Chapter 316 Before Christmas 2

Playing Newcastle United away is a difficult challenge for any team.

In 1892, Newcastle's East Side became the main force of the city. Soon, under their strong competitiveness, the city's West Side team merged with the East Side team and moved the home court to St. James's Park. The team was renamed Newcastle.

After that, it was not until January 1930 that Newcastle United had the first head coach, but what was interesting was Frank, the previous secretary of their club. Walter led the team to win four league titles, two FA Cup titles, and four FA Cup runner-up.

With the head coach, their results are no longer so outstanding.

The last important honor of Newcastle United was to win the European Expo Cup in 1969. Under the leadership of Bobby-Moncur, they defeated Hungary's New Pace in the final.

In the 1980s, Sir John Hall, the president of the club, invested a lot of money in the club to build the stadium into the best in England. On the other hand, Kevin. Keegan became the coach and challenged Manchester United. They won a lot of fans, but they didn't win the championship.

In the 1996 and 1997 seasons, Newcastle had good results. Unfortunately, the only strong team in England at that time was Manchester United. They lagged behind Manchester United on both occasions and only got the runner-up in the Premier League.

Although Newcastle is not a well-known team in England, it is one of the most supported by fans. Everyone who has been to James Park was shocked by the enthusiasm of local fans, who affectionately called the team in black and white jerseys "the magpie".

The fans here are definitely the most enthusiastic in England, and even Bolton, who is a football hooligan, has to admit defeat in this regard. This is also the home of Newcastle United and the most unacceptable away game for all clubs in England.

Newcastle's recent achievements are very outstanding in Bobby. After Robson became the head coach, the team's results jumped up and entered the top four of the Premier League in the last two seasons. As one of the few most popular teams in England, Newcastle can become the five richest clubs in England for a reason.

And this season is destined to be a milestone season for Newcastle.

The two legends in the club's history will leave after this season. Coach Robson failed to reach a contract renewal agreement with the senior management, while striker Alan. Shearer is also expected to hang up his boots at the end of the season.

Even so, last summer, Newcastle United became one of the focuses of the attention of the English media. Its status even surpassed that of Liverpool. Liverpool was only Cise and Don Jack to join. Cise was a little famous. Don Jack was not very famous before.

But Newcastle has ushered in the legendary striker Cruyvette. In addition, the gradual maturity of a generation of newcomers such as Jenas and Dyer has also attracted a lot of attention to Newcastle United. Unfortunately, Robson may really be really old. This season, Newcastle has not been able to rise again, but Newcastle United's legendary striker A Lan. In the retirement season, Shearer still scored eleven goals in the middle, ranking fourth in the Premier League scorer list. This result is so excellent that fans feel that Shearer's retirement can be delayed by a year.

Now, Liverpool is going to challenge such a team away. For Benitez, this is another difficult and rough challenge after the Liverpool derby.

※※※

Rough, this word is not very pleasant.

But the rudeness here is not the game itself. In fact, Newcastle United's players are still clean. In the previous game, Newcastle only got 14 yellow cards and one red card, which ranked tenth in the Premier League.

That is to say, the game itself is not difficult.

But Newcastle United fans can annoy any team in the world!

Newcastle United is one of the most popular teams in England. This is not a joke. These support is the fans from Newcastle United. These fans are very enthusiastic. Every game, the enthusiastic Newcastle United fans will bring great trouble to the visiting team.

There is a very obvious data that illustrates this problem: every season, Newcastle United is always the highest in the amount of fined by the FA because of the behavior of fans. Newcastle United has to prepare an amount of 500,000 pounds a year for this expenditure.

This is commonplace for them.

Think about it, there must be a lot of pressure to play at such a home game. Benitez has not experienced it. However, after the Premier League, the Spaniard has also broadened their horizons. England's style and fans are not Spain's 'sissy'. Here, football is a real battlefield, and there are always a lot of things to do. Love and rudeness.

Before the game, Benitez repeated a sentence to the players: "Don't pay attention to those fans."

With this mood, on December 19, the Liverpool team took a bus to Newcastle, which is one of the most popular cities in England in the 20th century. The famous Newcastle University is located in the city center with beautiful scenery.

However, the whole Liverpool team has no time to enjoy the scenery.

The fans here and the scenery do not match at all. When the bus entered the city, it was immediately besieged by fans. Newcastle fans shouted the slogan 'You will lose your pants' and kept hitting Liverpool's bus. A large group of fans stood in front of the bus, and the bus could not move forward at all.

