Chapter 758 Finals
After Notts County landed in Japan, they only had a one-night rest before devoting themselves to training. They didn't even have time to overcome the jet lag. There was no way, the schedule was so tight.
In the first knockout round that night, the Asian champion Ittihad defeated the African champion Al Ahli, and the Central and North American champion Costa Rican club Saprissa defeated the Oceanian champion Sydney FC.
In this way, the semi-final match is also released, Etihad will challenge Sao Paulo, Saprissa will challenge Notts County, and the winner of the next two games will be in the final.
Notts County is not familiar with Saprissa, a Central and North American club at all, but judging from the opponent's first game, the strength is the most in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. It is difficult to pose any threat to Notts County, so half Even if Notts County sends more young people to train the team in the final game, it will not be a problem.
Even if the Toyota Cup has become the Club World Cup, Notts County's real opponent is only the South American team Sao Paulo. important factors, but it also shows that Sao Paulo's strength is not bad.
If it wasn't for the seven championships, then Notts County might not pay attention to this tasteless event, but now, I'm sorry, Notts County has won the championship!
Of course, there is another factor involved. When David and the Big Three of Bayern were inspecting South American clubs, they were treated as fools and fooled for a long time. To have fun.
On the evening of December 12th, the semi-finals of Notts County officially started. Because Notts County has a very high popularity in Japan, the stands of the game were full, and the fans were enthusiastic. They even felt that they were not inferior to the Magpie Stadium. atmosphere.
However, Notts County did not send too many main players in this game. Only captain Alonso and goalkeeper Joe Hart started the game. For young players, this kind of game is the most suitable for them to exercise.
Even if Notts County sent such a lineup, Saprissa is still not Notts County’s opponent. Amidst waves of cheers from Japanese fans, Notts County scored two goals in the first half. Emotionally, Loew replaced several main players one after another, and the overall situation of the game was decided.
The game was won cleanly, although to a certain extent the fans and the media were a little disappointed by not having all the main players, but they also understand Notts County's approach. After all, Notts County's schedule has been horrific to the extreme.
What's more, in a game of this level, all the main players of Notts County will be off the field. Isn't it a bit too respectful of the opponent?
The final contest with St. Paul is the real focus. I believe that Notts County will show its real strength at that time.
The club is actively preparing for the game, and David and Soriano are not idle. The attention that Notts County has received in Japan this time is unmatched. Japanese companies have also seen the real influence and appeal of Notts County in Japan. , Even better than the top giants such as Manchester United and Real Madrid, it can't help but move their minds. In a few days, several large international companies have begun to contact Notts County to discuss cooperation and sponsorship.
Business development has always been the top priority in the team's development. On the basis of performance improvement, business development must also be able to keep up. This is David's constant cognition.
Although the success of these two seasons has allowed Notts County to make significant progress in business development, it is still a bit worse than a business empire like Manchester United. At least Manchester United has more than 30 sponsors, which makes Notts County difficult to catch up. .
Notts County is now aiming at Manchester United and Real Madrid, reaching the same level within two years, and fully catching up within four years. This is the goal of Notts County.
On September 9, the final of the current Club World Cup officially started. Notts County faced the South American Libertadores Cup champion Sao Paulo. This battle attracted the attention of fans all over the world. World Cup meaning.
In the 80s and 90s, South American football was stronger than European football. The clues can be seen from the confrontation in the Toyota Cup. At that time, European teams had more losses than wins.
Sao Paulo, a traditional giant, has won the Toyota Cup twice, and its background is much deeper than that of Notts County.
However, the strong performance of the emerging giants of Notts County in recent seasons has made them almost invincible in Europe. They are recognized as the strongest club in Europe. If they can beat Sao Paulo, then this title can become the strongest club in the world!
On the day of the game, the stadium entered a strong atmosphere early. Notts County’s jerseys sold very well in Japan, and the fan base was far stronger than that of Sao Paulo. It can be seen from the distribution of fans in the stands. Notts County fans in black and white striped shirts, as for Sao Paulo fans, there may be, but there are really few, and the stadium has once again become a Notts County stadium.
In order to thank the Japanese fans, the Notts County players came to the sidelines to interact with the fans before warming up. Although there was no substantive contact, it still aroused greater enthusiasm from the fans.
At the beginning of the game, Notts County, who played half as the main force and half as a substitute, used the best suppressing tactics to press Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo's South American football style is rich and the rhythm is slow. It's hard to hold the ball.
High pressure in the frontcourt to catch the loopholes in the transition between offense and defense. This time-tested trick is still very effective on Sao Paulo. The South American team is completely unable to compare with European teams in terms of tactical discipline. Facing the strong overall tactics of Notts County, Sao Paulo is in a comprehensive situation. downwind.
Not long after the start of the game, Drogba opened the scoring for Notts County. Not long after, Ribery cut in and scored, Notts County easily took a two-goal lead.
The Sao Paulo players felt a little stunned. It's not that they haven't played against European teams, but the rapid change of rhythm in Notts County makes them powerless to fight back.
Loew did not send Kaka to play in this game. After all, it is his home team. Kaka will definitely have deep feelings for Sao Paulo. In his opinion, this game is likely to be a massacre. In order to avoid affecting Kaka With Ka's mentality, Loew put him on the bench.
Now that the game has progressed, Kaka is really at a loss sitting on the bench. In his impression, Sao Paulo is not so fragile. How can he be so vulnerable like today!
But even if he can see it off the field, Notts County has an absolute advantage, and he can catch Sao Paulo's loopholes accurately. The two teams are not at the same level at all!
This is a frustrating fact!
