Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 300 Afterglow of the Boss Era

In the first three rounds of matches, Newcastle only scored 1 point with 2 draw and 1 losses. This is the report card handed over by last season's Europa League runner-up team after a large signing?
For this reason, Newcastle's current coach Graeme Souness and team captain Alan Shearer have been criticized by the media to varying degrees!
England's northern powerhouse, the Magpies, is resigning itself to corruption!A team with a glorious tradition that has reached the FA Cup final 13 times in history, after the spiritual leader Alan Shearer showed his old age, they don't know how to play football!How sad!

Now, Newcastle is about to face the challenge of a strong Manchester United. It seems that Newcastle United will die. It is very likely that they will have to enter the embarrassing situation of fighting for relegation after the end of the first month of the new season... Think about it, with only 1 point in the four rounds of the league, Newcastle fans may cry in their sleep. Such a miserable situation, even when they were facing relegation last time, it was not so miserable?

Newcastle is already so miserable, but some people still think they are not miserable enough!
Manchester United playing Newcastle, this kind of game does not need to be mobilized at all, just look at the energy of the Red Devils captain Roy Keane to understand that Manchester United will never be soft!
Of course, it is impossible for Manchester United to show mercy to Newcastle United. Chelsea's league results last season were astonishing. They all pursue excellence, and only then did they achieve a brilliant record of 19 wins, 8 draws and 1 loss, breaking a league record of 95 points.

Chelsea are clearly continuing their magical journey this season, scoring 6 goals and conceding 0 goals in three games!
Of course, Manchester United's goal is to win back the league championship, so every league point, even every goal and conceded goal must be the best!
This time, after getting permission from Ferguson, Roy Keane stood up and expressed his attitude for the upcoming game.

"In the last 8 meetings, we have maintained a record of 7 wins and 1 draw! In that St. James' Park stadium, our record is a complete victory! So, I can't think of any reason why Manchester United will meet in the next game. Trouble, 3 points, there is no doubt that we must win these 3 points!"

"I heard that Alan Shearer is going to retire, maybe this year, maybe after the end of the season next year. As a former opponent, I will give him a ride."

We often say that for a newcomer, we should "help him on the horse and give him a ride", which means caring and love, but what Roy Keane said now is "send him a ride", that is ruthless!
In other words, what Roy Keane means is: Shearer, if you still refuse to leave when you are old, then I will kick you and make you go faster!
Roy Keane's tone was very arrogant.

However, such gunpowder-flavored speech is very realistic, making people feel that this is the atmosphere that Manchester United and Newcastle should have when they meet.

The captain of the Red Devils PK Captain Gray Magpie has always been a grand event in English football in the mid-to-late 90s. Every time the two teams meet, the scene is very hot. The two captains are the pioneers of their respective teams. They always Fight from the outside to the court, and never give up until you fight to the death.

At that time, it was considered by the fans to be the "Big Brother Era of the Premier League", and the contest between Roy Keane and Alan Shearer was the highest level contest in the Big Brother Era!
Now, Alan Shearer has just passed his 35th birthday, and Roy Keane has also passed his 34th birthday. As the two captains get old, such a grand occasion is seen once less.

Roy Keane expressed his intention to retire much earlier than Alan Shearer. He wanted to retire after the 2002 World Cup. Now three years have passed, Roy Keane is still the main midfielder of Manchester United, and , Judging from the current situation, Roy Keane is still brave on the court, but Alan Shearer is no longer powerful.

In fact, since last season, the two captains have gradually faded out of football.

Roy Keane has only a handful of assists, and he can only contribute to the team on the defensive end. The number of appearances and goals of Alan Shearer, a magic shooter, has been greatly reduced, and he has been unable to maintain a normal season. state.

The birthdays of the two are both in mid-August, with a difference of only 8 days. That is to say, they are one year older this season.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, after the start of this season, the captain of the Red Devils seemed to have suddenly rejuvenated, and his performance on the field was even stronger than last season!
Especially in the two UEFA Champions League qualifying matches, the 34-year-old Roy Keane became the absolute pillar of Manchester United's defense. His condition is as good as when he was 30 years old!This phenomenon is absolutely uncommon. People often only see the performance of older players plummeting. When do you see older players playing better?

