Chapter 470

Chapter 470

Originally, according to the plan, Notts County should have another game against the South Korean national team before the start of the season. However, because the South Korean K-League is in progress, they can only find the league to gather intermittently and come to England for the game, so this warm-up match is postponed. After the Community Shield, before the start of the Premier League, it was the last warm-up match for Notts County before the start of the new season.

Of course, not many people would pay much attention to this irrelevant warm-up match, except for David

David had wanted to teach the sticks a lesson for a long time, and he even felt a little radical that there was no need for the Bangzi Kingdom to exist except for women.

But the most important thing right now is to compete with Manchester United in the Community Shield. They lost to Manchester United last season. Even though this championship title is not very valuable, Notts County still hopes to succeed in revenge and let Notts County honor There is one more championship trophy in the room, even if this championship trophy is destined to be placed in an inconspicuous corner, they got it with their own hands.

Perhaps in the past, compared with the behemoth Manchester United, Notts County was no different from ants, but now, the situation seems to have a tendency to reverse, and Notts County is stronger.

Last season was a season for Manchester United to sink. Notts County has always been accompanied by Arsenal and Chelsea on the road to winning the championship, but they have never found that Manchester United can pose any threat to themselves.

Although Manchester United invested heavily in the introduction of Lu Xiaopang this season, it still cannot change the imperfect configuration of the old and young in the team. The main lineup is still the least competitive among the few giants, even if Ferguson is the most What he is good at is turning an ordinary team into a team with a championship temperament, but the current situation in the Premier League may still make him feel powerless.

Everyone is not optimistic about Notts County's ability to defend the Premier League title because of the fact that the strength of Notts County's rotation lineup has dropped significantly, but they have never denied that Notts County's main lineup. I am afraid that Notts County still has the biggest chance of winning. Compared with Manchester United, even Arsenal, which has maintained the integrity of the lineup, may not be able to please it!

Notts County's competitors this season are still Arsenal and Chelsea, not Manchester United!

If David remembers correctly, under Mourinho's leadership this season, Chelsea won the league championship with a tough stance, while Arsenal could only catch up powerlessly. As for Manchester United, they withdrew from the competition early up!

The odds offered by the gaming company before the game also proved this point, Manchester United is not optimistic.

Arriving in Wales two days in advance, the Notts County players rested for one night, and then went on the field training the next day, waiting for the game on the third night.

Notts County players are already very familiar with Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, the venue for England's important season.

Perhaps no club has been more familiar with this field than Notts County in a short period of time.

In the League Two season, Notts County won the League Cup, and the final was held at this venue;

In the League One season, Notts County won the FA Cup, and the semi-finals and finals were also held at this venue;

In the Premier League season, although Notts County did not win the domestic cup, they played the Community Shield as the FA Cup champion;

In other words, Notts County has entered this field four times in three seasons, and this is the fifth time.

So compared to other clubs, Notts County is obviously more familiar with Cardiff Millennium Stadium than other clubs.

In the previous four games, Notts County only lost to Manchester United in the Community Shield last season, and still lost on penalties. The so-called South Stand curse was also hit by Notts County twice. Broken, it can be regarded as the blessed land of Notts County.

Perhaps it was the signings in the summer that gave Ferguson enough confidence. At the press conference before the game, Sir Alex announced in a high-profile manner the goal of Manchester United this season, the Premier League and the Champions League double.

As for this game, Ferguson smiled slightly: "Since we can beat Notts County here last season, there is no reason for us to let Notts County leave happily today. You must know that victory has inertia!"

But before Loew frowned and refuted, the reporters in the audience had already choked up the old man for him.

"Last season, Manchester United was defeated by Notts County at the start of the league. Is it possible that Manchester United will repeat the same mistakes this season?"

One sentence made Ferguson's good mood disappear without a trace, and the final press conference broke up unhappy.

Manchester United fans are very supportive of their beloved Scottish old man, and they also agree with Ferguson's statement that this season is destined to be a season of Manchester United's revival.

Rooney, a once-in-a-thousand-year genius, has already been taken into their pockets. Who else can't be defeated?

You must know that Lu Xiaopang scored 4 goals in the European Championship in the summer, and even the defense of the European powerhouses was crushed by Lu Xiaopang. Is there still a defense in the Premier League that can limit Rooney?

With this kind of good expectation, or the strong psychological hint they gave themselves, Manchester United fans began to look forward to this Community Shield Cup game. They hoped that the team could give promise in the Community Shield Cup like last season. Notts County is a harsh lesson, and if they can beat Notts County, it will prove that Manchester United really wants to revive. You know, Notts County was the Premier League champion last season!

But the wishes of Manchester United fans are doomed to fail, and Ferguson's new season goal was directly hit by Notts County. After this game, Manchester United has calmed down a lot from top to bottom.

In this game, Manchester United formed the most ideal lineup in Ferguson's mind. Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy on the front line, only one position in the midfield has changed. It is exactly the same as last season's main lineup.

Are Manchester United stronger?

David doesn't think so!

Rooney and Van Nistelrooy's David may not be more offensive than the arrangement of Van Nistelrooy in front and Scholes in ambush at the back, and Heinze has been unstable for a long time since he came to Manchester United. Keane's physical condition has declined sharply, and Manchester United's ability to maintain the strength of last season is considered a consummation.

Although Notts County replaced Iniesta and Westerman as two starters, the replacement Ribéry and Lescott are not inferior in strength. The most important thing is that Notts County is full of young players. The players are all in a period of high-speed growth, far from reaching their peak state, and after another season of improvement, Notts County's starting strength can be said to be steadily improving.

In such a comparison, even with Sir Alex's magic bonus, the strength gap between the two teams has not decreased, but has widened slightly.
