Standing in front of the window of the head coach's office at the Newcastle Longton Training Base, looking at a freight train to the east, it slowly rumbling past, the front of the train is still puffing white smoke, Alan Padu's eyes With strong expectations. Mobile phone reading has *meaning * thinking * book * school * first * published
In his eyes, Newcastle seemed to be a train slowly heading towards the light.
In the past season, he led Newcastle to successfully fifth in the league, shocking the entire English football scene, and even many people are full of expectations for his future.
In the past so many years, the position of the head coach of the top-ranked teams in the Premier League, except for Ferguson, was almost monopolized by foreigners.
For example, Wenger in France, Benitez in Spain, Mourinho and Boas in Portugal, or Ancelotti and Mancini in Italy, etc.
Even Ferguson and Moyes are Scots!
The only one who can be called the local coach, who leads the team with more impressive results, is Tottenham Hotspur coach Redknapp, but he has already dropped from Tottenham.
Compared to the old coach Redknapp, Alan Padu is younger and has an advantage!
Newcastle is the most popular team among English fans. Before relegation, it was a giant alongside Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams. However, after experiencing a relegation nightmare and returning to the Premier League, the Magpies are also ambitious to revive. The glory and glory of the past.
Last season, Alan Padu let all Magpies fans see this ray of hope!
Similarly, Alan Padu himself is full of confidence and expectation for the future, he even hopes that the Premier League will come soon!
In the new season, the goal of the Magpies is to stabilize the top five in the league and hit the top four in the league!
As long as it returns to the European arena, Newcastle will have a higher stage, and Alan Padu will have a better platform!
Thinking of this, this local marshal, who was placed high hopes by countless England fans, smiled confidently.
"This time, in order to support the team's competition for the Champions League qualification, even the miser chairman Ashley agreed to give us a transfer budget of 10 million pounds. We have to think about how to spend this money!"
Alan Padu suddenly turned around and smiled at the assistants behind him.
That momentum is indeed very famous and handsome!
Especially that confidence, coupled with his good-looking male appearance, really has a somewhat convincing temperament.
"Our most important signing is the midfielder. We must complete the transfer as soon as possible!"
The head coach's instructions made the assistants nod their heads one by one and recorded them carefully.
As for the target of midfield signings, the coaching staff has already met and discussed, and everyone knows who is the target.
Newcastle today can be said to be strong and strong.
The goalkeeper is Dutch goalkeeper Tim Cruel, and the back line also has strong players such as Kolocini, David Thornton, Stephen Taylor, and the midfielders include Moussa Sissoko, Kabaye, Ben Alpha , Gutierrez and other famous players.
The forward line is also occupied by players including Papis Cisse, Dembaba, Obertan and others.
Even players like former Manchester United player Alan Smith and goalkeeper Foster were unable to gain a foothold in the Magpies and were forced to transfer.
It can be seen that Alan Padu's team strength is indeed good.
In terms of fame, Newcastle may not have many big-name stars, but in terms of strength, the Magpies definitely have a chance to compete with the Premier League stars.
The chief assistant coach John Caval nodded: "After some time, the Premier League will start. The fourth round of the Europa League qualifiers in late August. We must adjust the team at that time."
Alan Padu couldn't help nodding, "That's right, the Premier League schedule is out. The first game against Tottenham Hotspur is very important. After the game, we will play Chelsea away in the second round. We will have less pressure! "
The first game was won, the second round was away again, and it was Chelsea's. It was fine to lose.
"The schedule is very beneficial to us. We played Manchester United in the seventh round. We played at home. Although Liverpool played away in the tenth round, Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion were not strong before, and West Ham United and Swansea are at home."
On the desk of the coaching staff's office, there is a carefully crafted schedule.
As long as everyone glances at the schedule, they can immediately see the matchup situation above.
Alan Padu has been able to spend many years in the Premier League, but he is not a vegetarian.
As soon as the schedule came out, he immediately saw that Newcastle's schedule was quite favorable.
Especially in the thirteenth round of the league, a crucial decisive battle he valued most was an away challenge to Southampton!
It was his return to St. Mary's Stadium after a two-year absence!
This time, with his strong Newcastle, he must step on the St. Mary's Stadium, a shame!
"In the thirteenth round of the league, I played Southampton away. I will win this game at all costs, and I will show our momentum, followed by Stoke City, Wigan and Fuller in one go. Hm!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
At that time, Newcastle can be ranked at least in the top five, and even if the performance of the strong team is better, the top four are expected!
John Caval is well aware of the grievances between Alan Padu and Southampton, as well as the mind of the coach.
It's a rare opportunity to face to face shame, how could Alan Padu miss it?
"Show me the Southampton schedule!" John Caval said.
Soon, an assistant called up the Southampton schedule.
As a result, when the schedule came out, everyone looked dumbfounded!
"Hey, don't Southampton have an enemy with the FA?"
"is not that right?"
"That's too ridiculous, right?"
"From the first round, Manchester City, Wigan Athletic, Manchester United, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Everton, Fulham, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Swansea..."
"This is a schedule that is taught every minute to be a man!"
"Who said no? Especially in the first four rounds, meeting Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal one after another, this schedule is also devilish enough!"
