Chapter 707： Trent Cup

The warm-up tournament has an official name this time-the Trent Cup.

The Trent River is the river that flows through Nottinghamshire, separating the main city square of Nottingham Forest from the Meadow Lane Stadium, the former home of Nottsshire.

The square jointly prepared by Notts County and Nottingham County Government is named after this. Now, it is exactly right that this cup does not need to be given another name.

According to everyone's consultation, this time the six teams in the cup were divided into two groups by lottery. The three teams in the group played a single round of competition and were ranked one, two, three. After the group game, between the top two teams In the finals to compete for the championship and runner-up, between the second team of the two teams for the three or four finals, and the third team of the same two teams also have a contest to decide the ranking, so that each team Being able to play three games, which lasts exactly two weeks, this system is very suitable for several clubs.

Notts County is divided into one group with Pavillion and Inter, and the other three teams are divided into another group.

In the battle with Pavillion, Knotts County did not face the younger brother. Although it is far from reaching the state of the season, he still defeated his opponent by 3:0. Now Pavillion's strength is roughly comparable to that of the Premier League. The midstream teams are comparable, and this score directly reflects the gap between the two sides.

In the next match with Inter Milan, the two sides played very openly, scoring one goal after another, but in the end they were tied. Inter Milan focused on strengthening the midfield and the defensive line, and its strength finally leaped forward. It has reached the level of a top strong team. Even if Vieri runs away on the striker line, it is difficult to stop Adriano in his peak state. Now the goal of Inter Milan this season will never be just to win the Champions League. They are going to The long-lost league champions have launched a shock.

In the end, Notts County still won the first place in the group, because in the duel between Inter Milan and Pavillon, Pavillion’s younger brothers caused a lot of trouble for Inter Milan, although Inter Milan finally won , But the final goal difference is less than Knotts County.

In another group, Bayern Munich had a big trouble in front of Boavista. If it wasn’t Klose’s last goal to score Boavista, I am afraid Bayern will not even get the first place in the group. In the end, the Bundesliga giants did their best to reach the final as the group.

Obviously, the tenacious performances of Pavillon and Boavista were not expected by Bayern and Inter. Although these two teams are the Champions League teams in the new season, in the eyes of the two giants, they are just playing Soy sauce, the strength is very limited, but after several battles, Bayern and Inter have to admit that they underestimated the strength of these two teams, if they are in the Champions League group stage, they are very likely to give the first It’s troublesome for the team to create a team, even if the group appears, it’s not impossible!

If you add two more teams, then these two groups are actually no different from the UEFA Champions League group stage.

This kind of warm-up match has a very high gold content, which is far more exercise value than they can find a few teams in the country to play warm-up matches. They are very happy to have accepted the invitation for this warm-up match.

In the three or four finals, Inter Milan suffered a big loss in Boavista. The unpretentious style of the Portuguese Super Championship made Inter Milan very uncomfortable. If it is not Ade that continues to break out, I am afraid that Inter Milan can even qualify for a penalty kick. No, but Rao is so. Inter has lost to Boavista in the penalty shootout. After losing the penalty master Toldo, Inter has become a weakness in the penalty link.

After the game, Moratti even joked with David: "Can I regret it, and don't lend Toldo to you!"

In the finals, the two teams that fought in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals last season fought once again. The two sides played out in the first half of the game. There is still a slight advantage. The 3:2 score in the first half also illustrates this point well.

However, when the two sides agreed to replace the substitute lineup in the second half, Bayern could not compete with Notts County. It is important to know that Ronaldinho Ronaldo, who has not yet entered the main lineup, matches Messi. There was no way to defend the two evildoers, and eventually Bayern's rotation was defeated.

After the game, Magath's face was obviously not good-looking. There was no way. Even if it was an insignificant warm-up before the season, he could not lose such a complete body. of.

Compared to other top giants, Bayern has an unparalleled innate advantage, the Bundesliga has a short schedule, and Bayern’s dominance in the Bundesliga Most of the time, it does not need to expend too much energy, Bayern can completely More attention is focused on the Champions League, something that other giants cannot.

And before the start of the season, Bayern were defeated at the feet of their biggest competitors.

Damn, the strength of Notts County is so strong, even Bayern may not be able to guarantee victory even in the face of the bench lineup of Notts County. This lineup depth is simply unprecedented, and it is estimated that the comers are gone.

Magath has already foreseen that if Bayern meets Notts County in the Champions League this season, I am afraid they will not escape the fate of being eliminated.

No way, the gap between the two teams can be reflected from the player configuration. The value of the starting lineup of Knotts County is much higher than the combined value of all players of the first team of Bayern. This comparison is not like two teams of the same grade. Team.

Magath also watched several Inter Milan games, and made him feel deeply chilled, because the strength Inter Milan showed shocked him. It seems that after going back, he must have a deep talk with the Big Three. Although Bayern can still dominate the Bundesliga, it seems to have fallen behind in Europe. The only thing they can do is their fighting will. However, in the face of the gap in strength, the tenacious fighting will not necessarily make up for everything.

Bayern need to improve the lineup grade!

For Notts County, these warm-up games are also very important. Only by playing with strong teams can we find our own weaknesses and improve them. In the pursuit of perfection, Notts County still needs to do a lot.

In the position ball defense, in the high-altitude ball defense, the Knotts County defense still has loopholes. Of course, no team can be perfect, but it must have a heart for perfection.
