Chapter 358 Force Ronaldo to lose weight
August 12th.
Newcastle began its first rehearsal of the 08-09 season, playing at home against the Bundesliga's promoted Ma Hoffenheim! The main reason why Li Tongfan chose Hoffenheim as his opponent in the warm-up match was to bully the team as a Bundesliga runner-up!
In fact, if you take a closer look at the four warm-up teams arranged by Li Tongfan, you can find the rules. The first warm-up opponent and the last warm-up opponent are weak teams, and Real Madrid and Inter Milan are both super strong teams in the middle. The purpose of this choice is to allow Newcastle, which has changed almost 90% of its blood, to find weaknesses in time in the game against different teams of strength, so that Lao Li can adjust with FM2009!
However, God seems to have played a joke with Lao Li!
Because Hoffenheim does not seem to be a weak team.
Less than 3 minutes after the start of the game, Hoffenheim, the visiting team, scored. The Brazilian midfielder Eduardo, who was promoted to the Bundesliga, made an imaginative straight stop. Bosnia and Herzegovina striker Vidad íšević grabbed the offside push shot at the far corner of the goal before Newcastle's young central defender Sako turned around... 1:0!
Lao Li stood on the sidelines and was shocked!
Because this game, Li Tongfan did not use FM2009 to promote, and the players were all new players - goalkeeper Hugo Loris, David Thornton appeared in the right-back position, Mamadou Sako and Steven Taylor partnered with the centre-back, and the left-back was Yuri Yielkov, the back Fernando Gago at the waist, Juan Mata and Marcelo on both sides, Pastore at the front at the front, Michael Owen's partner Hernan Crespo!
Originally, Lao Li thought that although the lineup today's lineup occupied most of the newly joined players, and there were indeed many unfavorable factors such as lack of cooperation... However, the hammers on the court were all famous or emerging people in European football, integrating the team uniform and Hofenhai. A team like Mu should be a side dish, right?
Unexpectedly, after the opening, not only was the opponent's first goal, but also according to the performance of the "blue army" after the goal, the madman Li Ichi-ichi Newcastle was unexpectedly exhausted by the other party's gorgeous and turbulent offensive!
Hoffenheim's playing style brightened Li Tongfan's eyes. If the blue team uniforms worn by the players are ignored, Lao Li even thought that the team that appeared at St. James's Park was Arsenal in a trance... Is this really a fucking nameless Bundesliga promotion horse?
At this moment, Li Tongfan had a feeling that he wanted to pinch a soft persimmon but pinched a hard stone!
In the stands.
53,421 enthusiastic Newcastle fans set off St. James's Park Stadium into a horrible visiting team hell. As long as the Hoffenheim player took the ball, the boos like a storm did not stop, but such a formation obviously could not scare the opponent on the lawn!
The game lasted until the 22nd minute, and Hoffenheim, who beat Newcastle, scored again!
Chu Zhongtian, a Chinese midfielder who just joined the Bundesliga this summer, made a strange heel hole through Newcastle's back line, which was still in the running-in period, and then the tall Hoffenheim No. 19 striker ibišević made a strong shot before Sako and Steven Taylor... 2: 0!
In the stunned eyes of Newcastle fans, Hoffenheim players rushed to the sidelines and hugged their head coach Lannick to celebrate... on the sidelines.
Li Tongfan will no longer worry about the final score this time. It's just a friendly match... As early as two years ago, he lost several friendly matches in the era of the Pope's family's Madrid, so even if he loses this game, it has no impact on the invincible reputation of the madman Li Zhan!
What really interests Li Tongfan is why an unknown team that has just been promoted to the Bundesliga has such a strong strength? In just now, in more than 20 minutes, Li Tongfan carefully observed Hoffenheim's technical and tactical play and the strength level of each player. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, because whether it was the team or the player's personal ability, everything was not the level that the Bundesliga should always have... Thinking of this, Lao Li's face He smiled like a prank again, because he was sure that if the big brother of the Bundesliga did not take this team seriously, maybe the small team Hoffenheim would shock the whole world in the upcoming 08-09 season!
Lao Li had a good idea and found another good attention!
... Ninety minutes later, Newcastle, who was at home, finally lost the game 2:3.
