Chapter 598 The Farmer and the Snake

? When the outside world was enthusiastic about the draw for the Champions League, the Notts County players also ended their two-day vacation and returned to the team for training to prepare for the upcoming final sprint.

Every Notts County player who came to the training base was attacked by the reporters' guns and short guns. They asked what they thought about the result of the draw. If there is no response from the Notts County players, then all the hype is just shaving. A hot head.

Maybe it was because the players were in a good mood because they were in the top 8, or maybe it was the two-day vacation that relieved the players' tired mind and body. Facing the reporters' questions, the Notts County players seemed very patient.

"Juventus is a top European team. To be able to play against such a giant team will make our hearts boil. I believe we will be able to defeat our opponents. Our goal is to win the championship!"

"Perhaps you should ask the Juventus stars how they feel. For us, we don't care who the opponent is. Even if Juventus is strong, it is not the reason why they can stop us from moving forward!"

"I don't think there is anything tricky about the lottery. It's a matter of probability theory. Anyone can win the lottery, and I think it's our opponents who are more flustered!"

......

When answering questions, the players all looked high-spirited and full of confidence. Their achievements in the past two seasons have given them the confidence to look at any giant team, and most of them are in line with each other. Juventus have played against each other in the warm-up match, and they still have a certain understanding of the strength of the old woman. Notts County's play style is really restrained by Juventus.

The reporters got satisfactory answers, and after they went back, they processed and processed them, and each and every splendid article was freshly released.

"Notts County defies Juventus!"

"Magpies are arrogant to win the championship!"

"Alonso: It's the opponent who should be afraid!"

......

The articles described Notts County as a very happy image, everyone looked down on Juventus as an opponent, and it seemed that the victory was coming.

When these articles reached Italian journalists, Italians were outraged.

The strength of Serie A this season has been very obvious. The top three in the north of Serie A have collectively entered the quarter-finals. This is a grand occasion that has not happened in many seasons. The Milan duo is in the first half and Juventus is in the second half. Looking forward to the two Serie A teams meeting in the finals to reproduce the glory of the 2002-03 season!

In Italian media,

Especially in the eyes of the Turin media, Notts County is still just a strong team with no background, like a rootless duckweed. Maybe with the support of funds, there will be a few seasons of good results, but this kind of outstanding performance. It simply won't last long, and it will soon slide off like a shooting star.

You must know that such examples are not uncommon. In Italian football, Parma is the closest. Last season, Parma was able to qualify for the UEFA Cup, but this season has been deep in the relegation zone and cannot extricate itself. Parma can still There is a certain wealthy heritage!

In England, there is also such a team. A few seasons ago, the youth guards White Rose Leeds United, once broke into the Champions League semi-finals, but now, aren't they still sinking in the British Championship!

Don't look at Notts County now has the funds to guarantee, and the results are good, but they will never be able to get on the table. In such an important event as the Champions League, the heritage of the giants and the genes of the Champions League can often determine who is the winner. Notts County is a Champions League team. The fact that the new army can break into the quarter-finals has already been accumulated by the ancestors.

For the Turin media, Notts County's statement is more like the role of the snake in the story of the farmer and the snake.

Although Notts County and Juventus have a long-standing and traditional friendship, Juventus' jerseys are all homologous to Notts County's jerseys, but it does not mean that Juventus has to ask for Notts County.

At the beginning of the rise of Notts County, when not even a real warm-up opponent could be found, it was Juventus who condescended to play a warm-up match with Notts County in consideration of traditional friendship, which is already a very heavy favor.

After Notts County gradually moved to a higher level, it seemed to be a little ungrateful, forgetting the traditional friendship between the two teams, otherwise how could they say such arrogant words and ignore Juventus at all Woolen cloth?

The Italian media kept writing articles to refute Notts County, and Italian fans were also led by public opinion to share their hatred. .

Del Piero: I think this draw is very good. All the top eight teams hope to draw a belly opponent, and I am very fortunate that we Juventus have drawn the weakest one.

Nedved: No matter how good you say it, it is better to play a good game. Juventus will try their best to win this game and restore the glory of the giants.

Trezeguet: My feet and the top of my head are already hungry. I want to score a goal to destroy the weak defense of Notts County and let them know what a real top giant is.

......

With the help of the media, the two teams seem to be fighting a war of words in the air, but in fact, Notts County is calm, and they are used to dealing with the media. They know that this is probably because the media has increased countless numbers. The result after the double, and they don't have the heart to pay attention to Juventus now. Before the first-leg match with Juventus, Notts County still has two league games to play. Can you care?

On March 19, Notts County will host Newcastle in poor condition after a week off;

And after this game, there is an international game day.

On April 3, the players returning from the national team will regroup to play Fulham away;

On April 6, that is, three days later, it will be the first round of the Champions League with Juventus. Notts County will be at home to usher in the challenge of the Serie A giants;

On the following April 9, another league followed, Notts County played Charlton hard at home;

After that, on April 14, Notts County will move to Turin to compete with Juventus in the second round of the Champions League.

The schedule can be considered close, but compared with the previous Devil's schedule, except for Juventus, the rest of the opponents are not very strong. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to pose a particularly big threat to Notts County, so complaining is complaining, but more than before. Much better.

Even with the rotation, Notts County can be more handy, the main game against Newcastle, followed by the international break. Most of the players in Notts County's rotation have not been called up by the national team, and they will naturally have them in the next game against Fulham. At home, and at the same time, the main players can also save their energy to prepare for Juventus... (To be continued.)
