Chapter 468 Wenger, Don't Call Injustice
Standing in front of the window of the head coach's office at the Longton Training Base in Newcastle, looking at a freight train rumbling slowly past in the east, the front of the train was still puffing white smoke, Alan Pardew's eyes were full of anticipation.

In his eyes, Newcastle is like a train that is slowly moving towards the bright front.

In the past season, he led Newcastle to the fifth place in the league, which shocked the entire English football world, and even many people were full of expectations for his future.

In the past so many years, the head coach positions of the top-ranked teams in the Premier League, except for Ferguson, have almost been monopolized by foreigners.

For example Wenger in France, Benitez in Spain, Mourinho and Villas-Boas in Portugal, or Ancelotti and Mancini in Italy and so on.

Even Ferguson and Moyes are Scottish!

The only one who can be called a local coach and has a relatively outstanding team performance is Tottenham Hotspur coach Redknapp, but he has already dismissed get out of class from Tottenham.

Compared with old coach Redknapp, Alan Pardew is younger and has more advantages!
Newcastle is the most popular team among English local fans. Before relegation, they were a powerful team that kept pace with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams. After encountering the nightmare of relegation and returning to the Premier League, the Magpies are also ambitious to restore their former glory and glory.

Last season, Alan Pardue let all Magpies fans see this ray of hope!

Similarly, Alan Pardew himself is full of confidence and expectation for the future. He even hopes that the Premier League will come sooner!

In the new season, the goal of the Magpies is to stabilize the top five in the league and hit the top four in the league!

As long as they return to the European arena, Newcastle will have a higher stage, and Alan Pardew will also have a better platform!
Thinking of this, the local young coach who has been placed high hopes by countless England fans smiled confidently.

"This time, in order to support the team's competition for the Champions League qualification, even the miser chairman Ashley promised us a transfer budget of 1000 million pounds. We have to think about how to spend this money!"

Alan Padu suddenly turned around and laughed at the assistants behind him.

That aura is indeed very famous and handsome!
Especially that burst of self-confidence, coupled with his already good-looking handsome appearance, really has a somewhat convincing temperament.

"Our most important signing now is the midfielder, we must complete the transfer as soon as possible!"

The head coach's instructions made the assistants all nod and record them carefully.

As for the target of midfield signings, the coaching staff has already held a meeting to discuss it, and everyone knows who is the target.

Today's Newcastle can be said to be strong.

The goalkeeper is Dutch goalkeeper Tim Krul. The defense also has powerful stars such as Coloccini, Davide Thornton, and Stephen Taylor. The midfielder has famous players such as Moussa Sissoko, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, and Gutierrez.

The forward line is also dominated by players including Papis Cisse, Demba Ba, and Obertin.

Even players like former Manchester United player Alan Smith and goalkeeper Foster couldn't gain a foothold in the Magpies and were forced to move.

It can be seen that the strength of Alan Pardue's team is really good.

In terms of fame, Newcastle may not have many big-name players, but in terms of strength, the Magpies definitely have a chance to compete with the Premier League heroes.

Chief assistant coach John Carver nodded and said: "After a while, the Premier League will start, and the second half of August will be the fourth round of Europa League qualifiers. We must adjust the team at that time."

Alan Pardew couldn't help nodding, "That's right, the Premier League schedule is out, and the first game against Tottenham Hotspur is very important. If we play well, we will play Chelsea away in the second round, and our pressure will be relatively small!"

We won the first game, and the second round is an away game, and it’s Chelsea’s again, so it’s okay to lose.

"The schedule is very favorable for us. We played Manchester United in the seventh round, and we played at home. Although Liverpool played away in the tenth round, Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion were not strong before. After that, West Ham United and Swansea are both at home."

On the desk in the coaching staff's office, there is an elaborate schedule.

As long as everyone glanced at the schedule, they could immediately see the matchup situation clearly.

Alan Pardew has been able to play in the Premier League for many years. After all, he is not a vegetarian.

As soon as the schedule came out, he could see immediately that Newcastle's schedule was quite favorable.

Especially in the No.13 round of the league, a crucial decisive battle in his mind, the away game against Southampton!

That was his return to St. Mary's Stadium after a two-year absence!
This time, with Newcastle, who is strong and strong, he must flatten the St. Mary's Stadium and avenge his shame!
"League No. 13 round, away to Southampton, I want to win this game at all costs, and play our momentum, followed by Stoke City, Wigan and Fulham in one breath!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

At that time, Newcastle will be ranked at least in the top five, and even if the performance of the strong team is better, there is hope for the top four!
John Carver is well aware of the grievances between Alan Pardew and Southampton, and he also knows what the head coach thinks.

How could Alan Pardue miss this rare opportunity to face-to-face?

"Show me the Southampton schedule!" said John Carver.

Soon, an assistant called up Southampton's schedule.

As a result, when the schedule came out, everyone was dumbfounded!

"Hey, Southampton doesn't have a grudge against the FA?"

"is not that right?"

"Isn't this too outrageous?"

"From the first round, Manchester City, Wigan Athletic, Manchester United, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Everton, Fulham, West Ham, Tottenham Hotspur, Swansea..."

"This is the schedule of being taught to be a man every minute!"

