Chapter 293 Magpie Stadium Opener

? After a heated discussion among fans, the name of the new Notts County stadium was officially named Magpie Stadium, in line with Notts County's nickname. `

The opening ceremony of the Magpies Stadium was arranged on the weekend night. Although Notts County had limited influence and could not make it into a classic event, it was still possible to entertain yourself behind closed doors.

Several singers were brought in, and an hour-long cabaret was arranged before the opener, which alone cost Notts County at least £1 million.

But judging from the reactions of the fans, the money was well worth it.

And when the performance was over, fireworks were set off for half an hour, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of the fans.

Finally, of course, the highlight of the evening, the opener of the Magpies Stadium, Notts County against Juventus.

In the box of the Magpies Stadium, David, Moggi, Be Weilun Chairman Peters, Boavista Chairman Pelorero and the senior management of various clubs gathered to watch the game.

"David, I really envy you. You have built your own stadium so quickly. Unfortunately, in Italy, private institutions are not allowed to buy the stadium." Moji said to David with some envy.

Indeed, as Moggi said, Italy restricts clubs from privatizing stadiums, so in this regard, a club is largely constrained.

Take Juventus as an example, the Alpine Stadium is not a special football stadium. The runway between the stadium and the stands affects the atmosphere of watching the game. In addition, the Alpine Stadium can accommodate more than 7w fans to watch the game at the same time, while Turin is the only one. The population of the city itself is only about 120w, so even for a giant team like Juventus, the stadium is often full, resulting in a less frenetic home atmosphere.

The more critical point is that due to the huge rent, the team has almost no net income in the football market, and can only rely on broadcasting as the bulk of its income to maintain the elite of the team. , it is even more impossible, that is to say, in the game day income, even if Serie A does not have it.

No way, the national conditions are like this, even if Mo Ji is envious, he will not be envious.

Peters and Pelorero didn't speak. Although they envied the stadium in Notts County, they also knew that, judging from the reality of the two clubs, even if they were given a stadium, they would not be satisfied, and after passing through the stadium, they would not be satisfied. With David's investment, the stadiums of the two clubs have already begun to expand and refurbish, so they are still content.

David just smiled and didn't speak. Although he knew how Juventus would get the new stadium in the future, he didn't want to tell Moggi, anyway, in two more seasons, when the Serie A phone door broke out completely,

Juventus was ordered to be relegated. At that time, it was the best choice to throw out the stadium plan. First, Juventus was in Serie B and built the stadium while dormant. Second, it was able to restore confidence and get out of the haze through the new stadium plan.

"I think the development of football in the future must be combined with business. I believe that Italy, as a veteran football power, should also keep pace with the times, or at least have corresponding solutions, otherwise the decline of Serie A is really inevitable. It's over!" David was silent for a while, but he changed his mouth.

The cunning and cunning Moji is naturally very smart in terms of economics. He also knows that football in the future is an industry linked to money, but the current Serie A rules really make him completely unable to let go.

Several people suddenly thought that this should be a happy moment, but should not bring up such a heavy topic, so the conversation changed and began to chat about the management of the team.

On the pitch, when players from both sides walked into the field, the fans in the stands burst into unparalleled cheers. This cheer was not only for Notts County's own players, but also for Juventus players. They are also cheering on the traditional friendship between the two clubs.

Although he doesn't like Moji, David still likes Juventus. In other words, as an unprofessional fan in his previous life, he liked most of the giants.

David would have drooled over Juventus' starting line-up last season when the two teams met, but not now, as Notts County's first-team players have grown from nobody to a big name. The stars, perhaps in terms of popularity, are not as good as the superstars in Juventus, but what they lack is just a stage to display.

They need a stage where they can shine.

Before the game, the atmosphere of the players from both sides was very harmonious. When they played against each other last season, they were very impressed with each other. After meeting again a year later, and on a grand occasion such as the opening game of the new stadium, it is natural to feel cordial.

In the last match, Juventus first took the lead with an absolute advantage. However, in the second half, Notts County fought back desperately and caught Juventus by surprise. In the end, the two teams battled to a draw.

However, Juventus players' impression of Notts County at that time was only on the tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding talent, and did not regard Notts County as an opponent on the same level.

However, when the game started, the impression of Juventus players on Notts County was completely overturned, because in the confrontation between the two teams, Notts County seemed to have the upper hand.

Although there is the factor of Notts County's home field advantage, there is also the factor that the Juventus players have just finished their vacation and their bodies have not returned to their best condition, but isn't it the same for Notts County!

Notts County's positional attack is extremely sharp, and Juventus is best at killing games slowly, so the game between the two is a competition for rhythm.

Juventus has the advantage of the system, while Notts County has the advantage of the midfielder. Both Deco and Alonso are masters in rhythm control. The two's midfielder partner can fully control the midfield. The advantages are firmly in their own hands.

In the first half, the two sides scored 1:1. Juventus opened the scoring with a strong shot from midfielder Nedved in the counterattack, while Villa in Notts County equalized the score.

In the second half, the two sides made major personnel adjustments, and Notts County replaced all 11 starting players, and the rotation came on stage.

At this time, the difference in the depth of the bench between the two sides is reflected.

Notts County's bench lineup even though there is a gap in strength with the main lineup, it will not be very obvious, at least the overall strength has not dropped particularly exaggeratedly, and although Juventus' bench also has first-class stars on the bench, but overall, the strength has declined. obvious.

As a result, Notts County completely controlled the field advantage without any suspense, and gradually completely suppressed Juventus.

It is absolutely rare for top giants Juventus to be beaten by others, let alone in Serie A. Even if they meet top giants in the Champions League, Juventus will not be so unbearable.

Even if Juventus has most of the substitutes on the field, the same is true for Notts County. The two sides are still on the same starting line, which is not an objective reason at all.

When Moji saw this scene, his eyes were about to bulge out. He couldn't believe the facts in front of him. He couldn't help but ask questions in his mind: Could it be that Notts County was the substitute in the first half?

But this question has just arisen, and it will be self-defeating immediately. In the first half, the main force of Juventus can have a slight advantage. How can it be Notts County's substitute? (To be continued.)
