Chapter 511 The Whole World Is Shocked [First Update]
The world-famous historical city of Istanbul witnessed the glory of Newcastle's "Four Crowns". When Michael Owen took over the championship trophy from Platini, amidst the sky full of confetti, the Magpie Legion descended on the world and looked down for life. !
In every corner of the world, as long as there is football, fans will look up to that Chinese man with his hands on his hips, who is as majestic as a god under the spotlight of Ataturco, in La Liga, Champions League, Premier League, UEFA Cup... …
God’s conquering footsteps have already passed through too many areas!
Countless reporters, like the most loyal servants, humbly surrounded him. The flashes of camera lenses were like thunder and lightning, which were offering the most gorgeous hymn...
Istanbul, night, conquest...
…
…
The magnificent and exotic scenery of Turkey could not stop the Newcastle Hammers from returning. On the second day after winning the championship, the heroes of St. James boarded the return plane and brought the Bertoni Trophy back to England...
At London International Airport, tens of thousands of Newcastle fans streamed into the airport.
This was a rare scene of jubilation. Fans wearing black and white jerseys came like a tide. They were waiting at the airport like pilgrims. When Irving and Taylor walked out of the cabin holding the championship trophy high, the crowd was like After burning the fuse, the explosive bag finally exploded impatiently...
Afterwards, the police car cleared the way, and numerous private cars drove the Newcastle bus to Newcastle City in a high-profile manner. More fans gathered here, and the crazy and grand scene was even worse than the previous Magpies winning the Premier League championship...
Newcastle has become a sea of joy for the fourth time this season!
And the biggest hero, Crazy Li, received the most shouts. Portraits of Crazy Li were flying everywhere in the sea of people. Some were giving middle fingers, some were putting their hands on their hips, some were angrily scolding reporters and referees, and some were wearing sunglasses to look cool...
When Li Tongfan appeared in the city center square surrounded by the players, there were waves of people in the crowd, and Newcastle, which has become "one of the eight major entertainment cities in the world", fell into a carnival...
"Long live!! Long live!!! Long live Madman Li!!"
"Long live the champion!!"
…
The last two heavyweight competitions before the end of the 2008-09 season - the UEFA Cup final and the UEFA Champions League final - finally came to a gorgeous conclusion amidst the noise and attention!
Although the weight of the UEFA Cup itself is difficult to compare with that of the Champions League final that has not yet started, the legend shrouded in Crazy Li and the huge appeal of the Rossoneri still put the most weighty end to the last UEFA Cup final!
Newcastle's quadruple crown has become a glory that the entire European continent is competing to spread.
When reporting on this heavyweight final, The Times of England used the word "destroy" to describe everything that happened within ninety minutes at Ataturk Stadium: "Crazy Lee's team destroyed AC. Milan, there is no doubt that the huge score of 5:2 also made the night in Istanbul the most exciting final in the history of the UEFA Cup in recent years..."
The pro-Magpie "Observer", adhering to the tradition of cheering for Madman Li, set the tone for this game with "Newcastle created all 7 goals": The article even made fun of Ancelotti - —
"...Master tactician Carlo Ancelotti put all Milan's attackers on the cold bench. He chose Newcastle player Nicolas Gigi. I can't help but wonder: I wonder when Gigi will return to St. James next season. Who will the Milan coach rely on to score goals at San Siro?
The rest of England was naturally not to be far behind. For a time, in Great Britain, the major newspapers and tabloids were all filled with reports of Newcastle winning the Four Crowns——
"Lightning + Nuclear Bomb + Aliens, the luxurious striker is indestructible"
"Four Crowns, the Rise of a Dynasty!" 》
"Thomas Muller, a Rising Star"
"3-4-3!" The craziest final lineup in history"
"Crazy Magpies attack wildly, England-style attack overturns Serie A defense"
"Crazy Lee creates another classic, the UEFA Cup final becomes a historical swan song"
"Newcastle's attacking power is frightening, beating Barcelona to be the best in Europe"
"Absolute superstar - Juan Mata, kicking off Milan's championship dream"
"08-09, a perfect season in black and white exclusively for the Magpies"
…
Unlike the English who are immersed in joy, the media in other top leagues appear to be much more rational. Their eyes are more focused on the performance of the players in the game, the tactical arrangements of the head coaches of both sides and even the performance of the referee...
Although [Flash Killer] Michael Owen became the official best player in the final with two assists and one goal, the player with the most eye-catching performance on the night in Istanbul was not on the side of the victor Newcastle. But it was Nicolas Gigi who once used a goal to push Crazy Li into a desperate situation!
