Chapter 520 Magpie warm-up match record [Second update]
Before the game started, Li Tongfan and Wang Qinghe quietly appeared in the stands. Their seats were above the home team's command seat, surrounded by fans!
This is the first time that Lao Li has appeared in the stands of St. James as a spectator since he took charge of Newcastle. Like Wang Qinghe, when he does not bring Li Ying and He Feng to watch the game, Lao Li prefers to squeeze among the fans even if he is sweaty, rather than sitting quietly in a comfortable box to enjoy in a suit and leather shoes...
The reason is simple. In Lao Li’s view, people who really like football are more willing to listen to the cheers coming up like a tsunami at close range with their ears, and they are more willing to use their backs and cheeks to feel the heat coming out of the mouths of their partners.
This time, although Lao Li and Wang Qinghe both wrapped up and dressed up a lot, within a few minutes, the fans around them happily recognized their true faces...
The fans around stood up and applauded first, and then, like a ripple on the water surface that was spreading rapidly, the more than 4 Newcastle fans who came to watch the friendly match in the stands all stood up...
Because on the four huge electronic screens hanging on the top of the stadium, the slightly surprised faces of Li Tongfan and Wang Qinghe appeared!
Cheers and applause became the main theme at this moment!
The TV broadcast camera also left behind the players who were shaking hands with each other and prepared to start the battle, and shifted over. The commentator Sester laughed and teased——
"Oh oh oh oh, what a big surprise! Who did we see? Crazy Chairman Li! He was a little thinner than before, probably because of his illness, but we are very pleased that the surging fighting spirit on Crazy Li is still so surprising. He sat among the fans, and the whole stadium trembled with excitement because of his arrival. The fans expressed their respect for this young man with a standing ovation and applause..."
……
Rijkaard was carefully observing the situation of his opponent Florence from the command seat at this time, when suddenly cheers sounded like a tsunami in his ears, and he was taken aback!
When he looked up and saw the face on the big screen in the middle of the field, the Dutchman instantly understood what was going on. Although he had been surprised more than once by the super prestige of Madman Lee here after coming to Newcastle, this time, [Black Swan] was still shocked!
"Just one appearance can cause such a big reaction from the fans... Crazy Li, sooner or later, I will let these people cheer for me like this... No, the cheering will be even more crazy and enthusiastic! Definitely!"
Rijkaard clenched his fist, fiercely!
……
The game will start soon.
Rijkaard insisted on his best 4-3-3 formation——
Hugo Lloris appeared on the goal line. Marcelo, Taylor, Senderos and Santon lined up on the back line. Fernando Gago, new Brazilian aid Felipe Melo and Alan Smith formed a midfield three. On the front line were [alien] Ronaldo, Michael Owen and Nicolas Gigi who returned from loan from Milan!
This starting lineup did not exceed the expectations of the pre-match media. Although the formation was different, the stable Rijkaard chose the old team of Madman Lee. After all, these players have cooperated for a long time, and there is no tacit understanding. Among the new players, only Melo appeared in the starting lineup, and Gigi... the new favorite of England left St. James for only half a season!
From the very beginning, Newcastle showed a strong desire to attack——
5 minutes.
The new aid Melo was not polite at all against his old club Fiorentina. With a tough tackle, he broke the ball at the feet of Mario Santana, who was trying to pass others. With a long pass, the alien headed the ball. Gigi succeeded in turning offside. The pendulum dribbled away goalkeeper Frey and scored an empty goal...
1: 0!
St. James cheers!
In the camera, Li Tongfan and Wang Qinghe also jumped up excitedly, applauding desperately...
"...This is a perfect start. The teenager Gigi, who is on loan from AC Milan, has shown incredible form. He is more cunning than Inzaghi, and he has a fatal blow! Although it is only a long and insignificant warm-up match, Rijkaard's team still showed a good competitive state!"
sidelines.
