In the first round of the 2008-09 Premier League season, with Ronaldo's winning goal near the end of the game, Newcastle, playing away from home, took away a victory that belonged to them from the City Stadium, while the Magpies' opponents, Manchester City, could not. Don’t accept the bitter pill of losing in the first round!

Shortly after Newcastle defeated its opponent 1:0, other Premier League games ended one after another. Newcastle ranked sixth in the standings with 3 points and a goal difference!

The Red Devils and Manchester United ranked first in the standings with Rooney and Giggs each scoring twice at Old Trafford... However, with only one round of the league past, such a ranking is not much Persuasive, newly promoted West Bromwich Albion are still in third place!

Therefore, both fans and the media have focused their attention on the debut performances of the big-name stars who joined the Premier League at high prices in this summer's transfer market!

When it comes to fame, the biggest star is undoubtedly the alien Ronaldo!

To put it into perspective, this is the first time Ronaldo, a three-time World Footballer of the Year, has joined a Premier League team. Originally, people thought that Crazy Li's introduction of Ronaldo, who had gained weight and suffered a serious decline in condition, was more to increase Newcastle's reputation on a global scale. Due to commercial considerations, in fact, Ronaldo's joining price is indeed not high...

However, aliens are aliens after all. Even if they have gained weight, they will still be aliens after all!

Ronaldo surprised everyone who was waiting to see his joke in the first round!

At the City Stadium on August 22, it was this player who was the heaviest among all 22 players on both sides who performed the most gorgeous dance steps on the green field in the first round of the 2008-09 Premier League season!

He used his superb skills to conquer his opponents on the court, and also conquered the discerning fans in the British Isles. In the first round post-match commentary on BBC Radio in England, Ronaldo moved around in the penalty area and scored that wonderful goal. Undoubtedly occupying the best goal scoring position!

In addition to Ronaldo, several other big-name transfer players have also attracted people's attention!

The right back Bosingwa, whom Chelsea spent 18 million euros to introduce, performed well in the first round. Stamford Bridge finally saw hope of making up for the Blues' only shortcoming, the right back. Deco, the midfielder who joined the Blues from Barcelona, ​​also integrated smoothly. Team tactics...

Liverpool's £20.3 million acquisition of center Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspur performed mediocrely in the first round. Benitez's expectation that the Irishman would share the pressure for Fernando Torres has not been realized for the time being!

Although Arsenal has not made any major signings this season, but has lost two generals, center midfielder Hleb and defensive midfielder Flamini. However, the opponent in the first round is a newly promoted team, so the victory is reasonable...

The most disappointing thing is of course Manchester City. After spreading the Euro, they got off to a bad start. This made many media and fans who hate rich people satisfied. After the game, head coach Mark Hughes insisted that the reason why the team failed to play at home was The key factor for Veuve Clicquot is that they lack a true heavyweight star in the team, so they once again made a signing request to the Arab boss!

Although Manchester United defeated their opponents by a big score in the first round, the center that the Red Devils Godfather dreamed of has not yet arrived at Old Trafford. Ferguson has set his sights on White Hart Lane, and Bulgarian striker Berbatov has become Old Trafford. Ford's first choice!

The European transfer market is about to close in a little more than a week. After testing their lineups in the warm-up matches, the major clubs are beginning to use the last time to make up for their respective shortcomings and make final preparations for the upcoming Manchester City season. Work!

The hottest craze is coming!

…

August 26th.

Newcastle faces Fulham in the second round of the league at home at St. James' Park!

Fulham has performed well in the Premier League in recent years, and the current protagonist Linroy Hodgson can be regarded as a very capable Premier League coach. After studying Newcastle's strength, Hodgson did not make bold claims to win like Mark Hughes, who had gained confidence after successive introductions of big-name players, but instead set up an iron barrel formation at St. James' Park...

"...A draw is the biggest reward for us. As long as we can get one from St. James Park, it is a victory!"

This was the attitude given by Hodgson when he was interviewed by reporters three days before the game.

In the first half of the game, Newcastle tried their best. Unfortunately, despite the roar of cheers from the Magpie fans in the stands, they still failed to poke a few holes in their opponents as they wished...

force--

When the halftime whistle sounded, the broadcast camera keenly captured Hodgson's satisfied smile and Crazy Lee's thoughtful expression...

"...The iron barrel formation is indeed a tactic that is a headache for any head coach in the world, because when the team devotes all its energy to defense and sacrifices offense, even if it faces a team that is stronger than them, Opponents who have beaten opponents more than ten times have a high probability of winning. Newcastle has not really matured yet. If they want to score in the next 45 minutes, they must find other ways. …”

During the halftime break, the on-site commentator was anxious to help Newcastle!

…

Fifteen minutes later.

force--

The game starts again.

Lee Tong-Bum replaced Alan Smith with Javier Pastore.

Smith is strong but not delicate enough. When facing the iron bucket formation, apart from his signature long-range shot that can slightly threaten Fulham's goal, he does not have many creative passes and clever breakthroughs, and the opponent's goalkeeper, Australian Mark Schwarzer, is obviously very good at saving high balls...

So, Alan Smith's continued stay on the field has limited effect!

