Chapter 521: Spoiling the Situation
Kevin Keegan.
Premier League manager.
His Premier League coaching experience is much more impressive than that of David Moyes.
Newcastle have been mediocre this season, but that hasn't affected him in the slightest.
'I'm glad that we at Newcastle can decide the fate of Manchester United and Everton.'
The situation is very simple, if Newcastle beat Everton, then Manchester United will win the trophy, otherwise Everton will win the cup.
'We're going to play like a final and I'd feel honoured to stop Everton from winning the title and that's what a long-time England manager wants to do, and that's to leave his name.'
Moyes showed his respect for Kevin Keegan and then watched from the pitch, he didn't want to talk too much.
Newcastle are the second-rate giants of the Premier League, the richer kind.
Kevin Keegan first has England internationals like Owen and Carroll, as well as midfielder Alan Smith, who was bought from Manchester United.
In addition, there are players such as Bart, Duff, Martins, and such a squad is very luxurious among the second-tier teams in the Premier League.
Before the game, the atmosphere created by the Everton fans at home was as grand as Christmas.
The stadium turned blue and the voices of the visiting fans of Liverpool and Newcastle were drowned out.
"Manchester United are champions."
"Manchester United are champions."
"Black magpies, shout with us."
But obviously the morale of Newcastle fans is not high, Kevin Keegan said it beautifully, but this is someone else's business, in fact, it is not his own business.
It's like someone else's wedding, where the guests are happy but don't care.
Liverpool fans saw that the Newcastle people were not strong, so they simply shouted themselves, but there were too few people, and they could buy very few tickets.
*****
In the tunnel of the players, the hearts of the Everton people were pounding, and they couldn't suppress their excitement.
"I feel like my heart is about to jump out." Lee Carsley laughed.
Tang Zhenglong patted him.
"Lee, there's no need to be nervous, anyway, your career is coming to an end, and a Premier League title can't bring you anything."
"Get out!!"
"Hahaha."
'I think it's me who cares the most about the title, Yakubu, Cahill and Lescott, because we still have a chance to go to a bigger club.
"Hahaha, beast."
But this is also the truth in everyone's hearts, win the championship, and then leave and go to a big club.
On the other hand, Owen looked at all this, and was very envious in his heart, his peak career had passed, and he once had the dream of winning the Premier League, but now he can only watch these young people chase their dreams.
Ten minutes into the game, the unexpected happened.
Neville was sent off.
'The Everton players are so excited, they're too excited, and it's too bad.
People can go wrong when they are excited, Neville is like that, his tackle action is big, it should be said that he is a little reckless, directly kicked Carroll in the calf, and the referee decisively gave him a red card.
It was no less than a major blow, with Neville being the Everton captain and the heart of the defence.
Neville rubbed his face, a little regretful, but there was no regret medicine, he could only choose to accept it.
When he was about to leave the game, Neville remembered his captain's armband, which should have been given to vice-captain Howard, who was the oldest, but Neville did not do this, but ran to Tang Zhenglong.
"Don, put your arm over."
“……”
Tang Zhenglong was stunned.
"Shouldn't Tim be the vice-captain?"
Neville smiled, "Come on, promise me, you must win the championship." ”
"Okay."
Neville put the captain's armband on Tang Zhenglong's arm, and the audience erupted in thunderous applause.
The game continues.
Moyes narrowed his defensive position in midfield a bit, not so far up and made sure he didn't concede the ball first.
But what to be afraid of.
At this time, Owen, a wind-chasing boy who had been silent for a long time, became powerful.
How good Owen is, anyone who has watched football knows that Owen has the speed of the wind and the keen sense of smell like a wolf when he is young.
But the attributes of the glass man did not allow Owen to reach the level of a superstar.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Owen is still Owen.
With 20 minutes into the first half, the tall Carroll received a long pass from the back and headed the ball to Irving, who used his speed to wipe out Lee Carsley, and then the Chasing Boy turned on the chasing mode.
Lescott faced Owen too quickly, and if he made a move easily, it could be another red card, which Everton could not afford.
Lescott wanted to keep up with Owen and squeeze him out a little bit so that he couldn't shoot.
But apparently, Owen was too fast, and he burst through.
"Mike is on the stab, and I'm like I'm back in the summer of 1998, when Owen took off."
Owen glanced at the goal and hit the top corner of the goal with the same footwork he did against Argentina.
Howard saved, but couldn't stop the ball from flying towards goal.
GOOOOOAL!!!
The commentators were cheering, but the home fans were silent and fell behind, and if the score remained until the end, then Everton would have lost the Premier League title.
Newcastle were cheering, they really had become spoilers.
'It's not that easy to win the Premier League and David should know that.
It's true, even if you sprint for even one point, you will lose the final title, this is the cruel Premier League.
Tang Zhenglong ran back and comforted his teammates.
"Lift your head up for me, we'll get it back."
"Don, we believe in you."
However, some teammates have determined eyes, but some have begun to flicker in their eyes.
Tang Zhenglong knows that the mouth cannon is useless, the most important thing is to score a goal as soon as possible, which is the most important thing.
The game continues.
Kevin Keegan was a thief, shrinking up immediately after taking the lead, and he had already figured out how to brag about it in front of the media after the game.
'I decided who won the Premier League and Manchester United should be thankful to me.'
Kevin Keegan is a man who likes to be in the limelight, and he doesn't want to be a supporting character.
On Everton's side, the situation was a bit more difficult, with one man less and a goal behind, and Moyes knew that he had to score as soon as possible.
But Newcastle's defense of Tang Zhenglong can be described as savage.
Moyes protested, "This is the Nth time Tang Zhenglong has been kicked to the ground, and the opponent should have received a red card." ”
"Holy, so rough? Don't blame me for hanging up. ”
Tang Zhenglong wanted to open a hang-up and teach his opponent a lesson, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.
"Let's talk about it in the second half, in the first half on my own, I'm a man who wants to be the king of the ball, I should learn to score goals by myself."
Until the end of the first half, the score was still 0-1.
