Chapter 18 The Powerful Juventus

After a short rest, Notts County's trip to Italy began.

David is also on the plane, because he also wants to go to Juventus to learn. Successful giants have their reasons for success. All he has is a grasp of the future, and the construction of the club is only limited to theory on paper.

The plane is flying at high altitude. If it is those stars with rich experience, they would have already rested in the way they are used to, but the young people in Notts County are like country people who have never seen the world. The liveliness made Loew scratch his head for a while.

No way, these new players in the first team were either in the youth training camp or in the low-level teams before. It was the first time for them to go abroad to play, and excitement was inevitable.

When he got off the plane, he was greeted by Juventus staff at the airport, which was beyond David's expectation.

Juventus did not show arrogance just because Notts County is a League Two team. On the contrary, in David's view, Juventus is enthusiastic, at least they value this traditional friendship.

After the whole team stayed in the hotel for one night, they arranged normal ball training the next morning, and in the afternoon, the whole team visited the Juventus club, which was a friendly activity before the warm-up match.

Compared with the old training base and Meadow Lane Stadium in Notts County, Juventus's infrastructure does not seem to be outstanding. This is also determined by the Italian football environment, because Italian football clubs cannot have their own Home ownership.

Before the game, Juventus chairman Moggi took the time to meet with David. Although it was mostly a face project, David didn't care because he didn't want to have more contact with this schemer, and he also knew that this Moji was really busy at the time.

Moggi is busy with Juventus' summer transfers.

This summer, the old lady really set off a huge wave in the transfer market, which shocked the entire European football world.

The first is to transfer out.

World Footballer Zidane officially joined Real Madrid from Serie A Juventus with a transfer fee of US$6400 million, setting a new transfer fee record in world football.

Super shooter Inzaghi joined AC Milan with a worth of 2250 million US dollars, which is also a win-win deal for all three parties.

In addition, because of the arrival of Buffon, Van der Sar also left Italy to join the Premier League team Fulham. If nothing else, this older and more demonic guy will be brought to Old Trafford by Ferguson in the future. spring.

Although there is a huge amount of transfer income, this summer, Juventus' net income in the transfer market is negative, because the old lady also spends a lot of money when it comes to buying people.

First of all, Buffon and Thuram joined from Parma. The combined value of the two is 7100 million US dollars, which has exceeded Zidane's transfer fee.

Nedved and Salas came from Lazio, and the two cost the Old Lady another $4700 million.

These large-scale transfers require Moggi to manage, and the chairman of Juventus is naturally very busy.

Even when the warm-up match started, Moggi was still not able to be there, but the vice-chairman of Juventus accompanied David to sit in the box to watch the game.

Because he was a guest at someone else's house, David was not easy to be self-willed. Otherwise, according to his temperament, he would definitely watch the game from the coach's bench, and that would be interesting.

I don't know if it is for the purpose of running the team, but Juventus has sent a full lineup. What a valuable experience it is to be able to play against such a luxurious team.

After the start of the game, David's expression gradually became serious, because Notts County was suppressed by Juventus in their own half and bombed indiscriminately within 10 minutes, and there was no room for retaliation.

In the previous three games in England, Notts County did not play well because the technical and tactical system had not yet formed. In this game, Notts County's passivity was not due to the lack of technical and tactical problems.

The players were too nervous, their technical movements were completely deformed, their footsteps were slow, and they didn't even dare to take a step easily when defending.

No way, facing Juventus' luxurious lineup, these young players will inevitably be burdened and nervous. Maybe only Hubner can calm down on the field, because he used to play with Juventus every season in Serie A. Tooth fought twice.

In the 15th minute of the game, the Czech iron man Nedved broke through the middle and then made a pass. Del Piero received the ball before Lescott and Westerman and broke through Notts County. goal, rewriting the score.

After the goal, Del Piero didn't look very excited, but just gave Nedved a high-five to thank him for passing the ball. It seems that the Zebra Prince has no interest in an opponent like Notts County at all. Goal in the match against the opponent, there is no excitement at all.

This feeling of being underestimated made David feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't change this reality at this moment, because Notts County is a low-level team that people can't arouse interest in, this is a fact.

Gritting his teeth, the idea of ​​turning Notts County into the world's top giants once again filled David's mind, which was extremely strong.

The expressions of the players on the field were dazed, and a sense of powerlessness appeared in their hearts. In front of such a powerful opponent, they seemed extremely small, so small that they couldn't summon up the courage to fight against each other.

After the game restarted, Juventus slowed down a little and played more casually in the halftime in Notts County, with wonderful cooperation appearing from time to time, which seemed to be a halftime offensive and defensive drill in an ordinary training session.

At the end of the first half, the score has become 3:0.

In anyone's eyes, this is a very normal score, and this is also the real gap between the rich teams and the low-level teams.

But David would never think so, because his team should never be in this state.

Although these players are still young and immature, you must know that the future achievements of these players will definitely not be inferior to these players on the Juventus field. Notts County really needs time.

Not reconciled, David clenched his fists as he watched the players end in despair. The exposed veins on his arms highlighted his restless heart.

The vice chairman of Juventus next to him seemed to be admiring a game that had nothing to do with him. This indifferent attitude made David even more annoyed.

"Sorry, excuse me!" David apologized, hurriedly left the box, and went straight to the locker room.

When he pushed the door in, Loew was getting angry at the players, criticizing the poor performance of the team in the first half. Most of the players bowed their heads and listened silently. Maybe they were also dissatisfied with their performance. .

"I won't make substitutions in the second half. If you want to continue being humiliated by the opponent on the court, then please continue your performance in the first half!" Seeing David coming in, Loew also ended his speech and threw away After saying a word, leaving the players in the locker room, he walked out first.

When they passed by David, their eyes met, and they both seemed to understand the meaning contained in each other's eyes.
