Chapter 213 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

The outstanding performance of the Magpies' soldiers in the league bought valuable time and space for Notts County to prepare for the FA Cup, and also eased the pressure on the players facing latecomers in the league.

As everyone has been waiting for, Notts County's opponent in the fourth round of the FA Cup is Watford, the "Bumblebee" who is also in the English League One.

According to the strength on the books, Notts County is definitely stronger than Watford. The results in the first half of the league season illustrate the problem. At that time, Notts County was at home against the then-ranked English League One team.

Watford, ranked 15th, finally defeated its opponent with four goals.

Although the turmoil during the coaching change period was the main factor that led to Watford's defeat, when the Notts County people faced Watford again, they undoubtedly won a big psychological advantage. The thought of being proud and underestimating the enemy permeated most Notts County people.

In the minds of Ibaraki players.

Except for a few experienced veterans and coach Guardiola, most of the young players on the team were floating. Wei Xun heard their voiceovers when he was taking a bath in the "Magpie Pond". They took it for granted that Wo

For an opponent like Telford, it was easy for him to defeat him. It was too easy.

He can't even beat a tough fight, let alone abusing food.

Especially the restless elements in the team, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.

After learning that La Liga giants Real Madrid had made a formal offer to Notts County to buy them both, the two became even more unscrupulous and didn't know what to say, even though Wei Xun and Marotta had clearly told them that Real Madrid

The offer had been rejected by the club, but they still went their own way. The two guys secretly went to the nightclub to pick up girls. When they came back, Wei Xun and Esayas were waiting for the two guys smelling of alcohol by the wall.

Upright.

"Esaias, look at it, these two boys have a good life." Wei Xun glanced at Esaias beside him, and then said to Robery and the other two, "Okay, Aryan

, Frank, you two were just eating from the bowl and looking at the pot? Did you run back without even wiping off the lipstick marks on your face? "

Wei Xun put his hands in his hands and looked at him with a bad look. Frank also took advantage of the drunkenness to act out, but poor Arjen Robben, who had a good drinking capacity, suddenly regained his consciousness and hurriedly dealt with the marks on his face.

"Aryan, let me tell you now, not only Real Madrid, but also Chelsea, the Premier League team in London, have made an offer for you. It's 5.4 million pounds. This price is not low. It's higher than what we at Notts County had

When I brought you in, the transfer fee doubled, what do you think? Think about it."

"Boss... Boss, I won't go to Chelsea, and I won't go to Real Madrid. I..., I, Aryan, will be a Nottingham man all my life!"

Arjen Robben patted his chest and assured Wei Xun, while Franck Ribery, who seemed drunk on the other side, also patted his chest and assured Robben. He even imitated Robben's stuttering and said:

"I...I, Frank, have been...all my life...from Nottingham..."

"Aryan, Frank, why are you two still trembling while talking? You drank too much outside and are rolling your tongue?"

Wei Xun stared at Robben's eyes, looking forward to his answer. As for Franck Ribery on the side, Wei Xun simply ignored him, and he couldn't ask anything anyway.

"Boss, I didn't drink. It's winter now. I'm cold, yes, cold!"

Robben touched his clothes, as if grasping a life-saving straw, but the kid was secretly shouting, "Xie Te, I left my coat in the nightclub private room, now I am very embarrassed."

, but it has a number and name on it, so I won’t be able to deny it at that time..."

Wei Xun came up and hit Robben on the chest, took off his down jacket and put it on Robben's shoulders, "Why don't you hurry in if you feel cold?"

"Ah..." Robben was stunned for a moment, and the guilt in his heart became heavier. In fact, it was really cold on this day. As soon as Wei Xun took off his jacket, there was only a short-sleeved shirt left inside, and he felt guilty.

Robben quickly supported Franck Ribery, and the two of them prepared to use the trash cans beside the wall as a ladder to jump directly into the base.

"What are you two doing!", Wei Xun was also speechless. These two boys were caught by himself and Esayas, why are they still thinking about climbing over the wall? It seems that these boys have taken advantage of this "terrain"

"Advantage" I sneaked out to play at night, and I must ask someone to move these trash cans farther away tomorrow.

"Aryan, you two go in directly from the main entrance. Uncle Grant is still waiting for you. Are you so sneaky and afraid that others will know? If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, I will be on the bulletin board of the club.

When I see your and Frank’s confession, the more profound the better!”

Wei Xun angrily kicked Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery's butts, "Go away..."

As soon as they finished speaking, Robben and Frank ran to the main entrance of the Notts County base. It turned out that Franck Ribery was still pretending to be drunk. Essayas laughed, and Wei Xun also laughed.

Laughing, Wei Xun took note of this location. Not only does it have a "terrain advantage", but it is also a place that cannot be covered by cameras. He must find a way to improve it. From now on, these bad boys from Notts County will

But we have to find a new "door".

…

Early the next morning, Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben's reviews were posted on the club's information bulletin board. They also copied a copy and sent it to the club's radio station, which was released at the same time.

Yes, there is also the punishment the club imposed on these two guys. They were suspended for one league match, fined 500 pounds, deducted from the match bonus, and banned from going out for a week.

After broadcasting the club's punishment of the two guys, Peter Walker also read out the two's letters of apology on the radio, which was a statement of preparedness issued by Notts County Chairman Wei Xun. In fact, Peter Walker did not understand what a "memorial" was.

, but as he read, he discovered that the word "challenge" should be a type of war statement.

Wei Xun clearly knows that although Watford's chances in the league in the first half of the season were not ideal, they are indeed the top four teams in the FA Cup this season. In addition to the British Championship that Notts County has already won,

, the FA Cup and the League Cup, which must be defeated every four times, has become a curse.

The next round, against Watford, is the fourth round of the FA Cup. Don't these guys have any psychological pressure or any psychological implications?

Seeing that these boys were becoming more and more underestimating the enemy, he had to take cruel measures. He picked out Ribery and Robben and gave them a beating. He hoped that the team members could learn from them and successfully break the curse. Five hundred pounds

For Robben and Ribery, it is a small amount of money, and it is deducted directly from the bonus. Wei Xun has already thought about it. As long as they win the next game, this five hundred pounds is simply a drop in the bucket for them.

.

In order not to affect Guardiola's formation, the Notts County club's penalty notice also stated that the league was suspended for one game, so both of them could still play in the fourth round of the FA Cup. In order to successfully break the curse, Wei

Xun Xun has been thinking carefully to this point, "Guys, you must not let me down. We must, must, must break the curse successfully, otherwise we will not be able to play in the Europa League next season..."
