King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 110 Encounter, White Rose

Chapter 1 Ten Encounters, The White Rose

Notts County, which is on the cusp of the storm, not only did not respond, but instead rested most of the main players in the ninth round of No.20 in the League Two.

Franck Ribery still failed to enter the squad, and the penalty for being late was not light. He was suspended for three games by Notts County. He will definitely not be able to make it to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Winter window new aid Abelardo once again got the chance to start, but this time his partner was replaced by Chiellini.The two cooperated really well, every movement and stillness complemented each other, only allowing Peterborough United to score a goal at the Meadow Lane Stadium.

The problem is that Notts County's offensive performance in this game is still not good.Without the help of Ribery Robbensneijder, Notts County's conventional offensive routines have been unable to break through the opponent's iron defense for a long time, and only scored one goal after nine and 10 minutes of fierce fighting.

A draw was undoubtedly a lie. The journalists who could not get a response from Notts County swooped towards Notts County again like sharks smelling blood.

"The gold dollar football can't be bought successfully, the donkeys in Notts County are poor, and the receipt is a draw!"

This is probably the most agreeable point of view among journalists who follow the British football circle.

The strange thing is that the two big newspapers in Nottingham, the "Nottingham Post" and "Nottingham Evening News", did not choose to speak out, neither criticized nor praised, just kept silent.

Nottingham Forest's performance in League One this season is very struggling, and the hope of upgrading to the Premier League is getting slimmer. The sudden emergence of Notts County at this time seems to have become a fig leaf for the Nottingham media.

In China, fans basically support teams in a constant area, and the concept of a hometown team will not go out of provinces or regions such as Northeast, East China, and North China.

In fact, the English also have a tradition of supporting their hometown teams.It is understandable that the Forest fans in Sherwood turned to support Notts County. After all, they are all Nottinghamshire teams. Whoever performs well will be the face and responsibility of Nottinghamshire.

Nottingham Forest is currently in the League One, has played in the Premier League and won the Champions League. It has always been the strongest team in Nottinghamshire. Notts County is now in the League Two, and Mansfield is still playing in the National League.

According to Notts County's performance this year, it is almost a certainty that they will join forces with Nottingham Forest in League One next year.Although Notts County will definitely not win the Champions League in the short term, the Magpies' game is really good, with many goals, a good stadium atmosphere, free drinking water, and cheap tickets. If you join the official fan club There are various benefits.

Just when everyone was speculating about what heavyweight news the two media outlets in Nottingham were brewing, the result of the FA Cup fourth round draw was like a depth bomb thrown into the stagnant pool of Nottingham.

Notts County's opponent in the fourth round of the FA Cup turned out to be the youth army Leeds United from the Premier League.

In the [-] season, Leeds United ranked fifth in the Premier League. The top four teams were Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea; Last season, Leeds United became the third place in the Premier League, leaving only Manchester United and Arsenal ahead; last season, Leeds United came fourth and Chelsea lost.Not to mention this season, Leeds United is temporarily ranked fourth, ahead of those three old faces.

Ranked among the top five in the Premier League for five consecutive years, Leeds United, an expert in England's youth training, nicknamed the White Rose.

The rivals of the Red Devils Manchester United, a team that makes everyone feel worried when they see it.

This Leeds United team has reached the final four of the European Champions Cup for two consecutive years. It is definitely the strongest team among all the opponents Notts County has encountered so far.

Although Aston Villa and Bolton are also from the Premier League, they are obviously still a notch lower than Leeds United.

Leeds United goalkeeper Nigel Martin is one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the team. Although he has always been Seaman and James' substitute, he is a British national.

The left and right fullbacks Gary Kelly and Ian Hart are both national players of the Irish national team and are uncles and nephews.National team teammates, club teammates, uncles and nephews, the relationship between them is quite complicated.It is worth mentioning that Gary Kelly only played for Leeds United in his career, and he perfectly fulfilled his promise of loyalty. Stick around until he hangs up his boots and retires.