This handsome 18-year-old boy, affectionately called the "Angel of San Siro" by Milan fans, became famous with his arcing long shot and an authentic 30-meter drop ball. Ancelotti insisted on using Gigi's tactical arrangement. He also escaped media criticism.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" even exaggeratedly said: "At that moment, I seemed to see Inzaghi and Del Piero playing together..."
Although Milan finally lost to Istanbul again, Gigi raised his reputation to another level with two goals. For the English teenager, this is a personal victory!
Germany's "Total Market" estimates the English teenager's new market value at 30 million pounds. This figure, throughout the history of European football, is the pinnacle of all 18-year-old players, even Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid. The superstars who are at the peak of their powers have reached this level of worth when they were 18 years old...
Germany's "Bild" focused its attention on the meritorious coach. It unabashedly praised Crazy Li's courage. It believed that under the general trend of the world attaching importance to defense, it was Crazy Li's courageous use that had long been thrown into the garbage of history. The crazy 3-4-3 formation in the box caught the star-studded AC Milan off guard and established a 3-goal lead in the first half. Otherwise, facing a slow-heating model like AC Milan Team, the final winner is still unknown...
French newspaper L'Equipe congratulated Newcastle on their victory in a worried tone, but they devoted more words to worrying about the next season——
"...The fighting power displayed by the new Premier League champions in Istanbul was shocking. Madman Lee personally released a terrifying devil. After conquering the domestic league, Newcastle finally qualified for the Champions League. Starting today, talk about winning the big league." As the favorites of the Ear Cup, I think we not only have to mention Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona... Newcastle will also become a force that cannot be ignored. The rise of the Magpies, the oldest noble in England, has been unstoppable! "

A UEFA Cup final can cause such a tsunami-like noise in the European media circle. This is something that has never happened in the past two decades.
However, just when the noise was still raging, another thing slowly attracted the attention of all Europe - the 2008-09 UEFA Champions League final was held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy!
The two teams competing at the top of Europe are the Red Devils Manchester United and La Liga giant Barcelona.
This game is seen as a direct confrontation between the two post-80s superstars C-Ronaldo and Leo Messi. It is also seen as a coach between the godfather Ferguson and the new champion coach Guardiola. If you use Judging from the tone of the English media, it can be seen as a decisive battle for the Premier League to defend the title of 'the world's first league'!
Hundreds of thousands of fans gathered at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, looking forward to a battle between dragons and tigers. However, the process of the game surprised everyone. The Red Devils were like a tiger with its teeth pulled out during the game, being firmly suppressed by Barcelona and unable to fight back. …
In a normal game, Manchester United did not show any two points, a suppressive defeat!
Barcelona defeated the Premier League giants 2:0.
The result of the game caused the English media, which was clamoring to win the UEFA Cup and Champions League titles before the game, to collapse. No one thought that Manchester United would be so vulnerable in front of Barcelona...
The superstar C-Ronaldo, who was highly expected by the people, fell into a cycle of one-on-one fights after a flash of brilliance in the first fifteen minutes of the game. However, rival Leo Messi scored a wonderful header. This game In the leadership battle of the new generation of stars, C-Ronaldo was completely defeated...
After the game, the Portuguese superstar threw his jersey angrily and was captured by the media. In connection with the rumors that Real Madrid acquired Ronaldo that had been circulating before the game, the astute media had already captured something...
…
…
The European League in the 2008-09 season only belongs to two teams - Barcelona and Newcastle. The former embarked on a dream path under the leadership of coach Guardiola and firmly suppressed the century-old rival Real Madrid in its home league. , and the latter, under the transformation of Crazy Li, embarked on the road of unstoppable rise!
These two teams will compete in the European Super Cup before the start of next season. Impatient fans can't wait for the showdown between the two. Guardiola's emergence in the coaching industry is quite similar to that of Crazy Li. One hopes that this Catalan classic No. 4 will surprise...
However, before that, European football was in unstoppable chaos!
Because the summer transfer market is about to begin.
This summer in European football is destined to be a year that will be recorded in history. Three teams are predicted by the media to become the protagonists of the transfer market——
real Madrid.
Manchester City.
Newcastle.
The first two teams both have huge amounts of money but performed poorly in the season that just ended. Both the fans and the club management were angry and vowed to spend money and buy superstars to compete for the upcoming 2009 season. - Various championships in the 10th season...
The reason why Newcastle was listed in the top three by the media is completely opposite to the first two teams. The media gave the reason why the Magpies can become the protagonist of the transfer market-"There are any players in Europe at the Riggbottom training base." A player that every big team wants to have!”
In other words, Newcastle is a player supermarket in the eyes of the media.
The Magpies have made a sensation this season. Many players on the team have suddenly become hot superstars across Europe from obscurity. They are young, impactful, and hungry for honors... More importantly, they are so lucky to have such great success in their careers. I met a head coach like [God on the sidelines of football] in my early days, so I haven’t tasted the cruelty of professional football yet...
