Chapter 491 New Journey

Newcastle United lost, and Chelsea have reason to be happy because they won.

In the 21st round of the Premier League at the same time, Chelsea beat Sea Ham 3-1 away from home. In this way, Chelsea scored three points more than Newcastle United in the league table.

Compared with Newcastle United, Chelsea is much more luxurious in the lineup. In order to keep the players' physical fitness, head coach Mourinho made a rotation. Gremi and Del Orno replaced Ferreira and the injured Gala, who had a thigh, respectively. Maclele rotated Good Yansen, Drogba rotated Crespo, and Duff replaced. Replace the former West Ham midfielder Joe, who was banned. Cole appeared, and Lampard started against his old club West Ham United.

Previously, West Ham had suffered three consecutive defeats at home, Benayong and Carl. Fletcher replaced Peleon and Newton in the first place. In this game, coach Mourinho brought only 19 players to Upton Park. It can be seen that he is confident about winning this game, but West Ham's strong style still made Chelsea suffer at the beginning. Essine, who was recently named "Premier League Blackfoot", was hit by West Ham captain Cork in the eighth minute. Black feet.

The other party kicked the outside of Essien's left leg. The Ghanaian returned to the field after receiving treatment, but lay down on the ground in less than a minute. This player, who almost broke Liverpool veteran Harman's leg in the Champions League, finally suffered from black feet.

Essien's sudden end broke Mourinho's previous tactics. In desperation, the Portuguese could only replace Good Johnson as the front midfielder and Lampard retreated. In the face of West Ham's tenacious defense, Chelsea's advantages on both sides could not be played. In addition, Duff had not found a feeling after returning from injury. The Blues' attack once reached a deadlock. It was not until Drogba's goal in the 80th minute that Chelsea sealed the victory.

Chelsea may have the same problems as Newcastle United. Due to the recent smooth dribble, there is some complacency within the team.

Including captain Terry and Joe. Players such as Cole and Crespo expressed their confidence in defending the league title in public. Cole said proudly after the game against Manchester City: "When we look back at the end of the season, we will find that this is the place to win the championship."

Cole, who was too proud, provoked Mourinho in the game against Birmingham. In the previous game, he also praised the coach who was "untouchable". After this game, he showed him a yellow card: "You play like this again. If you want to think about the entertainment audience not to think about the team, I won't have a chance. Play the next game!" Mourinho's remarks were not deliberately aimed at Cole. He wanted to keep the players calm through this beating. After all, the Premier League game was only half over.

At the same time, Mourinho did not forget to ridicule Soness. Now Ferguson and Wenger are no longer his opponents. Chelsea's opponents this season are only Newcastle United. "They are behind. This is our opportunity. I hope he (Soness) can think more about the players. Jack has played a lot in the whole game. Next, he is a world-class good player. He shouldn't kill the career of a good player. This statement was obviously saying that Sones was forced to play regardless of the physical condition of the players.

But Don Jack immediately replied, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Mourinho. I'm in good health. The next time I meet Chelsea, I will definitely be able to play, and maybe I can get a hat trick."

This kind of talk is not difficult for Don Jack.

Sones also said: "I have been thinking about the physical fitness and status of the players. Newcastle United is not like them. We don't have a lot of rubles support, but we have a complete youth training system, where I can improve a large number of excellent football geniuses." He is obviously satirizing that Mourinho can only buy people and will not extract talents from his youth training system.

This has also been affirmed by the English media!

Mourinho's approach made Chelsea strong quickly, but it is not good for English football, and it can be said to be bad, because England's young players can't get exercise, the whole Premier League is full of big stars from other countries, and young people will not have a chance.

Newcastle United's approach has been supported by many media. In England, Newcastle United's performance has been poor, but the support rate is still high, which is also a big reason.

※※※

With the two clubs spitting on each other, Newcastle United ushered in a new game, playing a make-up match at Middles Burle, Newcastle United and Blackburn.

The contradiction between the two teams is on the surface.

