Chapter 273 Boiling City of Newcastle
Michael Owen has been a little annoyed lately!
Since he scored a hat-trick in England's match against Israel on September 8 last year, he finally got what he wanted and once again enjoyed the cheers of all Englanders!
Two years of firm belief that hidation has passed, and it seems that everything will go in a good direction... At first, fans also believed that Michael Owen, who finally broke out, would become Newcastle's gospel and flag!
However, things don't seem to go in the direction everyone wants - no matter how invincible Michael Owen is in England, his performance in Newcastle is extremely unstable... far from the national team!
It's just two different people playing football!
After 28 rounds of the Premier League, the lightning striker, who was highly expected by Newcastle fans, only scored 8 goals, 3 of which were penalty kicks!
Even in the last six rounds, Michael Owen has suffered a goal shortage for more than six hours in a row!
Newcastle's acting head coach Alan Shearer placed all the hopes of saving the magpie on Owen, but the "national team killer" did not perform as well as the 22-year-old James Milner at St. James Park Stadium... Some fans suspected that Owen was deliberately slowing off to ensure his He has enough energy to win honors in the national team... And this view has intensified among the fans. In the last two Newcastle games, Owen could even hear his boos on the stands of St. James Park when he took the ball... Owen felt that he had encountered it. Thousands of years of injustice!
Because whether in the national team or the club, he is going all out in every chapter of the game!
As a professional player who leads Newcastle's salary every week, how can Owen be passive?
In order to retain physical strength, do you perform in the national team?
This is bullshit. If you don't perform well in the club, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to be selected for the national team! Owen clearly knows what kind of person Li, the madman of the three lions, is!
Usually, if you don't perform well, even the Queen of Great Britain can't join the England national team!
But why can I always find the goal in the national team at the first time, and even if I work hard in Newcastle, I can't get a goal?
Owen feels that in addition to the stronger strength of his teammates in the national team, the most important thing is that the coaching level of Allardyth and Shearer is too low compared with Crazy Lee. He can't formulate the most appropriate tactics like Crazy Lee to give full play to the characteristics of each player... If only Crazy Lee could come to Newcastle to coach!
...Afternoon!
Newcastle team's Rigburton training base!
Bang!
In the group confrontation, Michael Owen received a pass from Alan Smith, shook the defensive Barbaroa, and shot the goal post with one kick... Falk, didn't score?
The team's bad record and his bad performance made the good-tempered Owen start to be a little anxious!
At this moment... "Hey, Michael, come here..." After standing on the sidelines of the court, acting head coach Alan Shear answered a phone call, he suddenly waved to stop the team's training: "That's all for today's training... Michael, go out with me..."
Five minutes later, Shearer quickly left the Rigburton training ground with Owen in his beloved Porsche!
In the car!
Owen was a little curious: "Hey, Alan, where are we going? Three days later, we have to go to Bailu Lane to challenge Tottenham Hotspur. The opponent's strength is not weak. If we stop training..."
"It seems to be about the sale of the club. Maybe we can meet the new boss of the club this time..." Shearer held the steering wheel in both hands and was a little absent-minded: "It is estimated that Newcastle will change its dynasty from tomorrow..."
"Is it so fast?"
Owen is incredible that the club can find a buyer to complete the sale in such a short time!
### St. James's Park Stadium is located in the most prosperous central city of Newcastle City. It is one of the iconic buildings in the whole city! Like many modern stadiums, it is mainly based on the main frame of steel structure. From a distance, the white bracket of the court and the columns supporting the ceiling of the stand flashed silver in the sun, like a palace of a god!
Shearer parked his Porsche Cayenne, which had been driving for five or six years, in the square parking space on the west side of the stadium, and then came to the glass hall with Owen and took the elevator to the chairman's office of the club on the third floor!
Don-Don-Don~~~~ "Please come in!" The voice of Chairman Martin Brighton came from the office!
After Shearer and Owen entered the room, they found Martin Brighton... But when they saw the two people around Brighton, Shearer and Owen were stunned... How could it be... "Newcastle God" Sir John Hall and the famous England coach madman Lee??
For... Why are they here?
Could it be... An ecstatic idea flashed in Owen and Shearer's mind at the same time... At his desk, Martin Brighton obviously expected such an expression on Owen and Shearer's faces!
To be honest, Brighton himself never thought that the two would jointly acquire Newcastle at the beginning!
Because no matter from which angle you look at it, there is no possibility for these two people to come together!
