Chapter 716: The Second European Super Cup
Old Pozzo and Little Pozzo, one in Udine, Italy, and the other in Nottingham, England, are thousands of miles away but they are doing the same thing - smashing glasses, they are really of the same blood, and they don't have to worry about the unusual relationship between Little Pozzo and the old king next door.

Udinese are not an established powerhouse in Serie A, and although they have a long history, they have not won a single Italian top flight title.
Udinese were in good form last season, finishing fourth in the league and reaching the group stage of the Champions League round of 32 through the Champions League play-offs, which has already allowed Udinese to make a lot of money!
Before the grouping, the Pozzo father and son still had ambitions to go further in the Champions League.
Although the teams in the first pot are all top giants, the second and third teams are not necessarily strong teams, and as long as they are lucky, then Udinese may not have a chance to qualify from the group.
But how could I have imagined that I was unlucky enough to be in the same group as Notts County, and I didn't even need to think about who the other two teams were, and I could already declare Udinese out of the group!
Quite simply, as long as Notts County beat Udinese twice and then casually release water to a club, Udinese will have no chance of qualifying at all.
Can Notts County double Udinese?
Any pseudo-fan can give the answer!
Yes!
This is not the end, with the revenge style of Notts County, Mansfield was once pressed by Notts County in the League Two and could not be promoted, and every time they met, it was a bloodbath with a big score!
Now that Udinese has met Notts County, I'm afraid it won't be able to escape the fate of being washed in blood, right?
If they could choose again, then Pozzo and his son would never have forced David so hard five years ago!
Don't say anything too late now!

While the rest of the Premier League are in the third round, Notts County have returned to Monaco for the UEFA Super Cup.
This is the second time Notts County have come to Monaco to play the Super Cup, but the last time Notts County played as Champions League champions AC Milan, and in the end of the season they won the Champions League with a strong strength and won the Champions League trophy again in the Champions League final at the end of the season.
This time, Notts County are Champions League winners and will face last season's UEFA Cup winners CSKA Moscow.
Speaking of which, the Russian club is inextricably linked to Chelsea owner Abu, whose only connection to football before the takeover was CSKA, whose oil company is the main sponsor of CSKA and who spent €54 million on the team last season.
Abu's relationship with CSKA almost affected the two teams' participation in the Champions League, when Chelsea and CSKA were placed in the same group during the group stage draw, and UEFA subsequently launched an investigation into Abu to find out whether Abu controlled CSKA behind the scenes.
CSKA were knocked out in the final round of the Champions League group stage last season, but the Champions League exit made CSKA history, with a win in the UEFA Cup that made them national heroes for the first time for Russia.
If you look at the team lineup, CSKA Moscow is not so dazzling, at least David has only heard the names of three or four of the players, but the team's skills and tactics are very distinctive, the style of play is fast and concise, the defense is tough, and there is even a little bit of the style of a Premier League team.
Of course, in David's opinion, CSKA Moscow is at best at the level of a club in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League, and it is difficult to threaten Notts County in the game.
Not only does David have this idea, but Loew and the players don't pay much attention to this opponent, and they have already won the UEFA Super Cup once, so it is not so new, so the whole team seems very relaxed.
Before the game, public opinion was also one-sided optimistic about Notts County, and Moscow's odds of winning were as high as 1 to 12.
In the game, CSKA Moscow did not cause too much trouble to Notts County, although in the second half seized the opportunity of Notts County's big pressure to counterattack and score a goal, but at that time Notts County was already a three-goal lead!
Notts County, who played in half of their main squad, won the second UEFA Super Cup in the club's history at Monaco, which may be a bit of a misnomer in the club's history, but it seems more appropriate to describe it as a second consecutive UEFA Super Cup trophy.
After the game, although the media covered the UEFA Super Cup at great length, they were no longer going to sing praises for Notts County, after all, the suspense was lost before the game even started, and Notts County's victory over a club in Europe's second-rate league was really not worth talking about.
Notts County, who returned with the trophy, did not hold a celebration ceremony and sent the championship trophy directly into the club's honour room, and that was the end.
David silently said in his heart, this is the second one!
Most of the players did not return to the club because it was the international break, the World Cup qualifiers had reached the final stage of qualifying, the internationals had returned to their home teams, and the non-international players were given the opportunity to take a break and rest.
In fact, there are very few non-international players in the current Notts County first-team team, and only Mesut Ozil has not been included in the national team squad once, and even Messi has been selected for the national team because of his outstanding performance.
No way, who let Germany still have a tradition of seniority!
Loew and David are a bit worried, and every international break they are worried about the players getting injured during training and playing with the national team, and last season's lesson was so profound that Notts County almost lost the title because of it, and it is better never to see that again.
Even if the players come back completely, it is difficult to guarantee their condition, and the long journey and the intense competition will consume a lot of physical energy of the players, and it may be difficult to be ready to play immediately when they return to the club.
Perhaps this time Notts County will have to select players in good physical condition to play in the next games!
Wealthy families also have the suffering of wealthy families, and the FIFA virus is simply unavoidable!
But David can take a leisure, he is idle without a game, just go to Italy to find Kerr, in the early days of the business, Kerr is so busy that he is about to spend days and nights, sometimes David is reflecting on whether his boyfriend is right to support his girlfriend's career in this way!
