The farce about Mamadou Sacco has been going on. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The young centre-back, after completely tearing his face with the Magpies, is like a 'French version of Xianglin', constantly telling media reporters about his misfortune and accusing the madman Lee of his brutality in Newcastle!

However, after the last time he was stopped by angry fans on the street and knocked out his front teeth, in order to prevent another non-crazy fan beating, the French teenager apparently learned to be obedient, and hired seven or eight bodyguards under the arrangement of his agent, and for several days, he stayed in his luxury villa and never came out...... The giants who originally claimed to be interested in Mamadou Sakho have retreated from Newcastle's unyielding £20 million listing price and have no courage to make another offer to Newcastle.

Everyone understands that this is the madman Lee using strong means to declare his existence!

Take the unlucky ghost who dares to betray himself, there is no point killing chicken to show the monkey, before the winter transfer period really arrives, with Sacko as an example, it will obviously give some shock to the other young players in the first team who have no points!

Sure enough, after the tough blockade of Sarko, the large-scale contract renewal work of the first team presided over by Tolosi Tang, the head of the transfer department of Newcastle, has made progress in breaking through...... This renewal is mainly aimed at young players.

As a result, stars such as Michael Owen, Ronaldo, Fernando Gago and Podolski, who are already enjoying high wages, are not on the list. And Marcelo, Pastore, Manzioni, Hugo Lloris, Nicolas Gigi and others have all been notified of contract renewals by the club!

It's not that there is no one to make trouble!

Originally, Pastore's somewhat money-hungry agent father also wanted to delay the contract extension for a while so that he could bargain again, or borrow the overtures of other clubs to get a super big contract for his son...... But after experiencing the club's brutal ban on Sarco, the old Xavier was so frightened that he rushed to be the first to sign a new contract with Newcastle!

And the most positive performance is Gareth Bale's dad Rogis.

The middle-aged uncle slammed his chest: "Lee, you are my son's benefactor, I believe you will find a path for Bell that suits him best......" It seems that before Christmas, Li Tongfan's plan will be perfectly realized!

Soon, every player in the plan obediently signed the contract.

Pastore's weekly salary is 35,000, Marcelo 40,000, Gareth Bale 35,000, Sami Khedira 30,000, Moussa Sissoko 20,000, Hugo Lloris 40,000, Manzioni 25,000...... Such a salary structure is in the lower middle of the 20 teams in the Premier League, and it is completely affordable for Newcastle.

And, if at the end of the season, the team can win a few weighty titles as planned at the beginning of the season, then achieving a small surplus in the 08-09 season should not be a problem!

However, Lao Li's crazy methods can scare his players, but they can't stop those giant teams who are eyeing the Magpies with saliva on them!

As the opening of the door to the winter transfer market approaches day by day, the portals and newspapers of the football media of the five major leagues are closing more and more news about player transfers, flying all over the sky!

Among them, Newcastle due to their crazy performance in the first half of the season, the players whose value has risen sharply are naturally the most popular among the major giants.

Sacco is not just a special reel, Marcelo, Pastore, Khedira, the Eastern European duo [Tsar] and [Eastern European Ronaldo] and others naturally attracted a large number of 'wild bees and butterflies'...... "The Times-"...... Ashley Cole's injury absence has made the Blues' journey to the title difficult and, in order to fill the vacancy at left wing-back, Dutch interim boss Guus Hiddink has recommended his international protégé Yuri Zjerkov to owner Roman Abramovich......

News of the World - "...... Arsene Wenger is very interested in Russian Tsar Arshavin, who has long been fascinated by Arshavin's brilliant performance in Newcastle's previous game against Arsenal...... After injuries to Theo Walcott and Bendtner, Arsenal are now desperate to bring in a frontcourt player with super scoring ability, and the Russian, who is not an absolute mainstay at Newcastle, is clearly a very suitable choice...... "Sunday"? ――“…… David Thornton's meteoric growth at St James' has left Serie A giants Inter Milan regretting letting go of the supernova at the start of the season...... Now, both Moratti and the madman Jose Mourinho are hoping to bring Santon back to the San Siro once the winter transfer market opens...... "...... Galliani admits they are very interested in Newcastle newcomer Nicolas Gigi, who the Milan general manager believes suits Milan with his elegant aristocratic temperament and has the potential to become the next Inzaghi...... Reporter analysis, this is not the real reason why Milan is interested in Gigi, in the loan Shepchenko is difficult to show the strength of the past, and Borriello has been unable to integrate into the team, Milan's forward line only relies on Pato and Inzaghi is obviously unreliable, but Berlusco's financial austerity makes it difficult for Milan to come up with a large transfer fee in the winter transfer period, so that Milan can only fix the eyes of the reinforcements on those young players or veterans who are cheap but have good strength, He has been playing as a substitute at Newcastle, but Gigi, who has a lot of goalscoring ability, is clearly a very suitable target, and he is still very young......

As...... Marca...... Le Monde Sport...... At this time, the news about player transfers and the recruitment of major giants in the newspapers is like the flying flotsam in Jiangnan in April, flying all over the sky, confusing people's eyes, and no one can tell the truth from the false...... And for the players, every time the transfer window opens, it is an opportunity.

Those who are depressed can try their luck by changing players, the star of a small team can find a way to climb the high branch and enter the giants to show their strength, the guy who is dissatisfied because of the low salary can get better treatment by changing jobs, and those who are a little famous in the lower league can jump to a higher mainstream league...... This is a season of flying sideways!

…… In late December, almost all of the other five major leagues have entered the winter break, and instead of the winter break, the Premier League has ushered in a more intensive and difficult schedule - the Devil's Christmas schedule!

