Chapter 634 Devil's Schedule: Bird Shooting ([-])

Newcastle is a seaport city located in the northeast of England. Its full name is "Newcastle upon Tyne" (NewcastleuponTyne). It is the capital of Tyne and Wear and one of the most popular cities in England in the 20th century.The world-renowned Newcastle University is located in the city center, which is also the core city of England and the cultural, educational, technological and political center of Northeastern England.

Newcastle people are nicknamed "Highlanders". This name comes from the name George (George). The loyalty of the Newtowners to King George II of Hanover in the rebellion of 1745; another theory is that the Tyne miners were grateful and favored by George Stephenson, who invented the mine safety lamp, and were named after the "Highlanders". The title is used to commemorate this great inventor.

In the past 100 years, the Highlanders considered two buildings to be the pride of the city.One is the world-renowned Tyne Bridge. This majestic and graceful bridge is one of the landmark buildings of the city, attracting tourists from all over the world to come here and be proud of stepping on this bridge; while the other , It is the St. James' Park Stadium that they have loved for 130 years.

Founded in 1881, the Newcastle United football team may not be the most successful club in British football, nor is it the club with the most honors, but it is definitely the most popular club in England, not one of them.They have always had the most fans in England.St. James' Park, located in the East End of Newcastle, is also one of the most famous stadiums in England and the world.

St. James' Park Stadium, which can accommodate 52500 people, has witnessed the prosperity and decline of Newcastle in the past 100 years-they have won 4 English top league titles, 6 FA Cup titles and 1 Champions of the UEFA Cup.These eleven golden championship trophies made Newcastle a well-deserved giant team in England and even European football at that time.And this team has produced many football superstars in history: Peter Beardsley, Paul Gascoigne, Andy Cole, Kevin Keegan, Alan Shearer... this one All the names that make the world football look up to him have played for this great club.

However, when the time entered the mid-21s, due to the economic crisis caused by the poor management of the club, and the retirement of the old pillar players, Newcastle, which was called "Magpie" by the fans, began to experience the biggest in team history. During the dark period, they struggled to stay in the top league every year, but in the 80-1996 season, the Magpies were still relegated miserably.

Magpie also has another meaning in Europe, that is, "phoenix".Newcastle, which was down and relegated, found a new life in distress like a phoenix. The pain of relegation made them firm up their determination to return to glory. It took only one season, under the leadership of the team's new head coach Kevin Keegan The situation has changed rapidly and returned to the top league.

However, Newcastle, which has returned to the top league, has not returned to its former glory. During the 1997 years from 2009 to 12, the Magpies were still in a state of confusion, and their performance has been fluctuating, just like sitting on an elevator. Wandering back and forth between the top and first division, and after another relegation in the 08-09 season, the club is determined to give the team a new look. They invited Alan Pardew, who has rich coaching experience, and introduced Kolo Outstanding veterans such as Chini and Guerrez, and a group of young England talents such as Alan Smith, Foster and Ameobi began to provoke the mainstay. The young Newcastle returned to the top after one season league.

This is the beginning of Newcastle's arduous road to recovery. After returning to the Premier League, they achieved eighth in the league in the second season, and they are only one step away from returning to the European arena.In the 2010-2011 season, before the season, Newcastle introduced Ben Arfa, Thornton, Obertan, Demba Ba and other talented players with good strength and reputation. By the end of the season, they occupied the seventh place in the league in one fell swoop. Qualified for the UEFA Cup.

In the eleven Premier League games at the end of the new season, Newcastle has six wins, three draws and two losses, ranking seventh in the league with 21 points.This result is neither good nor bad, but considering that Newcastle has already played against Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool, and in the encirclement and suppression of the three giants, Newcastle's strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

In the European arena, Newcastle's performance is also quite good.In their UEFA Cup group D, Zenit St. Petersburg, Alkmaar and Benfica are all leaders in their respective leagues. The slightly weaker team is Skonto from the Latvian League, but Skonto was also last season. The runner-up of the Latvian League is also quite good.In such a terrifying death group, Newcastle surprisingly achieved three wins and two draws in the five rounds of the group stage, accumulating 11 points, remaining unbeaten, ranking first in the group, and qualifying from the group is almost certain fact.

In this case, Tottenham will go to St. James' Park to play against Newcastle, whose morale and state are at their peak, which makes many Tottenham fans worried about the team's trip.Although they don't think Newcastle is capable of defeating the Assassins led by Mo Fei at home, it is not easy for Tottenham to win. Tottenham are likely to fall into a bitter battle at St. James' Park.

