Chapter 468 Tottenham's Old Friend

London, White Hart Lane.

This ancient stadium has been with Tottenham Hotspur for 110 years. However, due to inconvenient transportation and insufficient capacity, Tottenham Club plans to build another new stadium in Northumberland in 2009 to replace White Hart Lane. Perhaps in the near future, Tottenham Hotspur will stay away from this stadium.

Tottenham also has a center forward who is over two meters tall. That is the former England international. Peter Crouch, who had a good performance in Liverpool, is 32 years old this year and has a height of two meters and one meter.

Crouch did not start this game. Tottenham's starting striker partners are Russian center Pavlyuchenko and Mexican wonder boy Dos Santos. After coming to the Premier League and not adapting at the beginning, this Mexican striker began to gradually show his talent. He has become the main striker of Tottenham. He can score more than ten stable league goals every season, and his strength is quite impressive.

There are two old friends of Long Bisheng in the Tottenham team - one is his teammate in the national team, Chinese goalkeeper Wu Bufan, and the other is his midfield partner in Leeds, Tottenham's left midfielder Delphi!

It is naturally a pleasant thing to be able to play against old friends on the court, especially since he has not played against the two of them in an official game. To be able to meet them both in the first game for Newcastle, Long Bisheng feels that he is lucky.

Perhaps because of his excellent performance in the pre-season training camp, Mourinho announced two days ago in the starting lineup for the first official game of the new season that Long Bisheng was listed. His partner is Messi, the partner of the national team.
Behind them is a line of defense with the same national name. England central defender Dawson and Taylor partner in the middle, Brazilian national team member Maicon on the right, Welsh national team player Bell on the left, and Czech national team captain Petr Cech as the goalkeeper!

This is a lineup worth more than [-] million!It's just that even if there is a little difference in value, Tottenham's main lineup is not inferior!

Pavlyuchenko, Santos, Delphi, Croatian core Modric, French defender DeWitt, former England international, Tottenham captain Ledley King, England's new main midfielder Huddlestone, Lennon who transferred from Newcastle a few seasons ago...

These people are also famous figures in world football! DeWitt, who was born in 88, has become the core of the French national team's defense!It is said that Wenger had long wanted to recruit this French fellow, but Tottenham's head coach Redknapp categorically rejected his request!

It is this defender who is now very popular in the European continent who is facing Long Bisheng on the court today.

The stands were full of red-faced, dancing and singing fans. When Long Bisheng and his teammates walked into the stadium, they could see the choppy crowd in the stands as soon as they looked up.

The madness of English fans is world-renowned, and even their fans are often wronged as football hooligans when they go abroad to watch football. However, in the Premier League, these crazy fans have brought incomparable confidence and wealth to the Premier League team. Football has become a part of the life of English fans and has penetrated into every corner.

After seeing Newcastle's players playing, there was a huge booing at White Hart Lane. In fact, this is only a child's play. There is no hatred between Newcastle and Tottenham. If Arsenal came to this stadium, then the boos that greeted them would probably be doubled!
Long Bisheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, and shook hands with the opposing players one by one under the leadership of captain Taylor.

"Long time no see, Fabian!" Long Bisheng shook Delphi's hand heavily, with a smile on his face.

Delphi also laughed, he hadn't met Long Bisheng for three years, and when he met, he was an opponent. The world is really unpredictable.

Wu Bufan was not so polite. He had met Long Bisheng a few months ago. When shaking hands with Long Bisheng, he patted Long Bisheng's shoulder vigorously and said with a big smile, "Aaron, you don't want to score goals in this game! I won't let you become the main force of the team so quickly!"

"Is it just not letting me score? Is it okay for me to assist my teammates to score?" Long Bisheng asked deliberately.

Wu Bufan was stunned for a moment, and before he could think of an answer, Long Bisheng let go of his hand and went to shake hands with his next opponent.

**************************************************
DeWitt looked at Long Bisheng who had just finished shaking hands with him - he was not rude to do so, because Long Bisheng was the last Newcastle player to shake hands.

