I Just Can Score

At the beginning of August, Newcastle United's preparations were in a hurry. The whole team concentrated on physical and tactical training, and they were about to conduct two consecutive warm-up matches.

Alan-Smith believes that to sweep European football, one must start with the warm-up match, pass more balls to Zhen Shaolong in the game, and cooperate with Zhen Shaolong to play more games. It doesn’t matter whether you can score goals or what performance you have, the key is to show a positive attitude , Let Zhen Shaolong have a good impression of himself, and only then can he truly become friends.

Friends, is the first step.

Next, we can look forward to the day when Zhen Shaolong can teach him the mysteries of kung fu.

Alan Smith thought about it well, but before the warm-up match started, he waited for a nasty guy, no, it should be said to be a nasty new teammate--

Joey Barton.

Joey Barton is an idol star who played in Manchester City's youth training. He has excellent technical strength and has also entered the England national team. At the age of 25, he is at the peak of his career, but he was given up by Manchester City Player, Manchester City chose to abandon him not because of his skills, strength, or level, but because of his character...

Extremely bad!

If England were to make a 'bad boy' selection, Joey Barton would definitely be on the list, and the ranking would be very high. The assessment of his worth was 10.6 million pounds, and Manchester City only charged 5.8 million pounds. Like throwing away a hot potato, he was resold to Newcastle United, who urgently needed to strengthen their strength.

Joey Barton has a bad reputation.

There is an idiom that says, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing." Joey Barton looked worse than what he heard. On the first day he entered the team, he showed the potential to stab the head.

"I'm going to use this cabinet!"

Joey Barton pointed to the cabinet above and said.

"That's mine!" Smith hurried over to make sure the cabinet belonged.

"How about giving it to me?" Joey Barton raised his eyes, as if giving an order.

"No."

Alan Smith is not easy to mess with.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Button curled his lips and nodded, "Okay, you come first, I'll let you. You're stingy!"

Smith almost shook his fist angrily.

This is just a corner of the conflict in the locker room. Barton spoke with a 'superiority' tone, as if everyone else would give way to him, and he could do whatever he wanted.

God is boss!

He is the second child!

This description should be considered more appropriate, because he and coach Allardyce spoke in a similar tone.

The head coach doesn't care, anyone else?

A group of ants...

No one in the entire team wanted to talk to Joey Barton. He completely showed what it means to be 'super out of gregarious'. Joey Barton didn't seem to care at all. He maintained a proud expression for a long time, and he was alone Very dashing.

Joey Button became the talk of the players privately.

Smith had a few words with Joey Barton about the locker issue, and almost got his lungs blown out. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the locker that Barton chose was right next to him.

Patton was particularly 'unhygienic'.

Every time I come back from training, I put the smelly socks and underwear directly on the cabinet, or in the direction of the cabinet close to Smith, and Smith smelled the smell many times in a row.

"Zhen, we have to teach him a lesson!"

"Oh."

"We must teach him a lesson, this guy is too annoying!"

"Oh."

Zhen Shaolong just listened.

Smith found that Zhen Shaolong was unmoved, and suddenly remembered Alan Shearer's bet, and immediately said, "How about a thousand pounds? Let's beat him up together!"

"..."

Zhen Shaolong stared blankly at Smith, and said with the corners of his mouth, "Do you think I'm a hired thug?"

Smith wanted to say 'very similar', but resisted raising the price, "Or...two thousand pounds?"

"Ahem..."

"Three thousand pounds?"

"I'm a professional player, not a thug!" Zhen Shaolong emphasized again, and then said,

"Wait for the opportunity... I mean, actually, I want to teach him a lesson, but we can't just beat him up? That's illegal, and I don't do illegal things. So wait for the opportunity, mainly because he didn't Come to provoke me, I have no reason..."

Zhen Shaolong explained a lot.

"Ok."

Smith could only nod dejectedly.

Next, Newcastle United played two consecutive warm-up matches against Milton Keynes and Bristol Rangers. Both opponents have long names. Their tactics probably want to use long names to break the opponent’s brain. cells, to finally win the game.

Zhen Shaolong understood it this way, he forgot about his opponent after the game.

Of course.

It doesn't matter which team the opponent is.

