King of Competition

Chapter 542 League Champion 3

After winning Basel and returning to St. James' Park in the second round, Newcastle United will not have any obstacles. Putting down the pressure of the UEFA Cup, Newcastle United returned to the league.

Wigan Athletic and Sunderland will not be the opponents who create obstacles for the team.

The English media generally think so, even Chelsea coach Mourinho. Before the start of the 34th round of the Premier League, Mourinho said, "I should congratulate them for winning the league championship. Newcastle United has not won the championship for nearly 80 years, and their performance this season deserves to win this championship. . "

The Portuguese admitted their failure!

In fact, in the current form, Chelsea really has no chance. It is impossible for Mourinho to expect three teams that are about to be relegated to win Newcastle United. Moreover, even if Newcastle United suffers three consecutive defeats, Chelsea's chances are still very small.

In fact, after the last round, Chelsea had no chance.

Such a victory makes people feel less happy, but the honor brought by the century-old crown still immerses Newcastle United. Don Jack is also very happy. Although he prefers challenges, the club's strategy brings the feeling of easily winning the championship trophy.

Of course, we will continue to win a few games.

In the 34th round of the Premier League, Newcastle United played against Wigan Athletics at home. This is a promoted horse who had just been promoted to the Premier League last season. They played a lot of good goals at the beginning of the season, but after a season, the disadvantage of the insufficient lineup of the promoted horses also appeared. No matter how they lost continuously, they fell into the relegation circle. Maybe.

In this game, all the main lineups of Wigan Athletic seem to want to play a good game at St. James's Park.

Few media fans paid attention to Wigan Athletic before the game. Even if they were on all the main lineup, Soness did not pay attention to it, just because Don Jack started. As long as Don Jack is on the court, it is generally difficult for this kind of small ball to pose a threat to the team.

But football matches are always unexpected...

In the first 30 minutes, the score on the scoreboard of St. James's Park Stadium was '0:1'. The home team was behind the former visiting team, Wigan Athletic surprisingly got a goal advantage, while Newcastle United's 30-minute bombardment did not achieve any results.

"Pay attention to the position!"

"Taylor, what are you doing! Keep an eye on people!"

"Fuck! Pass it more accurately!"

......

Jack Don's roar kept coming from the court. He didn't feel good before the game, but now Jack Don feels that his teammates on the court are too impetuous.

Newcastle United made the mistake of underesthe enemy!

It's not the fault of ordinary players. The whole Newcastle City is immersed in an atmosphere of winning the championship. Before the game, even the head coach Sones was a little impetuous. Just because the gap between a team like Wigan Athletics and the current Newcastle United is too big, everyone feels that there will be no surprise in the game, which makes people excited. The impatience has created the current game and all the consequences.

In the game, Newcastle United's players make constant mistakes, and there are frequent problems with them. Teammates often make low-level mistakes in defense, which makes Wigan Athletic get repeated opportunities. Don Jack even feels that if he continues to play like this, the media will not have to worry about nothing to report the next day: Newcastle United's home court If you defeat it, Wigan will win. Such news will definitely attract attention.

That's it. After 45 minutes of the game...

Not to mention the half-time break, Soness's roar in the locker room is also put aside. Don Jack personally feels that he can't go on like this. A season's efforts can't be ruined by the impetuousness at the end of the season. As the captain of the team, he must do something to make up for the team's performance.

The overall performance of the team is not good, so work hard by yourself!

He has been sticking to this view, and even seeing that the team's performance is not good. He is even a little happy. Although he knows that such an idea is wrong, he has his own performance opportunity. Jack Tang always has some inner joy. On weekdays, if he is too 'unique', he will be attacked by the media, and his teammates feel It's definitely not good. Generally, Don Jack seldom does that as the core of the team, so Newcastle United's offensive line will blossom more. Owen has a chance, Ameobi has a chance, Enzobia has a chance, Jenas will have a chance, and even Parker, who is in charge of defense, often has a chance to shoot.

But in this way, Don Jack's strength is limited.

