Chapter 414 Sultry Man Watching the Sky at Night
Wenger saw a foot!
The feet that have been wearing red sneakers!
It's not strange to stand on the side of the court and look up to see a foot in sneakers, because there are 44 feet in sneakers fighting on the court at this moment... So Wenger's pupil abruptly shrinks not because of the foot... but because of the sneakers that foot is wearing!
Red long spikes!
In the snowflakes of St. James Park Stadium, the silver-white steel nails on the soles of the red sneakers flashed cold light under the strong light of the canopy... That is a pair of long spikes specially made for snow and rain!
Wenger squinted and looked at the sneakers of other Newcastle players!
It doesn't matter, but the more you look at it, the more you are shocked. The more you look at it, the more you feel that things are not good - because one of the eleven players in black and white jerseys on the court are all wearing snowy spikes!
If there are only one or two Newcastle players, it is likely that the players will only see the gloomy weather and wear long spikes before the game, but if all the eleven players on the field are like this, there is only one explanation - this is the deliberate arrangement of the head coach of the Magpie Legion, Li!
This is what Wenger is most worried about!
If it's just the difference between sneakers and spikes, it's not a big problem for the gunners, because in case the Arsenal players will wear two pairs of long and short spikes in the game, they can let the gunners slowly change into long spikes when there is a dead ball in a moment... The problem is: if the madman Li already knew If there will be rain and snow in this game, has he also prepared a set of tactics that can fully adapt to the rain battle?
In this way, Arsenal will lose at the starting line!
You should know that in such an important "peak battle", in the face of a world-class coach like Crazy Li, who is famous for his on-the-spot command and strange tactical changes, as long as Arsenal shows any flaws in the game, it is enough to be caught by the opponent and make a fatal blow!
What Wenger can't think of is how the madman Li is so sure that it will definitely snow in the game!
As a coach-level coach who has been in the Premier League for many years and has rich experience in preparing for the game, of course, he knows the impact of weather factors on the victory or defeat of the game, so Wenger began to pay close attention to the weather conditions of the game as early as a week ago, and the weather forecast given by the weather program of England's national TV is "Sunny" It turns cloudy, and the probability of precipitation is 0%..."
Although the "weather forecast" of the national TV station is not 100% accurate, it is always 90% accurate. It has been a long time since the situation of complete forecasting errors like today has not been released!
And what's even more strange is that it coincidentally began to snow at the beginning of the game, leaving no time for Arsenal to prepare... But at this moment, Wenger can no longer care about the reason!
There are only two things that must be solved for a head coach - first, let the coaching staff cooperate with the players on the court to change into long spikes as soon as possible to prevent unnecessary mistakes due to the slippery field!
Second, we must find a feasible tactical method to minimize the current disadvantage before the gunners are caught by the terrible Chinese and attack... However, this is very difficult!
... On the other side, on Newcastle's coaching bench.
In addition to the sultry man with a mysterious smile and his hands in his pockets, six staff members of the Magpie Legion coaching team and seven people on the bench, almost everyone stared at the snowflakes flying in the sky... Assistant coach Alan Shearer stretched out his palm to catch a few white snowflakes that were falling. There was a slight chill in the palm of his hand, and the snowflakes quickly turned into small drops of water. His face was not only shocked but also shocked: "How can this be... God, it's really snowing..."
At this moment, Shearer looked at Li Tongfan's black back standing on the sidelines, and his heart had more complicated feelings in addition to admiration: Does Li really have magic from the mysterious ancient country in the East?
Alan Shearer got up from the coach's seat and stood in the wind and snow, and his thoughts returned to a day ago... "...what? Ready for snow...snow battle?"
Twenty-two coaches of Newcastle's first team exclaimed in one voice, and the seats in the conference room looked at each other one by one.
After today's full-day training, head coach Li Tongfan suddenly mysteriously and urgently held a coaching team meeting. Originally, everyone thought that he had found a new idea of defeating the enemy. Who knew that Li Tongfan's first sentence was to let the coaching staff prepare for the next day's snow battle... "But... Er, Li, the weather forecast of the national TV station believes that there is no possibility of snow tomorrow..." Assistant coach Alan Shearer said here. All the coaches wondered: "And according to the information collected by Rod in the past few days, there is no sign of snow tomorrow!"
Rod, who Shearer said, is the tactical coach of the Newcastle first-team coaching staff, who is sitting in the third seat on the right side of the conference room at this moment.
According to the division of responsibilities, in addition to the tactical training of the first team, Rod will also regularly provide the head coach with details such as the recent status of the next opponent, the threat players that need to be focused on in the battle, and the weather of the game, so that the head coach can make the most correct tactical arrangement and choice!
