Chapter 747: The Home Whistle of Serious Tendenties
In the face of UEFA's punishment, Notts County did not appeal, after all, Loew did not go with the team to the away stadium on the pretext of illness, but everyone knows that he was preparing for the first team at the training base that day, and he did not look sick at all, and if he appealed rashly, he would inevitably face more serious punishment.

Anyway, Notts County is the first in the group, no matter who the first opponent in the knockout round is, the first leg of the meeting is away, occupying the advantage of the schedule, even if Loew can not command on the sidelines There may be accidents, but back at home Notts County are confident to come back, not the end of the world!
Once the Champions League group stage is over, Notts County's focus can be fully shifted to other competitions, as the knockout stages of the Champions League don't restart until February.
Notts County's next league opponent is Chelsea, Notts County's biggest rival in the league and the team who are hot on the table for Notts County.
However, there is very good news for Notts County now, that is, in the final round of the Champions League group stage three days ago, Chelsea and Inter Milan fought fiercely for 90 minutes to finally ensure that they advanced to the round of 16 as the group winner.
Notts County has a tight schedule, but Chelsea is also facing the dilemma of fighting on the third line, although the thickness of the Blues squad is amazing, but the strength of the bench players is still a certain gap with Notts County, presumably Mourinho must be very headache now!
Before the game, Mourinho fired directly at the FA, bombarding the schedule for amateurism, without considering the actual situation of the Champions League team at all.
Mourinho's big mouth is notoriously provocative, and he was punished by UEFA and the FA last season, but he always doesn't have a long memory, but fortunately this is not a sensitive topic, and the managers of several giants will have similar complaints every season, and I haven't seen the FA punish anyone!
However, after being retorted by reporters, "Notts County is also scheduled, why didn't Notts County complain?" Mourinho couldn't open his mouth.
Who made Notts County so wicked!
Notts County's Champions League draw was lucky, and they were assigned to a group full of weak teams, and after four games, they determined that they would be the first in the group, and the next two games were simply a passing motion, so they dared to send reserve players to play in the Champions League.
But Chelsea can't do it, and Inter Milan is in a group, they are traditional giants in Serie A, and their strength has been steadily rising recently, Chelsea Leng has not taken any advantage of Inter, and the fierce battle was not until the last round to really determine the first place in the group, and then look at it, the main players are about to be paralyzed, how to compare with Notts County?
Jose Mourinho was unconvinced, and he felt that if Chelsea and Notts County switched places, he would not need to publicly complain about the schedule!
After all kinds of considerations, Mourinho still did not dare to send all the main lineup to face Notts County, the players' physical consumption is serious, and they are easy to be injured if they are forced to play, not to mention, how to play in the next game? It is likely to be a knock-on effect, or even a failure.
Of course, Mourinho did not dare to send bench players to give up this game completely, he was really unwilling to be left behind by Notts County, if Chelsea really lost this game, then there would be a 5-point gap with Notts County, even if it is not a desperate point difference, but it will definitely put Chelsea into complete passivity.
In the end, the Magic Bird carefully selected a few main players with relatively good physical condition, with a few substitutes, to play against Notts County, maybe the probability of losing is very high, but at least if he plays well, it is not impossible to win, and he is still very confident in the Chelsea lineup.
After 20 minutes of the game, Mourinho on the sidelines had an imperceptible smile on his face, because today's game seemed to be a bit unexpected, Chelsea's players played very tenaciously, even if the field fell to the bottom, but they did not allow Notts County to score, and the intensity of the defense has reached its own requirements, which is not easy to do.
And what makes him even happier is that today's referee's home whistle is very obvious, Chelsea is fighting a lot in defense, but many times the referee will choose to turn a blind eye and not interrupt the game, in the first half Notts County also had a goal that was blown offside, in his opinion, it seems that it was a good ball, and the referee's decision also caused dissatisfaction among the Notts County players, but the referee still forced it down.
If the referee keeps this scale and tendency, then Chelsea will really take advantage of this game!
Jose Mourinho was overjoyed, and Loew and David on the away bench couldn't be happier, especially David, frowning, and it was clear that they didn't expect this situation.
Isn't there anything greasy about this?
Although this is Chelsea's home stadium, this home whistle is too blatant, even if it is not to the point of being unscrupulous, but everyone can see that the referee dares to do this without being instructed?
David thought about it for a while, and he probably understood what was going on!
Obviously, in the last game with Liverpool, Notts County did not take into account the overall situation after the bus was besieged, and directly topped the FA, and even threatened to boycott the game, which made the FA very embarrassed.
These dogs ~ mother's things!
David wanted to point at the nose of the FA senior management and scold a few words, a little power and I don't know how to use it!
But there is no way, Notts County always has to survive in England, and no matter what, it can't get around the jurisdiction of the FA, otherwise David would have turned his face a long time ago!
Although Chelsea is at a disadvantage in this game, the referee is on their side, and it can be regarded as a lost harvest, at least now Chelsea can stabilize their footing with the help of the referee and not be defeated by Notts County.
Perhaps the Chelsea players saw through the referee's pendencies and simply became unscrupulous, but in the second half, Phillips Jr. dribbled into the Notts County penalty area but played a diving feint, falling directly to the ground without anyone touching him, the referee hesitated and awarded a penalty, and Lampard took the lead in one fell swoop.
An angry Notts County did not equalise until the end of the game with a tactical corner to avoid the embarrassment of an away defeat.
In the end, Notts County drew away from Chelsea and the difference between the two clubs did not change. (To be continued.) )