Is this big man last season's European Golden Boot and Newcastle's biggest acquisition this year?It looks a little harmless, although it is indeed very big, a full ten centimeters taller than itself.

However, the Premier League is different from the Bundesliga. Scoring a goal in the Bundesliga is like nothing, but it may be difficult in the Premier League!Wasn't that Zeko stared at by him last season?This game also needs to let this big man know the difference between the Premier League and the Bundesliga!

Taylor lost to captain King in the toss and Newcastle took the kick-off.

Standing at the kick-off point in the middle circle, Long Bisheng took two deep breaths to calm down his emotions.

"Perform well, Dragon!" Messi smiled at him: "Today's game, we must win!"

"That's right, we must win!" Long Bisheng nodded. He still didn't say a word. Although he was facing two old friends, on the court, even his own relatives, he had to defeat the opponent!

The referee blew the whistle, Messi gave the ball to Long Bisheng, Long Bisheng turned around and passed the ball back, and then accelerated to run forward.

**************************************************
Franck Ribery takes the ball on the left. This star who was brought to China by Pei Wei from the French third-tier team Boulogne and then to Newcastle is 30 years old, but he is still the French national team and Newcastle.

Tottenham's right-back and Ribery's compatriot, the 34-year-old veteran Chimbonda greeted him. At the same time, Lennon also quickly returned to the defense, intending to flank Ribery back and forth with Chimbonda.

Facing the attack from two people, Ribery still forcibly broke through with the ball. After completely attracting Lennon's attention, he suddenly passed the ball back skillfully to Gareth Bale who was behind him!

Newcastle's wing attack is the most powerful in the Premier League. With the support of Essien, Carrick and even Gerrard, whether it is Maicon or Bell, their assists are very bold and effective!
Bell didn't stop the ball, but sent the ball directly to the front of the penalty area!
Long Bisheng and Messi crossed positions. Although Long Bisheng only joined Newcastle, he and Messi have partnered a lot in the Chinese national team. There is no problem with this cooperation.

Messi attracted the attention of the Tottenham defenders, and DeWitt did not follow. Long Bisheng successfully received the ball at the front of the penalty area, and then immediately passed the ball back.

Newcastle's central organization ability is not strong, but whether it is Gerrard, Carrick or even Essien, they all have excellent long-range shooting ability!

In the tactical drills before the season, attacking from the wing, the center forward pulls out of the penalty area to make the ball, and the midfielder's long-range shooting ability is used, which is a part of regular drills!
Plugged in from the back is Gerrard, captain of the England national team!Because he couldn’t bear to play in the UEFA Cup for a long time, the former Liverpool captain transferred to Newcastle at a sky-high price of 4000 million euros two seasons ago. Unfortunately, Newcastle got nothing in the next two seasons. Gerrard, who was chasing the championship himself, couldn’t bear this.
Although Gerrard's position is the right midfielder, but in the actual game, his running range covered the entire midfield!

Long shot from 30 meters away!The ball quickly flew into the penalty area and flew straight to the upper right corner!

Wu Bufan made a wonderful save. He flew up and blocked the ball out of the baseline with a single punch!

Nice shot, great throw!Shocking cheers immediately sounded in the stands. After transferring to Tottenham three seasons ago, the Chinese goalkeeper quickly became the new darling of Tottenham. He used his outstanding performance to firmly suppress the Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez on the bench. This save just showed his characteristics-height and long arms, quick response, and stretched saving moves!
When Chu Ran was 30 years old, his reaction was not as quick as when he was young, and his height also restricted his ability to play, Wu Bufan's performance gave the coaching staff of the Chinese national team a reassurance.
Seeing that his shot was thrown by the opponent, Gerrard couldn't help but shook his head. It felt good when he hit the goal just now, but the goalkeeper's reaction was really excellent.However, he still gave Long Bisheng a thumbs up, indicating that the pass was beautiful.

Long Bisheng smiled, turned around and ran towards the penalty area, Newcastle was about to take a corner kick.

"This guy is good at playing the ball. It seems that he can't relax his marking outside the penalty area." DeWitt thought in his heart.
