I Just Can Score

The uproarious reports from the outside media have added a lot of discussion within Newcastle United.

During the interval between team training, the players will also start to discuss the season results. The Premier League is one aspect, and the FA Cup is also one aspect.

Most teammates are optimistic about the FA Cup.

The honor of the FA Cup is still quite important, especially for those English players. They grew up in the English football environment, and they will have a certain vision for the FA Cup under their influence, and feel that it is a great honor.

Players outside of England just don't understand.

Zhen Shaolong didn't understand at all.

FA Cup?

Looking left and right, it’s just a cup competition, not much different from Germany’s German Cup. The champion has the qualifications to participate in European competitions, but Newcastle United ranks very high in the league. Next season will definitely qualify for the Champions League and the FA Cup The champion is also a bit tasteless.

In addition, the FA Cup prize money is also very small.

Even if they win the FA Cup, the club won't get much bonus. How much is distributed to a single player depends entirely on the club's conscience. If the conscience is not good, there will be no money.

Zhen Shaolong has no hope for this kind of bonus that is not stipulated in the contract. The so-called "Premier League and FA Cup" double championship, in his opinion, is no different from a single league championship, so he is not very interested in the FA Cup. care.

Of course.

If you can fight for it, you still have to fight for it. After all, it is a championship and you can also get a medal.

Recently, Zhen Shaolong has many things to do. The two major things are signing new sponsors and cooperating with domestic media reporters to shoot short films.

Needless to say, signing a new sponsor.

Cooperating with reporters to shoot short videos is to prepare for the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games, which basically means expressing expectations for the Beijing Olympic Games and welcomes more domestic and foreign audiences to pay attention to the Olympic Games held in China.

Now Zhen Shaolong has been recognized as the number one player in Chinese football. Even though he is still very young and is just approaching his 21st birthday, his performance is so crazy that no player in China can compare with him. As for the whole of Europe In the world, no one dares to say that his performance is better.

crazy performance,

The result is crazy fame, and crazy influence.

When the Beijing Olympic Games was about to open, he became a very important sports guest and participant, and he was invited to be the image ambassador of the Beijing Olympic Games.

certainly.

It's nothing.

Many well-known athletes have become the image ambassadors of the Beijing Olympic Games.

He is just one of them.

In addition, Zhen Shaolong was also invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. There will be a one-minute solo scene. The director's arrangement is to let him appear on the field with a football. He will use handsome movements to kick the football out to lead to the next stage program.

A one-minute appearance shot is already quite remarkable.

That was the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. Every detail on the scene is related to China's external image. Being able to have a separate shot in it is enough to show the influence of Zhen Shaolong in China. What he has to do is also very unusual, without any In the case of external assistance, the ball must be accurately hit a fixed target 20 meters away.

In theory, he has two chances.

The first time a mistake is allowed, the electronic equipment will immediately catch up, creating an atmosphere that makes people feel that he is deliberately 'kicking in that direction'.

This is a means of 'buying leaks'.

But no matter what, it must be a success. The person in charge of the Olympic Games talked about this issue face-to-face during the video call with Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong said with certainty, "No problem, I'm sure I can do it!"

That's how it's determined.

Zhen Shaolong's performance is too good and his influence is too great, he has become the "spokesman" of domestic football.

When foreign fans talk about Chinese football, the first thing that comes to mind is Zhen Shaolong, and many people can’t help but give a thumbs up. As Zhen Shaolong’s performance is getting better and better, his popularity is getting higher and higher, and he has global influence. , and even somewhat surpassed Yao Ming.

This is what performance brings.

Yao Ming is a world-class basketball star, he can be said to be the number one player in Chinese basketball, but his scope extends to the entire NBA, and there are many stars who perform as well as Yao Ming or perform better than him.

Zhen Shaolong is different.

Zhen Shaolong has been considered the number one player in Chinese football, even if the scope is extended to the whole world, he is still one of the best performers.

One, or modesty.

In terms of his performance this season, he is the best player in the world. His impressive number of goals has shocked the whole of Europe and even the world.

Soccer is the number one sport in the world. China’s football is a bit bleak. It was originally excluded from the Olympic Games, but there was no football factor in the opening ceremony, as if something was missing. With Zhen Shaolong’s performance and influence, the Olympic Games opened Shi decided to add a shot of him.

This shot is also risky.