Rijkaard rushed from the command seat to the sidelines and waved excitedly. Obviously, the Dutchman was very satisfied with the goal he scored so quickly!
……
In this game, Newcastle showed an extraordinary state. Rijkaard's 4-3-3 achieved great results. Newcastle took a 4:1 lead in the first half, which was unstoppable!
In addition to Gigi's goal, Ronaldo scored twice with a single shot and a long-range shot. Owen overwhelmed Fiorentina central defender Gambreni with a header and scored a goal. At the end of the first half, "Violet" got a miss from the goal wall by the head striker Gilardino and pulled back a point...
"...In a hearty halftime, Rijkaard showed a climax of coaching skills... Of course, this is not unrelated to the previous efforts of Madman Lee. You must know that last season, Madman Lee also used a set of 4-3-3 to beat the invincibles in the Premier League. Players are no strangers to such tactics!"
"...Look at what adjustments Rijkaard will make in the second half!"
……
After a short intermission, the second half began.
The main function of the warm-up match is to polish tactics and train players. Rijkaard understands this well. He made a large-scale substitution at the beginning of the second half. The teenager Thomas Muller replaced the alien Ronaldo.
Florence also made substitution adjustments, and Gilardino, who scored a goal, went to rest!
After 45 minutes, the total score became 6:3. Mata and Muller scored goals. The talented [Dutch Beckham] van der Vaart contributed two wonderful assists, and it was midfielder Montolivo who scored for Florence!
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, St. James became a sea of joy. Before, there were fans who were worried that the departure of Madman Lee would cause turmoil in the team. They didn't trust Rijkaard, a guy who had never rolled in the Premier League. However, after this game, some of their worries were finally removed!
Even though it was a friendly match, there were 6 teams that could make it to Fiorentina's level, at least retaining the team's dazzling attacking ability!
……
"Magpies spread their wings in the black swan era, and their crazy attack power continues unabated"
"Li Shuai won the house at the first stop"
"Mad Lee: Satisfied with Rijkaard's performance"
Rijkaard: Alien is brilliant, Gigi is incredible
"Newcastle's two new aids, Melo van der Vaart wins a full house"
"..."
This warm-up match was exaggerated by the English media David, Rijkaard was initially recognized by the arrogant and arrogant English gentlemen, and people also expressed their affirmation of Crazy Lee's selection criteria!
The performance of the team made Newcastle fans full of confidence!
……
The middle of July is almost here, and the summer transfer market is still full of smoke!
At this time, the Russian tycoon Abramovich finally rose to prominence. On July 7, he did a major event that made all AC Milan fans blow their beards and stare with resentment——
Seduce the fat version of the tactician Carlo Ancelotti.
The stupidity of the top management of the Rossoneri this summer finally made them lose Ancelotti, an excellent head coach who is used to submissiveness and can always bring records to the team!
What makes San Siro even worse is that Fatty, who left England, even took advantage of his personal prestige in Milanello, wielding a big shovel to dig up the wall without hesitation, and tried his best to please the new club. Pirlo, Pato, Gattuso and others were rumored to follow their mentor Ancelotti to Stamford Bridge!
Another team that is going to vomit blood is probably the Gunners Arsenal. The two generals of the team-[Little Warcraft] Adebayor and Kolo Toure finally couldn't resist.
The gunman is seriously injured!
Among the traditional four giants, Liverpool's downsizing situation is also very serious. Last summer, the Spanish chubby Benitez was concentrating on seducing Villa's Barry, and even mobilized his mind to exchange Alonso for Barry, which finally broke Alonso's heart. The Spanish midfielder accepted the embrace of Real Madrid in a rage. The golden combination of Alonso and Mascherano became the swan song in football...
……
The time has entered late July, and all teams have started the final warm-up match before the season.
Since the old Lee Rijkaard both belong to the uncle with a relatively wide network in Spanish football, therefore, the first stop of Newcastle's summer warm-up match was chosen to be in Spain——
7 month 17 day.