Just like the situation in Liverpool last season, assisting teammates to score goals is not what Don Jack is best at. He is the best way to perform with his superior strength. This is also one of the reasons why he chose a small club like Newcastle United. In such a team, at least he can have more people. Performance opportunity, rather than integrating into a big team, as one of the eleven, which limits Don Jack's performance too much. He has always had a sense of restraint. That feeling is very bad, and now the team's overall performance is not good, which is his opportunity.

Wigan Athletics doesn't seem to know what they will face. The lead in the first half made the whole team full of confidence, but the game started again, and Wigan Athletic once again contracted its defense and tried to fight back defensively. They took such a lead in the first half. Newcastle United always made frequent mistakes on the offensive end, and Wigan Athletic had a chance to score. If they continued, they could really win a victory at St. James's Park.

The football passed to the foot of Henkutz again.

As a well-known player who has been promoted to Wigan Athletic, Henkutz's strength has made him the backbone of the defense. Since Grandma appeared in the national team on behalf of Switzerland and Japan in 1993, Henkutz has been concerned by many media. In the year of the century, he and Hepia's Liverpool have stabilized the backcourt. It even made most English fans remember his name.

Stable performance and his first-class body make Henkutz the core of Wigan Athletic. After joining the team, he almost played all the games of Wigan. He can be regarded as a model of the 'blue-collar public' in football. Naturally, his strength is also valued by major clubs. As the backbone of the defense, Henkutz is trusted by his teammates. When Wigan Athletic gets the ball, many people will pass the ball to Henkutz' feet as soon as possible, so that they feel very relieved, because Henkutz's stability makes him rarely make mistakes.

When Henkutz took the ball, he took two steps and wanted to pass the ball out.

Just now, Janus was intercepted the ball in the front court. Don Jack was helplessly trying to run back. Seeing that the opponent passed the ball to the foot of the central defender, he subconsciously ran two steps forward and tried to stop the opponent from passing the ball to the front court. The tall central defender with yellow hair left a deep impression on Jack Don. He knew that this guy was very stable. Heavy, naturally I don't want to take the ball directly.

However, when he saw Henkutz carry the ball forward, Don Jack's eyes lit up and hurried forward.

On the way forward, Don Jack felt as if he was hunting. He should move forward slowly, not let the other party feel threatened, and was ready to launch a fatal blow at any time!

Henkutz didn't realize what Don Jack was going to do. He just felt that the other side was going to force him to pass the ball. As a central defender, he naturally wouldn't stick to the ball. When he took a step forward, he looked at the front court and was ready to pass the ball to the left side of the front court.

This requires a big foot pass!

subconsciously, Henkutz kicked the ball a little more powerfully, but he didn't realize the consequences. While Henkutz was still looking forward, Don Jack's body rushed over like a cheetah. Henkutz was still a little unclear. In fact, he didn't expect the other party's starting speed at all. It was almost time for him to bow his head and prepare to kick off when the opponent arrived in front of him.

"Dangerous!"

The fans in the audience did not realize that Don Jack might grab the ball, but Henkutz realized that he watched Don Jack rush to him almost in an instant, and then poked the ball to one side between his right foot touching the ball.

Henkutz still rubbed the ball. The football was kicked by two forces and rotated in place, but the lack of force also made Hencourts unstable and almost fell to the ground. He watched Don Jack take another step, easily controlled the ball under his feet, and then swing his legs and shoot in place!

Don't want a single opportunity!

steal and shoot directly!

In Henkutz's view, this choice is really a little bold. If the opponent dribbles the ball ahead, it must be a single-knife opportunity, but for Don Jack, this kind of shot at the front end of the penalty area, less than 20 meters away from the goal, is no different from a single-knife ball. His strength and angle can make up for everything!

What happened in an instant broke out at St. James's Park!

Many fans just saw that the football was robbed by Wigan Athletics, and then turned their heads to talk to their friends, but when they turned their heads, they saw the football flying towards the Wigan Athletics goal like a meteor. The goalkeeper in front of the goal was stunned and didn't know why. It was the interpretation of this goal. The football was more than two meters from the left side of the goalkeeper. He brushed the left post and flew into the net.

Next, a tsunami-like roar broke out in the whole stadium!

###

"Gooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"The goal is scored! Goal!! Jack, Jack grabbed the Wigan Athletic defender and raised his foot to shoot directly to score the ball. He equalized the score for Newcastle United. Now it's the 56th minute of the game. At St. James' Park, with Jack's goal, the two teams won one!"