If Zhen Shaolong couldn't kick the ball to the correct position in public, it would definitely affect the overall effect, which is enough to show the affirmation and attention Zhen Shaolong received.

Zhen Shaolong was indeed a little stressed.

The difficulty of that shot is not a big deal. In normal times, if you kick dozens of times in a row, it is very difficult to make a mistake. But then it will be the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. With at least hundreds of millions of spectators watching, you will feel nervous all over your body thinking about it. trembling.

He is also looking forward to it.

That's the Beijing Olympic Games!

————

Zhen Shaolong is already looking forward to the Olympics, but the time is still a bit early.

The most important thing at present is to play the club's game well and strive to help the team win the league championship.

He is also looking forward to it.

The honor in football is the championship.

Since entering the professional league, he has only won the championship once, which is still a somewhat tasteless German Cup championship. Now, a top league championship is in sight.

He has to work hard.

From the end of March to the beginning of April, Newcastle United played two consecutive games. The first game was against Reading. Zhen Shaolong scored two goals and helped the team beat Reading 3-1.

The other is away to Portsmouth.

Portsmouth is also Newcastle United's opponent in the FA Cup semi-final. The game can be said to be a preview of the FA Cup semi-final, and the process is still very attractive.

Many media and fans paid attention to the game.

From the outside world, there should be no suspense for Newcastle United to win. Portsmouth's results are also good, but they are far behind the league's first.

Newcastle United's lineup strength has also recovered in recent times. Injured players such as Smith and Milner have returned to the team. They performed well after returning to the field, but the defense was still affected. The main full-back Carl and the main goalkeeper Given are still in the team. In the process of recovering from injuries, it is difficult for them to play for the team this season, making Newcastle United's defense a little unstable, but it is still difficult for Portsmouth to take advantage of this, because their lineup is average and there is no too strong center. frontcourt.

The same goes for games.

As expected by the outside media, Newcastle United also showed great strength in the away game. In the tenth minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong used the first cold shot from the outside to break through the gate of Portsmouth.

It was a little awkward after that.

Newcastle's consecutive offenses have not been able to create threats, because they have a player who performed very poorly--

Michael Owen.

Irving is the one who attracts the most attention on the field. Since the start of the game, Irving has kept closing his eyes and missing opportunities in a row. It can be said that it is a mess. Players and the media have launched criticisms. very dissatisfied --

"He's doing it again!"

"What the hell is Michael doing? Is it a ceremony? But he can't always be like this?"

"I know! Michael's imitation of Zhen, but he has to, accept one thing - he is not Zhen! It doesn't make any sense for him to do this!"

"..."

In the incomprehension of the outside world and his teammates, Irving continued his own approach. He thought he was right, and kept working hard, hoping to find his status and luck sooner.

but……

He failed!

Allardyce tolerated Owen's half-time, because Newcastle United had been leading, and he did not choose to change in a hurry. Owen did not perform any performance in the half-time, and Newcastle United seemed to be missing one person on the field.

During the intermission, Allardyce did not avoid suspicion at all, and called Viduka in public, "Mark, get ready to play!" The meaning in the words could not be more obvious, that is, to replace Owen.

Owen's eyes were full of unwillingness and loss.

After working hard for half a game, he couldn't find the feeling of playing against Tottenham at all. The continuous closing of his eyes even affected his state. Two low-level mistakes.

Irving knew that his psychology was affected. He didn't focus on the game. Most of the time he wanted to find the feeling, which naturally affected his normal performance.

He doubted again, "Am I really wrong?"

"Just like what Zhen Shaolong said, it's completely useless to do that? Maybe the last game was just an illusion?"

"But I definitely can't do that. If this happens again in the next game, I may not have the chance to play, and even the fans will not support me!"

Owen felt a little sad.

What's even more sad is that no one in the team sympathized with him. Most of the teammates didn't understand. The only one who understood was Zhen Shaolong. He took the time to persuade him, "Michael, you can't keep doing that, it's useless!"

"As long as you perform seriously, you don't need to pursue any luck at all!"

"You are already excellent!"

This is Zhen Shaolong's heartfelt words.

Without system skills, he must be incomparable to Owen. Owen's technology cannot be said to be the best in the world, but it is also the top batch.

As long as you put in 100% effort, Irving's performance will not be bad.

Owen was a little moved.

When the whole team didn't understand, only Zhen Shaolong still took the initiative to comfort him.

The icing on the cake is easy.