In the first half of the season, Don Jack and Blackburn played a big fight and were almost besieged by local fans on the road. The two teams were in the same situation. Many media began to nagging about whether 'violence' would happen again before the game. Four officials also came to the Football Association. They made a statement before the game. The referee's penalty must be strict, and if the same problem occurs again, the penalty will be very severe.

This is to warn players on both sides to pay attention to the mood of the game.

When the game started, all the media were disappointed, because there was no violent scene in the game at all. Both teams were very formal in the game, and the players on both sides had few small moves.

Newcastle United's lineup is not much different from the match against Tottenham Hotspur. It's just a change of defender, and Blackburn's lineup does not change much. After the players from both sides play, like the ordinary Premier League, there is no '** spark' to play.

Newcastle United still persisted in the attack and scored a goal in the first half.

In the second half, the two teams played again. Blackburn did not make a series of small moves when he fell behind. They were more stable than the general league. Even in the 60th to 80th minutes, Blackburn had a dangerous tackle in a row.

Their players are like good babies on the court.

Originally, the law enforcement referee of this game was ready to impose a severe penalty, but the game lasted for more than 80 minutes, and he did not even show a yellow card. Until stoppage time, Don Jack was pulled down by the opposing defender in the penalty area. The referee finally showed his role and gave Blackburn a yellow card.

After that, Don Jack hit the knife himself and rewritten the score to 2-0.

"Bing..."

The referee whistled the end of the game in time, and the make-up match was officially over.

As a result of the two-ball victory, Newcastle United moved back to three points in the league and went hand with Chelsea again. In terms of goal difference, Newcastle United also had a goal advantage and occupied the top position in the league, which made Chelsea very embarrassed: they were only in the list. After staying for two days, he returned to the second.

Before Christmas, the two teams were in a state of anxiety. Chelsea got all the points in four wins in the Christmas game, and Newcastle United also got 12 points in four wins and one loss in five games. Speaking of which, Newcastle United suffered a little loss, and the team used the opportunity to open the points in one less game.

After Christmas, the two teams are still going side by side.

This makes the championship competition this season particularly fierce. Similarly, the competition between the top four of the Premier League is also very fierce. Entering the European Champions Cup represents not only honor, but also money. Teams that can qualify in the Champions League group can earn at least 10 million pounds more, and play one more game in the knockout stage. It is also an income of millions of pounds. This large amount of money ** can't be moved by the club. The score gap between Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Charlton, Tottenham and other teams is not big. The highest Manchester United has only nine more league points than Charlton, but the English media is more optimistic about Manchester United and Liverpool to enter the top four. The main reason is that Arsenal's performance is slightly worse, Charlton and Tottenham's background is insufficient, and they are likely to make mistakes in the later stage of the league.

In such a tense situation, England's professional football league has also ushered in a truce. After the Christmas war, it is half a month's break, which belongs to the national team time.

After the competition with Blackburn, Don Jack followed the club back to Newcastle and was ready to go back to Germany to see her sister and Vanessa. Li Xue is working hard to study for a master's degree. There are many courses. She will be very busy in the past six months, and Vanessa is devosing herself to her film career and is out of control. This little Women are busy with their careers all day long, so Jack Don can only smile bitterly, but not to mention in Europe, movie stars in other regions are the same. Work will be very busy, and there is nothing he can do.

Jack Don doesn't blame them. After all, everyone has everyone's pursuit, and it is impossible to be a little woman at home because of his love. He won't like such a woman for a long time.

But in the end, Don Jack didn't go back, because that night, the Newcastle Club received a notice from the England team---

"between Jack. Lee's excellent performance in the Premier League is here to recruit Newcastle United striker Jack. Lee joined the England national football team!"

The notice to Jack Don was a private call from England's head coach Eriksson. Jack Don was also surprised by the strange phone call, and there was already an old man's greeting.

"Is it Jack?"

"Oh, hello!"

"I'm Erikson, the head coach of the England team. After my long observation, I think you are enough to join the England team and contribute to national football!" Speaking formally, Eriksson smiled funnyly and said, "The above is just an official statement. I'm calling to inform you that we will have a friendly match at Wembley Stadium in London the day after tomorrow."

