Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 764 For...

Being eliminated by Chelsea with a score of [-]-[-] in two legs, many Newcastle people are not convinced. In their opinion, Newcastle has the ability to score one or more goals in two legs, but luck is on the side of Chelsea. that side.

Pei Wei sighed, but he didn't feel too sad about the result, although he also thought that Newcastle was a bit wronged by the loss.

But if you lose, you lose. Pei Wei still has this measure. Not being able to enter the final and win the championship means that he has lost a little profit. In terms of honor, he has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and Winning a championship is already a great thing. After all, no team has been able to defend the Champions Cup since the restructuring of the Champions Cup. If they fail to do this, no one will laugh at them.

It’s just that this time it might make Abramovich happy. Last year, he was ranked behind Newcastle in both the league and the Champions League, which made the Russian rich man very unhappy. When I met Pei Wei in public a few times, I always felt a little bit of a smile. , this time Chelsea finally suppressed Newcastle in the Champions League (completely) and the league (temporarily). Pei Wei seemed to be able to see Abramovich laughing happily in the empty box above the stands as soon as he turned his head.

Let him be proud, anyway, Feng Shui turns around, there will be no complete victory in the professional league, there will only be one season of victory, not to mention, this season is not over yet, lost the Champions League, Newcastle still have league.

Moreover, in Pei Wei's heart, he is vaguely unwilling that Newcastle will go on to win the Champions League in such a smooth season and double crown in a season. If they win too many honors, they will inevitably feel slack from the coach to the players. At that time, the team will have to be replaced, and Pei Wei is not willing to break the overall framework of the team that has been established so early.

Anyway, this team with an average age of only 27 years old still has enough time to fight for their honor.

Pei Wei thinks freely, but other people in Newcastle may not be as free and easy as him.

There were quite a few Newcastle fans who lost their voices in pain in the stands, but few people blamed the players. After all, everyone could see that the Newcastle players had done their best.

And compared with them, Newcastle's players are more painful.

Dawson knelt on the lawn, weeping uncontrollably, Lucio looked up at the sky, and didn't know what to say, Hart buried his head in the lawn, regardless of the mud and water on his face, maybe he Still regretting why he hit the free kick on the goal post, Maicon sat on the lawn, looking helplessly at the cheering Chelsea players...

Nie Fei and Makelele stretched out their hands to pull Essien together. Although Nie Fei was equally sad, he was a relatively indifferent person, while Makelele was older, and he had to wear clothes for everything...

"You are our captain, now, take us to thank the Newcastle fans." Nie Fei walked to Lucio and said softly.

Lucio woke up with a start and nodded.

When the Newcastle players stood in a row and bowed under the stands occupied by Newcastle fans, Benitez had already walked towards Mourinho. Unlike before the game, the two men were holding hands tightly. hold together.

"I'm sorry, Jose, I won this time." Benitez said calmly, without a hint of complacency.

And Mourinho doesn't look upset at all, although he has many reasons to be frustrated by this-he lost a chance to engrave his name in the history of European football, and lost the tenth leader in history. The team's chances of defending the Champions League - and more importantly, he lost, lost the 24-game unbeaten record in the Champions League, the first loss in the Champions League in two seasons, lost chance to reach the final.

Obviously, Mourinho also knows what it means to "look forward": "There is no complete failure in the world of football... My failure today is the happiest kind, because in ten days, I will be able to get A chance to come back."

Benitez understood what Mourinho meant. He meant that in the last round of the league, Newcastle still had a chance to face Chelsea at home.He nodded: "I'm also looking forward to that day, see you in ten days, Jose."

"I'm waiting for you at St. James' Park, Rafael." Mourinho didn't say a word, that is, "Ten days later, I won't be like these two games."

********************************************
Yes, for Newcastle, this season is not over yet. Although they lost the Champions League, they still have a chance in the league to compete for the league championship that they have never won since [-].

