Chapter 467 Newcastle's goal

New season, new start!
For the fans of the four major European leagues, every August is an exciting day for them, because from this time on, the four major leagues of England, Spain, Italy and Germany will gradually kick off. The new season is the beginning of a new year for them, and it is also the beginning of anticipation!
The fans of the rich are eager for the championship, the mid-range teams are eager for a breakthrough, and the first goal of the underdog is to avoid relegation... Just like human society, everyone has different goals!
For Newcastle, which has not had a championship for two years, there is only one goal for the new season, and that is the championship!Whether it is the league or the Champions League!As for the League Cup and the FA Cup, it's best to have them, and it doesn't matter if they don't!
In the past ten years, Newcastle fans are no longer satisfied with winning championships like the League Cup or the FA Cup, which have become more and more tasteless. Only the league championship and the Champions League championship can satisfy their growing appetite.

In the past ten years, Newcastle has never fallen out of the top four of the Premier League, and has never been eliminated in the Champions League group stage. They have won two league titles, two Champions Cup titles, one UEFA Super Cup title, three League Cup titles and one FA Cup title.

What is a wealthy family?It is not enough to win one or two championships to be called a rich family. There is still a long way to go from a dark horse to a rich family.

Take the Champions League, the highest honor of European clubs, as an example. Real Madrid has won the Champions League nine times. Of course they are rich. AC Milan has won seven times.

Ajax and Bayern have each won four times. They are absolute giants in their respective leagues. Manchester United and Barcelona, ​​which have won three times, are also giants. However, there are six teams that have won the Champions League twice. They are Benfica, Porto, Inter Milan, Nottingham Forest, Juventus and Newcastle. Inter Milan, Juventus and Newcastle are giants, but what about the other three?In Europe, Benfica and Porto are no longer giants, and Nottingham Forest has been struggling in the British Championship...

Look at the teams that have won the Champions League again—Aston Villa, Red Star Belgrade, Steaua Bucharest, Borussia Dortmund, Feyenoord, Hamburg, Celtic, Marseille, Eindhoven, Chelsea—except for Chelsea, which of these teams can be regarded as a giant now?Only those who can be in the top positions in their country's league for a long time and have strong competitiveness in the Champions League for a long time can be regarded as a wealthy family!
Before Pei Wei took over, although Newcastle was the most popular team in the Premier League, they were still not considered giants!However, in the past ten years, they have been in the top four in the Premier League and the top sixteen in Europe, which made Newcastle leave the impression of a wealthy family in the hearts of fans all over the world!
What is a wealthy family?The giants may encounter huge difficulties, and they may not win the championship for several years or even more than ten years, but their performance is still stable, and they can still have a huge fan base. This is the giants!

Why did Chelsea and Newcastle quickly become European-level giants after Abramovich and Pei Wei injected huge sums of money into Chelsea and Newcastle?Because before their capital injection, Chelsea was under the management of Betts, with Gullit, Zola, Vialli, Laudrup, Desailly and other stars joining successively. Under the leadership of Gullit and Vialli and other coaches, they already had a lot of fame in Europe; They already have the background to become a wealthy family, so after the huge investment of Abu and Pei Wei, they can rise rapidly immediately!Because of the factor of a team becoming a wealthy family, they only lacked a huge amount of money, and Abramovich and Pei Wei brought them the last link!
On the other hand, Manchester City, although those Arabs have invested more than Pei Wei and Abramovich in recent years, they still haven't won any valuable championships. Even when they just took over and now, when they are competing for famous stars, even if they pay more money and give better treatment, ambitious stars are not willing to come to Manchester City!

This is the difference in background, Manchester City has always been a civilian team, while Chelsea and Newcastle have a higher reputation than them!

******************************************
However, last season, Manchester City won a heavyweight championship, that is, the FA Cup, so the appetizer of English football before the start of the new season, the opponents of the Community Shield Cup are Manchester City and last season's league champion Arsenal.

