    Although they lost the game, and although Newcastle would have another home game against Leeds three days later, the Newcastle players still got a day off after returning to Newcastle from Manchester, and they did not return to the training ground until September 6.  Go ahead and prepare for the next day¡¯s game.

    But when they arrived at the training ground, they discovered that head coach Mourinho was not on the court. The people responsible for directing the training were assistant coach Kaffer and physical coach Yourcenar.

    ¡°I heard that the head coach is in the office now, and the boss invites him to drink tea.¡± A rumor appeared among the players who were training.

    "Wow, it's so scary. After losing a game, the coach was invited to have tea by the boss? It seems that our boss is really impatient."

    "I wonder if he will be dissatisfied with us. It may not be a good thing for the club to have a rich owner."

    During the interval of training, the players expressed their opinions one after another, while Nie Fei and Lucio snickered beside them. They did not believe that Pei Wei would be so impatient and would become impatient after losing a game, not to mention that although he lost to  Manchester United, but Newcastle did not perform well in the game.

    "Jose, I suddenly discovered something very interesting." Pei Wei smiled and poured Mourinho a cup of coffee: "At that time, after I joined Yunjia Tianyu, it was the first time the team played in an official game.  The defeat was also against the strongest team in the league at the time, Dalian. This time, we also lost to Manchester United, but before facing Dalian, we had always been considered the most likely to win the championship.  The team, and now, the comments from outside are not very favorable to us.¡±

    "I think you don't care about the opinions of the media." Mourinho said lightly: "I also know very well about the first few years of the Chinese League. At that time, there was not much difference between the strength and weakness  A is A and the Premier League is Premier League. These are two completely different concepts.¡±

    "Of course I know." Pei Wei replied: "Actually, I lost this game. I am not very disappointed. The strength that Manchester United showed in the game was not that strong They have started to go downhill. After  There are deficiencies in the defense, and the frontcourt offensive combination needs to be re-adjusted and our integration is earlier than theirs, so in one or two years, we should be able to gain a little advantage. However, Newcastle needs time now New.  The players who advance need to increase their understanding, so before that, we need a pretty good victory to boost the morale of the team and increase the fans' confidence in us."

    Mourinho did not speak, and Pei Wei continued: "Jose, I am not forcing youbut I think you should know that I can give you enough time, and I also hope that you can bear some pressure for me¡ª¡ª  The more you win, the less pressure you will have on me I have always been reluctant to give targets to the team, but this season, I have my bottom line. We are no longer in the Chinese League.  We are in the Premier League, one of the four major European leagues, and there are many people who want to see me as a foreigner, and I must not let them do it.¡±

    Finally, Pei Wei stated his bottom line: "In the league, at least the top four are guaranteed, that is, to enter the Champions League next season. In the Champions League, the group qualifying or the quarterfinals, as for the two domestic cups  , I hope to get one, any kind, even the League Cup, understand?"

    Mourinho knows that Pei Wei's conditions are already very loose. It is said that Chelsea's Roman Abramovich gave coach Ranieri the task of "winning the league or the Champions League."  Take Newcastle's investment this summer.  If you cannot achieve such a goal, it will definitely be a complete failure.

    "I will definitely do it." Mourinho nodded vigorously: "At least the top four in the league. At least the quarter-finals of the Champions League and at least one championship If I can't do it, I will resign."

    "No, I won't let you resign." Pei Wei laughed: "I can't bear to let go of a head coach like you Okay, Jose, go ahead, otherwise the players below will definitely be in chaos.  Guess what, I don't want to be thought of as someone who can't tolerate even one defeat Also, in two days there will be the draw ceremony for the Champions League groups. I plan to go to Zurich with you, but before that,  I want to go with a win, got it?"

    Mourinho nodded, then stood up and left Pei Wei's office.

