Chapter 500 Chelsea and Newcastle United 1

After the game, because of the five-day break, Don Jack did not return to Newcastle with his teammates, but went to Chinatown with Sun Jihai.

The relationship between the two has always been good, and this is also the third time for them to play against each other.

Sun Jihai's performance in this game was very good. After the game, the harsh English media gave Sun Jihai a score of seven points, which was the second highest score for the whole Manchester City team. The rest was only Andy who scored. Cole's score is relatively high, while on Newcastle United's side, Don Jack's performance alone almost saved the team, which is naturally the highest score of 'eight' in the game. This score has a certain weight in the mouth of harsh Premier League commentators.

Of course, this does not affect the nature of Don Jack's dinner together.

"How about in the national team?"

The chat between the two is naturally inseparable from the topic of the national team. Jack Don has joined the England team and is preparing for the World Cup, while the distant Chinese team broke its wings in the World Cup qualifiers at the beginning of 2005. Hearing this topic, Sun Jihai could only smile bitterly, and the helplessness on his face was revealed.

Before 2002, Sun Jihai was one of the best stars in the Chinese team. In fact, he is now the first among Chinese professional players and the best player overseas. Dalian people call Sun Jihai the "invincible prince", and the fans call him the most comprehensive player in the Chinese team.

In China, Sun Jihai is indeed one of the few football geniuses.

At the age of 21, he transferred to the British Crystal Palace team and began to play in the overseas league. The perfect performance in the top ten has proved its value and has become the absolute main force of the Chinese national team. After the top ten, he landed in Manchester City at a sky-high price of £2 million and became the first person in China to land in the Premier League.

Such a performance can be said to be very good. At least in China, where football talents are scarce, players like Sun Jihai can be said to be equivalent to Yao Ming in basketball. His strength and fame are solid... Unfortunately, everything is unsatisfactory. Since Alihan took over the Chinese national team, Sun Jihai has made a leap... He became a substitute.

In recent years, Sun Jihai has been a substitute for the national team. It is difficult to imagine a full-back who plays the main force in the Premier League. When it comes to the third-rate national team, he has become a substitute, and it is a substitute in a fixed position. It can be said that he is a marginal figure of a team.

"..."

Jack Don doesn't know how to persuade him. In fact, he is imagining the feeling of joining the Chinese national team and then being treated as a substitute by the coach... That's really intolerable, that is, Sun Jihai is a good man. If he would definitely announce his withdrawal from the national team directly!

Jack Tang also has some understanding of Sun Jihai's ability. To be honest, it is difficult for such a defender to pose too much threat to him on the court, but compared with others, Sun Jihai's ability is not bad at all. Now he has become Pierce's most trusted main full-back of Manchester City.

What a pity....

Jack Don is far away, and he is glad that he did not join the team of his motherland.

I am much better. Although I have no sense of belonging to England, at least I can pursue the honor that many people do not have the opportunity to pursue. It is the supreme honor of football. This is a little selfish, but football is football. If the Chinese team is very strong and has the opportunity to enter the World Cup, he However, he did not object to joining the Chinese team. He also considered this aspect at that time, but it was too difficult to become a Chinese citizen.

Eight years!

Even if you spend money to find some relationships, you have to live for at least five years to get your nationality!

That's unacceptable!

For five years, for such a long time, Jack Tang can't guarantee whether he will be interested in football or in the professional football circle. After all, it's hard to say anything in the future. At present, he can only pursue something he wants.

※※※

After the game with Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle United are on the same level again, and the points of the two teams are the same. This competition is really difficult to imagine which team will win the final league championship.

For Newcastle United and coach Sonnes, fortunately, Dayle has recovered from his injury, Jenners has recovered from his cold, Shearer's injury has recovered, and he has begun to move freely on the court.

The injury of these players made Sones, who had been sad, take a long breath. At least in the next round, he doesn't have to have such a 'miserable' lineup.

Portsmouth!

