Chapter 534
After returning to Newcastle from London, the Newcastle United team received a grand welcome again. The League Cup, the League Championship, and the FA Cup have been won. Newcastle has won three championships this season, and Newcastle fans have celebrated three times.
"One more! One more! Another!"
When the Newcastle United bus slowly drove past the streets of downtown Newcastle, the fans on both sides of the street shouted in unison, this is their new goal, even though Newcastle has already won the Triple Crown, but everyone knows that no matter how many championships, if there is no Champions Cup winner in it, the gold content of these several championships will be greatly reduced.
Even the Newcastle players couldn't hold back their excitement, although they knew early on that Newcastle's goal this season was to win all the championships, but which season did a giant like Newcastle not aim at all the championships?A team without ambition before the start of the season cannot be called a giant at all!Of course, whether it can be done is another matter.
They have never doubted their own strength, but there will always be accidents on the football field. They are more excited than the fans to be able to get to the current situation step by step.
One game left!If you win, you will be able to create an unprecedented miracle!In the future, there will only be people catching up, and no one will be able to surpass!
Of course, in theory, someone will surpass it. After all, Newcastle did not win the Community Shield and the UEFA Super Cup this season, but if Newcastle can win these two cups next season, and then win the World Club Cup.
There was no large-scale celebration after the game. Although it was not easy to win the championship, it was not time to relax. They had already vented their emotions and pressure when they won the league championship. The next carnival will only be celebrated when they truly become the quadruple champions.
Mourinho gave the team for a day of leave. It is more than a week before the Champions Cup finals. There is enough time to adjust the player's status. The finals of the FA Cup can win under such a difficult situation. It is inseparable from the previous rest of Newcastle's players. Players who are full of speed are full of the entire game, and they can continue to sprint on the court. This is the biggest factor in Newcastle's victory in the final stage.
No matter how good Long Bisheng's physical fitness is, he can't support the whole team. If he doesn't have a steady stream of teammates to provide him with assists, he can't win two cities in a row at the last moment. He can quickly become the team's top scorer and offensive core in his first season in Newcastle. Apart from his personal efforts and unique characteristics, Mourinho's almost tailor-made offensive tactics for him and the discipline of Newcastle players in executing tactics are the most important factors. Most of the time, Long Bisheng does not need himself. To grab offensive opportunities, you don’t need to go back to the backcourt to help defend. You can always do what he does best. You only need to fight against the opponent’s defender, compete for headers, and take the ball and divide it...
Day by day, except for the two teams of Newcastle and Arsenal, the other teams in Europe have basically been disbanded. Players who have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup began to report to the national team, and other players were preparing for vacation.As the last major game in Europe this season, this English civil war has attracted enough attention.
Both Newcastle and Arsenal are big players in the international football team. The national team coaches who own these players are probably both happy and worried. The happy thing is that these players have shown a very good competitive state this season. The worry is that they have less rest than other players for more than a week or even 20 days. There are many examples in history that performed well in the league in the World Cup year but suddenly failed in the World Cup. These players are basically the backbone of the national team.
The final roster of the Chinese team has not yet been determined. Ding Yu just announced a 30-man roster. The final submission date for the 23-man roster for the World Cup is June [-]. Before that, Ding Yu can decide the final candidate based on the status and injuries of the players in the roster.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Long Bisheng and Messi. Given their state this season, even if Ding Yu loses his mind, he will not not recruit them into the team, unless they are injured before the start of the World Cup...but that will be the biggest nightmare for the Chinese national team and themselves.
After a week of training in Newcastle, the Newcastle team set off and flew to Marseille, France three days in advance, where the final venue will be held at the Velodrome Stadium.
The Velodrome Stadium is one of the stadiums built by France to host the 1998 World Cup, but this time it will host the Champions League final, and the participating teams are two English teams. As a Frenchman who always has some conflicts and frictions with the United Kingdom, it is really uncomfortable. However, it is a fact that Ligue 04 teams cannot enter the four major European leagues in terms of competitiveness.
However, this did not stop the fans of Newcastle and Arsenal from singing their team songs and traveling across the ocean to France to cheer for their favorite teams. These big men with big waists and red faces brought by alcohol began to pour into Marseille in large numbers. While bringing a lot of economic income to Marseille, it also put countless pressure on the Marseille police.
