After leaving the "Ginkgo Airport", the "Mengyao" did not fly eastward and returned to Los Angeles across the Pacific Ocean, but turned to the northwest and flew directly to Europe.

As the owner of Newcastle Club, Xiao Feng is unable to come to St James's Stadium to watch games often due to his own reasons, and now he naturally wants to show up at this time.

The Premier League kicks off on 27 August, with defending champions Newcastle United hosting promoted Burnley.

This past summer, Newcastle United, as Europe's new treble winners, did not participate in too many commercial activities, but instead got plenty of time to recuperate.

Even though the entire Newcastle United squad flew to Rio on 21 August to watch the Olympic men's basketball final played by team owner Xiao Feng, they were still fit enough to face the Premier League.

In the end, Newcastle United won 3-0 at home to Burnley to get the new season off to a flying start.

Most notably, Becky's 17-year-old eldest son, Brooklyn, became Newcastle United's starting centre-back, and he and starting midfielder Li Yan became the youngest players of the defending champions. In fact, since Brooklyn joined Newcastle United's youth team the year before, he has been the focus of media attention, and everyone is talking about his time in the England national team.

In the 2016-2017 Premier League opener, Brooklyn showed a calmness and composure that was very different from his age, both in terms of his bounce, anticipation and defensive playmaking skills. The reason why Newcastle United was able to keep a clean sheet against Burnley was that in addition to the disparity in strength between the two sides, Brooklyn's play was also quite crucial.

Judging from this game alone, Brooklyn, known as the eldest son of Little Becky, did not just rely on his father's aura to enter the starting team of Newcastle United, but relied on his own strength to gain a firm foothold in the Treble winning team.

Quite a few English media are already chanting. The defensive leader of the England national team for the next 20 years has been born, and the English will no longer have to worry about central defenders.

Now, countless English media and fans have more hope for the future of Romeo and Cruz, after all, they have both had excellent performances in Newcastle United's youth and youth teams. To the delight of the Englishmen, Cruz played as a striker and Romeo as a midfielder. This means that the three Beckham brothers can form the central axis of the England national team in the future, which is exciting to think about.

In addition to Brooklyn's debut, another fresh face of Newcastle United has also attracted a lot of attention from fans and the media, he is Li Yan, who made his debut.

Born in April 1998, Li Yan is less than a year older than Brooklyn, and at the age of 19, he became the youngest player to make his Premier League debut, setting a new record.

Li Yan has attracted media attention since he entered the Newcastle United training camp because he is the cousin of the team's owner Xiao Feng. This summer, the youth team of Newcastle United led by Li Yan and Brooklyn won the FA Youth Cup in England. There is already talk about a timetable for him to join Newcastle United's first-team squad.

What everyone didn't expect was that Li Yan's position in the first team was not the center back that the youth team was accustomed to, but became a midfielder. In the opening match, Li Yan relied on his undead physical strength and accurate long pass and set-piece kung fu, which made people shine! Li Yan scored his first goal in the Premier League with a free kick in front of the court in the game, and won a full house.

For Newcastle United fans, the easy win in the opener was not unexpected, and they were even happier with the excellent performance of the two youngsters. After all, they will be the future of Newcastle United.

After the first six rounds, Newcastle United have an excellent record of five wins and one draw. From the start of the season, the defending champions showed strong momentum. Among them, the defensive barrier formed by Brooklyn and Li Yan performed eye-catchingly, only conceding 4 goals, and the two also scored 2 and 3 goals respectively, which is amazing.

When Xiao Feng's family arrived in Newcastle, it was already the afternoon of October 3. Newcastle United will play their first home game of the Champions League group stage at St James' tomorrow night against Greece's Panasnakos.

In a Champions League group stage in midweek last week, defending champions Newcastle United travelled to Napoli, Italy, with a 2-0 scoreline showing that the defending champions are in good emergency form.

This time, the owner came to watch the team's Champions League match at home, and Newcastle United was also full of enthusiasm. They all want to compete to show their best in front of the boss.

