Chapter 114: Three Matches
Because of the help of Notts County, although the losing Mansfield has lost the initiative in the fight for the promotion play-offs, but at least they have not fallen behind, their hopes still fall on Notts County, because as long as Mansfield wins the opponent in the final round, and Notts County can also respect sportsmanship to defeat Stoke City, then Mansfield will overtake Stoke City and obtain a hard-won promotion play-off qualification.
At this time, the Notts County fans were all arrogant when they met Mansfield fans on the street, and they almost didn't say directly: "Come and kneel and lick, otherwise we will deliberately lose and let you watch others play the promotion play-offs!" ”
Mansfield fans face their rivals in the same city, but they don't have the courage to care, because their fate is in the hands of others, and they can't be tough if they want to!
Many people have scolded the Pozzo family from Italy over and over again, "Ya is also an acquisition, why can't you be as generous as next door, just get a batch of semi-finished products that can't play in Serie A, it's useless, and in the end, it's not even the play-off area!" ”
They are already extremely envious of Notts County, envying them for having a chairman who is willing to spend money and knows the rules of the game.
The final round of League Two is exciting, except for the championship, the suspense of the promotion play-offs and relegation has not yet been revealed, and the whole league has been in chaos.
David doesn't pay much attention to other clubs, he just wants to know that Mansfield of the Pozzo family can make a difference in the end, anyway, he doesn't want to see this scene, whether from the perspective of the sworn enemy in the same city, or Pozzo's unscrupulous superiority in front of him, David wants to see this kind of person unlucky, this is the best revenge.
However, he naturally will not let the team deliberately lose, this is definitely not what a future giants should do, Notts County should have their own bottom line, and the consciousness of the future giants.
It's as if now, manager Loew's almost pleading gesture in the face of Mansfield is simply ignored, because he will never do anything to lose his identity, deliberately lose, which is definitely not what Notts County should do.
Before the final round, Ginopozo gave frequent interviews, repeatedly mentioning sportsmanship, hoping to put pressure on Notts County in this way, although Notts County took most of the strength to defeat the opponent in the penultimate round, but who dares to guarantee that the Magpies will not stab Mansfield from behind at the most critical moment!
In desperation, many Mansfield fans gathered outside the gates of the Notts County club, waving banners, sincerely hoping that Notts County could show their real strength in the final game and would not deliberately create obstacles for the local team.
David couldn't be angry with such adorable fans, even though they weren't Notts County fans.
'Notts County will give it their all in the final game, but I would say that you can't always rely on someone else to qualify for the promotion play-offs, and if Mansfield don't show the courage and the fighting spirit to never give up, it's no use saying anything!' When David faced the media, he was loud.
Hearing David's statement, Mansfield breathed a sigh of relief from top to bottom, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart.
"It's so high-sounding, we can't take a desireless Vegambi? You just need to take Stoke City, and you don't have to worry about anything else! ”
This is the psychological thinking of Mansfield fans.
David didn't know what the sworn enemy fans thought, and if he knew, he was afraid that there would really be an evil fire, and maybe Loew would give up the game directly.
The final round of 12 league games starts at the same time, with Notts County away at Stoke City and Mansfield Town hosting Wagembie.
Mansfield fans have become the most tired at home because they have to follow three games at the same time and are busy.
In your own team's game, the team has to win, that's the foundation.
Notts County vs Stoke City, and if Notts County win or draw against Stoke City, then Mansfield will surpass Stoke City in points and qualify for the promotion play-offs.
The other game to watch out for is Brentford vs. Swindon, and even if Notts County let Stoke City go, Mansfield could still qualify for the promotion play-offs if Brentford can't beat Swindon.
It sounds easy, but in reality the last two games are things that Mansfield can't grasp.
This is the sadness that the initiative is not in one's own hands.
After the competition started at the same time, the gripping process and results also began.
It was Mansfield who scored first, and they were desperate to secure a place in the play-offs, and they overwhelmed their opponents early on and quickly took the lead.
Mansfield fans were moved to tears when they saw this scene, hugging the fans around them tightly and celebrating the team's lead.
But as fate would have it, Mansfield didn't have long to take the lead, with goals in the other two games.
Notts County trail Stoke City away;
Brentford lead Swindon;
If there is no change in the score until the end of the three games, then Mansfield will not qualify for the promotion play-offs at all!
This is by no means the result they want to see!
All the Mansfield fans in the stands were dumbfounded, and at this moment, they felt like the whole world had abandoned them!
Even if they worked hard to get the score, so what?
The initiative is in the hands of others, and if others want you to die, you can't live!
The reality is so cruel!
All the Mansfield fans were in despair, their expressions were as if they were walking in hell, and there was not a single sound of cheering in the whole stadium, because now it seems that if the other two games did not change, no matter how many goals Mansfield scored here, it would not be able to escape the fate of defeat.
Time flew by and the first half was over with no change in the scores of all three games.
When the Mansfield players entered the dressing room, they learned the results of the other two games, and the fighting spirit was lost for a while.
Who can stand this kind of contrast, if you score a lead, you may not have a chance, and no one will be able to boost morale!
With infinite reluctance, the Mansfield players started the second half of the game.
But that's far from the worst, as the results of the other two games could change at any time, and Mansfield could still come back to life, so they are still desperately attacking to at least make sure they win, otherwise everything will be in vain.
But fate is so fond of playing tricks, and not long after the start of the second half, Mansfield received a bolt from the blue.
Notts County are two goals behind;
Brentford have a two-goal lead!
