Do whatever you want [football]

When Li Xian came to the kitchen after taking a shower, he first made himself a cup of coffee, put slices of bread into the toaster, and then opened the refrigerator to take out the broth, shrimp slips, tofu, and leftovers that he had prepared and frozen into chunks.

Today's breakfast is egg fried rice and tofu shrimp soup. As for the sandwiches, it is lunch for the children.

He will visit Ji Wen later, if he doesn't come back in time, the sandwiches will be the children's rations!

The children had already come downstairs one after another, and Tony helped him cut the tofu.

After breakfast was ready, everyone gathered at the dining table to have breakfast together, and Li Xian told the children that he was going to visit Ji Wen and might not be able to go home at noon.

Now the children didn't care about eating, and before Li Xian could react, Xiaoge ran upstairs to get the blessing card they wrote yesterday and handed it to Li Xian, "'Baba', this is what we gave to Xie Yi's."

This is so sweet!

Li Xian was full of pride for his lamb. He took it with both hands solemnly. After a glance, he found that the children's wishes for Ji Wen were written all over. He immediately praised the lambs. It's so thick, what's the matter without a filter!Isn't his child worthy of his pride?

After breakfast, he drove to the hospital to visit the sick.

The reason why he drove was also because he didn't want to attract media attention and disturb Ji Wen's recuperation.

When he arrived at the hospital parking lot, he received a call from Shearer. It didn't take long for Shearer and Duke to rush over, and then they went to visit Ji Wen together.

When they arrived, the doctor had just finished inspecting the ward and left. Ji Wen was half lying on the bed, and when he saw them coming in, he smiled and waved at them. He didn't look like someone who had just had an operation at all.

"Thank you for coming to see me early in the morning. It seems that I am very popular. I have received text messages from the whole team."

Li Xian looked at this guy's complacent look, left him first, and greeted Ms. Zhen who was looking at them with a smile.

Ji Wen didn't care either, he shook his wife's hand, as if he was proud of having such a loving wife, this wave of dog food...

Li Xian decided to endure it!

Who made him like this couple?After asking how Ji Wen was feeling now, he comforted him, "Get well soon, Shay, you know how much those guys don't let me worry."

Ji Wen doesn't like him at all!

The Irish national goal publicly mocked his coach!

"They don't worry? Isn't that what you are used to? Randall, don't try to get out of it, the tactics are all arranged by you! It's you who made me always get flooded. My son asked me last season, why? I conceded more goals than in previous seasons! Can you understand how I felt?"

Ji Wen's complaint immediately made Hiller and Duke laugh, and even Jane threw up his hands at Li Xian. What can Li Xian say?He can only carry this pot on his back.

Before Li Xian took over Newcastle, the two central defenders could not count on them. The so-called goalkeepers of weak teams, the only hope for Souness in the backcourt in the first half of last season was Given!

Li Xian still has an intermediate treatment card ① left in his hand, but he cannot use it for Ji Wen.

It's not that he favors one another, that Shay still keeps this card for the sake of the team's serious injury, but because Shay's injury is fundamentally different from other people's.

Robson Sr. was cancer, and he had beaten several types of cancer.

Everyone knows Irving, and it was also a major operation at the time.

Although Ji Wen's condition was very critical at that time, after the operation, Li Xian learned about Ji Wen's condition in detail and found that Ji Wen did not need to use the intermediate treatment card.

Because Ji Wen's operation was very successful and did not leave him with sequelae, his biggest injury was the wound he had after the operation.In other words, it will not affect his competitive state, all he needs is wound healing time.

In fact, seeing that he can play until he is 40 years old and has not retired yet, you can know that his "durability" is very high.What Ji Wen needs now is to recuperate slowly. The intermediate treatment card will only speed up the healing speed, but will not help his condition any more. If he still has a garbage treatment card, it should be the most suitable for dealing with this kind of injury !

After visiting Shay Wen, Li Xian and the others returned to the Rigburton training base together, and they were going to hold an important meeting——

The main goalkeeper is temporarily on hiatus, they must have a countermeasure, right?

"Can Navas be recalled in advance?" Li Xian looked at the old Robson and Harrison who had been invited by him.As the saying goes, "A family with an elder is like a treasure", and now that something is going on, he urgently needs the help of the two elders.

