Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 753 Impact of Records

Since the beginning of this season, the competition between Newcastle and Chelsea has gone from domestic to foreign. It is still unclear who has a greater advantage, which is enough to show how strong these two teams are.

From this point of view, the excitement of the English media is not unreasonable. The dominance of the Premier League teams in the Champions League has not been enough for a long time. Manchester United is the only family that has established itself from the Premier League and has been able to perform stably in the Champions League for a long time. That's all, now that there are two more in one breath, how can we not make the Premier League media excited?
However, they were excited, both Mourinho and Benitez had big heads.

The first game of the semi-finals was on April 26. During this half month, Newcastle and Chelsea would have to play three league games. Not to mention one game every three or four days, these three league games belonged to the league. No.30 three, 34, 35 three rounds, it is bound to not be a game that Newcastle and Chelsea can easily give up.

If Mourinho and Benitez were not greedy enough, as long as any one of them gave up the Champions League and tried their best to grab points in the league, then this situation might be alleviated, but for Benitez For the two arrogant coaches, Si and Mourinho, it is impossible for them to give up any game.

And the two bosses behind them, A Bu and Pei Wei, will not give up either.

Maybe the English media should feel sad that the two clubs they think are getting dignity for the Premier League, the most important people are not British-two owners, one Russian, one Chinese, two coaches, one is Spaniards, one is Portuguese, and these two clubs are also standard multinational teams.

But no one can deny that the current prosperity of the Premier League is inseparable from the injection of foreign capital, the entry of high-level foreign coaches, and the influx of high-level foreign players. If it were not for these multinational teams, then the Premier League would not be possible. There is prosperity now.

There are very few local consortiums in the UK that will invest heavily in clubs. In recent years, there have been almost no high-level local coaches in England. Although many excellent players have appeared in the Premier League recently, these players are obviously at a disadvantage in the competition with foreign players.

Newcastle's next three opponents are Middlesbrough, Norwich and Manchester United, while Chelsea's three opponents are Manchester United, Arsenal and Fulham. From the perspective of opponents, Newcastle is easier, but with Manchester United The current match was in the No.30 fifth round, and Chelsea’s opponent in this round was the relatively weak Fulham. Chelsea can take it easy.

Chelsea started with a heavier task, and then it became lighter. Newcastle started with a lighter task, and later had a heavier task. It is hard to say who is more beneficial. At this point in the league, Newcastle and Chelsea have only one way to go, and that is Fight.

If you don't fight, you can't, you will win if you love to fight.

********************************************
April [-], St James' Park.

St. James' Park is always full. Premier League teams seldom have a low home attendance rate. This is especially true for Newcastle, which is the most popular among domestic fans in the Premier League. Especially in the past two years, their outstanding results are even more It has stimulated the desire of Newcastle fans to watch the game live, and the home operating income has always been the largest source of income for the Newcastle club.

This is why Newcastle has never been supported by a strong consortium, but has never been short of money-those stupid miners who work hard with minimum wages support their football with their frugal money. The team did not seek to reciprocate, so Pei Wei did not increase the price of tickets after taking over Newcastle. Except for the increase in the price of VIP seats, the price of ordinary seats has decreased instead.

Today, St. James' Park is a bit more lively than usual. There is only one reason. The eternal captain in the hearts of Newcastle fans and the greatest striker Alan Shearer has scored 190 goals for Newcastle in previous games. , only one goal away from Milburn, the best scorer in history, with a record of [-] goals!
Everyone hopes that they can see this great moment with their own eyes. Although Shearer has not played many games this season, the starting position was taken away by the Ivorian Drogba. Although Shearer may not be able to play in this game, the whole team of Newcastle The fans still have the greatest enthusiasm for this game!

Since scoring 199 goals for Newcastle in all competitions in the game against Aston Villa, Newcastle's local TV broadcasts the most is to review Shearer's goals in the past nine seasons, But it is a pity that Shearer did not play in the two Champions League games. In the Champions League match against Tottenham in the league, Shearer still failed to score despite a beautiful assist. With an appetite of half a month, Newcastle fans are no longer willing to wait any longer.

No Champions Cup?It doesn't matter, our "Northern Angel" is old after all, it doesn't matter if he doesn't play in such a fierce game, didn't score in the away game against Tottenham?It doesn't matter!It was an away game. Such a historic goal should be kept at home. This match against Middlesbrough is both at home and in the league. If you, Mourinho, do not conform to the popular will, send our captain If you go out and try to create chances for him, what kind of coach are you?

The logic of fans is sometimes very simple and unreasonable. During this period of time, the message boards on the homepage of the Newcastle club are full of such requests from crazy Newcastle fans. Rinho must send Shearer as the main force in this game until he scores a goal—according to Mourinho's temperament, he wouldn't care what your fans think—my lineup Even the chairman can't ask, let alone other people!But in this game, Mourinho intends to conform to the hearts of the people.

****************************************
In these few days of training, Shearer has been working very hard. Although he usually works equally hard, this is why he can maintain his state. However, in these few days, even the most honest Drogba I also found that Shearer was different from usual.

All the players understand why Shearer is so excited in training these days - about to score [-] goals for a club - what a great number!Today, with the increasing turnover of players, this has almost become an impossible task.

Now, however, Shearer is on the verge of reaching that goal - scoring one more goal to equal Milburn's record, and two more goals to break Milburn's record, even though Shearer, who has now scored 140 and seven goals for Newcastle in the league It is difficult for Shearer to catch up with Milburn's 170 seven-goal record, but being able to break the total goal record is also enough for Shearer to mark an indelible history in Newcastle's history.

There are still people who sigh, if Shearer passed the Newcastle young player entrance test at that time, and spent all nine seasons in Southampton and Blackburn in Newcastle, then he would put himself in Newcastle. What a terrifying increase in the number of goals scored!Among other things, in the three seasons of 93-94, 94-05 and 95-96 alone, Shearer scored more than [-] goals in various competitions for Blackburn. If these goals were scored for Newcastle If so, then it is definitely more than enough to break Milburn's various records, and even create a record that has never been seen before or since.

However, if it can only be if forever, there are always shortcomings in history. At least, Shearer can get the first chance in Newcastle's history in terms of total goals, which in itself has proved how hard Shearer is in Newcastle .

For Shearer, he helped the team win the League Cup and Champions Cup last season, and he is also very hopeful to win the league title this season. He has no regrets. Breaking Milburn's record will become a success. fulfilled his last wish.

"Alan has been training very seriously these days." Pei Wei, who was on the sidelines of the training ground, seemed to be talking to himself, and then turned to ask Mourinho: "What do you think about this?"

"Why do you want to ask me this question too?" Mourinho put on a wry smile: "During this time, the media have been asking me, the fans are asking me, and sometimes even assistant coaches and players will ask me. Ask me that question, and now you're asking me again..."

Pei Wei smiled embarrassedly: "This is also human nature. No matter who it is, it will always be proud to break a record. Even if you can't break it yourself, it is good to see others break it with your own eyes... We all laity."

"Yes, I am also a layman." Mourinho laughed: "So I can reveal to you in advance that Shearer will start in this game... According to the rotation system, he should have played in this game. , and during this period of time he has trained very hard and is in good form, and our main striker also needs to rest... It is for these reasons that I sent him to play, not because of anything else."

"Yes, I know." Pei Wei nodded again and again, but he was laughing in his heart--finding these reasons, if he was not affected by this record at all, it would be called hell.

However, I am also looking forward to the moment when Shearer breaks the record... that historic moment is exciting to think about.

On the training ground, Shearer jumped high in the penalty area and pushed Robert's pass into the gate guarded by Shay.
