    It was already the third minute of stoppage time, and the score was still three to one. Newcastle had the advantage in this game and the two rounds. Dawson's header pushed Giuly's pass out of the sideline. Collina looked at the watch.  , then put the whistle into his mouth and blew hard.  Zuilu Academy

    ? Two short and one long, the game is over!

    Huge cheers rang out in the stands, and the players and coaches on the Newcastle bench rushed into the field and celebrated at the same time as the players on the field!

    Mourinho took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and walked towards Rijkaard on the visiting team's coaching bench with a smile.

    Rijkaard reluctantly came up to him and shook Mourinho's hand.

    Maybe it can¡¯t be regarded as a real ¡°handshake¡±. The two people¡¯s hands just touched lightly and soon separated.

    "I hope there will be another chance to play against each other next year." Mourinho said lightly.

    "I believe it will." Rijkaard snorted. Based on what happened between the two teams in these two games, it would be strange if UEFA didn't use this as a gimmick next year: "What a pity, if that  If we can seize one of the two opportunities, the result of the game will be different.¡±

    "Don't forget that we also missed an opportunity to expand the score to three to zero." Mourinho immediately fired back.

    The two of them looked at each other and then closed their mouths.

    The two people who passed each other went in completely different directions - Mourinho walked onto the court and cheered with the players, while Rijkaard took his players back to his dressing room.  , no one paid attention to them, whether it was reporters or Newcastle fans, their eyes were focused on the winner¡ª¡ªNewcastle.

    This is professional football, no matter how tenacious and exciting you are in the game.  If you lose, you lose.  No one cares what the losers think, people's eyes will always only be on the winners.  Zuilu Academy

    Pei Wei in the stands was even more excited. When Collina blew the whistle to end the game, he jumped up and started hugging everyone around him one by one¡ª¡ªeven those from UEFA.  The staff were not spared. Fortunately, they were surrounded by rich and powerful men, otherwise even the victims would have no objections.  When Pei Wei returned home, there was a fire in the backyard.

    Defeating Barcelona and successfully advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. This victory brought Pei Wei and Newcastle supporters even more excitement than winning the Champions League last year - probably because these two games were too difficult.  It's too frightening for some reasons, and the victory won after hard work is always unforgettable.

    Another reason is probably because the opponent this time is too strong, in Pei Wei's heart.  It put Barcelona in the position of the favorite team to win the Champions League this season. It was just that UEFA played a trick and allowed Newcastle and Barcelona to meet in advance, which made such a strong team appear in the quarter-finals.  dialogue.

    In last year's Champions League, although the game was relatively difficult and they also encountered super giants like Real Madrid in the group stage, after entering the knockout rounds, Newcastle did not encounter a team that had won the Champions League.  Team.  It also makes Newcastle's championship road seem much smoother, and this time.  Newcastle has proved with its own performance that winning the Champions League last year was definitely not luck or luck!

    The quarter-finals of the Champions League are full of joys and worries for the four English teams.

    ??Except Newcastle eliminated Barcelona with a total score of 4 to 2.  Chelsea also eliminated Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga with a score of 6 to 2.  But compared with these two emerging powers in the Premier League, the two established and strong teams in the Premier League seem a bit embarrassing¡ª¡ªManchester United was defeated by AC Milan two to zero.  The two goals were scored by Argentinian striker Crespo, who was loaned back to Italy by Chelsea. Although Arsenal relied on Henry's goal to defeat Bayern Munich 1-0 in the second round of the home game, but  But they were still eliminated with a total score of two to three.

    This situation is not necessarily a bad thing for Manchester United and Arsenal. They are currently ranked third and fourth in the Premier League standings. They have been left behind by the top two Newcastle and Chelsea for a long time and have been eliminated from the Champions League.  , just allows them to concentrate on playing in the league, while Newcastle and Chelsea will inevitably be interfered by two-front operations. This is the saying that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.

