Chapter 758 Final

After Notts County landed in Japan, they only took a night’s rest and threw themselves into training. They didn’t even have time to get over the jet lag. There was no way. The schedule is like this.щww{][lā}

In the first knockout round that night, the Asian champion Etihad defeated the African champion Al Ahli, and the Central and North American champion Costa Rican club Saprisa defeated the Oceania champion Sydney; in this way, the semi-final match was also released, The Etihad will take on Sao Paulo, Saprissa will take on Notts County, and the winner of the next two games will go to the final.

Notts County is not at all familiar with Saprissa, a central and North American club, but judging from the opponent's first game, the strength is at most in the middle and lower reaches of the UK, and it is difficult to pose any threat to Notts County, so half The final game even if Notts County sends more young people to train the team is not a problem.

Even if the Toyota Cup becomes the Club World Cup, Notts County's real opponent is only the South American team Sao Paulo. I remember that in the previous life, it was like this year's Club World Cup. Liverpool eventually lost to Sao Paulo, although there may be Liverpool It is a factor of importance, but it also shows that the strength of Sao Paulo is not bad.

If it wasn't for the seventh crown, Notts County might not pay attention to this tasteless event, but now, I'm sorry, Notts County has won the championship!

Of course, there is another factor in this. When David and the Big Three of Bayern were inspecting the South American club, they were treated as fools and fooled for a long time. Although this is not a deep hatred, but when they have the opportunity to teach their opponents, it is still To play.

On the evening of February 5th, the semi-final of Notts County officially started. Because Notts County has a very high popularity in Japan, the stands of the game were full, and the fans were so enthusiastic that they even felt that they were not inferior to the Magpies Stadium at all. atmosphere.

However, Notts County did not send too many main players in this game. Only captain Alonso and goalkeeper Joe Hart played, and there were a few rotation players left. Of course, there were three other players: aZp, Bell and Smalling. Small players, this kind of game is the most suitable for them to exercise.

Even if Notts County sends such a lineup, Saprisa is still not the opponent of Notts County. With the cheering of Japanese fans, Notts County scored two goals in the first half, and in the second half, in order to take care of the local fans Emotionally, Loew 6 continued to replace several main players, and the overall situation of the game has been determined.

The game was won cleanly. Although the fans and the media were disappointed to a certain extent without all the main players, they also understood Notts County’s approach. After all, Notts County’s schedule was terrifying to the extreme.

What's more, a game of this level will make Notts County all the main players. Isn't it a bit too conspicuous for the opponent?

The final battle with St. Paul is the real focus. I believe that Notts County will show its real strength at that time.

The club is actively preparing for the game, and David and Soriano are not idle at the top. This time Notts County has received more attention when coming to Japan. Japanese companies have also seen Notts County’s true influence and appeal in Japan. , even better than the top giants such as Manchester United and Real Madrid, and I can't help but move my mind. In a few days, several large international companies have begun to contact Notts County to discuss cooperation and sponsorship.

Commercial development has always been the top priority in team exhibitions. On the basis of improving performance, commercial exhibitions must also be able to keep up. This is David’s understanding.

Although the success of these two seasons has made Notts County make significant progress in business development, it is still a bit worse than a business empire like Manchester United.

At least Manchester United have more than three sponsors, which makes Notts County difficult to match.

Notts County is now targeting Manchester United and Real Madrid, reaching the same level in two years and catching up in four years. This is Notts County's goal.

On September, the final of the Club World Cup officially kicked off. Notts County faced off against the Copa Libertadores champion Sao Paulo. This battle attracted the attention of fans all over the world. Under the vigorous promotion of FIFA, there was even a small World Cup. the meaning of.

In the 1990s, South American football was stronger than European football, as can be seen from the confrontation in the Toyota Cup. At that time, European teams lost more and won less. Even in the new century, the two sides can be evenly divided.

Sao Paulo, a traditional giant, has won the Toyota Cup twice, which is much deeper than Notts County.

However, the strong performance of the emerging giants of Notts County in recent seasons has made them invincible in Europe. They are recognized as the strongest club in Europe. If they can beat Sao Paulo, then this title can become the strongest club in the world!

On the day of the game, the stadium entered a strong atmosphere early. Notts County’s jerseys sold very well in Japan, and the fan base was far stronger than that of Sao Paulo. It can be seen from the distribution of fans in the stands that almost all the stands are dressed in clothes. Notts County fans with black and white striped shirts, as for Sao Paulo fans, maybe there are, but they are really few, and the stadium has become a Notts County stadium again.

In order to thank the Japanese fans, the players of Notts County came to the sidelines to interact with the fans before the warm-up. Although there was no substantial contact, it still aroused greater enthusiasm from the fans.

At the beginning of the game, Notts County, who played half the main force and half the bench, used their best suppressing tactics to press Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo's South American football style is strong, the rhythm is slow, and the players use more foot technology. It's hard to catch the ball.

High pressure in the frontcourt to seize the offensive and defensive transition loopholes. This tried-and-true trick is still very useful in Sao Paulo. The South American team is completely unable to compare with European teams in terms of tactical discipline. In front of Notts County’s strong overall tactics, Sao Paulo is in a comprehensive position. Downwind.

Not long after the start of the game, Notts County opened the scoring by Drogba, and soon after, Ribery cut in and shot, Notts County easily took a two-goal lead.

The Sao Paulo players felt a bit bewildered. It was not that they had not played against European teams, but the fast pace of Notts County made them unable to fight back.

Loew did not play Kaka in this game. After all, it is his home team. Kaka will definitely have deep feelings for Sao Paulo. In his opinion, this game is likely to be a massacre. In order to avoid affecting Kaka. Card's mentality, Loew pressed him on the bench.

Now that the game is on, Kaka is really at a loss when he sits on the bench. In his impression, Sao Paulo is not so fragile, how can it be so vulnerable today!

But even if he is off the field, he can see that Notts County has an absolute advantage. If one catches the loopholes in Sao Paulo, the two teams are not at the same level at all!

This is a frustrating fact!