According to the information compiled by Colland Rhodes for the "Pinnacle Battle", it will never snow in Newcastle on November 25. This has been unanimously recognized by all the first-team coaches at the team's preparation tactical speech meeting a day ago... Even Li Tongfan was at that meeting. The discussion praised Rod's "detailed" information in front of all the first-team coaches... Why did he overturn Rod's weather information in less than 24 hours and suddenly have to prepare some inexplicable snow battle?
Li Tongfan looked at everyone's suspicious expressions and exhaled a turbid breath, and secretly slandered in his heart: If the FM2009 system hadn't suddenly become insane and made a big bull-level system task [Glory belongs to the only emperor], and made two major problems plus the restriction system, I would still consume a little. [Climate points]?
But of course, Lao Li can't say these!
After thinking for a moment, the stuffy man sighed helplessly. It seemed that the cruel facts made me have to pretend again... "Yes, the information sorted out by Reed is indeed perfect, but now the situation suddenly changed a little... I stood on the balcony last night. Looking at the sky at night, I found the astrology... Er, the astrology is very disordered... According to the principle of China's astrology, there must be heavy snow after the start of the game tomorrow..."
This is the reason why the man is stuffy.
Lao Li thought that anyway, he had been covered with a thick layer of mystery by the media public opinion because of "total victory" and "middle finger curse", instead of moving out some bad reasons similar to "radio weather forecast mistakes", "a horrible Siberian sudden cold wave" and so on to fool these families. Dude, it's better to make the mystery more thorough... In some cases, the most unreasonable explanation is the most convincing reason!
Sure enough, after Li Tongfan threw out this reason, many of the coaches who did it fell into meditation. Most people have actually believed Lao Li's words, because too many miracles and incredible things happened to the madman Li. This Chinese almost never made mistakes. For a long time, Newcastle The coaches of the team have developed a habit of "trusting him unconditionally, worshiping him, and welcoming the most incredible victory with him!"
Suddenly... The coach named Kolan Reed seemed to think of something. He suddenly stood up with an ecstatic expression on his face: "Oh, watching the sky at night? ...God, I know! Li, in ancient China, you had a military division called pig... ah, pig... pig or something. You can borrow a strong wind... that is, watching the sky at night, right?
Pig?
Military division?
Li Tongfan was stunned!
"...It's one of China's four masterpieces, [the battle of three countries], the military teacher pig of the emperor's uncle Liu who likes to cry..." Reed shouted and explained.
Old Li suddenly realized!
Yeah, isn't this the wise Zhuge Wuhou in Romance of the Three Kingdoms! I despise you. I don't want to understand when I read. I guess it's also a half-baked thing... When I get here, the tactical meeting will change!
Because almost all the first-team coaches flashed around Collan Reed and heard the excited guy say that a guy named "pig" in ancient China incredibly borrowed the east wind through "watching the sky at night"... And in this way, those who just suspected that Li Tongfan was preparing for a snow battle were convinced. There is no doubt that it will snow the next day, because there is historical evidence for "watching the sky at night". Chinese people are really amazing! Crazy Li is really erudite and talented!
"Li, please accept me as an apprentice! I want to learn the ability to watch the sky at night..." Collan Reed grabbed Li Tongfan's thigh firmly with a little star in his eyes and refused to let go.
Lao Li remembered the shameless but interesting "three surnames domestic slaves" team doctor Gonzalez Yi in the era of Real Madrid!
Amoping all the people, only the team doctor Ito Yun yawned and curled his lips boringly, lay on the table in the conference room and whispered, "Alas, this bitch is lying again..."
... St. James Park Stadium in the wind and snow.
The 'Pinnacle Battle' has been going on for 8 minutes. Although many players from Arsenal have changed into long spikes suitable for snow combat with the cooperation of the staff, they are firmly suppressed by the Magpie Legion at home on the scene!
In the 3rd minute and 38 seconds, Ronaldo received a successful offside pass with a big foot that had just passed the middle line. A shot sent the football from the top of the head of the gunner's goalkeeper Amunia... This shot almost gave a nightmare start to the gunners who came from afar!
Unfortunately, when the football was about to cross the goal line, the shooter's back of Alexander Song was successful and pushed the football out with his head!
In the first 8 minutes, Newcastle's possession rate was not high, but the overall steal success rate reached an amazing 89%. The gunners, who had always been known for their gorgeous offensive and smooth ball control, had difficulty keeping the football under their feet, and there was a mistake every five passes... Wenger frowned on the sidelines. !
Li Tongfan, who has been standing in the wind and snow, looked at the watch on his wrist for 44 seconds and frowned: the game time is 9 minutes and 43 seconds... With another 600 seconds, Newcastle's first big test of this game... is about to come!