Therefore, at the press conference the day before the game, head coach Alan Shearer made it clear that he wanted to pay tribute to his boss with a victory!

The current Xiao Feng is not simply the owner of Newcastle United, he now has one more halo on his head, that is, a basketball superstar.

He only joined the NBA when he was nearly 30 years old, but he won three MVPs last season with an average triple-double per game, creating the best record in NBA history and sweeping the championship. A series of records have allowed Xiao Feng to win the universal respect of the sports world in a short period of time, and in the field of competitive sports, the strong are always respected.

What surprised everyone even more was that Xiao Feng almost single-handedly led the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the Dream Team and win the men's basketball gold medal in the Rio Olympic year!

Xiao Feng did not come to St James's Park to watch Newcastle United play all year round, so the whole team naturally wanted to show his face in front of the boss.

In the face of Alan Shearer's strong self-confidence, the Greek guests seem to be a little unconfident, after all, Panathinaikos is only the fourth team in the last 32 of the Champions League, and is widely regarded as a fish belly by the outside world. In the previous round, they lost at home to Shakhtar Donetsk and are in a desperate situation to qualify from the group.

Therefore, the Panathinaikos team are not sure about this visit to St. James' Park, after all, the defending champions have not tasted defeat since the start of the season.

…………

At 6pm London time on October 4, the 50,000-capacity St James's Park stadium was packed, with fans in black and white Magpie jerseys taking up most of the stadium and fewer than 1,000 Greek fans cheering on the visitors in one corner of the stadium.

In those years, the Greek economy was in a recession. The small number of fans who can afford to go abroad to play with the team, coupled with the Panathinaikos' mediocre record, has made the enthusiasm of the fans plummet.

However, for Newcastle United fans, the old St James' Park is no longer enough, especially after the team won the treble, which made Newcastle's football market even more popular.

OK. Now the construction of the new stadium, jointly invested by the 'Jinghu Group' and the 'Qianxin Group', has completed the main works, and the team can play in the modern 80,000-seat stadium next season.

Since Xiao Feng took charge of Newcastle United, not only has the team's results skyrocketed, the price of ticket tickets has dropped, but also he will be able to enjoy the game in a more comfortable environment, so the Magpies fans in the north of England are more and more supportive of Xiao Feng.

Knowing that Xiao Feng will bring his family to watch the game at St James's Stadium today, the Newcastle United fan group specially arranged a large portrait of Xiao Feng in the stands opposite the VIP box.

Therefore, the first time Xiao Feng approached the box, he saw a huge portrait on the opposite side. Quite impressed!

Before the game started, the on-site director also gave the camera to the No. 1 box very interestingly, and the Sky Sports commentator in charge of the commentary also introduced Xiao Feng and Xiaobei's family to the fans watching the broadcast.

For the majority of England fans, Xiao Feng is not just the owner of Newcastle FC, he is also a super basketball superstar and has a large number of fans in England. Therefore, this Champions League game also attracted many basketball fans to watch, which was quite dramatic.

…………

In the singing of the fans in the stadium. Newcastle United, playing at home, were the first to launch a tidal wave of attacks on the visitors, and soon took the initiative on the field.

After winning the Triple Crown. Newcastle United not only did not lose too many main players, but also brought in some quality players because of Xiao Feng's deep pockets, so the team's performance did not decline.

Before the start of the Premier League, Newcastle United won the UEFA Super Cup and the England Charity Shield, which is considered a 'five-time crown', if they can win the Club World Cup at the end of the year. It's comparable to last year's Barcelona.

With the start of the Premier League, Newcastle United are not only unbeaten in the league and leading the table, but have also won the first game of the Champions League group stage, and Newcastle are now in a very good stage from any point of view.

Facing a wave of home attack. Panathinaikos can only shrink the defense, struggle, and then launch a counterattack, which is also one of the usual tactics of the Greek team.

However, due to the huge gap between the overall strength of the team and the individual abilities of the players, the away team's counterattack is often terminated in the midfield, and Li Yan will soon use his long pass to launch a counterattack after the break, making the opponent scramble.

