In the face of UEFA’s punishment, Knotts County did not appeal. After all, Loew did not follow the team on the pretext of being sick, but everyone knows that he was preparing for the first team players at the training base that day, and he was not sick at all. As a result, if you rashly appeal to no avail, you will inevitably face more severe punishment.
Anyway, Notts County came out as the first in the group. No matter who was the first opponent in the knockout, the first round of the confrontation was on the road, occupying the advantage in the schedule, even if Love can’t command on the sidelines. There may be an accident, but when you return to the home field, Notts County is confident to pull it back, but it is not the end of the world!
After the UEFA Champions League group stage, the focus of Knotts County can be completely transferred to other venues. After all, the Champions League knockout will only re-start in February.
The opponent in the next league Notts County is Chelsea, the biggest competitor in the Notts County League, and is also a team that is not far behind in the standings.
But now there is very good news for Notts County, that is, in the final round of the Champions League group match three days ago, Chelsea and Inter Milan fought for 90 minutes before finally ensuring the promotion to the top 16 in the group. Just after a big battle, in the face of Notts County, Chelsea is still at a disadvantage even if it is at home.
Notts County has a tight schedule, but Chelsea is also the same. They are also facing the dilemma of the third-line battle. Although the thickness of the blue lineup bench is amazing, the strength of the bench players is still a certain gap from Notts County. Presumably Mulini Ao must have a headache now!
Before the game, Mourinho fired directly at the FA. The shelling schedule was amateur. The actual situation of the UEFA Champions League team was not considered at all. Double games and even three games a week are just commonplace. I really use players as animals. !
Mourinho's big mouth is notoriously capable of picking things up. Last season, he was not punished by UEFA and the UEFA. However, he is always not memorable. Fortunately, this is not a sensitive topic. Every season Several rich coaches will have similar complaints, and have not seen anyone punished by the FA!
However, when the reporters retorted that “The same schedule is in Notts County, why didn’t Notz County come to complain?” Mourinho couldn’t open his mouth.
Who made Knotts County so evil?
They had good luck in drawing the Champions League in Notts County, and they were assigned to a group of all weak teams. After playing four games, the group was determined to be the first qualifying team. The next two games are just a walk through, so they dare to send in the Champions League. Reserve team players go to play.
But Chelsea can’t do it, and they are in a group with Inter Milan. They are the traditional giants of Serie A. Recently, their strength has also been steadily improving. Chelsea didn’t take advantage of Inter Milan. The final round of the battle really determined the first team. , Look again, the main players are almost exhausted, how to compare with Notts County?
Mourinho was very unconvinced. He felt that if Chelsea and Notts were to change places, he didn’t need to complain publicly about the schedule!
After all choices, Mourinho still didn't dare to send all the main lineups to face Notts County. The players' physical energy consumption is serious. If they forcibly play, they are easy to be injured. Let's not talk about it. How to play the next game? It is likely to be the negative impact of the chain, or even fall short.
Of course, Mourinho did not dare to send bench players to give up the game completely. He was really unwilling to be thrown away by the gap between Notts County. If Chelsea really lost this game, then there is a match with Notts County. There is a gap of 5 points, even if this is not a desperate one, it will definitely make Chelsea completely passive.
In the end, the Magic Bird carefully selected a few main players with relatively good physical conditions, and several substitutes to play against Notts County. Perhaps the chances of losing are great, but at least if they play well, there is no possibility of winning. He still Very confident in Chelsea's lineup.
After 20 minutes of play, Mourinho on the sideline showed an imperceptible smile, because today's game seems to be somewhat unexpected, and Chelsea players played very tenaciously, even if the scene fell into the wind. However, he did not let Knotts County score a goal, and the strength of the defense has reached his own requirements. This is not easy to do.
What makes him more happy is that today's referee's home whistle is very obvious. Chelsea are fighting very hard in defense, but many times the referee will choose to open his eyes and close his eyes, not to interrupt the game. Ibaraki also had another goal that was blown offside. From his point of view, it seemed that it was a good ball. The referee's penalty also caused dissatisfaction among Notts players, but the referee forced it down.
If the referee has maintained such a scale and tendency, then this game of Chelsea really takes a big advantage!
Mourinho was overjoyed, and Loew and David on the bench were not happy, especially David, frowning. Obviously, they did not anticipate this situation.
Isn't there anything stupid?
Although this is Chelsea's home court, this home whistle is too blatant, even if it is not unscrupulous, it can be seen by everyone. Could the referee dare to do this without giving advice?
After thinking about it for a while, he probably understood what was going on!
Obviously, in the last game against Liverpool, Notts County did not take care of the overall situation after the bus was under siege, directly hard-top the FA, and even threatened to strike, making the FA totally embarrassed, this is not, the English football The total fall accounting is here!
This gang of dogs~ Niang things!
David would like to point at the nose of the FA senior executives to scold a few words A little power, I don’t know how to use it!
But there is no way. Notts County always has to survive in England. In any case, it cannot escape the jurisdiction of the FA, otherwise David would have turned his face!
Although the lineup of Chelsea is at a disadvantage in this game, the referee is on their side. It is also a missed sangyu. At least now Chelsea can stabilize the heel with the help of the referee and will not be crushed by Knotts County.
Perhaps the Chelsea players saw through the referee's tendency to punish, and they simply went unscrupulously. In the second half, Phillips took the ball to the Knotts County penalty area but played a diving slam, directly without anyone touching him. Falling to the ground, the referee hesitated and awarded a penalty. Lampard took the lead in a single stroke.
The angry Knotts County did not equalize the score with a tactical corner until the final moment of the game, avoiding the embarrassment of losing away.
Eventually, Notts County tied Chelsea on the road, and the difference between the two clubs did not change. (To be continued.)
