Chapter 55 Giant Slayer

In League Two, Notts County is the biggest winner. Hubnell and Villa have taken the top two scorers, and Di Natale, who has not played many games because of injury, has also returned after his comeback. Ranked fifth through a strong performance.

Other teams simply envy Notts County's striker. The number of goals scored by these three strikers alone has exceeded the overall league goals of many teams. What an embarrassment for them.

Notts County's excellent performance in the league has made fans expect the team to make a difference in the cup competition, and the club naturally has this consideration.

As a result, in the fourth round of the League Cup home game against League One team Manchester City, the Meadow Lane stadium was full again, and countless fans who could not buy tickets could only watch the real-time screen on the big screen outside the stadium. And the fans in the stands cheered for the team.

For Manchester City, David is not familiar with it anymore, although what he is familiar with is the local tyrant Manchester City in his previous life, so it is useless!

Manchester City, who ranked 17th last season tragically relegated from the Premier League, are destined to be re-promoted to the Premier League as their biggest goal in the new season, and their strength is also unique in League One. They have an excellent record. They are currently ranked in League One. Top of the league standings.

David knows that at the end of this season, they will return to the Premier League. Even if Manchester City is not a Premier League giant, they have the strength to stand in the Premier League.

And if David remembers correctly, **** player Sun Jihai will transfer to Manchester City in this winter transfer period and become the banner of Chinese overseas players.

No one knows how much energy Manchester City, which is currently aiming for league promotion, will invest in the League Cup. Even if it wants to draw conclusions from the first two rounds, it is impossible to do so, because the second and third rounds of the Manchester City League Cup The opponents are all low-level teams, and even if the reserve team and youth team are sent, they can easily advance.

In any case, Notts County, which aims to win the championship, must aim to defeat its opponents. After all, even two Premier League teams have been sacked, and they are afraid of a quasi- Premier League team that may not be able to fight with themselves?

But it seems that God is going to have a hard time with Notts County. It's just a matter of consecutively drawing strong teams in the League Cup, but what does it mean to let these strong teams die?

Regardless of whether they met Middlesbrough or Blackburn, they were all full of energy, and they didn't seem to pay attention to the League Cup at all. God knows why these guys are still so vigorous in the case of a three-week match.

This game seems to be the same, even though Manchester City just played a league game four days ago, and three days later there will be another league game, they still send their entire main lineup, and they will fight against Notts County. .

Manchester City will not be clear about Notts County's current strength, but they still do it. Is it just to avenge Middlesbrough and Blackburn who were eliminated by Notts County?

This is a bit too much to say!

Maybe they think that the team that the Premier League team can't beat has been beaten by them. From another angle, it is declared that Manchester City should have a foothold in the Premier League.

Other than that, David couldn't think of any other reason.

But this is also good. Playing a strong team in a row can make the team grow rapidly, which is extremely beneficial to the club and the players.

At the beginning of the game, Notts County launched a fierce attack with the advantage of the home game, and defeated the somewhat careless Manchester City main lineup, and scored a goal by Di Natale in the 15th minute.

Although Manchester City was very important before the game, coach Keegan still stubbornly believed that the two consecutive Premier League teams were eliminated by Notts County for a number of reasons. First, Notts County did have a certain amount of strength. The team does not attach importance to cup games and Notts County, and the third is the factor of luck.

It is precisely because of Keegan's attitude that lies between the emphasis and contempt,

This has led to the bad situation of Manchester City. Perhaps they have forgotten that their strength is not as good as the two Premier League teams.

After being led by Notts County, Keegan became furious on the sidelines and shouted to the players on the field. Even if it was not to the extent of swearing, he also felt that Souness and McLaren were once promised by their peers. The humiliating mentality of Ibaraki's victory.

But the strength of Manchester City itself is not much higher than that of Notts County. In addition, the state of Notts County, which is playing at home, has always been bursting.

Although neither of the two sides scored in the first half, as long as anyone who understands the ball can see that, in fact, there is not much for Manchester City to take Notts County. To be able to concede only one goal in the first half is more Thanks to the brave performance of the Manchester City goalkeeper.

At half-time, Keegan scolded the Manchester City players in the dressing room, without caring about the feelings of the players. Of course, he has the right to do so, but the question is, how can this help?

Notts County still took the initiative in the second half, and Loew had already explained at midfield that they should continue to speed up their offensive rhythm, because Manchester City's physical fitness will definitely go wrong under repeated battles. As long as Notts County wins another game, There is not much suspense in the game, and Notts County also needs to prepare for the next game.

Some people may say that Low is too arrogant, and even a quasi-Premier League team like Manchester City, which is at the top of the League One table, does not look down on it, but in fact, Notts County is indeed better than Manchester City.

As the fitness of Manchester City players declined, Notts County seized the opportunity and scored the goal to seal the victory.

Keegan sat back to the coaching bench helplessly. He knew that the suspense of this game had been killed. Perhaps earlier, Manchester City had lost hope of promotion.

Next, the two sides adjusted their lineups by coincidence, saving their strength for the following games.

After the game, Keegan said in an interview that the strength of Notts County should not really be measured at the league level. He was glad that Notts County was not in the League One this season, otherwise it would now be ranked in the League One standings. The team may not be Manchester City.

When he said this, Keegan was a little frustrated. It was not easy for a very arrogant person to admit defeat. Once upon a time, Keegan, who led Newcastle, did not even care about Manchester United.

After this game, Notts County was officially given a nickname - the Giant Slayer.

He has eliminated three Premier League-level teams in the League Cup in a row. Well, Manchester City is barely at this level. Such a title is not too much.

Some people may say that the three teams are not giants, but this is to be compared.

Isn't three Premier League teams considered giants for a League Two team?