Pastore is different. In addition to being proficient in long-range shots, Pastore's dribbling and free kick skills are definitely top-notch in the current Newcastle team. Lee Tong-Bum hopes that Pastore's creativity can inject new vitality into the Magpies' offense...

Sure enough, Newcastle's offense became much sharper after Pastore came on the court!

65th minute

The young Argentine player used a creative lob pass to assist his predecessor and compatriot Hernan Crespo to break the deadlock...

"...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Crespo faced the goalkeeper with a single shot...the ball went in!! Pastore's pass reminded me of Ronaldinho at his peak. It's hard to believe that he was only 18 years old!...The masterpiece of the two Argentines! Hodgson's plan to take a point away from home failed..."

The crazy screams of the on-site commentator and the applause of more than 50,000 Newcastle fans in the stands of St. James Park burned the sky red this afternoon...

Hodgson's plan did fail!

After Newcastle scored a goal, it became meaningless for Fulham to hold on. Losing one goal is a loss, losing ten goals is also a loss, and the points are zero...

So, the situation forced Fulham to fight back!

But in this way, Newcastle had more opportunities, and the game was completely in the Magpies' orbit-

70th minute.

Juan Mata took advantage of Fulham's massive pressure and made a one-on-one attack from the right. After breaking through three people in a row, he scored a powerful shot from a small angle...

2:0!

The broadcast camera swept over, and Hodgson's face was livid!

But Fulham's nightmare was not over yet-

77th minute.

In the second half, the fat Ronaldo, who replaced Crespo, received a through ball from Pastore and played Schwarzer with a pendulum-like pass before pushing the ball into the empty goal...

3:0!

85th minute.

Arshavin, the core of the Russian national team, who replaced Podolski, and his compatriots played a series of two-on-one cooperation on the wing. In the end, the "Tsar" broke through Fulham defender Penderhill and made a cross. Michael Owen, the top scorer of Newcastle last season, scored his first goal in the 08-09 season at the back post...

4:0!

Force——

The whistle sounded, the smoke of the 90-minute battle dissipated, Newcastle swept the opponent 4:0 at home, and harvested the team's second victory of the new season!

…

After the game, whether it was popular or not, the comments of the media arrived as expected!

In the first two rounds of games, except for Moussa Sissoko and Gago who had not yet got a chance to play, the new players who joined in the summer transfer showed their strength to the fans——

Except for the amazing Ronaldo who scored 2 goals as a substitute in two rounds, the other race Maklele has been in the Premier League for a long time. Although his performance is far from the peak period, the Frenchman's rich experience still injected hardness into the Magpies' midfield. The performance of the German young player Khedira in the defensive midfielder position was eye-catching and quickly conquered the fans of St. James Park!

In addition, the two Russians, "Eastern European Ronaldinho" Zhirkov and "Czar" Arshavin, definitely exceeded the expectations of the media and fans. The arrogant English gentlemen were originally full of doubts about the football of the "barbaric Russians", but it seems that these two guys still have real skills...

There are two players who did not perform as expected-

The first is German international Lucas Podolski!

Crazy Lee put Prince Polti on the right side, and more often played the role of winger. So far, Podolski has not found the feeling in the new position, and his performance is mediocre, which is a bit inconsistent with his 10 million euros. Even some anxious media can't wait to put the hat of "parallel import" on Podolski...

The second player who disappointed the fans is Brazilian Marcelo!

After joining Newcastle, Marcelo only played once in a friendly match against Inter Milan, and his performance was a nightmare, so he was "banned" by Crazy Lee in the official games of the new season...

...

Controversy and praise are boiling, and the pace of the Premier League has not stopped.

August 29.

The second round of the English League Cup began, Newcastle challenged the English Championship team Odenheim away. In the end, thanks to Owen's hat trick and the goal of young player Nicolas Gigi, the score was once again 4:0!

In this game, Mamadou Sakho, Moussa Sissoko, Manzianni, Gareth Bale, David Thornton and other 18-year-old players all got the opportunity to play. Although there were occasional mistakes, their performance was quite satisfactory...

The whole process basically achieved Lee Tongfan's goal of "training the team and examining newcomers" through the League Cup...

On August 31, the door to the European transfer market will be closed!

In this 24-hour period that has touched the nerves of millions of fans, as expected by experts, several heavyweight transfers have taken place. The most shocking of these is the earthquake and transaction of Robinho's transfer from Chelsea to Manchester City for 32.5 million pounds and Berbatov's transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Manchester United for 30.75 million pounds...

At the last moment, Mark Hughes got the superstar he said "can decide the outcome of the game", and the Red Devils godfather Ferguson also got the "perfect center forward" he dreamed of!

The chaos in the transfer market this summer has finally settled down. After the preparations are completed, the most brutal competition in the Premier League has finally arrived! ——

At 8:22 this evening, a very devastating thing happened. Because it involved the League Cup and the new season, Xiaodao opened FM2008 and FM2009 at the same time to check the schedule and type words. As a result, the CPU could not bear the four-hand IBM black screen and crashed. After restarting... Tragedy!!!

I didn't even save what I wrote this morning. Sigh, I have no experience! I only wrote 6,000 words today. I will make up for it with 12,000 words tomorrow!
