Chapter 511 Shocking the World [First Update]

The world-famous historic city of Istanbul has witnessed the glory of Newcastle's "Quadruple Champions". When Michael Owen took over the championship trophy from Platini, amidst the sky full of confetti, the Magpies came to the world, overlooking the whole life!

In every corner of the world, as long as there is football, fans will look up to the Chinese man with his hands on his hips, who is as imposing as a god under the spotlight of Atatuko, La Liga, Champions League, Premier League, UEFA Cup...

The footsteps of God's conquest have already run over too many fields!

Countless reporters, like the most loyal servants, surrounded him humbly, and the flashing lights of the camera lenses were like thunderbolts and lightning, which was offering the most gorgeous hymn...

Istanbul, night, conquest...

……

……

The magnificent and exotic style of Turkey could not stop the return of the Newcastle Hammers. On the second day after winning the championship, the heroes of St. James boarded the return plane and brought the Bertoni trophy back to England...

At London International Airport, tens of thousands of Newcastle fans poured into the airport.

This was a rare scene of jubilation. Fans in black and white jerseys poured in like a tide. They waited at the airport like a pilgrimage. When Owen and Taylor walked out of the cabin holding the championship trophy high, the crowd was like a dynamite bag that had burned its fuse, and finally exploded impatiently...

Afterwards, the police cars cleared the way, and countless private cars surrounded the Newcastle bus and drove all the way to the city of Newcastle in a high-profile way. More fans gathered here, and the crazy scene was even worse than the previous Magpies winning the Premier League championship...

Newcastle, the fourth time this season has become a sea of ​​joy!
And the biggest hero, Crazy Li, received the most voices. There were portraits of Crazy Li flying everywhere in the crowd, some with their middle fingers up, some with their hands on their hips, some scolding reporters and referees, some wearing sunglasses and pretending to be cool...

When Li Tongfan appeared in the central square surrounded by players, there was a wave of waves in the crowd, and Newcastle, which was called "one of the eight major entertainment cities in the world", fell into a carnival...

"Long live!! Long live!!! Long live madman Li!!"

"Long live the champion!!"

……

Before the end of the 08-09 season, the final of the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Cup, one of the last two heavyweight events, has finally come to a magnificent curtain amidst the hustle and bustle and attention!

Although the weight of the UEFA Cup itself is difficult to match with the Champions League final that has not yet started, the legend of Madman Lee and the huge appeal of the Rossoneri have drawn the most important rest for the last UEFA Cup final!

Newcastle's quadruple crown has become the glory that the entire Europa continent is competing to spread.

England's "The Times" believed that when reporting this heavyweight final, it used the word "destroy" to describe everything that happened in the Atatürk Stadium within 10 minutes: "Madman Lee's team destroyed AC Milan. There is no doubt that the huge score of 5:2 also made Istanbul Night the most exciting final in the history of the UEFA Cup in recent years..."

The pro-magpie "Observer", adhering to the tradition of cheering for Madman Li, set the tone for the game with "Newcastle created all 7 goals": the article even made fun of Ancelotti——

"...The tactician Ancelotti put all Milan's attackers on the cold bench. He chose Newcastle player Nicolas Gigi. I can't help asking: I wonder who the Milan coach will rely on to score goals for San Siro when Gigi returns to St. James next season?"

The rest of England was naturally unwilling to lag behind. For a while, in Great Britain, the big and tabloid newspapers were all full of reports that Newcastle had won the quadruple crown——

"Lightning + nuclear bomb + aliens, the luxury striker is invincible"

"Quadruple Crowns, Rise of a Dynasty!" "

"Thomas Müller, A Rising Star"

"3-4-3!Craziest final lineup ever

"Crazy Magpies attack wildly, England-style attack overturns Serie A defense"

"Madman Lee made another classic, the UEFA Cup final became a swan song in history"

"Newcastle's offensive power is frightening, overwhelming Barcelona's No. [-] in Europe"

"Absolute superstar-Juan Mata, kicking away Milan's championship dream"

"08-09, the black and white perfect season exclusively for magpies"

……

Unlike the English who are immersed in joy, the media in other top leagues are much more rational. Their eyes are more focused on the performance of the players in the game, the tactical arrangements of the two head coaches and even the performance of the referee...

Although 【Lightning Killer】Michael Owen became the official best player in the final due to two assists and one goal, but on the night of Istanbul, the most eye-catching player was not on the side of the victor Newcastle, but Nicholas Gigi, who once used a goal to push Madman Lee into a desperate situation!

