Chapter 143 Is This a League One Club?
After the game against Bewell, Notts County made intensive training for the problems exposed in this game, and a week later, Notts County went to London to warm up with the Premier League team Fulham game.
Fulham is about to participate in the Toto Cup. If they successfully enter the final, they will also qualify for the UEFA Cup, so they attach great importance to this warm-up match.
Perhaps many people still think that Notts County, a newly promoted League One team, has the qualifications to gain a foothold in the League One, but no matter from all aspects, they cannot compete with the Premier League teams. Last season's excellent record in the League Cup It is more the result of a combination of various favorable factors.
But the coach of Fulham will not have this kind of thought. Since Notts County performed amazingly in the League Cup last season, he has paid close attention to this amazing League Two team. Of course, his initial thoughts But complaining that a League Two club can have so much transfer budget, and he, the coach of a Premier League club, can only stare greedily, what is the reason!
But gradually, after a few games, he discovered that this League Two club is not without strong reason, and the transfer of a huge amount for the League Two club is not in vain.
This kind of lineup configuration is not to mention in the second league, with a little running-in, even in the Premier League, it can completely gain a foothold, so it is not unpopular or unexpected that such a team can win the League Cup.
Not to mention that this season Notts County has retained the main force framework, and has targeted reinforcements to the lineup, and the strength of the main force and the substitute has been further reduced.
With such a large and powerful lineup, a League One club will only focus on upgrading from League One?
This is obviously the rhythm of two-line combat!
No one can imagine how terrifying combat effectiveness such talented players can erupt in a mature tactical system. The coach of Fulham has a hunch that perhaps after this season, many Premier League clubs can only look up to Notts County. A newly promoted team, and that should include Fulham.
In fact, knowing the strength and talent of Notts County players, he has already asked Notts County about the possibility of transferring several players this summer, but the final result disappointed him. How could Notts County, which is far ahead of Fulham, sell the team's players for a small profit.
The Fulham coach also believes that this game is the touchstone for the club to achieve good results in the Toto Cup and finally reach the UEFA Cup. The opponents encountered in the Toto Cup should still be stronger than Notts County. If They can not lose in this game, so it is really not a luxury to enter the European war.
However, after this game, Rao had already overestimated Notts County's strength as much as possible, but he had to admit that he still underestimated Notts County.
From the first minute of the game, Notts County has completely taken the initiative on the field. Today, they may have psychological ups and downs when facing giant clubs, but facing Fulham, an ordinary Premier League player like Fulham. For the team, it is really difficult for them to feel jealous. This is the incomparable confidence that they won the League Cup last season.
Even though Fulham was at home, they were still overwhelmed by waves of Notts County's ferocious offensive.
Fulham fans didn't pay much attention to this game at first. The team warmed up with a League One team in preparation for the Toto Cup. They were all dumbfounded.
Nima, this is called League One Club?
Can League One clubs overwhelm Fulham?
When did League One clubs have this strength?
Some thoughtful fans have already thought that it seems that Fulham took the initiative to contact Notts County for this game, and the Premier League club took the initiative to find the League One club to warm up. Is there any unknown special meaning in this?
Now it seems that this club that won the League Cup last season is still well-deserved, and its strength is not as strong as 01:30!
The first half of the game made most Fulham fans a little unacceptable. Fulham, who was determined to make a difference in the Toto Cup and qualify for the UEFA Cup, was beaten by Notts County at halftime in the warm-up match. Scoring two goals and not scoring one is not just a matter of luck.
Even those who don't know football can tell that Notts County is better on the field.
The chairman of Fulham was also pale in the stands box. He was not satisfied with the fact that the Fulham coach finalized such a warm-up match, which was obviously to take care of the opponent, but now it seems that Notts County performed better. With his strength, it turns out that he agreed to his invitation because the other party was taking care of him!
Shouldn't such a powerful club belong to the Premier League?
At this moment, the chairman of Fulham has already mourned in his heart for other clubs in League One.
For the sake of training and adjusting the lineup, both sides made large-scale substitutions during the intermission, and the final result of the game was that Notts County defeated Fulham 4:1 away and won the first place. The victory of the two warm-up matches.
Of course, such a victory does not have much real significance. Even if the warm-up wins the Premier League team, it will not add a point to the League One standings.
Fulham's coach didn't know that because of this game, Fulham's chairman had moved his mind to fire himself. After all, a Premier League team lost to a League One team. No matter what the reason was, the main scapegoat must be The coach comes back.
If the Fulham coach knows what the chairman thinks, then he must regret why he decided to finalize such a warm-up match.
After this warm-up match, Notts County immediately went to the Basque Country of Spain, where they will train for a week and have a warm-up match with Real Sociedad.
It is said that when Notts County proposed to play a warm-up match with the Royal Society, the Royal Society refused.
With a League Two club, oh no, it seems that last season’s League Two club can play in League One in the new season, but even if it’s a League One club, what’s the point of warming up? It is worthwhile for the team to play a game.
Even if the two teams have contacted about Alonso's transfer, it is only an ordinary transaction relationship. It is really not that harmonious. It was just a transaction between you and me at the beginning.
However, when Real Sociedad coach Toshack got the news, he insisted on agreeing to the game. It was he who persuaded the top management of Real Sociedad to formally finalize the warm-up match.
