Chapter 502 We Can Do It

"Newcastle defeated Sevilla 701-[-] at home and entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a total score of [-]-[-]. However, the actual process of the game was not as easy as the score indicated. Although Newcastle had the advantage for most of the game and once took a two-goal lead, Capel's No. [-] minute goal almost drove Newcastle to a dead end. If it hadn't been for Long Bisheng's key goal twelve minutes later, Newcastle would have stopped in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in ten years! With Newcastle The state shown in these two Champions League knockout games, and then they are dangerous!"

The "Sun" report is not alarmist. According to UEFA's habit, with Newcastle's fierce state in the league this season, they will definitely stumbling Newcastle in the Champions League-Newcastle's opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League is Real Madrid, the best club in Europe in a century!
Although due to various reasons, Real Madrid has never won the Champions League after winning their ninth Champions League trophy, but no one dares to ignore this luxurious division-who can ignore the team with Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema and other superstars!

To encounter such a team in the quarter-finals, Newcastle's luck is really not good, but for Real Madrid, why are they willing to face Newcastle so early!
Both Hiddink and Mourinho, the head coaches of Real Madrid, have been mentally prepared for this. Anyway, those who enter the quarter-finals will not be underdogs. Even if they meet opponents who are unwilling to meet earlier, what can they do?UEFA's method of allowing such strong teams to collide in advance is indeed enough to attract more fans to pay attention to the Champions League. If this is not the case, how can these giants get huge benefits from the Champions League?This in itself is a complementary thing.

In the league, Newcastle still has [-] rounds left to play in the league. Due to their continuous participation in the League Cup final and the FA Cup, they played two less league rounds than other opponents. In less than three months, if Newcastle advances on all fronts, they will face a week of double matches every week!

This is a big test for the physical fitness and state of the players, but since we have reached this point, why not fight hard?Why not grit your teeth and persist for three months?You know, this season they may win four championships unprecedentedly!If they can do this, they have a chance to surpass the brilliant record of six championships in one year created by Barcelona in 2009!
Barcelona's head coach Pep Guardiola once said after winning the World Club Cup at the end of 2009 that Barcelona's glory this year can only be replicated and cannot be surpassed!But English clubs have a unique advantage, that is, they have one more League Cup championship to win!As Mourinho, who had been an assistant coach in Barcelona for three years, he very much hopes to break this record created by Barcelona with his own hands!

But there is a good saying, between thinking and getting it, you have to do it-everyone can think about it, but not everyone can do it!
************************************************
"I think the goal of this season is no secret to you." After a training session, Mourinho said to all the players in the locker room. He chose to say it in the locker room because the tradition of English football is that everything in the locker room is a secret: "We have come this far this season. If we go forward, we will create brilliant honors. If we step back, we will become the laughing stock of everyone. If we win all the remaining championships in one go, all the praise will fall on our heads. All the hard work we put in will be worthwhile. If we make mistakes in the following games, then others will laugh at us for overreaching, trying to get all the honors but losing the honors that can be won... Are you willing to bear the consequences?"

"No! Of course I don't want to!" The players waved their fists and shouted, jokes, between honor and loss of honor, who would choose what kind of fool, let alone these stars who have longed for honor for a long time!

Due to various reasons in the first two seasons, Newcastle failed to win any championships. Newcastle has long been eager for victory and honor. Although many old Newcastle players have become Grand Slam players at the club level in the previous games (referring to players who have won league championships, Champions League championships, and domestic cup championships), the young players and stars like Gerrard who joined later have not yet won these honors!

It only takes three months to work hard. If you can take these honors to participate in the World Cup, it will be called the icing on the cake!
Although Newcastle has won many championships in the past ten years, Newcastle's players have not yet reached the point where they are tired of winning championships and getting soft hands. What's more, what they are facing this season may be the chance to win the Triple Crown or even the Quadruple Crown!If they can still win the league championship, Champions League championship and FA Cup championship this season, then they will be able to surpass Manchester United in 99 and become the English club with the greatest achievements in a season, and there is only one step away from Barcelona's great record!
After the players finished shouting, Mourinho nodded: "I'm very happy to see that you have this desire to win all the championships... But our chairman once said to me: 'Between thinking and getting it, you need to do it.' Anyone can do it with rhetoric, but it takes a lot of hard work and sweat to turn the goal into something that we really have. Now the entire season has come to the end. The results we can achieve this season will be announced in three months. We will face it next Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid and possibly others, to get the honor we want we have to beat them!"

"No matter who it is, don't try to stop our progress!" Captain Taylor took the lead and shouted, and Long Bisheng was the first to respond. Now his desire for honor may not be inferior to that of the team's most honor-hungry Gerrard!

Gerrard is because he knows that he is not young, and this season may be his last chance. Long Bisheng is because of a promise, which is related to his future happiness in life!
"Okay, then let us let everyone know in the next game that we not only want to get these honors, but also show the ability and strength to get these honors!"

**************************************************
Just played a fierce battle with Sevilla, and Newcastle will challenge Hull City in an away game three days later. Although the ranking difference between the two teams is relatively large, the public opinion is not too optimistic about Newcastle. At the same time, although Hull City's ranking has been hovering outside the top ten this season, their home results are surprisingly good. Even Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United have suffered like this. Chelsea was tied, and Manchester United and Liverpool simply lost.

It is precisely because of various reasons that the outside world is not optimistic about Newcastle’s results in this game, especially when Mourinho’s main lineup has six substitutes.
Because now Newcastle and Arsenal have the same points, but two games less, as long as they don't lose, then Newcastle's advantage in the standings is still unshakable.

But the process of the game surprised those who predicted that Newcastle would encounter Waterloo-Hull City suffered the biggest defeat of the season at home.
Mattok, who came on as a substitute for Bale in this game, became the biggest contributor to the victory. He first assisted Long Bisheng to equalize the score through a beautiful cross, and then shot a wonderful world wave from 30 meters away from the goal. Hull City was heavily pressed, and he passed a precise 50-meter long pass after stealing from the backcourt to help Walcott go straight to seal the victory!

"Newcastle's luck is too good. In the case of poor overall performance, Martok, who has not played many games this season, has become the most powerful person to decide the outcome of the game. But if Newcastle counts on someone to stand up to save the team every time, they will find that they can no longer be saved."

But three days later, Newcastle shattered these people's doubts with their performance. They defeated West Bromwich Albion at home in a make-up match, and once again extended their lead to three points.
The Newcastle players proved with their performance that they not only want to get honors, but can do it!All who doubted them have been taught a lesson!
