David didn't speak immediately, he also thought about this question in his heart, and waited for a while before he slowly spoke: "The league is definitely the most important, and our goal is to be promoted directly." The British Championship can also be completely abandoned, this kind of competition is simply meaningless. But the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, I'm a little bit undecided, I personally want the team to go as far as possible in one of the cups, or even win the title, but I know it's going to be difficult. ”

"The depth of our squad will certainly not allow for a third-tier battle, so we can only choose to give up one of the League Cup or the FA Cup, and we don't seem to be able to go far in both competitions for the time being, but once the team is eliminated in the main cup competition, it will really be empty-handed and can only go to the league."

The two men in the office fell silent at the same time, and the situation of the team was well known to both of them, which was a really difficult question to choose.

In the end, David gritted his teeth and said in a tone like a gamble: "It's done, it's a big deal to have nothing in the end." ”

Loew nodded solemnly, in fact, he also wanted to give it a go, and now that he had David's support, he felt that he could let it go.

"Let's create a miracle together, a miracle that belongs to Notts County!"

They all know what this miracle is!

######

The third round of the league is coming soon, and Notts County, who have been baptized in the League Cup, seem to have been reborn with a change in temperament, and the two days of training have simply made Loew happy.

The opponent in the third round is Reading, an opponent with a simple and crude style but definitely not to be underestimated, David has the impression in his previous life, it seems that one season even reached the Premier League.

But what makes David remember more is that Reading, nicknamed the Cookie Man, is definitely not as crunchy as their nickname, and if he can't be rougher than them on the field, then he can only endure it obediently.

You know, Reading did a glorious deed of abolishing two goalkeepers in a game, and it just so happened that the opponent was called Chelsea.

Cech has gone from being a beautiful boy to an uncle who can only wear a helmet, and you can imagine how powerful Reading is.

Although this Reading is not the Reading of his previous life, David is still worried, but he can't show it yet, so he can only babble in Loew's ear like a bad woman, asking him to be careful of the opponent's toughness, and talking to the players one by one, and letting them protect themselves on the field.

Whether it was Loew or the players, they thought David was stunned, and they didn't care, or they should do what they wanted.

At David's apprehension, the third round of the league officially began.

The main squad did not experience the Carabao Cup in midweek, so this league is all played, and Loew has gradually had his own plan for the lineup.

Notts County are playing very vigorously at home, and Loew's team building seems to be slowly getting on the right track, after a few warm-up games and a few games at the beginning of the season, Notts County are no longer scattered on the field, both offensive and defensive, with a unique system.

The game was in Notts County's rhythm from the start, with Marcos Alonso, a tempo player rarely seen even in the Premier League, combing through the Notts County midfield, and with the protection of Mereles at his side, the team completely controlled the midfield and allowed the opposition to retreat to their own half of the pitch to defend.

However, Reading didn't care about Notts County's possession, and as long as they didn't threaten their penalty area, they continued to play their unpretty, brutal football.

Rushing over to grab the ball, whether or not they had a chance to touch the ball, first make physical contact, and in the referee's invisible view, the elbows and knees have become sharp weapons for their small movements, making the Notts County players miserable.

Most of the Notts County players are not native to England, and even if they have a good understanding of the country's rough style of football, they still underestimate Reading, which is one of the best in England.

Of course, that's not to say that the Notts County players don't play small tricks, and since you're unruly and have to make inches, don't blame me for playing yin.

So the style of painting on the field has changed, and it seems that both sides are not focusing on the ball, but more are competing with each other.

In this regard, Notts County still suffered a little, after all, they have a lot of small players in the squad, but with home advantage, it is really a draw.

The action of both sides is getting bigger and bigger, and even if the referee has shown four yellow cards in the opening less than 20 minutes, it has not been able to curb the interest of the players on both sides in hand-to-hand combat, and the game has gradually gotten out of control.

With 35 minutes of the first half, Marcos Alonso knocked on the door with a long-range strike to give home side Notts County the lead.

Now Reading is gone, obviously saying that it is good to compete for muscles, why did you put cold arrows ahead?

Feeling betrayed, Reading became more and more aggressive, and his movements began to be as big as playing rugby, not much worse than judo.

From time to time, Notts County players were brought down by their opponents, and the referees could not contain the Redding atrocities.

Seeing the players being brought down from time to time on the field, Loew angrily walked to the sideline of the fourth official and complained loudly, but the opponent's coach was not far behind and also came to the fourth official to exert pressure.

The pitch was gradually out of control, the referee was in a cold sweat, and he was in no mood to care about the situation with the fourth official.

In the 40th minute of the game, Di Natale received the ball with his back, but was viciously shoveled on his ankle by the opponent behind his back, and rolled to the ground with a scream, covering his ankle, and even arched into a shrimp.

However, the player who fouled Reading spread his hands as if he was fine, signaled his innocence, and then turned away with the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

His actions completely angered the Notts County players, and Mereles, who was closest to the scene of the incident, rushed over angrily and punched the Reading foul player in the face, knocking him directly to the ground.

Players from both sides rushed over to support their teammates, pushing and shoving rationally, and smashing their fists directly with a hot temper, and the players on the bench were not far behind, and rushed into the field to join the ranks of the group fight.

The crowd booed and scolded Reading, and some radical fans even jumped over the railings and rushed into the stadium, shouting for a lesson for Reading.

The referee became the most helpless person on the field, letting his whistle go off non-stop, but no one paid attention to it at all, and the most important thing for him to feel like crying was that he didn't know who took advantage of the chaos to kick him twice, and the clear shoe prints on his pants were like a face with a mocking smile, which made him feel embarrassed.

As soon as the conflict broke out, David rushed into the field, and the Reading player who tackled Di Natale was smashed by Mereles and just struggled to get up, and was knocked down by David with a punch, and his eyes were already pandas.

It doesn't seem like it's fun to flip one, David joins the melee team, but his target is not Reading players, but Reading's assistant coach, this identity is equal.

Of course, he wanted to compete with the chairman of Reading, but unfortunately the old fellow didn't come to Meadow Lane at all, and David didn't let him know why the flowers were so red.
