Do whatever you want [football]

Chapter 155

Randall was not faced with multiple-choice questions.

The day after the FA Cup match with Manchester United, he will usher in the match against Middlesbrough, which is the 28th round of the league.

How many rounds are there in the Premier League?

38 rounds.

At present, Newcastle is still 12 points ahead of Manchester United. If the league is stabilized and this difference is maintained, Newcastle will win the championship 4 rounds in advance in the best case!

It's like winning the championship one month in advance!

Although Ferguson has repeatedly emphasized that they have not given up the league, in fact everyone knows that as long as Newcastle does not make catastrophic mistakes, Randall will never repeat the mistakes of Kevin Keegan!

And the reason why Landauer is not facing a multiple-choice question is because even if he doesn't want to rotate, he has no capital!

Looking at their injury list and looking at the report submitted by the team doctor, Randall's heart is gloomy. It's not because of the FA Cup exit, but because he can think that after losing this game, Ferguson will be proud of himself!

Allegri couldn't comprehend Randall's pain -

It's okay to lose, but not to Ferguson. What's the point?

Alan Shearer, the vice-chairman of writing and the mascot, poked at him and whispered, "He wants to be Ferguson's darling, but he lost to him. The old man fell in love with Mourinho. What should he do?"

Allegri: "..."

If the person in front of you is not the vice chairman, he will be sprayed, will he speak, Randall is now suspected of being asexual, okay, you are still adding fuel!

But Allegri admitted that it seems to be for this reason.

On February 2, after seeing Newcastle's starting lineup, Ferguson, who led the team as a guest at St. James' Park, cursed a few words, you little bastard!

The reason why Ferguson lost his composure was that Randall vowed at the pre-match press conference a day ago that he would maintain his unbeaten record against Ferguson and not fall behind Mourinho. Ferguson really thanked him.

The results of it?Feint!

The starting goalkeeper is their three goalkeeper Navas. Others may not be familiar with this name, but can Ferguson be unfamiliar with the Costa Ricans?This is his guarantor, and the relationship he helped find with the Football Association allowed this kid to successfully obtain a labor permit.

The defense was Capdevila, Ameobi, Nesta and Ramage.The Brazilian right back Maicon, who made Randall soar in "The Superstar Arrives", took a break.

The configuration of the midfield is the reason why he scolded Randall!

Bale, Toni Kroos, Alan Smith, Parker, Solano, Lewandowski.

Among the 6 players in the midfield, Parker is the main player!

Randall bragged to him off the court for two days, and finally came up with such an amazing rotation!This kid was so mad at him!

But although he was a little angry, Newcastle's large rotation was tantamount to taking the initiative to admit defeat to Ferguson, which made him calm down a little, staring at the starting roster and pondering.

It is also a three-line battle, and Ferguson brought most of the main players today.

Here we must thank the Argentine Football Association. They obviously did not take a fancy to Manchester United's top scorer Milito. Otherwise, with Rooney's scoring shortage and Saha's glass attributes, even if he has 7 strikers in his hand, he still has to worry about the striker.

At the moment, Randall is signing autographs for fans in St. James' Park. On the home game day, he usually takes about 20 minutes to sign autographs for the home team fans who enter the stadium early, and chat with them.

But today he didn't have a chance to chat with everyone, because everyone was busy bragging about him.

Blow it to your face!

"Randall! You are the best!"

"League champions! League champions! We will definitely be champions!"

"Randall don't like Manchester United, we Highlanders will always love you as before!"

"Let Leo and Luka recuperate~ We look forward to their early recovery from injury!"

The fans obviously didn't boast as much as his former fans, which was simply embarrassing, but the unpretentious praise still made Randall smile.

He also walked towards a small group of Chinese students at the end, all wearing Magpies jerseys.

The Spring Festival is coming, and he has to send some warmth to the compatriots of the motherland, but obviously the girls are too enthusiastic, but fortunately, the male compatriots are strong, and he escapes smoothly, which makes the home commentator take the lead in teasing him.

Randall turned down the stands smartly, and saw the players of the home team had changed their equipment and were now entering the field to warm up.

