Football should be played like me

Chapter 424 In my lowest year, I only won one championship trophy

After the game, reporters flocked to the game.

Flick and Lu Yang attended the post-match press conference.

Reporter: "Flick, it is very bold to let a player of Fenho's level be the starting midfielder. Why did you make such a decision?"

Flick spread his hands: "To be honest, Feinho is not up to the standard of starting in Newcastle, and he is very aware of this. But when we lost Sauber, we urgently needed a breakup."

"It was the English media that reminded us that we seemed to have the best tacklers in the world."

The reporters were speechless.

It's up to you to pretend.

Is it because you are dissatisfied with putting pressure on Newcastle to let Sauber undergo surgery?

Reporter: "So you don't think Sauber should have had surgery?"

Lu Yang took the microphone and said: "Of course not. We are very optimistic about Sauber, and we hope to hold him for a long time, because we believe that his contribution to Newcastle is definitely not just the few games in front of us."

"But the vacancy after Sauber's surgery is something we have to face up to."

"It seems that this problem has been solved pretty well."

Reporter: "But Feinio has caused a lot of trouble for Newcastle. He is a time bomb. Will he start the next game?"

Flick: "We never think that any player is a time bomb. I said that Fenho's strength is not up to the standard of starting in Newcastle. It does not mean that he is not strong enough. His performance in No.808 minutes Surprised everyone, didn't it?"

"We will give enough opportunities to young players, as long as we can see their progress! This is what Newcastle brings to English football."

"We won't preach that so-and-so has become a British star again, and then watch him squander 10,000+ in a nightclub. We will only silently cultivate players who can really contribute to the game."

"People will only marvel at how lucky Newcastle is, and have another British emperor star. But they don't see how many opportunities and help we have given them in order to train them."

That said, the reporter felt that if he was a player, he would also want to join Newcastle.

The temptation to young players is too strong.

Reporter: "Then let's talk about Sasso. He sent a penalty kick in this game, and his performance is not good. In fact, Sasso's performance in the second half of the season is inferior to that in the first half of the season. Quite a few."

"Is there something wrong with him?"

The smile on Lu Yang's face froze.

This reporter did a really good job.

Sasso did have a problem.

After Lu Yang played the ball, he received the survey information from Luo La.

Lu Yang smiled: "The status of no player is static, which is very normal. And I don't think there is anything bad about Sasso's performance on the court. He is one of the best central defenders in the Premier League this season. "

This is not wrong.

In a report released by Sky Sports, through various analysis of data, record, court performance, etc., in the comprehensive evaluation, Luximar, Sasso, Kadu Kuba, Petek, Najib, White and other central defenders among the best.

Reporter: "Last question. When you scored the second goal, you said that the miracle of Newcastle United is starting. What do you mean? Can we understand that this is you issuing a championship declaration on behalf of Newcastle?"

Lu Yang nodded.

The reporters at the scene immediately whispered to each other, expressing their shock at this point.

A reporter stood up and said: "Lu, I have an obligation to remind you. Although Newcastle is currently ranked No.2 in the Premier League standings. But in another hour, when the other games are over, your ranking is likely to be among the top four. outside."

"Are you sure you want to announce Newcastle's intention to compete for the title at this time?"

Cough!

Lu Yang coughed twice, looked at the reporters in the audience and said, "There are only three games left in the Premier League. Even if Chelsea wins this round, it will only be 75 points, while we have 72 points."

"Mathematically speaking, we certainly have the chance to win the championship. Not only us, even Tottenham, which we defeated in this game, also has the theoretical possibility of winning the championship."

The reporter retorted: "But your opponents in the next three rounds are Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea! It will not be easy for you to get a point!"

Lu Yang smiled slightly: "That's because you are too pessimistic."

Another reporter asked this question: "Then, if you go all out to prepare for the Premier League in the last three rounds, what about the UEFA Cup and FA Cup? Are you going to give up?"

"Especially the FA Cup, you have reached the FA Cup final!"

Lu Yang pursed his lips: "My lowest year was the year I debuted, fighting for San Remo Carey Ding."

"That year, we won only one championship trophy."

"Since then, I have never won only one trophy."

"I don't think Newcastle this year was more difficult than San Remo that year."

"Whether it's the Premier League, the FA Cup, or the UEFA Cup, we will do our best."

After Lu Yang finished speaking, some reporters applauded involuntarily.

Because this is a very new theory for the Premier League.

There is too much competition within the Premier League.

So that if you want to get something, you have to give up something first.

Most of the Premier League champions are just one champion, and there are very few double crowns, let alone triple crowns.

Want to hit multiple championships, Chelsea's Sanya King the year before last is the best example.

