Chapter 512 Destiny's Opponent

After winning the FA Cup, there will naturally be a draw ceremony for the quarterfinals.

A day after the game, Sones and a board member of the club went to participate in the draw ceremony of the top eight of the FA Cup. This ceremony is often held. Because there is a draw in every round of the FA Cup, there is not much media coverage, and most media just report the result.

Many people don't care much about this, but after this lottery, it was a little sensation!

Almost all the English media reported on the draw, just because of the FA Cup quarterfinals, Newcastle United met Chelsea!

When he learned of this result, Sones was still depressed. Chelsea coach Mourinho was directly furious. When he was interviewed outside the draw ceremony, he said bluntly, "I doubt the fairness of the FA draw this time!"

Newcastle United doesn't want to meet Chelsea, and Chelsea also doesn't want to meet Newcastle United!

Newcastle United is currently in a bad situation, and Chelsea is not much better. Chelsea's bench depth is much stronger than Newcastle United, but they still have the League Cup and the more important European Cup to play. In the Champions League, Chelsea's opponent is difficult for Inter Milan, and Newcastle United's League Cup opponent Stuttgart is not a good team at all!

Now the FA Cup has met Newcastle United again...

For Chelsea, this is really adding insult to injury. Mourinho was gloomy in the league, doubting the impartiality of the FA in front of a group of reporters, and said loudly, "I believe many people have the same opinion as I do! The Football League should maintain the principle of justice!" After saying that, Mourinho ignored the situation at the scene and turned around and walked away.

That back looks very chic...

In the afternoon of the same day, Ian, CEO of the Football Federation. Watermore held a special press conference and criticized angrily at the venue: "His practice is a serious insult to the FA. We will discuss the results as soon as possible, and we will definitely severely punish this kind of 'thug' who has no gentlemanly demeanor and casually abuses the FA!" Sure enough, the next morning, the FA's punishment was introduced: a fine of 200,000 pounds for Chelsea Club and 50,000 pounds for Mourinho himself.

This kind of high ticket is really rare, but for Chelsea, who is very rich, it is a drizzle. No wonder Mourinho always dares to do amazing things, because he has a strong backstage support, fines are fines, and it doesn't matter at all.

But this behavior can't change the fact that Newcastle United and Chelsea are about to meet in advance in the FA Cup.

Sones wanted to give up the FA Cup, but now his opponent has no reason to give up Newcastle United!

Chelsea!

The biggest competitor in the Newcastle United League!

When the two teams meet in the FA Cup, it is no longer a problem that the two teams can solve. Even if Chelsea wants to give up the game, Newcastle Lenovo gives up the game, or both want to give up the game, but when the two teams meet, it is 'die and die'. No one can give up, just because the two teams are United. The biggest competitor!

The victory or defeat of this game is not only the winner of the top eight of the FA Cup, but also improved to the league confrontation between the two teams. It is also very important to compete for the league championship outside the court. For the image of the club and the positioning of the English fans, the two teams must also fight to the end.

This is like Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain. The two teams are feuds, and the hatred of history has been left to the present. No matter what the competition is, what position the two teams are in, as long as they meet, it is a life-and-death game. There is nothing to say. Although Newcastle United and Chelsea can't play to that extent now, the biggest competitor in the league, this title is enough!

When the league and the Champions League are in full swing, an FA Cup quarter-final has aroused the enthusiasm of the English media early. Many reporters went to London and Newcastle to interview the players of the two teams respectively. They want to provoke the nerves of the two teams to compete for the league championship through the players of the two teams.

"I think I have a good relationship with Chelsea." When interviewed, Don Jack said such a sentence with a smile, and many London media immediately smiled. They felt that the brunette boy was showing goodwill to Mourinho, if... In case... He will appear at Stamford Bridge next season, which is really wonderful... Unfortunately, Don Jack's next words brought them from fantasy to reality: "When I was in Liverpool, I was competing with Chelsea for the championship, whether it was the league championship or the Champions League. And now, when I come to the beautiful Newcastle, my opponent is still Chelsea.