This is an opponent who must score points!

A draw was immediately caught up by Chelsea behind them, and Newcastle United could no longer afford to lose!

The team understands this way, but Sones and Don Jack didn't expect that a group of new injured main players to play are actually not much better than substitutes. For example, Deir, long-term injuries make him very uncomfortable with the scene of the game, and the rash start of the game is a mess.

Dair's right side became the offensive center of Portsmouth!

The situation is more dangerous than the last game against Manchester City. Don Jack tried hard, but the team was too lazy to play. He had no choice but to do his best to score goals. The most helpless thing was the goalkeeper Ji Wen's continuous mistakes, and Newcastle United's goal was filled with three goals in the first half.

In the second half, Newcastle United performed better overall. Perhaps the main players adapted to the atmosphere on the field. After that, Don Jack scored two goals and Shearer scored a goal to equalize the score for the team.

Another draw!

This may be the worst game that Newcastle fans have seen at St. James Park this season. In the first half, Newcastle United was almost a funnel by Portsmouth. Although they performed well in the second half, it was already late. A draw brought Newcastle United not only disappointment in the game, but also It is the disadvantage of league points....

Fortunately, in the same match between Chelsea and Aston Villa, Aston Villa worked hard and eventually drew with Chelsea, so that Newcastle United would not fall behind again.

Perhaps Chelsea are in the same mood as Newcastle United.

After the game, Sones didn't say much, but expressed concern about the team's recent situation. He said, "The team is currently facing the biggest difficulties. The frequent injuries of our players have made the team's overall performance continue to decline. I hope the players can bravely overcome the difficulties and only have the courage to move forward. Only then can the team get back on track. Sones began to worry about the team's schedule.

It is not only injuries that affect Newcastle United's results, but also the intensive schedule. The League Cup club intends to give up, but there are also the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup. No one is willing to give up these two events. In the league, Newcastle United is glued with Chelsea, and no one wants to fall behind and be put on to the league. In the first throne, the pressure of both teams is not small.

Maybe Chelsea is under more pressure. They not only have a league, but also a UEFA Champions League game. It's nothing to be eliminated from the Newcastle United League Cup, but it's a pity to be eliminated from the Champions League.

Obviously, Mourinho and Sones have different personalities.

Newcastle United's loss is to lose. Soanes did not find any excuse, while Mourinho found many excuses to explain the reason why Chelsea lost. First of all, he began to complain about the referee.

The reason was a favorable penalty for Chelsea in the first half.

Terry's handball in the penalty area escaped the penalty, but Mourinho believed that it was this misjudgment that made the referee Stiles start to find a balance in the second half, and the penalty was obviously biased towards Villa.

"I'm dissatisfied with the referee. I know that (Terry's handball) should be awarded a penalty, but I would rather the referee awarded a penalty, and in the final stage of the second half, we should also get a penalty. I hope to see a normal referee in the second half.

"Our team members were pushed down in the penalty area, but they were not sentenced. Crespo kept being fouled during the top, but they were not sentenced. In the midfield, we were always awarded a foul. Someone must teach the referee that football can't have the saying of 'finding balance'. If you make a mistake, you have to avoid making another mistake, but the referee is implementing his law of balance. 'I made a mistake in the first half, so I will make a lot of mistakes in the second half in order to find a balance,' This is the truth of this game. "

"I don't think he is a low-level referee, but his performance was shocking when he blew Chelsea off. Last year, Drogba was fouled on this court but did not get a penalty. He was fouled in Hybri Drogba and did not get a penalty. Today, Robben encountered the same situation.

There may be some truth in such a statement, but the result of the game cannot be changed just because the statement is reasonable. Mourinho said this more to comfort his heart, right?

World-class masters, especially famous coaches like Mourinho, have a mentality in their hands for the game. After losing, they find that the game does not seem to be under their control, which will make him uneasy. Then they begin to find many excuses to prove the reason for the loss.

