Chapter 390: Torres Is Better Than Zhen Shaolong?

On the way back to Newcastle, Zhen Shaolong and Flora were chatting about Irene.

Zhen Shaolong won't talk about Erin, because Erin has made too deep an impression on him, but Flora seems to want to talk about Erin, and keeps explaining seriously, "Erin is indeed a little cold, but she is like this to men, and she has almost no male friends." ”

"Don't be angry, don't care."

"Probably because you're mine...... friends, that's why she is deliberately distant, she is a person who is very good at thinking about her friends. ”

Zhen Shaolong pulled the corners of his mouth and said secretly, that is, this sentence is true.

Flora also talked about the bet, "Mr. Ecclestone's request is that you give Erin a satisfactory gift for his birthday next year. ”

"You don't have to take this matter to heart, when the time comes, no matter what you send, I'll just let Erin say that I'm satisfied."

Flora smiled alongly.

Zhen Shaolong pursed the corners of his mouth and stared at Flora carefully, he found that this little girl was too innocent, much worse than Erin.

Flora was a little shy to look at, but she still mustered up the courage to look at him.

The air suddenly became scorching.

Zhen Shaolong found that the small mouth in front of him was very tempting, and he couldn't help but lower his body and wanted to peck lightly, but he was stopped by Flora's small hand, and when he was surprised, he saw Flora pointing ahead carefully.

"Driver?"

Flora hurriedly whispered, "I'm not refusing...... Actually, I ...... But, Zhen, can you promise me one thing. ”

"What?"

"If my father asked, you said to go see Erin, don't talk about your relationship with me." Flora said hesitantly.

"Why?"

"Because...... Because, that's what my father and I said, and he didn't approve of me falling in love too early. ”

"Mr. Ashley is too conservative too!" Zhen Shaolong complained.

Flora nodded approvingly.

"Okay." Zhen Shaolong agreed to the little girl's request, "But I don't have to say anything, if anyone asks, I just go with my friends and go for a test drive of the car." ”

"It was a good experience."

"It's a fact."

Flora stared at him and smiled and nodded.

————

It was a really good experience.

Zhen Shaolong's most impressive thing is not the racing car, nor the cute Flora, nor the inconsistent Erin, but the bet with Ecclestone.

Zhen Shaolong didn't want to put the old man's bet in the first place, especially in front of the two beautiful girls, but the sports car that the world's top F1 team helped to make was indeed too tempting.

Cars!

A man's favorite!

The sports cars that the world's top F1 teams help to make will become something that men are fascinated by.

"That's a sports car!"

"That's in line with my status as the world's No. 1 striker and the world's No. 1 handsome guy!"

Zhen Shaolong thought expectantly.

By the time he started training the next day, he felt full of fighting spirit and had to work hard to play more minutes for the team, win more games and try to help the team win the league title with goals.

Zhen Shaolong felt a wave of blood soaring from the depths of his heart.

But......

At noon, the FA announced a small blow to his fighting spirit, they have been investigating what happened in the midfield in the game with Manchester City, and they have also come up with a final punishment plan -

Penalty.

Banned!

The fines are against Newcastle United and Manchester City FC, and you don't have to pay too much attention to the amount if you don't pay for it yourself.

The ban is for the player.

At that time, things were not very troublesome, but there were still moves in the process, and the provocative Richards paid the price for his impulsiveness, and he was banned by the FA for three rounds.

Zhen Shaolong stood on the front line, and was 'suspected' to do it with Richards, and was also punished by a one-round ban.

In addition, Barton was suspended for one round.

Zhen Shaolong's ban is still in the past, when he responded to Richards's actions, he was indeed suspected of doing something, the matter was not so big, and the ban for one round was just a symbolic punishment.

Patton was a bit 'wronged'.

Although he picked it up, the kick was certainly not intentional and no one believed that Barton would have deliberately kicked Eriksen, and he didn't have that kind of footwork if he wanted to.

The FA's punishment is understandable, just to appease Eriksen's 'wounded' heart a little.

Erikson is so miserable!

After being hit three times in a game, twice by an opposing player and once by his own player, about ten years later, he recalls the game and remembers it vividly.

The FA doesn't have much affection for Eriksen either, but the other side is the manager of a Premier League club after all, and giving the other side a 'bad boy' ban can also balance it out a little.

Zhen Shaolong was banned for the first time, and he felt very uncomfortable all over his body.

He was a little depressed.

