Chapter 408 The Waves Raised by the Peak Battle [5000 Words, Monthly Vote Requested]
The whistle blows and the game is over.
No boos, only applause!
In the snowy night, St. James regained his warm side, and the applause was like the blue waves of a midsummer day, rising and falling...
The snowflakes flying all over the sky seemed to be just rushing to join in the excitement of this 'peak battle'. The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and it began to fly freely. The referee blew the whistle to end the game. , the last crystal snowflake fell among the grass on the field and disappeared!
The snow has stopped!
On the field.
There were tears in the corners of Walcott's eyes. Wearing the great No. 14 jersey passed down by 'gun king' Thierry Henry, he regretted that he was disappointingly unsupported in such an important game today. Hopes for Arsenal's striker in the 'post-Henry era'...
Nasri knelt on the ground, mud and water soaking his knees.
He came with the reputation of 'Zidane II', but he failed to score the only goal that could win the final glory for his team at a critical moment...
Adebayor looked at the lights of the St. James canopy with regretful eyes...
Fabregas tightened the captain's armband on his arm...
Eduardo Schier hugs the game ball tightly...
At this moment, the middle finger that brought them all this humiliation, that person, is now accepting the worship from the stands like a tide of crazy Saint James with a proud and arrogant attitude...
The 'Red Storm', which lasted for 14 rounds, 3 months and 22 days, was torn apart by the Magpies in the most cruel way in St. James. Newcastle continued their pace of setting records, but Arsenal had to start over. Already...
it's over!
Professor Wenger walked onto the field and comforted his children one by one...
Then, the young gunners, led by captain Cesc Fabregas, lined up slowly to the camp of more than 10,000 Arsenal fans in the South Stand, and bowed deeply to express their gratitude to those who had always supported them during the game. Lovely fans express their gratitude...
The boys were in a nervous mood, expecting that after a humiliating defeat, boos, middle fingers and abuse would be waiting for them...
However, the warm applause that came to their faces melted the thin snow, making them stunned and ashamed... and made them excited and excited!
"When we meet next time, it will be us who win...I swear!"
Fabregas finally raised his head and roared. The captain's armband shone brightly in the iron and fire, and the flame of revenge was in Adebayor, in Nasri... in everyone The gunman's chest is burning!
The other side of the field.
Not far away from the tragic yet peaceful static picture of the gunmen, there is the wild and crazy dynamic celebration scene of the Magpie Legion...
It’s a dreamy and sweet night for Newcastle people!
Glory belongs only to Newcastle!
The fans closest to the coaching bench were like floods that could no longer be stopped, breaking through the thin layer of billboards and pouring down...
Courtside.
The beaming Li Tongfan was still opening his arms, thinking about what kind of more popular celebration posture he should create, while waiting to embrace the Hammers who were running towards him, wet but full of momentum...
However, the 'flood' roared past behind him, leaping thousands of miles away. Without Li Tongfan's defense, Lao Li's figure was instantly submerged in it, and then sent onto the high waves again...
"Ouch, ouch, I'm afraid of heights, put me down quickly!!"
The sultry man instinctively thought of the 'miserable' scene when he and his assistant coach Grede were stripped of their underwear by crazy fans on the night of the championship at Real Madrid, and howled like a slaughtered pig...
You know, Wang Qinghe is still watching from the stands!
So Lao Li didn't want to be stripped into a "bare pig" in front of Mrs. Yazhai on such a cold snowy night... Fortunately, Li Tongfan soon discovered that today's situation seemed to be different from that day. Any fan who wants to tear off his own clothes...
Lao Li finally relaxed his grip on the waistband of his pants with relief.
On the field.
The fanatical fans raised their coach high above their heads because Crazy Lee was their god!
Hundreds of pairs of big hands stretched upward, and their palms spread out to form the strongest 'God's Seat' in the world. The 'God's Seat' carried Li Tongfan slowly around the stadium, accepting the cheers of other fans in the stands...
The scene was far crazier and more exciting than the moment when I won the championship!
The stadium security guards who rushed out of the tunnel to maintain order looked at it and quietly retreated...
On the sidelines, the fourth official nervously wrote a lot of things quickly in the small black notebook he carried with him, but then he looked up again, lowered his head and tore a page from the notebook, tore it into pieces and threw it into the air, along with the scraps of paper. It was just like the heavy snow that was falling a few minutes ago...
Coincidentally, security guards and officials are unwilling to be evil people who bring disgrace to the scene.
Because the hundreds of fans singing "COME-IN-HOME-NEWCASTLE" on the field did not attack the players randomly, but lined up in a neat line, with realistically trained and orderly guards, holding high the heroes in their hearts - - Players and head coaches, let them start from the Magpies’ command box, pass through the stands centimeter by centimeter, and let them accept the cheers that only belong to them from the sky over and over again...