Naturally, in front of the media, he can't say that his team's performance is not good, but he can only say that the other team's performance is 'too good', or the reason is because of the referee, the media and even the away fans. In short, Mourinho always has a lot of excuses.

Fortunately, he has a boss who supports the team. He can get any player he wants, which is Chelsea's advantage.

is also a disadvantage of Newcastle United.

The business strategies of the two clubs are completely different. Newcastle United is mainly to make money, or the purpose of the club's existence is for fans, in order to meet the needs of all Newcastle United fans, shareholders, the municipal government, etc. The club is operated. Naturally, such a business philosophy does not allow the club to lose too much, so after the introduction of Don Jack, Newcastle United had little other funds to buy other players. When the winter transfer came, although Newcastle United was short of people, Sonness still did not have any transfer funds.

Chelsea is different. Mourinho can spend a large amount of money to meet the team's lineup needs, which naturally brings a lot of negative effects, that is, Chelsea's financial report is almost completely a loss.

On February 3, Chelsea Club released its financial report for the year 04-05. The results showed that the loss of the Premier League giant increased by 60% from the previous year to 140 million pounds (about 250 million US dollars). In the last fiscal year, Chelsea's loss reached 8,780. Ten thousand pounds, this number is already amazing.

English media analysis pointed out that such a large increase this year was negatively affected by some "accidental events", including the cancellation of sponsorship contracts with sports goods provider Enbao, a loss of £25.5 million, and the serious depreciation of two heavyweight stars Muto and Peron: Mutu in 2004 In October, he was investigated for using cocaine and was immediately fired by Chelsea, while Peron was loaned to Inter Milan until the end of his contract with Chelsea. Chelsea lost 24 million pounds.

But Peter, the CEO of the club. Kenion explained: "In a single transaction, we have suffered some pain, but in the long run, we are still fruitful. The overall loss situation is mainly due to some strategic decisions that require temporary concessions. Probably in the 09-10 season, we can reach a balance of income and expenditure."

The president of Chelsea Club revealed that Abramovich is happy with the club's financial progress: "He appreciates these long-term strategies, and he supports our current approach and future goals."

As a major shareholder of Russian Siberian Petroleum Company, Abramovich has spent 440 million pounds on the team's reconstruction after buying Chelsea Club in July 2003, of which 80 million pounds are used to pay off Chelsea's debts.

In terms of buying players, Abu has never hesitated to spend a lot of money. He has spent a total of 275 million pounds, of which 175 million was spent in the 03-04 season. During this period, Chelsea's performance has also steadily improved, winning their first league championship in 50 years, in the Portuguese. Under the leadership of Mourinho, they are moving towards the goal of the European battlefield.

The Blues have also made great achievements in business. Although they abandoned Inbao last year, they signed a sponsorship contract worth 100 million pounds with Adidas, which is obviously a forward-looking decision. In addition, it is reported that South Korean electronics giant Samsung also sent 5,000 for Chelsea's chest advertisement. A gift of ten thousand pounds.

Although this is generally the case, Chelsea's loss is still in front of us.

In contrast, Newcastle United, although the purchase of Don Jack will definitely make them not have income this season, the financial situation is good. In 0405, before Don Jack joined the team, Newcastle United's profit was 20 million pounds. You know, Newcastle United's ranking in the Premier League this season is the bottom. This kind of income is really amazing.

Compared by the two, the English media is more optimistic about the prospects of Newcastle United. After all, a well-run club is more dynamic than a club that relies on the rich. Look at Manchester United now and you will know that they have been the best club in England in the past decade.

But let's talk about the champion of this season....

It is still an uncertain topic for everyone. The current situation is that Newcastle United draws, Chelsea also draws, Newcastle United wins, and Chelsea also wins. The points of the two teams have not been more than five points since the beginning of the season. Up to now, it is still the same, and even the points are flat. Who can hold on to the end? The most eye-catching topic of football in England.
