Chapter 284: The Dream March of Overwhelming Bamboo

On March 22, the FA announced an additional suspension for Newcastle defender Joey Barton!

Although Newcastle FC had done their best to appeal Barton's red card, the 'red card pro' still paid a huge price for his bad name of elbowing Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon on the night of White Hart Lane - an additional two-match suspension!

This extremely harsh punishment by the FA has also temporarily silenced the voices of those who suspect that the madman Lee has abused his power for the benefit of Newcastle!

And Li Tongfan is also well aware of this, and did not make any more full remarks as "predicted" by many brick beasts, and unexpectedly expressed his understanding of the FA's punishment through the media in an extremely low-key manner!

After all, Lao Li is now holding two positions!

I don't know how many guys with ulterior motives are waiting for the madman Lee to make a mistake, uh!

This delicate relationship must be carefully maintained!

…… In the next two days, Li Tongfan devoted all his energy to the vigorous "rectification movement" of Newcastle!

First of all, of course, is to redefine the Magpies' goals for this season!

Because only in this way can the fighting spirit of the team be aroused!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Our goal is the UEFA Cup, to qualify for Europe at the end of the tournament!! ”

When Lee Tong-beom expressed his thoughts at the team's regular meeting, everyone was surprised!

Whether it is the Magpies coaching staff or the players of the first team, they originally thought that it would be very good to stay in the Premier League, who knew that the manager's goal was actually the League Cup!

As a result, everyone began to estimate in their minds the probability of achieving this seemingly impossible goal!

After 30 rounds of the Premier League, Newcastle has won 34 league points with the last two consecutive rounds, ranking 15th in the Premier League standings! Although it is only four points above the relegation zone, Tottenham Hotspur, who are fifth in the league table, only has 49 points, and West Ham and Manchester City, who are sixth and seventh, are 42 and 41 respectively, about eight points higher than Newcastle...... People were surprised to find that the original ...... This gap does not seem to be an insurmountable barrier!

There is a chance!!

Moreover, Newcastle had already qualified for the International Toto Cup before that!

Even if you miss out on the worst of qualifying - you can't finish in the top 7 in the league table after three months, you can still qualify for the UEFA Cup if you make it to the International Toto Cup!

Motivation is only possible when there is a goal!

This statement is not wrong at all!

As professionals, Newcastle's players certainly want to be able to play on the European stage!

If former owner Sam Allardyce had said such a goal, it is expected that the coaching staff and players would soon be sent to the Newcastle Western Suburbs Neurological Institute for a detailed examination...... But if only the God on the sidelines of the football field thinks so...... I hope there is greatly!

The manager's ambition has infected the hammers, and if they can really climb from the bottom of the table to the top seven after the league is over...... It's a miracle that can amaze fans all over the world!

Miracle work, it's the dream of every man in the world who can get an erection!

For a while, everyone felt that their blood was burning!!

Burning!

Once you've set your goals and boosted your morale!

Lee Tong-beom began to drastically change the team's tactics - from the 4-1-2-1-2-2 formation with both wings flying together in the first two games to a 4-3-3 crazy attacking formation!

An adventurous formation!

However, it has also maximized the potential of the distribution of manpower among Newcastle players, who are stronger in attack than in defense!

Even better, the red card suspension of defender Joey Barton clearly provided an opportunity for Lee Tong-fan to change his formation!

Although this will sacrifice the team's defensive ability to a certain extent, in the next training session, the Magpies' crazy firepower in the front court still injected a shot in the arm for the coaching staff - after two days of training, the barrels of Nicholas Bendtner, Michael Irving, Viduka and Ameobi are hot and hot, and they can't wait for the opponent to send them to the door!

…… The Hammers didn't have to wait long, and the opportunity to test Newcastle's latest tactical system was not long in coming!

March 24th!

The 31st round of the Premier League begins!

Newcastle host St James' Park against the Hammers West Ham United!

This game is very important for the Magpies, who are aiming to challenge for the UEFA Cup, as opponents West Ham United are currently sixth in the league table and are direct rivals of Newcastle!

A life-and-death race with 6 points at stake!

…… The race starts at 19:00 in the evening!

Due to Newcastle's excellent form in the last two games, West Ham United manager Alan Kobishley has carefully set up a 4-1-4-1 formation at St James' Park, focusing on defence!

And Li Tongfan did not hesitate to sacrifice a freshly baked 4-3-3 formation!

