Chapter 292: Farewell to Meadow Lane
Regarding the issue of Messi's obtaining a labor certification, David thought about it for a long time, but in fact, there was no too safe solution, after all, the special genius clause is not so easy to apply.
After thinking about it, I didn't have a clue, so I simply discussed it with Rick Link, if there was really no way, then in the end I could only choose to loan to Beweilun and get an EU passport three years later.
When David told Rick Link about his concerns, Rick Link was stunned for a moment, but then burst out laughing, laughing inexplicably to David's inexplicability.
"Mr. President, maybe you are a little too focused on your own words, in fact, it is not only in the national team can you be considered an international player, in the national youth can also be called an international player, and Messi is under 21 years old, as long as he has played more than 70% of the national youth team in the past year, he can be eligible to apply for a labor certificate." Rick Link said with a smile.
David suddenly felt that he always felt that he had overlooked something!
As for the national youth team, it is much easier to operate, although Messi has not yet been selected for the national youth team, but as long as Notts County recommends the past, with Messi's own strength, plus Notts County properly operated, there is no problem at all, and a year later, when Messi meets the number of appearances, then he can apply for a labor certification and then play on behalf of Notts County.
Finally, after thinking about it, David felt two pounds lighter all over his body.
Then it was the farewell game at Meadow Lane in front of Notts County.
Because of the opening of the new stadium, Meadow Lane Stadium in Notts County will lose its home position for Notts County's first team this season and become a venue for Notts County's academy, which has accompanied Notts County for more than 100 years, witnessed all the ups and downs of Notts County, and finally unloaded the weight of history.
Last season's final home game was supposed to be a farewell game at Meadow Lane, but because there are still important games in Notts County, it can only be postponed, and it seems more formal and grand to host a farewell game.
For this farewell match, Notts County did not specifically invite any club, but chose Notts County Youth Team as the team's opponent, which may not be fierce enough, but has more symbolic significance.
As the current chairman of Notts County, David personally invited many Notts County veterans, stars who have played for Notts County, and even many people who have worked in Notts County, although they are old and even confined to wheelchairs, but the only thing that has not changed is their dedication to the team.
Naturally, the game will not charge tickets, but because of the limited number of seats at the Meadow Lane Stadium, many fans still can't walk into the stadium to watch the farewell game at the Meadow Lane Stadium, but it's like a drizzle falling from the sky, which can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans.
The old people who had witnessed the rise and fall of Notts County together on the Meadow Lane Stadium were full of tears and remembrance.
Although they know that the move of Notts County's home stadium to a new stadium is a big opportunity for the development of the team, this stadium carries with them memories that are close to a lifetime, how can it be so easy to let go!
Countless banners hung in the sky, seemingly telling the hearts of the fans.
"Plum Lane Goodbye!"
That's what the fans want to say about the stadium beneath their feet.
In this game, the Notts County first team naturally won a big victory over the youth team, but the players of the youth team showed no stage fright in front of the big brother, even if the first team had some water elements, but the youth team was enough to score two goals to make them proud.
The fans also saw the future of the team through this farewell game, and these are the hopes for the future of Notts County.
After this farewell game, Meadow Lane has officially completed its historic mission, and from today, it will begin to accompany the Notts County youth team on a new journey.
In fact, some staff members mentioned to David that after the completion of the new stadium, it was possible to sell Meadow Lane, at least for an income, but David did not hesitate to veto this proposal, which is not only the result of all considerations, but also a kind of emotional inheritance, a legacy from the cheap dad he has never met in his life.
Old Pavis has dedicated his life to Notts County, but he has not been able to lead Notts County to complete the revival, and now he is taking Notts County step by step on the road to revival, I believe that cheap dad should be very pleased if he knows about it!
However, many people who like to do nothing say that Notts County is a waste of resources and should be condemned by the public!
Most of them are Mansfield fans.
There is no way, when the rival team in the same city builds a new stadium, they can only sit in the older stadium to watch the game, compared with the two, who can afford this gap.
Although Mansfield managed to be promoted to League One last season under the strong management of the Pozzo family, in doing so, their team became the smallest, most broken and most backward home stadium in the entire League One, which was a shame to be lost to the whole of England.
At this time, Notts County announced that their old home stadium, Meadow Lane, would be included in the academy system and become a competition venue for the academy, which is simply a tyrannical thing.
Even though Meadow Lane is relatively old, due to the renovation of Notts County over the years, it is not very dilapidated, even if it becomes the home of a Premier League team, it is more than enough, the only drawback is that the number of fans is a little less.
If you can bring the Meadow Lane Stadium to your own team, it will be perfect!
That's what Mansfield fans generally think.
However, they also know that this is simply unrealistic, and with the bad relationship between the two teams, even if Notts County blows up the stadium, it will not be transferred to Mansfield.
Therefore, they can only say a few words sourly and chat to express their unwillingness.
For such a guy who can only make a fuss about his mouth, David has always ignored it, saying that if you don't have it or not, I won't give it to you.
However, he did pay a little attention to the two rival teams in the same city.
If it weren't for the fact that Notts County had kicked Mansfield a few times, I am afraid that this team controlled by the Pozzo family would have been promoted to League One long ago, and now, after a season delay, it has finally rushed to League One.
With memories of Watford in his previous life, David knew that maybe Pozzo couldn't get a big club, but with rich resources, it was not difficult to bring an ordinary team into the Premier League.
And I don't know if it's due to the continuous stimulation of David and Notts County, Dogotti is also making a lot of moves at Nottingham Forest this summer, making frequent moves in the transfer market, recruiting a group of powerful players, and having a shameful and courageous posture, if the strong team is well integrated, then it is not impossible to be promoted to the Premier League.
Notts County is not a metropolis, and its population is not comparable to that of London, Manchester, etc., and once there are three Premier League teams in Notts County at the same time, it is really a lively one.
I'm afraid that the fans of Notts County are not enough for the three clubs! (To be continued.) )
