I Just Can Score

Chapter 647 Competition is the driving force of human development

Six to one.

Being five goals behind in a single game is a huge gap, big enough to make the trailing side despair.

Villarreal is desperate.

On the one hand, it is the score that is behind. It is almost impossible to catch up with five goals. In the decades of history of the Champions League, there is no record of four or more goals in the knockout rounds.

On the other hand, their morale was shattered.

Zhen Shaolong's performance was so good. He kept passing the ball in various ways and created too many opportunities for the forwards. Pellegrini's interpretation was, "Zhen Shaolong did not perform well. He just wanted to play for his teammates and completely Treat the competition as entertainment.”

"If we are at the same level, we can easily score more goals in the penalty area."

The reason for Pellegrini's judgment is that Zhen Shaolong's skill and accuracy in passing the ball can be said to be completely unreasonable. Their defense can't restrict it at all. Every time they try to restrict it, they end in failure. The opponent can always control the ball. Pass the ball to the ideal position, even in the penalty area, and the same performance can score the ball into the goal.

There were too many wonderful passes from Zhen Shaolong in the second half.

Viduka and Patton wasted more than a dozen opportunities. Half of them, Zhen Shaolong was able to score in double digits by himself.

Pellegrini's judgment is the same. You can imagine the feelings of the Villarreal players. They all felt that the gap was too big and they could not guard Zhen Shaolong at all.

Trailing by five goals in the first round, what about the second round?

Maybe even further behind!

Even if they return to their home court, they have no confidence to win. No, let alone win. Judging from the opponent's performance, it would be good if they don't fall behind by more goals.

Many players have similar thoughts.

This pessimistic judgment will naturally affect the performance. In the following time, Villarreal's offense needless to say, they hit the ball into the penalty area in ten minutes. At the same time, their defense did well, and the penalty area was In a densely populated situation, it is difficult to convert any classic pass into a goal.

The game on the field is not over yet, but in fact, everyone knows that the remaining time is garbage time, and even said that there will be nothing to watch in the next round.

Newcastle United looked relaxed from top to bottom, and the players on the bench couldn't help but celebrate with the fans.

Owen is a special one.

Although the team will definitely win and even advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League, Irving is not happy at all. He is a little jealous of Viduka on the court...

"That was originally my hat trick!"

Irving's heart was filled with tears when he thought about Viduka's hat trick.

He doesn't blame Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong told him to cheer him up, and he must be preparing to pass the ball to him.

He didn't blame Viduka either, it was just pure jealousy.

Viduka didn't even expect to play, and the whole team didn't expect that Keegan would choose to replace Viduka. Maybe he was favored by the god of luck?

No!

It was Keegan who favored me!

Irving thought of the adjustments Keegan made.

I felt like my stomach was going to explode.

Under the guidance of Viduka's hat-trick, he recalled his experience at Newcastle United. From the continuous injuries at the beginning, he was called a "parallel import", to his return to form this season, and his scoring data has become much better.

but……

Newcastle United has Zhen Shaolong!

Owen likes to be teammates with Zhen Shaolong, provided that others cannot threaten his position, and that his partnership with Zhen Shaolong is considered to be the strongest striker combination in the world.

This is not the case now.

The whole world recognizes Zhen Shaolong's ability, but Irving has not been recognized. He is only considered to be similar to Martins, a dispensable player on the front line. As long as Zhen Shaolong is there, there seems to be no big difference with or without Irving.

Owen was unwilling to give in.

If it were more than a season ago, he would still be working hard to adjust his condition, hoping that his performance would become better, and use facts to answer all doubts.

Now Owen's mind has changed.

For one thing, since he started practicing horse walking, he found that he has improved and his condition has recovered very well. He is no worse than what he was a few years ago. He is confident that his strength and condition are very good. He can stand alone in any team and rely on his personal performance. Support the entire front line.

Secondly, Zhen Shaolong is leaving.

Although Zhen Shaolong's transfer negotiations are very secretive, many teammates in the team can still guess it. One of them can be analyzed: agent Mendes frequently visits Newcastle United.

Irving bumped into Mendes twice.

Zhen Shaolong has just signed a new contract, and it is impossible to re-sign it. What is Mendes here for?

Transfer!

Definitely is!

