Chapter 69 League Cup Top 4

After this round of the League Cup, the top four clubs were officially released.

Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Sheffield Wednesday, and Notts County, this is the top four of the 2001-02 English League Cup.

Many fans were stunned to find that not a single giant club remained in the League Cup semi-finals, and there were actually two non-Premier League teams.

Manchester United was eliminated by Arsenal in the third round, while Arsenal were smothered by Notts County in the quarter-finals, and Liverpool was KO by League One team Gusby early.

Although the League Cup is known as a hotbed of unpopularity, usually, there are also shadows of giants in the semi-finals, but this season has completely subverted this impression.

Two clubs in the middle of the Premier League, a strong League One team, and a League Two club. If we go back to history, this League Cup semi-final configuration can even be called the weakest in history.

Let’s not mention the two Premier League teams for the time being. Sheffield Wednesday’s road to promotion for the League One team is not so bumpy. Although they were not lucky enough to walk all the way, they only met two Premier League teams in the first few rounds. , In the case of the opponent's strategic abandonment, they advanced all the way smoothly, and the opponent in the quarter-finals was just Watford, who was also a League One team.

But Notts County's road to promotion seems extremely great. Three Premier League teams, including top giants like Arsenal, have to face opponents who go all out in every game, and they can advance to the semi-finals. Just a miracle, an epic miracle.

Sometimes fate is so elusive, maybe it's hard work, in short, Notts County doesn't need to face two Premier League clubs in the League Cup semi-final, because the Magpies' opponent is Sheffield Wednesday.

Many fans are questioning the result of this draw, because how this result is viewed has the shadow of man-made manipulation, because it means that in the League Cup final, there will inevitably be a non-Premier League club.

It's hard to say if this is a ghost of the FA to increase the attention. Although the strong dialogue in the final will be more eye-catching, but after the semi-finals are released, I don't think the final will be an intense game. , so simply change to an alternative way.

Non-top professional league teams advance to the finals, so there is something to watch!

Perhaps an upset, this non-top professional league team won the championship, and will represent the English League in the UEFA Cup next season!

No matter whether the outside world is noisy or not, Notts County doesn't care, because their victory is spelled out with sweat, and no one can deny Notts County's strength and efforts.

On the night of the end of the game, the fans of Notts County held a grand parade, as if they had won the championship. The fans of Notts County have been accustomed to rough meals by hanging around in the lower leagues all the year round, and they are satisfied with the small rich. Ann's life, but accidentally one day won the second prize in the lottery, it would be happier than winning the first prize, and now Notts County has advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup, which is equivalent to winning the lottery.

Fans of rivals Mansfield and Nottingham Forest in the same city are sour in their hearts, but they express disdain, mocking Notts County fans who have never seen the world. A League Cup semi-finalist is so excited that if they win the championship, they will not go to heaven. what!

The Notts County fans looked down with a victorious attitude, and attacked the two rival clubs without leaving any room. Just look up at the winner. In the face of powerful strength, your best choice is to be silent, so that no one will treat you as a ****.

The League Cup quarter-finals were just a blip in the season, the heat soon passed, and Notts County's eyes shifted back to the league.

There are only two league and FA Cup replays before Christmas, but to the dismay of the players, on December 26, the day after Christmas,

There is still a League Two to play, and this is a top battle for rankings. Their opponent is the dark horse Brighton.

Counting the league on December 22, that means Notts County players have a maximum of three days off on Christmas Day, and that's without regard to training, if Low were to play the day before the Brighton game When it comes to training, it actually means that the team is in training on Christmas Day.

David doesn't have much sense of substitution for Christmas, because it is a foreigner's holiday, and his bones are still yellow.

But he also understands the mentality of the players, so he is considering whether to communicate with the league organizing committee and try to postpone the game, even if it is just postponed for a day.

However, he also knew, I am afraid that with the status of Notts County, this kind of application will be rejected in all likelihood. Adjusting the season is not a simple matter. There are too many things that need to be coordinated. If Notts County It is a Premier League giant, and on the grounds of the European war, it is possible to be approved, but it is Christmas on my own side, and there is absolutely no drama.

In the twenty-second round of the league, Notts County beat Chesterfield 5:0 away.

The few absolute main players who did not get the chance to start in the League Cup are trying to vent their frustrations about not getting the chance to perform in the League Cup, so Chesterfield was unlucky.

The starting Hubner and Villa both scored twice, and Di Natale, who came off the bench, also scored the icing on the cake. Notts County's striker showed extremely sharp fangs.

In other games in this round of the league, the chasers behind Notts County have all won. Although the process may be difficult, at least they have not been left behind, whether it is Brighton or Mansfield. , are gritting their teeth and insisting, no one wants to be the first to fall behind.

After this round, Notts County ushered in a replay of the second round of the FA Cup at home, and the opponent was Maggsfield, who they could not win on the road.

The draw on the road was a humiliation for the Notts County players, and that game taught them a vivid lesson in keeping a heart of humiliation at all times.

In an interview before the game, Alonso said that this game is a battle of redemption. They have to bow and apologize to the fans who went away to cheer for the team with the team. They failed their expectations because of their inflation. In the game, they will definitely win the opponent quickly and neatly, and dedicate the victory to the fans as an early Christmas gift.
