Chapter 244: Shut up!

"Luther, how do you feel?" Xiao Ming sat down in front of Fanny's bed in the local hospital in Leiden, and then asked with concern.

"Very good, boss, I don't think there will be any problem." Fanny moved his upper body and then looked at Xiao Ming with expectant eyes: "Boss, I can actually not have surgery, and I will recover in a few weeks."

"Stop talking stupidly, Luther, I won't let the player play football on the court with an injured leg... You know my attitude. The physical condition of the players reported by the team doctor and physical coach is one of the factors that I choose the starting lineup. Don't forget that Leiden East is a strong team, not a team that can only rely on eleven people to play football... Don't worry, Davao and Robbie can fill your position well. What you have to worry about is whether you will lose the main position after the injury is healed - are you afraid of their competition?" Xiao Ming deliberately said.

Fanny laughed: "Of course not! My main position cannot be taken away by others! Davao is old after all, Robbie is still young, and their characteristics are different from mine, so I don't worry."

"That's right, but we will let the ball roll on the ground more during this period." Xiao Ming patted Fanny's shoulder: "You can also think about what you should do on the court when the crossing decreases. Recover your injuries. For me, three forwards are not enough. If you are in poor condition after your injury is healed, I will buy another forward to come back during the winter break."

Faced with Xiao Ming's threatening encouragement, Fanny felt it was very helpful and grinned.

After leaving the ward, Xiao Ming began to figure out how to arrange the lineup in the next league. After being tied in the last game, Leiden East was not bad. Arsenal and Aston Villa also tied with their opponents, while Liverpool unexpectedly lost to Watford with a small goal. On the contrary, Manchester United surpassed Leiden East with a goal difference advantage after two consecutive games, and Leiden East ranked second.

The next opponent Newcastle started very badly. After losing to Southampton in the last away game, Newcastle had already lost three consecutive times. Gulit has lost everyone's trust. Even at home, Leiden East has a great chance of winning.

However, Xiao Ming did not dare to take this game lightly. The last game had given him enough vigilance. If the mouse was anxious, he would bite the cat. A weak team like Coventry, who relegated every year, would burst out with huge energy after a bad start, let alone a strong team like Newcastle that has achieved brilliant achievements in the past few seasons?

Moreover, although Hiller did not score goals in the first two rounds of the league, the last game had already broken his goal drought. Once a super shooter like this finds the feeling of scoring, the goal will never stop immediately. At this moment, the most indispensable person on the Leiden Eastern front line was injured.

"Luckily, we had already practiced this situation during the training camp before the season." Xiao Ming thought, touching his chin.

Whether it is the technical and point-grabbing combination of Suk and Phillips, the speed and point-grabbing combination of Keane Jr., or even the technical acceleration combination of Suk and Phillips, they have been practiced more than once in the team's confrontation, just to prevent Fanny from getting injured or suspended, because among the team's several forwards, Fanny can be said to be the only person who can partner with everyone. It is precisely because of this that the more you need to practice tactics when Fanny cannot play.

Fortunately, the draw in the last game did not affect the team's morale and the fans' confidence in the club, which also allowed Leiden East to go to St. James' Park Stadium without any worries.

Xiao Ming's concerns are not wrong. After suffering the team's worst three-game losing streak in Premier League history, although Gulit's coaching position was shaky and he also lost the support of the players in the team, Newcastle still burst into a very outstanding state at his home court.

Hiller opened the first record for Newcastle three minutes after the opening. The iconic England striker broke through the goal of Leiden East through a powerful shot from the top of the arc of his iconic penalty area. Deselli, who was filling up, was unable to block the ball, and Jasqueline's save was also slower.

Newcastle's offense was very simple, without a trace of "sexy football" in it, returning to the traditional British long pass rush - both sides kept raising high balls into the penalty area, creating opportunities through the impact of Scottish high centers Duncan Ferguson and Hiller. This kind of technically unproportioned style is still quite powerful when the players are willing to fight to the death. Although the two central defenders of Leiden East are also tall and strong, they are really a little unstoppable for a while.

However, soon, Leiden East reversed the unfavorable situation through the advantage of the midfield. Today, the four people in Leiden East's midfield were Jin Kraze, Mark Lele, Boban and Gerald. Gerald appeared at the right-hand position of the midfield, replacing Glenshare. Boban moved forward and took turns organizing with Jin Kraze, creating opportunities for Suke and Phillips in the front.

In this fast-paced offense and defense, Suke began to feel a little uncomfortable again. With his skills, he could have a good effect even when facing intensive defense. However, in this case, he could only share the pressure for Phillips through his own experience and involvement.

