After being eliminated from the FA Cup, Notts County have only two competitions this season, the Premier League and the Champions League, and the upcoming fixtures are undoubtedly much better than the other giants, but there is a big question mark over whether Notts County can continue to be in strong form. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With seven players in the Notts County squad on the sidelines, the rotation is stretched thin, and there is no way to face many challengers in one form.

In the past few seasons, Notts County have also suffered injury crises, but most of them are individual positions, and there have been almost no injuries as this season, and I am afraid that in the eyes of many people, Notts County has no experience in dealing with this kind of injury crisis.

The winter transfer window has closed and Notts County have no way to find a solution from the transfer market and can only rely on the output of the Academy.

Although the young players in the Academy have had a lot of first-team opportunities this season, and they have shown enough experience in the League Cup, FA Cup and even the Premier League and Champions League, they are not really ready to take on the role.

As a result, with a crippled squad, Notts County may not be able to continue to be strong, and the best thing to do is to give up one of the competitions, which seems more secure.

In the last league game before the start of the Champions League knockout round, Notts County lined up most of their main team, facing Sunderland away, pressing the opponent all over the field, playing wave after wave of attacking climax, maybe Notts County are now facing unimaginable difficulties, but it is not Sunderland can do it.

With 26 league games played, Notts County are 16 points ahead of second-placed Chelsea, 18 points ahead of third-placed Tottenham, and Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all 20 points ahead.

In the eyes of many, this score is enough to guarantee Notts County a return to the Premier League title, and with 12 rounds remaining, no one can take the league title unless Notts County collapses on their own.

Of course, Notts County is not without the possibility of collapse, if Notts County adds a few more generals to the injury list, then even the gods and Buddhas will not be able to save Notts County.

Chelsea coach Jurgen Klinsmann is playing psychological warfare in a way that he is not very good at, maybe he wants to emulate the miracle of Ferguson leading Manchester United to reverse Newcastle, maybe Chelsea is more resilient than Manchester United, but the Magpie of Notts County is different from the Magpie of Newcastle, Notts County never accepts being reversed!

Although Klinsmann is not dead, but Ferguson and Wenger and others are more pragmatic, since the rise of Notts County, a few seasons down, they have been well aware of the terrible Notts County, so he still has to focus on the goal of competing for the Champions League places, in the case of poor strength, it is reasonable to set goals that match the strength.

The knockout round of 16 of the Champions League officially kicked off, with Notts County away to Lyon, the true Ligue 1 giants.

Rarely in the history of football has a team been able to maintain such a level of dominance over a league in a single period, even in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, who have never won the league title in six consecutive seasons, but Lyon has done so.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Ligue 1 is ranked last in the five major leagues under the competitiveness, but it is undeniable that it still belongs to the five major leagues and is still more attractive than the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League behind it.

And Lyon's ability to maintain such a degree of dominance over Ligue 1 shows that its strength is by no means as fish belly as everyone imagined.

Perhaps only inferior to a few of the top giants, other strong teams will definitely have a headache when they meet Lyon in the Champions League, and look at the hapless Real Madrid, who have overturned in the gutter on Lyon several times.

As a star output factory, that is, the legendary black shop, Lyon has gained a lot of money just by selling stars in a few seasons, and the team still maintains a strong competitiveness, which is really not something that anyone dares to underestimate.

David doesn't think that Notts County can let go of Lyon, even if Notts County goes all out, I'm afraid Lyon still has the ability to cause some small problems for Notts County.

If you simply compete for the value of players, then Lyon can be ranked in the top ten in Europe, except for the giants in various leagues, Lyon's squad is the strongest.

With Squeeracci, who won the Champions League with Monaco at centre-back, Grosso at left-back, and centre-back Boumsson and right-back Claire are also well-known players, this defence has the strength to stand alone.

In midfield, led by the most low-key playmaker Juninho and paired with defensive titan Tulalang, the duo dominated a midfield that was able to keep the opposition at bay against most opponents.

The wingers were the team's hero Govu and Karlström, who later played for Arsenal, and the combination was very lethal.

The two strikers are the famous top center forward Benzema and the main striker Fred of the five-star Brazil, with these two sharp knives, Lyon's ability to attack the city is beyond doubt.

And on the bench there is also Ben Alpha, who is more famous than Benzema now, to be made, in France's 87 four less, although Benzema has the greatest achievement, but so far, it is Ben Alpha who is more eye-catching.

With such a strong and tacit team, even if it wins the Premier League, it will be able to compete with the Premier League BIG6, and there is still a chance to compete for at least one Champions League place.

Heynckes naturally would not underestimate such a Ligue 1 giant, so Notts County still made serious preparations before the game and would not be careless.

It was still after the match against Sunderland that the whole team rushed to France, and in order to make up the 18-man squad, even De Bruyne in the academy was lucky to follow the whole team to France.

Because the Notts players have always had a very good relationship, even after they left, it seems to have become a tradition for Grosso to invite a few of his former team-mates to dinner after Notts County arrived in France.

However, Grosso left Notts County too early, returning to Italy before Notts County was promoted to the Premier League, and he still feels extremely sorry for the glory days of Notts County.

And now in the Notts County team, there are not many players who have been teammates with Grosso, and there are only Alonso and Villa, and the rest of the old courtiers have found their own homes.

In summary, it seems that not many of Notts County's first players have really reached the top level, with Hubnel retiring, Altentop barely being a first-class star, and Misimovic not reaching the heights everyone expected......

Perhaps it was only after the first players that Notts County began to become a cradle of stars.
