Kevin Keegan likes to wear suits.

Keegan wears a white short-sleeved shirt on the training ground during the hot summer months, and he hasn't changed his outfit for the past month.

Now Keegan has changed.

When he walked towards Zhen Shaolong, he was wearing a set of Newcastle United training shirts, and the following football pants were indispensable, and his novel dress attracted a lot of attention.

Keegan wanted to go off the court in person and point out Zhen Shaolong's head.

This is what he thought about.

One is that Zhen Shaolong's headers score very little, accounting for too small a proportion of total goals, and it is difficult to see on weekdays, Zhen Shaolong will train his heading ability.

This shows that the level of heading is not high.

The second point is that Keegan is confident in his headers.

As Keegan said, he is a very good goalscorer, he became famous at Liverpool back then, helped Liverpool in five years, scored more than 100 goals, and was named the top scorer in England many times.

Since then, Keegan's level has been improving.

He was named Europe's best player for his outstanding goal statistics and was voted Europe's best athlete (European Footballer of the Year) for two years in a row.

That's Keegan's self-confidence.

The outside world's evaluation of him is also, "Flexible and fickle, excellent physical strength, superb skills, strong breakthrough ability, excellent shooting skills, able to open the bow left and right, and the header is a must." ”

This shows Keegan's confidence in the header.

Even though he is now over 50 years old, Keegan is still confident that there are few athletes who can head at a higher level than him.

He's just physically aging.

The technology is still there.

"So I think you should train your headers a lot, I just happen to know a lot about headers......" Keegan explained confidently.

Zhen Shaolong felt very strange in his heart, the new coach would actually point him to shoot?

Headers, but also shots!

He didn't say anything, and nodded with a good attitude, because the new coach is kind!

And then it began.

Keegan brought in No.1 goalkeeper Givens and found the man to help pass the ball - Danny Guthrie.

Danny Guthrie is only 20 years old, younger than Zhen Shaolong, a new generation of stars in England who seems to be unrecognised, having been loaned to Bolton Wanderers by Liverpool last season and traded to Newcastle United immediately upon his return.

Newcastle United paid £2.5 million for it.

Danny Guthrie is a newcomer to the team, and the new coach and the newcomer will always get along better, because they are both new to the team, even if Guthrie's transfer has nothing to do with Keegan, Keegan also feels more intimate with him.

But Keegan soon regretted it.

Zhen Shaolong's fame is undoubtedly very great, and the newcomers in the team will also pay attention to him frequently, Guthrie has always wanted to know Zhen Shaolong, but he has no contact in training, and he doesn't know how to get to know him.

Now's your chance.

Guthrie was very enthusiastic, he took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Zhen Shaolong, acting like a little fan, with a warm look, as if he wanted to be recognized.

"This kid won't ask for an autograph, will he?"

Keegan whispered, he understood better how famous Zhen Shaolong was, and he could make his teammates of the same age willing to become fans.

Guthrie heard his work, and his spirit was ready to perform, "Don't worry, Zhen Shaolong...... No, Brother Zhen, no, brother, I must decide to perform well. ”

"Just call me Zhen."

Zhen Shaolong was a little embarrassed.

Contrary to Guthrie's enthusiasm, Jiwen's face was dark and scary, and he really didn't want to cooperate with Zhen Shaolong to do header training.

Isn't this a search for sin?

He had enough of it last season, and the experience of comparing abuse again and again made him want to stand still.

Keegan didn't know Ji Wen's state of mind, he asked Ji Wen to stand close to the goal line, and couldn't continue to step forward, and then let Zhen Shaolong stand on the small penalty area line.

"That's it, it's time to get started."

Guthrie kicked up from a distance, the force of the first kick was a little small, Zhen Shaolong ran two steps completely before he successfully shook his head to attack the goal, and the football turned in a direction and went straight to the far corner.

in.

The second time Guthrie played well, the football landed on the top of his head, and Zhen Shaolong easily pushed a near corner.

in.

For the third ball, Guthrie kicked hard, Zhen Shaolong pushed back two steps, and could only think of the top of the ball as a near corner, but the ball that flew in against the post still made Jiwen unable to pounce.

"That's not going to work!"

Keegan realized that he had miscalculated.

Zhen Shaolong's header is not bad, and it can even be described as 'relatively good'.

That's too bad!

If this guy's header is also good, what does he mean by pointing out?

No way!

"Step back a bit, the small penalty line is still too close!" Keegan shouted.

Zhen Shaolong stepped back two or three meters.

At this distance, it is more difficult to score a header, because it is difficult to hit the force, and no matter how tricky the angle is, the goalkeeper has reaction time, and it is difficult to score the ball.

Zhen Shaolong simply changed his action - with his back to the goal.

In the effect of "Archery", shooting with your feet other than your feet and facing away from the goal can have twice the "Calibration" bonus, and stacking them in pairs is a quadruple effect.

The radius of the effect of "Calibration" is one meter.

Four times, four meters.

In terms of this action header, it is not an empty phrase to point to where to hit.

