Chapter 484: ‘English Football Hooligan’ Bloodbath
On the afternoon of the 24th.
Newcastle conducted a closed acclimatization training for about an hour at the Alpi Stadium, Juventus' home ground.
Li Tongfan appeared on the sidelines, but the reporters did not see it.
The turf of the Alpi Stadium makes Newcastle players feel very uncomfortable, because the length of the grass here is much longer than that of St. James. The Hammers do a poor job in controlling the strength of the ball when passing the ball, and there will always be excessive force. Strong or insufficient situation...
Fortunately, it was just training, and the Hammers got used to it a lot in one hour.
However, Li Tongfan is worried that Juventus may make adjustments to the venue in tomorrow afternoon's game. According to UEFA regulations, the venue must be watered before the game. It is said that Juventus was in the previous knockout round. , regarding the venue issue, it caused the opponent Werder Bremen to suffer a big loss...
At the post-match press conference, reporters were expecting the 'long-lost' Madman Lee to appear in front of the public. However, to their great disappointment, it was Newcastle's assistant coach Alan who appeared in the press conference hall of the Alp Stadium. -Shearer…
"...I came here just to win. Nothing can stop Newcastle from taking victory from the Alpstadion. This is Newcastle's only goal!"
Perhaps because he was wildly provoked and insulted by Juventus fans after coming to Turin, Alan Shearer, who has always had a bad temper, spoke aggressively during the press conference and did not save face for his opponents at all.
However, Hiller's unkind attitude did not attract a big fuss from the media.
Because what the whole of Europe is more concerned about is the disappearance of Crazy Li. Countless people are speculating whether the 'scheming' Crazy Li is planning some terrible conspiracy to frame the Zebra Legion...
"Please explain why crazy Mr. Li did not appear here. Is his recent disappearance related to the rumored theft at home four days ago?"
An Italian reporter jumped in and asked.
"No comment!" Shearer stood up, ended the press conference, and turned to leave.
…
…
"Newcastle has an arrogant attitude and their nouveau riche temperament is fully revealed"
Gazzetta dello Sport stood on the standpoint of the whole of Italy and condemned Alan Shearer's attitude at the press conference, criticizing the Magpies as a team with no aristocratic background, and another team that once dominated Europe. There is no difference between the English Whites and Leeds United in football, and the final result will be that they will follow in the footsteps of the 'upstart' Leeds United and fall apart...
The article even harshly condemned it. As the head coach of the away team, Madman Li refused to attend the pre-match press conference in accordance with UEFA regulations when he had already arrived in Turin. It was a "very impolite" behavior. , is an act of 'no grace at all', and even more 'disrespect for Juventus'...
In the picture accompanying this article, the scene of Madman Lee standing at the Alp Stadium and directing Newcastle to adapt to the field training is impressive...
As a sports media with huge influence in Italy, this article published by La Gazzetta dello Sport was widely reprinted by many other Italian media and aroused a fierce impact among Italian fans. Among them, the reaction of Juventus fans The most intense incident occurred when a large number of Bianconeri supporters gathered around the hotel where Newcastle was staying, shouting slogans——
"Crazy Li, come out and apologize!"
"Upstart Newcastle get out of Turin!"
"Coward and madman Li, hide in your mother's arms and suck your milk!"
…
At this time, Li Tongfan was taking a nap in the hotel room.
The noise outside the window was comparable to the volume of an ongoing World Cup final. This thing had been going on for two or three hours. Although I couldn't understand Italian, from the ferocious faces and insulting cartoons, As can be seen from the slogan, the Italians around the hotel are definitely not here to ask for autographs...
Here, Newcastle is completely isolated!
The hotel side said there was nothing they could do about the fans causing trouble, but after receiving the call, the Turin police only sent three patrol cars to circle around the hotel, and finally left quietly...
Even Turin fans who have always disliked Juventus do not want the Magpies to take away a victory in this city. No one will help the Newcastle people...
The noise outside the window did not stop at all, and the anger in Li Tongfan's chest grew stronger and stronger. Old Li swore that if he had the Hummer GO-BOOK in his hands at this moment, even if it cost hundreds or thousands of [Character Points], I will definitely give Juventus a 100:0, and nail the team supported by these bastards to the pillar of shame forever, and never be able to turn around...
But now, I don’t know that this life-threatening Hummer GO-BOOK is hidden in the hands of that turtle!
