King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 25 League Premiere

The night that had just passed was a real torment for Wei Xun, and it was hard to suppress the throbbing of his heart after turning over and over all night. After waking up early to wash, Wei Xun's mental state was like fighting a toothache all night. He was in a state of nowhere and could only listen to the news broadcast in the office.

After taking a sip of lemonade, Wei Xun felt sour in his heart. I really didn’t expect that he finally seemed to be in a relationship. He had to be instructed by a teenage boy in the team to be more active. …

The most annoying thing was that Wei Xun returned to the apartment of the University of Nottingham last night with all his hardships. Just as the key was inserted and the door was about to be opened, he heard an indescribable sound from the room.

Wei Xun had to squat down and peeked through the crack in the door, and saw that the Charles brothers were browsing the love action movies on their desktop computers, making noises in their mouths and high-speed movements in their hands, but they were not idle anyway. Yes, the two brothers are doing errands. I'm really embarrassed to disturb them.

The bitter Wei Xun could only turn back from the University of Nottingham, and ran to the office of the Notts County base to sleep for a night. In his dream, Wei Xun yelled countless times, "You can't be like the two of them! Like the two of them! I don’t want five girls! I don’t want..."

This miserable cry also scared Zhao Tai who was sleeping in the office to wake up several times, and Wei Xun was also aroused by Wei Xun's longing for Zhao Tai who was not with his wife and children, and it was difficult to sleep.

After waiting for a month, Sky Sports finally opened odds for the promotion probability of each team in the English second division. Reading became the darling of the gambling public with an odds of 1.20. He is far ahead of other teams in the upgrade odds this season.

The two teams, Stoke and Bournemouth, form the second echelon for promotion, with odds of 2.1.

Notts County and Wigan Athletic are close behind, but they have become 3.5. On the other hand, Notts County's downgrade odds are 251. It seems that Notts County's transfer operation this summer still added a lot of points for itself. At least in the eyes of the bookmaker, Notts County is one of the strong contenders for promotion. As long as Notts County plays normally, there is no reason to miss the promotion at the end of the season. The worst can get a promotion play-off qualification.

But the goal of Wei Xun and the Notts County club is to directly upgrade, and it is best to win the League Two championship. Objectively speaking, Wei Xun's several big moves before the start of the game have won a lot of goodwill in front of the media and fans. The purification campaign he proposed to "remove violence and seek justice" is sweeping the entire British Isles. In the polls before the start of the game, English fans’ ratings for Notts County were not low. Although Wei Xun became a member of the FA and the referees, many fans opposed Notts County and Wei Xun. Black turned fans.

However, it should be noted that these off-court factors have little impact on athletics. Notts County’s competitors are not much worse than Notts County, and even stronger than Notts County in some aspects: Reading, Stoke reached the play-offs last season, but it was a pity that they fell short in the end; Brighton, Bournemouth, and Wigan all carried out large-scale reinforcements during the offseason, and they all called out this season. The slogan of upgrading, the strength should not be underestimated; Nottsshire’s city rival Mansfield brazenly shouted the slogan to win in the national league, and their coach is the predecessor of Nottsshire, Scott .

There’s nothing more stimulating the nerves of Mansfield’s fans than taking down the former coach Scott, who is so hated by his rival Notts County. What's more, Scott is cheap. If he doesn’t do it well, just fire him. At that time, all the pots that cannot be upgraded are left on his own body, why not do it?

In order to stimulate Notts County, Wei Xun never expected that Mansfield would take a guy like Scott back to be the head coach in order to stimulate Notts County. Amateur league, I still want to upgrade, it's a daydream..."

Wei Xun piously drew a cross for Mansfield on his chest, "God bless you downgraded, Amen...", even if he is benevolent.

A week before the start of the game, Notts County's new season jersey number has been determined, and the player's jersey number and makeup photos were published on the Notts County official website.

In accordance with Wei Xun’s request, Zhao Tai established two new departments, the Network Department and the Commercial Department, dedicated to online promotion and Notts County business development: their first project was to build the Notts County Official Fan Mall, from which players set makeup photos. Click on the player you like on the page to jump to his jersey and merchandise purchase page. In addition to the optional color of the jersey, you can also DIY your name and number, and design some user-specific logos and slogans. If it is not convenient to come Received at Meadow Lane Stadium, Notts County officials will also provide free delivery services for users who place orders. Suddenly, the sales of Notts County players’ jerseys soared.

Although this amount of money is not enough for Wei Xun to buy a little demon, it is at least a manifestation of the appeal of the club's players.

