The boiling reports of the outside media have increased a lot of discussion within Newcastle United.

In the interval between training, the players also start talking about the results of the season, the Premier League is one thing, the FA Cup is the same.

Most of his team-mates are optimistic about the FA Cup.

The honour of the FA Cup is still more important, especially for those English players, who grew up in the English football environment, and they will also have a certain vision of the FA Cup, and feel that it is a great honour.

Players outside of England don't get it.

Zhen Shaolong didn't understand it at all.

FA Cup?

It's just a cup competition, and it's not much different from Germany's German Cup, where the winner qualifies for European competitions, but Newcastle United is highly ranked in the league and will definitely qualify for the Champions League next season, and the FA Cup is a bit of a chicken rib.

In addition, the prize money of the FA Cup is also very small.

Even if they win the FA Cup, the club will not get much bonus, and how much it will be distributed to a single player depends entirely on the conscience of the club, and if the conscience is not good, there will be no penny.

The so-called "Premier League, FA Cup" double champion, in his opinion, is no different from a single league championship, so he doesn't care much about the FA Cup.

Of course.

If you can fight for it, you still have to fight for it, after all, it is a championship, and you can also get a medal.

Recently, Zhen Shaolong has a lot to do, and the two major events are signing new sponsorships and cooperating with domestic media reporters to shoot short films.

Needless to say, signing a new sponsorship is underway.

The filming of the short film with reporters is to prepare for the upcoming Olympic Games in the capital, which means that we are looking forward to the Olympic Games in the capital and welcome more domestic and foreign audiences to pay attention to the Olympic Games held in China.

Now Zhen Shaolong has been recognized as the first person in Chinese football, even if he is still very young, just about to reach his twenty-first birthday, but his performance is so crazy, no player in China can compare with him, as for the whole of Europe, the world, no one dares to say that his performance is better.

The performance of madness brings crazy fame and crazy influence.

When the Capital Olympics were about to open, he became an important sports guest and participant, and he was invited to become the image ambassador of the Capital Olympics.

Of course.

It's nothing.

Many well-known athletes have become ambassadors of the Capital Olympics.

He's just one of them.

In addition, Zhen Shaolong was also invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and there will be a one-minute solo appearance, and the director's arrangement is to let him appear with the football, and he will use handsome movements to kick the football out and lead to the next stage program.

A minute of appearance footage is already quite remarkable.

It was the opening ceremony of the Capital Olympics, and every detail of the scene was related to China's image to the outside world, and it was enough to see Zhen Shaolong's influence in the country, and what he had to do was also very unusual, without any external assistance, to accurately hit the ball 20 meters away from the fixed target.

Theoretically, he had two chances.

The first time a mistake is allowed, the electronics will immediately follow, creating an atmosphere that makes it seem like he is deliberately 'kicking in that direction'.

This is a means of 'making up for mistakes'.

But in any case, it must be the best success, and the relevant person in charge of the Olympic Games talked about this issue face-to-face when he had a video call with Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong said very surely, "No problem, I'm sure I can do it!" ”

That's how it settled.

Zhen Shaolong's performance is too good and too influential, and he has become the 'spokesperson' of domestic football.

When foreign fans talk about Chinese football, the first thing that comes to mind is Zhen Shaolong, and many people can't help but give a thumbs up, as Zhen Shaolong's performance gets better and better, his popularity is getting higher and higher, and the world's influence has even caught up with Yao Ming.

This is what performance brings.

Yao Ming is a world-class basketball star, and he can be said to be the first person in Chinese basketball, but the scope has expanded to the entire NBA, and there are many stars who perform as well as Yao Ming, or better than him.

Zhen Shaolong is different.

Zhen Shaolong is already considered the first person in Chinese football, and even if the scope is expanded to the whole world, he is still one of the best.

One of them, or modest.

In terms of performance this season, he is the best player in the world, and his goal numbers have shocked the whole of Europe and the world.

Football is the world's number one sport, China's football strength is a bit bleak, it was originally excluded from the Olympic Games, but the opening ceremony did not have the factor of football, as if something was missing, Zhen Shaolong had such a performance and influence, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games decided to add him a shot.

This shot is also risky.

If Zhen Shaolong can't kick the ball to the exact position in public, it will definitely affect the overall effect, which is enough to see the affirmation and attention that Zhen Shaolong has received.