Even in this situation, Leiden East still tied the score. Phillips caught the opponent's mistake, intercepted the opponent's defender's return pass, and then hit the ball against Ji Wen, who was attacking, tied 1-1.

However, Newcastle, who had been willing to do so, became more and more courageous in the next game. Peruvian midfielder Solano's long-range shot was called a world-wave. Before the end of the first half, Newcastle's second score made St. James Park Stadium a sea of ​​joy!

Xiao Ming made a desperate bet and replaced two people in a row. Keen Jr. replaced Suk, who was not good at performing well. Sun Jihai replaced Boban, who was somewhat exhausted. Garney pushed the frontcourt to play the left forward, and the heavy responsibility of organizing the offense was placed on Jinkraze. This change of move really achieved immediate results. First, Daniel, who had assisted, received the pass from Jinkraze and then took a long shot to force Jiwen to escape. Phillips pushed the ball to the other side before Jiwen got the ball. Keen Jr. who came on the bench dribbled the ball and crashed into the net. Then when the whole game was about to end, it was Jinkraze's assist. Garney scored a long shot from the arc outside the penalty area, and while scoring his first goal at Leiden East, he also tied the score!

Relying on the sudden effort in the second half, Leiden East brought back a point from St. James Park Stadium. If it were before the game, they would not be satisfied with this point, but considering that the point recovered was two goals behind, it was enough to satisfy people.

Before he could take a breath, Leiden East immediately ushered in the away game against Everton. Jankoler performed well in his new club and started every game. Although he only scored one goal, his height and impact force increased Everton's front-court offense a lot.

Players always work very hard when facing their old clubs - just like Etoo in later generations became the nemesis of Real Madrid - so is Jankoler. Although he was not loaned everywhere in Leiden East and directly deprived him of his power to play, as a national player of the Czech national team, one of the current European strong teams, he can only get the starter of the cup and the substitute in the league in Leiden East. He is definitely dissatisfied. Although he will not speak harshly to Leiden East, he will definitely have the intention of letting Xiao Ming see that he is absolutely capable of playing the main player in Leiden East...

When I was in my team, I didn't think it was, but when Jankoler really became an opponent, he would notice how much threat a center with a height of 2 meters and 2 meters, an extremely good impact and a little skilled foot would pose - especially when the opponent concentrated on hanging high balls from two sides.

In the first half, Jankoler helped the young forward Jeffers start the first record through a ferry. Leiden East once equalized the score with Keane Jr., but soon after Jankoler personally surpassed the score again. In order to defend Jankoler, Hypia received a yellow card, but still could not stop the furious human-shaped beast from raging on the court.

Originally, Leiden East had a chance to equalize the score, but soon Boban sprained his ankle and was forced to leave the field. Boban's fate made Leiden East lose the organizer. Xiao Ming used his usual tricks to send Karaze to play the left back. Garney moved forward and Jinkraze was responsible for the organization. However, after he made this substitution, something worse happened.

Hypia received the second yellow card while defending Jankole and was sent off. Xiao Ming, who had used up three substitutions, could only be glad that he had replaced Karaze instead of Sun Jihai. Karaze performed well in the position of the center back. So the formation that had just changed made another change. Karaze returned to the middle lane, and Garney retreated, leaving only three players in the midfield...

It was precisely because of the tactical chaos of Leiden Oriental that Everton expanded the score to three-to-one, and veteran Kevin Campbell's goal allowed Everton to secure the victory. Although Phillips scored his fifth goal in five league games before the end of the game, he still could not stop Leiden Oriental from losing the first game of the season.

Leighton Oriental, which fell to eighth place, immediately ushered in the challenge of Chelsea, now ranked second at home. After three rounds of defeat, public opinion has completely turned to Chelsea. It believes that although Leighton Oriental performed well in the first two rounds of the league, the recent game has exposed their weaknesses. What is missing Fanny's frontcourt has lost support points, and their defense has always been in trouble. They have to concede at least one goal in each game. What is the chaotic midfield organization, Boban is already behind, Xiao Ming's recruitment before the start of the season, and sold it for a mere 5 million pounds, but he bought a outdated Suk...

At the roundtable of Premier League owners, Bates also laughed at Xiao Ming normally. During the previous roundtables, Leiden Oriental's results were in a prestigious manner. He firmly suppressed Chelsea in the league. After Chelsea was eliminated from the Winners Cup, he also won the Winners Cup championship and defeated Chelsea and got the ticket to the Championship Cup. Bates had to shut up, and this time he finally got a chance.