Most of the top league teams will choose low-level league teams for warm-up matches during the preparation period. The best strengths are quite different. One team can play easily and the tactical effect can be displayed, and the other is victory and scoring more goals. , can bring confidence to the whole team.

Newcastle United have won consecutive games, scoring a total of seven goals.

Newcastle United's warm-up still attracts much attention. Many media have come to conduct interviews and watch the game live to judge Newcastle United's preparations.

After the two warm-up matches, we can also summarize.

The best performing player is Milner. He frequently breaks through on the wing, creates a direct threat to the opponent, and has one goal and two assists.

Followed by Michael Owen and Zhen Shaolong.

They both scored two goals.

Michael Owen played 80 minutes and has been very active. The media also began to expect that Owen can find his previous state and strive to return to his peak period.

Zhen Shaolong played 50 minutes and averaged one goal every 25 minutes, showing shockingly high efficiency.

but……

The media's comments on Zhen Shaolong's performance are not all praises, and even criticism and doubts account for more than half. He is out of tune with the entire team, and he rarely cooperates with his teammates. Most of the time he played, he was in a "transparent person" state .

Two goals are also hard to say.

One is to rely on personal ability to score a goal with a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, and the other is to "luck the ball" when the opponent's clearance ball hits him and quickly rebounds into the goal.

An influential British questioner said, "Although Zhen Shaolong scored two goals, the only thing we saw was his good footwork."

"Of course."

"The efficient striker who broke records in both the Bundesliga and the UEFA Cup last season, his shooting ability must be the top in the world, but we need to see that he can quickly integrate into the team in order to have a stable and excellent performance, instead of coming occasionally. Take a shot, score a goal with hard power or luck..."

They affirmed Zhen Shaolong's personal strength, "Not everyone can score from that position", and then said, "Newcastle Lenovo has achieved good results in the new season, so we must let Zhen Shaolong integrate into it as soon as possible. In the team, Owen and Zhen Shaolong must also work together."

"The two played together for 30 minutes, and there was almost no coordination at all. They were strangers than strange teammates."

"..."

The coaching staff of Newcastle United are quite satisfied with the situation of the warm-up match.

Zhen Shaolong's integration is a problem, but he has also shown his strength. His long-range shot is the direct evidence. As for the integration, he can take his time. The season has not officially started yet, and the team has only assembled for half a month. Slowly, his performance will definitely get better and better.

Other players performed well too.

Needless to say, Owen and Milner, Smith and Gremi, who have just joined the team, not only support the strength of the midfield, but also make the formation flow smoothly.

That's exactly what Allardyce wanted to see.

The satisfaction of the coaching staff does not mean that the players will be satisfied. Of course, players who perform well are fine, and they will have expectations for the new season. Those who perform poorly, or even have no chance to play...

Joey Barton!

Button is the most dissatisfied, the team had two warm-up games, he did not get any time.

This is also normal.

Joey Button has just joined the team, and the time has not been more than a week, and he has staggered the beginning of tactical training, and needs to integrate into the team step by step.

Button didn't think so, "I should play! I didn't come to Newcastle as a spectator!"

Button didn't just say that, he also lost his temper in the locker room and threw all the clothes on the common table on the ground, most of which were his own, but also Milner's jersey.

Milner picked it up angrily.

The two looked at each other.

In the end Milner turned his head in admiration, as if nothing had happened.

The Premier League is about to kick off.

Many media have made the first round of preview reports, focusing on the "Premier League semi-finals" competition.

Newcastle United received less attention. They were going to challenge Bolton in an away game. There was basically nothing special about the game, but for any team, a good start in the first round was a good start. The coaching staff started preparing for the game a week in advance.

Zhen Shaolong was also looking forward to the first round.

Two nights before the game, he logged on to Facebook and found many blessings from his friends--

"come on!"

"I hope you can score goals in the first round, I will watch the game live!"

"You sure can!"

"You will succeed in England!"

"..."

Zhen Shaolong looked at the confidence one by one, feeling his heart was filled with a warm current, and then the long-lost reminder sounded——

"Hint: There are new system tasks.

The new season is about to start, and the host needs to achieve a 'perfect debut' in the first round.

Objective 1: Score three goals.

Progress: 0/3.