"They are very strong and a good opponent, but we are not bad. And I don't know if you remember, I've always kept a record..."

Facing the confused eyes of the reporter on the court, Don Jack said, "In Chelsea's game, as long as I play with my opponent, Chelsea must be the losing side."

"I don't think there will be any exception this time..."

※※※

I think there will be no exception this time..."

The Sun, which has always supported Don Jack's, regards this sentence as the headline on the front page of the sports news. Don Jack's tone is very calm, but the meaning in the front is aggressive. The Sun regards Jack Don's words as the beginning of the competition between the two teams.

Not only on-site, but also off-site!

Mourinho and his Chelsea have never been the party to suffer losses. This is the case on the court and off the court, especially the Portuguese. I haven't heard that any guy can get a discount under his mouth. Many media began to expect Chelsea's counterattack against Jack Tang's words.

It's a pity that they are disappointed...

When asked about this, Mourinho didn't seem to hear it at all. He just smiled. He seemed to disdain Don Jack and Newcastle United, but I'm afraid only Mourinho knows what it is.

In fact, the Portuguese no longer want to refute.

He wants to talk about facts!

It's good to win the game, but the current situation is that when Don Jack plays, Chelsea is the losing side. How can Mourinho comment on this result? Although it is also very useful to say something off the court, what is more important is that you can't win the game on the court, just take advantage of it. Such a guy will not be valued by the media and fans.

They play football, but they are not slippery politicians!

For a football match, you still need results!

※※※

The Chelsea side is dissatisfied, and Newcastle United is also very dissatisfied.

After the lottery, Sones was already a little 'tangled' and more entangled. As the head coach, his psychological burden is much heavier than that of ordinary players, because he has to consider more problems, a lot of information analysis, and choosing the best way to deal with things, which is a very complicated problem. In the FA Cup, which was supposed to be given up, the opponent became Chelsea, and things became even more complicated... Because of this opponent, almost all European media have paid attention to this side. The 'league final' staged in advance can attract too many people, and Newcastle United naturally has no reason to give up the FA Cup.

This is related to the image of the club and the impression among fans around the world.

Nevertheless, Sones did a good job on the trivialities of some teams. The next day, in order to relieve the psychological pressure of the players, he especially favored a famous Newcastle psychologist to do psychological decompression and soothing work for the players.

Most of Newcastle United players have not experienced a similar severe period. At the end of the schedule, in the face of several championship-related games, they are likely to be nervous. Sones is afraid that the players can't help but play under pressure, and it is necessary to take precautions too early.

This has nothing to do with Don Jack.

In Liverpool last season, thinking that he was about to win the championship and perform in front of the world's fans, Don Jack really has a little pressure, but now, this is not an obstacle for him at all. There is no difference between the final and the league in the day, as long as he plays his own level. That's enough.

That morning, he accepted an exclusive interview from a Chinese reporter.

Generally speaking, Jack Tang rarely participates in interviews with TV stations like this kind of TV station, but the Chinese reporter in front of him is from Oriental TV (TV) and is very familiar with Jack Tang. At the end of the schedule, he asked to interview Jack Tang at the end of the game, but he did not resist. After all, he is also a Chinese citizen, and those blonde, Purple-eyed and green-eyed guys naturally have to treat them differently. What's more, Jack Tang has a good impression on Chinese fans. He believes that Chinese fans are really his own fans. These in Europe always feel a little illusory.

However, Don Jack's time is also very tight. He not only has to participate in the club's training and competitions, but also has to deal with all kinds of tedious things in his private life. Therefore, the interview time this time is only 20 minutes, and the Oriental TV station has to pay 30,000 pounds for the interview.

Thirty thousand pounds is very cheap for Don Jack's current value. "This is a discount..." Agent Maximilian said so when he received a request for an interview.

