Chapter 32 A Rare Sense of Superiority

In this game, David couldn't sit on the coach's bench to watch the game, and it was an away game. David didn't plan to go to the stadium to watch the game.

But before the game, David suddenly received an official invitation from the Manstfield Club. Gino Pozzo invited him to the box at Fitmere Stadium to watch the game together.

David didn't want to see Gino Pozzo's ugly face. He knew all about Pozzo's thoughts. He wanted to beat Notts County in the game and then watch his own jokes.

But David thought about it and agreed to the opponent's invitation, because he felt that Mansfield must be the loser in the end, not Notts County. It's not bad to see Gino Pozzo's angry look.

Notts County's fixtures have been very dense lately, and a string of opponents has been tough to deal with.

The first is the game against Mansterfield, the opponent is the second place in the league standings.

Back at home in the next game, Notts County will usher in the league leaders, newly-promoted Brighton.

After the match with Brighton, the second round of the League Cup will start again. This time Notts County is not lucky. The opponent is the Premier League team Middlesbrough. This will be the first match for Notts County so far this season. The strongest opponent to come, the behemoth of the Premier League level.

If Notts County wants to go further in the League Cup, then Middlesbrough will be a must pass, but in anyone's opinion, Notts County is comparable to Middlesbrough. Buckled belly, this is a walking game.

The general opinion from the outside world is that these three games will be the most difficult period for Notts County this season. If they survive, the future will be bright, but once they are beaten by the opponent, the final result of this season will not be much better. .

But no matter how you look at it, Notts County, which is in bad condition, has no strength to survive the storm.

Sitting in the box at Fitmere Stadium, David didn't even bother to do it with Gino Pozzo. Since he has already torn his face, there is no need to pretend to be. It is estimated that Pozzo has the same idea. in silence.

Looking at the old Fitmere Stadium, David sneered. He originally thought that Meadow Lane in Notts County was already junk, but with the comparison, he instantly felt that Meadow Lane could be used for a few years.

Originally, Fitmere Stadium had about 1w seats, but it was cut by nearly half due to fire certificates, poor supervision, and the sale of excess guest tickets. Only a maximum of 5k fans were allowed to enter the stadium to watch the game.

Even so, these seats are still unsatisfactory every game, just like this game, if not counting the Notts County fans who entered the stadium, it is estimated that there are at most 4,000 fans.

This is a normal statistic. The average attendance in the League Two is close to 7,000, but Mansfield was originally an uncompromising underdog in the League Two. Every season is a result of relegation, and there are even When it comes to relegation, it's no wonder how many fans can get.

Another reason is that the local fan market is limited. The population of Nottinghamshire is around 28w. Compared with big cities such as London and Liverpool, it can only be regarded as a small town.

Even if England has a large fan base, the Nottinghamshire fan market with three professional teams is already saturated.

Among them, Nottingham Forest has the largest number of fans. After all, Nottingham Forest has an extremely dazzling historical record. The two Champions League trophies can crush the vast majority of clubs in Europe. .

Notts County has a lot of fans. This Magpie is the oldest professional club in England, and the history is there.

Surviving between the two clubs, Mansfield is really difficult.

A sense of superiority arises spontaneously. Although David knows that it is really boring to compare with Manstfield, it is also a pleasure to be able to hit the mortal enemy from this angle.

Of course, Notts County wants to be the representative team of Nottingham County,

Still a long way to go.

After the start of the game, Mansfield, who was playing at home, wanted to use the strong attack at the beginning to suppress Notts County and directly mentioned the game to a fast rhythm.

Notts County was not greatly affected, because the opponents also adopted the same strategy in the previous games. They just saw the obvious weakness that Notts County entered the state slowly because of the unformed tactics.

Loew naturally won't make the same mistake on this issue. Although he has confidence in the team, Notts County is still a new army, so in the opening stage, he asked the team to stabilize the defense first.

Ten minutes have passed. Although Mansfield has the advantage of possession, the passing control in Notts County's half-court has always been inconsistent. The style of Italian football is defensive and counterattack. Creating opportunities in a fast-paced positional attack is difficult for some strongmen.

After ten minutes passed, Notts County, which had gradually found its way, began to counterattack.

Lahm cut off the opponent's breakthrough on the wing and handed it over to Alonso to organize the attack. Although Lahm also has a good long pass, it is still a little worse than the professional Alonso who does this. .

After receiving the ball, Alonso found that the frontcourt did not have the opportunity to directly attack, so he gave up the idea of ​​long-passing and raiding, organized the attack in the middle and backcourt in an orderly manner, and deliberately slowed down the rhythm of the attack.

Maybe this rhythm is also the rhythm that the Italian opponents like, but Alonso knows the strength of the team, and he does not think that Notts County will lose to the opponent in the positional attack.

Suddenly hitting the ball to the left, Iniesta suddenly faced the siege of two opponents after receiving the pass. It seems that the opponent has also worked hard to study Notts County. Ibaraki County is the most threatening player.

In the face of pressing Iniesta, he did not panic. His superb ball-handling skills in a small range ensured that the ball would not be broken, and he found an opportunity to pass the ball to Misimovic in the middle.

Missy rubbed the outside of the instep without stopping the ball, the ball spun up and flew over the two central defenders of Mansfield and flew into the penalty area.

Hubner had already started keenly when Iniesta scored the ball. The moment Missy touched the ball, Huber was in the same position as the opponent's two central defenders, and the next second, he had the upper hand. Throwing off the two central defenders, unloading the ball, forming a single-handed situation.

How could this old football player who has played from the low-level league all the way to Serie A miss such a good opportunity. Seeing the opponent's goalkeeper attacking, he took the lead to break the home team's door with a light lob shot.
