That day.

After the PARTY held at Owen's house, Zhen Shaolong drove back to Newcastle.

No.

It's Smith driving.

Smith shamelessly snatched the key, and then sat directly in the driver's seat on the grounds that he didn't drink at all to drive.

What else can Zhen Shaolong do?

He resisted the urge to beat Smith up, and watched with his eyes wide open, lest Smith spoil his beloved car.

Fortunately.

Nothing happened all the way.

Originally, the matter had passed, but I didn't expect that a video of Zhen Shaolong and Murphy playing on the Internet that night, the video was the content of the last set, Murphy held a club as the background throughout the whole process, watching Zhen Shaolong complete a shot to clear the table.

The Internet exploded --

"It turns out that Zhen Shaolong is so good at snooker! One shot clear! No matter what kind of ball, if you touch it, you can score! ”

"See Murphy's expression? It's like saying, 'I just want to play!' ’”

"Murphy must be in pain!"

"Zhen Shaolong is too powerful, it's just a good football game, and snooker can still win the championship!"

"Zhen Shaolong is omnipotent!"

“……”

Many people participated in the discussion, and people in the snooker community said that Zhen Shaolong would be invited to participate in charity competitions and invitational competitions in the future.

That's what hot spots are.

Zhen Shaolong's popularity is too hot, much more famous than any snooker athlete, if he can be invited to participate in the snooker competition, regardless of his level of performance, the competition will be regarded as a 'star show', which will definitely attract a large number of audiences, and the income of the event will skyrocket many times.

Zhen Shaolong also felt surprised.

He immediately asked a few friends who had uploaded it.

Owen invited a limited number of guests, adding up to thirty or forty people, some of whom are still Newcastle United teammates, and it is natural to know after careful inquiry that the person who uploaded the video is the new girlfriend of a young director, because it is just a girlfriend who has just dated, and no one else has seen it, and it is not even easy to dig the name.

And then there is no way.

This incident has no impact on Zhen Shaolong, and no brain-dead person will come to poach Zhen Shaolong to play snooker, because he is a famous football player, and the prospects in the football field are much stronger than snooker.

Zhen Shaolong continued to return to training.

Two days later.

The twelfth round of the English Premier League started, and Newcastle United ushered in the league with Fulham.

Fulham finished fourth from bottom in the league last season and almost relegated to the Championship, and after the horror of relegation, Fulham breathed a long sigh of relief and had to start strengthening their strength.

Head coach Roy Hodgson asked the club to step up reinforcements on all fronts.

With Niemi falling out of favor and Keller terminating his contract, Schwarzer's arrival stabilized the goalkeeper's ranks.

Ghana international Panteshir and loan-turned-regular Cario have both added to the competition at the back, while Iranian midfielder Taimorian and West Bromwich Albion midfielder Guerra have plenty of quality to play last season's eight goals and seven assists.

Up front, the addition of Everton international striker Andy Johnson and West Ham striker Zamora has also improved Fulham's forward quality.

Fulham's strength has improved a bit.

The media predicted that Fulham would be in the bottom half of the table, but there was not much danger of relegation.

The English league has been played in eleven rounds, and Fulham's results can only be said, with four wins and two draws and 14 points in the middle of the table, which is better than the team at the end, but the results are definitely not good, and Newcastle United, the Premier League champion and the Champions League group stage ahead of schedule, is not comparable to anything.

Even if Fulham is playing at home, it is still not favored by most people.

The game received very little attention.

Many people thought that Fulham would definitely lose and didn't care about the game at all, but the end result was unexpected - Fulham won!

2 to 1.

Fulham beat Newcastle United at home.

When the result of the game was confirmed, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, and many people found that Fulham performed really well, their defense was very tough, and the whole game was 90 minutes, just playing defensive counterattacks, using two counterattacks in the second half to score two goals.

Newcastle United played a good suppression, fully showing the style of a strong team, but there were not many tight defensive methods in the face of Fulham, and the draw was maintained until the 80th minute, Keegan couldn't bear it before letting Zhen Shaolong play, but the time was still too short, Zhen Shaolong was tightly defended by the opponent, as if the game was over before he got used to it.

The Newcastle United goal belonged to Michael Owen.

Owen did not perform well and took the only good chance, but one goal was still a little too little, and the team had to accept the bitter consequences of losing.

This is Newcastle United's second defeat this season, the last one was against Arsenal in the third round, when Zhen Shaolong had just returned to Newcastle United and was not involved in the game.

In the professional league, there is no way to lose.

No team can win all the time, and defeat can bring excitement, and head coach Keegan summed up his experience, he found that the team's defense is still too poor, and when the team has an absolute advantage, the backcourt players will follow suit.

For example, Smith.

Fulham's second goal was directly related to Smith's insertion, and it was only with a few people on the wing that the opposition striker seized the opportunity.