In the face of Roy Keane's arrogance, the Newcastle people can be said to be so angry that their eyes can breathe fire!
In September 2001, Newcastle beat Manchester United on the pitch for the last time, relying on Alan Shearer successfully provoking Roy Keane's anger in the game, "the Premier League's first midfielder" failed to control himself In a fit of anger, he hit someone with a ball and grabbed the opponent's neck, and was eventually sent off with a red card. Newcastle also took the opportunity to win a 9:4 narrow victory.

Time flies, and 4 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the contradiction between the two teams remains.

The scene 4 years ago is still talked about by Newcastle fans. Every time Manchester United visits St. James' Park, Newcastle fans will use that incident to humiliate their opponents, calling Manchester United a "bunch of savages" and "butchers".

When Roy Keane was severely fined by the FA for admitting in his autobiography that he intended to "abolish" Manchester City player Haaland, Newcastle fans cheered and called on the FA to give Roy Keane Permanent ban!
In other words, the history of Roy Keane's campaign for Manchester United, 1995 years after the first red card in April 4, is known as the "ten-year history of red cards", but in fact Roy Keane is only in the only team. The team was dyed red twice, and this team is Newcastle United.

Alan Shearer: "I only scored 7 goals in the league last season. This number is really bad for me. But I was still the top scorer in the Europa League last season! Old, or rather, I will never be old when we meet Manchester United!"

"I don't understand, the executioner should have stayed away from the sacred green field 3 years ago, but why is he still there? Doesn't he know shame?"

Alan Shearer, who was not reconciled, naturally chose to fight back.

killer! ... Alan Shearer was also unequivocal about Roy Keane's words. The remarks of these two people immediately heated up the English football world. One accuses the other of being a "hangman".

Is this the age of the Premier League bosses coming again?

Every England fan, when seeing Roy Keane and Alan Shearer's tit-for-tat battle, has a feeling of "recalling the past", as if the Premier League has returned to the era of big shots a few years ago, Roy Keane En PK Arsenal captain Vieira, Roy Keane PK Magpies Alan Shearer, and so on.

Football players basically have a more or less heroic complex, and Ronando is a young man with a heroic complex.

He can't wait to rush up and drag Roy Keane away: Let me come the fuck!Don't I have conflicts with Alan Shearer?Just three months ago, didn't that stinky guy and I almost fought in the Europa League final?You have been playing for so many years, it's time for us juniors to play!

But Ronando can only think about it in his heart. This is not Benfica. It is not his turn to come forward. With his qualifications, he is not even qualified to play the side drum!
What makes Ronando find it interesting is that after Roy Keane and Alan Shearer publicly quarreled, the English media did not criticize these two old and unrefined guys, but was very happy to see the results, desperately Fan the flames.

Just imagine, if it was such a hot scene with other players, the media would definitely jump to condemn "no moral bottom line", so how could they condone it?
Gone are the days of big bosses!I wish I could travel back a few years earlier. If Ronando came to the Premier League a few years ago, it would be cool. How fun it is to scold outside the court and compete on the court. The captain of the Premier League team in that era is really "England captain", unlike now, almost all England captains are suppressed by the head coach, and they can only be counted as half of England captains.

Against such a background, the Manchester United team was fully loaded and rushed to Newcastle, the northernmost city in England, on Saturday, August 8.

Newcastle, whose full name is "Newcastle upon Tyne", is a port city located in the lower reaches of the Tyne River, only 10 kilometers away from the mouth of the North Sea.

Here is the political, commercial and cultural center of northern England. It is also a famous tourist city with a population of only 20, but it receives more than 100 million tourists every year. The number of such tourists is second to none in England. Newcastle was also named "England's most popular city in the 20th century".

Newcastle is so popular not only because it has rich tourist resources and colorful nightlife.It was rated as one of the eight major entertainment cities in the world, also because of Newcastle's unique climate conditions in England.

Living in Newcastle is far more comfortable than living in other cities in England.

Newcastle is the driest area in England. Because it is in the "rain shadow area" of the Pennines, thanks to the influence of the Mexican warm current in the North Atlantic, Newcastle has a mild climate and little rain all year round. The climate conditions are very close to those of the southern continent of Europe. Compared with the cold winter weather that is foggy and rainy all year round in other parts of England, it is like heaven.

However, Newcastle's climate advantage is not obvious in summer. If it comes to winter, this is the real paradise of England. After arriving here, English people from other places are reluctant to leave at all. They wish to buy a house in Newcastle and move here. never mind.