To make matters worse... Cough cough, it's hard to send charcoal in the snow!

Owen didn't know such a profound idiom, but that's what he felt in his heart. He said sincerely to Zhen Shaolong, "Thank you!"

————

second half.

After David Duka replaced Owen, Newcastle United's performance returned to normal. They launched an attack around the Portsmouth half, and Portsmouth could only passively defend after waves of continuous attacks.

The final score was 3-0.

Newcastle United scored two more goals, one of which belonged to Viduka, and the other belonged to Smith who assisted him, and they won the game with a strong score.

This victory is crucial.

In the same match, Manchester United drew 2-2 away at Middlesbrough, widening the gap with Newcastle United to four points.

Four points cannot be caught up in one game.

After the game, Newcastle United also felt very relaxed, but the club did not have a holiday, because the game they are about to face is directly related to the league championship.

This one is against Liverpool.

Newcastle United's away game against Liverpool must be a difficult game, but it is a bit of a fuss to say that it has risen to the level of league competition. The reason why the outside world thinks so is also related to another game that is going on at the same time.

It was a match between Manchester United and Chelsea.

While Newcastle United will challenge Liverpool, Manchester United will also play against Chelsea. Both games are full of suspense. If Newcastle United can successfully score three points and Manchester United loses the game, they will pull down Manchester United by seven points. Considering that there are only four rounds in the league, Manchester United has almost no chance of tying.

It can even be said that this game can directly determine the ownership of the Premier League champion.

When a round of the league can determine the championship, it will naturally receive great attention. The outside media have analyzed the two games. Leaving aside the match between Manchester United and Chelsea, it will not be easy for Newcastle United to beat Liverpool in an away game.

The strength of the two sides is still on the one hand, and the referee of the game has also attracted much attention.

The referee's name is Weber.

Webber is a very famous referee in the Premier League. The reason why he is famous has nothing to do with his rich law enforcement experience, and his personal image is not outstanding. The main outside world believes that Webber is a Manchester United man. He has a nickname of "Manchester United's queen referee." '.

'Manchester United's queen referee', just listen to the title given by the fans, and you will know the impression of Weber's law enforcement.

He favors Manchester United.

This favoritism is reflected in penalties.

In the game of law enforcement for Manchester United, Webber often awarded penalties to Manchester United, and it is difficult for the opponent to get a penalty kick, and the penalty kick may directly affect the outcome of the game.

Regardless of whether Webber was genuinely partial or just happened to make a few calls in United's favour, the impression left was that he was an absolute supporter of United.

The match between Liverpool and Newcastle United seems to have nothing to do with Manchester United, but considering that Manchester United and Newcastle United compete for the league title, there are many media appearances, and Webber may favor Liverpool's voice.

Most of these reports come from small media, but there are also reports from big media.

For example, The Guardian.

When Liverpool and Newcastle United played, the "Guardian" undoubtedly supported Newcastle United, and an analysis report appeared on their homepage website, pointing out possible unfavorable factors in the game, "Webber is a Manchester United man!"

"It sounds unbelievable that a Manchester United man may favor Liverpool, but only if Liverpool wins can Manchester United have a chance to win the league title!"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend..."

"At least, temporarily..."

The analysis and report of the "Guardian" was reproduced and followed by many small and medium-sized media. They wanted to use this method to put pressure on Weber, who was law enforcement.

This probably works a bit.

Just like the 'big mouth' Mourinho, when he coached Chelsea, he often put pressure on the referee. They hope that the referee will at least remain neutral and the law enforcement should not favor Liverpool. Especially when Liverpool is still playing at home, the referee is likely to be 'biased' Yes, putting pressure on the referee will help alleviate the situation.

but……

Zhen Shaolong felt a little sympathetic to Weber.

The massive media reports not only put pressure on Weber, but also made Weber unlucky enough to activate the mission--

"Hint: There are new system tasks triggered.

The outside world believes that there may be situations where referees may not enforce the law impartially during the game.

In order to ensure the fairness of sports competitions, the host needs to have three intimate contact between the football and the referee's body in the upcoming game.

(Note: During the execution of the mission, the host acquires the special skill "Precise Guidance".

"Precise Guidance": Can be used five times.

The next time the football you kick is touched by others, as long as you kick it with enough force, you can choose to activate the skill, and the football will be corrected to the designated target. )

Task reward: Increase the endurance index by a little bit, and increase the appearance evaluation by a little bit. "