Since moving to the new stadium, Professor Wenger finally doesn’t need to tighten his belt to live. The Emirates Stadium, which has a much larger capacity than Highbury Stadium, has brought Arsenal a lot of money. The style of play is gorgeous and beautiful. In London, an international metropolis, Arsenal’s every home court is almost full, which has also brought a lot of income to Arsenal. Now Wenger does not need to look for high-quality and cheap players everywhere.

The group of young players from a few seasons ago has gradually grown up, and last season's league championship is the best reward for Wenger.

In this game, Arsenal still used their gorgeous offense to make Manchester City, whose main lineup has changed a lot, surrender. Manchester City spends a lot of money every year, but the frequent entry and exit of players also affects their results. This is one of the reasons why Manchester City can only occasionally enter the Champions League in the past few years. They have no patience and no long-term planning. The coach will be fired when something goes wrong. The Arabs are also watching the money being spent like water when they are playing the live-action FM...

Of course, Pei Wei is very happy to see this. No matter how prosperous the Premier League is, no matter how outstanding the results are, only the top four can truly gain profits and honors at the same time. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, these four teams almost monopolize the top four positions, plus Liverpool, who is struggling with hard work, five teams are enough to compete for the top four.

It’s always good to have one less competitor. Buy people, buy as many people as possible, replace half of the main lineup every season, wait until the season is almost over, and then replace half of the main lineup next season.
In fact, after the huge investment in the early stage, whether it is Pei Wei or Abramovich, it is rare to spend hundreds of millions of cash in one summer transfer period. After the drastic transformation, what needs to be slowly digested. Three or four outstanding players are brought in and out every year, which can not only be slowly updated, but also bring competitive vitality to the team.It's a pity that the group of Arabs didn't understand this truth, and they didn't have the patience.

Pei Wei is the chairman who understands football. Although Abramovich does not understand football, he has Kenyon to help him. Only the group of Arabs. His coaches, managers and players basically go for their money. In the past few years, Manchester City has already become a typical example of people who have a lot of money.

In fact, Manchester City's configuration is quite good. After all, so much money has been spent, but no matter how many stars there are, without long-term plans and patient waiting, they will not get good results. Now even Moratti throws money at every turn. Manchester City is the only money-burning machine in Europe.

After watching the Community Shield match, Pei Wei and Mourinho reached a consensus—Arsenal is terrible. Their current state is a bit like that in the 03-04 season. After being trained by Wenger for several years, those talented players are now in the harvest period and are in very good condition. In the new season, they will be an extremely powerful opponent.

What about Manchester City?Mourinho's opinion is clear - until Adesler kneads the team into shape, they will not be too much of a threat.

One week after the end of the Community Shield, the 2013-2014 Premier League season officially kicked off!

On August [-]th, the first round of the Premier League begins. Twenty teams will compete for ten months. The strong teams will compete for the championship, the mid-range teams will strive to enter the European arena, and the underdogs will aim to relegation.
As No.3 last season, Newcastle did not receive much preferential treatment. In the first round of the league, they will go south to London and go to White Hart Lane to challenge No.8 last season, Tottenham Hotspur!
This is not an easy opponent to deal with. Although Tottenham have not had any outstanding results in recent years, they have not even participated in the Europa League a few times, but in the Premier League, they are a team that makes the strong teams a headache. What's more, this is the first league game, and it is still at Tottenham's home court!

Tottenham's home record last season was [-] wins and six draws to remain unbeaten!If they hadn't performed like two teams in the away game, they wouldn't have only ranked eighth!
But for Newcastle, who have not won any championships for two seasons, they will defeat all opponents this season!No matter how strong the opponent is, they only have the idea of ​​winning. Not only Tottenham, but also Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Bayern, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus... and other strong teams, as long as we meet, we will overthrow everything!
This is Newcastle's goal for the new season!
