When Notts County came to Italy, Moratti also invited David to dinner, or he would rather have a chat with David.
But this dinner was not pleasant. For an old man who is always stubborn, David really has no desire to communicate. Maybe when Moratti knows how to make a club run well when he shoots, they will There is more common language.
In the second round of the away game against Inter Milan, Loew did not send a full lineup. After all, the result of the first round was very favorable for Notts County. In any case, the advantage of the three goal difference is like a mountain, overwhelming the international team. Milan can't breathe at all. I believe that Inter Milan at this time does not have the spirit of Mourinho.
A defensive counterattack tactic and formation let Inter Milan show its true colors. Without an effective midfield organization, several forwards fought independently. They had all their strength but fell into the quagmire of Notts County's defense. There was no room for development. Such a predicament really embarrasses and helpless a group of world-class forwards.
In the end, Notts County defended a tie with the least cost and advanced to the top four of the UEFA Cup this season. Inter Milan can only taste the bitter fruit of the season's fruitless season.
On the second day after the Notts County team returned to England, Loew gave the players a day off very thoughtfully. During the double-line sprint stage, being able to enjoy a day off was even better than sending more than one day to the players. A week's salary is more than happy.
But at this time, the coaching staff is not so easy, because at this time Notts County's opponent in the UEFA Cup semi-finals is also freshly released. This time, Notts County's opponent in the semi-finals is the Catalan giants Barcelona .
Before the start of the UEFA Cup this season, Barcelona, which had poor league results last season, made bold statements that it would win the UEFA Cup this season.
This is not the end. Notts County, the defending champion of the UEFA Cup, has become worthless in Barcelona's mouth. It has been belittled from all aspects of background, performance, lineup, etc., as if despising Notts County can make them win the championship.
At that time, David had a verbal confrontation with Barcelona, that is, they fought for a while. In the end, the two sides let go of their words and used their strength to speak when they met together.
Unexpectedly, this scene became a reality. The two teams actually met in the semi-finals. This meant a fight!
It seems that my time travel has really brought about a big change in the direction of football. At least in his previous life, David didn’t remember that Barcelona reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup this season. It seems that before the dream team matured, Catalo The Niah giants haven't achieved good results for many years.
But since it is a wonderful thing to be able to compete with the immature Barcelona, if this group of people's congress collapses, will it be that when the second dream team matures, it will be psychologically frightened when they meet Notts County?
Before the first round against Barcelona, Notts County still has three league games to play. Arsenal are not chasing points in the league, so when there are still two rounds left in the league, Arsenal, who are still 6 points away from Nuo's move, may only have a theoretical hope of winning the championship.
So Notts County transferred the current back to the Premier League again. Each of these three games is a key battle to win the championship, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
Since Arsenal's game is on Saturday and Notts County is on Sunday, there is always a certain psychological advantage to playing later. After Notts County finished training on Saturday, all the players went home and crouched in front of the TV. Watch the Arsenal game.
The schedule is very favorable for Notts County. The opponents in these three games are Middlesbrough, Birmingham and Everton. It can be said that the fighting spirit is not strong, and it is not difficult for Notts County to achieve a good result.
But Arsenal's schedule is a bit sad. These three rounds of the league are also very important to them. Today's game against Chelsea is a contest between second place and No. 3. If Arsenal lose, they will lose because of the goal difference. This is definitely not the result they want to see.
But now Chelsea is a very strong team, not inferior to Arsenal, and they are not without a chance to break Arsenal's undefeated gold at home.
So this game is the best time for Notts County to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and Arsenal has only one way to win, otherwise the hope of winning the championship is really slim.
For Arsenal, this is not the end. After the focus battle with Chelsea is over, the next league game will not be played immediately. In this interval, there will be a Champions League knockout match with Chelsea. That is to say, within four days, Arsenal will have two peak duels with Chelsea, and the decisive stages are the Premier League and the Champions League.
The result of the first round of the confrontation between the two sides is not ideal for Arsenal, and their lineup thickness is far behind the rich Chelsea, so these two consecutive fierce battles may be a watershed for them, or they can catch up in the league with all their strength. Notts County, or Chelsea in the Champions League, want to make a difference in both games, it is a bit too difficult for them.
David doesn't know what choice Wenger will make. Compared to this time, no one will give up any fronts. After working hard for a season, is it just because of two games?
Sure enough, in this contest between No. 2 and No. 3 in the standings, Arsenal, who played away, was in a state of desperation.
Of course, Chelsea is not a vegetarian either. The cunning Ranieri ordered the whole team to retreat. There is offense and defense.
Arsenal failed to make a strong attack, which hurt morale, and Chelsea also had scruples because of the Champions League match. Neither side was able to score. In the end, the two teams shook hands and made peace, each scoring one point.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Notts County players squatting in front of the TV jumped up in unison. This result is undoubtedly the most beneficial for Notts County. Competing fishermen.
