After knocking out Inter Milan and reaching the Champions League final, Notts County relied on their momentum to win Birmingham and Aston Villa in the league in one go, continuing to lead the standings strongly.
Chelsea, the chaser behind, seemed to have completely lost their energy after being eliminated by Barcelona, and had two consecutive rounds of draws. As a result, the point gap between Chelsea and Notts County has reached 12 points, and there are still four league rounds left. Under the circumstances, the Blues only have a theoretical hope of winning the championship.
No one thought that Chelsea would collapse in just over a week. They were eliminated from the Champions League and missed the semi-finals. The league lost hope of winning the championship. It is destined that the Blues will be empty this season. The performance was very strong throughout the season, but lost in this week or so.
As long as Notts County scores one point in the remaining four games, they will defend the league title ahead of schedule and achieve three consecutive Premier League titles.
In the Premier League era, only Ferguson's Manchester United achieved this feat in the three seasons of 98-01, and now Notts County has to achieve this achievement. Obviously, the dynasty of Notts County is coming!
Even if some people don't like Notts County, they have to admit that Notts County's performance is worthy of the championship.
Although Notts County ushered in another wave of devil football next, the clarity of the league situation directly turned the devil football into nothingness. They can completely transfer all their energy to the Champions League and the FA Cup.
On April 4th, the FA Cup semi-final, Notts County faced Middlesbrough, which was a semi-final held at a neutral venue.
Middlesbrough's coach McLaren has confirmed that he will enter the England national team after the World Cup, so this season will be his last season in charge of Middlesbrough. Naturally, he hopes to leave something for Middlesbrough, the FA Cup The championship is probably the best parting gift!
However, Middlesbrough was unlucky and encountered the most terrifying enemy, Notts County. McLaren felt that he might not be able to fulfill his final wish!
If Notts County is in a stalemate in the league, it may be impossible to give up the FA Cup, but now that the Magpies have almost won the championship, they will naturally attach great importance to the FA Cup. not coming!
At the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Notts County did not give Middlesbrough any chances. Kaka and Villa both scored twice. Drogba, who came off the bench, also scored. The Magpies beat Middlesbrough with five goals and advanced FA Cup final.
There is not much suspense in the game itself. Maybe a team can attack Notts County, but it is definitely not Middlesbrough in the middle of the Premier League.
Countless media have begun to sing praises to Notts County again. Not to mention the four championships that Notts County has won before, the league has almost won the trophy, the FA Cup has reached the final, and the Champions League has also broken into In the semi-finals, Notts County really wants to catch all the champions!
It seems that since the rise of Notts County, there has never been only one champion in a season.
In the first season of being promoted to the Premier League, Notts County won the European Super Cup Champions League, the Premier League champion, the UEFA Cup champion, and the Triple Crown;
Last season, Notts County won the European Super Cup, the Community Shield, the League Cup, the Premier League, the Champions League, and the five crowns;
The gold content of Notts County's treble and five crowns is not low. The Premier League champion, UEFA Cup champion, and Champions League champion all need a season of outstanding performance to win, at least definitely better than Liverpool's five crowns High gold content.
The honors won by Notts County in several seasons can almost match all the honors won in many centuries-old history!
It is already difficult to find suitable words to describe the strength of Notts County. It is a tragedy for all clubs to have such an opponent.
In another FA Cup semi-final at the end of the second day, Benitez's Liverpool defeated Everton and entered the final. As a result, the FA Cup final matchup was also freshly released!
What makes people speechless is that Notts County and Liverpool have met again.
One FA Cup final, two UEFA Champions League semi-finals, plus the second round of the league clash that has not yet been held between the two sides, that is to say, Notts County and Liverpool will face each other four times in the next month.
Nima is so boring!
Do you want to be so lingering?
This season Notts County is really on the shoulders with Liverpool!
I just don't know who is happy and who is depressed between Loew and Benitez, and I don't know if the two will go to the bar together to conspire to get drunk after these four games!
There used to be a record of two Premier League teams meeting five times in one season, but it is very rare to have played so many times in such a short period of time. Notts County and Liverpool may have to fight directly to throw up!
Some people even suspect that if they play four games in a month, they will be familiar with each other, and it may happen that they treat their opponents as teammates in the last game!
What two teams love each other!
On April 4th, in the penultimate round of the league, Notts County played against Liverpool at home. This was the first of the four matchups and the least important one.
Notts County has almost locked the championship. The outcome of the game has little effect, and it is not a particularly critical battle for Liverpool. The Red Army already has a large lead in the league. Arsenal, who are distracted by the Champions League, are thrown away by them If there is a certain gap, a game has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Perhaps this game is a test for the two sides to each other, and the next three contests are the real key battles.
Notts County sent a lineup dominated by young players. Several main players, a few substitutes and a few teenagers formed the starting lineup for this game. Obviously Loew did not go all out, it was more like using this The game is the same as training the team.
And Benitez also did not send all the main lineup, but considering the morale issue, Benitez does not want to lose this game, so he is still very cautious.
The game itself was very exciting. Neither side was deliberately conservative. They presented a visual feast for the fans at the Magpie Stadium. Moreover, the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding in the result, and it was a tie.
For both parties, this may be the best result!
Notts County scored one point to secure the league championship. The team did not lose the game without sending most of the main players. It is an ideal result for the next game;
The same is true for Liverpool. It is enough to not lose and affect morale while preserving strength!
Everyone knows that this game is not important, what matters is the next game.
Three days later, it was the second confrontation between the two sides, the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