He simply watched them warm up himself, in case Ramage's tragedy happened.

This also allowed him to help them practice passing and catching the ball, and then asked Solano to kick a few free kicks to find the feeling.

At this time, the players of the visiting team entered the field to warm up, and Randall saw his male god at a glance. Of course, Ronaldo felt Randall's sight, stared at him twice, and then turned away slightly.

Randall stared at the male god with regret. He didn't know when the task of favorability with the male god would be completed. He thought that there might be no hope in the next four or five years/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~.

Not mentioning the chances of drawing cards given by the system, but just saying that you are a fan of the male god, but you are so disgusted by your own male god, really...

Although the time has entered February, every breath of the players is full of fog after warming up. Randall urged them to go back to the locker room quickly. After everyone arrived in the locker room and sat down in their positions, he took pictures She clapped her hands and said, "Do you still remember what I said at the pre-match press conference?"

The players in the locker room laughed, of course they knew what Randle said.

"A fan asked me outside just now, can we win this game. I know why, and I think you do too?" Randall looked around the locker room.

Some players already knew what Randall wanted to say, and they nodded in cooperation under his gaze.

"I don't think so. I always tell you before that there is no absolute main force in our team. I do think so, so boys, you have to fight for yourself!" Randall raised his voice , "We are going to play something different today because I want to surprise Sir Alex Ferguson in isolation. I also want the fans who came to watch this game to see something different. I want them to know that every Newcastle team A player is the best fighter!"

Allegri raised his wrist to check the time, and he found that Randall's pre-match mobilization time started earlier than usual today, which may mean that he has a lot to talk about.

It may be spiritual encouragement, or it may be tactics, of course, it may be both.

Because most of the players returning from the national team were physically exhausted, Randall gave them a day off, so in terms of tactical training, Randall directly recruited the youth team as a training partner.

At that time, it seemed that the effect was okay, but Allegri didn't know how to do it.

He looked at Randall, who had already walked to the tactical board and was surrounded by players and began to explain the tactics in detail, and listened very carefully.

Although Randall's tactical intentions have already been understood, in terms of specific details, Randall will grasp very finely, he will communicate with each player, and he has a very high level of knowledge about their running area and pass coordination. requirements.

In this game, Randall mainly played Bell.

There is no way, Maicon takes turns on the right, and Ramage can defend well, but the offense cannot be compared with the Brazilian.

Solano will return to South America for retirement at the end of this season, and he is even more incomparable with Messi. Randall's choice becomes the left.

Capdevila is relatively stable. Although he is a full-back from La Liga with both offense and defense, he is still inferior to Marcelo in terms of offense. On the left is a wide corridor, but Garp is much better in this regard.

So Randall asked Bell to charge today, and Karp played steadily. This will also reduce the pressure on the rear. After all, today's midfielder...

Cough, in fact, he has worked hard. Although Ballack, the Magic Flute and Ozil are missing, Kroos is worthy of being a young man. He has always performed well when he was a substitute for Ozil. Randall also hopes that he will be able to start today. Hold on.

As for the lack of height, he can only take one step at a time and play halftime first.

Of course, there is no good news at all. For example, Manchester United has a long list of injuries. Both Fletcher and O'Shea are injured.But we can't be too lucky, because Ferguson may send a Pu Sanfei if he disagrees...

Because most of the players are relatively young, Randall took a long time to talk to them about the general idea before the game, and then broke it down to communicate with each of them, and waited until Allegri reminded him of the time Almost, he emphasized again, "Work hard to attack and defend steadily, this is your moment!"

After the players lined up in the locker room, Randall and Allegri looked at each other.

Ah Jiong sighed, "Is the pressure on Tony too great?"

Randall shook his head, "He's a typical German player with a big heart, you can see it."

Since Tony played for Newcastle for the first time in the Champions League group stage, he has successively got some opportunities in the Carabao Cup and the league. He got a lot of playing time in the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup, and his performance was remarkable. At this point, Ballack gradually tends to be eccentric. He was recruited by U19 before, and he also performed very well in the national team competition.