In the second day of training, Keegan kept emphasizing defense, "Be sure to pay attention to defense!" ”

"Keep an eye out for it!"

"For us, defense is more important than offense......"

Keegan said a lot of things, but it was summed up in two words – defense, and when he finished telling the players, he sat on the sidelines and felt ashamed.

"When did I become like this?"

"I'm a supporter of attacking football...... Yes, I'm attacking football...... I'm going to make the team play good football. ”

"Now it'......"

Keegan repented and doubted himself for a long time, and finally found an excuse, "But there is no way! Our results are too good, but our strength is worse, and I can't implement my philosophy, so I can only pursue results......"

There is no compromise to be made.

That's how Keegan sees it anyway and has decided to stick with it.

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong also encountered troubles, he found out after training that there was a strange guy who kept sending him messages, he thought it was a harassing number, and immediately blocked the other party.

And then.

Facebook, newly registered Twitter, and even private emails all received the same message.

"Master Zhen, please teach me the superb skills of snooker!"

Nima!

Master Zhen?

What a bullshit call!

Zhen Shaolong carefully analyzed and knew that the other party must have known his contact information through acquaintances, and after replying to the message "Who are you", he learned the other party's name-

Sean Murphy!

Zhen Shaolong didn't react at first, he and Murphy played two sets of snooker, because the other party kept his promise and paid 100,000 pounds in the afternoon, he didn't remember the name at all, but he immediately thought of the other party's identity.

He immediately found Owen, "Michael, you betrayed me!" ”

"Betrayal?"

"Did you tell the guy whose name is Murphy my contact information? For example, my email address? ”

Owen nodded after thinking about it, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't know what he's going to do, and besides, I thought you became friends." ”

That's exactly what he saw.

Murphy and Zhen Shaolong played two sentences of snooker, said a lot of words to each other, and paid 100,000 pounds, with his understanding of Zhen Shaolong, he naturally became friends?

Like Alan Shearer?

The whole UK knows that Shearer and Zhen Shaolong are friends, go and see Shearer's Twitter, he has to post a photo every week, and Zhen Shaolong's 'intimate' group photo, as if the two have been together for a long time in private.

In fact.

Zhen Shaolong felt very helpless about this.

Shearer is simply an expert on hot spots, he finds excuses to come to visit every month, and even goes to Newcastle United Club to have the cheekiness to take a photo with Zhen Shaolong.

How can this be refused?

And then.

Hot spots are rubbed around.

Now there is an extra guy named Murphy, who has to cry and shout about learning snooker skills, Zhen Shaolong simply replied, "I really don't know how to snooker!" ”

Come to an end.

Block!

Zhen Shaolong felt that he couldn't talk to Murphy more, otherwise he would really expose his lack of snooker, and it would also affect his image a little, so he was a 'hermit snooker master' in a very low-key manner, which really felt very good.

He won't be able to do it in the future.

Seal the rod!

"It's so easy to leave a field where you have the best skills...... This is me, the low-key master Zhen Shaolong! ”

Zhen Shaolong didn't pay attention to the annoying Murphy anymore and continued to devote himself to training life.

Three days later.

In the new leg of the English League Cup, Newcastle United defeated Crystal Palace 4-1 and easily entered the next round.

A week later.

Newcastle United hosted Aston Villa and won 3-0, with Zhen scoring a goal in each half and shining at St James' Park.

Of course.

In the eyes of Newcastle fans, it is normal for Zhen Shaolong to score two goals, and when they talk about Zhen Shaolong's performance, they are all similar to this tone, "Zhen Shaolong has two goals, isn't it normal?" ”

"If I hear it one day, Zhen Shaolong doesn't score, I will be surprised......"

"Zhen Shaolong represents the goal!"

'Just beating Villa, I think the next game is crucial, it's hard for Chelsea to play against!'

“……”

Many fans are looking forward to the next round of the league.

In the hearts of Newcastle fans, Newcastle United is already at the top of the Premier League, no worse than the Premier League semi-finals.

When the fans were looking forward to it, Zhen Shaolong also encountered a difficult decision-

The club intends to sign a new contract.

"New contract?"

"That's right! Mr. Ashley called me personally and said what he thought, presumably the club was intending to keep you with a higher salary, or wanted to sign a higher liquidated damages. "Based on your performance, 200 million euros in liquidated damages is no longer enough to keep you, and there may be club ......."

Zhen Shaolong interrupted Alice and asked suspiciously, "I'm just curious, why aren't the liquidated damages paid to me directly?" 200 million euros...... I can't earn a salary for ten years. ”

“……”

Alice was about to complain, when she suddenly remembered that her contract share, one percent of 200 million euros, would also reach two million euros.

Such a large sum of money!

Rawls can't save it for the rest of his life, right?

Alice immediately nodded her head and sighed, "yes, I think so too." ”
