Chapter 426 The First Home 1
However, it is not clear whether to win or not before the game. When the West Ham United team came to St. James's Park, the match between the two teams was imminent.
St. James Park is located in the north of Newcastle City. Five hundred meters east is the Tyne River. On the left is Northumberland Road, the commercial street in the city center. This is the most important commercial street in downtown Newcastle. There are many shopping places. To the west is Elton Square, which is unmatched. At the time of the game, there will be many pedestrians and tourists next to St. James Stadium every afternoon. This day is the first home stadium of Newcastle United this season. St. James Stadium has become the most lively place in Newcastle. In the morning, crowds gather in Elton Square, and pedestrians come here to ask New York. Does Castle have any special activities?
"Today is the game of Newcastle United!" Some fans answered like this.
In the swarming crowd, many people are wearing black and white jerseys at Newcastle United's home this season, and some fans still have the logo of Newcastle United on their faces, showing extreme enthusiasm. "I really want to see Jack playing up close!" This is the voice of Newcastle United fans.
The club bought the best players in the world, but most of the fans did not follow the team to London and entered the highbury Stadium. Naturally, they did not watch the game at close range. Now it is finally Newcastle United's turn to play at home. They have the opportunity to watch the game live.
Towards noon, fans began to gather around St. James Stadium.
By this time, both West Ham United and Newcastle United have entered the court, and Newcastle United came earlier. Of course, this is because of the advantage of the home court. The first team training ground is only two kilometers away from the court, and it can be reached in 1.5 minutes by bus.
After entering the court, Don Jack and Owen walked around the court together. Both of them watched the court carefully for the first time.
In the past, when I played in the Premier League, I didn't have much experience when I came to this stadium, but now I have become a member of Newcastle United, and my senses are naturally different. The stands on the four sides of St. James' Stadium are "Gallagat Stand" (the official name is the sponsor "Newcastle Beer Stand"), "Niashas Stand" (the official name is "Sir John Holl Stand" named by the former president and forever president), and "Millan Stand" (known as the 1950s). . Milly name) and "East Stand". In addition to the East Stand, the names of other stands represent a special meaning, and half of the East Stand is prepared for the visiting team. Newcastle United fans prefer to sit in seats shrouded in the history of Newcastle United.
Jack Don and Owen only walked around the court. When they returned to the locker room, the assistant coach began to urge the players to participate in the warm-up. When they warmed up, the fans had not yet entered the field, and the whole court seemed very empty. Jack Tang came to the court and just did a few shots. He felt that he was in a very good state.
After the warm-up, return to the locker room and other time. When Soness returns from the pre-match press conference, the game is about to begin.
At 2:25, both teams stood in the player channel.
In the player channel, it is inevitable that the players of the two teams watch each other. Of course, the attention of West League Ham players is Don Jack. The name of Mr. 60 million pounds can scare a large number of people to death. Don Jack alone is worth more than the whole team of West League Ham, plus all the young and replacements. The reserve players are still taller. It's strange that they don't pay attention to Don Jack.
"This guy doesn't have three legs..." Some Western United Ham players muttered to each other in a low voice.
Tang Jack, who was standing in front of him, almost sprayed blood. With his ear strength, there was no difference between this whispering and saying it out loud... But look at what he said, 'I don't have three legs'... This reminded Jack Tang of the scene last night. If she didn't have a third leg, how could the little girl be paralyzed and couldn't get up...
He looked back at the talking player, who was a young player with a tender face, "Okay, may Buddha forgive you..." In fact, there is nothing he can do when he thinks so. He can't emphasize that he has three legs.
This is the episode of the player channel. When the two teams played, Don Jack was not in the mood to think so much.
"Hula..."
Newcastle United fans cheered fiercely, which was completely for the whole team, and a large number of fans shouted Don Jack's name: "Jack, come on, score a goal for them to see!" Many fans shout so loudly that their teammates next to them are quite jealous, while West Ham United players all look at their main goalkeeper Carol. Newcastle United fans are a provocation to Carroll: shouting for the opposing player to score is a contempt for their goalkeeper...
It's small... Carol has this feeling. Under the voice of tens of thousands of Newcastle United fans, he will feel that he is very small, and then he does not dare to refute. However, in this case, sometimes even Jack Don can't refute. Even if he has courage, the result of rebuttal is an investigation by the Football Association: provoking the fans is wrong.