Fortunately, the Newcastle police responded very quickly, allowing Liverpool players to see the efficiency of Newcastle police.

Perhaps the busiest job of Newcastle police personnel every year is to evacuate the fans. In short, they are very efficient. When the bus was besieged, in less than three minutes, five police cars surrounded them. More than 20 police officers came down to evacuate the ball fan group immediately, which made the bus slowly move forward. .

"It's terrible!" Barosh said, "Every time I come to Newcastle, I get scared. These fans are so crazy."

"You should be lucky." Don Jack said.

Barosh was stunned, "What's the blessing?"

"I'm glad we are very close to here. We don't have to live here at night, otherwise..."

"This..." It's horrible to think about it.

If Liverpool beat Newcastle United and still live here at night, will these crazy fans rush into the hotel and beat them up one by one... It is really possible that in 1995, it is said that a Turkish team that humiliated Newcastle at home had been treated like this. Fortunately, the police responded quickly, and no player died because of this.

However, this also makes Newcastle United most afraid to challenge the Turkish team away, because they don't know if they will be treated the same.

Fortunately, Newcastle United itself is not crazy.

In the warm-up before the game, the whole Liverpool team saw the legendary English star.

This makes Mailer, Pangler and others a little excited. In the hearts of these new generation of young strikers in England, Alan. Shearer is undoubtedly a legend. It is an honor to meet Shearer.

In the 1990s, England's undisputed number one "killer" Alan. Shearer was born on August 13, 1970. He is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 71 kilograms. Hiller has been a child genius since he was a child. At the age of five, he was determined by his kindergarten teacher as a "future star". He is the new idol of England fans and the future and hope of the England team.

At the age of eight, Shearer joined the Hoolsend Children's Team, the team's number one star and captain. At the age of 12, he was selected to the Watson Boys Club, which was both goalkeeper and front. In the six years of the Watson Boys Club, Shearer scored more than 50 goals per season, winning all the trophies and championship titles. Later, he played for the Gosfords Middle School team, the Southampton Reserves and the Southampton adult team, and gradually grew into a real professional star.

In 1993, Shearer has become a famous football genius in the North of England. He transferred to the small club Blackburn Club. In that season, he won the Super League championship for the team for 81 years, which caused a storm. He himself scored 31 goals and became the best scorer in the league.

In the second season, Shearer scored 31 goals and became the best scorer again.

In the summer of 1996, Alan. Shearer transferred to Newcastle United at the world's highest price of 15 million pounds, making this second-rate team a first-class team in the Super League and a strong contender for the championship. In the 96-97 season, Shearer scored another 25 goals, became the top scorer of the English Premier League for the third time, and won the second place in the Super League for Newcastle United and the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.

In 1996, Shearer participated in the 10th European Football Championship held in the United Kingdom and played well. He scored five goals alone, became the best scorer in the European Cup, and was selected as the best team. It not only changed its image of being a layman, but also made a first contribution for England to re-enter the ranks of the world's top teams.

In 2000, Shearer scored the winning goal in England's 1-0 victory over Germany in the group stage of the UEFA Cup final, ending the 34-year history of the national team's defeat.

Even Jack Don sighed at the experience of such a legendary star.

He has the internal strength of Buddhism and has a great advantage over ordinary players. But even so, he did not have Shearer's results in the first season. Even if he is himself, he dares not say that he can definitely achieve such a result. Hiller is indeed a rare genius scorer in a hundred years. No wonder he will become the current year of England. The idol star in the hearts of light players.

Competition with such a star in the same city is really exciting. Unfortunately, Shearer is old...

Don Jack thought it was a pity, but Shearer was very generous. The first thing he came to the stadium was to catch up with his friends in Liverpool. His friend was Haipia, who were former teammates.

In the old days, Haipia did not forget to introduce his teammates to Shearer. You know Steven, as well as Milan, Harvey... And..."

After introducing a pass, Haipia pulled Don Jack and said to Shearer, "This is Jack. You must have heard his name."

Shearler's appearance is simple and simple, which gives people a kind and steady feeling. He walked to Don Jack, shook hands with him and said, "Jack, I can call you that. You are really excellent. You can score so many goals in the league. I asked myself that I couldn't do it a few years ago."

"Thank you!"

"You are really a genius."

After saying this, Shearer suddenly pulled Don Jack aside. Don Jack was a little confused. After taking more than a dozen steps, Shearer smiled and asked, "Do you know what my biggest dream is?"

Jack Don asked, "Dream?"