Glory makes them crazy and also makes them orderly.
The 'God's Seat' walked slowly all the way, Ronaldo, Michael Owen, Hugo Lloris... every wet hammer was lifted above their heads by the crazy fans...
Faced with such a scene, reporters who flocked in and shivered with excitement could only follow the crowd and take pictures. Amidst the thunderous cheers from the audience, no one could hear them even if they shouted at the top of their lungs...
"It's over! The game is finally over! 3:0, the 9-man Magpie Legion swept Arsenal in a jaw-dropping manner... In this 'pinnacle battle' of the 08-09 season that was watched by tens of millions of people, Crazy Li Once again, we had the last laugh arrogantly!”
"From now on, no team in the five major leagues or the other 16 non-mainstream leagues in Europe can compare with the current Magpies. They have become a legend!"
"...At the last second before the game started, I thought Newcastle would win. In the 20th minute of the game, I was forced to change my view and thought Newcastle would definitely lose...and after the first half, I fell into hesitation. I don’t even know who will win and who will lose..."
"But now, I must admit that I was fooled! Crazy Li has always been in control of the game from beginning to end... He not only controls the game, but also controls everyone's emotions, playing with the applause... This is a true [God on the football field], he can do anything!”
St. James continues its madness.
As for the Arsenal players, they didn't know when they had all evacuated this battlefield that did not belong to them...
…
Post-match press conference.
The crowd is crowded, this is a battlefield for reporters.
"...Newcastle played a great game and they deserved the result...Yes, it was obviously a terrible disaster for us, but luckily we didn't suffer the consequences. Losing one game and losing any championship this season... I hope my players can learn something from the game so that they will become stronger!”
Professor Wenger is being interviewed by reporters.
Unexpectedly, after the team's humiliating loss, a frustrated Wenger showed great grace in front of the camera and did not shy away from praising Newcastle's performance in the game.
"They deserved this victory!" Wenger said.
However, when the "Observer" reporter Westerman asked the "Professor" to comment on Crazy Li, the famous French coach refused with silence, then stood up and left directly.
"I'm going to comfort my players, they need me more than you!"
The last words left by the Frenchman finally revealed his bad mood at this moment.
At the Olympic Stadium in Greece in the 2006-07 season and at St. James in the 2008-09 season, the famous French coach lost the two most important games to him under the same middle finger of the same person!
However, the reporters obviously didn't care much about Wenger's departure, because there was still a person sitting behind the interview table in the press conference hall——
Crazy Li!
The smiling coach of the Magpies.
He is the real protagonist.
In this game that attracted the attention of the whole world, Crazy Li once again stole everyone's light without any suspense with his discolored middle finger...
Even his 'wife' who was sitting in the stands watching the game as a fan was more eye-catching than the best player of the game [Flash Killer] Michael Owen who scored twice!
Click...click...click! !
Accompanied by the sound of the shutter of the shutter camera, the spotlight flashed continuously, like lightning released by the God King Zeus, illuminating the entire hall.
The reporters pressed closer step by step. The microphones and recorders were like hills, burying Li Tongfan in them——
"Mr. Shitong, what are your thoughts on the referee Atkinson's decision? Did the red cards of Podolski and Sakho have a huge impact on the team's tactics?"
"Congratulations on winning the game... Newcastle is now the only team in the Premier League that has maintained a winning streak. Is this because the league champion this season has to be Newcastle?"
"Miss Wang Qinghe appeared in the stands. Is this your request? Is she a Newcastle fan?"
"...Many fans are very interested in the love experience between you and Ms. Wang Qinghe. Can you reveal some things in this regard?"
"Mr. Rice Bucket..."
Someone couldn't squeeze through and stood behind and shouted loudly: "Please answer this question head-on: What does the middle finger you raise during the game mean? Secret weapon? Magic curse? What is the connection between it and scoring a goal? ?”
As soon as this question came out, the originally crowded and noisy press conference hall seemed to be cast by a mysterious spell, and it suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
Everyone opened their ears wide, waiting for Crazy Li to give the answer.
There were even a few big-bodied reporters standing behind the interview table with murderous looks on their faces. They looked like crazy Li, you won’t be able to leave here until you speak clearly today...
Looking at a group of reporters with red eyes and grinning teeth, Li Tongfan was dumbfounded...
Could it be that the price of showing off has come so soon?
…
…
For the Premier League structure in the 2008-09 season, the ‘peak battle’ on November 25 represents far more than just an ordinary league victory or defeat, and more than those three league points!