Fortunately, Carol survived to the beginning of the game. At this time, what he thought was to play hard and let these home team fans see that the door he was guarding would not be broken so easily!
※※※
Jack Don hasn't enjoyed the cheers of the home team fans for a long time!
The last two months in Liverpool were almost tormented. Head coach Benitez didn't let himself play, so he could only do training every day. The night in Istanbul was worth remembering, but there was only one. In fact, when the game came, Don Jack almost forgot the feeling of cheering for the fans. It is.
But now everything is over again. Although there are a batch of fans, there are really a lot of people!
The cheers from Newcastle United fans seem to be even warmer!
Standing in the middle circle, Don Jack looked around at the fans in the stands and smiled on his face. At this moment, he felt relaxed and happy. He didn't feel this in the last game at Haibury Stadium. It was because the stands were full of Arsenal fans who were 'feared' of him. Those fans regarded him as a butcher, constantly The goal will kill Arsenal's victory, and now almost all fans want him to score.
That feeling is naturally completely different!
"It's time for me to score!" He feels more motivated.
Before the referee blew the whistle, Don Jack had been enjoying the cheers of the fans. When the whistle blew, his spirit immediately focused on the game - West Ham United's goalkeeper Carroll, who was his only opponent in the game!
Yes, the only opponent!
"Michael, here!"
Don Jack kicked the ball to Michael behind him. Owen, just as soon as the West Ham United players rushed up, he suddenly accelerated over the two opposing players, and then immediately shouted to Owen.
"Received!"
Owen seemed to have regained his true character as a golden boy. He snapped his finger in the air with the ball and kicked it with a long pass.
※※※
Roy. Carol looks very calm!
Perhaps Carol's experience gives him such a calmness. His career is the most common 'blue-collar player' in England: first, he was promoted to League One, then played in the Football League Championship, and finally came to the Premier League. Carroll's career is to complete the first-level jump, and the peak period is the previous seasons. To the Premier League giant Manchester United.
Although, he is just a substitute goalkeeper...
But anyway, Carol has also been in a big club, and his vision is naturally different from that of players who have been in small clubs. Since he came to West Ham United, Carol has always felt that he is superior: although he is a free transfer.
In the face of Newcastle United, Carol has no pressure: this is just a declining rich family...
But the cheers of Newcastle United fans just now brought some trouble to Carol, 'Is it so easy for me to knock on the door I'm guarding? Even if the other party is Mr. 60 million pounds, so what!?', he has always been dissatisfied with Manchester United not renewing his contract and wants to do a good job to make Manchester United regret it.
When the game started, Carol was extremely serious!
'The other party's brunette boy passed the ball to his teammate Owen.', 'The football is at Owen's feet, and this guy wants to pass the ball. Oh, it's a long pass. The brunette boy received the ball again', 'He took the ball and jumped over his teammate's defender...'
"Oh, my God!" Carol reacted in an instant.
At this time, the black-haired boy opposite had already brought the ball to the front of the penalty area line.
"He can't shoot..." Carol thought, "If you shoot, it should be on the left..." He is predicting in advance.
In fact, Don Jack has long been ready to shoot. When he passed to Owen, he thought that Owen would pass the ball back. It turned out to be true. In yesterday's training, they practiced sneak attacks together. In fact, Don Jack is just a midfielder in this game, and Owen replaced Alan. Hiller acted as a single arrow, but Don Jack still stood in the free throw circle for the purpose of sneak attack.
Now I have taken the ball to the penalty area.
West Ham United was obviously unprepared for this. At the moment of kick-off, three players in their team even directly crossed the middle line to fight back. Other players were also careless at the beginning. Jack Don easily received a pass and passed a West Ham United defender, and then he had already taken the ball to the big The front end of the restricted area.
"Go in!"
I didn't even think about it. Jack Don just waved his leg and ejaculated!
When all Newcastle United fans did not react, the football had already roared towards the West Ham United goal...
Carol is still predicting...' His shot should be on the left. As soon as he finished thinking about it, he saw that the football had rushed to him. Carol subconsciously rushed to the left, but at the moment of jumping, Carol found that the football had rushed into the goal from where he had just stood.
"The goal is scored!?" How is this possible!?
Even Jack Don himself can't believe it... What the hell is the other party's goalkeeper doing...
