In the end, Notts County walked away with a big win away from home, and the pre-game arrogant Strachan turned straight into a joke.

The post-match press conference became a mockery of Strachan and Southampton, who called them arrogant before the game, now it's okay, get slapped in the face!

The 4-0 scoreline is a direct indication of the gap between the two sides, Southampton hardly bothered Notts County too much, and this game is not like a Premier League focus battle, but a cup match between Premier League teams and League One teams, and there is no suspense at all.

Kaka, who scored a brilliant long-distance goal on his debut, has also become the focus of reporters' attention, knowing that the Brazilian supernova has also been a target for Manchester United.

What's even more amazing is that after this victory, Notts County has sat at the top of the standings alone with five consecutive wins, pressing a number of giants and Premier League powerhouses under them, and the limelight is unmatched for a while.

This is a very unnatural achievement, who has ever seen such a strong promotion horse?

Arsenal and Chelsea's record has been very consistent, but they have been left behind by Notts County.

However, the next round of the league will be a direct clash between Notts County and Chelsea, which will test Notts' quality, and Arsenal will win against these two teams.

After this battle, Notts County, which dominates the top of the standings, has begun to be really favored by many bookmakers, and its odds of winning the championship have also dropped significantly, and it is now directly ranked fourth behind Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea, which are lower than the traditional giants Liverpool and Newcastle.

At the Notts County training base, the faces of every player are very relaxed, the team has a good record, the schedule is relatively relaxed, and the team has not been affected by injuries, so it is natural that everything is good.

The players are talking and laughing in twos and threes, some are talking about beautiful stars, some are talking about hunting in bars, and the daily life of the players is relatively boring, as long as there is not too much negative news, usually the team still turns a blind eye.

At this time, David was sitting in his office talking to Kaka.

"How's it going, can you still get used to the weather in England? To be honest, as an Englishman, I think it's terrible, Nottinghamshire is better, if it's in London, oh my God, I can't imagine it! David asked with concern.

As a professional footballer, you have professional qualities, but sometimes things really don't depend on people's minds, such as homesickness.

There are some players who are very talented and talented, but they can't leave their hometown to play, otherwise they will immediately become unaccustomed to the soil, and the performance will only be worse than the worst, and there are no examples of this.

Although there is an influence on the league and the club's competitive style, I am afraid it is more a matter of the psychological quality of the players, some of which are born and cannot be changed.

Although David knew that Kaka was not such a person, he was still worried that things would change, so he asked.

Kaka smiled shyly: "Fortunately, although the climate is not too good, I can still adapt, and I have been learning English before, and there is no barrier to communicating with my teammates!" ”

"Well, that's good, if you have any difficulties, you can always tell me!" David nodded.

"I've talked to Loew about your position, maybe in a short period of time, you won't be able to play as a main player, although your debut is amazing, but you have to be clear that you haven't been able to integrate well into the team's tactical system, it can't be done overnight, your teammates have taken a long time to reach the level that Loew wants, and it has taken a long time to develop a tacit understanding, which you can't achieve for the time being."

Kaka nodded, he understood this truth, although the Premier League may be the lowest overall tactic among the five major leagues, it does not mean that clubs in the Premier League have no skills and tactics at all, and it really takes time to fully integrate into the team.

What can be fought is pure nonsense.

Kaka is now very satisfied, because the salary he gets is close to the top of the Premier League, which he was far from daring to do before, even if it is AC Milan, it is far from showing this sincerity.

Now the only thing he has to pursue is the glory of the sport, both personally and as a club, and since Notts County has shown infinite sincerity, then he will do his best to repay the club and bring one championship after another, which is his vow.

Of course, it's a bit early for him to say this, because he didn't even compete for the main position, and Dutch striker Sneijder was doing quite well, and Kaka was under a lot of pressure.

That's what David wants to see, with two great players competing for each position, so that everyone can keep moving forward and not let up because there is no competition, and the team can have two good lineups to play on multiple fronts.

"Although you won't be the main player in a short period of time, in the cup, Loew will give you the opportunity to feel the atmosphere in the game and run in with your teammates, you can definitely seize the opportunity!" David admonished earnestly.

The primary goal of Notts County this season is the Premier League, and the League Cup is also a key format, and the two domestic cups, although they have a certain weight, but if they really affect the results of other fronts, then there is no need to pursue tirelessly, anyway, these two seasons have already won two cup trophies, and there is not much novelty.

And if David is not mistaken, this season's League Cup is not easy to play, and all the strong teams have fallen from the Champions Cup into the League Cup, resulting in a League Cup with gold content comparable to the Champions League.

And defending the League Cup is a feat!

David can't wait to see what Notts County looks like when they play against the big clubs!

In addition to several giants in England, Notts County has only played with Juventus in friendly matches, but has not yet met any other giants, so this season's League Cup, and the giants will not be uncommon, provided that Notts County can go further.

In the league, Notts County must compete for the championship, what Arsenal is undefeated to win the championship, as long as Notts County takes all the points they should get, they can definitely surpass Arsenal, and they can't beat Arsenal without seeing Notts County, even in the lower divisions, Arsenal has been defeated twice by Notts County.