If Zhen Shaolong leaves Newcastle United, it will be difficult for Newcastle United to pursue honors. What is the point of continuing to stay? In addition, there is another very important point. Newcastle United is unwilling to give him a salary increase. With the same salary level, he can join the comparison. Zhen Shaolong's Newcastle United is the stronger team.

Owen considered leaving.

Before the game was over, Irving only thought for a few minutes and found his ideal goal -

Manchester United!

Owen hopes to join Manchester United, not because Manchester United is a wealthy club, nor because Manchester United may win honors, but because Manchester United has his confidant--

Wayne Rooney also exercises the horse step!

Recently, Irving often chats with Rooney. They are not chatting about gossip, but talking about their experiences in exercising horse steps and cultivating their spirit. Irving dismisses the so-called "spiritual training" and thinks it is entirely Ferdinand's imagination, because he has never I have never seen what kind of spirit Zhen Shaolong practices, but the training of horse steps can be communicated. They also discussed some other Chinese martial arts training methods, such as walking horse stakes. Rooney also placed several wooden stakes in the garden at home. , when I have free time on weekdays, I just walk back and forth. It is said to be a way of practicing Qinggong, which seems to be very helpful in developing ball control skills.

Owen hasn't tried it yet, and he's about to.

In the entire Premier League, and even the European League, I haven't heard of anyone else practicing horse walking.

Rooney is his confidant!

Irving doesn't like Manchester United very much, but it's good to go to a team with close friends. He feels that given his condition, as long as he insists on Mabu training, he will be confident to occupy a position in Manchester United.

By then, he and Rooney will become the most powerful striker combination that sweeps Europe... no, sweeps all teams except Zhen Shaolong's team!

As for coming from Liverpool and not joining a team in Manchester?

"Did I say that?"

"forget!"

"It's true, as I get older, my brain doesn't work as well as it used to..."

While Irving was exercising his 'mental forgetfulness', the game on the field also ended with the referee's whistle.

The final score was locked at 6-1.

Newcastle United defeated Villarreal and won the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

This score is enough for them to lock in their promotion spot in advance, and there will be no suspense in the second round.

The same goes for media coverage.

"The difference of five goals is enough for Newcastle to advance early! They occupy a semi-final spot!"

"Historic reaching the semi-finals, Newcastle fans can celebrate in advance!"

"With six goals in a single game, Zhen Shaolong's performance shined with two shots and four passes. Viduka's hat trick was also scored by him!"

"With the support of Zhen Shaolong, just a forward can complete a hat trick... With the help of Zhen Shaolong, Viduka has reached the peak of his career!"

"The Champions League hat is amazing, but what shines even more is Zhen Shaolong with four assists and two goals!"

"..."

Various reports and comments are full of praise for Newcastle United and Zhen Shaolong.

Newcastle United are also very happy.

In the locker room after the game, Kevin Keegan announced that the team would have two days off.

This is so rare!

Although the team's schedule is not too intensive during the April period, the Champions League quarter-finals are too important to allow for any negligence. Originally, the team had no holiday plan, and even the second day of the game only lasted half a day. The holidays allow players to get a good night's sleep, but Keegan feels the team should take it easy.

6 to 1, what are you worried about?

Not to mention going to Spain in the second round, even if he goes to the center of the Pacific Ocean on the other side of the world, he is confident that he will lead the team to victory.

Vacation feels very relaxing.

Zhen Shaolong was in a good mood when he returned home that day, because his assistant team officially welcomed a new member, no, it should be said as an 'old friend'. Reina came to Newcastle United. She accepted Zhen Shaolong's invitation and decided to join the assistant team.

Zhen Shaolong's assistant team is indeed short of people. So far, he only has two assistants. One is his agent Alice. Alice is in charge of everything, but there is too much work. She can't handle it alone, even with All matters related to the club were 'contracted' to Mendes' economic company, and she was kept busy for a long time.

The second assistant is Claudio.

It would be good for Claudio to be a full-time nanny, but for professional athletes, especially those who are as famous as Zhen Shaolong, nanny work is the least important thing.

Claudio has many advantages, such as a good figure, a sweet smile, a somewhat silly personality, etc., but there is only one ability that makes him qualified as an assistant - good cooking.

This is a bit lacking in ability.

The arrival of Reina is an important addition. She is a professional fitness coach who is involved in fitness-related sports, including bodybuilding and taekwondo. She cannot be said to be very powerful, but her personal fighting ability is comparable to that of an ordinary strong man.