Of course, the Premier League has also had a triple crown dynasty that crushed the heroes.

But that is a very rare accidental event.

And put the triple crown champion Manchester United in the current environment, there is a high probability that they will not win the triple crown.

Because of the Premier League in this era, the competition is more intense.

In the European war, the competition is also fierce.

Of course, some reporters thought that Lu Yang was talking big.

It's drawing those unrealistic illusions for Newcastle fans.

It was Lu Yang who did not succumb to the reality but forcibly said it.

Since Lu Yang's debut, the worst season has had a championship trophy.

But this year, Lu Yang may not even win a championship trophy.

Most likely in the UEFA Cup, Newcastle also shows signs of overturning.

……

"Stage II is ready to take off?"Lu Yang issued a championship declaration! "

"champion?No, many champions!Lu Yang bluntly said that he has never failed to win the championship in any season in his career! "

"Four balls and one assist, one to ten, the land king returns! "

"Trinity, who can compete among the strongest ten, nine, and seven?" "

"The audience is suiiiiiiiii, Newcastle officially hit the Premier League championship! "

"Crash or win the championship, the gap is sometimes so small that people can't tell the difference! "

"Don't be afraid to send some oolong points, just because Lu Yang is in Newcastle!" "

"Half-hour Premier League No. 74!Manchester City scored a lightning goal in the opening game, with [-] points in real time, overtaking Newcastle! "

"35 rounds of key events have ended one after another, Newcastle was squeezed out of the Champions League and ranked fifth! "

"Talista dedicated lore, Chelsea leads the Premier League standings with 75 points! "

"Lima and Moreira scored twice to help Manchester City win a big victory, ranking second with 74 points! "

"Moric made one shot and two passes, Arsenal returned to the winning track, with 73 points, there is still hope of winning the championship! "

"Aveiro scored the only goal of the game, helping Manchester United beat Newcastle with 72 points, ranking fourth in the standings! "

"Newcastle scored more goals and conceded more goals, and the goal difference ranked last among the seven sisters in the Premier League!Ranked with the same score, the disadvantage is obvious! "

"Carlisle and Kerber passed shots to each other, Liverpool won with 71 points and sixth in the Premier League! "

"Tottenham suffered a disastrous home defeat and was kicked to the brink by Newcastle. With 70 points, there is only a theoretical hope of winning the championship! "

"Liverpool's next match against Newcastle, the loser will directly withdraw from the Premier League championship! "

"Great Test!The first battle after Newcastle United set sail is the "Indestructible Red Army" Liverpool, and the Magpies are at stake! "

From this round on, the news media went into a frenzy.

Because there are only three games left before the birth of the Premier League champions.

The hard work of a whole season depends on the results of the last three games.

Outside a high-end apartment in Newcastle.

Sasso currently lives here.

His family hasn't moved in yet.

After he really gained a foothold in Europe, he would buy a villa and bring his family over.

Many Brazilian players do this.

This also has a lot to do with the fact that the salary level in Europe is much higher than that there.

Although Sasso is a top central defender in Brazil, he still needs to consider a lot of things if he wants to buy a villa in Newcastle without blinking his eyes.

What if I don't play it, what if I go to another team next season.

Sasso is not Lu Yang. He has sufficient funds and can buy wherever he can join.

Sanremo, Rome, Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Newcastle, London, BJ, Shanghai, Los Angeles...these places have Lu Yang's large and small properties.

It's not for investment, it's just for a place to stay when you go.

Ding Dong!

Lu Yang rang the doorbell.

After a while, Sasso opened the door.

He smiled and invited Lu Yang into his home, but he was not in a good mood.

Instead, he was a little nervous.

It's like high school graduates waiting for their college entrance examination results.

Before Lu Yang had time to greet Sasuo, Sasuo's cell phone rang.

He connected immediately, it was his wife's video.

"Sasso, Yago is out of danger, the doctor said he is fine!"

In a word, Sasso burst into tears instantly.

"Really? Really?" Sasso said excitedly into the phone, and then screamed.

The sound continued.

He even turned around and hugged Lu Yang, and then kept jumping, more excited than when he won the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores.

"Congratulations Sasso, but you shouldn't hide such a big matter from us." Lu Yang said, "In this way, our Chinese doctor will come over sooner, and Yago will heal faster..."

Sasuo nodded again and again, and then suddenly reacted: "Chinese doctor? Bailey, Yago..."

On the other end of the phone, Sasso's wife also said with red eyes: "Yes, there was a medical team from the East yesterday. Dr. Kerim said that they were really powerful, and they cured Yago's illness..."

The two chatted a lot.

In fact, Sasso's child was diagnosed as a jaundiced newborn after birth, and the situation was more dangerous.