"Li Yan's performance is very good, it reminds me of Roy!" When one of Newcastle United's attacks was destroyed out of the bottom line, Xiaobei turned to Xiao Feng and said.

Roy is none other than his Manchester United comrade-in-arms and captain Roy Keane, one of the best defenders in Premier League history. On the pitch, Roy Keane's fierce defence, all-round attack and never-say-die fighting spirit have become the soul of that treble-winning team. Don't look at Becky as the most famous player at Manchester United at that time, but from the perspective of his role on the field, Keane is more important than Becky.

Now, Li Yan's performance can be recognized by Xiaobei, which shows that he is indeed performing well.

In fact, Xiao Feng also watched a lot of Li Yan's games through TV during this time, because the strong body and abundant physical strength brought to him by cultivating the 'Qi Induction Technique' gave him the basic qualities to become an iron waist. Li Yan's game reading ability is not bad, and his long pass has the style of Xiaobei back then, and his performance on the field is getting better and better.

Now, Newcastle United's front-court free kicks and corner kicks are basically covered by Li Yan, and he also lives up to expectations, scoring two goals through direct free kicks and contributing 3 assists!

In the best team officially selected by the Premier League in September, Li Yan and Brooklyn occupied the positions of midfielder and central defender respectively, and the star journey is open!

"Brooklyn's performance is not bad, it reminds me of Nesta!" Xiao Feng pointed to Brooklyn, who was squeezing in the penalty area to fight for a header, and said with a smile: "His header ability is much better than David!"

Unlike many of England's traditional defenders who tackle ferociously, Brooklyn's defensive style of play, which has learned from continental defenders, is quite elegant, with a bit of Nesta's heritage. Of course, if the opponent thinks that such a Brooklyn is easy to deal with, it is a big mistake, and the height of 188cm and the strong body give him the advantage in physical confrontation.

Brooklyn have not only started all of their last seven games, but have also scored twice with headers from corners, and his header has been an important means for Newcastle United to break the deadlock.

Just when Xiao Feng and Xiaobei were still chatting, Li Yan took a corner kick, Brooklyn jumped high in the crowd, the clean lion shook his head, and the ball went into the net!

The two friends, who have been training and living together for almost two years, have put on a good show that the youth team often does, and now this is the third time this season!

The goal was like igniting a powder keg, and the entire St. James Park stadium suddenly boiled, with all kinds of cheers, applause and stomping, making everyone feel like they were in the airport!

Xiao Feng and Xiaobei couldn't help but stand up, high-fived each other, and applauded to congratulate the two children!

Brooklyn and Li Yan, who were on the field, hugged each other, and then ran hand in hand to the stands where Box 1 was located, waving to Xiao Feng and Xiaobei!

"Obviously, Li Yan's assist and Brooklyn's header have become an important means for Newcastle United to break down the dense defense!" The TV commentator also applauded the two brothers, and continued: "After they scored a goal, they came to the main stand to greet Xiao Feng and Xiaobei who were watching the game, and the two young players are smashing all kinds of rumors with their excellent performances!"

In the beginning, when Li Yan and Brooklyn were transferred to the first team by Alan Shearer, some media outlets thought they had climbed up by nepotism. However, the two youngsters slapped these media in the face with their outstanding performances, which also made the atmosphere within Newcastle United more harmonious.

Now, Li Yan and Brooklyn have become the core of Newcastle United's backline, and they have shown amazing ability at both ends of the pitch.

Soon after the start of the second half, Li Yan used a direct free kick from the edge of the penalty area to expand the score, and finally helped the team win with a score of 3:0!

Newcastle United's outstanding performance is very face-saving for Xiao Feng, so Xiao Feng also entered the dressing room to congratulate the players, and was interviewed by the English media at the stadium.

Xiao Feng's family only stayed in England for a short time, and the day after the race, the 'Meng Yao' left for Los Angeles, and the next thing that awaits Xiao Feng will be a long season! )

PS: PS: Have a great weekend folks!
