Brighton reluctantly attacked from positions they were not good at, while Notts County counter-attacked with gusto.

Iniesta and Ribery up front were both able to take the ball on the counter-attack, and with the clever running of Di Natale and Villa, a few people could use group cooperation to penetrate the opponent's backward defense and threaten the opponent's goal in the counterattack.

With 27 minutes into the first half, Notts County, who were playing at home, took the lead and scored on a counter-attack that made Brighton hate.

And after taking the lead in the score, after Brighton's more reckless attack in order to equalize, Notts County's counterattack was even sharper, and the wave was endless, and Brighton didn't want to play.

At the end of the first half, Notts County had a three-goal lead, with Villa and Di Natale blotting all three.

In fact, the Brighton boss knew from the moment he conceded the first goal that there was no suspense about the outcome of the game, and even at this point in time, it could be as early as Notts County put on a counter-attacking formation.

It is not so easy to defeat the weak team to fight back with iron heart, let alone the strong team not to fight back gracefully, at least Brighton has no good way to face the counterattack of Notts County.

After the first half of the Christmas game, which everyone watched, the troops were withdrawn early, and the two sides tacitly made personnel adjustments at halftime to save their physical energy.

And after this unworthy victory at the top of the table, Notts County's lead has reached nine points, which is definitely a point difference that will not be easy to catch up, especially with Notts County in such a strong form.

Even if there is a precedent for Newcastle to lead Manchester United by 12 points but collapse and be overtaken, it is also necessary to consider a certain background, although Notts County is also a magpie, it will definitely not be as sad as the magpie in the Premier League.

Winning the battle for the top spot is also a good start to the Devils' schedule, but before the next round of the league, David got bad news.

The club's plans to build a stadium met with resistance.

Building a stadium is not a simple matter to be taken for granted, first of all, some process things must be carried out.

Notts County was allowed to launch a public consultation after unveiling the new course plan, and local residents agreed that a certain percentage of the new course plan would need to be passed, with data showing that the public support for the new course in Notts County reached 81%.

Below is the approval of the local council of Notts Shire, which is then forwarded to the mayor and the home secretary for approval.

The previous steps went well, but by this time, some residents appealed to the court to cancel the construction of Notts County Stadium, arguing that it would destroy part of the forest and affect traffic on the city's main roads.

The fact that the planned location of the new stadium in Notts County is on the banks of the River Trent, not far from Meadow Lane, next to the University of Nottingham and the Peaks National Park, will take up a certain amount of green space, as residents have appealed, and Notts County cannot deny this.

But you must know that the green area in England is very high, and it is very difficult to find a vacant land for buildings, and it is reasonable to occupy green space.

As for the traffic on the city's main roads, it is a bit far-fetched, there are only two stadiums nearby, Meadow Lane and City Stadium, and only on match day will there be a certain degree of traffic congestion, even if you want to see too many vehicles on weekdays.

The court has accepted the appeal, and if it is really ruled that Notts County cannot build a stadium, then Notts County will have to endure it, so David scratches his head.

He doesn't understand the mentality of some Brits, is it that I build a stadium and get in the way of you, you have nothing to do when you are full, right?

However, after the staff's investigation, David finally understood that feelings are the black hands of the fans of the sworn enemy.

It is obvious that the rise of Notts County is unstoppable, and the fans of the two rival teams in the same city naturally do not want to see such a result, and only choose to add to the problem of Notts County within their ability.

'It's not clear right now, England is very human rights-oriented, and if we can't convince the judges, then we won't be able to move on the pitch.' Soriano is also in a hurry, he is in charge of the construction of the stadium, and now there is such a farce, which makes him very nerve-wracking.

David pursed his lips, feeling in his heart that sometimes it was better to be a little more specialized.

"Well, you can look at some of the stadium packages, such as themed business districts, commercial properties, medical facilities and orphanages, and make a big difference about how many jobs they will provide for Nottinghamshire, and I'm sure no one will say no to this plan."

Originally, David had a plan to build a stadium support, since there was a need, then throw it out with the trend, and no one could fault the reasonable use of its own resources.

Sure enough, when Soriano's carefully prepared plan was announced, the court immediately dismissed the opponent's appeal, and construction of the Notts County stadium was finally under way.

Of course, there is a trade-off, as the Notts County club have promised to work with local construction companies as they build their new training base if the plan goes through.

Of course, the contractor for the construction of the stadium still has to be found from Huaxia, because no one else can promise to deliver the stadium before the start of the 03-04 season.

Having solved the not-so-in-one problem, Notts County continued to sit at the top of the table with a comfortable win over Wegumbe on the road.

There was a five-day gap between this game and the next round of the league, which was a rare respite in the Devils' schedule, and Loew even generously gave the players two days off to make up for the regret that they didn't get much rest at Christmas.

In fact, Loew has another layer of deep meaning, the team is recuperating, and it is also good to devote themselves to the battle of revenge.

Perhaps this game is not quite a revenge match, because in the third round of the league, it was Notts County who beat Reading by a big margin.

And the reason why it is called a revenge battle is because in the last round of the meeting, the Reading team shamelessly used lethal tactics to send Di Natale to the hospital, missed the game for several months, and because the two teams directly staged an all-out performance on the field, resulting in many people in Notts County being banned for a long time.

The two teams, which had nothing to do with each other, became mortal enemies after that game, and this time the players were holding back their energy to give their opponents a hard beat!

Of course, this ruthlessness does not mean another fight, although the force index of Notts County seems to be higher than that of the opponent, but since you want to teach the opponent a lesson, it is natural to abuse and kill them on the field of play in a dignified manner, which is the revenge of a professional player.
