Chapter 111 The Golden Boot
Chapter 111 The Golden Boot
The promotion quota has been guaranteed, and Notts County really has nothing to desire in the last five rounds. Therefore, when Loew lined up in the starting lineup, he was completely free to do whatever he wanted. A game where the burden of winning or losing is not as interesting as an intra-team match!
However, at the same time as the big rotation in each game, because the three forwards of Hubner, Villa and Di Natale are still competing for the league golden boots, Loew will form a three-forward formation in almost every game. All the forwards are on the pitch, but whoever wins the league golden boot really needs to rely on the three forwards to fight for it.
In any case, the League Golden Boot will never be able to escape Notts County, and there is even a high possibility that Notts County will win all the gold, silver and bronze boots. This is definitely a feat that has never occurred in the history of the League Two. .
Although the three players all want this honor which is not outstanding, they will never hurt their peace because of one or two goals, especially Hubner, who has passed his thirties, and What can't be looked at? If it weren't for the worry that the two striker partners would care about it, he would even want to withdraw from the shooter battle.
Hubner topped the scorer list with 27 goals, followed by Villa's 25 goals, and Di Natale was delayed due to injury. Ranked third in the scorer list with 23 goals.
In the fifth-to-last round against Tranmere, the three strikers started together and scored the team's six goals.
But what is surprising is that these six goals have made the Golden Boot battle simple and blurred.
Di Natale, who scored the fewest goals, scored a hat-trick, and the total number of goals became 26; after Villa scored twice, the total number of goals became 27, while Hubner only One goal, the total number of goals becomes 28.
There is a goal difference between each other, and even the teammates don't know who to lean towards.
However, in the eyes of the media who follow the League Two, Di Natale should have the greatest chance of winning the Golden Boot, because his state is very good recently, as long as he can maintain it, it is not difficult to overtake the two striker partners.
In the penultimate round, Notts County challenged Queens Park Rangers. In this game, Notts County's three goals were once again arranged by three strikers.
Di Natale continued to maintain a bursting state, scoring twice in the first half, while Villa scored a single goal to seal the victory.
People who pay attention to the scorer list this time are a little confused, because after this game, the three strikers of Notts County actually scored the same number of goals, all 28 goals.
If you don't play like this, don't you three want to win the honor of the Golden Boot together?
It is not without such precedent. If two players score the same number of goals in a season, then both of them will become Golden Boots and share this honor.
Looking at Notts County's posture, is this going to produce three golden boots?
"Give me the golden boot, we are still good friends!"
During the recovery training, Villa moved to Di Natale's side and said with an unfathomable look.
Although the outside world is in full swing for the Golden Boot competition, it does not have much impact on the three strikers of Notts County. Even speaking, the three of them look down on this title.
League Two top scorer?
Take it out without showing your face!
Of course, what Villa said was just a joke with his striker partner, that's his character.
Di Natale looked at Villa with an expression of looking at an idiot, and said angrily: "You are still interested in this thing? Then you can take it, I don't want it for nothing!"
"Just kidding, although I don't really want it, but this size is also an honorary title. I want to discuss with you to make Dario a golden boot. You know, we two learned from him A lot, and this old guy probably won't be able to play for a few years, so give him the Golden Boot and at least make his career not so shabby!" Villa suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice.
Di Natale didn't expect Villa to have such thoughts, but after thinking about it, it was really necessary.
Hubner is 35 years old and is definitely a veteran on the football field. Although he is in good condition, it is really not easy to compete for the Golden Boot in League One next season.
As Villa said, Di Natale himself, Villa, and even Altintop Jr. came to Notts County and received careful guidance from Hubner, calling them both teachers and friends. It is not an exaggeration, it is really necessary to give the Golden Boot honor to Hubner.
Nodding, Di Natale and Villa reached a consensus on the matter.
"Don't make it too obvious, this old guy is not easy to fool!" Villa is still reminding Di Natale.
The Italian striker waved his hand nonchalantly.
"I know!"
But having said that, it really takes a lot of thought to hide it from Hubner.
During the training the next day, under the surprised eyes of the teammates, Di Natale and Villa came to the training ground as if they were in a hospital, with one limp and one covering their heads.
"Boss, my calf muscles are a little uncomfortable, maybe I'm a little too tired recently!" Di Natale said embarrassedly.
Loew smiled and didn't care. In his opinion, Di Natale, who scored consecutive goals, is still working hard on the field. Although the team doctor's medical report shows that the Italian striker's physical condition is good, muscle fatigue is still easy to appear. Yes, I don't care.
"Then rest and rest!" Waving his hand, Loew confirmed Di Natale's leave.
"Boss, I have a bit of a cold, and I have a terrible headache!" Villa covered his head and came to Loew, pretending to be pathetic and sick.
Love looked at David suspiciously, no matter how you look at this lively guy, he doesn't look like he has a cold!
"Uh, then go to the team doctor and have a checkup!" Loew didn't pay much attention and arranged.
Villa was stunned, why did he ask himself to go to the team doctor for an examination, shouldn't it be a chance to get a rest like Di Natale?
"I have a cold! Boss!" Villa stared wide-eyed, as if reminding him on purpose.
"Well, go check it out!" Loew thought Villa didn't hear him, so he said it a little louder this time.
Three black lines appeared on the top of Villa's head in an instant. He lowered his head and turned around full of frustration and walked towards the medical center. Already!"