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Reina, No. 18 Ben Foster, No. 22 Sasha, No. 32 Byron Davis. The four goalkeepers, the old and the young, are really big heads. Sasha and Colin led the three noisy lads and became an interesting sight on the Notts County training ground.

Defensive line: No. 2 Aveiroa, No. 3 Chiellini, No. 4 Lichsteiner, No. 5 Mertesacker, No. 6 Barzagli, No. 16 Felipe Lahm, No. 31 Morris Taylor. Just pull out a few, they are all shining stars.

Compared with the starlight of the back line, the midfield position is more shiny: No. 7 Robben, No. 8 Motta, No. 9 Hubner, No. 10 Sneijder, No. 11 Ribéry, No. 13 No. Kuyt, No. 14 Guardiola, No. 15 George Grant, No. 17 Iniesta, No. 19 Klose, No. 20 Van Persie, No. 21 Cornell, No. 22 Alonso.

The number 12 jersey is a number exclusively for Notts County fans and will no longer be used by active players in the future. The number 99 jersey is reserved for the club’s honorary chairman Derek Pavis, symbolizing that he is Notts County. The club’s contribution is long-lasting.

On August 11, 2001, Notts County's first League B league game in the new season finally officially started at Meadow Lane Stadium. After all the calls came out, the lads of Notts County had long been unable to restrain themselves, but Notts County's opponent was the opponent that Guardiola and Wei Xun didn't want to meet very much-the Port Vail team.

As a "weak team", Notts County, who had a thrilling relegation last season, will play some strong teams in the first game of the new season. This is an invisible benefit for strong teams in the league rules, and it is also a "weak team". A hurdle that must be faced.

After the summer's substantial signings, Notts County is no longer a slaughter of fish belly troops. If you want to eat this piece of fat in Notts County, it depends on whether Port Vail has a good mouth.

The team's season ticket sales are currently very satisfactory. More than 9,000 season tickets have been sold. According to the data from the Zhao Tai newspaper, this is the best result of Notts County in 12 years. Many Derby County fans have also been attracted by Wei Xun and bought season tickets for Notts County. After all, Nottingham and Derby The county is too close, the price of tickets for the English second division is cheap, and there are even greater discounts for buying season tickets, which is much more cost-effective than buying a single game.

Some of the fans who have checked in to the stadium have already sat down, and some are still looking for their seats in the stadium. Many University of Nottingham students became fans of Notts County because of the acquisition of Notts County by Wei Xun, a member of the school team, and You Rongyan. I heard that a student fan club has recently been established in the University of Nottingham, and this time 120 tickets have been taken from the Nottingham club. Many young couples may have come to watch the game for the first time, and they are a little embarrassed.

The fans of the official fan club, under the leadership of the president David, took their seats in the "Pavis" stand early and made preparations in an orderly manner: hanging the flags of the club and the fan club, small stereos, and sneaking in. Big speakers.

Due to security requirements, the number of tickets on sale is limited. Some fans who have not purchased tickets are still bargaining with the scalpers, and some have no hope of entering the stadium, and are ready to go home to listen to the radio or watch TV.

There are less than 20,000 seats in the stadium. At a glance, there are no empty seats. The staff are doing the final sprint under the leadership of their respective supervisors. On every fan seat, there is a fan version prepared by the Notts County Club for everyone. Jerseys, club scarves and cheering sticks for cheering.

Unlike the later Chinese Super League clubs selling Coke, Sprite and other drinks on the stadium, Notts County has set up a drinking water collection platform at the exit of each stand. Fans who need drinking water can go and get it by themselves, if there are other needs. You can contact the staff at the drinking water station.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Meadow Lane Stadium was clear, and the breeze on the Trent River was blowing in. It was really cool.

Since his "potential girlfriend" Huang Yingying will be sitting very close to the Notts County coaching bench to watch the game, Wei Xun is sitting on the Notts County coaching bench in a formal suit today.

The coach seat next to Wei Xun has only Guardiola's credentials. In today's first game, Guardiola will start to lead the team's lads to meet new challenges and embark on a legendary journey.

Rushing to a new team, a new country, a new teammate, a new coach, and a new set of tactics for the game. All of the above will take some time for the young people on the team. adapt.

The feelings of the training field and the competition field are completely different. When Wei Xun himself touched the ball for the first time, his mind was blank. He didn't know what to do, and his movements were much slower. With the cheering and cheering of tens of thousands of fans at the scene, God knows what kind of psychological reaction the gang of boys under his command will have.

After discussing with Wei Xun, Guardiola chose the starting field. He wanted to experience the atmosphere and style of English football firsthand. Not only could he see the players' performance more intuitively, but he could also objectively improve his tactical planning. , In order to defeat the enemy in future games.
