    The pride of Newcastle - St James' Park!

    As one of the most modern stadiums in Europe, St. James' Park is located in the most prosperous downtown area of ????Newcastle. In front of the main entrance is a sculpture of Jack Milburn, Newcastle's top scorer in history.  It is like any modern stadium. The main frame of the steel structure is simple and solid. The floodlights and columns supporting the roof of the stands are shining. The stands on all sides are clearly layered. The seats are clean and bright. There are locker rooms and a trophy display room in the stadium.  , a series of supporting facilities such as gyms, bars and business centers, and even a small police station under the south stand - the enthusiasm of Newcastle fans is also very famous in England.

    However, no matter how good the St. James Park stadium is, it has one big drawback or feature - the stadium is built on a slope, which slopes downward for a full eighteen meters from north to south. This  The number may not look impressive at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it is as tall as a six-story building, which is really amazing.

    In addition to this remarkable feature, St. James' Park is also well-known for another fact. Before it was built as a stadium, it was once an execution ground in the Victorian era.  Ten years later, the last hanging was carried out here, and all of this has given St. James' Park a special layer of fantasy.

    Like other famous clubs, there is a stand in St. James' Park that is a sacred place in the hearts of Newcastle fans, and that is the West Stand named after Newcastle's historical top scorer Milburn.  The fans gathered there are mainly middle and lower class fans. They are the most loyal and loyal part of the Newcastle fan base.

    On August 30, St. James Park ushered in the first game of the Premier League this season (actually the second round of the Premier League), Newcastle faced Birmingham at home.

    From this perspective, the postponement of the first league game is also a good thing for Newcastle United. After all, Manchester United was last year's league champion.  Although Beckham left, the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo still filled the vacancy in their lineup.  Newcastle is playing away from home again. No matter how confident Mourinho is, he may not be sure of victory. Birmingham, on the other hand, was only the 13th place last season and is a typical mid-lower team. In the first game of the new season,  Getting off to a good start is important.

    From Mourinho's formation, we can see how eager he is to win - the lineup he arranged is not the 442 that Newcastle is most accustomed to using.  But four three three - goalkeeper Given, the four defenders are Trabelsi, Lucio, Woodgate and Hart, midfielders Makelele and Jenas serve as double midfielders, in front of them  It is Nie Fei, left winger Robert, and the forward is partnered by captain Shearer and Swedish forward Ibrahimovic.

    Compared with last season, Newcastle's lineup has changed six people, including three defenders.  However, recalling Newcastle's performance when Manchester United conceded 11 goals in two games last season, it is understandable that a major overhaul of the defense is required.

    However, Pei Wei's investment of more than 80 million pounds before the season had a very obvious effect-among the eleven players, except for the English teenager Jenas and Shearer, who has withdrawn from the England national team, the other nine  The players are all national players from various countries, and they are all the main and core players - there are six international players on the bench - from this point of view, Pei Wei's money is not as good as the media thinks.  Some non-star players are back.

    Compared with Newcastle¡¯s almost national football lineup.  The players in Birmingham are much inferior. This team is basically composed of British players. In addition to the English, there are also many players from Wales and Northern Ireland. The most famous player in the team is the former French international.  , Dugarry, who once played for AC Milan, Finnish striker Forssell, who was loaned from Chelsea, and former Manchester United player, a member of the famous 1992 generation, Savage, the evil man from Wales.

    Birmingham¡¯s head coach Bruce arranged a steady 442. The goalkeeper was Taylor, the substitute goalkeeper of the Northern Ireland national team, and the left back was Upson, who made his debut at Arsenal.  The right back is Irish veteran Kenner.  The central defender is partnered by Tebili and Perth, and the double midfielder Savic in the middle is partnered with Senegalese midfielder Cisse.  On the left is Australian winger Lazaridis, on the right is their captain No. 10 Brian Hughes. The forwards are one high and one fast, Dugarry and Fussell's partner.

    This is a typical British 442, with two wing attackers, two defensive midfielders, plus a tall and fast forward partner - in fact, most middle and lower-tier teams in the Premier League use this.  configuration.

    With the shouts of more than 50,000 Newcastle fans, the game kicked off. Obviously, Newcastle fans alsoI am looking forward to getting three points against this underdog to get off to a good start, just like last season when they slaughtered the "Hammers" West Ham United 4-0 at home.

