Taking Everton, by the way, swollen the faces of countless people, Notts County responded to all doubts in a strong way.

After this league game, Notts County will only need to play two games of disparity in the coming week, and then have a two-week break as the international break begins again.

In midweek, in the third round of the League Cup in League One and the Premier League, Notts County used a squad of one and a half substitutes, half reserves, plus two Academy players to comfortably beat last season's League One opponents Burnley and qualified for the next round without any suspense.

However, for Notts County, this season's League Cup is definitely a chicken rib nature, even if Notts County's squad thickness is stronger than last season, but they are not willing to spend more energy in the League Cup, so Loew's arrangement is to use a second-tier squad to play, to what extent is the extent of play, anyway, the gold content of the League Cup can't even catch up with the FA Cup!

Ramos has been training with the first team, although he has almost no chance to play, and even the chance of being in the squad is very rare, usually only playing with the development team, but when he really gets on the field, he can clearly feel his progress, and Loew has begun to worry about how to allocate the playing time at right-back.

If you want to train Ramos, you must share the playing time between Lahm and Sagna, Lahm is the absolute main force, and important games need to rely on his dominance on the wing, and in this way, you can only say sorry to Sagna.

Although Loew also doesn't want to do this, maybe Ramos can be loaned out in the winter transfer window, but now, I'm afraid it can only be like this.

And Javi Martinez has the style of a big man in the defensive midfield position, even if he can't compare with Mascherano in details, but his excellent physical condition allows him to better control the ball in the air, which is very important for Notts County.

Loew is very optimistic about the future of the two players, or rather, he is optimistic about the future of all the young players in the Notts County Academy, but sometimes it is not a good thing to have more resources, especially for a manager, he is about to have a choice disorder, and yesterday when he went to the supermarket, he struggled for a long time to buy lamb or beef

In the next league, Notts County won Bolton Wanderers bloodlessly, without giving Arsenal and other teams the opportunity to narrow the points or even overtake, and Notts County's stability even made Arsenal feel helpless and discouraged.

After these two games, the Premier League game was suspended, and the international players were called up by the national teams to play for the country with honor, while the players who were not lucky enough to be selected for the national team could only sigh secretly and stay at the club to recuperate.

But a little more than a week later, when several internationals returned to the team, Loew's face was gloomy, thicker than the clouds in the sky.

There's no way, who can be happy to see the healthy and healthy international players who go out, but half of them are limping when they come back?

Deco suffered a muscle strain, out of action for two weeks;

Sneijder suffered a muscle strain and was sidelined for three weeks;

Lescott has a broken nose bone, and although she can play with a protective mask, she still needs to recuperate for a while if she is cautious;

Robben fractured his phalanges and was out of action for 2-3 months;

Coupled with the fact that several other players had some muscle discomfort, the two weeks of international break not only did not give the players the rest they deserved, but instead sent half of the team directly to the injury list.

It's no wonder that Loew is going crazy.

"It would have been nice to stop the players from being called up by the national team, and now only half of the players in the first team are able to train normally, let alone the game, oh my God, the FIFA virus is just terrifying!" As soon as Loew finished training, he came to David to complain.

Of course, Loew also knows that it is impossible to stop the players from playing for their country, whether from the perspective of the player or the club, this is unrealistic, and if it is not done well, it will affect the player's sense of belonging to the club.

But he still couldn't swallow this breath, he was alive and kicking when he went, but when he came back, they all became injured and sick, and the national teams didn't even apologize at all, as if this was a matter of course!

This attitude is a bit unbearable for Loew.

"I said man, it's useless for you to complain to me, if I were a player and the national team could call me up, I would definitely not care about anything, this is a great honor, how can the players refuse?" David is also scratching his head about this, this is a very contradictory proposition, if there is no game between the national teams, then there will not be so many contradictions, but is that reality?

"Let's think about how to deal with the next stage of the game, in fact, we have a good reserve of players, not considering a few injured players, as long as those international players who are not in good physical condition take a break, then it will not take long to be able to regain their combat effectiveness, so in this way, maybe there will be a shortage of personnel in a certain position, but the overall is still acceptable." David pondered it carefully and said slowly.

Loew also understands what David means, removing four players who need to recuperate, there are still 20 players in the first team, plus two youth players who have initially had combat effectiveness, it really has little impact on the overall strength, plus some players have the ability to play several positions, so there is no need to worry about a big decline in strength.

Of course, there are still influences, at least Loew has fewer cards in his hand, and most importantly, Deco's injury has had a great impact on Notts County's tactical play, and he and Alonso form a double back that tops the Premier League in terms of control, although Notts County have not yet met the giants of other leagues, but the midfield combination of any team will not be left behind.

Now that Deco is unavailable, it seems that Notts County's midfield is back to the same configuration as last season, and if anyone gets injured again, Loew won't even have a replacement.

Another annoying point is that Notts County will need to face the German team Schalke 04 next, Notts County lost the game away from home, and must win it back at home, otherwise the defending champions of the UEFA Cup will be eliminated!

"Okay, my Mr. President, but I have to go to the academy to have a look, I always feel that there are fewer soldiers under my hands, I hope there are still geniuses under Rick Link who can skip grades, at least I have to borrow it for two days!" Loew shrugged helplessly, leaving David's office and heading straight for the Academy. (To be continued.) )