Before the game, many football experts and beasts jumped out to express their expectations for the Magpies: "Newcastle has re-emerged today. Although they have not yet achieved convincing results, their strength is beyond doubt. Tottenham is hot. It will be very difficult for Spurs to get three points at St. James's Stadium. If they can't give 100% of their strength, they will probably suffer away. Of course, if Tottenham lose to Newcastle To a certain extent, it is a good thing. The current Tottenham have become so perverted that they are about to break through the atmosphere and enter outer space. If no team can stop their progress, then the Premier League, the world's largest league, will What qualifications does a league without competition and fierce confrontation have to attract the attention of fans all over the world if it loses its spectacle?"

"Newcastle United have been a major force in English football for over 100 years. Yes, they are a great team, and they have carried the glory with them from day one. I believe Such a team with such a glorious history and heritage can achieve the results they want. Tottenham are very strong and it seems difficult to beat them, but the charm of football lies in its unpredictability. At St James' Park , Newcastle is the only protagonist, I firmly believe that they can overcome their opponents and win!"

Manchester City coach Mancini sent an encouraging voice to Newcastle United when he was interviewed by reporters.The current mood of the famous Italian coach can be described as trembling. Although his team still tops the league table, Tottenham, who followed closely behind, used a wave of nine-game winning streak to bite With them, the gap between the two teams is only three points. If one is not careful, Manchester City will be pulled down by Tottenham.Now he really hopes that there is a team that can stop Tottenham's crazy winning streak, so that his team can have a breather, so that they don't have to face huge pressure like they are now.

"Tottenham have announced their re-emergence with one victory after another, and Newcastle, who are on the road to recovery, want to prove themselves, then they must make actual results. Yes, I mean They have to beat Tottenham, only then can they prove they are better than Tottenham!"

Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson resorted to the "aggressive method".After experiencing the downturn at the beginning of the season, his team has great stamina and has gradually reached the top six in the standings from the bottom of the league.But this is not enough. If Manchester United still wants to maintain a strong competition for the league title, they must pray for the crazy winning streak of Manchester City and Tottenham to slow down while winning consecutive victories.After all, they performed too badly in the early stages of the league. The starting point was much lower than that of Tottenham and Manchester City, 9 points and 6 points behind the two teams respectively.This gap does not seem to be big, but the closer to the later stages of the league, the more fatal the gap is. There is no team in the world that will never make mistakes, and Manchester United is the same. If they make mistakes, then the opponent will lose more points. Opponents make mistakes, but they have the opportunity to make up for it.And this back and forth has put Manchester United at a disadvantage in the championship battle.Therefore, the Scottish coach is extremely eager to have a team that can hold back Tottenham's progress.

The current head coach of Newcastle, Alan Pardew, is an extremely wise and stubborn coach. He did not respond to the words of "encouragement" from these giants. He neither expressed Newcastle's determination to win, nor expressed his team's confidence. Insufficient remarks.He is very clear about what these giants are planning. It is nothing more than using Newcastle as a robbing agent. Although Newcastle really wants to work hard for victory, but letting other people criticize and point fingers in front of him, no matter how good-tempered people are. accurate.

When the silver-white-haired England old man faced the reporter's camera lens, he said: "I know exactly what my team wants, and I know what they are thinking. Newcastle is As a team of Magpies fans all over the world, we have our own ideas and our own persistence. We will play the game in our own way instead of letting a group of crows chatter in our ears. The strength of Tottenham is very strong. Strong, they are a team that can make any team pay enough respect. We will go all out, this is our way of paying respect to the strong!"

Tottenham coach Redknapp responded to Alan Pardew's remarks: "I am very grateful to Coach Alan for his evaluation of us. Newcastle is also a great team full of respect. Mr. Ala's thoughts and I coincide with each other Hey, this is just an ordinary league, what we have to do is to join hands to dedicate a wonderful game to the fans all over the world, instead of getting involved in some non-existent things.”

The singing of the two coaches shut up all the guys who were clamoring to exaggerate the horror atmosphere of the war before—both parties made cynical voices, and if they rushed forward without knowing what to do, wouldn't they be asking for trouble? ...

And a week later, the bus carrying Tottenham players set off from London and slowly drove to Newcastle, a city in the northeast of England.

In the evening, they will face the hosts here at the city's St. James' Park - "Magpies" Newcastle United!