Since then, there has been no team in the Premier League that can keep pace with Newcastle. And Crazy Li led the Magpies to achieve a terrifying 15-game winning streak, which is already approaching the 'mythical era' when Real Madrid won all the games before the game!
I believe that at the beginning of the 2008-09 season, no one expected that under the joint stranglehold of the four traditional giants of the Premier League, Reds Liverpool, Red Devils Manchester United, Blues Chelsea, and Gunners Arsenal, coupled with the second-tier giant Aston Villa. Under the full resistance of many teams such as La Liga and Tottenham Hotspur, Crazy Li completed the conquest of the 'World's No. 1 League' in just 14 league rounds...
But now, after 14 rounds of the league, all 20 teams are on their knees, bowing their heads!
The Premier League collapsed at the feet of Crazy Li!
On November 25th, Newcastle reached the top!
3:0, it showed the birth of a new Premier League hegemon besides the traditional top four.
This is the first time Newcastle has ruthlessly kicked away all its competitors and enjoyed the wonderful taste of being at the top of the standings alone!
After that, no matter how reluctant some people are to admit this, whenever they face the Magpie Legion, they will tremble involuntarily and be afraid!
After La Liga, will the Premier League also fall?
…
Less than an hour after the game ended, major European football media portals were already scrambling to report on the outcome of the game and the gimmicks during the game...
No wonder the media is crazy, because any fan who has watched this game will not be satisfied with the final score and the outcome. The "Battle of St. James" itself is so exciting and controversial that people Looking forward to further media reports.
A woman!
A middle finger!
Two red cards!
Three goals!
These things have sent the entire European football world into madness.
What drove reporters crazy the most and made fans the most curious was the middle finger that Crazy Li raised again when the first half of the game was about to end!
How long has it been since Crazy Lee’s middle finger didn’t appear in a game?
But, that doesn’t mean the magic of the middle finger curse is gone!
Whether you are willing to admit it or not, Crazy Li’s middle finger has already had the power to change the color of the entire European football world. Facts have proved that almost... no, not almost, but absolutely no coach or team can. Survived by that middle finger!
Faced with such a crazy scene, people urgently need an answer.
The explanation of 'middle finger threat theory' is obviously too pale, and the 'data analysis theory' also seems very far-fetched... After all, only the two most absurd reasons of 'curse' or 'magic' are the most reasonable explanations!
This kind of controversy continues, and many ‘experts’ are involved in it——
The first person to stand up was former Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard. The ‘Black Swan’ expressed his views in an interview with reporters——
"Curse? OH, NO! NO!!... That is definitely not a curse, let alone magic, but an insight beyond imagination! When I met Crazy Li for the first time in a game two years ago, I I'm sure that the Chinese is born with a magical ability to clearly predict the trend of the game, well, or you can call this ability 'prophecy'..."
Those who hold the same view include the German national team coach and [tactician] Loew——
"...What Frank said represents my thoughts. People are always used to looking at a 'typical head coach' to ask him... However, we must note that many coaches in the five major leagues are in their 50s and 60s. Even the word head coach habitually represents age and wisdom. If you are a 40-year-old head coach, congratulations, you can be called a young coach..."
"The complete opposite to this is that Crazy Li is actually just a 26-year-old kid. In the coaching world, he is so young that many players who play under his command can do what he does. Brother or uncle..."
"...and it just so happens that he is such a young guy. In the past two years, we have not even heard a single scandal about him. People's memories of Crazy Li are always him at press conferences, in games, and in training. Sir, other than that, I rarely see him in other places, such as banquets or other feasting places..."
"So, a crazy guy like Crazy Lee, who has nothing in his eyes but football, deserves everything he has achieved, and attributes his 15-game winning streak to some ridiculous reason like a curse or magic. The above is the greatest insult to people who work hard!”
The words of these two outstanding coaches were quickly reproduced by the media——
"Rijkaard: Crazy Lee is actually a pitch prophet"
"Loew: Young Madman Li is my idol!" 》
"Born Coach Crazy Li..."
"Crazy Li, the man who conquered two world-famous coaches..."
"Crazy Li, who is low-key and uses his middle finger to hide his hard work..."
"Humble Madman Li..."
"The diligent madman Li..."
…
However, some people obviously disagreed with the words of the two ‘experts’ Rijkaard and Loew. The first person to jump out and ridicule was the former editor-in-chief of "World Sports News" Flores...
The intensity of the language is unprecedented...

I don’t know what’s going on, but today I feel like I’m constipated when typing. It’s hard to find the state, so I resorted to a unique trick: I listened to the South Africa World Cup theme song more than a hundred times, but it didn’t work...