    And the progress of the game seemed to be what they thought.

    Just two minutes into the game, Makelele beautifully stole the ball from the opponent's captain Hughes in the midfield, and then immediately handed the ball to Nie Fei in the frontcourt. Nie Fei did not stay long after taking the ball.  Before Vic came up, he passed the ball beautifully to Ibrahimovic on the left.

    Ibrahimovic caught the ball, stopped the ball, pulled the ball and turned around in one go. Kenner was dazzled by his series of actions. Fortunately, he had rich experience and was not shaken by him and lost his center of gravity.

    Seeing that the opponent was unmoved, Ibrahimovic stopped, gently touched the ball with his left foot, and then suddenly pulled the ball back with his toes. When Kenna was stunned, he quickly picked the ball toward the baseline!

    The ball drew a beautiful arc and flew past Kenner. At this time, Robert came up from behind like a wind, easily received Ibrahimovic's beautiful pass, and then quickly crossed into the penalty area!

    "Beautiful pass! It's really hard to imagine, how did he know that Robert was coming from behind? This pass was as accurate as measured with a ruler. Robert took the ball without any effort at all!" Newcastle United  Robbie Williams, the number one commentator, exclaimed: "Now Robert has a good opportunity in front of him. Birmingham's penalty area is as empty as a wheat field after autumn He passed the ball, Alan Shearer! Alan Shearer!  Le! Goooooal - The great Alan Shearer headed Robert's pass into the goal! One to zero, Newcastle led in the previous Champions League qualifying match.  The first goal in an official game, and now he scored Newcastle's first goal in the league this season! The thirty-three-year-old Shearer is still young, looking at his condition as if he was twenty.  Three years old! 245th goal, this is Alan Shearer¡¯s 245th goal in the Premier League!¡±

    Shearer ran on the court with his right hand raised high. This goal came so easily. After a series of interferences from Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic, and after Robert inserted into the penalty area and attracted enough defensive forces, Shearer was already unmanned.  Defended, and the opponent's goalkeeper's attention was attracted by Robert who had just inserted into the small penalty area. It was almost equal to a half-empty chance. If Shearer didn't score, he would not be qualified to become the England player in the entire 1990s.  The best center forward!

    The St. James Park stadium immediately erupted. Newcastle fans gave Shearer all the praise they could imagine, and the chants of "There is only one Shearer" resounded above all the stands!

    "When will we get such cheers and treatment?" Ibrahimovic said with a little envy as he looked at the back of Shearer running.

    "Wait until you score a hundred goals for Newcastle." Nie Fei said with a smile from the side. In the usual training, Ibrahimovic and Nie Fei, both technical offensive players and newcomers to Newcastle, have been mixing.  They are very familiar with each other. Although Ibrahimovic is arrogant, he is usually a big kid who likes to make mistakes, while Nie Fei is approachable and they have no problem communicating in English.

    "No, I think as long as we perform well enough, the fans at St. James Park will cheer us the same way in the future." After Ibrahimovic thought about it, he showed a strange smile: "The captain is already thirty-three after all.  Well, few forwards can play beyond the age of thirty-five. By then, I will be the new king and standard-bearer of St. James Park!"

    "Ibrahimovic, I believe you will do this." Nie Fei said it sincerely. Now in Europe, he is also a star known for his excellent footwork, but Ibrahimovic's footwork and imagination are not.  He is not inferior to him at all. Considering that Ibrahimovic is nearly fifteen centimeters taller than him, Nie Fei can't imagine how much better Ibrahimovic's skills would be if he were not so tall. After all, height is still a problem.  Affects flexibility.

    Regarding Nie Fei's words, Ibrahimovic accepted it unceremoniously. He is also a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth. He is the best in the world. Generally speaking, when a young forward comes to Ajax, he said: "  "I will become the second Basten" are relatively ambitious and confident people, but after Ibrahimovic arrived at Ajax, what he said was: "I will surpass Basten."  With this sentence, his level of confidence can be seen.

    Maybe he will be very angry with Mourinho, because Mourinho is also such a person. Maybe the two will have conflicts, because two people with strong personalities often cannot get along peacefully, but Pei Wei is looking forward to it very much.  These two people work well together.

    Because only in this way, Newcastle's glory will be more worth looking forward to.