"Wone wonderful counterattack goal!"

"Jack's goal seems to be telling the Wigan Athleteers that you must always be careful of his outbreak, otherwise they will regret it!

This is Jack, the most efficient striker in the world!"

The commentator at the scene was particularly excited and was dull for the whole game. Now Don Jack finally scored a goal. He seemed to burst out the dullness just now with the shout. This goal was not very beautiful. In fact, from the process, it was a shot after a steal, but the goal was a goal, especially Newcastle. United's performance in this game is not good, and such a goal can bring great confidence to the fans and players.

Jack Tang, who received cheers on the court, was actually a little surprised. What he just thought was that he would take the ball to break through to find the opportunity, but the opponent sent him a "big gift" in advance. There was no reason not to accept it.

This goal is really nothing to celebrate for him. It's just a simple goal. There is no challenge. He hugs each other with his teammates. After raising his hand to the fans, he let his teammates stand up and prepare to start the ball again.

But what Don Jack didn't expect was how useful this goal was!

First of all, it is the Wigan Athletics that came to challenge at St. James's Park. The strength of the Wigan Athletics is not as good as that of Newcastle United, Newcastle United and an outstanding player like Don Jack. It is a great psychological pressure on Wigan Athletic as a whole. They played smoothly in the first half. The efforts of the whole team have created the lead just now.

However, more than 50 minutes of effort, just because of a "unable mistake" mistake, the two teams returned to the same running line, let them try harder to overtake... It's really difficult. Most Wigan Athletic players don't have much confidence. Many players are complaining about Henkutz for his mistakes just now.

In this regard, Henkutz can only look depressed. According to normal experience, the opponent has almost no chance at the ball just now, but...

"It's not my mistake, but the other party's speed is too fast!" His defense looks very pale.

For Newcastle United, this goal is also particularly important. They rarely play so hard in the league, and this game makes many players feel depressed, but now Don Jack has scored another goal for them, which makes them think of the strength of the team and regain confidence in the gap between the two teams.

The next game can be described as a "great turnover"!

After the tie, Newcastle United broke out with a 100% strength. Every player integrated into the game and worked hard to perform. Frequent fast attacks and amazing cooperation were staged one by one, which stunned Don Jack, who just wanted to lead the team to victory with his personal ability, and some of them cooperated with him to participate in it. He didn't participate in some of the cooperation at all, but the teammates on the field did it, and in ten minutes, the team got three excellent opportunities in a row, two opportunities at Owen's feet and one at Don Jack's feet.

Owen's shot was not as accurate as Don Jack. He only scored one goal, and Don Jack took the opportunity to score the goal.

The result was that Newcastle United scored three goals in a row in ten minutes. The "3:1" score made Wigan Athletic lost confidence, and the rest of the game became garbage time.

After the game, the media commented: "Newcastle United defeated Wigan Athletic in only ten minutes."

Sounds like a good evaluation, but everyone who actually watched the game knows that Newcastle United played the "stinky ball" for more than 50 minutes, but played well in ten minutes in the middle. As a result, Wigan Athletic could only surrender with both hands raised.

But anyway, the 34th round of the Premier League has passed, and Newcastle United has won another victory. After the game, many players did not go to celebrate the victory, so they asked the reporters about the other game they encountered. Naturally, it was Chelsea's game, because it was related to Newcastle United's early victory. If Chelsea failed, they could win the championship trophy earlier.

Unfortunately, Chelsea also won.

At Stamford Bridge, they easily defeated Bolton with two goals, captain John. Terry and Lampard scored one goal each, so that the difference between the two teams is still eight points, but with only four league games left, there is only a theoretical possibility for Chelsea to equal points.

Another noteworthy game is that Sunderland drew with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Sunderland is the next opponent of Newcastle United. Their game is naturally worth paying attention to. Perhaps it is because of the pressure of relegation. Sunderland's team showed extraordinary fighting spirit at Old Trafford. After Manchester United defeated Arsenal in the last round, they won four consecutive league victories. Ferguson only made two adjustments on the back line. Brown and Evra replaced Vidic and Silverster respectively. Solskja replaced Saha, who had an injured ankle, appeared on the bench. South African international Fortune, who will leave Old Trafford this summer. Heinze, who has been recuperated with a torn cruciate ligament since September last year, and Heinze, who has just returned, also appeared on the bench.

