The Trent Cup is not without revenue, the commercial department of Notts County has found a dedicated sponsor for the event, and the broadcast rights have been sold for a good price, and in the end the clubs have also made considerable gains, although it is not comparable to commercial training, but there is still a profit in the high-quality warm-up, and everyone is very satisfied.

After the Trent Cup, Notts County warmed up with two more Championship teams before the season, focusing on tactics, and then the new season is finally coming.

On 14 August, Notts County host Chelsea in the first round of the league.

The FA's fixture schedule is also nobody, and for some reason, last season's champions and runners-up will meet directly in the first round of the league, which is really a bit elusive.

In David's view, such a peak duel should be placed around Christmas and in the final sprint stage of the league, so that it can be exciting and exciting, and the league has just met at the beginning, and everyone has not really entered the state, where is the game exciting?

Perhaps only the FA with a donkey kick in the head could do such an inexplicable thing!

However, before the league begins, Notts County still have an official game to play, and that is the traditional Community Shield in England.

As last season's Premier League champions, Notts County will play in the Community Shield, and Notts County's opponent is Arsenal, who won the FA Cup, I don't know if David remembers wrongly, last season's FA Cup championship seems to be a sad start for Arsenal, and then fell into an embarrassing situation of 7 or 8 years without a championship, which is really regrettable.

With the rise of Xiaofa, Wenger believes that Cesc Fabregas can make up for Vieira's lack of creativity, and Gilberto can better complete the defensive task, although it turns out that they are all doing well, but technical awareness can be honed and even accelerated, and mental quality and fighting temperament are definitely not formed in a day or two.

Before the soul of Vieira's generation was passed on to the next, he was gone, and then Arsenal was left without a title!

Perhaps Arsene Wenger hadn't realised it yet, and by the time he did, it was too late!

If Arsenal had a Patrick Vieira to hold up their backbone, now, neither Junior Law nor Gilberto Silva can do that.

David didn't want to comment on what Wenger was right or wrong, the results would tell.

Before the Community Shield, no one had spoken of the once formidable curse of fear: the winner of the Community Shield lost the league title.

Prior to last season, there was a strange record from the start of the 96-97 season that the team that won the Community Shield could not win the title among the teams.

However, Notts County broke that spell last season by beating Manchester United in the Community Shield and defending their Premier League title, and Notts County were the ones who broke the rules.

So it doesn't make any sense to mention the spell at this time, especially in front of Notts County.

Before the game, Arsenal's players frequently made bold statements in interviews, but everyone obviously felt that they were not confident enough, and they seemed to be cheering themselves up loudly.

Flamini, who Wenger sees as one of Vieira's successors, said: "We will definitely recover from the trauma of losing Patrick Vieira. No matter what weapons we have, we will fight Notts County to the end. ”

And Bergkamp, Arsenal's ice prince, also said: "Without Patrick Vieira, we won the game. Our young people, we still have hope of winning the title without Vieira. ”

Bergkamp's words are not overblown, as Arsenal showed good form last week by winning the Amsterdam Football Invitational without Patrick Vieira and the likes of Porto and Ajax.

However, it is useless for them to say more, neither the media nor the fans are too optimistic that Arsenal can beat Notts County, as evidenced by the bookmakers' handicaps, because the odds for Notts County to win are only 1.28, which is difficult to see in a match between two big teams, and even this kind of odds give the feeling that the two teams are not on the same level.

As it turned out, most people were wise, and Arsenal, who had lost Patrick Vieira, were almost unable to resist on the pitch!

The three players in the middle of Notts County's midfield were able to control the situation in midfield, and the layers of pressing attacks left Arsenal with little resistance, and the limited counter-attacks were stillborn under Notts County's tight defense.

Cesc Fabregas, who was pinned on by Arsene Wenger, did nothing in front of Notts County's formidable midfield, and Arsenal, who were paralyzed in midfield, simply had no confidence to confront Notts County.

At the end of the first half, Notts County had a two-goal lead, and after Robben scored another goal in the second half, Loew simply replaced three players at once, as if the game was a drill!

Arsenal is very angry and helpless, but there is no way, who makes them unable to even cause too much trouble for Notts County!

In the end, Notts County lifted the Community Shield without any suspense, and the expected close match did not appear, more like a battle between Notts County and the teams in the middle and lower leagues.

Notts County's technical and tactical system is very mature, the players are very familiar with it, and some new signings are trying to integrate into the team, and the strength is not bad compared to last season, although it is not at its best.

On the other hand, Arsenal, after losing Vieira, the midfield was unbalanced, and the main defender Gilberto Silva was absent due to injury, Flamini, who replaced him, did not perform well, and they could not take advantage of the midfield competition with Notts County.

If the midfield is not strong, don't think about being able to take advantage, and in the end, Henry is also difficult to support in the front court, and the defeat is not without much suspense, which seems to be more reasonable.

There is no celebration of Notts County's victory, although this championship has made the Magpies' new season a good start, but this kind of chicken rib competition, in fact, is not much more important than the warm-up game, to do more is to add an inconsequential trophy to the honor room, such a trophy, Notts County already has one.

However, with the arrival of Xiao Xiao Luo and the adjustment and reinforcement of the Notts County lineup, David has a lot of ambitions.

Could Notts County also have a real title of honour for several crowns?

Barcelona at the peak of their previous life had the feat of six crowns and won all the titles they could, so can Notts County also come once?

Notts County will be able to participate in one more tournament than Barcelona, which means that if Notts County can win all the titles they can win this season, then Notts County will become an unprecedented seven-time champion.

Sounds so exciting! (To be continued.) )