Some players belong to the type of "the debut is the peak", such as Irving and Ronaldo, but Kroos can barely count as half.

Despite his young age, he is still a very good addition to the team.

When Randall and Allegri walked into the player tunnel, they found that Ferguson was already standing on the sidelines watching him. Randall took a few steps quickly, with a bright smile on his face, and saw Ferguson seeing him at the moment , the eyes...the eyes are murderous!

Of course Randall was a little guilty, but then he looked back confidently——

Even if he planned to rotate, he didn't say he would give up the game completely!I really stayed up late until my eyes were red, and then I made this lineup like a test field.

Ferguson snorted, and still didn't refuse Randall to hug him, but that didn't mean he wouldn't complain, "Sly little fox!"

Randall laughed, "You taught me well."

Ferguson: ...

Is this little bastard calling him an old fox?

Landauer saw that the old man was so angry that not only his nose was red, but his whole face was red. He wanted to use a 40-meter hair dryer to spray him, but now he was on the field, and the hair dryer had to be turned off as soon as it was turned on. He was very worried. Suffocated the old man, and patted the old man on the back lightly, giving him a smooth ride.

The players sitting on the Manchester United bench not far away looked at each other, always feeling that Ferguson was no longer the Ferguson in their minds.

If there is no mistake, Randall really became a player under the old man's command, surely the old man can spoil him to heaven, right?

Landauer, who is envied by Manchester United players, has returned to his command area, and the game is about to start. In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Andy Gray said: "We can see that Newcastle's lineup has changed a lot today. Although Landauer Paul said that he would not give up defending the FA Cup, but it was obviously smoke. Ferguson put in the best team that could be played. The reason is simple, 12 points behind Newcastle in the league, and the Champions League is still pending. With the Carabao Cup already abandoned early, if Manchester United do not want to lose all four at the end of the season, they must try their best to win this game."

This will obviously attract the scolding of Manchester United fans, who is empty of the big four?How could we all be empty!

"Newcastle's lineup today looks like a 451 position, and Toni Kroos' position is relatively late compared to before."

"As for Manchester United, because of Ferdinand's injury, Brown and Vidic partnered today. Brown has always been selected for the best team recently, but it is always as a right back. Can he be good at the center back position? We still need to wait and see, and of course we also need to look at the performance of the young Polish player Lewandowski."

Ferguson's eyes are still watching Lewandowski, Bale, Kroos and Keylor Navas.

There are 11 starting players, 4 are under 20 years old, and there is only one Lewandowski who is over 19 years old. If this game is lost, it will definitely be a very big blow to Manchester United's morale!

At this point the referee has blown the whistle to start the game.

Manchester United launched the attack first. After the opening, Manchester United almost immediately started the attack. From Milito returning the ball to Carrick, to Carrick's diagonal pass to Ronaldo, and then to Ronaldo speeding up to receive the ball, it was all smooth and smooth.

Behind Cristiano is Bell who is chasing after him, but although Bell is extremely fast, Cristiano wants to teach him a lesson, let him know that speed is not the most important thing.

Cristiano used an emergency stop and change of direction to deceive Bell, whose center of gravity was unstable, and was left behind by Cristiano.Cristiano, who was watching all directions, shook off Bell and avoided Parker's steal, leaving only Capdevila in front of him!

Cristiano continued to dribble the ball while also observing the situation, and chose to cut inside before Karp came up!

The last time Karp played against him was his debut in the Premier League. He suffered from Cristiano's dull loss as soon as he played, which made him watch that game many times after the game and did a lot of homework. The Portuguese are obviously unreasonable!

If Ameobi knew what Karp was thinking, he would definitely say to him: Come on, brother!Aren't I more unlucky?

Today's state came with a big explosion. The Portuguese went straight through Ameobi's wicket and sent the ball to Milito's feet!

Milito didn't expect that Ronaldo would be able to deliver such a sweet cake at the beginning, and the cake was delivered to his mouth. Is there any reason not to eat it?