Then it caused a series of baby diseases, which has been in a dangerous state.

This is not Sasso's first child, but even if there may be more or less, the love of parents for every child is the same.

Sasso played football in England for the whole family.

But his heart has always been in Brazil.

After Lu Yang learned about this situation, he immediately invited the domestic team that is best at neonatal diseases and flew to Brazil overnight.

Successfully rescued Yago from a dangerous situation.

"Lu...I..." Sasuo was too excited to speak.

"Newcastle is a big family, you are welcome to join, and I hope you can find a feeling of home here." Lu Yang hugged Sasso and said, "Come on, buddy. Bring your family over as soon as possible. The self-discipline of your South American players is amazing." It's really more scary."

"With a wife in charge of you, you can play for Newcastle for a few more years."

Bailey on the other end of the phone was amused, and said that after the child recovered, he would consider moving.

When Lu Yang left, Sasso sent Lu Yang outside the community.

In fact, situations like Sasso's are not particularly rare in football.

Playing football is just a job for most players.

In one's life, there are many things that are more important than work.

In the year when Lingard's state took a turn for the worse, his family was hit hard.

The blows such as the death of a loved one can indeed change a player drastically.

Adriano is one of the most typical examples.

It can also be seen from this that when Ronaldo's father passed away, Ronaldo's data and status did not fluctuate significantly, and how rare it is to usher in an explosive period a year later, and even directly enter the peak period of the Premier League.

This requires an extremely strong will.

The team has spent tens of millions of euros on a player. Isn't it right to help them pay attention to the difficulties in life and so on?
This kind of behavior will not bring much difficulty to the team.

Just cut a few bloated positions in the coaching staff and management, and the saved wages are enough to get these things done.

The value of these things is not only reflected in helping players maintain a good state and mental outlook during the contract period, but also has unexpected effects when renewing contracts and transferring.

This is indeed an era that was gradually eroded by gold and yuan.

But even so, there is still a moving story of Matic calling thousands of miles for support because of Mourinho.

Even Mbappe, who has been complained by many people, must have dreamed of Real Madrid if it weren't for the pressure of "political governance" and the large orders between countries worth 120 billion euros.

It is unreliable to expect the club's care to retain players, but under the same conditions, such warmth may be the last straw that overwhelms the camel.

May [-], the day before the UEFA Cup semi-final second leg.

Newcastle is conducting a regular training match.

This UEFA Cup is Newcastle's home game, and they don't have to travel.

Marseille players have arrived in Newcastle this morning.

On the training ground, Chiesa dribbled the ball on the wing with great speed.

He shook again and again, trying to challenge Sasso.

But soon, Sasso seized the opportunity and stretched his feet directly to complete the steal.

He even supported Chiesa who was about to fall at the same time.

Newcastle can't afford to hurt now.

"I feel that the Sasso from the first half of the season is back." Flick looked at the data analysis of Sasso in this training match, "If there is no short-term downturn in the second half of the season, we may now... be the top of the Premier League. "

"Not bad." Lu Yang smiled from the side, "At least we still have a chance now."

Speaking of this, Boyle made a beautiful bottom and swept in front of the goal in the middle of the field.

This is the trick most central defenders are most afraid of.

Then there was a bang.

Sasso made a bold move and kicked the football out of the penalty area.

Don't worry about clearing errors leading to own goals and so on.

He has this confidence.

His ability and mental state are back.

He is already good at his feet, and his interception of cross passes is a must.

He is even sharing his unique skills with Deas and Gongbani, trying to teach them.

Dejas learned a little faster, and soon dared to boldly intercept the cross pass in the penalty area, and the effect was good.

Gongbani learned a little slower, mainly because his model is bigger and his sensitivity is lower than that of De Yas and Sasso.

This defensive method of blocking the cross pass with your feet, if it is a little slower, it may be another result.

This is not very suitable for Gombani.

May [-], UEFA Cup semi-final
Newcastle face Ligue [-] rival Marseille.

The two sides drew two to two in the first round.

Sauber was injured in that game.

This time, Newcastle's formation has changed slightly from last time.

Manjujovic

Bridge, Lu Yang, Chiesa
Sasso, Tavares

Boyle, Gombani, Dejas, Reese

Amerucci
The left back has changed.

From Fenio to Sasso.

This is a surprising change.

After all, after the last round of the Premier League, whether it was Flick or Lu Yang, they all praised Finho, saying that this player is good. Although he has shortcomings, his final performance proved himself.

Marseille's coaching staff couldn't be happier.

In just three days, they watched all of Feinio's games since they were recorded, and they stayed up all night to become giant pandas.

In their view, Feinio is simply a player full of flaws all over his body.