Jack Don was overwhelmed by this sudden change of kindness. He hurriedly said, "Oh, I know."

"Young man, don't be nervous. You've been waiting for this news for a long time."

"It's a little unexpected. I think you will let me join the team before the World Cup."

There was laughter from the phone, "No, of course not. With your ability, it's enough to join any team in the world. The reason why I'm notifying you now is that the team has been playing the World Cup qualifiers before, which ended two months ago, but the FA group... Well, they think it's better for English football to announce the news after Christmas.

Jack Don shook his head helplessly. In fact, he thought it would be better later. He was going to go back to Germany. "Okay, sir, I'll go."

"Then I won't bother you. See you the day after tomorrow."

"Bye-bye."

It's not a pleasant thing to chat with an old man. When he hung up the phone, Don Jack went to the supermarket to buy some industrial food and went home. When he got home, he directly turned on the computer, searched for today's English football news, and soon found the news about Eriksson's recruitment of players to the national team.

This time, players are only temporarily called for the warm-up match. On the list released, players from other leagues such as Beckham and Hargreaves have not been able to enter. The list is full of players playing in England, including Liverpool's Crouch and Manchester United's Wayne. Rooney, Manchester City's striker Wasser and Don Jack himself.

After a general look at the list, Don Jack found that most of the players came from Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea. Among the players of Newcastle United, only Jenas and himself, even Dair did not enter the lineup. Because Owen was injured, Manchester City's Vasel got a chance instead.

For the New England team list, many English media are discussing vigorously, such as Rooney and Crouch. Almost no one said anything, just a icing on the cake. Among the media topics, only two news are the most eye-catching, one is Don Jack's joining, and the other is some sidelines. The joining or the loser of the players.

Jack Don's joining the England team naturally became a topic, but before he played for England in the world A-class tournament, in fact, Don Jack was free, and he could also choose to join other national teams.

Some media are still doubting whether Don Jack will report at Wembley Stadium, and more media are discussing where Ericsson will put him after joining the England team.

The current four strikers are naturally different with Don Jack.

On the original England team's front line, Rooney must be the main force. The other position is usually Owen. If Owen can't do it, Crouch will be on the top. Although it's just another choice, because Owen and Crouch are completely two different types of strikers, the offensive style will naturally change a lot. Hua.

Don Jack is an all-round striker. Everyone knows that in fact, Don Jack is more threatening outside the penalty area. His long-range shot will definitely become the most favorable weapon for the England team. With Don Jack, Gerald and Lampard's free throw rights will be affected. Don Jack will be the team's chief free kick and penalty kick player. .

In terms of play, Don Jack is bound to occupy a main position. The Sun believes that Erickson will consider playing 451, put Don Jack in the midfield, and use Rooney or Crouch as the front forward. In this way, Don Jack is naturally guaranteed on the offensive end. Looking at Don Jack's performance in Newcastle United's defense, he will also be an important core of the team's defense.

The Guardian, which has always been contrary to The Sun, believes that Eriksson will put Don Jack on the front line. If it is a single striker, Don Jack will replace Rooney as an arrow. In this way, the England team does not have to worry about not scoring goals, but does not have to worry about the defense. The England team's defense is very stable. Terry and Kan Bell's combination can cope with the attack of most teams.

There are different opinions about Jack Don, but before the real game, no one knows exactly what will happen. Only the head coach Eriksson knows.

Another discussion is about some edge stars of the English team, such as Pennant. In the past few years, there were three young geniuses in English football: Rooney, Pennant and Janus. Rooney has the highest achievements. He now steadily occupies a position in the England team. When Jenas is in good shape, he can also enter. The lineup, and Pennant lost the election this time.

When watching the Leeds United game, Erickson's evaluation of Pennant was also very good, which made the media list Pennant as the most likely to be selected for the national team, but he was still defeated. According to the analysis of Manchester Sports, this was due to Pennant's personal life problems.

Pennant's skills are good, but he is always drunk and makes trouble, and all kinds of lace news are also followed. Such a rotten private life may have become Eriksson's consideration. After all, no one wants his team to have a time bomb.
