Chapter 160: Condolences and Response

The first is about the Notts County penalty.

Head coach Loew rushed into the pitch to accuse the referee of violating the rules even if there was a reason, so Notts County's appeal against Loew's red card was dismissed and the original verdict was upheld, and Loew will be suspended for one game for the red card.

According to the investigation of the post-match video, Meireles deliberately injured people, causing the Leicester player to crack his ribs and was given a five-game ban.

This was the punishment that Notts County received, and both David and Loew expressed respect for the FA's investigation and decision and accepted the result.

It is impossible not to admit guilt, and whether Loew or Merreles did it, it was put on the bright side, and it was impossible to admit it if he wanted to.

And the fact that the punishment for Notts County has not been reduced because Notts County is a victim must mean that Leicester City will receive a more severe punishment.

Notts County is happy to see it.

Sure enough, for Leicester City, the English Football Team has always dealt a heavy hand.

Leicester City were fined £50w for negative play, which is not a small amount for Leicester, who have been relegated from the Premier League, and it is very uncomfortable, if not for them.

And that's not the point.

Leicester have two key players suspended for 10 games for malicious fouls, the same two players who injured Alonso and Andres Iniesta respectively.

The most serious is the captain of Leicester, the absolute main core player of Leicester who received a 20-game ban for his hug before the end, and can almost say goodbye to the first half of the season.

Although Leicester expressed strong dissatisfaction with the punishment and appealed, it was instantly dismissed.

It's good that I didn't give you penalty points, what else is there to disbelieve!

The fans also gloat, such a punishment is right!

Fans want to watch a fierce game rather than a brutal gladiatorial arena, and if so, why not go to see rugby!

This game also came to an end, and the victim Notts County suffered a lot of losses, and the two main players were injured and unable to play in the short term.

And Lester, the victim, did not reap any benefits, and in addition to losing a lot of money, the three main players were banned for a long time.

It's a lose-lose situation!

The hatred between the two clubs suddenly skyrocketed from a trickle to a vast ocean, even deeper than the Mariana Trench.

Lester really wanted to cry at this time, and the plot didn't find the script they designed to play at all.

With three core players lost at once, Leicester don't have enough depth on the bench for Notts County, and it's simply impossible to find a quality replacement.

How will the next league be played?

Do you want to upgrade?

After that game, the whole Notts County squad rushed to hospital to comfort the injured Alonso and Iniesta.

"Uh, Raul."

Alonso said to Mereles: "In my absence, the midfield of the team will be handed over to you, you must shoulder this heavy responsibility!" ”

Mereles rolled his eyes and replied angrily, "I'm also banned, okay?" ”

The teammates laughed, but in their hearts, they admired Meireles, the tough guy on the field, and the warm man off the field.

This is the second time that Merreles has been suspended.

In Notts County's game against Reading last season, Meireles was banned for 15 games and did not play for three months for being angry with his team-mates.

And today, Meireles was suspended for fighting for his teammates, and although it was shortened to 5 games, he still couldn't play for a month.

To do this for his teammates and righteousness, Mereles never said it!

"Then my chance has come?" Mascherano smiled evilly, jokingly.

Then, he was pushed down by his teammates and cleaned up!

David is very happy for the good atmosphere in the team now, there will be competition everywhere, but he always hopes that the players can put the competition on the bright side and have a warm bond with each other.

However, now that the two core players are unable to play, Notts County's tactics may be adjusted, and this burden falls on Loew, I hope Loew can make proper arrangements.

In fact, Loew is worried.

Iniesta's position is a little bit better, Ribery can be seamlessly connected, and the performance will not be much worse, after all, the strength of the French Tianzun in the future is also obvious to all, even if the style of the two will not be exactly the same, Notts County can make adjustments at any time.

But Alonso is completely different, he is unavailable, and Notts County really don't have a player who can completely replace him for the time being.

Now there are several options.

The first is that Meireles partners with Mascherano, although the defensive intensity has gone up a bit, but the organizational ability has dropped sharply, and I am afraid that the team's offense on the field will be chaotic.

The second is to let Sneijder retreat and play the playmaking midfield position.

Although this is an option, Loew does not intend to do so, after all, Sneijder is used to playing as a midfielder and a wing-back, and he is more accustomed to passing forwards, and if he plays the ball in the midfield position, if he can't get past the opponent's midfield, then it must be the rhythm of being beaten back.

The third is to let Iniesta come to the middle to play this position, usually such a choice is not a big problem, but now Xiaobai is also lying in the hospital to tease the little nurse, why does it take two or three weeks to return to the training ground, what can I do during this time?

In the end, it may be better to let the new Spanish signing Cazorla play in the backfield to play the central midfield, and with the more defensive Mascherano who has stronger defensive ability.

Loew didn't know that Cazorla would actually play at a good level in this position, he just had the idea in a flash of inspiration, and whether or not to take a risk was decided by training and actual matches.

On the last day of August, Notts County travelled to take on Preston North End.

Loew arranged the tactics and main line-up, and he consciously went to the stands, next to two FA staff members, who needed to monitor whether Loew was strictly enforcing the FA's punishment.

In fact, Notts County is very lucky, just experienced a huge twist and turn, a league game is about to be played, psychological fluctuations are inevitable, if the opponent is a strong team in League One, Notts County may not be able to get out of the whole body.

Fortunately, Preston is only playing soy sauce in League One, not to mention promotion, even relegation has to go through twists and turns every season, and the strength is very limited, even if Notts County's state fluctuates, I am afraid it will not be able to really threaten Notts County.