Lao Li is not worried about others discovering his secret.
In fact, Li Tongfan had considered the possibility of his laptop being lost or stolen a long time ago, so when he chose to install the pirated CD, he spent a huge sum of money to buy this military Hummer GO-BOOK notebook!
The confidentiality function of the Hummer GO-BOOK means that even if the thief gets the notebook, he will never be able to open the notebook and learn the contents. When the GO-BOOK is locked, only Li Tongfan in the world can open the notebook by relying on fingerprints and retinal scans. If forced By disassembling the hard drive or other laptop components, all the data inside will be instantly destroyed and turned into a pile of worthless electronic components...
What Li Tongfan is worried about is that if the notebook is not found for a long time, then he will become like those ordinary coaches in the next game and can only rely on his own ability to win the game. Although, after three years, After training, Li Tongfan felt that he was not inferior to anyone. However, it is better to have such a heaven-defying thing in his own hands than to have it wandering outside...
…
"Shet, these sons of bitches have such a fucking unfriendly attitude!"
The first time John Newton, a young bus driver from Newcastle, stepped onto the soil of Turin, he felt a strong atmosphere of hatred. He turned and whispered to the fat man David next to him.
Fat David put on his sunglasses and raised his head: "Because they are afraid of Li. The Italian bitches know that Li is invincible, so they get crazy and angry... John, this is your first time to follow the team abroad. If you play more games in the future, you will get used to it!”
The two of them wandered the streets with their bags on their backs. Although they had not yet found a hotel, it was the first time for David and Newton to find the Alpine Stadium where the game was about to be played, and to find out the distance between the Newcastle hotel and the stadium. The shortest path is what a die-hard Magpies fan should do...
When the two were near the stadium, they suddenly heard a burst of noise and yelling. When they got closer, they saw a group of Italians wearing Zebra uniforms chasing several Englishmen in the street. After beating away their opponent, the Italian fans took out a large portrait of Madman Li from nowhere, poured gasoline on it and burned it with a lighter...
"Son of a bitch..."
Newton threw the bag he was carrying on the ground and rushed forward angrily. Fatty David didn't react for a moment, and it was too late to pull it away...
…
…
March 25th.
Li Tongfan got up very early.
Juventus gathered around the hotel all night long and the noise did not stop for even a second. At first, Lao Li was too noisy, but after listening to an Italian opera like a lullaby with headphones, he soon became Just fell asleep...
The others were not as lucky as Lao Li. He was probably still lying in bed catching up on his sleep. In the huge restaurant, Li Tongfan only saw an acquaintance, Alan Shearer, who was eating a plate of spaghetti bolognese. , the assistant coach has dark circles under his eyes and wears a pair of natural smoky makeup...
When Hiller saw Lao Li's energetic look, he was so surprised that he almost swallowed the stainless steel fork...
Taking advantage of the meal time, the coaching staff held a short meeting and pushed back the training time of the day appropriately. The Hammers could continue to catch up on their sleep in the morning...
After returning to his room, Li Tongfan called Police Officer Johnny in Newcastle to inquire about the progress of the case. The answers he got were as useless as before. Bored and frustrated, Lao Li turned on his computer and browsed the news at will. I soon discovered such a shocking headline——
"English football hooligans fight, blood spills on the streets of Turin"
The news was accompanied by several clear photos. Li Tongfan was able to see the so-called fight scene from them. The blood-stained streets were indeed shocking. The last photo of the so-called 'English football hooligan' being treated in the hospital was Li Tongfan was shocked because Lao Li knew the man in the photo...
"Is it John Newton? What's going on?"
Newton has always been an active member of the 'Flying Magpies' fan club. His wife Neeli has a very good personal relationship with Wang Qinghe, and Lao Li has met Newton many times. The young bus driver's straightforwardness and straightforwardness have impressed Lao Lao. Li left a deep impression. How come he has become a football hooligan today?
Seeing Newton's unconscious appearance in the photo, Li Tongfan couldn't help but worry. He found out from the news the hospital where Newton was treated, and decided to go to the hospital in person to see the specific situation. Unexpectedly, at this time, Newton had a long nose on his nose. Does the little wife with her cute little freckles already know what happened in Italy?
Thinking of this, Lao Li quickly found assistant coach Alan Shearer, and after arranging the team's last training content, he and [Dog Head Strategist] Tolosi Tang drove to St. Mary's Hospital where Newton was receiving treatment...