    In the other four quarter-finals, Lyon, the three consecutive French Ligue 1 champions, surprisingly swept the Bundesliga champion Werder Bremen 7-2 at home and entered the quarter-finals with a total score of 10-2. In this game  In the middle, Lyon's attacking lineup is terrifying. Wiltord, who was terminated by Arsenal, scored a hat trick. As soon as the French winger returnedThe nails show vitality.  Juventus, who lost 1-0 away from home, relied on Trezeguet's goal to tie Real Madrid on the total score, and then Uruguayan forward Sarayeta scored in the last three minutes of overtime.  Scored the winning goal to eliminate the La Liga hegemons. Eredivisie champion Feyenoord eliminated the previous runner-up Monaco with a total score of 3-0 over two rounds, while Inter Milan eliminated the Portuguese team Porto with a total score of 4-2.

    So far in the quarter-finals, all La Liga teams have been wiped out, the three northern Serie A teams have all entered the Champions League quarter-finals, and the two Premier League teams, Ligue 1, Eredivisie and Bundesliga, have each occupied one seat.

    For these tired players in Newcastle, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief after winning this crucial game.

    Since Newcastle had already been eliminated from the League Cup and FA Cup, after playing the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, they had to wait until ten days before they had a league game to play, so Mourinho  I was very happy to give the players a day off after the party on the night of the game to let them have a good rest.

    In the next week, what Newcastle's coaching staff has to do is to let the players use this rare leisure period to recover their physical fitness. There have not been too many recent games, but there will be another round after the next round of the league.  On an international match day, if the players are not given a good rest at this time, the international players in the team will not only be unable to maintain their condition due to fatigue, but will also be more likely to get injured.

    March is a relatively easy month for Newcastle. Newcastle only needs to play two league games and one Champions League game throughout March, which is extremely easy. However, this ease also comes at a price, and the price is, tight.  What followed was a devilish April.

    On Saturday, April 2, the 31st round of the league will be played at home against Aston Villa.

    Wednesday, April 6, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the opponent has not yet been decided.

    On Saturday, April 9, the 32nd round of the league was away to Tottenham Hotspur.

    ? Wednesday, April 13th, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the opponent is undecided.

    On Saturday, April 16, the 33rd round of the league will be played at home against Middlesbrough.

    On Tuesday, April 19, the 34th round of the league was away to Norwich.

    On Saturday, April 23, the 35th round of the league will be an away game against Manchester United.

    On Saturday, April 30th, the 36th round of the league will be played at home against Crystal Palace.

    Two Champions League quarter-finals, all in April, and Newcastle will play six more league games in mid-April!

    And that¡¯s not all. If Newcastle can reach the Champions League semi-finals, then on April 27, they will also play a Champions League semi-final!

    During this month, they have to play a game every three or four days. This is an extremely severe test for the physical fitness of Newcastle players, and they basically rotate home and away. If you don't seize this time,  If we let the players recover their physical fitness, how can they prepare for the next devilish schedule?

    Every game in the Champions League is as important as the final. In the league, Chelsea is only one point behind them. We cannot relax in every game.

    "But human nerves have their limits after all. If they bear it for too long, no one's nerves will be able to bear it.

    Fortunately, Newcastle's medical team has not improved its medical level to a higher level after adding Yourcenar, an excellent nutritionist, but it has become much better in terms of physical therapy and recovery, especially drinking Yourcenar after training.  The traditional Chinese medicine decoction brought back from China has become a tradition in Newcastle. It must be said that the combination of Chinese and Western medicine has brought huge benefits. Each player's recovery ability has been much stronger. Some of them were unwilling to drink these soups of unknown origin at first.  After seeing that other players had no problems after taking doping and were able to pass doping tests, players who took doping began to join the ranks. This also gave Mourinho confidence in spending the next devilish season.  Plenty of confidence.

    After more than a week of recovery training, on March 19, Newcastle, who were in good condition, defeated Portsmouth 2-0 away from home, extending their winning streak to five games, while Chelsea was not far behind.  They defeated Crystal Palace 4-1 at home and used a wave of four consecutive victories to continue to chase behind them with a one-point disadvantage.

    "Raphael, are you in love with me?"

    After learning that Chelsea also won, Mourinho showed a smile: "That's just right. It seems that you are all out of the FA Cup, so let's officially compete! Let's see who can have the last laugh!"
