Chapter 182: Massacre (Part II)
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half and signaled that the game had entered the half-time period, there was a dead silence in the stands at St James' Park, and Newcastle fans were stunned to see the score displayed on the big screen of the stadium!
Four to 0! In just half a game, Tottenham Hotspur beat Newcastle, who finished sixth in the Premier League last season, into a sieve, and the most important thing is that these results were achieved by Tottenham Hotspur on the road!
"Can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on?!" Souness, who returned to the dressing room, couldn't hold back anymore and roared loudly in the room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He never imagined that his team would be beaten by Tottenham at home like this!
"We are Newcastle! The sixth place in the league last season, the third place in the Premier League in the 02-03 season, is the existence that can compete with Manchester United and Arsenal!" Because the result of 0-4 was too unexpected, at this time, Souness's voice was somewhat angry and hysterical, "Look at your performance today! Not only was he beaten by Tottenham without any defense, but he also conceded four goals in a row in just 45 minutes, where is there worthy of the Newcastle shirt you are wearing?!" ”
However, Souness's rant did not stir up the fighting spirit of the Newcastle players and did not receive any response. Lee Bowyer, Dyer, and Jenas all looked indifferent, while captain Alan Shearer looked disapprovingly at Brambull and Bumsson, looking like they wanted to kill them with their eyes, but none of them took Souness's words to heart.
This is the hidden danger caused by the manager's lack of big names - as a player, none of the Magpies players here (including Nicky Bart and Kluivert) have achieved as much honor as Souness, but Souness has not achieved any good results in the head coach position, coupled with the recent behind-the-scenes turmoil led by Shepard, and even the news that Shearer hopes that Shearer will take over the Newcastle coaching whip after retiring, which has led to almost everyone present regarding Souness as a transitional figure.
The saddest thing is that the feel-good Souness didn't realise it and really saw himself as the leader who led Newcastle to glory. Therefore, after seeing that the players were indifferent to his words, Souness's anger suddenly rose to another level!
Of course, no matter how angry and angry Souness is, it won't be of any use.
Meanwhile, in the visiting dressing room, George was also commenting on the first half: "Guys, I'm very happy with your performance in the first half! Because today, I have only one request for you, and that is to score as many goals as possible!"
Although George is not very old, even younger than many of the players in this room, because of his special status (Tottenham owner and manager), no one dares to take his words seriously. You must know that those who dare to openly confront him, such as the former Sheringham, have been cleared out of White Hart Lane by him. With these lessons from the past, naturally no one will stand up and say goodbye to George at this time.
"Hey, Chris [Ronaldo], do you know what happened today, why do you have to kill Newcastle?" looked at George, who was impassionedly mobilizing everyone to keep up the effort and try to score more goals in the second half, Xavi Alonso asked Ronaldo suspiciously. Although he has only been with Tottenham for a short time, the smart Spaniard has long seen that Ronaldo's relationship with his boss is significantly closer than anyone else's.
"What else could it be? It must be that the boss wanted to take advantage of this game to give Sir Robson an outlet. Ronaldo first glanced at George cautiously, and after confirming that the other party did not notice his small movements, he replied in a low voice, "Xavi (Alonso), you only joined the team this summer, so there are some things you don't know much. The reason why he takes this game so seriously and asks us to continue scoring in this situation is because Sir Robson is the leader of the coaching circle. Therefore, the leader has always been very dissatisfied with Sir Robson being demolished by Newcastle's high-level crosses the river and the bridge, so he will think about avenging him. ”
"I see. After listening to Ronaldo's explanation, Alonso, who knew the reason, suddenly nodded in understanding, and at the same time made a decision secretly in his heart.
Although Alonso has never been involved in any of the club's battles, that doesn't mean the Spaniard doesn't know how to behave in the world. In fact, in his previous life, Alonso was able to stand alone in several struggles, not only by virtue of a neutral position, but also by a manifestation of wisdom!
Therefore, if Alonso doesn't seize this great opportunity for his own boss, he will be really stupid!
In this way, the Newcastle players who are playing at home have their own ghosts in their hearts, and Souness's outburst at halftime not only did not, but further deepened the contradictions between them, and under George's order, the Tottenham players who were sharpening their knives and preparing to attack the Magpies couldn't wait for the game to restart!
Eventually, when another 45 minutes passed and the final whistle blew, St James' Park, which had been full at the start of the game, had become sparse, and the Magpies fans who insisted on staying in the stadium were all staring blankly at the score displayed on the big screen. The visitors' fan zone in the corner of the stands was a scene of boiling cheers - in the second round of the 2004-05 Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur, who had already led by four goals at half-time, scored three more goals in the second half to thrash Newcastle United 7-0!
Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Villa and Alonso each scored a goal in this game. The latter, in particular, in addition to scoring the first goal for Tottenham, also provided two assists, which is extremely impressive!
However, the award for best player went to Miroslav Klose – the German's hat-trick in the game allowed him to beat team-mate Marcos Alonso for his first individual honour since landing in the Premier League.
By the way, after the game, the upset Newcastle fans wanted to teach these Tottenham fans who dared to celebrate on their turf a lesson, but the on-site security staff prevented them from doing so, and they were punished harshly by the disciplinary committee - a £100,000 and three home bans were the price Newcastle fans paid for their impulsive behavior!