Next, Zhen Shaolong continued to head the ball, he sent all the balls to the dead corner, so that even if Jiwen pounced on the ball, he was in a very bad mood, because when he pounced on a ball, it meant that he had completed a difficult save, and he would definitely have to lie down and eat ashes.

"This won't work!"

This sentence was said by Jiwen, he really couldn't stand it, "Mr. Keegan, if you are looking for a goalkeeper to train with Zhen, I recommend Harper, he is a very good goalkeeper!" ”

"I think I need to rest......"

Givens simply left.

Keegan was a little embarrassed for a moment, and he realized how much sacrifice Jiwen had made, and then he also reacted that Zhen Shaolong's header didn't need to be pointed at all.

"This guy's header is too accurate!"

"It's better than kicking!"

The development of things was very unexpected, and Keegan was also a little embarrassed in his heart, because he said that he wanted to point out Zhen Shaolong, but he couldn't say the words to instruct, and finally he coughed lightly and said, "Zhen! Your header is good, but if you want to score a header, you have to not only be on the head, but also find chances. You need to increase your workouts. ”

"I've heard that there are a lot of people who can grow tall over the age of 20......"

"Ahem."

"That's it!"

Keegan walked away after speaking, he pretended to be calm, in fact, he wanted to go faster, he felt too embarrassed in his heart.

Zhen Shaolong and Guthrie glanced at each other and asked suspiciously, "Do you know what Mr. Keegan is here for?" Do you want to tell me the secret to growing taller? But I'm already the height of a male god, and I don't want to continue to grow tall! ”

"Probably menopause!"

Guthrie guessed, and then changed the subject, "Zhen, can you send me a few autographs, my girlfriend is also your fan!" She adores you! ”

"No problem!"

Zhen Shaolong smiled kindly.

————

Keegan was so depressed, he wanted to use his strength to 'subdue' Zhen Shaolong, hoping that the other party could see his ability, but he had no chance to play at all.

No.

He didn't dare to play at all!

That would be humiliating!

"This guy is so perverted, no wonder everyone else likes to revolve around him......"

Keegan kind of understood.

After finding that the effect of 'subjugation' was not good, Keegan also immediately changed his thinking, and the head coach said that the results are important, and if he can lead the team to achieve good results, his prestige will become higher and higher.

"But...... When will he be able to surpass Zhen Shaolong? ”

If you rely on Zhen Shaolong's performance to win the next game, it is impossible for the prestige to surpass Zhen Shaolong.

Don't use Zhen Shaolong?

Keegan didn't want to step down so early, he knew Newcastle fans too well and supported Zhen Shaolong.

Even if he is Newcastle United's 'legendary star' and 'legendary coach', but the legend seems to have passed after all, Zhen Shaolong is the current legend of Newcastle United, and the two are not comparable at all.

Keegan is certain that if the outside world maintains that he and Zhen Shaolong have conflicts, the club's senior management will be dissatisfied, Newcastle fans will be dissatisfied, and the team will also be very dissatisfied.

Nature.

There is also a lot of criticism in the media.

That's the reality.

Keegan must accept this reality, he can only put 'the prestige of the team beyond Zhen Shaolong' and put it on the 'long-term goal', and it is important to make the results improve in the short term.

The next day was a critical time.

The UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony was officially held.

After a series of processes, the grouping was decided and Newcastle United were placed in Group C, along with Barcelona, Inter Milan and Basel.

This is the unquestionable group of death.

The outside media reports are all around Group C, and there is no group competition that will be more fierce than Group C, but it is normal for Newcastle United to be among them.

The grouping rules of the UEFA Champions League are to divide the 32 teams into four tiers according to the number of UEFA points, and each grade has eight teams.

Each group is made up of teams from four brackets.

UEFA points are divided into the club's European points, as well as the league points bonus, Newcastle United's European results can be ignored, there are no points at all, and the club's points are almost equal to the Premier League points.

With fewer points, Newcastle United were placed in Pot 3.

No matter what group Newcastle United are in, there will be teams in Pot 1 and Pot 2, with Barcelona in the first tier of Group C, Inter Milan in the second tier and Basel in the fourth tier.

Newcastle United are not considered to be a top team, but as last season's Premier League champions, they are definitely competitive with other third-tier teams.

Group C equals three strong teams: Barcelona, Inter Milan and Newcastle United.

One of them will be eliminated.

It's brutal.

————

Newcastle United held a press conference on the same day, and Zhen Shaolong, who returned to Newcastle United, also appeared in the media for the first time.

Head coach Keegan was very low-key in his interview, "No matter which group we are in, it will be the group of death, this has been analysed. ”

'We're new to the Champions League, we have very little experience, the only thing we have to do is play every game.

"The experience of competing is also very important to us."

Compared with.

Zhen Shaolong really couldn't keep a low profile, and under the restrictions of the effect of "Real", he didn't want to answer the question at all, but he was forced to talk casually.

"Alas......"

A long sigh begins.

"I think the group of death is interesting."

"Yes."

"I still remember the Olympics against Argentina, I didn't expect to meet Messi again so soon, he is a very good footballer and I am looking forward to the game against Barcelona......"

Many reporters who knew the game burst out laughing.
