Chapter 152 The Cursed Scoreboard
In the waiting and anticipation of all the clubs, the 02-03 season of English Football League One kicked off.
Notts County will face League One powerhouse Sheffield Wednesday in the first round of the league.
As the opponent of the semi-finals of the League Cup last season, Notts County still has some understanding of Sheffield Wednesday. Although they failed to be promoted from League One last season, they were able to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup, which is enough to prove Sheffield Wednesday. What's more, this season, Xie Wednesday has also made great efforts to strengthen the lineup. It may not be possible to directly upgrade, but at least competing for a qualification for the play-offs is still a very reasonable goal.
Especially in the context of the deteriorating environment of the leagues below the Premier League, the teams that had been living in the League One have become desperate. At this time, the last effort to hit the Premier League has become the last struggle, success, or Falling into the abyss, there are only two possible outcomes.
But for Sheffield Wednesday, meeting Notts County in the first round of the league was really painful for them.
I originally thought that I would be able to meet a weak team and get a good start, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will let others see the good start.
Although Notts County is not necessarily afraid of Notts County, but Notts County's strength is there. After analysis and analysis, it doesn't look like it is easy to fight. The only advantage is probably that he can fight at home.
Well, there must be a battle in the end, and who will win the battle is unknown, so we can't be timid before fighting!
As for Notts County, the one who wins or must win is much bigger than Sheffield Wednesday. This is the first round of League One, and everyone knows the significance of getting a good start.
At the beginning of the game, Notts County slowly put pressure on Sheffield Wednesday according to their favorite rhythm, pressing Villa's starter Di Natale was very active. position, it was a mess for Sheffield Wednesday's unstable defense.
Di Natale knows that he is not a talented player, so he needs to work harder to gradually improve himself, so he spares no effort in physical strength.
In the 8th minute, Di Natale received a 45-degree diagonal pass and scored a goal, 0:1.
In the 21st minute, Di Natale retreated to catch the ball, unexpectedly took a long shot and scored twice, 0:2.
In the 40th minute, it was Di Natale again, who scored a single-handed goal in the counterattack, rewriting the score to 0:3.
Di Natale, who performed a hat-trick, was so excited that he took off his jersey and ran all the way to the visiting team stands, echoed with the Notts County fans who came with the team, and finally threw the jersey into the stands.
Although he got a yellow card, Di Natale did not regret it. At least as a striker, his chances of getting a yellow card are still very small, and generally speaking, the impact is not big.
But Villa, who was sitting on the bench, was about to cry!
Damn, if I give you a chance to start, just wear a hat!
Can we still have fun together!
Do you know that I am under a lot of pressure!
Notts County led by three goals in the first half. Sheffield Wednesday, who played at home, had almost no resistance and played extremely depressed.
Unable to guard against Notts County's attack, he couldn't hit his own attack, and managed to organize a decent attack, but he was immediately counterattacked when he turned around. The kick couldn't be worse.
The coach of Sheffield on Wednesday simply sat on the coaching bench after falling behind by two goals, because even if he stood on the sidelines to direct the game, he could not make up for the huge gap in strength between the two teams.
He really wanted to ask: You are all so strong, why are you still in League One?
Xie Wednesday didn't think about attacking in the on-site game. All the staff returned to the backcourt to defend. They didn't have too much ambition, as long as the game didn't lose too badly, at least they can barely lose the score of 0:3. Accepted, but if there is a big defeat, it will have a great impact on future games, so the loss outweighs the gain.
Notts County is naturally happy to reduce consumption when the opponent withdraws. Although the game is not intensive at the beginning of the league, it is good to save a little energy. Quantitative changes will always produce qualitative changes.
In the end, Villa, who came off the bench, also scored a goal, and Notts County took away a big victory from the away game.
It is with this victory that Notts County has already sat at the top of the league standings after the first round of the league.
It is also very strange to say that, except for Leicester City's 2:0 victory over Grimsby, all the other 10 games have reached a draw, which is too exaggerated.
In a round of 3 league games, there may be 5-6 draws in general, and 7 or 10 draws are considered uncommon. As for [-] draws, it is definitely a rare event that is rare in ten years.
And such a small probability event actually appeared in the first round, which really shocked many people.
Of course, this is not a coincidence without a reason. Except for Portsmouth’s draw by Millwall, which is considered an upset, the strength of the two opponents in the other games is very similar, so there is a large-scale draw.
Looking at the League One standings, the top two Notts County, Leicester City and the last two Sheffield Wednesday, Glasby, and the other 1 point are extremely conspicuous, making many people dumbfounded.
And in the next second round of the league, this kind of low-probability event happened again, which is really scary.
Notts County once again achieved a 4-goal victory at home, but the opponent was replaced by Norwich.
Portsmouth narrowly beat Glasby by 1 goal.
The Wolves reversed Sheffield Wednesday away.
This is the only three games in the second round of the league where the outcome was determined, while the other 9 games were all tied.
Faced with this weird situation, all League One fans can only shout, bewitched!
Because they couldn't think of any other better explanation!
In the standings, Notts County outshone the others with 6 points, showing the true qualities of a strong team.
Leicester City, Portsmouth and Wolves also have 4 points, but they are ranked second, third and fourth because of the goal difference.
Looking further down, this is another neat 2 points, as if the whole world is in harmony.
Are you really planning to carry the draw to the end?
Well, pardon us for not pardoning us!
The Notts County fans are very excited. Their team has been sitting at the top of the standings from the beginning, showing the strength and momentum to hit the Premier League. As long as they maintain their form, is the Premier League still far away?
Looking at the rivals in the same city, Nottingham Forest, like other teams, seems to have been cursed, two consecutive draws, you can say that you are tied for No.5, or you can be tied for the bottom 21, it is so fun!