**************************************
Standing on the streets of Marseille, Nie Fei looked at the Newcastle fans everywhere on the street with some disinterest. The former Chinese national team legend and former Newcastle midfielder stood by a wall, and the shadow cast just shrouded him. The Newcastle fans did not notice this person who had left them for four years.
If he was a few years younger, he might be able to compete with his boss and coaches for the quadruple championship this season. Although Nie Fei has won all the championships in Newcastle, and in Yunjia Tianyu, he has also won the FA Cup, A-A, Asian Winners Cup and Asian Club Cup, but such honors are hard to come by.
The 37-year-old Nie Fei has officially announced his retirement after the end of the Chinese Super League at the end of last year. He is now a member of Yunjiatianyu's management team and also serves as the honorary principal of a football school. After reaching the Champions Cup final this year, Pei Wei has not forgotten Nie Fei and his old courtiers.
Think about the time I first met my boss, I was only 17 years old, and 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye. Back then, I was just a young player who didn’t know his future and had already retired with great success, and the boss who was in full bloom at the time is now very old. Time really can take everything away.
In fact, Nie Fei was only 33 years old when he left Newcastle four years ago. This age is not too old for a midfielder who is famous for his skills and awareness, and his condition has always been very good. Pei Wei and Mourinho have also kept him. However, because his wife Jian Ying has been coaching women's football in China, Nie Fei, who has been in the European arena for too long, is a little tired, so he insisted on returning to Yunjiatianyu. Castle would have absolutely no problem serving as a suitable substitute, Drogba is only a year younger than him and is still at Newcastle.
However, nothing can be forced. Since the choice has been made at that time, there is no need to continue to worry about it. After all, for most players, Nie Fei's career is perfect enough.
Sighing again, Nie Fei came out from the shadows, intending to return to the hotel where he was staying. This time he came with Ai Lin, Zhu Guosheng and some old friends of Wu Jiang. Both Ai Lin and Wu Jiang had already retired, while Zhu Guosheng hadn't retired yet. The lifespan of central defenders is always particularly long.
Those three guys are going crazy in the hotel now, Zhu Guosheng is flirting with the waiter in the hotel with his half-baked English, Ai Lin and Wu Jiang are fighting for wine, these guys haven't changed much for so many years, maybe except for Ai Lin.
Turning a corner, Nie Fei happened to collide with a person walking towards him. Nie Fei was about to say sorry, and then he looked at the other person in surprise: "Xiao Sun?"
"Damn, Xiao Feizi, it's actually you?" The visitor punched Nie Fei on the shoulder: "I can meet you here...and hit me!"
"It was you who hit me, okay...you also received the ticket from the boss?" Nie Fei asked with a smile.
"Of course, otherwise, why would I come here?" The person who came here was the former Chinese national team full-back Sun Chenghai who was a teammate with Nie Fei in Yunjiatianyu at that time, but was an opponent in the Premier League. He also retired the year before last, but he did not work in Yunjiatianyu. Hometown teams play their part.
"Then why don't you come to France with us? It's more lively." Nie Fei was a little surprised.
"Forget it." Sun Chenghai laughed: "You guys must support Newcastle...I support Arsenal! Come with you, I'm afraid I will fight you on the plane."
"How could we bully you?" Nie Fei smiled. After all, even though Wenger is the first foreign head coach in Yunjiatianyu's history, you can ask these old courtiers of Yunjiatianyu, they will definitely only support Newcastle - the reason is very simple, Newcastle's boss is Pei Wei, who is also their boss.
The situation of Sun Chenghai is different. The first season he came to Yunjiatianyu was the season when Wenger was the coach of Yunjiatianyu. After he became famous in the World Cup, Wenger immediately bought him with 300 million pounds, the most valuable Chinese player at that time, and made him quickly become Arsenal's main full-back and won the first top league championship in Europe. more than Newcastle.
"Since we met here, it is fate, how about going for a drink together? Lin Zixiao Wu and Guo Sheng live with me, have you not seen each other for a long time?" The bickering was back to bickering, and Nie Fei still extended the invitation very friendly.