Fortunately, he was only banned for one round, and the impact was not great, but he could not participate in the next game.

Newcastle United also did not appeal.

There haven't been any major matches lately, and the FA's punishment is not painful, and there is no point in appealing, as long as the player is punished for disciplinary problems, he will be banned for at least one round.

And then.

In the next round of the game against Everton, Zhen Shaolong will not be able to play.

Sam Allardyce is a little sure, the venue is St James' Park, the home game is always more certain, Everton is a difficult opponent to deal with, but Newcastle United is at home, and the winning rate is definitely higher than the opponent.

Allardyce was right, but when the game officially started and saw that the team was unable to score for a long time, he still 'missed' Zhen Shaolong a little, and he was also wary of his thoughts, "It can't be like this!" ”

"No team can rely on one player!"

"Zhen Shaolong has scored a lot of goals, but without Zhen Shaolong, Newcastle United is also a strong team!"

"The combination of Owen and Viduka is also good!"

'The squad is not inferior to Everton, it is playing at home, so there is no problem in winning the game.

Allardyce's continuous chanting seemed to have an effect, and his mood became much calmer.

But the game was not quiet.

In the 31st minute, Everton took the lead in scoring, and Australian striker Cahill, as if possessed by a god, kicked a volley from more than 20 meters away.

Cahill received a high pass from behind him and completed the shot, and the whole process was in one go, which can be said to be extremely exciting. Newcastle United don't think it's exciting, because they are the side that has been breached, and some are only depressed and helpless.

Many midfielders, and even the fans in the stands around them, were disappointed with the partnership of Owen and Viduka, "If Zhen had been here, we would have been ahead a long time ago!" ”

"yes!"

"Viduka doesn't matter, Owen's efficiency is too low!"

"Owen and Zhen Shaolong are too different!"

"I don't know what Allardyce thinks, Owen is not as good as Martins......"

“……”

If there is contrast, it will hurt.

If it weren't for Zhen Shaolong's crazy performance, Newcastle United fans would probably expect Owen to explode and help Newcastle United turn the situation around, but after the comparison, they were dissatisfied with Owen's performance.

Owen can't help it!

In fact, Owen's efficiency is not low, and when he plays the full game twice, he can also score an average goal, which is better than most forwards, but there is a Zhen Shaolong in the team who scores an average of goals in half a court......

How to compare?

Owen is also very helpless!

Now facing the game against Everton, Owen has been working hard, but the opponent's defense is also very tight, and it is difficult for him to find opportunities in front of him, and he is not as good as his partner Viduka.

"Maybe Viduka will be easier to score!"

Owen's idea became a reality.

In the 60th minute, Viduka burst out of the crowd and headed the ball into the back of goal with a set-piece chance to level the scores.

1 to 1.

It was also the last goal.

Newcastle United drew with Everton, and the result was acceptable, but Newcastle fans, who were a little used to Zhen Shaolong's goals, felt that the game was not interesting.

"If there was Zhen Shaolong, we would have won it a long time ago!"

Many Newcastle fans thought, "This kind of game is boring, next time Zhen Shaolong can't play, he won't come to watch the game at all, anyway, even if he wins, it's very hard......"

The fans' thoughts are unfair to the hard-working players, after all, football is a sport of eleven people, Zhen Shaolong scores more goals, and he can't win the game alone.

It's a little sad that head coach Sam Allardyce's thoughts are similar to those of the fans, "It's too difficult to play without Zhen Shaolong, Owen's efficiency is too poor, and it's not as good as Viduka'......"

"It's a good thing that he was banned for one round!"

"Zhen Shaolong will be able to represent the team in the next round, and at least the front line will not have to worry about it at that time."

————

Sam Allardyce had a good idea, but it wasn't easy to play against Reading a week later.

It was away.

Reading is a team fighting for relegation, but they are known as the 'strong team nemesis', often when they meet strong teams, they will perform very well, and when they meet weak teams, they are easy to lose, or even lose by a large score.

Maybe it's because of tactics, because of the heart.

When playing against strong teams, Reading will play very conservatively, and when playing against weak teams, because there is no disadvantage in strength, if you want to win, you must take the initiative to attack, and there may be loopholes in defense.

Newcastle United is undoubtedly a strong team.

Newcastle United, which has Zhen Shaolong, has been considered by the British media to be a team that is 'qualified to fight for the top four', and the Reading team is only fighting for relegation, and its strength is naturally at an absolute disadvantage.

