366 One Goal Fame
Peter? Petr Cech, a Czech, turned 22 on 20 May, but he is already the most popular player in the Premier League's goalkeeper of the season, and his Red Rebels have only been breached 18 times so far this season, the fewest goals conceded by any of the Premier League's 20 teams.
Alan? Alan Shearer, one of the most popular strikers in the Premier League this season, has scored 22 goals against Newcastle, and although he cannot dominate the scorers' charts, the 32-year-old has regained recognition from the world, and he is also hailed as Newcastle's symbolic flag.
On one side of the pitch at St James' Park, two players stood facing each other, their eyes fixed on each other's every move.
The referee stood not far away and blew the whistle for the penalty. Shearer took a few steps back, but his eyes remained fixed on Cech, as if he wished to detect the Czech's intentions from Cech.
But in Cech's place, he could only see a pair of wolf-like eyes, which were a little frightening!
'Shearer takes the penalty very hard, the ball is very fast, you have to make a prediction in advance, otherwise even if you judge the right direction, it will be too late, and the way he takes the penalty is different, playing more on the left, but occasionally on the right.
Here's the message from the coaching staff brought by Almunia, Alain? Shearer is a striker who has been a headache for all teams in England.
Cech didn't speak, but that didn't mean his mind wasn't working, and he felt that instead of judging Alain? Shearer's movements, rather than trusting his instincts, pounced to the left, and then he saw a powerful ball coming towards him, and he stretched his hands as far as he could, so that he could save the ball from the bottom line.
After saving Shearer's penalty, Cech leapt from the ground like a sturdy cheetah and roared at Shearer and the Newcastle players in a frenzy.
Shearer closed his eyes tightly and looked up at the sky, clearly regretting that he had missed the penalty.
The Red Rebels fans in the stands sang the song of Petr Cech once again to show their appreciation for the Red Rebels in distress, once again saving the Red Rebels in distress, with his magical hands.
Curtis beckoned his teammates to come over, and everyone gathered around Cech, chanting "Red Rebels" in unison, and then dispersed, no one knew what they were exchanging when they met, but since the game restarted, although the Red Rebels were inferior in numbers, they completely suppressed Newcastle in terms of momentum.
Jose Mourinho replaced the somewhat less physical De Rossi with Ismail, Curtis was more up front, more like a midfielder, but he also played well in this position, fast, explosive, flexible at the same time, and a good ball shot, which made the Red Rebels' midfield not at all weak because of De Rossi's departure.
However, after Ismael came on the field, the Red Rebels' attack once again improved greatly, especially Messi's cross on the right side, Ismael's point grabbing in the middle is very threatening, and the two players have cooperated since the youth team to the present, and they are full of tacit understanding.
Newcastle were intimidated by the momentum of the Red Rebels, but they were also very tenacious in defence, repeatedly disrupting the Red Rebels' attacks in key positions, but the Red Rebels still refused to give up and launched wave after wave of offensives.
On the left, on the right, in the middle, the Red Rebels almost went crazy, and even Curtis appeared frequently in the Newcastle penalty area, and all the players had only one thought, which was to score a goal.
Newcastle's 11 players have all shrunk into the penalty area, and they have completely given up on counter-attacking, and they are all focused on holding on to the imminent point in the final minutes!
Red Rebels fans sang the anthem in the stands to encourage the players not to give up!
They were established in the 10th tier, they worked hard for a few years, and finally came to the Premier League, they want the team to be successful, to be recognized by the world, they desperately need a title!
Singing and singing, the momentum created by the Red Rebels fans, who were only a few thousand people, overshadowed the Newcastle fans at home.
Patrice Evra sprinted back and forth with cramps, fine, a little processing to enter again; McCone scrambled over a teammate's pass, ran off the line, hit a billboard on the sideline, and was fine, jumped up and jumped back into the pitch to pass the ball to nearby Messi before the Newcastle players did.
Messi tried to break through the opponent's defense again and again, even if he was elbowed by the opponent on the cheek, he just didn't fall to the ground, he desperately sent the ball into the penalty area; Xiao Xiaoluo didn't care about showing off his favorite footwork in the past, he seized every opportunity to squeeze into the penalty area, even if he was fiercely shoveled to the ground several times, but he couldn't care about the shin guard board falling off, and as soon as he got up, he threw himself into the counter-robbery.
Villa, Ribery, Ismael, hit the goal of Newcastle again and again, although their bodies are under the huge pressure of the opposing defenders, but they all gritted their teeth and persevered, among which Ismael once almost knocked his head on the post in order to compete for a header.
The players are desperate, the coaches on the sidelines, and the fans in the stands are constantly cheering for them.
As the minutes ticked by, the three-minute stoppage time sign had been raised on the sidelines, but the Red Rebels players on the pitch were unaware of this, they only knew that the game was going on before the referee blew the final whistle.
In the 92nd minute of stoppage time, Newcastle's left wing-back made a vicious foul near the foot of the penalty area and pushed down Leo, who was about to score into the box? Messi, the referee awarded a free kick in front of the Red Rebels in a better position.
'It's a very good free-kick position, but David Beckham, the Red Rebels' chief free-kicker, is no longer on the pitch, otherwise he's very accurate in that position. Andy? Gray said with some regret.
