Chapter 473 Number of Goals and Losses
On the day before the game, there was no news between the two teams. In fact, the two teams seemed very calm. The players had just had a good Christmas and returned to the club for training the next day. At this time, many media are looking forward to breaking the big news. After all, this is a quite meaningful game, but Don Jack, Ou Wen, the two key players in the game didn't say anything. Don Jack didn't want to talk about Liverpool, and Owen naturally didn't want to. So the English media was disiled. The two teams were kind, even the coaches were the same. The fans seemed to have a similar feeling. Newcastle United fans hoped that the team would win. Li, that's all. There is no other comment to report.
It was not until Newcastle United's bus stopped in the parking lot of the mixed area of Anfield Stadium that the players felt the difference from the ordinary league. The mixed area had long been full of reporters. As the first focus battle of Christmas, due to the winter break of other leagues, the whole world had nothing to do. All the sports reporters came to England and Liverpool to cover the upcoming war at Anfield.
Jack Don has seen many Chinese journalists in the reporter group. Since he came to Newcastle United, he has kept a low profile and rarely received interviews. Chinese reporters have seen them, but have not received special interviews. He has seen the reporters of Sports Weekly. He knows these two people. They have interviewed him. Jack Don said hello to the other side, and then followed his teammates to the Liverpool away team's locker room.
"Jack!"
The BBC radio reporter saw Jack Don. He thought he was hitting him, which made him excited for a long time and kept bragging about his friendship with Jack Don. "I once interviewed Jack in person, but I didn't expect him to remember me." He said so.
Today is the 26th, the first day of the 18th round of the Premier League. There are still six games scheduled for tomorrow. At the same time, there are only four games in the Premier League. Chelsea and Manchester United are all tomorrow, so this game has become today's only game.
It is also because of the time difference specially adjusted by the Football Association that this game will be broadcast live in 136 countries around the world. Of course, China will be one of them. There are many Chinese journalists who come to the stadium, some are private website reporters, some are big website reporters, and many reporters from various TV stations have also come. China's imperial TV station also put eleven cameras on the court to fully report the game.
Rouse came to the small square in front of the Anfield Stadium in the morning. At noon, many fans had gathered in the square, most of whom were Liverpool fans. They wore red jerseys, held Liverpool's flags in their hands, and kept waving to prepare to enter the stadium to cheer for Liverpool.
Rouse was wearing a white No. 10 jersey. At first, no one noticed it, but by noon, many people had gathered around Rouse, about five or six hundred. They were wearing white No. 10 jerseys, and some people still held up a flag and did not open it. Such a scene made reporters excited, Ma Some reporters went there to interview.
"We are Jack's fans!" Rouse shouted excitedly and said that he was already looking forward to the game!
Rouse also asked the reporter, "Did you see Jack inside?"
"Of course, he got out of the car and went in before." A Chinese reporter replied.
"That's good! We are here to cheer for Jack today!" Rouse said, waving his hands and shouting, "Brothers, go in later and shout neatly. We have to shout out the momentum of the Jack Fan Association!"
"Okay, OK!"
A reporter interrupted Rouse's speech, "Excuse me... Aren't you Liverpool fans?
"Of course!" A strong man next to Rouse punched his chest and said, "Don't you see that we are wearing Liverpool jerseys? We are loyal fans of Liverpool. You are insulting us!"
The reporter was obviously scared by the strong man, and a Chinese reporter laughed and asked, "Then why do you come to support Jack?"
"We are from the Jack Fan Association!"
"But this is the match between Newcastle United and Liverpool. Jack belongs to Newcastle United... He is a Newcastle United player, if he performs well..."
"Jack is doing well. We will be happy. We support him, but we don't support Newcastle United. We are Liverpool fans."
After explaining, the reporters around him generally understood what it meant. The BBC radio reporter immediately asked a ** question: "What do you want the best score?"
"score?"
This fan has already had the answer. Of course, they want Liverpool to win, but they also hope that Don Jack will perform well. In such a contradictory heart, they don't think about the score at all, or Rouse answered this question: "We don't care about the score. We just come to support the team, no matter which team. Winning is secondary. We hope to see Jack's wonderful performance, that's all!"
"Wh! This jersey shows our position!" Rouse pointed to his white No. 10 jersey and said.
Not a loyal fan, it is really difficult to understand what Rouse means, but after the warm-up and the fans entered the field, the reporters who came to Anfield saw that on the left side of Liverpool's Red Ocean Stand, where it should have belonged to neutral fans, there was a piece of white, and those were Tang Jie. The position of the supporters, these are Liverpool fans, but they are all here to support Don Jack, so they are in the neutral stands.
At first glance, there are at least about 2,000 people!
There are not so many people in the Jack Fan Association, but after the communication between familiar fans, many fans joined in, which made more and more people support Don Jack. When selling tickets at Anfield Stadium, such a group of people were especially considered, so such an area was divided. This situation made Liverpool The players felt very contradictory, and some people recalled the scene of Don Jack's game at Liverpool last season.
