Chapter 500: Lying down to the top
Notts County is making efforts, AC Milan is also making efforts, and the influence of the Serie A giants is still extremely huge!
As the Italian prime minister, Berlusconi, although it is impossible for him to come forward openly for this matter, he can also influence many people invisibly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In last year's European Ballon d'Or, AC Milan supported its league Juventus, and Nedved also got his wish, and this time it was Juve's turn to help Milan.
Milan has allies, Notts County has them, and even in Serie A, there are Inter Milan and Roma who are fighting against the Holy Alliance.
And several giants have maintained good relations with Notts County because of player transfers, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as Bayern, may not be able to support Notts County openly, but it is still okay to praise Villa's performance in public.
The battle for the European Ballon d'Or has kicked off early, and even the European league has been a little overshadowed, and the competition between Shevchenko and Villa has entered a white-hot level.
However, judging from the current situation, Villa will be in the leading position.
No way, who made David and Berlusconi not the same kind of people!
Silvio Berlusconi is rich and powerful, but he is an out-and-out politician, maybe he likes football and likes AC Milan, but he is destined to be just a plaything for him, he can't give everything for AC Milan, let alone invest for a player in AC Milan to compete for the European Ballon d'Or.
But David is different, Notts County is everything to him, and he doesn't care how much he pays for Notts County.
Since Shevchenko had the guarantee of voting in this part of Eastern Europe, David went to their hometown and attacked their castle from within.
The previously established Notts County Foundation acted with a clear purpose, and divided into several ways to cooperate with national football associations in Eastern Europe to carry out youth football training, which can not only promote the influence of Notts County, but also add bargaining chips to Villa's victory, killing two birds with one stone.
The work that needs to be done has been done, if Shevchenko can still win the European Ballon d'Or, if Villa hates it, then David can't say anything!
Although they are concentrating on building momentum for Villa, the game in Notts County still has to be played, and it is impossible to put the cart before the horse.
After four league games, this season's UEFA Champions League also kicked off, and it was also the first time that Notts County had reached the highest stage in Europe.
Of course, the first match is no stranger to Notts County, after all, the two sides have played each other two weeks ago, but this time it is Notts County's home stadium!
Notts County won the UEFA Super Cup 5-2 with a 5-2 win over Monaco to win the second UEFA Super Cup trophy in the club's history, and now the two teams are back to play in the Champions League group stage, and no one will think that Monaco can win Notts County this time, not even the French media.
And the result of this game is indeed as everyone expected, Monaco, who still insist on attacking play, did not cause too much trouble for Notts County, although Deschamps' team twice broke through the Notts County goal, but the home team Notts County scored four goals and won the first Champions League game in the club's history 4:2.
Although Notts County scored one less goal than in the UEFA Super Cup, it is important to get all three points and achieve the goal of Notts County.
For Monaco, losing to Notts County, the strongest player in the group, although it has a certain impact on the qualifying situation, as long as it can not fall behind in the battle with Deportivo La Coruna, it can still qualify smoothly, so there is no sense of the end of the world.
Three days later, Notts County travelled to Blackburn Rovers and although half of their starting line-up were rotated, Notts County were still taking all three points on the road and were at the top of the table for the first time this season because the game started earlier than the rest of the round.
Of course, the position is not secure and could well slip down after the two games between Chelsea and Manchester United.
But when all the games in this round were over, everyone found out that Notts County was still sitting at the top of the standings!
It turned out that Chelsea and Manchester United were both held to a draw by stubborn opponents in this game, Manchester United and Liverpool won their opponents respectively, and the four teams became equal on points again!
And Notts County actually sat at the top of the standings by one point, which is really tricky!
Such an unexpected surprise made the whole team of Notts County smile, there is no way, this is the rhythm of lying down and reaching the top!
Fans are also very excited, in the media rendering before the season, Notts County seems to have gone into hell, but now that five rounds of league games have passed, Notts County not only did not fall, but occupied the top position of the standings alone, this is what you call fall?
However, what makes Notts County fans even more excited is that Notts County will face their rivals Nottingham Forest in the next round of the league.
Inspired by the rise of Notts County, Nottingham Forest have also recruited and invested heavily in the last two seasons, and finally managed to make it to the Premier League, many years ago since they were last in the Premier League.
While such a result is a welcome result for Nottingham Forest, where is the Premier League so easy to gain a foothold?
Even if the old chairman Doggetti invests more again this summer, the squad configuration can only accompany the last seat, not to mention compared with the city's sworn rival Notts County, even the lower teams in the Premier League may be more powerful than Nottingham Forest.
Watching the city's rivals rise all the way to win the title, Nottingham Forest's mood is really complicated, and looking at the current comprehensive gap between the two clubs, a new stadium in Notts County alone doesn't know how far to throw them away.
At present, after five rounds of Premier League matches, Notts County is at the top of the table, while Nottingham Forest has only won one win and one draw, and lost the remaining three games to their opponents, and is currently fifth from the bottom of the table.
To be able to meet your local rivals again in the league and have the opportunity to beat them up is no less happy and joyful than winning a title, and this derby culture is definitely a big feature of football.
David didn't take Nottingham Forest too seriously, the two teams were no longer in the same level, staring at an opponent who didn't pose any threat to him all day long, and he couldn't even call the opponent, what kind of pursuit was that! (To be continued.) )
