Chapter 389： West Ham United

After returning to Notts County, Notts County players are undergoing restorative training, and the senior management and coaching staff are having an intense meeting to discuss whether to make the FA Cup one of the season's priorities.

Obviously, Notts County did not pay attention to the FA Cup at the beginning of the season. No matter the league or the League Cup, the importance is not comparable to the FA Cup, even if the FA Cup occupies a very important position in the hearts of traditional fans. But in the end, it can't hide the fact that this is a tasteless cup.

Perhaps this is a replica without fish!

Those who are qualified to participate in the Champions League may regard the Champions League as the primary event task, and those who do not have the Champions League will concentrate on playing the league. Only those middle-ranking teams that are not able to compete will regard the FA Cup as the most important honor that can be won.

The most important thing for Notts County this season is the league championship, followed by the UEFA Cup defending. No matter what other games, neither of them is important.

The League Cup has been consciously abandoned by Knotts County. As a place to train newcomers, it has achieved its purpose, and there will be no regrets.

If it is said that before Christmas, Notts County will have an idea to make a difference in the FA Cup. After all, the team has a certain advantage in the Premier League and the UEFA Cup has not yet started the battle, but with the arrival of the terror schedule , Most people have extinguished this thought.

No way, just playing two or three games a week will squeeze the players' bodies enough. Even if there is a rotation, it is difficult to keep the players' bodies at the best level. There are also occasions on international game days. The team added several new injuries.

Arsenal chased so tightly, and the UEFA Cup is about to rekindle the battle. At this time, whether it is worth investing energy in the FA Cup is very debatable.

And the most important point is that the opponent of this game is the Hammer Gang West Ham United, a notoriously sloppy ball rogue ~ rogue team, which is even more confusing.

There are several teams in England that are almost disgusting. West Ham United is one of them. Their style of playing is almost like playing rugby. If you don’t get two opponents in a game, it’s as if you didn’t play. Just like it.

The assistant coach just put West Ham United’s recent statistics on everyone. What you see is not the number of goals that the Hammer Gang ranked in the Premier League, how many goals have been scored, but how many players have been sent by West Ham recently. List of injuries.

"Forget it, don't let this bunch of **** get tough. The so-called barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Maybe we were barefoot once. We don't need to care too much, but now we can't. We still have to compete for the championship in the league. Fighting for the defending title in the UEFA Cup, if you are really hurt by the tribes of the tribes, your intestines will have to regret it!" David shuddered and took a deep breath, a little sullenly said.

Everyone else has the expression of a beeping dog. I don't know if I know it. It's really shocking to see it!

The above data is very clear. Although there is no concept of big data at this time, it is still the most convincing to speak based on data.

In the past five Premier League matches, West Ham United’s opponents, a total of 9 players were directly injured in the game, plus after the game due to various minor injuries, it was determined that the players who missed the next few games, West Ham United A total of 14 wounded and sick were created.

That is to say, in almost one game, West Ham United can make three players leave the field, and in the most game, West Ham United's opponents are taken down by five players, resulting in only 9 players in the final match, because There are not so many substitutions at all...

Everyone didn’t know what to say. Imagine that if Notts County was maimed 5 times in a game against West Ham United, what a terrible scene it would be.

Of course, West Ham United's brutal kicking is not unrestricted, but the English League itself pays attention to fierce confrontation, and the Premier League is the body flow kicking method. As one of the best, West Ham United does not care so much.

As an opponent in the Ligue 1 last season, in the two confrontations, Notts County did not seem to have taken much advantage, and it was an unavoidable game. If possible, David was reluctant to let the players face it. Those gangsters!

And now, at the critical moment of rushing through Notts County, there is really no need to compete with West Ham United. For the Hammer team, the best way is to sell them a good one, if the opponent knows gratitude If it does, then it will converge in the future game with Notts County, and Notts County will earn it.

Rather than fighting for West Ham United to fight a few for a tasteless game, but did not get much benefit, it is better to choose it properly and make a good relationship!

Notts County wants to be a top player in the Premier League, it is impossible to have a stalemate with all clubs. In the future, West Ham United will also be an important force in the Premier League. Even if you do not engage in alliances or the like, do not become a dead enemy!

After hearing David's words, everyone nodded, and Love was even more happy.

As the team coach, he actually does not want to fight hard with West Ham. The outstanding results of the two consecutive seasons have made him not much interested in the FA Cup. It is an optional honor. Everyone who pays is too big, he is definitely not willing to go all out.

Although he has no doubt about David's professionalism, he is worried that David is forced by the fans to demand the team to win all the honors This is the most terrible place.

The fans of Knotts County can be said to be scared. The honors they have received in the past more than a century are not as much as those in these two seasons. They are worried that the team will one day become the one that can only fight in the lower leagues. The unknown pawn, so taking advantage of the team's current strength to compete for the championship, it is best to get all the honors you can fight for.

But now that David has stated his position, Loew is completely relieved. This game will let the reserve team of lively little guys go to the joint battle with West Ham.

So on the day of the FA Cup, West Ham United Chairman and David sat in the box and saw Knotts County's lineup.

West Ham United’s football is barbaric, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t use their brains. If Notts County sends a main force or even a bench lineup, their strength is better than West Ham United, even if they get rid of Notts County. Several players will eventually lose their individual skin.

But now it is different. Notts County obviously gave up this game, otherwise it will not directly let the reserve team play, that is to say, this game West Ham United can easily advance to the next round of the FA Cup, and the pie The good thing is not easy to encounter! (To be continued.)