"But it's also good. They are on the Christmas schedule and there is no strong team except Arsenal."
"Yes, look at the back. Starting from the twenty-four rounds of Manchester United away, the remaining fourteen rounds are quite good. There are only three teams, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, but all It's home!"
Alan Padu nodded and said: "That's the truth, but you must know that the league doesn't start well, and no matter how good the schedule is, it may not be useful. People are distracted, and it is more terrible than anything!"
As a coach with many years of experience in the Premier League, Alan Padoby knows how important the team's morale is in the long-term battle system of the league.
"However, that's fine. By the time they meet us, I'm afraid they will be exhausted!" Alan Padu laughed, as if seeing a tired Southampton.
No wonder, in the 13th round, before encountering Newcastle, Southampton was almost all the top ten teams in the Premier League, except for Aston Villa and Wigan Athletic. Among them were the giants such as Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal. There are also powerhouses like Tottenham Hotspur and Everton.
In the past two years, even West Ham United, Swansea, Fulham and other teams have been very difficult to play in the Premier League.
Thinking of this, Alan Padu couldn't help showing a cold smile.
The smile was filled with shuddering, gritted hatred.
"Yang Huan, Yang Huan, this time I must have you pay the worst price!"
…………
…………
"Hey, I said, David, don't you **** play with me?"
When Alan Padu was brewing hatred at the Longton training base and preparing for revenge, Yang Huan appeared in the Royal Box at Wembley Stadium in London, staring at the poor old English man in front of him with dissatisfaction. .
That posture is almost like throwing the FA Chairman David Bernstein directly from the stands.
David Bernstein's face was covered in cold sweat and his back was soaked.
The whole world knows that whoever offends this young master Huan will be unlucky.
"Master Huan, how dare I? Don't you?"
"Don’t you dare? Niangxipi’s, go through the schedule by yourself and look inside. What kind of bird schedule did you arrange for us Southampton? Ah, I met three giants in the first four rounds. Have you wronged you?"
Yang Huan dared to call wrong when he heard this old boy, and there was a fire.
Prince William, who was sitting aside, was not very happy anymore.
"David, if you really do it like this, you are a bit unkind, and you are all friends!"
David Bernstein was depressed, and he dared to slap his **** on the horse's leg.
"Master Huan, Your Royal Highness, I have difficulties!"
"Difficulties?" Yang Huan was taken aback, "OK, you say, what are your difficulties?"
As he said, he made a gesture of curling up his cuffs.
It seems that he doesn't make sense, but he is going to do it directly!
Prince William is also concerned.
In their opinion, the following Community Shield Cup is not important.
Anyway, it's a Premier League outpost, a warm-up match, not much importance at all.
Moreover, no one said that whoever wins the Community Shield will lose the Premier League championship!
"As we all know, the biggest challenge of the Premier League is the schedule from Christmas to January. Many newly promoted horses, or new coaches, are all discounted to the Christmas schedule."
"Yes, so what?" Yang Huan curled his lips.
This one makes sense.
Don't look at the English League where Southampton has played for two seasons, but the Premier League championship is not at the same level as the Premier League, and even the Christmas schedule is different.
"Master Huan, go and see, besides Arsenal, are there any other strong teams in the Southampton Christmas schedule?"
Yang Huan thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and took a look.
Also, Arsenal is really not a strong team this year!
At least he is the weakest among the Premier League powers.
Let Yang Huan pick his opponent from the strong, he must pick Arsenal!
There is no other reason, the persimmon must be soft!
Wenger, don't cry for injustice, who makes you so unworthy?
"January is very important for the team that has just passed the Christmas Devil schedule, and throughout January, Southampton did not encounter Manchester United until the end of the month. That was the 24th round of the league, followed by more than a dozen league rounds. , Southampton meets a strong team at home, or meets a confident team!"
Yang Huan heard what he said, combined with a look at the schedule, it really made sense.
"My Master Huan, think about it, I don’t want to meet a strong team in the Christmas schedule. Then I must arrange the encounter with the strong team in other games. Also, it is not easy to meet the strong team later in the season. A critical moment for results."
Having said that, David Bernstein has the heart to cry.
"This is moved around, there is really no way to move it, then it can only be moved to the beginning of the season!"
When Prince William heard this, he felt that it made sense. It was not easy for others. The rules of the schedule are like this. They can only help you deal with the rules.
Can't you just arrange Southampton not to play a strong team?
Yang Huan wasn't the kind of ignorant person. When he heard what he said, he immediately understood.
The strong dialogue arrangement at the beginning of the season is indeed acceptable.
Conversely, if they are all arranged in the later stage, they may be scolded.
Besides, the Premier League is not La Liga. There are only two or three teams in La Liga that have the ability to win the championship. They will watch two or three games throughout the year. The other games are no difference.
But the competition in the Premier League is too fierce. There are so many strong teams that you have to come and go.
Thinking of this, Yang Huan also nodded.
"Okay, okay, David, don't pretend to be a **** girl, I misunderstood you, I owe you a favor!"
"Really?" David Bernstein was so wronged.
"nonsense!"
The old man hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth timidly.
"Then... can you please Young Master Huan, do me a favor?" ()
