Chapter 218: Arsenal again
Originally, David thought that he needed to enlighten the injured Babbel himself, but when David came to Babbel's ward, he found that this little guy was talking and laughing with the little nurse Meimei, and he was teasing the girl.
In this case, David is also happy to spend less time talking, so don't bother others to pick up girls.
Forgetting about Babbel's injury, the whole Notts County team began intense preparations after the holiday.
Although Notts County eliminated Arsenal in the Carabao Cup last season, at that time, Notts County used an extremely conservative style of play to wear down Arsenal's attack, and then eliminated Arsenal by scoring goals through the only counter-attacking opportunities.
Speaking of which, the real strength of the team at that time had a natural gap with Arsenal.
But this season, Notts County face Arsenal again and will definitely not put themselves in the position of an underdog again.
Don't look at you as a wealthy family, but in our place, there are no wealthy families, and sooner or later, we will also become giants.
Notts County are going to knock out Arsenal in this game and prove themselves.
If you are realistic, Arsenal's current squad is still stronger than Notts County, of course, this means that at this stage, Notts County's progress is bound to be getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to say in the future.
However, Notts County got good news before the game, and in an interview, Professor Arsene Wenger made it clear that Arsenal's focus this season is on the league and the Champions League, and as for the less important FA Cup, Arsenal does not force it.
Although many people say that this is Arsenal setting off smoke bombs, Wenger will not forget the elimination of Notts County last season, can Wenger not want to win against Notts County to be ashamed?
However, David and Loew believe that Wenger is not lying, at least in this game, Wenger should not send all the main force.
In the sprint to the league stage, Arsenal have not maintained the strength of last season, currently behind Manchester United in the Premier League table, and in the Champions League, Arsenal are in a tough situation to qualify for the second round of the group stage, and with two games remaining, they could be eliminated at any time.
At such a critical juncture, I believe Wenger will definitely make the right choice, compared with the Champions League and the league, the FA Cup is really not enough, and it is not an accident that it is ignored or even abandoned.
As far as David knows, Wenger is really not a manager who is good at verbal battles, although his coaching results are good, but from the very beginning, he has always maintained a small role of being bullied.
was first played with by Ferguson, and then beaten by Mourinho, the fate is called a miserable!
There are several concepts in this game that are being hyped by the media, one is that Arsenal can get revenge and successfully knock out Notts County, and the other is whether Notts County, a League One team, can maintain the pace of the three sides together.
David thought that the battle with Arsenal would be a real game, and there would be no problems before and during the game.
Wenger, however, uncharacteristically chattered in front of the media.
"There are a lot of great young players in the Notts County squad and the way Notts County use this group of players is unreasonable, they are desperate to catch fish, and we need to protect the young players and not get into professional football too early."
'At the end of the season, whether Arsenal win the title or not, we will invest more in building the squad, there are a couple of players from Notts County that I am very interested in, and if possible, I hope they will be able to play for Arsenal next season in the Arsenal shirt!'
'That's right, there's Alonso, there's Villa, there's Andres Iniesta, oh God, I think any club with so many great young players would die happy.'
'I'm looking forward to seeing them in the Arsenal shirt.'
Arsene Wenger is definitely not the first to make a fancy for a player from Notts County in front of the media.
Many clubs have previously expressed their stance in front of the media that they want to bring in a player from Notts County.
But all the while, the value of Notts County players has been rising day by day, and those small clubs don't even have the courage to make an offer.
David believes Arsene Wenger will not be left to chance, but is genuinely interested in the Notts County player.
Even if there is no interest, this hand will have a certain psychological impact on the players of Notts County.
Everyone wants to play for the big clubs, and even if Notts County looks like a rising star, many players still find Arsenal more attractive than Notts County.
Now that Wenger has made a move, David doesn't need to be idle.
"If Professor Wenger wants to buy players from Notts County, and he buys several at a time, it means that Arsenal's strength is probably not the match for Notts County!"
"We at Notts County will not take players lightly, as for the reinforcements, Arsenal really have players suitable for Notts County, and when Notts County are promoted to the Premier League, I hope the door for Wenger to play will always be open.
Unlike Loew's support at Notts County, Arsene Wenger has been a bit inadequate at times.
Arsenal's hierarchy are very unhappy with Notts County.
Originally, they built Arsenal's new stadium, which is definitely one of the most high-profile events in the Premier League.
And Notts County also quietly started the stadium, which suddenly made Arsenal unable to specialize in the front.
The most infuriating thing is that Arsenal borrowed countless loans to beg grandpa and grandma in order to build the stadium, but Notts County didn't play a single one, and directly threw off his arms to start building.
What a balance this makes for the gunslinger!
Who is the richest family in the end!
Thus, such a high-profile game began.
Sure enough, as Arsene Wenger said before the game, Arsenal had reservations about the line-up and only put on a few main players, including goalkeeper Seaman and a few other starters.
The rest are either substitutes or youngsters in the youth team, and this is all a training lineup, not a strong actual lineup.
Although Arsene Wenger did not send out a full squad in the field, it does not mean that Wenger will give up this game, and the extent to which this substitute can play will determine how far Arsenal can go in the FA Cup.
From the first minute, the game was a bit of a white-hot stage, both Arsenal and Notts County were playing with their own attacks, wanting to take the lead as soon as possible.
You pass the ball with one foot, I pass the ball with one foot;
You shoot with one shot, and I'll shoot again when I turn around;
The battle for midfield was like a meat grinder.
Against Arsenal's bench line-up, Notts County did not fall into passivity, on the contrary, they were able to take a slight lead in possession, although it was useless. (To be continued.) )
