Chapter 154
After more than a week of rest, the League One league has reopened, and the fighting has become more and more intense.
The focus of this round of battle is not Notts County vs. Derby County.
Because Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire also belong to the East Midlands region, in fact, this Notts County-Derby County game can also be called the East Midlands Derby.
However, because there is a big gap between the two before, no one hypes this concept at all.
But now it's different. Derby County was relegated and Notts County was promoted. These two teams, which were previously unbeatable, actually met together, and the topic naturally came up.
Notts County took the lead after the start of the new season, winning three consecutive victories and ranking first in the standings, showing their true colors; but the results of Derby County, a relegated team, are a bit underwhelming, with one win and two wins in the first three rounds. Ping, although ranked at the forefront of the standings, has a gap of 4 points with Notts County.
The most important thing is that after Derby County was relegated, a group of main players left the team, but they had no money to supplement them. They could only find a group of players from League One to supplement them, and their strength dropped significantly.
David still clearly remembered last season when Notts County invited Derby County to warm up, the other party’s harsh and disdainful face, and even proposed a 50 appearance fee. Since then, David has made up his mind in his heart, and he must do well when he has the opportunity Teach this arrogant team a lesson, completely destroy their arrogant mentality, and then severely peel off their self-esteem and step on their feet.
But he never thought that this day might come so early.
The memory of David's previous life vaguely told him that Derby County would not stay in the Premier League for a long time, but he did not expect that last season was the moment when they were relegated.
Hey!
David unconsciously rubbed his hands together.
Before the game, many media who paid attention to League One focused their attention on this focus battle. One side was the Premier League relegated team, and the other side was the big dark horse at the top of the standings. Moreover, the game was named Derby, which would really attract Many people's attention.
The reporters analyzed and predicted the result of the game from various angles, and through simulation calculations, it was found that the chance of Notts County winning the away game even exceeded 65%.
This can also be seen from the odds offered by many bookmakers for this game. Notts County’s odds of winning are only 1.61, while Derby County’s odds of winning at home have reached 5.35. A game of completely unequal strength.
Perhaps Derby County's only advantage is playing at home.
No way, Notts County's strength is visible to the naked eye. Although the opponents in the three games were not the top teams in the League One, Notts County won by a big score instead of struggling to get three points.
As for Derby County, their opponents were not as strong as Notts County in the three games, but they were tied for two games, and their strength has regressed significantly.
The media and fans flocked to Notts County, and Derby County was naturally unhappy.
Even though they are relegated now, they are a little bit down, and their results in the previous rounds are not stable, but they still maintain their status as the Premier League team last season and look down on the other League One clubs. Their only goal is to re-upgrade to the Premier League. In the Premier League, their opponents are only the other two relegated teams, not those small clubs that can only hang out in the League One.
Even a down-and-out aristocrat is still an aristocrat, and after all, he still has to be superior to others.
This is the poor mentality of Derby County.
But in David's opinion, what kind of nobleman are you?
Isn't it just that you have been in the Premier League for a few years, if you have no background, if you have no strength, you have the nerve to despise other teams?
Anyway, David had the impression in his previous life that he was only relegated from Derby County and never got promoted back.
"I don't understand why there are always so many people who don't understand football at all talking nonsense here!"
Facing the unfavorable public opinion situation, the chairman of Derby County, Gadsby, stood up and spoke nonsense.
"It is true that Notts County have won their first three games, while Derby County has two draws. But so what? There are 46 rounds in the league, and the real winner is the one who laughs last."
"Notts County are newly promoted, and they will definitely hold back their momentum. In addition, League One clubs don't know their style of play, so a few victories at the beginning does not show how strong they are."
"After a full season, although the summer vacation can allow the players to rest their bodies, it is difficult to reach their peak at the beginning, which is why Derby County failed to win all three games. In fact, it doesn't take long for this game to be the start of Derby County's resurgence, with Notts County only worthy of being a stepping stone, nothing more!"
"Derby County's goal this season is to upgrade. On the basis of absolute strength, Derby County will crush any opponent. I don't think the bad teams in League One can pose any threat to us. I am always waiting to win the championship and upgrade. that day."
David was not surprised by Gadsby's arrogant words. From the unpleasant contact last season, it can be seen that the other party is definitely not a normal person.
He was very unclear as to what confidence the other party had to make such bold words.
The strength of Notts County is obvious to all, relying on the word-of-mouth accumulated through tough battles, and Derby County is just a relegated team from the Premier League. After the strength drops, it may not be better than other League One teams. How much, let alone Notts County, I am afraid that other clubs will also regard you as a thorn in their side.
Aren't you making yourself uncomfortable!
Sure enough, before Notts County made any moves, other League One clubs had already begun to focus their firepower on Derby County.
I have seen arrogant ones, but I have never seen such arrogant ones.
You are treating all our League One teams as dung!
Good chant!
Since you say so, let us show you the power of dung.
See you at the game!
As a result, the various clubs began to line up, and Notts County naturally bore the brunt of the first place.
"Derby County didn't take us seriously from the beginning to the end. They invited them to warm up and die last season. They refused with contempt. Now that we meet at a level, they still don't take us seriously. They think We are ants, we can be easily trampled to death, so I want to know, what do you think of Derby County's arrogance?"
Before the game, during the tactical meeting, David, who was listening but rarely spoke, stood up unexpectedly, took the microphone, with a serious expression.
