Chapter 151: The main lineup of the new season
The matter spread quickly, and it was resolved just as quickly, because this time there was an official act in it.
The fact that philanthropists are distorted and stigmatized is no longer the result of a simple media blunder, but a serious problem that has the potential to affect the values of society as a whole.
After the press conference, the wind changed abruptly, and everyone criticized the unscrupulous media, and those who did not contribute to the situation in this time were fine, and the pressure on those who deliberately slandered and fell into the trap was too great, and for a time, the overall sales of newspapers in England almost fell by 20%.
As the center of European media, this figure is a bit too frightening, and if it is maintained, it means that countless people will lose their jobs.
What is even more shocking is yet to come, because of this incident, even Her Majesty the Queen came forward to endorse Notts County, and in public interviews, praised Notts County Club for its long history and strong sense of social responsibility, and is an excellent example of society.
Bad things turned into good things all of a sudden, and Notts County went from being a League One club with a little prestige in football to being a big spotlight.
The prestige boost is huge.
However, David didn't have much to be happy about, because this was not in line with his usual principles of life, and he preferred to win everyone's respect and love through his upright strength, rather than getting everyone's sympathy as a weak and wronged person.
However, in any case, the incident ended perfectly, the troublesome media was shut down, and the ban could not be lifted in a few months, although Leicester City, the most likely initiator, is still at large, but at least Notts County can face the upcoming league relatively calmly.
Wait, wait for the league to give you a good look!
After pre-season training and a few warm-up games, the main lineup in Loew's heart has been released, although the substitute strength is also not bad, but the focus will still be tilted.
On the forward line, the Italian veteran Hubnel has stepped down from the main position because of age and physical fitness, but the Italian veteran is not so disappointed, after all, with his age, he should have retired a long time ago, and now he will give more opportunities to young people, while he will maintain his condition and enjoy football, which is not bad.
And the club has also promised that when Hubnell retires, he will directly join the coaching staff and continue to contribute to Notts County, which gives him at least a lifelong guarantee for the carpenter.
I've been playing in the lower leagues before, and I can make a few bucks, although I got a lot of salary bonuses in Notts County last season, but after all, the time is too short, and I can't live on this for a lifetime.
Now, after joining the coaching staff, not only do you not have to leave the football career you love, but you can also have some security for your life, and Hubnell has no worries at all.
Of course, David is still very apologetic for Hubner, after all, it is equivalent to taking away the supreme honor of the Serie A Golden Boot that should belong to the Italian veteran, so David intends to keep him in Notts County after Hubner's retirement is more likely to consider compensating him, of course, if Hubnell is capable, then it is not impossible for the management of the club to enter the club in the future.
In the midfield position, the main force has basically not changed, but the new signing Mascherano has given the coaching staff a big surprise.
Originally, Alonso and Meireles were a two-man midfield partnership that was both offensive and defensive, but Alonso focused on playmaking, and Meireles as a support, although both have good defensive ability, but they will not exist as full-time defenders.
The substitute Altentop has a similar style to Meireles, and is not simply defensive at the back.
Therefore, although the Notts County midfield position was rich last season, it did not have the possibility of many changes.
However, the arrival of Mascherano has completely changed this awkward situation, and although David knows that the younger brother will also have some playmaking skills in the future, the young lad is now completely a purely defensive midfielder.
With him on board, Loew can make all sorts of changes in midfield that will create different chemistry for the whole team.
In Loew's words, Little Pony's defensive awareness is simply innate, excellent physical condition, wide sweeping, and department-like tackles are enough to make Notts County's midfield defense go up a notch and make a qualitative change.
Loew already knows how to use this player with the same characteristics as a midfield beast.
Regardless of rotation, in the league, Notts County have the strength, and Alonso and Gamereles partner in the back and control the situation.
In the UEFA Cup, there will be more emphasis on defence, and at this time Alonso will start with Mascherano.
Of course, there is also the possibility that the three midfielders will come out together in a formation of three midfielders.
And on the back line, there hasn't been much change.
Grosso's departure has made Leiton Baines a starting choice at left-back, but new signing Abidal has the strength to threaten his starting criteria.
Although the new right-back Sagna is in excellent physical condition and has good skills, he is still a little inexperienced and cannot threaten Lahm's position, and this position is also the position with the largest gap between the main force and the substitute in Notts County.
However, Loew is already satisfied, good right-backs are not easy to find, and there are only a few top ones in the world, and they are not easy for Notts County to poach.
It seems that the French teenager Sania needs to be trained more in the league, and if he can't mature as soon as possible, I'm afraid this will really become a weak link for Notts County.
Thinking of this, Loew naturally thought of Ramos in the Notts County Academy, the Spanish youngster brought back by David in the summer, but a potential new star in the right-back position, as long as he maintains the current growth rate, then there must be a place for him in the first team next season, and he does not need to worry about the weakness of this position.
However, the goalkeeper position has never made Loew very satisfied, although no matter the strength of Diego Lopes and Ben Foster, let alone dealing with the English League and the League Cup, or playing in the Premier League, I am afraid that he can also be at ease.
However, compared to the potential of other positions, Loew feels that it will be difficult for these two goalkeepers to reach the top level in the world in the future, and they can stand on a strong team, but they are not too likely to become the goalkeepers of the giants.
It may not be obvious now, but in the future, if Notts County wants to dominate Europe, they will inevitably have to make a fuss in the goalkeeper position.