"Who said it wasn't? Especially in the first four rounds, we met Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal one after another. This schedule is also devilish!"

"But it's also good. They have a Christmas schedule. Apart from Arsenal, there is no strong team."

"That's right, look at the back, starting from the 24th away game against Manchester United, the remaining [-] rounds are quite good. There are only three teams, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, but they are all at home!"

Alan Pardue nodded and said: "That's the reason, but you must know that if you don't play well at the beginning of the league, no matter how good the schedule is, it may not be useful. Losing people's hearts is more terrifying than anything else!"

As a coach with many years of coaching experience in the Premier League, Alan Pardoby knows how important the morale of the team is in the long-term competition system of the league.

"However, that's fine. By the time they meet us, they'll probably be exhausted!" Alan Pardew laughed, as if seeing a team of Southampton that was exhausted.

No wonder, until the No.13 round, before encountering Newcastle, Southampton, except for Aston Villa and Wigan Athletic, were almost all the top ten teams in the Premier League, including giants like Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal, as well as strong teams like Tottenham Hotspur and Everton.

In the past two years, even teams such as West Ham United, Swansea, and Fulham have struggled to play in the Premier League.

Thinking of this, Alan Pardue couldn't help showing a cold smile.

In the smile, there was a chilling, gnashing hatred.

"Yang Huan, Yang Huan, this time I must make you pay the worst price!"

…………

…………

"Hey, I said, David, are you kidding me?"

When Alan Pardew was brewing hatred at the Longton training base and preparing to take revenge, Yang Huan appeared in the royal box at Wembley Stadium in London, staring at the poor English old man in front of him with dissatisfaction.

It was as if he was about to throw David Bernstein, chairman of the FA, directly from the stands.

David Bernstein's face was covered in cold sweat, and his back was soaked.

The whole world knows that anyone who offends this young master Huan will be unlucky.

"Master Huan, how dare I? Isn't it?"

"Don't you dare? Damn Xipi, go and look through the schedule by yourself and look inside. What kind of schedule did you arrange for Southampton? Damn, I met three giants in the first four rounds. Is it possible that I have wronged you?"

Yang Huan was a little annoyed when he heard that the old boy still dared to cry out.

Prince William, who was sitting by the side, was not very happy when he heard this.

"David, if you really do this, you are a bit unkind, no matter what, we are all friends!"

David Bernstein was depressed, and dared to slap his ass on the horse's leg.

"Master Huan, Your Royal Highness, I have some difficulties!"

"Sorry?" Yang Huan was taken aback, "Okay, tell me, what are your reasons?"

As he spoke, he gestured to roll up his cuffs.

From the looks of it, he didn't like what he said, but he was going to do it directly!

Prince William also looked concerned.

In their view, the following Community Shield is insignificant.

Anyway, it is the Premier League skirmish, a warm-up match, not of much importance.

Moreover, no one said that whoever wins the Community Shield will lose the Premier League champion!
"As we all know, the biggest challenge of the Premier League is the schedule from Christmas to January. Many newly promoted players, or newly arrived managers, are folded on the Christmas schedule."

"Yes, so what?" Yang Huan pouted.

This one makes sense.

Don't look at the English League where Southampton has played for two seasons, but the League One and the Championship are completely different from the Premier League, and even the Christmas schedule is different.

"Master Huan, go and see again, are there any other strong teams in Southampton's Christmas schedule besides Arsenal?"

Yang Huan thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and looked, there was really nothing there.

Also, Arsenal is really not a strong team these days!
At least he is the weakest among the Premier League powerhouses.

Let Yang Huan choose his opponent from among the top players, and he will definitely choose Arsenal!
There is no other reason, the persimmon must be soft!
Wenger, don't complain, who made you so unlucky?

"January is very critical for a team that has just passed the Christmas devil's schedule, and throughout January, Southampton did not meet Manchester United until the end of the month. It was the No.

Yang Huan heard what he said, and combined with the schedule, it really made sense.

"My Young Master Huan, think about it. If you don't want to meet a strong team in the Christmas schedule, you must arrange the encounter with a strong team in another game. Also, it is not easy to meet a strong team in the latter part of the season. That period of time is a critical moment for results."

Speaking of this, David Bernstein wants to cry.

"It's moving around, there's really no way to move it, so it can only be moved to the beginning of the season!"

When Prince William heard this, he felt that it made sense. It was not easy for him. The rules of the competition were like this. He could only follow the rules and try his best to help you out.

You can't directly arrange for Southampton not to play a strong team, can you?

Yang Huan was not the kind of person who didn't know what to say, and when he heard what he said, he immediately understood.

It is indeed acceptable to arrange the strong dialogue at the beginning of the season.

Conversely, if they are all arranged in the later stage, they may be scolded.

Besides, the Premier League is not La Liga. There are only two or three teams in La Liga that have the strength to win the championship. They only watch two or three games throughout the year, and there is no difference in the other games.

But the competition in the Premier League is too fierce, there are so many strong teams, and they have to come and go.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan also nodded.

"Okay, okay, David, don't act like a motherfucker, I misunderstood you, I owe you a favor!"

"Really?" David Bernstein was wronged.

"nonsense!"

The old man hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth timidly.

"Then...can you ask Master Huan to do me a favor?"
