Chapter 740 Best Death

"We will pay attention to the game between Notts County and Lille to prevent match-fixing and tacit understanding of the ball, but we will not interfere with the specific formation of the club. This is the freedom of the club!"

The UEFA Disciplinary Inspection Committee had to take a stand when the public opinion was uproar.

Old Pozzo is going crazy! Is there any use for this?

Notts County has already sent a second-class lineup, even if they try their best, they are not Lille's opponents!

Perhaps because of Udinese's unpopularity, the media support Notts County one-sidedly, and Lille is the biggest beneficiary. It is precisely because of Udinese's own death that Lille may also qualify for a UEFA Cup Woolen cloth!

However, after the game officially started,

Everyone found out that David didn't lie, Notts County really didn't play match-fixing with Lille, these young players fought very fiercely on the field, even if Lille had the advantage at home, they couldn't break the promise in a short time. The gate of Ibaraki.

Notts County's counterattack was also very resolute. Bell's speed made Lille's adult players feel very difficult, and there was Portugal's top scorer Suarez in the frontcourt. Facing Notts County's counterattack, Lille also looked embarrassed.

Old Pozzo watched the Udinese game while listening to the broadcast of another game, but learned that Notts County did not give up the game because of the second-tier lineup and was only slightly disadvantaged, and hope suddenly arose in his heart. For the first time in his life he wanted Notts County to win.

Of course, the prayers of the old Pozzo are difficult to have practical effect. Notts County finally lost, although Notts County scored a wonderful goal in the second half to equalize the score, but Lille is a Champions League team after all, How could it be that Notts County's second-tier lineup could be defeated? Before the end of the game, Lille seized the opportunity to score two goals in a row and defeated Notts County 3:1, winning the first victory in the group stage.

And Udinese lost to Villarreal without any suspense. As a result, Lille ranked third in the group with 5 points, while Wuji still only has 2 points.

Maybe the result is already obvious, no matter what result Lille achieves against Villarreal in the last game, they will go straight to the qualifying, because Notts County will never give Udinese a good look in the last game. .

At the end of the game, the cheers from Lille's home stand were filled with incomparable joy. For Lille, being able to experience the Champions League once and continue to play the UEFA Cup is enough to satisfy them!

And Udinese,

No one was saddened by them, so they could only go through six rounds of the group stage, leaving a humiliating result and get out of the way.

Old Pozzo no longer mentions sportsmanship or the like. Everyone can see how hard the players in Notts County are working hard, but there is nothing that can be done if they are not as good as others.

Not only that, Udinese is also facing a penalty from UEFA, who made them look for trouble before the game!

After the five rounds of group matches, the situation in most of the groups has basically become clear. Several giants have locked in the qualifying places in advance, and even locked in the first position in the group. However, some strong teams need to be neutralized in the final round because their state is not stable enough. The opponents are fighting fiercely to fight for a qualification!

Bayern and Juventus,

Chelsea and Inter Milan, the four giants that met these two also qualified ahead of time. The only thing to contend for is the first place in the group. The so-called death group just looks like that!

The atmosphere of the Champions League is gradually fading, the league has restarted, the European football is in full swing, and there are very exciting and powerful conversations almost every weekend.

But when Notts County just returned to England, a big event happened in English football.

On November 25, England legend George Best died of illness at the age of 59.

As the greatest talent in Manchester United history, Best played 474 times for Manchester United, scored 181 goals, won two league titles and a Champions League.

Compared with those top stars, it is not too good, but his talent makes him the most shining superstar in the game. He can easily break through in the heavy siege, and he can handle the ball perfectly with an elegant and light action. Stroll past defenders and goalkeepers in a high-speed run.

In 2000, 1,000 English sports journalists and industry professionals organized the selection of the best athletes in England's history, and George Best was honored to be elected.

But ironically, he never knew how great he could have been.

Best's looks are enough to make him a world-famous actor and singer, but for football players, it could be a disaster.

Addicted to alcoholism, obsessed with girls, and singing every night led to hastily ending his Manchester United career at the age of 26. If he can keep his self-discipline, then there may be not only two legends of football champions left in football now, but also one more Best!

The news of Best's death spread all over England immediately. Manchester United fans spontaneously held mourning activities. The hospital where Best died was already covered with white flowers, and the whole Manchester was crying.

Countless fans around the world cherished the memory of this great and controversial legend in various ways, and football superstars such as Maradona and Beckham paid their last respects to Best.

The FA quickly decided that there would be a minute's silence for Best before all games over the weekend in honour of the legendary star.

In fact, in the era of George Best, there were not many video records, and the legend of Best was more spread by word of mouth. In his previous life, David had not seen many videos of Best, and he always thought it was too much to praise Best. But now, David seems to feel that Best's influence may be worthy of the name.

Even if the FA does not ask, David will ask the players to observe a moment of silence for Best before the game, but it’s okay to wrap his arms in black veils. After all, more of Best’s legends have stayed at Manchester United, and it is only appropriate for Manchester United to do so. Manchester United are said to have begun preparations for a grand mourning ceremony.

The game against Tottenham went well, the entrance ceremony, a moment of silence, and then the game officially started.

Tottenham's strength is not strong, at most it is in the middle of the upper reaches. It is difficult to resist the stormy attack of Notts County at the Magpie Stadium. Notts County, which is full of firepower, ended the game with a big victory.

With 10 wins and 2 draws in 12 games, Notts County continued to maintain an undefeated strength and continued to lead the standings.

I thought that the media would continue to tout Notts County's performance after the game, but who would have thought that the media's attention was all drawn away, because in a few games, during the silence for Best before the game, there was a scene that made ordinary people something very unacceptable.
