Chapter 484: The Super Cup Becomes an Away Game?

The best Premier League season is not in vain. In the second round of the league, the five contending teams once again won together, although some won big, while others won tragically. At least they got three points, and they didn't fall behind their competitors at the beginning of the league. No matter how you look at it, it's a happy thing!

Notts County easily defeated Charlton on the road, and the players also had a certain rotation. Villa, who wanted to defend the Premier League Golden Boot, broke out in a brave state again. He scored twice in a row and scored in two games. Four balls.

In fact, after Villa won the European Golden Boot, his eyes are no longer limited to the Premier League. He has a bigger dream. Perhaps in the past, this can only be called a dream, and there is no possibility of realization. , but now it is completely different, because he has had the opportunity to realize his dream.

European Ballon d'Or, and World Footballer!

For a football player, these two individual awards are undoubtedly the highest honor and the greatest recognition for a great player. Perhaps Villa could only think about it before, but now it seems that it is not without Chance.

World Footballer, although he is more famous, but because of the selection mechanism, the gold content of this award is not as high as that of the European Ballon d'Or. Maybe because of lack of popularity, he could not be elected.

But the European Ballon d'Or is different. Their selection is more professional and pays more attention to the performance of the players on the field, rather than just considering the popularity, so Villa feels that even if he can't win the title of world footballer, he is still in Europe. In the selection of the Golden Globe Awards, I have a chance to win!

Last year's European Ballon d'Or winner was Nedved, and the winner of the World Footballer was Ronaldinho. This can see the gap. Obviously, Nedved's performance was better last year, while Ronaldinho only The fame is greater, no honor is obtained, that's all.

The two awards will be selected at the end of the year, so Villa will continue to increase his chips for his aspirations. The better his performance, the greater the chance of him winning.

After scoring 4 goals in two games, Villa's barrel was already hot.

However, in the Premier League scorer list, Villa is not particularly beautiful. His former good partner, Di Natale, who is also a competitor, is also trying his best to compete with Villa. The Italian shooter has Thanks to Mourinho's tactics, he also scored twice in both games and is now tied for the top scorer with Villa, which is really surprising.

Although Klose played a lot of time last season, due to the type of technology, he was unable to match Villa in the number of goals scored in the Premier League and UEFA Cup. Notts County scored a number of striker goals. Not as good as when Villa and Di Natale competed.

At this time, some people are assuming that if Di Natale does not leave, who can compete with Notts County's striker in terms of goals this season, Villa and Di Natale's goals will increase It may be more than the number of goals the mid-to-low team has scored throughout the season.

Of course, this assumption cannot be established, at least if both of them are on the team, they will often share playing time, and the number of goals will naturally not be so much in the future!

So now it seems that Di Natale's departure will help both himself and Villa in the future development. Now is not the best proof!

At least Notts County's scorers and former scorers occupy the top two in the Premier League's scorer list, isn't it a great recognition of Notts County!

Of course, because there is already a super scorer Villa, even if the fans of Notts County are still obsessed with Di Natale, it is not to the point of becoming ill, and there is always some memory and sentimentality!

The strength of the five championship teams did not surprise David. In fact, there should be another team that could also join the ranks this season, and that team is Everton.

However, the rise of Notts County has led to a series of changes, which even David can't grasp. Just like last season, Moyes's team was tragically relegated from the Premier League. Know what to say!

You know, in this season in history, Everton’s performance in the Premier League surprised everyone. Originally, a mid-to-lower team was able to rank fourth in the standings, overwhelming Liverpool. , won a place in the Champions League play-offs, which is simply unimaginable.

But now, Moyes' team can only struggle in the newly restructured British Championship. Even if they have thriving at the top of the standings after a few rounds of the league, they can only console themselves.

After the end of this round of the league, the Notts County team came to Monaco to prepare for the European Super Cup!

Notts County participated in the Super Cup as the UEFA Cup champion, while Notts County's opponent was last season's Champions League champion Monaco. At the same time, the two teams were also divided into the same group in the new season's Champions League group stage. The three battles were highly anticipated.

This is also a disadvantage of Notts County. Since 1998, the European Super Cup has been played at the Stade Louis II of Monaco, which is the home of Monaco in the Ligue 1.

Who would have thought that a Ligue 1 team, Monaco, would be able to top Europe, but now, this time the European Super Cup contest is equivalent to Monaco's home advantage, which is a big disadvantage for Notts County.

Even if Notts County organizes fans to go to Monaco to cheer for the team, how many fans will respond to the call? After all, the European Super Cup is essentially a tasteless game, not much better than the Community Shield, let alone. Compared with the UEFA Cup final, according to the data reported before the game, the number of fans who can reach Monaco is no more than 1w.

You must know that the total population of Nottinghamshire is only more than 200,000 even if the foreign population is added. Among them, Notts County has won about 10w fans because of its strong performance in recent seasons. That is to say, there are close to Half of them are Notts County fans.

It is very rare to have one-tenth of the fans rush to the away game to cheer for the team in a game that is not particularly important.

There is no way, although Monaco won the Champions League!

Of course, even if the European ultrabook becomes the equivalent of an away game, it will not be afraid of it. Now Notts County has the temperament of a strong man, not to mention the opponent is Monaco, even if it is a real The century-old giants can also face it very calmly. This is the real growth of Notts County, which is more important than technical and tactical growth. (To be continued.)
