Chapter 299: The Great Trend of the Premier League
Before the start of the new season, Notts County conducted targeted training on the problems exposed by several warm-up games, and then played two warm-up games in London to prepare for the new season.
Before the start of the new season, the media naturally started their own formations, predicted the situation of the Premier League this season, and made a tour of the Premier League team.
Perhaps many ordinary fans will have a keen interest in these reports and form their own judgments based on media analysis, but for true professionals, this is nonsense.
And all kinds of media are crooked goods, for example, the "Guardian" is very sure that Manchester United will successfully defend the title, and Arsenal can only follow Manchester United's ass to eat ashes, because "The Guardian" is the local media from Manchester; The Echo, on the other hand, supported Liverpool's revival and completed the dynasty with a big belly, because The Echo was Liverpool's local media.
As for some national media from London, most of them are optimistic about Arsenal winning the title, and a few are optimistic about Chelsea.
Anyway, the media is in an uproar, and it is even more fierce than the fans who support the teams.
However, if you look at it on the whole, everyone's grasp of the situation of the Premier League is still very predictable, and even the real inner thoughts are simply consensus.
The first is the championship team, which can be described as the Five Tigers Roaring Mountain Forest.
Manchester United, as the defending champions, are definitely the favourites to win the title. Although the actions in the transfer market are quite incomprehensible, and Shuangbei is let go, but no comparable level of stars are introduced.
watched Liverpool snatch Colwill, Chelsea kidnapped Duff, and even Ronaldo, who almost got his hands, was robbed by Barcelona halfway. But in the end, he bought Xiao Xiaoluo in a hurry, and everyone didn't see where he was worth the price for the time being.
However, Manchester United have championship genes, and Ferguson is also very good at putting together players who are not first-class to form a very fighting army, and there is no reason for them to give up on the title race.
Arsenal are regarded as Manchester United's biggest challengers, although Arsenal has not made a particularly big move this season, only for the squad to be appropriately not strong, however, the renewal of Vieira and Pire's and others is the real biggest benefit, is the basis for their stable results.
Liverpool and Newcastle, two traditional giants, have not made major transfer moves, but they must not be ignored because of their rich heritage, and they are also considered strong contenders for the title.
And among the champions, Chelsea is bound to be the most talked-about team in the new season.
Roman Abramovich's arrival has given the Blues a new look and brought unforeseen changes to the Premier League.
The more than 100 million pounds he spent on the transfer market have given small and medium-sized clubs the funds to expand their roster, and Italy coach Ranieri has also got the players he needs, and a number of top stars such as Veron and Crespo are impressed by the Blues in the new season.
Having already qualified for the Champions League in the top four last season, it would be all the more logical for Chelsea to go further this season, and it would not be too surprising even if the Blues were to win the league title outright, given the strength of their squad.
These five teams make up the champions, and behind them, there are mid-table teams competing for UEFA Cup qualification and no desire.
Notts County is predicted to be in this tier, less than the top, more than the bottom, no hope of winning the championship, no relegation, the largest group in the Premier League.
And in this bracket, there are also seven clubs such as Tottenham, Everton, Southampton, Blackburn, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Leeds United.
Tottenham are the biggest contributor of the mid-table eight, with the departure of Sheringham leaving Keane without a striker partner. The £11.2 million cost of Portuguese youngster Postiga, West Ham United striker Canute and Brighton striker Zamora has left even the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United in the dust.
Tottenham's big investment is naturally aiming for a place in the UEFA Cup, and as for the real rush to the champions, it is still impossible to do so with their squad.
As for the other teams, there is nothing particularly worth writing about, and being able to be in the middle of the Premier League table can already prove their quality.
The only thing worth mentioning is that Leeds United's blooming white rose has now entered a withering period, and the club's difficult operation makes everyone regret it.
Only David knew that the former Young Praetorian Guard would soon lose its glory due to financial problems, and eventually be relegated to the lower leagues, never to rise again.
As for the remaining seven teams, they formed a relegation team, including two League One teams promoted to the Premier League at the same time as Notts County, Portsmouth and Leicester City.
It may be the same, but it is the common perception of all football professionals that even if a team may become a dark horse, it will not change the general trend of the Premier League.
David just smiled when he saw similar reports, and he didn't care much, they deceived children and ordinary fans, but when it came to the critical moment, it was not good.
Is Notts County just fighting for a League Cup spot?
It's obviously!
David has only one goal, and that is to win the Premier League.
After two seasons of grinding and training, Notts County's squad has not fully reached its peak, but it is ready to go head-to-head with any big club, and even if the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world, he is confident that he can perform a Kaiserslautern miracle.
Admittedly, Notts County have all kinds of shortcomings, lack of experience, players are prone to fluctuations, etc., but Notts County also have an advantage that no one else has, and that is Notts County's bench depth.
There are 38 rounds in the Premier League, and the teams that have the quality to compete for the league title have European responsibilities, while also taking into account domestic cup competitions, and can play close to 70 games at most in a season, which is definitely a very scary number.
David doesn't think that a player can play all the games without injury, even if you are an iron man, even if you have eight wastes, you will have become crippled long ago.
Moreover, the Premier League is the most physically competitive league, and player injuries are simply commonplace, and even a small half of the first team can be on the injury list at the same time.
This is where Notts County's advantages come into play, when others have a few substitutes, Notts County has also been on a few substitutes, but the strength has hardly decreased significantly, and others must not be directly dumbfounded!
This is the greatest confidence in David's desire to win the championship. (To be continued.) )