It turns out that the change of formation of the madman Li Dai brought a wonderful game that made the Magpies fans want to die and want to die!

A crazy goalscoring performance - Newcastle beat the Hammers 7:3 with a brace from lightning killer Michael Owen, striker Alan Smith and Danish star Bendtner, and the icing on the cake from Australian rhinoceros Viduka!

After being "rehabilitated", Juan Mata came on as a substitute for Ireland's fast Madhav in the 60th minute of the second half, and soon provided two assists for the team in less than 30 minutes! And it can be clearly seen that Xiao Zhengtai and the players in the Newcastle front are becoming more and more proficient in cooperating, and the repeated sprinting breakthroughs on the side have made the West Ham United full-backs tired!

On the opponent's side, West Ham United's goal hero was their Welsh striker Bellamy!

With Given's return from injury waiting until the next game, Steve Harper, who made a big mistake against Fulham last time out, was lucky enough to continue to start! Therefore, the defensive weakness exposed in Newcastle's latest 4-3-3 formation in the game allowed Bellamy, who was extremely fast in [speed] and [explosiveness], to seize the opportunity to score a hat trick!

However, the Welshman's performance clearly did not spoil the good mood of the Newcastle fans in the stands at St James' Park!

Newcastle Night on 24 March was another wonderful time for Magpies fans to smile!

Coach Lee Tong-bum said with a smile on his face at the post-match press conference that he was very satisfied with the team's performance!

However, Alan Kobishley, the head coach of the Hammers, was not in such a good mood and was very disappointed!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It was a really bad game...... Every player at West Ham did their best, but the opponents had better luck than we did...... However, it is worth noting that Newcastle's poor backline still gave us plenty of chances...... If Crazy Lee continues to play with such tactics in future matches, it will definitely be them who lose......"

Obviously, Kobyshli was not convinced by the final result of this match!

Moreover, the old man reminded the other opponents of Newcastle through a press conference that the Magpies' backline is very bad, and you should not hesitate to let the horse come over and play against this girl...... Insidious guys!

…… After a 7-3 win over West Ham, they moved up one place in the league standings to 14th with 37 points!

The situation of attacking the League Cup is very optimistic, because Wigan Athletic, which has been from 14th to 10th, is only 39 points, only 2 points higher than Newcastle!

Now it looks like if the Magpies can keep winning all of their next seven rounds, maybe they won't have to fight in the Toto Cup to qualify for the UEFA Cup!

After three wins in a row, even the sea breeze blowing over Newcastle seems to be filled with the smell of champagne celebrating the victory, and it becomes warm and intoxicating!

But it's time for the national team competition again!

On March 27, according to the previous agreement between the two football associations, the Three Lions and the African powerhouse Ghana will play a friendly match at Wembley Stadium!

Lee Tong-beom must return to his job at the Three Lions!

In the friendly squad with Ghana, Lao Li still continued the youth lineup against the Austrian national team before!

Some young players who can't play the main team in their own club are like being hit by pies falling from the sky, and they are happily called by the madman Lee! Among them, Freddie Eastwood and David Nugent, who play for the Championship team, were selected as the two strikers to shock the British domestic media the most!

It seems that every time the madman Lee announces the national team squad, the opticians in the British Isles will do a boom!

Because there are countless people who will be surprised to accidentally drop their glasses after seeing the big list!

It is not for nothing that the voice of the madman Li "reads talents" dares to question!

McLaren, who had disappeared for a long time, couldn't wait to jump out again: "...... Nonsense, nonsense!! This is simply a denial of the glorious and distinguished status of the England team, and the two small fish and shrimp who have been in the Championship have become members of the great national team...... Crazy Lee is playing a game of house with the England team......"

But ......"...... The honour and dignity of the England national team is maintained by the results and goals scored on the pitch, not by the so-called value or fame of the players, and Mr McLaren's ignorance once again tells us why the results of the national team have been so unimpressive during his tenure...... And, from his statement, it is clear that Mr McLaren has a very strong tendency to discriminate against the Championship and the players......"

This is the backlash of the madman Lee!

For the first time since the madman Lee joined the Three Lions, he countered McLaren's accusations, and his words were sharp and his attitude was only tough, which easily won the favor of the English media and players at all levels of domestic leagues!

And the next fact slapped McLaren hard a few times!

Because the result of the friendly match once eloquently proved the "greatness" of the "God on the sidelines" of the madman Lee - the second team of England defeated the Ghanaian national team led by Chelsea buffalo Essien 4:2 at Wembley Stadium!