720 million pounds to join the team, and soon became the core of the team's midfielder, the French international midfielder Oliver Dacourt is also a ruthless man.After transferring to Inter Milan, in the absence of Vieira, but one person carried the team's midfielder, which shows that Dacourt's strength is strong.

The two players in the central defender position are even more famous.There were England international Jonathan Woodgate, who later joined Real Madrid, and England international Rio Ferdinand, the number 29 who joined Leeds United's arch-rival Manchester United a few years later.

At this time, Leeds United's frontcourt is very real. Robbie Keane, who spent 1000 to 2014 million pounds to buy back from Inter Milan; Bridges, who once played [-] goals in a single season in the Premier League; Australian history The most successful shooter in the world, Mark Viduka, who played four goals against Liverpool last season; Harry Kewell, who won the Champions League with Liverpool; Later, he was transformed into a midfielder by Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. He also joined Notts County in [-] and started a career as a player and coach. He is also a celebrity in the history of the Notts County club.

With such a difficult team, no one wants to meet it in the cup.

However, Notts County and Leeds United encountered each other!
"Shadow, there must be shady!"

"Is that the damn Jonathan Lawrence and Stanley Davies talking about giving us Notts County the benefit of the cup draw?"

"Who got the convenience?"

Wei Xun was cursing again. He used his office landline and his personal phone to call Jonathan and Stanley, but both showed busy dressing table, which made it clear that he was not going to answer Wei Xun's call.

"It's really a big move on the dog. The wasted pound is like feeding these white-eyed wolves..."

Zhao Tai is the most angry member of the Notts County Five. The officials of the FA, when I was the general manager of Notts County, I did not miss them, but they are too dishonest and took money , why don't you know how to do things?
"Didn't we get the qualification to play at home anyway? Isn't it good?"

Marotta tried to comfort Wei Xun, but it didn't help him.

"Giuseppe, you don't know yet. Leeds United's away record this season is very good. It is currently second only to Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool. Their away record is not very good. They only rank No. 11 in the Premier League. .[-], we seem to have messed up this time..."

"Forehead……"

Marotta also felt very embarrassed. In front of Antolin, the boss of the data analysis center, he had better not show his timidity.

And Antolin Gonzalo's words also made Wei Xun feel even more uncomfortable. How can he play this special game? If he wants to play at home, it will cause disaster.

"Josep, look, should Frank's internal suspension be suspended for one game, and we will continue to implement it after the Leeds United match, okay?"

Wei Xun could only lick his face and beg Guardiola bitterly. Leeds United is a very good touchstone, and there is no need to wait for the end of the season. Notts County's victory over them is the best way to fight back against those unscrupulous reporters.

Guardiola doesn't want Ribery to come back to play in time, but in this way, the prestige and team discipline that he and Wei Xun have finally built up will easily collapse:
"Wei, it's not easy to lead this team now. You asked for it at the beginning. We have to obey orders and prohibitions. Finally, we can come up with a model. We can't break the rules ourselves..."

"Can……"

Wei Xun was on the edge of his mouth, but he couldn't say it. Why did this matter feel so awkward.

"I've watched some game videos. Their goalkeepers sometimes have dirty hands. I think we are practicing long-range shots during this period. There is still a week left. By the way, go to the Meteorological Bureau to check the weather conditions on the day of the game. It would be great if it rained a little..."

Guardiola nodded and agreed. Antolin Gonzalo's suggestion is quite pertinent and has certain practicability.

But Wei Xun sat aside and didn't take it seriously. He wouldn't do such things as begging for rain, but he would water the field, and then loosen the turf near the goal. When Nigel Martin made a save, his feet would A slip, is not flattering.

Thinking about it, whether you want to do this or not depends on Notts County’s preparations for the game this week. The most important thing is that you can’t have both sides of the goal like that. So Wei Xun quickly rejected this proposal in his heart.