'I've seen Ismael take free-kicks in youth games, but his free-kicks are so powerful that they don't fit into areas where distances are shorter, angles and arcs are more important, and Franck Ribery and Ronaldo have also taken free-kicks, but obviously they don't have enough confidence.
Seeing the players on the pitch close together to discuss, it was finally decided that Ribery and Messi would stand in front of the free-kick spot, and not far from them was the human wall that Newcastle was forming.
"Leo? Messi? I've also heard that he has practiced free-kicks, but I don't know if he has Michael? Johnson's kind of skill and ability. "Martin? Taylor said.
Michael? Johnson is a standout free-kick player in the Red Rebels' youth team, and is widely regarded as the youngest player who has inherited the level of Juninho Jr., and this season with the help of Beckham, the free-kick technique has also improved greatly, and he has begun to add more long and diagonal passes to the previous short-to-medium distance passes.
That's what the coaching staff gave him, as was Cesc Fabregas and Mikel.
"This free kick should be taken by Ribery, the French youngster's free kick skills are still good, it depends on whether he can make a contribution!" Andy? Gray thought it was the way.
But when Newcastle lined up the wall and the referee blew the whistle, Ribery ran out first, dribbled a shot, and then saw Messi accelerate forward and kick the ball with his left foot in a beautiful arc.
The ball cleverly bypassed the high jumping wall in mid-air, with a strong spin, first leaned towards the middle of the goal, but after crossing the human wall, it suddenly crossed a beautiful arc trajectory, directly brushed the goal crossbar into the net, although the goalkeeper of Newcastle reacted and jumped high, but after all, he still couldn't stop the ball from going into the net!
0:1!
The Red Rebels fans in the stands boiled and erupted!
Jose Mourinho even forgot to glide on the grass to celebrate, and the players hugged each other tightly.
Messi, the Argentine kid, is only 16 years old this year, but he has already played the role of Mr. Key many times this season, and in this game, he scored the winning goal for the Red Rebels.
If the Red Rebels finally reverse Arsenal to win the championship this season, then this goal is the most important goal related to the ownership of the championship, and it is also a golden goal worth tens of millions!
The Red Rebels' anthem fluttered over St James' Park, and all the Red Rebels fans who followed the team to the away stadium cheered and celebrated as if the team had won the league title.
The players cheered a little carried away on the field, on the other hand, the players of Newcastle were like deflated balls, completely losing their fighting spirit, even if there were two minutes left in the game, they forgot to work hard, they forgot to play football, just like the walking dead.
"This is undoubtedly a crucial victory, and the Red Rebels with the help of Leo? Messi's golden ball slotted down St James' Park to take the crucial three points and catch up with Arsenal, leaving the two sides just one point apart. ”
"In the final round of the league, the Red Rebels host Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal host Birmingham, these will be the two games that will determine the title, if the Red Rebels finally defeat Tottenham, and Arsenal also beat Birmingham, even if the Red Rebels have an impressive 27 wins this season, the points have reached a record 92 points, but after all, it will not be able to prevent Arsenal from winning the championship and will become the most tragic runner-up in the history of the Premier League!"
The most wins in a single season in Premier League history were Manchester United in 99/00, when they won 28 games that season, and Arsenal have now equalled that record and will set a new record of 29 wins in a season with a last-round win over Birmingham.
The highest points in the Premier League is Manchester United's 92 points in the 93/94 season, and the current Red Rebels and Arsenal are close to Manchester United's record with 89 and 91 points respectively, so no matter which team wins the championship in the end, it will be the most tragic runner-up in history, because according to this point, in any previous season, it has already been far ahead of the championship.
Some say it was the Red Rebels' sudden rise this season, and at the same time, after the big win over Arsenal in the first leg, it completely inspired the Arsenal players to fight and unite them, leading them to come from behind in the second half of the season, although they were beaten twice by the Red Rebels this season, but the Red Rebels were ultimately constrained by the pain of fighting on two fronts.
It can be said that no matter what the result of the last round of the league is, if the Red Rebels want to win the championship, they will have to look at the match between Arsenal and Birmingham, as long as Arsenal wins the opponent, then the Red Rebels have no chance of winning the championship!
But as Martin? As Taylor said in his column ahead of the final round of the Premier League, the fact that the Red Rebels have come so far is a testament to their quality and that they can go to the last game with their heads held high, regardless of the outcome of the final Arsenal game, the Red Rebels are the uncrowned kings of the season.
However, Mourinho clearly does not intend to fight the uncrowned king.
Against Tottenham, the Red Rebels looked very strong after a week's rest, and they were a threat from the start of the game, and the magic quartet of Villa, Ronaldo, Palacio and Kaka gave Tottenham a slap in the face from the start, and Kaka assisted Villa to score a goal.
After that, the game became a goal game for the Red Rebels.
In-form Villa scored a hat-trick with two more goals in the 23rd and 56th minutes, while Palacio also had two goals in his hand and Kaka and substitute Ismael scored one each.
The Red Rebels won an almost frantic 7-0 win over visiting Tottenham, and Cesc Fabregas, who started in place of David Beckham, was in excellent form throughout the game, his best game since joining the Red Rebels, with four assists and a number of threatening passes that were not taken advantage of by his team-mates.
At the same time as the Red Rebels' victory over Tottenham, the scores of several other games that kicked off at the same time in the 38th round of the league were also fed back to the Red Rebels' stadium, and the most popular of them was undoubtedly the game when Arsenal hosted Birmingham.
