The wrinkles on Newcastle manager Rode's face were not relieved by the team's home draw against a strong Manchester United, because Middlesbrough behind them won this round of the league, so the gap between Middlesbrough and Newcastle narrowed to two points, just one game of points, which put Rod under great pressure.

Newcastle chairman Shepard once said that the position of Newcastle head coach is the 'happiest and respected job in the world' that even the British Prime Minister would envy, and Rod also thought so when he first took over the charge of Newcastle.

Newcastle, who have always had a high spirit, suffered a smack last season, despite the arrival of Owen, Emre, Luke, Solano, Scott Parker and other famous players, but the team still could not achieve the desired results, the Toto Cup was eliminated by Deportivo La Coruna, the League Cup was eliminated by Wigan, the first leg of the league against Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool all lost, after a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in February last year, Souness was disgraced, and Rod became Newcastle's ninth manager since the Premier League.

Rod must have missed the time when he was just appointed manager of Newcastle, he immediately led the team to a record of 5 wins and 1 draw after taking office, Newcastle is used to the back of the force, Rod just in time to go to the trip, but then the team again in the league and FA Cup in a row against Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, the result is another three consecutive defeats, with inertia to Charlton Athletic, Rod has just established a prestige in the hearts of the fans was shattered.

Newcastle really recovered after last year's April Fool's Day, winning six and drawing one of their last seven games, and the team soared from around 13th to seventh in the table, qualifying for the Toto Cup again. Back in the days of Keegan's reign, Newcastle were the favourites to win the tournament every year in the football media, but now this down-and-out team can only become a regular in the Toto Cup.

The old Shearer, who announced his retirement after that season, was able to become the team's top scorer this season, followed by his old partner Ameobi, who scored only nine goals, and the heavily introduced Owen only played 10 times and scored 7 goals because of injury, and the goal rate was good, but unfortunately, it was a glass man, and the Spanish goalscorer Luke, who was heavily introduced, scored 1 goal in 14 appearances, and the career of the Spanish striker worth 10 million was almost ruined at St. James' Park.

In fact, from the second half of last season, Newcastle's lack of attacking weakness has been unmistakable.

If it is said that after taking over the management of Newcastle last season, he enjoyed the feeling of rollercoaster in this position, although there was a low point in the middle, but, overall, it was a happy coaching career, then, so far this season, Newcastle's current decline is really worrying this gentleman.

Newcastle's biggest problem right now is the lack of attacking power, with Michael Owen continuing to be injured, Luke continuing his nightmare at St James' Park and Ameobi going into hibernation with the team. Martins, who spent 10 million pounds to bring in from Inter Milan last summer, broke the goal drought with five league games, and at present, the league has 22 rounds, and the Nigerian has scored 5 goals.

Do you really have to put your hopes in that kid of the youth team?

See his assistant Nigel. Pearson passed by outside, and Rod asked, "Nigel, you went to the youth team, how is the child's cousin?"

Hear Rod ask, Nigel. Pearson handed Rhodes a stack of video footage, an analysis of his opponent for the next match, and he said, "Andy. Carroll's table is as good as ever, and I think the kid has what it takes to play for the first team. ”

Rod pondered for a moment and said, "Sue Kenny, after tomorrow's FA Youth Cup match with Arsenal, you and Kenny will meet about Carroll's watch." If you can, let him report from the first team. ”

"OK!" Nigel Pearson nodded, recording the incident in his worksheet, "In the youth team, there was another kid who caught my eye. ”

"What position, striker?" Rod asked, he now dreamed that he would wake up with Alan Shearer, who was ten years younger, or a healthy Owen.

"Striker. Nigel Pearson nodded, "A nice Chinese boy." ”

"Chinese?" Rhodes was stunned, he didn't remember when the youth team had a strong Chinese striker, "Technical characteristics? ”

"A young man with good ability to grab points and a lot of fighting spirit. Nigel Pearson replied, "That's all we can see at the moment." As he handed a newspaper to Mr. Manager, "That's the kid, the funny kid." ”

The Newcastle manager looked down and saw that it was an "Echo", and the assistant had flipped the newspaper to the "Magpie Eye" section, and a bold headline caught his eye:

, FA Youth Cup, Newcastle v Arsenal, hat-trick or departure from Rigberry, David Prescott Do you dare bet?

The Newcastle manager's eyes widened as he looked up at his assistant, who shrugged and pointed to the newspaper, meaning that it was true.

At this time, the door of a Newcastle hotel was crowded with Arsenal Under-19 players, led by their manager Steve Bond, who had just arrived in Newcastle.

After arranging the lads' accommodation in the hotel, Steve Bond received a call from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Arsene Wenger's emphasis on youth training for ten years has finally begun to shine again. Half a year ago, in the League Cup final, facing Chelsea, Arsenal sent half of the youth team on the field, even if they failed to win the championship, but Mourinho, who must have been fine, was not very comfortable. To the joy of Arsenal fans, a new generation of young Gunners players rose to their feet again, and despite the defeat to Chelsea, it could not hide their edge.

As for the current Arsenal Under-19 team, Arsene Wenger said this group of players is the best in his tenure. He has high hopes for this group of children, the delicate Merida, the conscious and excellent Ramsey, the fast and agile Bella, the undead Simpson, the young and fierce Randall, and the very pleasing Gibbs.

Arsenal's youth team will face a one-eighth match away to Newcastle in the FA Youth Cup tomorrow, and Arsene Wenger, who is particularly concerned about this youth team, will naturally not ignore it.

