Bates's actions are nothing more than to create a little psychological problem for Notts County's core players, so that when facing Chelsea, they will not be able to play as well as they should, and in his opinion, this is a very clever psychological tactic.

When Bates was smug, no one stood up and told him that his psychological tactics were actually very clumsy, and this was what others played more than ten years ago, not to mention facing Notts County, even if it was replaced by someone else, it would be useless.

If the person who said this is the president of Real Madrid, maybe the mentality of the two Spanish players will fluctuate, but Chelsea is a green onion, maybe Chelsea will become a giant in English football in the future, but now, sorry, you are not qualified.

When the first half of the game ended, Bates looked at the score of 0:2, and his almost aging head couldn't figure out why his team was still two goals behind at home, even though he had tried to reduce Notts County's combat effectiveness.

Neither team is conservative, and even Notts County, who are playing away, have put more energy into attacking, at least in Loew's opinion, Chelsea are not strong enough to completely ignore Notts County.

And the situation on the field of play also just proves this, of course, the 0:2 score also has a certain element of luck, Meireles' shot hit the leg of the Chelsea defender, the ball flight path has a huge turn, into an own goal, and in turn Chelsea also has a post, if you don't consider luck, then the current score on the field should be 1:1, which is a score that is more in line with the strength of both sides.

Ranieri sighed, the second half began to make personnel adjustments, the score was already behind, and playing the offensive and defensive balance was no longer useful, because Notts County will definitely adjust their tactics and wait for work.

Sure enough, Notts County, who were two goals ahead, changed the situation on the pitch, handed over the initiative to Chelsea, and fought back with peace of mind, which was already very skillful for Loew.

Neither side could score in the second half, but even so, Notts County eliminated Chelsea with two first-half goals to progress to the next round of the FA Cup.

Bates was really angry after the game, having been knocked out of the FA Cup by a low-level team he looked down on so much, and with a terrible league result, he was eager to take all his anger out on Ranieri, who in his opinion was the old Italian man to blame.

However, given the huge liquidated damages, he can only compromise and let Ranieri continue to be in charge, of course, if the club's financial situation improves, then the first thing he will do is to fire Ranieri.

But the outstanding performance of the Notts County players in this game did impress Bates, and in his opinion, many of the players in the Notts County team are no worse than Chelsea, or even surpass, which is too unreasonable!

He was curious to know why a club in the third tier had such a strong squad, and that there were some things that could not be done with money alone, and Chelsea had spent money on it, but in the end, it turned out that most of it was unjust.

Thinking of this, Bates really asked the staff to fax an offer to Notts County, and the object of the purchase was all the Spaniards in the Notts County team.

Alonso – £1,500w;

Villa – £600w;

Andres Iniesta – £900w;

Diego Lopes – £150w.

When David saw this fax, his first reaction was that Bates had a cramp in his head, otherwise how could he do such an amateurish thing!

Of course, to be honest, Bates' offer is not low, and it basically matches the value of several players, but the question is, if you pay for it, Notts County must sell you?

He wanted to break open Bates's head to see if there was any excrement in this old man's head, and then you Chelsea could still take out so much money?

According to David's understanding, Chelsea, which owes 700 million pounds, has been blacklisted by major banks in England.

With a sneer, David casually threw the fax into the trash can at his feet, and as before, he didn't even bother to reply to this kind of nonsensical inquiry.

But David quickly picked up the paper from the trash can, not because he had a habit of rummaging through the trash can, but because he suddenly thought of an idea, an idea to humiliate Bates, a big-mouthed old man.

After pondering the wording, David replied to Chelsea's offer, and the content was also very simple, not agreeing or disagreeing, just saying that he would respect the player's opinion.

What does that mean?

Bates was a little confused about Notts County's rhetoric, was this a refusal or an agreement?

However, he has always regarded himself very highly, and he directly regarded Notts County's reply as a helpless move after being unable to resist the behemoth of Chelsea, and directly sent the club's commercial manager to contact several players in Notts County.

As for Ranieri, who should have the right to transfer operations, he was directly excluded from the game by Bates.

However, three days later, while Bates was waiting for the good news of the commercial manager's victory, he found that his subordinate Ai was back in disgrace.

"How? Were these players so excited that they almost cried when they heard the news that Chelsea wanted to buy them? Bates didn't care about the embarrassed expression on the commercial manager's face, and asked with a self-righteous smile.

I'm so excited that I'm going to cry? I'm going to cry, okay! The business manager really wants to cry without tears.

"Sir, I have some unfortunate news for you, several players from Notts County have categorically rejected our invitation, only Diego Lopes said he could consider it, but he asked for a main position!" The business manager reported to Bates in frustration, fearing that Bates would take his anger out on himself.

However, when he was worried about something, Bates suddenly got out of his office chair and threw the lighter in his hand on him.

"What? How can it be? How could a few unscrupulous players turn down an offer from our Chelsea? Are you playing tricks on this? Bates immediately grasped what he thought was the point, and said angrily.

The business manager lowered his head and said glutinously: "How can I make a fool of it, it's really that these players are too ignorant of promotion, I haven't even seen the players themselves, and when I just discussed the treatment of players with my agent, I was immediately rejected." ”