"You have such a beautiful idea!" Harrison glanced at Li Xian, "Unless the three registered adult goalkeepers are all injured, you can apply to the Premier League for an emergency loan goalkeeper! This is the same in the Champions League, even if you will accept Wass recalled, and he and his current team agree, but he still can't play in the Champions League. And did you forget about that damn work permit again?"

Li Xian: QAQ!

Mr. Harrison deserves to be the "strict teacher" of Manchester United's class of 92 who trembles a little when he mentions it. With his skills, he might not lose to Ferguson!

After seeing Li Xian's small eyes, Harrison glanced at old Robson. Is Randall lacking in wisdom today?

Old Robson is not like this guy who was dug up by him, but he is still a red devil in his bones. He loves Li Xian very much.

He mentioned Li Xian: "It's impossible to loan the goalkeeper or recall it. Harper and Robert must be one. Of course, you can also rotate to see who is more secure among them, but I think it should be Harper."

"Okay." Li Xian remembered the suggestion.

Now that the selection of the goalkeeper has come to an end, it is the turn of tactics.

Allegri and Harrison's suggestions were defensive counterattacks. After all the coaches had finished speaking, the old Robson asked Li Xian, who had been silent all the time, "Do you want to continue to attack again, kid?"

Li Xian didn't expect that the old man had seen through the little Jiujiu in his heart, so he nodded "shyly" while everyone was speechless.

Harrison immediately rolled his eyes.

Waves, just use your strength to wave!

"The so-called offense is the best defense. Isn't it good to have a destructive offense? We have found the feeling now, and I think we are playing pass and control very well now, beautiful and passionate..." Li Xian made excuses for himself , I just like beautiful football, can't I?

Harrison commented on his remarks: "Passion is indeed passion, gorgeousness is indeed gorgeous, and you have Nesta again, even if Harper or Robert is unreliable, you can still count on Nesta to help you command the future." Defense, and Nesta has quit the national team, you can rely on him with confidence, right?"

Li Xian winked mischievously at the old man, "You are too powerful, that's what I think. If you look at me like that again, I will be ashamed."

Harrison didn't bother to look at him, but instead looked at old Robson, his eyes were obviously "Do you care about this little bastard?"

The old gentleman avoided the eyes of his old friend, smiled and said: "I think there is nothing wrong with attacking. Nesta is a top central defender. He has proved his worth. With him, we have an extra side" sigh Wall'."

Since the old Robson and the coach Li Xian insisted on attacking, everyone tacitly discussed the tactics in depth.After the discussion was almost over, the old Robson asked, "Randall, do you want Tony to play?"

Li Xian nodded, looking into the old man's eyes, expecting the old man's reaction.

The old Robson suggested: "Bell is good, and Tony is also good. I know that our bench is a little weak. You can give these children some opportunities, of course at the right time."

Harrison also gave advice, "Manchester United will have more than one youth training team make their debut at Old Trafford every year. This is very important for the children. I think you can regularly draw some children from the youth training students to join the team. Playing an official game against players from the top league is a good motivation for them and gives them hope for the future."

But Li Xian heard his unfinished intention: it can also make young players more loyal!

After the meeting, the old Robson took the initiative to stay, obviously he had something to discuss with Li Xian.

"Bobby?" Li Xian looked at old Robson.

Shearer talked a lot with old Robson yesterday, but the old gentleman didn't want to discuss his "problem" with Li Xian, he thought everything was moving in a good direction, and now another problem is more important, "Randall, Are you trying to bring in a goalkeeper to join the fray?"

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect old Robson to be so sophisticated!

"I say that because the problem we have now is obvious. When you have Nesta, the biggest weakness is the goalkeeper. If you don't change the tactical system, Shea really doesn't fit Newcastle anymore." The old Robson was also a little sad when he said this.

Shay was not the goalkeeper he introduced. In fact, Shay had already come to Newcastle for 2 seasons before he took charge of the Magpies coach.

He has actually played well in the past few seasons, but when the entire team has a new look and the entire tactical system has changed, Shay no longer adapts to the team's system.

Because what Newcastle needs now is a goalkeeper with better ball ability!

Newcastle's goalkeeper also needs the ability to play the ball?

Of course it is!

Does the goalkeeper's ability to play the ball help the offense?You can tell from Van der Sar's performance when he played against Manchester United. This Dutchman from Ajax is the best among all goalkeepers whether he throws the ball or makes a long pass!In that game, he directly threw the ball many times, accurately finding his own players to suppress Newcastle's offense...

