August 12th.

Newcastle began its first preview of the 2008-09 season, sitting at home against newly promoted Bundesliga team Hoffenheim! The reason why Li Tongfan chose Hoffenheim as his opponent in the warm-up match was mainly because he bullied this team as a new Bundesliga team!

In fact, if you take a closer look at the four warm-up match teams arranged by Li Tongfan, you can find the pattern. The first warm-up match opponent and the last warm-up match opponent are both weak teams, and in the middle, Real Madrid and Inter Milan are both super strong. Team. The purpose of this choice is to enable Newcastle, which has almost replaced 90/8 of its blood, to discover weaknesses in time in games with teams of different strengths, so that Lao Li can use FM2009 to make adjustments!

However, God seems to have played a joke on Lao Li!

Because Hoffenheim does not seem to be a weak team.

Less than 3 minutes into the game, the visiting team Hoffenheim scored. Eduardo, the Brazilian attacking midfielder from the newly promoted Bundesliga team, made an imaginative through ball. Bosnia and Herzegovina forward Vidad Ibisevic countered offside before Newcastle's young center back Sakho turned around and shot into the far corner of the goal...

1:0!

Lao Li stood on the sidelines and was shocked!

Because Li Tongfan did not use FM2009 to predict this game, and the players sent out were all newly joined players——

Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and David Thornton appeared at the right back position, Mamadou Sakho and Steven Taylor partnered at the center back, the left back was Yuri Zhirkov, and the midfielder Fernando -Gago, wings Juan Mata and Marcelo, attacking midfielder Pastor and front line Michael Owen partnered with Hernan Crespo!

Originally, Lao Li thought that although newly-joined players accounted for most of the spots in today's lineup, there were indeed many disadvantages such as lack of coordination... However, all the players on the field were either famous in European football or famous all over the world. Love or up-and-coming famous people, integrating the uniform with a team like Hoffenheim should be a piece of cake, right?

Unexpectedly, not only did the opponent score first after the opening, but based on the performance of the "Blue Army" after the goal, Crazy Li Newcastle was unexpectedly exhausted by the opponent's gorgeous and surging offensive!

Hoffenheim's playing style made Li Tongfan's eyes shine. If you ignore the blue uniforms worn by the players, Li Tongfan even thought that the team appearing at St. James Park was Arsenal... what the hell Are they really an unknown Bundesliga newly promoted team?

At this moment, Li Tongfan felt as if he wanted to pinch a soft persimmon but instead pinched a hard stone!

In the stands.

Fifty-three thousand four hundred and twenty-one ardent Newcastle fans turned St. James' Park into a terrifying hell for the visiting team. As soon as the Hoffenheim players took the ball, the boos like a storm never stopped, but Such a formation obviously cannot frighten the opponent on the lawn!

In the 22nd minute of the game, Hoffenheim, who was beating Newcastle hard, scored again!

Chinese defensive midfielder Chu Zhongtian, who just joined the Bundesliga team this summer, made an incredible back-heel knock through Newcastle's defense, which was still in the running-in period, and then the tall Hoffenheim forward No. 19 Ibisevic shot ahead of Sakho and Steven Taylor...

2:0!

With the Newcastle fans stunned, the Hoffenheim players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with their head coach Rangnick...

Courtside.

This time, Li Tongfan no longer worried about the final score, it was just a friendly match... As early as two years ago, he had lost several friendly matches when he was coaching Real Madrid, so even if he lost this game, it would be useless to crazy Li Zhan. His illustrious reputation has no influence!

What really interests Li Tongfan is why an unknown team that has just been promoted to the Bundesliga is so strong? In the past 20 minutes, Li Tongfan carefully observed Hoffenheim's technical and tactical play and the strength level of each player. The more he watched, the more surprised he became, because whether it was the team or the player's personal ability, everything was fundamentally different. It’s not the standard that a newly promoted Bundesliga team should have...

Thinking of this, Lao Li's face once again put on a smile that seemed like a successful prank, because the Mensao Man was sure that if the big brothers of the Bundesliga didn't take this team seriously, maybe the small team Hoffenheim would be there. The upcoming 08-09 season will shock the whole world!

Old Li had an idea and found another good attention to show off!

…

Ninety minutes later, Newcastle, sitting at home, finally lost the game 2:3.

In the 44th minute of the game, Hoffenheim relied on Chinese midfielder Chu Zhongtian's header to extend the score to 3:0. In the second half, Newcastle, who finally found a sense of coordination, played more and more smoothly. Argentine center Herlan Clay Spoelstra received a transfer from Juan Mata in the 68th minute of the game and scored his first goal after joining the Magpies...

