The league title is in the bag, and Loew has decided to give the four Academy players more chances in the upcoming league games, while the main players will have to turn their energies to two important cup competitions.

However, in the fourth round of the League Cup, Notts County will face Bournemouth at home, and the opponent is only a relegation team in League One, so there is really no need to make a big move, so Loew still decided to send a rotating squad and a youth squad, which is enough to win the game.

Notts County had no intention of making a big move, but their opponents didn't seem to want to give up.

In an interview before the game, the Bournemouth coach praised Notts County as a strong team, and his team may not be able to beat Notts County, so the result of this game is doomed, and the effect of serious and non-serious play is the same, Bournemouth will send substitutes and even reserves to participate in this game, and their main squad will prepare for the next league and strive to get out of the relegation circle as soon as possible.

As soon as the Bournemouth manager's words came out, they immediately attracted criticism from the fans of his team.

It's okay if the strength is not enough, as long as you do your best, there is no regret if you lose.

But you give up without even kicking, and become a deserter like a turtle with a shrunken head, what's the matter with Nima.

They can tolerate the team's poor results, and they don't particularly blame the manager, but now it seems that such a manager can still lead the team to revival?

Don't talk nonsense!

As a result, the fans' calls for the Bournemouth manager to step down have skyrocketed, and the club is about to be trampled into rubble.

Under pressure, the club's president warned the manager, hoping that he would be able to control his words and focus more on the game rather than showing weakness before the game.

The Bournemouth coach really wanted to cry without tears, he just wanted to put a smoke bomb, why didn't anyone cooperate with him!

The players also understand the manager's pain, the coach just wants to confuse Notts County, if Notts County can be fooled and directly sent the reserve team to the field, then Bournemouth's hope of promotion will be greatly increased, even if it is like sending four youth team players in the league, they are not without opportunities, it is better than directly facing the main squad that is not inferior to the Premier League team in the mouth of the media!

However, his strategy was ruined by his own people, and there was no way, the Bournemouth boss could only clarify that he would send the main lineup in the game to fight with all his might.

Although this result satisfied the fans, it put the team in an embarrassing situation.

Although the squad sent by Notts County is not a first-team team, it is also a rotation player, plus the team's third goalkeeper Joe Hart, even if this squad is not as strong as the main lineup, it is definitely not bad, if the whole is handed over to another League One team, I am afraid that this League One team will also have the strength to impact the Premier League.

In the end, Notts County comfortably beat Bournemouth's league rivals and made it to the fifth round of the FA Cup without much effort.

The season has entered the sprint stage, and even if the situation is good, Notts County will need to tense their nerves and try not to make mistakes.

However, to Loew's delight, one of the players in the first team seems to have opened his mind, and his performances in recent games have been so impressive that he can be trusted as if he were a thigh.

That player is the team's regular striker Sneijder.

Sneijder was just a substitute at the start of the last game, as he was also joined by Missy, a young player from Bayern's academy.

However, before the first half of the season, Sneijder completed the snatch of power, successfully stepped into the position and pressed Missy on the bench, which was the main reason for Missy's departure at the end of the season.

Sneijder has been even more outstanding this season, growing extremely quickly and has become one of the team's key points of attack.

However, what is not quite fair to him is that sometimes in the face of strong opponents, Loew will use a four-three-three formation instead of a full-time striker, so that there is no place for him in the starting line-up.

Although Sneijder can also drop back to play the position of the midfielder, but away from the danger zone and the goal, it makes his threat greatly reduced, and he does not shine at all when he plays the front midfield, so more often it is Mascherano who plays with Alonso and Meireles in the back three, because Mascherano can further liberate Alonso and Meireles with a strong defense, and the three complement each other.

So, Sneijder's position in the team is a bit awkward.

However, in recent times, Sneijder has surprised everyone with his best performance.

Many times before, it was generally believed that the most outstanding players in the Notts County team were two players, one was Villa who attacked the city in front, and the other was midfielder Iniesta, although in the eyes of professionals, Alonso played the greatest role, but there was no way, the captain who was far away from the goal was more on the field to sit and work before and behind the scenes.

But now, Sneijder's stunning performances have overshadowed both Villa and Iniesta.

With two goals and five assists in four appearances in January, Sneijder would undoubtedly be elected with a high vote if there is an official selection for the League One MVP of the month.

With abundant attack points, Notts County's attack power is naturally strong, and it is best if every player in the front field has super combat ability, so that Notts County will be invincible.

But this is obviously not possible.

Sneijder's explosive form has undoubtedly made Loew more confident in the next games, as long as he can maintain his form, then every opponent behind him will have a headache.

In the next fifth round of the FA Cup, Loew is very serious, because the opponent is from the Premier League, the Blues Chelsea.

Chelsea were already showing signs of a resurgence last season, and while Bates' high debt management left the club's finances dire, it was undeniably a success.

They can play in the UEFA Cup this season, and if David remembers correctly, this season, under the leadership of the tinker, the Blues will finish in the top four of the table and further secure a Champions League spot, which is enough to show the strength of Chelsea.

In preparation for this important FA Cup, Loew's line-up in the previous two League One games was entirely based on the physical condition of the players, and with the addition of four Academy players, although they won one and drew one, they left plenty of fitness to face Chelsea.

Having already beaten Chelsea once last season, this time around, there is no reason for Notts County to lose.

If you want to win the FA Cup, Chelsea is just the first obstacle, Notts County has prepared three bowls of unsatisfactory liquor, after drinking, it is time to go up the mountain to fight the tiger! (To be continued.) )
