King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 390 is a mule or a horse?

Although he failed to win the opponent, a draw not only gave Notts County a valuable away goal, but also allowed Guardiola to thoroughly understand the reality of PSV.

Rising star Afelay, who played poorly in this game, should have no chance to appear in the second round of the semi-finals. His performance today was catastrophic.

Not only wasted a lot of great opportunities, but even the small team composed of two South Korean players was also paralyzed. The two South Koreans who could not run to death were completely unable to exert their offensive ability.

…

In season 2003, the 33rd round of the Premier League, Notts County played against the Bolton Wanderers at home. There were only 16,000 fans watching the match. In the case of a big rotation in Notts County, it has been It's really rare.

The main force fought a fierce battle in the Netherlands. This league needs a full rest. Benjamin Foster, Fabio Grosso, Chiellini, Mertesacker and Barzagli barely made up the defense.

Montolivo, George Grant and Yaya Touré partnered in the midfield, and the two new aids Malouda and Valbuena played together as the main assault force on the left and right wing. The forward line was the Italian veteran. Dario Hubner.

Notts County's bench depth allows them to arrange a practically strong lineup even when the first team has a big rest.

In the sixth minute of the first half of the game, Montolivo and Dario Hubner completed a connection, and the latter put through the opponent's gate near the penalty point.

The excitement of more than 10,000 Notts County fans did not last long.

Less than ten minutes into the second half, the Bolton, who had been in a weak position, used two penalty kicks to achieve a reversal at the Meadow Lane Stadium.

Even if the fans in the Meadow Lane Stadium made a boo, it did not change the fact that Notts County was behind.

The boys of Notts County attacked Bolton's goal in the remaining 40 minutes, but Bolton's goalkeeper and goal coldly blocked the counterattack of Notts County.

At the final whistle, the Magpies lost the Bolton Wanderers with a goal at home, giving Bolton aspiring to relegation the long-lost warmth, and also made the Leeds United fans who have fallen on the edge of the cliff tickled with hatred.

The Leeds media's so-called Notts County selling point theory came out again, but the remarks became popular for a day, and they were attracted by an explosive news.

"Chelsea has bought a striker again!"

"Russian oligarchs have made another move, changing from throwing money to scratching the lottery ticket. It is the mule or the horse, and it is pulled out!"

"Cheap forwards join the Blues, and Stamford Bridge welcomes powerful strikers!"

…

The overwhelming news is reporting that Chelsea has signed PSV’s striker Kežman for 8 million euros. This former Yugoslav forward who can score 20 goals for PSV in every season has become Another striker for the Blues.

"Yes, really let this Russia recognize it!"

At this time, Wei Xun couldn't help but admired. Abramovich's work efficiency was really high. After three or two days, he really took Kežman.

The former Yugoslav forward also followed in the footsteps of Van Nistelrooy, Romario and Ronaldo and joined the five major league teams.

Coach Ranieri started to have a headache. During the crucial stage of the team's preparations for the UEFA Champions League, the boss bought a new striker. How could Crespo and others in the team not panic?

At the same time, Eindhoven coach Hiddink is also very dissatisfied with the team's management. At such a moment, is the team hopeless to advance to the UEFA Cup semi-finals?

At this time, I sold off the main players in the team, and had no intention of killing chickens to get eggs. The Eindhoven team began to shake, Van Bommel also moved his transfer mind. It is said that Barcelona, ​​Milan and other teams want to win Eindhoven’s The core of the midfield.

"These short-sighted guys! Eight million gave away my main striker, and sold it. Can't I postpone the official announcement for a while?"

In the face of Hiddink’s doubts, several of his assistant coaches have no way. The former Yugoslavian striker’s contract is about to expire and he has been reluctant to renew his contract. He just wants to find a better opportunity to show his strength.

"Huss, let's go, at least he is still a member of your team now? If you want to go, he will leave at the end of the season. We will not meet Chelsea, so don't worry about his lack of work. "

"Yeah, coach, he actually wanted to leave a long time ago, so let him go, as long as you are still in Eindhoven, we are as competitive!"

Although the assistant coach who said this was also guilty of his conscience, he was still eloquent. It seems that this time at the Meadow Lane Stadium, they must be able to come back.

Regardless of the result, at least he was slapped on this flattery. The smile on Hiddink's face let the assistant coach know that his generous statement made Hiddink very useful.

One to one at home, it seems that only one victory is needed at the Meiduo Lane Stadium, even if it is a small win, to be able to advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

…

The second round of the UEFA Cup semi-finals came as scheduled. Abramovich appeared on the Meadow Lane as scheduled. With him, there were many Chelsea fans, they wanted to see. What is the level of the team's newly introduced forward?

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a stroll.

Maybe it was because of the advice of the assistant coach that Kežman still got the chance to start, but from the performance on the field, the Chelsea fans were a bit disappointed.

"What's the matter, three meters in front of the goal can be missed, which is worth 8 million euros?"

"That is, I bought such a few strikers, they are all very famous, and there is no one that is useful. Look, the goal efficiency is not as good as the strikers from the youth academy!"

Chelsea fans gritted their teeth, and the blues chairman Abramovich's face is not very good.

"Wei, your scout system under Magpie Sports doesn't work, I lose face..."

The Russian made a slap in the face, but his face was like a joke, full of smiles.

"Romain, you said that you are an official announcement before the game. People are not thinking about playing football anymore. You can buy a striker who can score 20 goals every season in the Eredivisie. You bought it for 8 million, even if it was sold after a change of hands. , You won’t lose money..."

"Hehe, what you said is true"

After hearing this, the Russians were really happy, but Wei Xun knew that eight million dollars was really nothing to Abramovich.
