Chapter 507 Triple Crown! Four crowns!!
When many years have passed, the old Newcastle fans, who have lost their white teeth, still remember the scene that happened at the Emirates Stadium when the footprints of 2009 was about to reach May - when the game was going on for 80 minutes, the crazy Li and his magpie Corps had firmly Fate was in his own hands, and the cheers in the stands did not stop. In the shouts of the battle where even the earth was shaken, the game went to the end step by step... The score of 4:1 has made the opponent Arsenal lose the fighting spirit of resistance and let the competitors step on their own territory. It is a cruel thing for the body to ascend to the high-profile throne, but they are powerless... Force - the whistle of the game is like a judgment from heaven, just and cruel!
Some people cry because of this, and some people cry because of it. The difference is that the former is because of uncontrollable sadness, while the latter is because of the great happiness that they can hardly bear... No matter how strict discipline and rules are given, the adult can read it by gently raising his legs. The billboards can no longer stop the crazy Newcastle fans. The black and white torrent is like a broken river, leaking down from the stands... The players who took the honor of history were chased crazily, wine, cheers, kisses, hugs... "We Are Champions" no matter how many times they have been sung, At this moment, it seems solemn and sacred, and only these short lyrics and melodies are the most accurate expression of Newcastle fans in the world at this moment!
The newly built magnificent Emirates Stadium ushered in the birth of its first championship. Crazy fans are frantically destroying it. Fans who did not grab the player's jerseys, sneakers or leg pads turned their eyes to the lawns, nets and billboards here. When they left, someone was holding them in their pockets. A muddy lawn that has been trampled on, some people tightly cover the cut net, and some people are looking at half a billboard on their shoulders... The 200 order-keeping personnel organized by the Football Federation can't stop the fans from celebrating almost crazy. Their efforts are like a sand castle built by naughty children on the beach in the sunset. After the high tide, when the tide came, it disappeared in an instant!
Tide, tide, boiling black and white tide everywhere!
............Newcastle dressing room.
When Alan Shearer, with a messy hairstyle and only a pair of pure white cotton underwear printed with elephants, was left by the fans, he was surprised that his teeth fell to the ground. Li Tongfan was leisurely spraying perfume on his body in the mirror, unharmed... "Li, How are you..."
Before Hiller finished his words, Li Tongfan had already laughed. The bottle of luxury perfume prepared for the champion in his hand was sprayed on the mirror in the locker room. Because Shearer's muscular upper body was less than 20 bright red lip prints of different sizes, which must have been crazy. The female fans were silent... Li Tongfan turned his eyes, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and began to shoot this wonderful 'historical information' despite the solemn protest of the assistant coach.
The stuffy man was proud of himself while shooting: Fortunately, I had experienced such a crazy scene at the Pis Juan Stadium for a long time. Seeing that the situation was not good, he slipped fast... Before Hearer changed his clothes, he rumbled for a while, and the hammers that were stripped up fled. When they came in, the substitutes did not avoid the fans' poisonous hands... Ronaldo shed tears with a frightened face: "Fuck, these fans are too fast. I'm ready to run away before the referee blows the whistle. Who knows that as soon as he ran to the player's channel, he was pulled back into the field by them. It's a nightmare. I was forcibly kissed by an old woman in her seventies..."
............ Newcastle's 4:1 victory made the Argentine striker's final goal in the 89th minute of Old Trafford seem meaningless. A 2:1 victory is more like a consolation for Ferguson and Manchester United's indomitable fight this season!
Newcastle, which won the championship two rounds ahead of schedule, became England's new favorite. Municipal Axe fulfilled its previous promise and held a huge championship celebration in the downtown square. More than 400,000 fans participated in the celebration, which can be said to be the highest number of people who participated in the celebration after the Premier League team won the championship over the years!
The picture of a young bus driver driving a black and white convertible modified bus with a bright red English letters printed with the words 'Flying Newcastle' into the square from a sea of people was published in the front page of The Times. The newspaper said "Young Newcastle, No The title of "The Awakening of the Oldest Noble Blood in the Kingdom" is a detailed report of everything that happened in the carnival night in the downtown square of Newcastle - "... Another legend written by the madman Li in the British mainland, [God on the side of the football field] took only a season and a half to make a ball that fell into the relegation circle and was on the verge of bankruptcy. The team has bloomed again. This is the football myth of the 21st time, and we must admit that the honor brought by the madman Lee to Newcastle is far more than that. They have reached the finals in the UEFA Cup and FA Cup this season. Maybe, when the 08-09 season comes to a last stop, crazy What Zi Li brought to St. James is far more than we thought!"