"Okay." Sun Chenghai readily agreed, anyway, he was alone, otherwise he wouldn't be so bored wandering around the streets of Marseille alone.
**********************************************
When Nie Fei and Sun Chenghai met on the streets of Marseille, another group of people are now wandering the streets of Marseille.
"You idiots around here. If you are going to book a hotel, you can actually forget it. Let us drink Northwest wind on the street? Tell me, what can you do? Why can't you do it? Why don't you have food?" Li Jie looked at the Newcastle fans gathered on the street boredly, cursing around.
He shrank his neck and didn't dare to make a sound. He was really wrong. Long Bisheng sent the tickets to several good friends, so Dai Guangming and his gang made an appointment to watch the Champions League final live before going to the national team to report. Zhang Yi, who was playing in France, was going to book a room, but the surrounding people didn't know what medicine they took wrong and had to book it by themselves, but in the end they couldn't get it...
"If you kill the girl, it's more than a failure." Dai Guangming gloated from the side.
"Da Guangming of the dog day, if you gloat over others' misfortune, I will fight with you." The surrounding said with teeth and claws.
"Damn it, you guys still want to make trouble now." Wu Bufan yawned: "I'm tired, I need to find a place to sleep...We can't let us sleep on the street."
Hu Gandang was next to him with a look of contempt: "I said you guys from Hubei are no good, right? You can't even book a hotel. It would be nice to let Zhang Yi do it earlier. Now Zhang Yi is going to be in the same place. It's impossible for the brothers to sleep on the streets."
"Forget it." Dai Guangming sighed and said, "Let me call Aaron. Maybe he has a way. With the style of the boss, he must have booked the entire hotel where they stayed, and asked Aaron to talk to the boss. Let the brothers have a place to settle down."
"Call quickly, call quickly." The surroundings came alive: "Actually, I thought of this a long time ago, but I didn't have time to say it..."
Before the words were finished, several other people immediately started beating the surroundings: "You bastard, you are still talking cheap at this time, you can kill him, so as not to waste food."
Covering their faces, they shouted, "It's fine to slap your body, don't slap your face..."
After receiving Dai Guangming's call, Long Bisheng couldn't help laughing. The six professional players almost ended up on the streets of Marseille because they didn't book a hotel in advance due to habit. But having said that, the professional players traveled with the team and didn't need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the hotels where they usually vacation would not be full, so this embarrassing situation seems to be understandable.
After laughing, Long Bisheng immediately agreed to help them to ask the boss Pei Wei. In a strange city, it is dangerous for a few foreigners to sleep on the streets. They are his invited guests, and he will feel guilty if something happens.
Thinking about it, Pei Wei would easily agree to this request. Although he booked the hotel to keep the Newcastle players from being disturbed, Dai Guangming and the others are not journalists, and they are also members of the Chinese national team.
Dai Guangming and the others let go of their worries and began to look at the Newcastle fans everywhere on the street. These Newcastle fans who were still wandering the streets at this late hour were basically descendants of Newcastle miners with rough temperaments.
And the local Marseille fans don’t seem to dislike the Newcastle fans. Dai Guangming and the others saw with their own eyes a group of Newcastle fans chanting "Long live Newcastle" to another group of Marseille fans, and the Marseille fans immediately replied that they hoped that Newcastle would win. Even if it is not incompatible, at least they are quite uncomfortable with each other. After Marseille was relegated due to a match-fixing case, Monaco fans laughed at them. Naturally, they were very happy to see Monaco fail to win the Champions League. Naturally, they have a good impression of Newcastle who defeated Monaco.
"It seems that playing here is more beneficial to Newcastle. At least compared with Arsenal, the local fans in Marseille will probably support Newcastle more, even though Arsenal play better." Dai Guangming said thoughtfully.
"Isn't that what we want to see? We are all here to cheer for Aaron!" The surrounding waved their fists, and then shouted twice at another group of Newcastle fans: "Newcastle! Newcastle!"
"Newcastle must win!" The group of fans chanted slogans and walked past them.
"Okay, Aaron is calling, we can go directly to the hotel where he is staying! Let's go!" Dai Guangming raised the phone in his hand and shouted.