He also directly initiated long passes from the backcourt many times to help the team counterattack quickly!

Shay's goal line skills are good, but Shay is not good at playing the ball.

Therefore, Newcastle's offense has relied more on Maicon after Lixian bought Maicon. With Marcelo this season, the offense on the left has also improved.If we say that he was lame on the left side before, he is half lame now, because Marcelo's defense is not solid. Of course, Li Xian did not expect Marcelo to be "solid in defense" one day.

What if there is a goal with better long balls?

The "appearance rate" of Irving, Luca Toni and Lewandowski will be greatly increased!If the goalkeeper can send the ball to the front of the penalty area more accurately and quickly, Newcastle's counterattack will be faster!

Li Xian said frankly: "I have considered this issue, and I am still hesitating whether to introduce a new goalkeeper during the winter break."

"Let's hear it?" said old Robson.

"Navas is a good player. I will not question his ability and potential. His goal line ability is definitely top potential, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in his ability to play the ball. The ability to defend the high-altitude ball is not very good."

The old Robson nodded and signaled Li Xian to continue. He knew that Li Xian could not have only one option.

"The other is what I found when I observed Mesut at the time. It was Neuer from Schalke 04. He was also promoted to the first team this year, but he hasn't had a chance yet. As a goalkeeper, I think he is better than Navas. More potential, excellent physical condition, no obvious shortcomings, but he has one characteristic..."

Li Xian's expression was a bit indescribable, and old Robson's curiosity was aroused. He rarely saw Li Xian showing such an expression, so he hurriedly asked: "What's the characteristic! Don't hesitate!"

"wave!"

Old Robson: "...huh?"

Is he old and has hearing problems?

"Neuer likes to attack in a large area, or it can be said that he likes to plan and even direct the attack by himself." After Li Xian finished speaking, he saw the old Robson raised his eyebrows, and he looked at the old man.

"I want to see his training tape, have you got it?" Robson Sr. asked.

"Graham is an excellent scout, he collected some." Li Xian turned on the computer and projector, and closed the curtains.

After watching Neuer's training video when he was still in Schalke's second team, old Robson thought about it for a while before asking Li Xian, "What's your preference?"

Li Xian is a little troubled. Frankly speaking, Neuer is better than Navas in all aspects. If Neuer can be "steady", he is obviously a better choice than Navas.

Of course, from Li Xian's own point of view, he prefers Navas to Neuer.

Navas and Iker Casillas are the two generations of Real Madrid goalkeepers, they belong to the same type, that is, their goal line skills are very strong, but their height limits their performance on high-altitude balls. Compared with Feng and Neuer, they are inferior.

Li Xian couldn't answer immediately, but old Robson understood that he still liked Navas better, and he smiled knowingly.

In fact, the reason is very simple: if Randall likes Neuer more, he has already bought him back this summer. Looking at those videos, he knows that he has let Graham observe Neuer for a long time, and Neuer has not No labor certification required, no?

Neuer is indeed very good, but the old coach does not think he is a suitable choice, "Neuer is very good, very good, it will be profitable to buy him even if he is loaned out, but I think your judgment is right, he He's a great goalkeeper and his technique suits our needs, but his style... suits us too much!"

Think about it, if the current Magpies have a goalkeeper like Neuer, is this going to make Nesta the last barrier?

The Italians will definitely catch Neuer and rage every day!

As for Navas——

"Recall Navas in advance during the winter break, and let him start a healthy competition with Shay." The old Robson looked at Li Xian, like a loving grandfather looking at his grandson who is worried about the exam, "Silly boy, On a level playing field, no matter who starts, the other has nothing to say. Shai is a good player, and he's a professional."

"Navas is only 20 years old this year. I followed his recent matches in the Portuguese Super League. He played very well! He still has a lot of room for growth, as long as you give him enough opportunities and time."

"You are now the youngest manager in the five major leagues, leading the team with the youngest average age in the Premier League. What do they call us now? Newcastle Young Guards? I don't like that! Randall, be patient! Be a fledgling When the hard feathers grow, we will sweep Europa!"

Li Xian looked at the old Robson, the old man's eyes glistened with water.

Bobby, do you want Newcastle to become the second team in England to win the treble alongside Manchester United?