The Sun took "Newcastle's fireworks illuminate the whole world" as the news headline, detailing many episodes in the celebration carnival of the Magpie Corps, among which the mayor personally unveiled the ten-meter-high bronze statue of the madman Li, and more than 400,000 people shouted the name of the madman Li at the same time, Newcastle The pictures of the superstars lighting fireworks in the middle of the square... These pictures have been reprinted by the media all over the world... Like The Times and The Sun, in this period, people use the word "legend" to describe Li Tongfan's word "legend"!
Alive, young legend!
It is hard to imagine that in the poor English language composed of 26 simple English letters, there is any word that can better describe the shock brought to the European continent by this madman from China than "legendary"!
At the end of April, it was a harvest season for both the madman Li and his Newcastle. In a short time, in addition to the supreme honor of the league champion, all kinds of other honors also came - Alan Smith and David Thornton won the British respectively. The best player and the best young player in the Super League in April!
And the biggest gain is Juan Mata. Although it is not the first season in the Premier League, [Angel Wings] Juan Mata still relies on the dominant performance in Newcastle's full season, surpassing Manchester United's super emperor superstar C-Rorna. Erdo and many other powerful competitors became the best young player of the 08-09 season!
"An unparalleled season, an unparalleled player!"
This is the official comment given by the Football Association when it awarded Mata this honor. It is the same as the honor of the league champion. After 72 years, Newcastle's players finally won this award again!
Until May 2009, the whole city of Newcastle was immersed in great joy and joy, and soon, unconsciously, the last two rounds of the 08-09 season of the Premier League also ended quietly in the ground - May 2.
Newcastle beat West Bromwich Albion, a weak team with no relegation, 2-0 at home and scored two goals for the team. It was German rookie Thomas Mueller, who made his debut in the second leg of the UEFA Cup against Juventus!
May 10th.
The Magpie Corps beat Wigan Athletics 3-0 at the JJB Stadium. Owen and Shepchenko scored one goal each, and German midfielder Hedira made a long shot, marking a perfect end to Newcastle's dreamy 08-09 season!
In these two games, Li Tongfan deliberately replaced young players. Mueller, Moussa Sissco, Khedira, David Hedya, Zahad, Andy Carroll and other young players under the age of 20 got the opportunity to play most of the time. The performance of the young players once again made the media and fans feel the eye. The front is bright!
At the end of the 38th rounds, the competition for the ranking of the Premier League table was finally settled - Manchester United, which lost the hope of winning the championship, was like being pulled out of its backbone. In the 37th round of the home game against Liverpool, Vidic was expelled from the red card for two consecutive fouls against [Holy Baby] Torres, and finally He was overtaken by Chelsea by the Blues at the last minute and lost the second place in the Premier League table!
Liverpool, which defeated Manchester United, did not continue to maintain their good luck. Benitez' inexplicable rotation made them lose to Anfield in the last round of the league, losing the game with a score of 0:2, and finally losing the Champions League place next season... Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester United, A Senna, this is the top four of the Premier League in the 08-09 season, qualified for the Champions League next season, while Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa will play in the UEFA Cup in the 09-10 season!
The dust of the 08-09 season was finally settled. Newcastle's championship can be said to be not only in the expectation of many people, but also in their unexpected. A temporary youth army, with few opportunities to run in, finally staged a mythical journey, which made the madman Li walk more and more on his way to the altar. The more you come, the more you can't catch up!
And this season, except Newcastle, no one is the winner - [Lightning Killer] Michael Owen finally became the top scorer of the 08-09 season with 36 league goals, and also won the European Golden Boot, becoming the hottest candidate for this year's European Footballer!
[Angel Wings] After winning the Player of the Year, Juan Mata became the British assist king this season with 27 league assists. This figure is 10 more than André Pirlo, the second main attacker of the five major European leagues!
In the award selection at the end of the season, Juan Mata unexpectedly defeated teammates Owen and Alan Smith and was elected England Footballer of the Year. Of course, like [Lightning Killer] Michael Owen, Mata is also a popular candidate for European Footballer!
In addition, Ronaldo, Alan Smith, Arshavin, Poorsky, Taylor, Thornton, Marcelo and Hugo Loris were selected into the best team of the Premier League without any suspense, and occupied five of the starting eleven, which can be called a bumper harvest!
... In May, when some people have harvested honors and some people have lost their departure, European football has established a new order in chaos. The new and old 'noble' Newcastle and the Rossoneri AC Milan will finally meet in the UEFA Cup final, while the last champion Manchester United and the Nerazzurion Barcelona came to the end in the Champions League. !
In Barcelona, relying on the magical long-range shot of Little White Iniesta, drew 1:1 with Chelsea and finally eliminated the Blues' Stamford Bridge semi-finals by away goal advantage. There was a series of misjudgment that shocked the European media. Chelsea suffered extremely unfair treatment in the game. Cerona's three consecutive penalties were ignored. The picture of central defender Pik blocking Anelka's single-knife in the penalty area was repeatedly reported by many English media. After the game, [Warcraft] Drogba faced a penalty from UEFA for abusing the referee on duty, and about Platini's support for La Liga to suppress the Premier League. The law is very arrogant in a short time!