This 18-year-old handsome boy, who is affectionately called the "San Siro Angel" by Milan fans, is famous for his arc long shot and a 30-meter authentic falling leaf ball. Ancelotti's insistence on using Gigi's tactical arrangement also escaped media accusations.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" even exaggerated: "At that moment, I seemed to see Inzaghi and Del Piero playing together..."

Although Milan eventually lost to Istanbul again, Gigi raised his reputation to another level with two goals. For the English teenager, this is a personal victory!

Germany's "All Market" estimates the England teenager's brand-new market value at 3000 million pounds. This figure, throughout the history of European football, is the peak of all 18-year-old players. Even Messi, Ronaldo and Mata, who are in full swing. Superstars did not fail to reach this value when they were 18 years old...

The German "Bild" focused its attention on the meritorious coach. It praised the courage of Madman Li unabashedly. It believed that under the general trend of global emphasis on defense, it was Madman Li who used the 3-4-3 crazy formation that had been thrown into the dustbin of history.

The French "L'Equipe" used a worried tone to congratulate Newcastle for winning the championship, but they used more words to worry about the next season——

"...The fighting power of the new Premier League champions in Istanbul is shocking. Crazy Lee released a terrifying devil himself. After conquering the domestic league, Newcastle has finally qualified for the Champions League. Starting today, when talking about the favorites to win the Big Ears Cup, I think we should not only mention Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona... Newcastle will also become a force that cannot be ignored. The rise of the Magpies, England's oldest aristocrat, is already unstoppable!"

……

A UEFA Cup final can cause such a tsunami-like noise in the European media circles, which has never happened in the past 20 years.

However, when the hustle and bustle was still raging, another thing slowly attracted the attention of the whole of Europe-the 08-09 UEFA Champions League final was held at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy!
The two teams that will face off at the top of Europe are the Red Devils Manchester United and La Liga giants Barcelona.

This game is seen as a direct confrontation between two superstars born in the 80s, C-Ronaldo and Leo Messi.
Hundreds of thousands of fans gathered at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, looking forward to a fierce battle. However, the process of the game surprised everyone. The Red Devils were like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out during the game. They were firmly suppressed by Barcelona and had no power to fight back...

In a normal game, Manchester United did not show any two points, a crushing defeat!

Barcelona beat the Premier League giants 2:0.

The result of the game caused the English media, who were clamoring to win the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League before the game, to collapse. No one thought that Manchester United would be so vulnerable in front of Barcelona...

The superstar C-Ronaldo, who was highly expected by the people, fell into a vicious circle of fighting alone after a flash in the first 15 minutes, but his competitor Leo Messi scored a wonderful header. In this battle for the leadership of the new generation of stars, C-Ronaldo completely lost...

After the game, the scene of the Portuguese superstar throwing his jersey angrily was captured by the media. In connection with the rumors that Real Madrid acquired Ronaldo that had been circulating before the game, the astute media has captured what...

……

……

The European League in the 08-09 season only belonged to two teams—Barcelona and Newcastle. Under the leadership of young coach Pep Guardiola, the former embarked on the road of fantasy and firmly suppressed the century-old rival Real Madrid in the domestic league. The latter, under the transformation of Madman Lee, embarked on an unstoppable rise!
These two teams will face off in the UEFA Super Cup before the start of next season. Impatient fans can't wait for the duel between the two. Guardiola's emergence in the coaching industry is quite like that of Madman Lee. People hope that this classic No. 4 of Catalonia can bring surprises...

However, before that, European football became unstoppably chaotic!
Because, the summer transfer market is about to start.

This summer in European football is destined to be a year that will be recorded in history. There are three teams that are predicted by the media to become the protagonists of the transfer market——

royal house Madrid.

Manchester City.

Newcastle.

Both the first two teams had a lot of money but performed poorly in the season that just ended. Both the fans and the club management fell into anger, and vowed to spend money all over the place to buy and list superstars to compete for the upcoming 09-10 season.

The reason why Newcastle was listed in the top three by the media was completely opposite to the first two teams. The reason given by the media for the Magpies being able to become the protagonists of the transfer market was-"There are players in the Rigburton training base that any giant in Europe would like to have!"

In other words, Newcastle is a player supermarket in the eyes of the media.

This season, the Magpies became a blockbuster. Many players in the team have grown from obscurity to the hottest superstars in Europe. They are young, powerful, and eager for honor... More importantly, they are so lucky. They met a head coach like [God on the sidelines] at the beginning of their careers, so they have not tasted the cruelty of professional football...

