Chapter 146: Megalomaniac Chairman?
David doesn't bother to care about what kind of trouble Toshak, a Liverpool celebrity, has, and doesn't want to have anything to do with a guy who always thinks he is holding on to a very normal thing.
After playing this warm-up match with Real Sociedad, Notts County took a two-day vacation in Spain, one is to let several players from Spain in the team reunite with their families, and after a season, there is really no chance to go home in England without a winter break, and secondly, it is also to give the players who have gone through a large amount of exercise training a two-day vacation to relax and experience the exotic style.
So, without knowing who proposed, all the non-Spanish players of the Notts County first team went to the beach in Barcelona to enjoy the beach and sunshine, and flirt with girls!
For the players' dissolute behavior, David deeply despised it in his heart, and at the same time added a sentence - please take me!
Of course, even if David has that mind, he doesn't have that guts, and he is traditionally conservative and prefers to look like a guy rather than sing songs every night.
After their trip to Spain, Notts County travelled to Portugal where they will play a warm-up match against Porto.
Half a season after Magic Bird took charge of Porto, the Portuguese supergiants finished third in the final league standings and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
But David knew very well that this was just the beginning, the beginning of the dragon's flight.
If we follow the history of the previous life, then Porto will win the Portuguese Super League this season and the UEFA Cup, and next season, Porto will shock the entire European football world because they won the Champions League.
Although all the giants have lost in the Champions League that season, which has reduced the gold content of the championship trophy, the Champions League is the Champions League, even if you compete for fish belly all the way, this is also the Champions League.
It is with this Champions League trophy that the Magic Bird has become the leading young coach in European football and has started a journey of creating miracles.
Although Loew wondered why David had to warm up with a Portuguese giant, he thought that the other side had also reached the Europa League, so he thought that David was just trying to gauge his strength.
'Porto are very strong and if we want to win the UEFA Cup, we have to get past them. David and Loew explained why he insisted on warming up with Porto.
However, Loew disagrees, even if you don't count the qualifying round, there are as many as 96 clubs participating in the League Cup, plus eight clubs that finished third in the Champions League and entered the League Cup, it is not so easy to win the championship trophy from these clubs.
Maybe he felt Loew's disdain, and David didn't say much, maybe after the game, Loew would change his mind.
"Oh, yes!"
Loew suddenly remembered something and asked: "Didn't you buy a Porto midfielder and go back on loan?" How is the player doing now? ”
"Deco is now the core of Porto's midfield, maybe not famous now, but his strength is not weaker than Xavi Alonso, or even stronger overall, in the organization of the midfield, absolutely the top five in the world!" David affirmed categorically.
Loew naturally won't believe it, although he knows that David's vision is terrifying, but the world's top five is a bit nonsense, shouldn't such a player be regarded as the core of the giants? 》
How is it possible to stay in Porto?
"I'll admit that you have one of the best visions among club presidents in the world, but your self-righteousness is also one of the best."
Loew said angrily: "The world's top five organizational midfielders? Even Alonso is far behind, how can Porto come out casually with such strength? ”
"You don't believe it? You'll know when the game starts! David shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly, believing that Deco would prove that he deserved the title with his performance on the court.
Not to mention the top five, Deco at his peak can even have the strength to stabilize the world's No. 1 midfielder.
In the Barcelona Dream II period, Xavi, who has not yet reached the realm, can only give him a hand, in the back position, he alone accounts for Barcelona's general steal data, such a midfield core with both offense and defense, whoever gets him, will wake up with a smile in his dream.
David woke up laughing more than once!
The day before the warm-up game, David specially invited Deco to dinner, and his love for the talented midfielder was absolutely overflowing.
"How? Are you sure you will make any breakthroughs this season? David asked lightly as he put the steak in his mouth.
Although Deco was a little restrained at first, he gradually let go, because David, the president of the club, really didn't have any swagger at all.
'Sir, since Mr. Mourinho arrived, the team has been transformed very successfully, although last season we were only third in the table, but this season we are absolutely confident that we can win the Portuguese Super League and not only that, but we also want to make a difference in the UEFA Cup. When it comes to results, Deco appears to be full of confidence.
David smiled, and very much agreed with Deco's statement in his heart, the magic bird led the team, this kind of achievement is really not an exaggeration.
"Then I wish you all the best!"
David said with a smile, but then changed the conversation: "This season, our Notts County also broke into the League Cup, but I don't know if there is a chance to play, that scene is interesting!" ”
Deco wasn't particularly surprised to hear the news, as he already knew about Notts County's performance, although he was skeptical that Notts County would go far in the League Cup.
"If Porto do meet Notts County in the UEFA Cup, I won't be merciful, even though my ownership is in Notts County, I'm a professional footballer and I'm responsible for the club I play for!" Deco's righteous words on his face.
David burst out laughing, laughing inexplicably at Deco.
"Didn't you mean to let me release the water?"
"No, no, no, although your ownership is in Notts County, I don't think you know much about our Notts County, I have no intention of interfering with your performance, maybe after this warm-up game, you will understand that Notts County does not need to use these small means!" After laughing, David's face turned serious.
Don't need to use petty means?
Do you think Notts County can win the League Cup with normal quality?
At this moment, Deco felt that the chairman of Notts County in front of him was a madman, an out-and-out megalomaniac!
