Chapter 40 Chasing Dreams and Hearts

Guardiola, who attended the post-match press conference, only felt comfortable. Today, it was as if the sun had come out from the west. Not to mention Patricia and Elena, two of Notts County's own people, even "Daily Mail" reporter's questions are very comfortable.

Guardiola feels that if this is the case in the future, even without Wei Xun, he is fully capable of dealing with these media people.

In fact, as long as the team wins, Guardiola will feel confident when he attends the press conference, and he will naturally answer questions with confidence.

After the fifth round of the league, Notts County has finally taken a big step forward in the ranking, surpassing Wycombe Wanderers, Cambridge United, Swindon and other teams, and ranked 11th in the League Two. The top ten is just around the corner.

In addition to the team's win, the Notts County club also ushered in another good news: Notts County's offensive core, 17-year-old Sneijder was selected for the new Dutch U19 national team. Between the 9th and the 6th, you have to play for your country.

The No.1 national team player for New Notts County was born.Wei Xun has arranged for the staff of Notts County to write this in the memorabilia of the showroom.

在斯内德离队参加国际比赛期间，诺茨郡需要打2场比赛：9月8号英乙联赛第六轮客场挑战彼得伯勒联队、9月10号英锦标第一轮客场挑战布莱克浦，而斯内德也将在打完联赛杯第二轮与阿斯顿维拉的比赛之后立即启程与荷兰U19国家队会合。

For Notts County, which has three consecutive away games in the next League Cup, a proper rotation is definitely the best choice.

Representing the national team is the dream of every young player. If you reject the youth national team from the beginning, it will undoubtedly affect the player's future in the adult national team. Therefore, after communicating with Guardiola and Sneijder himself, Wei With a swipe of his pen, Xun let him go.

Notts County is a low-level team with a lot of young players. The exposure rate is far worse than that of the top teams. In order for players to be selected for the national team, in addition to their state and efficiency, they also need a good relationship between the club and the national team. Xun's move undoubtedly gave the other young Notts County players a good start.

When Wei Xun visited the forum in his previous life, he learned about the details of the FA's schedule, but whenever he saw Notts County's schedule, he always felt that his team had been drifting away from home, and he was also in his heart. Quite critical:
The FA has a set of established rules for the formulation of the schedule, which has been strictly enforced since 1982.They will divide the first half of the game into 5 groups, and in the second half, they will shuffle the order of these 5 groups.

任何5场比赛都必须以3主2客或是2主3客来进行，除非是有足总杯、联赛杯、英锦标等比赛的介入，否则一支队伍连续在主场或客场出战的场次绝对不能超过2场，而且每支球队在联赛的开局和结尾

Nor will they play 2 consecutive home or away games.Just imagine, a relegation team is in dire straits and desperately needs to grab points. If they encounter 2-3 away games in a row, if they lose, the morale of the entire team will plummet. This is very unfair in comparison. .

In addition, the Football Association also pays attention to the schedule of Boxing Day. If you want to enjoy the game at home on Christmas, then sorry, on New Year's Day, you can only go to the away game to support your team.

At the same time, the FA will try to be reasonable and fair in terms of the number of matches played by each team on Saturday and the home and away games. , may make the work of scheduling difficult.

If the three-game schedule is only a test of the physical fitness of Notts County players, then for Notts County, where no one is available, Guardiola is the clever woman who has no rice to cook:

Sneijder, representing the Dutch U19 national team in international competitions, missed the sixth round of the league and the first round of the British Championship; Barzagli received a red card in the fourth round of the league and was suspended for two additional games. Eight rounds of the league can only be played, and he can only play in cup games; Harvey Alonso also received a yellow card in the fifth round of the league, and the cumulative number of yellow cards has reached 2 times, with an average of one yellow card per game, missing the sixth round of the league; Both Ben and Iniesta are still recovering from their injuries and will be absent from the game indefinitely.

Robben, Iniesta, Barzagli, Sneijder, Harvey Alonso and other generals will not be able to play. In order to avoid the accident of insufficient personnel in this away trip, Guardiola decided to All the young players that Wei Xun had inspected in the youth training camp before were brought to the Aston Villa team bus: attacking midfielder Cory Bucalosi, defensive midfielder Anthony Aiert, full-back Eddie Taylor, who can play at center back.