And such players are more likely to be tempted.
Many people acknowledge Crazy Li's personal charm and tough tactics, but they also have to see that in the context of commercial football, Newcastle's inherent financial deficiencies compared to other giants put them in a passive position in the transfer market. , if sky-high prices hit Newcastle clubs and players one by one, there is no guarantee that something shocking will not happen...
What's more, some people speculate: Maybe Crazy Li will accumulate wealth by selling major players on a large scale. After all, from the perspective of the club's long-term development, this is indeed a wise move, because this guy's ability to dig out rough jade out of thin air is better than Wenger is much better, and 'God' will not be afraid of not having stars. With sufficient funds, Crazy Li can use another two or three years to build a new Magpie Corps and sweep across Yunei...
…
Over a period of time, rumors about player transfers have become more and more numerous, like willow catkins floating in March, so many that you can’t even count them——
"Manchester United offers 25 million pounds for Ligue 1 court legend Benzema"
"Kaka is determined to leave San Siro and has initialed a transfer contract with Real Madrid"
"C-Ronaldo: The Premier League has no motivation, I want to change the environment"
"King Ibu of Meazza bids farewell to Apennines"
"Real Madrid wants to buy Newcastle [Angel Wings] Juan Mata"
"From the main force to the fringe, Crespo's separation has occurred"
"Real Madrid and Barcelona compete for the ultimate sword of the Bat Legion"
"Liverpool intends to bring in former golden boy Michael Owen"
"..."
Various transfer rumors have dazzled the eyes of fans. While the stars are vacationing leisurely on the beach with beauties in swimsuits and bikinis, the fans are living a life of "pain and happiness"——
On the one hand, they are frightened and afraid that their favorite stars will be sold by the club overnight, on the other hand, they are eagerly waiting for the big-name stars promised by the club to join!
In order to get the latest transfer news, major media outlets use all kinds of methods such as honey traps, counter-intuitive schemes, theft, and bribery. Even if they are fabricated, the latest superstar news is published every hour, every minute, and every second every day. In newspapers, magazines and websites…
At this chaotic moment when the fireworks were getting more and more eye-catching, an announcement was published on the official website of the Newcastle Club. It was like the "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" that the United States threw at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which instantly made the whole world stunned - —
"...We regret to announce that Mr. Lee Tong-bum, the great head coach who has made an indelible contribution to the club's revival and brought five championships to the fans in one and a half seasons, will no longer serve as the team's head coach due to personal reasons. We assure all Newcastle fans that we will find a suitable head coach as soon as possible!"
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked!
This is definitely the most unbelievable announcement in world football since the end of the 2008-09 season. Madman Li, who owns more than half of the shares of the prosperous Newcastle United and coached the team to an undefeated record, actually resigned from the position of head coach of the Magpies. ?
How can this be?
This is absolutely impossible!
Just like hearing someone say that the fat woman next door is actually the Virgin Mary, many people expressed doubts immediately when they heard this absurd news. However, when they hurriedly went online and saw Newcastle After seeing the announcement in black and white on the club’s official website, and confirming from mobile phones, computers and even calendars that today is not actually April Fool’s Day, all the doubters opened their mouths!
Some people hope that the truth is that Newcastle's official website was actually hacked by hackers who were jealous of the Magpies. The club's hotline was in a frenzied state and was completely blocked within ten seconds of the announcement...
The most intense reaction was from the Newcastle fans. If there is anyone who is indispensable for the current Magpies team, there is no doubt that all the Magpies fans will point at Crazy Li. Only this man who came to the seaport city with the color of myth can win the game. In just one and a half years, a team in the relegation circle of the Premier League has been transformed into a super team that is feared by everyone in Europe...
After confirming the authenticity of the news, the first thing countless Newcastle fans did was to put down everything they were doing and gather in the direction of St. James Park from their homes, offices, buses, train stations or airports... …
The crowd was crowded and the vehicles roared, it was like a strike parade that had never happened in a century!
After confirming the authenticity of the news, everyone's first reaction was -
Why?
Why did Madman Lee resign as Newcastle manager?
What could be more attractive than being a boss and a coach at the same time, making a fortune?
Facts have proven how wise his move to acquire Newcastle a year and a half ago was. At least now he is a super rich man with a net worth of over 100 million. Moreover, as long as he continues to work, he will definitely be able to accumulate more in a short period of time. More incredible wealth and fame...
Did his head get hit by a brick falling from the sky? Was it caught by his own door panel? Was he kicked by a Sichuan donkey?
Obviously, Newcastle United had long anticipated the shock of this news, so soon after the official website announced the announcement, it issued another announcement, saying that it would hold a press conference the next day to explain all the doubts to all fans...