    "Jose, now I know that the competition and pressure of the Premier League are simply not comparable to the Chinese league" After Mourinho left, Pei Wei sighed: "It's just a loss of one game, those  The media is like we are already going to avoid relegation To deal with this kind of people, the only way to stop them is with victory So, Jose, I have toPut a little pressure on you so that you can quickly adapt to the atmosphere of the European League - after all, you are not the Jose in history. Maybe I harmed you by taking you to China?  No, I will never allow an excellent head coach to be ruined in my hands!  "

    Mourinho appeared on the training ground with a normal expression. It was as if Pei Wei had not talked to him. He still left all training to the assistant coach and physical coach as usual, and he only occasionally talked to the coaches.  Communicate and let them coach the players according to their requirements - just like he would normally do.

    After the training, Mourinho signaled the players not to leave yet. When all the players gathered in front of him, he spoke.

    "Since the start of the new season, we have played a total of four official games. We won both games against Partizan and we also won the league game against Birmingham, but two days ago, we lost against Manchester United.  the match of."

    "Now we are tenth in the standings, but that's not what I care about. In the early stages of the league, it is normal to be ranked in any position. Today is tenth. Maybe after tomorrow's game,  We can be ranked in the top four This is not a problem. In fact, our situation is gradually improving. Although we won the two games against Partizan and the Birmingham City League, we did not play well.  We can win. It's just that our opponents are relatively weak. Although we lost the game against Manchester United, we caused trouble for Manchester United from beginning to end. If it weren't for bad luck, we would at least be able to win at Old Trafford.  Trafford came back with a pointso for me personally I'm really happy with the game."

    He smiled and looked at the surprised players, and nodded heavily: "It's true, Mr. Chairman thinks so too. He believes that if we can maintain this state, then we are absolutely capable."  We can launch an attack on the league championship when the league is about to end, instead of having to give up when there are only eight rounds left in the league like last season But I want to ask you now. Was it two days ago?  Is the level shown in the game your true level? Is it your best? "

    "No!" the players responded in unison: "We can do better!"

    "That's right! We can do better!" Mourinho waved his palm down heavily: "So, tomorrow's game is the moment to prove this! Our opponent is Leeds United. Not only do we have to  Win, and win beautifully! Use our performance to shut up those media who think that we can only aim to reach the Champions League this year, and tell them that this year, we at Newcastle are strong contenders for the championship.  We lost to Manchester United and we have the ability to win back in the second stage at home!¡±

    ¡°Oh¡ª¡ª¡± the players shouted, waving their fists one by one.

    Newcastle players do not lack passion!  For the original Newcastle players, they have not tasted the championship for a long time, but this does not mean that they do not want to win the championship. On the contrary, for experienced veterans like Shearer, their only motivation for the game now is  To win the championship for Newcastle!  And for the newly transferred players.  Carrying high prices, they are more eager to use their performance and championships to prove that they are worth the money!

    September 7th.  In the third round of the Premier League, Newcastle vs. Leeds United at home!

    Because Ibrahimovic was suspended for an additional game.  So he still can't play in this game. Mourinho sent out such a lineup, goalkeeper Given, four defenders are Trabelsi, Lucio, Woodgate and Bernard, midfielder Makelele and  Janus partnered in the middle, Stewart and Dyer appeared in the two wing positions, captain Shearer played three consecutive games, Viduka replaced Bellamy and partnered with Shearer, Robert and Nie Fei both sat on the bench.

    Leeds United, which has suffered a serious loss of talent, is heavily in debt, and has a changing mentality, has had an extremely bad start to the season. They were tied by Southampton at home in the first game, and were defeated by Tottenham away in the second round. After two rounds, they only accumulated one point, almost  It was at the beginning of the season that they were destined to fight for relegation!

    Although Viduka was still playing for this team last year, he was not polite at all when facing his old owner. After all, he had to seize this rare opportunity to stabilize his main position!

    Only eighteen minutes into the game, Dyer created a penalty kick through a beautiful breakthrough. Alan Shearer scored in one stroke and opened the scoring!

    Thirteen minutes later, Stewart took the ball and cut inside, then handed it to Bernard who came forward with an assist from the wing. Bernard passed the ball. Viduka jumped high and beat Radebe with a header!

    After the start of the second half, although Leeds¡¯ Smith used Bernard¡¯sA goalkeeper error in a return pass recovered a point, but Newcastle soon relied on Shearer's brace and Lucio's breakaway to score two goals in a row. Newcastle finally won a hearty victory at home!