And such players are more likely to be tempted.

Many people recognize Madman Li's personal charm and tough tactics, but it must also be noted that in the context of commercialized football, Newcastle's inherent financial inadequacy compared to other giants puts them in a passive situation in the transfer market. If sky-high prices are thrown at the Newcastle club and players, there is no guarantee that there will be no shocking events...

What's more, some people speculate: maybe, Madman Li will accumulate wealth by selling key players aggressively. After all, from the perspective of the club's long-term development, this is indeed a wise move, because this guy's ability to dig rough jade out of thin air is much better than Wenger. "God" will not be afraid that there will be no stars.

……

Within a period of time, there were more and more rumors about player transfers, like willow catkins in the spring of March, so many that you can't count them——

"Manchester United bid £2500m for Ligue [-] oiran Benzema"

"Kaka is definitely leaving San Siro and has initialed a transfer contract with Real Madrid"

"C-Ronaldo: The Premier League has no momentum, I want to change the environment"

"King Ibrahimovic of San Siro bids farewell to the Apennines"

"Real Madrid want to buy Newcastle [Angel Wings] Juan Mata"

"From the main force to the edge, Crespo has been separated"

"Real Madrid and Barcelona compete for the Peerless Sword of the Bat Army"

"Liverpool intends to introduce the former golden boy Michael Owen"

"..."

All kinds of transfer rumors have dazzled the eyes of the fans. When the stars are on vacation at the beach with beauties in swimsuits and bikinis, the fans are living a "painful and happy" life——

On the one hand, I was frightened and afraid that my favorite star would be sold by the club overnight, and on the other hand, I was eagerly waiting for the big-name star promised by the club to join!
In order to find out the latest transfer news, the major media have resorted to all kinds of tricks, tricks, stealing, buying and so on. Even if it is fabricated, the latest superstar news is published in newspapers, magazines and websites every hour, every minute, every second every day...

At this chaotic moment when the fireworks were becoming more and more fascinating, an announcement published on the official website of the Newcastle Club, like the "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" that the United States threw at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, instantly stunned the whole world——

"...We regret to announce that the great head coach Mr. Li Tongfan, who has made an indelible contribution to the revival of the club and brought five championships to the fans in one and a half seasons, will no longer be the head coach of the team due to personal reasons! We assure all you Newcastle fans that we will find a suitable head coach as soon as possible!"

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked!

This is definitely the most incredible announcement in world football since the end of the 08-09 season. Crazy Li, who owns more than half of the shares in the thriving Newcastle United and coached the team invincibly without a single defeat, actually resigned as the head coach of the Magpies?

How can this be?

This is absolutely impossible!

It was like hearing someone say that the fat woman next door was actually the Virgin Mary. When many people heard this absurd news, they immediately expressed doubts. However, when they rushed to the Internet and saw the black and white announcement on the Newcastle Club official website, and confirmed from their mobile phones, computers and even calendars that today is really not April Fool's Day, all doubters grew their mouths!

Some people hope that the fact is that Newcastle's official website was actually hacked by hackers who were jealous of the magpies. The club's hotline has been in a state of rage since the announcement was made more than ten seconds ago, completely blown away...

The Newcastle fans reacted most violently. If there is anyone who is indispensable to the current Magpies, there is no doubt that all Magpies fans will point to Crazy Li. Only this man who came to the harbor city with a mythical color can turn a team in the relegation circle of the Premier League into a super powerful team that everyone fears in Europa in just one and a half years...

The first thing countless Newcastle fans did after confirming the authenticity of the news was to put down everything at hand and gather from home, office, bus, train station or airport towards St. James' Park...

The traffic is crowded and the vehicles roar, like a strike parade that has never happened in a century!
After confirming the authenticity of the news, everyone's first reaction was——

why?
Why did Madman Lee resign as Newcastle manager?

What could be more attractive than being a boss and a coach at the same time, and getting rich?

Facts have proved how wise his move to acquire Newcastle was one and a half years ago. At least now he is a super rich man worth over [-] million yuan. Moreover, as long as he continues to work, he will definitely be able to accumulate more and more incredible wealth and fame in a short period of time...

Had his head been hit by a brick falling from the sky?Caught by your own door panel?Kicked by a Sichuan donkey?

Obviously, the Newcastle club had expected the shocking power of this news long ago, so shortly after the announcement was made on the official website, they issued another announcement, saying that they would hold a press conference on the second day to explain all doubts to all fans...