The English media is worried that this is just a small sign. Premier League teams will participate in the League Cup final and UEFA Champions League final at the end of the season. English people are worried about the fate of Manchester United and Newcastle, fearing that the two teams representing the Premier League will be treated unfairly again in their respective finals... And When a reporter threw such a worry to the person concerned, the madman Li, the madman Li's answer almost detonated the whole world: "If I suffer such unfair treatment, I will go crazy. If someone has a gun at this time, maybe I will shoot the guy who ruined the game into a hornet's nest..."
This sentence has caused an uproar all over the world. Opponents believe that the madman Li is promoting violence on the court and must be severely punished, so soon, Li Tongfan received a 10,000-pound ticket from UEFA for this sentence!
Of course, there are also people who applaud the madman Li's bold psychological tactics. Manchester United coach Ferguson said in an interview with reporters: "He is such a guy who is easy to produce **. Whether on or off the court, to some extent, his remarks are not fault. Any one The team's head coach can't stand being framed one after another by a faint whistle..."
Obviously, in the face of the upcoming finals, Ferguson also played psychological tactics. He used personal emotional words such as 'stle' and 'framing' to support the madman Li. In fact, it was also to put pressure on the referee in the finals!
This time, the old and the young giants, the almost immortal enemies in the Premier League, rarely stand on the same front!
... After the end of the season, most of the Premier League teams are on holiday, but Newcastle is still in a tense and orderly preparation. In addition to the UEFA Cup final, Newcastle has to play another important game - the FA Cup final!
What makes the fans a little aesthetically tired is that the opponent of this game is still the Gunner Arsenal. The game at the Emirates Stadium made countless Newcastle fans excited. It has been less than a month, and the two teams have met again!
For Arsenal, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge, and for Newcastle, no matter who the opponent is, this is a historical moment to achieve the season's triple crown!
May 20th.
The FA Cup final kicked off at Wembley Stadium.
Because the game is played in a neutral venue, in addition to the neutral fans, Newcastle fans and Arsenal fans each occupy half of the stands. The Gunners fans hope that the team can seize the last opportunity of the 08-09 season and take back the last possible honor from the claws of the madman Li, and Magpie fans hope that another big victory will be staged here, and the team will win the third championship of this magic season!
At 16:00 p.m., referee Howard Webb whistled, and the game began in a hot atmosphere!
"enemity" meet each other, and they are very jealous!!
Arsenal, who took the lead in kick-off, did not make any temptation and directly launched a fierce offensive. The defeat not long ago made them still familiar with the opponent's tactics and movement habits. Except for the battle with a bayonet, everything else is superfluous!
And the Magpie Legion, with the momentum of the league champion, like a hot-tempered man, launched a sparking counterattack!
Competition, fierce competition, on every inch of turf!
The first to score was Newcastle!
[Alien] Ronaldo, who received Owen's hard-working header, was accidentally knocked down by Gunners captain Garris after breaking into the penalty area. The referee Howard Webb did not hesitate to directly sentence the gunner's capital punishment... [**] Alan Smith hit him with a knife. In the 5th minute of the game, he will be compared. Rewritten as 1:0, Newcastle made a dream start!
Wembley Stadium, black and white boiled for the first time, and the honor of the Triple Crown is beckoning to Newcastle!
The game continues.
The offensive of the two teams has given both sides a lot of opportunities, but compared with the two juniors of Adebayor and Van Persie, the two young Junyan, [Aeign Fatty] Ronaldo and [Lightning Killer] Owen, are still better at grasping the opportunity - the 18th minute.
[Arillar Fatty] Ronaldo made a long shot outside the penalty area, and Amulnia took off the ball, and followed closely [Lightning Killer] Owen made a make-up shot to break the net... 2:0!!
45th minute.
Fernando Gago blocked the ball in the middle, and the [alternalt fat man] on the penalty area line twisted his fat buttocks at the moment of receiving the ball. The drunken eight immortals-like dance steps stopped and wiped out the unlucky Garras, and shot the far corner... 3:0!!!
"...The league champion Newcastle dominated the game. Compared with the young gunners, he performed more efficiently and had a champion temperament. The score of 3:0 made the victory and defeat have no suspense! It seems that this season, we can only put the hope of the last sniper on Newcastle on AC Milan in 7 days. If even the star-starring Rossoneri can't stop the madman Li from expanding his territory, then the Magpie Legion will be the supreme four crowns!"
The on-site commentator lamented at halftime.