So they're using a conservative strategy.

It's not that Newcastle United haven't faced conservative opponents before, but it's the first time they've met Reading to the extent that they have been conservative, and they have almost all retreated, and the middle line and the back line are not clear.

Zhen Shaolong is at the front, and occasionally finds that there is a midfielder next to him, and even a forward-guard player who assists the striker.

Of course, there are also defenders.

The Reading team's marking of him has reached the point of being airtight.

That's it.

The style of the Reading team is still very rough, hitting people at every turn, fighting hard, tackling, and stacking together in a row, Zhen Shaolong also feels very uncomfortable.

It's hard for him to get the ball.

Most of the time, he can only act as a meat shield to unleash 'warcry' and attract offensive firepower.

But......

The Reading team wants to do this, so it is a bit whimsical to completely prevent Zhen Shaolong from killing, because Zhen Shaolong already has teammates to cooperate with - Smith and Milner.

With the help of Smith and Milner, Zhen Shaolong still found an opportunity to activate "Must Kill", which is still very exciting...... Ass goal.

Of course.

He didn't mean to.

It was a crowded crowd in front of goal, he was so crowded that he almost hung on the opposition defender, and when he struggled hard, Milner's pass flew by, and he didn't have time to adjust, so he could barely get the ball in with his ass.

The goal was a bit funny, and many fans laughed out loud.

Zhen Shaolong feels very good, because the ass goal is part of the task of acquiring new skills, and the significance of scoring goals for him is much greater than normal, heroic, and chic goals.

"What do you know!"

"Lao Tzu scoring goals with his ass is art, it is to enhance strength! A bunch of uninformed hillbillies......"

Zhen Shaolong despised the mocking guy from the bottom of his heart.

The final match ended 1-1.

Zhen Shaolong's goal gave Newcastle United the lead, but Reading still relied on a 'sneak attack' to complete the goal.

After the game, Sam Allardyce exclaimed, "The defense is too bad!" ”

He told reporters, "We were negligent at the back, the opponent's goal should not have happened, we had a chance to get three points, but we had to pay for carelessness. ”

Allardyce was indeed dissatisfied.

Newcastle United's backfield and frontcourt are so different that with a sharp and luxurious lineup in the midfield, he doesn't dare to put on an offensive posture with strong teams.

'What would Newcastle become if there was another top-notch backline?'

Allardyce was a little wistful.

He thinks he should talk to Michael Ashley, but it's too early to bring in a sign because the team is about to face a tough challenge --

Home to Liverpool!

————

As one of the 'top four' of the Premier League, Liverpool seems to have the least presence, but those who know know know that Liverpool are not good opponents and it is very difficult to beat them.

Last season.

Last season.

Last season......

Liverpool has always had a serious problem: the forward line is weak, even if they continue to make forward reinforcements, but their forward line just can't play efficiently, and many times to win games, they have to rely on Steven Gerrard, the core of the midfield.

It's kind of sad.

Even in the period of 'weak forwards', Liverpool still relied on defence, relying on the so-called 'never-give-up red army spirit', beating opponents one by one, and beating the mighty AC Milan in the middle to win a Champions League trophy.

Now Liverpool has made up for the defects in the front line, and the Spanish 'golden boy' Torres has joined in, and their strength has suddenly become stronger, and Torres has entered Liverpool, which has also shown the high efficiency of the striker -

In the last ten league games, Torres has scored seven goals!

Ten rounds, seven balls!

There was also one game in which Torres did not play, which means that he scored seven goals in nine league games, and the spirits of Liverpool were lifted and the fans were in tears, and they finally had a world-class goalscorer.

Performance, can be expected!

Results, can be expected!

But it's still that sentence, no comparison, no harm, many Liverpool fans know that in May and June, there were reports everywhere that Zhen Shaolong 'might join' Liverpool, and they almost got Zhen Shaolong.

Now that Zhen Shaolong is at Newcastle United, it can be said that he is 'rampant'!

Ten rounds, sixteen goals!

One of them was banned, and he was more than twice as efficient as Torres!

Many Liverpool media did not want to accept this reality, and they began to build momentum before the game, publishing various analysis reports, believing that Torres was better than Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong scored more goals?

"It's just because he has more chances, Newcastle United's other strikers are too bad!"

"It's just because the Premier League team hasn't figured out a way to restrict Zhen Shaolong!"

"Liverpool have the best defence!"

"It's going to be different!"
