Chapter 765 Two goals behind (third update, asking for a monthly ticket)

For the Liverpool players, they just saw a strange scene outside Newcastle's home court-everyone has heard of the funeral for a cat and a dog, and it is not rare.But for the funeral at the stadium... it was the first time they had met.

But for Newcastle players, this matter will definitely affect their mood to some extent.

Everyone is a Newcastle player, and they have stayed in Newcastle for at least half a season. In the past, even they themselves have always called their stadium by that name - St. James Stadium, not some awkward sports Direct stadium.

Now the name of this stadium is suddenly pried off in a rude way, and many players who have played for Newcastle for many years really cannot accept this result for a while.Originally, this matter has passed, but the funeral of the Newcastle fans once again aroused the churning dissatisfaction and sorrow in their hearts.

Newcastle's head coach Pardew also noticed the slight change in mood among the players.For the head coach, knowing what the players are thinking is a compulsory course for them.

He realized that if he allowed this emotion to interfere with the performance of the players, it would take a second.Although Liverpool's recent rounds of the league have not been good, they are also opponents that should not be underestimated.The players had better cheer up, otherwise it would be a big loss to lose the game at their own home court.

After he walked into the locker room, he clapped his hands.

Everyone looked up at him.

"I understand the anger of the fans about taking the St James' Park marker off. But you have to remember, you are not the fans. Once the game starts, it's the result on the pitch that counts. I think the fans trust the players and they know you will have Work hard. Don't let the fans down, they're here to watch you win, not a bunch of distracted people sleepwalking around the field. Otherwise, they'd probably do better by themselves. Guys , the reason why Newcastle is great is not because of the name of a stadium, but because your predecessors have accumulated every victory and defeat in every game. Please keep this in mind.”

When Chen Yingxiong followed his teammates out of the player tunnel, he raised his head and looked around. Sure enough, he saw the new red and blue logo on the roof eaves of the stadium - "Sports Direct Sports Stadium".

"This name is really ugly..." Chen Yingxiong muttered.

He felt sad for the Newcastle fans - with such a tasteless owner, fans of other teams would be laughed at when they called their home ground.

St. James' Park, which can accommodate 5 people, is the third largest stadium in the Premier League, second only to Old Trafford and the Emirates Stadium.When Newcastle was founded in 380, it was the home ground.The sale of stadium naming rights is not new in England. There are three Premier League stadiums named after sponsors: Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, Bolton's Reebok Stadium and Wigan's DW Stadium.However, these three stadiums were relocated and invested by sponsors to build new ones. Even so, this naming method is still controversial due to lack of humanistic spirit and excessive commercialization.And it is unprecedented in the Premier League to change the name of a famous stadium with a history of 1892 years like Ashley... Knowing this, you will not think that Magpies fans will make such an extreme way of burying "St. James' Park" It feels strange to express dissatisfaction.

※ ※ ※

After the start of the game, the performance of the Newcastle players was fairly normal. This may be related to what the head coach Pardew said before the game-they were successfully pulled out of the mental state by Pardew.

So they took the lead very quickly and it wasn't just a ball.

In the first half of the game, Newcastle played at home and achieved a two-goal lead.This somewhat dilutes the sadness of Newcastle fans for the home name change.

St. James' Park Stadium... Uh, no, it should be that the atmosphere in the stands of the sports-directed stadium is much more active than at the beginning of the game.

But this kind of activity is not all cheering for the team. They are active because they can finally attack the club chairman Ashley with peace of mind. The team is worried, for fear of being equalized by Liverpool.Now that they are leading by two goals, what is there to be afraid of?

Now the show is... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. !

Newcastle fans turned their backs and sang and attacked their club chairman.

"Ashley! You're a Newcastle sinner! You're going to hell! St. James' Park is watching you!"

"We have an idiot, an idiot that none of you have! He made us look so ugly! Humiliated everyone! That idiot is Mike Ashley!!"

Ashley was sitting in the rostrum with no expression on his face, and he couldn't see what he meant by burying the name "St. James' Park".

Just how much do Newcastle fans hate Ashley?

