Chapter 153: It's Good Not to Bite

Notts County, who won comfortably in the first two rounds, struggled a little in the next third round of the league.

The opponent Bradford is playing away, there is no intention of winning at all, as long as they can take away a point from the away side is a victory, anyway, they are a weak team in the English League, and they don't care if the scene is ugly or not, so from the first minute, Bradford put on a stubborn posture.

Notts County don't like to play such games, but they have to adapt to the change of identity, which they used to do against big clubs, such as Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, but now it is their turn to play against them in this way.

Notts County bombarded Bradford's goal for almost 80 minutes without being able to find the back of the net, and in desperation, Loew simply deployed a front three, while also adopting the tactic he used to do in the face of a dense defence last season, pushing the tall centre-back Westerman up the front of the line to create a threat.

After the adjustment, Bradford, although the defense is more embarrassed, is still crumbling support, and they have seen the light of day.

In the final moments, the hero of Notts County stepped up, or it would not be an exaggeration to call him Mr. Key in Notts County.

Villa!

It's him again!

His nimble movement allowed him to get a late chance in the penalty area, stabbing past Bradford to give home to Notts County.

In the event of a surprise, the Notts County players instantly felt excited and joyful as if they were about to break through the sky, and they grabbed Villa and played a game of flying man, until Villa threw all the meat and eight vegetarian vegetables before stopping.

On the other hand, the opponent held the whole game, but was scored by Notts County at the last moment, this desperate reality was really unbearable for them, and their fighting spirit was lost to the extreme.

Such a game is not very taxing for Notts County, and even the psychological exhaustion is far more terrifying than the physical exhaustion.

After the third round of the league, Notts County still dominated, but this round of the league did not repeat the strange situation of the previous two rounds, with only three draws and the other games being won and lost.

Maybe three rounds won't decide much, but there are some clues.

Needless to say, Notts County, who won all of them, were a big dark horse as predicted before the season, and sure enough, they are now staying at the top of the table.

Leicester City, the Premier League relegation team, is in second place, and Portsmouth, who have invested heavily in the summer, are in third place, both showing superhuman strength and are also regarded as super favorites.

However, another Premier League relegation team, Ipswich, did not show good form, although they won the first round of qualifying for the League Cup, but in the league, it was a tragic two draws and one defeat, all the way to the bottom of the scoreboard.

As for the sworn enemies of Notts County, what makes David laugh and cry is that Nottingham Forest actually came to a three-game draw in a row, which is really indescribable.

Well, a draw is better than a loss, and with Nottingham Forest's quality, not losing is already considered a success.

At least people can say that they are undefeated in three rounds!

After the third round of the league, the teams were given more than a week off, and Loew was very liberal in giving the players three days off.

Without a game, David wandered back to his home turf, the Notts County Academy.

David had just entered the Academy and was immediately pulled into his office by Ricklink, and the Dutchman put on a serious look, really serious.

"David, you're here just in time, I need to discuss a few things with you!" Rick Link's tone was anxious, restless, as if the flames were burning under his ass.

David wondered why, but were there any pressing issues in the Academy that needed to be addressed?

But as soon as Rick Link explained, David suddenly realized that it was really urgent!

"Suarez can't stay in the Academy in Notts County anymore!"

As soon as Rick Link opened his mouth, David was startled, could it be that Su Ya started to bite people?

"Based on his current quality and pace of improvement, the coaching staff unanimously agreed that he would have the level to be promoted to the first team at around the age of 18, but the problem now is that he doesn't have a labor certificate, and even if we get promoted to the Premier League by then, it will be difficult to apply for him, so our proposal is to loan him to Belgium, and in three years he will be exactly 18 years old, and when he returns to Notts County, he can go straight to the first team!"

David suddenly, I see, isn't it biting?

That's good!

That's good!

However, David was thinking about Rick Link's suggestion, Su Ya is only 15 years old this year, although he is extremely talented and has shown extraordinary strength, but he is still in a period of rapid growth, and even his skills are not completely finalized, if he is loaned out at this time, will it delay his growth?

It seems that Bei Weilun's youth training needs to be caught, think about the Belgian demons in Bei Weilun's youth academy, David feels that this is what he must do, otherwise he will really be called a pit man!

"Okay, I'll go back and loan Suarez to Bevilen, but I'm going to give you a task now, that is, on the basis of taking care of the Notts County Academy, we also need to build Bevilen's Academy, which will also be our talent pool base in the future." David decided.

Rick Link nodded, the burden on his shoulders was heavy again, but he was happy because it was his favorite job.

Rick Link then chatted with David about the English Youth League, at a time when England's youth league system had not undergone major changes, and there were three levels of youth leagues under the first team.

The first is the U23, that is, the reserve team, the youth league at this level will be linked to the first team, Notts County is in League One, then the reserve team plays in the League One reserve league.

At the moment, this is the least important level for Notts County, because there are no good seedlings in the reserves of Notts County, and the reserves are kept solely to cope with the FA.

Of course, when those little demons in the academy grow to a certain extent, they will enter this level, and at that time, their importance will be highlighted.

Further down are the Under-19 League and the Under-17 League, but these two youth leagues are not linked to the first team, and after relegation, they will play in the English Youth League.

These two levels of leagues are the focus of the Notts County Academy, and although the little demons brought back by David are not of enough grade, they can skip the level to compete, and the actual training value is still very high.

Of course, there is also the FA Youth Cup, which is also a very good training platform, even if the demons of Notts County cannot be compared with the young players who are a few years older than them in terms of physical confrontation, but at least technically, they are completely destroyed, as long as they pay attention to protect themselves, the Notts County Youth Team will not fall behind in the face of any youth team.
