Six to one.

Trailing by five goals in a single game is quite a huge margin, huge enough to make the side behind despair.

Villarreal was desperate.

On the one hand, the score is behind, five goals are almost impossible to catch up, and in the decades history of the Champions League, there is no record of four or more goals in the knockout round.

On the other hand, their morale was devastated.

Zhen Shaolong's performance was too good, he continued to pass the ball in various ways, creating too many opportunities for the striker, and Pellegrini's interpretation was, "Zhen Shaolong didn't perform well." He just wants to make balls for his teammates and completely treats the game as entertainment. ”

'If it's the same level, you can easily score more goals in the box.'

Pellegrini's reason for judgment is that the skill and accuracy shown by Zhen Shaolong in the process of passing the ball can be said to be completely unreasonable, their defense cannot be limited at all, and every time they go to limit it will end in failure, the opponent can always pass the ball to the ideal position, even if it is in the penalty area, the same play can hit the ball into the goal.

In the second half, Zhen Shaolong made too many wonderful passes.

Viduka and Barton wasted more than a dozen chances, half of which Zhen Shaolong played by himself, and the goals could reach double digits.

Pellegrini's judgment is like this, and the feelings of the players on the field in Villarreal can be imagined, they all feel that the gap is too big and they can't prevent Zhen Shaolong at all.

Five goals behind in the first leg, what about the second?

Maybe more behind!

Even if they return to their home stadium, they don't have the confidence to win, no, let alone win, judging by the performance of the other side, it would be good not to fall behind more goals.

How many players are thinking like that.

This pessimistic judgment will naturally affect the performance, and in the following time, Villarreal's attack is not to be talked about, the ball has been scored into the box once in ten minutes, and their defense is doing well, and in the case of dense personnel in the box, it is difficult to convert any classic pass into a goal.

The game on the field is not over yet, but in reality, everyone knows that there is garbage time left, and even says that there is nothing to watch in the next round.

Newcastle United were 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 qualify for the last four of the Champions League, Owen is not happy at all, he is a little jealous of Viduka on the field......

"That would have been my hat-trick!"

Owen thought about Viduka's hat-trick and his heart filled with tears.

He didn't blame Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong said that he should cheer him on, and he must be ready to pass the ball to him.

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

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

No!

It's been favored by Keegan!

Owen thought of Keegan's adjustments, and he felt like his stomach was going to explode.

Guided by Viduka's hat-trick, he reflected on his experience at Newcastle United, from the start of a series of injuries called 'parallel imports', to the return to form this season, and the goal statistics have become much better.

But......

Newcastle United have Zhen Shaolong!

Owen likes to be teammates with Zhen Shaolong, provided that no one else can threaten his position, and provided that he and Zhen Shaolong's partner is considered the strongest forward combination in the world.

This is not the case now.

The whole world recognizes Zhen Shaolong's ability, but Owen has not been recognized, he is only considered to be similar to Martins, a dispensable player in the front line, as long as Zhen Shaolong is there, there seems to be little difference between Owen and not.

Owen was not reconciled.

If it was more than a season ago, he would have worked hard to adjust his form, hoping that his performance would be better, and he would have responded to all doubts with facts.

Now Owen's mind has changed.

First, since he started to train his horse steps, he has found that he has improved, and his condition has recovered very well, not worse than a few years ago, he is confident that his strength is in very good condition, and he can take charge of any team and rely on his individual performance to support the entire forward line.

Second, Zhen Shaolong is leaving.

Although Zhen Shaolong's transfer negotiations are very secretive, many teammates in the team can still guess it, and one can be analyzed: agent Mendes frequently comes and goes in and out of Newcastle United club.

Irving has bumped into Mendes twice.

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

Transfer!

Definitely!

If Zhen Shaolong leaves Newcastle United, it will be difficult for Newcastle Lenovo to pursue honor, what is the point of continuing to stay, in addition, there is another very important one, Newcastle United is unwilling to give him a salary increase, the same salary level, he can join a stronger team than Newcastle United without Zhen Shaolong.