John Hall, the steel tycoon who saved magpie at the most critical time in Newcastle in 1992, has achieved the great revival of Newcastle with Kevin Keegan, which is more important than God in the eyes of Newcastle fans... Crazy Lee, the hot football team in the English football group for a year. The coach, because he led the Three Lions to advance to the 2008 European Cup in a round in a desperate situation, he became a new idol worshipped by the British Three Islands... One is a wise retired old man who is over the age of age!
One is a new coach wearing a mysterious aura to King England!!
Before that, there seemed to be no sign that these two incompatible people would come together! However, it was the two of them who joined hands to get the ownership of Newcastle from the "devil" Mick Ashley for 120 million pounds!
Is it really like Sir Hall said, because both of them will be full of love for Newcastle?
Martin Bryan can't understand the mystery!
However, it is obviously not suitable to think about these problems at this moment!
The purpose of letting Shearer and Owen come today is to say hello to the bosses of the two teams first and test the players' views on this matter!
"Alan, Michael, I want to introduce these two distinguished guests you are very familiar with in another way..." Martin Brighton smiled: "Sir John Hall, Mr. Li Tongfan, the two of them will soon become the new boss of Newcastle. I think you are very satisfied with this news. Isn't that right?
"..."
Owen and Shearer seem to have lost their language ability in shock!
####On the way back!
After a long silence, Owen finally couldn't help: "Alan, Mr. Rice Bucket will officially coach the team tomorrow. Will you stay?"
In Martin Brighton's office just now, everything has been said clearly - Sir John Hall and the madman Lee will join Newcastle together... And in order to avoid the team losing points and relegation in the next game, the madman Lee will also serve as the head coach of Newcastle as the national team!
In this way, Alan Shearer's acting coach will have to be removed!
But the madman Li also made a good suggestion: "Alan, I hope you can be my assistant coach... Er, look, in fact, I'm not as omnipotent as the media said. Stay and help me!! Even if it's for Newcastle..."
Li Tongfan said it sincerely!
And Alan Shearer suggested that it needs to be considered for a day!
Owen's only worry is here. In case Shearer chooses to leave... You know, if Shearer can stay, it is the best news for Newcastle and Li Tongfan!
Madman Lee partnered with Alan Shearer?
The invincible [God on the side of the football field] partner was once an unstoppable super scorer at St. James' Park. This is definitely an invincible combination in the world!
Shearer didn't answer Owen's question!
The classic Beatles' song "YESTIEDAY" flows low in the carriage, as if telling the two people about the beauty of yesterday in the lost green field... The melody is exciting and the voice is frivolous!
"Stay, Alan, you belong to this city, and Mr. Rice Bucket also needs you..." Owen, who has long been a madman Li's admirer, couldn't help being a lobbyist and reaching out to turn off the music: "I have a wonderful hunch that Mr. Rice Bucket really loves Newcastle. He wants to take Newcastle to Hui sincerely. Huang..."
Squeak~~~~Alan Shearer unexpectedly parked Porsche on the roadside, and then suddenly held the steering wheel and laughed... "Haha, Michael, ha ha ha ha ha..." Shearer slapped the seat of the car with one hand, and the other hand covered his stomach and burst into tears: "Haha, Michael Do you think I really don't want to stay? Ha~~ I'm just kidding. I want to see if there will be a nervous expression on the face of the madman Li who is always confident... This is really interesting!! Hahahaha, I didn't expect that you were the first nervous person, haha..."
Michael Owen's face was suddenly covered with black lines... "Seriously, I'm so fucking happy. People like me can't help but want to make a joke..." Alan Shearer finally stopped laughing, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and calmed down: "Sir Hall is back. Crazy Li fell from the sky... Newcastle is finally about to rise!! When I heard Mr. Martin Brighton say the first sentence, I was about to faint with excitement... Michael, you tell me that this is not a dream, is it?
Newcastle's legendary striker Shear, who has always shown a mature and steady face, is happy like a child who finally got his beloved toy at this moment!
Owen can fully understand his mood!
Shearer, as the captain of the England national team and the top scorer in the Premier League, refused the invitation of the Red Devils godfather Ferguson, and resolutely came to his hometown team Newcastle, which once moved countless fans... Since then, the English superstar, who could have had a more brilliant career, has complained. Say goodbye to the rich family and honor, and conscientiously lead the soldiers of his hometown to fight for the magpie until he silently retired at St. James's Park... Shearer's love for Newcastle is deeper than any of the most hardcore fans!
Reproducing the glory of Newcastle is the lifelong dream of this man named Alan Shearer!
