David did not notice that Abu's eyes were not looking at him, and if he knew, then he would have been wary of it.

The scoreline of the first half remained unchanged and Notts County were firmly in the ascendancy and in control of the game.

"Your team is really good, don't doubt it, it's my sincere compliment!"

At halftime, Abu suddenly stood up, walked up to David, and said to David with a smile.

David also stood up and replied with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, I think my players must be very happy to receive such a compliment!" ”

The two looked at each other, sending some kind of unknown signal.

After the two were seated again, the second half of the game began.

Chelsea have made personnel changes, removing a striker and adding a midfielder, hoping to take control of the midfield in this way.

However, the actual effect of the substitutions was not reflected, and Notts County still insisted on their style of play, mainly attacking from the wings, and Chelsea's two full-backs could not stop it.

The first goal in the second half would have been important, and if it had been Chelsea, Notts County would have had a one-goal lead, and the game would have been a blur. And if the goal had been scored by Notts County, the suspense of the game would have been snuffed out.

Bates is not a professional footballer, but he can still see it after many years of running Chelsea.

So at this time, he was a little too concerned to observe Abu's expression, but prayed for Chelsea nervously, and at this time, he had already moved the idea of changing the coach.

Although the tinkerer has done a good job at Chelsea and the Blues' results have gradually and steadily improved, he has not been able to threaten the status of several big clubs from start to finish, which has made him very unhappy.

And now, Chelsea has been in debt to buy players for many years, but they can't even beat a League One team, and even lose a little decently, there is no reason why such a manager should not be changed.

Just as he pondered the possibility of a change of manager, the Notts County goal brought his already fugue thoughts back to reality.

It was still Di Natale who scored the goal, and the Italian striker was a complete explosion today, scoring a hat-trick in such an important game that even Villa, who was sitting on the bench, really applauded him.

Bates seemed to have been deflated by the ball, and suddenly collapsed in his seat, completely regaining the unstoppable state he was in before the game.

Abu, on the other hand, watched the amazing team of Notts County with great interest.

To be honest, when he accepted Bates' invitation to watch the FA Cup game, he was very disdainful of Bates, a cunning old man.

Looking for such a team that is not at the same level to realize their strength?

That's powerful!

But from the very beginning of the game, it was a surprise to him, this League One club, which he regarded as a passer-by, actually beat Chelsea to such a Premier League powerhouse.

Is it Chelsea too weak or Notts County too strong?

It seems that any reason is a bit far-fetched!

He took a fresh look at this amazing team, and while he didn't have a professional eye for football, he could at least see that Notts County was playing the most pleasing football to look at, and the most powerful football, so strong that Chelsea, a Premier League powerhouse, could only bow down.

He first became interested in Notts County, and it turned out that there was such an interesting team!

When the game was over, Abu wanted to have a good chat with David, the chairman of Notts County, but because of Bates' presence, he gave up the idea and came back to it!

After David politely said goodbye to Abu, he didn't bother to stimulate Bates, who seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and went into the stadium to celebrate the victory with the players.

This is the fifth round of the FA Cup, and there are only three games to go before the final title, and this one-game format is already equivalent to every game being a final for Notts County.

"Your performance in this game was fantastic!"

David walked up to Di Natale and touched the Italian striker's head, looking extremely intimate.

But when David saw a trace of decline in Villa's eyes not far away, he also had mixed feelings.

In fact, the styles of these two excellent strikers are somewhat similar, they are both skilled goalscorers, rather than the kind of centre-forwards who can act as a fulcrum for the team in the box.

At that time, when abducting these two strikers, David showed his unprofessional side, and if he could have thought about it a little more carefully, then he would not have done it.

The lack of consideration has created problems for Loew's current line-up, with the two talented talents being limited to one man on the pitch most of the time, and the lack of a regular centre-forward, which has limited tactics in many games, and sometimes even had to put tall centre-backs up front to play as a cameo centre-forward to deal with dense defences.

This is simply the biggest waste of resources!

But David really likes these two excellent strikers, and whoever lets them go will feel like tearing off his ribs.

Loew had raised the issue with him at the end of last season, but David thought about it for a long time and decided to keep the two strikers, after all, Notts County are difficult to meet real opponents in League One, and the problem of a central striker is not imminent.

But at the end of the season, I'm afraid I have to make a difficult decision.

Well, I don't want to think so much for the time being, after all, I already have a rough outline of the future, and when my layout in European football is fully formed, nothing will be a problem at that time.

David's mind turned to Abu again, since the oligarch is coming to the Premier League, should he prepare some greeting gifts for him?

Think about Abou's first year at Chelsea:

Joe Cole in 660W, Bridge in 1300W, Makelele in 1660W, Duff in 1700W, Crespo in 2600W, Peron in 1500W, Mutu in 1580W, Glen Johnson in 600W, Hutter in 500W, Smertin in 350W, Parker in 1000W, Grami in 700W.

Adding up to a terrifying €140 million, which translates to over 8,000w in pounds, that's definitely a staggering figure.

So, will Notts County be able to reap some of the benefits?

Although he is not short of money, if the money is placed on the ground, as long as he picks it up, it is his own, then David definitely does not mind bending over. (To be continued.) )
