King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 275: Lips, Guns, Tongues

As Notts County's opponent in the Community Shield, Manchester United's lineup has undergone considerable changes this summer. Among them, there are also some important transfers:

The goalkeeper Fabian Bartez went to Marseilles in Ligue 1, and David Beckham, the “heart-thinking”, felt humiliated when he faced Manchester United’s two-year contract extension with no salary increase. Floating away, Florentino’s Galaxy battleship Real Madrid cost him 37.5 million euros to take him away, but the successor to the England’s No. 7 jersey has been picked up by the boss of Notts County, Wei. . Veron also left Manchester United and turned to the London team Chelsea at a price of 21.5 million euros. Finally, he did not lose too much. And the Chinese player Dong Fangzhuo, whom Wei Xun cared most about, was finally loaned to Royal Antwerp. Hope This time, he shouldn't continue to be that hurt Zhongyong.

If someone goes, someone will come naturally:

Tim Howard was added to the goalkeeper position, yes, that's the American with a big beard. At the forward line, Manchester United brought in Louis Saha from Fulham, which cost 17.5 million euros; the midfielder also introduced Kleberson and Djemba, which cost a total of 13 million. Euros are very cost-effective.

The original main players, like Keane, the Neville brothers, Ferdinand, Bart, Scholes, Solskjaer, and Van Nistelrooy are still in the lineup, not to mention that this lineup is slightly younger and famous. Not too many players, they are really eye-popping: 23-year-old Wes Brown, 22-year-old O'Shea, 18-year-old Bazley, 19-year-old Fletcher, Diego Forlan, twenty-four years old.

The most important thing is that their leader, Sir Alex Ferguson, is still on the coaching bench with composure, leading his disciples to march forward through obstacles, as long as the red nosed old man sits on the bench, Manchester United’s Fans and players feel very at ease, this is their biggest reliance.

But this is really not good news for Notts County.

Recently, Notts County rented a Manchester City team’s training ground and started closed training. Guardiola confessed a lot of things. He defeated Manchester City and only used half of the main force. This is very important for Notts County to challenge Manchester United. Great possibility.

Several veterans of the team are also ready. They are ready to attack at any time. Although the pre-season warm-up has not played many games, their training and recovery have not been reduced.

The English Community Shield Cup is hosted by the Football Association of England. It is an annual championship between the champion of the English Premier League and the champion of the FA Cup. If the team wins the double championship (all the Premier League and FA Cup championships), the opposing team is changed to the Premier League runner-up. The football game is the opening game before the start of the season each year. It is traditionally held at Wembley Stadium. As Wembley Stadium is currently being rebuilt, the game will be held at Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

Notts County has been to this stadium many times. For the finals held here, Notts County has a lot of psychological advantage. This is their blessed place.

At the press conference before the game, Sir Ferguson answered some questions he didn't want to answer. After all, many people believed that Beckham's departure was mainly due to the relationship between the two. When talking about the upcoming Community Shield finals, the Jazz said a lot, welcoming fresh blood like Notts County to the Premier League and welcoming powerful challengers like them.

After all, it's just four words, I look down on you.

A strong challenger, which means that previous opponents are too weak. But Notts County is a new player in the Premier League. Isn't the strength much worse than those teams that have been in the Premier League for many years?

Giggs, who turned white at a young age, naturally couldn't say anything else. Anyway, he just followed the direction of his head coach and talked down. It was superb-sounding and nothing happened.

As for the Notts County side, Guardiola took Cristiano Ronaldo to the press conference. Wei also quietly took the credentials provided by "Fans" and entered the press conference hall, with wigs and fake beards. But Wei Xun didn't wear a cap and a mask. It's cold and you can block the wind. But in this press conference room, it's not cold or cold, and it's not a big winter, and it's not shameful. What do you do with that thing!

Seeing the contempt in Sir Ferguson's eyes, and seeing the grapes wearing the Notts County jersey, Wei Xun felt much more refreshed. He based his happiness on the pain of his opponents, which is his favorite. One of the things that happened, "Is it too late? Aren't you angry? Who will wear your number seven for next?"

"Manchester United is a great team, and Sir Ferguson has always been my idol. But as everyone knows, Notts County has never won the Community Shield before this. Therefore, our laurels for this event are Very eagerly, Manchester United is very strong, but we have also carried out targeted reinforcements in Notts County. We have defeated many Premier League teams, and being young is the best fighting power! Our chairman Wei Xun said that the newborn The calves are not afraid of tigers, we are ready!"

Guardiola's speech won rounds of applause, while Cristiano Ronaldo's speech was much simpler:

"In fact, Manchester United has been following me for a long time. They were indeed one of my favorite clubs before. They are among the top five giants in Europe, but I eventually joined the new Premier League team Notts County. So, for tonight’s game, please take a look at our actual actions in Notts County! We deserve this honor!"

The implication is that you paid attention to me, but you didn't do anything, and you didn't even have an offer. Although you are more famous than Notts County, people are more sincere than you.

The pre-match talk and talk has always been a highlight, but I did not expect that the pre-community shield cup press conference was so interesting, the two sides were insinuating whether it was so lively, and the journalists were all excited. This is the guarantee of their wages. Compared to the bland report, this is what they want to write the most!

Finally, the host of the press conference asked the coaches of the two teams that the Community Shield is charitable. Will the two teams conduct some charitable activities after winning the finals?

Notts County and Magpie Group, which have always liked to engage in charity, will not give you some surprises during the Community Shield finals. This is really a question.

The Spaniard said, how do I know this thing?

But he soon received a text message from Wei Xun, "I'm in the meeting room, I will answer this question..."

So, after Sir Ferguson eloquently talked about his plan, when it was Guardiola's turn, Guardiola pretended to be mysterious and said into the microphone:

"This question, let us, the chairman of the Notts County Club, personally answer it?"