"The FA has made some shameful teams participate in the Champions League to discredit the honor of the Premier League! Even a team that lost four games can score points on them, and they can still play in the Champions League? Oh, I heard that they are in the same group with AC Milan? I hope they don't lose so much that they don't even lose their pants..." Bates laughed loudly next to the round table, his voice harshly like a night owl.

Xiao Ming sneered and was about to refute, but the other person stepped forward first.

"Newcastle Farmer from the Countryside" (Bates's) Shepard thrust the red wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, making a loud noise.

"Who the hell are you talking about?" Shepard stared at Bates with red eyes because of the stimulation of alcohol, as if he was about to eat the Jew.

After five league games, Newcastle lost four games, only scored one point on Leiden East. Bates's words were originally to mock Xiao Ming, but he offended Newcastle, although he subconsciously said that he looked down on Newcastle because he had been mocking Shepard as a country farmer.

Shepard was in a very bad mood. It is well known that he didn't like this boss' roundtable who didn't do anything serious all day long. In this circle, although Newcastle had good grades in the past few years, he still had no status. Every time he came to this roundtable, he had to drink continuously until three hours passed.

"Is it afraid of people saying that if I have poor grades?" Bates refused to lose face in front of this country bumpkin whom he has always looked down upon.

"Okay, Bates, your team is only three points ahead of my team. In the next game, we will be on top of you." Xiao Ming sneered: "Do you want to make a bet? If my team can't win your Chelsea in the next game, then I will run naked from Brisbane Road to your stadium-if I win, you can run naked from Brisbane Road back, okay?"

Bates was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Ming's words continued: "Don't be afraid that I will not keep my word. When I go out, we will announce this to all the reporters. If anyone doesn't keep his word, he will have no face to stay in London - how about it?"

"I'm not doing such boring things." Bates' tone was still very rushing, but it had softened - Xiao Ming is a young man, and even in a conservative country in Britain, it seems that he is not a big deal to run naked, and an old man in his seventies does such a thing, and he won or lost.

"Okay, OK." David Dane came out to smooth things out: "It's just a game. Is there any team that won't encounter difficulties? Let's talk about serious things."

...

After the roundtable, Shepard seemed to have not yet calmed down and walked out of the door first. However, when Xiao Ming walked out of the door, he saw Shepard waiting for him at the door.

"Xiao, it was so good that you won the game in that hell last season. That damn Jew... I'll kill them this time! I'll win!" Shepard's eyes were red and his face was red. He almost shouted these words in a low voice.

"I can do it, Fur." Xiao Ming patted Shepard on the shoulder: "Newcastle has not been in good shape recently, has poor grades, and it is not OK to speak loudly."

"We have started contacting Mr. Robson and let that Dutchman get out of here!" Shepherd shouted.

"Okay, let's work together. Actually, I like Newcastle's team very much, especially Hiller." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

On August 28, the sixth round of the Premier League.

Brisbane Road Stadium cheered like a tsunami, and Gerald took out the ball from the goal and immediately turned around and ran back.

Xiao Ming made three fingers on the sidelines, and the other hand waved hard - the draw was not enough, what I wanted was three points!

"Oh, like the fourth round, Leiden East equalized the score at the last moment of the game... But their boss Xiao Ming seemed not satisfied with the result. He asked his players to attack again and scored three points!"

The Chelsea players were a little confused. In the first half, they relied on Zora's free kick to start the first record, and in the 89th minute, Gerald equalized the score with a long shot. Then they started a crazy press after re-activated!

"Marklai successfully intercepted the ball! He intercepted the ball in the frontcourt! This is the first time... pass... Jinklaze broke through, Dehuye attacked, Jinklaze shot! Oh! The ball was blocked by Dehuye's thigh and flew back to the penalty area... Look, who is that? Heading up the ball! Goal! Kevin - Phillips! The sixth goal in the six-round league! Phillips' condition is simply amazing! Leiden East created a miracle! They scored the winning goal in the injury stoppage time! The whole stadium was boiling! After three rounds of defeat, Leiden East seemed to finally win! If they still want to enter the Champions League, Chelsea will be one of their important competitors. This victory is really important!"

Bates in the box opened his mouth wide. In the first eighty-eight minutes of the game, he regretted why he didn't agree to Xiao Ming's bet, but now he was glad that he didn't make a bet with Xiao Ming - an old guy in his seventies crossed the entire London district from Brisbane Road to Stamford Bridge, which would cause him a heart attack.

"This should make you shut up? Bates! Don't think you will catch any chance to laugh at me. As long as the league is not over and your Chelsea is not pressed on me, you shut up!"
Chapter completed!