Huzi is not necessarily Reina's opponent.

Reina can be an assistant, a bodyguard, and a fitness instructor. Professional yoga training is naturally indispensable to her. In addition, she has good communication skills and has experience in a third-rate university. She can leave some chores to her. rest assured.

etc.

Therefore, Leina is a very important supplement. Zhen Shaolong defines her as the second assistant.

certainly.

Everywhere is first-come, first-served. On the surface, Zhen Shaolong is called ‘Assistant No. 3’.

Lena started working as soon as she arrived.

afternoon.

Zhen Shaolong and Reina did yoga together. Feeling a little tired, they started to enjoy the massage while lying on the bed.

Lena's massage techniques are very professional. She is involved in human kinesiology and knows which parts to press to relieve fatigue. She has also carefully studied massage techniques in East Asia.

This is very enjoyable.

the other side.

Seeing Zhen Shaolong and Reina talking and laughing in the living room, Claudio felt sour in his heart and felt a lot of pressure.

Previously she was first assistant.

Yes.

Even Alice doesn't pay attention to Claudio, because most of the time at home, there are only her and Zhen Shaolong, and she thinks she is the most important.

Now there is one more competitor.

What Claudio also knew was that Reina's assistant's monthly salary was 6,500 euros, which was 700 euros higher than her salary.

"Why?"

"I was here first...why do I get the lowest salary?"

Claudio felt very depressed. She could accept having one more assistant, and it would be nice if the person was someone she was familiar with, but what she couldn't accept was that the other person's salary was higher than hers.

This is the psychology of comparison!

"But I have a career!" Claudio tried to find his advantage. "I have many fans on Facebook and Twitter. The videos I made with Alice have good ratings in every episode, and I earn more than My salary is more.”

Just thinking about it made me feel better.

But...it's still awkward!

same day.

Claudio prepared a table of delicious food and entertained Lena warmly. After washing up after the meal, she ignored Lena next to her and sat next to Zhen Shaolong.

Then, lie down half-reclining.

ten minutes later.

Under Rena's somewhat strange look, Claudio pulled Zhen Shaolong and rushed upstairs with a fierce look that said, "You can't refuse."

"Bang!"

The door was slammed shut.

Zhen Shaolong has troubles that he can’t express!

Zhen Shaolong woke up the next day without much energy, but Claudio prepared exquisite dishes early.

When Zhen Shaolong saw the delicacies on the table, his appetite immediately whetted his appetite and he couldn't help but praise, "Today is so rich!"

"It's nothing." Claudio seemed to be modest, but then said, "I just got up at six in the morning to prepare."

"only?"

Zhen Shaolong glanced at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Six o'clock.

Ten o'clock.

Four hours!

Zhen Shaolong couldn't help but admire Claudio's diligence. After dinner, he heard Reina explaining her work, "I will go to the security company today. You have too few security guards. Officially, there is only one Hu Zi. This is not possible. What happened? It’s too bad, we need to nip it in the bud.”

"I have already told Alice to go to the official security company and ask them to send four people to be responsible for your security. At home, in clubs, and other occasions, you must have at least two people with you."

Zhen Shaolong nodded continuously as he listened.

Reina continued, "You don't have to worry. The salary of ordinary security guards is not high. From now on, it will only cost an extra 20,000 to 30,000 euros per month. This is nothing to you."

"In addition, in terms of endorsements, I have taken over part of Alice's work. I will make a schedule one month in advance, especially fixed holidays, and maybe arrange some commercial activities."

“This will increase your income.”

Zhen Shaolong continued to nod.

After Reina talked for a long time, she continued to work, while Claudio went to prepare lunch.

Zhen Shaolong turned on the TV idly and thought about it carefully and found that his life had changed.

Reina showed diligence when she first arrived, and Claudio was also much more diligent. Every meal was richer than before. He even remembered to prepare snacks after meals, and even juices and tea drinks were all homemade at home.

This is so comforting.

"I should have known... I should have let Reina come earlier." Zhen Shaolong thought regretfully, "There must be competition in football, and there must be competition at home!"

"So competition is the most important thing."

"Isn't there a saying that goes well? Competition is the biggest driving force for human development!"

"Decided!"

"When I get to Madrid, I will live in Lola's house. Maybe the competition will be more intense then..."