Owen considered leaving.

Before the game was over, Owen only thought for a few minutes before he found his ideal goal.

Manchester United!

Owen wants to join Manchester United, not because Manchester United are big clubs, not because Manchester United have the potential to win glory, but because Manchester United have his confidant in the team.

Wayne Rooney, who also exercises horse walking!

Recently, Owen has often chatted with Rooney, they are not gossiping, but chatting about the experience of exercising horse steps and cultivating the spirit. Spiritual cultivation' dismissed, thinking that it was completely Ferdinand's imagination, because he had never seen Zhen Shaolong practice any spirit, but the exercise of horse steps can be communicated, and they also discussed some other Chinese martial arts training methods, such as horse stakes and the like, Rooney is still in the garden at home, especially placed in several wooden stakes, and when he is free on weekdays, he walks back and forth, saying that it is a light skill cultivation method, which seems to be very helpful for exercising ball control skills.

Owen hadn't tried it yet, and he was about to try it.

In the entire Premier League, and even in the Europa League, I haven't heard of anyone else exercising.

Rooney, his confidant!

Owen doesn't like Manchester United very much, but he also has a good team to go to, and he feels that he is in a state where he can be confident of taking a place at Manchester United as long as he keeps working on the horse.

When the time comes, he and Rooney will be the ...... to sweep Europe No, it's the most powerful forward combination of all teams outside Zhen Shaolong's team!

As for being born in Liverpool and not joining the Manchester team?

"Did I say that?"

"Forgot!"

"It's true, when I'm older, my brain is not as good as it used to be......"

————

While Owen was practicing the 'Great Law of Mental Forgetting', the game on the field ended with the referee's whistle.

The final score was locked at 6-1.

Newcastle United beat Villarreal to win the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

That score was enough to secure their place early, and there would be no suspense in the second leg.

The same goes for media coverage.

"Five goals apart is enough for Newcastle to advance early! They occupy a place in the Final Four! ”

"Historic reach to the last four, Newcastle fans can celebrate in advance!"

"Six goals in a single game, Zhen Shaolong scored two shots and four passes, his performance shined all over the field, and Viduka's hat trick was also delivered by him!"

"With the support of Zhen Shaolong, as long as he is a striker, he can complete a hat-trick...... With the help of Zhen Shaolong, Viduka reached the peak of his career! ”

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

“……”

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

Newcastle United are also happy.

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

It's so rare!

Although the team's schedule is not too dense across the April period, the Champions League quarterfinals are too important to be overlooked, and the team has no plans to take a holiday, even if the second day of the game, there is only a short half-day holiday so that the players can sleep well, but Keegan feels that the team should be relaxed.

6 to 1, what are you worried about?

In the second leg, not to mention going to Spain, even if it is to the center of the Pacific Ocean across the world, he is confident that he will lead the team to victory.

The holiday feels relaxed.

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

Zhen Shaolong's assistant team is indeed very short of people, so far, he only has two assistants, one is the agent Alice, Alice is in charge of everything, but there is too much work, she can't be busy alone, even if it is the affairs of dealing with the club, all of them are 'contracted' to Mendes's economic company, and she has been busy for a long time without touching the ground.

The second assistant was Claudio.

Claudio is good as a full-time nanny, but professional athletes, especially when it comes to Zhen Shaolong's fame, nanny work is the most secondary.

Claudio has many advantages, such as a good figure, a sweet smile, a somewhat stupid personality, and so on, but there is only one ability to be a competent assistant - cooking deliciously.

That's a bit of a lack of capacity.

Rena's arrival is an important addition, she is a professional fitness coach, and she has dabbled in fitness-related sports, even including distribution and taekwondo, I can't say how powerful she is, but her personal fighting ability is better than that of an ordinary strong man.

Torako doesn't have to be Rena's opponent.

Rena can be an assistant, can also be a bodyguard, can also do fitness guidance, professional yoga exercises, naturally she is indispensable, in addition, her communication skills are also good, and she also has third-rate university experience, some chores can be assured to her.