During this time, the English League Cup, FA Cup, league and other competitions are coming, and almost every Premier League team is facing a situation of two games a week.

Team morale, rotation, bench depth, injuries...... Almost all of the above factors that determine a team's record are likely to explode during this time period, so a team's record in the Devil's Christmas schedule will almost largely determine their league position at the end of the season!

The real test is coming!

However, for Newcastle, the schedule is a lucky one.

Although the Magpies will face five games around December 25, the opponents are not too strong, and they are almost all teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

December 23rd.

Newcastle hosted League Cup fifth-round opponents Middlesbrough and eventually won 2-0 to advance to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup thanks to a second-half brace from Nicholas Gigi's second-half substitute.

On December 24, the day before Christmas, the 19th round of the English Premier League was rekindled.

Newcastle's opponents are a super-hated 'Golden Dollar Army' Manchester City team.

In St. James, this 'mercenary army' with a large number of powerful stars caused a lot of trouble for the Magpies, Newcastle led three times and was equalized by them three times, and finally relied on Argentine veteran Hernan Crespo to grab the point, Newcastle narrowly escaped 4:3!

On December 27, Newcastle ushered in the first FA Cup game of the season, sweeping Nottingham Forest 3-0 away...... On December 30, in the 20th round of the English Premier League, the Magpies challenged the 'farmer' Fulham away, relying on goals from Ronaldo and Michael Owen, Newcastle won 2:0...... After this game, the Magpies' Devil's Christmas schedule has finally come to an end.

Of all the teams in the Premier League, Newcastle, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have all won all of their league titles...... It's a time for the Premier League to be on its way to glory!

In less than 32 hours, the door to the winter transfer market is about to open, and Mamadou Sako, who was blocked by Li Tongfan, still has not found a club willing to pay 2,000 pounds for him, and Li Tongfan has already prepared for the departure of the Frenchman!

…… Rewind time by a week.

The city of Milan, Italy.

San Siro Stadium.

The Rossoneri AC Milan host their last league opponents before the winter break, Lazio Azzard.

“…… goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！ Matuzaren!! He smashed past Abbiati's handle...... 1：0！！ AC Milan, playing at home, are ...... behind"

“…… Milan back line made a serious mistake, who is it? Woo, God, it's Senderos again, the Swiss made his 10th league appearance of the season but made a mistake for the eleventh...... Why did Carlo Ancelotti send this glass man with a big colander on the field? ”

“…… Whoa, God!! Senderos made another mistake when he accidentally smashed Ledesma's shot into his own goal...... 2：0！！ It's unbelievable that AC Milan are two goals behind at home......"

“…… In the 70th minute, AC Milan were still two goals behind, and if they lost the last game before the winter break, they would fall out of the top four in the standings, and there was only a theoretical possibility left for them to win the championship......""...... Carlo Ancelotti was replaced by Andrei Shepchenko at this time! ”

“…… But the hero of Milan City, after returning from loan this season, played a total of 15 starts and substitutes in the first half of the season, without scoring goals and no assists, completely losing the power of the former warhead, is Ancelotti counting on him to save the team? ”

“…… Golden opportunity!! Kaka's through ball, one-on-one...... Shepchenko! Shepchenko!! Shepchenko!! …… How can it be? It's incredible, it's incredible!! He actually shot the football into the stands on the third floor behind the goal, which ...... It's a one-handed ball! ”

"The game is over, AC Milan lost 2-1 to Lazio, Kaka set up Inzaghi to score a face-saving goal for the Rossoneri! Shepchenko, who came on as a substitute, squandered at least three great chances, listen to the roar from the stands of the San Siro, and the Milan fans used the most fierce words to scold the heroes of yesteryear......

At the end of the song, people are scattered.

The hustle and bustle of the stadium is a stage play with joys and sorrows, and after 90 minutes of excitement, it is empty, and the eternal tranquility is restored...... Shepchenko returned to his home in Milan.

His wife and children had been left in England, and he was now alone, and the huge house was more lonely and dark than luxuriously furnished...... The game was still slowly replaying in his brain, and Shepchenko was tired and leaned weakly on the back of the sofa, knowing that his glory at the San Siro was completely over and could never be recovered...... Six months ago, he thought he would find his form, and he was still hoping that the fans of Milan City would forgive him for his betrayal, like a child who made a mistake, expecting forgiveness from his parents...... However, the cruel facts have proved that these expectations are impossible to achieve!

The Sheva of this era has said goodbye to the Sheva of that era forever!

The six months that have just ended have made the heroes of the past understand that the forgiveness they were looking forward to has become an impossible luxury!

Here, he has been marginalized and is no longer a regular in the team, having to sit on the bench and wait for his chances, when Pato, Ronaldinho and even Borriello are tired of playing, to get a few dozen minutes of play...... More often than not, for 90 minutes, he sat on the bench and watched the game end as his teammates celebrated on the field...... The scene of celebration was so familiar, but there was no longer him in the figure of joy!

The applause of the San Siro is no longer ringing for him, the fans of Milan are not scrambling to wear the number 7 shirt as before, and for those who were once extremely fanatical, the name Andrei Shepchenko is now more like a symbol of a changing era...... The fireworks are splendid, but they can't last long!

Perhaps, it's time to leave!

But where to go?

Chelsea?

The place where boos were louder than San Siro everywhere, the place where the last shreds of his career were buried, the place where he could only feel cold and helpless...... Will that place still have its own place?

Still is...... Or go back to the most primitive place where the dream began, Kip Dynamo? However, leaving the mainstream European leagues so early, the nuclear warhead is really not reconciled...... At this time, the telephone rang suddenly--jingle ring!!

In this empty and dark room, the sudden ringing made Shepchenko's heart tremble, and he picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number......