So, the invitation of crazy Li is like the most beautiful gift in the world for Shearer. How could he choose to give up in front of such an opportunity?
Take out his mobile phone from his pocket and call the phone on the business card left by the madman Li... "Mr. Rice Bucket, I have decided to stay. It's my lifelong honor to be your assistant coach... Moreover, I hope to lead Newcastle to the peak of honor with you!"
... After the phone call, Shearer pushed the door to the side of the road and took a deep breath of the suburban air!
The mood has never been so good!
Michael Owen came to Shearer and asked suspiciously, "Hey, Alan, didn't you really cry just now? Unexpectedly, so many tears came out of laughter..."
Hiller raised his head disdainfully!
But only he knew that he did cry just now! Because Owen was around, Shearer had to hide it with a burst of laughter!
He has been a man for most of his life, and now he is about to realize his dream. Happiness comes so suddenly, why does it matter even if he cries?
In the distance, the red sunset is about to sink under the horizon!
However, when you survive this unbearable long night, the vibrant sunrise can only come out over Newcastle, can't it?
### early morning!
In rare good weather, wisps of golden morning glory shot into the room from the transparent glass window!
Villa restaurant outside Manchester!!
Ferguson, the godfather of the Red Devils, was sitting at the table for breakfast in his pajamas!
Mrs. Ferguson took out the latest Manchester Post from the mailbox at the door and handed it over!
This is a habit developed by the godfather of the Red Devils over the years - carefully read the Manchester Post, which is dedicated to evaluating the latest developments of Premier League teams at breakfast, so that you can know the latest news of Premier League teams at the first time!
Suddenly...Puff!
Ferguson sprayed the milk he had just drunk into his mouth on the newspaper!
"Oh, God!! Honey, what happened? Mrs. Ferguson was shocked and followed Ferguson's eyes. The headline of the newspaper, which was wet with milk, was printed with a high-spirited headline of a Chinese, and the emblem of Newcastle United behind him was shining... Mrs. Ferguson knew this Chinese, and she even appreciated it a little!
Because this Chinese man is engaged in the same profession as Ferguson, and he is said to have done a very good job! Countless times in private, Ferguson praised this Chinese man as the most suitable successor to Manchester United... What happened?
... The same thing happened in many parts of England!
In a mansion in London, Mourinho is even worse - the madman uncle sprayed the milk directly on the luxury laptop he had just bought. You know, this non-waterproof luxury notebook is much more valuable than Ferguson's newspaper... And in the living room of another villa, the warmth of getting up in the morning. While listening to the radio, Ge carefully trimmed his carefully planted potted Gadria orchids... Suddenly, because of an incredible news on the radio, Wenger's scissors in his hand trembled, and the buds of the Gadria orchid, which was regarded as a treasure by the professor, fell to the ground yesterday... ...Of course, the most intense reaction took place in Newcastle, a major coastal city in the United Kingdom! In this city, which was still shrouded in the shadow of "Devil Meek Ashley" and the team's relegation the day before, there were one interesting scene after another - when her husband was listening to the radio and brushing his teeth, he suddenly ran out of the bathroom screaming, with toothpaste foam standing beside his mouth, but he was inexplicable like crazy. The wife hugged and kissed deeply... The teenager's son suddenly rushed to the door of his sleeping father's bedroom early in the morning and kicked and knocked. After his father opened the door with an angry face, he jumped up excitedly to the owner's father's neck and screamed in his ear: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, God is coming, Newcastle is saved... "
The stingy and serious boss suddenly ran out of the office with a loud laugh, twisted his buttocks in the company hall and announced to the stunned employees: "Wahaha, God is coming to the St. James Park Stadium. Today, everyone has a paid day off. I'm going to the stadium to meet the new coach..." < /P>
The slow taxi on the street suddenly sounded the trumpet excitedly at the same time, as if venting the excitement in the owner's heart... Because the traffic broadcast just urgently interrupted a piece of news that made all Newcastle fans ecstatic... Half an hour later, this coal industrial city since the 20th century Every commercial electronic advertising screen in the core city of the English coast, which has become the most popular tourist city in England, switched to the same place at the same time - on the screen, the press conference hall of St. James's Park is so familiar to every Newark, and has always been in the camera. Yang's smiling Chinese face made every magpie standing in front of the advertising electronic screen involuntarily hold his breath... On the screen - the fat reporter of the Newcastle Post was the first to hand the microphone in his smiling Chinese with an excited face: "Mr. Rice Bucket, may I ask you. Why did you choose Newcastle after rejecting the invitation of giants such as Inter Milan?