Newcastle beat Getafe 4:1, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the first half, Owen scored a goal...
7 month 19 day.
Newcastle drew 2:2 with Atletico Madrid, Gigi and youngster Muller each scored a goal...
7 month 23 day.
Newcastle 3:1 Espanyol, van der Vaart scored twice from a free kick, and Taylor scored a goal from a corner kick...
……
After two consecutive wins and one tie in the Spanish warm-up match, Newcastle returned to England amidst praises, and began to prepare for the first official game of the 09-10 season - the England Community Shield game!
Newcastle's opponent in the Community Shield is the Blues Chelsea!
Ancelotti and Rijkaard, these two famous coaches who have played against each other before, will work hard for the first Premier League trophy in their lives after their first landing in the Premier League!
Compared with Newcastle, which has undergone a big change, the blue team Chelsea has not undergone any major changes in terms of players except for Ancelotti, a tactical master. Perhaps the new tactical formation has not been honed.
Compared with Newcastle, which has basically completed the blood change, Chelsea seems to be still in the middle of a busy transfer operation. The rumored Pirlo and Pato have not yet arrived, and [Warcraft] Drogba and [Iron Man] Lampard were once again seduced by the madman Mourinho in the Apennines. The atmosphere within the team does not seem to be very harmonious!
The English media seems to be more optimistic about Newcastle's victory in the Community Shield!
"...Although the investment is not much, judging from the speed and quality of building the team configuration for Rijkaard, Crazy Li, as the chairman of the club, is still very competent. Such a Crazy Li is indeed worthy of applause and cheers from all the fans in every game!"
The words of the "Observer" were unanimously agreed by the English media.
……
……
Before the Community Shield match, Newcastle played another warm-up match at home and beat West Ham United 2-0. After the game, Rijkaard came to Li Tongfan.
"Li, the team needs a high center forward. In this way, our tactics can be enriched, and it may be useful when facing the opponent's secret defense!"
Since Li Tongfan was also a head coach, Rijkaard did not go into too much detail, and he believed that Li Tongfan would understand what he meant.
"Oh? So, do you have a suitable candidate?" Li Tongfan seemed to have a positive attitude towards [Black Swan].
"If it is the most suitable one, of course it is the Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. I heard that he is not willing to stay in Inter Milan any longer..." Rijkaard was not surprised, and the name he proposed almost made Lao Li feel bad.
"If you say that, I suddenly think of someone..." Lao Li thought for a while, and the name of a high-potential little demon just found in the FM2010 database jumped into his mind, and that guy happened to be in Newcastle...
So, Lao Li smiled triumphantly: "Frank, I suggest you go to the youth team to have a look, I think, maybe you can find a suitable partner!"
Youth team?
child?
Rijkaard has not been to the youth team since he came to Newcastle. In his first impression, a team like Newcastle, after all, does not have the La Masia youth training school like Barcelona, so there should be no good seedlings in the youth team!
However, since it was suggested by the club owner, he felt that he should check it out.
After all, this boss has another identity, that is "God on the sidelines of the football field". He is recognized all over the world in terms of discovering young players, and he is very bright with Professor Wenger for a while. Maybe there is really some super genius hidden!
……
Early the next morning, after handing over the team's training matters to assistant coach Alan Shearer, Rijkaard came to Newcastle's youth training camp alone.
The little players are doing simple training with the ball. [Black Swan] Among the more than 40 little guys, I saw two big guys with a height of nearly two meters at a glance...
"Could it be that Li was talking about the two of them?"
-
Guess who Lao Li is talking about?
Ronaldo has retired, and he has never known what to say. He is always in a skeptical attitude, as if he is deluding himself. It is hard to believe that the fat man really left the football field?
With the departure of a generation of idols, the corners of my eyes really feel moist!
Let's cherish those old stars who are still fighting!
