Chapter 1063: Kaka and Sneijder
? After the draw with the Red Army, in the next one and a half months of the game, not only the schedule is loose, but there is no strong opponent. It is time for Notts County to really grab points.
And the fans once again witnessed Notts County's strong winning streak.
On October 22, Notts County strangled the Turkish giants Fenerbahce in an away game and won three consecutive Champions League group matches;
On October 26, the Magpies, who played most of the rotation players, beheaded Villa at home;
On November 6th, the Magpies, who were waiting for work, ushered in the challenge of Fenerbahçe, and won the game cleanly, double-killing their opponents at home and away, and achieved four consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.
Next, Notts County defeated Fulham and Portsmouth in two rounds of away games, and won three consecutive league victories after a draw.
After four consecutive victories in the group stage, Notts County has secured the qualification to appear in the group in advance, but there is no way to secure the first place in the group for the time being, but no one will doubt that Notts County will let the group first slip away from their hands .
Everyone thought that Notts County would stop and take a breather, but Notts County was on the road to a winning streak.
Stoke City, Newcastle, Everton, and West Bromwich Albion became the defeats of Notts County, and Notts County accidentally won another wave of seven consecutive victories.
It has been 15 rounds since the start of the Premier League. Apart from being tied by Liverpool in the eighth round, Notts County has won seven consecutive victories. These two consecutive victories have also allowed Notts County to remain stable Take the top spot in the standings and open the gap with other competitors.
The gap between the second-ranked Chelsea and Notts County has reached 8 points. The rhythm is the same as last season. Notts County has been riding away from the beginning. Others who have dreams of the championship can only sigh.
Everyone knows that the Premier League title will also belong to Notts County, and no one can take it away.
During the interval between these four league games, Notts County also played a Champions League group match and two League Cup games.
In the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Notts County defeated Dynamo Kyiv at home. With five consecutive victories, they completely secured the first place in the group.
The last contest against Porto has become a formality, but Notts County may still not let Porto go. Now in the group standings, Porto leads Dynamo Kyiv by three points, and the two rounds of contest between the two are concluded With a tie, if Notts County can be merciful, then Porto can securely qualify for the group stage.
But will Notts County make Porto happy?
If Notts County beats Porto, then Dynamo Kyiv may squeeze out Porto to qualify for the group with a goal difference advantage.
So, if you don't die, you won't die. Porto may have interpreted the meaning of this sentence very well.
In the League Cup, which is a tasteless competition, Notts County did not take it as seriously as they did in the past few seasons. After all, the schedule is easy, and they can devote part of their energy to it.
Notts County's opponent in the fourth round was Southampton. Perhaps the opponent did not see the League Cup, or Southampton preferred to relegation in the Premier League. In the game, most of the reserve players were sent. Notts County It's not easy to win.
In the fifth round, Notts County was really lucky. The draw met Burnley, a British Championship opponent, and easily won another victory, advancing to the semi-finals of the League Cup.
The three lines go hand in hand, and the energy shown by Notts County is simply frightening. Although Notts County was also strong at this time last season, at that time, the wave of injuries in Notts County had already begun to emerge, but now it is not the case. The players are all healthy and very lively.
I don’t know if it’s because the FA is overwhelmed with love. This season’s schedule has become a bit humane. Notts County still has three games before Christmas. After playing the league with Blackburn on the 13th, they can rest until After Christmas on the 26th, the rest time was nearly two weeks.
This was almost unnecessary in the past, but now it has become a reality. Is this the winter break of the Premier League version?
Before the tough battle with Arsenal, the eyes of the whole world were attracted by the selection of the European Golden Globe Awards. Compared with the competition, the two major awards are obviously more concerned.
The teams behind Kaka and Sneijder have already begun to work hard. Clubs and sponsors have stepped up to use resources to help the players. At present, it seems that the two sides have no obvious advantages and disadvantages, and the rest can only depend on God's will.
David doesn't have much hope for Kaka's defending double football player. Although Kaka has greater influence and Notts County has greater influence, Sneijder's Champions League title is an honor that cannot be erased. It is also the most important advantage in the selection.
Perhaps this time there will be a situation where the European Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year are not the same candidates.
Sneijder won the European Ballon d'Or, and Kaka won the World Player of Football. It seems that this is the result that everyone is happy with.
"Sneijder is a very good player. I learned a lot from him when he first came to Notts County. If he won the European Ballon d'Or, then I would not be surprised at all. It is him. You deserve it!" When this question was mentioned in an interview, Kaka answered the reporter very humbly.
In fact, he didn't speak. When he first joined Notts County, Kaka could only play as a substitute for Sneijder. Kaka watched how Sneijder played on the bench, and then gradually integrated into it. Notts County.
Similarly, when Sneijder was interviewed, he did not hesitate to praise him, and the two were like close teammates.
Well, the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh. David admitted that he is very happy no matter whether Kaka or Sneijder wins the award.
But to David's surprise, a week before the awards ceremony, the editor-in-chief of "French Football" came to Notts County with a cameraman and secretly took photos. Don't ask David how he knew, England's paparazzi are everywhere.
There is no need to explain. Everyone knows that Kaka won this year's European Ballon d'Or, and Sneijder is probably about to suffer.
It is nonsense to say that Sneijder is not bitter at this time. After all, Sneijder's performance reached its peak last season, and Inter Milan also reached its peak. It is difficult to surpass in a real sense. If so If you can't win the European Ballon d'Or, then I'm afraid it will be difficult to have another chance in this life.
Even if the media didn't report it, Sneijder should know that he missed the summit at this time. After all, "French Football" didn't come to him to take a photo, which is already very telling.
