Originally, according to the plan, Notts County should have another game with the South Korean national team before the start of the season, but because the South Korean K-League is underway, they can only find a league break to come to England to play, so this warm-up game is placed after the Community Shield, and the Premier League is just before the start, which is the last warm-up game before the start of the new season.

Of course, not many people will take this unrelated warm-up game very seriously, except for David......

David has long wanted to teach the sticks a lesson, and even he is a little radical that there is no need for the existence of the stick country except for women.

However, the most important thing at the moment is the Community Shield against Manchester United, who lost to Manchester United last season, and even if this title is not very golden, Notts County still hope to get revenge and then give Notts County another trophy in the honor room, even if this trophy is destined to be placed in an inconspicuous corner, they also won it with their own hands.

Perhaps before, compared to the behemoth of Manchester United, Notts County was no different from the ants, but now, the situation seems to be reversed, no matter how you look at it, Notts County is stronger.

Last season was one of a slump for Manchester United, with Notts County having been by the side of Arsenal and Chelsea on their way to the title, but never found that United could pose any threat to them.

Although Manchester United has invested heavily in the introduction of Lu Xiaopang this season, it still can't change the imperfect configuration of the old and the young in the team, and the main lineup is still the least competitive among several giants, even if Ferguson is best at building an ordinary team into a team with a championship temperament, but the current situation in the Premier League is estimated to make him feel powerless.

Everyone is not optimistic that Notts County can defend the Premier League championship is based on the fact that the strength of Notts County's rotation squad has dropped significantly, but they have never denied Notts County's main lineup.

This season, Notts County's rivals are still Arsenal and Chelsea, not Manchester United!

If David remembers correctly, this season's Chelsea won the league title with a tough attitude under the helm of Jose Mourinho, and Arsenal could only catch up weakly, as for Manchester United, they withdrew from the competition early!

And the odds offered by the bookmakers before the game also prove this, and Manchester United are not favored.

Arriving in Wales two days early, the Notts County players had a night's rest before training the next day in preparation for the third night's game.

The Cardiff Millennium Stadium, the venue for England's most important season, is already familiar to Notts County players.

Perhaps no club will be more familiar with the venue than Notts County in a short period of time.

In League Two, Notts County won the League Cup, and it was at this venue that the final was played;

In League One, Notts County won the FA Cup, and the semi-finals and finals were also played at this venue;

In the Premier League season, although Notts County did not win the domestic cup competition, they played the Community Shield as the FA Cup champions;

That said, Notts County have entered the pitch four times in three seasons, and this time is the fifth.

So compared to other clubs, Notts County is clearly more familiar with the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff than any other club.

In the previous four games, Notts County only lost to Manchester United in the Community Shield last season, and also lost on penalties, and the so-called South Stand curse was also shattered twice by Notts County, which can be regarded as a blessed land for Notts County.

Perhaps it was the summer signings that gave Ferguson enough confidence, and in the pre-match press conference, the old man announced Manchester United's goal for this season, the Premier League and Champions League double.

As for this game, Lord Fu smiled slightly: "Since we were able to defeat Notts County here last season, then we have no reason to let Notts County leave happily today, you know, victory has inertia!" ”

But before Loew could frown and refute, the reporters in the audience had already helped him choke the old man.

"Manchester United were beaten by Notts County at the start of the league last season, so will Manchester United repeat the same mistake this season?"

One sentence made Ferguson's good mood disappear without a trace, and the press conference ended unhappily.

Manchester United fans are very supportive of their beloved old Scottish man and very much agree with Ferguson that this season is destined to be a season of revival for Manchester United.

Rooney's once-in-a-millennium genius has already been included in their pockets, who else can't be defeated?

You must know that Lu Xiaopang scored 4 goals in the European Championships in the summer, and even the defense of the European powerhouse was crushed by Lu Xiaopang, is there still a defense line in the Premier League that can limit Rooney?

With this kind of good expectation, or a strong hint of their own psychology, Manchester United fans began to look forward to this Community Shield match, and they hoped that the team could teach Notts County a hard lesson in the Community Shield like last season, and if they can beat Notts County, won't it prove that Manchester United is really going to revive again, you know, Notts County was the Premier League champion last season!

However, the hopes of Manchester United fans are doomed to fail, and Ferguson's goal for the new season was directly given a blow to Notts County, and after this game, Manchester United have calmed down from top to bottom.

In this game, Manchester United fielded the ideal line-up in Ferguson's mind, with Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy up front, only one position in central midfield changed, and new signing Heinze became the team's starting left-back, with the rest of the starting line-up exactly the same as last season's.

Manchester United getting stronger?

David doesn't think so!

Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy's David is not necessarily more attacking than Ruud van Nistelrooy with Scholes in front of him, and Heinze's inconsistent performance for a long time at Manchester United, coupled with Keane's sharp decline in physical condition, Manchester United can maintain last season's strength can be considered a complete achievement.

Although Notts County has replaced Iniesta and Westerman, the strength of Ribery and Lescott is not inferior, and the most important thing is that Notts County is full of young players, all of whom are in a period of rapid growth, far from reaching their peak form, and after another season of improvement, Notts County's starting strength can be described as steady and rising.

In such a comparison, even with the magic bonus of the old man, the gap between the strength of the two teams has not decreased, but has faintly widened. (To be continued.) )