Zhen Shaolong is indeed a little stressed.

The difficulty of that shot is nothing, in normal times, it is difficult to make a mistake if you kick dozens of times in a row, but when it is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, at least under the gaze of hundreds of millions of spectators, I tremble nervously when I think about it.

He's looking forward to it too.

That's the Capital Olympics!

————

Zhen Shaolong is starting to look forward to the Olympics, but the time is still a little early.

The most important thing at the moment is to play well at the club and try to help the team win the league title.

He's looking forward to it too.

The glory of football is the championship.

He has only won the title once since entering the professional league, the German Cup, and now, a top-flight title is just around the corner.

He had to work hard.

From the end of March to the beginning of April, Newcastle United played two games in a row, the first of which was against Reading, where Zhen scored two goals to help the team beat Reading 3-1.

The other was away to Portsmouth.

Portsmouth are also Newcastle United's opponents in the FA Cup semi-finals, and the game can be described as a preview of the FA Cup semi-finals, and the process is still very attractive.

Many media outlets and fans are following the game.

From the outside world's point of view, there should be no suspense for Newcastle United to win, and Portsmouth's results are also good, but compared with the first place in the league, it is too far behind.

Newcastle United has recently recovered the strength of the squad, Smith, Milner and other injured players have returned to the team, and the performance is good after resuming play, but the back line is still affected, the main fullback Karl and the main goalkeeper Given, are still in the process of recuperating from injuries, they are difficult to play for the team this season, making Newcastle United's defense a little unstable, but it is still difficult for Portsmouth to take advantage of this, because their squad strength is average, and there is no too strong midfield.

The same goes for competitions.

As expected by the outside media, Newcastle United also showed strong strength away from home, and in the tenth minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong took advantage of the first cold shot from the periphery to break through the Portsmouth gate.

After that, it was a little awkward.

Newcastle's successive attacks failed to create a threat because they had a very bad player --

Michael Owen.

The most attention-grabbing thing on the field has become Owen, since the beginning of the game, Owen has been constantly closing his eyes, and the performance of consecutive missed opportunities can be said to be a mess, players and the media have criticized, and his teammates on the field are very dissatisfied with Owen --

"He's like this again!"

"What the hell is Michael doing? Could it be that what kind of ceremony is held? But he can't always do that, can he? ”

"I know! Michael's imitation of Zhen, but he has to, accept one thing - he is not Zhen! It doesn't make any sense for him to do that! ”

“……”

In the midst of the incomprehension of the outside world and his teammates, Owen continued to do what he did, he thought he was right, and kept working hard to find his form and luck sooner.

But......

He failed!

Sam Allardyce tolerated Owen's half-time time, because Newcastle United had been leading all the time, and he did not rush to choose to make substitutions, Owen did not show anything in the half, and Newcastle United seemed to be missing a man on the field.

At halftime, Allardyce did not shy away from suspicion at all, and called Viduka in public, "Mark, ready to play!" The meaning of the words could not be more obvious, which is to replace Owen from the game.

Owen's eyes were full of reluctance and loss.

After a half-game, he couldn't find the feeling he had when he played against Tottenham, and the continuous closing of his eyes even affected his form, and when he decided to perform seriously, he was unable to take his chances and made two low-level mistakes.

Owen knew that it was his psychology that was affected, he didn't focus on the game, and most of the time he wanted to find a feeling, which naturally affected his normal performance.

Again, he wondered, "Am I really wrong?" ”

"It's like Zhen Shaolong said, it's completely useless to do that? Maybe the last one was just an illusion? ”

"But I definitely can't do that, if I do it again in the next game, maybe I won't have a chance to play, and even the fans won't support me!"

Owen felt a little sad.

What's even more sad is that no one in the team sympathizes with him, most of his teammates don't understand, only Zhen Shaolong understands a little, and he takes the time to advise, "Michael, you can't do that all the time, it's useless!" ”

"As long as you perform seriously, you don't have to chase any luck at all!"

"You're already good!"

These are Zhen Shaolong's heartfelt words.

In the absence of systematic skills, he is certainly incomparable to Owen, who cannot be said to be the first in the world in terms of technology, but he is also the top one.

As long as you put in 100 per cent effort, Irving's performance will not be bad.

Owen was a little moved.