He is a hedgehog. Wherever he goes, Newcastle will have a defensive loophole in that place.

Marseille has developed a set of tactics with Fenho as the breakthrough point.

The players also practiced twice.

But now you tell me that Fenho is not playing?
This……

On the Newcastle bench, Flick was communicating with Fenio: "Look at this game carefully, and think more about how to send football forward in this situation if it is yourself."

"What you lack is not the means to send the football up the pitch, but the awareness."

"Your future is not in the defensive midfielder. Your positioning should be an excellent cerebellum player. You are suitable for the midfield sub-core."

Fenio kept nodding, and didn't feel that he was unhappy that he was not the starter in this game.

Although he is not particularly clear about his position on the court, he has a very clear understanding of his identity.

He is already very grateful to Dade for being able to become one of Newcastle's regular rotation players.

His style of play is already from the last era, and his ability is not good enough. He can't stand out in the youth team or the sub-level league, let alone in a Premier League championship team?
On the court, the game has been going on for a while.

Sasso's performance in the midfielder position so far is remarkable.

The proposal was made by Flickr.

He feels that Sasso is quite versatile, and it should not be difficult to play a guest midfielder.

Even if the defensive midfielder and the central defender have different requirements for the sense of position, Sasso will not be more colander than Fenho.

Lu Yang also agreed.

But whether it is Sasso himself, or Flick and Lu Yang, it is clear that Sasso will not stay in this position for a long time.

Because this kind of swing across positions is detrimental to the player's ability.

Trading a world-class central defender for a world-class midfielder is more or less worth the candle.

No.13 minutes, Marseille right back Aspiri Tanco completed a beautiful pass after going down the ground.

Gongbani was shot through, but Dejas behind him made a decisive move and intercepted the football.

Art masters are bold!
Marseille striker Dimit Payet behind him would have been able to score a superb shot, but Van der Yas' interception went awry.

Tanko and Payet are two of Marseille's star players.

The former is expected to enter the Spanish national team and go to the European Cup this summer.

The latter is a marginal international in the French national team, but he has not been called up many times in the past two years.

Because there are too many superstars and monsters in the French team, neither the high level of the superstars nor the brilliance of the monsters are comparable to Payette.

Fortunately, this year's Marseille reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

If Newcastle, the most trafficked team in European football, can be defeated to advance to the final, Payette's probability of being called up will be greatly improved.

No. 306 minutes, Payette made continuous passes on the left.

Reese tried to get to the body, but Payette took Reese's first impact and turned on the circling mode.

The technical and tactical level he showed is the mature state of Bridge in Flick's mind.

But now Bridge can't handle the opponent's defensive player's first impact. This is the biggest problem, and he needs to polish his body carefully.

Tavares was also passed in the circle of Payette.

Payette got a chance to hit the goal on the left side of the penalty area.

Dejas and Gombani are ready.

Payette kicked the goal.

boom!
Sasso next to him even blocked the football with a sliding tackle.

Reece took control of the football.

The Marseille team started a crazy frontcourt press.

Reese couldn't play the ball forward and could only pass it back to Dejas.

Dejas and the keeper's route are cut off by Payette.

At the same time, there is no room for big feet.

Dejas took the risk of giving the ball to Sasso who had just stood up from the ground and asked for the ball.

Sasso faced the football with a... leak.

The Marseille player who pressed Sasso was shaken.

Sasso followed the ball and kicked it forward with his non-dominant left foot.

Completed a very beautiful solution...

"Wait! Lu Yang, it's Lu Yang!"

"This ball actually found Lu Yang!"

"This is a counterattack!"

"Lu Yang and the central defenders of the Marseille team blocked each other, and Lu Yang relied on the opponent to stop the ball."

"Excellent pick! Lu Yang passed by!"

"Single-handed! Lu Yang is single-handed!"

"Marseille's goalkeeper strikes!"

"Lu Yang shot! The goalkeeper of the Marseille team went to the ground to save it. Oh, it was a rubbing shot, it was a half-high ball. The goalkeeper of Marseille raised his palm high, but it was still more than ten centimeters away from the football. It would be great if he didn't go to the ground."

"The goal was scored! Newcastle scored one to zero, taking the initiative to advance to the UEFA Cup final!"

"Sasso completed a wonderful clearance and assist, and Lu Yang single-handedly scored!"

"I have to say that Sasso's feeling in this game is slightly different from before. The calm general style is back!"

"Is Sasso more suitable for the midfielder position?"

"But his running ability may not be suitable for kicking a midfielder."

"In any case, Sasso's position in this position at least made up for the problem of Newcastle's waist weakness, and changed the direction to liberate Lu Yang."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, I am more optimistic about Newcastle in this game!"

　300 million words, yeah!