"...because I love Newcastle more deeply, you know that I have been a loyal Newcastle fan since I was very young... And now Newcastle needs me more than Inter Milan!" The sulking man doesn't change his face when he lies, and his heart doesn't beat!
However, in order to announce the acquisition in the future, such a "good faith lie" is a must!
Because it's just a slogan-like declaration, but it makes it easy for the sultry man to win the hearts of all Newcastle people in this moment! The proud cheers of the fans gathered in front of the countless electronic advertising screens in the city are the best proof!
The interview on the electronic screen is still going on!
It can be clearly seen that the press conference hall of St. James Park Stadium, which has been deserted for half a year since the 07-08 season, is full of reporters from major media today like a feast!
The Sun reporter got the opportunity to ask a second question: "Mr. Rice Bucket, we all know that you have a contract with the England national team. Does the Football Association agree that you choose to coach Newcastle at this time?"
This question hit the nail on the head and caught the hearts of thousands of Newcastle people!
But soon, the answer given by the madman Li made them breathe a sigh of relief, because the man replied with a smile: "Before the FA signed the contract, there were relevant clauses specifically indicating the possibility of coaching the club team during the contract. There is no problem in this regard..."
Ula~~ Cheers again!
More and more fans gathered in front of the major electronic advertising screens in Newcastle City. People involuntarily smiled and paid close attention to the ongoing press conference on the big screen!
"...Mr. Rice Bucket, how long have you signed a coaching contract with Newcastle this time? Do you choose to leave after leading the team to relegation as a temporary firef, or..."
Yes!!
After the reporter asked this question, the hearts of all Newcastle fans hung up again!
Fortunately, the Chinese man's answer on the screen once again saved their hearts: "No, I love Newcastle. I will always stay here and lead this team to glory with all my strength!"
Boom~~~ The harbor city is boiling!
Ninety percent of the city's population are loyal Newcastle fans. Each of them deeply understands what it means when Newcastle has a magical coach like Crazy Lee!
Legend of victory!
Bandage God of War!!
God on the side of the football field!!!
This magical Chinese has not failed in the official competition since his debut. Just like the nickname given to him by the media, on the command seat on the side of the green field, he is a god, a symbol of victory and honor!
The miraculous performance of coaching the Legion of the Three Lions has made the madman Li's reputation in England reach its peak!
No coach of a national team has ever been so admired by arrogant English gentlemen, and Newcastle are of course no exception!!
For more than 240 days in the past eight months, Real Madrid fans have been nagging all over Europe like a complaining woman about the pain and reluctance of losing the madman Li... Today, such a coach, who no one dared not expect, came to St. James's Park like a dream. Did the fans' prayers to the cross of the Son of Jesus at night finally make God begin to favor the suffering team of Newcastle?
Thinking about the happiness of Real Madrid fans in the 06-07 season, you can understand that the happiness of Newcastle is not unreasonable!
March 15, 2008 is a fantastic day for Newcastle fans!
Because after experiencing the endless darkness of the first half of the season, they finally saw a glimmer of light in the sky!
### Soon, the news that madman Lee coached Newcastle was like a cold current from the Siberian wilderness, attacking England and even European football - "Incredible decision, madman Lee took over Allardy's whip!!"
"Newcastle welcomes God on the edge of the football field, and the Magpie Legion may open up a new dynasty"
"The disaster of the Premier League team, who has the strength to resist the middle finger of the bandaged God of War?"
"The magpie in the relegation zone welcomes the savior. No one is more suitable for Newcastle's handsome position than the madman Lee!!"
"Club presidents of the five major leagues, are you ready to resist Newcastle's conquest of the iron hooves?"
"Part-time national team and club, the Dark Emperor is expanding his rule step by step!!!"
... There is no essential difference between the exclamation of the media and "the wolf is coming"!
European football really makes people panic with these big mouths!
But for Newcastle's new coach Li Tongfan, there is no time to pay attention to these at all!
Because two days later, that is, on March 17, the team will go to London's White Hart Lane Stadium to challenge the Premier League's strong team Tottenham Hotspur, and there is indeed a mess in front of Lao Li - Newcastle's first team of 24 people, 6 players were injured, 3 players shouted for a transfer, others... all... The department is not in good condition!
Moreover, what is announced this time is that he is coaching Newcastle as the head coach. After more than a month, after all the acquisition procedures are completed, his holding of club shares will be exposed. I don't know how the conservative and traditional English gentlemen will react?