In the 84th minute, 17-year-old Argentinian midfielder Javier Pastore sent a free kick created by Owen directly into the Hoffenheim gate...

2:3!

This was a score that no one expected before the game. Even the German media did not expect that the rural team that had just been promoted to the Bundesliga could actually overturn the crazy Li who dominated the European heroes in an away game!

"...To be honest, this ending surprised me, because before the game, the players and I were aiming for a 10-0 or higher victory, but Hoffenheim used their own strength to win. Earned my respect... I bet Mr. Rangnick and his team will be able to shock the whole world in the upcoming season... Well, maybe they can create a miracle!"

This was Crazy Li’s “failure speech” at the post-match press conference!

But no one seriously thought about the meaning of Li Tongfan's words, and no one seriously examined the true strength of Hoffenheim, which took away an unexpected victory at St. James Park Stadium, whether it was the media or the fans. , all focused more attention on Crazy Li’s loss!

Flores, the former editor-in-chief of World Sports Newspaper who had already developed a deadly feud with Li Tongfan, lost no time in jumping out——

"Can Hoffenheim shock the world? Ha, this is the most ridiculous joke I have ever heard in this century... The reason why Madman Li is so tall is not for a rural team that has just been promoted from the Bundesliga to the Bundesliga. Distract the attention of the media... In fact, we can completely see from this game that Crazy Li is not as invincible as people think, at least Mr. Rangnick, the coach of the newly promoted Bundesliga team, has done this..."

Although the grievances between Flores and Madman Lee have long been known to the world, and these remarks may not be without the suspicion of personal revenge and adding insult to injury, they still aroused the approval of some media from other countries outside of England.

Because, in terms of human nature, people are willing to witness the rise of a myth as a bystander, but at the same time, they are more willing to bury this myth as a participant! Fortunately, because of the success of the 2008 European Cup, England has maintained its trust in Crazy Li!

"The Sun" specifically conducted a fan trust survey after the failure of Newcastle's friendly match against Hoffenheim, and the result was undoubtedly-

Crazy Lee's support among Newcastle fans has not dropped by even one percentage point, but it seems to be continuing to rise...

…

Newcastle Riggbottom Training Base!

Obviously, the external media fanning the flames did not affect the enthusiasm of Li Tongfan and the Newcastle players in preparing for the new season. The team's morning training was carried out easily amidst laughter and laughter. Outside the barbed wire fence of the base, media reporters from various newspapers and enthusiastic Newcastle fans swarmed...

Tomorrow afternoon at 16:00, Newcastle will face the Galacticos Real Madrid at St. James Park at home, so the players are very active in training!

This will be a game destined to attract the attention of the world!

Crazy Li will face the team he once coached and created a myth as an enemy for the first time!

And even if this is removed, there are still countless dirty tricks in this extraordinary friendly match!

Because, whether it is Real Madrid's huge reputation or the past between Crazy Lee and Real Madrid, all these are reasons to attract the world's attention to this friendly match. By this time, the media had no longer speculated on how Li Tongfan successfully invited the Galacticos to Newcastle when La Liga was about to kick off in more than ten days. More attention was devoted to crazy Li Tongfan. Real Madrid will meet again as enemies and the feud between German Schuster and Madman Lee in the 06-07 season!

As we all know, when Schuster was still the head coach of Getafe, he complained to the media reporters that Crazy Li had taken away his job, which made Crazy Li furious. In the end, he defeated Hertha with a huge score in two rounds. Fei...

Tomorrow, can Schuster, who has fulfilled his wish to become the coach of Real Madrid, sweep Newcastle, who just lost to a country team, at St. James' Park and avenge his previous humiliation?

…

For Li Tongfan, the friendly match with Real Madrid does have special meaning.

So compared to being unprepared against Hoffenheim, Lao Li did a lot of hard work this time. Every newly joined player was surprised and excited to receive the training plan formulated by "boss" Li Tongfan according to their respective positions and technical characteristics the day before...

Among all the new players introduced, Ronaldo's weight problem and Marcelo's recovery problem after experiencing a serious injury in Real Madrid were all put first by Lao Li! Judging from the results of observations in the past few days, Marcelo's status problem cannot be solved urgently through training. It is necessary to use the FM2009 system. As for Ronaldo...

Lao Li decided to force the fat man to lose weight! ——
