Chapter 390 Carvalho Wants Revenge

In the end, Notts County, who played as a reserve team, was eliminated from the FA Cup by the Hammers to help West Ham United. The players of the reserve team may be able to show off their strength once against a lower league team, but against a strong League One team , there is no combat power that can be obtained.

After the game, the chairman of the West Ham United club expressed his gratitude to David very vaguely. Although he didn't say much, David knew that West Ham United was honored.

David doesn't have any league, and he doesn't mean to play match-fixing, but he can't let Notts County be isolated in the Premier League. The so-called one hero has three gangs. There are a few younger brothers who are well-connected in a giant like Manchester United. The president of Notts County. Can't even talk about human feelings!

He doesn't need others to deliberately lose when facing Notts County, as long as they don't play crooked ways. For example, West Ham United, don't add a few injured and sick to Notts County in one game.

The FA Cup was eliminated. Since then, Notts County has only two competitions, the Premier League and the UEFA Cup, to sprint. The task is simple and clear.

On another venue, there was also good news. Arsenal played all the main force and eliminated their opponents to advance to the FA Cup round of 16.

If Notts County turned out, then Arsenal's strategy would not be a big problem. To remain unbeaten in the league, they have left behind the chasers, and they can also show the ambition of the team by going on three lines.

But now it's completely different. Notts County is still ahead of Arsenal in the standings, and there is still a small gap. Arsenal have been chasing for so long without touching Notts County's butt. Not enough to make Arsenal uncomfortable!

After a while, the Champions League knockout round will start again. Although Arsenal's lineup is well configured and the thickness is not bad, everyone is still very optimistic about his ability to fight in the third line. Isn't this digging a hole for himself!

It's like when Arsenal and Notts County faced off for the first time, three core players were unable to play due to injuries. Arsenal didn't even have the confidence to fight against Notts County in front of Notts County. What qualifications do they have to play in the third-line battle? !

Sure enough, Arsenal, who had done their best in the FA Cup, were in a downturn in the next round of the league. They were drawn at home by the underdogs, and they were beaten by Notts County when they easily beat Portsmouth. 8 points difference.

After 23 rounds, there are still 15 rounds left in the league. This gap cannot be said to be unsurpassable, but judging from the current stable state of Notts County, it is definitely not an easy task to tie the gap of 8 points.

At this time, not only the media, but even Arsenal fans began to accuse Wenger of having problems with his strategy. He was so far behind in the league, but he still had the heart to play in the FA Cup. This was to leave a way out for himself. ah?

If Arsenal have no opponents in the league,

So casually the FA Cup or the League Cup, anyway, the fans regarded it as a lively event, but now distracted by the FA Cup, it is no different from courting death.

But things haven't gotten to the top yet. Everyone is waiting for the next round of the league, because the next round happens to be the second round between Notts County and Arsenal. If Arsenal can beat Notts County, then everything will be fine. , but once the worst result occurs, then you can directly announce that Arsenal will withdraw from the competition for the Premier League title this season. At that time, it will be understandable to compete for the FA Cup.

For Arsenal, the only good thing is that they have a week of rest. Although this week is not enough for the players to return to their best physical fitness and state, at least they will not be so embarrassed. When facing Notts County, They can finally play in full force.

For Notts County, this game is also a crucial game, and the grievances between the two sides in the first round also need to be understood in this game.

In the first round of the confrontation, Arsenal were passive, but at the last moment, they were lucky to get a draw because of Henry's diving-like diving.

Although even the FA and the referee committee were under pressure to admit that the penalty was a misjudgment and punish Henry, the result of the game could not be changed, and the victory won by Notts County just flew away. .

So this game for Notts County is not only a key game for the championship, but also a game of revenge. They want Arsenal to pay the most painful price for what they did.

The strong Notts County VS the equally strong Arsenal, the battle for the top of the Premier League standings, a game called the battle of the century, will inevitably become the focus of attention of fans throughout England, Europe and even the whole world.

In terms of the number of fans, Arsenal, the arsenal, has gained a large number of fans by virtue of its status as a giant, outstanding results and gorgeous play style. Although Notts County has performed strongly, it is inferior to Arsenal in terms of popularity, so it is not very optimistic. .

But for Notts County, this game is the best way to increase exposure. The more people pay attention, the better it will be for Notts County.

When fans all over the world watched this game and cheered for Arsenal, they were stunned to discover that there was another team in the Premier League that played even more gorgeously and achieved outstanding results than Arsenal.

So Notts County's popularity suddenly opened up.

In fact, Notts County has a certain reputation in Europe. After all, it was the UEFA Cup champion last season, and its technical and tactical play is very advanced, but it is not so popular in the world.

Notts County needs a bigger stage to show itself, and the era when wine is not afraid of deep alleys is long gone.

The players also know the importance of this game, so they are much more serious in training before the game, especially Carvalho, who is training like crazy.

In the first round against Arsenal, Henry took a penalty by diving in front of Carvalho. Carvalho has been in deep self-blame, and he has to complete the redemption in this game, whether it is for himself Or for the team, he has to block everything.

Notts County’s team atmosphere is the best, and the players understand Carvalho’s mentality, so as soon as everyone discussed it, they specially designed a set of corner kicks and set-piece tactics with Carvalho as the core. Klose and Weiss Terman screened for him together, hoping that he could use the goal to complete the redemption.

When Loew saw this, he didn't say anything. Sometimes players have a lot of autonomy on the field. He also agrees that players use their own brains to think about it. Players with high IQ are the coach's favorite after all. Will not dampen the enthusiasm of the players. (To be continued.)
