King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 58 Juventus

Four teams participated, two from England's second league, plus one from Spain's second league, and one team was short of organizing the "Magpie Cup" charity invitational tournament.

Unfortunately, Guardiola's former home team Barcelona also rejected Notts County's invitation on the grounds of heavy competition tasks.

Bayern Munich, who has a good relationship with Wei Xun, also has the Champions League to play. The timing cannot be staggered and there is no way to come and join in, but they donated 50,000 euros very understanding.

If only these three low-level teams compete, the influence of the Magpie Cup will be greatly reduced. Wei Xun still hopes that a powerful team can come to participate in this invitational tournament.

It doesn't matter if Notts County can't win the championship!

Just when Wei Xun was wondering whether to use money offensive to impress some wealthy clubs to support the scene, Zhao Tai's assistant sent Wei Xun an official document.

The signature of the official document is from the Italian giants Juventus Club.

Juventus’s classic black and white striped jersey comes from Nottsshire, England’s oldest professional club, and it is also the starting point of the friendly relationship between the two clubs.

For more than a hundred years, Notts County can only be in the second division, while Juventus is the well-deserved overlord of Serie A, but the relationship between the two clubs has been maintained well.

The official document stated that in view of the charitable actions of Notts County and Chairman Wei Xun, as well as Juventus's convenient schedule, Juventus Chairman Mogi hopes that the team can participate in this "Magpie Cup" charity invitational tournament.

What is there to hesitate about, Wei Xun couldn't ask for it! Although the current chairman of Juventus is the well-known conspirator Moggi, a figure who only covers the sky in Italian football.

But Wei Xun doesn't mind, after all, no matter how much his influence in Italy, he can't control Notts County, which is the third level in England, right?

And Wei Xun also understands the purpose of Juventus coming this time. With the two low-level English teams plus Real Santander, which has been in the second league, the training effect will be very ideal.

On September 18th, Juventus will challenge the Celtics in an away game. Also in the second half of the Champions League are strong teams such as Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​and Deportivo, who might have encountered them in the second round of the group stage.

Adapt to the game style of England and Spain in advance. For Juventus, who has introduced many new aids this year, participating in the "Magpie Cup" charity match can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Mo Ji is worthy of being Mo Ji, every step is counted so precise, not only leaving a good reputation, but also training the team.

This kind of operation made the fledgling Wei Xun scratch his head. Such an opponent is really too difficult to deal with. If this old guy takes a fancy to his player, Guardiola will squirt himself to death, right?

Wei Xun doesn't think that under Juventus's pursuit, the Notts County players can strictly guard the red line without temptation.

After Juventus decided to participate, the first "Magpie Cup" Charity Invitational was officially announced on the official website of Notts County.

Due to time constraints, the competition system of this year's competition directly adopts the draw-and-take-to-eliminate system instead of the intra-group round-robin system.

The situation of the organizing committee through the draw was determined by the drawing of Notts County Chairman Wei Xun and Northampton Chairman Irwin Jonny to determine the match.

Northampton had just played against Notts County in the previous rounds. Irvine Jonny and Wei Xun didn't want the two teams to have another duel, and the two had to do some tricks in the draw.

In the end, Wei Xun was drawn to Real Santander, and Irvine was drawn to Juventus. The winner of the two games will compete in the ultimate competition to determine the champion of this cup.

When the flight of Royal Racing Santander and Juventus arrived at London International Airport, the staff of Notts County had been waiting at the airport for a long time.

People give you face, and the rare window period did not take a good time to relax and recover, but ran all the way to participate in your Notts County charity invitation game. These courtesy operations must be prepared for others, and they will also be warm and hospitable. The reputation of the club will come to participate in similar competitions next time.

For Notts County, this is an opportunity to show off their strengths, to make friends, and to deepen friendships.

Northampton came by bus a bit earlier than the other two teams, but they had just stayed at the hotel arranged by Notts County.

Luggage items are placed by the staff of the hotel and Notts County. After the players and management of the four teams are settled, they will take the bus to Wangjiang Building for dinner.

In order to accommodate so many players to eat at the same time, Wangjiang Tower has already issued an announcement that the third floor will not be open tonight.

Everyone gathered together, and there was a welcome party for almost a hundred people, which can be regarded as a preview for the big party at the end of the season.

The three teams from afar rested in the hotel for one night. The next morning the teams had a brief ball training at the Notts County Training Center and adapted to the turf of the Meadow Lane Stadium.

As most of the buildings at the Notts County Base are still under construction, Wei Xun did not arrange for the three teams to visit the Notts County Base and the Honors Showroom.

Even the simplest structure of the Notts County Fans Hall is still under renovation and ventilation. It is not always necessary to bring Juventus and Royal Racing Santander to the construction site to eat dirt or go to the house to absorb formaldehyde.

Compared with the old and new training facilities in Notts County and the renovated Meadow Lane stadium before the season, Juventus's training facilities are naturally too luxurious.

But after all, this is the site of Notts County. Just follow the locals. The old is a bit old, but there are not many things. The Sports Science Center and the physical coaches in Notts County are not dry meals.

According to Wei Xun's temper, these old guys must have been completely renewed.

But who made Zhao Tai the general manager of the financial affairs of Notts County? A man is a master who can break a dollar into two fifty cents...

However, compared with Juventus, although the other three clubs still have great shortcomings in terms of strength, Notts County, Northampton, and Royal Racing Santander all have their own home stadiums, so there is no need to endure the lack of renting venues. Juventus can’t match the pain of making the decision.

Italy has its own economic policies and regulations. Not being able to own its own home court is not because the team has insufficient financial resources.

However, Juventus' late efforts also made Wei Xun look at him. Later Juventus is the only team in Serie A with an autonomous home court.

In later generations of the Super League, Henan Jianye is a club with its own home court. Even if it was once complained by fans because of the turf quality of the Nautical Stadium, the quality of the turf is getting better and better now.

In China, football is a very difficult project to make a profit. It is really helpless to rent out a large piece of land for a football field and charge some fees.

After large-scale events such as concerts are over, the logistics management department of the Super League team still has to improve its work efficiency. A flat venue is also a face of the game.
