Chapter 181 Signing the League Cup
Chapter 181 The League Cup Signed

Tony Price didn't give Wei Xun a very clear answer before he left. Although he kept smiling and tried to comfort Wei Xun, Wei Xun couldn't be satisfied.

Last year, when Tony Price came to him for secret talks to seek support, Wei Xun and Notts County asked for money and things, and never said a word of no.

Except for some "special" preferential policies that they said, Notts County didn't get anything substantial.

The penalties that Notts County suffered in the League Two are still unfair, and it can even be said to be completely outrageous, but fortunately, Notts County is strong enough to finally break through from the League Two.

In fact, Wei Xun didn't understand why Notts County would suffer some unfair penalties on the field every time Tony Price came to look for him. This guy seems to be a disaster star, but he happens to be in charge of referees , if it is said that all of this was ordered by him, then what is he planning?

Wei Xun didn't understand, and Zhao Tai didn't understand even more.

In fact, without the support of Notts County or the Magpies, Tony Price would not have been able to seek such a position in the FA. This guy may be a politician, but it is far from crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. when.

Wei Xun, Notts County, Magpie Group, for Tony Price, it is still useful to keep them.

He is not a chief referee at all, nor is he a pure football worker, he is an indispensable politician.

In the League Cup draw that night, it was the team general manager Giuseppe Marotta who represented Notts County in the draw ceremony.

Seeing that opponents who are not as strong as Notts County have been drawn out, Marotta is actually very upset in his heart. None of the remaining teams is easy.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds United, Newcastle, Tottenham...

In the end, Notts County drew their last opponent, Manchester United.

You can give Newcastle or Leeds United, but you chose Manchester United, which is the worst to play. Why don't you give us an Arsenal?
Sign up!
The Notts County coaches and players who had been waiting in front of the TV for a long time were a little helpless when they heard the news.

Only Huang Miao, who wholeheartedly wants to join Manchester United, is a little excited. After all, the match against Manchester United will be held at Meadow Lane, the home stadium of Notts County. This is the closest he is to his idols!

Is Notts County going to lose the fourth round of the League Cup again this time?
This is what Guardiola, Wei Xun and others are most concerned about.

Although the weight of the League Cup in the minds of English people is far behind that of the FA Cup and the Premier League, the Champions of the League Cup can also qualify for the Europa League play-offs, which is what attracts Notts County people the most. something to struggle with.

Notts County has a high probability of playing in the Premier League next season. If there is no European competition to play, many players will not choose to join Notts County. This will have a great impact on Notts County's reinforcement.

It is true that Wei Xun can scoop up little demons everywhere, but there is still some distance for these people to play in the Premier League immediately, or even play the main role.

The four-goal victory over Reading brought Notts County to the second place in the league. Notts County has no points difference from the league first, only two goal difference.

And the team's main left-back Felipe Lahm was also successfully elected as the best young player in League One last month.

In addition, Notts County's Ram, Lichtsteiner, Carvalho, Harvey Alonso and Hubner were once again selected for the best team of last week, Zhao Tai's heart is really bleeding .

On October [-]th, Notts County faced Crystal Palace at home. Guardiola did not choose to rotate. After all, it is now a critical moment to compete for the first place in the league. Notts County has no reason to give up the hope of winning the league for the League Cup.

Franck Ribery scored in the No.12 minute, and Spanish defender Arveiroa also scored a goal in the No.18 minute, but there was a lot of luck in this corner.

In the second half of the game, Chiellini and Thiago Motta helped the team score two more goals. Although they were pulled back by Crystal Palace in the 67th minute of the game, they could not change Notts County's three goals at home. The fact that wins Crystal Palace.

Three points, and three goal difference, let Notts County successfully climbed to the top of League One.

According to the news from Paratici and Devlin, it is said that today in the stands of the Meadow Lane Stadium, there were scouts for several Premier League teams, including the three teams with the most prosperous results at present, Manchester United , Liverpool and Arsenal.

Manchester United may have come to collect information on Notts County players, but the other two teams should have come to observe the performance of Notts County players, right?I just don't know who their targets are.

To strictly guard against such things, Wei Xun has already taken it seriously. As long as your procedures are legal and the players are willing to go, the offer should not be too outrageous. Everything is negotiable.

But if you dare to seduce players in private, then I'm sorry, and the bench will not be sold to you.

"General Fan" Fan Zhiyi, who once played for the Crystal Palace and served as the captain of the team, is no longer in the Crystal Palace.

As he grows older, Fan Zhiyi has joined the League Two team Cardiff City this year. After all, in three years, Fan Zhiyi will retire.

Being able to go to League One on the eve of retirement to experience some, and become the Asian Footballer of the Year and the captain of Crystal Palace, Wei Xun can still imagine from it that Lao Fan's strength at his peak back then.

In the No.13 round of the league, Notts County faced the challenge of the Wolves at home. The half-main and half-substitute lineup made Notts County's firepower slightly reduced. Relying on Klose's final decision, they won the opponent.

It's just a pity that Klose entered the injury list after scoring a goal and needs to rest for several games. It is unknown whether he can catch up with Manchester United.

In the next No.14 and fifteen rounds of League One, Notts County really started to rotate. After all, the main players like Klose can no longer be injured, and Guardiola cannot afford such a loss.

Dirk Didier, Warren Doyle, Curtis Jr., Jamie Vardy, Erzas and others got big appearances, while Sheffield United and Rotherham also played at home Became the ghost of the knife in Nottsshire.

However, Arbeloa, the strong offensive right back, is still injured. It is not enough to rely on defense against Manchester United. Lichtsteiner's defense is very stable, but Notts County needs more offensive firepower.

In their last game in October, Notts County returned to home against the Hornets Watford, leading the opponent by two goals after coming off the bench in the first half.

After No. 70 minutes changed to the main frontcourt, Notts County stabbed Watford three times in the heart.

At the end of the game, the visiting Watford swallowed five bullets and left with a crisp defeat, while the Notts County players who won a big victory have already begun to look forward to the game against the Premier League overlord Red Devils Manchester United in three days.

Facing the signing of the league, can a group of players in excellent condition and vigorous momentum change their fate against the sky and change the unfavorable situation of the team?

Notts County is looking forward to it, and the scouts of the Premier League powerhouses are also looking forward to it. The game three days later will be a big test for Notts County players.
