Chapter 546 Don't Think About Taking Notts County Players Away

The Premier League is in full swing, but La Liga is in the winter break, so Laporta has time to visit Notts County.

On New Year's Day, Laporta's plane landed at East Midlands Airport, and it was naturally his friend Soriano who picked him up.

Because this day happened to be the day when Notts County played against Norwich at home in the league, so after getting off the plane, Soriano took Laporta directly to the chairman's box at the Magpies Stadium.

If it wasn't for Laporta's coming, I'm afraid David should be watching the game on the bench at this time, instead of drinking red wine and eating steak in the box.

"Welcome, Mr. Laporta!" When the helm of Barcelona arrived, David seemed very enthusiastic, but as for what he thought in his heart, no one knew.

Well, David admits, it's all for Soriano's sake!
"Can I call you David? I hoped to have a chance to communicate with you a long time ago, and this time I finally have this opportunity!" Laporta seemed to be very talkative, at least not annoying.

So in the time before the game, there was Soriano's needlework, and the three of them chatted in the box without getting into the main topic.

After the game started, David didn't give Laporta a chance, but watched the game like an enthusiastic fan.

Laporta didn't know that David didn't like him very much, but he also heard that David was different from other club presidents, so he didn't feel rude.

Anyway, now is not a good time for negotiations. Laporta sat quietly and watched the game, just to see the strength of Notts County up close!

Although Notts County eliminated Barcelona in the UEFA Cup last season, Barcelona was not the strongest Barcelona last season. It can only be said that it is in the stage of revival, but it is different now. Ronaldinho has fully grown into a super player. Superstars, coupled with the support of a bunch of first-class stars, Barcelona has almost reached its peak state.

The suspense of this Premier League game itself is not much. Notts County plays a relegation team at home, unless Norwich brings electric welding tools and changes the goal of the Magpie Stadium into a small goal used by children when they play football. It completely blocked all the space for goals before, so that it is possible to limit Notts County's goals, otherwise, Norwich, who is deeply trapped in the relegation zone, will not be able to compete with Notts County.

Notts County even lost the league leader Chelsea in the last round, so how could it be possible to overturn the gutter on Norwich!
At the end of the first half, Notts County, which was fully fired, had already led the opponent by 4 goals. The Magpies at home beat the opponent to pieces.

Perhaps the score was shocking, but in fact the scene of the game was even more shocking. Norwich was almost on the defensive all the time. It wasn't that they didn't want to cause trouble for Notts County in the counterattack. Can't play, the ball possession rate is just in the early 20%, and there is no shot at all. It is simply abused.

"Notts County is really strong!" Laporta was so shocked that he muttered to himself.

As the chairman of a club, he may not have special professional knowledge of football skills and tactics, but he can still tell whether the game is good or bad.

In fact, there is a popular saying in Europe that the strong teams in La Liga are competitive in the Champions League, the mid-range teams in Serie A are the most powerful among the mid-range teams in all leagues, and among the bottom-tier teams, the Premier League has the upper hand. been actually tested.

Norwich has no idea that it is the bottom team in the Premier League, but its strength is also stronger than the bottom team in La Liga.

But even if Barcelona is now brought over to play a game with Norwich, it may not be difficult for Barcelona to beat Norwich, but it is impossible to completely control the game, and Barcelona cannot do this yet.

Barcelona couldn't do it, but Notts County did. Doesn't this mean that Notts County is stronger than Barcelona?

This made Laporta feel extremely frustrated.

David looked at Laporta, who seemed to have a dull expression, and his heart was still very happy. Football is a game where strength comes first. Fortunately, Notts County is about to stand on the top!
"After watching the game today, we will arrange for you to visit the training base and youth training base in Notts County tomorrow. Tomorrow night, we will hold a press conference on this matter. After all, after the media learned that you are coming After visiting Notts County, I tried my best to get first-hand information, and I think it would be good to announce it openly and honestly!" David said to Laporta during the intermission.

Laporta nodded, and said with a forced smile: "The guest can do whatever he wants, you can arrange it!"

However, the head of Barcelona still hopes to enter the rhythm of negotiations as soon as possible, so he hesitated and said: "Actually, one of the purposes of my visit to Notts County this time is to establish a long-term cooperation mechanism with Notts County, which is all-round. , including youth training, business development, promotion, etc., and the other one is naturally about the star player Villa. I want to know if Villa has a chance to transfer to Barcelona. Please rest assured that we are very sincere. Would offer such an absurd quid pro quo like Juventus!"

David has always been guessing how long Laporta can endure. It seems that this guy's city still needs to be cultivated, and it is far from reaching the level when he called the wind and rain.

"I am very much looking forward to the long-term communication between our two clubs. However, regarding the transfer of Villa, Notts County's attitude is very clear. Villa is not for sale. We will not transfer the club's flag figure The sale, regardless of Real Madrid, Juventus or Inter Milan, has been rejected by us. I hope you can understand this, as if you are asked to sell Ronaldinho now. He and Villa are both World Footballer of the Year winners. Is Barcelona really Can you push Ronaldinho to the transfer market?" Now that Laporta has already expressed his attitude, there is no need for David to hide it.

In fact, Soriano should have clearly expressed Notts County's attitude with Laporta, but Laporta still didn't give up. Obviously, the mentality of the rich is sick again. He always thinks that it is difficult for players to resist the temptation of the rich. , and it is difficult for the club to resist the offensive of the giants. In the end, there is no other choice but to sell players.

But is Notts County one of those big belly clubs that can be slaughtered?

Both Notts County and Villa are qualified to say no to Barcelona, ​​because Notts County has the confidence!
Perhaps starting from Villa, Notts County will tell all the giants that without his consent, no one can forcefully take players away from Notts County!

This has not changed for 100 years!
