Chapter 154: Rival Derbyshire
After more than a week of rest, the League One has reopened, and the fighting has become more and more intense.
The focus of this round of the battle is none other than Notts County and Derby County.
Because Nottinghamshire and Derby County belong to the East Midlands, in fact, the game between Notts County and Derby County can also be called the East Midlands Derby.
However, because there is a lot of gap between the levels before the two, no one is hyping this concept at all.
But it's different now. Derby County was relegated and Notts County was promoted. These two teams, who were unable to compete in the past, actually met, and the topic came naturally.
After the start of the new season, Notts County has won the first place in the standings and won three consecutive victories. Even though they are at the top of the table, they are already 4 points behind Notts County.
The most important thing is that after Derby County was relegated, the main players in the team left, but they had no money to make up for it. They had to find a group of players from League One to add in, and their strength dropped significantly.
David still clearly remembers the vileness and disdain of Notts County when they invited Derby County to warm up last season, and even offered a 50w appearance fee. Since then, David has made up his mind in his heart to do it well when he has a chance. Teach this arrogant team a lesson, completely destroy their arrogant mentality, and then smash their self-esteem under their feet.
But he never thought that this day might come so early.
The memories of David's previous life vaguely told him that Derby County would not stay in the Premier League for long, but he did not expect that last season was the moment when they were relegated.
hey-hey!
David rubbed his hands involuntarily.
Before the game, many media concerned about the League One focused their attention on this focal battle. One side was the Premier League relegated team, and the other side was the dark horse at the top of the standings, and the game was dubbed the Derby, which would really attract attention. Many people's attention.
The reporters analyzed and predicted the outcome of the game from various angles, and through simulation calculations, it was found that the probability of Notts County winning on the road was even more than 65%.
This can also be seen from the odds offered by many bookmakers for this game. Notts County's odds of winning the game are only 1.61, while the home game's Derby County's winning odds have reached 5.35, which is obviously a game. Completely unequal competition.
Perhaps the only advantage Derby County has is the home game.
No way, the strength of Notts County is visible to the naked eye. Although the opponents in the three games were not the top teams in League One, Notts County won by big scores, rather than difficult to obtain three points.
As for Derby County, the opponents in the three games were not as strong as Notts County, but they were drawn in two games, and their strength has declined significantly.
The media and fans swarmed optimistic about Notts County, and Derby County was naturally unhappy.
Even if they are relegated now, they are a little down, and the results in the first few rounds are not stable, but they still hold the identity of the Premier League team last season and look down on the other League One clubs. Their goal is only one, and that is to be promoted back to In the Premier League, their opponents are only the other two relegated teams, not the small clubs that can only hang out in League One.
Even if it is a poor noble, that is also a noble, and after all, it is still superior to others.
This is the sour mentality of Derby County.
But in David's view, what kind of aristocrat are you?
Don't you just have been in the Premier League for a few years, if you don't have the background, you don't have the strength, you are too embarrassed to despise other teams?
Anyway, David has an impression in his previous life, only after being relegated from Derby County, he has never been promoted back...
"I don't understand why there are so many people who don't know football at all just talking nonsense here!"
Derby County chairman Gadsby faces an unfavorable public opinion situation,
Dissatisfied, the station made nonsense.
"It is true that Notts County won all three of their opening games, while Derby County had two draws. But so what? There are 46 rounds in the league, and the one who has the last laugh is the real winner."
"Notts County is a newly-promoted team, and they will definitely be holding on to their momentum, plus the League One clubs don't know their style of play, so a few wins in the early stages doesn't show how strong they are."
"After a full season, although the summer break allows the players to rest their bodies, it is difficult to reach their peak form at the beginning, which is why Derby County has not been able to win all three games. The reason why, In fact, don't expect this game to be the start of a recovery for Derby County, and Notts County deserves to be a stepping stone, nothing more!"
"The goal of Derby County 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 remarks, which could be seen from the unpleasant contact last season, the other party is definitely not a normal person.
He didn't know exactly what the other party had the confidence to release such a rhetoric.
Notts County's strength is obvious to all. It is a reputation built on hard battles, and Derby County is just a relegated team from the Premier League. How much, let alone Notts County, I'm afraid other clubs will also see you as a thorn in the side.
Aren't you feeling uncomfortable!
Sure enough, Notts County has not done anything yet, and other League One clubs have already begun to focus their firepower on Derby County.
I have seen arrogant, but I have never seen such arrogance.
You are treating all our League One teams as shit!
Good!
Now that you say that, let's show you the power of dirt.
See you at the game!
As a result, clubs began to line up, and Notts County naturally bore the brunt of it.
"Derby County never took us seriously, last season they invited them to warm up to death, they rejected it with contempt, and now we meet at the same level, they still haven't taken us seriously, they think We are ants and can easily be trampled to death, so I want to know, what do you think of Derbyshire's arrogance?"
Before the game, during the tactical meeting, David, who was on the sidelines but rarely spoke, stood up unexpectedly and took the microphone with a serious expression.