For Newcastle fans, they value the league championship more than the Champions League championship. Some fans have already shouted the slogan of "winning the championship with 94 points", but this is not arrogance, but reality-Newcastle can only Only two consecutive victories in the last two rounds can win the championship, and now Newcastle's points are [-] points. After two consecutive victories, it is exactly [-] points.

It takes [-] points to win the league championship-it is probably unprecedented in the history of European football.

There are two rounds left in the league, Newcastle is two points behind Chelsea, the No.30 seventh round Chelsea is at home against Charlton, who has nothing to desire, and the possibility of winning is quite high, while Newcastle is away against this season's score Quite good Everton-the latter is now ranked No.5, three points ahead of sixth-placed Liverpool, and has a good chance to directly enter the UEFA Cup without going to the Toto Cup.

Playing in the Toto Cup means that the team has to concentrate half a month in advance, which is not very beneficial to a team, so Everton will definitely try their best in this round of competition, and for Newcastle , If this game cannot be won, then the last round of the home game against Chelsea may become a meaningless game.

But the difficulty of this game for Newcastle is also obvious.

Franck Ribery was injured, although it was not serious, but he had to rest for a few days. The other main players were also exhausted because of their exhaustion in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Just three days was not enough for them to recover.

So Mourinho can only pin his hopes on the main players and substitutes who can still play the game.

For Newcastle, this game is a last stand. If they lose, they will lose the entire season. If they win, they will retain the hope of winning the league.

****************************************
"I once told everyone that my football philosophy of Jose Mourinho is the philosophy of winning championships. Only when we win the championship can our efforts be successful. I will never There is only one goal worth fighting for, and that is to win the championship."

Before the start of the No.30 seventh round, in the dressing room at Goodison Park Stadium, Mourinho said to his players: "In this season, in order to win the Champions League and the league title, we have successively Give up the League Cup and the FA Cup, but unfortunately, we lost the Champions League game, and for the Champions League, we lost the advantage we had maintained in the league for a long time... It is my fault, sir We, but fortunately, we now have the opportunity to make up for this mistake."

"A league title is nothing. Every season in continental Europe, dozens of league titles will be decided, but only four of them belong to the four major leagues. For us, this will be the first time we have won since 78. The first league title since Newcastle." He stretched out a seven in his left hand and an eight in his right hand: "Do you know what this means? This will be Newcastle's first championship since 78! In [-], everyone here They were not born when Newcastle won the championship last time, and there are probably only a handful of people in Newcastle who have seen the last league championship with their own eyes... It's too long, Newcastle people have been waiting for this league championship for too long, so we Don’t miss this opportunity!”

"What's more, if we can win two consecutive victories and win the league championship, then our points will reach [-] points..." Mourinho smiled slightly: "In the entire history of the European League, there are still No team can win such an honor... I forgot to say that in addition to winning the championship is my goal, my other goal is to break or create records. Since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to successfully defend the title I haven't broken this record, I don't think you will let me lose the chance to break this record again?"

The players laughed and shouted: "Boss, no problem! We also want to break such a record!"

"Okay, now we have the same goal." Mourinho laughed: "To achieve this goal, the first thing to do is to win this game-at Goodison Park, win Everett pause."

"There is another piece of good news." Seeing that Mourinho had finished setting up tactics, Pei Wei stood up from the corner. Mourinho's words just now were very provocative, but he wanted to cheer up the players. Morale depends on other things.

"The club decided that if we can win the league championship, then the club will distribute the bonuses for winning the league and the Champions League double as scheduled before the season... That is to say, as long as we win the league championship, everyone will There will be double bonuses for your record performance."

"Oh!" The players howled like bloodthirsty wolves one by one.

Take Everton!For the championship!For the record!For the...bonus!
Nine ten minutes later.

"Three to one! Newcastle won Everton cleanly! They didn't seem to be affected by the Champions League exit, and kept the suspense until the last round!"