"Steve, how are the children?" Wenger asked. He used to call the little ones in the youth team 'kids', and in the eyes of the professor, these are the children he has carefully cultivated, the treasure of Arsenal, the root of the Arsenal team.

"Very good, one qiēok. "The lads are in good shape, the whole team is in good shape and we're looking forward to tomorrow's game." ”

"That Andy Carroll from Newcastle, be careful. This kid is good. Arsene Wenger admonished.

"We focused on Carroll's characteristics, and Rogers and Randall will focus on him. Steve Bond said.

Hearing Steve Bond say that arrangements have been made for Rodgers and Randall, Wenger was relieved, and Wenger was still satisfied with the youth team coach, in addition, Rodger and Randall are young people that Wenger values very much, especially Randall, Wenger has sent this youngster in the League Cup games of the Arsenal first team many times.

"Haha. Very good. Arsene Wenger said happily, "I congratulate you and the children in advance. ”

"Don't worry. Arsène. Newcastle is no threat to us. Steve Bond assured the manager. He felt that he was right, what was there to worry about when he played Newcastle.

After talking to Arsene Wenger, Steve Bond spoke to his wife on the phone, chatted for a while, and went to bed.

On the desk in the room of the Arsenal U19 youth team manager, there is a brand new "Echo", I don't know if it was intentional by the hotel waiter, the newspaper happened to be flipped to the "Magpie Eye" section, a small photo of Yang Fan, and ', Youth FA Cup, Newcastle vs Arsenal, hat-trick or leaving Rigberry, David Prescott, do you dare to bet?' The report is very conspicuous.

It's a pity that the manager of Arsenal's U19 youth team, who has gone to bed, seems to have little interest in the local newspaper in Newcastle in the countryside, and is not even interested in taking a look.

Steve Bond's sleep has not been good, but he was confident of the victory over Newcastle United in the next day's game, and Steve Bond's sleep quality was quite good.

The next morning, the Arsenal Under-19s manager woke up with a mobile phone alarm, and the gentleman got up, washed up, opened the door, and went to the park near the hotel to take a walk, and then came back to wake up the lads who liked to sleep in.

"Good morning, sir. A hotel waiter greeted Steve Bond politely.

"Good morning. The Arsenal Under-19s manager responded politely.

"It's this morning's newspaper. The waiter handed a stack of newspapers to the Arsenal Under-19 manager.

"Thank you. Although there is no interest in the local newspaper in Newcastle, the newspaper is also a good service provided by the hotel, Steve Bond smiled and thanked him.

"Did you read yesterday's newspaper, sir?" the waiter asked suddenly.

Steve Bond was stunned, "I'm sorry, what did you say?

"It's the newspaper on the desk in your room. ”

"Sorry, it's too late, I didn't watch, is there anything interesting?" said Steve Bond.

"Then you'll have to take a look at it later. The waiter smiled.

Steve Bond was a little puzzled as he called out to the departing waiter, "Are you an Arsenal fan?"

"No, I'm a Tottenham Hotspur fan. The waiter said firmly.

Hearing that the other party said that it was Arsenal's sworn enemy Tottenham Hotspur fans, Steve Bond immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation, can you expect the fans of the city rivals to say anything more good?

After the waiter left, Steve Bond became more and more frustrated by the fact that he was a Tottenham Hotspur fan, and he simply went back to his room and picked up the newspaper that had been on his desk last night.

', FA Youth Cup, Newcastle v Arsenal, hat-trick or departure from Rigberry, David Prescott, do you dare to bet?'

Mr. Arsenal's Under-19 manager was completely shocked by the headline, he was messy.

Then, after reading this report on "Magpie Eye", which was almost a battle post, the gentleman was angry and angry.

An unknown Chinese boy, a man who has not scored in 10 consecutive rounds, dares to say that he wants to score a hat-trick against his own team?! Moreover, what is even more excessive is that this person is still in a hurry to send out a battle post in the newspaper!

This Chinese kid must want to be famous and crazy, or is he going to be tormented by the pressure of being kicked out of Rigberton, and he is insane?!

Does this kid know what he's talking about?! How dare he say he's going to score three goals for my arsenal! It's crazy! This guy is just grandstanding, and he's crazy to be famous!

Steve Bond finally knew why the hotel waiter, who was a Tottenham Hotspur fan, reminded himself to read this newspaper, this Tottenham Hotspur fan just wanted to see him angry! The dignified Arsenal was actually despised by a little-known crappy goalscorer who was almost swept away, and was actually threatened to score three goals by such a person! This is simply a humiliation for Arsenal's prestige and Arsenal's world-famous academy.

This Tottenham Hotspur fan is just watching the joke! Steve Bond gritted his teeth.

At this time, he remembered the other newspaper in his hand, this was today's newspaper, and the waiter specially sent it, it must have an ulterior motive.

The Arsenal U19 manager quickly glanced at the newspaper, which was a Newcastle Post, and he immediately grasped the point of the problem, the Chinese battle post seemed to be a Newcastle Post reporter!

So, that means there will be a response from the guy named David Prescott in this Newcastle Post?!

The head coach of the Arsenal U19 youth team rummaged in the newspaper, and the anger in his heart also rose sharply, the dignified Arsenal youth team, his own team, was actually used to make a public bet, which is simply a great humiliation!

Finally, Steve Bond stopped flipping through the paper, and his gaze was fixed on the page, which was the column of the journalist named David Prescott, and the headline of the column in bold red letters stood out.

That is, David Prescott's response to Yang Fan's bet battle.

'Leave Rigber or no longer be a journalist'!

A title that looks quite proud!
