Chapter 522: The First Month of the Season and the Great Battle [Second Update]
Seeing that it was Chelsea, who was not optimistic, who broke the deadlock, the on-site camera did not immediately switch to Rijkaard, the Magpies head coach, but to Crazy Li, who was sitting in the fan area above the coaching bench. !
Like the fans around him, the man in the camera is holding his head in his hands and making an unbelievable expression. Just from this expression, it is difficult for people to make other guesses...
Courtside.
Rijkaard was expressionless and just yelled something loudly on the court. Not far away from him, the Chelsea command box was filled with joy. Ancelotti and his assistants hugged excitedly, and the substitute players Then he jumped up and rushed to the sidelines and raised his fist high!
In the stadium box, Russian Abramovich showed his iconic smile again, like a shy big boy...
"...Chelsea, who had a mess in the warm-up match, unexpectedly took the lead. Newcastle has not yet entered the state. This is not a good sign. It is really difficult to reverse a team like Chelsea!"
The narrator, Cester, was disappointed and regretful.
Facts have proved that this golden commentator's big mouth is really a bit like a crow's mouth. Not long after he finished speaking, Newcastle lost the ball again——
This time it was Frenchman Malouda who scored the goal.
This man with a hair style like a chicken tail would definitely be at a disadvantage in a fight. After passing Gareth Bale in a hurry on the wing, he fired a cold shot from a small angle. [Spider-Man] Hugo Lowe Reese was unable to block the block, and the football once again ran into the goal from the near corner...
2:0!
As soon as the goal was scored, Rijkaard's expression suddenly changed!
The difference between one goal and the difference between two goals is not just as simple as adding up numbers. Facing a team like Chelsea, falling behind by two goals means that 95% of your body has fallen into the terrifying quicksand. Among them, destruction is imminent!
In an instant, the stands belonging to the blue camp at Wembley Stadium were like a pot of blue paint that was boiling, boiling with water vapor that made people's vision blurry, making the corners of Newcastle people's mouths dry. It's hard to open my eyes...
Looking forward to a hearty victory in a high-profile manner, this is a team that has integrated the tradition of big wins into its blood. However, no one expected that in such a game that is regarded as almost a sure win, , the opponent in poor condition took less than half an hour to let fate hold his throat firmly...
Such irony!
Newcastle fans don't know what to sing at this moment...
This is not St. James, and "COME-IN-HOME-NEWCASTLE" is obviously inappropriate. However, if it is "The Song of Madman Lee", the man with an ugly face standing in front of the team's coaching bench at this moment is not the familiar Madman Lee. !
"...It's unbelievable, what are Newcastle doing? They are acting like a relegated team! And Chelsea only performed 80% of what they should be, and they easily scored two goals... Wow Wow, this is really… really too bad!”
Sester's plaintive tone.
Such commentary makes it easy for people to wonder if this group is complaining because the man standing in front of the command seat is not Madman Li...
…
This time, when the broadcast camera was focused on the fans' stands, Crazy Li, like many Newcastle fans, was holding up the team's scarf and cheering for the players. In addition to the flying spit and flushed face...
However, that pretended to be calm expression made it easy for people to wonder whether the Chairman, who had been so spanked, was already furious at his 'foolish' subordinates...
…
The first half of the game ended quickly with waves of cheers from Newcastle fans.
Although more than 40,000 voices were shouted, the score still maintained 2:0. Chelsea led the players to score two goals that even they themselves felt were a little too easy, and walked in happily. The locker room!
During the halftime break, many people noticed that Madman Li, who had been sitting in the stands, had quietly left at some point. Only Wang Qinghe remained quietly.
"Did the angry madman Li rush to the locker room to personally adjust the team's tactics?"
some Newcastle fans thought with luck.
…
Soon, the second half of the game began.
Rijkaard did not make substitution adjustments, it was still the same eleven people, still in the 4-3-3 formation...
However, Newcastle soon gave the fans a surprise——
49th minute.
Melo stole the ball from Malouda in the backcourt and passed it to Fernando Gago next to him.
Gago took advantage of the situation and made a pass.
The football came to Alan Smith's feet, and Smith's performance was even more amazing. He used his own performance to prove that a macho man can sometimes play tricks - leaning against the defensive player Essien, without even looking at the movements of his teammates behind him. In the first moment, it was a kick...
Michael Owen, who received the pass, spread his legs while running and missed it intentionally.
[Alien] Ronaldo, who was following closely from behind, formed a single-handed attack the moment he caught the ball. The fat man didn't make any adjustments and directly kicked the goal...
The football passed between the legs of Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech.
2:1! !
Newcastle pulls one back!
Wembley Stadium suddenly felt like an active volcano in the process of erupting, spewing out hot magma. It suppressed the enthusiasm in the hearts of most of the Newcastle fans. They finally found a way and reason to vent their anger. Every one of them flushed with anger. Distorted faces, witness the excitement of Magpies fans...