Nesta chose to go up to grab, and Navas made a decisive attack after hesitating for a moment.

But Navas' opponent today is also an unusual striker!The Argentine was extremely calm in front of the goal. Although there was Nesta in the front and Navas in the back, he shot calmly like a cold-blooded animal and opened the scoring for Manchester United in less than 1 minute!

Cristiano rushed towards Milito the moment he shot, and the United players hugged.

Although Milito did not celebrate or reject his teammates, but at this moment, he glanced at Randall and found that he was already chanting Nesta's name.

Uh, Ronnie, can you put your hands down first?Why are you grabbing my hair, you're not Waza (Rooney), don't be jealous of my hair!

Milito scored the opening goal, and Ferguson was also very excited, but Randall's shouts attracted his attention.

He has had such a stage, let these too young players play, and always give them more care, encouragement, or scolding when they fall behind!

The reason why they seized the opportunity just now is because Ameobi made a mistake.

Ameobi was as sluggish as a frost-beaten eggplant. Nesta patted his head, taught a few words in his ear, and cared for Navas, before giving to Landau on the sidelines Erbi gestured to reassure him, stop shouting!Calling his name so hard will make him think that he is the one who made the mistake.

After the kick-off in the middle circle, Newcastle launched an attack. The offensive mode was almost the same as that of Manchester United just now, except that Manchester United used Cristiano, while Newcastle used Bell.

Cristiano, who had just received an assist, found that although Maicon and Messi were both absent, his life was still not easy, because that kid named Bell was so annoying!

Bell suffered a loss from Cristiano and wanted to get it back. After all, he was still young, but he also remembered Randall's repeated emphasis, so he could only use his own speed!

He has to run faster, faster, and let the bastard eat dirt on his ass!He better not even see his taillights!

But this made him almost take the ball out of bounds.

Irving on the bench:  …

Okay, even if you know that this kid sometimes has sharp eyes with the ball, fortunately, his feet are a little rough and his reaction speed is not slow.However, this small mistake just now gave Manchester United time to line up two lines of defense in front of the goal.

Randall must resolutely attack and defend firmly, and Ferguson obviously thinks so.

Since the fast break can't be played, we can only play positional warfare. Bell transferred the ball to Alan Smith who came to meet him. Cristiano wanted to grab the ball, and Alan immediately gave the ball to Cross.

Today Newcastle's offense was organized by Kroos. This position made him feel what Modric said to him——

"I feel that after the delay, my vision will be wider, it will be easier to sort out the offense, and I will be able to see the situation on the field more clearly."

After the experience, Tony felt that Luca was right, it was indeed a new and interesting experience.

Today Kroos enjoys the treatment that Ozil used to have. He doesn't need to participate too much in defense, which is left to others.

Allegri observed for a few minutes and found that although the situation had not yet been opened, he admitted that Randall did not overestimate Cross. He is very talented, and he belongs to the kind of talent that overflows from the talent pool. .

As for why the offense failed to open, generally speaking, it is still a matter of player cooperation.

At this moment, even Randall admits that the entire midfield has undergone a big change, and he is still playing Manchester United, if he is not mentally prepared to lose...

Allegri asked again in a low voice: "Why do I think you seem quite satisfied?"

Randall covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "We counted Karp and only played 4 main players today. Leaving aside the one goal lost at the beginning, I am actually very satisfied with how we can play like this."

Allegri: "..."

I didn't expect you to be such a Randall!I thought you really wanted to save it!

Of course Randall saw his contemptuous eyes, and he secretly wiped his tears in his heart. In fact, I also want to work hard, but the problem is that Bell still can't support the wall. Let Ribery go up to try in the second half .

Before the end of the first half, United launched a defensive counterattack from the back. Carrick found Milito with a long pass, and the Argentine ferried a header in front of the goal to Rooney.

Rooney didn't waste the pie that the Argentine sent to his mouth, and finally seized the opportunity to turn the number of goals this season into double digits with great difficulty.

Randall gave the players a psychological massage in the locker room after the first half of the game. At the same time, he replaced Bell, Ribery came on, and adjusted the formation to encourage Parker to insert.