There was once a Newcastle fan named Alan McCann who was beaten up by angry Newcastle fans because he looked too much like Mike Ashley.Although he argued at the time that he was not Ashley because he was not as fat as Ashley, he was still beaten to death.Even if he went to watch the Newcastle game live, he was repeatedly abused by the fans.

So much so that now he can't wear a Newcastle jersey when he goes to the stadium to watch the game, but has to wear a white T-shirt with the words: "I'm not fucking Ashley!"

It was so lively in the stands, but the game on the court was a bit dull.

To be honest it wasn't a great game and Newcastle had nothing to show for it apart from two goals.

But football is so strange sometimes, you don't perform well, but you can win.

Of course, Newcastle, who performed poorly, can still lead by two goals because their opponent Liverpool performed even worse...

"The performance of the Liverpool team and Chen Yingxiong has not improved. Now Liverpool's best player is Suarez. His dribbling and breakthrough are the team's most threatening offense. But he lacks support and more often It's one person fighting alone..."

"The performance of the hero that Liverpool can rely on the most is still sluggish. Of course, his performance is not sluggish in theory, it can only be said to be average. But who made his previous performance so good? It is completely beyond the recognition of ordinary people. cognitive category, so when his performance is only average, we will feel that he is in a slump..."

Yes, Chen Yingxiong's performance in this game cannot be called sluggish, it can only be regarded as... average.But everyone had too high expectations of him before, that's why as long as he didn't perform to his due level, everyone rushed to say that he was in a slump.

Of course, Chen Yingxiong still doesn't need to head the ball.Everyone still doesn't understand why?Could it be that he has a wound on his head that cannot be touched?
This kind of thinking is close to the truth, but everyone thinks it is nonsense-who saw that Chen Yingxiong had a wound on his head?Well!
What will he do if his teammates still hit a high ball without heading the ball?

Chen Yingxiong invented a method, that is... use the chest to stop the ball!

Yes, it's harder to use the chest than the head, and you can't compete with others when you jump up.But Chen Yingxiong is tireless and persistent in doing so.Because it's the only way...

The first half ended in this dull rhythm.Newcastle leads by two goals, and comparing the performance of their opponent Liverpool, it should not be a problem to win this game.

So throughout the intermission, Newcastle fans were in series, discussing how to continue to deal with Ashley in the second half.

In the locker room, Dalglish's face was very serious.

The team fell behind by two goals in the away game and the future was uncertain. Although he had prepared well, he still didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

Liverpool players also feel depressed.This is the third game since coach Dalglish decided to change the team's offensive tactics, and the team has not won a game.

If it weren't for Dalglish's high prestige, I'm afraid the players would have rebelled by this time.It's also fortunate that Dalglish has such great prestige within the team... otherwise the team would have been in chaos.

Faced with such a situation, Dalglish is really helpless.

He had no choice but to say: "I won't put any pressure on you for the rest of this game. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. Anyway, our goal for this season has been accomplished..."

Yes, the team has qualified for the European competition.Even if they lose all the next games, as long as they are not relegated, it doesn't matter.

This is a bit discouraging, but it is the team's real reaction.Faced with such a situation, Dalglish has nothing to do.The only thing he can do is to keep going.In fact, even if there is no such thing as Chen Yingxiong, he has already realized that if Liverpool's tactics do not change, I am afraid there is still no hope.In modern football, it is a dead end to continue to stick to what was done more than ten years ago.

In any case, he wants to make Liverpool's tomorrow better, so the reform should start with himself.

Chen Yingxiong looked at the boss's face. In fact, he was only 61 years old, but he looked as if he had aged ten years rapidly.

He knows why the boss is aging rapidly.

He can no longer sit idly by...

Otherwise, it's too uninteresting, right?
Many people think that Chen Yingxiong is not in good form in these few games. In fact, only the first game against Queens Park Rangers is really bad. At other times, he is more dragged down by the team's overall sluggish state.But who told him to be the number one star of the team?If the team can't win the ball, who will you scold if you don't scold?Naturally, he also has to bear tremendous pressure.It's just that Chen Yingxiong didn't take these pressures seriously.

The team's performance still hasn't improved, so what can I do to help the boss?

It's a free kick!