As excited as the fans is Lee Tong-bum as the head coach.
Rijkaard has always emphasized Barcelona-style technical flow control, and Newcastle's attack just now reflects this. The super cooperation of Barcelona and Arsenal did not belong to Barcelona and Arsenal. One touch of the ball instantly tore apart Chelsea's pride. The Great Wall of Steel is like a red-hot iron stamped on cheese, effortlessly!
With such a level of cooperation, Lao Li thinks that although he has led the team to win countless games, he really can't do it. This is talent and there is no way to compare it!
Sester also roared with excitement like a cramp: "GOOOOOOOAL..."
What this guy said next was completely blocked by the roar of the fans, and no one heard it...
…
The game was in suspense because of Ronaldo's goal, but the suspense was quickly killed after ten minutes. The [killer] was Lampard, the core of Chelsea's midfielder. He was a man of steel and was 35 meters away from the goal. A super world wave was launched!
At the end of the game, Newcastle ultimately lost this much-anticipated battle 1:3, just as the final commentator Cester said -
"Ancelotti has already won the first Premier League trophy in his life, while Rijkaard has to wait a little longer. However, the historical rule is that teams that win the Community Shield will eventually lose the league championship. This may be the only consolation for Newcastle..."
Of course, the harsh Premier League media will not let Rijkaard go so easily——
"Li Shi's victory was beaten back to its original shape. How far is Black Swan from Crazy Li?" 》
"Newcastle's prospects for defending the title are not all smooth sailing"
"Rijkaard doesn't adapt to the Premier League"
"The Magpies' new 4-3-3 formation is in name only, Rijkaard needs to change his formation urgently"
…
As the owner of the club, Li Tongfan will naturally be mentioned a lot. Thinking of Crazy Li's arrogant and high-profile performance before the game, this time the media finally found an opportunity to slap Crazy Li in the face, but Lao Li obviously won't be so easy. Give up——
"...The Community Shield is meaningless for Newcastle, our goal is not here...I am very happy that the team scored an incredible goal and everything is going in the opposite direction. I am still full of feelings for Frank." With confidence, he will get all the support he wants from Newcastle!"
This is what Li Tongfan said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Observer.
Li Tongfan's statement made Newcastle fans who were originally extremely disappointed with the result of the game appear to be much more generous in their treatment of Rijkaard. Enthusiastic fans leave words of support on the club's official website every day!
Rijkaard was grateful.
After this brief turmoil, everything is moving in a good direction.
After the Community Shield, Newcastle played two consecutive warm-up matches, winning one and drawing one. Rijkaard began to adjust to the main lineup. [Alien] Ronaldo, [Angel] Gigi and [Flash Killer] Owen became the Dutch The first choice for human risks, and in the midfield, [Angel Wings] Juan Mata replaced Thomas Muller, Melo and Gago firmly occupy the main midfield position...
…
August is about to come to a close, and Real Madrid's crazy spending in the transfer market has helped spark a strong rebound from their century-old rival Barcelona. Guardiola used Eto'o + cash to introduce Sweden from Inter Milan. Man Ibrahimovic!
The worth of 66 million yuan also allowed Ibrahimovic to snatch away the third worth of player transfers that the handsome boy Kaká had not yet put under his butt. As for the superstars, Barcelona finally regained a victory!
The madness continues.
…
August 17th.
The Premier League finally kicked off with much attention.
Newcastle, sitting at home in St. James's, finally showed their style as defending champions. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, they defeated Aston Villa 3:0. The three forwards Owen, Ronaldo and Nicolas Gigi each scored a goal. [Angel Wings] 】Juan Mata contributed three assists and was elected the best player of the game!
What no one knew was that after the game, Rijkaard looked at the 3:0 on the giant electronic scoreboard at the end of the St. James Stadium and said quietly: "What Li said is not wrong at all. , momentum, you must play with momentum, this is the Premier League, not La Liga, I have to speed up my pace..."
After the first round of the Premier League, the traditional top four also achieved victory. Arsenal swept the weak team West Bromwich Albion 4:0 at home and ranked first in the standings with an advantage of four goals. Newcastle ranked first in the standings. The one-goal disadvantage ranks second, third and fourth are Chelsea and Manchester United respectively, and fifth is Liverpool, which narrowly beat Everton by one goal...
Next, until the end of August, Newcastle experienced three more games and achieved a record of two wins and one draw, remaining unbeaten. After four rounds, Newcastle finally succeeded in reaching the top and sat first in the Premier League standings!
Everything seems to be fine!
The transfer market is about to close on the last day of August, and a sense of madness can be smelled everywhere in the five major leagues. Newcastle's first game in the upcoming September will be a severe test——
