The Middlesbrough players walked off the pitch in despair, never knowing that what they thought would be an easy game would end up with such a desperate result, and they really made history that bordered on shame.

In the English Cup, Premier League teams are eliminated by teams from the lower leagues, and while it is not uncommon, there are a few times a season where no one will make a fuss.

After all, many Premier League teams do not attach importance to the League Cup in the first few knockout rounds, and it is understandable that they will strategically abandon the Cup due to factors such as schedule or focus.

But the problem now is that Middlesbrough was actually bloodied by a League Two team, and looking at Middlesbrough's starting lineup, which is not much different from the league starters, it is unbelievable that there is no strategic abandonment at all.

The result was shocking and unacceptably League Cup immediately became the hottest event in English football, Notts County from an unknown League Two team suddenly into the eyes of all fans, everyone was shocked to find that the League Two is actually another team so strong, is the League Two already so competitive?

If you look at the performances of other League Two teams in the second round of the League Cup, you can see that Notts County's strong performance is unique, and it may not happen once if you push it up a decade or down a decade.

Fans who are mid-table in the Premier League and have a heavy emphasis on League Cup teams are a little worried that they will be more worried about this passionate League Two side in the draw for the third round than the Premier League giants.

There is no shame in losing to Premier League powerhouses such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, but if you lose to League Two like Middlesbrough, and lose a shameful 5-0, it is unacceptable to fans when you think about it.

McLaren was overwhelmed by the reporters' questions at the post-game press conference, and he kept his face black and didn't say a word during the entire press conference, no matter how difficult the reporters were, they just shook their heads, and didn't go to the press conference The FA will issue a ticket.

Loew answered reporters' questions with a spring breeze on his face, and the victor's stance contrasted sharply with McLaren's defeat.

"Now, I actually think the quality of this game is a good thing for Middlesbrough because Middlesbrough can really focus on the league because they have such a bad league result and now they really get what they want!" Loew's teasing words made McLaren feel embarrassed.

After the team returned to the club, David directly auctioned the prize money of 50w pounds, which is definitely not a small amount, and it is difficult for even a Premier League team to expel such a high winning bonus.

The team's big win has already made the players elated, and the high prize money has made the players shout hooray, they are already dreaming of winning the League Cup, and with the generosity of the chairman David, I am afraid that everyone will be rewarded with a lot of money, after all, no one does not like the pound.

This victory brought the team not only to advance to the next round of the League Cup, but also to improve both the popularity of the team and the cohesion of the team, which can be seen from the fact that many companies directly approached the club and wanted to become the sponsor of the club.

Originally, David did not make a lot of effort in the commercial development of the club, because he felt that the platform of the English League Two was too small, and when the team was promoted to the Premier League and became a strong team, it was not too late to develop the business on a large scale, but now that the company has taken the initiative to come to the door, Notts County has no reason to push the money out.

So David reorganized the Ministry of Commerce and set up a big structure, but it was only a structure, and when the team had the conditions for business development, it would be filled.

Before the start of the seventh round of League Two, David quickly finalized several sponsors of the club, although the other party is not an internationally renowned big company, and there is not much sponsorship, but this is a good start.

To David's amusement, just after teaching McClaren how to behave, Middlesbrough sent a fax asking if the Spanish player could make a transfer.

Villa has always been the team's third striker, behind Hubnell and Di Natale, who have been given more opportunities to play because of Di Natale's injury, but in David's mind, Villa is far more important than the two people in front of him.

The Carabao Cup starter lived up to the expectations of David and Loew, scoring a hat-trick in the first half and being the biggest contributor to the team's incredible victory.

So it's no surprise that Middlesbrough can fancy Villa.

David took the fax from the beautiful secretary's hand, took a cursory glance, and threw it directly into the wastebasket, without even replying to the other party.

Middlesbrough has been under criticism from fans and the media since this fiasco, and is thinking about whether to make some news to divert the attention of fans and media, coupled with the fact that they were impressed by the excellent performance of Notts County striker Villa in this game, and simply bought this player, which is nothing more than spending some money, which can not only transfer pressure but also hit the opponent.

Look, what can we do if you win? You're still a League Two team, we just tick our fingers and buy your players, it's not easy for you to play to death?

Still sending the fax in a domineering manner, Middlesbrough reverted to that state of being uninhabited.

But two days later, they still haven't heard back from Notts County, and with some anxiety they sent another fax, this time directly making an offer of £200w for Villa.

David scoffed and threw it into the trash again.

200w want to buy Notts County's future leading striker?

Is it true that Notts County has never seen money?

Still ignoring it, David is not afraid that Middlesbrough will contact Villa privately, as long as Villa is not caught in the door, he will not go to a team like Middlesbrough that was beaten into a dog by Notts County.

McLaren has been living worse than death these days, and he originally thought that he would be able to get rid of this embarrassing situation after announcing the transfer of Villa easily.

But after waiting for a few days and still not getting a reply from Notts County, he was forced by fans and the media to be anxious in an interview, so he could only make the matter of buying Villa public, so as to divert the pressure.
