Chapter 11:-for-tat
Unlike the schadenfreude of the Nottingham Forest fans, the Notts County fans felt as if their hearts were dead, and they never imagined that the club would make such a stupid decision.
A few days ago, they were still happy that the team spent a huge transfer fee to buy the captain of the La Liga team, in their cognition, leaving the main team of last season, plus a few good reinforcements, then their hopes of rushing to the relegation in the new season will be greatly improved, if it goes well, maybe next season they will compete in League One like their rivals in the same city.
Teaching their sworn enemies a good lesson on the pitch is something they can't hope for for a decade.
But who would have thought that silently, the club's first team is gone, oh no, there is one more, that is the new transfer of Xavi Alonso.
But what about just having a La Liga-level player?
Is it really as the media has said that Alonso will play in League Two with a bunch of kids in the new season?
In that case, they would rather the team not spend a lot of money on Alonso, but instead spend that money on retaining the team's players.
Countless fans spontaneously protested, gathered at the door of the club's training base and office premises, and pulled banners in solidarity with the players they saw as having sweated countless times for the team but were not rewarded.
Standing in front of the window and looking at those persistent fans, David did not have the slightest sense of anger in his heart, the protests of the fans showed that they put the team in an important position in their hearts, if no one cares at all, then you can imagine how pitiful the team's presence is.
Although the fans were protesting, the methods were not radical at all, David asked the club staff to prepare parasols and cold drinks to relieve the heat, he could not let these lovely fans suffer under the scorching sun.
Maybe it would have been better for him to go downstairs and explain it to the fans, but he knew that this time it was definitely not that simple, and no amount of explanation from the club could have been effective.
After contacting Nottingham Evening News reporter and a loyal fan of the club, the two had a long conversation in David's studio.
The next day, the Nottingham Post published an article in which he continued to criticize and sneer at the Notts County club's behaviour, and even boldly predicted that Notts County, who had sold their entire first-team team, would secure a relegation spot early in September.
The Nottingham Evening News published several transfer news from Notts County.
120w euros to bring in young striker Kuyt from the Eredivisie;
30w euros to bring in striker Di Natale from Serie B teams;
50w euros to bring in striker Villa from La Liga team.
These three transfer news are like a direct slap in the face, making the Nottingham Post's mocking article look extremely stupid.
Notts County fans are happy, it seems that the team is not planning to use young players to play in the league in the new season, it is not that there is no action after cleaning the first team, no, three strikers have been brought in in in a row, each of which is worth a lot of money.
That's right, in League Two, the numbers at this level are really worth a lot.
Look at the three strikers introduced, the worst is also a player at the level of the five major leagues and the second division, which is much stronger than the strikers in the team's previous lineup.
Seeing the news of the Nottingham Evening News, the Nottingham Post was a little annoyed.
I don't post articles, and you don't announce transfer news over there; As soon as I posted an article criticizing it, you immediately announced the transfer news over there, isn't Nima just doing it with us, isn't this just a naked slap in the face!
No, where can this tone continue, this time even if the relationship with Nottingham Forest is not considered, the Nottingham Post intends to hack Notts County all the way to the end.
The next day, the Nottingham Post continued to publish a commentary article, with sharp words, pointing directly at the amateur transfer work of Notts County, to the effect that the results are not stacked with strikers, even if you buy three strikers, there are no good midfielders are all lofts in the air, no matter how much money you spend, even if you are a striker at the level of the five major leagues, there is no use for birds!
In the end, there was no escape from relegation, and Notts County was destined to go to the abyss.
Haven't you heard that sentence, whoever wins the midfielder wins the world!
I have to say that the Nottingham Post article still looks very reasonable.
Nottingham fans were delighted, and they loved to listen to anything that was sarcastic about their sworn rivals.
Notts County fans can't help but faintly worry that if it's really just a hoarding of strikers, then I'm afraid it really won't help the team.
Isn't Inter Milan the best example, President Moratti's hobby of hoarding good strikers is known all over the world, and all the team is the world's top strikers, but as a result, Inter's results are still not improving, and it has not been a year or two since the championship.
However, just one day later, Notts County and the Nottingham Evening News came out in the face again, this time, they announced the introduction of midfielders.
Andres Iniesta, Sneijder, Meireles, Ribery, Misimovic and Maggio, although each of them does not cost much in transfer fees, but they also add up to more than 250w euros, which is a transfer budget that most League Two teams cannot spend in a season.
Coupled with the previously announced Alonso, the team's midfield configuration for the new season has been neat, making the Nottingham Post article directly turn into bullshit.
Notts County fans are simply excited, not that they know this group of young players very well, the key focus is on potential, this group of players with an average age of less than 20 years old, is definitely the future of the team, even if it takes a season to train them, even if this season cannot be promoted, the fans are willing, there will be absolutely no complaints.
The Nottingham Post was once again dumbfounded, being slapped to the ground twice in a row, making them feel like they had no place to be ashamed, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Since Liang Zi has already settled on this issue, then there is only one way to go to the black, anyway, as a media, no matter what they say, it makes sense, if they don't hack Notts County and the "Nottingham Evening News", they will not give up.
So a day later, the Nottingham Post once again ran an article criticising Notts County's transfer strategy.