Wait a minute.

So Rena is a very important addition, Zhen Shaolong defined her as the second assistant.

Of course.

Everything pays attention to first-come, first-come, first-served, on the surface, Zhen Shaolong's statement is 'No. 3 assistant'.

Rena had just arrived and started working.

Afternoon.

Zhen Shaolong and Rena did yoga exercises together, felt a little tired, and began to enjoy the massage while lying on the bed.

Rena's massage techniques are very professional, she has dabbled in human kinesiology, knows which parts to press to relieve fatigue, and has carefully studied massage techniques in East Asia.

It's a lot of fun.

The other side.

Looking at Zhen Shaolong and Rena who were talking and laughing in the living room, Claudio's heart was sour, and he felt a lot of pressure.

Previously, she was the first assistant.

Yes.

Even Alice is not in Claudio's eyes, because most of the time in the family, there are only her and Zhen Shaolong, and she thinks that she is the most important.

Now there's one more competitor.

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

"Why?"

"I'll come first...... Why should I get the lowest wage? ”

Claudio felt very depressed, she could accept an extra assistant, and it was good that the other party was still someone she knew, but what she couldn't accept was that the other party's salary was higher than her own.

This is the psychology of comparison!

"But I have a career!" Claudio tries to find her strengths, "I have a lot of followers on Facebook and Twitter, and the videos I do with Alice have good ratings for every episode and earn more than my salary. ”

When I think about it, I feel a little more comfortable.

But...... Still awkward!

That day.

Claudio prepared a table of delicacies and warmly entertained Rena, and when the washing and scrubbing were finished after the meal, she ignored Rena next to her and sat next to Zhen Shaolong.

Then, lie down half-leaning.

Ten minutes later.

Under Rena's somewhat weird eyes, Claudio pulled Zhen Shaolong and rushed upstairs with a fierce look of 'you can't refuse'.

"Bang!"

The door was slammed shut.

Zhen Shaolong can't say what he is suffering!

The next day, Zhen Shaolong woke up and didn't have much energy, but Claudio prepared exquisite dishes early.

When Zhen Shaolong saw the food on the table, he immediately had a great appetite and ate it, and couldn't help but praise it, "Today is really rich!" ”

"Nothing." Claudio seemed to be modest, but then said, "I just got up at six in the morning to prepare." ”

"Just?"

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

Six.

Ten o'clock.

Four hours!

Zhen Shaolong couldn't help but admire Claudio's diligence, and after the meal, he heard Rena explain her work, "I will go to the security company today, your security guards are too few, and there is only one official Huzi." It's not going to work, if something happens, it's bad, and we have to prevent it from happening. ”

"I've already told Alice to go to the official security company and have them send four people to take care of your security. At home, at clubs, and on other occasions, you should have at least two people with you. ”

Zhen Shaolong listened and nodded continuously.

Rena continued, "You don't have to worry, the salary of ordinary security guards is not high, and you only need to spend an extra 20,000 to 30,000 euros a month in the future. It's nothing to you. ”

"In addition, in terms of endorsements, I took over part of Alice's work, and in the future, I will make an itinerary a month in advance, especially for fixed holidays, and maybe arrange some business activities."

"It's going to increase your income."

Zhen Shaolong continued to nod.

After a long conversation, Rena went back to work while Claudio went to prepare lunch.

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

Rena has just shown diligence, Claudio has also been much more diligent, every meal has become more hearty than before, and after the meal, I remember to prepare snacks, even juices and tea drinks, all homemade.

It's so comforting.

"I knew it earlier...... Rena should have been brought sooner. Zhen Shaolong thought regretfully, "Football must have competition, and there must be competition at home!" ”

"That's why competition is the most important thing."

"Isn't there a saying? Competition is the biggest driver of human development! ”

"It's decided!"

"When I go to Madrid, I will live in Laura's house, and then maybe the competition will be more fierce......"