After adjustments, Newcastle's offense in the second half immediately became much smoother, and playing around Ribery finally made Ribery play as he wished.

Ferguson stared at the Frenchman, feeling slightly regretful.

Although he wants to get Ribery, the Frenchman's position in his team is not much different from that in Newcastle, and Randall obviously will not let him go easily.

It is difficult for a top chef like Ferguson to cook without rice. Ribery is already avoiding Gary Neville's attack and sent a high-quality cross to Parker's feet behind Lewandowski!

With Lewandowski blocking Vidic, Parker shot almost comfortably. Van der Sar could only accept the result of his zero record and one less game!

Since Randall took over Newcastle until now, not only has Ferguson not won against Randall, he has not been able to complete any clean sheets against Newcastle. He can be called an enemy!

In the 68th minute of the second half, Ferguson replaced Carrick with Park Ji-sung!

Randall felt a little difficult after seeing "Park Sanfei" on the field. Ferguson was obviously not satisfied with the 2:1 lead and changed to 433.

Although Newcastle's midfield has an advantage in numbers, it lacks effective restrictions on Manchester United's midfield, which obviously makes Manchester United play quite relaxed.

Before the game entered injury time, the second half was not as active as the first half. Ronaldo received a pass from Rooney on the edge of the penalty area and succeeded in shooting from a small angle in front of the goal!

The Manchester United trident, the three pass the ball to each other, each receives a pass, everyone opens, everyone is happy!

Ferguson was even more overjoyed. Just after the game, the old man walked towards Randall quickly, opened his arms and gave him a hug, caring for the younger generation: "Go all out? Beat Manchester United? I'll wait for you at the post-match press conference! "

Randall: →_→

Well, well, he could understand the old man's excitement, so he went to comfort his lambs.

Unlike Robert who cried after losing in the English League Cup last time, Kroos also had a hard time accepting the result of the loss. The mentality of the players after this loss seems to be okay.

Randall didn't know whether it was because the Lambs were more mature, or because they were still one step away from the league championship. He spent a lot of time in the study that night reviewing the game.

After the review was over, he sharpened his knife and slammed at Bell.

This kid needs more training!

Because he didn't go to bed until close to 2 o'clock the night before, Randall got up the next day and finished the burning. When he went downstairs, he found that the children who were still studying had already rushed to school.

He was about to eat the breakfast left for him, and Ozil excitedly said to him holding a Chinese red gift box: "Boss! I'll give you a New Year's gift!"

In fact, Ozil didn't remember the date of the Chinese New Year at first, but the Rigburton training base was decorated with lights and festoons, and there were Chinese red everywhere. Of course, a careful guy like Ozil prepared gifts in advance.

Randall was a little surprised because the gift box was a bit big.

Before he took it, Ozil scratched his head and said, "I wanted to give it to you on your birthday, but I think the New Year is also very good."

He was slapped on the ass as soon as he finished speaking, and when he turned around, Cross was looking at him expressionlessly, like a traitor.

Ozil said innocently: "I just think this is suitable for the New Year."

It's not sneaking away!

As a result, three pairs of Youyou's eyes looked at him at the same time, and their eyes became "We are looking at a traitor"!

Cross said to Randall: "Boss, you have breakfast first, and I'll get the presents!"

Randall smiled and nodded, New Year's gift!He has prepared New Year's money for the lamb at home, and this wave is not a loss.

Apparently Ozil was not the only one who prepared the gift, but when Randall unwrapped it, he felt like he had lost his money——

That is a Persian rug!

After opening it, everyone said "wow", because the portrait of Randall was woven on this carpet, which was colorful.As for why the big eyes are suitable for gifting now, it is obviously because of the Chinese red around the portrait!

Randall knows that this thing is valuable at any time, even though it is only one meter long, it will take seven or eight months, so it is very likely that Big Eye customized it as a birthday present for him last year .

He thanked Ozil with a smile, and then broke down.

Compared with Big Eyes spending a lot of money, the other children prepared only New Year's gifts. Randall still happily gave each child a hug, and his mood that was originally affected by the loss also improved.