Hoffenheim expanded the score to 3:0 in the 44th minute of the game by relying on the Chinese midfielder Chu Zhongtian's header to expand the score to 3-0, and in the second half, Newcastle finally found the feeling of cooperation. Argentine center Herlan Crespo received Juan Mata's transfer in the 68th minute of the game and scored The first goal after the Magpie... In the 84th minute, 17-year-old Argentine teenager front midfielder Javier Pastore sent a free kick created by Owen directly into Hoffenheim's goal... 2:3!
This is a score that no one expected before the game. Even the German media did not expect that the country team that had just been promoted to the Bundesliga could overturn the madman Li, who was in the European heroes, on the away game!
"...To be honest, I was surprised by such an ending, because before the game, the players and I both went for a big victory with a score of 10:0 or higher, but Hoffenheim won my respect with their own strength... I bet that Mr. Lannick and his team will be able to arrive soon. The whole world will be shocked in the coming season... Well, maybe they can create a miracle!"
This is the "failure speech" of the madman Li at the post-match press conference!
But no one seriously considered the meaning of Li Tongfan's words, let alone seriously examine the real strength of Hoffenheim, who took away an unexpected victory at St. James's Park Stadium. Both the media and fans, focused more on the loss of the madman Li!
Flores, the former editor-in-chief of Sport of the World, who has had a feud with Li Tongfan, jumped out without losing time - "Can Hoffenheim shock the world? Ha, this is the most ridiculous joke I've heard in this century... The reason why Crazy Li is so tall, a country team that has just been promoted to the Bundesliga, is not to distract the attention of the media... In fact, we can completely see from this game that Crazy Li is not as invincible as people think, at least Mr. Lannick, the promoted coach of the Bundesliga, did this..."
Although the feud between Flores and the madman Lee has long been known to the world, and this statement may not be suspected of taking private revenge, it has still aroused the approval of some media in other countries outside England.
Because, in terms of surnames, people are willing to witness the rise of a myth as bystanders, but at the same time, they prefer to bury a myth as a participant! Fortunately, because of the success of the 2008 European Cup, England has maintained its trust in the madman Li!
The Sun deliberately conducted a fan trust survey after the failure of the friendly match against Hoffenheim in Newcastle. There is no doubt that the support of Crazy Lee's Newcastle fans did not fall by even one percentage point, but there was a posture that vaguely continued to rise... Newcastle Ligbo Don't training base!
Obviously, the incitement of the outside media did not affect the enthusiasm of Li Tongfan and Newcastle players to prepare for the new season. The team's morning training was carried out easily in laughter. Outside the barbed wire of the base are media reporters from various newspapers and enthusiastic Newcastle fans... Tomorrow at 16:00 p.m., Newcastle will play against the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid at St. James's Park Stadium, so the players are very active in training!
This will be a game destined to attract the attention of the world!
Crazy Li will face the team that has coached and created a myth as the enemy for the first time!
And even if this is removed, there are still countless gimmicks in this extraordinary friendly match!
Because, whether it is Real Madrid's great fame or the past between the madman Lee and Real Madrid, all of this is the reason to attract the world's attention to this friendly match. By this time, the media no longer speculated how Li Tongfan successfully invited the Galactic Battleship to Newcastle in more than ten days after the opening of La Liga. More attention was paid to the meeting of the madman Li and Real Madrid as enemies and the German Schuster and the madman Li. The feud in the 06-07 season!
As we all know, when Schuster was the head coach of Getafe, he angered the madman Li because he complained to media reporters that the madman Li had robbed him of his job. Finally, he washed Getafe with a big score in two rounds with the momentum of Mount Tai... Tomorrow, Schuster, who will become the coach of Real Madrid as he wished. Can you sweep Newcastle, which has just been defeated at the foot of a country team, at St. James's Park Stadium?
... For Li Tongfan, the friendly match with Real Madrid does have a special significance.
So compared with the lack of preparation against Hoffenheim, Lao Li did a lot of hard work this time. Every new player was surprised and excited the day before to receive the "boss" Li Tongfan's training plan according to their respective positions and technical characteristics... Among all the new players introduced, Ronaldo's weight problems and Marcelo's recovery after experiencing serious injuries in Real Madrid. , was put first by Lao Li! Judging from the results of the observation in the past few days, Marcelo's state problem cannot be solved urgently by training. It is necessary to use the FM2009 system. As for Ronaldo... Lao Li decided to force the fat man to lose weight!
