Chapter 32: A Rare Sense of Superiority

David couldn't sit in the coach's box to watch the game, and it was away again, so David didn't plan to go to the stadium to watch the game.

But before the game, David suddenly received an official invitation from Mansterfield FC, and Ginopozzo invited him to watch the game together in the box at Fittmere Stadium.

David didn't want to see Ginopozzo's ugly face, and he knew very well what Pozo was thinking, that is, he wanted to beat Notts County in the game and then see his own jokes.

But David thought about it and agreed to his opponent's invitation, because he felt that it must be Mansfield, not Notts County, that would lose in the end, and it would be nice to see Ginopozo angry.

Notts County have had a very busy schedule lately and a string of opponents who have struggled to deal with.

First of all, this game was against Mansterfield, who finished second in the league standings.

Back at home in the next game, Notts County will welcome the league leaders, promoted Brighton.

The Carabao Cup second round will be played immediately after the Brighton game, and this time Notts County have not had the best of luck against Premier League side Middlesbrough, who will be the strongest opponents they have faced so far this season, a Premier League behemoth.

If Notts County want to go far in the Carabao Cup, then Middlesbrough will be a must-pass, but whoever looks to them is a real belly compared to Middlesbrough, and this is a guaranteed game.

The general perception is that these three games will be the toughest period for Notts County this season, and if they get through it, the future is bright, but once they are beaten by their opponents, then the final result of the season will not be much better.

But no matter how you look at it, Notts County, which is in a bad situation, has not the strength to survive the difficulties.

Sitting in the box of Fittmere Stadium, David didn't even bother to do it with Gino Pozo, since he had already torn his face, there was no need to disguise it, it was estimated that Pozzo had the same idea, and the box was silent.

Looking at the old Fitermere Stadium, David sneered, originally thought that the Meadow Lane Stadium in Notts County was already a rag, but with the comparison, he instantly felt that Meadow Lane could be used for a few years.

Originally, Fittmere Stadium had almost 1w seats, but due to problems such as fire certificates, poor supervision and the sale of excess tickets for visiting fans, it was cut by nearly half, and only allowed a maximum of 5k fans to enter the stadium to watch the game.

Even so, these seats are still not satisfied for the game, as if this game, if you don't count the Notts County fans who entered the stadium, the maximum number of fans is 4,000.

This is a very normal statistic, the average attendance rate in League Two is close to 7,000, but Mansfield was originally an out-and-out underdog in League Two, and every season is the result of relegation, and even when there is relegation, fans can be wonderful.

Another reason is that the local fan market is limited, and the population of Nottinghamshire is around 28w, which can only be regarded as a small town compared to big cities such as London and Liverpool.

Even with a large fan base in England, the Nottinghamshire fan market, which has three professional teams, is already saturated.

Among them, Nottingham Forest has the largest number of fans, after all, Nottingham Forest's historical record is extremely dazzling, and the two Champions League trophies can crush the vast majority of clubs in Europe, after all, there are only so many clubs that have won the Champions League trophy, not to mention that they also have two.

There are also plenty of fans in Notts County, the Magpies are the oldest professional club in England, and the history lies there.

Surviving between two clubs, Mansfield is really difficult.

A sense of superiority arises spontaneously, although David knows that the derby with Mansterfield is really boring, but it is also a pleasure to be able to hit a mortal enemy from this angle.

Of course, Notts County still have a long way to go if they want to be the representative team of Nottinghamshire.

After the start of the game, Mansfield, who were playing at home, wanted to use the strong attack in the opening game to suppress Notts County, and directly put the game on a fast pace.

Notts County was not affected too much, because in the previous games, the opponents also adopted the same strategy, and they just saw that Notts County was slow to enter the form because of the unformed tactics.

Loew naturally won't make the same mistake on this issue, and although he has confidence in the team, Notts County are still a newcomer, so in the opening stages, he asked the team to defend solidly.

Ten minutes on, Mansfield, although dominating possession, was inconsistent in the Notts County half, and the style of Italian football is still defensive counter-attacking, and it is difficult for players with mediocre qualifications to create chances in the fast-paced positional attack.

Ten minutes passed, and Notts County, which had gradually found their form, began to counterattack.

Lahm cut off the opponent's breakthrough on the flank and handed it to Alonso to organize the attack, although Lahm also had a good long pass, but compared to Alonso, who did this professionally, it was still a little worse.

After receiving the ball, Alonso found that there was no direct opportunity to attack in the front, so he gave up the idea of a long pass raid, and organized an attack in the midfield in an orderly manner, deliberately slowing down the pace of the attack.

It may be the same rhythm that the Italians like to play, but Alonso knows the quality of his squad and he doesn't think Notts County will lose in positional attack.

Suddenly hit the ball to the left wing, Iniesta received the pass and suddenly faced the opponent's two people, it seems that the opponent has also put a lot of effort into studying Notts County, Iniesta is already considered the most threatening player in Notts County.

Iniesta did not panic in the face of pressing, and the superb ball control skills in the small area ensured that the ball would not be broken, and found an opportunity to pass the ball to Misimovic in the middle.

Missy kept the ball on the outside of his instep and the ball spun and flew past two of Mansfield's centre-backs into the box.

Hubnell had been keenly activated when Iniesta split the ball, the moment Missy touched the ball, Hubnell was just level with the opponent's two central defenders, and the next second, he had taken the lead to shake off the two central defenders, unload the ball, and form a single knife.

The football veteran, who has played from the lower leagues all the way to Serie A, will let go of this good opportunity, seeing the opposing goalkeeper attack, a light pick, and the first to break through the door of the home team.