Except for Cory Bukalosi who is 16, the other two little guys are 17.The Notts County first team is almost all teenagers under the age of 20, so 16-year-old Corey Bukalosi can go with the team, and no one will say that Wei Xun is trying to encourage the young.

According to old Grant, Eddie Taylor's grandfather and Notts County first-team defender Maurice Taylor's grandfather are true brothers. The football circle in Nottingham is really too small.

Wei Xun thought of the fun stories about the pine and the forest in the Nordic countries that are often talked about by fans in later generations, as well as the jokes about Feng Xiaoting and Zhao Xuri who were foolishly unclear. It is also possible to get two Taylors in the back line. Humans, the grandparents are brothers, so these two people are somewhat alike, right?
In fact, when Wei Xun played football games in his previous life, he saw someone post a lineup consisting of "Taylor" in the live football bar:

Goalkeeper Mike Taylor (played for Premier League Southampton); five defenders Matthew Taylor (Premier League Burnley), Ryan Taylor (Premier League Newcastle United), Jermaine Taylor (Major League Portland Timbers) Work), Neil Taylor (Swansea Premier League), Charlie Taylor (Burnley Premier League); Jack Taylor (played for Premier League Reading), Paul Taylor (from Manchester City youth training) in midfield ), Marty Taylor (played for Portsmouth in the Premier League), forward Martin Taylor (selected for the England U-21 national team), Dan Taylor (Newcastle United in the Premier League), head coach Graham Taylor (Wall Tford coach, beat the Chinese team twice).

In addition, Wei Xun knew footballers named Taylor, including the late Liverpool legend Phil Taylor, the famous football commentator Martin Taylor, and England football referee Anthony Taylor.

It is okay to put players with the same surname together in the game, but in reality, the strength of these players is uneven, and the team's record cannot be guaranteed.

Aston Villa is currently ranked 8th in the Premier League. Notts County went to the Birmingham area this time, with the determination to win, and also prepared to lose.

There are currently three teams in the Birmingham area: Birmingham, Aston Villa, and West Bromwich Albion.As the city with the largest young population in Europe and the second largest city in England after London, Birmingham's football market has always been very good. The sufficient football population and fan base have created considerable ticket revenue and overflowing youth training players. It also allowed the three teams to respect each other and flourish together in the Birmingham area.

The aforementioned head coach Graham Taylor, who once led Watford to defeat the Chinese national team twice in the warm-up match, once coached Aston Villa and is a well-deserved star of the team.

阿斯顿维拉历史上赢得过1次欧冠冠军、1次欧洲超级杯冠军、7次英格兰顶级联赛冠军、7次足总杯冠军、5次联赛杯冠军还有1次社区盾杯的冠军，是英格兰足坛的老牌强队，英格兰国内顶级赛事冠军大满贯得主之一。

Young people are bloody and aggressive, but it doesn't mean that they lose their minds and can be arrogant and feel that "I am invincible".According to Wei Xun, Notts County came here to fulfill a dream, create a miracle, try their best to play the game well, and show their mental outlook in front of the Premier League fans. As for the rest, it depends on fate.

The League Cup is a one-on-one elimination event between football clubs at all levels in England. In the League Cup, there are often upsets where low-level clubs eliminate high-level clubs.

Because for top Premier League clubs such as Manchester United and Arsenal, in addition to participating in the Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup, they also have to participate in the lucrative European Champions Cup or UEFA Cup. If the state and luck are good, All the way to the finals, the total number of games for the entire team in a season will reach 70 games, an average of two games a week. The players are not hard-core, and even the robots run out of power.

There is no winter break in the English league at this time, and the players in the Premier League teams are basically the main international footballers of various countries. Rest will also increase their risk of injury and have a great impact on a player's career.

Some clubs with tight league records will put more energy into the league. Otherwise, if their main players are injured due to participation in the cup and they are unfortunately relegated, what if they win the cup?It's just a loss of watermelon to pick up sesame seeds. The gain outweighs the gain. After all, staying in the Premier League can maximize one's own benefits.The competition in England's second-tier league is also very fierce. How long it takes to return after relegation is no longer up to the clubs and players themselves.

For a club like Aston Villa, which ranks in the middle of the Premier League, winning the league championship not only depends on the strength of the team but also requires a certain amount of luck.In the case that big clubs such as Manchester United do not attach importance to cup competitions, it is also a strategy to win the League Cup or the FA Cup and qualify for the European War.

But we in Notts County are also a group of dream chasers!
