardiff's coach knew when he saw the situation on the field that it was not good. If he hadn't adjusted his tactics and unified the players' thinking, I was afraid that Cardiff would have been beaten into a colander in this game. , at least make sure not to lose the ball, as for the goal,

Still think about it.

While commanding the team to retreat, the Cardiff coach's heart was like 10,000 grass-mud horses and mythical beasts whizzing past, leaving behind a poop that spread all over the floor.

Didn't Nima say to give up the game?

Nima, this is Notts County's bench?

He doesn't know how to describe his mood at this time. If Notts County's on-court lineup is given to Cardiff, then he is confident that he will directly take Cardiff to upgrade to League One.

In the case of Cardiff sticking to the penalty area, although Notts County firmly controlled the situation on the pitch, but it was slow to break the opponent's door.

Notts County shot a full 21 shots in the first half. Except for a few shots that rushed to the stands and hit the plane, the rest was either blocked by the opponent's body to catch the eye, or was resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper bravely, and it is a pity that there are still two-footed door frames , not a single goal.

David sat on the coaching bench and thought absentmindedly, maybe after this game, the value of the opponent's goalkeeper will increase greatly. Are you Spider-Man?

In the second half, Notts County dispatched troops, and even put Mertesacker, a high-ranking guy, into the opponent's penalty area to work as a center, but the balance of victory today was not tilted toward Notts County.

In stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game after Altintop Jr.'s shot from the front of the penalty area rubbed the post and flew out of the baseline.

Notts County, who blasted 39 shots, could only return to Nottingham with a 0-0 score.

The expressions of the players are very depressed, and it is difficult for anyone to be happy in such a situation.

David and Love walked into the field and consoled the players who seemed to have lost the game, but it was a draw, not the end of the world, no big deal.

However, the training of breaking the intensive defense should be carried out in a planned way. If Notts County has always maintained a strong state, many League Two teams will probably choose relatively conservative tactics when facing Notts County. In the extreme, getting a point is better than losing the game.

With a draw, as Brighton won again, and Mansfield behind him also won, Notts County was overtaken and ranked third in the standings.

Originally, Mansfield had a tendency to pinch his tail in the face of the strength of Notts County, but who would have thought that Notts County would make a mistake after this round, so Gino Pozzo trembled again.

Yes, Mansfield will be successfully promoted this season. Just like after this game, we will surpass Notts County in points. In the future, we will surpass Brighton and upgrade to League One as League Two champions.

In fact, Notts County is not comparable to Mansfield at all. Notts County's lineup is brand new. Maybe when other teams are not familiar with their technical and tactical play and players' individual abilities, they can achieve some results. It's like a winning streak the other day.

But what does it mean? When other teams know Notts County, they have nothing to show. The draw between Notts County and Cardiff is the best proof.

As long as you are familiar with their passing, you can easily restrain them, at least not lose, what is there to fear in such a team!