What's more, Jack Don also needs to establish an image in the East, and the interview is mutually beneficial to both sides.

But in fact, Oriental TV took advantage of it. There were also two TV stations that were originally interviewed by Jack Tang. One is China's media giant and a TV station from the central government, and the other is Japan's Sanheyuan Sports Channel. The three TV stations have the most advantage in competing with the central TV stations, while Japan's three Heyuan Sports is the most funded. In just a 20-minute interview, they contributed 550,000 pounds, which is equivalent to the one-year sponsorship fee given to Don Jack by ordinary medium-sized enterprises.

But Maximilian finally chose Oriental TV.

Originally, according to common sense, Jack Don would definitely choose CCTV, which would not be too low, but when he heard Maximilian's words, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: the people from CCTV are really rude. They not only don't pay, but also ask Jack Don an hour before the game with Chelsea. Come and do an exclusive interview. This request is obviously for their live broadcast before the war, but it is unacceptable for Don Jack and Newcastle United.

Moreover, the 'leader' from the central TV station looked arrogant. Maximilian said well according to the businessman's principle, but he had already marked them 'X' in his heart.

As for Japan's Sanheyuan Sports, the requirements put forward are very good. The people who come are also very 'polite' and are willing to pay a lot of money. Unfortunately, they are Japanese enterprises. Don Jack has no Chinese people to resist the emotions of Japan, but if people from their own country come to interview, they will naturally not refuse to accept the Japanese pirates, and three Heyuan TV Station is not very influential. It only occupies a small market share in Japan, and there is no need to be interviewed.

Originally, Oriental TV has given up a little. They still have some confidence in competing with Japanese enterprises, but the hope of competing with the central TV station is too slim. In China, all kinds of commercial competition is not as simple as it seems. The central TV station is fully supported by the government, and naturally has a great competitive advantage. They I'm about to give up.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the rich-faced German young man (Maximilian) agreed to their request, which was really a surprise.

After receiving the news, Oriental TV has been preparing and has started a lot of publicity.

So in the near future, all channels of Oriental TV often see such advertisements at 8:30 p.m. every night: "On February 26, please look forward to the interview program of European superstars!" Next is a large introduction. At the end of the screen, under the background of black reflection, a name "Li Tanglong" is typed.

'Li Tanglong' is the name of Chinese fans after translating Tang Jack's name. The English translation of 'Jack' into Chinese means 'Dragon', 'Don Jack. Li' can be translated into 'Li Tanglong'. Many fans don't get used to it, so the name 'Li Tanglong' soon became popular all over China. Most fans know to use this name to call Jack Tang. Naturally, Oriental TV is no exception. They have to adapt to the emotions of the audience.

I have to say that with Don Jack's current world influence, the effect of advertising the protagonist is still very high.

When this advertisement came out, the ratings of Oriental TV increased greatly!

Many fans have never heard of Oriental TV before, but when they heard the news, they all paid attention to it. The main reason is that there is only one column interview with Oriental TV. Even the central TV station has failed to interview Jack Tang. Everyone is indeed interested in TV.

In the next few days, Oriental TV continued to publicize until the day of the interview, the reporters and staff sent by the TV station to Newcastle were very nervous, in case... In case Don Jack stood them up, this basket will really be big. Although the contract has been signed, the liquidated damages are not high. If Don Jack doesn't come, just pay some liquidated damages, and their work will definitely be lost. This consequence cannot make them nervous.

And, this is a live broadcast!

No playback, no abridged live broadcast!

This kind of live broadcast is very rare in China. Most of the programs have been abridged before being screened. Even if the news is filmed, they just hope that Jack Tang can say less about ** things, but they think of the statistics of the TV station two days ago: there are at least 30 million fans waiting in front of the TV, and there are bigger ones. Some of them watched the broadcast on the Internet, public places and other places, and they were very excited.

This is a solid achievement!
