Chapter 389 The Cruel West Ham United
After returning to Notts County, the Notts County players are undergoing restorative training, while the senior management and the coaching staff are having tense meetings, discussing whether to list the FA Cup as one of the highlights of this season.
Obviously, Notts County didn't take the FA Cup seriously at the beginning of the season. Neither the League nor the UEFA Cup is as important as the FA Cup, even though the FA Cup occupies a very important position in the hearts of traditional fans. But in the final analysis, the fact that this is a tasteless cup cannot be concealed.
Perhaps this is a replica of the fish-free version!
Those who are eligible to participate in the Champions League may regard the Champions League as the primary task of the competition, and those who do not have the Champions League will concentrate on playing in the league. Only those mid-range teams who are not at the same level will regard the FA Cup as the most important honor that can be won.
The most important thing for Notts County this season is to win the league title, followed by defending the UEFA Cup. No matter what other games, they are not as important as the two of them.
The League Cup has been consciously abandoned by Notts County. As a place to train newcomers, it has achieved its purpose and there will be no regrets.
If it is said that before Christmas, Notts County will still have an idea to do something in the FA Cup. After all, the team has a certain advantage in the Premier League, and the UEFA Cup has not yet started, but with the arrival of the terrifying schedule , most people also put out this thought.
There is no way, just playing two or three league games a week can squeeze the players' bodies enough. Even if there is a rotation, it is difficult to keep the players' bodies at their best. There are also international match days from time to time, which always makes the players The team has added several new injury numbers.
Arsenal are chasing so closely, and the UEFA Cup is about to rekindle the flames of war. Whether it is worth investing in the FA Cup at this time is debatable.
And the most important point, the opponent in this game is the Hammers, West Ham United, a notorious hooligan team with a brutal style of play, which makes people scratch their heads even more.
There are a few teams in England that almost everyone hates, West Ham United is one of them, their style of play is almost like playing rugby, if you don't get two opponents out of a game, it's like the game is not played Enjoy the same.
The assistant coach just presented the recent statistics of West Ham United to everyone. What everyone sees is not where the Hammers are ranked in the League One and how many goals they have scored, but how many players have been sent by West Ham recently. Injury list.
"Forget it, don't be head-on with these bastards. The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. Maybe we used to be barefoot too, so we don't have to care too much, but not now. We still have to compete for the championship in the league, and we also need Fighting to defend the UEFA Cup, if you are really injured by these tribal savages, you will regret it!" David shuddered, took a deep breath, and said a little badly.
The other people also had the expression of beeping dog. If you don't look at it, you don't know it. It's really shocking to see it!
The above data is very clear. Although there is no concept of big data at this time, it is still the most convincing to speak with data.
In the past five League One matches, among the opponents of West Ham United, a total of 9 players were injured and retired directly in the game. In addition to the players who were determined to miss the next few games due to various minor injuries after the game, West Ham United A total of 14 wounded were created.
In other words, West Ham United can let three players leave the field in almost one game, and in the most game, West Ham United's opponents were eliminated by five players, resulting in only 9 players in the final battle, because There aren't that many substitutions at all.
Everyone didn't know what to say. Imagine if Notts County were disabled in the game against West Ham United, what a terrible scene it would be. Thinking about it makes you shudder.
Of course, West Ham's brutal style of play is not unrestricted, but the English league itself pays attention to fierce confrontation, and League One is even more prevalent in physical style of play. As one of the best, West Ham United doesn't care so much.
As an opponent in the League One last season, Notts County did not seem to have taken advantage of the two encounters, and it was an unavoidable game. If possible, David would not let the players face it. What about those savages!
But now, at the critical moment of Notts County's breakthrough, there is really no need to compete with West Ham United. For a team like the Hammers, the best way is to sell them a good one. If the opponent knows how to be grateful If so, then be more restrained in the future match with Notts County, and Notts County will also earn.
Instead of fighting West Ham United for a tasteless game, and finally crippling a few but not getting too much benefit, it is better to make a proper choice and build a good relationship!
If Notts County wants to become the top giants of the Premier League, it is impossible to have a deadlock with all clubs. In the future, West Ham United will also be an important force in the Premier League.
After listening to David's words, everyone nodded, and Love was even more happy.
As the coach of the team, he is actually the last thing he wants to fight head-on with West Ham United. His outstanding performance for two consecutive seasons has made him not very interested in the FA Cup, which is a dispensable honor. If Everyone has paid too much, and he is absolutely unwilling to go all out.
Although he has no doubts about David's professionalism, what he is worried about is that David is forced by the pressure of the fans to ask the team to fight for all the honors. This is the scariest thing.
Notts County fans can be said to be poor and afraid. The honors they have won in the past century or so are not as many as in the past two seasons. They worry that the team will one day become the same team that can only compete in the low-level leagues. Therefore, taking advantage of the strength of the team to compete for the championship, it is best to get all the honors that can be won.
But now that David has made his statement, Loew is completely relieved, let the lively little guys of the reserve team go to the West Ham United for this game.
So on the day of the FA Cup, the chairman of West Ham United and David sat in the box, and when they saw Notts County's lineup, they were almost overjoyed.
West Ham play is brutal, but that doesn't mean they don't use their brains. If Notts County sends the main force or even a substitute lineup, they will be much stronger than West Ham. Even if they get rid of Notts County A few players will still lose in the end.
But it is different now. Notts County obviously gave up this game, otherwise they would not directly let the reserve team play, which means that this game West Ham United can advance to the next round of the FA Cup without bloodshed. Such good things are not easy to come across!
