Chapter 1004 Overlord Leon
??After being eliminated from the FA Cup, Notts County has only two competitions in the Premier League and the Champions League this season. The next schedule is undoubtedly much better than other giants. However, Notts County can continue to maintain a strong state. To draw a big question mark. www.
There are seven players in the Notts County team who have been exempted from the game. The rotation lineup is stretched and there is no way to face many challengers with a complete posture.
In the past few seasons, Notts County has also encountered an injury crisis, but most of them are in individual positions. There have been almost no injuries as a whole like this season. I am afraid that in the eyes of many people, Notts County has not dealt with this situation. experience of an injury crisis.
The winter transfer window has been closed, and Notts County has no way to find a solution from the transfer market, and can only rely on the output of the youth academy.
Although the young players in the youth training camp this season have got a lot of first-team opportunities, the League Cup, the FA Cup and even the Premier League and the Champions League, and their performance is enough experience, but they are really not ready to be ordered in the face of danger. Take up a big responsibility.
In this way, relying on the incomplete lineup, Notts County may not be able to continue to be strong. The best way is to give up one of the events, which seems safer.
In the last league game before the start of the Champions League knockout round, Notts County played most of the main players. They faced Sunderland away and suppressed their opponents. Facing an unimaginable predicament, but it is not something that Sunderland can dominate.
26 rounds of the league have been played, and Notts County, which still maintains a complete victory, has a full 16 points ahead of the second-placed Chelsea and 18 points ahead of the third-placed Tottenham. As for Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, the advantages are all within 20 points. .
In the eyes of many people, this score is enough to ensure that Notts County regains the Premier League championship. With 12 rounds left in the league, unless Notts County collapses itself, no one can win the league championship.
Of course, Notts County is not without the possibility of collapse. If a few more generals are added to Notts County's injury list, then even the gods and Buddhas will not be able to save Notts County.
Chelsea coach Klinsmann is playing psychological warfare in a way that he is not very good at. Maybe he wants to emulate the miracle that Ferguson led Manchester United to reverse Newcastle. Maybe Chelsea is more resilient than Manchester United now, but the magpie in Notts County But unlike the magpie in Newcastle, Notts County never accepts being reversed!
Although Klinsmann is still not giving up, Ferguson, Wenger and others are more pragmatic. Since the rise of Notts County, after a few seasons, they have already known the horror of Notts County, so he still has to make his goals more reasonable. The most important thing is to compete for the Champions League places. In the case of insufficient strength, it is reasonable to set goals that match the strength.

The knockout round of the Champions League round of 16 officially kicked off. Notts County challenged Lyon, the real Ligue 1 overlord.
In the history of football, it is very rare that a team can maintain such a degree of dominance over a league in a period of time. Even Bayern, the dominant player in the Bundesliga, can hardly do this. The feat of winning the league championship this season, but Lyon did it.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Ligue 1 is undercompetitive and ranks last in the five major leagues, but it is undeniable that it still belongs to the five major leagues and is still more attractive than the Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League behind them.
Lyon's ability to maintain such a degree of domination over Ligue 1 shows its strength, and it is definitely not as big as everyone imagined.
Perhaps only inferior to a few top giants, other strong teams will definitely have a headache when they encounter Lyon in the Champions League. Look at the unlucky Real Madrid, but they have overturned Lyon several times.
As a star output factory,
It is also the legendary black shop. After several seasons, Lyon has gained a lot of money just by selling stars, and the team still maintains a strong competitiveness. No one dares to underestimate it.
David doesn't think that Notts County can let go of Nanshan in the face of Lyon. Even if Notts County goes all out, I am afraid that Lyon still has the ability to cause some small troubles for Notts County.
If you simply compete for players' worth, then Lyon can be ranked in the top ten in Europe. Except for the giant teams in each league, Lyon's lineup is the strongest.
At the center back position is Squillacci, who once followed Monaco to win the Champions League. The left back is the Italian star Grosso who once played for Notts County. Yes, this line of defense has the strength to stand alone.
In the midfield, Juninho, the most low-key organizer, is led by the defensive giant Tulalang. The midfield controlled by the two can suppress the opponent without temper when facing most opponents.
The winger is Ge Wu, the hero of the team, and Karlstrom, who later played for Arsenal. This combination is full of lethality.
The two forwards are the well-known top center Benzema and later the main striker Fred of the five-star Brazil. With these two sharp knives, Lyon's ability to attack the city is beyond doubt.
Moreover, there is also Ben Arfa on the bench who is more famous than Benzema than he is now. To make it, in the French 87 Four Juniors, although Benzema has the greatest achievement, so far, Ben Arfa is more eye-catching.
With such a strong lineup that already has enough tacit understanding, even if they get to the Premier League, they are fully capable of competing with the Premier League big6, and there is still a chance to compete for at least one Champions League spot.
Naturally, Heynckes would not underestimate such a Ligue 1 giant, so Notts County still made serious preparations before the game and would not be careless.
Still after the game against Sunderland, the whole team rushed to France. In order to make up the 18-man roster, even De Bruyne, who was in the youth training camp, was lucky to follow the whole team to France.
Because Notts County players have always maintained a very good relationship, even after leaving, Grosso invited several former teammates to dinner after Notts County came to France, which seems to have become a tradition.
However, Grosso left Notts County too early. He returned to Italy before Notts County was promoted to the Premier League.
But now in the Notts County team, there are not many players who have been teammates with Grosso. In real terms, there are only Alonso and Villa, and the rest of the old courtiers have found their homes.
Counting it, it seems that Notts County's first batch of players have really reached the top level. Hubner retired, Altintop is barely a first-class star, and Misimovic has not reached the height expected by everyone. .....
Perhaps after the first batch of players, Notts County began to become the cradle of stars.
