King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 83 Damn extra-hands!

As the brother club of Notts County and Nottingham Forest, the Trent River not only gave birth to several clubs in Nottingham, but also the Stoke Club in Staffordshire.

Later generations of Premier League fans should be very familiar with the Stoke City team, and Stoke City’s predecessor was Stoke at this time. It is the second oldest professional football club in the world, second only to Wei Notts County under the command of Xun.

Since Trent Stoke is the famous ceramic capital of England, the Stoke City team has the nickname of "potters".

On the morning of the 19th, the Notts County team rushed to Trent Stoke to prepare to challenge Stoke in the League Two.

The two Italian teenagers, Montolivo and Pellizoli, who just joined the team due to their age advantages-none of them are 21 years old, so they can represent the team in official matches without registration. Fortunately, Guardiola took the bus to the Trent Stoke expedition.

Marotta and Paratic did not go with the team due to the need to take over the daily work of Notts County. The team chairman Wei Xun once again used his assistant coach and psychologist's authority to accompany the team to the Trent Stoke expedition.

Notts County, who arrived a day earlier, stayed at the hotel prepared by the Stoke Club for less than two hours. There were light bulbs bursting, water cuts, and power outages. Some rooms were filled with bedding. Musty smell.

The lunch that should have been prepared at 11:30 was not ready until 13:00. When the meal was ready at 14 o'clock, the players were surprised to find that this was not the sports meal that Stoke had promised in advance. It was prepared by the hotel. The food is all the fast foods on Guardiola's blacklist.

Wei Xun was on fire, but he restrained it and couldn't lose the quality of our Chinese.

"Son of a bitch!"

Wei Xun quickly took the staff accompanying the club to help the players transfer the luggage items they just took out to the team's bus.

Later, Wei Xun took people to the nearby market to buy some milk, boiled eggs and fruit to fill the players' hunger.

The Notts County players who didn't get a rest endured their hunger and went to training. They thought they could find their status on the training ground. Good guy, the British Alloy Stadium, Stoke's home stadium, couldn't get in!

The management of the stadium was stunned by the excuse that the key was lost, and the door could not be opened until the person with the spare key came over. The players in Notts County waited for three full hours in the sun.

When the spare key is delivered and all the staff set foot on the turf of the British Alloy Stadium, it is dark in Trent Stoke, and how can people train?

At this time, Stoke’s scorpion came again. The management said that the British Alloy stadium line was aging. In order to ensure the smooth progress of tomorrow's game, it is being repaired at this moment and cannot provide light for training in Notts County at night.

Notts County assistant coach "Roaring King" Eric Tynehag argued with the venue manager on the spot:

"Xiete! You don't have electricity, and you can't turn on the lights. Why didn't you say it earlier, we put all the training equipment in place before you said there was no electricity! Fuck!"

Wei Xun clung to Eric, the big guy, and told him to save his energy. There will be a game tomorrow. When the game is over tomorrow, he will come back and clean him up.

And Eric Tynehag's belly screamed unsuspectingly at this time.

Soon, the players on the court seemed to be infected, and there was a sound of "grumbling" in the British Alloy Stadium...

The game will be played tomorrow, and the Stoke Club will also train on the field. Notts County can only adapt to the field today.

But now it's dark, and there is no way to see the situation of the venue. The purpose of Stoker's use of these extravagance moves is self-evident.

"Damn it!"

This is Eric Tynhage complaining to Wei Xun...

Wei Xun waved his hand helplessly, pulling him out to carry the spare light source of the bus into the field.

In order to allow the players to adapt to the turf situation as soon as possible, Guardiola still let the players run back and forth on the court for a few laps, better than nothing.

Afterwards, the Notts County team conducted 10 minutes of ball training under the illumination of the backup light source carried by the team bus, and the game ended hurriedly before the game.

Pep Guardiola and Hubner are not young birds. Stoker apparently did this to disgust Notts County in order to gain a certain advantage.

Stoke coach Guyon Tordasson seems to be using practical actions to prove to Wei Xun and Notts County players that he knows more than just a few furs. In addition to theory and slurping, he also has practice. Action to support...

Fortunately, Peter Walker, a reporter for the Notts County Newspaper, was also there. He used a camera to record these special situations that Notts County encountered at the Stoke's premises-damn extra-extra moves.

After returning, Wei Xun and Marotta will bring these materials to the FA to appeal, walk through the door and brush their faces.

Although Wei Xun knew that going to the FA would not make any difference, but this group of people didn't let themselves get better, and he had to disgust them.

In order to prevent the Stoke Club from committing some nasty things such as: going to bed at night to talk downstairs in the hotel, hiring someone to set off firecrackers in the middle of the night, bribing the hotel staff to knock on the door in the early morning, and venting drugs at breakfast, lunch and dinner, etc., Knotts The county team did not choose to stay in the hotel in Trent Stoke.

They moved, moved to the college town of Staffordshire.

Under Wei Xun’s mediation, the head of Stafford University’s Logistics Management Office was willing to lend the school’s football field to Notts County for ball training, and quickly vacated a few vacant independent dormitories to place Notts. County players and coaches.

It’s also because in the summer, Stafford University’s dormitory conditions were pretty good, otherwise Wei Xun would have to ask the Stafford University Logistics Management Office to buy dozens of quilts to prevent everyone from catching a cold.

"These bastards, when you get to Notts County, Lao Tzu will also let you try these extravagant tricks!"

Cautiously took a bath in the dormitory, and the sports meal that Wei Xun asked the chefs of the Notts County base restaurant to make was urgently transported to the dormitory of Stafford University. After simple heating in a microwave oven, the players finally had a warm meal.

Just in case, Wei Xun spontaneously assumed the task of the first round of "camp guard". He and Old Mertesacker took turns to watch the night, moved a stool and sat downstairs in the dormitory where the Notts County players lived. People patrol, just sit and rest for a while.

In the second half of the night, Wei Xun and Old Mertesacker changed shifts several times, and they were already too sleepy. The newly joined goalkeeper Pellizoli went downstairs to give Wei Xun and the old Mertesacker two thin blankets.

Perhaps it was a premonition that there was no chance to play in the game later today. Pellizoli spontaneously stayed to accompany Wei Xun and the old Mertesacker to chat to relieve boredom, talk about his dreams, and talk about his original goalkeeper training. Original intention.

Wei Xun, a goalkeeper who had practiced for a period of time when he was a child, had a lot of common language with Pellizzoli. The two also made old Mertesacker laugh, and time flew quickly like running water...