Manchester City newcomer Stanley Wang, who grew up under the tutelage of Crazy Lee, scored a brace and Aston Villa winger Ashley Young netted a bone...... Of course, the most important thing was that Freddie Eastwood scored a goal and David Nugent provided an assist from the two "little fish and shrimp" who started the game!

Now, the whole of England knows that there are two such outstanding strikers in the Championship!

According to estimates by professional media, after a friendly match, Eastwood and Nugent's value has increased by at least 10 times! And in fact, the young players who have received the favor of the madman Li in everything are almost not worth anything!

In the eyes of the players, Crazy Lee is almost a godfather when it comes to identifying the potential of young players!

And in the mouth of the media, the status of the madman Lee has also almost risen to become a great coach with the ability to see thousands of horses on a par with Professor Arsene Wenger,...... The young talents of the British Isles have made it a dream to be able to play under the tent of Crazy Lee!

…… The Three Lions friendlies were just a small episode, and the real intensity was the fierce competition at the end of the Premier League!

With 7 rounds left in the league, the competition for the championships and places in the season is simply getting hot!

Newcastle continued their soaring goalscoring show under the crazy tactics of Crazy Lee!

March 30th!

Round 32 of the Premier League!

Newcastle take on Derby County, who are 11th from bottom in the league at St James' Park!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ gooooooooooooal!! Michael Owen!! Less than two minutes into the game, Owen scored the Derby County goal with a header to get off to a fantastic start ......"...... Ameobi !! Nice header!! It was Newcastle's second goal!! Oh oh oh, Derbyshire is in big trouble...... "...... The ball went in, and it went in again......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ gooooooooooal!!! ”

Over the course of 93 minutes, the on-site commentators at St James' Park roared seven times and muttered twice with a bit of regret...... Because Newcastle overwhelmingly swept the league vice-captain Derby County 7:2!

Michael Owen hat-trick!

Nicholas Bendtner hat-trick!

Ameobi scores a goal!

The two fast horse wingers Duff and Juan Mata each scored a hat-trick of assists!

As the game drew to a close, Newcastle fans excitedly threw their flags high into the night sky!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We have to admit that it was no surprise that Newcastle were so comfortable with an absolute victory, and the huge difference of five goals in the game made it clear that Derby County and Crazy Lee's players will never be in the same .......

This is a one-sentence evaluation of this game by the Premier League's most famous football TV show, "A Week of Green Commentary"!

And relying on this big win, Newcastle's league points have risen to 40, only 2 points less than Manchester City, which is in seventh place, and is in 10th place!

The progress is appalling!

…… On April 6, the 33rd round of the English Premier League!

Newcastle take on the 17th-ranked men's team Reading away!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The game is over!! Whew, that's a pity...... Reading lost the game, but against Crazy Lee and his Newcastle, even Martin Joel couldn't do anything at White Hart Lane...... It was not easy for us to get the ball into the back of the net behind Givens on three occasions, the 3-5 score didn't tell the whole story, at least we created a lot of scoring chances, and well, the Reading fighters ......."

The above is the moment when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the on-site commentator of Reading's home stadium sent a message of comfort to the home team players! The macho team played very bravely in the 90 minutes, but in the face of the Magpies' strong attack in the front court led by Michael Irving, it was still a regrettable defeat!

Night!

On the highway from Reading to Newcastle, the "Magpie Expedition" once again waved their smug laughter!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Newcastle's potential has been fully exploited by Crazy Lee, who at the start of the season had a lot of pundits who thought the Magpies had what it was possible to cause problems for the Premier League teams, and now they have done it! ”

The Green Review of the Week once again commented on Newcastle's performance: "Crazy Lee sacrificed the Magpies' defence so Reading were able to score three goals at home, but the Magpies' attacking power in midfield ensured they could claim a valuable victory......... Owen isn't the only player to be reborn under the Crazy Lee, as Juan Mata, a former Manchester United juncture, seems to have found his Real Madrid era and is enjoying his new Premier League journey......

After 32 rounds, Newcastle rose up the Premier League table for the first time, finishing 8th, and almost touched the "delicate chrysanthemum" of seventh-place Middlesbrough...... Challenging for UEFA Cup qualification is no longer a dream!

…… On April 13, the 34th round of the English Premier League!

Newcastle host Blackburn!