When the whole team didn't understand, only Zhen Shaolong still took the initiative to comfort him.

The icing on the cake is easy.

Worse...... Ahem, it's hard to send charcoal in the snow!

Owen didn't know such an esoteric idiom, but this was the feeling in his heart, and he said to Zhen Shaolong with sincerity in his eyes, "Thank you!" ”

————

Second.

After David Duka came on for Owen, Newcastle United's performance returned to normal, and they attacked around Portsmouth in the half, and the successive attacks made Portsmouth only passively defensive.

The final score was 3-0.

Newcastle United scored two more goals, one for Viduka and the other for Smith, who had the assist forward, to win the game by a strong scoreline.

This victory is crucial.

In the meantime, Manchester United drew 2-2 at Middlesbrough and the gap on Newcastle United was stretched to four points.

Four points are not something that can be caught up in one game.

Newcastle United also felt relaxed after the game, but the club did not have a holiday, because the game they were about to face was directly related to the league title race.

This one was against Liverpool.

Newcastle United's away game against Liverpool is certainly a tough game, but it is a bit of a fuss to say that it rises to the level of league contention, and the reason why the outside world thinks so is also related to another game that is being played at the same time.

It was a game between Manchester United and Chelsea.

At the same time as Newcastle United take on Liverpool, United will also play Chelsea, and both games are full of suspense, if Newcastle United manage to get three points and United lose, they will pull down seven points, and given that there are only four league games to play, United have little chance of equalising again.

This one can even be said to be able to directly determine the ownership of the Premier League title.

When a league game can decide the title, it will naturally receive huge attention, and the outside media have analyzed the two games, Manchester United and Chelsea games aside, and Newcastle United beat Liverpool away is not easy.

The strength of the two sides is still on the one hand, and the referee of the game has also attracted a lot of attention.

The referee's name is Webb.

Webber is a very famous referee in the Premier League, the reason why he is famous has nothing to do with his rich experience in law enforcement, and his personal image is not outstanding.

'Manchester United's royal referee', just listen to the name given by the fans, you know the impression that Webber enforces the law.

He is partial to Manchester United.

This partiality manifests itself in penalties.

In the game of Manchester United, Webber often awarded a penalty to Manchester United, and it is difficult for opponents to get a penalty, and a penalty can have a direct impact on the outcome of the game.

Regardless of whether Webber was genuinely partial or only happened to make a few decisions in United's favour, the impression left was that he was an absolute supporter of United.

The match between Liverpool and Newcastle United does not seem to have anything to do with Manchester United, but considering that Manchester United and Newcastle United are competing for the league title, there are many voices in the media that Webber may be biased in favor of Liverpool.

Most of this kind of reporting comes from small media, but there are also big media reports.

For example, The Guardian.

When Liverpool and Newcastle United played each other, the Guardian had no doubt that Newcastle United were backing Newcastle United, and an analysis appeared on their homepage website pointing out the possible downsides of the game, "Webb, it's a Manchester United man! ”

"It sounds strange that a Manchester United man could favour Liverpool, but only if Liverpool wins, Manchester United will have a chance to win the league title!"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend......"

"At least, temporarily, ......"

The Guardian's analysis and report were reprinted and followed by many small and medium-sized media, who wanted to put pressure on Webb, who was enforcing the game, in this way.

This probably works a little.

Just like the 'big mouth' Mourinho, when he coached Chelsea, he often put pressure on the referee, they hope that the referee will at least remain neutral, and the law enforcement will not be biased in favor of Liverpool, especially if Liverpool is still playing at home, it is very possible for the referee to be 'biased', and putting pressure on the referee will help alleviate this situation.

But......

Zhen Shaolong was a little sympathetic to Weber.

The media hype not only put pressure on Weber, but also made Webb very unlucky to activate the mission.

"Hint: A new system task is triggered.

It is believed that there may be unfair enforcement by the referees during the game.

In order to ensure the fairness of the sports competition, the host needs to make the football and the referee's body have three close contact in the upcoming game.

(Note: During the mission, the host gains the special skill "Precision Guidance.")

Precision Guidance: Can be used five times.

The next time you kick a soccer ball is touched by someone else, you can choose to activate the skill as long as you kick it with enough force, and the soccer ball will be corrected towards the specific target. ）

Rewards: Stamina index increased by one point, appearance evaluation increased by one point. ”