"Yes, a dream. My biggest dream is to lead the England team to win the World Cup. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it, but now there is nothing I can do..." Shearer's expression was a little sad, and he seemed to be recalling the past.

"But..."

Shearer waved his hand and said, "I know about you."

Jack Tang was stunned and suddenly appeared, like Alan. A legendary shooter like Sheiller must have other news channels, and it is not surprising to know that he has a relationship with the FA. "I will try my best."

Seeing this tacit understanding, Shearer laughed, "Come on, the results of the England team are not good now. I hope you can try to lead the team to win one by one."

Jack Don nodded, "I will... But..." With this, he stopped and said, "I'm not for the England team, but for myself. Everyone wants to touch that trophy."

"Haha, young man, you are very honest." Shearer shook his head with a smile and said, "But now we are opponents. I really want to see your strength, so we'll see you on the court."

"No problem, we will definitely win."

"You are really arrogant, but you have to have strength."

"Of course."

After saying that, Jack Don waved his hand and Shearer high-fives, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

※※※

For this game, Benitez's estimate is still slightly insufficient.

Newcastle United's performance this season can be said to be a mess. In their season worth celebrating, the team has faced the dilemma of relegation. The media have rumored that the old coach Robson is likely to be removed by Newcastle United in winter, and even his replacement has come out. It is the famous coach Sonness, who is temporarily idle at home. .

The alternation of handsome seals is at Christmas.

This may be the last game led by Robson. After the game, the coach will retire. This game is more meaningful to Newcastle. Therefore, Newcastle United fans are surprisingly peaceful today. There is no momentum to contain the Liverpool bus before the game. They all watched the game silently, only At the critical moment, cheering for the team is a farewell to coach Robson.

But Newcastle's strength is beyond doubt!

The combination of the two front lines: Cruyvitga Alan. Shearer!

These two names can shock a person. Their names are much bigger than that of Henry. Even now that Shearer is old and has no peak strength, Cruyvette was sent to England by Barcelona because of his unstable state. But there is no doubt about their creativity, saying that they are nine. It is not too much to be the world's top football genius in the decade.

In the 17th minute of the game, just after the tentative attack of the two teams, Dair, who carried the ball on the right, skillfully divided the ball. Cloonevitt went straight into the penalty area from the right side and passed the ball to the front end with a foot clip. After that, Hiller went straight up. The first kick sent the ball into the net.

Cloonevette's passing action made the Liverpool defender completely unreacted. Even the main goalkeeper Dudek, who had just returned, was stunned on the spot, just watching the football fly by.

"Gooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Alan-Shirler--"

The live commentator shouted wildly: "Alan - Shearer -, it's Sheiller the Great again! Look, Shearer ran to the coach's bench, and he gave the goal to head coach Robson!"

"Although there are rumors that Shearler and Robson have a conflict, and Shearer also expressed his dissatisfaction with Robson's conservatisfcy this season, the relationship between the two for several years is unquestionable. Robson is about to leave, and Hiller gave the goal to the coach."

The big lens also flashed the lens of Shearer and Robson at the right time. The handsome Robson hugged Hiller tightly, his eyes were full of hazy, and tears overflowed from it.

A very touching scene!

But this has little to do with Liverpool. Liverpool players are marveling about Shearer's goal just now, and even Don Jack gave Shearer a thumbs-up: "What a good shot."

Other players are lamenting Cruyvet's pass.

The angle of the station is different, and the focus is naturally different. Cruyvet's pass is very clever, almost reaching the extreme of fancy football. It is not too much to say that it is juggling. Such a technology will definitely be sought after, but Don Jack looks at Hiller's shot near the penalty area line just now.

About 17 meters, the distance is not far.

However, Jack Don saw clearly just now that Shearer rushed forward at the moment the ball came over, and then the action of swinging his legs and shooting at the goal was completed in one go. All the movements were not wasted. When the teammates did not react, they shot directly.

The requirements for technology, eyes, timing, etc. are too high.

Perhaps it was Cruyvit's pass that covered Shearer's shot, or the fans didn't pay much attention to these technical problems. In short, Hiller, who scored the goal, became an embellishment.

But anyway, I lost for a while.

After Newcastle United celebrated the goal, Don Jack stood in the middle circle and stepped on the ball, looking at Newcastle United's half and looking at Alan on the opposite side. Hiller has a feeling of fullness of war. If Hiller was regarded as a retiring star just now, Don Jack has raised Hiller to the height of his opponent.

An opponent of an English legendary star?

It's very challenging.