Ninety minutes later, the actual Arabic numerals for the electronic scoreboard are: 4:2!

The home team is in front and the away team is in the back!

Although Joey Barton paid at the end of his suspension, the madman Lee did not put him in the starting lineup, and the Magpies continued the previous 4-3-3 formation that shocked the Premier League!

The three strikers of Irving, Bendtner and Viduka each scored a goal!

Juan Mata, who started the game, finally scored his first goal for Newcastle in the 67th minute...... After the goal, the excited little guy rushed to the sidelines frantically, and hugged the "mentor" madman Li with tears in his eyes...... This scene touched everyone at St James's Park!

At this moment, the applause was thunderous and the cheers were like a tide!

The whole city of Newcastle is worshipping the madman Lee!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm still the same Juan Mata as before, no different from Manchester United......" Juan Mata was given the opportunity to face questions from reporters in his post-match press conference: "It's just that now the boss is more willing to give me opportunities and trust...... As you know, although I didn't do well in the first few games at Newcastle, the Newcastle fans and team-mates were more willing to give me encouragement and opportunities, which is obviously different from when I was at Old Trafford...... I have no hesitation in telling everybody: I love Newcastle, I am grateful to Mr. Rice Bucket and I will definitely stay here after the end of the season......

Juan Mata bombards Ferguson!! 》

"Manchester United is my nightmare, says Juan Mata!! 》

The reborn Spanish King refuses to return to Old Trafford! 》

The media has finally seized on another excitement point that excites the fans and hyped it up!

The latest evaluation of Newcastle's performance in this round by "Green Review of the Week" is: "Newcastle's attack power is the best in the Premier League, and the crisis of the top seven teams in the table is coming......"

After this round, Newcastle still remain in 8th place in the standings and have not risen!

Because fifth, sixth, and seventh-placed Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and Middlesbrough all won!

There is a 2-point gap between the Magpies and seventh-placed Middlesbrough!

With 4 rounds left in the league, the situation has changed for the better!

According to the schedule, Middlesbrough's last four rounds of matches are against mid-table teams who are relegated and lacking in progress, and even West Ham United, who are in sixth, have a very easy schedule! Newcastle's opponents in the last four rounds are slightly weaker except for Bolton, and the Red Devils Manchester United, Aston Villa and Reds Liverpool are all known to everyone!

Of course, fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur also had bad luck because Dutch coach Martin Joel was up against Martin O'Neal, Alex Ferguson, Rafael Benitez and Jose Mourinho!

Although they are a pair of difficult brothers with Newcastle, Tottenham's advantage is that they are fifth!

So they could qualify for the UEFA Cup even if they lose one or two games, while Newcastle will need to keep it all and hope that their opponents lose in the remaining four rounds to have a chance of coming from behind!

Thrilling! Thrilling!! Thrilling!!!

The last 4 rounds of the Premier League are the real test for the madman Lee and Newcastle who have regained their form!

…… April 19th!

Premier League Round 35!

Bolton Wanderers is Newcastle's weakest opponent in the final four rounds, so before the game, Lee Tongfan gave a "must-kill order" - the game must be won, who dares to be lazy, hum...... To everyone's surprise, the madman Lee changed the 4-3-3 formation that he had relied on in the latest round of consecutive victories, and switched back to the previous 4-1-2-1-2 wings!

After 90 minutes, Newcastle beat Bolton Wanderers 3-0!

Owen scores a hat-trick!

It is worth noting that after Joey Barton's appearance, Newcastle have kept their "virgin status" for the first time in recent league games!

Some people speculate that the reason for the change of formation is that the madman Lee is preparing for the next round of the league against the Red Devils!

Because if you choose 4-3-3 against the Red Devils Manchester United at Old Trafford at the Theatre of Dreams, it is estimated that Newcastle will be bombarded with no scum left! You must know that the best central defender in the Premier League this season formed by Vidic and Leo Ferdinand is not the target of everyone's bullying, and the attacking line composed of Wayne Rooney and Tevez, two fat men with strong impact, is even more human-blocking and killing...... In the face of a weak team, you can be superstitious in attacking, and defending in the face of a strong team is the king to win!

Therefore, no matter from that point of view, for the madman Lee facing the Red Devils with a perfect lineup and playing at home, a balanced offensive and defensive formation is the root of a victory that "steals"!

Although there is still a week to go before the battle at Old Trafford, the first collision between Crazy Lee and Ferguson in the Premier League has already captured the attention of the world!