Such a lineup is gorgeous, but it is difficult to stop Sunderland's fighting spirit!

In the last few rounds of the danger of relegation, a point was also very important. Sunderland broke out with unprecedented fighting spirit and confidence. They worked hard all the game and finally tied Manchester United, an English giant away game. Almost all the fans and reporters who came to Old Trafford Stadium were shocked by their fighting spirit.

It's a pity...

At the moment when the whistle sounded, the Sunderland players heard an unfortunate news before they could cheer: because the other two relegation teams had won, Sunderland had unfortunately been relegated ahead of schedule.

The Sunderland player who defeated Manchester United away but returned disappointed has become a foil to explain the unpopular outbreak of this game. This is Newcastle United's next opponent, Sunderland, a team that has been confirmed to be relegated.

"Can Newcastle United easily win, one step closer to the championship?"

Many media are sure that Newcastle United can win, but Soness told the team to treat the game calmly. The last match with Wigan Athletic has become a lesson for the team. There is no loss in this game. He doesn't want to see the team make a mistake closest to the championship.

However, that's only within Newcastle United. For the whole of England, the public's view is that there is no suspense about the championship. All they care about is that Newcastle United can win the championship trophy a few rounds in advance. In this way, the public's attention naturally turns to next season. This season's league is destined to belong to Newcastle United. What about next season?

Newcastle United may still be a strong competitor, but Chelsea will definitely be one of the most powerful competitors!

Barack!

The German iron man with great influence in world football! Bayern Munich is currently the most valuable player!

"Never underestimate Barack, he is the soul of German football!" This is what German football emperor Beckenbauer said of Barak.

Barack, who was born in former East Germany, started his career as a player as early as the age of seven. At that time, he joined a small club in East Germany as an apprentice. When he was ten years old, he moved to a club called Chemnitz Football Club. Due to his good performance, Barak officially signed his first career in 1995. The player contract, he was only 18 years old at that time.

During his time playing in this club, Ballack played 49 games and scored 10 goals. At that time, he was praised as little Caesar for his excellent performance.

Then Ballack transferred to Kaiserslauten, who had just been promoted to the first group at that time. Although he only played 16 games in the first season, it helped him become a regular pick next year, scoring 4 goals in 30 games, which was a good result for a midfielder. During this period, he also played in the UEFA Champions League for the first time, but was eliminated by Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich in the second round.

In 1999, Barak joined Leverkusen, which proved to be the wisest decision in Barak's career. In Leverkusen, Ballack quickly established his core position in the midfield. His position in Leverkusen is often arranged after the cover of two strikers, so his ability to score in the back was immediately revealed and became a sharp weapon for the team to score goals. Led Leverkusen to the top of the Bundesliga in the 1999-00 season, but unfortunately, due to his defeat in the last league match, he was reversed by Bayern Munich and ranked second. In 2002, Leverkusen defeated many strong teams in the UEFA Champions League and made it to the final. Unfortunately, he was defeated by Zidane in the final and lost 1-2 to La Liga giants Real Madrid.

This also makes them the 'King of Sanya' in the eyes of fans.

Due to his excellent performance, Barak switched to Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich after the 2002 World Cup and won the Bundesliga championship for Bayern Munich many times, finally breaking his regret of failing to win the championship in Leverkusen. In the four years of Bayern, Ballack has played 152 games and scored 58 goals, becoming an indispensable core member of Bayern Munich. His status is tied with the veteran star, Kahn, known as the Lion King.

However, the team often loses in the European Champions League, resulting in Ballack has been out of the European Champions League.

But such a star is enough for the world to see his ability. As Bayern's best player, Ballack's transfer has always been the focus of media attention. Now that Ballack's name is put together with Chelsea, it has become the focus of almost all the media in Europe. There is no suspense in the league championship. Now, the situation next season will attract everyone's attention. Ballack and Chelsea are the hottest topics at present.

But has Ballack's transfer to Chelsea been decided?

In fact, as Chelsea's head coach, Mourinho is still very worried. In an interview with the media, he admitted that Ballack was not sure of his future.