Think about last season, when it comes to Liverpool, all of Europe will give a thumbs up, Chelsea, Manchester United? Those were all Liverpool's losers. Even the head coach of the Blues, Mourinho, who had always been arrogant, had to worry for a long time when he met Liverpool. The only thing that greeted him was to lose.
The feeling on the court is more obvious. They don't have to worry about the team not scoring, just because of Jack.
What about now?
Look up at the opposite side, the No. 10 jersey standing in the middle circle. Liverpool players have a sense of unrealism. The two sides have become opponents. What they have to do is to fight to defeat the opponent and win. Can they really do it? Many players wavered.
Don Jack is very excited at this time!
He didn't expect that he would be treated like this when he came to Anfield, and even thousands of Liverpool fans supported him in turn. Before the game, he even felt that he would be verbally attacked by fans when he came to Anfield. He was prepared for all this. He was very moved. After entering the court, he especially went to the neutral fan stands to support his Liverpool fans to say hello.
"Oh, Rouse, how have you been recently?" He asked. Of course, Rouse couldn't hear it. He just saw Don Jack wave his hand to him.
After, both sides are ready to kick off.
※※※
The Sina Sports column specially invited the famous guest Huang Jianxiang to explain the game. Huang Jianxiang is upright and a professional in football, but his commentary is not 'standard'. Although he is very famous, regular TV stations rarely invite him to explain the game.
There is no such obstacle on the Internet. Many Chinese fans like Huang Jianxiang's commentary. Some of his views will inspire people and talk about his own feelings. This kind of real feeling is very welcome by fans.
"The next game is about to begin. Let's take a look at the lineup of both sides first."
"Liverpool's goalkeepers are still Reina, or Fennan, Haidia, Carragher and Riese. This defender line is almost unchanged from last season, and the midfield is the same, two full-backs Louis. Garcia and Cowell, the combination of midfielder Gerrard and Alonso, Liverpool's changes this season are still focused on the front line.
"Jack came to Newcastle United, and head coach Benitez had to find a replacement. He chose Crouch. This tall center has performed very well recently and has scored in two consecutive games. He was also selected for the England national team. He and Moreentes are experienced and conscious, plus the midfield team. Hold, strength should not be underestimated.
"It can be seen that Cise is sitting on the bench. Recently, Cise's performance is very average. The substitute has not scored on the field. It seems that his condition has been declining. But it's also a supplement to Liverpool's front line.
Huang Jianxiang chatted with the commentator for a few words and began to analyze: "The strongest team in the current Premier League is Chelsea. Newcastle United is a group of dark horses that have been black since the beginning of the season. This may not be called a dark horse. It should be said that the rich team has shown its true colors. Although Liverpool is at home, it takes a lot of luck to win.
"The formation of Newcastle United is nothing surprising. Jack started as a striker. Now he should be an all-round midfielder at Newcastle United, but his goal is still strong. Now he is ahead of Owen in ranking first in the Premier League scorer list. He and Irving are double forwards, two players, one top scorer list, one The second in the shooter list, this front line..." Huang Jianxiang smiled and said, "It's really a headache. Liverpool must do a good job of defense if they want to win today. Otherwise, the former Liverpool stars will bring them unpredictable trouble if they are in good shape."
At this time, with the whistle of the referee Haierxi, the whole game began.
"The game has just begun, and the two sides are testing each other. Let's pay attention to a few key players in this game." Sina's commentator finally spoke. Just now, Huang Jianxiang kept nagging. He didn't have a chance to talk. Now he has a chance to talk, and he began his speech.
With the words of the commentator, the screen shows a close-up of the players on the field and the data of each player in the first 17 rounds of the league. These data are from professional statistics companies, including nine data such as goals, shots, threats and so on.
Among them, every data of Don Jack is high, and only Owen's goal number and Gerald's pass number can be compared with Don Jack.
The key players of Newcastle United are obviously Don Jack and Owen, while Liverpool are Gerrard and Crouch. Compared with the four people, Jack Don is outstanding, Owen is outstanding in scoring goals, and the others are very ordinary.
"What do you think of these four players?" The commentator asked Huang Jianxiang.
At this time, the camera turned to the court. Newcastle United's first wave of attack advanced to Liverpool's penalty area. Owen passed the ball straight into the small penalty area line. Unfortunately, the follow-up full-back Luke ran a little slowly. He did not shake off the defender, and the football was out of the bottom line.
"The first wave of Newcastle United's attack created a threat!" Huang Jianxiang said something and turned to the topic: "It goes without saying that Jack's strength is in good shape recently, and he has also performed well in the national team. Gerard and Jack are almost the same. There is almost no time when they are in bad shape. Crouch has had an explosive intention recently. He has scored in a row, and it's hard to say this game.
Anyway, Huang Jianxiang means that the four players are very fierce, and whoever wins or loses depends on the game.
The commentator rolled his eyes and continued: "For Newcastle United's guard line, this game is also a difficult challenge. While they continue to win, they also keep losing goals in the backcourt. Whether it is against the strong team or the weak team, Newcastle United's goal loss has always been the focus, although they are now scoring points. It ranks second in the Premier League, the same as Chelsea's points, but the number of goals conceded is also ranked second in the Premier League..."
