Chapter 705 The Disgusting Club World Cup
In this pre-season preparation, David is still preparing for a cup-like warm-up match, inviting several teams to England to compete.
At present, the participating teams have been confirmed. In addition to Notts County, last season's Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich, Serie A runner-up Inter Milan, Portuguese Super League champion Boavista, League One champion Bei Weilun and Brescia who made up the numbers.
This gold content is actually not low. Not to mention the three strong teams in the Champions League. The Portuguese Super League is also the sixth largest league in Europe. It can win the championship. The strength of Boavista is obvious, and it will definitely not be lower than the five major leagues. The mid-range team, and Bei Weilun is not inferior, only Brescia is considered to participate through the back door.
After all, it is impossible to only compete with strong teams in the warm-up match before each season. The giants often find teams in the secondary leagues to practice their hands and rehearse their offense. Now that Brescia has them, it saves them from having to fight with big players after returning home!
Among these six teams, apart from the two giants Bayern and Inter Milan, the remaining four teams are inextricably linked. David holds all the shares of Brescia, and also holds the shares of Bewellen and Boavi. A part of Star's shareholding also has a great say. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a Notts County team.
Of course, Inter Milan and Bayern don't care about this. Even if they are all from Notts County, it is nothing more than a few warm-up matches. Can Notts County still cheat for the results of the warm-up match?
That is really a joke in the world!
Except for Brescia, these six teams are all going to participate in the Champions League in the new season. Inter Milan and Bayern only know that David holds a part of the shares of Bewellen and Boavista, but they don’t know how much, they are very skeptical Will Boavista and Bewellen be allowed to play in the Champions League.
According to UEFA regulations, two teams owned by the same owner cannot participate in the same event, that is to say, in any event, no two teams can have more than 51% of the shares controlled by the same person.
UEFA has launched an investigation against these three clubs, which has never happened before.
David is not worried at all. After all, he does not have a substantial shareholding in Bei Weilun and Boavista. The equity has not even reached 50%, and he has not directly participated in the operation of the club. He only has players with Notts County. It's all about cooperation. Even if UEFA investigates, it can't find anything that is not good for itself.
To understand it differently, David is just a wealthy member of Bei Weilun and Boavista!
However, if Brescia can also achieve results in Serie A in the future, it will be a troublesome matter. I am afraid that David will find a way to avoid it at that time, but it may be a few seasons later, but there is no need to worry so early !
The big deal is to transfer Brescia's equity to Miranda. This is not a problem, anyway, the two are not married.

The team's physical training is very strict, even more important than technical and tactical training.
Notts County's main lineup has not changed much this season, so there is no need for a particularly large change to the mature technical and tactical system last season, as long as it continues to be strengthened, so the proportion of physical training will be much larger.
Another important reason is that Notts County may encounter an unprecedentedly dense schedule this season.
This season's Toyota Cup has undergone major reforms. FIFA and the organizers of the Toyota Cup have reached an agreement to combine the two events into one and become the newly released Club World Cup.
In David's opinion, the food of FIFA is too ugly, and a dung truck passing by the door would like to taste salty.
The Toyota Cup has always been a traditional event with a long history. It has been held since the 60s of last season. The original purpose was also to confront the concepts of European power football and South American technical football, and the gold content is quite high.
Driven by interests, FIFA also established a competition of a similar nature, which is the prototype of the Club World Cup. FIFA created a big scene, and every intercontinental champion is eligible to participate. Clubs participate.
You know, that time was the time when the competitions of European teams were the most intensive. The European champions had to travel thousands of miles to play several weak games and then win the championship. However, teams from other continents were not playing the most intensive competitions. At that time, it was also during the offseason of the league, which seriously affected the preparations for the new season. Such a game caused a lot of complaints.
If the club does not support it, the market reaction will not be good. After all, everyone knows that this kind of event does not have high gold content and is not of great viewing value.
It is enough to have a contest between the top European teams and the top South American teams. Who wants to watch the contest between the African champions and the Oceanian champions? The names of their clubs are hard to remember, okay?
FIFA's promotion companies eventually went bankrupt, and the Club World Cup was held just once, and then it was stillborn.
However, FIFA is not willing to just let go of a big piece of fat, so it tried to combine the Toyota Cup and the Club World Cup into one. This season has become a brand new Club World Cup. It is still the original routine, but the competition The teams were reduced to six, the champions of the six continents.
The Club World Cup is still held by Japanese superstars. According to the competition system, Notts County will appear in the semi-finals as the champion of the Champions League. If they can eliminate their opponents, they will enter the final. That is to say, Notts County will play two games in Japan .
Playing two games in four days, coupled with long-distance travel, and when the schedule is very intensive on Christmas Eve, will have a great impact on the physical fitness of the Notts County team, so Notts County must do well in pre-season training. Physical reserve.
Now David is considering whether to send a second-tier team to participate in the Club World Cup. Although doing so would not give FIFA face at all, so what, FIFA can't control Notts County, it's none of his business!
What David cares about is the attitude of the FA. Who knows what is in the heads of these indifferent guys.
During the first Club World Cup in 2000, in order to curry favor with FIFA’s bid to host the World Cup, the FA forced Champions League champions Manchester United to send all first-team players to participate in the Club World Cup, and even made Manchester United withdraw from the FA Cup to avoid a crowded schedule. This kind of bullshit happened for real.
However, in that Club World Cup, Manchester United's performance was a complete disaster, and the then club chairman Edwards also broke out a shocking scandal-hiring prostitutes!
Not only did the goal of the FA not be achieved, but it also caused a lot of trouble. The image of English football has been greatly affected. Not to mention Manchester United's embarrassing exit, England's unsuccessful bid to host the World Cup has become the laughing stock of world football.
