Chapter 70 The Halfway End and Christmas
For Magsfield, being able to draw with Notts County at home is already the greatest success, because they can get a share of the ticket revenue for the rematch, which is their only luxury. To win, even they themselves don't have this idea.

Although Notts County is not a giant in the Premier League, the football market is extremely hot this season. After an FA Cup game, the revenue from the tickets is enough to pay for a small ball like Magsfield, so it is very easy for Magsfield. fulfilled.

Although the captain Alonso stated before the game that he would give the victory to the fans first, due to various considerations of the strength of the opponent, the schedule and the physical fitness of the players, Loew sent a lineup dominated by substitute players. None of the big rosters were included, and they could only sit in the stands and watch the game with the fans. This satisfied the desire of many fans and stars to get in close contact.

However, even with the substitute lineup, Notts County easily crushed the opponent, especially in the context of this atonement, the players played extremely hard.

In the end, the scoreboard at Meadow Lane Stadium showed a bloody score.

15:0
Even though Magsfield did not play with the mentality of winning, the players on the field were still deeply hit by this extremely dazzling score. In fact, Notts County scored double digits in goals By then, the Magsfit players had completely given up resistance.

For Notts County fans, this is a rare feast of goals.

When the first goal came, the fans cheered excitedly, even if the opponent didn't deserve it;

When the second goal appeared, the fans were still screaming with excitement;
The third. . . . . .

the fourth. . . . . .

The fans have gradually become numb to goals, and even they feel that this game is too cruel to the opponent.

It's like eating hamburgers, one or two is enough to fill your stomach, but after eating fifteen, you won't be able to sustain yourself normally.

In any case, the promise to the fans has been fulfilled. As for the mental breakdown of the opponent, Notts County doesn't care, because this is professional football. If you can't even bear the blow, you should find your mother to nurse.

Of course, in cup matches like the League Cup and the FA Cup, it is not uncommon for a big score to appear. It would be a surprise if a wealthy team beat a low-level team by a small score.

After the game, the opponent's coach had an extremely unnatural expression in the interview, even sitting on pins and needles. Now he even has some doubts whether the last draw with Notts County was the right choice.

If they hadn't tied with Notts County in the last game, they wouldn't have been abused in this game. In contrast, only the ticket revenue share of this game can comfort their hearts.

In the last league game before Christmas, Notts County easily won Bournemouth with two goals, which was a perfect ending for the half-time league.

There are a total of 24 clubs in the League Two, and there are 46 league rounds in each season. After this round of the league, the schedule is just over half.

Notts County, which has attracted much attention before the start of the season, has achieved an excellent record of 19 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, ranking first in the standings, while Brighton, which lost this round, is still in second place in the standings. But the gap with Notts County has widened to 6 minutes.

As for the following strong teams such as Reading, Mansfield and Cardiff City, they were even thrown away by a few roads, and lost their qualifications to hit the League Two championship early.

Because the team has an excellent record and successfully entered the semi-finals of the League Cup, David wanted to have a grand Christmas dinner, but was stopped by Loew. You know, according to an average of four days, one game The intensive schedule, even if the rotation is adopted, the players can be regarded as operating at full capacity, so it is better not to make some extra tricks at this time.

Although the Christmas dinner was cancelled, David still felt that the players should have a good Christmas. Sometimes psychological relaxation is even more pleasant than physical relaxation.

So the club came forward and took the families of all non-English players to Nottingham, and arranged for them to spend an unforgettable Christmas with the players. Of course, this part of the expenses was entirely borne by the club.

Perhaps for these players whose salaries are not low, they don't care much about the money, but at least they feel the human touch of the club and the unusual humanistic care.

David couldn't help but smile when he thought of the surprised expressions on the players' faces when they saw their family members outside the training ground at the end of training, and the rare scene where several tough guys in his impression hugged their families and cried with joy.

However, players can celebrate Christmas with their families, but he can only sleep alone. In this life, he is still single, and he doesn’t even have a family. This kind of loneliness, I am afraid, can only be experienced in the dead of night Come to mind.

A few players invited David to celebrate Christmas together, but David smiled and rejected the players' kindness one by one. It is rare for them to reunite with their families, so it is better not to disturb them to enjoy the family happiness.

So David took a walk-and-go trip, um, the destination was London.

In fact, when he was dragging his suitcase, he didn't even know why he was going to London. Maybe he just wanted to relax his mind during the journey. After all, he didn't even know that he was blind What are you busy with?

A few hours later, David has appeared in the room of the Claridge Hotel in London, where he will spend Christmas alone, and two days later, he will leave here and return to Nottinghamshire.

Walking on the streets of London, although it is cold winter, but accompanied by sporadic falling snowflakes and the festive atmosphere on the faces of pedestrians, at least David did not feel the boundless coldness.

When passing by a Chinese handicraft store, David thought, is it a good idea to buy some Chinese-style gifts and bring them back to the players and staff?
Thinking of this, David stepped in.

"Sir, I have already saved enough money, but can you make a beautiful package for me?"

As soon as he entered the gift shop, David saw a seven or eight-year-old child standing on tiptoes on the counter, pointing to one of the silk embroidered bags and said to the salesperson. Looking from the side, David could feel his eyes hope in.

"Sorry, kid, the packaging is not free. I can help you make a beautiful packaging, but you still need to pay 2 pounds." The salesperson shook his head and said with a bit of unbearable expression.

At this time, David had already seen that there were scattered banknotes and coins on the counter in front of the child. for a long time.
