"Coach Nelson, you did really well at Tottenham last season, and you deserve the title of the Premier League's No. 1 coach, quite like I did back then. www.biquge.info Of course, you're still a little bit worse than I was back then. At the pre-match handshake between the players of both sides, Graeme Souness, who succeeded Robson Sr. as Newcastle manager, took the initiative to chat with George. It's just that the first words he said made the green tendons on George's face jump unconsciously.

Souness, do you guys not speak, or are you here on purpose to find fault?, trying to maintain a semblance of calm, George looked at the Scotsman in front of him quietly, and his heart had already sprayed the other party with blood.

Although Souness led Rangers to three Premier League titles in four years after becoming head coach, don't forget that the overall strength and competition of the Premier League are not as fierce as the Premier League, and the league title has been won by Rangers and Celtic for a long time. So, it's no surprise that Souness was able to achieve such results with Rangers. However, George led Manchester United to win the Premier League title against Arsenal in his first season as acting manager, and his gold content is not much higher than Soness's three Soviet Super League titles!

Not to mention, George's first full season in charge not only brought Tottenham Hotspur, who had missed out on European football last season, to the runners-up of the league, but also brought Tottenham the League Cup and FA Cup trophies. Such a result, how can it be compared to Soness, who has a chance to lift the championship trophy by hugging the thigh of Glasgow Rangers?

Souness was indeed a great star as a player, with his tenacity and leadership making him one of Liverpool's greatest captains of all time. But as a head coach, Souness can hardly be called qualified. Especially after leaving Fenerbahce in '96, the Scots could only seek employment in the middle and lower leagues of the national leagues.

It is precisely for this reason that when Souness sells his qualifications in front of George, George is so disgusted with him - obviously he has no ability, but he dares to run in front of me to rely on the old and sell the old, do you really think that I am good-tempered and will not deal with you?

Newcastle, Souness, Shepard, wash your necks and wait! Today's game, if I don't cast a psychological shadow on you all, I won't be George Nelson!

Given, O'Brien, Bramble, Bumsson, Bernard, Nicky Bart, Jenas, Lee Bowyer, Laurent Robert, Kluivert and Alan Shearer, that's Newcastle's starting eleven for this game!

Compared to last season, Newcastle's book strength has been significantly strengthened. Up front, the Magpies brought in Dutch international Kluivert from Barcelona and Roy Keane's first substitute Nicky Bart from Manchester United in midfield. Coupled with the rapid growth of young players such as Bramble, Jenas and Dyer in the past two seasons, it can be said that this deck of cards in Souness's hand is much stronger than when Robson Sr. was there!

Having said that, it can be seen from the line-up of Souness for this game and the recruitment of the Magpies this summer that they simply do not have a clear enough understanding of this team - Bramble is good at frontal interceptions and short of fill-in, as a result, Shepard and Souness bought Ronny Johansen and Boumsson with overlapping styles, Alan Shearer is in desperate need of a qualified successor, and the Magpies have brought in Kluivert, who is 28 years old and in good form from Barcelona!

You know, even at the height of Kluivert's heyday, the Dutchman was not known in European football for his goalscoring efficiency. So, no matter how you look at it, it is not a reliable thing to have Kluivert come to take Alain Shearer's class!

It can be seen that although the book strength of this Newcastle team is strong, the rationality of the lineup and the state of many main players are not as good as when the old Robson was coaching. And this has also laid a huge hidden danger for the Magpie's journey this season!

After talking about Newcastle's line-up, let's take a look at Tottenham's side. George made several changes to his starting line-up compared to the game against Liverpool a week ago - at the back, Phil Neville replaced Stephen Carr and got the chance to start, in midfield, Basturk was rested and replaced by Dutch boars Edgar Davies and Marcos Alonso, and up front, Klose, who had won two games in a row, gained George's trust and became Tottenham's starting centre-forward, pushing Drogba to the bench!

These changes to the starting line-up were made partly because Tottenham had a two-game schedule ahead of the week, and George needed to prepare in advance to reduce the negative impact on the players' form, and partly to take care of the emotions of Davies and others. You know, Davies chose to join Tottenham Hotspur, high salary is of course a very important factor, but if they don't get enough opportunities, they will also be dissatisfied.

What's more, Davis's strength is actually no worse than Basturk and others. That's why George arranged for them to be on the starting list, in order to let these guys who have been on the bench for a long time release the energy they have accumulated over the years in this game!

Sure enough, after the start of the game, the likes of Klose and Phil Neville were extremely active. The former's active off-the-ball movement and repeated kicking style of pulling out of the penalty area made Bramble and Bumsson, who were only good at frontal confrontations, miserable, and the latter not only successfully locked Robert's left-sided attack, but even uncharacteristically took the initiative to participate in the attack!

And the combination of Davies and Alonso exploded with unexpected power on the pitch - the former's sweeping ability that was enough to cover the entire midfield was perfectly combined with the latter's organizational skills, completely suppressing Newcastle's midfield!

Although during Davies's time at Juventus, people often put him and Tacinadi alongside him as the Bianconeri's iron wall in the midfield, but in fact, discerning people know very well that Tacinadi is just a midfield engineer, and Davies, who is versatile in attack and defense, is the real core of Juventus' midfield!

To put it mildly, if it weren't for Davis's advanced age, physical fitness, athletic condition and range of motion that have declined from his peak, then Basturk would not have been able to get a chance to start before!

Tottenham's first goal of the game was also created by the two of them - in the fifteenth minute, Mascherano steals the ball at the feet of Jenas near the center circle of the stadium and sends a through ball, Davies directly turns and cleanly brushes the snatching Nicky Butt with a pull ball, and after attracting Bramble's attention, he passes the ball diagonally to Xavi Alonso, who is cut forward to the top of the penalty area, who makes a slight adjustment and volleys directly!

Alonso's long-range shot was not very powerful, but the angle was very tricky, and the ball bounced on the turf during the flight made it more difficult for Givens to save. So, just seconds after Alonso's shot, a roar erupted in cheers from the corner of the stands at St James' Park!

1-0, only fifteen minutes from the start of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, who was fighting away, scored the first goal with a long-range shot from the top of the penalty area by Alonso and got the initiative in the game!
