Chapter 983: Really Divided into a Group
Already in excellent form, coupled with being stimulated by private jets, the players of Notts County are almost in the sky!
In the fourth round of the league, they beat West Ham United by five goals, and the opponent's brutal style of play was discouraged by the Notts County cattle thugs before they could be put on the table, and finally suffered a heavy defeat at home. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the fifth round, Newcastle also challenged Newcastle away, and now Newcastle can only be regarded as hairless magpies, their beautiful feathers have long been swept away by Notts County, and this time there is no surprise in the result of the race battle between the two magpies, Notts County pecked Newcastle United all over the body.
After five league games, Notts County are still on a winning streak, scoring 19 goals in five games without conceding a single goal, and no club in the whole of Europe has had such a perfect start to the game.
The new powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur was deflated in the fourth round and was taught by Benitez's Liverpool, but in the fifth round they bounced back strongly and beat their opponents and are currently fourth in the table.
Chelsea and Liverpool are both unbeaten with four wins and one draw, ranking second and third respectively, but Manchester United and Arsenal have turned over the underdogs, also sitting in fifth or sixth place with three wins and two draws.
In fact, the real surprise is Liverpool, the original Red Army's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and now the introduction of the golden boy Torres is out of control, there is a great posture to block the gods, of course, now they have not been tested by the strong team, whether they can break the situation of Notts County and Chelsea two strong competition is still unknown.
The real sadness is Manchester United and Arsenal, the two giants who were competing for the title a few seasons ago have now been reduced to the extent of fighting for a Champions League ticket, and even for three consecutive seasons, only one of the two clubs can reach the Champions League, and the other can only look at it with tears outside the threshold, not to mention how miserable.
The decline in the combat effectiveness of Manchester United and Arsenal has been obvious, or it is not the decline in the strength of the two clubs, but the overall strength of the Premier League has risen too fast, after all, Arsenal and Manchester United have a relatively good record in the Champions League, and they are not inferior to other league giants, but back to the Premier League, it is really intentional to kill the enemy and have no power to return to heaven!

In the Champions League group stage draw on 1 September, Notts County were unlucky to be placed in a group with last season's UEFA Cup winners Sevilla, with Turkish giants Besiktas in Pot 4 and Bevilen the other side.
When all the results were revealed, there was no such thing as the strong dialogue and fateful duel that everyone had expected, but there were two groups of death.
Group C, Real Madrid, Werder Bremen, Lazio and Olympiacos are divided into a group, according to the current strength analysis, Real Madrid is slightly higher, Olympiacos plays soy sauce, Werder Bremen and Lazio two strong teams compete for a place, but Werder Bremen and Lazio are not without the strength to resist in front of Real Madrid, if Real Madrid is in a slight situation, it is not without the possibility of being pulled off.
Group G, Arsenal, Roma, Boavista and Dynamo Kyiv are in a group, and the situation is almost the same as Group C. Although Arsenal is slightly stronger, no matter in the face of Roma or Boavista, there is no certainty of victory, and there is also the danger of going out of the group.
However, the real pinnacle battle did not appear, and it was the group of Notts County that really caught everyone's attention.
Notts County has completed three consecutive Champions League titles, is recognized as the strongest team in Europe, and the current form of Notts County has broken through the sky, I am afraid that even if Notts County and the three top giants are placed in the same group, it can easily appear, whether it is Sevilla or Bevilen It is difficult to cause any trouble for Notts County.
Sevilla, as the champion of the UEFA Cup last season, is currently second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, and its strength is self-evident, after all, La Liga is still the first league under UEFA, and everyone is looking forward to Sevilla's wonderful performance in this season's Champions League to defend the glory of the League Cup.
And Bei Weilun has broken into the Champions League round of 16 for two consecutive seasons, and has established a dominant position in the Belgian League, their main battlefield is the Champions League, with almost the overall lineup of the European Red Devils Belgian national team plus super foreign aid, even in the face of giant teams, Bei Weilun is not afraid at all.
As for the Turkish powerhouse Besiktas, I'm afraid no one is optimistic that they can make a difference, maybe they will be the one to be eliminated early.
Notts County is detached, and the competition between Sevilla and Bevilen will definitely be fierce, but what really attracts attention is not this, but that Notts County and Bevilen are actually in the same group.
The relationship between Notts County and Bevilen, as long as you know a little about European football, knows that the current chairman of Notts County Pavis still holds 49% of Bevilen's shares, and the two clubs have a deep cooperation and are closely related.
Similarly, there is a Champions League team, Boavista, in which David also has a 49% stake.
Obviously, the three teams are related teams, and this point has been raised earlier, because if they participate in the Champions League at the same time, it is likely that there will be tacit goals due to interests, which will affect the image and honor of the Champions League.
However, UEFA's rule is that two teams under the same owner cannot participate in the same UEFA tournament at the same time, and this owner, naturally, means owning more than 50% of the club and having full say.
David owns 49% of the shares of Bevilun and Boavista, which is just stuck under the rule node, so people can't find fault with them, and Bevilun and Boavista have major shareholders as the chairman, David will not be responsible for the daily operation of the two clubs at all, at most there is communication and cooperation, and the relationship is closer.
They can't be banned from participating because of this, and if so, then La Liga's membership-based clubs are not exempt from participating in the Champions League!
For example, Real Madrid and Barcelona are both membership clubs, and if a person deliberately makes a mistake, that is, a member of Real Madrid and a member of Barcelona, in a sense, he should be regarded as a shareholder of both clubs, so will Real Madrid and Barcelona not be able to participate in the Champions League at the same time?
Although the specific situation of David's shareholding is not the same, it is similar and essentially the same.
Therefore, Notts County, Bevilen and Boavista have been playing in the Champions League for several seasons, even if public opinion sometimes picks on them, but it does not affect them to act as usual.
The three clubs had never met in a Champions League before, so the backlash was not strong.
However, this time, Notts County was placed in the same group as Bevilen, and in the eyes of some people, the two clubs could not blatantly play match-fixing!
Some people couldn't do it anymore and jumped out directly, shelling Notts County, bombarding David, and even directly targeting UEFA, among which Sevilla and Besiktas in the same group are the vanguard!
