Chapter 592： Keep trophies forever

In fact, Loew's adjustment seems a bit redundant, because even if Drogba does not play, Real Madrid is difficult to form a repressive attack on Notts County.

Think about it. Whether true core players such as Zidane or Figo have reached the end of their careers, maybe they have no problems running the first half of the game, running for 60 minutes, running for 70 minutes, and No problem, but if they keep their physical fitness throughout the game, it is a bit difficult for the strongman.

I can definitely run, but the speed has dropped a lot, and the explosive force has also dropped a lot. In the case of insufficient physical fitness, the completion of various technical actions is also difficult to reach the peak period standards. In this way, Real Madrid’s offensive power has been Less than half of usual!

The situation is always relative, Real Madrid is weak, then Knotts County's chances are strong, first counterattacks frequently threatened Real Madrid's defense, then slowly changed to midfield suppression, and finally fully mastered the initiative, forcing Real Madrid to have to retreat .

Since then, the results have not changed. Even if Lusenborg dispatched his soldiers to replace Irving with the intention to fight back, but without the support of the midfield, Irving went to fight the overall defense of Knotts County. Really when Irving was Superman?

At the last moment, Notts County did not deliberately launch an offensive. There is no essential difference between a victory and a draw. Just give Real Madrid a face at home!

In the end, Notts County tied with Real Madrid in the away game, heading into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a total score of 3:1 in two rounds, continuing the miracle of the new Champions League.

Although it seemed a bit high-profile to celebrate promotion in the Bernabeu, the players who could not hide their joys did not care about these, and the superstars of Real Madrid looked at the joyous Notts players, the bitter taste came to their hearts, they just wanted to find a quiet place , Swallow bitter bit by bit, and use time to heal the wounds of the soul.

An important step was taken towards the final champion. David was very excited. It seemed that the Big Ear Cup was dancing to his big ears in front of his eyes, more than the most beautiful girl in the world. Alluring...

In fact, David has always had an ambition. He hasn't told anyone, including Lough, who doesn't know.

This ambition is to keep the authentic Big Ear Cup forever in Notts County!

In fact, there are two styles of trophy in the history of the Champions League, one is the earliest and the other is the big ear trophy that fans are familiar with today.

There were only four teams holding the original old-style Champions League trophy, Real Madrid 6 times, Benfica 2 times, AC Milan 1 time and Inter Milan 2 times;

After Real Madrid won the Champions League for the sixth time, the old Champions League authentic trophy was permanently awarded to the Real Madrid team in recognition of their glorious achievements in the original Champions League. The Real Madrid team also became the first The team that has the right to save the Champions League authentic trophy.

The old trophy was permanently preserved by Real Madrid, and a new trophy must be created. UEFA commissioned a Swiss jeweler at that time to spend 10w Swiss francs to create a sterling silver trophy, weighing 8 kg and 74 cm high, this It is the Champions League big ear trophy that we are familiar with now.

And UEFA also decided that even if a new trophy is created in the future, it will still be the same as this big ear style.

In the 68-69 season, UEFA also made a new rule. If a team wins the Champions League five times or wins three consecutive championships, then this team can permanently save the authentic trophy. After UEFA A new authentic big ear trophy will be created and continue to be used. Of course, the shape and size of the new trophy will not change, but just a new big ear trophy.

Once a team meets this requirement, the club will have the right to permanently retain the authentic trophy. At the same time, their record of the number of championships will be "cleared" and enter the next counting cycle, which means that they can continue to save the authentic trophy in the future. opportunity.

Since then, 4 teams have won the honour of permanent preservation of the Big Ears authentic trophy.

Ajax 71, 72, 73 three consecutive championships

Bayern Munich 74, 75, 76 three consecutive championships

Milan won the championship for the fifth time in 1994

Liverpool won the championship for the fifth time in 2005

Although Real Madrid also keeps the authentic trophy, it is an old-style trophy. The Spanish giants have not won the glory of saving the authentic big ear trophy.

Perhaps one day in the future, Notts County will be able to reach the summit three times in a row, or won the championship five times, so that the authenticity of the Big Ear Cup will always be kept in the honor showroom of the Notts County Club.

However, David feels that time is urgent, because he knows that the previous UEFA changed the rules in 2009, and the UEFA Champions League trophy will be permanently saved by UEFA, even if another team wins three consecutive championships, or five times. Winning the championship is also not eligible to permanently retain the authentic trophy of the Big Ear Cup.

There is only the last six seasons left for this reform. For Knotts County, whether it is to win three consecutive championships or five championships in total, it is not an easy task to complete. Otherwise, only five teams in history will be able to retain the Champions League trophy permanently, oh no, there are only four now, because Liverpool’s fifth Champions League is still unreported!

Not to mention the three consecutive championships, when David came back from his previous life, no team has been able to complete the miracle of defending after the Champions League restructuring. In the future football world of oligarchy, defending is really already considered to be A miracle!

Maybe some people think that David should be down-to-earth. Don’t be so tall. He doesn’t even have a Champions League trophy. He still wants to keep the authentic trophy forever. But for David this is his ambition. In other words, if there is no dream, what is the difference with salted fish.

In the previous life, because of the small goal theory of a big brother, many people liked this ideal way of moving forward, and first set a small goal.

So now, David has to break down his goals!

The ultimate goal: to make Knotts County a real giant, standing at the pinnacle of world football for a long time.

Staged goal: Champions League three consecutive championships, permanent retention of big ear cups.

In this way, it seems that winning the Champions League is already a small goal...

If you let others know that David's first goal is to win the Champions League, I am afraid that the saliva can drown him!

Whether he is arrogant or not, David will not care about other people's views. He only needs to take Knotts County step by step towards his goal.

When one day they really stood on the highest peak and looked at different scenery, perhaps, others would only have to look up! (To be continued.)