Before that, many people thought that Ballack would transfer to Chelsea after his contract with Bayern Munich this summer. There is speculation that there will be no way to go. Ballack's arrival will naturally increase the Blues offensive and defensive ability, but how to coordinate his relationship with the team's boss Lampard is very heavy. Yes, if it is handled well, the Blues will be more powerful next season, but if it is not handled well, there will be internal consumption in the team, and no matter how powerful the warship is, it will break down. Mourinho should understand this very well. At this time, his handling seems very sophisticated. In an interview, he said, "Everything is unknown to us. He will continue to stay at Bayern, or come to Chelsea, or to Real Madrid, Barcelona... Of course, I like him very much, not just me, but every coach likes him. What a player. I think he is a very good player. Regarding the relationship between Barak and Lampard, the Portuguese continued: "If two poor players play together, there must be a problem." The implication is that there is no problem with Barack and Lampard getting along with each other.

Of course, Bayern, who was poached for free, must be very dissatisfied. Their manager, Hones, was not generous enough. He said, "Obviously, Barak chose to go out just for money." At the same time, he also believes that Chelsea's contract with Barak cannot be provided by Bayern. Ballack used to be Hornes' most valued player, but in the face of Chelsea's strong offensive, he also had to make concessions: "We really can't compete with bosses like Abu."

No matter where Ballack will eventually choose, it can be expected that he will definitely leave Bayern. Hornes also said helplessly: "I don't think Barak has any malice, and I don't think it's a mistake to choose to leave after working for Bayern for four years."

It seems that Chelsea can be a little relieved about Ballack's problem for the time being. With such a player to join next season, Chelsea's transfer is going well. In fact, Chelsea is becoming more and more influential in Europe, and they are not exactly the ruble army in people's eyes. Team, strong players like Ballack hope to win honors. From Chelsea's performance, it is a good choice to join this team.

It is reported that Ken Young, CEO of Chelsea, has revealed that the club has had a detailed conversation with him about Ballack's transfer.

To the surprise of the media, Barak himself confirmed the news. He said, "Indeed, Chelsea and I have had a serious conversation about the transfer." Regarding his future, the 29-year-old German midfielder said practically, "I'm 29 years old, and my contract with Bayern is about to expire this summer. My wish is to leave here and go abroad to seek greater breakthroughs.

The Germans' words were simple but unusually firm, and this was the first time he had publicly admitted his contact with the Blue Army. In an interview with BBC Radio, Ken Young also said, "Obviously, Barack is a great player. I think our conversation was very successful. We listened to each other's opinions and opinions, and the club also hopes that Ballack can appear on the Stamford Bridge.

Barack responded quickly, saying, "Stanford Bridge is a good stage, and I look forward to showing my ability there. Of course, I don't have any contracts with Chelsea at present, but I know I will go there.

The smart German did not forget to praise his "new owner". He said, "Chelsea is undoubtedly a top club. They play some top games every year." Later, Barak confirmed that he had reached a series of consensus with Blues coach Mourinho on the transfer. He said, "I talked to Mourinho and he has understood my opinion. It was a pleasant conversation for me. The words of the Germans are self-evident. In Barak's heart, the place to go this summer is no longer Chelsea's end.

Although it is just a player's transfer, it is not difficult to see that Chelsea has begun to prepare for next season under the hope of league competition. In contrast, Newcastle United is still preparing for the team's league championship. As for the situation next season, it is still too early for Newcastle United.

This may be the difference between big clubs and small clubs...

Compared with the two clubs, there is no doubt that Chelsea is a big club. They have rich funds and backup support, but Newcastle United does not. Up to now, Newcastle United is still in the "deficit". Because it cost too much to buy Don Jack last season, the team can only meet the league championship and work hard. After playing the League Cup, you can determine the income and expenditure of the season. At that time, you can consider the next season, which is at least a month later than Chelsea.

Fortunately, Newcastle United has done very well this season, and they can meet the league championship.

For Don Jack, these are meaningless. Although many players have now begun to consider staying next season, Don Jack has entrusted all this to Maximilian, and he tries his best to have a perfect ending for this season. The league championship and the League Cup championship are what he thinks he must get. .