After the remaining four children were out of school, Randall began asking the children what they wanted to eat on New Year's Eve.

It must be emphasized that this year’s Chinese New Year coincides with the replay time of the FA Cup. If they draw with Manchester United yesterday, they will go to Manchester for a rematch. Naturally, there is no possibility of a holiday on this day, so this is a blessing in disguise. Fu?

"I want beef in a pot! Beef in a pot! That's delicious!" Xiaoge was the first to shout!

His taste has changed recently. It's not that he doesn't like lamb chops anymore, but he is obsessed with Landauer's pot-packed beef improved from pot-packed meat!

"Crispy salted chicken! Crispy salted chicken is delicious!"

"I want to eat fried squid, the tentacles of that squid are delicious!"

"...When you eat squid, you eat squid. Why did you mention that tentacles? It's disgusting."

"Squid is the cutest! And you don't eat less if it's disgusting!"

Randall recorded them one by one in a small notebook. Compared with last year's Spring Festival, this year's family will be much more lively.

However, before the Spring Festival, the first quarter-finals of the Champions League will be ushered in. Their opponent is the French overlord, Lyon!

Newcastle is now 2 points ahead of No.12 Manchester United, is it considered to be firmly on the championship throne?Comparing him to Jia Ang, he is like a younger brother!

Lyon currently leads the league second by as much as 16 points. If nothing else, they will continue to win the league championship this year, and this is the sixth consecutive year they have won the league championship.

However, six consecutive championships is not the limit of Lyon. Randall clearly remembers that Lyon also achieved seven consecutive championships, becoming the first team in the top league to win seven consecutive championships. It was not until 17 that Juventus chased equal this record.

The impressive results in the league also make Lyon eager for more gains in the Champions League!

Because the away game was going to be played first, Landauer led the team to Lyon two days in advance after giving the players a day off, but the intensive schedule did not give the players much rest time, so from this point of view, Landauer Doyle does not regret that he hid many main players in the FA Cup.

Also because the plan was made early, Randall considered the lineup against Lyon early.

Is Lyon good to play?

It depends on the specific formation of Lyon's current coach Houllier. Before the game is over, everything can happen on the football field.But Randall was certain early on that Houllier would only choose between 433 and 442, and because this is their home court, Lyon may have to attack with all their strength!

The coaching staff basically agreed with him. The reason why Lyon was able to lead by more than ten points was also because the trident composed of Govou, Malouda and Fred swept Ligue [-]!And it is their powerful midfield combination that delivers the shells to the Trident.

Which Ligue [-] black shop is better?

Before the Landauer crossing, of course it was Monaco!And in this era, Lyon is the king of black shops!

And the ones who make them a lot of money are all midfielders——

First, it was sold to Chelsea, allowing Mourinho to make up for Essien, the last important piece of the puzzle in the first phase of the car.Then there was Diarra, who was sold to Real Madrid.

But the reason why Lyon easily abandoned Diarra, the "White Makelele", was because they owned Tulalang!

Many fans may be unfamiliar with this name, because Tulalang has never reached the top of the top five leagues, but Tulalang is a very comprehensive player. Good performance, he is also a typical French sweeping midfielder, covering a large area of ​​activities on the court.

In addition to Toulalan, Lyon also has Thiago Mendes, a Portuguese midfielder with exquisite skills and a good overall view.

The two attack one and defend one, and with the "free kick king" Juninho Jr., if nothing else, it is basically the midfield lineup that Houllier will choose.

Randall has already prepared and is not worried about the upcoming Champions League knockout match, but he observed that the players were obviously a little too excited.

Shearer, who came with the team, obviously also observed the players' expectations for this game, and said to Randall with a smirk: "Do you have a headache? They are all eager to play in this game."

Randall glanced at the guy and shot back, "Obviously, you're the one who wants to play, too."

Shearer, who had a smirk, immediately smiled bitterly. Randall was right. This is the Champions League he has longed for. How could he not be excited after retiring for less than a year?
