The battle of wits between the two managers made the game exciting, and the fierce battle in midfield gave the fans an adrenaline rush and the game was still full of spectacle even if there were no goals. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Notts County's position in the midfield is a bit helpless for Benitez, two defensive midfielders, plus a fierce teenager Hamsik, and form a wall-like defensive line, so that Liverpool midfielders can not do suppression and continuous attack, and when there are also counterattack opportunities, Notts County can also use the width of the field to make a fuss on the wing, Loew's response made Bei Bald extremely irritable.

The second half was spent in a fierce battle between the two sides, with Liverpool unable to cope with Notts County, who did not take the opportunity to put Liverpool to their death, and the final result was that no one could change the scoreline.

Notts County halted their slump with an away win over Liverpool, and it was Loew who had the last laugh in another contest with Benitez.

When the two shook hands politely after the game, Loew felt the strength of Benitez's hand, and also felt the unwillingness in Benitez's heart, but Loew still recognized Benitez's ability, if the two stood on the same level, maybe Benitez could really lead the team to really compete with Notts County.

After this round of league games, although the terms of the top few in the league table have not changed, but the difference has changed again, Chelsea after being held to a draw by their opponents, the lead is only four points, Arsenal and Notts County have both won and narrowed the gap with Chelsea, similarly, Manchester United has not fallen behind, only Liverpool after losing to Notts County, and Manchester United also have a three-point gap.

For Notts County, it is definitely good news that Chelsea are closing in the table, because after the next round of the league, Notts County will face Chelsea directly at home, if they can win at home, then the advantage that the Blues have accumulated during this period will be wiped out, and most importantly, several injured players of Notts County will return next month, when the strongest Notts County will be on the field again, making everyone scared.

After the victory over Liverpool, Villa actually invited his teammates to a big meal, as they said, to celebrate the victory over Liverpool, to celebrate Villa as the European Footballer of the Year, and to celebrate Villa's trip to Zurich.

Fortunately, the next league game is in a week's time, otherwise Loew would not have let the players be so indulgent, of course, the players can't drink, he, the manager, is drunk and has no majesty.

The next day, the Notts County Big Three arrived in Switzerland with Villa, and this time the award ceremony was completely different from the European Ballon d'Or, and the winner of the World Footballer of the Year will be announced on the spot, which is a huge gala.

FIFA previously announced the list of three finalists, the new European Footballer of the Year Villa and the second European Footballer of the Year Shevchenko were selected, but the third European Footballer of the Year Deco did not make the final three-person shortlist, as expected, Ronaldo, who plays for Barcelona, was selected.

In David's previous life, the candidates for the World Footballer of the Year were Shevchenko, Thierry Henry and Ronaldo, Shevchenko was the top scorer in Serie A, Henry was the top scorer in the Premier League, and Ronaldo, uh, didn't seem to have any accolades to take.

This time, Villa's sideways was born, and instead of replacing Xiao Luo, it was Henry who was replaced, well, Henry is not the Premier League Golden Boot in this life, and it seems understandable to be topped.

This time David could really ask Villa if he was nervous, because Villa would never know the answer at this time.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the 2004 FIFA Awards Ceremony will be officially held at the Zurich Opera House, which is the finale of FIFA's ******** event, so it seems to be a grand event.

Countless celebrities in the football world, bigwigs in the sports world, and even big-name entertainment stars helped out, making the entire award ceremony look star-studded.

It's funny to say that at a football awards ceremony, FIFA also engaged in a so-called theme "the combination of football and opera", which is said to be interspersed with opera performances between various parts of the awards ceremony, which made David feel extremely painful.

Football and opera have a yarn relationship, huh? FIFA has to pull the two together, probably not to take the benefit of the European Opera Association to promote opera through this grand awards ceremony?

Of course, as for whether there is such a European opera association or not, David does not know, this is all slandered by him.

Before the official start of the awards ceremony, Soriano greeted various football bigwigs, Notts County players are what European giants want the most, and he, the CEO of Notts County, is naturally rising, although he does not have the right to make a decision on transfers.

Loew communicated with some famous coaches, their exchanges were closer to simplicity, talking about tactics and players, much purer, not so much intrigue, and there was no need to consider whether the other party's words had any subtext.

As long as David sat in his seat boredly, staring at Villa with wide eyes.

David found that Villa seemed to be really nervous, completely lacking his usual calmness, and his heart was funny, but he also understood Villa's mentality, if it was him, maybe his legs would tremble.

This is a grand awards ceremony, where all the FIFA awards are announced and awarded, and the World Footballer of the Year is the finale of the award ceremony, which naturally has to be saved until the end, which also makes Villa's tension never subside.

"Okay, calm down, as I said before, this honor is really just an honor, in fact, the gold content is not high, it really doesn't matter, it's just a game of FIFA!" David said, putting his arm around Villa's shoulders.

Huluwa smiled, but she felt so stiff in her smile, "Actually, I'm just not comfortable in a suit, this tie is really suffocating!" ”

Well, David didn't expose him, just treat him as uncomfortable in clothes!

"If you really got the World Footballer of the Year, would you feel like you don't have anything to pursue anymore?" David, not knowing what was going on his mind, asked Villa softly.

"How so? It's just a World Footballer of the Year, maybe it was an unattainable dream for me in the past, but now, I have to pursue more, I want to win more league titles, I want to win the Champions League, and more than once, I also want to become European Footballer and World Footballer more than once, maybe when I retire, I will become the greatest star on the planet, just like Pele and Maradona! As he spoke, Villa's face looked longing.

Well, it's a good dream to be the greatest star in the world!

However, it is better not to be like Pele and Maradona, although David admits that they are gods on the field, but, hehe, a crow's mouth, a drug addict, is really not a good example for schoolchildren! (To be continued.) )
