Chapter 445: The End of the Season

Because Notts County did not hold a special celebration after winning the Championship in the English League, so this time it returned from the UEFA Cup with honors. It happened that the two champions celebrated together, and Notts County celebrated for two days. ? ? hunting

Although the rivals Nottingham Forest and Mansfield in the same city are invisible, they all have their most important tasks, so they have no time to make trouble.

That's right, it is precisely because of the rise of Notts County that Nottingham Forest also invested heavily in the introduction of stars last summer. In the front row, although they did not rank in the top two and were directly promoted to England, they were qualified for a promotion play-off. The whole team is preparing to attack England!

Mansfield's first two seasons in the League One failed, but this season, he didn't let the opportunity slip away and got a place for direct promotion. Now he is preparing for his first season in League One!

Nottingham seems to have become another major football town. Next season, there will be two English teams and one League One team. The local fans of Nottingham will be the happiest.

After the celebration, the Notts County first team was also disbanded. Players who did not have the task of playing in the national team began to go on vacation around the world, while the internationals who were going to participate in the European Championships returned to the national team non-stop to report. The competition was something they had been looking forward to for a long time.

Except for a few young players, most of the current Notts County first team are international players.

Villa, Alonso, and Iniesta are already regulars of the Spanish national team. Although they may not all have important positions, after all, they are still young, and they are destined to leave a strong mark in the future.

To David's delight, Diego Lopez also entered the national team and became Spain's third national team after San Cassi and Canizares. Yes, even the British champion's goalkeeper could not enter the national team, It's kind of impossible to say.

Klose and Lahm were selected for the German national team and are already the absolute main players. Westerman was also selected for the squad, but it was difficult to get the chance to play. The only regret is that Mertesacker was not selected, which made Germany The high man was a little dejected.

Of course, Deco and Carvalho do not need to say that they are both core players of the Portuguese national team. In the European Championships held in Portugal, the golden generation of Portugal will inevitably take winning the championship as the ultimate goal. important.

Sneijder, Robben and Kuyt have all entered the Dutch team's squad, but I am afraid that only Robben can have stable playing time. The Dutch team also needs Robben's raiding ability on the wing.

The French national team only recruited Ribery, and the French media are unanimously optimistic that the scarred warrior will become Zidane's best helper.

As a club in the English league, Notts County's contribution to England internationals is too small. In the entire first team, only one player from Leyton Baines has been selected for the English squad. However, because of the existence of Ashley Cole, Baines The main left-back of Notts County can only be used as a substitute.

Lescott was not selected. At present, the reserves of the England national team in the central defender position are really amazing. Ferdinand, Terry, Campbell, these three players alone are enough to make any central defender sigh.

The more players selected for the national team, the stronger the club is and the more recognized it is, but for Notts County, it may not be a good thing!

As we all know, post-match sequelae are a very common state in football. Whenever the World Cup and European Championships are held in the summer, the participating players cannot get enough rest, which will also affect the team's summer preparations accordingly. , If the physical reserve cannot be completed, it may directly affect the performance of the entire season.

With so many players from Notts County on the roster for this year's European Championship, I'm afraid it's going to be a tough time for Notts County early next season.

However, there is no way. Playing for the country is the ultimate honor, and it is also the lifelong pursuit and dream of every player. Notts County cannot stop it.

Just because the season is over doesn't mean David's work is over, or even his next season has begun.

That's right, what is in front of him now is the job that gives him a lot of headaches - the transfer operation.

The performance of one season's experience, even though it has already become a favorite in the eyes of many clubs, the players of Notts County have once again detonated the European transfer market, and every player has become the pursuit of several clubs. The momentum of that kind of bidding is even more lively than the auction.

A long time ago, the media predicted that if Notts County still has outstanding results this season, then Notts County will open a star city this summer, and countless giants will dig out the foundation of the team, and even many people will transfer in the winter. Window time waiting to see Notts County falling apart.

Not selling a player during the winter transfer period has made those media who claim to know the ball feel ashamed. Now that Notts County has won the double crown, the giant clubs can still show mercy to you.

Transfers are usually done for two purposes, one is to enhance one's own strength, and the other is to weaken the competitiveness of the opponent at the same time. Now that poaching Notts County can achieve both purposes!

The players sold by Notts County have been proven in various stadiums, and they must be high-quality products. Even if the price is higher, they are still worth the money. So at this time, many clubs have already turned their attention to Notts County. , There are even many small clubs who plan to come and fish in troubled waters.

However, usually players' transfers will peak after the big game. No club would be stupid enough to sell international players before the big game. If a player performs well in the European Championships, not to mention the skyrocketing value, at least it will be better than that. Much higher than before!

Before the high tide of player transfers, Ying was the first to set off a storm of coaching.

The Italian coach Ranieri, who led Chelsea to the third place in the league and made his way to the Champions League semi-finals, was released from his contract, and the Portuguese madman Mourinho entered Chelsea.

It is worth mentioning that in the just-concluded Champions League final, in the absence of important players such as Deco and Carvalho, Mourinho still led the team to the final with a tough wrist, but this It is already the limit. It is difficult for that group of relatively mediocre players to compare with Monaco's strong squad. French Marshal Deschamps had the last laugh.

However, to be able to lead such a mediocre Porto to the Champions League final, Mourinho's coaching ability was recognized by Abramovich, so the Magic Bird entered the Blues Chelsea with a high salary. (To be continued.)
