Chapter 248 Notts County Has Not Won Enough
This game against Bucharest Star is the start of Notts County's UEFA Cup journey this season, so Notts County must have no reason to lose. Even speaking, Loew still wants to win a big victory at home, in the first place The battle will be resolved in the round, saving away the need to fight with the opponent recklessly. ?? Hunting? ???
Although the Bucharest Stars is a Romanian domestic giant and has a certain reputation in Europe, its overall strength is far from that of mainstream league clubs, especially when professional football is more and more linked to commercial exhibitions today, lack of funds. Second-tier leagues are more of a foil role in European wars.
As is true, Star Bucharest also expressed a certain degree of pessimism about the result of the draw. Their best option is to draw a club in the same second-tier league instead of encountering the UEFA Cup defending in the first round. champion.
In the UEFA Cup last season, the clubs that underestimated Notts County died, and now that Notts County has been promoted to England, no one will underestimate them.
When the Bucharest star coach came to the road for an interview, he obviously felt insufficient confidence. Although he said that the team would fight for promotion and honor, he actually did not have much confidence.
Yes, if it really starts before the season, maybe the coach of Bucharest Star will still feel a little hopeful. After all, Notts County sold the team's two main players at a high price, and the role players were loaned out. Coupled with the pressure of the English league, Perhaps Notts County is simply unable to achieve any good results in the UEFA Cup.
But now it is completely different. Although Notts County sold two absolute main players, the results are amazing, and they have even tied the British opening winning streak, and they have been able to achieve six consecutive victories in the British League, and there are many of them. With a giant like Manchester United and new regulations like Chelsea, can Notts County be a simple role?
Romanians can only lament bad luck. If they encounter second-tier league clubs and even some underdogs in the top league, then the Bucharest star has a chance to go further, but now, it can only rely on luck.
In England, although ordinary fans are more concerned about the Champions League games, the performance of the British dark horse in Notts County in the UEFA Cup is still quite expected. Whether Notts County can defend the title, this is the Great point of view.
In order to ensure that the battle at home can be resolved as soon as possible, Loew, who was not plagued by injuries, did his best, and the players on the bench were always on call. They had no other goal, but to kill the suspense in the first round.
This is also Notts County's strategic strategy. In the early stage of the league, the schedule is not intensive. The ambitious Notts County must try their best to score points in the English and Queens League in the opening stage, so that when they are distracted by cup games later, they can There will be more wiggle room.
Fortunately,
Notts County did a good job in the league, but if they can save their energy, then this UEFA Cup must have a good result, saving the next leg to go to the road to fight for consumption.
However, the Notts County players did not disappoint the enthusiastic fans. They made a very smooth start with the main force, and they took a three-goal lead in the first half, and they were unable to fight back. .
Although Notts County's performance made their opponents extremely terrified, it would not be surprising to think of Notts County's strength in the English League.
Even Manchester United were beaten 5:o by Notts County. Could you be the Bucharest star, can Manchester United be better?
At halftime, Loew directly removed a Deco and replaced him with Klose, who wanted to completely defeat the opponent.
Although this score is enough to win the game, for the two-round contest, it is not impossible for an away accident to occur. Therefore, Loew hopes that Notts County can score more goals in the second half, so that the opponent can even return to the home court. There will be no will to fight, this is their ultimate goal in this game.
The double forward and single midfielder make Notts County appear top-heavy, but at this time Notts County is also the most powerful in attack. The double-forward combination of Villa and Klose is simply omnipotent and useless at all. In the last 2o minutes, the two have both scored goals and assisted each other as a temporary striker partner.
The big picture is set!
A five-goal lead, let alone this game, even in the second round, Bucharest Star couldn't make any waves.
This is an absolute disparity in overall strength, and it is by no means able to compete with spiritual qualities. Moreover, Notts County, who are playing at home, is not necessarily less than their opponents in terms of fighting spirit.
Now that there is no suspense in the game, Loew is naturally willing to use garbage time to train newcomers, so Kaka also got the opportunity to come off the bench.
However, it is obvious that because the victory and defeat are already divided, the two sides have a tacit understanding and did not attack and defend too intensely, so this score can be maintained until the end of the game.
Achieving the set goal and basically killing the suspense of the two-round match, Notts County's UEFA Cup journey went extremely smoothly.
Still, the score and the course of the game surprised fans, with Notts showing their dominance once again.
Big-scoring games are common in UEFA Cup qualifying matches. After all, many second-tier and even third-tier league clubs are flooded with them, and the quality is uneven, and it is inevitable that there will be a clear distinction between the strong and the weak.
But since it has reached the main race, although there are still underdogs, on the whole, there are not so many people who fish in troubled waters.
Even if Bucharest Star is not a top team, after all, it is the hegemon of Romania. Even if it does not have much competitiveness in the European war, it will not be bloodbathed in the first round!
In any case, the UEFA Cup defending champion's first appearance in the UEFA Cup in the new season gives people a sense of experience. Numerous media have listed Notts County as another favorite to win the championship. Of course, the biggest favorite must be Exiled to the giants Barcelona in the UEFA Cup.
For Notts County, being able to lock in and advance to the next round in advance is definitely a satisfactory result. When the schedule will gradually become denser, it will be such a pleasant thing to be able to send a lineup that has nothing to do with the overall situation. Son.
Even if Notts County's lineup is deep enough, isn't it a joy to play an indifferent war of attrition?
Now that the first round is over, Notts County can ignore the second round and focus on returning to the English League. They also want to create a new Premier League winning streak.
Six straight wins aren't enough, seven straight isn't enough, Notts County isn't enough. (To be continued.)
